A whole hundred people jumped into the Yangtze River, fluttering countless splashes, at first it was okay, they slowly swam to the center of the river, although they were relatively scattered, but no one was injured, the waves gradually got bigger, many people panicked, loosened their life-saving straw, sank into the river and never appeared again, and some people went with the flow, I don't know where to float, only a small part of them went up to the other bank, these people always swam to the other side, and finally let them survive under the support of tenacity and perseverance.
Only 37 of the 100 people could reach the other side, and the remaining 63 people disappeared into the Yangtze River, and the unobstructed view of the river made tens of thousands of people see it all, and the 63 percent loss rate made most people desperate.
Whether it is the poor or the men who have experienced several bloody battles, they are silent for a while, no one can guarantee that they are the thirty-seven percent, this is a more dangerous road to hope, and at the same time the road to death.
Zhang Xiaoqiang also saw clearly on the side, two-thirds of the loss was also not acceptable to him, 50,000 people crossed the river, and more than 30,000 people were lost, what kind of concept is this?
The second batch of poor people were ready to go into the water with the tools they were ready to gamble on, seeing those people using their own lives to fight for that one-third of the opportunity, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a little blocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked those people to stop, life was too fragile, and it was not yet the last moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to continue to fill in the Yangtze River.
"You all have to think of a way, we can't go on like this, otherwise we will die in vain if we stop the fallen soldiers in the gathering place......"
In the open-air meeting field, Zhang Xiaoqiang brought Wang Le and several of his deputies over, trying to find a way to reduce the casualties, Wang Le pondered with the others, they were not very concerned about the life and death of those poor people who were engaged in technology, but Zhang Xiaoqiang spoke, and they had to think about it.
"Rope, use the rope, and get the others up together, so that most of them won't drift away, and the strength of the people is great, maybe ......"
One of them first thought of a way, although using a rope may not be foolproof, but it is better than those people who scatter across the river like ducks, Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, this is also no way.
"There are a lot of scrap cars around here, and we can remove all the inner tubes and inflate them and tie more than ten tires together so that we can make a raft ......"
Another way, but it is much stronger than tying it with a rope, a large tire can seat two to three people, ten tires can transport dozens of people, and the safety is also greater than just now, at least the loss ratio will be controlled below 10%.
With the emergence of two people, other people's brains suddenly became lively, and various methods emerged one after another, which made Zhang Xiaoqiang a little entangled, there are good and bad methods, I can't tell which method is the best, but it can't be used all, and it is not advisable to test it with human life.
"I found that there are a lot of barges on the riverside, these barges are used as docks, but they are fixed to the shore with steel cables, if you take off the steel cables, these barges will float away, these barges are about the same size as a flat-bottomed boat, and there are two or even three floors up and down, I think, a barge can carry 200 people is not less."
Zhang Xiaoqiang heard Wang Le's attention, his eyes lit up, he stared at Wang Le without blinking, and asked repeatedly:
"Are you sure?"
Wang Le was thoughtful before saying it, nodded his head, and said:
"The barge has no power, we can be used as a barge tied to the back of the ferry's butt, this is not a difficult thing, if we are not afraid of the barge disjointed, we can tie two, or even three, as long as both sides are ready, I believe it will not delay much time, if there is no problem, our capacity will be twice as much as before, of course, it can only be used with the population, vehicles and materials may not work, I am afraid that the center of gravity is not stable......"
"Needless to say, just do it, and besides, using tires to make a raft can also be done at the same time, and then tie the raft to the barge, the number of people crossing the river can increase by one or two hundred at a time, and it is more than three thousand ...... a day."
Zhang Xiaoqiang finally realized that the way was to come up with, but also forced out, when the poor people used their humble lives to show Zhang Xiaoqiang what it means to struggle, one by one the methods finally became a feasible plan, when more than 500 poor people sat on barges and rafts that did not even have guardrails and crossed the river with the movement of the ferry, all the poor people and men cheered, this is the hope of life for them, at this moment, everyone was grateful to Zhang Xiaoqiang, it was Zhang Xiaoqiang who let them escape the catastrophe.
The doubling of the transportation volume can allow 20,000 people to cross the river every day, and the zombies will not come until the middle of the night tomorrow, that is to say, they have nearly 30 hours to transfer, one hour is 1,000 people, 30 hours is 30,000 people, plus the advance personnel who crossed the river before, more than 80,000 people can be transferred to 35,000 people, although there are still almost 50,000 people here, but as long as they hold on for two days, maybe everyone can cross the river...... At the same time, Huangquan also connected with the zombies, this time all the Huangquan belts are mobile troops, just like Zhang Xiaoqiang eliminated the first Z-type zombie in J City, they are one hundred and fifty meters away from the periphery, and they do not extinguish the fire to launch a blow to the zombies, just like peeling an onion, cutting off layers of zombies.
