While Zhou Ji was sweeping Wanxiang Yayuan, Xun Ye and Song Qi were not idle either. They mobilized their manpower to dig tunnels and maximized the use of existing underground garages as "springboards" to save manpower and material resources. Sima Yang, Zhao Zongxuan, Yue Zhilan, and Shi Bi continued to dismantle cars and weld iron doors. Every time they excavated an underground garage, they installed iron doors at the entrance of the tunnel and simply fixed them with latches without locking them.
Most of these underground garages belong to units and office buildings, and there is not much oil and water to squeeze out. Xun Ye was worried about encountering "parasitic species", so he blocked the entrances and exits with cars and did not arrange for anyone to search. His thinking was very clear. Without Zhou Ji's investigation, he would never send out manpower. It would just be a disaster. If the "parasitic host" was brought back, it would be a disaster.
Zhou Ji worked tirelessly to sweep the entire multi-story bungalow and rental storefronts and brought back a lot of life-saving supplies. After returning from the last trip, he asked Zhao Zongxuan to erect the iron gate and weld the diagonal support piles , sealing the tunnel leading to the underground garage of Wanxiang Yayuan. Xiao Fu and Xiao Deng counted the materials as usual, classified them into books, and made rough calculations, which was enough to support them until they dug through the Hepingfang Station of Metro Line 17.
Increasing revenue is more important than reducing expenditure. Xun Ye and Song Qi found Zhou Ji, and the three bosses continued to hide in the Lawrence vs500l car for a meeting. Song Qi spread out the map and pointed out the underground garages that had been excavated one by one. Xun Ye opened a bottle of wine and poured half a glass for each of the three of them. The food to go with the wine was braised trotters and dried vegetables, especially the latter, which was steamed black. Shiny and extraordinarily attractive.
Xun Ye’s worries are not unnecessary. Zhou Ji does not agree with rashly sending people into units and office buildings. The “parasitic species” in Wanxiang Yayuan has sounded the alarm for them. If there is not enough return, one more thing is not worth it. One less thing. Song Qi did not raise any objection. He pointed to the latest progress in the tunnel. They had dug out the underground air-raid shelter of Sishui Middle School. It had been abandoned for many years. The air was turbid and the terrain was complex. An "expedition team" must be organized to explore it. To prevent accidents.
In the early years, in response to the call of "dig holes deeply, accumulate food widely, and do not seek hegemony", larger agencies, factories, enterprises, and schools in Surabaya City organized manpower to dig air-raid shelters. The air-raid shelter in Surabaya Middle School is of the largest scale. It is relatively large and well-constructed, with interior walls built in some areas, and the waterproofing and moisture-proofing work is done well. For a while, bananas were covered inside. Later, there was an accident. A few naughty guys sneaked into the air-raid shelter to "explore". They got lost inside and cried like a mess. They were rescued by security guards. The whole school criticized them. In order to prevent similar incidents, the principal waved his hand and The entrances to several air-raid shelters were sealed, and no one has entered since.
The "expedition team" was led by Zhou Ji. He ordered Liu Gong, Sima Yang, Zhao Zongxuan, Yue Zhilan, and Shi Bi to accompany him. Liu Gong was the rail transit assistant engineer found by Song Qi. His mission He just needs to find a suitable location to continue digging the tunnel. As for other issues, he doesn't need to worry about it. LiuGong has participated in the construction of Metro Line 17 and is also familiar with the abandoned air-raid shelter of Surabaya Middle School. For safety reasons, 17Line Hepingfang Station is built on the north side of Yamen Street, some distance from the campus. It is connected by a "pedestrian bridge" to avoid the location of the air-raid shelter. According to LiuGong's original plan, construction was started from the northernmost end of the air-raid shelter of Sishui Middle School, and a tunnel was excavated across Yamen Street, so that one could smoothly enter Hepingfang Station. The problem was that Yamen Street was a main road, with high construction requirements and a very solid foundation. The last section of the tunnel is a huge undertaking.
The air-raid shelter was dark and the air was turbid. Zhou Ji lit a candle and walked seven or eight steps inside. Suddenly he felt a cold wind blowing from above his head and the candle flame flickered. He looked up and saw that You can see the strong tree roots exposed in the soil, twisting like dragons and snakes, which is quite artistic and beautiful. This is good news. The air-raid shelter is not completely airtight. The tree roots penetrate the soil and have a certain ventilation effect. There is no need to worry about suddenly suffocating due to lack of oxygen while walking.
Zhou Ji turned around and made a gesture, asking everyone to follow him. To be cautious, he continued to hold the candle. The air soon became less turbid. The candlelight flickered to the left and then to the right, which was obviously an air raid shelter. The top of the candle was penetrated by tree roots, but the gaps were not big. The cold wind could only weakly flicker the flame, making the candle burn brighter.
Yue Zhilan held up the emergency light for illumination, while Shi Bi held a compass and muttered something, sketching a brief map on a booklet. The roads in the air-raid shelter were very irregular and twisted like spiders. hole, he remembered with great difficulty. Fortunately, Zhou Ji didn't walk very fast, and stopped from time to time to look at the rooms on both sides. Some places were used to cover bananas, and there was still some smell of rotten fruit. Some places had no support, and the earth and rocks had collapsed, and they were like ruins.
The air-raid shelter has been constructed many times, and some naturally formed underground rivers and caves have also been used. It is undulating and has many forks and dead ends. Generally speaking, there is a reinforced main road running from south to north. throughout the entire campus. Zhou Ji made marks on the wall with chalk and checked each section carefully. He had to go in and take a look at each room. He waited for Shi Ben to draw it and confirm that it was correct before moving on. As a result, the original plan had to be modified. Liu Gong was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Zhou Ji didn't go all the way north along the main road and directly look for a suitable construction site, but wasted time in abandoned rooms along the way. inside.
Shuiyun Tin Can did not sense the whereabouts of the "parasitic species". The air-raid shelter was safe, at least in the areas they had explored, but Zhou Ji did not take it lightly. He insisted on visiting every corner. , to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and it will be too late to discover the "parasitic species" until the construction officially starts. What he was most worried about was not that the "parasitic species" would break out and hurt people, but that the "parasitic hosts" would secretly inhabit the bodies of living people. The weather was too cold, so we couldn't just strip naked and check for suspicious sarcomas on our bodies!
Although exploring air-raid shelters is time-consuming and laborious, there are also unexpected gains. This harvest was so unexpected that even Zhou Ji was surprised. When he was looking at a collapsed room, he found traces of snakes and rats. He peeled away the earth and rocks to reveal a rough hole. A nest of snakes and rats, snakesIf you don't know how to dig a hole, it's common for you to eat a mouse and live in a mouse hole.
He turned around and said hello. Sima Yang came forward excitedly with a crowbar and pried open the hole. Inside was a cavity the size of a basin, with more than a dozen snakes of various sizes hugging each other tightly. , so frozen that he had already lost his breath. He marveled, pushed the snake corpse aside, and poked it with his hands. The hollow mound collapsed with a crash, revealing a mottled brick wall. The top of this air-raid shelter was not reinforced. Over time, rainwater penetrated, and the earth and stone became soft, and collapsed, covering the inner wall. It became a nest of snakes and rats. It was unknown how many years passed before it was seen again. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster.
