Chapter Eighty-Eight: City of Zombies
Ever since Nikolai got Dracula's experiment log, he has been seriously engaged in translation work. More than half of the large boxes of logs have been translated, and they are neatly placed on the shelves according to different classification codes.
Wang Xijia likes Nikolai's meticulous energy, and has a rigorous style of a scientist. Whether the Bloodline is good or bad, they have an unusually ordinary enthusiasm for learning.
"Doctor, does Dracula's journal record zombies?" asked Wang Xika.
"What zombie?" Nikolai had not heard of the term.
"Did Dracula ever record a moving corpse?" said Wang Xijia in a more understandable word.
"It has been recorded that Dracula said that on the western continent there is an herb that is used to anoint the body so that the body does not decay. Nikolai said.
On the western continent, herbs should refer to the materials used in Egypt to make mummies.
"Is there an antidote to this medicine? For example, the kind that quiets down the corpse after spraying. Wang Xijia asked.
"What is the antidote? Once the corpse uses this medicine and becomes the kind of zombie you said, the process is irreversible. It can only be burned with fire. In addition, Dracula added his own medicine to the western herbs, making zombies aggressive and contagious. He had already used this medicine in the city of Carthage, where the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent converged, and that city should have turned into a zombie city. Nikolai said.
"Okay, thanks. I think in order to maintain the peace of our continent, I must deal with this zombie city. Do you have any suggestions?" asked Wang Xika. He knew that if zombies spread in the world, the consequences would be unimaginable. This has been depicted in both World War Z and The Walking Dead.
"My suggestion is to do what you want, at present the Eastern Continent has been conquered by you, but the Western Continent and the Sea are not under your jurisdiction. You have to be the conqueror of the world. Nikolai said.
"Let's talk about the conquest of the world later, I'm going to solve the zombie thing first. "Although Wang Xika conquered a large area of land, it was his own passive defense to defeat the invaders, so as to obtain their land. He never took the initiative to provoke a war. Whether it's the land of craftsmen, werewolves, or vampires, it's all because they came to invade themselves and were defeated.
But the lion people on the western continent, the gills and sea people in the bottom of the sea, did not take the initiative to provoke themselves. If you attack them and occupy their land in order to conquer the world, then you will not become an aggressor?
And even if he conquered the African continent, that is, the "western" continent that Nikolai called it, what would he do to conquer the sea? He would not have the ability and motivation to attack the gills and sea people who lived at the bottom of the sea! Even if he conquered the sea and the African continent, he would not have conquered the whole world. Judging from the geographical knowledge of Wang Xijia's later generations, there are also North American continents, South American continents, Antarctic continents, and large and small islands in the world, such as the Australian continent, Greenland and so on. If you really want to fight, then you don't have to do anything else in your life, just fighting is over. It's better to solve the zombies first, develop science and technology well, and build smartphones as soon as possible is the king.
"My advice is that if you want to get rid of the zombies completely, you have to cut off the source. Dracula also has a lab in Carthage, where zombies are spawned. You may need to destroy Carthage completely. Nikolai said.
"Okay, thanks. So, please continue to translate Dracula's experiment log, and if there are any important discoveries, we will contact you. ”
After saying goodbye to Nikolai, Wang Xika went to the seaside hut where he had worked for the past two days, and delivered the design drawings of the undersea gundam that had been drawn to the dockyard for them to produce according to them.
The keel of the shipyard has been built, and if it weren't for this incident, it should be able to sail away in the near future. Wang Xijia explained the precautions to the carpenter Liu and the old shipwrights in the dock, and explained the content of the underwater shooting to Ah Snake.
After these things were dealt with, Wang Xijia breathed a sigh of relief and continued to embark on the journey to the west, this time, the enemy he had to face was zombies.
The Sphinx lived in the werewolf grassland for a few days, and felt that everything here was so new and good, and the first thing he said when he saw Wang Xijia was: "Can we also build some things such as electric lights, telephones, etc., in our city of Thebes? ”
"What's your queen's name?" asked Wang Xika.
"Cleocro," Sphinx replied.
This name is very similar to the historical "Cleopatra", and I don't know if it is this woman.
"Okay, but I'm going to solve the zombie problem first. Zombies are not only a threat to your country, but also to our human country. Wang Xika said.
"How are you going to deal with zombies?" asked the Sphinx curiously.
"Purify with fire. Wang Xika said.
