Chapter 308: Settlements in the Basin
The Khan's exploration has never stopped...... The number of exploration airships is increasing dramatically. Countless buried people and materials have been revealed by industrious explorers, who are like ants looking for a food source, and once they appear, more people will be summoned to carry them. The locust-like transport airship can dismantle and dismantle materials, factories and so on in a safe state at one time. There was nothing left.
As the first batch of explorers to graduate, Zhao Datong's achievements are not worth mentioning compared to others.
Just from his name, you can see that he has a simple character.
When the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce was not established, the place where he lived was in the refugee camp in the wasteland settlement, and he was alone and got up early every day. Hunt corpses for a day's food. His honest character, in the last days, is indeed difficult to mix, and he belongs to the object of bullying.
Zhao Datong was a native of the countryside and was thirty years old. The life is a life with the loess and the back to the sky. The wife and five-year-old son have become a thing of the past, and when the end of the world comes, they will become one of the hundreds of millions of zombies. After escaping from the village, he has been wandering, teaming up with others, and going into towns to grab food, "struggling to survive for half a year before he came to the wasteland settlement."
With his personality, he was not suitable for the job of an explorer, but he thought that he had this talent.
Zhao Datong's luck is indeed very bad, the first batch of exploration airships, it is impossible for his turn, he has long known this, so he didn't even apply, but spent all the crystals, bought enough gasoline, found a motorcycle, and under the maintenance and repair, with a gun, he rushed out of the city by himself, heading towards the vast wasteland.
With his previous memories, he pinpointed the materials that were of value to the Chamber of Commerce. His fortune began to accumulate.
may not be as good as others, but Zhao Datong, who has a simple personality, thinks that if he saves money, he will definitely achieve his goal one day. While the other explorers were spending all their time drinking. He just silently ate dry food, carried a gun, and led the exploration team that he was gradually pulling up. Again and again to the uninhabited area.
Almost a year has passed, and when others are still renting the Chamber of Commerce's exploration airship, Zhao Datong unexpectedly used all his savings to apply for the purchase of the first private exploration airship.
The nature of the explorer's work is linked to dangerous opportunities, and no one knows what the next trip will be. So there are not many people who really save money, and there are no people like Zhao Datong. Therefore, Zhao Datong's move was suddenly called a fool's move by the explorers. After all, the Chamber of Commerce's exploration airship is also commanded by the people who rent it. It's no different from your own.
What's even more unbelievable is that Zhao Datong took his exploration team and brought enough food and food to eat for two or three months, and then disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Three months have passed, and no one knows where his exploration team has gone, whether it is alive or dead. It's just that thinking of the cruelty of the last days, people are more willing to believe that Zhao Datong and they must have been killed. Even the Exploratory Department, which also listed their names in yellow and became part of the missing list.
But only Zhao Datong knew that he was still alive.
Although Zhao Datong was born and raised in the countryside, he didn't read much. Like the exhibition of the Chamber of Commerce, you definitely need more resources, and you must be in front of others. Find resources that will have an impact on the future of the Chamber of Commerce, and only in this way can you win the first-class medal of exploration in one fell swoop and enjoy the rest of your life in peace.
The Qaidam Basin is about 8 years long. km, north and south wide about persuasion kilometers. It covers an area of about 10,000 square kilometers.
At this time, the exploration airship led by Zhao Datong was flying over the Qaidam Basin, where it was completely a world of salt, and the large and small lakes everywhere were full of salt crystals of white flowers. In particular, the towering oil wells and abandoned refineries all show that this is the Qaidam Basin, which is known as the "cornucopia".
"See? It's a vast place, and it hides a huge wealth that we can see, or can't see
Zhao Da agreed, he knew that as the first person to arrive at the Chamber of Commerce in the Qaidam Basin, the coordinates recorded in his notebook were enough for the members of the entire exploration team to get the first-class exploration medal. He has every reason to believe that his exploration of the situation of oil wells can allow the Chamber of Commerce to easily extract all the results of the entire Qaidam basin.
may have felt Zhao Datong's spirit, and everyone was very happy. Haven't you been here for three months in the wind and sun, just to pinn the medal in front of your chest?
Explore the airship after three months. There is less and less atmosphere stored in the airbag, and driving is far less handy than it was at the beginning. This made Zhao Datong decide that this was the last time to come out to explore, and after returning home, he would rest for a night and return to Qingyuan City tomorrow morning.
After flying over patches of barren land. Exploration airships appear in the heart of the Qaidam Basin, a grassland where the survivors of the Qaidam Basin live. They have established their own settlement here, although the number of people is less than 10,000, but Zhao Datong understands that the role of these 10,000 people for the Chamber of Commerce is so great that it will definitely add a strong touch to his merits.
