    "How are food and drinking water distributed?" Lin Chuan continued to ask.  "Distribution is based on head count every morning." "Control the quantity. We need to implement a rationing system based on the amount of labor. Those who are willing to contribute can eat more, and those who do not want to contribute will only have the most basic food and water." Everyone nodded.  , this is also the most basic principle that should be established. In fact, it should have been done this way long ago.  "Do you have paper and pen?" Lin Chuan asked.  "We have to draw a picture." "I'll do it." Jiang Ming walked out.  "Engineering drawing is the best course I have learned." Li Mingfeng held up a flashlight, and Jiang Ming drew the location of the underground fortifications and surrounding buildings on a box.  He couldn't remember some parts clearly, but everyone had been active here these days. With constant recall and additions, this drawing gradually became more complete.  "We have to dig to the Zhiyuan Building." Lin Chuan tried to remember that in order to eliminate the giant dog during the day, he had carefully observed the surrounding buildings.  "That place is closest to us, less than 20 meters away. It is surrounded by two office buildings, and behind it is the Jinjiang Community. By digging this road, we will have a lot more space for activities." "Will it be used?  The drainage pipe was dug and our place was flooded?" asked a middle-aged man.  He introduced himself as Deng Wei, the property director of Jinjiang Community.  ¡°When we dig, we have to pay attention to whether there is water seepage. We use the excavated construction waste to build a drainage ditch at the hole to divert the water to the sewer.¡± Another person said.  "Our area just completed the renovation of the drainage pipe network last year, so there should be no problem of water not being drained out." "Does anyone remember the direction of the pipes on this road?" Lin Chuan asked.  Many people have lived on this road for more than ten years. Although they cannot remember the exact location and depth, everyone's memories are corroborated and pieced together, and they have come up with a drawing that is generally guaranteed to be correct.  The final excavation route was to start from a position two meters away from the door and dig a slope of approximately fifteen meters vertically upwards to the north.  It is very likely that the cable trench and the outer wall of the sewer will be encountered in the middle. If it is arc-shaped, it is a sewer and needs to be bypassed from below. If it is square, it should be a cable trench, so open a channel and borrow cables.  Ditch forward to find a safe exit.  If you never hit these pipes - which is almost impossible - then dig all the way to the bottom of the Zhiyuan Building.  "If there are PVC pipes, they should be buried communication pipes or cable pipes. Gas pipes and water pipes are both steel pipes with a protective layer like asphalt on the outside." A man said.  He is an old merchant on this street. According to him, he has been watching this road being dug over and over again, and he has become very familiar with it.  Lin Chuan decided to start work immediately, and Lu Guangping brought the best tools he could find - two sets of electric drills, nine hammers of different sizes, fifty-seven all-steel crowbars, five small hacksaws and  Hundreds of saw blades and two pairs of destruction pliers.  "Because many shops and houses had to be pried open, I found a lot of these things, but I didn't think about getting other tools. I never thought that tools for breaking walls would be used." Lu Guangping said with some annoyance.  "This is much better than I thought!" Lin Chuan was very happy.  "I thought I really had to dig bit by bit with my hands." Wang Qinian consciously started another generator, connected a power supply, and got a few lights to illuminate the construction area brightly. It was no longer fuel-efficient.  It's time.  A hardware store owner and an installer from a lighting store began drilling holes in the painted area with an electric drill. Several young adults were waiting nearby with crowbars and destruction pliers.  An electric drill can only create as many openings as possible in a concrete wall. Such fortifications must have a dense network of steel bars in the concrete, and the real work must be done with hammers and crowbars.  Everyone was staring at the opening painted on the wall. ? One meter high and sixty centimeters wide, just enough for a person to walk bent over.  The electric drill drilled holes along the white lines drawn, making a harsh noise.  After each few holes were drilled, they stepped aside to let the drill bits cool while men with crowbars hammered away at a chunk of concrete where the holes had been made.  Dust is everywhere.  But no one complained, because that was where all of them had hope of survival.  But their enthusiasm gradually faded. Half an hour later, they only dug a hole the size of a TV set in the wall. It was no more than ten centimeters deep. Dense steel bars were exposed behind it, which looked desperate.  Lin Chuan saw that this was not the solution, so he divided all the people who were willing to work into ten groups, leaving only two groups of people at each time to work on the construction, and letting those who did not take their turn go to sleep.    "Every energy must be used to dig holes! This way we can survive." He said to those who said they could not sleep.  "There are others, even if you can't help, please try your best to rest and reduce the consumption of food and water." Maybe some people are dissatisfied with his policies, but under the eager desire of most people to survive, no one comes out  against his orders.  "You go to sleep too." Li Mingfeng said.  He led a group of people specifically responsible for safety and maintaining order, and did not participate in the construction.  "I can't sleep, so I can think about what you said." ****** It was just dawn when Lin Chuan woke up. He raised his head and found that the hole had been dug completely. It looked very deep, but  This also means that the working surface becomes smaller and less efficient.  "How is the situation?" He walked to the side of the construction area and Wang Qinian was already directing the construction.  ¡°After digging less than 30 centimeters, three drill bits have been broken. They were all broken by accidentally hitting the steel bars.¡± Wang Qinian still looked worried.  "It's too tiring to squat and work inside, but you can't cut a hole without using an electric drill for half a day." "We have enough people to rotate." Lin Chuan said.  "This layer of concrete is the most difficult. As long as it is opened, it will be easy to handle later." Lu Guangping and the people in charge of the warehouse were distributing food and water to the crowd. Lin Chuan saw that many old people only took half of the ration.  "What's going on?" he asked as he walked through the crowd.  "They said that as long as they have enough to sustain life, they won't ask for more." Lu Guangping replied.  "We don't have long to live, and we can't help much. There is no need to eat so much." An old man sitting next to him said.  "Those young men should be allowed to eat more, so that they can have the strength to work!" Lin Chuan carefully looked at the expressions on their faces, and after making sure that their words were sincere and not sarcastic, he bowed deeply to them.  A bow.  "Is it still raining?" He walked quickly to the door, afraid that he would cry.  "Still down." At this time, the man on duty was already a tank.  "It looks like it won't stop today." "Are there monsters outside?" "Well, four mice, and a giant cat just walked away ten minutes ago." Tank replied while cleaning a pistol.  "Thirty minutes ago, there were two mutated sheep. Last night, there was a big thing outside. I couldn't see what it was. These bastards are really annoying." "Do you think they will dig open the top?  "?" Lin Chuan looked outside through the crack of the door with some worry, and a giant rat rushed towards him, but he turned a blind eye to it.  On the way back, he saw a mutated cow from a distance using its horns to break open a building and find the people inside to eat. This was what worried him.  "Yesterday morning, there was a mutated pig digging there with its fangs for a long time. It was scratched by the steel bars and left with blood all over its face. I don't think it's anything. The top was at least four meters thick when it reached the ground. It must have weighed a hundred tons.  ? What kind of monster can get it away?" Tank said nonchalantly.  Lin Chuan chatted with him for a few more words, and finally walked back to the place where he dug the hole.  Someone just came out with an electric drill. His face was covered with dust and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.  ¡°It¡¯s too hard to exert force in there.¡± He shook his head and said. Someone handed him a bottle of water and he drank half of it in one breath.  At this time, two people began to take turns chipping away at the crowbar.  "How does the sound sound? How thick is it?" Wang Qinian asked eagerly.  ¡°It feels like nothing has changed. Damn it, how much concrete was poured at that time?¡± One of the people couldn¡¯t help but cursed.  The working surface is only big enough for one person to drill an electric drill inside, and two people to dig outside. In order to ensure efficiency, one person basically has to be replaced every five minutes.  In addition to those responsible for special things, such as defense, warehouses, and medical care, they selected the three hundred strongest people to do this, but the progress was still not ideal.  The steel bars that were hastily cut with demolition pliers protruded from the outside. When someone exerted force, his arm scratched on it, and the muscles were completely opened, and blood flowed all over the floor.  He screamed in pain, and Chen Jian had to inject the only remaining analgesic into him.  People began to lose confidence. The concrete inside the opening seemed to have no end. The clanging sound of chiseling sounded all day long and all night long. In the end, people gave up hope on it.  Lin Chuan also stopped going there to check on the situation. He spent more time guarding the door with Li Mingfeng, Tank, and Lao Leng, watching the weather and watching the monsters, big or small, appear there in turn.  People still die every day in civil air defense fortifications, and their bodies are placed deepestIn the corner, an unbearable smell began to spread.  The atmosphere became dead silent again, with only the tinkling sound and the unwilling cries of the monsters continuing.  "It's cleared! It's cleared!" Suddenly someone shouted, Lin Chuan jumped up from the ground and quickly squeezed into the crowd.  The construction has stopped. Jiang Ming¡¯s head was bleeding and he was holding a slightly bent crowbar in his hand and smiled stupidly.  "What's wrong? Why is your head bleeding?" Lin Chuan asked.  "My head?" Jiang Ming touched it. When he just cut through the concrete wall, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and hit the hole. A cut was made on his head, but he casually wiped the blood on his body.  "Look!" He excitedly handed the crowbar in front of Lin Chuan, with some fresh soil on the pointed end.  Lin Chuan touched it with his hand. It was slightly damp, but it was indeed fresh soil.  He grabbed the crowbar and pushed it into the hole hard, and finally heard the sound of concrete breaking.  He pulled the crowbar out, more dirt on the tip.  "We succeeded!" Lin Chuan raised the crowbar that represented hope high, and people burst into cheers, and many people hugged each other.  With this cheer, a huge claw began to poke around in the tunnel at the door again, scratching the door several times, which made Tank nervously tighten his gun.  "Ci'ao! Isn't it just a breach? What's the matter? All these ghosts have been provoked!" He cursed with some annoyance, but he soon couldn't help but laugh.  "This is really his fault, his fault is so good!" He punched Lao Leng who was standing next to him, and a rare smile appeared on the latter's face.
