91 Striking trees and shocking corpses
Without corpse fluid, this matter can be big or small.
To put it mildly, the food and drink on the island are all pure natural food, the supply is abundant, and there is no urgent need for plant mutation.
But in the long run, at least until the winter of this year, the island will need to store a lot of biodiesel, and this project alone will need to consume a lot of corpse fluid.
"I'm going to hunt zombies."
That night, Su He lay on his side on the bed and said bold words to Du Yunfei beside him.
Du Yunfei flipped through the pages of the medical book in his hand: "First of all, what are your plans?" ”
"Not yet."
"How many zombies are you going to hunt?"
"Ten? Twenty? Anyway, it would be nice to be able to refill the pool outside the gate. ”
"I didn't think about anything, and I went hunting zombies." Du Yunfei shook his head very dryly: "Nonsense." ”
Su Yi snatched his book and put it on his face: "You can also help me figure out a way!" ”
Du Yunfei turned his head and glanced at him: "Aren't you very smart?" ”
"A good man with a gang of three, Brother Cheng also said that if the two of us win a Nobel Prize, it will be Marx and ...... in the new era."
Before he could finish his nonsense, Du Yunfei had already lifted the book and blocked his mouth.
————
Mockery is mockery, but serious things should be done or done.
Within a few days, a plan for hunting zombies was taken out by Su He and Du Yunfei.
According to estimates, to stock up on enough biodiesel this winter, at least ten zombie corpses will need corpse fluid. Coupled with the use of seven, seven, eight, and eight, Su He suggested catching at least twenty or so at this time.
With such a large number of them, catching them one by one is not only inefficient, but also prone to danger. All things considered, he suggested simply taking the zombie tree for the knife.
"Our tenet, if you can play yin, you will never be hard. Zombies don't have brains, so let's play with them and play with them until they die again. ”
Su He's bold words are certainly not on paper, during this time he has had in-depth exchanges with relevant personnel in Qinghai and other resettlement sites, and summed up a set of effective measures to deal with zombie trees. He then took it out and revised and summed it up with everyone, and worked out the next battle plan in detail.
Early in the morning of August 20, except for Duan Xingze, who continued to stay on Foguang Island, the six adults all boarded the cargo ship of Leiming Island and headed north along the coastline.
About an hour later, the cargo ship approached a small fishing port wharf.
There's something special about this terminal – it's not a properly built passenger and cargo terminal, but more like a makeshift unloading point built by the locals.
Since the nearby coast is full of reefs and shoals, large fishing boats returning from fishing cannot dock, so there are many small wooden boats moored on the shore that are used to ferry between large ships and the coast1.
Looking at the shore again, starting from the road in the distance, there is a slender wooden bridge like a snake, which extends into the clear blue water. It looks like the catch from the wooden ferryboat was transported to the road via this wooden bridge.
Yesterday afternoon, Su He and Du Yunfei, who had explored the path in advance, had already set up traps here. At this moment, Duan Whale and Haichen were controlling two drones to take off, and a plastic container was hung under the fuselage, so they couldn't see what was inside.
The drone flew slowly to the west, and after more than ten minutes, it came to the area of the urban village with a long cypress.
Different from the cypress tree in the center of Z, this one in the urban village grows in a small courtyard. A few days earlier, the zombies who poured in from all directions to "worship" had already collapsed the courtyard wall, and by the way, brought down the back wall of the dry cleaner at the door.
The drone flew over the zombie-infested ruins and hovered above the Dian Bai. According to the operator's instructions, the unknown liquid in the plastic drum is emptied.
Muddy, concentrated sea water poured down from a great height and poured unbiased onto the trunk of the zombie tree.
I saw a puff of red smoke rising from the air, and the leaves of the Dian cypress twitched violently and stood upright. The spikes hidden under the blades poked in vain into the sky. But after a while, the transparent tentacles on the branches broke one after another and fell off one after another......
It worked!
After just five or six minutes, the original leafy zombie tree had shrunk into a ball, and the remaining leaves were like armor guarding the main trunk.
"Leave it alone." Su He reminded everyone, "Look at the reaction of those zombies. ”
The moment the zombie tree was attacked, the zombies around the tree suddenly stopped moving.
However, after only two or three seconds, they suddenly went berserk again, and scattered frantically in all directions like headless flies.
"It's now!"
Duan Whale and Haichen immediately carried out their original plan, and the two drones swooped down to a height of only two floors above the ground. Judging by the surveillance footage, the hum of the propeller quickly attracts the attention of the zombies.
Without the "mastermind" of the zombie tree, the zombies become the real walking dead. The two drones maintained a safe altitude, circled defiantly in front of their eyes, and began to slowly fly eastward.
As expected, the zombies began to run after the drone. The black press pressed hundreds of them, and it looked amazing.
"That's just too much." Lu Rulan was a little worried, "I can't do it." ”
"Prepare for triage."
