The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1165 There's still one team that hasn't returned.

With the tank transport plan finalized, there was no need to transport fuel anymore. After all the weapons were unloaded, the convoy set off again.

Faced with a massive amount of weaponry, Yu Wen, Zhong Xiaoshan, and other officials immediately organized a team to take inventory. These were crucial supplies for maintaining the stability of the camp and preventing foreign invasion!

"Teacher Xiao, where are you busy?"

Zhang Su wanted to learn some things from Yu Qing.

"Brother Su, I'm in the warehouse next to Qingfeng Xiaozhu."

Yu Qing responded quickly, her voice muffled, likely due to wearing a thick mask.

Fu Weijun and others had an entire Cui Leng Xuan as a laboratory, while the place where Yu Qing tinkered with chemicals was rather shabby. There was a separate warehouse next to Qingfeng Xiaozhu, which was cleared out for her to use as a studio.

dong dong.

"Whoa, cough... what are we doing?"

He knocked twice, pushed the door open, and an indescribable smell instantly filled Zhang Su's nostrils, causing a slight burning sensation that made him uncomfortable.

A quick glance revealed three long-necked beakers placed side by side, two of which were emitting steam. The liquids inside the beakers were different colors: one was transparent, one was greenish, and one was whitish...

"Don't come in, don't come in... the smell is a bit pungent, let's talk outside."

Wearing a professional protective mask and goggles, Yu Qing waved to Zhang Su, dealt with the reacting chemicals, and went outside.

"call……"

Taking off her mask and breathing in some fresh air, Yu Qing asked, "Brother Su, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I have a question for you. Can the diesel fuel used on cargo ships be used in our land vehicles, such as heavy trucks and tanks?"

The surrounding gas stations don't have much diesel in stock. Based on the situation in this small area, we can infer that even if the entire Qincheng district were to go through a lot of trouble to empty its diesel reserves, there probably wouldn't be much left.

Naturally, the focus was placed on the cargo ship. According to McCrae and White, the aircraft carrier also had a certain amount of diesel fuel, but it seemed to be different from the diesel fuel used in special vehicles.

“Hmm…” Yu Qing thought for a moment and said, “You mean the cargo ships in Qincheng Port? Those cargo ships generally use light diesel oil, which is suitable for medium and high speed diesel engines.”

"Our camp's cranes and trucks all use heavy diesel fuel, which is suitable for low-speed diesel engines. Are you planning to bring back the light diesel fuel from the cargo ship for the camp's vehicles?"

"Yes! Is there any way?"

If this problem can be solved, the energy problem of those special vehicles in the camp will be solved!

“There are definitely ways, but they are all very difficult.” Yu Qing frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and muttered to herself, “Processing light diesel oil into heavy diesel oil involves a complicated process that requires precise control of pressure and temperature.”

It's definitely difficult with current technology, but if the requirements for the finished product aren't that high, and environmental factors aren't a concern, and all that's needed is usability, then I think it's worth a try.

"As long as there's hope, that's good. I'll have someone bring some back, and we'll see how it goes!"

Zhang Su was overjoyed to hear that he could try, as it proved that this path was viable.

"Actually... Brother Su, aren't there any smaller ships at the port or nearby docks? Only those 10,000-ton cargo ships use light diesel oil. Riverboats or some small boats basically use heavy diesel oil, which is no different from truck fuel."

"what?"

Zhang Su was stunned after hearing Yu Qing's words. If it was true, that would be wonderful.

"real."

Yu Qing nodded firmly.

"Hey, alright then, if that's the case, then the problem has been solved, and we don't need to go through the trouble of changing the weight from light to heavy anymore. Let's leave it at that for now, you get busy, Teacher Yu... Um, when you're working, wear extra layers of protection and take good care of yourself!"

Zhang Su smiled, waved his hand, turned and left, but didn't say one more thing: "Zhu Zi is still looking forward to having a baby. He's always dealing with chemicals, so he needs to be more careful!"
After leaving Yu Qing's studio, Zhang Su drafted a diesel fuel collection plan, which he handed over to Tan Huajun after she returned. This was part of the work of the external group of the materials department.

