Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2108 Taihang Mountain Military Base

Changshi.

The Dashi Railway Line is currently under repair.

Under the scorching sun, workers on the railway line toiled away, sweating profusely as they carried out repair work.

Along this railway line, a stop is set up every 100 kilometers.

This stop is for trains to temporarily stop, and some maintenance personnel will be stationed here permanently later so that the tracks and trains can be repaired at any time.

Considering the impact of zombies during the sea fog disaster, they will build the transit points into closed-off areas.

The stop is small in size, long and narrow in shape, and parallel to the train tracks.

And it has been capped.

There is a distance of six meters from the train tracks to the station.

Two passageways, each five meters wide and four meters high, connect the train tracks in the middle.

The passageway is closed until the train arrives at the station.

Once the train reaches the station, the passageway will open, allowing passengers to disembark and enter the station.

Thanks to its enclosed construction, even under sea fog, there's no need to worry about zombies sweeping into the site.

The site also has several sentry towers, searchlights, and weapon systems.

On a rest stop converted from a bus next to the tracks.

Shan Zimo felt dizzy and, pinching his nose, drank a dose of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

He caught a cold these past two days, a wind-heat cold, his throat is terribly dry, and he feels drowsy all over.

After drinking the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, he stood up and was about to walk towards the car door.

But the next second, his body swayed slightly, and he quickly grabbed the handrail to avoid falling.

"Shan Gong, why don't you take a rest?" Liu Shu, a second-level supervisor, said with concern when he saw this.

He helped Shan Zimo sit down.

Shan Zimo's forehead was covered in sweat. The air conditioning was on in the bus, but he still felt sweating all over.

He waved his hand, his face slightly yellow, and said:
"Xiao Liu, the construction site is now in your hands. The latest batch of rail locks that arrived is the wrong size; go and fix it."

Liu Shu nodded and said:
"Okay, Shandong University of Technology, don't worry."

Shan Zimo lay on the seat, completely exhausted, staring at the tracks outside the window.

It was so hot that colorless ripples appeared above the tracks.

He picked up a towel from the side, covered his nose with it, blindfolded himself, and tried to flatten his body to rest.

The work on the train tracks is too demanding; he is in charge of the southern section of the Dashi Line, which puts him under immense pressure.

Zhang Yunxiang, who works on the northern section, has already extended the track repairs to Wushi, and the progress is faster than on his side.

But at this moment, my body can't take it anymore, and I have the will but not the strength.

Wu City.

Zhang Yunxiang led the track construction workers to lay the tracks.

The route from Xinyang's oil city to the headquarters base passes through nearly ten stations.

One of the most important transit points, the Wushi Military Base, is a place that the railway must pass through.

However, since the previously selected K824 railway track did not connect to the Wushi military base, they needed to adjust the existing K824 track to bring the line into the Wushi military base.

Fortunately, the Wushi military base is not far from the original K824 track, so they only need to lay 40 kilometers of new track.

Next to the construction site.

Under the eaves of a house.

Several construction site managers, including Zhang Yunxiang, drank water in the shade to escape the heat.

A level-three supervisor laughed:
"Engineer Zhang, in another week, we estimate we'll be able to finish building the Wushi military base. After that, we'll build the cross-river bridge, and then our work should be considered complete, right?"

Zhang Yunxiang took a sip of water, shook his head, and said:

"End my ass! Chief Engineer Ding said they're going to keep building south until it connects with Shan Ziming's southern section."

"Huh??" the level-three supervisor asked.
"According to the plan, we only needed to build up to the southern section of the cross-river bridge, right? Why has it changed again?"

Zhang Yunxiang tightened the water bottle cap. "Why don't you ask Chief Engineer Ding?"

He put the water bottle back on his shoulder bag, then picked up the bag and walked to the car, where he threw it into the car.

"Get to work! The sooner we finish the repairs, the sooner you can return to base."

"Oh." The supervisors quickly emerged from the shade and returned to the construction site.

For nearly two months, they have spent those two months on the train tracks.

Their countless drops of sweat are left on this railway.

The supervisors in the northern section were all transferred from the construction sites in the oil city, and most of them had already settled down there.

They hadn't returned to the oil city for two months, and they hadn't seen their families for two months either.

On the Taihang Mountains.

Western foothills.

A sustainable helicopter hovers over the mountains.

