Chapter 106: Moving to the Institute
Dr. Ali is not alarmist, since we knew that zombies would stack corpse ladders to climb the wall, we suddenly lost our previous confidence in the ten-meter outer wall of the town, and the conditions of the town are limited, it is difficult to continue to increase the height and thickness of the ten-meter outer wall, and now the zombies are still concentrated in the city, not spread to the mountains, once they begin to migrate out in a large area due to the lack of food, searching for traces of human beings, it will not take much, 100,000 zombies may make our town fall.
And a city can accommodate millions of human survivors, the strength of the people is large, and it can always resist the attack of large-scale corpses, although the survivors of the entire Celestial Empire together do not necessarily have so many humans, but creating the ultimate base of human beings is probably our biggest dream that has been in exile.
It was no longer too late, so we said goodbye to Dr. Ali and headed back to town.
I didn't have the heart to get out of the car to clean up the zombies that blocked the road along the way, and Luohan flew away one by one, causing a mess in front of the car.
For the first time, we even took a closer look at the buildings we passed by, thinking that these buildings would be rebuilt and reopened, and the city would return to human hands, and we would like to kick out the zombies that had taken over the city immediately.
"How do some buildings burn down like that? Some of them seem to have been blown up by bombs, and zombies don't know these tricks. I asked them, pointing to some of the ruins.
"It's not up to the zombies," Thunderstorm said back to the co-pilot, "It's all thanks to the gas pipes or gas canisters that we humans have installed ourselves, and at the beginning, there may not be many people still cooking soup, and the owner will become a zombie, just looking for someone to bite, and I don't know how to turn off the gas. ”
"Oh yes!" I wondered, but that's not the case! The city's natural gas pipelines are in all directions, and it is a standard time bomb, which is almost ignited in the chaos.
"I really recovered this Chengdu, and slowly I have to continue to use these time bombs, no way, I can't afford electricity, and it's inconvenient to use firewood." Medlow said.
As if we could take Chengdu back tomorrow, we are now thinking about what the residents will use to cook in the future.
Back in town, Medlow quickly gathered all the townspeople, explained the plan to recover Chengdu, and then let everyone vote on the decision, cooperate with the institute and share the super safe Chengdu base, or stay in the town to take care of himself.
Half of the votes were cast.
Most of the people who are in favor of recovering Chengdu together are strong men, and most of the people who are unwilling to toss are the old and frail old people and women, the reason is very simple, everyone has been satisfied with guarding the town to make a living, after all, the town has not been attacked by zombies since the end of the world, and every crisis is thrilling.
Medlow had no choice but to relay Dr. Ali's words to everyone, maybe this generation can live to live until they are old, but if they hide like this, the next generation may not be able to escape the possibility of being surrounded by corpses out of the city.
Maybe some townspeople don't want to think that far, but there is a crisis in front of us, even if we don't participate in the Institute's plan to clear the city, they will carry it out, even if it is relatively slow, and when the corpses are driven to the outskirts, whether they will suddenly move in the direction of the town, no one can say.
Millions of corpses have found that this is a small town full of living people, and they must have found a treasure and will not give up.
The ten-meter-high wall is as fragile as a child's building block compared to the spicy zombies.
After a lot of discussion among the townspeople, they all agreed to move to the research institute and join the repossession of the city.
When it comes to hundreds of nearly a thousand people moving together, it is easier said than done, first of all, everyone's transportation, there are not so many protective clothing, and they can only rely on force to open the road, and there are not so many vehicles, so they will be allocated to move forward.
The first group sent the elderly, women and children over, and Zhu Hong's brigade was responsible for escorting, and after they sent the people, the whole team of sixty people did not all come back, but came back a small part and drove the car back.
Then another batch will be delivered, and our friends and Medlo will stay in the town and be busy locking up the houses and facilities in the town, and we believe that humanity will eventually reclaim its own world, and this town will become a beautiful place to live, and we cannot give it up indiscriminately.
The companions who guarded the cave on Guogai Mountain were also called back, and we did not move the food stored in the cave, if other survivors can find the cave, they can use the materials in the cave to survive.
Our family and friends were the last to leave the town, and Medlow carefully locked the inside and outside gates of the town, reluctantly got into the car, and left with us.
I have a sense of loss when I left the community, the 18th floor that just paid off the mortgage, my home, I gave up when I said I gave up, and now, again......
