Chapter 27: Picking up Rubbish

Feeling the chill on his body, Li Meng quickly opened the wardrobe and put on his armor piece by piece.

After a while, under the dim firelight, Li Meng was ready.

Looking back at the two people sleeping on the bed, Li Meng put on his helmet, turned around, opened the door, and walked out lightly.

The corridor outside was dark, but Li Meng was already familiar with the third floor, and he came to the stairs in the dark.

When he came to the stairs, Li Meng saw the flickering fire below.

Following the stairs, Li Meng walked down from the upstairs to the second floor.

The second floor was dark, perhaps hearing Li Meng's footsteps, some figures in the dark moved, but then returned to calm, silent, and the light came from the first floor.

Without stopping on the second floor, Li Meng followed the stairs to the first floor.

The basin fire on the first floor had been lit, and in the hall, Li Meng saw more than a dozen imperial spearmen standing scattered.

On the wall, the time of the mechanical watch pointed to 6:24.

At this time, it was already dawn outside, and it would be completely bright in half an hour.

An imperial spearman came over, holding the spear that Li Meng had almost forgotten.

After taking the spear from the imperial spearman and waving it a few times, Li Meng returned it to the imperial spearman.

"It's too heavy for me, so I'll hang it under the clock as a decoration."

The imperial spearman naturally didn't waste any words, and turned away with the spear.

Compared with the previous few days, the lobby on the first floor was also transformed by his secretaries, and turned into a reception hall, as well as a place for ordinary employees to work and rest. The layout was reasonable, and every place was used reasonably.

After glancing at the lobby, Li Meng retracted his gaze and said, "Twenty people will stay behind, and the others will gather outside."

As Li Meng's voice fell, on one side of the long corridor, every door was pushed open, and one by one, the imperial spearmen and imperial archers walked out of the room, their figures swaying, and the sound of clanging footsteps resounded throughout the room.

They left the Governor's Mansion from the back door on the other side and lined up in front of the gate.

In less than five minutes, 20 imperial archers and 80 imperial spearmen lined up outside the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing this, Li Meng pushed the door open and left the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, a gust of cold wind blew in from the cross window and hit Li Meng's face. The biting coldness shocked Li Meng's spirit and he strode into the ranks of the imperial spearmen.

At this time, Li Meng realized that the shelter was not quiet. It was not only his soldiers who made a noise. The basin fire in the trading area had been lit, and the darkness was dispelled. Under the firelight, on the main road, some people were moving in groups to the north.

"Let's go."

With Li Meng's order, the imperial spearmen and imperial archers followed the sound, five people in a row, and lined up to move forward.

For the shelter, today is a busy day and a day of great adventure.

"Get out of the way, they are coming."

The clanging footsteps and the steel bodies behind him made the people in the passage give way and stand on both sides to watch.

Watching the steel bodies passing by in a line, the survivors had only awe in their eyes.

When Li Meng led the soldiers out of the narrow passage and came to the wide platform of the logistics, the logistics was already noisy.

The crowd was everywhere, on the platform, under the platform, and at the warehouse entrance not far away, there were people everywhere.

The arrival of Li Meng and his party and the steel bodies walking out of the passage undoubtedly attracted the attention of others.

The logistics was no longer dark. There were several huge braziers on the platform. Under the cold wind, the flames danced and the fire flickered, which dispelled the darkness very well.

"Sir!"

Zhang Guowei, who was commanding everyone on the logistics platform, saw Li Meng coming and hurried to meet him.

"Keep moving forward."

After giving this order to the soldiers, Li Meng stopped.

Looking at Zhang Guowei who had come to his side, Li Meng said: "The army will set off first. Half an hour later, you will set off again. Pay attention to the footprints in the snow. Don't leave our route. We will meet at the dock."

Nodding, Zhang Guowei said: "Understood, I will lead the team to set off in half an hour."

Without saying anything more, Li Meng took a step forward, walked past Zhang Guowei, and followed the army to leave the logistics platform and walked towards the entrance and exit not far away.

There are many people in the logistics, no less than two hundred people, and more people walked out of the passage and joined the transport team.

Amid the attention of the crowd, the army gradually went away.

Until the army disappeared at the exit of the logistics, the crowd gradually became noisy again, and it was noisy.

It was already dawn...

On the snowy street, Li Meng walked while looking up at the sky.

Although the darkness was gone, the sky and the earth were still dim, and the dark clouds above were rolling and floating, very low, as if they would fall to the ground at any time.

The cold wind whistled, rolling up snowflakes and drifting everywhere.

Feeling the coldness of his body, Li Meng quickened his pace.

In a white world of ice and snow, on the streets between buildings, steel bodies were walking with difficulty, the snow submerged their calves, and they left several ditches behind them with every step.

Although Li Meng had never been to the dock, he knew where the coal dock was.

Although sixty years have passed, here in the suburbs, the buildings are still the same as they were sixty years ago, and the roads are still the same as sixty years ago. The only difference from sixty years ago is that they are all buried in In the snow.

Even the street lights on both sides of the road turned into snow pillars, and the metal inside was not visible at all.

The shopping mall behind him gradually faded away, and only the tall building was clearly visible, not buried by the snow.

"etc!"

After walking about one kilometer north, Li Meng stopped on the road.

The advancing army came to an abrupt halt, stopped and stood motionless on the road.

Turning his head slightly, Li Meng looked to the left.

Just to the left is a factory buried in snow...

The factory building is not a high-rise building, but very low. Over the past few decades, it has been gradually buried by snow, forming a snow mountain.

What Li Meng was interested in was not the factory building, but the small snow bags in the factory parking lot.

Looking around, Li Meng muttered in his heart: "Go pick up rags."

Thinking of this, Li Meng said: "Ten people will follow me, and the others will stay where they are..."

As he spoke, Li Meng walked towards the factory on the left. His location was just outside the factory gate.

Among the troops stopped on the road, ten imperial spearmen came out, followed Li Meng, and entered the factory with him.

Arriving at the parking lot, Li Meng stopped in front of a small snowpack.

Stretching out his right hand, Li Meng peeled away the thick snow. The snow was about ten centimeters thick. The bottom was not the car body, but a layer of black ash, mixed with the ice, which looked very thick.
