The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1164 Not enough fuel? Use dragging to make up for it.

"Alright! Stop bragging. I hereby announce that the environmental improvement plan is officially launched, with Zhou Haotian and Chang Qingsheng in charge. A feasible plan must be submitted to Yu Wen by tomorrow at the latest, and construction will begin after approval!"

Zhang Su felt there was nothing wrong with the way the heating was delivered, so he immediately made the final decision.

"Well."

"yeah!"

Chang Qingsheng gave a lukewarm response, while Zhou Haotian made a peace sign.

"This is a huge project that will benefit the entire camp. Whether we can turn this place into a paradise depends on the two of you!"

Zhang Su patted the two on the shoulder. In this freezing weather, neither agriculture nor industry can develop. We also have to consume a lot of energy to keep warm. We don't need to ask for too much. If we can raise the ambient temperature to above zero degrees, we can achieve a qualitative leap!

"ensure……"

"Brother Su, news from watchtower number twenty-two: Xiao Shuai and the others are back!"

Just as the task was being assigned in a lively manner, Zhong Xiaoshan's voice came through Zhang Su's walkie-talkie.

Number 22 is the number of the outer sentry post. There are a total of 24 sentry posts around Tianma Island, starting from number 1 in the due north direction and then arranged clockwise. The position of number 22 is in the northwest direction of the camp, near Niujuanzi Town.

"Okay, I see."

After responding, Zhang Su said goodbye to everyone and left the greenhouse. He had more to do than just change the environment.

Standing on the mountain, you can see faint lights flickering in the northwest direction in the distance, and cars flash by one after another.

“What a good harvest!”

A moment later, the transport vehicle slowly went up the mountain. Zhang Su stood at the mountain gate. When the first vehicle turned the corner, he saw Qi Xiaoshuai sitting in the passenger seat with a smug look on his face, swaying his head back and forth, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Congratulations, Captain Qi, on your successful return!"

"Hey, that...no, no, Brother Su? You're back? Lao Meng, stop the car!"

Qi Xiaoshuai was just about to show off when he heard something was wrong. He peeked out and saw that it was the camp leader. He quickly told Meng Changwei to stop the car.

"Good afternoon, Brother Su!"

Meng Changwei leaned out to greet him, and then the people in the vehicles behind him quickly greeted their leader as well. Even the cars that hadn't yet turned the corner started to make noise.

"I'm back as soon as I'm done. Don't park in front of the parking lot, it's empty. Come on, over here!"

Zhang Su personally took on the role of guide.

Meng Changwei gave a strange smile, stepped on the gas, and drove the car into the mountain gate.

"Brother Su, we don't have time to rest. There's still a lot of weapons and equipment at the armory that we haven't brought back yet. We'll have to make at least one more trip. Also, let me tell you, that armory..."

Before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Qi Xiaoshuai jumped out as he passed Zhang Su and quickly reported the situation, describing the contents of the armory with great enthusiasm, sometimes using gestures and sometimes pointing to the tanks for comparison.

"Tracked infantry fighting vehicles, several models of self-propelled howitzers... and various anti-aircraft guns and howitzers? This armory has such a rich stockpile?"

After hearing Qi Xiaoshuai's words, Zhang Su was filled with disbelief. He thought that having some firearms and ordinary combat equipment would be enough, at most some rocket launchers, grenades, tank mines and the like!
We didn't ask for anything else, just enough ammunition, but the situation far exceeded our expectations!
"Hey, Uncle! Uncle Meng said that the armory is really high-level, probably one of the top in Hebei Province. Haha, we've really struck gold this time!"

Pang Dakun suddenly appeared out of some car and sneakily approached Zhang Su and Qi Xiaoshuai.

"The information provided by Zhao Linfeng is of high quality. Of course, your contributions are also significant. We need to make another trip."

Zhang Su confirmed the situation.

“Those tracked vehicles and such are out of fuel. We need to transport a batch of fuel over there, and then send people to drive those vehicles back. If we want to get it done in one trip, we need to mobilize people who can drive those tanks to work together.”

