Chapter 182: Water Purification Plant

Along the vertical iron ladder, everyone climbed out of the underground water canal one after another.

He Hao looked around, and the surrounding environment was much worse than he imagined. The abandoned water tank is mottled with rust. Red sewage dripping from a partially leaking water pipe.

The whole workshop was filled with a pungent smell of ammonia, and if you sniffed it carefully, there was a rancid smell.

A few flickering incandescent lamps hung from the roof, and blood stains and broken glass flickered on the shaky floor. The dust floating in the air was dense with the naked eye, and several flies lingered in front of everyone.

Filthy, dirty, disgusting, horrible.

"You live right here?" He Hao asked in a low voice, he couldn't imagine that there would be people living in such a harsh environment.

Hao Mei didn't answer, but staggered a few steps, looking around in circles, as if she was also here for the first time.

"No, no! That's not true! Something must be going on here! Hao Mei said to He Hao with a pale face: "Maybe it's a zombie!" Zombies are in! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their vigilance. They all looked around and listened.

Suddenly, a male intimidation came: "What people! Raise your hands above your head! ”。 The roar echoed several times in the empty workshop, and the momentum was truly terrifying.

He Hao and the others searched for prestige and found four men standing on a high platform behind them. The man in the lead, holding a homemade earthen gun in his hand, huddled behind a metal railing. Beside him, three other people held javelins made of steel bar.

At the same time, there was a sound of metal chains flapping beside He Hao and the others, and eight men dragged the metal spreader and slid from a high place to the ground, surrounding them. In their hands, they all held machetes sharpened from white steel plates. Although the style is simple, the blade of the blade is very sharp, and the light flickers by, and the cold light shines. Don't even doubt the sharpness!

He Hao glanced left and right, he didn't have to worry about this kind of opponent at all. Then he whispered to Hao Mei and asked, "Is that your boss on the high platform?" ”

Hao Mei didn't seem to hear He Hao's question, but instead yelled at the man with the gun: "Tan Jun! How are you! ”

"That's right! It's me! The man with the gun was very proud and said, "What? Are you surprised by my superiority? ”

"Hmph......" Hao Mei bit her silver teeth and stopped talking.

The gun-wielding man named Tan Jun put his hands on the railing in front of him and smiled obscenely: "Hao Mei, didn't you steal Director Lu's pistol and run away?" How did you come back again? Don't be afraid...... He killed you? ”

Hao Mei held her breath and said hesitantly: "So what? The old director would not allow the water purification plant to be punished for death, and ...... And I'm stealing a gun and going out to find food! You men have always treated us women as accessories, and now I prove that women are no worse than you! ”

"Hehe......" Tan Jun sneered a few times. Then he stood up, turned a few steps and said, "Oops, Hao Mei." You don't know that after you left, the old factory director's animal has long returned to his hometown. And now you still want him to help you out? It's better to come and beg Lao Tzu! ”

"Ahh What the! You! Tan Jun, did you betray the old factory director? Hao Mei suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground.

Tan Jun, who crackled the earthen spear in his palm, suddenly turned fierce and roared angrily: "Don't fucking nonsense! Escort them all to me! Listen to Director Lu's fate! ”

As soon as the order landed, the surrounding 8 men with machetes narrowed the encirclement by gesture, and gradually gathered towards He Hao and the others.

Xiaobei quietly inserted his palm into his waist, intending to find out the hidden thorn. Yin Xiao clenched his fists and prepared to fight, he once hated in his heart for losing the crossbow, otherwise this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals would dare to show off their power like this?

Hao Mei, who didn't know that the magazine was empty, pulled out the pistol from her arms violently, intending to fight to the death!

"Guns!" Seeing this, Tan Jun shouted in horror and ran away.

At this critical juncture, He Hao made an amazing move! Instead of joining the battle of resistance, he grabbed Hao Mei's wrist violently, and then gently grabbed itβ€”"Ah! Her already thin flesh and blood body could not withstand the strength of He Hao's iron palm. In a scream of shock and severe pain, the pistol was released.

Tan Jun, who was still panicked just now, hurriedly commanded: "What are you doing in a daze!" Go and subdue that! ”

"Wow whoa!" The men screamed strangely, rushed to He Hao and the others, and held down all the stunned people.

Xiaobei and Yin Xiao saw that He Hao had the intention of being captured on purpose, so they did not resist. But Hao Mei and others suffered because of this, especially her younger brothers Hao Yi and Wu Shuai, who were beaten with blood spraying from their mouths and noses, and their faces were covered with mud.

