Chapter 38: Prices are sluggish
It was late at night when I returned to the rented building, and everyone had come back, and they were gathering together to tinker with the crossbow I had bought with rice, and my brother, who had helped me keep my gun, hurriedly handed me a cloth bag with three guns and all the bullets.
I fell directly on the table and began to load the bullet, the power went out halfway through, the brothers hurriedly turned on the flashlight, Wu Jun also joined the ranks of loading the bullet, we handed over the loaded gun to everyone, Guo Shan and Lu Yang were in contact with the real gun at one time, curious, Ding Wei played a few times when he was abroad.
The rest of the explanation work was handed over to Wu Jun and Ding Wei, and I directly took the three Liusi loaded with bullets and walked upstairs.
I didn't expect to give a gift to the three girls for the first time, and it was actually a gun, but the three girls liked it, and it was also a self-defense weapon, Winnie had played with guns abroad, and handed over the gun to the three of them, and let Winnie teach them, seeing that the three of them were very interested in the bed with flashlights, I consciously withdrew from the door and came to my room to lie down.
Yesterday I didn't sleep all night guarding the city, and today I drove for another day, and I was really sleepy, and it didn't take long for me to fall into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, I washed up casually, took out the walkie-talkie, and when the brothers arrived, I asked about what they had learned.
"This city used to be a food factory, and where we are now is an attached city, and the main city is not far behind, but we can't get in there, and the power station and water supply system should be over there." Ding Wei said.
"They don't seem to have a high demand for cars, and there are a lot of idle cars in the city." Guo Shan said.
"There are about 30,000 people in front of this city, but the refugees alone are close to 6,000, as Ding Wei said, our current location is the attached city, there are about 20,000 people in this attached city alone, and the city guards are about 1,000 people, all of them are stationed in the inner city, they have two squads outside the city, the main task is to divert the flow of corpses and avoid head-to-head confrontation, and their main weapon is this." Lu Yang said and picked up the crossbow in his hand.
"You go on." I said.
"But we have these in our hands that they have eliminated, and they should use more advanced ones to guard the city guards." Lu Yang said.
"The matter of developing weapons will be left to your people and Ding Wei." I looked at Tan Jingwen and said.
"Okay, but now we don't have the equipment or the materials." Tan Jingwen said.
"You make a list of the equipment and materials you need." I said to Tan Jingwen.
"Okay, I'll sort it out." Tan Jingwen said and walked towards the door.
"They've never gone head-to-head with zombies?" I said to Landing Young.
"That's not true, there have been a few battles before, at first they also used guns, but then they found out that it would only attract more zombies, and then they switched to crossbows, but they have no experience in hand-to-hand combat." Lu Yang said.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? I asked.
"According to the information we have gathered, since the guns are no longer used, they have set up two squads outside the city, and the zombies will be led away by the two squads, and the small part that is not led will be dispatched by the city guards to shoot at the wall, as for who the city lord is, we have not yet figured it out." Lu Yang said.
"Did the brother who was sent out yesterday come back?" I asked Wu Jun.
"Not yet." Wu Jun said.
"Okay, then everyone take a break, and when the three brothers who went out yesterday come back, we will think about what to do next." I said.
According to the data collected by everyone, since the inner city can generate electricity and water supply, it should have its own food supply, and since the outer city is based on rice, it should also be to provide some food support for the inner city.
I was still analyzing the data, and Tan Jingwen ran in with a piece of paper.
"Big brother, look at it." Tan Jingwen said and handed me the paper in his hand.
I took a general look at the equipment he needed, basically some common tools, such as hammer wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, pliers and pumps, but the uncommon ones are welding equipment.
"That's all?" I asked, surprised.
"Isn't this taking into account the difficult situation now, so I can only keep everything simple and try to do it by hand." Tan Jingwen said.
"You are very thoughtful, in the future, we have our own place, I will definitely find you the best equipment." I stood up and said solemnly.
"I'm sure that day will come soon." Tan Jingwen looked at me and said seriously.
These things are not difficult to find, I directly handed over the piece of paper written by Tan Jingwen to Lu Yang, and asked Lu Yang to arrange it, and the next thing is to wait for the three brothers who were sent out yesterday.
The three brothers have not come back, I am in a panic, I didn't go to the shop I rented yesterday, let Lu Yang arrange a few brothers to clean up, Wu Junlongjiu and I came directly to the city gate, looking at the road in the distance.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Long Jiu said.
