Chapter 67: The Remaining Survivors
This time the corpse tide caused heavy losses to the personnel and weapons and equipment of the base, a large number of light and heavy machine guns were smashed and scrapped, 30 people died, 15 people were seriously injured, and countless minor injuries were innumerable, this is not a lot of corpse tide at all, the Celestial Empire lacks nothing and there is no shortage of people, the population is too large, X City is not very big, Meng Soul can't imagine the overwhelming corpse tide in the demon capital of B City, even XA City, the capital of S Province next to X City, has a population of 20 million, and there are basically 18 million zombies, Moreover, the straight-line distance between X City and XA City is only seventy or eighty kilometers, thinking that tens of millions of zombies are pouring over, Meng Soul's heart is full of shadows.
Meng Soul's injury healed very quickly, with a large amount of food replenished every day, Meng Soul had fully recovered after another week, this situation made Qian Duoduo surprised, are the strengthening people all Xiaoqiang who can't be killed?
The appearance of force III makes the wall of the base look thinner, Meng Soul intends to continue to increase the height and thicken the wall, at least eight meters thick, and the height should reach ten meters, the foundation of the ground is dug deeper, and the thickest steel bars moved back from the building materials market are buried at the bottom, and scaffolding is erected on the ten-meter-high wall, and the dense crowd on it is being constructed, with a horn sounding, a commercial concrete truck stretches out a long pipe to inject the mixed concrete into the trough surrounded by iron plates, Wang Yangming laid a commercial concrete mixing plant some time ago, the walls of the base are now all built with the best concrete and the best steel bars, originally Meng Soul planned to move those equipment back, but the equipment is too big, it is very inconvenient to disassemble, so he can only run back and forth, but fortunately, the commercial concrete mixing plant is not far from the base, and the zombies on the north line of X city are basically coming with the corpse tide, there are basically no zombies in the north of the city, and the resources of such a large urban area in the north are Meng Soul's, Even if it is a small city in the north of the city, the materials in it can be used by more than 1,000 people in the base for a lifetime.
When Instructor Ling's convoy appeared not far from the wall, the sentry on the specially built fifteen-meter-high guard tower spread the news to the base, and all the workers who were working quickly finished the goods in their hands happily gathered at the door and waited for the return of the convoy.
All the workers know that the zombies in the north of the city have been emptied, there are three large supermarkets in the north, two commercial center buildings, and a large bazaar.
The team members who died in this corpse tide were taken out of the freezer brought back from the hospital morgue, scrubbed one by one, put on brand new military uniforms, and put them in black lacquered coffins, these coffins were found in the warehouse of the cemetery in the northern suburbs, a full hundred black lacquered coffins were put together, so that everyone who saw them felt that their hairs stood on end, all the coffins were carried by four people, and they marched forward steadily, Meng Soul led all the team members to follow the thirty coffins silently with guns on their backs, and everyone walked quietly on the path leading to the cemetery, The silent crowd made the air seem to be filled with a sense of sadness and tragedy, Meng Soul walked in the team, inexplicably depressed, this road is called the point of no return by everyone in the base, every time he sets foot on this road of no return, he will lose at least one team member, the number is already small and pitiful, and people continue to die, up to now, the base has been established for less than half a year, and there are more than 30 team members buried here.
After a burst of gunfire in the cemetery, the burial ceremony of the fallen team members ended, Meng Soul and Instructor Ling and others walked out, during this time Meng Soul was seriously injured, and the affairs in the base were handled by Instructor Ling, Meng Soul asked about the material reserves in the base, and how long it would take for the wall to be built, this time the corpse tide in the north of X City was the first, but it would never be the last, this time the corpse tide made Meng Soul lose thirty team members, a large amount of ammunition, and many team members were injured and fractured, and dozens of machine guns were smashed and scrapped, and there was no possibility of repairing it at all, I had to disassemble and select some parts that were still in good condition.
After the zombies in the north of the city were emptied this time, Instructor Ling found a lot of live rat-like survivors when transporting resources in the city, and the survivors of this wave added up to almost three hundred, most of them were hidden in the sewers around the supermarket, and the north of X was basically a new commercial area, unlike the prisoners of the underground waterways in the old city, the underground waterways in the entire northern city were built tall and wide, and normal adults could stand and walk, and they extended in all directions, through these sewers, These survivors live underground like rats, and the lack of sunlight for a long time makes them pale.
"Instructor Ling, you and Li Ke make arrangements, completely break up these people and arrange them in different places, you can't let them form a group to do things in the base, select people who can enter the combat team, and hand over the rest to Li Ke to be incorporated into the logistics team, as long as they don't make trouble, they must be treated equally, and they can't let the old people in the base bully them, of course, they can't bully others, and the rules in the base must tell them, once there is a crime, they will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and if someone commits a capital crime, he will be killed directly!"
Meng Soul successively explained a lot of things to Instructor Ling, and hundreds of people poured in to the base at once, Meng Soul was really afraid that they would mess up their base, and finally began to develop benignly, and there could be no more chaos, Meng Soul was also very helpless, the people of the Celestial Empire were like this, they liked infighting, they liked to intrigue with their own people, and now the population of the base is about to exceed 1,000 people, this kind of thing must be prevented, in fact, think about history, if you don't fight, the world is estimated to have conquered dozens of times.
Instructor Ling nodded on the side and turned around to arrange things, Meng Soul also walked to the ammunition warehouse, he was going to take stock of the remaining situation of weapons and ammunition, how many bullets were fired in this battle, it was distressing to think about it, and now there is no possibility of reloading bullets, and if you don't replenish it, it will really be less and less, and you will really run out of ammunition, even if you can run away, where can you run to?
During this time, in addition to the survivors brought back by Instructor Ling, there were many scattered survivors who came to the base to seek refuge either alone or in groups, zombies ran out of the city, and the survivors living in the wilderness were constantly caught and eaten from their hiding places, and the big battle some time ago was a bombing and a fire, and the smoke that rose could be seen for dozens of kilometers, and the survivors kept pouring to make Meng Soul extremely big, after discussing with everyone, Meng Soul let these uninvited survivors only eat half full at most, but the work that needs to be done is not less at all, so that they do not have the strength to make trouble, and after a certain period of time, as these people's sense of identity with the base improves, they can slowly give them better treatment, Meng Soul is not a philanthropist, not a person, he has to help unconditionally.
Although the population is growing slowly, Meng Soul did not blindly increase the number of soldiers, because it is necessary to ensure the proportion of the old people among the newcomers, otherwise how can he control the people below, in fact, Meng Soul has a headache for this kind of intrigue calculation, he used to be unaccustomed to the intrigue in the workplace before going home to be an otaku, these things are not in his character, but after various battles, Meng Soul realized that he was powerful, what can he do? The strength of one or two people is always too thin, and the strength of human beings can only be more powerful when they are united, so that Meng Soul can kill alone, and he will not be able to kill so many zombies in this life.
