Chapter 8: Zombies?(5)
Tiandu is a large provincial capital city in this era in which Qi Tianci lived. What is a provincial capital? Viren had asked Qi Tianci when he was about to set off, and Qi Tianci gave Viren an extremely disdainful look: "Don't tell me that your world doesn't even have a city. ”
In response to such a slightly mocking question, Viren shook his head categorically: "This is definitely impossible! In our time, towns were almost everywhere, and cities... ”
"How big was the largest city of your time?" At this time, Qi Tianci suddenly asked such a question, which caught Wei Lun off guard for a while. After thinking for a while, Viren replied with some uncertainty: "I haven't been to many places, and the largest city I have ever seen is only the capital of our kingdom, the indomitable city of Saint Sophie. If you ride a fast horse, it will take about half a day to circle the outer city walls. ”
"City wall?" Qi Tianci frowned: "Why are you so backward in that era? Why do you still have city walls? No wonder you don't know these vehicles and guns, it turns out that you have retreated from the age of technology to the age of castles." Ay. ”
What era of technology, what era of castles? Until Viren got into the car, he still didn't know what these two things Qi Tianci was talking about. Since Viren and Qi Tianci boarded two different military jeeps, and to be honest, the speed of this thing was still very fast. At least much faster than the fast horses of his own 1's time. However, there is a small trouble in front of Viren, that is, now Viren does not know how to talk to Qi Tianci.
Although they seemed to be moving together at the same speed now, the two cars were still a little far apart. Viren tried to stand on the car and shout to Qi Tianci, but unfortunately, no matter how loud Viren shouted, Qi Tianci in the other car never responded. Presumably, this may be because Qi Tianci really doesn't know.
After many attempts to no avail, Viren sat back in his seat in displeasure, watching curiously as a soldier sitting to his left played with what appeared to be a circular turntable in front of him. Looking at it, Viren was actually fascinated.
"Friend, what is this thing called?" Viren looked curiously at the turntable-like thing that the soldier was playing with, which made Viren extremely interested, and even had a feeling of wanting to touch it. Moreover, Viren actually did so, but as his hand slowly reached for the plate-like thing, the soldier gently pushed it away. "Don't move, don't move this thing if you don't get it. ”
After the soldier reached out and pushed it away, a little disappointment flashed in Viren's eyes. "I, I just want to know what this thing is?"
"Hey, it's really from the future. The soldier had no choice but to ask for his head, fiddled with the black eyes hanging on the bridge of his nose, turned his head to look at Viren, and asked, "You should always know this thing, right?"
"Uh, well... I guess it's glasses. ”
"No, these are called sunglasses, sunglasses!" the soldier said in an accentuated tone, "This thing is for driving, and it can prevent the sun's rays from piercing the eyes while driving." I think this thing was worn by those guys who flew in the sky. But then they all died, and I found this in a supply camp. ”
"Hmm, sunglasses. Viren nodded as if he didn't understand, and sneered, "In our time, we had similar things. However, the two glass pieces in the frame are not black, but transparent. That is, I can see your eyes through these two lenses. ”
The soldier felt a little speechless, he didn't expect that in Viren's time, he still had such a situation, and he didn't even have sunglasses. The soldier even felt that if he had gone to the era where Viren lived, then the soldier might as well choose to commit suicide immediately. Even if it's not a post-apocalyptic world, what can you do, at least you can drive. "This thing is called a steering wheel. The soldier played with what was called the steering wheel and said, "This thing is not a toy, but a very useful thing, and we need this thing to grasp the direction of our car and control the balance." Got it?"
Viren closed his mouth and looked at the three soldiers sitting behind him, and found that the soldier, including the one sitting next to him, was extremely rugged and bold-looking. And it can be said that it is completely armed to the teeth. Even the body was strapped to a lot of bullet-like things, but they were fixed with something like a strap.
At this time, Qi Tianci's voice suddenly came. "Come, old driver, tell this kid what kind of black technology we use! Also, tell him how big Tiandu is. ”
The soldier who was playing with the steering wheel smiled and said, "Tiandu is the capital city of the province where we were before the disaster. Well, you should be in the castle era, then, it is equivalent to the second largest city in your country. I don't know if you understand that. ”
Viren nodded, I see. Then come to think of it, there should be no indomitable city of Hagia Sophie. If that's the case, then the task shouldn't be that difficult. This lightened the burden on Viren's heart. But then, the soldier's words made Viren's heart become cold.
"Don't leave anything to chance, a magician from the future. I've heard how big your Indomitable City of Hagia Sophie is, so I can tell you responsibly that no matter how big you think your impression of the Indomitable City of Sagia Sophie is, it's less than a quarter of the size of the City of Heaven. ”
"How is that possible!" Hearing this man from hundreds of thousands of years ago, known as the old driver, belittle the city he once wanted to protect with his life, Viren said angrily: "You can't just belittle a great city like this! Do you know how much we have paid to protect the Indomitable City?"
