Chapter 168 - The result of being too strong

It was another downpour, Wei Xuan stood in his home and looked at the fine rain curtain outside the window. His line of sight was a little empty, as if his goal was not the rain curtain itself, but layers of rain curtains and somewhere behind the buildings in the community.

In fact, what he was thinking about at this time was indeed what was behind the rain curtain rather than the rain curtain itself.

He had been busy with the ice cellar in the underground parking lot before, and just as he was fixing the ground, building up the walls around the entire building with bricks, and preparing to dry it, it rained heavily again.

In the past, Wei Xuan always had a very positive attitude towards rain, and would welcome their arrival with great joy every time so as to contribute to his family’s great cause of water storage. But at this time, when he was building a house, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the natural weather that interrupted his enthusiasm—his house was still hanging out! After this rain, some water will enter the underground parking lot, and the moisture inside will not dissipate for a while. God knows when the wall tiles will be completely dry? !

And what if the rain is relatively heavy, and the rainwater rushes into the basement and destroys the **** that I don’t know is dry?

God’s complexion never changes according to people’s wishes. This time, the heavy rain poured down for nearly two days, and Wei Xuan’s complexion kept pace with the weather for the past two days. No matter how hard Du Hang tried to Kissing and hugging didn’t improve much.

Finally, after waking up on the third morning, the sky that had stopped raining last night was clean and transparent, and the sun shone directly on the ground, reflecting a layer of shimmering light on the stagnant water on the streets in the city, as if at this time It seems that Wei Xuan is in the midst of large and small lakes and rivers, not in the ruins of a post-apocalyptic city.

After Wei Xuan got up, he didn’t even bother to eat breakfast, and immediately asked Du Hang to take him to the underground parking lot to check the situation. At this time, there were traces of rainwater flowing in on the ramp of the underground parking lot, and there were also traces of water accumulation in many places on the basement floor. Fortunately, Wei Xuan chose to build the ice cellar closer to the inner side, and most of the rainwater flowed along the terrain. After entering the second basement, and the **** he built outside the house was basically dry, so there was no sign of being washed away, Wei Xuan was relieved.

“As long as it doesn’t rain continuously for the past two days, it should be completely dry within a week, right?” Wei Xuan wandered around the house again, touched the wall with his hand, and loosened it after confirming that there was no problem with the wall itself. In one breath, with a flashlight, he led Du Hang to the direction of the second basement floor.

The condition of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor. There is a little water accumulation in some places, but it is not serious. Most of the rainwater flows into the third floor along the slope, and the third floor underground has been carefully confirmed by Wei Xuan. It has increased a little bit, but the amount of water is not particularly large. It is only slightly higher than the place he marked before. Back then, Wei Xuan asked Du Hang to nail a golden stick at the place where the water level was. As a mark, now you can vaguely see the golden thing reflecting light at the water level with a flashlight.

After confirming the height of the stagnant water, Wei Xuan was sure that even if there were a few more heavy rains within this year, the stagnant water here would not be able to submerge the second floor, so he carefully illuminated the water with a flashlight repeatedly to confirm that there was not much water in it. something came out. Then he took Du Hang upstairs and went home together.

After the house is built, it needs to be completely dried before proceeding to the next step. When Wei Xuan built the walls, he used a relatively traditional method. In addition, the ventilation effect in the basement is not very good, so this cost him a lot of money. time of week.

Perhaps the house has already been completely dry, but who made Wei Xuan inexperienced and relatively abundant in time? In any case, after confirming that the house was completely dry, Wei Xuan again excitedly dragged a few zombie boys to help him, and rushed to the basement floor with Du Hang.

There are many steel plates piled up at the corners of the basement. These steel plates are the walls that the zombie boys dismantled from the express ice cellar. After being processed, they are placed here to prepare for the construction of a new ice cellar. Before building the house, Wei Xuan roughly calculated the length and width of the steel plates, and he knew how many fast steel plates would be used for each wall.

Before building the house, he deliberately used steel bars instead of steel pipes as pillars, and also used them as a “frame” for installing steel plates for the convenience of installing steel plates.

Ask Du Hang and the zombie boys to walk into the room with him holding the steel plate and the large metal tank sprayed with polyurethane foam, and turn on the flashlights on the shelves that have been set up in advance as lighting equipment. At one point, I tried to hold the nozzle and press the switch of the spray – white foam sprayed out from the nozzle, and after a while, a large pile was sprayed on the wall in front of me. Wei Xuan hastily adjusted his position and sprayed these things onto the wall as evenly as possible.

It was like squeezing cream when making a cake, the sound of sizzling kept ringing, and the white foam formed a relatively uniform layer of thermal insulation coating on the wall. After one of the areas was sprayed, Wei Xuan immediately Let Du Hang beside him install the steel plate in his hand.

