Wang Qiang didn't find out how talented he was in shooting, in fact, except for the last two months when he had the opportunity to shoot a few training rounds against the shooting wall when repairing the firearm, Wang Qiang didn't have the opportunity to touch the firearm at any other time.

Looking at my sniper rifle, it is just a modified caliber plus a new scope of the old gun, I didn't expect it to be very accurate.

If Wang Qiang was given the same chance a hundred more times, Wang Qiang would not have the confidence to hit the target again.

Lin Er didn't have time to dwell on these things, after he conveyed the order to keep the No. 2 car on guard through the communicator, he took the lead in opening the door of the armored locomotive, and rushed to sweep the corpse mountain and the sea of blood with Makqin in his hand.

The rest of the team members jumped out of the car in a search formation, and in the limited time, everyone needs to dispose of the zombies' corpses as soon as possible, because the smell of blood will attract more zombies. Moreover, these monsters, which have been dead for many years, will spread diseases in the air.

In the ready-made large sand pit on the battlefield, everyone collected all kinds of stumps of the zombies and buried them uniformly.

Of course, once it is found that there are still half-dead surviving zombies, the city defense team members can make up for a good knife.

As for the blood stains left by the battle on the ground, Lin Er led people to cut some branches, lit a fire, and thick smoke billowed all over the battle site.

Wang Qiang knew that this was a very practical method, zombies already had some characteristics of beasts, they didn't like fire, and the smoke from burning leaves could effectively cover up the smell of blood.

When burning branches to get rid of the smell of blood, Lin Er also led people to collect a lot of warheads and shells along the battlefield. These are raw materials that can be recycled and reused, today with the lack of raw materials, bullets are precious, don't look at Lin Er's pride when the war started, in fact, at this moment, Lin Er is distressed about the consumption of bullets, this kind of thing is really not done by people, Lin Er thought.

Wang Qiang followed the driver Xu Fei to clean the armored locomotive, looking at the criss-crossing scratches on the 15mm-thick armored steel plate on the body, Wang Qiang had to sigh that the claws of these monsters were really sharp.

"These zombies have mutations, at least the second generation of zombies, and the last one with the largest one already has some characteristics of the third generation." Xu Fei said.

Evolutionary zombie Wang Qiang just heard Lu Ming say that Wang Qiang had never encountered a monster of this level in his career in the exploration team.

If the last time I encountered such a fast-moving zombie, I am afraid that I would not have been able to wait for Lu Ming to come to the rescue, and I would have been overtaken.

Xu Fei nagged while wiping the body with a rag: "This kind of speed-type second-generation zombie is usually rare, and it is rare for our city defense team to encounter it once a year when they go on a mission, so I didn't expect to encounter so many this time." ”

"This kind of zombie is really fast, and its claws are also very sharp, if the wild is full of this kind of zombie, it is estimated that the human race will be finished." Wang Qiang said.

Xu Fei smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, the evolution difficulty of these monsters is extraordinary, and large-scale encounters with evolutionary zombies can only be encountered in the city." It's not good that we will have this treatment on our trip to Guanxian, yo ho ho ho ho. ”

The driver Xu Fei is a heartless guy, years of licking blood with the blade have already made him put life and death out of the way, a guy who doesn't care about life and death, what's so difficult to joke?

It took a lot of time, and the city defense team finally cleared the battlefield completely. Lin Er looked at the mechanical watch in his hand, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

It seems that it is impossible to complete the task in one day, Lin Er thought about it.

For camping in the wild, Lin Er is extremely taboo. Wild nights are dangerous, and the slightest carelessness can lead to mass casualties. But when it comes to having to sleep in the wild, Lin Er will become cautious.

As a former professional soldier, although Lin Er and Hu Kaiqing have been at odds with each other for many years, their level of leading the city defense team is still excellent.

