Volume 2 Tales of the Night Chapter 59 Extermination of Rats (I)
Driven by the white night as the sharp edge, the operation of clearing the living corpses was rapidly accelerated, and it took less than two days to clean up the entire Anping county. Although it was impossible to completely kill all the living corpses, the large crowd of corpses could no longer gather, and the entire county town was in fact controlled by Bai Ye.
The operation consumed a large stock of ammunition, and in order to destroy the living corpses, the amount of ammunition consumed was staggering, half of which was depleted during this operation. And that's not even counting the seizures from Dong Sizhou, because the ammunition could only be used in the crude firearms in the hands of the survivors. Fortunately, Sun Xinye brought back another cart of inventory from Feng Tiannan, otherwise the team's ammunition would not even be half left.
The battles of the past few days have also made everyone under the command of Bai Ye have been reborn, and from now on, these warriors can be regarded as a qualified warrior of the end of the world, and can be regarded as truly adapting to the rhythm of survival in the new world. In the past few days, there have been several thrilling and abnormal situations, and several soldiers have been extremely seriously injured, but fortunately, there is Chen Qian in the team, and she is present, as long as the soldiers are not fatally injured such as severed heads and heartaches, and the rest even if the intestines are pulled out, she can save a life in time.
But the second group did not have such a good treatment, because it was a separate operation, it was impossible for Chen Qian to follow them, so for a few days, not to mention the new survivors, even the original men in black had killed three people, and everyone else had been injured to varying degrees. But they didn't complain when they arrived, and they were a little grateful to Chen Qian, because as long as they didn't die on the spot in the battle, Chen Qian would still treat them afterwards, which was also for Donglai's sake. And Donglai, with his unpredictable ability, has also greatly increased his prestige in the second group.
Next, if you want to completely eliminate the threat of living corpses, you need to go door to door and clean up little by little, this kind of water grinding is something that the survivors have to consider, and Bai Ye will no longer worry about such trivial things.
Even if this huge war of living corpses is over, Bai Ye won completely, and saved more than a thousand survivors in the process, plus the workers of the original black gun factory, the population controlled by Bai Ye has approached 2,000. These survivors are the last human beings in this county, a county town, a population of seventy or eighty thousand, and in the end, only these few people remain, this is the status quo of the new world, and the status quo of all human settlements in the whole world.
No matter how miserable the human condition, today is a day to celebrate for White Nights. Anping County was the first town he recaptured from the monsters, and it was also the first base for him to establish his own sphere of influence, which will gradually absorb those wanderers here in the future and form a large gathering city, just like Anping City in the previous life.
That night, Bai Ye used the abundant materials collected from the county town to organize a humble celebration ceremony to celebrate the return of Anping County to human control. Although the county town was already empty, the people were still very excited, and some even wept bitterly.
After the celebration, Bai Ye explained to his direct troops that there would be a big operation tomorrow to recharge everyone's energy, and then returned to his room and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, a vigorous rodent extermination operation began!
Bai Ye left the county seat with a group of all the warriors and all the evolutionaries except Donglai, plus a group of survivors who performed well and were absorbed into the outer team. They drove their way into the wilderness, eventually reaching the entrance to the cavern that connected to the underground space. With his orders, everyone began to erect fortifications on the spot, and because of the time they had enough, they not only dug trenches and bunkers, but also planted mines in the land outside the caves, and erected countless barricades and traps in the set battlefield. It can be said that outside the entire cave, a net has been laid out, waiting for the giant rats to throw themselves into the net.
After half a day, the preparations were finally ready, and it was up to the White Night to lure the giant rats out.
On this point, Bai Ye had already prepared for this, and his whole cart of shrubs was used for this.
Those shrubs, called Smoked, are a wilderness shrub native to the heterotop. This kind of wood does not have a high calorific value, and it is not easy to ignite and cannot be used as fuel, but they have the characteristic that they can still remain in a burning state in a low-oxygen environment, and once ignited, even a little bit, it will produce an overwhelming smoke, and it is extremely difficult to extinguish. This smoke is extremely diffuse, and although it is non-toxic, if it is covered by thick smoke, it will have a strong feeling of suffocation. In previous lives, the timber was often used by wilderness hunters as a signal tool.
By the way, the Revenant, is a special profession born after the end of the world, most of them are composed of low-level evolutionaries or top physical fitness of humans in small teams, hunting mutated creatures or otherworldly monsters on the edge of the area controlled by humans, most of the time, the corpses of these creatures will be acquired by the power of the settlement or various scientific research institutions, this is a very risky, but also super high-reward profession.
