Chapter 40: Evacuation

"Why not? We have 1.3 billion people, although most of them are in coastal areas. Yun Qi gushed endlessly, "But around N City, which is a transportation hub, there are at least one or two hundred million people, right?" Even if only one-third or one-quarter of these people are zombies now, there are at least 50 million. ”

"That's only five thousandβ€”"

"No, it's been a month since the outbreak, and the survivors who are confined to their homes are running out of food, no matter how much they save money." Commander Lin pondered for a while and then took Yun Qi's words. "They risk their lives to go out looking for food, which also increases the risk of getting infected, so there will be a huge explosion of infected people recently."

"What if the number of infected people increases rapidly?" General Du frowned, clenched his fists and said. "They won't leave where they came from, as long as we draw them out in groups and annihilate ......"

"No, the zombies will track our location." Yun Qi looked at Commander Lin, "I reported to you before, when the school was sticking to it, even if it was quiet, the zombies in the dormitory still moved to the student center to surround us, although I don't know what methods they use, but the living will definitely attract zombies." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

"That's too close, isn't it? If we had moved, we would have been surrounded by a large number of zombies in N City. ”

"The zombies won't leave until the survivors in N City are eaten, and it's too late for them to react after they've finished eating."

"Lao Du." Commander Lin was silent for a while, and then said earnestly. "Rightly or wrongly, this area is full of farmland and plains, and it is indeed dangerous to be surrounded by a steady stream of zombies."

"Even if you say that, what can you do now?" General Du spread his hands and replied in annoyance. "Evacuate with millions of people? What about food weapons? Where to remove? What about the corpses chasing behind and the infected on the road? ”

"This ......"

"Stay here and hold on, we can still dig trenches and build walls, make guns and bullets, and modify the terrain to meet the battle, no matter how many infected people are, we will not necessarily lose!"

"No, you're going to lose." Not only did she interject, Yun Qi also decisively came to a conclusion, and she said to General Shangdu's angry eyes. "The fortifications may allow us to hold out for a while, but they still won't change the situation, so everyone will still be killed by zombies."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The infected are very weak, and the situation on our side should not be so tragic. ”

"Commander, those things are corpses, and in addition to being deadly, they will bring a plague." Yun Qi said solemnly, "We can burn or bury what won't move, but what about what will move?" If we are surrounded by a large number of zombies, a plague will make us lose our combat power before they rush in, and it is difficult to say what will happen when we fight. ”

"So? You want us to evacuate? General Du clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Yun Qi coldly, "Wa'er is Wa'er, this is the last stronghold of the military's southern district, regardless of safety, where can you find a place where you can have a large amount of ammunition and food after leaving here, enough for a million soldiers to continue fighting?" ”

"But according to what classmate Zhaoyun said, it's not a way to stick to it, Lao Du." Commander Lin knocked on his knee and said with a headache. "If we are all infected here, it will only make it more difficult for people in other regions, and don't forget that if we die now, we will have one more enemy."

"But there's no other choiceβ€”"

"General, commander, why can't you choose both?" Yun Qi clasped his hands together, swallowed his saliva and said, "The military should still have the ability to supply in the air, take the empty road to transport some supplies to the mountainous area, build a defensive line, and the rest of the people stay here to delay most of the zombies, and then they can establish a safe base in the rear." ”

After Yun Qi finished speaking, the two old men froze for a moment and fell into deep thought in unison.

Not only that, but the others also looked at Yun Qi in surprise, Xia Xiyue bit her lower lip, her face gloomy; Du Wuyan and Du Wufeng both narrowed their eyes and looked at Yun Qi carefully.

According to Yun Qi's statement, this mention is equivalent to leaving most of the people to attract zombies, although it can indeed preserve the strength of the military, but it will also cost the lives of all the people - this cold method is actually proposed from a female college student in her twenties, which is unbelievable.

"This is the solution...... It is indeed feasible, and in fact there are staff officers who have mentioned it. Commander Lin said slowly. But basically the military doesn't think about this at all, do you know why? ”

"Because you think that those who stay will die at the hands of the zombies." Yun Qi tensed his body and tried to speak calmly, but he couldn't hide his nervousness. "But I don't think so."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why? Tell me about it. General Du picked up the teacup and took a sip, "After withdrawing most of the troops and supplies, how will the people here deal with the infected?" ”

"No, it's not about withdrawing a lot of supplies and troops, it's about evacuating a small part...... We have to leave enough manpower to resist the zombies, and try to drag most of the zombies here, so that the rear base can develop with peace of mind. ”

"Hmmm......"

