Looking into Zhuge Yunhe's eyes, Jiang Zhiyu understood everything.

The two then walked out of the command room in tacit agreement.

The people inside looked at each other in bewilderment.

Every time these two went out to "discuss matters," the matter would be resolved when they returned. Everyone had some idea of ​​the background of this Consultant Jiang—a person whom Old Zhuge relied on so much was definitely not simple.

Those within the bureau always held the Second Administration Bureau in awe. So what abilities did this person possess that made Old Zhuge rely on him so heavily, even treating him with a somewhat "begging" attitude?

no one knows.

No one dared to ask.

Outside the door, Jiang Zhiyu got straight to the point.

"What kind of equipment and materials do you need? Give me a list, and I'll put them in the supplies warehouse tonight. But as for personnel, I can't help you with that."

Zhuge Yunhe rubbed his hands together, a rare moment of relaxation on his face: "You don't need to worry about personnel; the current rescue force is sufficient. We've made ample preparations beforehand, and we have enough supplies—even if they try to sabotage us, as long as our rescue operation proceeds smoothly, I'll handle the personnel allocation."

He paused, his expression darkening further: "We have to spare some manpower to keep an eye on those rats...it's so frustrating."

Jiang Zhiyu shook her head, her tone helpless: "There's nothing we can do about it. Post-disaster order is at its most fragile; all sorts of monsters and demons will emerge."

"Okay, then go back to your dorm and rest for a while." Zhuge Yunhe pulled a small notebook out of his pocket. "I'll make a list for you—when is the earliest you can get it to the warehouse?"

"Bring me the list first."

Zhuge Yunhe smiled, turned around and went back into the house.

-

Jiang Zhiyu returned to her dormitory and had only been sitting on her cot for a short while when there was a knock on the door.

A young soldier stood at the door, holding three sheets of paper covered with writing. The handwriting was neat and clear, and it was obviously written by Zhuge Yunhe himself.

"Advisor Jiang, the director asked me to deliver this."

Jiang Zhiyu took the list and glanced at it—bridge steel frames, precast concrete slabs, I-beams, rivets and bolts, steel bars, cement... indeed, they were all large-scale machinery and engineering materials, with a complete range of categories and an astonishing quantity.

She checked and confirmed that it was all in the space.

That's not surprising. When she was stockpiling supplies in the port city, a significant portion of the materials Shen Muyan helped her collect were industrial items. Steel, building materials, construction machinery—she collected everything she could—her post-apocalyptic experience taught her that these things were more valuable than gold in critical moments.

Without delay, and regardless of whether Zhuge Yunhe was secretly investigating, she teleported directly to the warehouse.

-

Zhuge Yunhe had indeed made arrangements in advance.

All personnel stationed within a ten-kilometer radius of the warehouse were evacuated, leaving only distant outposts on the perimeter. Night had fallen, and the surroundings were pitch black, without even a single light—under such conditions, it was impossible to discern anything, let alone see clearly, even standing right in front of it.

Jiang Zhiyu stood in the center of the open space, and the space opened up.

The first batch—bridge steel frames. Huge I-beams emerged from the void one by one, landing steadily and neatly on the ground, arranged with just enough spacing for cranes to directly hook up and lift them.

The second batch consisted of precast concrete slabs. They were stacked one by one, sorted by size, with the larger ones in one pile and the smaller ones in another, for easy access.

The third batch—steel bars, cement, rivets, and bolts—was all sorted by category, packed in sacks and wooden crates, and labeled with the numbers from Zhuge Yunhe's inventory list.

The machinery was also set aside—two crawler cranes, three diesel generators, a number of welding equipment and gas cutting tools. All of these were things she had originally transferred from the port city and the space warehouse.

After she finished placing them, she thought for a moment and then added another batch of items.

Machinery alone is not enough. Large equipment requires people to operate it, but the bridge repair workers also need handy tools—hammers, wrenches, steel bars, shovels, crowbars, safety ropes... She piled up a bunch of these small tools, packed them into several wooden boxes, and placed them in the most conspicuous position.

With machinery, materials, and tools, people can get started immediately.

Jiang Zhiyu checked everything to make sure nothing was missing, then teleported back to her dormitory.

-

I opened the door, and sure enough, it was there.

Zhuge Yunhe stood at the door, smiling at her, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

"Is it all set up?"

"It's all set." Jiang Zhiyu gave him a disgruntled look. "Go and make the arrangements."

Zhuge Yunhe didn't say much, turned to leave, but after a couple of steps turned back: "Tonight's rescue time is precious, we can't rest. Let's start the shift change and work through the night—I'll have someone send over the night shift schedule."

"knew."

Jiang Zhiyu closed the door, sat down on the cot, and rubbed her aching temples.

She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened them.

Repairing this side alone is not enough.

The rescue team and heavy equipment on the other side of the bridge that was blown up were stuck outside the mountains and couldn't get in. If they only repaired it from this side, not only would the progress be slow, but most importantly, the teams on that side didn't know the specific situation on this side of the bridge, and the two sides couldn't coordinate.

Only by starting work on both sides simultaneously can this life-saving passage be opened up as quickly as possible.

She had to go to the other side of the bridge and take a look.

Jiang Zhiyu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark mountain shadows in the distance. The night wind, carrying the smell of dust and coal ash, blew in, making her squint.

Tonight she's going to the other side of the bridge to see what the rescue team is up to and whether they can start work simultaneously.

Only by advancing along two lines simultaneously can this vital passage be opened up as quickly as possible.
