Chapter 032: The Rat Swarm Siege City
No matter what happens, accept life quietly and happily, bravely, boldly, and forever smiling. -- Luxembourg
Li Baoqiang opened his coat and wrapped Zhao Xiaoxiao in his arms, and wrapped his arms around Zhao Xiaoxiao. Li Baoqiang looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao's smooth face like jade, and her small mouth as red as a cherry, and couldn't help but feel an urge to kiss her. Li Baoqiang suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there are meteors, it's so beautiful, let's make a wish."
Zhao Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned his head to look, looked left and right and didn't find it, only then did he realize that he had been fooled, and turned his head coquettishly, "You are so annoying, where is there..." Zhao Xiaoxiao's mouth suddenly touched something, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be firmly attached to Li Baoqiang's mouth waiting there. Zhao Xiaoxiao was a little panicked, but was quickly intoxicated by this feeling.
Zhao Xiaoxiao felt Li Baoqiang leaning down, and his snort sprayed warmly on her face, and then there were two thick lips, and she pressed down with stubbornness, she was a little panicked, closed her eyes tightly, and didn't dare to open them at all, feeling the wave of coolness on her mouth slowly warmed up.
Time is like this, it seems like a long time, and it seems like a moment, like a knot of snowflakes falling on the ice in an instant. Zhao Xiaoxiao slowly opened his eyes and saw Li Baoqiang's evil smile...... Li Baoqiang put his fingers to his mouth, looking proud. Then Li Baoqiang lowered his head and kissed him fiercely, for a long time, his lips parted, and both of them were breathing a little fast, Zhao Xiaoxiao avoided Li Baoqiang's eyes, lowered his head, and his face was slightly red
At the same time, Li Baoqiang's hands became restless, passed through Zhao Xiaoxiao's coat, and slowly climbed onto the girl's chest, Zhao Xiaoxiao struggled a little, and finally stopped moving. Li Baoqiang slowly rubbed Zhao Xiaoxiao's soft chest, the two peaches kept changing shapes in his big hands, Zhao Xiaoxiao was paralyzed in Li Baoqiang's arms, his mouth was panting, and his eyes were full of longing.
Li Baoqiang is no longer the first brother of kissing, since the breakthrough in the relationship with Zhao Xiaoxiao, the two hugging and kissing has become a must-do homework in this crisis-ridden apocalypse, dissipating the sadness in the last days, but due to the restrictions of the cold, dense population and other environments, otherwise the two would have found a place to start tasting the joy of both sexes.
"It seems that one day I will take Xiaoxiao to the Hidden Soldier Cave to have a look." Seeing the affection in Zhao Xiaoxiao's eyes, Li Baoqiang had a bad idea.
The two of them were in love with each other, sweet and sweet, but they didn't find a pair of hazy eyes staring at them for a long time, and finally disappeared into the dark night.
Happy days always go by quickly.
As soon as the Spring Festival passes, this part of Sichuan begins to warm up. The snow melts, the streams murmur, and the warm breeze from the south seems to tell people that spring is coming. Perhaps it is the reason why human industrial production and consumption have stopped, the sky is getting clearer, the sky is bluer, and the air is fresher.
Li Baoqiang found Professor Zhao, Zhang Juncai, Liu Junsheng and others to discuss the issue of spring ploughing. I hope that outside the village is a hillside land, if it is reclaimed, potatoes can be planted, the output of potatoes is very large, basically can guarantee the food rations of the villagers, and potatoes can be used as both vegetables and food, but it is a good thing. At the bottom of the hillside are paddy fields, where rice is cultivated in previous years.
Fortunately, Zhang Juncai searched for a few sacks of rice seeds, which were turned out from the victims' homes, and if they were a few days late, they would have been eaten up by the victims or eaten by rats, and finally there were rice seeds. There are still some potatoes, Zhang Juncai was so careful not to let the villagers eat them, and now they have all sprouted, which can be used as seeds. Potatoes are also a perennial crop planted by Sichuan farmers, and the villagers also have rich planting experience.
Zhang Juncai arranged for someone to build a conservatory, in the middle of the conservatory is a clay kang, from the outside of the stove to build a stove, the heat passes through the bottom of the pit, the conservatory is as warm as spring, Zhang Juncai spread a thick layer of moist sand on the kang, and began to breed rice seedlings.
Liu Junsheng is a madman in the production of weapons and ammunition, "one nitrate, two carbon, three sulfur", according to the gunpowder formula that the Chinese are most familiar with, Liu Junsheng has already produced several tons of black powder according to Li Baoqiang's requirements. In addition, he also found a few tons of fertilizer collected by Zhang Juncai, tested it several times, and finally made a few tons of explosives.
Black smoke was also rising from the cement kilns and salt pots outside the village, and the villagers who had eaten for their children were tirelessly mining, boiling salt, and making cement under the watchful eye of the armed soldiers, as if only physical and mental exhaustion could relieve them of their inner sins.
A large amount of coal, iron ore, cement, saltpeter, and sulfur have accumulated on the side of the inner city wall, and Li Baoqiang also asked the villagers to sprinkle a large amount of pulverized coal, sulfur, and saltpeter on the land outside the city wall, and spread a thick layer from the bottom of the hillside to the moat.
The villagers didn't know why Li Baoqiang did this, and they didn't know what they were going to do with the accumulation of so many supplies, but the busy people forgot these questions, and as long as they could work and have food, their hearts were full of hope.
"The plan of the year lies in the spring!" In particular, the first spring after the disaster held great hopes for the survivors. Everything is going on in order.
