Chapter 35: Training
Five days later, the chicken farm.
According to Zhang Long's suggestion, people need to have a face-to-face fight with zombies to develop skills and courage to deal with zombies, and today is the day of formal training.
The survivors all gathered at the gate, including the man with the broken rib, who also came over and lay on a cart. Although he can't come on the field to train, it makes sense to watch. And it's horrible to be alone in the village.
Everyone has at least one weapon in their hands, shovels, forks, wooden sticks, all kinds of things, plus messy clothes, which makes people feel inexplicably shorter.
Only Zhang Longhe and Zhao Hu each carried a gun, attracting many envious eyes.
Everyone wants to find a few more guns, and it is the key to winning the only actual battle between ordinary people and zombies in recent times. It's a pity that I searched the village inside and out, and I couldn't find a third one, so I could only make the most of the cold weapon.
Zhang Zifeng was still carrying his crowbar, and although he looked ugly, no one would doubt his strength. Ren Fei was next to him, looking harmless to humans and animals, only Zhang Zifeng knew that she had the power to turn the tide of the battle at a critical time.
In the event of an accident, Ren Fei used his mental power, even if he couldn't control the zombie, at least he could make its behavior disordered, leaving time for Zhang Zifeng to dispose of the zombies.
However, today's protagonists are ordinary people, and the couple only plays a protective role.
Several cars, including cars and tricycles, were parked outside the door, so that in case of an accident, they could use the impact of the vehicles to attack or escape. Xiong Xianming became a member of the driver's class.
Everyone is dignified. Although everyone has done enough safety in advance and rehearsed the details repeatedly, tension is inevitable when it comes to the end.
Chu Zhaonan gave an order, the door slowly opened, and a foul smell came to the face, causing everyone to frown in unison.
It's not just because of the smell, but more importantly, it's a place that leaves a lot of bad memories for everyone. If it weren't for Zhang Long's repeated emphasis on the importance of training, no one would want to take the initiative to come back here.
The flat ground behind the gate still maintained the appearance of Zhang Zifeng's fierce battle that day, scattered with the stumps and broken arms of zombies, and on the ground were mottled dark blocks, which were the land soaked in the blood of zombies.
As for Jossen, he was beaten into a puddle of mud by the angry people that day, and traces of his presence can still be found on the broken couch.
Looking up slightly, looking through the railing, the sand was densely packed with zombies, hearing that there was movement here, the zombies were in a commotion, and they crowded to the fence, stretching out their arms and waving them wildly, making people's scalps explode.
These guys were gathered here with hard work, and they were supposed to be soldiers of Jossen. Now that the initiators have returned to heaven, they have become training aids for the survivors.
The clearing between the gate and the sand was the training ground, and the people walked in and confronted the zombies through a fence.
Someone proposed to clean up the zombie remains on the ground, which were horizontal and vertical, emitting a foul smell, too disgusting, but was stopped by Chu Zhaonan.
This harsh environment can interfere with people's state of mind, but it is closer to reality. Isn't one of the important purposes of today's training to temper people's minds?
There is a small door in the middle of the iron fence, open it, and the zombies can rush out. Zhang Zifeng consciously stood on the side of the door and did his duty as a guard.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stood on the other side. Since saving Su Qiaoyi that day, the two of them have been unable to leave their guns.
Both sides have the strength to defeat the zombies alone, and such a double insurance is to prevent accidents to the greatest extent.
Wang Chao and Mahan stood not far from the door, each holding a modified steel fork. It is to break the two teeth in the middle of the common four-toothed fork in the countryside to form a U-shaped half-circle, which is used to fork the neck of the zombie, thereby restricting its movement.
This method is not suitable for dealing with the mutated zombie in the cellar, and the man lying on the board is a lesson from the past. But there should be no problem dealing with this common thing in chicken farms – and that's part of what needs to be verified today.
Others follow the plan they have made and find their place. Chu Zhaonan, as today's commander-in-chief, was in place in the middle of the venue.
Looking around, Chu Zhaonan once again confirmed that everyone was in place, and made a STOP gesture to signal everyone to silence.
According to the plan, staying quiet is the first step in training, to divert the zombies' attention from the noisy crowd. In addition to psychological quality, training everyone's discipline in team combat is also very important.
Everyone's bodies seemed to be frozen, even Zhang Zifeng subconsciously held his breath, and only the slight sound of the wind and the occasional low roar of the zombies could be heard in the chicken farm. In the face of life and death, everyone is extremely focused.
After a few minutes or so, the zombies crowded on this side of the fence were noticeably scattered and turned into a state of idleness. Chu Zhaonan looked around at everyone, nodded slightly, and then raised his arm slightly.
