Chapter 155: East, West, North and South
Zheng Jieming and the others saw that the fire was getting more and more ferocious, and the outer circle of Lan Yuting was already surrounded by fire, and they were anxious.
"I'm afraid it's not a way to stay here, and now that the house has been blown up, I'm afraid I can only move the place, right?"
"The city is very dangerous now, I'm afraid to continue to stay in the northern metropolis, and another round of bombing is inevitable, the key is that now we don't know what the situation is outside, only the northern metropolis has fallen, or a larger area has also been lost." Geng Zhi said, he was worried that if there was just a zombie crisis in one city, it would be entirely possible for the military to directly lose the car to protect the commander, sacrificing tens of millions of people who had become zombies, in exchange for the safety of hundreds of millions of people.
"No, it won't." Guo Songtao suddenly began to express his opinion.
"What won't, you make it clear." Zhou Jitang turned his head and asked, he didn't have a good impression of this man. "You're saying you won't close down cities that have already been affected?"
"No, it is possible to close and destroy a city, but it will not only be the fall of the northern metropolis." Guo Songtao said, "If it falls, it is likely to be a large area." â
"What do you mean? Do you know anything about it? Zheng Jieming asked.
"I'm from the Tailwind Security Service, and I've received some information about terrorist attacks and arms entering the country, so I've been investigating, and we've found arms smuggled in from the northern border, and the same reports have been reported at the southern and western borders. The arms were not just destined for the northern metropolis, but to several large cities. â
"Arms? What do you mean... Was this a planned attack? When Zheng Jieming heard about the large-scale entry of arms, he thought of the underground fortifications of Lan Yuting and the gang of men in black.
"We don't have much information about zombies, and we originally only suspected that there was a ***** incident against ****, so we have always focused on these aspects."
"Then you didn't get rid of this batch of arms before you entered the country? Wait until the arms enter the country and then check slowly? ?! Zhou Jitang was still full of suspicion about this man.
"When we got the information, we did deduct several batches of arms, but this is a water of Eagle Country equipment, there has never been such a large amount of smuggling in the past, we must find a way to find out who the real buyer is, this matter may have a greater impact on the government, so we can only secretly follow the vine, special treatment in special circumstances." Guo Songtao explained.
"What's the connection with zombies?" Zheng Jieming frowned, "Do you suspect that someone smuggled arms and created zombies at the same time?" â
"I'm not sure what zombies have to do with arms. But now that I think about it, I think at least the people who smuggle arms can be more or less aware of the outbreak of the zombie crisis, maybe these people were not smuggling arms for ****, after all, for so many years, Zhongzhou's internal politics @## #æēŧįŊåĒäļįīåūįĻģåŪ, political communication and people, rapid development, although there are some public opinion forces and potential contradictions, but far from developing to the point of fighting each other. Guo Songtao said.
Zheng Jieming suddenly thought of his sister, would she also have a certain connection with arms, she was wearing military clothes, and came straight to Lan Yuting with combat effectiveness, obviously knowing that there were arms hidden under Lan Yuting.
He felt his head go big for a moment.
"Zheng Zhilan, who are you now? How much do you know about this crisis? â
He rubbed his temples and lowered his head.
ââââ
The border city of Zhongzhou North Province, Zhoudong City.
There is also a serious zombie crisis here, and even neighboring countries have not been spared.
Neighboring Fat Country and Zhongzhou are separated by a large river, and the other side is sparsely populated, and there are only relatively dense residential areas in the port parts of the two sides. The zombie crisis broke out in the two countries almost at the same time, and at the beginning of the outbreak, both sides closed the ports as soon as possible - due to the rapid outbreak, the so-called closed ports are to lift the bridges that can be lifted and pulled, and the bridges that can be blocked are blocked, and if it is too late to deal with them, they will be blown up on the spot.
But this doesn't seem to make any sense, the two countries have suffered the same serious infection, and the fat country on the other side of the strait has been adhering to the politics of the first army, mobilizing the army at the first time, and eliminating a large number of zombies, the situation is slightly better. Before the zombie crisis, there was also an Eagle Country movie that claimed that the Fat Nation could mobilize all its residents to pull out their teeth overnight? Don't hack my fat country neighbor, that's impossible.
Subsequently, according to the early warning plan, the surviving residents evacuated to a safe and sturdy air-raid shelter. However, it was this seemingly appropriate move that brought even more serious disasters to this fat country with a population of more than 20 million.
In Xinpanzhou City, on the other side of the east bank of Zhoudong City, the air-raid shelter was densely populated, and a resident in his thirties suddenly mutated on his own, biting his wife who was sleeping next to him, and his wife bitten his child, and the infection quickly spread from crowd to crowd, and not a single person in the air-raid shelter was spared.
