Chapter 125: Finding Dynamite
The crowd around him silently moved a little distance, and Zhong Xia was highlighted, but his face was calm and not timid.
"The hotel we are in is a very good geographical environment, according to the characteristics of the zombies' actions, this is definitely an easy to defend and difficult to attack position, as long as we do and do two key points, we can always stick to this hotel."
Zhong Xia didn't mention the food issue, after all, what we have to discuss now is just how to deal with the zombie tide around tomorrow morning.
"The strength of the hotel's defense is the height, as well as the defensive points, for zombies with very low IQs...... For now, they retain the human instinct to climb, but for us, as long as we blow up the stairs, this is the first point, as long as this first point is completed, then the zombies can only watch us condescending, but there is nothing they can do to us.
Without the staircase, which can be used by at least five zombies to attack in parallel, we just need to make some more long-pole weapons and send people to guard the various positions that are likely to be attacked by zombies...... Assuming that they are extremely capable of climbing, then our people should seal up all the window openings, and at the same time send people to guard the rooftop, as long as our weapons are long enough and the number of defenders is large enough, if we stab them far away, those zombies will be as easy to deal with as dumplings. ā
After finishing speaking, Zhong Xia remained silent and waited for the opinions of others.
His proposal sounded very feasible indeed, and everyone couldn't help but imagine that without the stairs, those zombies could only take the risk of climbing the building.
And as long as everyone makes a long-pole weapon and stabs it hard from afar, then it will be effortless and high enough to make these offending zombies fall into a mess of meatloaf.
The 200 people were very interested and began to discuss, and for a while the rooftop was as lively as a vegetable market.
Ten minutes later, the thirteen people who temporarily served as the leaders of this team shouted loudly to silence everyone, and they also made a decision.
Among them, Nala's pale blue, blue sky eyes after the rain, stared at Zhong Xia and said, "The long-pole weapon and sealing the window can be carried out immediately, but if we want to blow up the stairs, we must get the explosives, do you have anything else to build?" ā
"Dynamite? Of course, I have to ask other people, after all, I am just an ordinary Chinese who comes to New York to visit relatives, and I should ask other people if there are these things nearby. Zhong Xia just got up and no longer stood up for Jian YƬ in a low-key manner, but this does not mean that he wants to be the focus of everyone's attention, which is not good, he is more used to hiding in the crowd.
Nala did not hide her slight disappointment on her face, and looked at Zhong Xia with a somewhat puzzled expression, this young Chinese made her feel that she couldn't see through it.
It's not like an ordinary person at all, how can an ordinary person be able to calm down like this after encountering this kind of apocalypse?
In the crowd, there were a few people who were before the end of the world, and some people from the dark road also stood up and provided several places with enough power explosives to blow up the stairs.
The team had thirteen leaders who were determined enough, and after identifying three of them, they immediately began to assign tasks.
After making a decision, one task after another was immediately released, although most of the people did not look good, but they knew that what they had to do was related to the safety of their own lives, and they did not have too many complaints, and they began to have a clear division of labor.
There were more than 200 people, and no one could not do things, and they were divided into groups by Nala, and they were responsible for each.
There are ten teams, a team of ten people, carrying fire axes and a small number of guns, these 100 people, are responsible for cleaning up all the zombies in the hotel before the zombie tide comes tomorrow, and the task is very important.
There are five other people, each on the rooftop, who is responsible for monitoring the movements of the zombies.
Because I don't know when the water and power will be cut off in the whole city, there are seven other teams, a team of five people, a total of thirty-five people, led by seven core leaders, to collect all the materials of the entire hotel, concentrate on a few rooms on the top floor of the city, and distribute them uniformly.
As for those children who are less than one meter tall, as well as the weak old people, there are more than 30 in total, and it is certainly impossible to assign too high-intensity work to them, but under the end of the world, it is impossible to raise people in vain, so they plus a few relatively thin and weak women, they also have to do some simple work.