The Chamuda Basin in the decade before the end of the world. A large amount of money and people into the country, a, a new city, a good oil well, a refinery "red is not in need of a large number of people. It could almost be said that this central area is inhabited. It's all about the mining and oil industry. From ordinary workers to engineers to managers"
When the exploration airship appeared in a small grassland, the people who were working below involuntarily waved their hands, as if welcoming their relatives back home.
With Zhao Datong's character, it was naturally very easy to break into this settlement, and from the time he arrived here, it only took three days for him to lead his team to dissolve into this settlement. As an explorer, his responsibility is to promote the Chamber of Commerce, and of course Zhao Datong has not forgotten his gratitude to the Chamber of Commerce.
As a result, the posters in his hands have become the most popular things in this settlement, and there are always many people around him every day asking this and where to ask.
Zhao Datong's honest appearance, as well as his smile, always with a simple smile when he speaks, only makes people believe that everything he says is true. And the people who have a yearning for the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce are, of course, helping Zhao Datong to explore this piece of Chaimuda Basin.
Or not exploration, because most of the people in the settlements are people who are engaged in mining and oil extraction. They are very familiar with this area, under their guidance, one by one. The oil well was found, and it began to record the damage to the well, as well as the approximate number of zombies, and whether there was a sense of speciality
He who.
Able to document it all over the course of three months. The people here are the ones who help the most.
These memories were only fleeting, and under the control of the crew, the exploration airship slowly landed in the open space in front of a large tent.
Below is a group of chasing children, they are in this grassland, living carefree and still living a happy time.
A few hundred meters away from the settlement, there are patches of fields that have been turned out, and it is August. Here, the second crop harvest has just ended. Preparations are underway for the planting of the third season. Most of the people in the entire settlement are busy in the fields, and there are only a few soldiers selected from the settlement. They don't need to work, they are only responsible for guarding and protecting the security of the settlement.
When Zhao Datong jumped from the exploration airship. A man in his forties had been waiting for a long time. "Xiao Zhao. What do you think? ”
"Brother Wang, I have already contacted the Chamber of Commerce, and I believe they will arrive soon."
Zhao Datong smiled reassuringly at the other party. Take the gloves off. The person he called Brother Wang, named Wang Shiyan, used to be the person in charge of a large oil well in Lenghu, and he was also the person in charge of this settlement, a very bold cultural person. At least Zhao Datong thinks that he is a farmer, and he is not as knowledgeable as one-tenth of others.
Wang Shiyan nodded, he glanced at the exploration airship, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid the helium in the airship can't support the next liftoff." ”
Zhao Datong also smiled bitterly, he did not replenish helium for three months, which made the ability of the exploration airship to lift off worse and worse, and according to the distance calculation, it was impossible to fly back to Qingyuan City. This means that if the Chamber of Commerce does not send personnel to pick it up, its entire exploration team can only stay here until it is once again rediscovered in this settlement.
When it was approaching nightfall, people who went out to busy their sisters. When the three returned, the fragrance wafted through the entire settlement.
In fact, in the Qaidam Basin, there are many kinds of plants, and after a few years, they still exist in large quantities. In the beginning, the people here relied on food scavenged from the fields.
Later, with the out-of-season food in the fields and the reason for zombies, it was gradually changed to growing food next to the settlement to ensure a stable food source.
Over the course of a few years, a large-scale planting area has been formed.
There are no walls in the settlement. The main reason is that many areas of the Qaidam Basin are far away from people, there is no industry, there is no cement and other building materials, and there are very few zombies, so there are no conditions to build a wall.
Not only that, but there was also a shortage of weapons in the settlement, only shotguns that were previously used to protect against wild beasts.
If there are any good weapons, it is a few induction automatic rifles that Zhao Datong and they gave them. According to the regulations, their explorers will be equipped with weapons to prevent sudden incidents. And explore a certain amount of firepower on the airship. It's also enough to keep them safe.
After eating a bean meal, Zhao Datong wrote and painted in his tent again, and did not fall asleep until midnight.
The next morning, the settlement was busy again. The people of the third have to get up early to work. It's a pity that they were greeted not by the usual early morning, but by a few soldiers who came galloping. From their crucial faces, everyone realized that something must have happened.
Sure enough, not long after, the alarm bell rang in the settlement, which made the whole settlement nervous.
Zhao Datong woke up from his sleep, and in the explorer training, the requirements were the same as those of special soldiers, and the habits he developed made him have a very high sensitivity to his surroundings. When he heard the alarm bells ringing, he put on his clothes, wiped his face with cold water, and walked out with a set of pistols.
Coming to the center of the settlement, Wang Shiyan was asking a few soldiers about something, and when he saw Zhao Datong coming over, his originally steady face appeared anxious, and said: Xiao Zhao, a large number of zombies appeared in the east of several people patrolling in the morning. They seem to be moving towards this. "He's never experienced this, and he's a little messy." "How good is this, we don't have any precautionary ground."