On the helicopter.

Chen Delong frowned as he looked at an old man in the cabin.

"Are you sure this is here?"

The old man, his hair gray, leaned out of the plane window and looked down. "That's right, it should be here."

"I've worked here for ten years, of course I remember!"

Chen Delong looked at the old man named Wen Jianshe with some skepticism.

The information the old man filled out when he entered the camphor tree base indicated that he was an engineer from the 78th Construction Division.

Before the apocalypse, the 78th Division was responsible for the construction of special engineering projects at the base and belonged to the active-duty engineering forces at that time.

They built many of the hidden military bases.

After the large-scale search operation was launched in Dazhangshu, the local scavengers mainly went out to search for equipment, precious metal raw materials, and other such items.

The official combat teams and civilian armed forces went out to collect materials, mainly to find weapons left over from before the apocalypse.

Nowadays, there are more people in Dazhangshu, many of whom are from the military, and some are engineers who participated in the construction of military bases.

These people have a good understanding of the military region and some secret military bases.

The official search team then collected information based on what they provided.

Seeing Wen Jianshe's confidence, Chen Delong picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the driver in front:

"Little Horse, lower your altitude and find a suitable place to land below."

He simply couldn't fathom how there could possibly be a military base in such a steep mountain range.

"Received." Pilot Xiao Ma steered the helicopter downwards.

After descending, they discovered a dry riverbed below, with vegetation growing along its banks.

On both sides are towering mountains, like two sharp swords stuck in the riverbed.

The riverbed was full of exposed rocks, and the uneven surface made it unsuitable for landing helicopters.

buzzing-

The helicopter was flying over the riverbed, and Xiao Ma looked at the situation below and realized it was not a suitable place to land at all.

If the ground is uneven, a forced landing could easily cause the helicopter to tip over during the final landing phase, with the rotor blades hitting the ground.

"Captain Chen, we haven't found a suitable place to land down here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Delong looked at Wen Jianshe and said:
"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure this is the place?"

Wen Jianshe was also starting to lose confidence. "This shouldn't be happening. There should have been a road right next to this river. How come there's no road now?"

"Where is the road you mentioned?" Chen Delong asked.

Wen Jianshe pointed to the left side of the riverbed and said:
"It should be right here."

Chen Delong looked in the direction he was pointing, where the area was overgrown with grass and trees, and there was no trace of a road in sight.

but
His eyes narrowed, and upon closer inspection, he could see that the trees in this area seemed to be shorter than those around them.

A thought popped into my head: Could it be that this road has become invisible because it's been covered by weeds and trees in recent years?

It's entirely possible.

This road is close to a river, with abundant water, so the vegetation grows quickly, covering the entire road. "An Sheng, Leg Zi."

He looked at Wen Jianshe, "And you, come down with me!"

He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, put on his combat vest, and donned his tactical helmet.
After the four of them finished preparing, An Sheng looked at Chen Delong behind him, and Chen Delong gave him an OK sign.

Wow~
An Sheng opened the cabin door, and a gust of air instantly rushed from inside the cabin to the outside.

An Sheng put on the safety rope that had been prepared beforehand and threw the descent rope down.

In a hurry, he grabbed the handrail and parachuted down.

Wuwuwu——

The wristband rubbed against the descent rope, and half a minute later, he stepped onto the ground.

Untie the safety rope and quickly turn your back to the descent rope to establish a cordon.

Although the zombies have now fled to the ocean, under the training of Uncle San and his team, these members of the militia brigade possess considerable combat skills.

They will maintain their habitual tactical movements at this moment.

soon.

Tuizi, Chen Delong, and Wen Jianshe also landed one after another.

After the team members in the helicopter above saw them coming down, they reeled in the descent rope, and the helicopter began to circle to the side.

They were standing only three or four meters from the riverbed, but the weeds were extremely tall.

However, they are all somewhat withered and yellow now.

Chen Delong pulled out his entrenching tool from his waist and said, "Cut a path through it."

As he spoke, he took an entrenching tool and chopped down the weeds in front of him.

After clearing a space, Chen Delong inserted his entrenching tool into the soil and began digging.

After digging only three times, he felt the ground harden, as if he had hit a hard object, and he couldn't dig any further.

His expression changed, and he thought to himself: As expected!
He quickly used an entrenching tool to dig away the soil, revealing the asphalt road surface underneath.

