Chapter 398: The Unexpected Vehicle
Today, Chen Ran and his convoy have a total of 416 survivors. Deduct some drivers and people on duty, as well as some children.
In total, there were nearly 300 people who got out of the car and went to dig for salt.
The weight of table salt is heavier than water, and each person can get about 25 kilograms of salt for 300 people, which is 7.5 tons on average. Plus the original salt reserves in the fleet.
Now Chen Ran and his hands have a total of about 10 tons of salt. (Chen Ran had found salt in many supermarkets before, so there were actually a lot of salt reserves in the fleet.) )
These table salts, if calculated according to the standard of 5 grams of salt per person per day, are enough for Chen Ran's 400 people in his team to eat for 14 years.
So it's enough for them to use for a while.
The convoy immediately set off again.
Then at the end of this road, they began to change formations.
40 cars, from the original two cars in one row, to one car in a row, from this relatively wide road, to the winding country road.
At this time, Chen Ran's entire convoy was like a long dragon, moving quickly on this path.
Head straight to a small village in front of this trail.
Chen Ran estimated that this path was opened up by the people of this village in order to facilitate them to go to the salt farm.
According to drone reconnaissance, the scale of this village is not large. There are only about two dozen households.
Then after the village, after a short walk, you can enter the Xilin Left Banner and return to the 412 National Highway.
As a result, the convoy continued to rush forward at a rapid pace.
And soon, the convoy entered the confines of the village.
At this moment, Zhu Changshun, who was in the armored road opener in front, suddenly reported to Chen Ran on the walkie-talkie: "Captain, we found that there are survivors in this village!" ”
And asked: "Captain, there are not many zombies here, should we stop and save them?" ”
Zhu Changshun used to be a member of the fire brigade, and saving people has become a professional habit for him.
So when he saw the villagers trapped, he naturally thought of going to save people.
Especially now, the number of zombies in this village is indeed not very large.
But at this time, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Ran shook his head and replied, "No! We are not far from Xilin's Left Banner now, and the sound from the convoy should soon attract the zombies on Xilin's Left Banner. The road conditions here are so bad, the speed can't be increased at all, and the convoy is too long, in case we are besieged by zombies, we can't take care of each other, which is very dangerous. You have to rush to the national highway immediately and change back to the original formation of the convoy. ”
"Got it!" Zhu Changshun thought about it, and also felt that what Chen Ran said was indeed reasonable.
Although there are few zombies here now, the distance between this place and the urban boundary of Xilin Left Banner is only more than 200 meters.
As soon as the convoy stopped, a large number of zombies rushed over.
By that time they may not even have time to start the fleet.
You can't risk an entire convoy of people to save these people!
However, at this time, Chen Ran did not completely ignore these local survivors.
After he ordered the convoy to move on, he contacted Jiang Wenxi, who was in the middle of the convoy, and said, "Jiang Wenxi, you can find someone over there and use the horn to inform the survivors in this village." Tell them that if they have a car at home, they can drive behind our convoy by themselves! ”
As for those who don't have a car at home, or don't dare to come out.
Then Chen Ran had no choice, he could only do what he could.
He is not a savior, let alone a Buddha, and he can't save everyone.
And at this time, Chen Ran also reminded Jiang Wenxi again: "In addition, you have to inform them that they must wait for all the vehicles in our convoy to pass through the village before they follow." ”
"The road here is so narrow," he explained, "if they had a vehicle coming in now, our formation would be out of line!" he explained. ”
In fact, Chen Ran had just asked Jiang Wenxi, who was in the middle of the convoy, to inform the people in this village. I just want to make a time difference.
After all, it is unlikely that the people in this village will drive out immediately after receiving the notice.
Always prepare, pack your things, or find your car keys or something.
By the time they were ready to drive out, their motorcade should have passed through the village.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as Chen Ran's words were finished, he received a report from the vehicle behind: "Captain, this is car No. 14, and a car is coming to us from the side road, it seems that it wants to merge into our convoy!" ”
Chen Ran frowned suddenly, and immediately replied: "Car No. 14, let them stop immediately!" Tell them that if they want to go with us, they have to follow our convoy! Don't come over now! ”
"Yes!" The driver of car No. 14 immediately returned.
They then asked the co-pilot to open the window and start shouting at the vehicle that was trying to merge into their convoy.
But I don't know if it's because their voice is too low and the other party doesn't hear it.
The other party was still frightened by the zombies chasing them behind, and was indifferent to the shouting of the driver of car No. 14.
still continued to rush towards Chen Ran's convoy.
In short, the shouting of the driver of car No. 14 did not work.
So the driver of car No. 14 immediately reported to Chen Ran: "Captain, this is car No. 14, and the other party ignored our warning!" Still approaching our convoy! And it's fast, what to do? ”
At this time, Chen Ran immediately replied with some annoyance: "We can't let him disrupt our team formation!" Fire support team, shoot directly, and immediately force him to stop me! ”
"Understood!" On the side of the fire support team, someone immediately replied.
And soon, "da-da-da-......" a burst of machine-gun sounds sounded.
One of the two machine gunners on the roof of car No. 14 immediately fired a shuttle of bullets at the front of the car that was rushing towards them.
The bullets hit the muddy pavement, and immediately burst into puffs of smoke and dust.
At the same time, the sound was also very loud, which successfully forced the car to stop.
At this time, Chen Ran then ordered all the combatants: "All combatants pay attention, if other vehicles are found and they intend to insert themselves into the middle of our convoy, they don't need to report it, and all of them will be forced to stop with bullets." We must not let them disrupt our convoy formation! ”
He continued, "We are willing to accept other human survivors, but we must be willing to do our bidding! We don't need to be polite to those who are unwilling to obey our commands, and even want to interfere with the normal progress of our convoy! ”
"Yes!" The combatants in the convoy replied one after another.
