Chapter 8: The Beginning of the Great Calamity

The vehicle has no glass, instead of five cross-shaped displays in the cockpit, with Cortana running quietly in front of the driver's seat. Aside from the steering wheel, there are no physical buttons, joysticks, or instrument clusters, instead of large touchscreen devices that display parameters and virtual buttons.

Next to the cockpit, located in the front half of the tank, there is a living compartment with kitchen and bathroom equipment and a bathroom. There is no special bed, but you can use it as a bed by flattening the driver's seat, which is quite comfortable after trying it out.

The rear of the chariot from left to right is the storage, 3D printing room, and cold room. It can provide supplies in long-distance fulfillment, and the movable space of the 3D printing room is relatively large, so the shooting hole for shooting backwards is open in the printing room, and the cover of the shooting hole is designed to be very strong, so there is no need to worry about the opening of the design opening will reduce the armor strength.

Then there is still six square meters of space left in the middle of the tank, which is reserved for backup. For the time being, while serving as a corridor, the firing ports on both sides are also open here.

Sitting firmly in the driver's seat, Gou Ke couldn't help but be happy, and the sense of accomplishment made him feel full of energy. But he soon calmed down from this, and the crisis of the end times became more and more approaching, and the sense of unease in his heart became stronger.

The rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the signs before the catastrophe have appeared, judging from the news obtained on the Internet, epidemic prevention personnel have begun to appear in various public places. The first fatal case has not yet appeared, but the symptoms before the lesion have already begun to appear. More and more people are beginning to have symptoms of high fever, weakness, and vision deterioration. Various rumors began to spread wildly online. People began to avoid public places as much as possible, prices began to rise, and officials tried to control public opinion, but panic was pervasive.

Before the real disaster came, people were already in chaos.

But it's good that there is a sign before a catastrophe, and smart people can prepare in advance, and the overall survival rate of humanity can be improved.

It's not peaceful outside, and those who rarely go out are even less likely to go out. In addition to purchasing short-term supplies to improve his life after the disaster, Gou Ke has been staying in the basement to practice crossbow shooting or fitness. Coupled with the lightweight body armor that he took the time to make for himself, Gou Cao can be regarded as having the ability to protect himself.

The days of mechanical repetition always go by quickly. The first death case appeared on time, although he died in the hospital, and there were no casualties after the corpse was turned into a zombie, but the accidentally leaked video still caused a lot of riots. At this stage, the official began to be unable to suppress public opinion.

The population of major cities began to withdraw from the urban area in large numbers, and the originally prosperous business districts and office buildings began to be empty. Those who evacuated earlier have now arrived on the outskirts, and those who felt something was wrong later were blocked at the exit of the city by the heavy traffic. At this time, however, the wave of loss began to sweep across the country.

The army and police were able to block it at first, but when zombies began to appear among themselves, they gradually collapsed, and when dealing with zombies, heavy weapons are a good thing, but heavy weapons mean that multiple people need to operate. When the tank crew faces the enemy not from outside the tank but inside the tank, when the plane that needs to drop bombs on the zombie gathering area is occupied by the zombies, no matter how good the army is and how good the commander is, he can only lose.

Heavily armed soldiers will still be torn apart by zombies, how can civilians blocked at the exit of the city be better, the tragic situation on the aerial news footage makes Gou Cao unbearable to watch it anymore. After two more days, the news was gone, and the network was broken.

The end times are coming.

With the help of the printer and Cortana, the rest of the lookout was quickly built. Standing on it, Gou Cao used a steel crossbow equipped with a quadruple scope to headhead any zombie that came close to two hundred meters. On average, three out of five shots hit. Now it's in the far suburbs, and the population density is already limited. So as long as the sound in the garage is minimized, and then the crossbow is used to clean up the loss of a few small eyes every day. But that's just the beginning.

As time goes by, more and more people are zombied, and the pressure on Gou Cao is increasing. He had less and less time to sleep soundly. The garage was starting to run low on defenses, and it was impossible to take in other survivors to defend at any time when anyone could be zombie at any time. Originally, I thought that with the population density of the far suburbs, there would be no zombie swarms, and the threat faced by the auto repair shop was only a few zombies. However, judging from the current state of affairs, Gou Cao was wrong in his prediction.

A month after the cataclysm. At the top of the wall, Gou Cao deployed several steel crossbows with cameras, controlled by Cortana, and autonomously loaded and fired. The influx of zombies was killed individually. Although the power consumption of the auto repair shop began to increase, Gou Cao finally took a break for a while.

In the third month after the cataclysm, the firepower of the steel crossbows began to outgrow, and Gou Cao increased the number of steel crossbows deployed. But the corpses of the zombies began to pile up under the walls, and Gou Cao had to drive his chariot to start cleaning up the corpses.

A large shovel was installed in front of the post-apocalyptic chariot, and the corpses piled up around the garage were shoveled up in a distant open field, poured gasoline on it, and set it on fire. A strange smell began to permeate, but I had a gas mask ready. When you get off the bus

Back at the garage, sit on the watchtower and watch the fire from the burning corpses. Gou Ke begins to wonder if his plan to build a shelter to be a shrunken turtle is really viable.

According to Gou Cao's original assumption, the population in the suburbs is not large, and there will not be many zombies, and it is no problem for the renovated auto repair shop to prevent zombies from entering. According to the document, the global zombieization after being infected with the virus only lasted for three months, and the survivors who could be zombieized after three months were zombieized, and people who did not become zombies were immune to the zombie virus, and no matter how they were bitten, they would not become zombies. Then the number of zombies will not increase after three months. Zombies don't eat human food, they only treat humans as food, and they don't seem to eat anything else. But 60% of the world's people will be zombies, wolves have more meat and less meat, how can there be so many humans for zombies to gnaw. If the zombies follow the law of conservation of energy, they should start starving to death after a few weeks at most, and once the number of zombies begins to decrease, then a single zombie will not pose a danger at all. Because of this reason, Gou Cao thought that he would stick to the auto repair shop for half a year at most, and he would not meet zombies when he went out.

But now it seems that things are not quite right. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Then in the next second, he wanted to give his crow a mouth, because he saw in the distance, a dense mass of zombies were slowly moving towards the auto repair shop, and the number should be no less than four thousand.

The garage couldn't hold it.