One piece after another, Wei Xuan tried to spray foam by himself at first, but it didn’t take long for him to feel his arms were numb and unable to exert strength, and the nozzle was not easy to control due to the reaction force. So after he lazily handed over this type of work to Du Hang, Wei Xuan found helplessly—because the zombies would not feel tired, and no matter how long they raised their arms, they would not be tired. , Du Hang actually mastered it much better than himself!

What makes people vomit blood even more is that it’s okay for Du Hang to be in charge of this relatively technical job, but the zombie boys can easily paste steel plates on the area sprayed by Du Hang…the effect seems to be worse than directing it by yourself. Much better!

“…Suddenly I feel so useless.” Wei Xuan was unable to cover his face. Now he has to wear a gas mask to block the smell from the spray foam when he stays in this room. Compared with the zombies He said that at this time, he was more like a idler watching the excitement.

The younger brothers are too capable, which will really hurt the boss.

After a while, the ceiling was also fixed by the younger brothers led by Du Hang. Wei Xuan thought for a while, and simply asked them to cover the ground with steel plates—since it is an ice cellar, it should be made all-round.

With the help of the zombie brothers, the work of pasting the steel plates in the room only took a few hours to complete. Wei Xuan can go home and have a good lunch and take a nap at this time.

Turned around the ice cellar again, and confirmed that he was really useless at all. Defender Xuan had to take Du Hang and his younger brothers and walked away. Just go home neatly…

At this time, the bottles and cans at home have been filled with purified rainwater again. In fact, when there are various freezers available at home, Wei Xuan can simply use the freezer to freeze some ice cubes and stuff them into the ice cellar for storage.

However, Weixuan is planning to use those plastic storage boxes to freeze ice cubes like last year, and when using the freezer in winter, he can use the outside temperature to keep the ice cellar below zero, but now he needs to keep the temperature of the ice cubes at Cool down in the freezer. And if you use a freezer to freeze the ice, it is not easy to directly fill the storage cabinet with water and put it in the refrigerator to freeze, so you can only give up for the time being. It is more cost-effective to wait until winter to use the natural “refrigerator” to freeze the ice.

“Forget it, let’s wait until winter to talk about these things, let’s eat first.” Wei Xuan thought for a long time before finally giving up the idea of building an ice cellar in advance. After all, the ice cellar has just been completed, and it still needs to be dried for a few days. As for the taste, it is not convenient to put things in it now.

Thinking about it, he opened the refrigerator and looked at the frozen ingredients and other things inside, Wei Xuan was worried about another thing again – “There is not much meat…”

The meat of the few big birds obtained last year has been consumed this year, and now there is not much left.

Although Wei Xuan has been eating vigorously this year because he is afraid that the meat will be spoiled if it is frozen for too long, but when he sees that the meat has bottomed out and he has not yet found a way to replenish the meat, he still feels a little bit heart block.

“You can’t go over there to get meat.” With some regret, Wei Xuan took out a piece of meat to defrost, and unconsciously looked in a certain direction. He heard from those two lunatics that there are a large number of mutated animals of various types entrenched outside the villa base.

Throwing away those strange and weird animals that ran out of the zoo, there are still many edible species! If you can catch one…

Shaking his head abruptly, Wei Xuan dismissed the thoughts in his mind. Although he wanted to eat meat, he was unwilling to have any accidents for a bite of meat. He didn’t want to expose Du Hang’s difference, and he didn’t want to have direct contact with other survivors.

Isn’t it just meat? Even if he can’t hunt any prey later, he still has a lot of dried meat to eat!

There was a burst of roar of vehicles, and they drove out from the No. 7 base, heading towards the urban area.

The person in charge of this mission was in an armored vehicle in the middle of the convoy. At this moment, they were sitting in the vehicle with serious expressions and looking at an enlarged map of City T.

“The situation in the deep part of the city is unknown, but we can confirm from the latest satellite photos that the buildings at our target site are still intact.” One person pointed to the location marked with a red pen on the map, and spoke to Everyone said.

The others nodded with the same serious expression.

“I just don’t know if the equipment inside is still there.”

“This can only be known after we arrive.” The first person took out a pile of documents and looked through them, “Before this operation, the base has already counted the situation of the teams that have recently entered the urban area, the casualty rate It is much better than two months ago. It is rare for the team to be completely wiped out. Otherwise, we would not be sent to carry out this mission, but everyone should not relax their vigilance. After all, since the beginning of this spring, the mission to enter the city is dangerous. Sex becomes very high.”

Everyone nodded upon hearing the words. If it weren’t for the fact that the recent casualty rate has started to decrease, and there are fewer news of annihilation of the army, some of them are willing to participate in this mission? After all, most of those teams are just looking for something on the edge of the urban area, and no one has really gone deep into the urban area.
