Chapter 102: Yangshan New Town
This city wall is more than ten meters high, seven or eight meters underground is an earthen wall, and five or six meters above is a stone wall. It could be a problem of lack of building materials and a rush of time. The stone walls were crudely piled up, and many of the brick joints were not filled with cement.
However, despite the rough and rudimentary walls, they stretch for several kilometers and look quite majestic. It is only in the last days that such a landscape can appear.
In fact, the scale of such a wall is not a small amount. Two years after the end of the world, the current large gathering place of survivors can reach a height of 20 meters. It's not because humans are infrastructure madness, but because the height of the ghost-faced giant corpse has reached more than ten meters. If the city wall is only more than ten meters, it is easy to be broken through by giant corpses.
Due to the distance from the city wall, Lin Hao could only see the figures walking back and forth on the city wall, but the specific situation was not real.
In his previous life, he had been in this new city for almost a year, and he did not leave until the mass zombie tide came. Seeing this city again now, Lin Hao felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
His appearance has affected the trajectory of many people to a certain extent, and the new city in this life will be very different from the one in the previous life. First of all, in his previous life, Ye Dahai died at Xianghe Bridge. Tu Gang and Su Rong arrived safely in Xincheng. In this life, it was just the opposite, under Lin Hao's intervention, Ye Dahai not only did not die, but also arrived in Xincheng.
"Everything has changed!"
Lin Hao sighed in his heart. He also doesn't know whether such a change is good or bad, and in which direction the trajectory of history will go.
Lin Hao was thinking about his thoughts, but Zhang Xiaotao kept asking Lin Hao and others about the process of building the city.
This wall was built by more than 10,000 people and took more than half a month to build. In order to repair this wall, more than 100 people died of exhaustion.
If it were manpower alone, no matter how many people died, it would be impossible to accomplish this goal in such a short time.
In the Dayangshan base, there are a lot of military construction machinery. And there are plenty of diesel and gasoline reserves in the base. With the help of construction machinery, the main body of the city walls was completed in a very short time. Until now, the walls have not been completely completed. If it weren't for the increasing number of monsters around, the construction of the city walls would not have stopped.
If the city is the world of bones and corpses, then the mountains and forests are the world of mutant beasts.
Everyone saw that not far from the city wall, hundreds of huge mutant geckos were lying on the stones basking in the sun.
These geckos are the size of crocodiles and are covered in rough and thick skin. Their mouths were wide open, and their long, scarlet tongues were sticking out, and they looked creepy.
What is even more surprising is that there is a porcupine group not far from the gecko, and the number of this group is also two or three hundred.
Each of these porcupines is the size of a calf and is covered in spikes more than a meter long. These spikes are like long knives on the back of a porcupine, and they look terrifying.
The mutant monsters have a certain amount of intelligence, and the two races actually maintain restraint between them, and do not attack each other, but form a subtle symbiotic relationship.
In addition to these monster groups that could be seen, Lin Hao believed that there were other groups in the nearby meadows. After all, there are nearly 20,000 people in this grass-roots new city at the foot of Dayang Mountain. It's like a big stuffed bun in a cage, how can it not attract the attention of those mutated creatures.
Perhaps smelling the blood of pork, hundreds of geckos became agitated.
Zhang Xiaotao noticed the gecko's abnormal movement and quickly quickened his pace.
Since Dayang City is surrounded by all kinds of beast races, the people in the city who want to go out to hunt have to go through the underground passages.
Dayang City has three city walls, south, east and west, and there is a passage dug under each city wall for people to travel and hunt.
Zhang Xiaotao and the others came to a bush and opened the hidden iron door covered with dirt and grass on the ground, and a black hole more than two meters wide and nearly three meters high appeared inside.
Two of the members of the team carrying the pork held flashlights, and everyone followed them into the passage in turn.
Zhang Xiaotao waited for everyone to go in, and then closed the iron door again.
The passage was filled with an earthy and musty smell of earth. Since it is not very ventilated, there is some breathlessness inside.
"Ahh
Not long after Lin Hao and the others left, Xiao Yutong suddenly exclaimed, pointed to a pile of white bones on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "People, dead people!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Xiao Yutong's finger, and saw that both sides of the passage were full of white bones, and there were twenty or thirty people at a glance.
Seeing the puzzled eyes of Lin Hao and others, Zhang Xiaotao sighed and said:
"These people, some of them survivors who wanted to try their luck outside, starved to death before they could even get out of the passage. Others were more unlucky, and encountered the mutated voles in the passage, and as a result, they were eaten only to the bones! ”
How could there be voles in the passage, Tang Xia asked curiously. For Miss Tang, who has been eating and drinking since she was a child, Liu Xiaodao rolled her eyes.
"Voles are good at burrowing, and a few voles happened to open up the passage when they burrowed, causing the people in the passage to become food for voles."
"In the end, it was the demon warriors of the new area who took action to eliminate those voles. So, there really is no place for absolute safety in the last days, even if you live underground. ”
Zhang Xiaotao explained. After listening to Zhang Xiaotao's words, everyone thought so.
