Chapter 57: Winter Ahead Again
In order to show the strength of the force, Zhang Qiru asked Liu Shun to seal the tyrant's head with a vacuum bag, and then hang it under the soul hunting flag on the roof of the No. 2 Soul Hunting Vehicle, but anyone who passed by could see two huge tyrant heads.
"Qi Ru, you're too flamboyant, aren't you? I sincerely want Liu Tao to die of shame! Zhao Yun was actually too happy.
"No publicity, no publicity, this is all silver for nothing! It's worth a lot more than a licker! Zhang Qiru smiled.
"Captain, what can you change for a licker?" Fu Biao asked curiously.
"Not much, two shotguns, four pistols!" Zhang Qiru now looks down on such a configuration.
", don't stop me, I'm going to cut down the tyrant in the water!" Fu Biao was about to jump out of the car, but no one cared, so he could only look at Liu Shun embarrassedly, "Shunzi? Why don't you stop me? ”
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention......" Liu Shun replied shamelessly.
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
"Teacher, teacher, come and hear this!" Chautzer shouted over the intercom.
"According to the latest release from the central base of Lanshi, a cold air cyclone from the Siberian Plateau has formed, and the center is currently located in the southeast of the Siberian Plateau. According to the analysis of the Meteorological Bureau, the cyclone centre will not move for the time being, and its spread will gradually increase and last for about 120 days. For a long time, the temperature is about minus 30 degrees at night and about minus 20 degrees during the day. The cyclone has expanded to a speed of 30 kilometers per hour and has now reached the border of Ning Province, so please take precautions and ask all resettlement camps, resettlement centers, and resettlement offices to be prepared to deal with it......" Today's radio sound came from the walkie-talkie.
"Lao Zhao, get on the map!" After Zhang Qiru heard the news, he immediately began to analyze the situation.
Zhao Yun turned on the TV and found the downloaded map.
"Ning Province, it is 880 kilometers in a straight line from where we are now, if the cyclone is coming in a straight line, it will take another twenty-seven hours to reach it, and if the direction is a little off, it will be a few more hours." Zhang Qiru pointed to the map and said.
"Not necessarily, there will be a noticeable change before the cyclone arrives, so even if it is not a straight line, we will be affected more than three hours earlier." Zhao Yun also said.
"Isn't that less than twenty-four hours left?" Fu Biao interjected.
"Brother Biao, you are so good at math!" Liu Shun answered.
"Alright, no kidding. By the way, what is the minimum temperature? Zhang Qiru asked.
"-30 degrees Celsius."
"Big brother, what is the maximum cold resistance of the car?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Generally, it is difficult to work above -10 degrees. Mainly air conditioners, it is difficult to use minus five degrees. Zhang Qidao said that he knows more about these.
"Do coaches use air conditioning for heating? Or oil heating? ”
"Some use independent diesel heaters to generate heat, just like our tanks, and some use engine waste heat."
"Will these two be affected by the cold temperatures?"
"The exhaust heat and heating of the engine will be affected slightly, and the key is that the fuel consumption is too high. Independent diesel air heating is a bit better. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiru immediately had a plan.
"Big brother, find the nearest long-distance bus station nearby, preferably in the outer city." Zhang Qiru said.
"Are you going to?"
"We need a coach to be converted into a makeshift dormitory. If each car can hold thirty people, about twelve or thirteen will be enough. ”
"Why don't you find a safe place to set up camp?"
"No, we can't guarantee that we won't migrate. If there is a real need for emergency relocation, it is dangerous for us to have no suitable means of transportation. ”
"Okay. The nearest one to find a coach should be Xiacheng. Xiacheng is a tourist mecca, and there is a special tourist bus parking lot in Xiahe Scenic Area. The disaster occurred during the peak tourist season, and the number of tourist buses should be high. Generally, the tourist buses are 12-meter luxury type, which should be able to meet the requirements. ”
"Let's go, let's go to the Xiahe Scenic Area."
Zhang Qiru's current location is not too far from the Xiahe Scenic Area, only about 30 kilometers. In order to rush for time, the convoy traveled very fast, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the Xiahe Scenic Area.
The Xiahe Scenic Area is located at the mouth of the Xia River, with pleasant scenery, coupled with the green and beautiful summer mountains, which echo with the Xia River, constituting the Xia River Scenic Area. When the disaster occurred, there were a lot of people in the Xiahe Scenic Area, and the number of people who came to visit may reach tens of thousands.
"Soul Hunter Team 4, clear the parking lot!" Zhang Qiru looked at the sparse zombies in the parking lot and ordered.
Team 4 Soul Hunter is also a veteran now. One person raises the shield, the other person attacks, and the two cooperate, which is safe and efficient. During this period, there were also several corpse dogs, which were also easily strangled together. Originally, there were not many people in the parking lot, and there was a small bridge between the parking lot and the scenic spot, so after cleaning up the zombies in the parking lot, there were no large numbers of zombies around. So, Zhang Qiru sent four small soldiers to garrison the bridgehead.
