Chapter 40: Search Squad
"And what do you think?" Chu Zhaonan asked rhetorically.
Zhang Long seemed to be waiting for him, cleared his throat, and said: "I suggest that professional people do professional things, draw some capable forces from the team, and form two or three search teams, each team is equipped with one or two vehicles, so that it can be attacked and defended, and this village is the center, constantly searching externally, finding useful materials and loading them immediately, and collecting information by the way." ”
"Others stay here, recuperate, keep watch, cook, and rotate if necessary. If there is a major discovery, everyone will act collectively. ”
At the end, he also added: "Just like Su Qiaoyi last time, although she was chased by zombies, it happened that we were all nearby so that there was no damage, but will this luck last?" Let these women do such dangerous things again, and sooner or later, we will meet with misfortune. It is not easy for everyone to survive, and we cannot afford to lose anyone again. ”
Xu Hong pouted on the side, she was also a woman, she was a master of throwing Molotov cocktails, why did she become so unbearable in his mouth.
"I have a question," Cui Shu spread his hands and said, "After we separated, how can we contact each other?" In case something happens to the front line or the rear, such as being attacked by zombies, how do you notify the people on the other side? ”
Zhang Long was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem.
"So we can't be separated easily, unity is strength." Chu Zhaonan interjected in time.
"If you act collectively, you will also encounter this problem." Cui Shu said, not taking sides: "We are a convoy, the front car and the rear car will leave a certain distance, in case something is abnormal, it is difficult for us to coordinate actions in time." ”
Only then did everyone realize that the current level of communication was still in the stage of relying on roaring, and there was no major obstacle in this small village, and it would be a big problem to go out.
"It looks like we're going to have to find something to charge as soon as possible, preferably a diesel generator." Xu Hong muttered: "It's really inconvenient to live without a mobile phone. ”
Everyone thinks so. In addition to communication, mobile phones are also a tool for entertainment.
These days, people rest collectively on the basketball court, and after dark, they don't even light campfires much, and there is no entertainment other than chatting. And just chatting can quickly become boring, and eventually everyone gradually becomes "working at sunrise and resting at sunset".
If it were before, it would be good to fight the glory of the king!
Cui Shu shook his head and said, "The generator is necessary to find, but if you want to call, don't expect it." Mobile phone communication requires a large number of base stations and satellites in the sky, and mobile phones cannot make calls when they have power. If you can find a walkie-talkie, the practicality is greater, and the signal transmission distance can reach at least a few miles. ”
Cui Shu is not asking questions, but reminding everyone that in addition to food, communication tools are also important materials.
"There are also things for women," Xu Hong added in time. Although it is very general, everyone probably understands what she means. This includes, but is not limited to, menstrual necessities, beautiful clothes, and cosmetics.
In the past, in the bungalow, everyone lived in embarrassment, especially for the women, who were humiliated and had no privacy at all. Now that I have gained freedom, I naturally have to pay attention to it.
Cui Shu glanced at Chu Zhaonan, and then said: "I think that under the current situation of inconvenient contact, it is indeed not efficient for the team to conduct a collective search, and there are men and women in our team, strong and weak, only a reasonable division of labor can exert greater strength, it is better to form a capable search team for the time being, first make a small-scale attempt, and make plans now." ”
Except for Xu Hong, who played soy sauce, and Zhang Zifeng, who didn't speak easily, the voting ratio is now two to one, and Chu Zhaonan no longer insists on his own views.
The final search plan was based on Zhang Long's opinion and was slightly modified.
A total of three independent search teams were formed, the first team was headed by Zhang Long, with Wang Dynasty Mahan and Zhao Hu as members, equipped with a car to transport people and a weapon, plus a tractor to pull goods. The operations in the village these days have given them a lot of experience in looting supplies.
The second team was led by Cui Shu, with a few uninjured men, also two cars, collecting information about zombies while searching for supplies, and moving in the opposite direction of Zhang Long.
The third team is Zhang Zifeng and three people, moving in any direction. To be exact, this is not a search team, there is no specific goal, Zhang Zifeng's strong strength gives him more power to move freely.
There has been no invasion of foreign zombies these days, which has calmed everyone's hearts a lot, which allowed Zhang Zifeng to go out of the village to act. In fact, there is a more important reason, after Zhang Zifeng accepted everyone's blood, he was considered to finally have a request for survivors, and everyone finally didn't worry that he would say goodbye.
These three teams already include all the elite forces of the survivor team. As for the others, they all stayed in the village, and Chu Zhaonan and Xu Hong were in charge here.
In addition to regular actions such as cooking and recuperating from injuries, the people who stayed behind also had to do some things to enhance security, such as setting up checkpoints, making weapons, and reinforcing walls, so as to maximize the evolution of the village in the direction of the fortress.
The next day, when the red sun jumped out of the horizon, the three search teams set off at the same time, this was the first time that everyone separated after escaping from the cage, and they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, and their expressions were quite solemn, even Zhang Long, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, was a little weak in his heart, ordinary people were actually very vulnerable in front of zombies.