After walking three or four hundred meters, an iron gate appeared at the end of the passage.
Zhang Xiaotao walked up and knocked rhythmically a few times, and the big iron door slowly opened. Looking inside, there are two middle-aged men with spears and machetes in their hands.
"Yo! Captain Zhang, you have gained a lot this time! ”
When the two saw the pork carried by everyone behind Zhang Xiaotao, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes were full of jealousy and greed.
This Zhang Xiaotao is the captain of the second brigade under Ye Dahai, not a demon warrior. Because of this, they look down on Zhang Xiaotao at all. However, there are more than 100 subordinates under them, and they don't dare to take each other too seriously.
"Hehe, I was lucky today and I met a noble person when I went out. The two of them also worked hard, so take this pig tail back and stew the soup! ”
Zhang Xiaotao glanced at Lin Hao, smiled and cut off an arm-thick pig tail from the pig's buttocks, then cut it from the middle and handed it to the two of them respectively.
Don't look at Zhang Xiaotao's youth, but society is the best teacher. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, he has become more and more aware of human feelings and has become mature.
Seeing his approach, Lin Hao nodded slightly.
As the saying goes, Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult. Especially these little people, often a lot of things will be bad in their hands, it is necessary to give these people a little profit and avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Soon, the convenience confirmed the benefits of Zhang Xiaotao's doing.
"I'm so sorry, you fought for your life."
While the two were saying kind words, they hurriedly took the pig's tail without ambiguity in their hands, for fear that Zhang Xiaotao would regret it.
Don't look at the wild boar tail, it is also more than 20 catties, enough for the families of these two people to eat for more than ten days. The two of them were overjoyed to get the pig's tail, looked behind them, and reminded in a low voice:
"Today's tax collection is dog-legged, you have a preparation in your heart. He's not a good guy, and when he sees so much of your food, he's afraid he'll blush and raise the price! ”
"Thank you, two brothers!"
Hearing the two say this, Zhang Xiaotao frowned. This dogleg is really not a good stubble, and he will have to deal with it carefully for a while.
After thanking the two of them, Zhang Xiaotao and Lin Hao and the others continued to walk forward, the ground of the passage slowly turned into a slope, and a bright light gradually appeared in front of them, and the sound became noisy.
Lin Hao and the others followed Zhang Xiaotao to the entrance of the cave, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
As soon as I got out of the hole, my eyes couldn't adjust to the light for a while. Everyone slowed down, opened their eyes, and suddenly opened up in front of them.
The area inside the city is vast, full of tents and improvised buildings, like a huge shanty town. The survivors shuttled from one place to another, each going about their own business.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Hao felt as if he had entered some large-scale temple fair.
Looking into the distance, at the end of the shantytown there is a small city built on the mountain, and there is also a wall more than ten meters high around it. Like a city within a city. The walls of the town were very strong, and there were heavy machine guns on the walls, and some heavily armed soldiers patrolled them.
According to Zhang Xiaotao, the Dayangshan base has been renamed Yangshan New Town. The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city houses the military and their families of the three battalions of the military, as well as a number of administrative staff. The outer city is where the survivors who fled from various places and the three major battalions of the militia are located.
The three battalions of the military are numbered, with 500 men each, for a total of 1,500 people. These 1,500 people are all soldiers, well-equipped, not only artillery, but also tanks, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
The three major battalions of the militia in the outer city are the east camp, the south camp, and the west camp, with a total of more than 2,500 people. Among them, there are 1,000 people in the south camp and 1,000 people in the west camp, and only 500 people in the east camp.
The weapons of the three major battalions of the militia are mainly cold weapons, and there are also a small number of firearms.
These firearms are the treasure bumps of the battalions, and no one is willing to use them until the critical moment. Besides, these weapons are too dynamic and tend to attract more mutated creatures, so they won't use them unless they have to.
As for the number of demon warriors, Zhang Xiaotao guessed that there were at least thirty people.
Zhang Xiaotao is in the weakest Dongying, because this battalion is not only small in people, but also has no demon warriors in charge, and the battalion commander of the Dongying is Ye Dahai.
Each of the three battalions of the outer city was responsible for the defense of a wall, and the area where the wall was located was their jurisdiction. In addition to the guards, there were more than 12,000 survivors in the outer city. Of these survivors, nearly 8,000 came from the safe zone. This is more than double the number of survivors who arrived at the Dayang Mountain base alive in Lin Hao's previous life.
It is precisely because of the arrival of these 8,000 people that it has brought a lot of pressure to Yangshan New Town, which makes Liu Chenggong, the commander of Yangshan New Town, the boss of the three major battalions, and the commander of the Yangcheng War Regiment, very headache.
If it weren't for the fact that Huajing, Modu, Anxi and other cities were still there, and if it weren't for the bosses of these cities who could still put pressure on Liu Chenggong, he wouldn't want to take on such a big burden.
In addition, the support and trust of these 8,000 people in Ye Dahai also made him very vigilant.
Therefore, under Liu Chenggong's intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Dahai was squeezed out by the major camps at home and abroad, which made him depressed.
