Volume 1 The Beginning of the End 009 Investigate Maple Leaf Town

After arriving in Maple Leaf Town, Ye Hao suggested that Natasha still pick them up in the car and enter Maple Leaf Town with three team members.

In the position where Ye Hao and Barnes were separated yesterday, Ye Hao discussed with the three team members, and he still went to the house yesterday to search for food, and the Sanming team members attracted zombies outside and picked him up to leave safely.

Just like yesterday, after Ye Hao climbed to the second floor, he took out all the grains and bacon and other items in the space, and only left a little high-calorie food such as chocolate for himself. After packing nearly 300 kilograms of food, Ye Hao met Natasha smoothly with the help of three team members.

Seeing Ye Hao and the others returning with a full load, Natasha was very happy, with this food, their team could last for a month.

"Natasha, I just felt something was wrong with the zombies in Maple Leaf Town. If there was no prompt from the system, Ye Hao would not care, but after the system's reminder, he observed carefully and found that the zombies in Maple Leaf Town were a little wrong. Under normal circumstances, the direction they are located in is the residential area of Maple Leaf Town, and the density of zombies should be high. However, Ye Hao didn't encounter much trouble every time he entered, and there were only thousands of zombies in the entire residential area, which was too abnormal. Ye Hao told his analysis, and then said: "According to the urban planning before the catastrophe, the eastern area of Maple Leaf Town belongs to the living area, and there are various types of residences, supermarkets, hospitals, schools and other facilities step by step. Although the cataclysm occurred on weekdays, the population of the entire Eastern District should not be less than 50,000 even if it is not 100,000, and according to the current situation, the number of zombies in the Eastern District will definitely not exceed 10,000. ”

"Then what are your plans, do you want to enter Maple Leaf Town?" asked Natasha with a frown.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Ye Hao replied: "Not for the time being, I think we can go around Maple Town, if there is still no harvest, I decided to go deep into Maple Town tomorrow to check." ”

"You're crazy! The center of Maple Town is the commercial area, the northwest is the industrial area, and the number of zombies is definitely not less than 100,000. Natasha said urgently.

Ye Hao smiled bitterly, I don't want to either, if I can't complete the task in seven days, I will be finished. It's been almost 50 hours now, and I don't even have a clue, and the adventure is forced. "Why don't you go back first, and I'll go and see it alone. ”

Seeing Ye Hao's insistence, Natasha could only say, "No, it's too dangerous to go alone." After thinking for a while, she said again: "You also said that you will only check on the periphery of Maple Leaf Town today, and we will go with you!"

The three team members also agreed with Natasha's statement, after all, there is always a response when there are many people.

"Okay," Ye Hao didn't insist anymore.

After driving, Natasha suddenly said: "Oh no, we don't have enough fuel, I only prepared fuel for the round trip today." ”

Ye Hao was speechless, after all, it was his idea to change the plan temporarily.

At this time, one of the three team members, a big black man named Jimmy, said, "Captain, the nearest gas station to us is near the entrance of the southwest national highway in Maple Leaf Town. ”

Natasha glanced down at the meter, "That gas station is about five kilometers away, we should have enough fuel in the tank." It's just that as far as I know, it's a dead place. Forget it, let's go over and have a look, if it's too dangerous, we'll have to go back to the base first and come back tomorrow. ”

The crowd decided to go to the gas station first.

In the small talk on the way, Ye Hao learned about the history of the development of science and technology on this planet.

In the year 2050, a major breakthrough has been made in the storage technology of batteries, and the safety of nuclear reactor miniaturization has been solved. A large number of high-efficiency batteries have been developed for military and civilian applications, and the fourth energy revolution based on the miniaturization of high-energy batteries and nuclear reactors is expanding in Bluestar. After nearly 20 years of development, high-energy batteries, as new energy, have gradually replaced the internal combustion engine using fossil energy and become an emerging power source. However, although high-energy batteries outperform internal combustion engines in terms of stability and efficiency, they are slightly lacking in explosive power. Therefore, in some high-end markets, internal combustion engines still occupy a large share.

The electromagnetic storm caused by the stellar storm destroyed most of the machinery with high-energy batteries as the core, including the vast majority of civilian vehicles and aircraft, and the military of various countries also suffered heavy losses, and almost all kinds of light and heavy weapons represented by laser weapons and armored vehicles were scrapped. Technology has gone back decades, and humanity has returned to the age of gunpowder weapons and fossil fuels. This is also the reason why human beings suffered great losses after the cataclysm, the advanced weapons in their hands were not even as good as burning sticks, and a large number of gunpowder weapons could not be found as a substitute in a hurry, and the organized resistance of human beings was quickly disintegrated. The surviving humans can only rely on a small amount of gunpowder weapons and internal combustion engine vehicles to fight against zombies.

After listening to Natasha's statement, Ye Hao was silent all the way, no wonder Blue Star's condition was so bad, without the assistance of weapons, how could an unarmed human be the opponent of zombies?

The car circled Maple Leaf and traveled some distance before finally seeing the gas station Jimmy was talking about.

According to Natasha, when she came here before, there were thousands of zombies in the small gas station, and it was because humans trying to get fuel were constantly infected by zombies, which caused the scale of zombies in the gas station to become larger and larger.