Chu Zhaonan specially explained that all the search teams, whether they had gains or not, must return to the village before dark, otherwise they would default to an accident. With the strength of the current team, it may not be possible to send people to the rescue, and everyone's choice is most likely to be a group transfer - so don't stay out easily.
This added to the tension at the scene.
The atmosphere in the car, where only Zhang Zifeng and the three of them were riding, was quite relaxed. With the great god Zhang Zifeng here, what else is there to fear?
Xiong Xianming, in particular, flashed a hint of cunning in his eyes. He wasn't interested in going to the village to find a walkie-talkie or anything to eat, but was always thinking about his Subaru, the food in the trunk.
The little stuff found in the village can compare to the supermarket in the big city. The canned ham sausages and the like that I brought in my backpack before have been exhausted, and now I eat the white rice and a little pickles that Zhang Long paid tribute to every day, and the birds will fade out of my mouth.
And the supplies stored on Subaru are all carefully selected by Zhang Zifeng, and they are rich and delicious, if they can be retrieved, they can be eaten for a while.
In order to make it clear that Zhang Zifeng's special status, Chu Zhaonan deliberately gave him the best car he found, a new Passat, and Xiong Xianming became the driver as a matter of course.
The car's good handling and exquisite interior made Xiong Xianming's mood even more pleasant, and he even couldn't wait, and with one foot on the accelerator, the Passat flew out of the village in a puff of smoke.
Behind the road guards on both sides of the road are wheat fields that connect to the skyline. The morning sun shines on the earth, and the rising sun paints the golden ears of wheat with a layer of red color, which is very beautiful.
Coupled with the slightly cool air blowing in from the half-open car window, the three of them felt a hint of the atmosphere of an outing, and their mood soared.
It's not bad to watch out for zombies all day long, worry about drinking blood, or conduct dangerous experiments, and relax like this once in a while.
It would be nice if you could listen to a piece of music on the radio. Xiong Xianming habitually turned on the radio, only to hear the noise of "squeak, lala", simply turned it off, and hummed a song by himself, which made the two of them frown.
"Are you sure about this path?" Zhang Zifeng looked ahead and asked, interrupting his incomplete tune by the way.
The asphalt road winds into the distance, and he can be sure that he has never been here. When the two of them pursued Jossen, they passed through large wheat fields and did not take any road.
"Not sure." Xiong Xianming replied with a grin: "But what does it matter, if you can't find it, you should go out for a ride." After thinking about it, he added: "There is only this big road out of the village, and if you go along here, you will be able to find our car." ”
Zhang Zifeng gave him a roll of his eyes, why does this guy feel particularly unreliable when he is relaxed? The last time I was on night duty, I swore yes, but I still slept like a pig.
Ren Fei pursed his lips on the side and teased Xiong Xianming: "Are you really willing to give up?" I see you wandering around the pile of women every day, and I think you're happy. "There are only three people left, and there is no need to shy away from talking.
Zhang Zifeng suddenly came to the spirit, there is gossip! It's no wonder that these days there are fewer and fewer opportunities to see Xiong Xianming, and he doesn't notice it at all. However, Ren Fei, as a woman, is quite sensitive to this kind of thing.
"Cut." Xiong Xianming said disdainfully, "You don't look at those women, all of them are yellow and thin, and they have no appetite when they look at them, so I don't want to stick them upside down." ”
It's not entirely nonsense, either. The women suffered a lot in the bungalows, and all of them were malnourished, and their appearance was indeed greatly affected.
Among all the women in the survivor team, the most watery is Ren Fei's. However, Zhang Zifeng's great god pestle is here, Xiong Xianming doesn't dare to make fun of her, let alone think about anything.
In fact, there is a little secret in Xiong Xianming's heart. Ren Fei is indeed beautiful, but this cute type does not appeal to him, but it is the chosen one named Lin Xue, who was shocked when they met for the first time.
The contrast between her beautiful face, slender figure, and ruthless style makes Xiong obviously unable to help himself. Especially the smooth calves, from time to time will break into Xiong Xianming's dreams.
Of course, he was just thinking about it, and the other party's definition of himself was nothing more than food.
"Is it-" Ren Fei deliberately lengthened his voice and said: "How did I hear that you are often courteous to that Qiaoyi, don't deny it, I have evidence, you often gave her special guidance when you were a coach!" ”
"Oh-" Zhang Zifeng had a sudden realization.
In all fairness, Su Qiaoyi's foundation is good, and she is outstanding among all women. Especially when she was chased by the zombies in the cellar that day, she looked pitiful, and she could add a lot of sympathy points, and it was reasonable for Xiong Xianming to like her.
Xiong Xianming didn't have the expression that his heart should have been pierced, but his face sank, his eyes looked into the distance, sighed heavily, and said quietly: "I want to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" ”