Qi Xiaoshuai ran his two fingers back and forth excitedly. "Uncle, I took a look, and it doesn't seem too difficult to drive. I can get the hang of it after a little practice!"

Pang Dakun believes that regardless of whether it is an infantry fighting vehicle or a self-propelled howitzer, it is still a type of vehicle, and there is no difference between a vehicle and a car.

"No, no, don't think of things so simply. We have people in our camp who know how to do it, and Wu Daqiang definitely does. As for more than twenty vehicles... let's wait until tomorrow. Let Wu Daqiang and his brothers from the military teach them. We'll follow Xiaoshuai's plan and get the other weapons back today so we're all set!"

Zhang Su originally wanted to temporarily reassign personnel, but several teams were currently on missions elsewhere, and it would be too troublesome to transfer them back and forth, so he didn't mind making an extra trip.

"Brother Su, ignore this guy, he just wants to drive a tank for fun!"

Qi Xiaoshuai ruthlessly exposed Pang Dakun's idea from the side.

"No, I just... everyone wants it, don't you?"

Pang Dakun was completely dumbfounded, staring at Qi Xiaoshuai with a frustrated look.

"Fine, fine, go ahead and learn if you want, it's no big deal. But if you cause any trouble for me, I'll hold you accountable!"

"I guarantee nothing will happen. Hey, I'm not Uncle Pillar."

Pang Dakun gave a strange salute and also made a sarcastic remark about "Car God" Zhao Dezhu.

"Stop arguing and get on with unloading!"

Unloading was a difficult task. Wang Guangjun transferred more than 20 people from the miscellaneous affairs group, and Wang Longzhong transferred more than 20 people from the miscellaneous affairs group. Together with the original personnel who transported the munitions, 70 or 80 people completed the unloading in a very short time!
While unloading the truck, another group of people were busy preparing fuel.

The ample diesel reserves, sufficient for special vehicles used in the camp, become immediately insufficient for use in armored vehicles...

"Brother Su, not enough oil!"

Zhong Xiaoshan reported the news to Zhang Su with great embarrassment.

"I remember we brought back quite a lot from gas stations in several towns a while ago, isn't that enough?"

Zhang Su had long since stopped caring about those trivial matters; he only knew that his usual skills were always plentiful, and he was somewhat surprised that he couldn't get enough of it.

Zhong Xiaoshan sighed and said with a wry smile, "The diesel fuel is enough for the special vehicles in our camp, but it's a bit short to support more than twenty steel behemoths traveling nearly a hundred kilometers."

Because some chariots planned to go directly to Qincheng Port, the distance was a bit far.

"Diesel production... never mind, let's not look into that for now. Is the shortage significant?"

Now, the camp has plenty of gasoline thanks to the replenishment from oil tankers at the port, but diesel has always been a major problem.

“I’ve spoken with Meng Changwei about the situation. The total demand is about 4,000 liters, but the camp only has a little over 2,000 liters in stock right now, and we also need to reserve some for special vehicles.”

Zhong Xiaoshan shrugged.

"This matter...right, don't we have plenty of gasoline?"

"There's plenty of gasoline, but I asked Qingqing, and she said it can't be mixed into diesel..."

Zhong Xiaoshan had already considered this method. Not to mention now, even in the past it would have been difficult to switch from gasoline to diesel. It was a very uneconomical technology that would cause huge losses!
"What do you mean by converting it to diesel? It's not that complicated! Since we have plenty of gasoline, let's use the simplest method: tow those tanks back like we tow an aircraft carrier!"

As long as there is no mechanical damage, towing a tank is not too difficult, especially those self-propelled howitzers with wheels. If you inflate them fully, they will definitely run quite fast.

As long as someone is inside the vehicle controlling the direction and brakes, everything else is fine.

Zhong Xiaoshan blinked her big eyes and laughed, "That's really the simplest way to do things. Okay, let's save money to the end. We'll bring all the tanks back by towing, and keep the diesel fuel for emergencies."
