Blue skies and white clouds.

Beautiful and pure, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only when he looked down at the ground did he see the damage wreaked by the typhoon.

The stark contrast between the sky and the earth couldn’t be more evident.

On the walls, Yang Tianlong, Li Hang, and others were on duty, standing guard.

They cleaned up the duty room, which was flooded by the typhoon.

The entire wall looked like it had been through a spa treatment.

The gray wall surface was incredibly smooth.

About six hundred meters from the Big Camphor Tree Base, there was a house halfway up the mountain.

After Zhong Chuchu and the others returned, they were surprised to find that the house wasn’t as severely damaged as expected.

"Maybe it’s because it’s on the leeward slope," said Uncle Lan behind Zhong Chuchu, stroking his beard.

"Hmm, everyone tidy up your things, repair what needs to be repaired, and then we’ll start on our tasks," Zhong Chuchu said to the crowd behind her.

She was under a lot of pressure, as there were many people from the Original Oil City.

Initially, when they first arrived, there were only about twenty people, but after returning from Oil City, they brought back over a hundred.

These hundred-plus people needed to eat, after all.

If they didn’t work on tasks, they couldn’t even survive.

So she began assigning tasks.

She had stayed at the Big Camphor Tree Base for a while, and during their time at Oil City, they had seized some vehicles from the Motorcycle Gang, and Li Yu had allocated a few to her.

During this typhoon, three vehicles were scrapped, but the parts were salvaged.

The remaining six or seven vehicles were scattered among over a hundred people, which was still very few.

Compared to other cooperative groups, their assets were much weaker.

Quickly, Zhong Chuchu handed over the task of collecting materials to Shen Xiaoxiao and Ling Feng, while the rest stayed to repair the house.

Though having a lot of people meant a greater food pressure, it also meant a significant workforce.

Compared to other cooperative groups or extra staff groups, their group had the most members.

And now, while almost all the cooperative and extra staff were busy repairing houses, they could spare people to go out and carry out tasks.

This was the advantage of having many people.

On the national highway, roadside trees had fallen into the center, piled with debris and fallen stones, obstructing the road.

This made it impossible for Ling Feng and his team, who had just set out, to move forward.

Vehicles couldn’t pass through.

When Zhong Chuchu learned of this, she informed Li Yu.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu instructed Li Tie and Dapao to drive the giant loader out to clear the road.

Otherwise, relying solely on extra staff or cooperative personnel would mean it would take forever to clear.

Dapao and Li Tie drove the giant loader out of the Big Camphor Tree Base, its heavyweight thundering on the road. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

A cone-shaped steel plate was mounted in front of the loader, and they extended this plate to the sides.

So, by simply driving slowly forward, the rocks, debris, trees, and other things in the middle of the road were pushed to the sides.

The efficiency was astonishing.

This was at least ten times more efficient than moving things manually.

Shen Xiaoxiao watched this giant loader, her eyes shining.

The machine was awe-inspiring, majestic.

Unlike other girls, she loved watching excavators and bulldozers since childhood, finding them fascinating.

She stood there for a long time watching.

Ling Feng coughed twice beside her and said, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, we should keep up."

"Oh, right, right. Let’s go."

After saying that, they got in the car and followed behind the giant loader.

On the road and on either side, there were some zombies.

Most were zombie corpses, but a few were still alive, though their bodies posed no threat as they had been battered during the typhoon, some with broken bodies or battered legs.

Some were nothing but heads.

These zombies, unable to move, remained trapped on the spot after the sun came out following the typhoon.

Following behind, Shen Xiaoxiao and the others moved slowly due to the giant loader’s naturally slow speed as it cleared the obstacles on the road.

They were moving at about the same pace as walking.

So Shen Xiaoxiao simply got out of the car, armed with a Wolf Fang Club, and began clearing the alive but immobile zombies pushed to the roadside.

The Wolf Fang Club in her hand was rather heavy.

It weighed over twenty pounds.

Each swing, under its weight, smashed the heads of the immobile zombies like whack-a-mole.

Dapao, controlling the giant loader, saw this and said to Li Tie, who was driving the loader, "Look at that brute back there."

The speed was slow, and the controls were simple.

Li Tie turned his head to look in the direction Dapao was pointing.

Suddenly!

With one swing, the zombie, which was only half a body, was smashed by Shen Xiaoxiao.

The Wolf Fang Club in her hand looked heavy, yet she brandished it vigorously.

"I know her; I think her name is Shen Xiaoxiao, very strong. I wonder if she’s stronger than the boss," Li Tie said, glancing before turning back to control the giant loader.

Dapao clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "I heard, I heard that the breeding manager, Zhou Weiguo, seems to fancy her."

"Who did you hear that from? I didn’t know," Li Tie asked, a bit surprised.