Hundreds of casualties were caused by each step forward of the zombies, and there were constantly transports in the rear to transport ammunition to the fighters in front, and the fighters operating the machine guns and vehicles were also replaced in turn, so that hundreds of heavy machine guns always fired at full strength.
That's not all, Zhang Xiaoqiang also brought out the firepower platform brought out from the base, with enough parts and spare barrels, the quadruple that was already about to reach the limit was reinvigorated with firepower, and the four long tongues of fire dealt more than twenty heavy machine guns to the sea of zombies.
The frequency of the original use of the 37 cannon is not very high, compared to the quadruple installation, the crew of the 37 cannon has not achieved any proud results, although in the name of the gun, the role is not as good as the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, but when it faces the sea of corpses, the replenishment of infinite ammunition makes it like a furious fire dragon, and the huge continuous cannon sound is like the shock of a train.
The quadruple can break countless zombies into pieces, and the 37 cannon will blow up countless zombies in the air, plus the scattered shooting of the 37 cannon, it can easily twist the zombie formation like a wall and a mountain.
Zombies will lose hundreds of troops every time they take a step forward, from the zombies to the defensive position in the dock area is not more than dozens of kilometers, if the ammunition can keep up, the guns do not consider the loss, and all kinds of materials are invested without care, I am afraid that no matter how many zombies will become old corpses on the ground.
One million rounds of Type 52 heavy machine gun bullets, more than 5,000 Sanqi armor-piercing incendiary bombs, and more than 10,000 rounds of 14.5 mm armor-piercing shells were empty in one afternoon, and the zombies' troops were destroyed by nearly 200,000, although they are not comparable to the roadside bombs made of 122mm grenades, but they are enough to hurt the Z2 zombies, especially this Z2 is a more cautious zombie, for any large-scale casualties, this Z2 zombie must hesitate and be ready to save his life at any time.
From the gathering place to here, it is n times farther than from the gathering place of WH Road, although there are zombies added to the sea of corpses along the way, but until now, the sea of corpses has not passed through any city, and there is no way to talk about large-scale soldier replenishment, and the replenishment of more than 100,000 zombies is not enough for the sea of zombies to be consumed in the river of the gathering place.
One blow after another, let this new Z2 zombie be careful and careful, as if cooperating with Zhang Xiaoqiang, leaving Zhang Xiaoqiang a lot of time in vain, this time is no exception, the loss of nearly 200,000 zombies in three hours, almost about one-tenth of the remaining strength of Z2, and here, without a steady stream of replenishment troops in the direction of WH, the zombies are a little lacking.
When night came, Zhang Xiaoqiang was persuading Mu Peipei in his tent, Zhang Xiaoqiang hoped that Mu Peipei would cross the river first, before that, he had sent the women's barracks across the river to organize a defense on the other side of the river to guard against scattered corpses that might appear on the other side of the river.
Mu Peipei, who was pregnant, became unreasonable, as if suddenly her IQ plummeted, and her EQ increased infinitely, no matter how Zhang Xiaoqiang persuaded her, Mu Peipei didn't go over, and for a while she said that she wanted to guard against Zhang Xiaoqiang from finding another woman, and for a while she said that she would give birth to the child on the Jiang side, and also threatened Zhang Xiaoqiang, saying that she would advance and retreat with him, so that Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to cry without tears, it was not easy for him to be a father.
In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not succeed in persuading Mu Peipei to cross the river, but was caught by Mu Peipei, and had to sing to coax her to sleep.
Mu Peipei fell asleep with a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was sweating profusely, fled as soon as possible, and between Mu Peipei's sleep, the promise of holding her hand and accompanying her until dawn was naturally forgotten by him, and at the same time he prayed in his heart that if Yuan Yi and Shangguan Qiaoyun were pregnant in the future, they would not make any trouble.
Zhang Xiaoqiang made the last inspection before going to bed, but saw countless lampposts in the distance tearing the darkness apart, and a long convoy came from a distance. The direction of the convoy was the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where there were many settlements and a small city, Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered that Ding Luo and Zhao Deyi led a large team of 400 people to find Chinese medicine for Mu Peipei, but he didn't expect that they would only come back now, and the number of vehicles had almost doubled tenfold.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know what happened during the search, so he walked over to the convoy, stood at the guard post and waited until the convoy came back, a military vehicle suddenly accelerated, and when he arrived at the outpost, he braked suddenly, and saw Zhao Deyi rushing out of the car and rushing to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Brother cockroach, zombies are running in one direction......"