Groups of people left, and the rooftop gradually became empty, and in the end only more than 20 people remained.
Zhong Xia kept an eye on it, and found that these more than 20 people looked very full of spirit, and it could be described as strong, and he suddenly vaguely guessed something in his heart.
"I know, everybody's scared, and so am I." Nala took a deep breath, looked around at everyone left behind with her light blue clear eyes, and said, "But we are now a team, and in the apocalyptic environment, we can only get more chances of survival if we are united." ā
"Now, we're going to go to these three places in three teams to find enough explosives to get back, and we're going to blow up the stairs on the second and seventeenth floors, respectively."
Going out, leaving the hotel that is much safer, to find explosives, is undoubtedly a dangerous task, but the more than 20 people who were left behind did not seem too afraid.
This time, the three teams, led by Nora, Luis, and Zorro, are all members of the leadership circle of this team, and most of them have seen their methods of killing zombies and have a certain prestige.
In the last days, the collapse of order, singing, dancing, writing, driving excavators, and other skills and abilities mastered by human beings, relatively useless, represent personal strength, can be recognized by others, there is only one strength, that is, can you kill zombies? How many can you kill?
The number of the three squads was seven, seven, and eight, and Zhong Xia followed the eight-person squad, and the captain was a young man with short flaxen hair, black eyes, and a resolute demeanor, named Zorro, an Englishman, who was the head of the diplomatic department of a multinational company before the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus, and had good marksmanship and a pistol.
The teams introduced their abilities and specialties to each other, and then went down to the hotel lobby and went to the three locations they had discussed earlier.
The place where Zhong Xia and his team are going is the local police station, and the distance from the Hilton Hotel is one and a half blocks, about four kilometers, and it takes at least an hour to go back and forth.
The journey is long, there are many dangers along the way, once you are surrounded by zombies, you will probably never come back, and the faces of the eight people are not very good-looking.
Among the eight people, Zhong Xia and the captain Zorro both carried a pistol, the other three were equipped with a fire axe, and two of them used a butcher knife in the kitchen, which was specially used to chop meat and bones, and there was no doubt about its sharpness and lethality.
As for the last man, he was more unlucky, and only found a stout baseball bat, but he was a fat black man, and in his strength the weapon was enough for self-defense.
For zombies, heavy blunt weapons are relatively less lethal to them, because they are almost immune to pain and dizziness after being infected by the virus.
"Gotta blow their heads off!"
Walking out of the hotel, the smell of blood in the air was wafting with Zorro, reminding everyone one last time.
Zhong Xia followed behind the team, he was a master of art and bold, and at this time, he was still observing and speculating on the behavior characteristics of the zombies.
"Zombies have an extraordinary sense of smell, but it seems to be only for exposing fresh blood to the air?"
The eight-person team walked quickly on the street for a few minutes, but it still did not alarm some zombies separated by more than ten meters, most of the zombies are now in a group, and the remaining small number of zombies choose to wander in the building.
At this time, the moonlight was falling in the night sky, and the street could see the road conditions clearly without street lights, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I made a long detour to avoid zombies a few times.
If you can't avoid it, you send someone to be a bait to attract it, and then everyone jumps out from behind the cars and other objects on the street, and shoots it together, and it is instantaneous, and the whole process will not make too much noise.
More than half an hour has passed, a block of three miles of road has passed, the remaining a few hundred meters, they are standing at the intersection, from the left, already saw the sign of the police station not far away.
"It's quite smooth, wait a ......!"
But at this time, the lights were still on in the police station, the gate was open, and there were more than a dozen zombies wandering near the door.
The real challenges and problems came, Zhong Xia's face was no longer relaxed at this time, he took a deep breath silently, and the Glock in his hand was clenched, he didn't plan to expose the M9, nor did he plan to contribute his three grenades.
Otherwise, this team didn't need to risk their lives to find explosives, three powerful grenades were enough to blow up a flight of stairs, but these things were Zhong Xia's life-saving guys, how could they be lightly exposed.
