Chapter 218: Overnight stay in Zijin
I looked at the buildings in the distance with a telescope, and was attracted by the sound of firecrackers on our side just now, many survivors appeared on the roof or window of the building, looking at us from afar, of course, they were all hiding outside the range of rifles, I think, except for the "big bull" like the woman in red, who doesn't care much about the existence of other forces, the other survivors in other cities also follow the law of the dark jungle, and they are all on guard against each other, especially for outsiders like us.
We are outnumbered, well-equipped, and have just established our authority, and we don't need to guard against them, so let's see if we can find what I want in this metal industrial park.
Everyone on Yangshan Island understands the importance of Modao, and they also attach great importance to this search work, and they have searched the building in detail with their respective subordinates, there are equipment, and there are also high-quality steel, but unfortunately, the diesel generator (backup power system) here is located on the first floor, soaked in seawater, unusable, there is no electricity, and those equipment are just decorations.
But I couldn't make a trip in vain, so I asked them to load the steel labels suitable for making Mo knives onto the fishing boats and pack them away.
After this battle, we entered the city again, and did not encounter any difficulties and obstacles, I saw at least five relatively large "bases", no one, through the inference of materials, the size of each base is in the dozens, there are men and women, and it is very strange that in the survivors here, the ratio of men and women is more coordinated (analyzed by drying clothes), basically one to one, and I thought that this place was not attacked by zombies, but just a sparsely populated ordinary water town.
As we get closer to the city center, there are fewer traces of human activity, and there are more and more zombies in the surrounding buildings, just like in Fairy Tale City, where zombies occupy the center of the city and survivors are forced to survive on the edge of the city.
After walking for a while, the buildings on both sides of the front are too high, I was worried that I would be attacked by some head iron zombies falling from the sky, so I didn't continue to move forward, and after studying the map with Yin Luo, I decided to bypass the city center, take the enemy with few zombies, and dredge the same return, anyway, our goal is the Purple Mountain, there are no survivors in the city center ahead, who do we show off?
As we walked through the fringes, we met several waves of survivors, but none of them greeted us, either from afar, or indifferently, or from hiding in the shadows.
During the journey, Yin Luo marked the locations of the various survivor bases found along the way on the map, and I asked her to observe and observe by the way, to see where there is a suitable place that can be provided for us to use, didn't Shan Dan say it, there are a lot of flying corpses on the Purple Mountain, which are not suitable for us to survive, judging from the situation along the way, what Shan Dan said is true, if there are no flying corpses on the Purple Mountain, it is estimated that the survivors of Jinling City will not be willing to soak in the water and not go to live on land.
An hour later, we reached a position about 200 meters from the foot of the Purple Mountain, where the altitude was sufficient, the sea was gone, and there were still parts of the city built on the mountain in front of us that were not flooded, but it didn't look like it was inhabited.
I looked at my watch, at half past three in the afternoon, it is not appropriate to go up the mountain again tonight, first settle down by the water, and then explore the mountain tomorrow.
Two fishing boats docked, I climbed a three-story building, looked around, and found that not far from the "seaside", there is a building that seems to be a middle school, there is a playground in the middle, surrounded by trees and teaching buildings, I took Yin Luo to investigate, it is called Purple Mountain Middle School, it is a school integrating junior high and high school, the place I saw before is only a corner of the campus, and there is a larger area behind, in addition to the teaching building, there is also a dormitory building.
But I didn't dare to set up the camp too far from the water's edge, in case we were attacked by zombies at night, we had to be able to get on the boat as soon as possible.
I asked Xiaoxiao to drive the two boats to the woods outside the school wall, clear a direct passage in the woods, and tear down the wall on this side of the passage, as a "wharf", the closest building to the wharf, not the teaching building, but the school's own gymnasium, only a dozen meters, a little farther away, the two-story canteen, Dongdong and Dong went to the cafeteria, with the help of the kitchen utensils there to arrange dinner.
My cousin and I entered the gymnasium, which was actually a low-cost steel frame structure, similar to the factory building, with two basketball courts, plus six badminton courts, and a small number of seats around the perimeter, and on one side of the gymnasium, there were several offices, and on the other side were showers and toilets.