After everything calmed down, Tan Jun led his subordinates and walked down the spiral staircase. Arriving in front of He Hao and the others, he looked at Hao Mei who was glaring at him playfully, and said, "You have followed me a long time ago, can you have such a thing?" ”

Then he looked up at He Hao, who was half a head taller than him, and praised him with appreciation: "Junjie, Junjie." ”

After speaking, he waved his palm and said, "Take it away!" ”

After everyone on both sides left the workshop, they walked along the corridor for a while, and then got on the open-top battery car that was limited to the factory area and walked through the indoor waterlogged warehouse......

Along the way, everyone didn't say anything, Hao Mei stared at He Hao with almost fire-breathing eyes, not to mention her, even Yin Xiao was slightly dissatisfied.

And He Hao, who guessed the ins and outs, already had his own plans......

He did guess most of it!

When this water purification plant broke out in the last days, because the internal personnel were working indoors, they were not directly infected by the Xr virus Cuiyu.

However, one of the core factories where the condensate was stored was damaged by a meteorite, so it had to take a temporary holiday to avoid danger. Only more than 100 relevant personnel and the person in charge of the factory were left to supervise the maintenance.

Until the outbreak of the corpse mutiny, these more than 100 personnel were trapped here. Originally, they thought they could be helped, but as time went on, they began to realize that this place was far safer than the outside.

There is a complete water purification system, a small generator, and an electricity supply system. In addition, there are canteens, factory shops, parking plants, staff dormitories, and huge underground water canals and other buildings, as well as the geographical location outside Chongtai City. These favorable conditions constitute a barrier to protect them through the bitter winter to the present.

But the food in the canteen and the factory store will eventually be eaten one day. So the 100-odd people formed several expedition teams to go out and search for food through the canals that connected to the city's sewer network.

As the zombies in the outside world continue to evolve, so does the risk of the expedition's operations. Someone began to die, someone became infected, someone went missing. In the end, there were no more people willing to go out, until in the end there were only about 60 people left.

Faced with severe food shortages, the old factory manager wanted to grow sprouted potatoes to grow food. But it is in this vacuum that there is no food to eat, and the originally united group splits into two branches that operate in secret.

The old factory director, Hao Mei, Hao Yi sisters and brothers, Wu Shuai and other more than 20 disadvantaged groups formed a 'rational distribution'. Of course, there is also Tan Jun who has been pursuing Hao Mei among the assignments.

The remaining 40 people, including Lu Wei, the security director, and Wang Dayong, the security captain, formed a 'human distribution'.

The crowd engaged in intense discussions and consultations on the issue of food. Finally in a repressive living environment; In a manic state of mind, there is a martial fight. The death of a security guard puts an end to the farce, and at the same time makes it clear that the two dispatches are incompatible.

Until one day, the old factory director found a launch device that could freeze the human body in a large area near the meteorite that smashed the condensate storage tank, thus completely suppressing the dispatch headed by Director Lu.

originally thought that the difficulties would pass slowly, but the accident finally happened - Hao Mei and Hao Yi's food was completely exhausted, and she planned to go out and take a risk for her younger brother, but the security guards led by Director Lu were unwilling to lend her a pistol. That was obtained from the early days of the apocalypse, when the military airdropped relief kits, and until now, there is not much life-saving ammunition left.

Hao Mei, who loves her younger brother, immediately made a stupid decision - steal!

When she succeeded, she and her younger brother left the water purification plant with Wu Shuai. And this incident has also become the fuse for the outbreak of the two factions fighting for dominance!

Director Lu tricked Tan Jun into stealing the cryogenic launcher from the old factory director. When he succeeded, the Humanist faction ascended to the throne with a strong military advantage, and the poor old factory director was tied to the generator shell and slowly scalded to death......

And the more than 20 members of the rational faction also suffered misfortune!

The man was beheaded and executed, and became the food of the opposing members.

The women were imprisoned and became the tools of the other party's members, and several of them with good faces were ravaged for several days, or became demented, or died directly, and one person was still hung naked in Director Lu's room. Let it be played, like a hunter admiring the head of a beast hanging on the wall.

Hao Mei, who left the water purification plant, went into a number of small fast food restaurants to search for food to no avail, and finally encountered He Hao and others in the 'Big Star Horse', and many previous incidents occurred.

……

At this moment, He Hao's idea is very simple, there must be technicians with professional knowledge in this water purification plant. If there is a person with outstanding skills, he will recruit it for his own use. He believed that with the reserves of supplies he had, no one would fail to follow him.

Although he is currently being escorted, it is also the fastest and most direct way to contact the leader of the other party. Anyway, he has the power of gravity shaking field, which is extremely controllable. A rabble, not a threat.

