Chapter 63 Encounter
Unconsciously, more than two weeks have passed, Peng Yeming has gradually become accustomed to the life in the safe zone, after all, compared to the days when he was worried every day in the past few months, and he was afraid that he would never go back every time he went out, although his life was boring now, he no longer had to be tormented by precariousness and mental tension all the time, which had already made Peng Yeming's heart full. Because he used to be engaged in mechanical processing and production, he was naturally assigned to the engineering department, and in the half month of the "large-scale production of weapons", he can be regarded as contributing his own strength.
Along with the "large-scale production of weapons" is the "large-scale training of the whole people" campaign. All men between the ages of 18 and 35 in the security zone and in good health are integrated into the militia. Every morning, when the sun is still not shining, train for hours. As an auxiliary unit of the rescue team, the militia team needs to enhance its actual combat skills, so it does not engage in fancy work such as queue training, mainly training in bow and crossbow shooting, spear assassination, throwing Molotov cocktails, and manipulating defensive equipment.
There were already more than 100 pairs of crossbows and pulley bows in the safety zone, and in the past two weeks, the rescue team has collected more than 200 pairs and more than 5,000 carbon arrows of various types. Because arrows are not purely disposable consumables like bullets, they can be reused, so everyone can practice them adequately. The crossbow is popular because it is easy to operate and easy to master shooting skills, and an ordinary man can easily shoot a standard humanoid target at a distance of 30 meters after only half a day of training. If you are a talented person, you can use a large black hawk with a scope to improve this score to 100 meters.
Compared to the crossbow, the pulley bow is not as popular. Although it is very troublesome to wind the crossbow with both hands every time you wind it, you can aim with your hands for a long time, and it is very easy to shoot. The use of a pulley bow is not so easy, it takes a certain amount of arm strength to pull the bowstring first, and it is also an impossible task for most modern people who lack exercise to open the bow for a long time; As for the arrow, aiming, and loosening the string, these are more technical work, and without the guidance of professionals, the result can only be that either the arrow does not know where to shoot, or the bowstring hurts itself. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, Li Ce is a master of bows and arrows, a half-body target fifty meters away, he can basically do the arrow without missing, and he can shoot three arrows in ten seconds without panting or shaking his hands, which makes the people on the side dumbfounded.
Li Ce is not very gregarious on weekdays, and he looks like a young master of a rich family. When the personal particulars were registered, the 25-year-old had no diploma and no work experience, and as a result, he was considered a vagrant. Because of his strong physique, the organization mobilized him to join the rescue team, but he simply refused. With no professional skills, he had to be regarded as a strong laborer, working in several departments, as a handyman and porter. This time he was powerful at the shooting range, which attracted everyone's attention, and as soon as the beads were shot, it immediately caused a group of beautiful girls on the sidelines to scream.
The next day, there was gossip that Li Ce was the rich second generation of a large private enterprise, and the family business ranked relatively high in the Forbes list. Although his academic performance has not been good since he was a child, he has played all kinds of sports well, and as for archery, he has been guided by famous teachers since he was a child, so it is not a problem to participate in the Asian Games in terms of level. 's extraordinary family situation, coupled with Li Ce's height of 180, is quite handsome, and everywhere he goes, he attracts a group of girls with peach eyes, and he has the potential to catch up with Wei Jue. It just so happened that the entertainment room of the hotel was playing "New Water Margin" in the past two days, and since then, the nickname of "Little Flower Rong" has not gone away.
The militia numbered more than 700 people, and there were only about 300 crossbows, so they had to be given priority to those who had a talent for archery. The rest of the people could not be bare-handed, so they were prepared with spears. This spear is a real "long" spear, with a sword-shaped blade of 30 centimeters, and the barrel of the gun is a full four meters. The blade of this spear is made of tool steel, and the barrel of the miscellaneous wood weighs seven or eight kilograms, so it is impossible to imagine that in martial arts movies, it is impossible to dance like a tiger and a tiger, and water cannot splash in. The request of the higher authorities was that the militia with spears stood behind the soldiers, and if they found a fish that had slipped through the net and climbed up the wall, they would stab it hard.
Through the efforts of the chemical industry team during this time, thousands of incendiary flasks have been made. In the operation of going out to collect substances, the Molotov cocktail played a good role in expelling and isolating mutants. However, after all, the Molotov cocktail is not a grenade, and it also has the disadvantage of being too large and inconvenient to carry. And throwing Molotov cocktails does not require throwing as far as possible, and throwing accurately is the correct way to use. In addition, as a one-time consumable, it is not possible to practice throwing with live ammunition. Later, a video game fan otaku came up with an idea to learn the method of the Soviet army in "Mission 2", using sweet potatoes as a substitute for throwing training, and for this purpose, he also "borrowed" hundreds of sweet potatoes from the kitchen, and then put a large aluminum basin in the middle of the staff basketball court, and everyone stood outside the courtline and threw it into the basin. However, the training was stopped after only one session.
The first reason for the suspension was that after the training, the sweet potatoes were all broken and could no longer be eaten. Originally, sweet potatoes were used as a staple food and rice to make sweet potato porridge for breakfast, but now they can only be fed to pigs, and this wasteful behavior has been severely criticized by the management committee. The second reason is that in the process of training, some people treat training as child's play, throwing sweet potatoes at each other and playing with each other. As the main person responsible, the otaku who started this incident was locked up for a day as punishment.
