The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 69 Fire Truck

Some people try their best to make others laugh, but the results are not very ideal. However, some people are different. Even if they just stand there motionless, they can make people feel funny.

This is the case with Harris. He now looks serious, as if he is demonstrating something to everyone. Since he can only use one arm at present, coupled with his weird and comical face, it is simply hilarious.

Seriousness and humor can never appear on the same person's face, but Harris obviously did it.

Harris found a hose with a large enough inner diameter, which he said would allow the fuel to flow smoothly.

Harris reminded the onlookers: "Everyone must pay attention, do not smoke or use other open flames when pumping oil!"

"When Chase and I were on an operation, we were hit by a gas explosion because of smoking. Luckily, the car didn't have much gas, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen you!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Don't worry, Harris, we are not that stupid!"

Harris felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he simply continued to demonstrate the steps.

Harris inserted one end of the hose into the tank, making sure the opening of the hose was below the oil level, and then he began to suck on the other end of the hose with his mouth until the oil came out.

The hose is now full of oil, and it is considered successful only when the oil starts to flow out from the other end of the hose. Harris's step is to create an oil column in the hose, which utilizes the siphon principle.

Once the hose is filled with oil, Harris quickly places one end of the hose into the receiving container, ensuring that the opening of the hose is lower than the oil level in the tank. Due to the difference in oil level, the oil will begin to flow from the tank to the receiving container.

These were all the skills Chase taught him. Now Harris was enjoying everyone's "admiring" gazes as he demonstrated to everyone and explained the precautions to everyone.

In the days before coming to Harrison Memorial Hospital, Harris had been pumping oil with Chase. Now Harris felt that he was terrifyingly strong.

Zhou Nan felt relieved when he saw that everyone was able to extract the oil by following Harris's steps.

"Everyone has learned it, right? Now let's take action. Remember, you must act nearby and don't stray too far. This way, we can respond promptly if something happens!"

"Also, Paul, you're quite skilled, so go find a car you can drive, preferably one with more space."

As Zhou Nan gave out tasks one by one, everyone began to work in an orderly manner.

Because Zhou Nan was in a state of muscle weakness all day long due to his crazy exercise every day, so Zhou Nan did not risk going out due to everyone's opposition.

Zhou Nan had no choice but to stay in Harrison Memorial Hospital and slowly carry food and other supplies to the truck.

Zhou Nan was not moving alone, Jimmy, Billy and Karina were also helping.

Zhou Nan's movements were very slow, and every action was a torture to his body. Fortunately, Zhou Nan was persistent.

By the time Zhou Nan and his colleagues finished their work, it was already dark. The others had also finished the oil pumping operation and returned to Harrison Memorial Hospital one by one.

"Where's Paul? Hasn't he come back yet?" Karina became anxious when she saw that everyone had come back except Paul.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a car was heard in the distance. Everyone went out to see, and saw Paul coming back in a fire truck with flashing lights!

This fire truck is fully equipped with flashing lights.

There are multiple pairs of red and yellow flashing lights installed on the front, roof, cab side, upper body side, rear and top of the rear, making Paul particularly conspicuous when driving it.

Fortunately, there were no zombies nearby, otherwise such a showy behavior would be tantamount to seeking death.

Zhou Nan was also shocked when he saw the big guy that Paul brought back. Paul actually got a Pierce fire truck!

"Paul, where did you get this?"

Paul got out of the car and, upon hearing Zhou Nan's confusion, smiled and replied, "I was lucky. I found it on the roadside. Unfortunately, the water tank inside was emptied. Fortunately, no one needed diesel, so I was able to drive it back!"

The cab of this fire truck is about 2.5 meters above the ground and about 3 meters long. Its rear space is very spacious. If it is a high-top passenger cabin, standing inside is not a problem.

The rear seats in the cab were not arranged side by side, but were staggered with 1 on each side and 2 in the middle. It was not a problem to accommodate people like Zhou Nan, and it perfectly met Zhou Nan's requirements.

And this Pierce fire truck uses a Detroit Diesel engine.

