The twenty-fourth chapter unraveling the knot (3)

Facing the survivors, Wu Han was able to vent the secrets that he had been holding in his heart for a long time. When the words came to the ground, he felt that his mood suddenly became relaxed. Then, he took out the Sun Qing's work diary from his arms, turned to a page that he had specially folded, raised it to everyone to watch, and explained:

"Let's take a look. This is a sketch attached to Mr. Sun's work diary. I have been thinking about the meaning of the annotation on the picture. If we follow the dotted line above, there should be a tunnel directly to the Nanfeng Cave at our feet, but the specific entrance is not very clear. We will have to work hard in the next few days. We must carefully check every corner carefully and find this entrance."

After hearing Wu Han's words, the survivors looked at each other, and no one said anything for a long time. Obviously, everyone was worried about the future. This suggestion was a major issue of life and death. Zhou Chen looked around and saw that no one had to make a clear point, so he had to stand up and spoke up first, questioning:

"Wu Han, with such heavy snow, even if we find the tunnel to go south, we will never be able to go outdoors. If we can't get out, how can we take care of the wind power station?"

It is naturally impossible to spend Wu Han's energy and time in a day when measuring and recording weather change data apart. He spent all this spare time studying countermeasures. Wu Han carefully read the working diary left by Sun Qing, and was absolutely familiar with the data. After this suggestion was put forward, Wu Han did not unexpectedly question his statement. These reactions were already expected. Wu Han replied confidently:

"When encountering such a ghost weather, no one can do anything about it. We can only leave the wind power station to fate. However, you have forgotten one very important thing. The oil depot of the gas station is also in Nanfeng. If the fuel in the oil depot is used to generate electricity, it will take a few years."

How to protect wind power plants is undoubtedly an unsolvable problem comparable to the ultimate mystery of the universe. It is said that a group of survivors composed of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are difficult to accomplish this feat. Even if a well-trained professional construction team was brought before the war, and then the guys who were taking them to dinner, facing the cruel environment test of the nuclear winter, now it is impossible to say that they can only leave it to fate. I think that such a non-funny joke that people can conquer nature may be more appropriate to keep it on the tombstone.

After repeatedly weighing the information at hand, Wu Han decided to put his hope on this illusory legend, which was a helpless move.

The cave on the north peak of the Taohuayuan Scenic Area was selected as the location of the greenhouse for planting and breeding due to the dual considerations of natural lighting conditions and water sources. The caves on the grounds of the wind power station, the oil depots of the gas station, and some other ancillary facilities, including the spare parts warehouse of the wind power station, the oil depot of the gas station, and the debris warehouse, are all placed in the Nanfeng Cave with a higher terrain. Now the snow thickness outside can be buried with two floors. Not to mention creatures with a weight similar to humans, even if they throw a rabbit out, they will have to fall into the bottom of the snow and cannot extricate themselves.

Although snow is a problem, the biting cold wind will kill people even more. When the wind is at its lowest, it hoveres around level 7. Wu Han saw with his own eyes that the giant trees embraced by frost and snow on the mountains around the Peach Blossom Land were destroyed by strong winds. In the nuclear war, it is unknown whether there will be any damage to the wind power station, and it will only test the character of the survivors.

Wu Han understood that it was impossible to cross thousands of meters from the ground to reach the Nanfeng, so he decided to find the entrance to the tunnel. This is the only feasible solution at the moment. It is not that he did not understand that the basis of this plan was unreliable, but this was the last straw to save lives. He could only treat the dead horse as a living horse.

“…I agree.”

After thinking for a long time, when Zhou Chen was convinced that there was no better choice at the moment, she nodded cautiously and expressed her attitude of agreement. Seeing that the two most influential people in the group had reached a consensus, the others certainly had nothing to object to at this time. Then, Wu Han's seemingly fantasy suggestion was easily approved by the survivors.

"I know it's hard to move. I'm afraid everyone's health has not fully recovered. Please have a good rest tonight. We'll search for caves from tomorrow. Who has any questions?"

Originally, Wu Han just asked casually, but he didn't think anyone would have different opinions, but someone really spoke. The old monk Lekong, who had been meditating in the corner, stood up tremblingly, chanted the Buddha's name, and said:

"Amitabha, I also want to do something."

Looking at the old monk Likong with laughter and crying, his face full of wrinkles like terraces, Wu Han persuaded and explained helplessly:

"Master Lekong, you are so old, so you can avoid this kind of strength!"

"Amitabha, how can I stand by the way of covering my nest? How can I stand by and watch such a big deal?"

After carefully considering the reason for participating proposed by the old monk, Wu Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said:

"...Okay! You are always responsible for our current cave. After everyone has dinner, go back to rest early, and tomorrow's work will probably be very tiring."

"Dingding...dangdang..."

The crisp sound of metal hitting the rocks echoed one after another in the cave. This is a big deal, and the survivors, whether men, women, old or young, went into battle together. Each of them had a hammer or wrench, and then they carefully tapped along the walls and ground, and did not dare to miss an inch of it. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, aimlessly looking for the legendary entrance to the underground tunnel. It must be admitted that this work is not only boring, but also no hope of success. Shortly after the plan began, many people felt fatigue, and this kind of exhaustion from the spiritual level was not easily resisted.

As professional white-collar workers, the beauties in the public relations department have never been engaged in such physical work. Chen Sisi, who was in the same group as the heroic beauty Lu Xiaoya the day before yesterday, worked for more than an hour and was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist. Looking at Sun Meng not far away, she couldn't help but complain:

"Oh! I can't find it, Mengmeng, is your father wrong?"

The work diary left by Sun Qing was kept most of the time in Wu Han. Sun Meng just glanced at her father's relics when she was sorting out her father's relics. How many more could she know about the inside story than others? After a moment of silence, Sun Meng said with a sad expression:

"I have no idea."

Chen Sisi seemed to want to say something, but suddenly she screamed in shock. It turned out that the soft flesh on her waist was secretly twisted by Lu Xiaoya's movement beside her. Then, Chen Sisi heard the harsh lesson of Lu Xiaoya's lowering voice and said:

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you agree with that guy's opinion yesterday? Besides, why are you talking about Mengmeng's father? You're going to die!"