However, a cold spring came unexpectedly. This inverted spring cold is really powerful, in one word, cold. As soon as spring appeared, the stranded winter cold followed, and it rained continuously for several days, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the surrounding air was humid, which made people a little unbearable. In the middle of the night, it turned into an ice rain.
So the branches of the trees became thick strips of ice, and a thin layer of ice accumulated on the ground, and the raindrops continued to fall on the frozen branches, and on the eaves of the windows, they slowly formed icicles. When the sun comes out, the icicles sparkle under the sun's rays, and the freezing rain adds a touching scenery to the mountains and rivers, and at the same time brings frost to the villagers.
Li Baoqiang organized people to make charcoal pots, distribute coal, and explain the methods to prevent soot poisoning, and worked hard for half a day, finally so that the victims could spend the cold night warmly. Li Baoqiang looked at the time and saw that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and was about to go back to the conference room to drink some hot water and rest.
Suddenly, I heard a panicked voice from outside the village: "Run, the rats are coming, there are so many mice!" Li Baoqiang's heart suddenly raised his throat, and what he was worried about finally happened.
Li Baoqiang immediately rushed to the city wall, and the armed team members also followed closely to the city wall. Li Baoqiang asked several team members to rush to the suspension bridge in Wengcheng, twisted the suspension bridge with a winch, and ran up the city wall from the stairs himself. Outside the city wall, several villagers near the cement kiln were running towards the suspension bridge, behind them was a black oppressive mouse, and in the distance, the mice all over the mountain followed closely behind, like a dark cloud, more like a black flood, overwhelming, constantly pouring towards the castle.
Several villagers had already fled into the urn city, and the drawbridge had been slowly pulled up, and the last two villagers who ran watched the drawbridge rise, and then looked at the rats behind them, and shouted frantically: "Put it down, save us!" The team members looked up at Li Baoqiang expectantly, Li Baoqiang was fighting fiercely in his heart, and finally he let the team members pull up the suspension bridge.
With tears in their eyes, the team members turned the winch, the drawbridge was tightly attached to the gate of the urn city, and several villagers outside the moat stopped shouting hopelessly, and were instantly swallowed by several groups, their bodies twitched, and they howled in pain, and after a while, there was no sound, the rats scattered, a few white bones appeared on the ground, and the few cars parked outside the city wall instantly only left steel, and the team members were stunned, the attack power of this rat swarm was too terrifying.
The team members who had opinions about Li Baoqiang's failure to rescue the last few villagers just now suddenly understood Li Baoqiang's decision, Li Baoqiang was so ruthless, this is to save everyone. Li Baoqiang asked the team members to close the front and back doors of the urn city, and sealed the city gate with sandbags and stones that were usually stacked at the door.
Professor Zhao, Zhang Juncai and others also came to the city wall, and when they saw the black pressure of the rats outside the city wall, they were also panicked, Professor Zhao calculated that there were about 100,000 rats outside the city, which was simply terrifying, if the city wall was broken by rats, the people inside the city wall would die and have no place to be buried, everyone was worried in their hearts, but when they saw Li Baoqiang's calm demeanor, their chests were slightly relieved.
Li Baoqiang asked Zhang Juncai to quickly organize people to pull all the explosives and black powder to the city wall, and Li Baoqiang decided to let the rats taste the power of explosives. At the same time, Liu Junsheng pulled the two trebuchets under the city wall and prepared to project explosives packs. By this time, the rats had climbed up the walls through the moat.
However, there was a lot of ice stubble on the city wall, and the ice rain finally did a little bit of work, drenching the city wall into an ice city. The rats in front of them slid down after a few steps, and then crawled and then slid down, and some of the rats even frantically gnawed and ate the ice, and the front of the moat was densely covered with rats, and the squeaking sound shook the villagers on the city wall.
Li Baoqiang hurriedly asked some villagers to fetch water, constantly watering the city wall, the weather was cold, the water splashed on the city wall quickly became freezing, the ice wall was constantly thickening, and the rats lost the strength to climb the city wall, but they crowded forward and back, and continued to gather under the city wall. The bottom of the poor drawbridge had been eaten away, and the rats began to attack the gates of the urn city.
Li Baoqiang's counterattack also began. Liu Junsheng used a trebuchet to launch more than a dozen Molotov cocktails outside the city, and the incendiary bottles shattered after they hit the ground, and the gasoline in the bottles burned and scattered in all directions, igniting the sulfur on the ground at once, and the fire became fierce, and the coal dust and saltpeter were also ignited, and the rats suddenly fell into the flames, and the offensive momentum suddenly fell.
Indeed, the fire did play a huge role, and the rats danced samba in the fire, screaming in terror and scurrying around. The mountain wind blew slowly, the fire took advantage of the power of the wind, the wind helped the fire, a sea of fire, a red, and the fireworks stained the whole sky. Some rats were also burned, like a flowing flame scurrying around, increasing the burning effect, and the smell of barbecue mixed with the smell of sulfur and gunpowder came to their noses, and everyone couldn't help but sneeze.
The people on the city wall immediately understood Li Baoqiang's arrangement, it turned out that the coal dust and sulfur sprinkled everywhere were sprinkled in order to barbecue rats now
Ah, everyone couldn't help but be in awe of Li Baoqiang's thoughtfulness. "Wow, isn't this the hellfire of the legendary game! In ancient times, Zhuge Liang burned Chibi, and now there is Li Bao's strong flame barbecue rat, wow! The fat man didn't forget to tease at this time.
