94 Life and Death Rescue

After two days of intensive preparations, the preparations for the supermarket rescue are nearing completion. At the same time, the fourth typhoon of the year is also approaching.

The mood of the people on Foguang Island is very complicated - on the one hand, they hope that the typhoon will not bring too much damage to the island; But on the other hand, they hope that the storm surge will be larger and larger, so as to make the next rescue operation a little easier.

Twenty-four hours later, the typhoon arrived as scheduled. And as forecasted, landed on the shore in the south of province Z.

This is indeed a rare storm. Raindrops are flying, the waves are roaring, and the trees are swaying wildly in the wind, throwing out ink lines, and the artificial lake is swelling all the way to the retaining wall, and the road is full of rain, and even fish swim to the shore.

After a messy night in the wind, everyone walked out of the villa to check on the damage. It was found that the coastline had been severely deformed, and the beach and most of the aromatic plant area were submerged in the seawater, and the sea water even swelled to the vicinity of the construction site warehouse.

In addition, a small tree was blown down by the wind on the west wall of the vegetable greenhouse, but fortunately the hole is not large enough to be repaired.

After confirming that there was no damage to the hybrid power generation system on the cliff, everyone put the disaster aside for the time being and rushed to send drones to observe the situation on the shore.

After the typhoon, Z City was in shambles.

Due to the rapid spread of mutant plants, the foundations and walls of many buildings in the city have been eroded. When a storm hit, these buildings collapsed one after another, and the once prosperous and beautiful city turned into a huge pile of ruins overnight.

In low-lying areas, storm surges caused by sea water poured inland for several kilometres. Farmland and low-rise buildings have been washed away, and the water is covered with white foam.

Based on the coordinates, they quickly found that rainwater outlet on the coast. As expected, the raging water was noisily discharging into the sea, and from time to time large chunks of dirt could be seen floating out of the water.

And then there's the situation near the supermarket โ€“ thankfully, the building survived the typhoon. Perhaps because of the storm, the zombies around the building have also decreased by three percent, leaving only two or three hundred.

The time has not yet come, and everyone can only wait quietly.

In the blink of an eye, another 22 hours passed, and by six or seven o'clock the next morning, the drone confirmed that the water in the drain began to decrease significantly. Leaving Duan Xingze alone to watch the house, everyone brought all the equipment and jumped on the cargo ship towards the drainage.

According to Duan Whale's previous suggestion, the six people were temporarily divided into two groups. Duan Whale, Haichen, Du Yunfei and Su He entered the sewer to rescue, while Lin Youqing and Lu Rulan stayed on the boat to take charge of the response.

"You must come back safely." Lin Youqing advised.

"Don't worry." Before putting on the gloves, Duan Whale touched his cheek: "When I come back, we will take care of Xiaoxing together." โ€

Lu Rulan was even more nervous: "Doctor, my brother loves to be strong, you have to take good care of him." โ€

"Don't worry."

Du Yunfei nodded, while helping Su He put on the waterproof suit.

Haichen hurriedly pointed to himself: "And me?" โ€

Lu Rulan said awkwardly: "...... Your life is as hard as Xiaoqiang, how can there be anything. โ€

"Don't! What a big flag, you don't want me back, do you? โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Bah, you give me less crow's mouth! โ€

There are many more words to advise, but the opportunity to save people is fleeting. The four strikers quickly disembarked and stood on the breakwater next to the outlet.

On the way to the boat, the four men had already stopped in their costumes.

They wore waterproof clothing cut and glued together with rainproof cloth and metal tape. The trouser legs fit snugly with the galoshes. Put on gloves after the cuffs are tightened. Even he wears a hood, goggles, and activated charcoal mask on his head.

These are all Du Yunfei's requirements to reduce contact with sewage as much as possible.

In addition to this, each of them carried three rectangular metal fences that resembled screens.

Before setting off into the sewers, they opened the stacked metal fences and built a triangular protective cage around them. At the junction of each sheet of metal is a short metal rod that can be wrenched up and down. Hold them upright and insert a long stretchable metal rod between the tops of each other to form the handle inside the cage.

The cages are made of aluminum, which is very lightweight, and there are spinner wheels that have been removed from the food delivery truck. The triangular prism of the cage body design will not encounter much resistance even if it faces the water current.

With all the preparations done, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.

"It's a bit silly." Su He said honestly, "But whatever, safety first." โ€

"Let's go."

Duan Whale first pushed the cage into the sewer.

After a day and a night of drainage, the flow of water at the outlet has been greatly reduced, and now there is only a small stream of water that reaches the ankle. Everyone turned on the headlamp fixed to the hood, and it illuminated an underground world that no one had ever seen before.

The huge culvert more than two meters high is eerily deep and eerie, and after a short concrete pipe exit, they soon officially entered the underground tunnel area.

It looks more like an ancient catacomb, with a corridor about five meters wide and a semicircular vault of red brick pressed low overhead.

It was very quiet all around, and there was no sound except the gurgling of water.

According to the map marked earlier, they began to walk in the direction of the first manhole cover. About a minute later, I made a discovery.