The soil was only ten centimeters thick!

He squatted down, carefully examining the asphalt road surface beneath the soil, and laughed:

"Sure enough, this used to be a road, but it was buried by sand and then overgrown with vegetation, which is why you can't see anything about it!"

They dug a couple of times with their legs and dug out an asphalt road surface next to it.

He couldn't help but wonder:

"Brother Chen, the soil here is way too thick! Even though several years have passed, it's a bit much to have such a thick layer of soil covering an asphalt road!"

Chen Delong straightened up and explained:

"It's probably because there are mountains on both sides, which can cause mudslides. Plus, there's a river nearby, so when the floodwaters rise, the soil is washed away and deposited here."

He looked at Wen Jianshe, "Do you still remember how to get there?"

At this moment, he began to trust Wen Jianshe.

Wen Jianshe stood still, looked around, and then walked to the riverbank, carefully examining the area to the north.

The mountain on the north right side looks somewhat like a question mark.

“Found it, this is it. The trees will change, but the direction of the mountain range will not change.”

He pointed north and said, "Go north along this road for about 2 kilometers, then go west for about 300 meters, and you should be able to find the entrance."

He tried hard to recall the route he had taken.

Chen Delong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say and head north."

They didn't go back to the helicopter, since they weren't far away anyway.

Moreover, the view from the air is completely different from what you see from the ground.

In order to help Wen Jianshe recall the exact location, they walked on the ground.

just
The road was overgrown with weeds and trees.

Because the soil is not thick enough, these trees generally grow to be quite short.

An Sheng walked at the front, using an entrenching tool to clear a path through the weeds.

Chen Delong followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, the group...

Suddenly, Chen Delong heard a gasp from behind him.

"Grass!"

Chen Delong quickly drew his pistol from his waist, holding an entrenching tool in one hand and the pistol in the other, and looked behind him.

All that could be seen was a black and white snake, about the thickness of two thumbs, standing on its legs.

The snake flicked its tongue, about to bite Chen Delong!
clap clap!

Wen Jianshe, holding an entrenching tool, slapped the snake's head without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he held the entrenching tool upright and forcefully stabbed it into the snake's head.

The entrenching tool was driven into the hard soil, and the snake's head was also driven in.

The snake thrashed its long body with all its might.

At this moment, the man with the legs also realized what was happening and, holding an entrenching tool, thrust it towards the snake's vital spot.

The black and white snake was pierced in two.

Wen Jianshe pulled out his entrenching tool, which also brought out the snake's head.

The snake's head has separated from its body.

A snake was divided into three parts.

"Thanks," said the leg to Wen Jianshe, who had a calm expression.

Wen Jianshe shook his head and said:

"fine."

He looked up at Chen Delong and said:
"Captain Chen, I remember now. When we were building this place, we discovered a snake den. There were a lot of snakes, especially during the summer and autumn flood season."

Moreover, many snakes are venomous.

“This one is poisonous too,” he said, pointing to the black and white snake that had been killed.

Chen Delong gripped the entrenching tool in his hand tightly; he hated snakes more than anything in his life.

"Hmm," he said to the crowd.

"Everyone, be careful."

After this little incident, no one dared to slack off and continued to move forward.

Every now and then, they would dig up the soil to check if there was any asphalt underneath.

Two kilometers.

It was all weeds, with flying insects everywhere, and tiny bugs crawling all over you.

Suddenly, I got bitten and developed several welts.

They walked for almost an hour.

"Should we continue forward?" Chen Delong asked, taking off his tactical helmet and wiping the sweat from his forehead and face.

Wen Jianshe carefully recalled and determined the coordinates based on the direction of the surrounding mountains.

"It's roughly around here, turn left."

An Sheng looked to the left
On the left were withered, yellow trees, with dense vines intertwined between them, and beneath the vines lay a thick layer of fallen leaves and weeds.

"No, are you sure there's a road here?" An Sheng asked with some doubt.

"Confirmed!" Wen Jianshe looked at the few white pines over there, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"right here!"

"It's rare to find a white pine tree that thick. You can find one right here, I'm sure of it!"

Chen Delong looked in that direction, and the fallen leaves under the trees there were probably as deep as a person.

The vines intertwined among the trees, forming a net-like structure.

It will be quite difficult for them to get there.