"There are fewer people in the mountains, there are not many infected people, and they don't need much ammunition." Commander Lin nodded, "Don't put your eggs in the same basket, if this side falls, at least you can retain the roots of the human race." ”

"But those who stay will still die." Xia Xiyue suddenly spoke, and the unhappiness in her tone was obvious.

"No, since you have to delay time, of course you have to try to save their lives." Glancing at Xia Xiyue, Yun Qi continued to bite the bullet and said, "You don't need to dig trenches and build walls, just transform most of the buildings." ”

"Transformation?"

"Tear down the first and second floors and stairs, and move people above the third floor." Yun Qi asked for a pen and paper and began to draw a diagram, "I'm not sure if the ceiling should be demolished, I have to ask the architect for this part, in short, keep a distance from the zombies, it is best to live on the fourth or fifth floor, and the top floor will be converted into a vegetable garden." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Infected people don't crawl through windows? Or do they use the way of stacking arhats? ”

"Zombies don't have such an IQ, they can't even walk the stairs, and they have to use their hands and feet to climb...... I think it's unlikely. Yun Qi bit his lower lip and thought for a while, but then shook his head. If we were really able to climb, it would be very difficult for us to get out of school – but we could do something about it, such as blocking windows and so on. ”

"Hmm......" After looking at General Du, Commander Lin nodded, "It's worth trying, but what about food and water?" No matter how much you plant the top floor of the apartment, you can't fill too many people, so what about the water? ”

"The water part can be connected to the water pipe...... Yes, I don't know much about this, and if you want to eat food, you can rely on storing food, or even airdropping supplies to the army that migrated to the mountains. ”

"Is this necessary?"

"The longer the people here, the more they can always attract and contain the zombies to stay in this area, which is absolutely necessary."

"Classmate Yun, please give us a comprehensive overview of your idea." Commander Lin turned his head to look at the bodyguard behind him. "You go and arrange it, the regular meeting will be canceled, and an emergency motion will be held in an hour later, and all high-ranking generals, staff officers, and ministers will participate."

"By the way, I will find a few architects, as well as plumbers, designers...... Anyway, anyone with architectural experience called me. General Du said, "Wu Feng, you also go to help." ”

"Okay. I think that the most elite soldiers, the best men of all trades, and the young, able, and healthy people should be moved by air to the mountainsβ€”and it may be more appropriate to have an expert in this regard to be judged. Yun Qi took a deep breath, "The southeast of N City is Province C, where most of the terrain is high mountains or plateaus, and the population is not large, find a terrain suitable for defense, and at the same time cut off the outside connection to avoid zombie invasion." ”

"Meaning to blow up the road? Is this suitable for a counteroffensive? ”

"By air, uh...... Gasoline should be enough, right? ”

"Don't worry about that, go on."

"Oh, well, the people who stayed here began to relocate, and they tried to live as high as possible to shorten the distance between them and the zombies......" Yun Qi continued. At the same time, the rest of the buildings will be demolished to maintain the space, in addition to avoiding the spread of the epidemic in various settlements, a large amount of space can accommodate more attracted zombies. ”

"Doesn't the various settlements need to communicate with each other?" General Du tapped his chin and asked. "The spread of the epidemic is very troublesome, but it is better to be able to communicate normally."

"That's not a problem, after demolishing the building in the middle, you can consider using a rope ladder to connect."

"High-altitude rope ladder ......" Hearing Commander Lin say this, Yun Qi's hair stood on end, remembering the previous process of climbing the water pipe under the watchful eyes of hundreds of zombies; But she quickly threw this matter aside, anyway, the chances of her and Xia Xiyue staying here were quite low. "In the end, I think try not to actively hunt zombies, because fallen corpses have the potential to become stepping mats. As for the trenches...... If there is a surplus of manpower, how many zombies can be trapped. ”

"Well, so be it." Commander Lin nodded and stood up, "Your construction is good, we will consider it." ”

"I'm going to get busy again...... General Du sighed deeply, then looked at Yun Qi and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

"Uh...... Cloud prayer, cloud prayer, prayer of wishes. ”

"Very well, you helped the old man teach me a lesson." Suddenly, General Du raised his hand and gave a military salute, startling Yun Qi. "If there is anything in the future, you can come to the Du family...... Even if it's something that the Lin family can't do. ”

"That's enough for your mouth." Commander Lin glared at General Du suddenly, "Xiaorui, you can go back first, and grandpa will talk to you about something in a few days." ”