At this moment, Donglai Muzhi, as the leader of the second group, has organized all the members of the second group to disperse to various areas of Anping County, and they follow the map drawn by Bai Ye to find the places where the ground and the underground are connected, most of them are sewer wells, and there are also holes that are occasionally generated for other reasons. Each of them carried a large number of smoke perches and ignition tools.
These people were all in place in half a day, and Bai Ye fired several huge fireworks into the sky at the right time, which were found in a firecracker factory in the current city, which was actually run by the owner of the black gun factory, ostensibly producing firecrackers, but in fact secretly processing shotgun and bullets for incoming guns.
The place where the cave is located is not far from the county seat of Anping, and these fireworks can be seen clearly in the county seat, which is the signal agreed between Bai Ye and everyone, so everyone began to light the smoke perch in their hands, and then threw them into the ground. When all the smoke perches were set on fire, they sealed the entrance to the underground completely, leaving the rats with nowhere to go. Except for the cave where White Night is located, there will be no exit to all underground spaces!
Although the underground space path is complex, deep and long, but the absolute space volume is not too large, in more than 20 holes more than the smoke perch burned down, the smoke quickly spread all over every corner of the underground, which is for those creatures living underground, it can be said that it is a huge disaster from the sky, except for several mutant insects with very low requirements for air quality, almost all the underground creatures are all in the smoke to make a painful cry, and then are chased by the smoke everywhere.
First up are the giant rats everywhere!
Of all the underground creatures, individual giant rats may not be the most powerful, but they definitely have the highest IQ and are also the best in speed, so they instinctively flee in the direction of clean air under the thick smoke. Eventually, the giant rats of the entire underground world converged into a huge group of rats that had never been seen before, and rushed towards the only exit above ground!
Bai Ye and his team were waiting in front of the cave, and in the silence of the cave, suddenly there was a little sound of Xi Xi Suo, and then the sound gradually became louder, and gradually converged, and finally, all the sounds converged together, forming a sound like thunder, like ten thousand horses galloping in the cave!
The first giant rat rushed out of the burrow!
Among the people present, many people were seeing this huge mouse for the first time, and when they saw the huge size, sharp front teeth and bloodthirsty eyes, many people couldn't help but exclaim. Of course, it was the survivors who were brought by the White Night to do manual work, and the Scout soldiers would not make a sound no matter how surprised they were. Because they are the elite, they are the key to the battle that the White Night relies on.
The giant rat was driven out of its home by the sudden smoke and was in a state of agitation and irritation, and when it saw more than a hundred humans in front of it, its anger suddenly burst to the top, and it squeaked and screamed and rushed towards the fortifications, and the confidence that supported it in doing so was the nearly two thousand of its kind behind it. Giant rats are very clever and will not launch suicide attacks if there is no hope of victory, but once their own forces are superior, they will act like living corpses, with no regard for their own lives.
More and more giant rats rushed out of the cave and rushed towards the team of the white night, and the white night took the lead and stood in front of everyone, the not tall figure was like a mountain, which made everyone's hearts suddenly quiet.
In this battle, Bai Ye and his followers will be sharp knives, and Macron will naturally be in charge of commanding the battle. I only heard him shout: "Aim at the target, don't shoot, steady!" ”
When the giant rat group rushed to three hundred meters away from everyone, there was a loud bang, and a fire shot up from the feet of the giant rat, and the giant rat that rushed to the front was suddenly blown into the air by the explosion, and its body was immediately hit by countless steel [beads] shrapnel!
This is the Type 72 anti-infantry jumping mine, which is a structure invented by Huaguo that wraps steel [beads] shrapnel with a plastic mine shell, and 650 lethal steel bullets are installed inside, with an attack range of 14 meters, and there are almost no dead angles. If a human is jumping near a thunderbolt, even if they are lying on the ground, they will be pierced by steel balls. This kind of mine laying method is simple, and there is no need to consider the problem of enemy demining to deal with giant rats, so in the short preparation time before the battle, the fighters laid hundreds of them on the ground.
It's a pity that the stock of this kind of mine is too small, although it is simple to make, but because the international ban on the use of mines in war, there are not too many in Feng Tiannan's hands, and most of them are produced urgently before the end of the world.
And this kind of mine is to kill and injure the enemy's body as the main attack method, and it is not suitable for fighting with living corpses, because living corpses do not feel pain, as long as the body is not destroyed, even if dozens of steel balls enter the body, it will not affect their fighting, so there are not too many in Bai Ye's hands.
