Chapter 5 Conflict
Wang Qiang grinned and got up from the ground, it turned out that he had a dream. Lu Ming's appearance in the dream is really terrifying, and people are in a cold sweat when they recall it.
After climbing the tree again, packing up the tent equipment and other items, Wang Qiang set out on the road back to the settlement. Passing through the place where he had marked, under the big tree, a bag of vegetables and fruits was still there, proving that no one was passing by.
But the careful Wang Qiang found unusual clues. Clumps of knee-high grass were trampled, waist-high shrubs were also trampled, and there were marks of footsteps everywhere.
It is important to know that there is always a potential threat in the wild bushes, and there are people who will use tools to make temporary paths for teammates behind them to walk in the wilderness.
And there are messy marks in the bushes on both sides of this temporary road, as if they have been stepped on by a crowd. Wild explorations are often afraid of the possible dangers hidden in the wild bushes and grasses, such as poisonous snakes, spiders, etc. Ordinary people would never leave the road untouched and walk those shrubs that are higher than their waists.
Well, with such messy steps, there is only one possibility on the way back to the base. Wang Qiang's face was pale, and he remembered the zombie tide that he had encountered once or twice a year in the past.
Yes, large hordes of zombies migrated en masse. In the face of such a wave of loss, the average small and medium-sized settlement is vulnerable to extinction.
In the past, there were always many wild scavengers from other settlements in this forest, but in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer strangers, which also shows that many settlements are gradually dying out under the harsh living environment.
Wang Qiang held the military blade he got from Lu Ming in his hand and walked slowly while observing vigilantly.
Generally speaking, the migration of zombies is irregular, and it is purely a collective blind movement. However, once the outside world stimulates the process of migration, the tide of loss will rush up. The so-called external stimuli are nothing more than human breath and blood stains, and the zombie's keen sense of smell can make the hound willing to bow down.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiang looked at his wounded leg that was tightly wrapped and covered by zombie skin, zombies generally do not have an appetite for their own kind, and using zombie organs to cover up their breath is also an effective way for humans to close the zombies' strong tracking ability.
When Wang Qiang groped his way to the Xiacheng settlement, a big battle was in full swing in the Xiacheng settlement.
The Lower City, as the name suggests, is an underground city with an entrance perched on a small hill.
This small hill was surrounded by thousands of zombies at this time, and on top of the hillock, in a defense line built by a temporary bunker, more than a dozen soldiers were confronting the zombies.
The second squad of the city defense team was ordered to be on duty today, and the squad leader Liu Dehuang was using a machine gun to shoot at the zombies, and the zombies poured a large piece like an ear of wheat harvested by a sickle, and the body hit by the bullet threw out a cloud of dirty black blood.
Next to Liu Dehuang, Lin Erzheng, the leader of the Xiacheng City Defense Team, personally sat down. Today, Lin Er inspected the outer defense line of the settlement, and he didn't want to encounter the invasion of the zombie tide, and after urgently activating the state of combat readiness, the battle between humans and corpses broke out without greeting.
The outer defense line of the lower city is mostly used for vigilance, targeting wild wanderers with crazy hostility, but in front of zombies, this fragile defense line is simply not enough.
Sure enough, no matter how strong the firepower of the second squad of more than ten people is, it still can't stop the crazy advance of thousands of zombies, and the front line is in turmoil.
Lin Er lit a crude tobacco, and smoked non-stop on the front line, today Lin Er came to inspect, purely to listen to Hu Kaiqing's old thing suspicious and suspicious to say some mysterious words, what bullshit sixth sense, what bullshit intuition, Lin Er never believed in this evil, so he personally came to the position to stare at it.
I don't want to really encounter the tide of zombies, and now I can't retreat, Lin Er can only supervise the battle. hated that he was completely in the mentality of watching the excitement and didn't bring any weapons, but as a result, others were hot, and Captain Lin Er could only smoke a big cigarette on the battlefield.
Lin Er raised his triangular eyes and glanced at the zombies under the mound, his face full of contempt.