"I'll take care of you... The old driver looked a little impatient, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Qi Tianci, who suddenly appeared again: "Old driver, don't talk about the indomitable city of Saint Sophie, you should continue to talk about Tiandu." ”
Only then did the old driver stop teasing Wei Lun, and said to a big man behind him when he was controlling the direction: "Meat Shield, you are from Tiandu, or you should tell him how big Tiandu City is." ”
The extraordinarily strong soldier sitting directly behind Viren hammered each other with both hands, and grinned: "Don't fucking call me a meat shield, call me a shield, understand? Speaking of Tiandu, I don't think any of you can know better than me, because I came from the very central rich area of Tiandu, where is it next to the government unit." Of course, I won't tell you that I am a second-generation official and a rich second-generation. Hey, I'm so humble. ”
"Meat shield, less nonsense, continue to talk about Tiandu. Although Viren didn't know how Qi Tianci knew about the situation here and was able to transmit sound from one car to another, Viren could tell that Qi Tianci was already a little annoying.
Meat Dun smiled awkwardly, and finally obeyed Qi Tianci's order: "Tiandu is a provincial capital, and there are four major regions under its jurisdiction. It is estimated that each area is the size of the indomitable city of Hagia Sophie. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it. As one of the largest first-tier cities in the world, it would take you a full day to get around both areas if you wanted to get from one area to another, even if you were on the fastest transport. Moreover, there are about 10 million permanent residents and about 15 million floating populations in the entire Tiandu City. After speaking, Meat Shield patted the back of Viren's chair with a proud face, and said, "How about it, this Tiandu is big enough." ”
Viren was dumbfounded. Indeed, a city of this magnitude had never been seen before. It seems needless to say that it is the indomitable city of Saint Sophie, and even the capitals of the Danmos Empire and the Deloma Empire are not so large. As for the population, more than 20 million people, there is something to compare it to, which is about one-third of the total population of Viren's time. Hey, the total population of all races in the entire world is only three times the total population of this celestial city at this time. What a contrast. But soon, Viren realized a crisis. That is, if there really is such a huge population, then how can they enter this celestial city?
As if to see the deep worry in Viren's heart, the old driver said lightly: "Are you scared? Actually, there is nothing, the number that Meat Dun said is really true, but it is a statistic in the early stage of the disaster." By now, so many years have passed, and in the early days of the disaster, the army of Starfish Village came here to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the entire Tiandu City, and at that time, almost all the zombies entrenched in it were cleared, and a large defensive settlement was established, and began to contain survivors from all over the world. However, it did not take long for the nearly 20,000 refugees who had migrated here to enjoy a normal life for long, because there were serious irreconcilable contradictions within the base, and a huge conflict broke out. And the zombies who had been unable to break through the base outside also took advantage of the situation to break through the defenses, turning the carefully established survivor base into a hell. After speaking, the old driver fell into a deep sigh, and after a long time, he said: "At that time, we and Qi Tianci were also there, and during the time when the base was breached, if it wasn't for the fact that we happened to find a car that could still be driven normally, I'm afraid we would have died here a long time ago." ”
Wei Lun could see that the old driver's heart was very sad, so he didn't continue to say anything, just like that, the convoy lined up in a long snake formation and drove towards Tiandu, which was more than ten kilometers away.
After a few minutes, the meat shield behind broke the silence and said, "Boy, you don't have to worry about anything. Although you don't look at the number of us in the dozens, we are all the elite of the elite in the base. And we can say that they are armed to the teeth, really, a couple of brat even put small high-explosive grenades in their mouths. ”
Looking at Viren's surprised eyes, the old driver squinted and smiled: "What this kid said is true, I saw with my own eyes that two people in the unicorn did this." I really don't know what they think, it's obviously the most powerful tank we have here, why do you want to do that, are you still afraid that those zombies will be able to break through the defenses? By the way, let's take a look at what other equipment we have. ”
Wei Lun took a closer look at the old driver sitting next to him, but after looking at it for a long time, there was really nothing else except for a few guns, ammunition and grenades that Qi Tianci had introduced before. Wait, there is still something wrong, that is, there is a kind of metal stick and other items around the old driver's body.
"It's called exoskeleton armor. The old driver smiled: "These things are our magic weapons." If it weren't for these things, we would have been able to carry so many and such heavy things. In addition, it can greatly increase our stamina and speed, and with a special vaccine, we can go head-to-head with those mutated zombies. If you look at the meat shield, his body is already more developed, plus he knows a little bit of martial arts, so the mutant zombies on one side can't last a round under his hands. Only very awesome mutant zombie meat shields will be dealt with with weapons. ”
Sure enough, Viren looked back at Flesh Shield and the soldier next to him, and found that they, like the old driver, were equipped with the exoskeleton armor that the old driver had mentioned. Looking at their expressions and mentality that they didn't care about the upcoming fierce fight, Viren secretly thought in his heart that maybe only the survivors who stayed behind were the real peerless powerhouses.
Suddenly, Qi Tianci's voice sounded again, and Viren only heard: "Guys, it's time to get started, a large wave of zombies is approaching us! The preliminary estimate is that there are thousands or so in total, and the assault chariot is ready!"