Strangely, Ye Hao did not find a large number of zombies wandering, as far as his eyes could see, only a few zombies wandering in the gas station.

Ye Hao and Natasha jumped out of the car, and the two of them had a 30-liter oil drum, if they could successfully obtain gasoline, these two barrels of gasoline would be enough for the car to travel five or six hundred kilometers.

In the empty square in front of the gas station, hundreds of cars were parked on it, and from the position of these cars, it was almost conceivable that he and the others were by no means the first team to fight the idea of this gas station. However, there are all indications that these teams have been permanently left in the gas station by the zombies and have become one of them.

According to the number of these cars, the number of zombies in the gas station is definitely above 500. But as far as the eye can see now, there are not many zombies wandering around, and even if there are hidden zombies in the gas station, the number will not exceed 100. So where did the rest of the zombies go? This situation, combined with the previous phenomenon in the Eastern District, increased Ye Hao's uneasiness.

But now is not the time to think about this, squatting behind a weed, Ye Hao whispered: "Natasha, I'll go to attract zombies in a while, you take the opportunity to fill up the two oil drums, don't worry about me after filling up, you go back to the car directly, I will find a way to get rid of them." ”

Natasha hesitated slightly, nodded, she handed the automatic rifle in her hand to Ye Hao, he patted his waist and pinned the pistol that Natasha gave him last night and said: "I'm only responsible for attracting zombies, this gun is still left by you, so as to prevent any fish from slipping through the net." ”

Natasha thought for a moment and said with concern: "Be careful, if you really can't hold on, find a way to leave by yourself, leave me alone." ”

Ye Hao nodded, ran out of the grass, picked up a steel pipe from the side of the road, and rushed to the gas station. The grass was only seventy or eighty meters away from the gas station, and Ye Hao reached the periphery of the gas station in a few seconds with all his strength, and the zombies' reactions were very sensitive, and more than a dozen zombies on the periphery began to pounce on him. Zombies move faster than normal human walking, but are slower than human runners. Once targeted by zombies, you can only rely on running to get rid of them, which requires a lot of stamina.

Ye Hao didn't pay attention to the dozen or so zombies who came up at all, he jumped into a car as soon as he jumped, and before the zombies caught up, he smashed the glass of the car frantically with a steel pipe. The loud sound of glass shattering soon shattered the silence of the gas station. It's like pouring a spoonful of water into a boiling oil pot, the originally quiet gas station suddenly boiled, and zombies emerged from convenience stores, restaurants and offices, black and pressing, and rushed to Ye Hao standing in the car. These zombies are extremely mixed, ranging from gas station uniforms to white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, and even a few police officers in police uniforms.

Ye Hao swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect that there were so many zombies hidden in this gas station, judging from the number of his own eyes, there were no less than 100. Although it is much less than what Natasha saw before, hundreds of zombies are crowded in this gas station, and the scene is still very spectacular.

Ye Hao endured his fear and roared loudly: "Come on...... Come on, you trash, some of them will turn Lao Tzu into zombies. "He had to get all the zombies out of the gas station before Natasha could come in and fill the gas.

Just now, more than a dozen zombies have arrived in front of the car, some of them are directly next to the car and keep tearing with their hands, and the others directly hit the car. The car shook under the impact of the zombies, making Ye Hao, who was standing on the roof of the car, in danger.

Of course, Ye Hao wouldn't let them catch him, and the steel pipe in his hand was quickly raised, smashing the heads of the approaching zombies.

After killing a few zombies, the zombies in the gas station finally walked out of the gas station and rushed towards Ye Hao. Ye Hao did not hesitate, and jumped out of the car in a volley, luring these zombies away from the gas station. Ye Hao's target was a small hill behind the gas station, and only by luring them there would it not block the road outside the gas station.

Almost as soon as the zombies left the gas station, Natasha, who was hiding behind the grass, sprang out, carrying an automatic rifle behind her back, and running frantically towards the gas dispenser with a gas drum in one hand. After Ye Hao successfully attracted the zombies to turn a corner, Natasha had already inserted the oil pipe into the mouth of the oil barrel.

Ye Hao endured his heart, took hundreds of zombies, and circled around the hillside behind the gas station. If you want to fill up two barrels of gasoline, it will take at least five minutes, and if you count the time of retreat, you will have to be Natasha Hokage for at least seven or eight minutes. Just looking at these zombies slowly surrounding, Ye Hao couldn't help but ask himself, can he really hold them for seven or eight minutes?

This hillside is not very large, hundreds of zombies are crowded together, leaving not a lot of space for their activities, almost every time they take them around, their range of activity will be reduced by 1 point. For these tireless zombies, Ye Hao was full of helplessness.

This hillside must have been built from the soil dug up by the platform when the gas station was built, and after the study was left unattended, it became a pile of weed. Ye Hao looked at it carefully, and then he had an idea, he rushed towards an earthen wall more than ten meters high on the top of the hillside, jumped up suddenly, used the steel pipe in his hand, and plunged into the soil, climbed up, twice the normal human physique played a role, standing on the top of the earthen wall, looking at the crazy zombies below, Ye Hao laughed.
