Chapter 197: Forest outpost

Views:

The area of Leiyin Temple is not small, but the temple gate is mottled, the wall is low, and even collapsed for many sections. It is much older than the Golden Ship Temple.

There was still more than ten meters away from the temple gate, and a zombie walked out of the woods nearby.

I grabbed two steps and killed the zombie with a hunting knife, and found a work card hanging on its chest. When I looked at the company address, it turned out to be Yuncheng thousands of miles away.

The soles of the zombie's feet have long worn through, and only the uppers are left. It came here in a muddled manner, almost crossing the entire silk country.

Sophia said: "It's walking thousands of miles."

I grinned openly, amidst the laughter, there was a trace of desolation.

With a squeak, Sophia opened the door of the temple, and the two walked into Leiyin Temple. In the courtyard, withered vines, old trees, weeds and grass, the side hall was ragged, and only the main hall had a few statues of gods.

There is a crow's nest on the old tree in the yard, and the young birds can be heard crying tenderly.

Several Buddha statues were dusty, and the environment was so quiet that it made people feel cold. Sophia thought that she couldn't bear the heart-wrenching atmosphere, so she deliberately amplified the relaxation and happiness, and said:

"Go to the backyard and have a look. It's deserted. Maybe there are sheep and wild boars making their homes here. If we hit one, there will be meat to eat."

Unexpectedly what she said, we had just arrived at the moon gate in the backyard when a goat came out facing him. I was stunned and knocked down the goat with a crossbow.

Sophia was overjoyed, and the two returned to the main hall to break the altar table, and then grilled the lamb under the eyes of the Bodhisattva.

As for the Buddha, I dare to do anything without a Buddha in my heart.

The lamb rack was roasted brown on the fire, and the fat dripped on the charcoal fire, sizzling, and splashing small puffs of blue smoke.

Sophia cut off a piece with a knife, chewed twice, and exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "It's so delicious!"

We did not eat in the morning, and the two had a big meal. After the remaining lamb was roasted, we took it back to the helicopter and used it as dry food for the next two days.

The helicopter took off again. I drove a little easier than in the morning. After crossing many hills, the forest under my feet became more lush, dense and dense, extending for nearly a hundred kilometers.

In the center of the forest, a mountain rose from the ground, and Sophia suddenly pointed to the mountain top: "What's on it

"

The helicopter flew close, and I took a closer look. It turned out to be a forest fire post with a high observation tower and a barracks. What surprised Sofia and I most was that there was an apron dedicated to helicopters. .

I said: "This is already the center of Mang Mountain, with high hills and steep slopes, and no roads. A fire checkpoint was built here. If there is a fire, it can be found and extinguished immediately."

Sophia nodded: "Go down and take a look?"

I controlled the helicopter and landed on the tarmac of the outpost. After getting off the plane, I saw the three-story barracks.

On the first floor are the hangar and oil depot. The hangar is empty and there are no planes.

There are hundreds of half-person-high oil barrels in the oil depot. They are all full when they are shaken by hand. Now we don’t have to go back and forth in vain and go back to the gas station to refuel.

Sophia jumped off the plane, and the two walked up to the second floor step by step.

There are a total of three big houses on the second floor. Open the door and check them one by one. The first two rooms are filled with individual rations, and the last one is the crossbow arrow storehouse.

The main task of the forest outpost is to prevent hill fires, so weapons and crossbows are very few. There are only four automatic sun-shooting crossbows, two Houyi-shooting sun crossbows, and two piercing crossbows. The sum of the crossbow arrows that shoot the sun and pierce the Yang crossbow is less than two hundred rounds.

I did not expect that this post in the middle of the Mang Mountain had not been discovered, and excitedly said to Sophia: "Now we have a secret stronghold!"

Sophia said: "It's a pity that the outpost is not accessible by road, or the off-road vehicle should be brought over."

I said: "The off-road vehicle is well hidden. No one will find it. Go and take a look on the third floor."

When the two came to the third floor, they saw a row of six houses along the corridor. The first one was a duty room. Inside, there were two old-fashioned hand-cranked phones, an intercom, and a TV and DVD player.

There was a stack of DVDs on the DVD player. I picked up one and looked at it and said, "The DVD player is out of date. I didn't expect that the forest fire checkpoint is still in use."

Suddenly, Sophia gave an "Ah", pointed to the power socket, and said with surprise and joy: "There is electricity! You see that the little red light is on!"

I was taken aback, and then I thought that there was a wind generator on the roof of the barracks, and electricity should come from it.

I saw that when the helicopter hadn’t landed, the wind turbine

It is more than three meters high, and the diameter of the fan blades is about two meters. It should not provide much electricity, but when there is wind, you can definitely watch TV.

I turned on the TV and the screen was lit up.

We continue to check the remaining five rooms. These five rooms are all dormitories. There are one-person rooms and two-person rooms, with a total of ten beds. It seems that there are only ten taxis stationed at the outpost.

I was a little lamented that living in the green mountains and green waters for a short period of time can still be fresh, but ten soldiers stationed for many years, life must be depressing.

In the last room, there were two zombies trapped. After I opened the door and found them, I dug a hole in the open space behind the building and buried it.

The top of the mountain is also open, full of green pines that can only be hugged by three or four people.

Sophia and I went up to the top of the observation tower, overlooking the vast forest sea, the clouds were steaming Xiawei, and our mood suddenly improved.

The green pine is above the barracks, only two to three meters lower than the watchtower. The entire post is surrounded by pine forests, which is probably the reason why it has not been discovered so far.

In such inconvenient outposts, the security personnel must be self-sufficient in their usual vegetables and fruits, otherwise the cost of driving a helicopter out to purchase would be too high.

There is a large vegetable plot on the left side of the barracks. If you look carefully, you can find a stubble among the weeds, and you can eat "lazy dishes" for several years.

The so-called "lazy vegetable" refers to vegetables that are simple to plant, do not care about the environment, and have low requirements for soil fertility. They can be planted casually and can be picked and eaten without spending energy.

This type of vegetable often only needs to be planted, or it can be harvested multiple times after planting one stubble.

You can find bracken, leeks, water spinach, day lily, pumpkin, etc. in the vegetable field. There are several toon trees beside the vegetable field. As soon as they sprout in spring, they can be picked for soup or scrambled eggs.

I smiled and said, "This is really a paradise."

Sophia asked: "What is Xanadu?"

I thought about it and replied: "It is equivalent to the Garden of Eden in your Bible."

Sophia smiled and said, "Then you are Adam?"

I said, "Unfortunately there is no apple tree on the top of the mountain."

This sentence is a bit ambiguous, because everyone knows that Adam and Eve only became adults after eating apples. Sophia smiled: "Let's go down and pick vegetables."