Lin Er ordered the No. 2 armored locomotive to come and assemble, found an empty area against the mountain, and instructed the two vehicles to stop along the mountain, the first of which was connected into an arch, and artificially separated a piece of open space that was easy to defend for camping. For the entrance and exit of the passage, and then filled with earthen mines, tripping horse nooses and a series of homemade traps to ensure that nothing was lost, Lin Er ordered to dig an earthen stove for cooking.

The city defense team, which had been trekking all day, only replenished a little liquid food at noon, and it was also very pleasant to be able to boil a pot of hot water and get rid of the fatigue after the battle.

Everyone was full of energy, lit the firewood they had chopped before, built a bonfire, and light smoke came out of the hot water, and then took out the sealed dried vegetables and dried meat, mixed with all kinds of grains and coarse grains, and put them in the pot, and a hearty meal was close at hand.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Er took Wang Qiang and Liu Dehuang and several other city defense team members to do a patrol around the battlefield, and several dilapidated flat-bottomed sand boats were hidden in the canopy of the battlefield, and after a long day of immersion in the river, these boats have been completely marked as scrapped.

That's what I'm looking for on this trip, the ship has been abandoned for more than ten years, and damage is inevitable, but it's good luck to find the ship.

Wang Qiang climbed onto the boat stranded on the beachhead of the sand field, and curiously checked them one by one, for a newborn human born after the apocalypse, it was the first time he had seen the sand boat as a means of transportation.

After careful inspection, Wang Qiang said to Lin Er: "Five sand ships may be used up to two, don't see if they can be started, it will take a lot of time to repair the hull alone, you have to stay up all night to repair tonight, otherwise don't think about starting these ships tomorrow." ”

Lin Er nodded disappreciatively: "Yes, I will arrange someone to assist you after dinner, if you need anything, just ask." ”

Wang Qiang was not ambiguous, and arranged for someone to carry all the portable laser welding equipment and plasma cutting machinery carried with the car into the canopy, hung solar light panels, turned on the lighting settings, and after a period of arrangement, the temporary repair office was built.

After dinner and a short break, Wang Qiang put himself to work. Some of the city guards were devoted to repairing the ships, while the rest were divided into two shifts to guard the safety of the night.

Wang Qiang led people to disassemble the most dilapidated ship into parts, which could be used as ready-made raw materials. Then start with the sand ship that is most likely to be repaired, repair the hull, weld the gaps, reinforce the ridge, and then repair the power equipment. Under the solar light panels, Wang Qiang was full of energy, and several city defense team members who came to help couldn't stand the fatigue, and began to rest one after another, while Wang Qiang always maintained a high level of enthusiasm into the work.

The wilderness was silent at night, occasionally there would be one or two wild beast calls, occasionally there would be gunshots from the members on duty shooting guards, the campfire in the camp was not extinguished all night, and Wang Qiang did not sleep all night with his eyes open. The hard work paid off, and finally after more than ten hours of hard work, the power equipment of the sand boat began to operate.

Slowly driving the sand boat out of the canopy, Lin Er's jaw dropped in shock.

"Is this still called a ship? I can assure you that I have never seen such an ugly ship in my life, and I probably will never see one again. Lin Er picked up the cigarette that fell on the ground and said.

The rest of the elderly city guards laughed. The sand boat with countless patches looked like a dried sardine gnawed by rats, ugly and shriveled with a hint of joy. In fact, it's no wonder that Wang Qiang, as a new generation after the apocalypse, Wang Qiang has no concept of a ship in his mind at all, for his half-hung mechanical repair level, as long as he can start the ship, it can be regarded as a great success, as for the efficiency optimization, there is no need to bother with inconsequential things such as appearance.

Wang Qiang made two bays in the center of the river and successfully ran aground on a shoal, and he announced with a sense of accomplishment that the repairs had been completed, at the cost of scrapping the other four sand boats.

Lin Er looked at the stranded sand boat and had an urge to beat people, so he simply gradually subsided his anger over the years, and finally did not break out and hurt people.

Two city defense team members who knew how to drive boats were arranged to follow Wang Qiang all the way along the river back to the Xiacheng base, and the rest of the people drove near the river to provide protection.

