Chapter 31 Coal Mine

Xie Tian recognized that the building was the derrick of the coal mine. He could vaguely see the huge steel cable roulette above the derrick and blurted out: "Let's go southwest, there is a coal mine there."

"Coal Mine?" Song Hui asked in surprise after a while, "Why didn't I see it?"

The others were also confused. No one saw the shadow of the coal mine. I wonder why Xie Tian said there was a coal mine in the southwest.

"Believe me, right." Xie Tian blurted out: "Coal mines are much safer than villages. You should have discovered a very simple rule. Zombies gather in residential areas. Remote industrial and mining enterprises will definitely not have too many zombies. According to common sense, when the zombies were first started, most of the workers who were not infected should have fled home in panic, and the coal mines should be able to replenish some materials that cannot be found in residential areas."

The density of zombies is almost proportional to the density of humans before the outbreak of zombies. The more people there are before the outbreak of zombies, the more zombies there are, such as cities and towns. However, if there are few people in the wilderness in the suburbs, the shadow of zombies will naturally be invisible.

In the coal mine located in the suburbs, most of the workers are villagers in surrounding townships. In times of crisis, most people will choose to go home to overcome difficulties with their relatives instead of staying to live and die with the coal mine. Therefore, this is also the reason why Xie Tian tends to go to the coal mine.

"Okay." Song Hui nodded and said, "Just as Xie Tian said, let's go find the coal mine."

Soon, the car drove to a fork point on the country road. The car avoided the straight village and chose to head southwest. While moving, others gradually saw the outline of the coal well. When the distance was less than ten kilometers, they could already see the overall overall of the entire coal mine.

"It seems to be a small coal mine." Song Hui said: "It's good that this is the case. There are not many workers in the small coal mine and there are not too many zombies."

This coal mine is located in the fields, with no people within a radius of at least ten kilometers, and even a house cannot be seen. The coal mine has a cement road facing west, which should be connected to the national highway to the west.

The iron fence gate of the coal mine was locked, but Xie Tian opened the heavy truck and easily knocked the door open. Although the inside of the coal mine looked very messy, no trace of corpses or zombies was found. Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's hurry up and look for any supplies to use, and then find out where to spend the night."

All the cars drove into the open space inside the coal mine gate. In addition to Xie Tian and Song Hui's two cars, two survivors also followed. Xie Tian instructed Zhao Ziye and Xie Yufei and said, "I'll meet them and see what's going on here. You can stay in the car and don't get out for the time being."

After Zhao Ziye had basically obeyed Xie Tian after what happened last time, but her expression was a little awkward at this moment. Looking at Xie Tian, ​​she wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak.

Seeing Zhao Ziye's expression of wanting to speak, Xie Tian pretended to be useless and said to everyone: "If anyone wants to go to the toilet, I'd better bear it for the time being and make sure that this place is safe."

Zhao Ziye nodded gently and glanced at Xie Tian gratefully, while Xie Tian inserted his pistol into his waist, pushed the door and got out of the car, and came to Song Hui and the others' Land Rover.

The door of Land Rover was also opened at the same time. Four people walked out of the car. They were all burly men about 1.8 meters tall. Song Hui was considered older inside. The others were almost twenty-six or seven years old. They had pistols around their waists, and their every move was very military.

Xie Tian nodded to the few people and said, "Let's look around. If it's safe here, let's take a break here for a while, and then look for any supplies available."

"Okay." Song Hui nodded, pointed to his side and reminded him that he was a little fat, "This is my comrade-in-arms, Liu Mu." After that, he pointed to another tall and thin person and said, "This is Zhu Jinxi." Then, he introduced another one and said, "This is Ma Jicheng."

Xie Tianyi greeted several people one by one, and then said, "I'll go and see what happened to the people in the two cars behind."

The two cars who followed Xie Tian all the way to escape saw Xie Tian coming and got out of the car one after another. There were seven people in the two cars, five men and two women.

Xie Tian went straight to the point and said, "If you are going to go on the road with us in the future, you five men will come and help. First check if there are any zombies in the mine, and then look for any available supplies."

The five men had no objection. Since they followed Xie Tian all the way, they naturally had the idea of ​​getting together all the way. At this time, everyone should use their own uses.

Song Hui may have for the purpose of maintaining stability, he asked his subordinates Zhu Jinxi and Ma Jicheng to take two men of each other, and Song Hui and his comrade Liu Mu brought another one, and Xie Tian called out Xie Xiaofei and Li Yang. The twelve men were divided into four groups and went to various areas of the coal mine to check the situation and find supplies. Xie Tian was not very interested in supplies, and what he wanted most was to find a place where he could rest with peace of mind. After all, there were five people in his car, so how to rest after entering the night was a problem.

Song Hui and the others went to the living area, and another group of people went to the material warehouse of the coal mine, and another group of people went to the coal mine office area. Xie Tian, ​​Xie Xiaofei and Li Yang were in charge of the mine area. There were almost no other colors on the ground close to the mine, and it was full of thick layer of coal ash. On the small blackboard outside a workshop, you could vaguely see the words written in white chalk: "As requested by superiors: close the coal mine before 6 o'clock tonight, and all workers evacuate before 5 o'clock." The time marked below is May 29.

Li Yang whispered: "Brother Xie, it seems that the workers here have been evacuated for a long time, so there should be no zombies, right?"

"I hope." Xie Tian took out his pistol and carefully pushed open the workshop door. There was a rear eight-wheel dump truck under repair inside.

"The tires have not been replaced yet." Xie Tian pointed to the tools and tires that were discarded on the left rear wheel and said, "This car should be useful."

Xie Xiaofei said excitedly: "Oh, Brother Xie, if we can repair this car, we will have another mobile fortress. Although it is not as powerful as your Volvo, the car has a lot of horsepower. I'll go over and take a look!"

It was indeed a bit uncomfortable for five people to squeeze into the cab of the heavy truck. Xie Tian also hoped to find a suitable car for Xie Yufei and his brother, but he already had one heavy truck. Is it necessary to get another one? Moreover, both heavy trucks need to be filled with diesel, and their own diesel reserves are enough for one car to use. If there are two cars, it may seem a bit embarrassing.

"Brother Xie." Xie Xiaofei climbed into the cab and said to Xie Tian: "The car key is still there. This car should be replacing tires normally. I'll try it when I start it."

Xie Tian nodded, Xie Xiaofei started the car, and the engine roared. It seemed that the car was fine. Then he got out of the car and checked the tires that had not had time to change on the ground, and confirmed that the tires were all normal. As long as the tires were replaced, the car could run.

Xie Xiaofei smacked his lips, looked at the domestic rear eight wheels, and said, "It would be great if there were electricity and welding machines. In that case, I could reinforce the whole car like your Volvo, Brother Xie."
