59.Chapter 59: Survival
Chapter 59
At the end of the day's training, the soldiers of the separate company went up to the city wall after a brief rest. The current city wall has changed dramatically www.biquge.info and the entire city wall is fixed with a two-meter-high barbed wire fence fixed by expansion screws, and the barbed wire is covered in the city wall like a cage. The Los Angeles military had foreseen the defensive pressure on the city walls for some time to come, so they began to strengthen the fortifications of the city walls in all aspects.
Not only was the wall reinforced with barbed wire, but the strategy of a squad guarding a fifty-meter radius was abolished, and now a company was responsible for a section of a hundred meters of the wall, requiring soldiers to guard each meter of the wall. Not only on the city walls, but also outside the city walls, there is no ruin wilderness, only a road appeared from the city gate of Los Angeles and disappeared into the distance, and now living corpses and corpses can be seen everywhere in the sight of Los Angeles. During the day the soldiers kept shooting to clean up the living corpses, but as soon as one night the living corpses reappeared, and there were more of them than the day before.
"Even if we can survive this winter, so many corpses will definitely cause a plague after the beginning of spring next year, and I don't know how many people will die by then!"
"Survive this winter, who knows if we can survive until the beginning of spring next year!" At the end of the line of sight, there were constantly swaying figures, even if the temperature was close to freezing, but the stench of temperature continued to come from outside the city walls. It has now been two months since the mass appearance of the living corpses, and most of the corpses have begun to decompose, even in the colder north. Guarding the city walls with the ubiquitous smell of corpses is not an easy job, not to mention that the smell of corpses is only a small matter.
The sun faded below the horizon, leaving only a faint glow. In the outer city of Los Angeles, after day and night rush work, the first bomb shelter shelter has been largely built, this shelter will accommodate 10,000 people, and similar shelters will accommodate thousands to tens of thousands of people, Los Angeles is going to build 20, basically including all the survivors who previously lived in the shantytown.
"It's miserable, and now the people in the shantytowns are trying to find a place to live in the outer city or the inner city, and no one wants to live underground. Selling children and daughters is just average, and there are more things you can't imagine happening!" The shelter was brightly lit, but the sound of crying even suppressed the gunfire on the city walls, and there were people begging for mercy or wanting to leave, but they were still driven into the shelter little by little under the heavy guard.
"Okay, don't look at it, keep your position!" Wang Jie was still looking over at the shelter, but Mo Bei didn't want the soldiers to care too much about these things they couldn't change, because many soldiers' emotions were affected.
"Who is your company commander? Come and sign, this is the supply of your vigil, this is the heavy machine gun issued to you, a total of three, 30,000 rounds of ammunition. The heavy machine guns were not allowed to fire at will without orders, and the number of bullets would be checked every day during the day!" "Before it was completely dark, more than a hundred lighthouses in Los Angeles had been lit one by one, and it was not long before another group of soldiers appeared through the passage under the city walls.
Wang Jie signed these things, and the supply was a box of canned meat or fish per person, which was an extra supply for the night watchmen, and they could be eaten at night if they wanted to eat, and they could be taken home if they didn't want to eat. The heavy machine gun was taken away by Mo Bei and arranged in different places on the position, and now it is an independent company, generally Wang Jie is responsible for external affairs, while Mo Bei directly commands the troops. What Wang Jie has to admire is that although he has been an officer for a long time, Mo Bei's decisiveness and adaptability are more like a commander in the last days.
The lighthouse illuminates a stretch of the area outside the walls, with soldiers leaning against the inside of the walls. Living corpses can't climb the ten-meter-high walls, and with the protection of barbed wire and lighthouses, as long as you are careful, those ghosts or other monsters will not easily attack the soldiers in the barbed wire. In fact, many soldiers felt that even if millions of living corpses gathered under the city wall, what could they do, these living corpses could not climb the wall, and it was impossible to jump ten meters high, could it be that these living corpses could still tear down the city wall? Most soldiers did not think that these living corpses could pose too much threat to Los Angeles, even Mo Bei had a similar feeling, but what happened in Lanshui City made Mo Bei feel that things were not so simple.
There weren't many places where gunfire rang out that night, and the ghouls who often came to hunt had appeared less often in the last two days, and with the protection of barbed wire, these ghouls were basically eliminated before they could pose any threat. The ghouls seem to understand this, too, and slowly reappear.
Early the next morning, I took half a day off in the morning and trained normally in the afternoon. The training was all arranged by Mo Bei with a few veterans who had been discharged, and he didn't have anything to do himself, just to practice marksmanship. The military supplies a ration of ammunition every day, and when it is finished, it is gone, and it can be kept if it is not finished.
"Come with me to the inner city to get winter clothes, the first-line guards on the city wall will issue winter clothes first, let's go early to get them, so as not to go late and be gone!" "After just two hours of training in the afternoon, Wang Jie drove a military truck over and called Mo Bei into the car, Wang Jie thought about it and gossiped a little, "Oh, by the way, I heard my new girlfriend who also works in the research institute say that Major Lin hasn't been to the research institute for a day or two, and it seems that since you went to see her, she hasn't been to the research institute." Did you do something to Major Lin to keep her from going to work?"
"What can I do to her? In the core area, if she shouts casually, I will be beaten into a sieve!" "Lin Wei, a workaholic, is really surprised not to go to the research institute for a day or two, but Mo Bei can't guess why she doesn't go to the research institute.
"Oh, do you mean that if you don't have it in the core area, you're going to let her shout?" Wang Jie tilted his head and glanced at Mo Bei and teased, he seemed to want to see a different look on Mo Bei's face. Wang Jie did see it, and Mo Bei's face changed.
"Be careful!"
"Crunch!" Mo Bei shouted to be careful, and reached out to grab Wang Jie's steering wheel, Wang Jie subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and then a 'bang' sound came from the front of the car. Wang Jie turned his head to look over and saw a person lying not far in front of the truck.
"How are you alright?" As soon as the truck stopped, Mo Bei opened the door and jumped in. The woman who suddenly ran to the truck and was hit was a woman who looked to be in her thirties and forties, with blood from the corners of her mouth, but she still looked conscious.
"Mom!" Mo Bei just helped the woman up, and a little girl ran over from the other end of the road, and Mo Bei was sad when her tears fell.
"Please, take my daughter away, don't let her be locked up underground!" The thirty or forty-year-old woman saw her daughter's eyes light up violently, and then grabbed Mo Bei's hand, her words made Mo Bei stunned for a while. And Wang Jie showed a sneer when he heard the woman's words, and stood aside with his hands clasped and didn't come over.