In addition to the new fat state, the big cities of other fat countries have not been spared. The few major cities in the fat country have suffered extremely heavy population losses, but the scattered farmers in the mountainous areas have survived more. But the total population has also fallen to less than one-thirtieth of its original size.
And in Zhongzhou, the situation is not much better.
Because the zombies first appeared on the bridge at the port, the people in Zhoudong City thought that the zombie crisis originated from the fat country on the other side of the river, and they evacuated inland. The east of the state is not far from Shengtian City and Binlian City, and the masses have evacuated in the direction of the two cities, but unfortunately, a large number of people are blocked at the highway turnstile out of the city, and only a few people who can drive to the highway are extremely lucky. The toll booth at the entrance to the expressway became the hardest-hit area in the city.
The crisis also broke out in the city of Jinzhu in the southern province. It is an inland mountainous city with a high altitude, but because the surrounding area is all mountainous, Jinzhu City has a relatively small urban area, compact urban planning, and a denser population of more than 4 million, and the deaths and injuries are extremely tragic. Only a few thousand residents were lucky enough to get out of the way and avoid the congestion on the roads, and the rest of the people trapped in the city were all lucky.
The mountainous area south of Kaneki City saved the citizens and local villagers who fled south. Karst caves, valleys full of green trees, and strange natural stone castles can be dispersed by citizens and local villagers, and even if some people mutate on their own, they can avoid the tragedy of being wiped out by zombies at the same time.
These two places are just a microcosm of the zombie crisis in Zhongzhou, even the highest plateau area in Zhongzhou has not been completely spared, but due to the sparse population here, the losses are not prominent. This is a national disaster, and no place is truly immune.
However, in the inland towns of Wuli and Changnan, nearly 100 surviving people took advantage of the complex water system around the city to form the first and second informal anti-zombie organizations in Zhongzhou, which is a later story.

Zheng Jieming and others stayed in the abandoned villa of Lan Yuting for nearly two days, and after six battles, large and small, the food ran out again, and after the house structure was seriously damaged, there were many collapses, and it was difficult to live again.
Now there are only two options left, either evacuate or go out in search of food to bring back, but the latter is too risky.
"Lao Wang, you don't have a choice this time, we must all break through." Zheng Jieming found Lao Wang alone, and the two negotiated in the hall shared by the two suites, "Now we don't have much food left. â
Zheng Jieming even directly and calmly showcased, "Even if you don't want to move out together, there is no better way now, even if you send someone out to search for supplies, it is difficult to guarantee that people can come back safely." The tree moves the dead and the person moves, leaving behind a sure dead end. â
"Okay, evacuate over there? How to evacuate? Although Wang Yueshan was reluctant to let Fang Xinping and the newborn Wang Chengnan toss around, the matter had come to this point and he had to accept Zheng Jieming's opinion.
The two had a brief discussion and came to a mutual consensus.
Hua Feng squatted alone behind the door and smoked, he had been reluctant to smoke the cigarettes in the iron box, and only took out and smoked half of the cigarettes when the danger was approaching and he could be prepared.
Zheng Jieming pushed open the door and patted Hua Feng's shoulder.
"Wang Yueshan agreed to evacuate together, everyone is ready to prepare, and hurry up to transfer while it is dawn."
Hua Bong stood up from the ground, nodded, and calmly took the last two puffs, until the cigarette had burned to the end, and then shook off the cigarette butt.
"Okay, I'm going to wander again." Hua Bong also said extremely calmly.
"This time it's in the ruins of the city that has been burned by the flames, there is no cover, and it seems that the zombies have not been reduced by the carpet bombing, so everyone get ready." Zheng Jieming explained to the people in the suite.
Ready? Zheng Jieming himself felt funny about what he said.
What are you ready for? Get ready to fight, and at the same time get ready... Downsizing?
On this escape, everyone seemed unusually calm, everyone quietly packed up the clothes that could be packed and a small amount of residual water, and everyone gathered in the common hall of the suite.
"Now it's different from usual, the street can't be so calm anymore, after a while, everyone will still go to the back compartment of the truck, I, Wang Yueshan, and Geng Zhi are in the front seat, everyone sit firmly, there will definitely be more bumps along the way." Zheng Jieming explained to everyone.
"Which way are you going?" Wang Xinrui asked.
"Let's go west. To the east of the northern metropolis is still a big city, and it is near the sea, so there is nothing to hide. There are mountains to the west, and if you're lucky, there may be fewer zombies. Zheng Jieming thought for a while and said.
"Ready?" Zheng Jieming asked.
Everyone nodded calmly.
"Okay, Geng Zhi, Wang Yueshan, Hua Feng, Guo Songtao, the four of you go downstairs with me, and go to open the way with cold weapons first! Others come out and get ready. â
The four of them went out, transferred the ladder erected between the second and third floors to the first and second floors, and then used a knife to remove the zombies on the first floor as safely as possible.
Their goal was to escape from the north door of the kitchen and quickly into the truck.
