from my heart [last days]

Chapter 28 Choices

Error1003.

Xie Congxin has been standing in front of the first water turbine on the right bank for 10 minutes. No matter how many times it is restarted, this line is still displayed on the CNC screen.

"Can it still work?" Peng He kicked a zombie away, and was surrounded by two people who jumped up from behind. When he turned around and saw Xie Congxin standing there like a statue, he couldn't help but said anxiously, "If you can't, just change it." Taiwan!"

They don't have many bullets, and when they run out, they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat. If they don't hurry up, they may not be able to hold on later.Cheng Yinshang was not good at melee combat, so he stayed by Xie Congxin's side all the time. Seeing that he was frowning as if he was thinking, he didn't dare to rush him too much, and just asked, "Is there any problem?"

There is a problem, and it is a very big problem. It is so big that it has to stop 32 machines in the power station and cut off the river for repair.

Xie Congxin cleared the remaining instructions, and said in a cold tone, "Next one."

Cheng Yinshang hurriedly guarded him to go to the next machine, but there are many unsatisfactory things in life, and he is always afraid of what will happen-the second water turbine is still Error1003.

"Is it still not working?" Cheng Yinshang couldn't understand this, "The next one?"

"It's useless," Xie Congxin sighed slightly, "Go underground."

"Ah?" Cheng Yinshang was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the first ten machines that hadn't started yet, "Don't you want to try it?"

"Don't try, go."

Xie Congxin was very straightforward, and walked away regardless of whether the people behind followed or not.Cheng Yinshang had no choice but to withdraw his gun, fearing that he would be injured, so he drew his saber to protect him, and shouted to Peng He who was struggling with the zombies: "Peng Peng! Let's open the way!"

"Here we come!" Years of fighting side by side made them have a tacit understanding. Peng He turned around and jumped back to them, and took out two lacquered copper mine tubes with the length of straws from the inner pocket of his vest, "Where are you going?"

Only Xie Congxin knew the way by himself. Fortunately, he had an excellent sense of direction, and the structure of the entire power station was projected in his brain like a three-dimensional image.

There are three floors in the dam, they are on the top, the basement is the remaining 26 water turbines and [-] pipes on the top, the bottom is the water circulation layer, where the filter system is located, and the elevator can reach it, but it is too dangerous. If the situation just now happened again, Pei Ze might not be able to catch him again.

Xie Congxin pointed in a direction, "Go down the stairs."

"Sure!" Peng He shouted loudly, "Captain! Brother Zhou!"

Pei Ze and Zhou An's ears are very good, and they have already noticed the situation here. Pei Ze was close, and he dodged back to them, wrapped his arms around Xie Congxin's shoulders and pulled him back, and walked around to the water turbine with Cheng Yinshang. behind.

Zhou An also flashed in from the other side. The four of them had their backs against the outer wall of the orange water turbine pipe. Pei Ze said, "Cover your ears."

Needless to say, Cheng Yinshang and Zhou An were already used to such voices. He was reminding Xie Congxin, but the surroundings were in chaos, and Xie Congxin didn't hear clearly. He lowered his head and frowned with a serious expression.

He is deciding whether to go down to the bottom floor to check the filter system. Going there may not solve the problem. If he doesn’t go, he will have to give up the twelve turbines on the right bank. If the six turbines on the basement floor can’t be started, he can only return to the central sluice gate. room, the specific amount of flood discharge cannot be controlled, so is it feasible to open one or two gates for emergency...

Outside, Peng He had already pulled out the safety bolt, threw the two detonators straight towards the center of the zombie group, and shouted: "Go!"

He ducked behind the operating table of the CNC machine tool, and Pei Ze quickly raised his hand to cover Xie Congxin's ears.

Xie Congxin came back to his senses, raised his head to meet Pei Ze's dark pupils, and focused his gaze. At the same time, there were two loud noises outside, deafeningly loud, as if two clusters of round and brilliant fireworks had exploded in front of his head.

The power of the thunder | tube is not very powerful compared to the hand | thunder, but it is enough to blow up the flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood are scattered all over the place, and the spiral flies to the ground and the wall.

Xie Congxin came back to his senses completely. Even through Pei Ze's hand, the huge blasting sound still shook his eardrums. The six internal organs are buzzing non-stop.

The hearing of the zombies became more sensitive, and they were stunned by the sound. Pei Ze poked his head, shot a few zombies blocking the road, and looked down at Xie Congxin again: "Can you go?"

He also noticed that Xie Congxin's state was not right. He had been distracted since just now, and his reaction was slower than usual. It's not like him——

Xie Congxin resisted the burning sensation in his blood vessels, and nodded slowly, "Let's go."

