67.Chapter 67: The Second Outbreak of the Zombie Virus!
After parking the car, Luo Xun and the two walked into the barracks side by side, and as soon as they entered, they saw a person waving to the two from afar outside the truck they usually ride.
"Is something wrong?" The two were stunned for a moment and hurriedly quickened their pace.
"Let's get in the car, we have to get over early today." Seeing the two coming, the captain hurriedly signaled the driver to prepare to leave.
"Yesterday afternoon, a large number of zombies rushed outside the base, and many of them became more agile than before, attacking the defenders at the time, killing five fighters, in addition to two metal abilities...-" The captain had a heavy look in his eyes, "also died." One was killed on the spot, the other was wounded, and then turned into a zombie and had to ......"
The car was filled with a heavy atmosphere, and Luo Xun and Yan Fei were silent for a while and asked, "How were they injured?" Did the zombies jump into the base? ”
The captain shook his head slowly, and before he could speak, the only metal-based powerhouse in the car except for Yan Fei said angrily: "They didn't build the wall according to our method at all!" The second team is directly hanging on a rope and hanging outside! That's just the loss of two people at once! ”
Yan Fei and Luo Xun looked at each other again, although they were surprised, they didn't understand why the other party did this, after all, it was easier to control the metal directly with their hands, maybe it was because they couldn't manipulate the metal to perform remote and subtle operations.
"Where's Xiao Li?" Luo Xun asked a little strangely when he saw that there was one less supernatural person.
"The superior asked us to transfer someone to the second group, so I let him go first." This is also one of the reasons why the captain is unhappy, because of their mistakes, they lead to the damage, and in the end they have to forcibly split their own team to make up for it. What is even more unpleasant is their previous irresponsible decision!
This incident caused everyone in the car to be immersed in anger, for the sake of those who died, for those who made decisions about this matter, and for the same sake of the crazy zombies outside the base.
Because the second team had heavy damage, the ability transferred from the first team this time had to help the other team work, and also instructed him on the specific operation method of using the ability from a distance. After all, the reason why they didn't work according to a set of methods before was because they didn't have a thorough grasp of this method, and they didn't think it was a waste of crystal nuclei.
"Captain, now that there is only one person left in the second team, why not just merge the two teams?" It's not as convenient to transfer one person from one group to the second team as it is to merge the player from the second team directly into the first team, so why do you want to do more?
The captain also looked helpless: "The base is worried about what problems will occur if the ability is overused, and the two teams have been working separately before, and the work efficiency is not bad, so this decision was made." "In fact, the main reason is that the research on the crystal nucleus on the base side has not yet reached a final result, what if the supernatural uses too much crystal nucleus and affects themselves? For example, if you use it and suddenly become a zombie or something? The base didn't dare to let these people spread out their abilities until they had thoroughly verified the situation.
It didn't take long for the car to stop at the edge of the fence, and the captain began to cheer up the rest of the people: "Okay, everyone cheers up, although there is one less person, everyone has been working well all the time, and we will continue to work hard in the future!" "Today's crystal nuclei have increased due to the lack of two people, and the number of crystal nuclei evenly distributed to the remaining metal-based abilities has increased, as long as the bodies of the two abilities can keep up, they can use these things at will.
Yan Fei and another Stranger were the first to climb the wall, Luo Xun followed him, holding the crossbow in his arms and glancing out, sighing slightly in his heart - there were more of them.
The zombies are like sharks smelling blood, and every time everyone tries to kill them as much as possible during their work, and when they leave, the number of zombies on the side of the city wall has become smaller, but when they come over the next morning, they can see a considerable number of zombies surrounded by the city wall again.
And what happened yesterday afternoon, it seems that because of the smell of blood, the zombies farther away smell the smell and gather in this vicinity - the blood that was sprinkled in the zombie group is not so simple to clean up, so this blood has become a perfect sign, waving a small hand to the zombies and telling them: There are a lot of delicious foods here~ Let's have a meal together!
Seeing the figure on the city wall, the zombies were excited again and waved their arms, and some even tried to jump up to the wall, trying to catch a few and eat them, just like yesterday afternoon.
A soldier fired a shot with a grim look, killing a zombie and causing the nearby zombies to rush here even more excitedly.
"Okay, calm down, let's continue to act according to the previous work assignment." The captain shouted a few words and began to schedule the work.
