Chapter 80: Syracuse
"I don't think it's needed, we built a dungeon, and the ground is for ordinary people to live in, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and these ordinary people are arranged to build a base, which can still be used, and now the development of the base is on the right track, and ordinary people will be arranged to grow food for construction, so that our warriors can have free hands to hunt and search for supplies." Wang Haoren is not good at management, but he can always draw a scoop according to the gourd. Since there are a lot of vacant houses in the city, it is better to arrange for ordinary people to live than to be empty.
After a few days of warm storage with Bai Meiyun, Wang Haoren embarked on the journey again. Everything in the new rock base is stable, and he can't play any role here, so it is better to go north to find drawings and collect talents. Driving a new energy vehicle and carrying dozens of puppet beasts, Wang Haoren went straight to the Northern Weapons Design Bureau.
The new energy snowmobile, which is about 15 meters long, 8 meters high, and about 5 meters wide, is made of composite metal and weighs 100 tons, which is not something that ordinary mutant beasts can shake at all. The three-metre-high terrain and pneumatic shock-absorbing suspension eliminate the need for bumps on snow. And that's just the empty car, which has a maximum load capacity of up to 300 tons and can travel at speeds of up to 100 kilometers on the snow. Nothing could stop the metal beast from moving forward except for the mutated giant trees.
The front windshield of the cab is bulletproof glass, and the three-finger-thick composite metal protective net can effectively resist the sharp claws of zombies and the sharp teeth of mutant beasts. The night vision system ensures that the vehicle can travel safely even in the dark night. The super-kinetic machine gun with a protrusion of about half a meter on the roof of the car can rotate 360 degrees and shoot without dead ends. Six rotating barrels, with a rate of fire of up to 16,000 rounds per minute, and a 7.62 caliber conical armor-piercing metal warhead, can penetrate even a three-meter-thick concrete wall. If it were not for the interference of the electronic system with radiation, the accuracy of the fire would have been lacking, and the range would have been up to five kilometers. Now it can only achieve an error of no more than 10 centimeters within two kilometers, and it is enough to deal with those super-large mutant beasts.
When the car is moving, it can be said that it is silent, and the sound of the transmission system is basically inaudible when you stand a meter away from the car. Only thirty or forty such vehicles have been built in the Rock Base, mainly because the mutants who can control the composite metal are not capable enough. To build a car like this, you need to work together for about ten days.
If you use ordinary processing methods, you can't make qualified parts at all without precision large-scale processing machinery. What's more, the previous welding tools could not weld these clad metals. If you want to improve welding technology, it will not be able to study it for a while. You can see a car with a dozen cars dragging behind it in the snow, like a train, which they are nicknamed snow trains in the base.
After a five-day journey, Wang Haoren arrived at the former Snow City. This is a paradise for industrial research, and most of the domestic research and development units of new science and technology are concentrated here. Most of the people who live here are researchers from all over the world. There are tens of thousands of research institutes of all sizes, and the urban population is more than 30 million. Disaster strikes, and it becomes a sea of zombies.
There are basically high-tech researchers here, and there are a lot of them, and there is no way for the rescue team to distinguish who is important, so the speed of evacuation will definitely be slow. It was this delay that even the rescue team fell into the zombie group, and the entire city could be evacuated less than one-thirtieth of the total population. Because the number of zombies here is too huge, and the nearest survival base is more than 300 kilometers away, no one dares to approach this place at all.
Wang Haoren put away the car with a storage bag, wore a chemical protective suit, covered his body tightly, and rode a puppet beast close to the city. Since the rescue team was also trapped inside, there were no artificially set barricades on the city's roads. Although a large number of deformed vehicles have blocked the road, the gap between the vehicles can still be navigated. The snow fell, and the zombies were all huddled in the shops on the side of the road, and there were no wandering zombies on the road, except for the occasional zombies who were trapped in the car and roared.
The movement of the puppet beast walking, and the zombies attracted, did not need Wang Haoren's hands at all, so they were eaten as snacks by the puppet beasts. Since he had a puppet beast, Wang Haoren has reduced the time to personally destroy zombies, and most of them rely on puppet beasts to hunt zombies and collect crystals to cultivate. Wang Haoren ordered the puppet beasts to leave crystals while eating zombies, and every once in a while, they would collect them back for cultivation.
Wang Haoren has a large number of puppet beasts, and it is not very difficult to eliminate zombies, but zombies, mutant beasts, and mutant insects are a complete food chain, and once the zombies are extinct, mutant beasts and mutant insects will inevitably flood.
The overwhelming swarm of mutant insects is difficult to resist with manpower alone. The most terrifying are the rat colony, ant colony and bee colony, known as the three invincible groups in the last days. The rats that came and went like the wind and steel, ate everything, and the place they passed was desolate.
If it weren't for the frequent infighting among the rats, the world wouldn't necessarily be in charge. Worker ants that are half a meter long and soldier ants that are more than one meter long are tens of millions at every turn. Super formic acid, even the hardest composite metal can't stop it.
The hive of the bee colony building is several miles in a radius, and the half-human-tall mutant bee can shoot out a tail needle two fingers thick, and the penetration power is no worse than that of the super kinetic energy gun, plus the huge number, there is no opponent at all.
Honey is a natural antidote, and a drop can be taken to protect against the virus. Fortunately, bee colonies can be domesticated and do not actively attack humans. Nine times out of ten, as long as a former beekeeper can get close to the queen bee, he can domesticate the queen bee. Although Wang Haoren is not a professional beekeeper, he still knows the method of domesticating queen bees, which was once widely circulated.
It is not difficult to domesticate the queen bee, but the difficult thing is how to get close to the queen bee in the hive protected by millions of bee colonies. There was once a cattle man who detonated three dangerous goods tankers full of hydrogen oxide, poisoned most of the bee colonies, and then drove a dangerous goods tanker full of ether into the hive to release it, and then took the opportunity to domesticate the queen bee. However, due to his own lack of strength and too ostentatious, he finally died under the assassination. But then again, none of the people who seem to be able to control the bee colony will live long.
Wang Haoren entered Syracuse City under the protection of the puppet group, swept through the zombie group all the way, and broke into the Northern Weapons Research Institute. The huge puppet beast cannot be used in a small room. Wang Haoren took off his chemical protective suit, ran into the building, lured the zombies out of the building, and asked the puppet beast to help clean up the zombie group in the open space in front of the building. After seven or eight trips back and forth, most of the zombies in the building were finally brought out and cleaned up. There were a few zombies left, and Wang Haoren killed them one by one with a machete.