"On this roof, even ordinary zombies can't be prevented, right?" The cousin shook his head and said, there is only a layer of color steel plates, and there are dozens of lights hanging underneath.
"I chose this place not because of the sturdy buildings, but because of the proximity to the sea." I said, there are two strategies against the enemy, one is defense, the other is to escape, to deal with ordinary enemies, we have such a strong firepower, defense is enough, but to deal with fourth-order zombies, especially a large number of fourth-order zombies, our firepower is insufficient, or accuracy is not enough, or it is better to go.
After observing the gymnasium, I asked Lian Ye to take one hundred and twenty female students to the dormitory building at the back to find something that could be used.
Twenty minutes later, the female trainees came back with a dilapidated truck that had not been started with a lighter, and the body was full of mattresses, bedding, pillows, etc., and it seemed that tonight's heating had fallen, unlike last night and the night before, when everyone slept on the cold ground.
At five o'clock, the meal is opened, the meal is staggered, and the vigilance is always maintained.
At six o'clock, all the members finished eating and returned to the gymnasium, Xiaoxiao arranged shifts on duty, eight groups, and one shift of 1.5 hours.
I don't have to be on duty, while the sky is not yet dark, I selected a few elite soldiers and strong generals, and went to search the neighborhood to see if I could find resources - the previous dinner was obtained from the last resources on the ship, and tomorrow morning's breakfast has become a problem, and it is not easy to live.
This is a suburb of the city, not very prosperous, we along a road that looks like a commercial street, out of half a kilometer, only to find a grain and oil store, hurriedly ran in to see, only a small amount of rice and flour meat in the counter is intact, the back of the warehouse shed leaking rain, the food and materials inside are flooded, can no longer eat.
"Okay, what kind of bicycle do you want, this should be enough for two meals." Cousin said.
A total of 320 kilograms of rice, 230 kilograms of flour, a lot of oil, there are more than 20 barrels, which is indeed enough to eat for a few days.
Next door is a small supermarket, most of the food is expired, only a small amount of canned, this is not important, what matters is table salt, two boxes were found, Meizizi.
There is only staple food, no vegetables - meat does not have to worry, I have observed on the way before, there are a lot of fish in the sea, there are fishing tools on the fishing boat, you can catch fish at any time to eat, the vegetable problem is not easy to solve, although it is a suburb of the city, but it is not like Yangshan Island, every household has a vegetable field, no, even the land is rare, the land under the feet, almost all covered by asphalt roads and cement - the city, is not this virtue.
However, I looked through the binoculars, at the foot of the Purple Mountain, a green, emerald green, not a thick green, that is the color of herbaceous plants, not woods, about a kilometer away from us, it should be farmland, maybe there are vegetables and fruits to pick, but over there, it is too close to the Purple Mountain, what if you encounter a fourth-order zombie.
I look at the sunset, it's long gone, only the afterglow is half a day, and the twilight can still last for about twenty minutes, forget it, it's too dangerous, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.
Back in the middle school gymnasium, most of the students have been lying down and falling asleep after a hard day's work, and the entire gymnasium floor is occupied by mattresses and beauties, a bit like a resettlement site after the earthquake.
I wasn't sleepy, I sat on the steps of the doorway and smoked, and in the summer she came and sat side by side beside me, and she was the last to join, and she wasn't put into any group, and went straight to me.
But she never spoke (mainly to rub cigarettes with me, after all, the cigarettes in my pocket are the best in the team, which is one of the few special things I have as the leader), and I don't know what to talk to her, so the two of them just sat and listened to the whispering and gossip of the two female patrol cadets on another step not far away.
The starlight in the sky, the dust, and the crickets, and the faint birdsong from the direction of the Purple Mountain, in a natural harmony, I suddenly felt that human beings were superfluous.
"Teacher Xia, look over there, there's a cat." Summer poked me in the arm.
I followed her finger and saw a pair of small green eyes on the wall, looking at us curiously.
"Look at its silhouette, it's not a cat." I say.
"What's that?" Summer asked.
"Fox." I guessed, probably, 80% sure.
