Chapter 90: The Ironclad Convoy
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Qiang frowned and asked.
The number of refugees is small, but from major cities in Tibet, a bad premonition appeared in Wang Qiang's heart.
"What else can happen, hey!" The middle-aged man said in broken Mandarin: "The zombies in the east have all poured onto the plateau, and now many settlements have been captured by zombies, and even the living can't escape, so it's lucky that we can run here." ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Wang Qiang trembled.
For a long time, Tibet has been protected from zombies because of its barren environment, remote geographical location and cold climate conditions, and the Tibetan Plateau is known as the last paradise of mankind. I just can't think of it...... Now even the Tibetan land is under attack by zombies!
Something is wrong!
Wang Qiang pondered, logically speaking, the zombies led by Oak should not have time to liquidate the human race, and their enemies should be aliens led by the god race, but why would the zombies raise an army to attack Tibet?
Wrong!
At this time, the old Tibetans who escaped from the Shigatse settlement spoke: "Now the Shigatse settlement has been destroyed by zombies, and the survivors who fled to the east have almost no way to live, and the people who fled to the Lhasa settlement are estimated to have no good end now. ”
Wang Qiang, the language of the old Tibetans, didn't understand it very well, but Wang Qiang, who got the translation of the middle-aged man from Angren, understood a general idea, and then looked at the fluctuations of everyone's expressions and emotions, Wang Qiang knew that this matter could not be faked.
Something happened!
Wang Qiang's heart trembled.
When he came from the Ferghana settlement, Wang Qiang already knew that there were no human settlements in the entire Central Asian region, only Ferghana, a land of cones, in the Middle East and Europe, where zombies were rampant. In order to find other survivors, the Ferghana settlement did not hesitate to send a large army to open up contact with the Tibetan plateau. The current situation is that the Tibetan plateau is also going to be lost...... Where will humanity go?
Wang Qiang squeezed his hand fiercely, and then thought of the Liang brothers and sisters who parted ways during the day, these two young people are afraid that they will be more auspicious.
After a few minutes of muttering, Wang Qiang immediately made a decision, temporarily giving up his plan to return to the Kyoto area, and decided to venture to the major settlements in Tibet to have a look, if there is any trouble, he can solve it himself, after all, as a human being, for the sake of the survival of his compatriots is something he must consider!
After making a plan, Wang Qiang confessed to the refugees in public: "If you want to flee west along this road, I still advise you to die of this heart, I came all the way from the west, I have not met a village with living people, and there is only one settlement in Uzbekistan in the whole of Central Asia, but the situation of that settlement is not good, and it will not be swept away by the zombies who have been active in Europe one day." ”
Wang Qiang's words were full of lethality, and many survivors' faces changed on the spot when they heard this, and some survivors who were not strong enough cried wow.
The back road has been broken, the road ahead is vast, and the survivors have no way out, so what can they do if they don't cry.
"What should we do?" The middle-aged man who had escaped from Ang Ren asked.
Wang Qiang thought for a while and said his thoughts: "I plan to walk along the Xin-Tibet Highway to Lhasa and go to the Lhasa settlement to see the situation. ”
As soon as Wang Qiang's words came out, everyone looked at Brother Qiang's face and felt wrong.
"Warrior, although you are brave, but you also have to be a little practical, this going east is definitely a dead end, there are so many zombies along the way, you can't kill them!" There are survivors who persuade.
"But I also told you, going west is still a dead end, you don't even have a place to look for food, even if you don't get eaten by zombies, you can only starve to death." Wang Qiang said.
The survivors gathered around the map and studied it for a while, and someone opened up to discuss: "Why don't we go to Kashgar, pass through Aksu, follow the Akha Expressway, enter the Tuyi Expressway, and finally go to Urumqi?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people immediately echoed it.
"That's it, we can't go to the west, we can go north!"
"That's right, go to the north, Aksu can't go, so we'll take a detour north to Issyk-Kul Lake, I know there must be survivors there."