โ€œzs-b-07ใ€‚โ€ Haichen used a flashlight to illuminate a row of small words on the wall of the slope below the manhole: "Found it!" โ€

Du Yunfei immediately took out the copied map and made a circle on the corresponding points to make a record. The relative bearing and distance from the next marker point are reported.

The distance between the manhole cover and the manhole cover is only 50 meters, and even if it occasionally goes in the wrong direction, it can be quickly corrected.

And every time he found a wrong fork in the road, Su He would throw a bottle of a mixture of thorns and super corpse liquid at the fork in the road. Plants that swell up in an instant will seal the intersection to avoid making the same mistake and prevent zombies from sneaking up in the shadows.

In this way, the four of them groped their way through the dark and damp sewers. Although the progress is not fast, it can be regarded as a steady progress.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed. According to the map marking, they were only half the way to the supermarket. Victory is in sight, but a crisis seems to be looming.

"Be careful, there seems to be light ahead."

Duan Whale asked everyone to turn off their headlights for the time being. In the darkness, the side about twenty meters ahead really showed a blue-white faint light.

Du Yunfei speculated: "Maybe there was a pipe gushing last night, and the manhole cover was washed away by the flood. โ€

Everyone followed the bright light to take a look, and saw that the inspection well inside the small door was indeed open with a large circular opening, and when they looked up, they could see the clear sky at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

Duan Whale reminded everyone: "This is a large residential area nearby, and it is likely that zombies have fallen. โ€

Su He sealed the inspection well with thorns, and everyone returned to the main road to continue their progress. However, after only a few steps, a group of dark green "ghost fires" appeared in the corridor ahead.

"There are six zombies." Du Yunfei reported, "Be careful, don't let them besiege a person." โ€

According to the previous plan, the four people immediately approached each other in pairs and twos, and fixed the protective cages of both sides together with metal buckles. This not only increases the overall weight but also prevents the protective cage from being pushed down by zombies; It can also be taken care of before and after, leaving no dead ends.

And when they "merge and transform", the zombies are also moving quickly.

The two fastest runners had just pounced in front of Su He and Du Yunfei's protective cage when they were hit in the head by a sharp weapon sticking out of the cage.

In just two or three minutes, the six zombies were solved โ–กโ–ก crisply. The four of them broke out again and continued to move in the direction of the supermarket.

The storm surge caused by the typhoon proved to be very helpful โ€“ and along the way, they found a number of sites suspected to have been eroded by the Dian Bai. There were signs of cracking and leaking water on the walls and even on the ceiling, and some of the obviously mutated huge roots even grew directly on the walls, but the transparent roots of the cypress could not be seen.

In the midst of an hour and a half of intense tension, they had a total of three waves of fifteen zombies in the sewers, and the protective cage always performed perfectly as expected.

Eventually, they arrived at the manhole head of the ZS-B-121. As long as you climb out of the manhole cover above, it is the back door of the supermarket.

After confirming the serial number at the bottom of the well, the four people quickly untied the metal buckle that fixed the cage and the spring protective net at the top of the cage.

The four separate triangular prisms quickly opened, rejoining each other head and tail, and turned out to form a huge circle composed of twelve sides.

They stood at the bottom of the well with the circular protective cage, and used the triangular brace hanging on the protective cage to firmly support the cage, and then climbed out of the cage one by one, climbed up along the iron ladder on the wall of the well, and soon touched the manhole cover.

Duan Whale lifted the manhole cover at a small angle and looked out, and saw the feet of a large group of zombies at first sight.

I can't go out yet, it's too dangerous.

There are at least three or four hundred zombies in ambush near the supermarket, and if they go out rashly, they will definitely die without a place to bury them - fortunately, they have already thought of a countermeasure.

Duan Whale took a chemical dye from Su He's hand and secretly sprayed it out from the cracks. Soon, a bright pink color appeared silently around the manhole cover.

"Color! There are colors! โ€

The drone that stayed on the top floor of the supermarket immediately observed the situation, and Lu Rulan excitedly informed Lin Youqing loudly. Another drone controlled by Lin Youqing quickly started to act.

Five strange fruits the size of a soccer ball were thrown from the drone's basket. The cyan husk "exploded" violently the moment it collided with the ground. With a popping sound of "bang, bang", the husk seeds scattered and splashed in all directions, and actually blew down two or three zombies.

The loud noise quickly attracted the attention of the zombies, and it was also a signal - informing Hu Siyu in the supermarket that he had begun to organize the children to walk to the back door and prepare to evacuate.

The two drones controlled by Lu Rulan and Lin Youqing were like vigorous harrier eagles, flying low and hovering above the zombies' heads. The corpses snowballed and chased the drone towards the main entrance of the supermarket.

Seeing the right time, Duan Whale quickly removed the manhole cover, and the four people climbed out of the manhole and ran a few steps to the back door of the supermarket.

Hearing the pre-agreed knock on the door, Hu Siyu quickly opened the door.

There was no greeting or greeting, Duan Whale, Haichen and Du Yun flew up and picked up a child and turned their heads and ran back. Su He pulled Hu Siyu, and the two of them were behind. 166 Reading Network