The city gates not far away are opened every once in a while, releasing a group of vehicles and military vehicles that are about to leave the city.
The outer gate of the castle was built with sufficient manpower, so the design was reasonable. The gate to the city is divided into a pedestrian entrance and a vehicle entrance, and outside both entrances are heavily armed soldiers in armored vehicles. The gates out of the city are divided into two groups, the inner and the outer ones, and between the two groups there is a place with high walls on all sides, which, once closed, becomes a tight, impossible to climb like a large patio.
People who want to leave the city need to enter the patio after registration, and when a certain number of vehicles are gathered, the inner door will be closed and the outer door will be opened. As soon as the gates opened, all the cars rushed out at the same time. If a zombie takes the opportunity to wander into this patio, when the outer gate is closed, the soldiers on duty on the city wall will shoot them.
Luo Xun and their current work is a long distance away from the gate, can only faintly hear the sound of cars roaring, whenever the gate is wide open, you can see the cars in the distance frantically accelerating towards the street outside, quite a kind of illusion of sitting on the audience to watch the car.
Yan Fei and another metal-based powerhouse named Sun Shaoyang each grabbed a piece of metal as if by magic, the metal seemed to have its own vitality, and it squirmed downward like mud in the left hand of the two people who had no manual control at all, slowly forming a metal pipe, and the attention of the two of them seemed to be completely absent from this self-changing metal pipe, and the other hand continued to "grab" one piece of metal after another from the large piece of metal beside him, fusing into the top end of the metal pipe held by his left hand, As the metal above increases, these metal pipes continue to extend downwards until they touch the upper edge of the metal wall below, and then the metal liquid "drips and merges" onto the metal wall.
During the work of the people, Captain Guo was called away again, and only after about half an hour did he return to the vicinity where the people worked, and saw that Yan Fei and Sun Shaoyang had both worked to a certain extent, and when they were resting, they went to the two of them and summoned the others to come: "Didn't the earth powerhouse have already raised all the inner walls to six meters before?" But because our work has not yet been completed, and the second group was seriously damaged yesterday, the leaders decided to change the previous plan and let them first go to the inner wall to increase the height and thicken the inner wall, and directly make a ten-meter-high inner wall. ”
As he spoke, he explained to everyone: "The inner city wall is different from the situation here, even if it is built high, we can not be afraid of zombies making trouble next to it, and no matter what method is used, we can build it as much as possible." Here, on the other hand, we need to work hard to speed up the process so that we can repair all the walls before those earth-based adepts are finished, and there are new tasks waiting for us afterward. ”
The faces of several soldiers were a little unpleasant: "What mission, boss?" ”
The captain pointed in the direction of the city wall: "We don't need to think about it for the time being, but it is said that someone asked us to build the wall and install some barbs on the wall." ”
As he spoke, he took out a drawn drawing, which was not really barbed, although it was also in the shape of spikes, but these spikes were sticking out from the wall, and the tips were diagonally towards the outside wall, once installed, it could prevent the zombies under the city wall from jumping on the wall if anyone had super bounce power and really jumped onto the wall all at once, which could have the effect of blocking.
Only the metal powerhouses present have a say in this matter, and none of them has the highest say than Yan Fei, who has improved the method of building the wall before.
Groping his chin, Yan Fei thought for a moment and said: "This thing itself is not difficult to make, but if you want to make the effect on this drawing, the metal wall itself must have enough load-bearing capacity, that is, the metal wall must be thick enough." With the current thickness of only 10 centimeters, once installed, the entire metal wall may collapse to the outside. ”
Several soldiers couldn't help laughing, and one soldier smiled: "It's not bad, at least you can smash the zombies around the wall to death at once." ”
The captain scolded the soldier with a smile, and then looked at Yan Fei and the others: "Then if you want to install these things, how thick do you need to hit the metal wall?" ”
Yan Fei spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know about this, the captain might as well report it, there must be experts in construction in the base." ”
The captain patted his head and looked at what he asked, are these two of his subordinates professional in repairing houses? They only have the ability to manipulate metal, and they haven't learned to build houses professionally.
"There's no rush for this thing, I'll talk about it when I come back and ask, and even if it is to be built, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the outer wall is raised to about ten meters before I have time to think about this problem, which is not realistic now." Putting the drawings back in their pockets, and seeing that everyone was almost rested, the captain asked them to continue to work.