"Yes, yes, yes! It's better to walk than to go back! ”
The survivors spoke out one after another, apparently unwilling to go east with Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang sighed, thinking that if all human beings were like this, they would only be extinct if they fled to the ends of the earth.
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Wang Qiang didn't want to bother talking anymore, so he said to the survivors: "Since we don't go by the way, this meal will be my reward for saving your lives, and tomorrow morning, we will go our separate ways." ”
As soon as Wang Qiang's words came out, the hearts of the survivors were cold again, there were wandering zombies along the way, and it was just a matter for his group to encounter sporadic ordinary zombies, but when they encountered powerful mutant zombies, they had to be chased and eaten all the way like just now.
At this time, the middle-aged man opened his mouth to persuade Wang Qiang again: "Warrior, although you have strong combat effectiveness, I am not afraid to tell you that there are millions of zombies besieging Lhasa, Shigatse and other areas, and it is useless for you to be strong alone!" ”
Others also persuaded: "That's it, it's better to run for your life with us, and there will be a response on the way!" ”
Wang Qiang looked at a pair of praying eyes, shook his head firmly, and said: "Originally, I didn't want to go to the settlements in Tibet, but there are difficulties in the local area, how can I avoid them because of misfortune and fortune?" Although there are tens of millions of zombies ahead, I will also go! I have made up my mind, so I don't want to persuade me anymore. ”
Saying that, Wang Qiang looked at the many survivors and teased: "It's you, who are bent on escaping, although the world is big, but if you let the zombies continue to rage like this, you will not end well in the end!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Qiang raised his voice: "Not only do you not have a good end, but everyone, all human beings will not have a good end!" ”
Wang Qiang's words were extremely tough, and the sentences were loud, which made the survivors tremble in their hearts.
At this time, one of the survivors stood up and said, "You're right, I think so too!" ”
When the young man stood up, an old man beside the young man pounced on him: "Idiot, are you going to die?" ”
The young man looked sad and said, "Daddy, don't stop me, my mother and Luoma are dead, but I have to endure humiliation and steal my life, it is better to live than to die!" ”
At this point, the young man patted Wang Qiang's chest and said, "I, Tashi Dorjee of Nanmulin, am willing to return to the Tibetan settlement with you, I can use Tibetan knives and drive, please teach me the skills of fighting!" ”
Tashi Dorjee's words caused several young people among the survivors to hesitate, and then a few more people stood up and said: "We are also willing to follow you back to Tibet, not asking for anything else, only to kill a few more zombies to avenge our relatives, even if we die, we have no regrets!"
"I'm going too, I'm going home, my mother's dead body hasn't been buried in the sky, which is intolerable to Changshengtian!"
"Me too, go back to support the settlement, live and die together!"
……
Early the next morning, the group of survivors split into two, and six men who were determined to return to the Tibetan settlements to fight followed Wang Qiang southeast along the Xin-Tibet line, while most of the remaining survivors stubbornly headed north. Looking at the team of survivors who were drifting away, Wang Qiang put away his emotions and began to face reality.
Among the six people who followed him, there were four Tibetans and two Han Chinese, and one of them was a Han girl.
Wang Qiang examined his followers and found that except for Da Pasang and Tashi Dorjee, who each had a Tibetan knife, the remaining four had no weapons.
"Okay, after Da Basang and Tashi Dorjee broke off, the others followed me, and we went east along the Xinzang line, and the top priority was to find a means of transportation first." After speaking, Brother Qiang took the lead and started to march.
The roads along the New Tibet Line were very well built, and during the Republican period, Tibetan independence elements often disobeyed the discipline of the central government, and riots broke out again and again. In view of this situation, in order to control the situation, the Republic did not save money on the transportation route to Tibet, so even after 30 years of maintenance, the roads along the Xin-Tibet line are still mostly intact.
