Chapter 174, everything is unknown
It's dawn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was a late autumn morning, and it was dawn, but there was no sun, only a lead-gray sky, and even the clouds in the sky were lead-gray, and it was depressing to look up.
I remember in the middle of summer, in the city of Time, early in the morning, earlier than now, the sun was already scorching the earth, and the sunlight seemed to be able to bake the concrete floor, and the naked eye could see the steaming heat. It was like the weather was still like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the wind blowing under the gloomy sky was a bit biting. This contrast made me wonder if I really had such a hot summer, or if I did, how I hadn't been roasted.
And now, the lead-gray sky and the thick clouds made it a little hard for me to tell if it was dawn or dusk, and I was almost certain that it would be like this for the rest of the day. Maybe it will be like this for many days to come, and there is no hope.
I prefer that kind of summer to the present, because there is sunshine after all.
I've been to this city before, it's a heavily polluted industrial city, the whole city is surrounded by mines, and the whole city is full of all kinds of factories inside and out, strictly speaking, it's not a city, it's a huge factory area. At that time, I was still running business in an insurance company, and the company sent people here on a business trip, and no one wanted to come, saying that it was a lottery, but they cheated and threw me over. I remember that the sky of the city was so gray at that time, the city buildings were actually quite modern, there were many high-rise buildings and overpasses, as a prefecture-level city also had its own rail transit, the urban layout was relatively open, and the bird's-eye view was square, just like a computer motherboard. At that time, I felt that the city was very high-tech, but the environment was poor and there was little greenery.
It is said that the Xingqing Municipal Government has also made great efforts, and a lot of various plants with tenacious vitality have been planted, but those plants just don't grow well, and they will gradually die after a long time. I came to Xingqing City for a week on a business trip, and the water that washed my hair every day was black.
In addition to the poor environment, what impressed me the most at the time was that the people in this city were fierce, two good-looking middle school girls were negotiating in the park, and I was munching bread on the bench next to them, and before I could hear what they were talking about, they were already fighting. And one clapped brick, and the other had an iron pipe hidden in the other bag. I ran out to call the police, and when I met a patrolman, he indiscriminately reprimanded me, asked me why I didn't stop them first, and threatened me that if something happened, the big deal would be mine. At that time, I was scared to the point that I took a taxi to the airport, and I wanted to save money and take the train back.
Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I hope that the strong folk customs of this city will make more of them survive, but I don't want to meet the survivors of this city, otherwise we will fight if we don't agree, and there will be nowhere to talk about it.
At this time, I will return to this city, the city will still be that city, but what will I see?
Are there any survivors in the city? How many? I do not know.
Li Di said that Xingqing City was incorporated into the Ninth War Zone after the disaster broke out, and that a unit had previously fought in the war zone but later lost contact. As a matter of fact, with our army's current communications technology and the fact that it has not been subjected to any electromagnetic attacks, there is absolutely no reason for us to lose contact, and even if the communications facilities are damaged, even our small detachment will be able to get in touch with military satellites, and it is impossible for a regular army to solve such a problem. Therefore, there is the most possible possibility that this so-called lost force has actually been destroyed. I asked Li Di what kind of size this unit is, but she is not very clear, after all, she was originally a policeman, and as a soldier, she can be said to be a halfway monk, and this side belongs to another war zone, and she has been isolated from news for several months. She can only speculate according to the establishment of our 11th theater, Xingqing City originally had a military subdivision, stationed a reserve infantry division and a reserve artillery regiment, but in peacetime, these troops are more of a skeleton, I don't know how many reserve troops were mobilized by the Xingqing City Military Subdivision after the disaster, even if they reacted quickly at that time, the troops of the reserve infantry division and artillery regiment were urgently mobilized to full capacity, which added up to more than 10,000 troops, supporting less than 20,000 troops.
How many zombies are there in Xingqing City?
Xingqing is a large prefecture-level city at the junction of several provinces, with a permanent population of 2 million, and according to what we have learned before, the airborne virus has a 30% infection rate, and 20% is infected by contact, which means that there will be 1 million zombies in Xingqing City. 20,000 against 1 million, if you make full use of modern weapons, such as tanks, long-range artillery, helicopter gunships, and even the rocket force that coordinates the air force, it may not be impossible to destroy these 1 million zombies.
