75.Chapter 75
In addition to the sound insulation effect, the second reason for using metal flooring is that the metal floor has a very good thermal conductivity effect, which is much faster than that of wooden flooring, as long as the water temperature below is slightly warm, it can be quickly transmitted to the whole room, which can save electricity to the greatest extent, which is an advantage that everyone has not thought of before. Li Tie and the others also regretted that they hurriedly laid the wooden floor after learning about it.
Thirdly, the metal is very easy to control, and they have Yan Fei's ability, in case something goes wrong with the metal pipe under one of the floors, or if something needs to be temporarily rebuilt, Yan Fei can just open that part to replace it. If Li Tie's house broke down somewhere, they would have to lift the floor.
Of course, in addition to the advantages, there will still be many disadvantages, such as the heating place is hotter than other places, such as once the temperature is not adjusted well, stepping on the ground will inevitably be a little too hot. Another example is that the color of the metal materials they found now is too simple, and the inside of the house is either dark or shiny, either blinding or dark to the point of weirdness and horror, which is really difficult to control.
But under the premise that Luo Xun is going to use the next door as an overall greenhouse, these aesthetic problems are not a problem at all, as for the heating place, the temperature is relatively high? Therefore, Luo Xun remodeled this problem again, put the heating equipment on the ground, and only let the heated water flow into the various pipes under the floor, and added a relatively only temperature control device.
However, the renovation of 1603 has not been completely completed, because although Zhang Su gave all the remaining metal materials to the two of them as payment, those metals are not enough to cover all the floors after installing all the floor heating. So this spare house of Luo Xun's family now has two bedrooms left on the ground. They were going to take advantage of this outing to collect some metal materials from outside and add them in.
However, during this period, Luo Xun had already put the seeds of vegetables and crops that needed to be cultivated in the spring in advance and began to germinate in the greenhouse.
It is not possible to sow seeds immediately after the plant sprouts, and it takes a certain amount of time to re-cultivate, divide the seedlings, and observe the plants if they want to harvest well and prevent the appearance of mutated plants.
After all these miscellaneous things in the family are done, they will usher in the day when they are about to go out.
In order to cooperate with the time of Li Tie and several people, on the 27th, Yan Fei and his family rested at home for a whole day, and early in the morning of the 28th, Yan Fei, Luo Xun, Zhang Su, Wang Duo, Li Tie, Han Li, He Qiankun, Wu Xin, and eight people on the 16th floor got up together and gathered in the corridor.
After checking the weapons in everyone's hands - Luo Xun's family, Yan Fei's medium-sized crossbow is in his hands, and the matching crossbow bullets are also packed in each person's waist and backpack - for Yan Fei, who has made a lot of floor heating pipes and uses a metal mesh as fine as tulle every day to exercise his skills and abilities, it is so simple to go back and make these crossbows so simple that he can rub a lot of them out with a yawn.
In addition, Li Tie and the others also had a metal rod stuck in their waists, ready to be used to wheel zombies when they were close - of course, Yan Fei would change the iron rods of those in need into machetes after leaving the base according to the advice of each of them.
Luo Xun is holding his ancestral modified mace here, and Yan Fei is also carrying a metal stick, but what shape will it become when it comes to making it? It depends on how he uses it when he arrives.
Only Zhang Su was troublesome, and only brought a slightly longer military dagger - he originally wanted to still use the scalpel that came out of the hospital, but unfortunately the thing was too short and too powerful, and everyone protested against it before replacing it. He is a wind-type ability, and he usually likes to take the light route, and he doesn't like to use too heavy weapons to affect his movements.
"Okay, everybody, get ready to go." After Luo Xun checked everyone's equipment and situation, he stood in front of Li Tie and the others, put on his own helmet, Li Tie and the others also put on the motorcycle helmet they held in their arms and just collected and purchased from the base a few days ago, and even Yan Fei, who was still wearing an ancestral mask, and Zhang Su, who looked disgusted, also put on their helmets.
Put on the helmet, lock the door, the group of people sparsely walked downstairs, passing through the fifteenth floor when they met Xu Mei waiting here, saw this group of people wearing helmets, wearing thick leather jackets, long iron rods stuck in their waists, holding crossbows in their hands, and backpacks behind them (everyone here put a poncho ready to wear when they left the base) when she was startled, and a girl standing behind her was even weaker with her legs, and leaned directly against the door behind her.
"You...... Are you all ready? "There are a lot of people who dress up in this way to do tasks in the base, but they are still dressed like this inside the base, and everyone is highly uniformly dressed, which makes people feel that the sky is thundering in an instant.
