Chapter 12 Heavy Truck
(《》)
There is a large construction site in the SHE District in the south of Yangcheng. It has long become a zombie playground. A large number of zombies wearing work clothes and hard hats wander around the open construction site. However, this is not a problem for Xie Tian, because he controls the Saiyans and is the safest in the zombie world.
There are many construction vehicles parked on the construction site, the most of which are canned cement trucks, mixers and heavy transport trucks. Xie Tian's eyes have always been on these heavy trucks parked everywhere. In his opinion, the biggest advantage of heavy trucks is their weight. Just modify the cab with a little protective effect. This kind of truck can become a solid mobile fortress. Moreover, the truck's rear bucket is very high and the steel plates around it are thick enough. Whether it is used to store supplies or for people to rest, it is an ideal and safe choice. Of course, if it can be slightly modified and a ceiling is welded on the rear bucket, it would be better.
Xie Tian searched around for a long time and chose the only Volvo FMX series 8x4 rear eight-wheel dump truck. This car is an absolute monster-level heavy-duty dump truck. The tire configuration of the front four and rear eight is much stronger than the domestic rear eight wheels, which is much stronger and much safer. It has a 13-liter engine with a horsepower of more than 500, making it a perfect truck that can resist harsh conditions.
The truck was parked next to the material yard where yellow sand and stones were piled up. The door in the cab was open. Xie Tian climbed up and took a look. Fortunately, the car keys were still there. Many vehicles on the street were like this. The doors were open and the keys were not taken off. It was probably because the owner didn't care about it when he was escaping.
Xie Tian sat in the cab and tried to start the car. In fact, he only took the C1 driver's license last summer vacation and had never been exposed to large vehicles. However, as long as it is not a special vehicle, the operating principles of the car are the same. This heavy truck has many electronic assistance, so it is not troublesome to operate, but it is nothing more than the coordination between the accelerator clutch and gear. Xie Tian tried a little and started the vehicle.
As soon as the car started, the engine sound quickly attracted the zombies scattered around. Xie Tian ignored them and happened to use these zombies to test the ability of this heavy truck to break through the zombie group. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and then gradually increased the gears. The speed of the car had reached forty kilometers per hour.
"Come on, grandsons!" Xie Tian adjusted his direction and rushed towards dozens of zombies. These zombies had no idea to dodge. The moment the truck rushed into the zombie group, Xie Tian only felt a violent collision in the front of the car. The car's speed was a little slower, and the vehicle was a little bumpy, and it seemed that it had crushed the zombies.
However, although the zombies were crushed, under such heavy truck wheels, the zombies' body was crushed into meat pie and would not affect the driving of the car at all. Unlike small vehicles, if they rushed into the pile of zombies, they would not be able to climb out of the zombies.
Xie Tian stopped the car and almost shouted excitedly. From the cab of the car, it can be seen that the car is brand new. In addition, Volvo's heavy truck is very famous, with strong and reliable performance. If you leave the city with this car, it will not only greatly reduce the danger, but also carry more available materials, which is the most suitable!
There is also a relatively comfortable rest sleeper inside the truck cab, which is definitely the top model of similar dump trucks. This kind of car just entered the Chinese market not long ago and is an extremely luxurious engineering vehicle.
Xie Tian got out of the cab and looked at the giant white monster back and forth, thinking in his mind that it would be better if he could find a welding machine and weld all the front glass and windows of the cab with steel bars. In that case, even if he was deeply trapped in the zombie group, he would not have to worry about safety issues at all. However, in this case, the welding machine is easy to find, but there is no power supply in the city. How to solve this problem? If the weak glass parts cannot be reinforced, the safety of the car will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, the extremely sturdy small car such as the armored car, although it is strong, its weight and impact force are more than one level worse than that of the truck.
