"Forty kilometers along the upstream of the river, there used to be a sand factory, and there should be some sand boats left, but more than ten years have passed, and I don't know if the boats can still be used." Mayor Lin pondered.

"You can also try it, as long as there is a ship, there is hope, even if it is broken, it can be repaired, right, Lao Zhao, you are a mechanic." Lin Erdao.

"I'm just a rough man playing with iron, you think I'm a fairy!" Zhao Tie snorted dissatisfiedly.

Mayor Lin persuaded: "It is related to the survival of the settlement, so Zhao Lao should worry more about it." ”

Lao Zhao sighed, pointed to his lower limbs and said, "I'm old, and it's inconvenient to move, can you not toss?" ”

"But if you don't go, no one will drive this ship back." Lin San took the opportunity to interject.

Lao Zhao's face turned red, and he seemed to be a little excited: "I can go, if Lao Tzu dies outside, no one can manipulate the defense system after going down to the city." ”

Lao Zhao released a killer move, and there was a stalemate in the field for a while.

At this time, Wang Qiang said: "Lao Zhao, if you need me to go, I can't get you to go out again." ”

Lao Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Qiangwa, how many lives do you have?" ”

Wang Qiang patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder and said, "This kind of thing, someone has to do it, in order to go down to the city, I am willing to go." ”

Lin San sneered: "Boy, you go and use a fart, what can you fix?" ”

Wang Qiang was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Mayor Lin played a round: "Forget it, Zhao Lao is the treasure of our lower city, we can't take risks, Wang Qiang, you and Lin Er go on a trip to see if you can find the boat." And then make a plan. ”

As soon as Mayor Lin said his word, the dust settled, and Lin Er decided that everyone would prepare for a day and set off the day after tomorrow.

After everyone left the mechanical room, Lao Zhao criticized Wang Qiang: "You have a few brushes, you want to be strong, you don't know how to die when the time comes." ”

Wang Qiang was relieved: "This matter is related to the safety of Xiacheng, and I have the responsibility to bear it, for you and for me as a settlement." ”

Lao Zhao sighed: "You have the same temper as your Lao Tzu, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have, go ahead, people like you can't repent if you don't die on the south wall." ”

Wang Qiang packed his luggage that night, and used the whole day to modify a large-caliber sniper rifle for himself, bringing a few rounds of Lao Zhao's special explosive rounds, Wang Qiang was full of confidence.

On the day of departure, Lao Zhao did not come to see him off, and Lin Er took more than a dozen city defense team members to load weapons and supplies on the armored locomotive in the military area.

In the last days, a little more preparation often leads to a little more hope.

Near noon, everything was ready, and Lin Er took more than ten of his men to share two Raptor armored locomotives and drove out of the Xiacheng base.

Wang Qiang has learned a little about this kind of combat armored vehicles equipped with the army in the old era in recent days. Ultra-thick armor, suitable for all kinds of terrain, including the driver, is limited to nine people, and can be crushed all the way in the face of ordinary zombies, which can be described as invincible.

However, the lower city has this kind of machinery, and it can't create too many advantageous environments, because the disadvantages of the heavily armored locomotive are extremely obvious, this thing is a complete oil tiger, there is not enough fuel, and it is impossible to drive such a steel beast.

Through the firing port on the locomotive, Wang Qiang looked at the grass and shrubs that were receding away outside, and Wang Qiang had not seen the wild for a long time. The outside world is just good, it's refreshing. Sitting on an armored locomotive, you don't have to worry about being attacked by an accident, as if before the end of the world, an ordinary road trip, the sun mixed with a faint smell of diesel mixed in the air, people can't help but want to be drowsy.

Lin Er sat next to Wang Qiang, looking at the map in his hand, looking up from time to time to confirm the direction. Lin Er, who was concentrating on his work, was a little less unruly, and a little more focused and serious.

Heavy armored locomotives are not fast, and they can only reach speeds of sixty kilometers per hour on excellent roads, and they are much slower on hilly terrain. Therefore, judging from Lin Er's calculations, it will take at least three to four hours to reach the destination under the premise of the correct direction. A safe and unmistakable round trip, it takes seven or eight hours to drive, plus searching the battlefield and repairing the boats, it is estimated that the team will not be able to return to the settlement today.

The armored locomotive jolted, deviated from the road, and headed for the place where the river was.

The site of the Xiacheng base was very advantageous, close to the three major transportation arteries of national highways, high-speed railways and rivers. After the end of the world, the scope of human activities has decreased sharply, the high-speed rail has been completely destroyed, and the national highway has only been cleared for more than ten years. As for the river, the Lower City has a special water purification device for extracting groundwater, and apart from the occasional trip to the river in search of food, the range of activities of the exploration team is rarely close to the river.

After the armored locomotive drove off the road, it gradually walked up the rugged mountain road, crossed between the low trees, and vaguely followed the direction of the river, upstream.

Suddenly, the armored locomotive shook violently, as if it had hit a giant mountain!

Lin Er clasped the armrest embedded in the roof of the car tightly with one hand, stood up with difficulty, and looked out through the lookout. Wang Qiang couldn't hold back the fear and curiosity in his heart, and secretly turned to look at the shooting port.

