Chapter 1772: 9 hours left

3pm.

There are still nine hours until midnight.

Oil City, trading bazaar.

Many trucks came out of the oil city, these trucks were full of food, dozens of trucks were lined up in a long queue along the central street.

The trucks were fully loaded and transported to the door of Store No. 2.

Store No. 1 and Store No. 3 were completely closed and connected with Store No. 2 to serve as grain sales points.

In the commercial district, some survivors saw the trucks and were surprised.

"Lao Xu, this truck seems to be loaded with grain. How come so much grain is suddenly transported here?" A man wearing a bamboo hat asked the middle-aged man next to him.

The tip of Lao Xu's nose was red from the cold. He blew his nose and said with a strong nasal voice:

"Never mind him, hen. I'm going to get some cold medicine first. I feel so bad."

The man in the bamboo hat nodded and walked towards the clinic with him.

crunch--

The first truck in the line stopped and Ding Meng jumped out of the car.

Found Gong Wan, the person in charge of store No. 2.

"Gong Wan, you are the person in charge, right?" Ding Meng asked.

"Yes, Captain Ding, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly send so many raw materials over?"

Gong Wan added:
"Recently, the number of people rushing to buy tortillas in the store has decreased significantly, and the number has basically stabilized. These corn and sweet potatoes cannot be consumed in a short period of time."

He looked at the dozens of trucks outside. Such a large amount of food could at least sustain the consumption of Store No. 2 for more than ten days.

Ding Meng glanced at Gong Wan and said decisively:
"From now on, the purchase of food is limited to ten days, and a single person can purchase food for 5 points."

"You tell the kitchen staff to stop making tortillas because they don't have enough time. So you start selling tortillas directly. One corn or one sweet potato is sold for the same price as one tortilla before."

"Let everyone in the store come out and start selling immediately."

"I know you have a lot of doubts. I can only say that this is the highest order. Extremely bad weather will break out soon. Everyone must stay indoors. The specific situation will probably be announced on the radio later. Just do as I say."

After hearing this, Gong Wan took a few seconds to react.

Nodding, "Okay, I understand."

He turned around and ran to the central kitchen at the back, shouting.

"Everyone, stop making food and come out to help."

Ding Meng thought Gong Wan would ask further questions, but he didn't expect Gong Wan to directly execute the order, which was very decisive.

This made Ding Meng look at him with a higher opinion.

In fact, Ding Meng didn’t know that Gong Wan had stayed in the big camphor tree base before.

He was one of the support personnel sent from the Dazhangshu Base. He had received many such emergency orders in the Dazhangshu Base before, and they all looked very strange.

But later it was verified how timely these orders were.

When he knew that this was a top-level order, he knew that the matter was extremely urgent.

at the same time.

South area of ​​the trading market.

Transportation rush area.

A large number of people came to the parking lot and quickly blocked it.

After six months of renovation and upgrading, the parking lot was transformed from an open-air area to an iron shed, and then to a concrete building.

A large building was built. The ground floor was used to park vehicles, and the second floor and above were used to store various supplies.

These places store a variety of contraband items deposited by survivors.

Mainly some weapons and dangerous explosives.

But these rows of buildings cover at least 2 acres, or at least square meters.

Including the three floors above, it is at least 6 square meters.

"Tomorrow, close all these gates, as well as the doors and windows of the storage area upstairs, and reinforce them," said Xia Liangfeng, captain of the 9th Brigade of the Militia.

Zhou Mingtian stood up straight and said, "Yes."

Xia Liangfeng looked at the time, it was 3:15 in the afternoon.

"We only have five hours left. Brothers, please act quickly. There is no time to waste."

"Okay." Zhou Mingtian turned around and left in a hurry.

Wall of trading market.

Dai Jiusheng had just received a notice asking him to continue on duty for eight hours and could only leave after eight hours.

He was supposed to be on duty at 2 p.m., but no one came to take over.

He was also asked to continue on duty and asked Director Ju Tianrui who would take over later. The answer he got was to go directly down the wall to the North District Administrative Building.

I have something to discuss with him.

Dai Jiusheng was a little confused and handed over the duty to the deputy captain.

Then he walked towards the north area of ​​the trading market with Dongfeng, who was also on duty.

On the way over, the two were full of thoughts and chatting.

"Do you have any news?" Dai Jiusheng asked.

"No, you don't know either?" Dongfeng shook his head.

"Well, I don't know either. Let's go to the administration building and ask."

Dai Jiusheng looked at the vehicles that suddenly appeared in the trading market, especially many of them were military trucks, most of which were people from the Operations Department and the Civilian Armed Forces Department, giving him a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Especially when passing by a business, he saw Captain Ding Meng and others distributing tortillas, and he realized that something was wrong.

ten minutes later.

The two arrived at the North District Administration Building.

In the administrative building, people come and go in a hurry.

No one is walking, everyone is running, as if racing against time.

The two found the office of the Director of Operations.

Ju Tianrui was talking on the intercom in the office at this time.

"Zhang Rufeng, your team will immediately go to the residential area to control it and prevent riots."

"What's the reason? I don't have time to explain so much to you. Just do as I say!"

"I've told you not to ask. There will be a broadcast notification later. Lead the team there immediately!"

"Execute the order!" After counting, Ju Tianrui put the intercom on the table and looked at Dai Jiusheng and Dongfeng who were standing at the door.