At the same time as the militia was being trained, they also began to participate in the service. Some of them follow the rescue team to go out to collect materials, the militia is responsible for transporting, and the soldiers are responsible for guarding, which greatly improves work efficiency; Some of them stood guard in the security zone with the soldiers, which strengthened the defense of the security zone, after all, it was still very difficult to rely on a hundred or so people to defend such a large place.
In this way, Peng Yeming also became a militiaman, and at this moment he was holding a spear and following the large army to participate in the collection of supplies in the town. At present, there are three more militia companies in the rescue team, and the three militia companies are rotated in three shifts: field service, internal day service, and internal night service, and the shifts are changed once a week. Today's dispatch happened to be the first company of the militia, and the first and second platoons of the rescue team were dispatched to collect supplies, Peng Yeming saw many acquaintances, Wang Xun, deputy squad leader, Sun Suofu, Weng Zhongtian, and Du Ziteng were all there.
The large supermarkets near Humen Town have already been patronized, and the rescue team has had to go further to collect supplies, and the footprints have reached the border between Dongguan and Shenzhen, where supermarkets and warehouses of various factories are their targets. Today they came to the Fuyuan Industrial Zone in the middle of Gongchang Road (the highway between Gongming Town in Shenzhen and Changping Town in Dongguan), although it still belongs to Dongguan, it is only two or three kilometers away from Shenzhen. The second squad, with a platoon of militiamen, searched several factories, preparing to move everything they needed back to the safe zone. All oils, whether gasoline, diesel, kerosene, motor oil, olive oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, and all kinds of oils, whether they are lubricating oil for machinery or edible animal oil, are the target of collection. Some inconspicuous little things, such as batteries, wires, lamps, medicines, etc., are not missed.
Deputy squad leaders, Weng Zhongtian and Sun Suofugang, led a dozen militiamen to search the warehouse of a chemical plant, and when they opened the warehouse door, they were frightened by the warehouse full of chemical raw materials. The warehouse, which is six meters high and 30 meters long and 30 meters wide, is full of cardboard boxes, wooden boxes, plastic pots and plastic barrels of various packaging, many of which are printed with the signs of being highly toxic, flammable and explosive. Weng Zhongtian walked in first, and the stack of cardboard boxes facing the door was printed in English, but the meaning of the largest letter h2SO4 was understood by anyone who had gone to middle school. Weng Zhongtian opened a cardboard box, took out a 500 ml glass bottle from it, took it in his hand and weighed it, his dangerous action frightened the people around him, everyone consciously kept a distance from him, for fear that he would break the glass bottle by mistake.
Weng Zhongtian put the dangerous goods in his hand back into the carton and asked the deputy squad leader: "Is it useful to take these things back?" ”
"I only know that phosgene can be produced by reacting with chloroform to produce oxygen from hydrogen peroxide," said the deputy squad leader, looking at a box of hydrogen peroxide, "I just don't know if phosgene is useful for mutants." ”
We took a turn in the warehouse, there are a variety of chemical raw materials here, there are a wide range of types, there are printing and dyeing industry used as a bleach agent for cotton fabrics, vat dye dyeing after the color agent, used to remove iron and other heavy metals when producing metal salts or other compounds, also used in electroplating solution, can remove inorganic impurities, improve the quality of hydrogen peroxide of plated parts; It is widely used as a variety of edible fruit flavors, and banana water is also used in appropriate amounts in tobacco flavors and daily cosmetic flavors; It has the effect on the surface of the coating material, improving its weathering resistance, reinforcing the soil, preparing the quick-setting waterproofing agent, and repairing the cracks of the brick wall. As for all kinds of acids, alkalis, and alcohols, they are counted in tons. The deputy squad leader used the walkie-talkie to report the findings of the squad to his superiors, and Li Xiangqian, the company commander who led the team, asked them to wait there, and he immediately sent a car to transport the things back.
During the time of waiting for the bus, everyone was not idle, and began to move the things in the warehouse out one by one. Because of the danger of these things, everyone consciously and carefully moved, just like a bomb moved. After a while, he heard the sound of a car coming this way, Weng Zhongtian raised his head, looked at the oncoming convoy, a domestic Hummer at the front and the heavy machine gun on the roof of the car, and asked Sun Suofu beside him: "When will this car be in the security zone?" ”??
"I don't know." Sun Suofu shook his head, and he also had some doubts in his heart, but now that there are ownerless cars everywhere, it is not strange to suddenly get a good car.
The convoy stopped at the door of the warehouse, the rear door of the domestic Humvee opened, and down stepped a soldier in his thirties, wearing a Type 87 camouflage uniform, with the rank of major on his shoulder. Behind the Humvee were five Red Rock Steyrs, from which dozens of heavily armed soldiers jumped out one after another.
The major walked up to Weng Zhongtian and asked, "Soldiers, are you from the army?" ”
Suddenly such a large group of unknown armed elements appeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Weng Zhongtian and Sun Suofu subconsciously picked up their weapons. In a world where society, the rule of law, and order have disappeared, those who wear military uniforms are not necessarily good people. The militiamen, who were carrying chemical raw materials, also felt the tension of the atmosphere, and put down their things one after another and picked up their weapons. The deputy squad leader quietly hid to the side and called for support on the walkie-talkie.
The major saw the hostility of the other party, smiled slightly, and introduced himself: "My name is Li Shanglong, and I am one of the persons in charge of the Nantou Security Zone in Shenzhen. As he spoke, he held out his right hand, "I would like to have your person in charge talk." ”