There are often many abandoned locomotives and vehicles along the highway, and the bones of dead cattle and horses can be seen everywhere in the grassland by the roadside, which shows that the highway line is not peaceful.
Wang Qiang did not let go of any inspection of abandoned vehicles, and it didn't take long for the emperor to find some swords that could be left behind in the abandoned locomotive.
Crossing this line, there is no car in which the people do not carry weapons, which are necessities, life-saving equipment, so after death, the weapons left behind can be seen everywhere.
The sword he picked up briefly armed the six of his subordinates, and Wang Qiang was in a slightly better mood. Because of the habit of leading troops to fight in the early years, I always thought that it was not wrong to bring a few more people, but I didn't expect that these young people did not have a strong ability to survive, especially the girl named Liu Menglu It was difficult to take care of herself...... Brother Qiang began to regret it a little.
I shouldn't take such a few people on the road together, this is simply asking for trouble for myself!
Only now did Wang Qiang wake up to the fact that this Tibetan place is located in a corner, and the first twenty years are not much different from peacetime, so people's survivability has not been effectively cultivated, and the people here cannot be compared with the region where zombies fight all year round.
On the first night, Wang Qiang took six people to camp on the side of the highway, because of Wang Qiang's excellent ability to survive in the wild, Wang Qiang made a few simple traps around the camp, not seeking to be able to kill zombies, but to make a noise to remind himself, so there was still no danger at the end of the night.
The next day, however, trouble struck, and the small team ran out of food.
Wang Qiang was a little painful, except for Tashi Dorjee, none of these guys prepared food for themselves!
Helpless, Wang Qiang could only hunt in person.
Fortunately, there are traces of animal activities everywhere in the large open area of the Tibetan Plateau, and these animals are not persecuted by zombies, and there has been no excessive killing by humans over the years, but they have thrived on the plateau. No, Brother Qiang didn't spend much effort to catch a big Tibetan antelope and fly back.
The six people saw that Wang Qiang brought back food, but the mood is a strong stick, the Chinese take food as the sky, said that than food, the whole world is not the opponent of the Chinese, although the Tibetans are not visible among the many ethnic groups in Greater China, but there is also a set of cooking food.
No, as soon as the antelope came back, Wang Qiang threw his hand and handed it over to the six people to toss it around.
Disemboweled, Tashi Dorjee licked his mouth and played with the Tibetan knife in his hand, Wang Qiang looked at these six majestic foodies, and thought to himself how good it would be for Nima to cut zombies in this state.
"The Tibetan antelope is a nationally protected animal and an endangered species. Li Yongjun, a Han boy, said while watching Tashi Dorjee open the lamb's belly and dig out the water.
The rough man Da Basang opened his mouth and scolded: "Fuck your eggs, it's still an endangered species, do you know that Lao Tzu is an endangered species?" I'll bet you that there are more Tibetan antelopes than Tibetan people these days. ”
Li Yongjun chattered, embarrassed to say anything.
Wang Qiang glanced at everyone, didn't bother to care about these guys, and simply found an abandoned locomotive to lie down and bask in the sun. Now Brother Qiang understands that except for the two Tibetan boys, Tashi Dorjee and Da Basang, who are wholeheartedly planning to rescue the settlement with him, the remaining four guys have other ideas.
For example, the chick named Liu Menglu, her boyfriend is in the Lhasa settlement, she is in a hurry to meet, think about the fact that the settlement in Lhasa is not more, no less, and there are thousands of miles away from her, love is really dizzying.
Look at that Li Yongjun again, this thing is a nerd, as a researcher of the cultural and historical research center established in the Lhasa settlement, he was inexplicably stranded in the Japanese land area, and was attacked by zombies, the settlement was all over, and he also ran for his life and met himself, this is to take the opportunity to go back......
These two guys took a hand by themselves, so they sensed their brains and knew their deep-seated thoughts, so Brother Qiang was in pain.
