1252 It's Worth the Risk
When Qin Cheng stayed in the camp, he had already found a lot of vehicles. Coalition officers and soldiers are also rushing to repair and modify these vehicles.
"But there's one more problem." Qin Cheng told Chen Yuan about the current situation: "We are now extremely short of gasoline and vehicle diesel. So far, not enough has been collected for half of the vehicles here to start driving to Leicester Town. ”
Chen Yuan furrowed his brows and asked, "Have you looked for the surrounding gas stations?" ”
Qin Cheng said helplessly: "I'm looking for it!" We've searched for gas stations that are easier to search nearby! But either it has been siphoned off by nearby human survivors, or it has been used as a Molotov cocktail by zombies! So if you want to look for it now, you have to look for it in the villages and towns closer to Birmingham. ”
Chen Yuan couldn't help sighing, but said, "Don't worry, don't alarm the zombies near Birmingham for the time being." Anyway, we still have time, let's think of other ways. ”
The zombies around Birmingham are the easiest, but also the hardest.
Because it has been confirmed that there is a corpse king and at least three independent corpse forces in Birmingham, leading more than two million zombies.
So Birmingham today is undoubtedly a very dangerous place.
However, the villages and towns around Birmingham are relatively quiet.
Because most of the corpses here have been taken away by the corpse kings and corpse generals in Birmingham.
Even high-level corpse control like the Corpse King and the Corpse General cannot easily control and mobilize an army of 100,000 or even more than 100,000 zombies by their own strength alone!
They also need to have a large number of low-level corpse controllers under them to help them control the zombie army more precisely.
For example, the corpse king in Birmingham controls more than 10 corpse generals, 50 corpse collars, 250 corpse commanders, and 750 low-level corpse control corpses with hundreds of corpse commanders.
In this way, it can divide half of the two million zombie army under its control into these low-level corpse control corpses.
And the other 3 corpse forces, the same is true.
Where did so many corpses come from?
The probability of corpse control is too low!
The probability of a hundred corpses appearing is less than 1 in 200. The probability of the appearance of higher-level corpse control corpses such as corpse system, corpse collar, and corpse general is much lower.
In this world, all the corpse control combined, is not enough to control half of the ordinary zombies.
Therefore, there are enough ordinary zombies in Birmingham, but there are not enough corpse controls for these four corpse kings and corpse generals to divide up.
They had to extract the corpses from the villages and towns around Birmingham.
This is also a common problem in big cities.
Previously, Chen Yuan and the others were able to take advantage of the corpse king of Qiha City to attack them in the north, and dispatched the troops of New Oil City to quickly clean up the zombies around Qiha City.
That is, because at that time, except for the three corpses left in Qiha City, there were no corpses in other surrounding villages and towns, and the zombies were in a state of no one to control them.
The same is true for Leicester Town, their current target.
There are not even walls there!
But don't think that this way, Leicester Town can just fight!
You must know that now Birmingham is the corpse king and has not left!
As long as there is the slightest movement in the surrounding area, it can immediately dispatch dozens or even millions of zombies.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had to make serious preparations before they acted.
It is also necessary to avoid startling the snake in advance.
**************
After a brief break at noon, Chen Yuan and the others set off again to the settlement of Eisenbao and Marbury.
The first thing they arrived was Eisenbao.
It is also a settlement that developed from a castle.
However, Eisenberg's specifications are much lower than Warwick Castle. The surrounding conditions are also a little worse. Popularity is even worse.
Therefore, the development of Eisenberg is much worse than that of Warwick City, with a population of only 30,000 and less than 2,000 troops. The people's lives are very difficult. But on the whole, it is slightly better than the life of the people at the bottom of Warwick City.
In addition, here, Chen Yuan and the others really discovered the dojo of the New World Sect.
It's just that this dojo is far from the grandeur of Warwick City, and even a little stingy.
According to Noel, the lord of Eisenburg, this was because of the development of the New World Church, which was restricted by them here.
They were forbidden to set up dojos in the more prosperous parts of the fort to 'preach', and they were not allowed to extort believers.
They are only allowed to accept voluntary donations from the faithful.
Although the New World Church does have some skills in demagogy. But if they are only allowed to accept voluntary donations from the faithful, and they are not allowed to use 'other means' to obtain finances and materials, then the income will naturally be far less than that of the New World Church in Warwick City.
(Actually, privately, the New World Sect forces here are still doing some illegal things.) Otherwise, it is not worthy of being called a cult force. But they didn't dare to go too far. )
It is also because there is no New World Church power here, so the life of the people here is slightly better.
**************
"General Marbury, do you know where you can get petrol and diesel around here?"
Chen Yuan's last stop of the day was the Marbury settlement, with a population of 50,000. During the meeting with Marbury, Chen Yuan mentioned the current shortage of gasoline and diesel and asked him where he could get them.
Marbury was suddenly helpless, and said with some joy: "The diesel and gasoline resources in our vicinity are indeed very scarce. However, if you need it, Captain Chenyuanbao and General Regis, we have a ton of gasoline and less than two tons of diesel here to give to you! ”
After all, they had just gotten a promise from Chen Yuan and Regis to help with weapons.
Although the number is less than that of Thundering City and Warwick City, now is a good opportunity to surpass them!
Anyway, the nearby conditions do not allow them to drive around, and most of the firewood and gasoline in their hands are only used to generate electricity.
And for power generation, without firewood and gasoline, they can still use coal instead!
Birmingham is a city that started with coal, and it is easy to get it because of the lack of diesel and petrol resources and the abundance of coal.
And to give the useless firewood and gasoline to Chen Yuan and Regis to them, to gain more favor from the United States and the Chinese, this is worth the deal!
What if the Americans and the Chinese people are happy and give them more weapons?
In addition, this is also related to the question of the ownership of Woodtown after the Americans and the Chinese people are gone!
As for whether the Americans and the Chinese will just lie to them, take their firewood and gasoline, and not give them the aid they said!
This...... It's possible, after all, these things are just lip service. If you don't get your hands on it, anything is possible.
But Marbury felt that it was worth the risk!
