Chapter 80 Arming
Zheng Jieming arranged the corpses in an arc, and from one point of the arc led out a row of corpses, which meandered to the side of Qingli Street, close to a car.
The corpses were arranged in such a way as to avoid the bushes as much as possible, and they were kept as far away from the small building as possible.
"You lined up the corpses like the city walls, did you want to stop the zombies and stop them from advancing?" Ye Ran asked.
Zheng Jieming shook his head, he adjusted it a little more, and continued to extend the corpse from one end of the arc towards the bottom of the small building, and used the corpse to form a small circle at the end.
The overall arrangement of these corpses resembles a bow and arrow, the left end of the "bow" is slightly wider, and there are many corpses piled together, not far from the small building. The "arrow" was placed diagonally to the right of the middle of the bow, and the corpse stretched all the way to the side of the vehicle, and the corpse near the vehicle was the largest, piled up in three or two layers.
After doing this, Zheng Jieming was happy with everyone.
"Dong Yuan, guess what? Why is it arranged this way? Zheng Jieming turned his head towards Dong Yuan.
Dong Yuan shook his head.
"Come to think of it, I did this with you, but I didn't pay attention to the shape of the corpses at the time." Zheng Jieming was a little proud.
Jin Yue remembered the night at the police station, understood Zheng Jieming's intentions, and nodded.
"Oh! That's right! You're going to burn the corpse? I'm going to get the fire. Dong Yuan thought of the scene of burning corpses in the Anping Lake community, and seemed to suddenly realize, and turned his head to find a lighter.
Jin Yue glanced at Dong Yuan and stopped him.
"You're going to burn it now, we're not working in vain!" Jin Yue said.
"This method is good, fire the joint venture, you are Lu Xun's idea." Hua Bong also understood Zheng Jieming's intentions.
Zombies tend to light and fire, Zheng Jieming's arming, is to consider that if the zombies come to besiege the small building, it will ignite the corpse on the left, if the corpse can continue to catch fire, it will eventually detonate the car, if you are lucky, the sound of the car explosion and the fire of the corpse burning can guide the zombie towards the east of Qingli Street.
And this also solves the problem of corpse incineration: if the fire is ignited when there is no corpse tide now, it may attract the surrounding zombies.
"But the downside is obvious, in case a zombie catches fire, it can be troublesome to run around and ignite the surrounding bushes. Moreover, if a burning zombie rushes into the small building, or ignites the wooden structure of the doors and windows, it will be dangerous. Zheng Jieming frowned.
"And the explosion may in turn lure zombies from elsewhere." Wang Yueshan said.
"In general, there are not many wooden structures in this small building, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Jin Yue looked back at the floor, "And the only two windows on the north wall of this building are sealed with bricks, only the west side has a window, these corpses are piled up on the north side, it shouldn't pose a threat to the small building." ”
"If Xiaolou is really surrounded by corpses, the explosion is also a lot of lice, and it's the same if you come again, I think it's okay, if you feel that there is a hidden danger in the back, at most just move the car away." Habbong approves of this practice.
In order to prevent the ignition of the bushes and the unnecessary expansion of the fire, the bushes near the corpses were uprooted.
Zheng Jieming took a closer look and didn't notice anything else, so this line of fire defense was finalized.
Jin Yue found Li Yu's shoes on the ground and helped him take them upstairs, and Li Yu finally didn't have to walk barefoot or wear zombie shoes.
After solving the problem of corpses, the window has become a big hidden danger. At present, the entire small building has a large number of windows from the first floor to the third floor. Every window could be used as a passage for hunters or corpse boys. The hall on the first floor is better, only there are windows on the west side, there are no windows on the north side, and the only two doors are sealed by the original owner, which is a solid wall.
"Reinforcement of a broken window first." Zheng Jieming led everyone to the cellar. At this moment, a large amount of food in the cellar has been transferred to the third floor, and they have dismantled all the vacated wooden shelves, brought back the first floor, and nailed them to the window frames.
In order to prevent the fire zombies from igniting the wooden plank, they stacked several layers of bricks on the window frame on the outside of the wooden plank. Since there was no cement and the stacks were unstable, they didn't make them too high, but only used to keep the planks out.
"Do you need to reinforce the windows diagonally? You see that there was such a large-scale corpse tide yesterday, and the gate was not knocked down, this reinforcement method is quite reliable. Wang Yueshan studied the situation of the gate for a while and asked Zheng Jieming.
"The windows don't need to be so reinforced, it's too time-consuming." Zheng Jieming said, "The door is floor-to-ceiling, and the window itself is open on the wall. If you have this time, you might as well make another line of defense! ”
After the windows were reinforced, the whole hall was visibly darkened. The crowd also reinforced several other rooms with windows on the first floor.
"The kitchen is also a hidden danger." Zheng Jieming was always worried that people or zombies would sneak in through the water passage, so he led everyone to build a low wall in the kitchen corridor with bricks, and the two sides were tamped with soil as a block. In this way, even if someone or a zombie crawls in, it will face more obstacles and make more noises. And if everyone has to retreat from here, the low wall can also stop the zombies.