"Come on, come in quickly." After seeing the two of them, Ju Tianrui walked out from behind the table.

"Sit down, sit down." Ju Tianrui poured two cups of hot water for them and asked them to sit down.

Seeing Director Ju suddenly become so enthusiastic, Dai Jiusheng and Dongfeng both felt a little uncomfortable.

Ju Tianrui looked at their nervous faces and sighed.

When the white-haired wind comes, there must be someone on duty on the wall. The wall is relatively high and the wind is relatively strong. If a hurricane of level 10 occurs, the people in the watchtower will probably be in danger.

But to a certain extent, staying in the watchtower is actually relatively safe.

After all, the location is relatively high, so there is no need to worry about being buried by snow.

Originally they wanted to have some level four and five members on duty at the watchtower.

But if you think about it carefully, if the snow really reached a thickness of 20 to 30 meters, the entire city would be buried.

The sentry tower is so high that it shouldn't be buried. After the white-haired wind passes, these people will have the absolute initiative.
So, after thinking it over, I still think it is better to arrange some people of higher rank to be on duty.

As for the wall of the oil city, it was handed over to the first battalion of the final combat department to take charge.

The coverage rate of second-level personnel in the Operations Department’s combat personnel reached 70 percent.

Especially the First Battalion, all of whom are second-level personnel. They have joined the Dazhangshu Base for at least three years and are relatively loyal to the Dazhangshu Base.

It is safer for these people to stay on the high ground.

"Director, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly." Dongfeng said directly.

Ju Tianrui was silent for a few seconds, and said solemnly:

"You two are both retired from the army, so I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point."

"According to the forecast of the Natural Disaster Research Institute of the headquarters base, in a dozen hours, an extremely rare white-hair wind disaster will break out, with wind speeds reaching over level 10. By then, the visibility will be infinitely close to zero, and we will not be able to shovel snow or go out."

"Moreover, it is possible that within a week, the entire Oil City will be covered with snow, with a thickness of more than 20 meters, or even 30 meters!"

"I called you here to give you a mission. For the next week, you will guard the wall!"

"And after the White Hair Wind disaster, we dug through the snow and rescued everyone!"

Dongfeng and Dai Jiusheng were both shocked.

White hair wind?
Neither of them had ever heard of it, but it sounded so terrifying.

Dong Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's a week?"

"uncertain."

Ju Tianrui said in a deep voice: "Prepare a month's worth of food for you. If it takes more than half a month, you will be buried, and everyone will probably die."

hiss!
Dongfeng and Dai Jiusheng gasped.

so serious.

Dai Jiusheng took two deep breaths and clenched his fists.

"Director, regarding the heating, is the sentry tower heating functioning normally?"

What he thought was that it was now around 70 to 80 degrees below zero, and they were on the wall where the wind was strongest. If there was no heating, they probably wouldn't be able to last a week.

Ju Tianrui nodded and said:

"No problem. The boiler factory is very solid. We have sent the coal there. As long as there are no problems with the boiler factory, our oil city and the trading market can still maintain heating even if they are blocked by snow."

The chimney of the boiler heating plant in the trading market is 66 meters high. Even in the snow now, the huge chimney is still emitting burning white smoke.

Hot water is constantly flowing through the heating pipes, and they are basically buried underground. Even the small portion that is above ground is covered with multiple layers of thermal insulation and antifreeze materials.

It is to prevent the heating pipes from freezing.

Dong Feng's eyes flickered, and he asked:
"Do we still need to go out on patrol?"

"No need. We can't see anything now. How can we patrol? You just need to stay in the sentry tower and wait for the natural disaster to pass. If there is any emergency, report to us in time." Ju Tianrui replied.

After hearing Ju Tianrui's words, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They are afraid to go out in windy weather, as they might be blown away by the wind.

"I'm fine." Dongfeng nodded.

Ju Tianrui looked at Dai Jiusheng, and Dai Jiusheng said:

"Director, I have an unwelcome request."

"You say." Ju Tianrui nodded solemnly.

"I want to contact the headquarters base and communicate with my son using the radio station once."

?

Ju Tianrui thought he had some other request, just this?
"Aren't we usually giving you the opportunity to contact your family and relatives at the headquarters base?"

“There should be two times a week.”

Dai Jiusheng scratched his head and said, "I still want to contact you again."

Ju Tianrui tore off a piece of paper and signed his name in a flamboyant manner.

"Okay, I've approved it for you. You can go directly to the communications room later."

"Don't take too long. Next you have to quickly collect food, build the wall, and reinforce the sentry tower. We are short of manpower right now and everyone is busy. The reinforcement of the sentry tower will be left to you."

"Also, dismantle all the UV lamps and place them inside the sentry tower."

"it is good."

Dai Jiusheng suddenly remembered that there were still level 4 and 5 members on the wall, and asked quickly:

"What about the personnel on duty at Level 4 and 5? Should we send them back?"

"Yes, let them go back."

Ju Tianrui explained: "There is no need for them to squeeze in there. The sentry tower is so small that it can't accommodate so many people, as it needs to store ten days' worth of food and some snow shovel equipment."

"understood."

"Now that you understand, let's execute it quickly."

"Yes."

The two men stood up and hurried out.

After they left, Ju Tianrui pondered for a moment.

He stood up and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Wu Li, I asked you to get the coal to the boiler factory. How is the progress now?"

“We must prepare more than 20 days of coal.”