Unbeknownst to Ho, this group of survivors had technological equipment he didn't expect......

In an instant, the battery car passed through the water silo and arrived at the nearby canned chemical hoisting workshop.

More than a dozen scary-looking men gathered at the gate saw that Tan Jun not only brought back Hao Mei, a delicate-looking woman, but also captured a few well-dressed survivors back. Immediately cheered and whistled excitedly. Especially the tender doll with a prominent figure like Xiaobei, for them, it is definitely a stunner that can only be sought in fantasy!

Entering the hoisting shop, less than ten steps down the corridor, there is a huge storage warehouse. When you push the door in, a terrible scene comes into view.

Several shipping containers with wooden boxes, stacked in a stepped pattern. A blanket stained red with blood is like a stream flowing in a stream. The top-to-bottom bunk is covered on a staircase. At the top is a leather sofa. On the sofa sat a thin middle-aged man with his hair combed on his back. He looked no more than 40 years old. But the temples are silver-gray. The high convex cheekbones are supported by gold-rimmed glasses. One eye is large; One eye is small, and the eyes of a mouse are small. The upper body is wearing a fairly neat work cotton uniform, and the lower body is wearing blood-stained trousers. Only the pair of pointed scalp shoes on the feet were polished.

At the bottom of the stairs was a huge bonfire. A thick metal hook hangs from the warehouse's crane above the campfire. On the hook hung a skinned bright red corpse, the tip of which penetrated into the head from the lower jaw, and even the blood stains on the hook did not dry. The corpse looked like it was supposed to be a man. Its entire set of entrails was hollowed out, it had no calves, no forearms. It's like an ear of wheat swaying in the wind, whirling with the hook......

On both sides of the warehouse, wooden planks are piled up to form simple beds. The bed was covered with blackened cotton wool and tattered rags. Groups of bare-ass men, hugging a tied woman, huddled in the bed, giggling.

The smell of urine is mixed with the smell of barbecue, mixed with the smell of mold and sweat. The taste is indescribable. It smells suffocating.

When the people who were shouting and drinking heard the door being pushed open, they immediately stopped the noise. They all looked up and watched, watching intently as Tan Jun and the others walked in with Hao Mei. But more eyes fell on He Hao and the others who were brightly dressed, especially after seeing Xiaobei, who had never met before, these men couldn't help but get up, standing on the bed without any cover, and looked at her......

The entire garage was unusually quiet, except for the choked cries of the women.

"Director Lu! I took Hao Mei, Hao Yi, and Wu Shuai back, along with your lost pistol! Tan Jun concealed the truth and continued to add fuel and vinegar to the truth: "After several days of inspection, I have captured a few survivors who escaped in the underground water canal, and I am waiting for your fate!" ”

The man sitting at the top of the container pushed his glasses and nodded with a smirk. He is Director Lu in Tan Jun's mouth. He was extremely satisfied and said three "good" words in a row. Then he stood up the collar of the cotton suit, and waved his arm and said, "Reward!" ”

A man disguised as a cafeteria cook, with a kitchen knife, walked up to the corpse hanging on the campfire, and used the sharp blade to cut off a large piece of deflated flesh from the corpse's abdomen, which looked disgustingβ€”the grainy yellow fat peculiar to humans was shiny with oil, mixed with blood, like a rotten sticky rice cake.

The chef threaded the fat and lean flesh with a fire stick and pestled it around the campfire. After sprinkling some salt, he turned and left.

Director Lu said with a smile: "Xiao Tan, don't be polite, when this piece of meat is cooked, you can enjoy it!" ”

Tan Jun didn't seem to appreciate it, but because of the other party's coercion, he had to nod with a smile, which was considered an agreement.

"Lock Hao Mei in my room, Hao Yi and Wu Shuai in the water tower, and raise them first. Last time, we killed a lot of people, and they were almost rotten before we finished eating......" Director Lu stared at Hao Mei's white neck and said. You must know that among these female survivors, she is the one who has never played.

"What?" Tan Jun was stunned for a moment, and said with a pale face: "Director Lu! She's my woman. You can't do that! ”

Director Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry." I'll give it to you when I'm done trying it out. Make sure she doesn't have to worry about her life. ”

"It's not...... Director Lu. This ......" Tan Jun was so angry that his blood swelled, and many words were blocked in his throat, but he didn't dare to say it. I can only stutter and stand in place.

Before Tan Jun finished speaking, Director Lu waved his hand and asked He Hao and the others, "Who are you?" Why did you come to my water purification plant to take refuge? ”

"Running to you for refuge? We? Yin Xiao was extremely surprised, how could this man in front of him, who seemed to have a bit of brains, say such a stupid thing.

