Chapter 343 Container Ships
"I was just discussing this matter with Song Liang."
Xie Tu handed her the map. "The four edges of the No. 111 contaminated area have one side facing the sea. Huo Feng has already checked it. There are medium-sized container ships at the port. We'll have Qi Ling drive the ship directly out."
There were so many zombies over there that no one dared to go there.
A medium-sized container ship has a carrying capacity of approximately 100,000 tons and can carry about 10,000 20-foot containers.
There is a batch of ready-made supplies at the port.
Including the grain wholesale market that hasn't been moved yet, and everything they've collected over the past few days, there should be more than enough room to hold it all.
Qi Ling was dumbfounded. "But I don't know how to drive a boat."
How could he possibly transport so much stuff by himself in a single boat?
Some of the mutants in this contaminated area have developed superpowers, so why can't the gatekeeper grant them spatial abilities?
Tao Haohao casually replied, "It's okay if you don't know how to drive. Just learn as you go. Anyway, someone will pick you up once you get out of the contaminated area."
There are reinforcements from three bases outside.
Dawn Base is definitely keeping a close eye on the area around the contaminated zone, and the sentries will immediately notice if anyone goes out.
Many sentries at Dawn Base can drive boats. Once you're out there, hand the boat over to them, and you can dock at any beach, bypassing the contaminated area.
Xie Tu shared the same idea: "Learning to sail a ship shouldn't be too difficult. While we're loading the cargo these next couple of days, you can figure it out yourself."
As long as the boat can be started and driven out of the contaminated area, that's fine.
Qi Ling: "...How am I supposed to figure this out?"
The captain's demands are too high.
That's a large ship specifically for transporting containers; he's never even touched one, so how could he possibly operate it?
Yun Zhao held up a large map, checking the location of the port. Upon hearing this, she poked her head out and said, "Good luck."
The little bluebird glanced sideways at Qi Ling and let out a 'pfft' as if mocking him.
Qi Ling: "..."
Song Liang came to the rescue at the right time, saying, "Fire Phoenix has already cleared dozens of kilometers of beach. The people from Peach Blossom Island will probably come ashore tomorrow. Let's ask them then."
A group of people were able to escape the city in various boats, and perhaps some of them knew how to operate large ships.
Qi Ling forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Really?"
He always felt uneasy about navigating the boat alone.
What if he gets lost at sea and can't get back?
Seeing this, Yun Zhao comforted him, saying, "We will take you to the edge of the contaminated area and keep you there until we see you leave. Until then, we will not leave you alone."
Qi Ling felt somewhat safer after hearing this.
"One last question," Qi Ling said with some concern, "What if Fu Qian's team refuses to come in?"
Yun Zhao said quietly, "If you tell her this is a five-star contaminated zone, she'll probably rush there even faster than you."
Qi Ling: "...Okay, I'm fine now."
Routine summary meeting.
Plan tomorrow's action route.
At the port, Fire Phoenix has already cleared it out today. There are a few zombies in the container area, but that's nothing to worry about.
Xie Tu put away the map that Yun Zhao had returned and said to her, "The people from Peach Blossom Island will probably come tomorrow. You, Rabbit, and Qi Ling will stay here this morning. The rest of us need to go to the military base again."
Since the supplies need to be loaded onto the ship, and weapons are also a resource point, two military trucks are not enough.
We need to go back and restock.
Yun Zhao obediently replied, "Okay."
*
The next day.
It's the 31st day since the zombie outbreak, and the 9th day since Team Zero entered.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Xie Tu led Duan Xi, Song Liang, and Tao Haohao to the military base.
They didn't drive; they planned to go and then bring back four military trucks.
Some of the survivors had already gathered in the lobby and were waiting. When they saw the four people lower the drawbridge and walk out, they were all confused and didn't know what was going on.
Qi Ling had no choice but to go and inform them: "Take a day off today."
Most people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although supplies are important, they have collected enough food in the past few days.
Going out with the superhumans, the encounters along the way were too exciting and dangerous; often, if you weren't careful, you would be chased by a group of mutated zombies.
Their little hearts couldn't take it.
The strenuous physical labor left some people who lacked exercise feeling exhausted, yet they still had to get up and assemble.
Upon learning that they could rest today, everyone quickly dispersed.
Without saying a word or even a greeting, Dong Hui turned around and slipped back to his room to sleep.
He has enough supplies now, so it's impossible for him to help build fortifications.
He'd rather sleep all day than waste that time.
Of course, some people are not so happy about it.
Most of these people are survivors who were rescued just yesterday.
They had long since run out of food and arrived at the safe base penniless.
Last night, a kind person told them that they could go out with the leader of the base to get food.
The superhumans will protect everyone's safety; they only need to transport supplies, and the food in their backpacks doesn't need to be handed over.
It is said that as long as you go out once, you can get half a month's worth of supplies.
Who wouldn't be tempted if they heard that?
Upon learning that they were not going out, some people in the crowd secretly cursed their bad luck.
"I spent all night mentally preparing myself, and I couldn't even sleep well, but now I get to rest today?"
"Exactly, why didn't you tell us sooner? Why did you have to wait until we got up first thing in the morning to tell us?"
"So what do we do now?"
“I didn’t eat anything all day yesterday and I was so hungry that I was really looking forward to going out to get something to eat today.”
I'm new here.
These people didn't even know the situation on the island, and only dared to huddle together and discuss it in hushed tones.
Qi Ling did not hear it.
After a moment's thought, someone walked up to Qi Ling in a good-natured manner and asked, "Young man, are you going out again tomorrow?"
Qi Ling: "Yes."
The team leader said he wanted to move the airport and the grain wholesale market.
These survivors are readily available labor, and we will definitely need their help with the moving.
The man was relieved upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "So what should we do today?"
Qi Ling tried to keep a straight face, "You can go and build fortifications. As long as you work, you can eat for free at the restaurant."
The wall along the coast of the island has been under construction for the past few days.
The project on the north side is more than half completed.
Team Zero's rule is that if you want free meals, you have to work.
Qi Ling told him to go directly to Liao Yuxuan to register.
The man thanked him and left.
The six college students were busy running around, first distributing today's ingredients to the kitchen and then notifying the survivors to collect their daily supply of bottled water at the front desk.
Many people gathered around the front desk, haggling over the price, hoping to get an extra bottle of water.
Chen Xi and several other girls were surrounded by people, but Jing Yao couldn't stand it and stepped forward to help them out.
Qi Ling stood in the lobby for a moment, then silently turned around and went back to her hotel, where she told Yun Zhao and Rabbit what had happened next door.
As the number of survivors on the island increases, management becomes particularly difficult.
In particular, they are out all day and only come back to rest at night, so they don't care about logistics at all.
The six college students gradually lost control of those people.
"Once the people from Peach Blossom Island arrive, there will be more and more people, and the situation will likely become even more chaotic."
Qi Ling worried about something unexpected happening: "Won't they cause trouble for us behind our backs?"
Before Yun Zhao could answer, Rabbit stood up, grabbed her sniper rifle, and quickly moved to the window.
The King Chameleon climbed up the window to the rooftop to look around.
moment.
The rabbit turned its head and said, "Speak of the devil, and he appears! The people from Peach Blossom Island are here."