Between 1995 and 2010, Caterpillar and Cummins also joined the engine competition.

But the Detroit 60 series is still a popular choice. However, after 2010, Detroit Diesel announced that it would no longer provide engine products to the third-party market for highway buses and fire trucks.

In other words, this brand new Pierce fire truck may very well be one of the last fire trucks equipped with Detroit diesel engines.

The Detroit Diesel engine is known for its high fuel efficiency, economy, durability, low maintenance costs, and reduced noise, features that make it ideal for Zhou Nan's current needs.

"Paul, well done! We really need a big guy like this!"

Zhou Nan patted Paul on the shoulder, then ran impatiently to the fire truck and felt its cold and solid body with his hands.

There is also a traction winch at the rear of the vehicle for forced towing, and a ladder on the vehicle body that leads directly to the top of the vehicle.

The vehicle is also equipped with a retractable ladder. If someone stands on the ladder, they only need to open the legs to provide support and the ladder can be opened.

If the person above is equipped with a walkie-talkie, then Zhou Nan will have obtained a movable 30-meter super-high sentry tower, from which he can monitor the movements of all zombies in the surrounding area!

Zhou Nan then opened the car door and went inside to check. He saw that the facilities inside the car were complete and sturdy, and the main structure was carefully designed to withstand strong impacts.

Zhou Nan imagined that if they were attacked by zombies, everyone could hide in the car and quickly escape from the dangerous area with the help of the fire truck's solid shell and powerful horsepower.

Moreover, the fire truck is also equipped with a high-pressure water gun. If zombies approach, these devices can be used for defense and attack. If there is no danger, it can also be used as a water storage device. Just add water purification tablets.

Zhou Nan is very satisfied with this fire truck. He believes that with it, everyone can more effectively avoid risks and provide protection in this crisis-ridden doomsday world, and their chances of survival will be greatly increased.

"Great, with this big guy, we can set off overnight!" Zhou Nan didn't want to delay for a moment.

Everyone also trusted this "big guy" very much and nodded in agreement with Zhou Nan's arrangement. With this fire truck, hundreds of zombies could not stop them!

And now, there are only three things Zhou Nan needs to do.

The first thing is to leave here as soon as possible. No one knows when this place will be attacked again!

The second thing was to go back to Rick's house and find Stick Brother, Morgan Jones, and his son Duan.

Morgan, known as the strongest saint in The Walking Dead, is a character that people both love and hate. He is also the first living person Rick meets after waking up in the play. After they separate, he appears several times later.

But he has been in a state of mental disorder because his wife and son died one after another, which brought him unimaginable mental pressure.

Morgan originally had strong fighting ability. Later, after meeting his master "Stick God", his "divine power was perfected". He could dance with the stick in one hand with superb skills, as if he was possessed by Monkey King.

He also possesses both the schizophrenia strengthening technique and the god-level immortality technique. [Just kidding, but he is indeed mentally ill]

He fought on equal terms with Jesus, and was only slightly inferior in the end. In short, his strength was very strong, and he could be regarded as a walking ceiling level.

Zhou Nan still wants to recruit such a person into the team. As long as his son Duan is protected, Morgan is still a very promising person.

Of course, the third thing is that Zhou Nan did not forget the weapons in the police station where Rick was. Zhou Nan had been coveting these most important weapons and equipment for a long time!

It’s not that Zhou Nan didn’t want to go there before, but in the original drama, after Rick woke up and went to the police station, he found that only a small amount of weapons and ammunition were left.

Zhou Nan suspected that there were still police officers guarding the place. If he went there rashly, he would probably get into trouble.

Based on the principle that it is easier to get things done with acquaintances, Zhou Nan just wanted to wait for Rick to wake up and take him with him.

In this way, even if they meet a good police officer inside, no conflict will break out for Rick's sake.

Now that Rick has finally woken up, it's time to hurry up and collect these weapons and ammunition.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't hide his excitement.

"Everyone hurry up and move the supplies. We're ready to set off today!"
