Chapter 173 Excavator
"No, you misunderstood."
Su Chen shook his head and smiled.
"It's just the two of us."
"what?"
Yu Shoujing was dumbfounded.
There were over a thousand corpses inside the base.
They were counting on him and Su Chen to transport the body up there and then bury it.
This will take forever to complete!
Can you operate an excavator?
Su Chen asked.
When they searched the base, they found several construction vehicles, such as excavators and forklifts.
If Yu Shoujing knew how to operate an excavator, he would only need to dig out enough graves.
Su Chen could easily put all the soldiers' remains into his storage space and then bring them to the ground.
"This shouldn't be too difficult."
Yu Shoujing nodded.
Operating an excavator is not particularly difficult.
With a few practice sessions, you can get the hang of it quickly.
They dug soil in the wilderness, which was relatively easy since they didn't have to consider other factors.
"You just need to dig the pit; I'll take care of the rest."
Su Chen spoke up.
"That!"
Yu Shoujing readily agreed.
They first found the excavator, started it, and then went down the huge freight elevator to the ground.
Su Chen found a suitable open space near the military base.
According to the 3D model obtained after radar scanning, the location is backed by mountains and has a small stream in front of it that is covered by snow but is still flowing gently.
While not breathtakingly beautiful, it is certainly scenic, making it the perfect burial place for these warriors.
"Okay, let's do it here!"
Su Chen made up his mind.
Before we can start digging, we need to clear away the top layer of snow.
After determining the approximate area, Su Chen followed the method he had previously used to clear the entrance to the military base, taking out a large number of Molotov cocktails and gasoline, and pouring them onto the surface snow.
As Su Chen tossed a cigarette butt over, it burst into flames with a whoosh.
If this had happened before the apocalypse, such a fire would have been enough to send Su Chen to prison for life!
Despite the cost of gasoline, a large open space appeared in front of Su Chen and Yu Shoujing in just half a day.
However, the two of them weren't in a hurry, since it was lunchtime.
Liu Ling'er and Lin Yingying prepared the meal, and Su Chen then called Zhou Qing up.
After enjoying a delicious lunch and taking a nap, the group got back to their own tasks.
For the next period of time, Liu Ling'er and Lin Yingying were in charge of logistics and meals.
Su Chen and Yu Shoujing were in charge of digging the pit.
Zhou Qing, accompanied by Sun Yan, was in the underground base, where she was hacking the base's computer system.
Due to limited resources, Su Chen was unable to make a coffin for every soldier.
He could only work with Yu Shoujing to dig out individual tombs for each person as much as possible.
In addition, the tomb must be dug deep, otherwise it will be easily washed out if it rains heavily.
This makes the workload very large.
Su Chen and Yu Shoujing worked for a whole day, but only completed one-tenth of the project.
The two didn't return to their RV to rest until it got dark.
Fortunately, good news came from Zhou Qing's side.
After tireless efforts, she finally succeeded in infiltrating the security system and taking control of the entire base.
Upon hearing this news, Su Chen was overjoyed.
He couldn't wait to take Zhou Qing back to the control center right after dinner.
"I've already restarted the computers in the monitoring room. Here's the password."
"Then, through here, we can remotely control the opening and closing of the base gate."
"This place can monitor the oxygen levels throughout the base and adjust the ventilation ducts."
"The temperature can be adjusted here."
"..."
Zhou Qing explained the various functions of the control center to Su Chen.
After learning about the specifics of the entire base, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.
The person who could design and build such a base in this place is a true genius!
Because of its remote location, it is impossible to draw electricity from the city.
Relying solely on generators would consume too much fuel.
There happened to be an underground river nearby, so when the base was being built, the authorities specially sent personnel to open up a road leading to the underground river.
They installed a large number of generators in the underground river.
The flow of river water is used to provide electricity for the underground base.
Besides.
The base's water supply is drawn from the upper reaches of an underground river.
Domestic sewage from the base is treated before being discharged downstream.
Even on the fifth floor of the base, in the logistics support area, there is a large space specifically for growing various crops.
The facilities within the base are comprehensive and complete.
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as there's enough food, Su Chen and his family could live here forever!
After Zhou Qing took control of the entire system, the base was completely under Su Chen's control.
No one can come and go as he pleases, as long as he wants.
"Qing'er, you are truly my sweetheart!"
Su Chen laughed loudly, pulled Zhou Qing into his arms, and kissed her on the cheek.
"As long as Master is happy!"
Seeing how happy he was, Zhou Qing smiled sincerely and said with a touch of shyness,
"Then tonight..."
"Don't worry, tonight your master will definitely make you submit!"
Su Chen smiled and pinched her cheek.
After testing the waters and confirming that he could control the entire base, Su Chen was overjoyed and returned to Normadison with Zhou Qing.
He is a man of his word.
That evening, Su Chen rewarded Zhou Qing handsomely.
The next morning, after getting up.
Su Chen continued to work with Yu Shoujing, busily digging the tomb.
They worked for three whole days to excavate enough graves.
Although Su Chen said that Yu Shoujing was not responsible for anything else.
But Yu Shoujing still felt that he had to help Su Chen move the remains of those soldiers.
However, to his surprise, the day after the pits were dug, the remains of the soldiers deep within the base appeared in various graves!
When Yu Shoujing saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Keep in mind that this involves the remains of over a thousand people.
Even with the help of forklifts and elevators, Su Chen couldn't possibly finish it all by himself in one night!
I imagine Boss Su has some other special methods up his sleeve!
Yu Shoujing felt a renewed sense of awe towards Su Chen!
Indeed, Su Chen cleverly utilized the storage space.
He only needed to walk past the skeletons to stuff them all in.
Once back on the ground, they would use their mental control to place each skeleton into a separate tomb.
Not to mention one night, Su Chen completed this enormous project in just two or three hours.