Wang Xijia converted two fire trucks into two large flamethrower armored vehicles, brought a few pieces of bulletproof armor and helmets, plus two heavy machine guns, about 50 small flamethrowers, two tanks, two logistics supply vehicles loaded with food, and set off with about 50 werewolf soldiers.
This is also a lesson learned from the past, every time there is a war, the army is mobilized, and as a result, most of the people follow to fight soy sauce to strengthen their momentum, which is useless.
If you bring more people, the probability of someone in the army being bitten by zombies will increase. This time, the equipment you brought is enough to kill zombies.
The convoy thought of Dracula's Castle, a gorgeous castle that had been left untended for months and was already crawling with vines. If the tenure develops, the plants will grow out of the cracks in the walls, from the floor, and the whole building will collapse. The power of nature is great, and if time is enough, any human building will be swallowed up by nature.
Wang Xijia asked the troops to rest at Dracula's Castle, and by the way, all the weeds on the wall were removed. I checked the castle again to see if there was any poison or anything left.
No, the castle was looted clean.
There is an airport not far from the castle, which was built by Wang Xijia, who ordered the soldiers to wait in place, and took the Sphinx and the two to Carthage City by plane to check it out.
This is the first time the Sphinx has taken a plane, and it feels extremely magical, and Wang Xika is treated like a god. Carthage is located more than 500 kilometers from Dracula's Castle, and according to later maps, it is probably located near Tunisia.
Wang Xijia drove the plane around the city of Carthage a few times, most of the buildings in this city are stone structures, and there is a house in the center of the city that is similar to the architectural style of Dracula's castle, which should be Dracula's laboratory here.
The atmosphere in the city is very eerie, in an ordinary city you can always see pedestrians on the street, if you see a low-flying plane hovering overhead, there will be onlookers.
But not in Carthage, and the pedestrians on the street moved slowly and unresponsively to the plane overhead—it seemed that these people had turned into zombies.
There are still a few scattered zombies outside the city that are moving around at a slow pace, and the zombie that the Sphinx tracked down last time should be one of these zombies.
There is no doubt that the whole city has been transformed into a zombie city.
After Wang Xijia finished his reconnaissance, he turned into a plane and returned to the castle. He already had a tactical plan in mind.
First, the soldiers were ordered to drive to Carthage in tanks and spray trains, and all the scattered zombies outside the city were machine-gunned, and then burned them all. A trench three meters wide and two meters deep was dug around the city, and the ditch was filled with oil.
Everyone stood at 5-metre intervals, holding flamethrowers.
Wang Xijia himself piloted the plane to tilt the oil towards the city of Carthage from the air, and the zombies in the city did not know how to dodge, allowing the oil to pour on his head and body.
Wang Xijia poured oil back and forth into the city, pouring millions of tons, directly soaking the entire city in oil, and even some oil flowed from the city to the trenches outside the city - there was too much oil, and the land in the city could not hold it.
Rao hadn't been on a plane before, but he could guess what Wang Xika wanted to do - he wanted to turn the whole city into a sea of fire.
"Okay, ready, light the fire. After Wang Xijia finished speaking, he threw a flame from the plane.
"Boom!" A huge flame instantly rose in the center of the city, and the flames were hundreds of meters high, almost licking Wang Xijia's plane wings.
Looking down from the plane, all you could see was a patch of red—the color of the flames.
It's strange that zombies, although they are unconscious and don't know pain, know how to dodge flames. Countless zombies screamed and ran out of the city, trying to escape from this hellish place, but how could they escape? Most of the zombies were burned to ashes halfway through the run. Wang Xijia had already calculated everything, outside the city was a trench full of oil, and the few zombies who had escaped by luck also fell into the trench, waiting for them was the same fury from the flamethrower.
To be honest, standing outside the city and shooting zombies with Gatling, and then burning them with a flamethrower after sweeping them is a very decompressing process. It was also the first time that Wang Xika really heard the screams of zombies, which were neither like humans nor beasts, just the sound of "ahhh
The Sphinx is also the first time to come into contact with this type of fighting, and the changes in excitement have gone wrong, he used to be a sphinx, but now he has become a human lion, and his whole head has become a lion's head, and he let out an excited lion roar: "Whoa!"
For a moment, the clatter of machine guns, the slightest sound of flamethrowers, the roar of a sphinx and the desperate cries of zombies mingled to compose a symphony of fire.
The fire burned for 5 days before it ended, and the entire city of Carthage had been scorched, and there were no more living creatures in the city - this zombie city had been completely purified by the flames.