After being hit violently, the armored locomotive slows down slowly, gallops at high speed on steep terrain, and is then hit by external forces, which can easily lead to overturning.

The armored locomotive driving in front was warned, and it also stopped, turned its body sideways, and formed an angle with the armored car where Lin Er was, maintaining a vigilant posture.

There was a suppressed silence, thinking about what could it be in the field to knock the locomotive carrying nine people into a bump and almost overturn it? What else can there be besides rhinoceros, tigers, wild boars.

Lin Er turned sideways to the driver's seat, grabbed the communication device, and calmly contacted the other armored locomotive: "01 call 02, please answer if you receive it." ”

After a burst of current interference, a voice came from the communicator: "02 call 01, received a message, please instruct." ”

Lin Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Have you noticed anything abnormal?" ”

"Nothing unusual, please instruct."

Lin Er thought for a while and made an order: "Tell Liu Dehuang to open the base of the armored car, sneak out from under the car to see the situation, and prepare for each firing port." “

Then he turned around and shouted coldly into the car, "All in place, ready to fight." After speaking, Wang Qiang, who was blocking the shooting port, dragged away Wang Qiang, and put the weapon in his hand against the shooting channel.

Suppressed waiting, until a simple figure appeared in everyone's sight. Lin Er looked at this honest figure, and was moved in his heart, and praised it.

Only people like Dehuangwa would be so desperate and dedicate their lives to faith.

Liu Dehuang got up from the ground, helped the half-crooked individual tactical helmet, looked around in a daze, and then raised his gun and checked around the armored locomotive.

Suddenly, Liu Dehuang roared outside, Lin Er knew that it was not good, and hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun and found the location where Liu Dehuang screamed.

Liu Dehuang's burly body is not difficult to be locked, I saw Liu Dehuang holding a gun, looking at the side of the armored locomotive, with a surprised face, and his mouth was enough to swallow a big pear.

Lin Er opened his lookout and shouted angrily: "Liu Dehuang, what are you yelling at, grandma is a bear?" ”

Liu Dehuang shuddered for a while, the gun in his hand fell to the ground, he pointed to the armored car and said to Lin Er: "Second brother, come out and see Superman." ”

After confirming the safety in every possible way, Lin Er ordered someone to open the armored car door, jumped out of the armored car in one step, and walked to Liu Dehuang's position, Wang Qiang followed closely behind, wanting to see what was going on Superman.

I saw Lin Er stunned beside Liu Dehuang, and there were words in his mouth. Wang Qiang took a closer look and was immediately dumbfounded.

On the wall of the heavy armored car, there are still fragmented corpses, because the impact is too strong, these flesh and blood stick to the car, and they will not fall for a while and a half, which makes people look at it for a while.

What impressed Wang Qiang the most was that the zombie that crashed into the armored car was shattered, half of the complete head still retained the consciousness of activity, the incomplete upper and lower jaws with muscles and flesh were closed one by one, and the gray eyes were hanging outside the skull.

The captain of the other car also got out of the car and walked over, watching this scene, and exclaimed, how fast does this need to be to knock himself to pieces?

"This guy's speed isn't like an ordinary zombie, second brother." Xu Fei, the captain of the city defense team, said.

Lin Er looked at the zombies on the wall of the car, his face was cloudy. Suddenly, Lin Er raised his feet and landed on the mutilated half of the zombie's head like a thunderbolt. The texture of the military leather shoes is excellent, and the zombie heads are trampled to pieces.

Lin Er took out half a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit one leisurely, and said slowly: "No matter how fast this damn thing is, at least in terms of hardness, it is still so vulnerable." ”

"Dispose of the corpse, don't leave blood stains and smells, tidy up a little, let's continue to set off, and let's all shine a little brighter." After Lin Er finished his order, he turned around and returned to the car.

After a brief moment of alarm, the armored vehicle burst into action and continued its unfinished journey.

Lin Er continued to specialize in the map in front of him, Wang Qiang had nothing to do, and the ** of knowledge drove him to keep looking at the map in Lin Er's middle school, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Lin Er noticed Wang Qiang's probing eyes and was quite disdainful: "Do you want to see it?" Lin Er asked.

Wang Qiang nodded.

Lin Er beckoned Wang Qiang to come closer, pointed to a point on the map, and said, "We are here, and we are going here." Lin Er's fingers drew a short line with twists and turns.

Wang Qiang looked at Lin Er's fingers with a thoughtful look on his face.

Lin Eryi unfolded the map, pointed to a place on the other end, and said, "This map, you have to remember this place first, BJ, our former capital." ”

Wang Qiang read: "BJ? Capital? ”

"Yes, the capital, the center of a nation, BJ, was once the heart of our country." Lin Er preached.

"And now? Is it still our center? Wang Qiang asked

"BJ has fallen, there are thirty-six million zombies there, and there is not a single living person." Lin Er said.

"Then why do we remember it?"

"I said, why are you so stupid, you faithless guy." Lin Er roared angrily.

The armored vehicle roared forward, occasionally pushing into the trees that stood in front of it. Finally, shortly after noon, the convoy reached its destination.
