Chapter 82: A Journey to the End of the World
Although Xiao Dai shrank her head behind Chu Nan, her voice was too distinctive, and the suggestion she put forward, Li Gang couldn't be the master, and the person who naturally did the master jumped out, a middle-aged man with golden eyes stood behind the soldier, stroked the frame, and said in a serious tone:
"I am the commissioner of the 44th Army stationed in Lexian County, I think a few people from Anding, naturally also understand the situation of the large-scale westward migration of zombies, the 44th Army for the sake of the safety of the people in the entire basin, decided to blow up all the bridges that enter the basin from the west, build fortifications, and block the passage of zombies into the basin, I think, I don't need to explain more, a few people should also understand the meaning of this, right?"
Hearing what the commissioner with a dogskin hat said on his head, Chu Nan's face showed joy, but he was immediately pushed down by Xiao Dai, her appearance and figure were perfectly displayed in front of these people, and several soldiers in the front row gasped, this Nima is called a woman, in contrast, the women who are wearing fat bears among those refugees are completely polluting their eyes. (Of course, they used to think it was great.) )
The 44th Army did a few stupid things back then, the first thing was to blow up the bridges in the west and south, the tunnels in the north, and leaving only the waterway in the east to lead to the hinterland of the Central Plains, which sounds like the best means, not only to defend against zombies, but also to consolidate their power in the Great Basin, and maybe to restore human civilization in the Great Basin.
But for one, no one could have imagined that ice storms would ensue and drag the entire Great Basin to the point of migration.
Second, this will block the survival path of the refugees from the north, south, and west, not to mention the west, which is the main attack route of the zombies, and almost no one has the courage to fight against the corpse tide, but the millions of refugees in the south and north are in a desperate situation, and it can be said that the 44th Army is one of the culprits of this huge population loss.
Third, after the Ice Age, the migration route of the survivors of the Great Basin was only to the east, which was the starting point of the insect plague, and only 30% of the survivors survived along the way.
Three reasons made Xiao Dai feel powerless, she was not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, nor was she as resourceful as Wolong and Phoenix, she could only do her best to avoid this kind of tragedy within the scope of her own strength.
And the saddest thing is that their operation is only half completed, and the vast majority of people are extinguished by the sudden death wind of the ice storm, and the unfinished project left behind gives the refugees a hope of escape, which also increases the difficulty of their escape, from west to east, from south to north, and there are refugees frozen to death along the route everywhere along the way.
"What if I don't agree?"
The faces of the commissioner and Li Gang turned pale, originally thinking that good words could impress these outlaws (synonymous with mercenaries), but they didn't expect that they wouldn't even give this face.
"Standard petty citizen thinking!"
The commissioner's eyes glared at Xiao Dai twice as fiercely as digging meat, this sassy woman must not be the leader of this team, and it is estimated that she also climbed up by selling meat, so she coughed and said:
"I want to see your captain."
"This is our captain!"
Chu Nan smiled on the side, not understanding why Xiao Dai refused such a good thing, but he didn't dare to oppose her.
“…… This is the military order of the commander of the 44th Army, if you don't cooperate......"
Xiao Dai stopped talking nonsense with the commissioner, took out two Delinsey and shot Li Gang's feet four times in a row, which means that he doesn't talk nonsense and doesn't accept it.
The two points and five zeros on the steelback beast were aimed at the soldiers, and the commissioner immediately fell silent, Li Gang looked at this situation, and he was also a figure who could afford to put it down, so he endured it and said:
"There's no need to make a fuss like this, this beautiful young lady, can this deal be done on your terms?"
Xiao Dai nodded, called Kansai over, gave up a cement truck, and recruited a group of refugees, no matter how you calculate, they all lost, not to mention, most of these refugees are old, weak, sick and disabled.
Strange mercenary group, single young and strong don't want it, as long as the kind of dragging, the refugees are not willing to go to the west, everyone wants to nest in the basin, and accept the protection of the soldiers, isn't it?
So I enthusiastically signed up, and in this group of people to choose, taking a young family as an example, I selected four young men and women who dragged their families with old and young.