As Yan Fei and the other Adeptus became more familiar with the operation, the frequency of everyone transporting metal to the wall was much faster. Even if the small pieces of metal were counted, the oversized steel plates had to find a way to lean on the edge of the city wall first, and then find a way to transport them up little by little after some of them were used.
A truck loaded with a large amount of metal materials was parked at the feet of the two men, ready to transport all kinds of materials to it.
At this time, the captain silently considered whether to go on like this and wait for the wall to be built for about ten meters, should he deliberately get on a crane on the side? Helping to lift the metal up? If you don't have the worst of all, you have to prepare a bulldozer or something to help shovel metal on it, right?
I have to say that after losing someone, both of them subconsciously sped up a little faster, and the time for a break in the middle was also reduced, both of them made full use of their time as much as possible, and they could build more. Finish the fence early, and although you still need to continue the work, the safety is much better.
On both sides of the wall, there are still many soldiers who lie on the wall to fight zombies, and now there are these zombies under the wall to target everyone, even the worst marksmanship soldiers have been practiced during this time, and their marksmanship is much stronger than before the end of the world.
The efficiency of the people who take turns to be in charge of the rope and dig the crystal nucleus has also improved a lot, and the cooperation between them has become more and more tacit, and the number of crystal nuclei harvested by everyone has also increased exponentially.
It's been a busy morning, and the people who take turns to help carry metal materials are tired enough to choke on the car at noon, not to mention Yan Fei's two metal abilities. After all, although the number of people in their team is not small, it is not very large, there are only about ten people in all, but there is not much to do.
Through the equally tall inner city gates, the group returned to the barracks. Luo Xun and the two dragged their tired bodies slowly to the No. 3 canteen, took out the lunch box and made food.
"The food is getting worse and worse." Luo Xun sighed in a low voice, there was no meat in their two dishes today, but fortunately, the cafeteria gave them an egg very considerately. Yes, there was only one egg in the two dishes ordered by the two.
"Didn't you hear that Canteen No. 4 was already using that kind of small ham sausage full of starch instead of meat?" Yan Fei smiled and put the lunch box into his backpack, "Let's go, I'll eat when I go home." ”
The problem of food deterioration in the cafeteria is not too big for the time being, but if the overall amount of food decreases, it will be a change from quantitative to qualitative.
The two got into the car and drove in the direction of their home. A distance east of the barracks and south of the Hongjing community is a large piece of farmland, which has now been enclosed off to a new residential area to house the high-level family members who were rescued by the military a few days ago and who were originally in the base. The rest of the farmland has now been fully cultivated, and it looks like it will be time to start cultivating in a few days.
On the way back, the two of them will pass through several streets that are now more prosperous in the base, and the base has placed some cue huàn windows at several intersections, through which ordinary people can exchange huàn food and other supplies. Nowadays, most of the points in circulation in the base are points, which are more suitable for consumption than the instant noodles that are mainly circulated after entering the base. And those instant noodles, biscuits and other things because they are consumables and food, are now more and more valuable, and more people are not willing to take them out and exchange them with others.
It didn't take long for the two of them to see the tall high-rise buildings in the Hongjing community from a distance, turn the road in front of them, and pass through a long queue to buy lunch, and it won't be long before they can go back.
Yan Fei's spirit was slightly tired, and he was cultivating his spirit with his eyes closed.
Luo Xun was engrossed in driving, and for the third time avoided the people suspected of touching porcelain - yes, there were only a lot more people touching porcelain after the end of the world, and many people would follow others to cooperate with them, and suddenly rushed out and pounced on the car, and when the driver didn't dare to speed up and really hit someone, his accomplices would rush out and surround the car, forcing the driver and the people in the car to come up with some benefits.
Luo Xun and they had encountered it once before, but unfortunately Luo Xun's arm would bind a crossbow at any time as long as he went out, and after shooting through a person's foot, those people behind him ran away under the threat of the ensuing "steel needle".
It seems that today's group of people just arrived in this vicinity, and it is not clear that Luo Xun and their cars are not soft persimmons, so they rushed over recklessly - in fact, they can't be blamed, who let these two people love to drive a tattered broken gold cup all day long? Didn't you see that most of those teams with special abilities drove all kinds of off-road? The worst thing is that the car is still in good shape?
