Chapter 61: The Railway Station
Sitting on the military jeep, Chu Tian followed Staff Officer Liu out of the research institute and came to a military garrison located in the center of Qingshan and Wuchang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the largest military garrison in the whole of Han City!
The newly formed government is still in Wuchang District, but it is not easy for people there to get to the gathering place in Qingshan, and they need to pass through many military checkpoints.
After the military formed a new government in Wuchang District, it set up many small military garrisons and arranged many checkpoints between the gathering places of the two districts. Nominally, it is to guard against many mutant beasts along the river, but in fact, it is a new city plan to protect Qingshan District, and Qingshan District will be the central area of Han City in the future.
Not long after, in a military bunker, Chu Tian saw Division Commander Liang with a serious face!
The two are friends, Chu Tian did it unceremoniously, and asked directly: "Call me over this time, what do you want me to do?" ”
Master Liang also got straight to the point and said: "There is some trouble at Wuchang Railway Station, and if you think about it, I still have to trouble you to go." ”
It's only been two weeks since I saw him, and the wrinkles on Master Liang's brows seem to have deepened a lot, and it seems that he has been working hard a lot recently.
Hearing the tiredness expected by Senior Commander Liang, Chu Tiandeng felt that the situation over there should not be simple, and after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "Is it that the underworld forces over there are restless?" ”
"Hmm!" Division Commander Liang nodded, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand that had not yet burned out, put it aside, and said: "There was originally martial law over there, but in the past few days, in order to prepare for the base, most of the troops have been transferred, and there have been several conflicts between the camp over there and the troops stationed, I am a little worried!" ”
Chu Tian's face flashed, and he said coldly, "A group of guys who can't see the light should have been cleaned up a long time ago!" ”
After the end of the world, the military has long taken over the security of important areas such as train stations, but there have been many survivors stranded in the vicinity of those areas. Although the new government organized the settlements to provide food and water to the survivors free of charge, not all survivors were willing to go to the settlements to live.
The gathering place set up by the government is unable to accommodate all the survivors, millions of survivors gather together, and the trouble caused by food, clothing, housing and transportation is difficult to deal with.
Food and water are the biggest existential threat to survivors!
The new government received a lot of peacetime food from the military, but it only dared to supply it in limited quantities, after all, the entire city's production system was paralyzed, and the stockpiles of materials were limited after all, and one day they would be exhausted!
Over time, many people chose to leave the area under the jurisdiction of the new government and go alone or in conjunction with others to search for supplies! In the city, many areas that have not yet been cleared by the military still have a lot of food and water, as long as you avoid those mutant beasts and zombies, you will definitely get more supplies than the new government has distributed.
This is also the current state of humanity across the country for some time to come: countless survivor camps were established and eventually merged into large bases, surviving in the changing environment of the planet.
The railway is the best channel to communicate with other places, and the train is the best means of transportation in the last days, and the military has long controlled a number of important transportation hubs such as railway stations under the prompting of Chutian. It's just that some survivors with ulterior motives also gathered at the train station, in the name of collecting supplies, and stayed nearby.
Staff Officer Liu briefly recounted the clash at the train station, which was actually the survivors storming the military's checkpoint over there. In Chu Tian's opinion, it should be that the nearby materials are not enough to maintain the lives of those survivors, so that they will have the courage to break out a conflict with the military.
"There are no casualties among the brothers, right?" Chu Tian asked.
Division Commander Liang waved his hand and said, "That's not true, after all, we have guns here, but I'm worried about how to deal with that group of people in the future?" ”
"You're just too indulgent with those people and really think they're for freedom? Don't think that robbery can deter them, and don't forget about the supernatural and the warrior! In the future, when a conflict breaks out, do you really think they will not dare to fight the soldiers? Chu Tian said coldly
Senior Commander Liang frowned and said, "Of course I know, but now I can't do anything to them, I just can't be ruthless, so I am restrained everywhere." ”
It is indeed a bit difficult for a soldier with an upright personality to deal with many affairs in the last days. But now, apart from the military, there is no group that can give hope to survivors more than the military.
Seeing Division Commander Liang, who was a little exhausted, Chu Tian continued: "The military is only temporarily maintaining order, and in the future, it will definitely be stationed in the base. If you go outside, you must first settle inside! After pacifying the people in the base first, it is possible for the living people to live a better life. Don't forget, the surviving humans are evolving, and in the same way, the mutant beasts and zombies that are temporarily blocked out of the gathering place are also evolving, and they are evolving much faster than us, and the living can't afford too much infighting! ”
"Then what do you say about that group of people now?" Master Liang sighed, his tone quite helpless.
Chu Tian said coldly: "Of course, it's a quick knife to cut through the mess!" Those who are willing to join the construction of the base are welcome, and if they are unwilling, let them out, and the base does not raise idlers! ”
"You mean drive them to the suburbs?" Senior Commander Liang's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Chu Tian and asking.
"Or else? They want to be free, so let them go. Wouldn't it be better for some people not to cherish the situation you worked so hard to and let them face it themselves? Chu Tian replied without hesitation.
The current gathering place seems to be peaceful, and there is no major crisis, which is only bought by many good soldiers fighting monsters in the suburbs. The instinct of mutant beasts to avoid harm is far stronger than that of humans, so they won't stay outside the city all the time!
Master Liang thought about it for a long time, and finally sat down, nodded, and laughed at himself: "Then do what you want, I'm old, and I'm really not decisive enough!" What you need, you go directly to the logistics to ask! ”
"Don't say that, I promised to go for you, you have to be your base leader!" Chu Tian knew in his heart that this trip could only be handled by him, a non-military person, who was more suitable.
