67 A solar storm is coming
Zhao Xinghua led Lin Xiaoman to the designated place at the appointed time and returned to the base by helicopter.
In this mission, Zhao Xinghua retrieved the potato seedlings, and got a few pieces of information about the conditions needed for the evolution of zombies, which are very valuable, and Zhao Xinghua said it according to the idea that there are zombie corpses buried in the flower pond in the urban village, and it is possible to catalyze the evolution of plants.
The Nansha base was a busy scene, with all the survivors mobilized, and the generator sets providing lighting and power to each construction site at any cost in the final days. Humans have chosen several elevated areas of the island as their main settlements, growing crops in areas that have not been flooded by the sea, and storing weapons and ammunition separately from safe distances, all in a planned deployment arrangement.
Zhao Xinghua's special service camp was also relocated to a factory, which was originally a factory for manufacturing motorcycles, and there are many semi-finished products left here, several tall factories, each with an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, after the solar storm broke out, solar flares will produce X-rays, extreme ultraviolet radiation and other harmful radiation to the human body, and human beings need to reduce outdoor activities during the day. These days, nearly 30 people have been deployed to join the special service team, all of them are the original armed special police, these soldiers are more familiar with small-scale operations in the city, Zhao Xinghua organized the team into three teams, each team of twelve members, Ning Yue, Luo Guoquan, Huang Feng each as the team leader. Jiaojiao and herself acted alone, and flowed to meet the needs of the operation.
Everyone was busy cleaning the new camp, a truck drove to the factory gate and stopped, a soldier got out of the car, took a dozen handover orders that needed to be signed by Zhao Xinghua, a few thick pages, Zhao Xinghua took a general look, clothes, bedding, weapons and ammunition, toothpaste and toothbrushes, messy everything, and signed his name on it. The soldier took out a separate list and handed it over, and Zhao Xinghua saw that it was written on it, 100 new-style sabers, 200 sets of new-style combat protective clothing, and 100 new-style riot shields...... Even the windbreaker they requested was redesigned, lined with anti-ultraviolet fabric, which can effectively isolate harmful rays emitted by the sun such as ultraviolet rays.
The new combat uniform is still mainly made of radiation-proof fabrics, no longer using camouflage color design, using dark gray, with a wide jumpsuit behind the collar, a lot of cargo pockets on the body, no longer equipped with a tactical vest alone, as well as matching dust masks, anti-glare and windproof glasses, tactical gloves, etc., the newly shipped combat knife scabbard and handle have some changes, but the overall change is not much.
Soon another car came, Zhao Xinghua hurried over to sign for the delivery, feeling like he was receiving the express now, and he didn't know what the items in the package were, and there was always a sense of novelty. However, after signing this time, I saw that these received items were not packaged, and they were a hundred mountain bikes. It seems that the means of transportation to go out in the future depends on this thing, this is to prevent the car from being able to use the situation, pedaling this long distance, it is better than running on two legs, and the logistics of these people are really thoughtful.
Like the meteorite shower, the solar storm broke out in advance, and after the storm broke out, human beings still had 7-8 minutes to prepare, and the major national bases used the last time to transmit information to each other, and Zhao Xinghua's overview of the evolution of zombies from Xu Mengfei was also the main transmission content, which made human researchers take a lot of detours and set the basic direction for future research.
Later generations recorded that the Sun began to erupt in succession on November 14. There were 125 small eruptions at the beginning, followed by a solar flare at level X5.2, followed by the strongest flare at level X56. Scientists pointed out that the solar flare eruption was caused by the interaction of a large group of sunspots, and the shock wave of charged particles ejected by the flare eruption caused the strongest geomagnetic storm. For mankind, this is equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of billions of megaton atomic bombs. It was night, and people all over the world were fortunate enough to see the colorful aurora in the night sky.
A day later, material with an electric charge and magnetic field ejected from the solar wind and corona arrives near the Earth's orbit, disturbing the Earth's magnetic field.
The radio waves to and from the bases were completely interrupted, and some of the equipment that relied on automatic computer control after the end of the world also stopped working, and the major nuclear power plants around the world that lost their cooling cycles exploded almost at the same time, but the explosion yield was relatively small, and the yield of hundreds of tons of TNT was far less than the power of the atomic bomb with a yield of tens of thousands of tons, and the nuclear radiation produced began to pollute the surroundings, and more mutated organisms would appear in this world. At this time, Japan, which had 55 nuclear power plants, was the country with the highest concentration of nuclear power plants, and the survivors experienced meteorite rains, tsunamis, and solar storms, and then again suffered from nuclear radiation, making it recognized as the most disaster-stricken area after the apocalypse.
On the roof of an abandoned factory on Spratly Island, a few people sit and watch the aurora in the sky.
"Brother Zhao, why didn't you kill that junior licker that day?" This question has been hidden in Lin Xiaoman's heart for many days.
"Yes, if what Xiaoman said is true, that Dean Xu and his daughter chose to feed the zombies with opponents, then they would have lost their conscience and would be punished." Ning Yue said.
"If I did kill that junior licker, what about the survivors there? I couldn't bring them back. In addition, I often think about a question, if 2 people can be saved by sacrificing 20 people, should I sacrifice them? What if 200 people were sacrificed to save 20,000 people? No matter what the purpose of that Xu Mengfei is, whether she is a cult or an orthodox religion, her purpose is to spread the teachings among human beings and provide shelter to the survivors, but her armed forces are zombies. A person who has this ability in the last days is great no matter what kind of government he establishes, at least we don't have it, don't we? ”
"Brother Zhao, you don't have to be arrogant, your role in the base is also indispensable, just like this oil storage plant, the first to kill a third-level evolution zombie among humans, this time I have collected information about the evolution of zombies, I believe that your role will become more and more important in the future." Fan Yao has always regarded Zhao Xinghua as an idol or a mentor.
"Lao Zhao, you said that if that licker is in a fully evolved state, does Xu Mengfei still have the ability to control it?" Gao Lixiong's concerns are more practical than theirs.