"Shut your crow's mouth, my three brothers are very clever." Wu Jun said.
"Here we are." I said.
My eyesight is now on par with binoculars, they can't see but I can, and these three guys have brought back two trucks, with the SUV leading the way, and the two trucks following behind.
"Big brother, are you stunned, who is anyone?" Long Jiu said.
"It's really coming, and it's three cars." Wu Jun pointed to the distance and said.
"Long Jiu, when it stabilizes, I'll find a doctor for you, you must have a problem with your eyesight." I said.
Three cars came straight to us and stopped, and the three brothers jumped out of the car and ran towards us.
"Big brother, I've found a treasure." A brother said.
I quickly gestured to the people around him with my eyes and said, "Go back and talk." ”
The three of us got into the SUV directly, the three cars drove towards the small building we rented, and the six people who stopped the car came directly to my room.
"Tell me, I've found something." I said to one of my brothers.
"About 300 kilometers, there is a small village, but there are too many zombies in it, we didn't dare to go in, these two trucks stopped at the entrance of the village, we thought there were supplies in the car, but we finally jumped in the car and found that the car was empty, thinking that we could use it and drove it back." The brother said.
"How many zombies are there? How many households are there? I asked.
"Let's count it, the zombies are estimated to be three hundred, and there are estimated to be fifty families!" A brother said.
"Well done, draw me a map, I'll take a look, you guys go rest." I said.
"Wu Jun, you stay and watch the house, so as not to have any accidents." I said to Wu Jun.
"Lu Yang, you bring seven brothers here." I took out the walkie-talkie and said.
"Guo Shan, you can find a way to get a few trucks." I said over the intercom.
Soon Lu Yang appeared in front of me with seven brothers.
"Big brother, do you have a mission?" Lu Yang asked.
"The three brothers who were sent out yesterday found a village, and I was going to go and see it." I said.
"Big brother, what about me?" Long Jiu asked excitedly.
"You go with me." I said to the dragon.
When Long Jiu heard what I said, he glanced at Wu Jun proudly, Wu Jun couldn't sit still, and said, "Big brother, why don't you take them with me?" ”
"You have followed me the longest, and you are more experienced in dealing with emergencies, so I will take them out to study and learn." I said to Wu Jun.
"Okay, you go to Tan Jingwen to get your weapons and get ready to go." I said to the people.
Not long after everyone left, Guo Shan came back happily.
"How's it going, did you get the car?" I asked.
"I got four big trucks, and the cars were in good condition, and they helped me fill up the gas and help me drive downstairs." Guo Shan said excitedly.
"Yo, yes, how did you get it?" I asked, a little surprised.
"Got something to change!" Guo Shan said seriously.
"What did you get in exchange?" I asked, a little nervously.
"I took four cigarettes from our supply truck in exchange, one cigarette for one truck, which is so cheap." Guo Shan said proudly.
"What? You idiot, one cigarette for four is about the same. I said, covering my face.
You must know that tobacco and alcohol can be regarded as real luxuries in this world, and those four cigarettes are my last inventory, I am reluctant to smoke, Guo Shan, a fool, must have been deceived.
"His grandmother's actually dared to lie to me, I went to settle accounts with them." Guo Shan said that he was about to walk out the door.
I hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Forget it, don't make trouble in other people's territory, bear with it first, it's okay to walk around the city more, understand some prices, I'll take people out to do errands, and if you have any problems when I'm not there, you can ask Wu Jun." I continued.
After appeasing Guo Shan, I walked directly downstairs, the brothers were ready to go, the command car took the lead, Long Jiu drove, Lu Yang was in the co-pilot, I took a reluctant Xiao Huang to sit in the back seat, the remaining seven brothers drove six trucks behind us, and Lu Yang commanded the convoy according to the map drawn by the brothers who came back from exploring the road yesterday.
Due to the late departure, it was already afternoon when we arrived, and indeed as the spies said, there were 300 zombies in this village, but this is better, indicating that the things in this village must not have been touched, I asked everyone to hide the car and take the road towards the village.
"Big brother, counting you, we are only ten people, how can so many zombies do it?" Lu Yang asked.
"What gear did you bring?" I asked knowingly.
"A crossbow, of course." Lu Yang said.
"Isn't that enough, I didn't ask you to go up and fight hard, did you see the two small buildings at the entrance of the village?" I said.
"See." Long Jiu and Lu Yang said at the same time.
"You two take three people to the top of the building on the left, and I'll take four people to the building on the right." I said to the two of them.