Xie Tian found a welding machine, welding rod, and countless steel bars used by workers to welding on the construction site, even cutting machines. The only thing that is missing now is electricity. Xie Tian thought of those small generators, but there is absolutely no such thing on the construction site. The power of that generator is too small, which is a drop in the bucket for electricity use on the construction site.
Suddenly, Xie Tian flashed his spirit. I remember that before the zombies broke out, there was a line near the school rectified and a power outage was made during the day. The canteen used a Yamaha diesel generator as power supply. If that generator could be found, it would be basically no problem to drive the welding machine and the cutting machine.
Thinking of this, Xie Tian hurriedly moved the welding machine, cutting machine and all the materials needed to the truck, then climbed onto the truck, started the car and prepared to drive to the school. The school he was studying was about four or five kilometers away, and it could be reached in more than ten minutes.
Now the streets and alleys of Yangcheng have become zombies, and there are no traces of humans here. Xie Tian knows that there must be many surviving refugees in the city, just like him and Zhao Ziye, who are hiding in a safe place at this moment.
As soon as the car set off, almost all the zombies nearby were attracted and rushed towards the direction of the truck regardless of everything. However, for this heavy monster-level truck, zombies are a very small existence. After the speed of the car increased, Xie Tian rushed all the way, and almost countless zombies he bumped into. He drove through several blocks. Xie Tian looked at the open door of his alma mater and felt endlessly moved. A month ago, this place was a paradise for young people to seek knowledge and learn. Now, many of the zombies wandering at the school gate are classmates who look familiar.
The truck drove all the way to the third canteen of the school. The generator that Xie Tian had seen was found here. As soon as Xie Tian stopped, a large number of zombies that had gathered around found no sign of prey, they scattered everywhere. Xie Tian saw a female zombie and grabbed her wrist. The zombie turned around and stared at him, opening her blood-stained mouth. Xie Tian recognized the woman as his department head at a glance, but now she has become a walking corpse.
Xie Tian let her turn and leave. Seeing that the person she had known before had turned into a zombie, Xie Tian sighed in his heart, but he also knew that things had reached the worst and were irreversible at all. He just didn't know whether his parents were safe now.
Walking into the cafeteria, Xie Tian searched in the kitchen of the cafeteria for a long time, and finally found the diesel generator in the corner. There were two huge yellow oil barrels next to them, each with a capacity of 20 liters, which was filled with diesel, and there was only half left.
Xie Tian moved the diesel generator out of the canteen. Fortunately, the Saiyans were extremely strong and powerful, and then moved all the diesel out. Xie Tian had never operated such a thing, and even the welding machine had never been used. However, he had never eaten pork and saw pig run. As long as he knew how to wire and install welding rod spot welding, it was fine. As for the beauty and ugliness of welding, it was not important, it was sturdy.
Xie Tian threw a large amount of steel bars from the car. He connected the welding machine and cutting machine to the wire plate of the generator and then started the generator.
The roar of the generator attracted the zombies that had just dispersed again. They had no IQ, but the conditioned reflex would be attracted by the sound. However, this is not a problem for Xie Tian. At worst, more audiences would come to see their virgin welding.
The cutting machine is easy to master. After turning on the power supply, place the steel bars under the cutting piece and press down with a little force. You can quickly cut a steel bar as thick as a thumb. Xie Tian gestured at the size of the truck window and windshield, first cut a pile of steel bars into a suitable length, and then connect the welding machine. This is Xie Tian’s most troublesome problem. There is an electric current on the welding machine, and Xie Tian didn’t care about research. He directly connected the welding pliers, inserted the welding rods, and then picked up the two steel bars and tried it.
Bang.
The position of the welding rod contact sparks everywhere, and Xie Tian was not afraid of destroying his eyes. After all, zombies and humans were completely different. The connection between the two steel bars was twisted by Xie Tian, but it was welded in the end, and it looked quite solid. Xie Tian hurriedly tried several times, selecting the position of the welding, the strength and time were slightly grasped. Then, he pulled the welding machine next to the truck and began to modify the steel monster.
