Volume II San Diego 113 The First Battle
Although the lethality of high-level zombies such as T3T4 is huge, the greatest threat to humans is the huge number of low-level zombies such as T1T2. According to the law of zombie evolution, the evolution rate of high-level zombies and low-level zombies is 1:100, that is, 1 T2 in 100 T1, and so on. According to this law, the ratio of T4 to T1 is 1:1 million. If a human base with a population of about 10,000 encounters a T4, then T4 may not escape the fate of being killed, but if a base with the same population is surrounded by a million T1s, there is no doubt that the losing side is likely to be the human base. This is the harmful power of low-level zombies, and the endless sea of corpses can make everyone feel hopeless. As for why the wall is not built to the point where it can prevent T3, it can only be said that the price is too high, even if Ye Hao is not short of money, but there is no need to waste it, and it is more likely to arouse the suspicion of other human bases.
After a month of training, the garrison of Maple Leaf Town has gradually taken on the appearance of an army, at least it can be ordered and prohibited, although it is still too immature, but Ye Hao is already very satisfied with this appearance. The fly in the ointment is that the weapons used by the garrison are too messy, these weapons were all obtained by Ye Hao when he was in the United States, some of them were purchased from David, an arms merchant in Jinshan City, and some of them were obtained from weapon stores by various methods.
Ye Hao also bought some machines and raw materials from Hyundai this time, so that Maple Leaf Town can produce some simple industrial products, such as cigarettes that sell well in Buffalo Town and canned food that is easy to carry. It's not that Ye Hao doesn't want to carry out large-scale industrial production, the most important reason why he can't do it is the lack of energy. Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, Bluestar technology was in a highly electronic level, the solar storm caused the destruction of the entire industrial system of Bluestar, and the appearance of zombies made human beings struggle on the death line, and they had no energy to care about their own development. And the huge energy required for industrialization is simply impossible to rely on Ye Hao to buy a little gasoline and diesel from the real world. However, Maple Leaf Town is already a stable base, and Ye Hao has prepared relevant plans, after all, the technology is in the database of artificial intelligence Andy, but it lacks a material foundation, Ye Hao is not in a hurry, take your time.
If there is anything that makes Ye Hao dissatisfied in Maple Leaf Town, it is that there are too many people, and there are five thousand people crowded in more than one square kilometer, which is terrifying to think about. Therefore, in addition to the newly built warehouses, military camps, municipal offices and other buildings, the population living in the walls of Maple Town is less than 2,000 people, which already makes Ye Hao feel very crowded. The rest of the people lived in tents outside the fence, and outside the tent area were surrounded by two layers of barbed wire to prevent sporadic zombie attacks.
………………………………………………………………
Zombies are biochemical mutants that have no mind, and for them, they are not conscious at all, except for instinct. The mutated virus has made zombies a kind of perpetual motion machine-like existence, and no one can explain how they have been moving and attacking for many years. Machines still need rest and maintenance, but they don't need them at all, completely contrary to the laws of energy. Especially in the dark of night, zombies can become very crazy, as if they are born to be demons in the night.
Are there any zombies near Maple Leaf Town?
Zombies are everywhere, and they are always chasing the footsteps of humans, no matter where they go. Mountains, mountains, deserts...... They can all be traced to humans. No one can explain how they were done. One settlement after another, either destroyed, or under the threat of a huge zombie horde, they choose to constantly move and find respite.
The construction of Maple Leaf Town is still very attractive to zombies. The zombies within a certain range of the surroundings were almost constantly attracted, and then they were killed one by one. In the past month, except for the zombies that have moved into this range sporadically, there are almost no zombies to be seen. But what about outside the area where the sound can be affected? Zombies are still rampant, and high-level zombies can be seen from time to time, and danger is still the mainstream of the last days.
Less than 20 kilometers away from Maple Leaf Town, there is a factory area similar to an industrial park, and Ye Hao led the garrison of Maple Leaf Town with more than 500 people not far from the periphery of the factory area.
They came here for the machinery and equipment, of course, which he promised the Buffalo town administration in exchange for 2,000 immigrants. Originally, Ye Hao was going to buy some industrial equipment from modern society to fulfill his promise, but after thinking about it, he decided to lead a team to raid the factory area.
First of all, it is to train the garrison troops of Maple Leaf Town, although they already have a look after a month of training, but only after the tempering of war can they become a real army; secondly, he also wants to use this opportunity to get some equipment in the end of the world, and then buy equipment from modern society to complete the replacement, so that it can not only hide people's eyes and ears, but also achieve a win-win situation, why not?
