Chapter 12: Survival Outside the City
The next morning, Shen Yi got an armed chariot out of nowhere and drove the trainees to the southern gate of the southern capital.
Nandu is one of the four major human security bases in Huaxia, and it is also the first few security bases to appear, a city of more than 1,000 square kilometers, surrounded by tall city walls, on which many patrolling soldiers stand and many giant cannons.
The same is true of the original Hengcheng, although the scale is much smaller than that of the south, but when the zombies want to attack the city, the tall city wall is as vulnerable as a fence for captive livestock.
Ning Qiu had seen with his own eyes how the giant zombie, which was nearly a hundred meters high, destroyed the city wall with one blow.
So, from then on, it was difficult for him to sleep soundly at night, because he didn't feel safe, even though the government of Nandu claimed how impregnable their walls were.
The city gate will not be opened because the students of the academy are going out to practice, because the city gate is too tall, as long as a small gap is opened, a hundred zombies can immediately pour in.
Therefore, a safe passage will be set up on the side of the gate, about five meters wide, like a tunnel.
When they left the city, all the students present were full of apprehension, although Shen Yi kept reassuring everyone.
Armed chariots are made of alloy steel, and as long as they don't have high-level zombies, it is generally difficult to chisel through the iron plates of the chariots.
As soon as you leave the city, through the small tempered glass windows, you can already see the zombies wandering outside the city, they are like walking corpses, moving outside aimlessly.
As soon as the chariot appeared, several zombies immediately rushed over, but they couldn't open the iron plate of the chariot.
"Teacher Shen Yi, where are we going?" Han Shiyu was relatively calm among several girls, after all, she was born in a big family, and it was not the first time she had seen zombies.
"Ten kilometers to the south, there is a deserted military fortress, the equipment there should be still usable, we will spend three days there." Shen Yi said.
"Three...... Three days! Many of the students' faces turned pale in an instant.
"And what do we eat and drink?" Li Zhen asked.
"There's a well there, and the water source isn't a problem." Shen Yi explained.
"What about eating?"
Shen Yi didn't answer this question, but all the students almost understood it in their hearts.
In addition to zombies outside the city, there are many corpse beasts, and due to genetic problems, these corpse beasts have been mutated, and they are different from zombies.
It is recorded in the survival science textbook of the middle grade that the meat of the corpse beast is edible, but the taste is ......
Of course, not all corpse beasts can be eaten, so finding edible corpse beasts outside the city is indeed a bit difficult for those of them who have just entered the senior year.
After about twenty minutes, we arrived at the abandoned military fortress.
The fortress is very large, and because it has not been cleaned for many years, it can be described as overgrown with weeds, and it still has the appearance of a military fortress.
The buildings on the periphery had almost collapsed, and only the innermost command center was still intact.
When they stepped into this land, everyone's hearts were lifted, and they kept looking around, fearing that there would be zombies.
Entering the command center, Shen Yi asked everyone to clean it first, after all, this place has been abandoned for I don't know how many years, and thick dust has piled up.
"Li Zhen, there is a well not far behind the command center, and you are responsible for fetching water."
"Zhao Nan, Pang Xiaobo, you two check the equipment here to see which ones are still useful."
"Ning Qiu, Sun Hou, you two go outside with me to control the wind. The rest of the students are responsible for cleaning and remember not to leave the building. ”
Shen Yi arranged the work, and everyone started to work, only Ning Qiu and Sun Hou did not look good.
"Teacher, cleaning is what I am best at, or I'd better stay." Ning Qiu said.
To put it bluntly, to go out and see if there are any zombies nearby, if there are, they will naturally be destroyed. It's a pity that Shen Yi ignored him at all, which made him depressed for a while.
Sun Hou is a wood awakener, and he has good talents, and his personality is relatively easy-going, and he is easy to get along with.
"Let's hurry up and keep up, don't get too far away from the teacher, in case the zombie will die." Sun Hou reminded.
"You just have that little bit of interest, and the young master of the zombie doesn't care about it at all." Ning Qiu said.
"Cut, what did you just do?" Sun Hou gave him a blank look.
"I'm really good at cleaning."
“……”
Generally speaking, this fort that has been abandoned for many years will not be infested with zombies, just in case, it is still necessary to check it.
Ning Qiu had already summoned the one-meter-six-long Horcrux, and Sun Hou was also pinching the wood-based ability and was always ready.
However, Ning Qiu then found that it was actually quite a good thing to follow Shen Yi's buttocks, at least he didn't have to work inside to suck dust, and he could also appreciate his proud figure, especially when he walked and twisted, his heart was crisp.
Taking the building of the command center as the central point, they walked around the vicinity of nearly two hundred meters, and there were no zombies or corpse beasts, and then they returned to the building with confidence.
And at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation not far away, and Shen Yi immediately ran over.
"What's wrong?"
I saw that Li Zhen, who was in charge of fetching water, had a large piece of wet clothes on his body, and he was sitting on the ground with his buttocks, and the bucket had been knocked over.
"Next...... Below. Li Zhen pointed to the well and shuddered.
Shen Yi frowned, then looked into the well, and saw a corpse python with thick small arms showing its head in the water, spitting out letters to the people above.
Ning Qiu also walked up to take a look, and then gave Li Zhen a strong contempt, and said: "It's just a corpse python, what is it called, it can't come up, look at your cowardice." ”
Li Zhen stood up a little embarrassed, and after a closer look, it was indeed just a very ordinary corpse.
"That'...... And this water ......"
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary corpse, it won't affect the water quality problem." Shen Yi pointed five fingers, and five slender fingers immediately shot out five transparent lines.
Her fingers moved slightly, and she saw that the corpse python was unbelievably rolled into a twist, and then raised her hand and pulled the corpse python out of the well.
"It's amazing." Ning Qiu sighed in his heart.
This is the ability of the puppet awakened, a small arm-thick, three-meter-long corpse in her hand, just like a doll.
After the corpse python was rolled into a twist, it couldn't move, but when she saw Shen Yiyan, she smiled and said, "Your lunch has been settled." ”
The three of them turned dark, looking at this extremely ugly corpse, where would they have an appetite.
"Wait, Teacher, you just said we had lunch, what about you?" Ning Qiu reacted immediately.
"My lunch is on the chariot." Shen Yi smiled.
"Teacher, you actually secretly brought a nutritious meal, how can you do this." Ning Qiu can see that this girl has no intention of sharing weal and woe with them at all, and it is estimated that she has brought a lot of drinking water.
Shen Yi said: "What is smuggling, I brought it openly." This is a practical experience for you, and I am only responsible for protecting your lives. ”
“……”
Back in the command center building, Li Zhen had already fetched a lot of water, part of which was used to clean up the indoor sanitation and some was left for drinking.
However, after the episode just now, no one wants to drink that water, as for those who have drunk it before, especially Pang Xiaobo, the fat man, who is vomiting wildly outside.
Late at night.
There are many small rooms in the basement of the command center, which have simple iron frame single beds, and you can still live in it after a little tidying up.
But by this time, everyone's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, and they hadn't eaten anything since they had eaten breakfast at the academy this morning.
At night, Pang Xiaobo had the idea of the corpse python, and he directly used the fire ability to roast the corpse python, but after taking a bite, the whole person was not good.
The food that even fat people can't swallow shows how unpalatable it is, and other students gave up this idea when they saw this.