"How can the dog say that he has not come to support, grandma is a bear, a group of cowards." Lin Er looked at the group of zombies that advanced under the low wall, and he was furious.
Just as the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the mound guarded by the city defense team suddenly shook violently, and then the mound rumbled and cracked through it, and a gate towered obliquely. The gate is about ** meters wide and very high. The alloy door is tilted underground, and there is a tunnel diagonally downward that connects to the back of the iron gate.
Lin Er and more than a dozen city defense team members seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and grabbed the bunker on the mound, which was very firmly built and was not affected by anything.
The zombies who came up from the siege were not so lucky, and they were affected by the abrupt tilt, and they rolled down like winter melons. The zombies that followed behind were squeezed by the zombies rolling down in front, and the bowling ball generally had a chain reaction, hitting one strike after another. The front built by the low wall had a brief respite for a while.
As soon as the alloy gate appeared, the door opened. The inside of the gate roared continuously, when the first era of the Raptor armored locomotive rushed out, bison generally rushed into the zombie herd, the armored locomotive was inlaid with a large number of cold weapons, horizontal and vertical welded large and small dozens of knives, guns and sticks, this is the hand-to-hand combat armored vehicle independently developed by the settlement of Xiacheng.
The era Raptor armored car is an armored locomotive in service in the old republic, and now as soon as it appears, it has attracted the attention of most of the zombies, and these zombies have stretched out their claws and flocked to the armored car, which has the momentum of tearing the locomotive apart.
However, the poor physique of the first generation of zombies was vulnerable in the face of high-strength alloy armor, and the raptors of the times slammed the accelerator and rushed towards the zombie group. Like eggs hitting stones, a large number of zombies were chopped into pieces of flesh by the loaded weapons on the armored vehicle, and dark red blood soon smeared the body of the armored vehicle.
The zombies didn't know what morale was, and the tragic death of their kind couldn't dampen their enthusiasm at all, and the rendering of blood only encouraged their madness. All of a sudden, almost all the zombies ran after the armored car, and the armored car was not ambiguous, just drilled into the place where the zombies were most concentrated, and there were countless stumps and broken arms wherever they passed.
Lin Er couldn't enjoy it, at this time, the second armored car was fired in the corridor, the armored car stopped not far from the door, the rear hatch was opened, and several heavily armed city defense soldiers jumped out of the car.
"Captain, your weapon." A soldier handed Lin Er a huge barrel of a gun, and he pushed a portable ammunition cart.
The twenty-four-barrel machine gun produced by the Republican ** industrial giant Times Company imitating Gatling, named Times Gatling, is a commemorative version of the weapon produced in tribute to World War I and World War II, referred to as 3000, which is Lin Er's royal weapon.
Lin Er threw away the cigarette butt, laughed, rubbed his hands together, and said yes in a loud voice.
Raising Gatling across his chest, Lin Er, who was like a black bear, jumped on the low wall with a big gun, and as soon as he twisted the trigger, Gatling sprayed out electric fire, and the bullets were as dense as a rainstorm, weaving a net of firepower, which fell overwhelmingly on the zombies.
Where are these zombies under the heavy fire machine guns, they have been beaten to pieces. Lin Er was so unhappy, there was nothing more than this to fight the monster, what a cool word, Lin Er's laughter resounded in the air.
"Enough, you idiot, do you need me to stress the preciousness of bullets again?" A voice scolded.
The sound was not loud, but it could reach Lin Er's ears, no matter how loud the roaring machine gun was. Lin Er's black bear-like body was instantly furious, he turned his head to look at the reprimand, his fierce triangular eyes widened, and the green tendons on his forehead instantly became hideous.
"Old man Hu, you say it again, believe it or not, I'll beat you to scum!" Lin Er raised the big gun in his hand and pointed it at Hu Kaiqing who came out of the base.
