Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1841 Life and death moment, sandbag dam!
The flood was raging.

For the Northwest Base in Jiayu City, the resulting floods were even more terrifying.

There are the Qilian Snow Mountains in the south and the Black Mountains in the northwest. The overall trend is high from north to south and low from east to west.

The melted snow hit Jiayu City and the wine market. As soon as the temperature here rose to zero degrees, the water level began to rise sharply.

It increased sharply from the original seven or eight meters to sixteen meters.

And as temperatures rise, more snow melts, and the bigger the floods that form.

The wall of the Northwest Base was only more than 20 meters high, and this incident caused great distress to the Northwest forces.

“Boss, we have to raise the wall, otherwise the temperature will rise even higher in two days.

If we don't raise the wall, the entire base will be flooded! "Yin Jipeng, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Base Force, was worried and hurried to the boss's residence, frowning and saying.

The flood outside hit the bricks of the wall, creating rolling waves. The bricks, which had stood for thousands of years, had been soaked by the flood before, and then they were repaired again, and this time they were soaked by the flood again.

The sound of the waves was so loud that you could even hear it if you walked out of your room in the city.

Unexpectedly.

After Yin Jipeng's earnest advice, the boss responded a little slowly.

"you do not need to worry."

“But flash floods are real.”

"It just so happens that I also wanted to talk to you about this matter. Zhao Mingfei has already found relevant experts to give their opinions. Now they are preparing to use sandbags to reinforce the wall and increase the height of the wall to resist floods. You just need to cooperate with them."

Yin Jipeng, who had originally planned to continue persuading the boss, suddenly stopped.

Unexpectedly, the boss had already made preparations, but he didn't discuss the matter with him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, yet such a big matter was not discussed with him.

But in the Northwest Base, the boss has the final say, his words are absolute authority, and no one dares to object.

Even he, the captain, was promoted by the boss by luck. If the boss wanted to remove him from his position, he would have no way to stop it.

Although he is the captain-in-chief, the several column leaders under him are almost all the boss's confidants, and he is completely sidelined.

"Is there any problem?" The boss, who hadn't waited for Yin Jipeng's reply for a long time, raised his head and glanced at Yin Jipeng.

"No, no, boss. I'll go down then."

The boss didn't answer, but just waved his hand, indicating that he could go.

After leaving the boss's residence, Yin Jipeng looked at the azure sky with extremely complicated feelings.

His position in the entire Northwestern forces is somewhat awkward.

In name he is the captain of the army, but in reality he is more like a mouthpiece, and the army is firmly controlled by the boss.

"Ugh"

Yin Jipeng didn't think about these bad things any more and walked towards the armament department.

in the afternoon.

They began to reinforce and raise the wall one after another.

Building the wall is too slow for the current Northwest Base.

One is that there are relatively few construction workers.

The entire Northwest Headquarters Base, including combat personnel, has less than 5000 people, of which are combat personnel, and most of the rest are family members of combat personnel.

The second is that building materials are relatively scarce, although there are more mining resources in the northwest.

However, the environment is relatively harsh and development is difficult.

Being able to raise the wall with sandbags is actually the most suitable method for the Northwest Base.

They are located in the Gobi Desert, and the north is the desert. Even the places in the base where there is no solid ground are all sand.

So sandbags can be made from local materials.

Moreover, sandbags have multiple functions in flood control dams, including preventing dam landslides, raising dam heights, buffering flood impacts, and blocking pipe bursts.

They used flood-prevention sandbags to repair the embankment on the water side of the dike.

The sandbags swell after absorbing water, and they are stacked and compacted in layers, with loose soil added between the layers to prevent leakage. When used with plastic film, the anti-seepage effect is better.

and.

As flood levels continue to rise, putting tremendous pressure on flood control embankments, the flexibility of flood control sandbags can play an important role.

Spread the sandbags flat, tie them to the wooden stakes on the embankment with ropes, and throw them directly onto the water.
The inflated sandbags can rise and fall with the waves due to their buoyancy, playing a wave-breaking role and thus protecting the dam from flood impacts.

Under the leadership of Zhao Mingfei and Yin Jipeng, thousands of combat personnel and workers filled sand in an intensive and orderly manner, transported it to the upper and lower parts of the wall by vehicles, and continuously raised the height of the wall.

You know what, they use sand to raise the wall very quickly.

In just half a day, a triangular slope had been formed near the inner side of the base wall, with sandbags at the bottom providing support for the wall.

Next, all you need to do is continue to raise the wall with sandbags.

The next day, early in the morning, the sun just came out.