It was Luo Xun who was the first, nodding at her and looking at the girl behind her - it also seemed a little familiar? "Who is this?"
"Her name is Song Lingling, and she met when she was out on a mission." Xu Mei didn't specifically explain Song Lingling's identity, but just pointed to the big iron door behind her, "She is moving in with me now." ”
Song Lingling...... This name is not very familiar, but Luo Xun took a closer look at Song Lingling's appearance - innocent and cute, and there is a kind of sweetness when she was not out of school, but her expression is the same as Xu Mei, somewhat gloomy and tired because of the pressure of life. This woman is probably also a member of the future Rose Mercenary Group, and her rank should not be low, otherwise she may not leave any impression at all.
Luo Xun nodded, Yan Fei and the others didn't have any opinions, Xu Mei, a woman, would not be so stupid as to find an unreliable person to act together after being betrayed by a man and being indecent just now. They talked about teaming up a few days ago when they asked Xu Mei to listen to the sound insulation effect upstairs and help her repair the gate by the way. Xu Mei has not found a suitable team so far, and she has to wait at the gate of the base for a long time every time, and she may not be able to find a reliable team to go out if she is eyed by a group of men all day. So after hearing that a few people were going to leave the base, and the minimum number of people who were still out of the base, he said that he was willing to team up with them, and he could also bring a more reliable teammate who would not cause trouble to everyone, and would not trick people. Only then did everyone agree to assemble this morning.
Xu Mei and the others had their own cars, and Li Tie and the others were also divided into two teams of people who each drove a car.
Luo Xun and the two discussed it last night, so they went straight to the small container truck early this morning and abandoned their usual gold cup - no way, who made it too thin? The capacity is not as large as that of a small container truck?
A group of four cars drove in the direction of the gate of the base, Luo Xun and the two of them started to register, and the name of the registration was still the embarrassing "otaku team", after receiving the required tasks out of the base, after seeing the items that needed to be paid and the number of "zombie crystal nuclei, one hundred", Luo Xun stepped on the accelerator and complained to Yan Fei: "I knew that we would find a way to go out half a month ago, why did we need to pay so many crystal nuclei at that time?" ”
Yan Fei smiled and didn't respond—half a month ago, when they were busy with work, how could they get out of the base lightly? Even if they wanted to ask for leave, the captain couldn't agree to it, and it was already extreme to let them go home early to rest and rest.
Driving into the designated passage, there were high walls on both sides, Luo Xun and his car turned into the patio, plus their four cars, this wave of doors can already be opened.
At the entrance, the gate slowly closed, and at the same time, soldiers on the wall shouted down with loudspeakers: "Attention all vehicles, the countdown to the opening of the gate is ten seconds - 10,9,...... 1. Open! ”
As his voice ended, the huge iron door in front of him, which had been pulled up little by little, slowly rose. Behind the iron gate, there was an iron fence that could reach the ground, and behind the iron fence, the zombies who could clearly smell the smell of humans waved their arms excitedly and let out hoarse howls from their mouths.
"It feels like they've been hungry for a long time." Luo Xun hooked the corners of his lips, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his heart was pounding. Unlike standing on the wall and shooting zombies, now he is going to leave the base.
Every man has an adventurous heart in his heart, even if he is very homely, even if he is too lazy to go to the base, but occasionally he will want to go out and kill zombies with blood. Now he is much safer than in his previous life, he is fully prepared, has several teammates with special abilities, and teammates who are relatively fixed and will not pit each other, I don't know how many times better than in his previous life!
The sound of the accelerator of the cars roared one after another, and they started to rush out the moment the gate opened.
The first was a few modified cars, which directly knocked the zombies blocking the gate into the air. Luo Xun and the others' cars were in the end, and they didn't rush to rush to the road, and waited for the cars in front of them to drive out before they followed closely. Sure enough, some cars in front of them rushed too quickly, and after leaving the gate, the wheels slipped and drove diagonally onto the side road on the side of the road, and it took a long time to adjust and return to the avenue.
Li Tie and his car followed closely behind Yan Fei and the others, driving all the way in the direction of a certain block on the edge of the city.
Now the zombies near the base are more concentrated, and a larger number of zombies are still entrenched in the urban area, only in some places on the edge of the urban area are relatively rare, Luo Xun and their target is this kind of place.
Although they have ranged weapons, they cannot attack more than one target at a time, so their ability to clear the field is relatively poor. If you encounter a zombie siege, you can only rely on Xu Mei's fire and Zhang Su's wind ability to clear the field, but unfortunately although Xu Mei has a fire ability, but because the ability ability is lower than Zhang Su and Yan Fei, a large-scale group attack fire ability can consume at least half of her mental power.