Hu Kaiqing was not to be outdone, his white eyebrows were twisted, and the long knife in his hand gestured: "I dare to guarantee that before you shoot, the stupid Gatling like you will turn into a pile of broken copper and iron." ”
Lin Er's pupils shrank, as if he thought of some unpleasant past, and his face was gloomy and about to wipe out the water.
"Made, the brother of the city defense team has targeted this old immortal for me, I want to see how capable you are." Lin Er drank loudly, and more than a dozen city defense teams around him instantly obeyed the order, and the zombies stopped fighting, and turned their guns to Hu Kaiqing.
A wind flashed, and before everyone could see it, Hu Kaiqing had already floated in front of Lin Er, locking Lin Er's pipa bone with one hand, and flipping it lightly with the other hand, and the long knife was against Lin Er's throat.
It's all in the lightning, and the soldiers of the city defense team haven't had time to react to what's going on. You must know that Captain Lin's fighting skills are among the top five in the settlement, so how could he be easily taken down?
How is this good, how is it good?
The newcomers to the city defense team may not know the legend of Hu Kaiqing, but Daddy Hu is well-known among the older generation of Xiacheng residents.
But the younger generation of city defense members don't know this, the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun comes and goes, and the big guy has long seen that the leader of the exploration team is not pleasing to the eye, and the fire is in front of him.
At this time, Hu Kaiqing was still powerful, he shook the knife edge, and a trace of blood appeared in Lin Er's throat, and Father Hu shouted: "Put down your weapons, otherwise your head will die, you just try it, I will count three times, if you don't put down your weapons, I will let him die first." ”
Lin Er's face was full of black air, the eye-catching scar turned purple-red, and a pair of triangular eyes were cloudy.
"One...... Two. When Hu Kaiqing was about to shout three, Lin Er spoke in time:
"Hey, hey, Daddy Hu's majesty has not diminished, and he has something to say."
He spoke to Hu Kaiqing with admiration, and roared angrily at his subordinates: "You stupid pigs, don't you put down your guns quickly, put them down." ”
Everyone who was undecided put down their guns and surrendered, but there was also a tough guy who was unmoved by the gun, this person was none other than Lin Er's squad leader and bodyguard Liu Dehuang.
At this time, Liu Dehuang was thinking about life with a gun.
Seeing this, Lin Er's head was big for a while, and he roared: ", Liu Dehuang, why are you still pointing a gun at me, do you want to kill me?" Ge Laozi threw away the gun, threw it away! ”
As Lin Er's most loyal horse boy, Liu Dehuang has always referred to where to fight. Even if Lin Er instructed him to go and talk to Hu Kaiqing, he wouldn't say a word, just flicked his arm, although every time he was beaten into a bear.
In Lin Er's mind, Dehuang's baby is good at everything, both honest and down-to-earth, hard-working, hard-working, and never asks for improved treatment, nor does he gang up with others to dismantle his own platform, so in Lin Er's eyes, Dehuangwa's whole body is an advantage.
Of course, people are not perfect, if you really want to say that Dehuangwa has any shortcomings, the only drawback is that her brain is a little bad.
In fact, the conflict that day, according to Liu Dehuang himself, recalled: "I was thinking about what to eat at noon with a gun, and suddenly found out why the second brother asked me to put down the gun and shoot him to death?" Why, why? Do I put down my gun or do I shoot? ”
It's a pity that Liu Dehuang is very annoyed by the IQ analysis of such a large amount of information with the IQ that three plus five can equal two, and I was unconsciously distracted when I thought about it, and I thought about what to eat at noon today.
Dehuang is a good boy, he thought about what to eat at noon for a while, and remembered that the second brother said to put down the gun eight times, said to throw the gun away six times, and said that he was killed only once, it seems that the second brother is more inclined to put down the gun, Liu Dehuang thought about such a big thing, his IQ had a qualitative leap, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, so he simply disarmed and surrendered.
Lin Er was scared into a cold sweat, just after a slip of the tongue, he almost got into trouble, but fortunately, Dehuangwa was clever and didn't drop the chain at a critical time.
