Volume 1, Land of Despair 055, Don't Give Up
"This is the Paradise Island Prison, call center mountain command center, please answer if you receive it."
"This is the Paradise Island Prison, the call center mountain command center, please bring it when you receive it."
……
"Zhuo Kairen, I got the things back for you, if you can't make a name for yourself, or play any tricks, even if Brother Yun covers you, I will beat you so that your mother can't recognize you!"
According to Zhuo Kai's request, Lei Ya led the team out to find a batch of materials such as microphones, and rescued 4 survivors by the way, but Lei Ya lost two of his men. In his opinion, this is a very bad deal, so he is very dissatisfied with Zhuo Kairen, and now he is waiting for Zhuo Kairen to make a fool of himself, and then take a good breath of evil.
But Zhuo Kai is still relatively calm, Chen Maohui's grandchildren and grandchildren clearly told him that there is no problem with the radio signal being transmitted, because the monitoring and command room of the prison guard's dormitory already has this condition, and they just reorganized the wiring and adjusted the equipment. And the computer can also be started, although Zhuo Kairen can't fully understand those dense characters, but he can find some patterns from the changes in the data.
"This is the Paradise Island Prison, call center mountain command center, please answer if you receive it."
After calling more than a dozen times, with a clattering sound, a very soft female voice came from the computer speaker.
"Paradise Island Prison, this is Paradise Island Fortress, copy your signal, please speak."
Oh, Zhuo Kai said that he was stupid to call the other party the "Central Mountain Command Center", it turned out that the official name of the other side was "Paradise Island Fortress", at best, "Fortress" sounds very defensive, but at worst, the most official solution is just to build a fortress to hide...... Of course, the fortress is definitely much safer than this prison, and Zhuo Kai's heart is moving, should he find a chance to escape to the fortress? Returning to a normal social state is much easier than worrying about the dragon in the clouds.
But that's all for later, now that Long Zaiyun and Lei Ya are watching behind him, Zhuo Kairen took the microphone, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and said: "Paradise Island Fortress, we need assistance, we are just ordinary survivors, the situation here is critical, we need assistance." Repeat, the situation here is critical, and we need assistance. ”
"Roger, please keep your computer device powered on while we try to control it remotely."
Prisons are an important part of the police system, and they are also very important official institutions, and the original communication facilities are not only complete, but also not civilian access. Zhuo Kairen ridiculed Long Zaiyun for being a dirt bun, but he also knew relatively limited things, in fact, he didn't understand the prison's backup power supply system, only knew that there was a generator room, in the context of the island-wide power outage, he activated the equipment in the generator room, and the prison guard's dormitory was electric. But where exactly did the electricity come from in this backup generator room, to be honest, he didn't figure it out.
In the same way, in the context of the island-wide power outage, his mobile phone had no signal before he lost it, and there was no WIFI in the clubhouse. That's why he worked hard to tinker with the radio through Chen Maohui's grandfather and grandson, but as he got in touch with the fortress, soon, all the computers in the monitoring room were automatically turned on, and he knew that there were still too many things he didn't understand.
Soon, Zhuo Kairen saw a colonel officer appear on the computer screen. Using his military rank and age to compare, Zhuo Kairen felt that this colonel was very young, no more than 32 years old, with a Chinese face, no beard, wearing a military cap, and the nameplate on his right chest read the words "Liu Zhiyuan".
"I'm Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the fortress." The colonel made a simple self-introduction, his voice and expression were neither kind nor harsh, but he looked at Zhuo Kairen sitting in front of the computer with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Who is in charge?" Please report back to you. ”
Zhuo Kairen glanced back, Long Zaiyun and Lei Ya were both standing outside the range of the camera, after all, they were just gangsters at the junction of urban and rural areas, and when facing such a big official as the colonel, Long Zaiyun and Lei Ya unconsciously shrank aside. Zhuo Kairen scolded the turtle in his heart, he didn't think that a colonel was how old, that is, this colonel was younger, but he couldn't say that he was the person in charge, the two turtles were looking at him in the corner. He could only say: "Our person in charge is organizing the guard, and I am responsible for reporting and communication, my name is Zhuo Kairen." ”
Colonel Liu Zhiyuan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Zhuo Kairen continued: "We are ordinary survivors, about a week ago we entered the prison guard's living quarters of Paradise Island Prison, and now we are trapped here, there are more and more zombies outside, and we urgently need rescue. ”
"How many of you are now?"