Although Yan Fei can also attack in groups, if you want to be efficient, it is best not to control too many metal arrows at the same time, otherwise it is easy to shoot the target accurately.
Therefore, after discussing with everyone, they decided to find a hunting place where the number of zombies is not too large, and everyone can slowly consume them one-on-one, and if necessary, they can also be brought over in large quantities, so that Luo Xun and Zhang Su's abilities can clear the hunting ground.
Nowadays, although the base encourages the survivors in the base to go out to destroy zombies, there are too few types of weapons that can be exchanged for huàn with points, and the lethality is not enough, such as hand guns, hunting guns, etc., which are expensive and ineffective, and they are not as good as the crossbows they carry with them to fight zombies, so Luo Xun and they simply did not redeem huàn. Only Yan Fei gave him some spare bullets for the pistol he had brought before the end of the world, but only a small part of it - he just wanted some experiments that could be disassembled, so that he could go back and try to assemble them himself, even if he made some solid ones, as long as the zombies could have an effect. You can leave it on your body for self-defense.
The car rumbled towards the expected target location, and Luo Xun looked around while driving, and finally selected an intersection.
"How about just up front? There is a two-story bank that can be used as a resting base, and the number of zombies nearby is not too large. Luo Xun gestured to a more conspicuous building at the intersection ahead.
Yan Fei nodded slightly, in this they will definitely be able to get some metal.
Seeing Luo Xun's car with the lights on the left, the car where Li Tie was behind hurriedly followed, and the next two cars followed closely.
After a group of four cars drove to the door of the bank, everyone looked at the glass gate that had been broken at some point, and muttered a little in their hearts - can such a gate stop zombies? Do you want to park in a different place?
saw that Luo Xun at the front actually stepped on the accelerator! I drove up the stairs and straight into the bank hall!!
"Damn! Still going to drive up the stairs?! Li Tie, Han Li, and He Gan in the car behind them burst into foul language, Li Tie and they remembered that the last time they went to Decoration City to move things, Luo Xun said that he would drive the car up the stairs - so it seems that he really has this kind of technology to drive up? You can ...... it yourself
was thinking about whether to find something to put on the stairs so that the car could drive up, when he saw that the car where Xu Mei's two sisters, who were originally following at the end, suddenly came over in parallel, and stepped on the accelerator - drove up!!
Even a girl can drive the car up the stairs, and she is still afraid of a wool?
The man's self-esteem stimulated Li Tie and the car behind them, which also belonged to the otaku team, also stepped on the accelerator and sped up violently - rush!
There were a few clicks, and the two cars drove up the stairs and parked in the bank hall with Luo Xun and Xu Mei.
"Oh my God, that's exciting." He Qiankun, who was in the back car, patted his fat chest and sighed.
Han Li on the side patted his head: "Don't sigh, go down and fight zombies." ”
There were several zombies wandering in the bank hall, and Luo Xun and Xu Mei, who rushed in first, had already gotten out of the car and were cleaning up separately at this time. Li Tie and the others hurriedly followed, picked up the iron rod in their hands, and it didn't take long to put down all the zombies here.
"Collect the crystal nuclei in their heads, be careful, make sure they are completely dead, lest they play dead." Luo Xun instructed, walked to the nearest zombie and began to dig crystal nuclei.
Today's zombies don't have much IQ, dead is dead, and generally there will be no deliberate pretending to be dead. But not necessarily in the future, some zombies with some intelligence will deliberately fall to the ground, and only when people walk over to dig up their crystal nuclei will they burst out and hurt people.
Luo Xun's words made Xu Mei and Song Lingling, two girls who often go out of the base to do tasks recently, were startled, they were lucky enough not to meet zombies who had not died before, so after hearing this, they directly took out the machete they carried with them and walked to the zombies - go down with a knife, cut off their heads first and then dig up the crystal nucleus!
Li Tie, who felt that it was very disgusting to rummage through the crystal nucleus from the brains of the zombies' heads, blushed and glanced at each other-they couldn't even compare to women! Isn't it just digging crystal nuclei? Isn't it just brains? Dig!!
Yan Fei looked at Li Tie with satisfaction, and they squatted down to dig the crystal nucleus with a white face, and glanced at Zhang Su, who was smiling but not smiling, - it seems that it is not bad to have two capable women in the team, especially these two women are very knowledgeable and their strength is acceptable, with the two of them as role models, they don't have to bother to adjust and teach Li Tie these five good babies to learn badly.
After digging up the zombie's head, Li Tie and a few people quietly ran to a corner of the bank and vomited collectively for five minutes, before they forced their pale faces and pretended to be okay and returned to the place where Luo Xun and them were, in front of the window of an office on the second floor.