Du Yunfei looked at the electronic map and began to command: "Lao Duan went forward along this road, and the first turn was to the right. Haichen can go to heaven. ”
"Okay."
Haichen manipulated the small drone to pull dozens of meters in one go, and soon had a panoramic view of the entire urban village.
Duan Whale's drone continued to fly according to the path Du Yunfei had chosen. Turn right and an alley will appear.
Due to the steep narrowing of the road surface, the crowd of corpses that followed had to reduce the "flow" and pass slowly.
The drone hovered at the end of the alley for a while, making sure that a hundred or so zombies followed, and then continued to fly east.
"Turn left at the next intersection, the alley is very narrow, be careful."
Du Yunfei looked at the electronic map while observing the bird's-eye view of the Haichen drone monitor. Under his clear command, the zombies are like express packages running on a conveyor belt, constantly being diverted and diverted. In the end, there were only twenty or thirty zombies left, and they chased the drone all the way to the small pier by the sea.
It's about the same in numbers, and it's time to "harvest" next.
Haichen handed over the controller of the small drone to Lin Youqing, and he, Lu Rulan, as well as Su He and Du Yunfei, boarded a wooden ferry.
From the walkie-talkie that Su He carried with him, Duan Whale's prompt came: "The zombies are coming, about three hundred meters away from the trap." ”
"Two hundred meters."
"One hundred meters."
The people on the wooden ferry boat could also see clearly - at the beginning of the wooden bridge that stretched into the sea, a group of black corpses appeared on the road.
The last remaining twenty-three zombies were running onto the wooden bridge under the guidance of the drone, and a drum-like sound suddenly sounded on the bridge deck.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Lu Rulan was the first to get excited: "The first trap was designed by me!" ”
"Don't look at it, your planks are so thick, it's going to be useless." Haichen poured cold water on him, "You have to remember what we bet on." ”
As he spoke, the group of black-pressed zombies had already rushed through the first trap. Sure enough, as Haichen expected, nothing happened.
Lu Rulan sighed, and she was only willing to lose. However, what made him laugh and cry was that the second trap designed by Haichen actually did not work, and the zombies still walked on the ground and passed quickly.
The gambling contract expired, but Lu Rulan had no intention of laughing at Haichen.
There are a total of three traps on this wooden bridge, and the last trap was set by Su He and Du Yunfei, and it is hidden at the end of the wooden bridge. If that doesn't work, they'll have to take a more dangerous approach to the zombies, or abandon the zombie hunt altogether.
However, Su He seemed to be confident.
When the twenty-three zombies completely ran into the final trap area, he gave instructions to Lin Youqing who remained on the freighter through the walkie-talkie. Lin Youqing pulled down the winch switch on the deck of the cargo ship, and the motor roared, instantly tightening a finger-thick metal cable.
The other end of this cable is tied to the railing of the wooden bridge. During the tension, the cable swept across the bridge deck at great speed. The zombies were caught off guard, and the front ones were cut by the cables, and the ones behind were swept all the way and fell off the bridge deck.
Around the wooden bridge, protective nets have been erected in advance, and the zombies and stumps that have been swept down have fallen into the net. Su He and the others slowly approached in a small boat, and pierced the zombie's brain with the sharp bamboo pole prepared in advance.
This obscene tactic was really effective, but in about half an hour, all the twenty-three zombies were cooked. After making sure that there were no more zombies lurking nearby, Su He instructed everyone to put the corpses into plastic bags and return triumphantly.
This harvest operation against Dianbai can be said to be a complete victory. The harvested corpse fluid refilled the pool outside the gate, the production of biodiesel was maintained, and Suhe's various mutation experiments were able to continue.
But they soon discovered that the butterfly effect caused by the destruction of the Dian Bai was far more complex than they had imagined.
If it can be summed up in just one sentence, it is "the crisis is starting to approach".
The next morning, the Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows drone routinely lifted off to check the safety situation in the surrounding area. It had only been five or six minutes since I flew out of Foguang Island, and two or three moving black dots appeared on the ground in the surveillance footage.
It's zombies.
"To be reasonable, in the past few months, it has never appeared so close to us, which must have something to do with the fact that we ruined Dian Bai."
At the emergency meeting, Haichen expressed everyone's common thoughts.
Eight hearts and eight arrows continued to fly in the air, slowly coming to the top of the urban village. I saw that the cypress still maintained a curled defensive posture, but after recovering overnight, those transparent tentacles had grown again, and were drawing energy from the zombies around it.
Lin Youqing tried to explain: "Maybe it was yesterday's chaos that caused some of the zombies that had lost control to wander near Foguang Island. Maybe in a few days they will be back with Dian Bai. ”
"But maybe they'll keep going south." Du Yunfei shook his head, "We must be fully prepared. 166 Reading Network