"Now there are 55 people, including elderly people and children. There may also be scattered survivors in the vicinity. ”
Colonel Liu Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Your position is too far away from the fortress, and we are currently seriously lacking in air power, so it is difficult for us to bring you to the fortress. ”
The Colonel's reply was expected by the Zhuokai people, but he was still disappointed, to say that the distance between the Paradise Island Prison and the fortress of the Central Mountain would not exceed 100 kilometers in a straight line. The fortress should now be the highest official institution on the entire island, and the fact that the fortress can be established shows that the official power has reached a certain level. But even so, the fortress said it was powerless to pick them up, which in turn showed that the severity of the infection was really devastating. How long they will survive is really unknown.
Compared with this grim and tragic reality, Zhuo Kairen suddenly felt that the intrigue between him and Long Zaiyun was really a very small and meaningless thing.
"Colonel." Zhuo Kairen's voice was dry, and he asked without pretense: "In this case, we are doomed, right?" ”
Looking at Zhuo Kairen's unconcealed expression of loss, the colonel said solemnly: "It can only be said that at present, our air power is seriously lacking, and if we take the land route, we will not be able to pass through the encirclement of more than a million mutants at present." Therefore, at present, we can only encourage survivors within a distance of more than 100 kilometers on the ground to organize self-rescue, hold on to their sturdy houses, and we can provide corresponding supplies to survivors through unmanned transport aircraft. Scientists are working around the clock on solutions to the problem, and there should be a turnaround within a month, so please stick with it and don't give up. ”
"Understood." Zhuo Kairen's face was sad and lonely, but he tried to understand the other party's appearance...... Of course, at this time, he was acting, in fact, the general situation has been guessed, whether he can go to the fortress or not, for him, it is not so important, as long as he can live, in fact, he is still more free here.
So he asked a core question: "The wall on this side of the prison guard's living quarters is too thin, and we need to go to the prison through the prison overpass, but we can't unlock the code of the overpass gate." Colonel, is there a way for this? ”
The colonel said solemnly, "Actually, I don't recommend that you go to prison. Our drone and remote surveillance data show that the infection in the prison is very serious, and if you go in, it is likely to be uncontrollable. ”
Zhuo Kairen was silent for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw that Long Zaiyun was very resolute and made a gesture to go, so he said: "Colonel, the wall on this side of the prison guard's living area is too thin, and the gate is just an ordinary iron fence gate, as long as the zombies outside gather to a certain number, this place will definitely not be able to hold it." In that case, we don't even have the possibility of rushing out, so even if it's very risky inside the prison, we can only give it a try. ”
"Alright," the colonel nodded, "I'll have the technicians remotely control the code for you to access the flyover, and then record a map of the infection distribution inside the prison." Perhaps because he could not send someone to bring the survivors to the fortress, the colonel wanted to make amends, and said: "I will also send unmanned transport planes to drop you supplies, including the necessary guns and ammunition, and you must at least learn how to use firearms before you enter the prison." ”
"Thank you, Colonel." This is a windfall, in fact, Zhuo Kai people have found the gun depot on the side of the prison guard's dormitory, but at the time of the catastrophe, most of the prison guards had already attacked, and they also took away guns and ammunition, and there were only a handful left. If the infection of the mutation in the prison is serious, the danger of the colonel is by no means alarmist.
But it's different if there are enough guns and ammunition, plus a map of the distribution of infections, if they still can't get rid of the zombies in the prison in this case, or the casualties are unbearable, and there is a completely uncontrollable situation, then it can only be said that they are doomed. Because the walls of the dormitory are thin and the defense is poor, it is not an excuse used by Zhuo Kai to ask the colonel for assistance, but a fact. After all, under normal circumstances, this is really just an area where prison guards rest, work, and live in shifts, and building a fence is just to prevent curious passers-by from prying eyes, who would be afraid of being attacked?
Now, more and more zombies outside the walls are an imminent threat, and if they don't find a way to enter the prison as soon as possible, relying on the high walls and solid iron gates as defense, they may die at any time.
"Colonel, one last question. Will the disaster really turn around in a month or so? ”