Zhao Datong's brows furrowed, and he said decisively: "Brother Wang, now is not the time to be in a hurry. You recruit everyone in the settlement, if the number of zombies is huge, there is only one way to evacuate and transfer, I don't think the zombies can be as fast as us. I'm going to take someone to scout now to determine the number of zombies. ”
Time didn't allow him to think too much, he just called the crew of the exploration airship and ran to the location of the airship.
Wang Shiyan had no choice but to do it. Start informing everyone to assemble and prepare for the worst.
Exploring the lift-off of the airship is indeed quite difficult. Zhao Datong did not hesitate and shouted: "Throw away all the extra things." He himself took the lead in carrying the sandbag that stabilized the airship's pod, and then walked down and threw it. The rest of the crew were stunned and followed suit, throwing away all the excess things in the pod.
With the reduction of the load. Once again, the exploration airship became nimble, quickly disengaging from the ground. Fly towards the east of the settlement.
"Damn, I only reconnoitred a few days ago, and there is no shadow of zombies around, how can there be zombies coming out?" Zhao Datong looked at the chaotic settlement below, three months of life made him have a deep affection for this place, he didn't want a settlement that had been built for several years to be destroyed by zombies like this.
With the motivation activated, the degree of exploration of the airship was raised, and the settlement was left behind in a moment.
After the exploration airship rose to a certain height, as Wang Shiyan said, there was indeed a group of black zombies moving in the east, and their route was indeed towards the settlement. Since there is still a little distance, it is not clear how many there are. Defend estimates. It will be around one or twenty thousand.
The Qaidam Basin was originally sparsely populated. If it weren't for the proximity to the town, it would be difficult to have such a large zombie moving swarm.
The location of the settlement is very good, and the land is fertile in a sparsely populated area. In a few years, it was turned into fertile land by industrious people. Although life is difficult, there is also a lack of material things. But people are at least happy. A large number of animal husbandry exhibitions in the past, the remnants of cattle and sheep. There are also shadows of them in the settlements, but in very small numbers.
It's like escaping a disturbing garden outside the world, but it is about to face a test of survival.
After exploring the airship for a few minutes, flying over the zombie horde, according to experience, it was indeed a zombie horde with a number of 20,000.
If he was in front of the wasteland settlement, Zhao Datong wouldn't even move his brows, remembering the big battle under the leadership of the president, nearly a million zombies. It's not that they've been repulsed, this is just 20,000 zombies. It's nothing at all. But this settlement is different, with a population of less than 10,000 and a lack of weapons. Don't say 20,000 zombies, it's thousands of zombies. There is only the transfer of the portion.
"Captain, what should we do?"
Seeing the questioning of the team members, Zhao Datong frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lower the altitude, hit me with a machine gun and a bazooka, and lure them away." ”
Under Zhao Datong's orders and obedience, the crew members who had undergone military training knew that it would be dangerous to lower the altitude. But it's still executed. The two machine guns on both sides of the airship were already held by the team members and aimed at the dense zombies on the ground.
Explore the airship when the big guy is high in the air. The zombies below didn't react at all, but as soon as their height decreased, they began to react. One by one, they looked up at the behemoth-like exploration airship. Paused with teeth and claws.
"Hit me, hit me hard
As soon as the height is appropriate, Zhao Datong is a loud order. The improvised heavy, who was just ready, frantically fired at the zombies below.
The powerful fire of the machine gun was presented at this moment, the bullets flew by, and everywhere they went, zombies fell. Bad luck hit the head. He never got up again, and the one who hit the other parts struggled to get up again while falling. Wounds on their bodies, even if they are the size of fists, have limited effect on them.
The bazooka was carried by Zhao Datong himself, and the rocket was sent out in the most dense place, and the flames of the explosion printed his face red.
Suddenly, a cloud of green liquid rose into the air and hit the airbag of the exploration airship with a "snap" at the roar of the crew. Strongly corrosive, under the smoke of green smoke, a huge hole appeared. The helium on the surface of the time seemed to have found an outlet and spewed out wildly.
The exploration airship shook violently, making the entire pod almost unsteady on its feet.
"It's a squirt, it's a squirt, elevated, elevated
Zhao Datong's roar, everyone went crazy. Take control of the exploration airship and take it into the air. But in the next moment, another cloud of liquid hit the airbag. Once again, another air bag leaked helium. This is undoubtedly worse for the exploration airship, which is already short of helium
Hit.
According to the pilot's manual of the chamber of commerce's airship, there are zombie activity areas, and it is not allowed to fly at 2 meters, obviously the airship has just violated this regulation, and it has also paid a huge price for it, and it may be the end of the destruction of the ship.
Give me some recommended tickets and monthly passes, and I'm about to be waved away.