At this time, a small quadcopter drone is slowly flying in the air, a slight "buzzing" sound breaks the tranquility of the factory area, and a small electronic alarm installed under its belly emits a piercing alarm of "woo woo woo wow" from time to time, flying towards the periphery of the factory area.
Underneath the quadcopter, there was a dense rustle, as if there were countless bugs moving on the sand. It was a black zombie, they were in groups, and the quadcopter drone flying in mid-air was advancing, and the "woo woo woo wow" siren was guiding their direction. Several T2 zombies appeared in front of the zombie group, they ran quickly, jumping from time to time to attack the quadcopter drone flying in the air, but the height of their jump was only three or four meters, and it was not a threat to the quadcopter unmanned mechanism.
The speed of the quadcopter drone is not fast, once it has opened up the distance from the zombies, it will hover for a short time, wait for the ordinary zombies to follow, and then fly towards the periphery of the factory area.
The 500 soldiers of the first battalion of the Maple Leaf Town garrison, under the leadership of Ye Hao, occupied a pre-constructed position, waiting for the drone to attract the zombies in the factory area to the preset ambush location.
The dense rustling sound was so clear, a wind blew from afar, and the faint stench made everyone's faces change slightly, even if they were prepared in advance, but in the face of the surging nearly 10,000 zombies, the soldiers who faced the hard steel for the first time couldn't help but be nervous. After the outbreak of the apocalypse, zombies are far more harmful to humans than solar storms, and some people who have had painful memories can't help but tremble.
"Soldiers, look at the former kinders in front of you, if you don't want to become like them, then cheer up and hold on to the weapons in your hands!" Ye Hao stood on an M1A1 main battle tank and shouted: "Today is the first battle of our Maple Leaf Town, believe in your companions, believe in the weapons in your hands, for the sake of victory, for the future of mankind, fight! Mankind will surely stand at the top of the Blue Star food chain again!"
The 500 soldiers slowly calmed down as they looked at their own neatly arranged battle formations and the tanks and other heavy weapons that were ready to support them not far behind. These soldiers all had experience in fighting zombies before enlisting in the army, but they suddenly saw tens of thousands of zombies coming densely, and instinctively felt fear, and after Ye Hao's encouragement, remembering the weapons in their hands and behind them, their courage returned to these people's bodies.
The guard company led by Ye Hao and Lawrence's infantry company each had 200 people, 30 meters apart to form two skirmish lines. The armored company led by Barnes had 4 M1A1 main battle tanks, 4 M2 infantry fighting vehicles, and 4 M109A6 155mm self-propelled guns.
The surging hordes of zombies seemed to have spotted the humans waiting not far away, and their thirst for fresh flesh prompted them to pounce even more urgently.
"Don't be in a hurry, get closer and hit again. We have enough firepower density that zombies can't get close. Ye Hao stood on the front line and encouraged his subordinates: "Remember the feeling during training, aim at the head of the zombie, and strive to kill with one blow!"
"Rustle...... "The zombies are approaching, and the dozen or so T2s in front of them have begun to sprint.
"Leave those T2s alone, they have someone to say hello to. Your target is the zombie horde!"
"Bang bang bang!" As soon as Ye Hao's words fell, the low sound of heavy sniper rifles sounded continuously, and the dozen or so T2s were killed one by one without exception. This is the masterpiece of the bio-metal robot Li Tie. But there are hundreds of T2s in the nearly 10,000 zombie group, so Li Tie's sniper rifle almost didn't stop shooting, and he just beat the sniper rifle to the effect of an assault rifle, and the dull sound of the heavy sniper rifle that kept sounding became the best annotation before the war.
As the zombie group approached, more and more T2s rushed out of the zombie group, and even with Li Tie's ability, he quickly couldn't suppress the impact of dozens of T2s.
"Sniper, target T2, fire!" After Ye Hao ordered, Barrett raised his hand and aimed at a T2 and pulled the trigger, and the target T2 fell in response.
In the skirmishing line, the snipers attached to the two companies opened fire one after another, and the gunfire suddenly rang out. The T2's dash quickly lost its impact under the fire of a dozen sniper rifles, and almost all of them were killed more than a hundred meters in front of the first skirmish, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net were not spared.
The muffled sound of the sniper rifle gradually stopped, and hundreds of T2s were killed one after another before they broke through the line of life and death.
The zombie group was less than a hundred meters away from Ye Hao's skirmish line, and the soldiers could already see the ugly faces of the zombies and the dark blood stains on their bodies.
"Ready...... Fire. Ye Hao ordered loudly.