"Looks like I owe you a favor again?" After getting Chutian's consent, Senior Commander Liang also breathed a long sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
"By the way, where's my meal? When I came, I said that you would take care of the food! ”
"Can I still starve you here? Just sit down, or I'll go to the logistics to urge you? ”
"My face is not that big, since I have done it, then I will wait for a while!"
……
After enjoying a hearty lunch in the barracks, Chu Tian felt that his body was a little empty, but he finally recovered, and his spirit and spirit had obviously improved a lot. It can be seen that the chef of logistics has also worked hard for this meal, and there are no ingredients on the table below the second level!
Sure enough, if you want to get good ingredients, you have to go out for a walk!
Chu Tian, who had a full meal, sighed in his heart!
In the past few days, I have been busy cultivating physical arts, and my physical energy consumption has intensified, and it is inevitable that I can't keep up with my nutrition. The high-end ingredients obtained by the river have long been consumed, and it is difficult for ordinary ingredients to meet the increasingly strong physical needs, if he doesn't get some high-end ingredients, I'm afraid he will really become one of the best "big stomachs" in the base.
Powerful human beings are full of blood and energy, and their nutritional needs are much higher than those of ordinary people. Eating is the most direct way to get nutrients, and the amount of food is also a proof of the strength of the strong people in the base.
The various potions developed by the research institute had magical effects on ordinary people, but they were no longer very effective for Chu Tian, an evolutionary who was about to enter the fourth order.
He posted a number of bounties for high-level mutant beasts in the Mercenary Guild, however, very few were able to complete them. The reason is that the strength of those mercenaries in the gathering place is too low, and those high-level mutant beasts have long avoided the crowd and obtained more resources for evolution on the periphery of the city. Only the army that has been fighting with mutant beasts in the suburbs can use the power of firearms to obtain some higher-grade mutant beast meat.
This time I went to Wuchang Railway Station, which was different from the past, in addition to dealing with some mutant beasts, zombies and other monsters, I also had to face some evil evil forces, Chutian also prepared in the military camp, and chose to set off early the next morning to go to Wuchang Railway Station.
There are four railway stations in Han, and Wuchang Railway Station is the largest one, and the nearby traffic is also the most developed, so it is not possible to deal with the threat in the vicinity in a short time.
In the early morning of the next day, four green military vehicles, carrying some supplies and Chu Tian and thirty soldiers with loaded guns, drove out of the military station.
With the military vehicles opening the way, as well as the documents issued by Division Commander Liang, Chu Tian and the others were not hindered in the area under the jurisdiction of the new government, and it was early in the morning, and the group quickly passed through the area under the jurisdiction of the new government.
In the areas under the jurisdiction of the new government, as long as they do not deliberately cause trouble, they can receive a certain amount of rice, cooking oil and bottled water and other resources for free every once in a while. These resources can maintain the basic needs of human life, and if you want to obtain more resources, you have to participate in some work arranged by the government, such as collecting materials and building new houses. Of course, you can also find someone to set up a mercenary group and receive the bounty task issued by the guild, which can also be obtained after completion.
Out of the area under the jurisdiction of the new government, the streets that come into view are not so harmonious:
All kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere, the doors and windows of the neighborhood have been wantonly destroyed, and although the road is lined with high-rise buildings, there is an eerie quiet, as if you have come to an empty city that has been abandoned for a long time.
What you see with your eyes may not be real!
With his extraordinary spiritual power, Chu Tian could sense that there were many signs of life activity nearby.
Those are mostly wandering zombies and mutant beasts, and of course, humans.
There are no barriers nearby, which means that this is an uncontrolled zone, which means that it has not been cleared by the military for a long time.
Not long after entering this area, Chu Tian, who was sitting in the lead car, gestured to the driver, stopped the car, and walked out of the car first, and the convoy behind also stopped, and the heavily armed soldiers in the car also quickly jumped out of the car and stood guard around the convoy.
"Don't be nervous, normally speaking, our team won't have any big accidents right now. I'm talking about some things that you need to pay attention to when you come out on a mission again in the future. Chutian took out the map and popularized some basic wilderness survival skills with the soldiers:
"When driving in a hurry, the sound of the car will expose itself, and when the convoy is sufficient, arrange personnel to explore the road as much as possible. If it's early in the morning, the most important thing to guard against is the zombies, because only the zombies' perception ability is still good, and they can easily follow the sound to rush over; If it's morning, the danger faced by the general convoy is the mutant beasts that come out to feed; When driving in the afternoon, the most important thing to watch out for is the survivors in the vicinity. The convoy is driving in an area rarely frequented by humans, and those who go out to explore the road should promptly report the road conditions in front to the cars behind......"
This time, the purpose of Chu Tian and the others was to eliminate the hidden dangers around the train station, and by the way, to deliver supplies to the brothers over there. The soldiers brought seemed to be fully armed, but in fact they were all recruits, and every time Chu Tian came to the barracks, Division Commander Liang would stuff some recruits into him, hoping to let them learn more things from Chu Tian.
Along the way, Chu Tian has been exploring the way in front of the convoy, the convoy has not encountered any major accidents, and the zombies that occasionally appear wandering in front of him have also been easily solved by Chu Tian with crossbow arrows, and until the vicinity of the railway station, the people in the convoy have not used guns and other thermal weapons.
Of the soldiers stationed at the railway station, there was probably a company, and the rest were ordinary people involved in the maintenance of the railway. When the tall and magnificent Wuchang Railway Station came into view, Chu Tian's convoy was also on the road ahead and encountered a sentry post.
This sentry is set up in the middle of the road, with a red flag planted on it, and the obstacles on both sides are made of many abandoned cars, tables and chairs and other heavy items, completely sealing the entire road, leaving only a passage for one truck on each side of the sentry.
In front of the two passages, there are rows of barriers that are common in pre-apocalyptic toll booths, and it is impossible to break through.