"The previous sound has attracted some nearby zombies, we stayed in the hall on the first floor, I just deliberately threw a towel that wiped sweat in the hall on the first floor, and after a while, we can slowly shoot the zombies that follow up by blocking the staircase door." Luo Xun stood in the middle of the crowd and explained the next action to everyone.
This was his knee-jerk reaction, after getting along with Li Tie and them for a long time, and when most of the people present had not been out of the base many times, Luo Xun subconsciously brought out the experience and habits of his previous life.
Fortunately, because he is usually a more organized and meticulous person, there is no objection to such behavior. As for the two ladies Xu Mei and Song Lingling, because they are not very familiar with each other, they naturally do not have any questions. What's more, because Luo Xun and the others have always brought the impression of "powerful" to these two ladies, no matter who is in charge of commanding and commanding them, the two of them will not be curious or surprised.
After arranging the manpower, Luo Xun led everyone to take the staircase as a stronghold and began to clear the zombies who had gathered on the stairs and rolled up and rolled step by step with difficulty.
"It's really the same as Brother Luo said! Zombies don't climb stairs! Seeing this scene, Li Tie and the others excitedly raised the crossbow in their hands and began to shoot at the zombies under the stairs.
Luo Xun and the others didn't make a move, but with a parental expression of "my family has a child who has just grown up", they watched Li Tie shoot the little zombie with a smile.
Zhang Su and Yan Fei stayed at the end, in case a zombie went off the beaten path and rushed in through the window from the outside to attack suddenly.
Xu Mei and Song Lingling are behind Luo Xun and in the middle of the team, responsible for helping if Li Tie and the others in front of them can't stand it.
After a while, everyone gathered the zombies who were close to each other and were attracted by the sound of everyone's car just now, and they were shot by Li Tie and others before they formed a team and returned to the hall on the first floor.
They want to use this bank as a base point to attract zombies to slowly gather in place, and then destroy them one by one.
Luo Xun didn't plan to go deep into the city from beginning to end, and after the group returned to the hall on the first floor, they piled up all the corpses of the zombies in one corner, and then asked Li Tie to pile some furniture, cabinets, chairs and other things from the bank into a fence that could be defended at the gate, and Yan Fei manipulated the metal objects on these things to insert them into the ground and connect them together, barely reinforcing it.
Li Tie and the metal crossbow arrows they used when they were just fighting zombies, Yan Fei waved his hand casually, and those small things flew out "brushing and brushing", condensing into a ball in front of everyone, rubbing and kneading and separating, turning into crossbow arrows that met the standards......
Yan Fei can only extract the metal through this method, and whatever the liquid in the zombie's body or the blood in the human body that touches it will be "filtered" out because of this.
Although I don't know what the specific principle is, since Yan Fei can only manipulate metal, he can naturally eliminate all non-metallic things through this method, even if those things are dry on metal.
After everyone finished the fortifications, Luo Xun took out a cloth bag tightly wrapped in N layers from his backpack, and when he opened it, he revealed the blood-red, transparent plastic bag sealed inside-blood bag!
This thing was brought out by Zhang Su from the hospital by virtue of his position, and when everyone set a day to go out, Luo Xun instructed him to let him get a pack of this thing from the hospital a day in advance, so that everyone could avoid bleeding after coming out - although the wound would not be infected by the zombie virus if it was not caused by zombies. But when you go out, if you accidentally let the wound touch something dirty, and you don't find it at the time, once you become a zombie, everyone will be miserable.
Taking out this blood bag, everyone watched as Luo Xun stretched out his hand to Yan Fei, and Yan Fei directly pulled out a piece of metal out of nowhere and instantly made it into a long strip and sent it to his hand. Luo Xun opened the blood bag a little bit and "squeezed" out some blood into the groove of the metal bar, and threw it directly about a meter outside the fortification, and quickly sealed the blood bag and wiped off the blood stains on the seal - the paper used to wipe the blood was also thrown out, and the blood bag was densely wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside.
Yan Fei, on the other hand, temporarily sealed the blood into the inner wall of the metal after the metal bar hit the blood, and waited for Luo Xun to throw it on the ground before controlling the shell to "open" it, allowing the blood to flow to the ground.
"Luo, Brother Luo, is this little blood enough?" Wang Duo looked at Luo Xun's cautious movements with some concern.
Luo Xun packed the blood, looked up at him and smiled at him and pointed in a certain direction: "Listen." Everyone hurriedly held their breath and faintly ...... Something really seems to be howling!
Zombie! It's a zombie!