There were no dangers along the way, but there were no thrilling incidents, but the speed of the sand boat was outrageously slow, which made the armored vehicles driving on land wait for a while.

After the sand boat returned to the vicinity of the Xiacheng base, Lao Zhao personally went to the river to give the sand boat a certain modification, saving many unreasonable patches, and the sand boat was successfully remodeled.

As a mechanic, Lao Zhao is by no means in vain. He loaded the hull with several machine guns and solar-powered weapons, modified and enhanced the power system of the sand boat, and specially made external protective steel plates.

Dozens of container drifting boxes of different sizes are bound to the back of the hull of the sand boat, so that more items can be carried.

The sand boat was ceremoniously named "Prayer Blessing" by Mayor Lin, which has obvious implications.

During the period when the Blessing was being maintained. The exploration team led by Hu Kaiqing was ordered to conduct preliminary reconnaissance of the low mountains on the outskirts of Guanxian where there may be an arsenal.

The approximate range of the arsenal is one hundred and seventy or eighty kilometers away from the location of Xiacheng, and most of the exploration team members under Hu Kaiqing are human vehicles, and it often takes several days to make a round trip.

Holding this map drawn with blood, Mayor Lin sighed for a while, wanting to appease Hu Kaiqing and the exploration team. Hu Kaiqing disagreed, and bluntly said that after the weapons in the military factory were taken out, the exploration team would be able to get some more shares, which would be worthy of the blood spilled by the brothers. Mayor Lin was not perfunctory, and immediately stated that the weapons and equipment exploration team would be selected at that time. The distribution plan was drawn up, and everyone was happy, but no one cared how red the blood of the dead martyrs was.

With ships, maps, and three military orders, a trip to Guanxian is imperative. The magnates of the lower city gathered in the conference room of the military district to hold a military meeting to discuss the details of the operation to explore the military factory.

According to the map identification, the direction of Guan County is an absolute forbidden area, and most of the 1.2 million zombies in Guan County are within the city limits, if you stab the hornet's nest, it is the danger of annihilation.

Therefore, according to the deliberations, the battle plan was divided:

Abandoned vehicles along the road line near the suburbs have blocked traffic, but it has also formed a natural sniper position, the zombies in Guan County want to pounce from the location of the national highway to the low mountain group where the military factory is located, need to climb over several kilometers of vehicle obstacles, the city defense team of 200 people led by Lin Er, carrying elite weapons was ordered to set up positions on the national highway line, no matter what kind of movement of the zombies in Guan County, they must be guarded until the sniper mission is completed.

Fifty people from the second division of the city defense team set up positions on several low hills with medium-range strike weapons, joined the collapse of the frontline position, and were responsible for fighting the zombie hordes that entered the range of the low mountains.

Generally speaking, as long as the first part of the main road is not devastated, this second line of defense only needs to clear a very small number of scattered zombies that have infiltrated it.

The third unit is composed of a mixed city defense team and an exploration team, with about 100 people, guarding the 1.5-kilometer range from the sand boat to the low hill position of the military factory, and at the same time undertaking the task of transporting weapons and equipment along the way.

The task of entering the military factory was completed independently by the elite exploration team led by Hu Kaiqing.

The various units acted separately, and the target raw materials and weapons and equipment were taken out of the military factory by Hu Kaiqing's troops, transported by manpower to the sand boats, and then transported back to the Xiacheng base by the sand boats.

Considering the limited transport capacity of the sand boats, this operation may have to be held for several days.

Mayor Lin and Hu Kaiqing successively came to the stage to deliver speeches, calling on the living area to form a volunteer brigade to collect all kinds of materials, and the materials obtained are ten taxes and one tax, and the rest are collected by volunteers.

For a while, there was a thunderous cheer, and a large number of volunteers enthusiastically signed up. On the day of the expedition, Xiacheng was divided into three groups of personnel, totaling more than 2,000 people, and drove in the direction of Guanxian.

Mayor Lin stood on the top of the farewell mountain, looked at the team in the distance, and thought silently in his heart, how many people have become corpses and souls this time.
