Chapter 190: Project Locust
On the ditch built by Yang Yi, they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, and when the rest time arrived, they all threw away the tools in their hands, and walked directly into the dirt like a dead dog, not even wanting to move, now they just want to sleep well.
It was already close to dawn, and the hazy light pierced the darkness.
From nine o'clock in the evening, it was an all-nighter, even the iron man couldn't support it, and now they were tired and sleepy, and they couldn't wait to close their eyes immediately and sleep to death.
But they didn't dare, the patrol was eyeing not far away, as long as they found someone asleep, they would immediately be whipped over, and that feeling was absolutely immortal. If you are drawn by this kind of mountain white vine, the tissues under the skin will become congested and will not disappear for several days.
Many people would rather be cut up than be drawn by this white vine.
However, many people are already unable to move, and in their minds, even if they take the white vine pump, they don't get up, they just sleep here.
Yang also controlled the clone to withdraw more than ten kilometers from the settlement, and this was to find a pit in a forest and hide the clone inside. It's covered with wild grass, so you don't have to worry too much about being discovered by other zombies. Anyway, after the consciousness is withdrawn, the coercion of the evolution zombie of the clone will disappear, just like a dead thing.
Out of the headquarters, compared to others, Yang Yi's spirit is much better, and his consciousness has a kind of effect of closing his eyes and recuperating his mind.
The hazy light was getting stronger and stronger, and when I looked at the time, it was already half past five.
In July, the morning usually comes very early, and the sun will rise between half past six and seven o'clock.
From this hill, you can see that the ditch below is full of people, like sun-dried turnips, and it is very messy. Even faintly, bursts of nasal voices can be heard, which is a person who is extremely tired, and has already entered the dream fragrance.
The ditch full of people already has a certain prototype, and the progress of an all-night is basically within the scope of Yang Yi's plan.
At a glance, this ditch similar to the Grand Canal directly marks a long mark on the earth, and there is no edge to be seen.
"Let them rest for three hours, inform the rear to bring enough rice and boiling water in three hours." Many things can't be rushed too quickly, and if it's only the first day of such intensity, there will definitely be dissatisfaction in the hearts of many people, and if they don't sleep again, it will definitely cause a riot.
Yang also knows that only when they know that they are racing against time and fighting for space for their own survival, they will work willingly, even if they are tired and do not sleep for a day or two, they will not complain.
But not now, they won't believe the severity of the matter without ironclad evidence.
The team sent out to guard has been operating twenty kilometers away from Dongju Lake, in order to grasp the movements in the vicinity, and at the same time, it will also take a guiding role.
There were quite a few people rushing out yesterday evening, many of them on foot, and the time should be almost there.
The whole construction site was quiet, except for a few people who were on guard, all of them were asleep.
When the sun came out, the vigilant team ahead came back with news that the survivors had escaped from the settlement. Although the number is not large, only a few hundred, it shows that there are still many people who will come towards Dongjuhu.
The composition of these people is somewhat complex, and there are people who belong to various teams.
Yang Yi is happy on the contrary, this kind of separated team is the easiest to compile, so that he can spend a lot less effort in this aspect.
In addition, now is the time when a huge number of people are needed, and the more people come, the greater the progress of the project.
By noon, the whole ditch was started again, and the scene of tens of thousands of people starting work together was indeed huge, like ants, just lined up in a row, and there was no end in sight.
Thousands of shovels were finally delivered, which accelerated the project process a lot.
At noon, survivors arrived one after another, sometimes more than a thousand, sometimes only a few people, all of them had come here after a night and a half day of hiking, and one by one they looked in low spirits, almost lying down, and their spirits were very poor.
Today, these people can't be used, and Yang can only appease them and let them rest.
There are a number of villages scattered around the lake, and less than ten kilometers to the north, there is a small town.
Yang also proposed the locust plan, which was entrusted to Yang Honghua, who led hundreds of people to drive cars to sweep these villages and towns, and bring back everything that could be used. Among them, the most needed is cement and other building materials.
The high wall of the settlement, I saw its power last night, almost blocked the zombies, and the effect was huge, more prominent than the ditch.
Yang Honghua, who received the task, did not hesitate and set off with people.
The village had been plundered by the survivors for a long time, and there was definitely no food left, but there was still much to use. For example, some bedding, buckets, shovels and hoes are all things that are in short supply at the moment. When they came out, they brought only food, weapons, and fuel, like daily necessities, but they didn't have any.
Yang Honghua's task is to bring back everything that can be brought back.
