Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 222 The Battle of the Waterworks
Several people discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Qin Tianwu would leave with one of the men and go to the "town" where the transaction was made, to determine whether these people were honest or not. After the two left, Wei Yilin made an excuse and left this wasteland with Qiao Wu. For the sake of safety, Xie Lingguang and Xiao Xu occupied a small dirt slope nearby early to observe the movements around them, so now in this wasteland, only Meng Zhuofan and the other three were left, accompanying the two men.
Wei Yilin and the others followed the map, walked all the way out of the distance, and finally came to their original destination, which was outside an industrial zone. The two climbed a small hill closest to the industrial area, from which they could overlook most of the industrial area. As soon as the two of them chose a place and raised their binoculars, they found several figures on a cross road in the industrial area.
The clothes of these people, though also shabby, were not bloodstained, and when they walked, they did not stagger, as if they were drunk, like those of the infected, so it can be judged that they were human beings. In the hands of these people, there are guns and two long guns, which look like the weapons of the hometown defense regiment - this is not surprising, because the hometown defense regiment in the entire epidemic area has been devastating in the impact of the disease, and the leakage of their equipment is not surprising at all, of course, it is not ruled out that some personnel may leave the team with guns.
The reason why Wei Yilin was sure that this fierce remnant of blood worship would definitely be wiped out in the military's attack was because the camp of this group of people was set up in the open air, and the so-called defensive measures were several trenches of different depths, plus a few thin parapet walls, and there was no fixed fire point, let alone those important buildings that were directly exposed to the air.
Of course, this does not mean that the "priests" who worship the remnants of blood are short-sighted and ignorant of military affairs, but because the modern military system has long been different from the past, and if you want to build a complete base, you must have a strong industry and a developed trade and transportation network to support it, but how can this powerful industry and developed trade and transportation network be owned and controlled by these rabble, who did not know each other a year ago? Perhaps it is precisely because of this that some people will have the courage to do whatever they want.
"If you can have the troops from last time, end up here, and you can do it." Sure enough, Qiao Wu only glanced at the defensive layout of this industrial zone, and he couldn't bear it. After all, last time, he was unable to intercept Priest Nami and the others at the last moment, and let the credit that had already been received slip away in vain, and in this regard, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to earn back the lost credit.
But Wei Yilin was not so optimistic, because he found that although the defense line was full of loopholes, they had actually worked hard to erase these loopholes, for example, there was a building that seemed to have been abandoned a long time ago, and there were some people hiding in it, and this building, which happened to be in the other two buildings, were horns of each other, behind the factory building that defended the west gate of the industrial zone, and the distance from the two factories was roughly equal.
On this surface, as long as someone attacks the gate, they have to be subjected to crossfire from the left and right at the same time, and the defenders in the two factories are suppressed by the intruders, and those hiding in the building can also pass through the two passages with canopies at the top and earthen walls at both ends in time to quickly support the building. Of course, these are a joke before the military side with armored clusters, heavy artillery clusters, and fighter-bomber clusters, but if it is other small forces composed of survivors, then this line of defense is also enough for them to eat a pot, and maybe, it will all be folded here.
The other entrances and exits of the industrial zone are estimated to have the same configuration. Inside the industrial zone, there is some land covered with cement that has been chiseled and exposed to the paddy soil below, and these paddy soils are already oily, and in the oil, there is a criss-cross white light, which should be a diversion canal. However, some studies say that in order to regrow edible crops on soil that was once covered with concrete, it is necessary to wait another 20 years for the soil to recover after the cement cover is lifted. But it is clear that the remnants of the blood do not have the patience to do so.
Qiao Wu soon discovered a strange phenomenon, in the north of the industrial area, about three kilometers away, there are a few fields, but now, this once fertile soil is overgrown with weeds, looking like it has been abandoned for a long time. Wei Yilin thought for a while before coming up with a possible explanation - as the men said, this neighborhood is not very peaceful, looting is probably a common thing, and only in this way will these people willingly give up the existing fields and go to great lengths to dig up the cement to grow crops, because there is no fence around those fields to block the looters.
It didn't take long for Wei Yilin to wait for the answer he was looking for. About two kilometres away from the industrial zone, there is another small settlement, which was originally a sewage treatment plant surrounded by a two-metre-high wall, and after the gang occupied it, they added thick planks to the hollow walls and built "sentry" towers on the buildings closest to the walls. And the people on the sentry tower are also fully armed.
