Chapter 095: Nowhere to Talk Desolate
Oh my God, how is that possible?
The two couldn't believe that the refugees who had fled could just become zombies. But the reality is so cruel, judging from the images sent back from the investigation, those zombies are relatively fresh, and there is no limb damage caused by long-term wandering.
For the two who have seen a lot of zombies in the last days, the new zombies and the old zombies can still be distinguished at a glance.
But when the ninth district was bombarded, the Deep Blue Star Base did not deliberately harm the residents inside. Instead, they themselves took the initiative to blow up the city walls.
After the city was broken, the people fled in all directions, thinking that Pan Wu and the other members of the 9-member Presbyterian Church of the original 9th District would always have to take care of some of the people in their hands, but in just one month, those people turned from living to walking corpses.
It shouldn't be!
Ren Xiaobai and Cheng Hai couldn't figure out how so many people could suddenly become zombies. Even if the remnants of Sector 9 are reluctant to take them in, the forces of the Deep Blue Star base that have been left to clean up the ruins of Sector 9 after the battle have been keeping an eye on the refugees.
What's more, Ding You also specially sent Shen Xinghuai and the patrol team to search for survivors in the surrounding area, if they are willing to come, the Deep Blue Star Base will definitely open its arms.
But the result was nothing, everyone thought that those refugees had escaped with Pan Wu and might have joined other survivor bases.
I didn't expect ...... That's how it turned out.
Could it be that those wicked people in Pan Wu actually kept poor refugees in captivity, waiting for them to die of thirst, starvation, and freezing, and then drove new corpses to add blockage to the Deep Blue Star Base?
His heart can be punished...... It's absolutely unconscionable and shameless!
"Boss, what should I do?" Ren Xiaobai didn't realize that her voice was hoarse.
"At their speed, how long will it take to get outside of our city?" Ding You's eyes were red, and he almost asked through gritted teeth.
"It will take about three and a half hours, and at 7 o'clock in the morning, you will reach the safety wall at the bottom of the mountain." Ren Xiaobai quickly replied, in fact, she had calculated this time several times.
"Lao Cheng, let's go, go to the Yamashita Command Sub-center, and notify all the soldiers to cancel the vacation and return to their posts."
Ding You was so angry that he even stumbled a little when he walked. Things have developed to this point, although the heart is painful, but those poor people who have become new zombies still have to deal with it after all.
Heaven to the left, hell to the right.
Unexpectedly, in a flash, the survivors who were still living in the ninth district were separated by yin and yang, and people and ghosts had different paths.
Do you blame yourself?
Ding You's heart was cold, and he definitely couldn't blame himself. If you don't fight back, it's these people from the Deep Blue Star Base who die tragically.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the managers of the ninth district, all of them are ruthless and inhumane.
Ding You gritted his teeth and made up his mind that no matter where Pan Wu and the others went, they would definitely catch back the corpses and break them into pieces!
Ding You has attended more than one meeting of the Ministry of Defense Technology, but this is the first time that it has been convened urgently under such circumstances. Although those zombies may have been alive ten or twenty days ago, they have indeed become another creature now.
If you don't kill it, the security threat to the Deep Blue Star base will increase.
killed, and worried that the warriors who had just defected from the ninth district would not be able to do it.
Hateful!
The new zombies didn't even have time to give birth to the virus crystal nucleus before they were used by people with evil intentions to attack each other.
At this moment, is it the zombies that are terrible, or the human heart that is terrible?
Is there an answer? Which will be the answer?
In the end, it was Ding You who made the decision, hardened his heart and set up the interception defense line 2 kilometers outside the security wall, and asked all the soldiers to intercept the zombie tide there.
After the short meeting, the troops of the military administration area had been assembled, and more than 2,000 regular combat troops, including the artillery battalion, had arrived.
Guns and ammunition have also been distributed, and armed robots have begun to load trucks and prepare to be deployed to the front line.
The vigilant patrol guards cooperated with the artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft missile company to deploy in the base, after all, if the zombies were brought over in the ninth district, there might be other means of attack, and they had to be guarded against.
I didn't expect to be eating Chinese New Year's Eve in a warm room a few hours ago, and a few hours later I was ready to go out to fight. Life in these last days is really fucked up.
But the military order is like a mountain, the base is provided with good food and drink every day, and these soldiers also know the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, but they have no opinions, and they set off in an orderly manner.
Modular armed robots, with powerful firepower, are a powerful weapon to avoid losses to human troops. Because it is available in the upgraded supermarket space, and it is relatively affordable. So the number of Ding You configurations is 200 units.
Each robot has 4 small grenade tubes and a machine gun, which is very powerful. Besides, those new zombies are not much of a threat. So it's not strictly difficult to get rid of them.
There is only one thing that can't be overcome, and that is the hurdle in my heart.
For this reason, Ding You strictly forbade the commanders and fighters to reveal the origin of those zombies to the soldiers, so as not to cause some incidents for no reason.
The armored car that led the way in front of the zombie tide before was hit by the artillery of the base and had already run away. However, the corpse tide habitually followed the sound to this way, and there was no other way to make them turn around.
