"Hehe, I heard from Haoran that day. He saw Zhou Weiguo go out and give sothing to Shen Xiaoxiao."
Dapao had a gossiping expression on his face.
His face was full of mischievous amusent.
Li Tie laughed and said, "What’s the big deal? Everyone has their own taste, Shen Xiaoxiao seems to match Zhou Weiguo’s temperant well. As long as Zhou Weiguo likes it, what’s with the expression?"
Dapao, upon hearing this, gradually let the teasing expression on his face fade.
He said, sowhat unusually, "Yeah, it’s quite good. Being able to find soone you like in Doomsday is indeed very lucky."
Li Tie didn’t catch the aning behind his words.
Instead, he continued to control the giant loader.
Dapao carried his gun, looking around, staying alert.
Now all the outposts outside the base are unmanned, the typhoon just passed, and we still don’t know what the situation is outside.
....
Within the Big Camphor Tree Base.
In the Mountain Pond between two mountains.
At this mont, Song Min and Li Gang, along with others, were here, and Lai Dongsheng was slowly driving the excavator to the bottom of the ditch.
Then, using the excavator’s shovel, he slowly dug into the black soil inside.
These soils contained burnt wood chips, becoming blackened now.
They seed quite fertile.
The silt was very thick, and as they shoveled, they turned over and dug up the black soil and piled it aside.
This silt had settled at the bottom for years, and all the fish and shrimp feces had accumulated here.
Over decades, it had beco extrely fertile.
Since it was to be sealed with cent below, burying this soil underneath seed wasteful.
So they simply dug up the soil and planned to transport it to the greenhouse later, which would benefit the crops’ growth.
A single loader was slow, so Li Gang sent over more people. The people were those who previously followed Old Lv; they weren’t good at operating it, only assisting with loading the soil onto trucks.
In the end, Li Yu’s Uncle Zhang Qinchao claid he could operate it, and indeed took over, proving he knew his stuff.
Later, Deng Ben also ca over, saying he could operate the excavator too.
Thus, with three excavators at work, the digging progressed much faster.
While digging, they broke up the mud as much as possible.
The mud, baked through the night, had beco brittle.
It shattered easily when struck.
The reason for breaking it up was that the loader could shovel large pieces, potentially housing zombies inside.
The minutes ticked by.
They finally loaded six or seven trucks full of fertile soil.
They had finally cleaned the bottom of the Mountain Pond ditch.
The ditch bottom of the Mountain Pond was dug one and a half ters deep.
At a depth of one and a half ters, there couldn’t possibly be any zombies down there.
Zombies wouldn’t burrow into the earth, getting trapped in the mud was likely.
Li Gang looked at the ditch bottom and said to Deng Ben and Lai Dongsheng, "Since we’ll be laying cent over it later, we might as well flatten the ditch bottom, uneven surfaces will be difficult to work on."
Deng Ben and the others agreed it made sense.
Zhang Qinchao opened the excavator’s window and said to Li Gang, "Since we still have ti, if we’re going to cent the entire Mountain Pond, we might as well repair its walls too. Try to smooth them out."
Li Gang thought what Zhang Qinchao said made sense.
Looking at the increasingly steep slope, Li Gang suddenly had an idea: why not build so steps?
It would make things more convenient.
Then, he took the walkie-talkie to contact Li Yu and shared his idea with him.
Li Yu, upon hearing the suggestion, found it interesting.
With steps, it would be easier to inspect and repair the dam.
Reservoirs usually have sothing like this.
It seed they were indeed going to build more like a reservoir.
In the future, it couldn’t be called a Mountain Pond but renad a reservoir.
So he let Li Gang proceed with the project according to this direction and execute it as per reservoir standards.
Li Gang was delighted to receive Li Yu’s approval.
Then he shouted to Zhang Qinchao, "Uncle, Big Brother said it’s okay, we’ll work according to the reservoir standard."
"Reservoir standards, haha, it’s feasible." Zhang Qinchao laughed and operated the excavator to work on the Mountain Pond walls.
Other excavator operators Deng Ben and Lai Dongsheng also heard, so they started smoothing and repairing.
During this ti, they stopped several tis. Everyone discussed more rational plans.
Since Li Yu let them work boldly and creatively, as they progressed, interesting ideas often erged, leading to discussions.
Everyone unanimously agreed, so they proceeded accordingly.
Unknowingly, what was originally just zombie digging and cent floor and wall smoothing.
Gradually turned into a rather large project.
They ca up with many ideas, like creating a small platform in the center of the Mountain Pond, like having a permanently floating boat in the middle.
And so forth, several such ideas erged.
This Mountain Pond, originally only twenty ters deep with a radius of a few dozen ters, with a total area of less than ten acres, was undergoing expansion.
Expanding to one and a half tis its original size.
With the help of excavators, the project wasn’t too large.
This Mountain Pond was dug during tough years, when they used hoes, one hoe at a ti.