Liao Cheng, 29 years old, a mechanic at an auto repair shop in Lexian County, struggled to survive in Lexian with his father and a 3-year-old son.
At the beginning of the end of the world, he could only barely make a living by tinkering, but when the army entered Lexian, the characteristics of his technical work were discovered, and the army was in need of talents like him, and after helping the army repair dozens of vehicles, he naturally got the name of an engineer.
It stands to reason that such a person should have a very nourishing life in the last days, but when Liao Cheng learned that he was going to blow up the bridge, he showed an uncooperative attitude, if it wasn't for this sudden hailstorm, he should have been escorted into the smashed prison car and followed the army west.
Ye Yutong, 21 years old, calls himself a farmer.
After graduating from university, he did not work for enterprises and institutions, but returned to the ravines and opened a farm, specializing in raising wild boars, pheasants, wild ducks and the like.
For the first two years, she hid with her parents in a ravine and a ravine, living on pickled pigs, chickens, ducks, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wild vegetables in the field, and accepted a group of refugees from outside the mountains.
But recently, when the food ran out, the group of refugees began to expose their temperament, and some scumbags with bad intentions began to pay attention to Ye Yutong, but Xiao Ye was not brainless, and did not reason with them stupidly, but escaped with his parents overnight, and survived by picking up garbage and helping the army carry materials in Lexian County.
**Snow Dance, 19 years old, uh, jobless vagrant, typical non-mainstream.
Parents and grandparents all died in the tide of corpses, and what is difficult for her is that after the non-mainstream escaped from the Internet café, the first thing that came to mind was the grandfather in his hometown, who stole a motorcycle and rushed back to his hometown to rescue the 90-year-old grandfather.
In the past two years in Lexian County, he has joined several mercenary groups, relying on the collection tasks, raid missions, and rescue tasks in various places in exchange for food to support the 90-year-old grandfather to the 92-year-old high life, although the old man looks very thin, but when he mentions his great-granddaughter, he is spitting on his chest and praising him.
Yan Shaochuan, 36 years old, is a senior traveler.
Not only am I a travel friend, but my mother, wife, a son and a daughter are all travel friends, it is said that I used to be a futures maker, very rich, and spent half my life earning enough money for a lifetime, taking my mother, wife, son, and daughter all over the world.
Before the end of the world, I happened to be replenishing in Yidu, and before I could get on the road, I encountered a zombie siege.
But fortunately, a traveler is a traveler, dare to drill anywhere, in order to avoid a nuclear strike, the family all nested in Yidu a decades-old underground air-raid shelter, relying on the ability to survive in the wild, as a trap to catch mice, in his own words, now he speaks with a smell of rats.
In addition to the above four people, the others are either single, or the reputation is not good, which provokes some men who boast of being able to fight and resist:
"Damn, are you choosing a member of the league, or choosing a national moral model, who can be soft-hearted and can mix in this world."
"Less TM, believe it or not, open an eye in your head!"
San'er never used his own brain to think about problems, he took the initiative to give up thinking, everything that Xiao Dai said was right, and what was wrong was also right.
After selecting the team members, the team decided to leave first, and when Xiao Dai got into the pregnant woman's car and postponed her departure, the commissioner yelled at her unconvinced:
"Woman, leave a name, as long as you mix in the big basin, you will have to deal with it in the future."
"It's up to you to be worthy, and I'll talk about it when you're still alive in a month."
Xiao Dai is not polite, this person is the most hated kind of goods in the 44th Army in the future------ ideological and moral education committee, referred to as the ideological committee, these ideological committees, whether they have the ability or not, whether they want prestige or not, rely on a belly of bad water and full of complaints to constantly make trouble for the survivors, and they are also called the spiritual pillars of mankind, nonsense.
"Let's go!"
The commissioner took the soldiers to the truck, and as a member of the ideological committee, it did not matter whether he sat in the truck or not, and it was very important to highlight the absolute ideological control position of the ideological committee.