A total of 16 howitzers from the artillery battalion of the artillery positions have begun to shell the corpses at a distance of 7 kilometers. Many cannons fired in unison, and the situation was really shattered.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the previous life, it was a time when every family set off firecrackers to wish for a good New Year, but in this last life, Ding You commanded a team of thousands of people to fight the walking dead.
The rumbling cannons continued, and the light of the explosion reflected half of the sky, weaving a strange and absurd image in the cold and windy early morning.
What a fucking apocalypse!
Standing on the lookout platform next to the security wall, Ding You held a full-color night vision binoculars and scolded this bastard's last days.
In the face of powerful firepower, the new corpse that had just become a zombie for a short time basically did not resist. Wheat fell, like a machine gun, and was blown to pieces in a shell.
Those who can completely approach the perimeter cordon of the security wall are only a few thousand people, no, it should be thousands of living corpses.
But how can these be the opponents of the fighters with submachine guns in their hands, and when a shuttle bullet goes down, all their heads bloom.
As a result, the ten miles of countryside were filled with gunsmoke, as well as stumps, broken arms and dirty blood everywhere.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, instead of greeting each other in the base, soldiers and residents were organized to come and burn and bury the corpses. Many people vomited out the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night, and there was a disgusting taste all the way.
The festive atmosphere had been diluted to the point that it had almost disappeared, so many stumps, many of them still shaking their heads on the ground and struggling and screaming, and the sporadic gunshots drifted in the sky from time to time.
Although I tried to count the number of zombie heads that were thrown into the firewood, many of them could not even find their heads under the fire. But the number of corpses that can be counted exceeds 40,000.
The cremation took a whole day from early morning to late afternoon.
There is an ancient poem "a thousand miles of lonely graves", but now there are almost 50,000 cremated corpses. If it is not cremation but burial, it is the standard ten thousand graves.
Who can tell which scene is more tragic and miserable?
Alas...... Nowhere to talk about desolation!
Being troubled like this, including Ding You, the entire Deep Blue Star Base was in no good mood for the New Year. Although some things are not explicitly stated, the residents and warriors are not fools and will always be aware of it.
It's just that the big guys can't bear to tell the truth, it's a wound without scabs, because if it is torn open, it will bleed......
Ding You has been immersed in the radar station these days, wanting to verify with Yan Liangcai what kind of range the radar in the base can cover, and what level of precision can the detection reach.
However, the result was not very ideal, Yan Liangcai told Ding You the truth, the equipment is good equipment, but because of the impact of the nuclear explosion, the world is now full of floating nuclear pollution clouds, which are full of radioactive particle dust.
Radio communications and radar waves were all interfered with, and the effectiveness was greatly reduced. Isn't it also listless that you see the sun in the sky, and you can't see it from time to time.
Originally, the radar in the base could cover a range of 300 kilometers, and it could also monitor 360 degrees. However, with radioactive dust interference, radio waves do not travel too far, so the maximum detection range is currently in the range of 30-40 kilometers.
It barely covers the periphery of the city center of the former 9th District and the Northwest District, and it is impossible to detect the city center at all, because the obstruction of tall buildings also affects the effectiveness of ground-based radar.
In addition, there is no way to use satellites, and there is no other way unless nuclear contamination can be completely eliminated.
For Ding You, this is not good news. Because he is also trying to use the radar to guide him, he plans to hunt zombies in the urban area in the northwest region, and it seems that this idea may be in vain.
Although a lot of jobs have been planned and designed in the whole base, many things are not achieved overnight, but need to be developed step by step.
For example, in the planting industry, from the cultivation of seeds to maturity, the growth period can be slightly accelerated, even though the polluting radiation can be filtered out in the planting warehouse. But it will take about a month or two to see the initial results.
The base is now consuming crystal cards every day, and Ding You has calculated that after the New Year, he will be able to prepare a reserve of food that can be consumed by the whole base for a month. However, at that time, there was only 1 million crystal cards left.
In this way, if there is no replenishment, the entire base can only last for almost 100 days, that is, more than three months.
By that time, the mountain planting areas and other newly established planting areas combined would not have enough food to be harvested for so many people.
Do you all go and drink the northwest wind?
Ding You has calculated that if you use high-tech cultivation and breeding warehouses, you can use modular mixed breeding warehouses of various types. Including pigs, poultry, rice, fish, etc., one acre of land area can stably supply 35 ordinary people for a year of mixed food consumption.
Of course, this corresponding single consumption is not the current consumption of food and clothing in the base, but the reasonable amount of food for each person.
If the base is 20,000 people, it is necessary to configure at least 570 acres of planting area, and there is a huge demand for high-tech planting and breeding equipment.
And those devices also need crystal cards to be taken out of the supermarket space, so there is no play without crystal cards.
The layout of high-tech planting and cultivation equipment with a range of one square meter is about 22 kg of installation materials.
One acre of land is nearly 15 tons of equipment. If it is more than 570 acres, it will need to consume more than 8.5 million energy points, which corresponds to more than 8.5 million crystal cards.
Oh my God, it's astronomical!
