Chapter 160: 17 cars
Back in the high-speed service area, the Dongfeng Tianlong car, the bumper in front of the vehicle has been completely deformed.
It can be seen how much resistance they encountered all the way back.
However, it is also because of the protection of the bumper that the main body of the truck is not destroyed.
Seeing that the convoy was still in the service area, Tan Yuelong and others on the Dongfeng Tianlong car were also very excited, and immediately stretched out their hands from the car to wave to the convoy, and shouted: "Captain, captain, let's come back!" ”
When they left yesterday, they had already handed over the walkie-talkie, so now they can only shout.
Seeing Tan Yuelong and them coming back, Chen Ran was also very pleased, and he said to Zhang Xiangdong: "Fatty, you go out and tell them that the convoy is about to leave, just let them go directly with the convoy." ”
Time is precious, although Chen Ran also wants to know the situation of them going back all the way, but obviously there is no need to waste time at this time, the most important thing is that the person has returned.
“OK!” So Zhang Xiangdong stuck his head out of the window and shouted to Tan Yuelong: "Master Tan, you can drive the car directly into the convoy, we will set off immediately!" ”
"Okay! Okay! Tan Yuelong replied excitedly.
Chen Ran picked up the walkie-talkie again and ordered the entire convoy: "Everyone pay attention, keep the formation of the convoy and the distance between the front and rear vehicles, let's go!" ”
This time, the entire convoy set off from the original 12 cars to 17 cars.
The first was Zhang Zeshan's 207, who took the lead in rushing out of the service area as a reconnaissance vehicle for the entire convoy.
The other vehicles then split into two columns. The motorhome and a sprinkler truck were side by side at the front of the convoy.
The armor of the RV is relatively thick, so it can be used as an armored vehicle.
And a water spray truck was transferred to the front of the convoy at Zhu Changshun's suggestion.
After Chen Ran and the others returned to the service area from the fire brigade, after being reminded by Zhu Changshun, Chen Ran and the others remembered that there was still a high-pressure water cannon on the sprinkler truck.
It turned out that there was no need for them to crash all the way back.
You can completely turn on the high-pressure water cannon on the car and wash away the zombies on the road.
In the past, Chen Ran often saw in the news that some other countries used water jets to suppress riots. Under the spray of high-pressure water cannons, the crowd of marchers can easily be washed around.
It's just that at that time, Chen Ran didn't think that he could use this trick.
And Zhu Changshun and they didn't have walkie-talkies, so they could only watch Chen Ran and them bump into the zombies all the way like bowling.
Now that they knew that there was still this trick, Chen Ran and the others of course agreed to move the water-spraying fire truck to the front.
Then followed by the RV and the water spray truck are the Jinbei car and the communication car, which are also side by side.
In this way, when the car was advancing, Qin Mengxue would be able to open the window and talk to her sister, which made her very happy.
Further behind are the Ambulances of the Transit and Iveco, which are of comparable size.
This was followed by field cookers and sleeper buses, then buses and another water jet.
By placing the water spray truck in the middle of the fleet, you can refill the sleeper buses and buses in time.
Mercedes-Benz trucks, which have been converted into laboratories, and Sinotruk trucks that pull cigarettes and other supplies are also side by side. Behind them were the ladder carts and the Dongfeng Tianlong of Tan Yuelong and others.
Finally, there are tankers and Liu Jinlong's 213.
After splitting into two columns, the length of the convoy was also a little shorter than before.
The number of people in the convoy has also increased from 51 to 76.
Although it is only less than one-third of Chen Ran's brigade in his previous life. But now the weapons and equipment of the convoy are not as good as the previous Chen Ran, and the overall situation of their brigade is much better.
There are not only 20 long guns, 32 pistols, some machetes, fire axes, a large number of daggers, sapper shovels and other cold weapons. There were even two armored vehicles.
There are now two more fire trucks with high-pressure water cannons.
These are the guarantees for their survival in the last days!

"Captain, captain, this is the reconnaissance vehicle, please reply if you receive it!"
Not long after the convoy set off from the high-speed service area, the voice of Zhang Zeshan in front of Chen Ran came from the walkie-talkie.
"Roger, please!" The reconnaissance car contacted them that there must be a situation ahead, so Chen Ran, who was studying the route of the convoy with his father Chen Shuyuan behind the car, immediately stopped discussing with Chen's father, picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly replied.
On the walkie-talkie, Zhang Zeshan continued to report: "Captain, on the highway about 500 meters from the service area, a group of small-scale zombies appeared, and the number was about 300!" It's very densely distributed! Almost blocked the road"
"Roger!" Chen Ran just frowned, as if he had expected such a situation. He was more worried about Zhang Zeshan's situation now, so he then asked, "How is your situation?" ”
Zhang Zeshan immediately replied: "We moved relatively fast, and we have already rushed through the zombie group." Now the zombies are attracted to us and are following behind our car. However, I guess that these zombies will not be able to catch up with us later, and will continue to move in your direction, so please be prepared! ”
"Understood! Stay safe yourselves! Chen Ran couldn't help reminding, and then Chen Ran thought about it, and while getting up and walking towards the cab, he pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie again, and said to the walkie-talkie: "No. 01 fire truck, please pay attention, now change the formation, our car will take the lead, your car will follow us, and prepare to use the high-pressure water gun." The formation of other vehicles remains the same! We rushed straight over. ”
300 zombies, such a dense appearance on the high speed, is also a lot of force.
On the 10th day of the apocalypse, most of the zombie strength reached more than 1.6 times the strength in front of them.
If we assume that the full strength of an average adult is 100 kilograms, then 300 zombies, multiplied by 1.6 times, is 48 tons of strength.
It's just a fully loaded water jet truck plus the total weight of the RV.
Overturning a 32-ton water jet truck and a 16-ton RV actually only takes half the power.
What's more, there are many small cars in the fleet that weigh no more than a few tons. Therefore, it must be treated with caution.
"No. 01 sprayer understands!"
There were two water spray trucks in the convoy, so Chen Ran simply numbered the two cars.
The No. 01 water spray truck is the one next to the RV, driven by Zhu Changshun and another firefighter, who is tasked with using high-pressure water cannons to clear the obstacles ahead of the convoy.
I didn't expect the water spray truck to be used so soon, Zhu Changshun was both excited and nervous.
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Chen Ran had already walked behind Xu Kai in the cab, and after holding the handrail, Chen Ran said to Xu Kai: "Brother Xu, accelerate the car to the front." ”
"Good!" Xu Kai had already heard Chen Ran's plan just now, and when he received Chen Ran's order, he immediately stepped on the accelerator a little more, allowing the RV to rush to the front of the convoy first.