The temperature in the northwest has risen to two degrees above zero. As the temperature rises, more snow melts and the flood level rises rapidly.

"Report"

"The flood level has reached 18 meters, only eight meters away from the top of the wall, and is still rising at a very fast speed!"

"How could it be so fast!" Yin Jipeng quickly ran towards the wall.

On the wall, Zhao Mingfei looked at the contents of the drone footage with an extremely solemn expression.

"The meltwater in the Qilian Snow Mountain has increased, and we must speed up!" Zhao Mingfei said in a solemn tone when he saw Yin Jipeng coming up.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get someone to raise the wall!"

"Get down from the wall!" Zhao Mingfei turned around and walked under the wall.

"Captain Yin, I'll go talk to the boss and ask all non-combat personnel to come and help. You should also arrange for more manpower here. All basic defenses will be withdrawn and all will be put into this waterproofing project."

"Okay." Yin Jipeng looked at the water level that was visibly rising and agreed without hesitation.

This is a life-and-death moment, and we cannot be careless.

They are so close to the Qilian Snow Mountain that even their water all year round comes from the melted snow from the Qilian Snow Mountain. The melted snow forms a river called Beida River.

Ten minutes later, the Northwest Base sounded the whistle.

Whether you are a scientific researcher, or a man or a woman, as long as you are in the Northwest Base, you all have to come out and help with the work.

Sand is dug with shovels, put into sandbags, carried onto transport trucks, and then the sandbags on the transport trucks are delivered to the wall. It is an assembly line operation and everyone is busy with this.

On the tarmac.

Several people carried the boss's personal luggage and belongings onto the helicopter. The boss sat in the glass house of the central villa, looking at the dense crowd outside, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Boss, everything is ready. Do you want to retreat?" the subordinate asked cautiously.

There are many disposal bases in the northwest, including the Yumen Oilfield branch base, which has an altitude of 3500 meters. This flood has the least impact on them.

The farms and ranches in Zhang City were the hardest hit.

In order to ensure the boss's safety, they are ready to let him retreat to the Yumen branch base at any time.

The boss waved his hand and said, "No, I want to fight the flood with everyone this time."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate's mouth twitched, and he dared not refute.

I secretly said:

Staying here and watching is like helping with the flood. If you really want to show off, you have to go down and help yourself.
But people like the big boss had a relatively high status before the end of the world, and they had never been involved in housework. It was impossible for him to go down and dig sand with a shovel.

But in the eyes of the big boss, he was willing to stay because he felt that he had shared the hardships with everyone.

The subordinates knew very well that once the flood outside the wall broke through, the boss would definitely fly away in a helicopter.

This is beyond doubt, otherwise people would not have prepared their luggage for the journey in advance.

Just in case.

On the fence.

All the ultraviolet lamps and artillery have been removed.

The originally flat ground of the wall was filled with bag after bag of sandbags.

The fence of the Northwest Base was five meters wide. People carrying sandbags were everywhere, some of them even bare-chested under the sun, carrying sandbags and placing them on the fence.

"Be careful!!!"

Suddenly, a man carrying a sandbag accidentally slipped when putting the sandbag on the edge of the wall, and his body fell straight down the wall.

thump!
He hit the water with a splash.

"Hurry up and let the rope down!" a man shouted anxiously to the people around him.

Everyone hurried to find a rope.

A team leader scolded: "Don't look for him anymore, he can't be saved."

as predicted.

Red blood floated out from under the water, and then the man who fell into the water struggled to come out, "Help."

He shouted these two words, and several zombies floated up from the bottom of the water, grabbed him, and sank back to the bottom of the water.

They could even see that a zombie had bitten his throat.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

At this moment, everyone realized how dangerous this job was.

For the sake of convenience and efficiency, they are unable to tie a safety rope. Tying a safety rope would be very slow and people coming and going would easily cause the safety rope to be stepped on.

The cold-blooded captain sighed.

"So be careful!"

Seeing that everyone had stopped working, he frowned and scolded, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and work! Are you going to just sit there and wait for the flood to come?"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream and continued to work.

It’s just that the scene they just saw is still replaying in their minds.

As it approaches noon, the temperature outside continues to rise and the amount of water flowing down from the Qilian Snow Mountains is increasing.

It constantly washes over the walls of the enclosure, creating wave after wave of spray.

In just three hours, with the efforts of tens of thousands of people, they piled up a sandbag dam nearly two meters high, which became more solid after being sprayed with water.

Sandbags become heavier when they come into contact with water, and countless sandbags piled together form a barrier.

In just three hours, the flood level rose by two meters to 20 meters.

