The wall on one side of the cliff is a hundred ters away from the cliff.
Although the distance in between is only a hundred ters, there are so trees. However, due to the natural disaster, most of the trees here have died, leaving only a row of relatively sturdy trees.
The afternoon sunlight carries warmth.
A gentle breeze blows, dislodging the pine needles from the pine trees, making a rustling sound as they fall.
These sturdy pine trees have withstood harsh cold and intense heat, digging their roots deep into the ground.
At noon, the temperature reached over ten degrees, making it feel like winter had passed.
The warmth of the sun shone on people's bodies, and the gentle breeze made it feel very comfortable.
On the wall, Song Qi and Shang Xue'er saw Li Yu and the others getting off the vehicle. They waved their hands and shouted to Li Yu and the others, "Director Li, what are you going to do?"
Li Yu shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand, looked up at the two on the wall, and said, "We're going to repair the sewer. You watch from up there and alert us if you see any zombies."
"Alright, but be careful!" Shang Xue'er shouted.
Li Yu waved his hand, indicating he understood.
Then, he and Lao Xie, along with a few others, carried ropes and walked toward the cliff.
Due to the trees ahead, the pickup truck couldn't reach the cliff directly, so they had to walk a bit further.
Carrying guns and spears, they quickly reached the cliff after passing through the row of pine trees.
Lao Xie carefully stood at the edge of the cliff, estimated the position, and then lowered the rope.
Wang Cheng pulled the rope and tied it to a large rock about six or seven ters from the cliff.
The rope fell down.
Li Yu took out the walkie-talkie and said to the two in the sewer, "Old Lv, the rope is lowered. Can you see it?"
Old Lv leaned against the iron railing and saw the rope hanging three ters away. He responded via the walkie-talkie, "Pull it three ters to the right; the current position is incorrect, and we can't reach it!"
Hearing this, Li Yu said to Lao Xie, "Pull it three ters to the right; it's not aligned with the position below."
"Alright." Lao Xie pulled the rope over to the right.
"Yes, yes, yes, stop." Below, Old Lv saw the rope floating past the iron railing and quickly reached out to grab it.
Li Yu promptly told Lao Xie to stop.
Old Lv took the rope, tied it to the iron railing securely, and then stepped back, saying to Xu Zhen, "Okay, Old Xu, cut this iron railing so they can pull it up."
Xu Zhen took a cutting machine and began cutting.
Tut tut tut—
The sound of cutting was sharp and loud.
Lao Xie, hearing the cutting sound from below, imdiately slackened the rope to avoid being pulled down by the falling railing.
After ten minutes of cutting, Xu Zhen finally cut through the welded steel plates on both sides of the iron railing.
But when he pulled the railing, it didn't fall downward.
He turned his head and said to Old Lv, "Old Lv, remind them that we've cut the railing and to be ready to catch it from above!"
Old Lv imdiately took out the walkie-talkie.
Upon receiving their ssage, Lao Xie and Wang Cheng stood beside the large rock.
"Alright. Push it down." Li Yu communicated with the two below via the walkie-talkie.
Then, Xu Zhen forcefully pushed the iron railing outwards.
Clang!
The iron railing fell towards the cliff but was quickly halted by the rope it was tied to.
It collided with the cliff.
Seeing the rope quickly tense, Lao Xie and the others at the cliff edge cautiously approached.
Four or five people grasped the rope and pulled hard upward.
The iron railing was sowhat heavy, but fortunately not too tall, otherwise, it would have been troubleso to hoist it up.
A few minutes later, Li Yu glanced at the row of pine trees behind them and said, "Later, let's cut down those pines and drive the truck over to haul it up. Otherwise, it's too laborious. Xiao Hang's newly made iron railing is probably heavier; just relying on us won't do."
Lao Xie wiped his sweat and nodded forcefully, saying, "Sure, we have a chainsaw in the truck. I'll cut them now."
Lao Xie called on two people and walked towards the pickup truck.
Just a few dozen ters away, Li Yu and the others sat on the large rock, smoking and watching Lao Xie and his team drive the truck to the pine trees and cut down the ones in the middle.
With the middle pines cut down, the field of vision beca much wider.
Lao Xie and two others drove the truck over.
When they arrived, everyone worked together to load the iron railing onto the truck.
Then, they used the sa thod to lift the iron railings from the other drainage outlets.
Old Lv and Xu Zhen, down in the sewer, directed people inside the city to bring the cleaning equipnt down, and they began clearing the silt and debris inside the sewer.
Xu Zhen climbed out of the sewer, handed the photos and videos he had just taken to Li Hang, and gave the detailed asurents of the iron railing so that Li Hang could fabricate according to these asurents.
When Xu Zhen and the others climbed out of the sewer, Li Yu and the others also drove the pickup truck back to the inner city from outside the wall.
After receiving the asurents and video photos from Xu Zhen, Li Hang imdiately rushed to the small factory in the Second Outer City.
At this ti, Li Yu got out of the truck and seeing only Xu Zhen, asked, "Where are Ding Jiu and Old Lv? Are they still down there?"
Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, they're still down there, using cleaning equipnt to clear the silt and mud."
"Hmm, okay." Li Yu nodded slightly.
