Chapter Eighty-Three—The Siege

Not long after everyone got off the highway, they connected to a two-way four-lane provincial highway, the provincial highway scratched the entire county-level city in a circle, the city's urban range was built along the hills and rivers, the terrain was high in the north and low in the south, so everyone went to the north of the city, the highest part of the provincial highway, two off-road RVs stopped on the side of the road and the fence, everyone stood in a line and held binoculars to observe all the movements in the city below.

"There should be a lot of survivors in this city, you see that the living corpses in that direction are particularly dense, but there is no movement in the villa community on the side, as if the living corpses of the whole city are surrounded there"

Zhou Zhiyuan said with one hand holding the telescope

"From the map, the largest building in the direction is a round-shaped park, surrounded by a moat-like waterway, and there is an artificial lake in the center that leads from the river, and the park is surrounded by shopping malls, hospitals, police stations, and fire stations, which should be the most prosperous place in this county-level city."

Liu Jianyu looked at the map software in the tablet and said

"Ah Hao asked the drone to go over and see what was going on there, and try to fly as high as possible so that the survivors there wouldn't be spotted, I'm really curious about what makes the living corpses of the whole city interested there."

Zhou Zhiyuan put down the binoculars and said to Chen Guohao

"Isn't this a short distance from a nuclear power plant? It seems that there are only 60 kilometers left, and now it is more than 5 o'clock, almost 6 o'clock, wait a minute, do we still have to move on?"

Fang Xuan asked after yawning

"Haven't you woken up yet, big sister? All the way, Weien was driving, but you slept in the trunk all the way until you just got out of the car."

Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile

"you, I can be your daughter's age, uncle! I know that you feel sorry for your woman, and I will keep vigil all the way tonight, so I slept all the way to make up for sleep."

Fang Xuan glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan and said

"The drones have arrived at their destination, I'll show you the picture, the living corpses on the way just flew over are quite scattered, and the closer you get to the park, the more and more dense the number of living corpses."

Chen Guohao said

The real-time footage taken by the drone from above shows that the entire circular park only has two entrances and exits about 6 meters wide like arch bridges in the northeast and southwest, and the north and south of the park are mostly administrative and civil affairs buildings, while the east and west of the park are a large area of green area similar to a sightseeing tea garden and the residential area of the people, and the lake and the ring viewing river in the park are integrated with the river next to the county-level city.

The entire park is densely packed with living corpses to surround the entire park, and the nearby streets and alleys are all black and oppressive sea of people from above, and the only two entrances and exits of the park are blocked by several large fire trucks and buses, and the living corpses outside have no way to enter the park, in addition to large vehicles, there are many man-made barricades scattered around the car.

In addition to public toilets, there are more than 10 small newsstand-like buildings in the park, and there are three larger landmarks, one of which is the former residence of an ancient celebrity, a three-hall courtyard, the other is a four-storey modern building, which is supposed to be an activity center and library for citizens, and the last building is a small pier with two floors parked outside.

There were four medium-sized trucks and two pickup trucks parked outside the tallest activity center, and it seemed that most of the survivors were hiding in that building, but there were still quite a few tents on the green turf outside and in the middle of the courtyard of the three-entry courtyard, and there were at least 100 people living in the tents alone, and if the activity center and courtyard were also full of survivors, there were at least 300 survivors in the entire park.

Looking at the picture of the drone slowly scratching in circles, Zhou Zhiyuan said suspiciously: "It's strange, why don't living corpses cross that sightseeing waterway?"

"Could it be that there are new mutated animals like the one we saw in the waterway, so the living corpses won't go there?"

Zhang Hongda asked

"Impossible, the living corpses and Ben don't have the wisdom to dodge danger, and the monsters that ate them in the water before haven't been rushing forward and rushing in the direction of the people, and the only explanation is that there are some obstacles or something that emits a special smell on the periphery of the waterway, so that the living corpses will not go to the ring-shaped waterway."

Xie Dongcheng replied

"Now that it's dark and the number of living corpses is large and dense, even if we zoom in, we can't see clearly what is going on on the periphery of the ring channel, should we retreat to a safe place and come back tomorrow to investigate?"

Chen Guohao asked

Zhou Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "It's okay, let's drive the car to a higher place, tonight everyone will stay in the RV, and I will communicate with them about the food of the wolves and let them solve it by themselves, and at night we will continue to use infrared thermal imaging and night vision lenses to observe the situation of the survivor camp up close."

Everyone parked the RV on a hilly platform about 3 kilometers north of the city, and the wolves were scattered into the forest on the mountain to guard the camp in the dark, the two RVs looked dark from the outside but the inside of the car box was brightly lit, everyone was preparing to eat dinner in their respective car boxes and read the videos and books collected on the road, before the disaster, Zhou Zhiyuan and his party downloaded various video materials on the Internet because of their interest were also placed in the team's server, as long as they watched directly through WIFI.

After the dinner break, Chen Guohao integrated the general's night vision device into the search and rescue drone as one of the lenses, and the other lens was infrared thermal imaging, and after takeoff, the real-time plane was synchronized to the LCD TV inside the two RVs, so the picture was divided into two red and yellow thermal imaging pictures on the left and green night vision goggles on the right, and the drone did not fly very fast, in order to let everyone see the situation on the street clearly.

The picture came to the car array outside the entrance, the bus and the fire truck are blocked at the door in an H-shaped arrangement, and the inside of the car has steel pipes or sandbags that reinforce and replace the effect, and the outside is a steel bar inserted in an oblique downward direction, and there is a device on the roof that should be from the police station to prevent vehicle collisions, even if the living corpse really climbs up, it is still difficult to move, and there are some police anti-collision spurs placed on the ground inside the car array.

"The people who are arming have a set, and the arrangement of the big car and the direction of the reinforcement make the thrust of the living corpse reverse to the internal test, making the entire car formation more stable."

Liu Jianyu looked at the picture and said

The drone flew into the park and descended slightly, turning the picture to the real entrance of Gongyuan and flying along the river, where an iron gate was scratched with chains and many locks were fastened, and the edge of the river was surrounded by a 2-meter-high barbed wire, many of which were slanted upwards into the soil to reveal sharp ends facing the outside, and many living corpses were inserted into the steel bars like barbecues, and many half-dead living corpses were hung on the barbed wire on the outer wall of the entire circular waterway.