Onkyo's work efficiency is amazing, she cooperated with Ileer to properly arrange the town's personnel to the family dormitory on several adjacent floors, hundreds of people into the building are like water dripping into the sea, and they are absorbed in a flash, and they don't see the crowded and noisy scene in the corridor at all.
When we arrived, the building was still as quiet as it had been when we first arrived, and I almost suspected that the townspeople who had migrated had lost their way somewhere else.
My parents' room was adjacent to us, and Thunderstorm, who originally lived in that room, ran to the room that Gu Muli had just been arranged.
The first thing my parents did when they came to the institute was not to appreciate the advanced system and living environment of this building, but that Zhang Luo wanted to see his mother-in-law, and Canaan took them to the floor of the ward where his mother-in-law was.
My mother-in-law was still a little worried about us moving into this "hospital" with our children, until the medical staff repeatedly explained to her that the functional division of each floor of this building is strict, and the residential area is the residential area, there are no patients in and out, and it will not be full of germs everywhere like ordinary hospitals, and the air index of people breathing in this building is very high, and the building has a disinfection and sterilization system to keep the air clean and fresh.
We finally met General Pi as well.
General Pi is not a white-haired old man as I imagined, but I have the impression that the generals are seventy or eighty years old...... He was a major general, only about fifty years old, slightly chubby, with thick hair, slightly white sideburns, and a face full of vicissitudes and seriousness, which made people a little awe-inspired.
"Thank you for joining, now let's talk about how many people can participate in the Qingcheng operation." General Pi gets straight to the point, and there is a superfluous cold noise.
Knowing how many people we could take part in the operation, General Pi immediately decided to start the plan to clear the city tomorrow, and the first step was to clear the nearby streets.
"The sooner the green base is set up, and the survivor teams who are in exile are brought in as soon as possible, I believe that there are many more survival teams like yours." General Pi stared at us, his gaze sharp, but there was also a hint of appreciation.
He is really vigorous and resolute, we are surprised, but we also agree with the style of doing what you want without delay, recovering Chengdu as soon as possible, and building the city as soon as possible.
That night we were notified to attend a meeting in the room, this meeting is an audio conference, there is no image, we just need to be in our respective rooms, quietly listen to the voice notification and arrangement from the air, the content of the meeting is to tell all the men, tomorrow after getting up and having breakfast, take the elevator down to the first floor at seven o'clock, and gather in the compound.
After dinner, some townspeople wanted to visit the neighbors who moved over earlier, but found that the elevator had been closed, and the institute's schedule was very strict, and at night, it was not allowed to mess around between the floors, and the neighbors on this floor could visit at will.
The townspeople were a little excited, a little apprehensive, a little expectant, and a little hesitant all night.
When we all came to the spacious and huge courtyard to assemble, we found that General Pi and his men had been waiting for a long time, and the well-trained soldiers were different from the miscellaneous army of our common people, they were dressed neatly in military uniforms, all of them were straight, and they stood in a square line like a piece of army-green tofu, and they were silent, and no one was chatting nonsense.
The most conspicuous thing was that each of them had a gun in his hand, and the chamber of the gun must have been full, and Anqiao had said that when General Pi brought them over, there was no shortage of ammunition.
Infected by it, we also automatically consciously stood in unison, waiting for General Pi to give orders to issue tasks.
"Please come over to the cranes." General Pi's voice was neither loud nor small, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.
About twenty townspeople stood up, and General Pi was satisfied, and gave them the task of driving a crane to move containers to block the crossing, and he sent a person to direct these drivers.
When the zombies on a street are driven away, the crane driver must block the intersection with containers as soon as possible, while the other canisters must quickly enter the various buildings on the street to remove the remaining zombies, as well as find the living survivors and bring them back. This is everyone's main task. General Pi said to the rest of the people.
"General! What to do with a survivor who attacked us? Tang Xiao suddenly shouted again.
The corners of General Pi's mouth twitched slightly, "Explain your identity first, if they still attack, treat them as zombies." ”
We're all shouting, what a trick! Wouldn't it be better to persuade him to surrender? What if the people who attacked us were just over-frightened......
"Act on the opportunist." Zhang Xiaomei said to her friends around her that the voice was not loud, and people farther away could not hear it.
"General, we also demand the distribution of guns." Luo Han said lazily, but his voice was not small.
General Pi paused, "Civilians don't know how to shoot, you make full use of the weapons in your hands, if you feel that your strength is not enough, you can apply for our soldiers to lead the team, and the captain will protect you with guns." ”
