Chapter 153: The Sea Is Frozen
Lending ammunition is a big deal, Zhu Hong and Lei Storm can't make a decision right away, and when we arrive and read the letter, everyone feels that this time we really have to borrow it.
"Why do you guess that Li Bin is going to go to the island?" That's what I'm most concerned about.
Zhu Hong pointed to Changxing Island, which was snowing heavily, and said, "Although this island is independent, all systems are complete, and the tourist attractions occupied by Li Bin also have certain facilities, but it has been three years since the end of the world, and those facilities have not been maintained and replenished, and I am afraid they are almost consumed." This winter came early and cold, and he also had to prepare for his team, and as far as the eye could see, settling down on Changxing Island was the most convenient and quick choice for them. I think so, Li Bin's borrowing of ammunition is fake, in the winter, he also wants to rectify and rest, what kind of zombies to fight? Once the colonel refuses, he can use the excuse of running out of ammunition to ask to join Changxing Island to survive together, as a base, the colonel is his old superior, there is no reason to refuse. ”
Zhu Hong's analysis is clear and organized, and we can hear it clearly, so it seems that if he does not borrow ammunition, Li Bin asks to go to the island, and he will definitely find out the truth about the colonel's impeachment and hanging.
Maybe he has no friendship with the Colonel, and the Colonel's death has nothing to do with him, but he can treat this as a pigtail for us, firmly grasping it in his hands, and even he can use the strength of his team to control the island, and we will change from active to passive, unable to control our own destiny.
"This Li Bin is really a big trouble!" Luo Han scolded in a thick nasal voice, his cold was not yet cured, "Lao Lei, let's just set up a set, and after three days, we will say that the colonel will not borrow it, and let this grandson personally go to the island to find the colonel to judge, you hide in the dark and snipe him with a shot!" The dragons have no leader, and his assault battalion will be dispersed. ”
Zhu Hong and Thunderstorm shook their heads at the same time, "Lao Luo, you don't know much about the assault battalion of our base, Li Bin really died in our hands, even if the assault battalion fights the whole battalion, it will fight to the death with us, and when things develop to that point, there is no room for redemption, although there are three hundred militiamen and the Ministry of Security on our island, there are still so many ordinary survivors, especially the old people and children, who can't follow the pot?" ”
Luo Han said unconvinced, "Thunderstorm, your three hundred Spartan warriors plus Lao Zhu's security department, as well as me and Xiaomei's supply department, can't you get him a battalion?" ”
Zhu Hong smiled, "Three hundred Spartan warriors? Thunderstorm, this name sounds good, your militia regiment is just 300 people, just right. ”
Thunderstorm had no intention of joking again, "Luohan, do you think the assault battalion will fight with us face to face with bayonets or bullets?" The assault battalion is good at playing assault, let's kill Li Bin, they will touch the island like a ghost in the middle of the night, and take advantage of the night to quietly wipe the neck of you and me in their sleep! ”
Zhu Hong also became serious, "In the final analysis, Li Bin's policy towards us is above board, if they want to play shady, no one can stop them." ”
"We can't let them go to the island, we can't predict his attitude after we kill the colonel, we can't take this risk," Zhang Xiaomei listened quietly for a long time, and suddenly said, "Give him the ammunition he wants, if he wants to point the gun at us, he won't borrow ammunition from us now, just like Lao Zhu and Thunderstorm said, he would have already touched the island in the middle of the night." ”
Without Li Bin's excuse, he was embarrassed to go to Changxing Island, so we discussed and decided to give him the amount Li Bin wanted.
This sunshine was so distressing that he scolded his mother in the warehouse while directing everyone to stock up outside, and scolded all day.
With so much rice dedicated, no one can't help but scold their mother, but everyone knows that in order to take care of the overall situation, sometimes you have to sacrifice some interests.
Three days later, Li Bin sent a car to pull the ammunition, and as he wished, he took away the goods we had prepared on the bridge early, he himself did not appear, it was still Ling Jingyu who led the team, and he brought a second letter, which read: Xie Lu Xie!
Luo Han was so angry with him that his nose was cleared all of a sudden.
As the flu passed, everyone recovered, and the weather became colder and colder, and a month later, the temperature dropped to an incredible level, and the surface of the sea began to freeze.
The first to freeze was the sea between Changxing Island and the mainland, and as far as the eye could see, the original blue-black sea surface turned into a snow-white, and the ice was buried under a thick snow quilt.
"Oh no," I watched the incessant blizzard in fear, remembering a movie I had seen before, "The Day After Tomorrow"!
The movie was scary, with a sudden tsunami, then an endless blizzard, a drastic drop in temperature, and the ability to watch the air freeze and chase the protagonists until they fled into the depths of the library, warming themselves by burning precious books.
"It won't be like this!" I had dressed myself as an elephant-headed polar bear, a woolen hat that covered my head, several thick woollen scarves around my face and neck, a bulging down jacket over my thick sweatshirt, thick sweatpants over cotton pants, and two layers of thick woolen socks on my woollen snow boots.
