I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 892 Mine Passage

After leaving the mine, the first thing Qin Zhong did was to have someone build a steel coffin and lock the zombie tightly in it.

In this way, no matter how strange the zombie's super powers are, it is impossible for it to escape from the coffin out of thin air.

Of course, in order to prevent its long tongue from causing trouble, Qin Zhong cut off its long tongue with his own hands and tied it up like a mummy.

When Qin Zhong dealt with the M-type zombies, placed the coffin into the space ring, and returned to the mining area, everything had been basically tidied up.

Under Li Hailan's treatment, Zhou Luosen and the others had already recovered from their injuries. Afterwards, the entire mining area was relieved of their guard by the personnel brought by Qin Zhong, and began to enter a state of alert.

As soon as tomorrow morning comes, Qin Zhong will return to the gathering place in Anyuan County with the minerals collected from the mine.

Of course, along the way, he would also arrange for soldiers to set up multiple transfer points to prevent being harassed by zombies during transportation.

"Old Zhou, you've worked really hard this time."

Qin Zhong walked to Zhou Luosen's side and asked softly, "How are you? Does the wound still hurt?"

When Zhou Luosen was first found, his condition was not optimistic. Large areas of his chest muscles were torn. In the most serious area, one could even see his ribs and beating heart under the chest muscles.

However, after Li Hailan's treatment, his chest muscles have grown back and he seems to be fine.

"Haha, I'm lucky, I'm fine."

Hearing Qin Zhong's concerned words, Zhou Luosen smiled bitterly and said, "However, that guy was really powerful. If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest to block it, I would have been killed by it."

Speaking of that monster, its ability to teleport in the shadows, coupled with its indestructible claws, is truly terrifying.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, he will be captured alive."

Qin Zhong touched the interspatial ring on his finger and said with a smile, "When we get back, I'll hand this monster over to Hu Meng and ask her to study it carefully to find out why it can teleport in the dark. As long as we solve this mystery, even if we encounter this guy again in the future, we won't be so restricted."

"Yes, let Researcher Hu study this guy carefully."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Zhou Luosen nodded vigorously and said, "It's like watching a pig being slaughtered in the past, turning its stomach upside down."

When he said this, his expression was extremely ferocious. It seemed that the carnage caused by this zombie in the mining area made Zhou Luosen, who usually had a good temper, unable to hold back his anger.

“Doing research is different from killing pigs.”

Seeing Zhou Luosen gritting his teeth, Qin Zhong smiled slightly and said, "But don't worry, if it falls into the hands of researchers like Hu Meng, living will definitely be more painful than dying. Even I am afraid of the knife in the hands of researchers."

At this point, Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Old Zhou, you almost died here this time. Are you still willing to stay here? If not, come back with me tomorrow, and I'll have Wang Boshen arrange someone to replace you."

Hearing Qin Zhong's heartfelt words, Zhou Luosen's face showed gratitude. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, I was just a thief before the apocalypse. The superpowers I awakened are not powerful skills. I can't help you much if I go back. It's better for me to stay in the mining area and do something practical for you and the Tiangang Organization."

"Well, if you want to go back, just tell me anytime and I'll find someone to replace you."

Hearing Zhou Luosen's words, Qin Zhong nodded with satisfaction and warned: "However, since we are going to be stationed here for a long time, the defense here must be strengthened. What happened today must not happen again!"

Qin Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Well, tonight I'll have the soldiers connect high-voltage power grids on and above the wall. This way, ordinary zombies won't be able to get close."

"Will that consume too much electricity?"

When Zhou Luosen heard Qin Zhong's proposal, he first showed joy on his face, but soon his expression became gloomy.

Although he also understood that building an electric grid would make the mine area's defenses stronger, the amount of electricity consumed by such a huge grid would be astonishing.

After all, this is not the end of the world. For a gathering place, wasting electricity like this is an extremely luxurious thing.

"Don't worry, the base has restarted the nearby hydroelectric power station, so power is not a problem at the moment."

Hearing Zhou Luosen's concerns, Qin Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Your task now is to have a good rest. After I leave tomorrow, the rest will depend on you!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Zhou Luosen immediately stood up excitedly and saluted Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong then left Zhou Luosen. After returning to his room, he called in the accompanying engineers and ordered them to work overnight to complete the electric grid, defensive machine gun towers, and artillery turrets before he left.

This mining area is crucial to the future development of the Tiangang Organization. Qin Zhong must ensure its safety no matter what. If something like today happens again, this place will truly be abandoned.

……

The next morning, Qin Zhong left the mining area with the minerals and 1,500 soldiers.

As for the other 500 soldiers, he ordered them to follow Zhou Luosen and garrison in the mining area.

During this period, Zhou Luosen mined a lot of minerals. The total amount of several minerals filled thirty transport trucks.

Looking at the mountain of minerals on the truck, Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Although this batch of minerals couldn't fully meet the production needs of the settlement, it was enough to produce some of the most necessary facilities.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is that the mining transportation channel has been successfully opened. From now on, there will be a steady supply of minerals transported to the gathering place through the channel.

Only then will the entire Tiangang organization truly enter a period of rapid development.

It took everyone most of the day to travel from the gathering place to the mining area, but it took Qin Zhong and others a whole week to return from the mining area to the gathering place.

During this week, Qin Zhong led 1,500 soldiers to thoroughly clear the area within a five-mile radius of the transportation line, killing a large number of zombies and mutant beasts.

Then, Qin Zhong led his men to set up a large number of mines and traps around the transportation line. Once mutant beasts and zombies entered the mine area, these mines and traps would be triggered.

In this way, even if the intruder is powerful and can survive the explosion of traps and mines, the subsequent transport troops can see the traces of explosions and trap triggering, thus avoiding being attacked by the enemy.

After arranging all this, Qin Zhong ordered the soldiers to build a small watchtower every three kilometers.

These watchtowers are very tall, which not only allows the sentinels to have a good view, but also effectively defends against the invasion of mutant beasts and zombies.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After Qin Zhong leads his team to transport this batch of minerals back to the base, he will continue to arrange for the evolvers to lead the follow-up troops, relying on these watchtowers to build small military fortresses in the surrounding areas as strongholds.

After all, Qin Zhong didn't want the transportation route he had finally opened up to fall into the hands of zombies and mutant beasts again.
