The Dongtan detachment moved much slower in the search, and everyone lined up in a line from west to east in the field, with two pickup trucks on the left and right sides as the head and tail.

The team advanced more than a kilometer and was forced to stop when it reached the middle of Tuanwang Road.

The topography ahead was much different from the previous one, with a pond several hundred meters wide occupying a corner of the place, and a ditch extending from its edge separated the surrounding fields. The ditches were nearly 100 meters wide and 20 or 30 meters narrow, which caused great inconvenience to the Dongtan detachment's advance operations, and everyone had to take more detours to cross these ditches.

There was a peninsula-like piece of land on the edge of the pond that stretched into the middle, and on this piece of land, Chen Bin saw several buildings standing there.

He walked a long way around the peninsula-like outer side of the land, and then continued on the path to the land.

Some figures appeared in the window of the building in front of them, and they saw Chen Bin walking this way, and several of them put their hands out of the window and kept waving.

Chen Bin hurried to the outside of the buildings and found that the doors of the buildings were locked. Someone upstairs ran down to open the door, and when the door opened, Chen Bin knew that there were many people hiding inside.

"Comrade, what unit are you from?" When the people who came out of the building saw Chen Bin holding a gun in his hand, they wondered if he was a soldier of Chongming.

"I'm from the Dongtan branch of the Ministry of Armed Forces," Chen Bin said, "what's the situation here?" ”

"The situation is okay, but everyone is panicking," the man who spoke just now sighed and said, "Who would have thought that there would be zombies here in Dongtan, many people from the surrounding area fled here early this morning, saying that there were zombies in Lixin Village, and many people were bitten to death." ”

"We're relieved that you're here, there was a team here and left before, but they just told us to lock the door downstairs and let us all hide upstairs." Another person next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Bin's arrival, "With you holding a gun to protect us, everyone doesn't have to be afraid of zombies." ”

"I can't stay here either," Chen Bin said and comforted these people, "My companions and I need to rush to Lixin Village along the road to eliminate the zombies, the people in the previous team are right, you lock the door and hide upstairs is safe, there are very few zombies that can penetrate into this vicinity, as long as you don't rush out and move around, then they can't pose a threat to you." ”

"Ah, you're going too?" The man's face, who had just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, suddenly fell again, and he said in great frustration, "Can't you stay and protect the masses?" ”

"I would love to stay, but we are needed more than anything else, and our people staying here will do little to change the situation in Lixin Village, and the root cause of the deterioration of things is still in Lixin Village and a few farms around it." Chen Bin patted his arm as he spoke, "Don't worry, if you solve the problem over there, Dongtan will naturally return to a safe state." ”

The few people who came downstairs just now knew that Chen Bin was right, although everyone still hoped that this soldier could stay to protect the safety here, but seeing that he had made up his mind, they had to watch him leave.

It took Chen Bin and others a lot of time to search the area around the pond, and by the time everyone arrived at Lixin Village, there were already many soldiers from the surrounding areas.

Chen Bin saw that Gu Annan and his Yingdong Public Security Brigade were also among them, so he walked over to say hello to him.

"Chen Bin, why are you here so late?" Gu Annan also saw Chen Bin and his team.

"We found a zombie on the way over, so we focused on checking along the way, so that no 'fish from slipping through the net' slipped into the densely populated area south of Dongtan." Chen Bin explained, and nodded with Xi Yongliang and the others next to Gu Annan.

"I see, you did the right thing," Gu Anan patted him on the shoulder, a look of approval on his face.

"What's next?" Chen Bin asked.

"We have just checked the wetland park and wind power station in the east, and the next action will wait for Ling Shidong's arrangement." Gu Annan said and looked at a soldier not far away, "Captain Ling is the commander-in-chief of this operation. ”

Chen Bin nodded, returned to his team, and told his companions what Gu Annan had told him just now.

"With such a large area, it is difficult to complete it efficiently, and if there are accidentally zombies that are not found, the investigation work will be wasted." Qiao Xingyu roughly counted the number of soldiers present and found that there were less than two hundred.

"I don't think that's enough," Chen Ting thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you see a lot of people hiding in the buildings in the pond before?" ”

"How?" Chen Bin nodded.

