Chapter 742 (1/2)

Unfortunately, on the 25th, there was a heavy rain in Taipei.

Heavy rain washed the sand and soil into muddy mud, and several construction robots lost their anchor as the rain poured back into the unfilled foundation. Because the construction conditions are too simple, the progress of the project is extremely difficult, even into a standstill

”If this rain continues, we'll have to fight the mud crabs on the beach.” Standing on the watchtower of the expeditionary fortress and looking at the construction site on the beach of despair, Li Wang's brows are locked.

But no one expected that the rain would be so heavy.

During the campaign against the waterworks gang in Hongcheng, Jiang Chen was impressed by the difficult mud crabs. Shell that bullet can't Pierce, pliers that can crush steel, and the delicious crab roe

However, according to Chen Guangning, mud crabs are also divided into river crabs and sea crabs. Living in the marine environment, mud crab crustaceans are darker in color, larger in size and more ferocious in habits. Any creature smaller than its size will become its prey.

Without the protection of the wall, it would be unrealistic to fight with these monsters in the wilderness.

Heavy rain delayed the progress of the project, and there was no better way for Jiang Chen. If there is no chance of success, he will have to order evacuation and wait until the summer solstice before moving the space elevator. Let his subordinates die for the impossible task, such a thing Jiang Chen can't do anyway.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen said.

”If 80% of the project can not be completed on March 1st, we will withdraw our people from the front line, retreat to the fort and evacuate in batches.”

”And the survivors?” Li Wang asked.

”You don't need to ask me about that.”

Jiang Chen took a look at him and turned away from the watchtower.

If the expeditionary forces withdraw, the fate of these survivors will be obvious.

However, even if the survivors who did not have time to hide died, he would still make such a choice.

After all, he is more responsible for his own lives than the lives of these strangers.

……

Rain pattered down on the concrete pavement, and the sky over Taipei was covered with thick haze. The fear of the month of disaster haunts every Yizhou survivor like a ghost.

Go north into the city, cross two blocks and a station, and you can see a settlement that looks like a shack. The town has no name. It was named town 79 because of the number of shelters. People built houses with bricks and billboards they had picked up, and they lived together in a crowded way, trying to draw poor warmth from this last world.

However, the warmth is so pale at the time of danger.

The people who have enough sub crystal have already taken refuge in the shelter, while those without sub crystal can only look at the numb guards with pleading eyes. Some people will live, while others can only survive in the disaster. Even the isolated island cannot escape the universal axiom of eschatology.

The guard at the gate leaned under the shelter, leaning against the dirty assault rifle, and moved his sight slightly impatiently.

As for the passers-by, they just glance at them in a hurry and don't bother to ask them carefully. The island is short of resources and its economy is relatively closed. There are hardly any marauders in Yizhou Island, but some survivors who can't survive and occasionally work as part-time bandits.

Inheriting the ammunition depot of refuge 79, there are 500 fully armed soldiers stationed in No. 79 Town, which can be regarded as the largest surviving force in Taipei. Generally speaking, it is impossible for some unseen bandits to come here to find trouble.

In the heavy rain, a line of people in raincoats walked to the town. The hoods of the raincoats covered the faces of the three people, and they were suspicious. However, the guard looked at the three men one more time and looked away.

Passing through the gate of the town smoothly, Lin Ling shrunk her cuffs into her raincoat and murmured in a low voice.

”Can't these sloppy guys make their houses clean?”

”No matter how beautiful it is, when the month of disaster is over, the only good estimate here will be mud crab eggs.” Chen Guangning gave full play to his role as a guide at the moment, introducing Lin Ling and Jiang Chen.