As far as I know, at the beginning of the disaster, the command of governments at all levels, including the military, was very chaotic.
Is it based on attack, with the fastest reaction speed, to carry out large-scale strikes on zombies, and even at the expense of some scattered survivors, clearing the scene one area after another? Or will it be a defense-based, limited strike, rescuing survivors while building a survivor base while waiting for scientists to find a solution? Since then, the United Nations and governments have explicitly adopted the latter option, as scientists have announced that they have developed new agents that can control zombies, and the treatment of zombies (which scientists call "infected") has passed countless theoretical calculations and deductions, and has entered the experimental operation stage.
In such a context, the 20,000 garrisons in Xingqing City were completely devoured by 1 million zombies, not impossible, but very possible. The point is that these 20,000 troops are calculated by us, and we don't know if there are actually so many.
Going back to the beginning of the disaster, I think it is very unlikely that the Xingqing City Military Sub-district will quickly assemble 20,000 troops.
First, this disaster broke out very suddenly, and the whole world was almost completely unprepared, and the leaders of Xingqing City, including the leaders of the military sub-districts, could also be infected in the first wave of the spread of the virus, and the scene of blood flying and zombies everywhere in the city hall was conceivable, and the same was true for the military sub-districts. So far, we don't know why some people are infected, some people are not infected, maybe it is related to physical fitness, but there are also individuals with weak physique among the survivors, including more than 4-year-old children like Cheng Qingyang and Cheng Qingqing sisters, although we rarely meet survivors with very weak physique, but this shows that there is no absolute relationship between infection and physique. It is unknown how many of our hypothetical 20,000 reserve soldiers will be mobilized smoothly.
Maybe less than half.
The second is that the outbreak of the virus does not distinguish between place and time, and the virus has an incubation period, it is possible that after a force is finally assembled, it will suddenly break out and mutate within the army, and this kind of blow from the inside is undoubtedly greater than the loss of zombies in the face of the army. There are cases of this situation, and many units under the 11th Theater have had similar situations, such as a soldier in a moving infantry chariot, and suddenly there is a soldier disease, and the infantry chariot may be scrapped entirely.
Although the cause and probability of virus infection have not yet been determined, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the field troops has ensured to the greatest extent that they have not been infected in the first wave of virus spread, and their combat quality, weapons and equipment, and garrisons far away from the downtown area have also ensured their survival rate to the greatest extent. It also enables the field troops to operate and fight in a formed manner after the disaster, and on this basis, they can absorb and supplement selected combatants, such as police elites like Li Di and others, armed police special police, and so on, and finally form a virtuous circle.
These are just speculations on the part of me and my small team, but Li Di also has a lot of evidence that the preservation and operation of the military after the disaster broke out is roughly consistent with our speculation, so we now speculate that there are no formed troops in Xingqing City, and this speculation is also very likely to be true. But the thought of us passing through such a place makes each of us feel tense all over.
We come out of one city, we go from one city to another, from one purgatory to another, and we know what we are about to face, but we don't know if there is anything else we are facing.
Everything is unknown.
If the scientists' new preparation is really useful, I hope that at least the city has already put the new preparation, and the movement of zombies is somewhat restricted. The new preparation is time-sensitive, and within 8 hours the zombie will be completely unconscious, and after the effect of the drug has passed, the zombie will be slower than the original.
I've always been resistant to this new formula, but at this time, I still wish the city had already put this kind of thing.
But no matter what, we're here, and there's no way back. Because of the way we walked, we could think, and so could our enemies, that perhaps at this time they were chasing us along the wheel prints we had left behind, or that they were already a few kilometres behind us.
We drove out of the river from the old wharf in the southern part of Xingqing City, where there was a staircase that stretched into the riverbed, and it was still raining in the sky. The rain in this city is different from that of the city, although it is in late autumn, it is not the kind of rain that flies silently, but crackling, eager, the raindrops are like a layer of ice, hitting the roof of the car with an extra sound, and a stream of cold air is accompanied by those splashing raindrops, that kind of cold, suddenly let me understand what it means to "shudder".
And the sky was even darker because of the rain, and it was almost like night.
What's even more bizarre is that the city's traffic lights are still on. (To be continued.) )