"Actually, it's not difficult to stay, first hand over all your clothes and supplies. And you, the girl in the waistcoat, come with me. Director Lu pointed to himself, as if he could decide everything.

He Hao originally wanted to wronged himself, meet directly with the leader without dispute, and then recruit a few suitable technicians, but he never expected that this place had been rotten to such an unbearable point, even if there was a shortage of manpower, He Hao would not have anything to do with such a cannibalistic animal.

"You've really disappointed me." He Hao's words made everyone present stunned and quieted down. In the venue, I could only listen to Hao Mei's incessant abuse and Hao Yi's crying.

"What did you say?" Director Lu asked with a smile. He couldn't believe how this man could say such a stupid thing right now.

He Hao didn't bother to say more words to the other party, so he directly raised the palm of the mechanical hand and exerted the gravity of the forward push! This terrible force directly threw the bonfire and the hanging corpses flying, and the charcoal that tumbled in the air and the sparks splashed everywhere. In just one moment, the entire workshop was filled with fire.

"!" All the frightened souls did not possess their bodies, and they fled in all directions.

Director Lu, who was arrogant before, collapsed to the ground and rolled down the blood blanket under his feet. If he hadn't stabilized himself, he would have broken his head and bled out.

This surging power stunned Hao Mei and the others next to her, she didn't expect that the man she had caught before was so terrifying. With a single wave of the arm, everything was shaken, which was incredible!

At the same time, seeing He Hao's move, Yin Xiao, who had been suppressed for a long time, also kicked the opponent next to him to the ground, and after snatching the machete, he slashed mercilessly. It's amazingly fast. The knife goes into the flesh and the bones come out. The guy who was cut tried to raise his arm to block, but his arm was immediately cut off by Yin Xiao, and the rolled flesh was exposed to broken bones, and the blood flew out directly several meters away, splashing the faces of others. There was even a man who dared to rush forward, and his neck was cut off directly by Yin Xiao, leaving only a thin layer of skin and flesh connected, and the blood splashed on the ground, and then the man fell to the ground and died on the spot.

The sudden change made Tan Jun stupid. Hao Mei on the side reacted quickly and snatched the pistol directly from him! Then he pointed at his head with his hands clasped together and scolded: "Go to death! Slut! ”

"Ahh Other! Tan Jun wailed and took a few steps back. Before he finished speaking, Hao Mei had already pulled the trigger a few times, but the swarthy muzzle of the gun did not shoot a bullet.

"What!" Hao Mei was shocked, she couldn't believe that this gun was out of ammunition!

Tan Jun, who had picked up a life, came back to his senses, quickly pulled out a soil pistol from his waist, pointed at Hao Mei's chest and shouted, "Damn it's you!" As he pulled the trigger, a fierce smoke spread from the muzzle of the gun, and patches of steel grit poured out!

Hao Mei, who should have been killed, suddenly fell under a violent external force - his younger brother Hao Yi pushed her away and blocked the fatal blow with his own back!

The scorching and swirling steel grit tore his flesh apart; Crushed his internal organs, and then carried blood through his chest, Hao Yi died. Before he could say a word of goodbye, he died in his sister's arms.

"Hao Yi!" Hao Mei hugged her brother's face. There was a heart-rending howl, everything happened so fast that even He Hao and the others didn't have time to lend a hand. By the time he reacted, he had already lost his skills.

The scattered burning firewood reflects this human tragedy.

"Damn it!" He Hao watched sideways and cursed in his heart. He never imagined that the situation was far from being as manageable as he thought. It was at the moment when he was distractedβ€”

Director Lu flipped to the other side of the container to avoid danger.

Tan Jun, who killed Hao Yi, also fled.

The surrounding opponents were scattered and defeated.

At the same moment, a deep cold silver mist fell from the sky and spit on He Hao's body. The intense chill directly made him unconscious, and then the pestle with hoarfrost on his face froze in place. The body maintained a posture of raising arms and twisting the body, motionless.

"What!" Yin Xiao was shocked when he saw He Hao being attacked. Before he could react, he was also sprayed by the silver mist. In the same way, he froze in place in a posture of turning with a knife in his hand, unconscious......

Xiaobei, who was left alone, looked up and watched. I saw a strong man with a goatee wearing a security uniform, squatting on a beam in the workshop with a sly smile. He carried a large metal object on one shoulder, like a bazooka. In the other hand, he held a fire stick tightly with a roasted human forearm stuck in it!

"Hehe, I didn't expect it......" The strong man with the goatee sneered and looked at Xiaobei, the violent color in his eyes made her extremely frightened!

He is the security captain of the water purification plant - Wang Dayong.