"I think we can mobilize the masses and let them disperse everywhere to help search, these people only need to help us find the zombies, and report the location after finding them, and then we can use the mobility advantage of the vehicle to quickly rush to the place where the zombies are found and eliminate them," Chen Ting said as she thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, "If ordinary people find zombies, they only need to pay attention not to get too close, even if they are discovered, they can have time to escape." ”

"That's right, good idea," Chen Bin, Da Fei and others all applauded Chen Ting's approach.

"I'll go talk to Captain Ling Shi about your idea," Chen Bin ran towards Ling Shidong without saying a word.

"Captain Ling," he came to Ling Shidong and saluted the person in charge of the operation.

"Chen Bin?" Ling Shidong and Chen Bin had gone on a mission together before, so he was very impressed by this young man.

"Captain Ling, when we came here earlier, we found a zombie halfway through, not far from the Dongtan International Conference Center. So we have carefully checked along the way, but due to the lack of manpower, the area of the investigation is not very large. Chen Bin said.

"There are already zombies in the southern area of Dongtan?" Ling Shidong was taken aback by the news reported by Chen Bin, and then he nodded again and said, "Our manpower is indeed too small, but most of the military strength in Chongming District is arranged on the defense line of the Changxing and Chongming fronts, and the government cannot draw more forces to support us for the time being. If we have to transfer people from other regions now, it is likely that it will become a situation of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, so we can only figure out how to solve the current situation. ”

"I have a solution, which was thought up by the members of my detachment," Chen Bin continued, "The number of zombies in Lixin Village should not be large, but they are too scattered, which adds great difficulties to our search operation. ”

"You go on," Ling Shidong heard some new ideas from Chen Bin's words.

"As long as we can mobilize the masses to help us search for zombies, this can make up for our lack of manpower. The disadvantage of the masses in the face of zombies is combat power, so we only need them to help us find it, and we don't need them to participate in the battle. After the person who found the zombie gave the signal, we can use the vehicle to quickly rush to the scene to support and destroy the zombie. In this way, the military and the civilian complement each other, and the two can make up for each other's current shortcomings very well, and I believe that the results will be better than those of us working alone. ”

"Okay," Ling Shidong nodded, "You saved me last time, and this time you can come up with such a good idea, Xu Yueming has a vision." ”

"This method was thought up by my team member Chen Ting," Chen Bin said with a smile.

"The female soldier?" Ling Shidong was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Chen Bin's team, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Yes, she's the best figure out on our team."

"Your method is very feasible, but then we need to go to the farm to fight a siege battle first, and completely liberate the zombie attack and the people who are trapped there, so that they can be our help in the search work later." Ling Shidong said, "You go back to the whole team immediately, and then we will go to the Lixin Ninth Team and Lixin Seventh Team, where the zombie situation is the most serious, and start from there first." ”

"Received," Chen Bin came back from Ling Shidong, hurriedly gathered his companions together, and he conveyed Ling Shidong's arrangement just now to everyone, so that everyone could hurry up and get ready.

Ling Shidong's order to open was quickly conveyed, and all the teams marched to the farm to the west in accordance with the order set out in the order, Chen Bin's Dongtan detachment lined up at the tail of the large force, and their two pickup trucks waited for the other cars to move before following in the final flow of traffic.

A convoy of dozens of cars is quite spectacular on the boundaries of Chongming Island, and the trees on the way to the farm are gradually increasing, and the number of telephone poles is more dense than before.

Most of the farms and fields here are well planned, and if there are no rivers or ponds, they are basically completely rectangular in shape. The farm in Lixin Village is divided into several brigades, six of which are next to each other, which are adjacent to the adjacent Whistle River and cover all the area from Dongwang West Road to the middle of the farm in Xinken District.

It was previously a benchmark industry for the integration of farms and breeding on Chongming Island, but after the disaster, the government army occupied Dongtan and soon entered a state of reconstruction and resumption of production, which is an important part of the national economy and people's livelihood on the island.

After crossing the Tung Mong Bridge on Tung Mong Road, the convoy stopped at the next intersection. To the north of the intersection is the farm area of the Lixin Ninth Team, and to the south is the other five brigades.

Ling Shidong called the leaders of the various squads in the team together and began to issue new tasks, and the first target of this multi-department team was the Lixin Ninth Team on the north side of the crossroads.

This brigade is separated by Dongwang Road on the opposite side of the other five brigades, which is the best choice as the first target at the moment.

Chen Bin was tasked with going to the southwest corner of the Lixin No. 9 Team Farm, starting from a junction near the cement bridge on the Whistle River and advancing north along the path, while other troops surrounded the farm from all directions.