Forget it, good people will go all the way to the end, and they will take them to the Lhasa settlement along the way.
Unexpectedly, just when a few people opened the fire to roast the fat sheep, there was a black pressure on the east road! Black smoke seemed to rise from the ground and crush along the horizon.
Wang Qiang was able to stand up on the abandoned vehicle, suddenly observed the situation in front of him, and found that a convoy was rushing towards him at a fast speed, followed by a large number of zombies under black pressure!
"Zombies!" Wang Qiang let out a loud shout.
Immediately, several people who were discussing roast sheep were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Wang Qiang.
"Find a place to hide, over there, under the scrapped car." Wang Qiang pointed out the maze.
There are thousands of zombies in front of them, and they are like a black cloud, coming with a convoy, and they can't be shaken off.
Wang Qiang's eyesight is excellent, and he observes from a distance, and finds that the chased convoy is not an ordinary cargo!
In terms of proportion, the volume of these locomotives is huge, Wang Qiang has traveled all over the country, such a large locomotive has not been seen, this time it is a long experience!
Each locomotive is at least dozens of meters long and seven or eight meters wide, which is even bigger than the train I saw in Dragon City! The huge locomotive is completely out of Brother Qiang's cognition, and the locomotive is all made of iron sheets, and the steel plates are reinforced all over the body, and a large number of square steel blocks are alive, if it weren't for these steel blocks running fast, Wang Qiang really didn't believe that such a tonnage locomotive could run.
The steel armored locomotive did not blindly escape, and after a short observation, Wang Qiang saw that there were many soldiers wearing robes and holding guns standing on each locomotive, and these soldiers were attacking the zombies with the help of the gap in the locomotive's speed.
There are a lot of mutated speed zombies chasing behind the locomotive, they run with all their strength to see if they can catch up with the locomotive, but the end of catching up with the locomotive is not good, and the soldiers who have been waiting on the locomotive have raised their long knives to slash and kill the zombies.
Although these zombies have an advantage in speed, they are in a position where they can't borrow strength up and down when facing the sharp hidden knives, so most of the zombies were hacked to death by the soldiers and fell under the car as soon as they stepped on the roof of the locomotive.
The locomotives sometimes gather and sometimes separate, change the formation from time to time alternately cover, the huge locomotive explosion-proof shock-absorbing tires blessing, the locomotive on any road surface is like walking on the ground, even if not taking the road only on the surrounding plateau mud can still be vigorous.
With the help of the changes in the car formation, the soldiers on the locomotive fought alternately and covered alternately, and even suppressed the zombie tide behind them for a long time, causing huge damage to the zombies.
"Well, these guys are very organized." Wang Qiang looked at the group of locomotives speeding and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
This way of fighting is simply unheard of and unseen in Brother Qiang's opinion, and it is really a long experience.
"It's ...... Ironclad Fleet! How did they end up here? Behind him, Tashi Dorjee dealt with him incredibly.
"Ironclad convoy? What is it? Wang Qiang asked.
Tashi Dorjee said: "The ironclad convoy is the most powerful armed force in the Lhasa settlement, and it has always been a war machine in the hands of the monks and the great masters. The ironclad convoy is composed of a large number of special ironclad cars, these ironclad cities are covered with alloy iron, which can be invulnerable and can prevent the attack of zombies, and the driving of these ironclad locomotives must be the most powerful warrior monks under the monk king. ”
Wang Qiang nodded and sighed: "In these years, the monks have such a powerful armed force, it's not simple. ”
This is Li Yongjun also drilled out and said: "During the Republic, the central government had strong control over Tibet, and there were two group armies stationed in Lhasa all the year round, and the living Buddha would definitely not dare to have any ideas. But after the end of the world, the power of the republic collapsed, and after the collapse, there was a situation in which several giants competed in Tibet, and even the army loyal to the republic was also divided into pieces and reorganized in the previous battles, but this battle was ultimately won by the living Buddha. ”