"Captain, there are a lot of buses here, which ones should we choose?" Liu Shun asked.
"Choose a high chassis and a large space in the car!"
......
"Soul Hunter Team II, report the situation!" Zhang Qiru also sent the second soul hunting team on a mission.
"Report to the captain, we have cleaned up more than ten home textile stores, and the bedding has basically been collected. In addition, we cleaned up an electrical appliance store by the way, and found more than 80 oil heaters, as well as four or five generators, and Zhao asked Team Zhao to take them back. ”
"Well, bring them all back. What about other materials? ”
"There are no large steel mills, only smaller car repair shops, decoration companies, welding iron doors, and the steel is almost enough, but the models are not the same."
"It's okay, make do. Is there anything else? ”
"There is a knife shop that has a new batch of kitchen knives, fruit knife shapes, ready to take back and distribute to family members for self-defense."
"The harvest is good, now gather at the predetermined location, pay attention to the tail!"
......
"Big brother, how is the reserve collection?"
"Not much to gain, this place should have been ransacked, and there is hardly anything left."
"Then come back quickly!"
"Wait a minute, I'm arranging for them to pump gas, and there are a couple of abandoned cars here, and quite a bit of gas."
"We don't have a petrol vehicle, so what do we need petrol for?"
"Heating fuel, we can't stay in the car forever, so we need outdoor fuel. Also, I think we need to find more outdoor fuel to deal with the problem of eating. Perhaps, we need some tents as well. ”
"Brother, I'll leave those to you, stay safe!"
......
Although the second and third teams of Soul Hunting are not as strong as the fourth team, they can still deal with some simple problems, not to mention that Zhao Yun and Zhang Qidao are leading the team.
The four Soul Hunter teams finally selected fourteen buses, and one by one drove out of the parking lot.
Three hours later, on the tourist avenue on the outskirts of Xiacheng, the convoy met again.
"All the workforce had to be involved in the work, and all the seats of the buses had to be removed. In addition, someone who knows how to weld is responsible for adding a bed. Winter is just around the corner, so be sure to hurry! If we don't finish it before winter comes, we'll have half the chance of survival, so be sure to pay attention! Zhang Qiru didn't say much, if this group of people didn't even care about their own lives, then there was nothing he could do.
"Lao Zhao, where do you think we should set up camp temporarily?" Zhang Qiru didn't think they would stay where they were all winter.
"I think we should stay here for the time being. This is a tourist avenue with wide roads, high roadbeds, and obvious boundaries between the two sides of the road - which is useful when it snows! If we can't tell the difference between a road and a pothole, we can overturn. In addition, I feel that winter, especially the cold winter, is really not suitable for travel, it is too dangerous. ”
"But we can't stay here forever!"
"What do you think?"
"Stay for a while, find out what is going on, and then think about whether or not to travel far. I feel that the winter will not be too stressful for the resettlement camps, especially the lack of food. Of course, this is also a pressure for us. Also, if the cyclone doesn't affect the south, I plan to go to the south and take shelter for a while. ”
"You can give it a try."
For their own survival, the masses are also desperate. In less than an hour, all the seats were removed. The steel used to make the bed is almost finished, and only the installation is needed.
According to Zhang Qiru's plan, each bed is 55 centimeters wide and 2 meters long. There are three rows for each car, and the aisles are thirty-eight centimeters wide. In this way, each bus can carry 30 people, and the convoy is now almost 350 people, which is more than 14 cars.
In order to improve the defense capability of the bus, Zhang Qidao plans to install barbed wire outside the window, at least ordinary zombies can be completely defended. The front of the car has been reinstalled with new bumpers to cope with the frontal impact of normal zombie animals. The wheel hubcap has also been slightly modified, which has a certain ability to clean up zombies, which can also be regarded as a compensation for not being bulletproof.
In addition, in order to avoid the diesel car being unable to start at a critical moment, Zhang Qidao specially installed a heating device on the fuel tank of the car. In addition, several buses have installed generators in their luggage compartments to supply electricity specifically for the heating in case the buses do not have enough heating capacity.
Under the intensive work of more than 300 people, until about 5 o'clock in the morning, 14 buses were refitted. Three of the buses belonged to the barracks and eleven to the civilian population. Each vehicle has a commander, who is responsible for vehicle maintenance and driving. The commander needs to be on standby at all times and be able to start the car and flee immediately in case of an emergency. In order to ensure the food of the masses, Zhang Qiru also specially made a dining car, which was modified from a small passenger car, which was very simple, but could meet the requirements of cooking.
It was just dawn, and a group of people fell asleep in a hazy way. Zhang Qiru and the others have always insisted on not daring to take it lightly, and it is hard to say whether they can survive it now!
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall in the sky - winter is coming!
