Chapter 46: What is the main thread of this story?
The sound of wind, rain, thunder, gunfire......
More than a hundred stupid and sluggish zombies were wiped out in a short time.
Cries of pain, cursing, shouting, cheering......
The captives of the armed police base have finally been recruited.
"Report to the boss, a total of 660 people were captured, including 149 armed policemen, 190 sweepers, 306 cannon fodder, and 15 women who were found in the captivity of the armed police upstairs. However, more than half of the more than 600 people were wounded...... "Zhang Haiyu reported to Li Mu, who had returned to the base.
"Find the leaders of both sides and bring them to me!" Li Mu stood under the eaves at the gate of the main building, looking at the corpses all over the ground in the heavy rain, and an inexplicable sense of pathos swelled up......
In just one hour, more than a thousand people have died here! According to pre-war intelligence, there were at least 1,800 people on both sides combined, and now there are only more than 600 left......
War, what is it for? Just to survive in the last days, such a large casualty is simply more terrifying than attrition because of zombies. Is it for supplies? But everyone is dead, what's the use of asking for supplies? Maybe it's just Malcolm's selfish desires?
Malcolm deserves to die, but the most damned one is probably aliens!
If it weren't for their invasion, if there were no zombies and insects created by terrifying parasites, how could such a killing happen in peacetime?
"Boss, someone brought it!" Zhang Haiyu reported, but he brought two people, directly bringing the sweeper and the top commander of the armed police base who are still alive at the moment.
"This guy's name is Han Cheng, Malcolm's deputy." Zhang Haiyu pointed to the two guys and said, "The detachment leader of the armed police base is dead, and this guy is the political commissar here." ”
"These are just two captives, where are the deputies, commissars?" Li Mu glanced at the two guys lightly, then raised his hand and pointed to the corpses all over the yard, and said, "You two may become one of them, but it depends on your performance." ”
"Don't, don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender......" Han Cheng immediately shouted.
"Hmph, coward!" The commissar snorted coldly.
"Lao Zhang, kill him." Li Mu lightly pointed at the political commissar and said.
"Huh?" Zhang Haiyu was stunned, but Wang Jinquan pushed him, and then the two dragged the political commissar towards the rain.
For the sake of safety, the two leaders who brought it to Li Mujian not only brought collars, but also deliberately tied their hands, but they were not afraid that he would resist. And the political commissar still had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he expected that Li Mu would definitely stop at the last moment, after all, if you want to completely subdue his soldiers, the best way is of course to let him help with ideological work, it is impossible to really kill him!
But obviously this guy is wrong, for Li Mu, to a certain extent, this world is like a set, or a game, except for An Ran, the life and death of the people here really don't mean much to him, at most there will be some pathos and emotion from the perspective of being a human being, not to mention that the more than 1,000 corpses at the scene have already numbed Li Mu's heart......
Seeing that Zhang Haiyu's muzzle had already been pressed against his head, the political commissar found that Li Mu didn't even move his gaze for half a minute, still looking at the rain curtain in the distance, so he panicked in his heart, and it was too late to beg for mercy......
"Six hundred and fifty-nine ......" After the gunshot, Li Mu muttered a number, and said, "Find another leader of the armed police." ”
Zhang Haiyu responded and strode into the building, but Han Cheng's legs were already weak and he was almost unstable on his feet.
Malcolm scary? It's more just that his size and brutality make people feel terrible, like a beast that induces fear when face to face, but it's not irresistible.
But Li Mu gave him a deeper fear, that indifferent look like a devil from hell, making people think that there was nothing to resist from the heart. What's even more terrifying is that he easily reaped all the fruits of victory with just one heavy truck and dozens of prisoners! Such a person is an invincible existence in the last days......
With the experience of the political commissar, the deputy detachment leader was much wiser, and immediately expressed his willingness to take refuge in Li Mu and become his prisoner - what if he didn't agree? Waiting for the collar to explode?
As a result, the final step of the battlefield cleanup was carried out smoothly, and all the captives obeyed the order, first collecting weapons and supplies around the dead on the battlefield, especially allowing Han Cheng to find the collar controllers of the captives controlled by Malcolm. He also used the first-aid capsules stored in the base to treat the seriously injured prisoners, and looked for all the vehicles available at the scene.