Just when Luo Xun felt annoyed and wanted to simply step on the brakes to give two crossbows to those people outside who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, suddenly, a scream came from the sidewalk not far away.
Yan Fei opened his eyes at the same time, and looked out of the car window with Luo Xun with a sharp gaze - zombies! There are zombies on the streets!
When the two of them were stunned, they suddenly heard someone screaming from the other direction!
Glancing at each other, Luo Xun quickly stepped on the accelerator - if it was just one or two people who suddenly turned into zombies, it could be understood as an accident, but he clearly saw that in addition to these two people, there were obviously people on the side of the road whose faces had changed wrong!
This is the second outbreak of the zombie virus in the base!
Luo Xun immediately made a judgment in his heart, stepped on the accelerator of the car to the maximum and drove quickly towards the gate of the community, and explained to Yan Fei: "I saw that there are still some people on the side of the road who don't look right, I suspect that it may be similar to the situation of the three bases that were destroyed before!" "It's not clear why, but this time the situation came so suddenly and urgently, they had to go to a safe place to get through the crisis!
Luo Xun knew about the fact that there had been an internal outbreak of zombies in the southwest base, but he didn't know the specific time. At that time, he didn't inquire about this matter in detail, but he heard the old residents who had been in the southwest base say this, knowing that the second outbreak of the zombie virus was not long after the southwest base was established, and it was quickly suppressed.
But after all, it has been a long time since Luo Xun arrived at the southwest base in his previous life, and this kind of thing has happened in almost every base, but some bases have not survived and have been completely destroyed.
"Well, you just drive, I'll take care of the rest." Yan Fei's expression became a little stricter, but he didn't seem to be nervous. They have faced a lot of things since the end of the world, they have experienced strong winds and waves, and they can also survive the wind and waves again!
Take out the crystal nucleus in your pocket and replenish your spiritual power. He originally wanted to just go back and get a good night's sleep in the afternoon, but he didn't expect to encounter such an accident. Fortunately, he had already developed the habit of carrying all the crystal nuclei with him, so that in case of any accidents, there would be a few spare crystal nuclei outside the inner pocket and in the outer pocket.
Luo Xun and the two of them were not the only people who noticed the abnormality on the street, and the crowd reacted immediately after the initial shock - all the people who entered the base were basically people who had experienced "strong winds and waves".
Whether it is morning or night, most of the people have faced zombies directly after the end of the world, and many people have even killed zombies with their own hands. However, it is a pity that there are still many people who have lived nearby and have not faced this situation directly after the end of the world because of the timely response of the military, so there are not a few people who are in a panic after the incident.
The panicked people ran frantically, but the people who reacted in time were able to quickly enter the state, and some people who had experience in fighting zombies also grabbed the things they could catch as weapons at this time, and ran back to their respective residences while overturning the zombies that blocked them.
However, it is a pity that although there are many zombies on the street, most of them will accidentally hurt the people nearby while fleeing for their lives and struggling.
Luo Xun drove to the gate of the community, but he found a headache - I don't know who closed half of the gate of the community, and now the people who run over can only desperately squeeze into the other half of the gate!
Who closed the door?!
Well, it's not that I can't understand what the person who closed the door is thinking, it's just that I'm afraid that the zombies outside will chase in, so I want to close the door in advance. But the problem is that it's not just zombies who are following behind to enter the door!
Several zombies have already caught up with the crowd and pounced on those blocking the entrance of the community!
The screams rang out again and again, Yan Fei opened the first-line car window, ready to use his mental power to control the other closed door, suddenly, he saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
It was Xu Bin and his subordinates who had troubled him and almost killed him.
Those few people who followed Xu Bin still took care of him at this time? Instead, he drilled a little further ahead than him. At this time, the person who followed Xu Bin was the female college student who had met at the gate of the community two days ago and secretly followed them into the community to see where Yan Fei and they lived.
Yan Fei's movements slowed down slightly, and he saw a zombie pounce next to Xu Bin, and Xu Bin, who reacted in time, did not hesitate to push the female student who was in his arms seeking protection in front of the zombie!
The zombie doesn't care what people are pushed in front of them, it only has food in its heart and eyes, since the food takes the initiative to give it away, it will not politely push it at all, and it will take a bite when it bows its head, and the blood is wanton and the screams shake people's eardrums.