As soon as Li sat in the cab, before he started the car, the commissioner said with a cruel face:
"Lieutenant, send a report to Liao Yingzhang, we have found a group of extremely dangerous terrorists heading towards them."
Li Gang was stunned, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't help it when he remembered the identity of the other party, so he had to order the communication soldier to send a report to Shangfeng.
"Why don't you join them, they're saving humanity!"
Morin rushed into the pregnant woman's car with an unhappy face, forgetting his identity and status at all, and questioned Xiao Dai, who handed the steering wheel to Cersei and said with a flat face:
"I said they were killing themselves, do you believe it?"
Of course he didn't believe it, but he was stunned by Xiao Dai's terrifying expression, and he suddenly recalled that if it weren't for Xiao Dai, his two fathers and sons would have become lonely ghosts in the northwest by now, so he suppressed this dissatisfaction, and explained a little unwillingly:
"I just think we should help them a little bit more, even if we don't join them."
"You'll understand later, I don't want to image a dictator in your minds, but you will."
Mo Lin hurriedly got out of the car, he felt that he even had to stand in front of Xiao Dai and speak.
"Have you really received God's prophecy?"
Cersei was a little incredulous, although she was a believer in God, she was skeptical of the so-called God of Light, and Xiao Dai shook her head noncommittally, prophecy was a bit ridiculous.
The convoy came to Lexian, the county town in the northwest of the Great Basin, as desolate as if it had suffered a nuclear explosion, Xiao Dai looked at the houses crushed by icebergs along the way, the corpses on the road and the blood stains flowing with the ice water, and the huge number of military vehicles that are now scrap metal, the city has been completely abandoned.
According to the cat, he found the Agricultural Bank of Lexian and two credit cooperatives, which had obviously been robbed, and all the cash was gone, and after searching in the county for a long time, no trace of gold was found, so Xiao Dai could only give up.
As soon as she left Lexian, Xiao Dai found that the existing highway could still be used, so she commanded the convoy to get on the highway.
After a short period of hailstorm, there were some fleeing vehicles left on the highway, their luck was not good, they were smashed into debris by the hailstone, and their arms outside the debris hung low, as if they were struggling to grasp the last glimmer of hope, but still could not grasp it.
The convoy ran more than 70 kilometers on the highway, stopped in front of a viaduct that was broken by icebergs, and had to retreat 3 kilometers nearby, find a fork in the highway and get off the highway.
They spent eight days on the dilapidated national highway, either piled up with battered cars or icebergs that could not melt in the low temperature, and after eight days came to the next town, Shijia, ------, and experienced many difficulties that they could not overcome in the middle.
Since the ice storm has not yet fully arrived, some polluted water sources have been blocked by glaciers and begin to gush out from all sides, breaking down dilkes in disrepair and overflowing national highways, forming large-scale water-damaged road sections, and even some sections of the road directly become fast-flowing rivers.
Crossing the river by feeling the stones, in such a situation, even the brutal steel-backed beast could not rush up, who knows what kind of terrain is around the vast ocean that cannot be seen clearly, maybe it is a swamp that causes the vehicle to sink deeply.
Yan Junlan and Sanji jointly became the pioneers of the team, groping the road ahead while guiding the team forward, and when the team finally came to Shijia Town, they were completely dumbfounded.
The town was completely covered by a huge iceberg, no one could escape from it, the convoy could not pass, there was no way to continue around, the national highway was blocked, they could only get out of the car and discuss countermeasures.
Deliberation came and went, and in the end it was violently passed, and the iceberg was blown up with C4.
Xiao Dai bought a lot of explosives, due to the limited inventory, even **, **, black explosives were out, fortunately, the team was quite manpowered, and there was a lot of movement in Shijia, and when the iceberg was blown up, a little snowflake began to float in the sky.
"Hell, it's snowing!"
Xiao Dai touched the snow-white ice crystals that fell from the sky, counted the days, it's almost there, there is still a month, and the head wind of the ice storm should come, at that time, outside the Zijiang base, Yang Xiong, a guy with developed limbs and a simple mind, should be waiting there.
