Chapter IV

Don't blame Li Jie and others for being greedy for tomatoes, in Li Jie's game, the variety of materials produced is really limited, only apples, sugar cane, watermelon, a few kinds of fruits, compared to ordinary survivors struggling to survive, it is naturally much better, but compared with before the apocalypse, what is this monotonous diet? Therefore, it is conceivable that Li Jie yearns for a civilized society.

In fact, if Li Jie was more careful, he would find that although Mr. Huo and the others proudly looked at the eagerness leaking from Li Jie and the others, the eyes of several of them occasionally looking at the tomatoes were also full of eagerness!

Although this is the university town's own planting base, although the tomato yield is good under the careful cultivation of agricultural college students and teachers, you can imagine how much it costs to plant these ancestors in order to plant these ancestors in the air 10 meters above the ground!

If nothing else, the soil has to be collected, right? After collecting the soil, it is also necessary to sort the debris, collect the utensils, make and lay the bottom fertilizer, load the pots, and the most difficult thing is to rely on manpower, under the threat of the infected, to put these things on the viaduct more than ten meters high. And that's just the beginning, watering, fertilizing, ventilating, pesticiding, and so on......

At such a big price, where is the precious vegetable that can be eaten if anyone wants to?

What's more, there are more monks and less porridge! Looking at a lot, but the actual daily ripening of tomatoes does not exceed 100, this is still an ideal state, occasional insect infestation, or improper care, on average, only 60 output a day!

And this 60 tomatoes a day will be divided by the entire University Town Base No. 273! What's more, these things produced have to support part of the ZL Military Region......

In addition, this tomato has just begun to bear fruit for half a month, and the total number of tomatoes produced, Mr. Huo himself, has only eaten one, and the other has to be counted in a small serving of tomato egg noodles......

As for the other 7 men and 3 women, they are obviously students, and they are even more dumbfounded, each of them has only eaten 1 to reward their labor, and it will be their turn again, I don't know when it will be!

……

Ten minutes later, a group of infected people came "as promised", bustling, Li Jie visually inspected, at least 100. According to Mr. Huo's explanation, they all ran out of the city. The living people in the city have finished eating, and the animals have also finished eating, and they are instinctively driven to scatter in all directions, looking for prey.

An infected person with a face covered in black stains and bloodshot eyes looked around, hoping to find a living creature to fill its belly. Suddenly, its nose sniffed vigorously, and a low growl came out of its throat, a look of confusion.

On the bridge deck, among the men who came with Teacher Huo, one of them looked at the actions of this infected person, a little annoyed, and some muttered viciously: "These ghost things are getting harder and harder to fool!" ”

As he complained in a low voice, Li Jie watched the infected person get closer and closer to the viaduct, and finally, it stopped, sniffing something vigorously next to a few cars parked under the bridge, getting more and more excited, more and more impatient, and kept pulling the car door with his hand, attracting the infected people next to him to gather one after another.

"Hey, I might have to call for support now." Teacher Huo's face is not good-looking at the moment. Before, if they encountered such a situation, they would choose to stick to the bridge deck, and the reserve materials on the bridge deck could allow the three people on duty above to hold on for up to 7 days. During these 7 days, as the smell dissipates, the infected will gradually disperse, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, the university town base will also send a special combat team to start cleaning up the infected.

However, at this moment, there are too many people on the bridge, Li Jie and his entourage are 18, plus the 8 people he brought, plus the 3 people who were originally on duty on the bridge, the total number of zeros and zeros adds up, and there are already 29 people on the bridge deck at this moment.

With so many people gathered here, the smell of humans will become so strong that there is a tendency for the infected people below to gather more and more.

As a last resort, the group could only retreat to the greenhouse again after Mr. Huo's explanation, and use the greenhouse to temporarily block the smell, hoping that the wind could blow the smell away.

However, half an hour passed, and more and more infected people began to scream at the bridge deck about ten meters high under the bridge piers, and the sound became louder and louder.

Teacher Huo, who was helpless, finally called for rescue: "Command room, command room, please speak if you receive it!" ”

……

In the process of asking for help, Mr. Huo specifically pointed out the situation of Li Jie and his party, and he didn't wait long before a rumbling sound came!

Li Jie thought it was thunder, but later, the slight vibration from the ground and the sound from far and near all indicated that this was some kind of large machinery coming!!

Teacher Huo smiled and joked: "It seems that the top attaches great importance to you!" Even the oil tiger is out of the way! ”

Soon, Li Jie knew what the oil tiger in Mr. Huo's mouth was referring to.

Standing on the bridge deck, dozens of meters away, three kings of the land, tanks, are galloping at an absolutely not slow speed!

This completely breaks the stereotype of Li Jie's impression that the tank is slow! THIS, THIS IS AT LEAST 50KM/H!

……

It was not at all unexpected to Li Jie, three tanks, eliminating more than 100 infected people, were completely cannon to fight mosquitoes, and even, let alone artillery, even machine guns were not fired.

Most of the infected people were directly crushed to death by the tank, and the few who slipped through the net were simply shot and killed by a few soldiers who came out of the tank.

This scene made Li Jie and his party feel a little tight.

Seeing everyone's ugly faces, Mr. Huo was a little puzzled, how could the team that had come here from AX City not far away not see blood? Is it too bloody?

Bloody indeed.

The tank dealt with one hundred and ten infected people, and it seemed to those who didn't know that it was the number one hundred and ten, and they were not afraid to die and hugged the tank. What is that not looking for death?

Just one foot on the accelerator, many infected people were directly crushed over, and the flesh and blood under the track was indeed unacceptable.

The smell of blood in the air made Mr. Huo also a little embarrassed, and he explained: "After solving these monsters in a while, someone will come to clean them up, so it's disgusting, but the key is to save ammunition." As for the blood stains or something, as soon as the wind blows and the rain rushes, you can't see it in a few days, it's okay, just get used to it. ”

But how did he know that Li Jie and his party were disgusting not only in the way of killing the infected!

The infected can be saved!!

Li Jie's ability can restore the infected!!

What does this mean? It means that these miserable dead infected are not monsters, but just uncured human beings!!

The rest of the people are still fine, and as an intellectual who has lived in a special era, as a person who has recovered after being infected, Professor Shang Lao looked at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth turned purple, the whole person trembled, and his fingers pointed to the meat under the tank track under the bridge and trembled: "This ...... This ....... this!! ”

PS: I've seen countless zombie movies, and I've read countless apocalyptic novels, and the setting in my book is: the infected. As the name suggests, humans infected by some kind of bacteria or viruses are extremely aggressive, contagious, as if they don't kill them, and the rest of them will never be at peace. But when they are "cleaned up" in large numbers, people find that all this is reversible, and the infected relatives can be cured...... The monsters that were killed by their own hands before turned out to be just a sick person, or even their own relatives, so how would people feel? I'm trying to write, but the pen is not enough, and I hope you'll forgive me.
