Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Burned Oil Well

Handed over the affairs of the small oasis to Qiu Guorui, Zhou Yuanqiang took Mu Gushan Xu Dali and a few of them, and drove the pickup truck towards the settlement.

As Xu Yuhai said, people in the settlement were panicked, and there were people with anxious faces everywhere. On the road through which the camp passes, the hawkers seem to be extinct. Of course, they are not concerned about the problem of fuel, the car has nothing to do with them, but the problem of salt wells. Although the Authority has sent someone to it, who knows if it can be saved?

Many old fritters who arrived at the early settlement can remember that this salt well was finally dug and completed after a month of countless human resources.

Compared with the people at the bottom, the people at the top are thinking about a much more complicated problem, they will not be short-sighted on the salt well, and without fuel, it will also form a blow to them. The cars and machinery in their names, etc., will become useless. The Authority is not going to open the oil to the outside world after losing the wells.

Maybe the people at the lower levels don't know the current situation of the settlement, but the various teams that have spokespeople in the Authority know that the current settlement is just the end of the crossbow, and how can the early supplies withstand up to five years of attrition? The gravity of the situation can be seen when the Authority has imposed restrictions on the sale of ammunition and firearms on a few occasions.

Now the news received suddenly is undoubtedly worse.

Oil wells and refineries are definitely the most heavily protected places in the settlement, and not only are there heavy troops, but also a small number of heavy weapons in the settlement. In the past, oil trucks were escorted by hundreds of well-equipped soldiers, not to mention the armed forces protecting the oil wells.

But who would have imagined that in one night, the impregnable oil well would be attacked under the zombie horde?

As the center of the settlement, the oil well is equipped with patrols who will patrol the movement of zombies within a five-kilometer radius of the oil well. According to common sense, when the number of zombies reaches the warning line, it is necessary to alert the garrison in the oil well, and the zombie group has a tendency to move towards the oil well, which is to enter the combat alert situation, and it is impossible to let the zombie group get close to the oil well.

The entire oil well and refinery were surrounded by walls, four meters high, and a large number of machine guns, theoretically far from being able to be captured by zombie hordes.

In order to prevent the settlement from entering the mixture, the refugee camp and the central town will pass by from time to time, and in important places, there will be police explosion-proof armored vehicles. Although there was panic in the settlement, there was no mixed robbery.

For the first time, Zhou Yuanqiang had a new understanding of the military strength of the Authority, just from the temperament of the patrol team, as well as the weapons and equipment, it was far from being comparable to the team. The Authority's army is dominated by Type 81 and Type 95, and a small number are also equipped with Type 03. Some special forces will also wear body armor and helmets. According to Xu Yuhai's intelligence, the military strength of the Authority has reached 23,000 people, which is definitely a behemoth-like existence.

No one has yet understood how the oil wells were lost, and groups are carefully arguing.

The last days were originally cruel, and it was not easy for this wasteland settlement to stay away from the crowded area, and only then did it have a stable life in the past few years. But this sudden zombie group immediately broke this peace, shrouded everyone in a layer of haze, and the fear of the future in their hearts made many people lose their bearings. No one knows if the zombies that suddenly gathered will attack the settlement, and with the situation in the settlement, the refugee camp is afraid that it will be cannon fodder again.

Zhou Yuanqiang walked around the settlement, he easily killed Tian Ying's group yesterday, and it seemed to be news that no one paid attention to, seeing that many people were flocking to the direction of the oil well, Zhou Yuanqiang was also curious about this place, so he also drove a pickup truck and followed the others.

Oil wells were there before the end of the world, but the oil production was very low at the beginning, and the oil companies did not pay much attention to it, and the machinery was all very simple, and only dozens of people were working.

After the end of the world, with the establishment of the wasteland settlement, the importance of oil wells suddenly became apparent. Although the production of oil wells could not meet the requirements of a city in the past, there was a lot of surplus for settlements. Unfortunately, there are few skilled workers in the wells, and the production is pitifully low, and there is no shame in saying that it is a larger family workshop, and the output is just enough to meet the daily needs of the settlement.

There was not a lot of fuel stored in the settlement, only enough fuel for a month, and now that the oil wells have been destroyed and the refinery is in ruins, it is almost impossible to produce oil again.

The importance of the oil wells, even though they know that it is impossible to find the equipment to refine the oil, but the Authority is still recovering it, and they must give the settlement a hope, even if it is a faint hope. So in response to the zombie hordes around the oil well, a large number of troops arrived and launched a crazy attack.

When we were still seven or eight kilometers away from the oil well, we could hear the faint sound of gunfire, which was densely mixed together, like a muffled thunder in the sky.

When we reached the oil well three kilometers, the gunfire was deafening, and a huge tongue of fire could be seen in the distance, which was supposed to be that the oil in the refinery and the oil well was still burning. Looking at this fire, I'm afraid the entire refinery is burning. There was a police post set up here, and people with the same purpose as Zhou Yuanqiang were all stopped, and people who knew each other simply stopped the car, piled up together and whispered, expressing their worries from time to time.

Zhou Yuanqiang didn't want to stay here and get no information, so he asked Mu Gushan, but the other party simply reversed the car and returned the same way, waiting until he couldn't see the shadow of others, and then came down from the highway and walked through the desert.

The wasteland is flat, and you can bypass the police posts everywhere, so it is still easy to enter the battlefield. There are not a few people who have the same idea as Zhou Yuanqiang, just looking at the traces of cars left around the wasteland, you can understand this. The so-called world is big, and the Authority is now concentrating on dealing with the zombie group, and it doesn't pay attention to people like Zhou Yuanqiang who sneaked in, and there is not so much energy to block them from entering, so they just turn a blind eye.

The distance of three kilometers is not too far, and after running hard in the desert for more than ten minutes, I can finally see a large number of soldiers in pale yellow camouflage uniforms in the distance, under the command of the commander, forming a column, one column after another, shooting at the zombie group in the distance.

To deal with zombies, you don't need any tactics, you only need to use firepower crosswise, maintain strong firepower, like this kind of open and flat land, even if it is a high-level zombie, under this kind of firepower, it is only a part of being strangled, and it is not very difficult to deal with a group of zombies.

But why is it that the oil well is lost in a state of confusion?

This question is a question that everyone thinks about, and no one can explain it clearly. What's more, the people who defended the oil well refinery almost died in the hands of zombies, and the answer is like a huge mystery, I'm afraid no one knows.

There are so few tickets, everyone supports the points.
