Kingdom of Corrosion

Shana said, "Frozen food will definitely be inedible with the power outage. We should mainly rely on foods like instant noodles and rice that are vacuum-packed and waterproof. I believe food won’t be a big issue, so we need to solve the water problem. Which location do you think is most suitable for us to establish a semi-permanent shelter?"

First, exclude the distribution area; there are very many trains there, closely packed together, not to mention the risk of survivors attacking and zombies sneaking into your house without you noticing.

The remaining areas include the container loading area, warehouse area, and dispatch stations, but none conform to the traditional sense of a shelter.

A good shelter needs to have a geographical advantage, such as a church on a mountaintop surrounded by cliffs on three sides and a one-way road on the other. Or a fortress made of containers with a steel line of defense, only two small doors. Slightly worse would be a commercial street, at least with an open front, making it harder for enemies to sneak into the base. Even worse is the previous location of Lin Wu and Xiao Wu at the parking lot, where they were situated in a complex area of cars, setting up alarms around, creating a relatively stable safe zone.

Lin Wu tried to analyze, first needing water, clean water is very important, so they could only consider the Southwest Mountains, where there must be spring water. Shana tried to elevate the drone, flying as far as possible, and both simultaneously said, "That’s the one."

To the southwest of the distribution area is the original river channel of a breached dam reservoir, on which there is an old but intact arched railway bridge. The railway bridge is 15 meters higher than the river surface and the land by the bank, with a total length of about 200 meters. From a geographical standpoint, the railway bridge is also connected to an elevated railway that goes into the mountains, presumably laid during the early industrial era for transporting ores or timber.

The tracks on the elevated bridge have been dismantled, and the elevated bridge near the mountain forest is covered with green trees and weeds, with no traces of human activity visible from the drone.

There is a green-skinned train with 12 carriages parked on the railway bridge, its locomotive a classic internal combustion engine from the early last century.

This train is the shelter that Lin Wu and Shana decided upon at first sight.

This shelter has several advantages. The first advantage: It is away from the complicated terrain of the distribution area, with only one track, and has an open view, allowing for the construction of an entrance with wire meshes, etc., which can effectively ensure the safety of the shelter.