The two of them walked in front, and the others followed behind. The ground was full of broken corpses. They had to avoid possible attacks from everywhere around them, and they had to try their best to avoid the corpses, so as not to be attacked by fish that slipped through the net under their feet. It was very difficult to move forward. It was difficult, but most of the zombies hadn't recovered from the sound of the explosion of the detonator. The encirclement wasn't too dense, but they were moving forward slowly.

Pei Ze protected Xie Congxin and moved towards the stairwell, breaking through the surging stream of zombies with a saber, without any hesitation when raising the knife in his hand, even if he was splashed with blood on his face, he never dodged.

Fortunately, they were not far from the emergency stairwell, and the five of them stepped on the corpses on the ground and retreated into the stairwell.

Behind him, the army of zombies rushed towards the narrow stairwell. Pei Ze and Zhou An stood against the fire door alone. Peng He smashed the glass of the fire cabinet in the corridor, pulled out the bright red fire extinguisher and pulled out the bolt, and yelled at the crack of the door. Spraying wildly, the people outside immediately turned their backs, Pei Ze and Zhou An worked hard together, and finally successfully closed the fire door.

Cheng Yinshang locked the latch, and everyone dared not stop and immediately went downstairs.

The stairs lead to the top of the dam and go down to the bottom floor. The first floor is 40 meters long, which seems to be endless.After walking nearly ten meters deep in one breath, Peng He spread out on the ground, panting like a dead fish: "Damn it, I'm exhausted."

Even they had never faced such a large number of enemies at once. Zhou An leaned on the handrail of the stairs to breathe calmly for a while, and asked, "Is anyone injured?"

Cheng Yinshang shook his head, Peng He gestured ok, Pei Ze looked at Xie Congxin who was panting against the wall, Xie Congxin raised his head, his face was pale under the dim light in the stairwell.

"No." His lips moved slightly.

Zhou An immediately found out what was wrong with him, and stepped forward to check him, "What's wrong with Academician Xie?"

Xie Congxin avoided his hand, "It's okay, let me rest for 5 minutes."

He sat down against the wall, and Zhou An squatted in front of him to observe his expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Congxin leaned his head against the damp wall, raised his head and smiled, "I'm afraid Doctor Zhou won't be able to cure me, so leave me alone, thank you."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, pushed out one, bit it between his lips, and took a deep breath.

Even though he is still sharp at this time, the cold sweat on his forehead and slightly trembling fingers make him look sharp and somewhat fragile, like a hedgehog erecting its spines to protect its soft body—he is still guarding against them and refuses to show it easily any weakness.

"Rest in place for 10 minutes," Pei Ze looked back and said calmly, "Count the bullets."

Twenty minutes was enough for him to recover. Xie Congxin glanced at Pei Ze inexplicably, and closed his eyes amidst the smoke.

Pei Ze unloaded all the remaining bullets from his body and put them on the ground. Cheng Yinshang stepped forward to tidy them up with him. Peng He observed everyone's expressions and got up from the ground scratching his head.

Zhou An smiled helplessly, why couldn't he see that Xie Congxin didn't trust them.

I have tried my best to save money, but the bullet consumption rate is still far faster than expected. Of the 260 rounds brought in, there are only [-] bullets left, which is less than one-third.

Pei Ze said: "I don't need it, share it with you."

Zhou An shook his head and said, "I don't need it either."

He and Pei Ze had the best physical skills in the team. Needless to say, Cheng Yinshang, who was good at sniping, Peng He was physically strong, but he was too young and inexperienced, and it was too dangerous without bullets.

Cheng Yinshang worried: "Let's take some, just in case."

Pei Ze said: "Week An is sixty, and you will share the rest equally."

He made a final decision, Zhou An didn't say any more, and split the bullet with Cheng Yinshang Peng He.

Xie Congxin's cigarette next to him had been slowly burned to the end. The nicotine stimulated the nerves, and the adrenal glands secreted a large amount of catecholamines, which caused the blood pressure to rise rapidly, relieved the strong dizziness in the brain, and made his complexion a little lighter.

Zhou An asked him, "Is there something wrong with the water turbine above? Why can't it be turned on?"

Xie Congxin exhaled the last puff of smoke accumulated in his lungs, pressed the cigarette butt out, and his usually clear voice was a little hoarse, "There is debris in the pipe, and it needs to be cleaned."

"Can it be solved?" Cheng Yinshang asked, "How to do it?"

Xie Congxin shook his head slightly, and pulled the collar of the black jacket to the highest position, only showing half of his face above the nose, "Let's try to see if the next six can be used."

E1003, not the worst case, but it's not an easy problem either.

The inlets of the upstream and downstream sluice gates are equipped with a filtration system. The screens are so dense that the river bottom sediment can be filtered cleanly. It is impossible for ordinary aquatic fish to enter the pipeline through the filtration system. So what will be the debris stuck in the water pipe?

Can't judge, can only choose.