With my image, it's hard for even my mom to recognize me when I'm outside.
The men are relatively less exaggerated, Thunderstorm even wears a thin long-sleeved T-shirt under the down jacket, and Luohan wears a Thunderbolt hat, which looks indescribably funny.
"Have you seen the movie The Day After Tomorrow?" I asked a few guys who were gathered in front of the electric heater, and the temperature in the room of the headquarters was getting colder, so I had to have an electric heater in the conference room.
"I've seen it," Zhang Xiaomei replied, "disaster movies, I love to watch disaster movies." ”
The others also nodded, saying that they were impressed.
"Do you think the weather is not like the day after tomorrow?" I was worried.
"Elephant, but different." Zhang Xiaomei smiled and comforted me, "There is some exaggeration in the movie, if the freeze is so fast, it is impossible for human beings to escape, I remember that there is a scene in it where a helicopter pilot is frozen to death instantly, if the world becomes like that, then mankind will inevitably perish." The weather is a bit extreme, but it's not that bad, and the temperature isn't dropping so quickly. ”
"That's right," Luohan's cold had healed, and his voice returned to normal, "God really wants to play us like this, and we don't have a rut, so don't worry so much." ”
"What we're worried about should be the corpses," Zhu Hong curled up with her sleeves huddled, although her posture was like that of an old farmer, her mind was still clear, "The sea connected to the mainland has been frozen, and the zombies can sneak over at any time, and at this distance, they will come after walking for half a day." ”
"Fortunately, the beach is full of cliffs, and they can't climb up even if they come." The thunderstorm knows the geography of the island best, "And the cliff is quite steep, and I have the good ability to jump up and down." ”
"There is always a head in the cliff," Zhang Xiaomei reminded everyone, "they can't climb up directly, they can walk towards both ends of the island, walk to the gentle beach, and the polder back into the island is the same, they have patience and time, and they are not afraid of the cold!" ”
"Zhang Luo, let's work!" Zhu Hong stood up, "Continue to add corpse pits and barbed wire fences on the slow beach, and in addition, block the places where the cliff area enters the slow beach, so that they can't come in." ”
"Why can't zombies freeze to death? One by one, the light does not slip away. "I really can't understand how this monster driven by the virus has such a big vitality.
"Virus Niubei! Not a carrier cow. Zhang Xiaomei explained, in fact, everyone understands this truth, I just want to spit out.
Working outdoors in such a ghostly weather is terrible, especially when the ground is frozen as hard as stones, and the excavator makes a loud and piercing noise, almost burning the machine before digging a shallow pit.
There are pits are better than no pits, the most important thing is to use barbed wire to block the pass leading from the cliff to the shallows, and the zombies will be overturned and torn if they have the ability, otherwise they can only turn around under the cliff.
The sense of security has been reduced in vain, we have repeatedly reminded the islanders to be safe, about the freezing of the sea, everyone also knows the truth, no one dares not to take this seriously, the sudden appearance of zombies outside the door is not a pleasant thing, everyone locks their yard doors and doors tightly at night.
We were also prepared early, and less than a week after the completion of the project, the first wave of corpses came in the night, and indeed because they could not climb the cliff, they divided into two streams and headed towards the shallows, and were stopped by barbed wire at the end.
When the patrol found out, we rushed to the scene with armed men to check on the situation.
This wave of zombies is really tireless, their heads are sprinkled with snowflakes, but they are not so hideous and terrifying, but the rotten eyes, rotten teeth, and gray skin exposed under the snow on their heads are still showing that this is a group of living dead who have been dead for a long time.
"They're visibly stiff," I told my mates, stomping my foot to the ground, which was so cold that they started to freeze their toes after a few moments, "and the cold has an effect on their movements!" ”
Luo Han carried a big crossbow on his back and fired a crossbow arrow aimed at the head of a zombie, and the zombie fell to the ground, "The low temperature has a great impact on our actions, and my fingers are almost unconscious, damn." ”
"Don't open the iron mesh door to get close to the meat game, this one is slippery, it doesn't matter if you fall, which zombie is holding a piece and falling, and then give it the opportunity to take a bite and it will be wasted." The thunderstorm stopped the militia who wanted to go across the wire to kill the zombies.
Everyone watched Luohan use crossbow arrows to solve zombies, and they all felt good.
So the militia regiment added archery lessons, bows and arrows are easier to make than crossbows, although it is more laborious to practice than crossbow arrows, and the ghost and the second brother were invited to teach, and this work is not something that can be practiced in a short period of time, especially in this ice and snow.
But the militia group has live targets for training, zombies land on the island from time to time, ghosts and second brothers form militia groups to go to the cliff, and there are iron nets for the militia to fight, zombies move around, it is easier to increase everyone's level than dead targets.
