One hour later, the space inside the bus and the Jianghuai truck was basically filled up, yet even so, they had only moved less than a third of the bricks in the yard.
Looking at the still more than half a yard of neatly stacked bricks, plus the chairs, benches, windows and other things dismantled and scavenged from the factory area, both Hu Xiaodong and the fighters who took part felt it would be a real waste to just drive back like this.
After all, what lay before them were must-have items for the big post‑apocalypse construction; as the saying goes, opportunities like this are rare. Miss it this time, and if they wanted to find this kind of stuff again, they might have to pay an unimaginable price.
Based on that, the scavenging squad discussed it together and decided to first find a suitable place to stash the fully loaded supplies, then after resolving the crisis at the school, they would slowly haul everything back.