Then use the gasoline from the scrapped vehicles in the battle to pour it on the corpses all over the base, and set fire to all of them - although the battlefield can be left to the zombies to "clean up", Li Mu is unwilling to leave enough food for those things to develop and grow. And not letting the bodies of these people be buried in the mouth of the zombies, it can be regarded as a good home......
Let Chen Zhe lead people to bring all the prisoners and supplies back to the villa community, and Li Mu will return to Jinyuan Shopping Mall with a fleet of heavy trucks.
An Ran has already led people to complete the inventory of Jinyuan Shopping Mall, originally Jinyuan Shopping Mall has a large number of necessary materials for life, plus the family background of the sweeper, it can be said that it is quite rich, and I can't say that I can call Chen Zhe again, brought all the vehicles that can run from the community, and carried all the materials back three times in a row.
The originally deserted community instantly became lively, and all the members of the community and the captives added up to more than seven hundred!
Li Mu made a decision that all the captives would live in the townhouses in front, except for the independent villa area where the official members could live at the back. In addition, two independent villas were opened up as warehouses, one was used to store daily necessities, and the other was an ammunition depot - although the ammunition depot of the armed police base did not have many high-end weapons, there were only two Type 95 light machine guns, and even the bullets were mostly empty cartridges for training and anti-riot rubber bullets, and the number of live ammunition was limited.
Followed by a reward for meritorious deeds, Li Mu announced that all the original official members of the community would be rewarded with a pound of fresh meat, plus a small part of the food from the seized materials to share with everyone. The first batch of civilian captives were all removed from their collars and allowed to become official members of the community, while the first batch of sweeper captives who participated in the battle with the team incorporated by the Jinyuan Mall became honorary members of the community and enjoyed the same treatment as official members, but they could not take off their slave collars.
As for all the personnel captured in the armed police base in the end, whether they are sweepers, armed police, or cannon fodder, all of them are classified as the lowest captives and enjoy the lowest treatment.
All the captives were divided into three brigades, those with good reinforcement effect and high shooting level will become members of the corpse hunting team, those with the worst physical level will become handymen as logistics support for the base, and the rest will be integrated into the waste picking team......
The reorganization was carried out in an orderly manner, but Li Mu was confused in his heart - it is said that this operation is not small, and he has successively completed two powerful bases nearby, and his community can be said to have become a well-deserved overlord of the East Fifth Ring Road, but Li Mu found that the system progress bar has not changed at all......
Li Mu recalled that the first time he discovered the system progress bar was the first time he returned to the main world, and the system progress bar directly reached 9.2 percent. But then the progress bar never changed, and even Li Mu returned to the main world twice, but he didn't find that the progress bar increased, which proves that it is not necessary to return to the main world to receive "experience".
So, what was the reason for the change in progress last time? Li Mu thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a possibility, that is-the main line!
When making a movie, there will definitely be a clear main line, and as the film progresses, there may be some inconsequential plots interspersed in the process, but in order to tell the film completely, the main goal must be achieved.
And what should be the ultimate goal of traveling into this last world? Or rather, what is the story that the film is ultimately going to tell?
It's definitely not how you fight and kill in the last days, how you conquer the survivors of the end times!
Li Mu began to analyze with the thinking of a director, if he is a director, what kind of story will he deduce to be liked by the audience? If it is a war movie, what the audience wants to watch most is definitely not to fight with the survivors, but to fight to the death with aliens! If it is a feature film, what the audience wants to see is not how to develop the community and how to survive in the last days, but to expose the alien conspiracy and save the entire earth!
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he finally figured out the problem of the progress bar for a while - the last time he encountered an alien flying saucer shooting zombies, he had huge doubts about the relationship between alien flying saucers and zombies, and after returning, the progress bar suddenly appeared, and it was directly 9.2% of the progress!
Perhaps, the progress bar has something to do with aliens? Only when you find the aliens again, or solve the reason why the aliens attack the zombies, will the main story line advance and the movie progress bar be completed?