The men standing in a row outside the fence were ordered to throw the stones in their hands into the distance.
The stones did not follow the trajectory of the parabola, and some smashed against the wall, making a "bumping" sound, and the sound of smashing on the iron window became muffled.
During the throwing, the men themselves try to avoid making noises so as not to attract the attention of the enemy.
A series of noises caused the zombies to brush their heads back, and a large number of zombies staggered in the direction from which the sound came, and the number of zombies gathered in front of the fence gate became even rarer.
Zhang Long, who was standing by the door, saw the opportunity, stepped forward with an arrow, and pulled open the iron bar stuck on the fence gate. Although he and Chu Zhaonan competed for leadership, they were still able to cooperate tacitly on this occasion.
This most dangerous role was Zhang Long who took the initiative to ask for Ying. According to Xiong's conspiracy theory, such a move is best suited to win hearts and minds, change the image of the former prestige in the bungalow, and prepare for the struggle for leadership.
In fact, this kind of thing is more suitable for Zhang Zifeng, who is harmless to zombies and animals, but he was politely refused. If you depend on him for everything, what's the point of training today? He was also specially told not to make a move as a last resort, and the closer he was to the actual combat training, the better the effect.
In order to prevent the zombie's arm from sticking out through the fence and scratching the body, Zhang Long put on three layers of gloves and thick clothes despite the hot weather, especially the two arms for key protection, at least to ensure that the zombie's sharp nails could not be torn off for protection.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, the moment the door was opened, a zombie who was leaning against the door fell out one by one, almost fell to the ground, and after standing firm, after a short period of confusion, he decided to grab Zhang Long who opened the door.
But before he could act, two iron forks were placed around his neck and crossed him to the side. Before the other zombies could react, Zhang Long jammed the fence door with a "click". The other zombies wanted to stretch out their arms to grab people, but Zhang Long had already deftly jumped away from a safe distance.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Long's whole body was soaked in cold sweat. I vowed to train everyone to have the courage to face the zombies, but when it really came to me, I was still nervous to death.
As for the zombies that ran out, they were forked all the way to the corner by the dynasty and Mahan, although they struggled all the way and roared from time to time, they still couldn't get rid of the shackles of the steel fork, and they didn't know if it was because the dynasty Mahan was too strong or this zombie was too weak.
The number of zombies released at one time can't be too much, otherwise it won't be training but real fighting. It is ideal to release only one. This kind of combat training should have been gradual.
The real training begins. The first one to play today was Xu Hong.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward in a few big steps, standing still more than a foot away from the zombie. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles during training, she deliberately found a black tight dress to wear, which looked neat and neat.
In her left hand, she held a clear glass bottle, half of which was gasoline pumped out of a car's fuel tank, and a large lump of cotton was plugged in the mouth of the bottle.
This Molotov cocktail was made by Chu Zhaonan according to the scene in the movie, as for whether it is effective on zombies, it is still unknown, now it is necessary to verify its effectiveness and power.
Previously, Xu Hong suggested using gasoline to burn the zombies, which was criticized as a waste of resources, but it was no problem to take out a little bit to deal with a zombie.
She held a disposable lighter in her right hand, and with a soft "clang-" sound, a small flame burst out, and then approached the cotton at the mouth of the bottle.
It can be clearly seen that Xu Hong's hands are a little shaky, and there is a lot of fine sweat on his face.
Soaked in gasoline cotton was ignited, the tongue of fire suddenly burst up, a trace of panic flashed on the woman's face, her hand slipped, and the bottle almost fell off.
Xu Hong took a deep breath, picked up the bottle and threw it forward, and thankfully, the bottle smashed accurately on the zombie's chest.
In fact, the two sides are only a few feet away, and the zombie target is big, but she still feels that it is not easy to hit it.
With a "pop-" sound, the glass bottle cracked like a metal product, making a crisp sound.
The pale yellow liquid splashed out, was ignited in an instant, the tongue of fire spread rapidly, and the zombie was soon wrapped in flames and smoke, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a human-shaped torch, and the heat wave that burst out made Xu Hong and the two men unconsciously take a few steps back, and by the way, loosen its restraints.
The ignited zombies let out a terrible roar, waved their arms wildly, and even rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but in vain.
The crowd of onlookers gasped in unison. I guessed that this kind of Molotov cocktail would be very powerful, but when I actually practiced it, I was still shocked by it.
Even the zombies inside the fence seemed to feel something, and instantly became in a commotion, hitting the iron railing violently, which made people feel terrifying.