A day passed quickly, and as evening smoke rose, the teams that had gone out on missions returned to camp one after another. Qi Xiaoshuai's munitions transport team made another trip as planned, bringing back the easily transportable weapons, equipment, and ammunition. The immobile armored vehicles had to remain there.

The variety of firearms and combat equipment shocked even former soldiers like Wu Daqiang.

"The first batch of weapons and equipment alone is enough to equip the entire camp with more than one weapon each... and there is enough even better individual combat equipment to arm the three legions, not even counting those that come back later!"

Yu Wen handed over the work at the foot of the mountain to others, personally oversaw the inventory of the munitions, and reported the details to Zhang Su.

On the other side, the road leading from the mountain gate to the Martyrs' Park was brightly lit, and many people were counting the weapons they had brought back and putting them into storage.

Why not in the parking lot? Because the supplies returning from the port are taking up space...

"Not all members of the camp need to be armed, but the camp and port's defensive positions must be adequate."

In the afternoon, Zhang Su participated in the inventory of weapons. Although he did not personally handle them, he gained a fairly thorough understanding of them.

For some reason, when he saw those weapons, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered the scene from his dream.

He had his first strange dream. He looked down at the earth from the sky. A lonely city stood majestically, and countless zombies rushed towards the city. The sky was filled with the sounds of cannons, flames, and smoke.

"We have plenty of weapons and equipment. We'll start arranging for the transport of equipment to the port tomorrow, and at the same time, we'll have people set up the living quarters for the aircraft carrier. Qincheng Port will immediately transform into a military port fortress!"

Yu Wen was in charge of the progress. Since the leader had made the request, he naturally dared not neglect it. After he finished speaking passionately, why did the leader beside him not react at all and just stare blankly?
This was a rare occurrence. Yu Wen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his excitement instantly cooled. He cautiously inquired, "Mr. Zhang?"

"Ah, oh, yes, we'll ship the weapons to the port tomorrow. Hmm, where did Lu Zi and Xiao Xue go? How did their mission go today?"

Zhang Su wasn't really thinking about that; he was just using the two of them as an excuse.

"They went to the material warehouse to find something, and the progress is going very smoothly. I heard from Xiao Wu before that the communication setup could be completed within three days at the latest, and the call quality would be guaranteed."

Yu Wen reported the situation to Zhang Su.

"Ah, very good."

Zhang Su absentmindedly agreed, feeling that something was missing. Then he realized that Zheng Xinyu was not at the camp and the team that was clearing out the zombies had not returned yet!
"Old Yu, Xiao Shuai and the others have made two round trips already. How many people did Xiao Chen and the others take to the Haihe River to kill zombies? It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Five teams went out today, and they're the only ones who haven't come back yet. I'll go ask them."

Yu Wen took out a walkie-talkie. Communication between Tianma Island and Chuhai River was smooth, and he contacted the front line directly, receiving a reply quickly.

"Xiao Chen said their progress is a bit slow; they still need to kill a few thousand zombies to complete the mission objective..."

Zhang Su's task was to clear out 20,000 zombies every day.

"A few thousand head short? I guess they didn't calculate the number properly on the first day. Let them come back first; this isn't a task that can be completed in one day."

We no longer feel the sunrise and sunset, but everyone is still living according to the old schedule. Unless there are extremely special and unavoidable circumstances, we will not extend the time we spend on missions outside. Safety is the priority!

"okay……"

"Mr. Zhang, do you have some time?"

Seeing that Zhang Su and Yu Wen's conversation had come to an end, the old blacksmith Ding Yongguo came to their side.

"Old Ding, hmm? Hey... all done?"

Zhang Su turned his head and saw Ding Yongguo holding a bright silver long-handled bone hammer in both hands; the crystal-clear femur was very distinctive.

"It's finished. It took longer than I expected. Maybe it's because I'm getting old. I feel tired after doing a little work. My old back is killing me."

Ding Yongguo handed the weapon to Zhang Su, bent his arm and rubbed his back, looking utterly exhausted.
