The tank bumped and unfolded, rounding a few blocks and finally returning to the garage at the east entrance of the city. Wang Zhiyuan originally wanted to clean up the tank transmission wheels before leaving, but the thick smoke had already covered the entire eastern part of the city, and the air turbulence between the buildings made the fire spread far faster than Wang Zhiyuan imagined.

Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly beckoned the robot No. 5 who was knocking cockroaches around the convoy to come back, and the main highway at the exit of the eastern part of the city was too blocked, and there were traces of fighting everywhere. It had been a month since the decomposing of the corpses, and the tank, covered with black ash, turned away from the highway and walked more than ten kilometers along the highway embankment.

Picking a place that was relatively empty on all sides and stopping the convoy, Wang Zhiyuan carefully determined the surrounding situation from the commander's observation mirror, and dragged Xia Lingyun back to the armored RV. took out the SVD sniper rifle that Wang Zhiyuan had tested a few shots from the maintenance compartment, along with more than a dozen 7.62mm magazines, and handed it to Xia Lingyun along with a tactical vest.

Xia Lingyun shook the SVD with some surprise and said, "Where did you find this antique gun that is the same age as my grandfather?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan took off the flamethrower from the weapon pylon on the inner wall of the carriage and handed it to the robot Ka Tu and said: "You go to repair and clean the transmission wheel and suspension system of the tank, and by the way, bring this over and install it on the left mechanical arm of the aft compartment of the turret." ”

Open the beep boy to switch to the tank transformation interface, Wang Zhiyuan used up 100 units of plastic particles, and installed a flamethrower for the mechanical arm of the turret tail cabin. Although it still looks a little bloated, the robotic arm looks like a meteor hammer, and the flip angle of the bucket when switching to mining mode is also limited.

Wang Zhiyuan didn't care so much, he put it on first and slowly changed it after saying that it was not suitable. Seeing Xia Lingyun glaring at him dissatisfied, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Isn't this shot far, if you really need to go out to fight, do you want to make you less dangerous." Moreover, after so many days of insect plague, my experience is that small-caliber ammunition is meaningless at all, and it is difficult to say whether the slightly thicker chitin shell of the bug can be pierced. ”

Xia Lingyun said with an unhappy face: "Then you can't give me such an ancient one~~~" Wang Zhiyuan took out an Mp40 from a big green box next to him and said, "How about this submachine gun?" I also have a 98k plus octax mirror, do you like it? ”

Xia Lingyun hugged the SVD into her arms and said with a smile: "This sniper rifle has a powerful bullet and is still semi-automatic." Keep your chicken artifact to yourself. ”

Wang Zhiyuan cleaned up the magazine parts on the table and said: "Now the outside of the tank is too dangerous, biological contamination is everywhere, and there is radioactive radiation in some places." I hope you'll never use that gun. ”

Xia Lingyun put the gun on his back and said, "I know you want to protect me, forget about this for now, go to the bedroom for dinner." When she arrived at the bedroom, Xia Lingyun hung the gun on the head of the bed, put on a T-shirt, pierced a ball head twice, took out half a bag of hot pot ingredients from the refrigerator, and made the canned food stewed small hot pot that has been well received in the past two days.

Eating spicy hot pot and drinking Jiaduoduo herbal tea, Wang Zhiyuan sighed: "It's been more than 4 months since this catastrophe, and we are really lucky to be able to eat small hot pot in a safe armored vehicle." ”

Xia Lingyun ate a piece of chicken wings in the bowl and said with some sadness: "I was so lucky to meet you, otherwise I would probably be like my comrades-in-arms now, and there would be no bones left." ”

Wang Zhiyuan saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and said: "No matter how powerful the tank is by myself, I will not be crazy sooner or later, and besides, people are not crazy, and I have to vomit just by eating canned food." ”

After dinner, Wang Zhiyuan leaned on the head of the bed and fiddled with the beep boy, constantly adjusting the installation method of the flamethrower on the mechanical arm. Xia Lingyun leaned on his shoulder and flipped through the TV series on the tablet and said: "If you take the three fuel canisters of the flamethrower and put them on the mechanical arm, won't it have a little less impact on the mobility~"

Wang Zhiyuan adjusted it according to Xia Lingyun's thoughts, except that the mechanical arm looked a little thicker and couldn't close in the tail compartment of the turret, and the mobility was finally acceptable. After clicking on the transformation interface, Wang Zhiyuan opened the electronic map from Qinzhou to Chang'an and said: "Your idea is good~ That female Zhuge This is the next route to Chang'an, what do you think?" ”

Xia Lingyun pointed to Yongcheng, which was more than 150 kilometers east of the map, and said, "Why do we want to go to Yongcheng, are you looking for anything there?" Wang Zhiyuan took a sip and said: "That's not it, the key is the bridge~ The E100 tank has now undergone some modifications, and the weight has exceeded 160 tons." ”

Comparing the bridge data of other routes, Xia Lingyun said: "Then go to Yongcheng, we have enough food and ammunition now, just bypass from outside the city." ”

Wang Zhiyuan threw the finished drink can into the trash can and said: "Wake up tomorrow morning and set off, it is estimated that we will finally arrive in Yongcheng, how to get there and see." ”

I slept early last night, and I was woken up by Xia Lingyun before eight o'clock the next day, and I ate a milk breakfast after washing. Entering the cockpit of the tank, Wang Zhiyuan sat in the co-pilot seat and tried to operate the mechanical left arm equipped with a flamethrower a few times, and he felt that it was okay to breathe fire for a shorter time.

Wang Zhiyuan looked through the commander's observation mirror at Qinzhou, where black smoke was still billowing out, and the fire seemed to have not been extinguished. Just as we were about to set off, a light rain fell from the lead-gray sky, and the black ashes on the tank's armor were washed away little by little.

The road was desolate, and wisps of fresh earth looked as if it had been plowed over. Xia Lingyun looked at the desolate Gobi outside from the screen on the bridge and said: "I have often seen here before, there should be a lot of trees and shrubs, and after Yongcheng, the kind of landform that forms thousands of ravines will appear." ”

Wang Zhiyuan zoomed into a mound in the distance and said, "It should be a plant-eating organism that has been infected and enlarged by insects similar to locusts or termites." ”

Along the way, Wang Zhiyuan saw the most miserable situation since the end of the world, with many abandoned vehicles on the road, even military vehicles, gnawed to pieces. Reddish-brown handprints were faintly visible on some of the windows, and most of the cars were gnawed to the steel frame and glass, and the wheels, skin, seats, and people in the car were gnawed to pieces.

After turning a big bend, the rape flower farm, which should have been endless before, was also gnawed clean. The trail was littered with discarded vehicles and mutilated human bones, and tracks crushed stump over stump of locust stumps. It was found that the entrance of the farmer's two-story building was charred black, and dozens of locusts, large and small, were burned to black, along with several military vehicles blocking the outside.