"You don't have to worry too much about this place, there is a garbage heap outside, no one should find it, not to mention that the drain is still blocked by a cabinet." Jin Yue felt that this mouth was very hidden and safe.
But Cheng Jieming was never at ease, and he was almost paranoid that the kitchen would be his biggest weakness.
"If someone comes in from the kitchen and uses this food pass to shoot, we will definitely be surrounded to death." Zheng Jieming finally put up a cabinet inside and outside the food mouth to feel at ease, and he hoped that even if people came in, the food mouth would be hidden behind the cabinet and would not be easy to be discovered.
Next, a group of people used the remaining bricks to build a set of waist-high low walls at the top of the staircase, and used earth to cover the sides. In this way, if there is another wave of corpses like yesterday, they will be able to have an extra line of defense, and the zombies will likely be blocked by the low wall.
What's more, as a last resort, you can also pick up the bricks in front of you and smash them, which is much more difficult than the soft chair legs!
The people carried everything that could be taken away from the first floor, including the remaining soil, to the second floor. Only two shopping carts are left on the ground floor for use when you go out. Two cars on the second floor as a backup.
The defense of the second floor was mainly channeled, and Zheng Jieming led everyone to block the corridor on the shorter side with debris, leaving only the corridor leading to the side of the study. They usually close the door of the study, but they cut a hole in this door, which is used to observe the situation in the house from the corridor, so as to avoid a hunter or corpse boy entering the window when no one is there, and the person will be plotted as soon as the door is opened.
Dong Yuan was very interested in this room, he was like an explorer looking for treasure in an ancient castle, rummaging back and forth, except for finding a large number of eagle books and a few Chinese books, he found no clues.
"What the hell! Zhang Xiushan also said that the owner of this room is awesome. But I only found foreign documents, and I couldn't see any identity. Dong Yuan complained.
"I haven't seen you in Chinese?" Ye Ran said, opened a book of "The Origin of Species", the blank space of the page was densely filled with eagle notes, he looked at it, the flower characters were too messy, and he simply threw it aside.
"Do you believe Zhang Xiushan's words?" Wang Yueshan said, his caliber was similar to Qi Xian, and he felt that Zhang Xiushan's speech was sometimes unreliable. He didn't have much interest in books, and his mind was only on the child in Fang Xinping's belly.
Zheng Jieming thought of the photo sandwiched in the notes, and he searched for the notes on his desk for a long time but couldn't find them. He put his head out the window, only to find that the entire notebook had been carried to the ground downstairs by the corpse tide, and it was a mess, so he gave up.
"It's just a normal photo, it's not a big deal." He thought.
The reason why they placed the table clock at the door of the study was to attract the attention of the zombies at the critical moment of the alarm clock, and the reason why it was placed in the corridor at the door instead of inside the house was to consider that even if the house was occupied by special zombies, they could still set the alarm clock outside the house and then open the door, saving time. What's more, keeping the alarm clock close to the corner of the wall can prevent the grandfather clock from being squeezed out of the window by zombies.
If there is an emergency around the corpse group again, you can turn on the alarm clock, open the door of the study, and hide in the third floor, once the zombies on the second floor are attracted by the alarm clock, enter the study, and jump down from the broken window!
Everyone transferred the materials on the second floor to the third floor. But the tool room is still on the second floor, in fact, the tools stored here are also the most common things: wrenches, screwdrivers, tape, voltage testers, etc., many of which are no longer used, and do not have the meaning of life and death for the time being. It was true that everyone was too lazy to move these things back to the third floor, and decided to tidy them up slowly when they had time.
The windows on the second floor, except for the study, are all blocked by various cabinets, which is also to prevent hunters and corpse children.
Only three floors and a rooftop remain.
At the entrance of the third floor, everyone used the most careful treatment, Zheng Jieming and Wang Yueshan removed all the messy debris piled up on the stairs, and directly stacked the two large wardrobes on the ground, so that once the zombies came, they would be blocked by the wardrobe, and people could carefully climb over from above, or move slightly to squeeze in.
At the same time, everyone also pulled a long rope in front of the corridor, the rope was about knee-high, the purpose of this was to stop the zombies running over, and once the zombies fell, it was very convenient for everyone to mend knives, sticks, and bricks.
"Is there a way to move the cabinet to the rooftop?" Jin Yue envisioned adding some obstacles on the rooftop as well.
Li Yu looked at the size of the entrance to the rooftop and shook his head, "It's too narrow, the cabinet can't be moved, unless it is dismantled." ”
The rooftop is not well armed, and all that can be done is to put a ring of wooden planks around the lid of the entrance to ensure that everyone does not get gnawed by hunters or corpse children as soon as they stick their heads out.
As for how to prevent being pushed down by corpse boys or hunters when the wind blows on the rooftop, everyone decided to take a double rooftop duty in the future, and if there is no accident, they must not leave within a two-meter radius of the entrance. With the assistance of telescopes, it is not difficult to achieve effective reconnaissance.