And today, the remnants of the blood have decided to do something to these people. I saw that in the industrial zone, more than a dozen modified off-road vehicles suddenly rose to cover the sky, and more than a dozen modified off-road vehicles roared out of the iron gate that was still open, and after two turns on the road, the tires rushed to the sewage treatment plant. The people in the sewage treatment plant immediately faced the battle, and soon around the sewage treatment plant, bursts of smoke rose and the sound shook the sky.
"With such a big move, aren't you afraid of recruiting the infected?" Qiao Wu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Wei Yilin shrugged: "Maybe they were all slaughtered." ”
In fact, if you want to deal with the infected, it is not as difficult as you imagined, the simplest point is to form a formation, just like the godfather's gang that day, as long as there are about 20 people in formation, and there are guys who take advantage of it - mainly short "spears" and shields, they can get out calmly in the encirclement of hundreds of infected people. As for those forces with deep pockets and a hundred and ten steps and pistols, against the infected, it will be properly rolled - just like the time in the lakeside camp, Qin Tianwu and the others easily wiped out those infected who worshiped the remnants of blood to raise and come to the door.
Obviously, this camp of blood remnants is enough to crush the infected in terms of firepower, but the firepower of the gang occupying the sewage treatment plant is obviously not as strong as theirs. It was less than three minutes after the start of the war, and the wall was lost, and as soon as the wall was lost, this small sewage treatment plant was no longer in danger to defend - even if they were playing street fighting, these people did not have enough manpower to fight with the remnants of the blood.
Sure enough, after a while, the people occupying the sewage treatment plant either voluntarily or forcibly gave up resistance, and this conflict, from beginning to end, was less than ten minutes, and the real exchange of fire may only be a minute, and the rest of the time is to worship the remnants of blood to resolve sporadic resistance. Several people were caught, some with broken teeth, some with swollen faces.
"What are they going to do with these people?" Qiao Wu is not Bai Yunlian, and he has not been captured by the remnants of the blood, so he is a little curious and a little worried about what will happen next.
"Read on and you'll see."
The two of them watched for more than half an hour, and those remnants of blood worship seemed to have swept away the sewage treatment plant and began to retreat, but there were not many things they found, more than a dozen off-road vehicles, less than half of which could be loaded with goods, and useful ones such as rice, noodles, and fuel, seemed to be only one car, and the others were all packed in cardboard boxes without identification, and it was estimated that they were not important things.
But the remnants of the blood consume a lot of fuel and ammunition for this. Therefore, no matter how you look at this operation, it will outweigh the losses for the remnants of blood worship.
Of course, Wei Yilin didn't think that this was because this group of blood-worshipping priests had a convulsion in their brains, and as soon as they slapped their heads, they were going to kill the "infidels". Of course, he does have an "obligation" to do so, but only if he has sufficient resources and can be sure that he will be able to obtain greater benefits. Otherwise, don't be at that time, the sewage treatment plant is not occupied, and the believers below will lift the table first. After all, the brain can lie, but the stomach is honest.
So what is this big benefit?
At this time, the dozen or so captives were also brought back to the industrial area, and two of them, who seemed to be presumably in the lead, were dragged up to the high platform and injected with a syringe under the shouts of the remnants of the hundred and ten worships, while the others were all forced to strip naked and squeezed into a small muddy pool. Then there was a round of jumping, and finally those captives actually knelt down in the pool with their heads buried in the bottom of the water.
"What are they doing?" Qiao Wu scratched his head, and his brain didn't seem to turn for a while.
"Brainwashing those captives." Wei Yilin is very familiar with this method, after all, this kind of thing is not only done by worshipping blood remnants, he has seen a lot in other places, and he is not used to seeing it, and he has also developed a strong immunity.
By the way, Wei Yilin had a flash of inspiration, he seemed to understand, what is the benefit of capturing the sewage treatment plant, those men just said that they are competitors with these blood worshippers, and if the blood worshippers want to kill the forces to which the men belong, they must continue to expand their strength, and these people in the sewage treatment plant are obviously a relatively easy target. Moreover, the sewage treatment plant is so close to the industrial area that it is inevitable that there will be no peeping at each other. If the people in the sewage treatment plant have taken refuge in other big forces, it will not be so easy for the remnants of blood worship to eliminate them.
Therefore, the remnants of blood worship will cut off this time bomb before the start of the timer, regardless of the cost, so as to prevent future troubles.
