Chapter 11: Stopping the Zombies (Part I)

When passing by a supermarket, Zhang Haolin suddenly remembered: "Do you want to get some food and water, there are so many people, you need to prepare more?" ”

"You still need to bring it up, there are at least two trucks busy getting food and water." Tom drove the car and smiled: "There is also one pulling wooden sticks and nail sacks or something, we have to strengthen every door and window of the hotel, and we can even think of repairing some fortifications around the hotel." ”

On the way out of the city, the truck was dragged by a queue of armored vehicles and tanks, Zhang Haolin opened the window and asked the soldiers in the armored car: "Where are you going, do you care about the city?" ”

"The monster tide in Philadelphia is coming soon, and we're going to an important intersection to stop it!" The soldier sitting behind the machine gun replied: "What are you going to do when you go out of the city at this time, the state government has advised civilians to stay indoors!" ”

Tom, who was in the driver's seat, quickly replied: "We live outside the city and are on our way home!" ”

"Be careful." The soldier casually cared for a moment, followed the large army in front of him, and set off.

――

When he returned to the hotel again, Zhang Haolin was surprised to find that more than a dozen people were reinforcing all the windows on the first and second floors of the hotel with wooden planks and wooden strips, and the originally chaotic vehicles in the parking lot were also parked in order -- the open space at the main entrance of the hotel had been cleared only for the unloading of trucks transporting goods.

A few cars of people chose to leave, and eventually more than seventy people decided to stay in the rest area, which was a great number - not much, but just enough for everyone to feel "safe"; There are enough people to assign various tasks, help each other, and protect each other; There is also plenty of space for every family or small group to have their own small space.

Forty people chose to stay in the Keller Williams real estate building, and more than thirty people guarded the weekday hotel building, the two buildings were less than 100 meters apart, and the two buildings could resist each other if zombies appeared. In the past half a day, everyone was very friendly to each other, and Zhang Haolin even saw someone playing the instrument he brought...... The overall feeling is like dozens of people partying here.

Dozens of tons of ammunition, weapons, food, and water are all stockpiled, at least until they are used up, the friendly atmosphere here will not stop, and if it is tossed to the point of running out of ammunition and food, the thirty-day time limit is estimated to have already arrived.

"That force is a few kilometers away to intercept the main tide of zombies coming along the main road, let's go and see, if we can stop it, this survival camp is really impregnable." The man with gold-rimmed glasses, whose name Timos they now knew, proposed after hearing about the whereabouts of the National Guard: "After all, there are two big cities near here, Philadelphia and New York, New York is nearly a hundred kilometers away from us, and it is impossible for zombies to come here, as long as the main force of the zombie group from the direction of Philadelphia is killed, there will be no more zombie waves to attack here, and we can live in peace as long as we clean up the scattered zombies every day." ”

"Yes, by the way, you can also help, how can we hide behind and resign ourselves to fate when we have so many people who can hold guns?" Zhai Jun also learned to use a gun in the afternoon, and he looked high-spirited at the moment, unlike these inhabitants of this world, the reincarnators still have to worry about the score.

"Drive to the front line, and if the situation is not right, you can drive back immediately." Samsara-samsars are basically unanimous.

"Since they all say so, then the men will drive with guns to see, the old and young women and children stay here to guard, if the situation is not right, we will come back immediately and block the door!"

――

More than 30 men in the two buildings, in 10 small and medium-sized vehicles, followed the route to the area where the army had been armed.

The route was frighteningly clean and clear, and they quickly approached the area of engagement, and a few hundred meters away, they could hear the sound of gunfire coming from there - not dense, and it seemed to be rhythmic, and it didn't sound like there was much pressure on the defensive line. As they approached, the defensive positions of the troops came into view of the members of the camp.

"What are they doing with sandbags and bunkers? Most of them were still hiding behind in bulky body armor and helmets...... and immediately someone pointed out the problem with dissatisfaction: "Have zombies learned to shoot?" Will zombies already apply for an air strike? What the hell is it about? ”

"Alas, it is estimated that this is how the training they received is taught, and there is no way to correct it for a while."

"No, how can there be a reporter! They thought it was a joke? ”

"Presumably to let the citizens of Doylston know that the state is still capable of protecting them......"

――

The sound of their discussion was drowned out by the rhythmic burst of fire from several vehicle-borne machine guns, and could not be heard at all. After getting out of the car, soldiers soon ran over and asked them what they were doing, and said that the blocking position did not need civilian support, and if they had to help, they could go to the flanks on both sides of the road to watch and deal with the wild zombies who were not walking along the main road.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, just five hours after the zombie outbreak in Philadelphia, and the zombies who arrive here are only the fastest "vanguard": one or two, staggering among the many abandoned cars on the highway coming from Philadelphia. Headshots from vehicle-mounted machine guns and snipers - it's normal for civilians to whine and scold the government for being incompetent, but the basic fighting qualities of the regular army are still there, at least they have gathered information on the enemy's weaknesses and know that headshots are necessary.

The reincarnators took the initiative to run to the flank with the other camp members, ready to kill the zombies that did not walk on the main road, but were attracted by the gunfire and emerged from the woods on both sides, and mixed up the scores.

The zombies that emerged from the main road gradually became dense, and it was no longer easy to shoot with firearms. Finally, at the command of the commander of this unit, an armored vehicle fired the first rocket.

The rocket pierced through the sky and flew towards the target with a trail of smoke. Everyone could see that it drew a parabola and fell downward, the shell of the mother bomb cracked, revealing all the bullets inside, each bullet was connected with plastic explosives, about the size of a grenade, with penetrating lethality. They shoot into the middle of the first wave of zombies and explode when they hit the ground or touch abandoned vehicles. The detonated fuel tank resembles a small volcano, and the intermittent eruption of flames and fragments increases the power of the first rocket.

To be honest, such a display of firepower really made Zhang Haolin and the other two novice reincarnators feel safe...... Watching the zombies begin to fall to the ground, the reporter began to cheer through the microphone and brief the audience on the battlefield.