The core of the locust plan is that there is no grass left behind wherever it passes.
With the sub-control method, Yang Yi's consciousness switches back and forth, controlling every move in the settlement.
Since last night's attack, the zombie horde has fallen silent again, and the evolved zombies seem to have disappeared, and they are almost nowhere to be seen. The entire zombie group stretches for dozens of square kilometers, and it is also a little difficult for Yang to find the traces of the evolved zombies.
The zombies under the fierce cry are just surging, and the stimulation of blood does not need to be driven away, they are also nailed here.
The soldiers on the wall have experienced a night and half a day, and they have long been numb to the zombies below, and only occasionally can they hear one or two gunshots, which is a boring soldier making fun of the zombies below. The existence of the high wall almost makes the zombies helpless.
After staying up all night, some people had already gone down the high wall and went to rest.
After all, people who have struggled in the last days have long been accustomed to zombies, and at the beginning they were only affected by millions of zombies, so they were a little out of control and panicked. Now one night is enough time for them to accept this fact and calm down.
Most of the people in the settlement are made up of people from various teams, and that one hasn't been torn apart with zombies?
The clone was more than ten kilometers away from the settlement, and the tall figure lurked among the zombies, which was somewhat conspicuous. It's just that it's too far away from the settlement, and even with a telescope, it's extremely difficult to find the existence of a clone. Dressed in metal armor, he is definitely an alien existence in the zombie group.
Calmly below, Yang Yi knew that it was definitely not so simple.
Consciousness returned to the ontology, Yang also asked people to speed up the progress of the project, and more than 10,000 people were sweating and digging like rain.
With a buffer of time, Yang Honghua's hands and feet are not slow, but after going for more than an hour, he used heavy trucks to transport back several stackers and excavators, which are purchased by people in many rural areas for rental.
The arrival of bulldozers and excavators, this is definitely a charcoal in the snow, with a few bulldozers, I don't know how much faster the efficiency, a bulldozer can at least withstand the workload of hundreds of people.
In the afternoon, the entire five-kilometer-long ditch was basically completed, and the next step was to deepen and reinforce.
In the rear, a large number of trees were cut down and carried to the edge of the lake to dry.
Yang Honghua mobilized some women and children to gather all the usable timber in the vicinity to the lake, like some houses that are still wooden structures, and directly demolished them. Dry wood is much better than freshly cut trees, and the buoyancy will be greater.
The old people are basically responsible for using ropes or rattan to hold these wooden sections in place, connecting them into huge wooden rafts that float in the water.
Wooden rafts like this one are connected and spread all over the surface of the lake, which is very spectacular.
On some of the wooden rafts that have been tied, important things begin to move to the wooden rafts, and if there is any danger, they can leave the lake at any time and row towards the center of the lake.
As the number of people increased, distribution began, some of them built gaps between hills, and some of them began to look for edible things on the edge of the lake. Yang Yibi needs to plan well for the next food, and take advantage of the arrival of the zombies, there is still some time, to find more food.
On the shore of Dongju Lake, there are many aquatic plants, and some of these aquatic plants are edible.
The women's job is to collect these edible plants, process them, and when they are brought to the dinner table, they become wild vegetables. For those who haven't eaten vegetables in a long time, it's absolutely delicious.
Occasionally, some large shellfish are caught, which of course belong to the upper classes.
Fresh fish, which was previously impossible to eat, can now be eaten occasionally. Although the meat is scarce, and they can only eat a little bit of each meal, it makes Wang Meng and them very emotional, for those who have seven or eight out of ten meals of rice, it is definitely a heavenly enjoyment now.
If it weren't for the urgency of time now, Wang Meng and the others would all think, should they send someone to fish this Dongju Lake and improve the quality of life?
The ditch was built early the next morning, 10 meters wide, 6 meters deep, and 5.5 kilometers long.
This is definitely a huge project, almost 24 hours a day, and more than 10,000 people have been invested to complete it in two days. According to Yang Yi's calculations, this ditch alone can at least require tens of thousands of zombies to fill in.
The characteristics of zombies cause them to rush forward unconsciously, and then fall directly onto the ditch.
Under the forward rush and push back, it is definitely like a dumpling in the water.
Next, it is the trimming between the hills, Yang also wants to build this place into a huge labyrinthine project, no matter how many zombies throw in, this hilly area of dozens of kilometers will swallow them. Once trapped, they will be slaughtered by humans.
In the direction of the settlement, at noon the next day, the second wave of zombies finally appeared.