Almost as fast as they were piling up sandbags.

"Damn, the flood is rising too fast!" Youlong, the captain of the second column, couldn't help but complain as he looked at the gradually rising water level.

At this moment, he was also sweating profusely as he carried the sandbags to the transfer station in front.

They used a long dragon relay method, relying on the wall to extend more than 20 meters under the wall. There was an area serving as a transfer station every five meters to continuously transport sandbags upwards.

The people standing on the wall were responsible for stacking sandbags. They stacked the sandbags on the wall from the outside to the inside.

Their job is also the most dangerous. In just a few hours, three people accidentally fell off the wall. Once they fell, they would basically be killed without a complete body.

Everyone is fighting and racing against time.

evening.

The flood water level reached 24 meters, and the height of the wall increased from 26 meters to 32 meters.

As the sun went down, the flood level rose much more slowly.

"What should we do? It's getting dark. Should we continue moving the sandbags?" Zhao Mingfei asked worriedly.

Yin Jipeng glanced at Zhao Mingfei and asked, "What did the boss say?"

"The boss asked me to discuss it with you." Zhao Mingfei looked at the zombies in the water with some fear in his eyes.

Yin Jipeng thought for a moment and said:
"I think we have to work overnight. The water level is only 8 meters away from the wall. Although the water level does not rise as fast at night as during the day, it is still rising."

"It will take at least 12 hours until tomorrow morning. At this rate, it is very likely to flood our walls. We can't take the chance!"

"What about the wall-climbing zombies?" asked Zhao Mingfei.

Yin Jipeng said, "Pull the wires over here, place the UV lamps as usual, and have everyone avoid them when carrying them. Keep stacking them higher, and the UV lamps will be placed higher as well."

"Anyway, just let everyone be careful."

"There is a solution to the problem of darkness. Turn on all the searchlights in the base to provide lighting."

Zhao Mingfei felt that this was a good idea, so he picked up the intercom to contact the boss and told him about their decision.

The boss allowed it.

Then they immediately took action and took all the ultraviolet lamps that were originally placed near the wall.

Place on top of the sandbags.

In order to ensure that the UV lamp can be placed more stably, they placed the UV lamp in the middle and pressed it down with sandbags on both sides.

After the surrounding sandbags are piled high, place the ultraviolet lamp at a higher position, and repeat this cycle.

In order to survive, they burst out with extremely high efficiency.

In less than 15 minutes, they had placed the ultraviolet lamps.

And continue to carry sandbags.

Night falls quietly.

The ultraviolet light shone on the turbulent water surface, and countless zombies appeared on the water surface. The purple-blue waves hit the zombies, making them look extremely weird.

It is not as convenient at night as during the day, and they have been carrying sandbags intensively for several hours, so their speed has slowed down a lot.

However, since the speed at which the flood outside was rising had slowed down, their height from the water surface remained at about eight meters.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was 12 o'clock in the evening.

The water level reached 26 meters, and the height of the wall plus sandbags reached 35 meters.

Now is the time to test their sandbag defense.

Because the northwest base wall is only 26 meters high in total, the remaining 9 meters are sandbag dams built today.

All eyes are on you.

The floodwaters rose and submerged the sandbags at the bottom layer.

Half an hour later, they were pleasantly surprised to find that except for a little bit of water leaking in, the sandbag dam was able to completely withstand the flood, which showed that their method could really succeed!

Zhao Mingfei excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the boss.

"Boss, the sandbag dam is blocking it."

The boss who was already sitting in the helicopter didn't sleep either.

After receiving Zhao Mingfei's message, he replied: "Not bad, you did a good job this time."

He put down the intercom and said to the driver in front of him with a very happy mood:

"No need to take off for now."

A personal secretary who was taking care of him asked, "Boss, do we need to get off the helicopter?"

"No, I'll just rest here."

The boss was lying on a reclining chair in the helicopter, which even had a massage function and could be laid completely flat.

This helicopter is the boss's personal helicopter. It is luxuriously decorated with a toilet, a kitchen, even a shower room, and a large bed. It is like a mobile home.

"correct."

The boss suddenly called his personal secretary.

"Tell Jing Dagan and the others to keep an eye on the situation outside at all times. If there is a flood, have the pilot take off immediately and head to the Yumen Oilfield Base."

"Yes." The personal secretary nodded.

Although the flood has been blocked now, it is not known whether the sandbags will continue to hold up as time goes by.

So to be on the safe side, someone was sent to watch the flood outside at all times.

Once the dam broke, he immediately ordered the pilot to take off for the Yumen Oilfield.
