Volume I, Section 47 Arrangement
The composition of this group is very complex.
There are ordinary citizens, there are hawkers, there are chengguan, there are traffic police, there are also thieves and gangsters, in short, they all get together to survive. They may have once been hostile to each other because of their profession and social status, but now they must work together to deal with the terrifying zombies.
Gray Shirt is a twentie-something thug.
He claimed to be a gang boss in a certain area west of the city, and he could manage several streets.
No one knows what the gray shirt is called, and he calls himself by the nickname "Leopard Head".
Usually when he is bored, "Leopard Head" always likes to talk about "Water Margin" with others. From time to time, a few sentences were mixed in the words, such as "Song Jiang's white-eyed wolf", "The government is because there are too many people like Cai Jing", "Civil servants are all / he/mother / is Gao Yu" and the like. He always tells people how beautiful Lin Chong's wife is, how she is toyed with by Gao Yu's son, all of this is a true portrayal of himself, Lu Tao doesn't know if Lu Dao "Leopard Head" has a soft spot for this plot? Or is that really what happened? But a few things are certainββββ "Leopard Head" did not even graduate from elementary school; Except for Lin Chong, Song Jiang, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song, none of the other characters in "Water Margin" are known; This guy is very, especially a young and beautiful woman, and when it comes out of his mouth, it is either "sassy/forced" or "cheap/goods".
As for the other young man who was dressed differently, with an explosive weird and strange hairstyle, with a bit of a rustic atmosphere, his name was Li Shunfa, and he was a miscellaneous man in a hair salon.
Of course, he describes himself as a "very professional barber".
But some people in the team always like to call him "XX area washing, cutting and blowing".
Lu Tao has a unique arrogance as a scholar.
He instinctively didn't like these people, but he had to join the team because of the zombie threat.
Lu Tao's elegance and arrogance are also unacceptable to others, and his handsome and indifferent appearance even causes some people to be jealous. However, when he killed four zombies alone in an encounter, there was suddenly a lot less cold talk from behind. People such as "Leopard Head" are also willing to get close to him from time to time
The words just now obviously seriously hurt the self-esteem of the "leopard head". He felt that Lu Tao had unceremoniously deprived him of what he valued most in his heart. Although it is only a layer of disguise used to bluff and intimidate others.
"I can do whatever I want. You little doll don't make a tone in front of me. Don't think that you can kick your nose in the face if you usually give you a little face, and wait for Lao Tzu to get a gun."
"Then you goββββ"
Lu Tao interrupted his vicious words, pointed at Su Hao and the others who were standing opposite, and sneered lazily: "It's better for you to go over and find that person." You saidββββ this is your territory. β
To the north of this gas station is the camp where the team lives. The distance is very close, and people usually get some gasoline from here, mixing it with combustibles such as wood to cook rice and boil water. Speaking from his heart, Lu Tao was reluctant to distribute gasoline to outsiders, but he was not crazy enough to think that he could be an enemy of Su Hao, he just said it casually.
Li Shunfa, a professional barber, stood next to him, his mouth open, and he looked stupidly.
He doesn't care who wins or loses between Lu Tao and "Leopard Head", and it has nothing to do with him. But no matter who loses, he will follow the winner and stomp on the loser a few times.
One: For fun.
Two: For fun.
Three: It's still for fun.
Lu Tao has never liked these people, thinking that they are ignorant and arrogant.
For example, just now, "Leopard Head"'s understanding of guns comes entirely from the movie, and his way of speaking basically imitates the new version of "Crazy Boy". If he really had to put a gun in front of him, he wouldn't use it at all, and he could even throw it away as scrap metal.
Thinking of the usual "leopard head" talking about Lin Chong's lady/sex/love/incomparable, Lu Tao only felt a sense of weakness and irritability. He has no family and no future aspirations. I live because of instinct, or I don't want to be used as food by zombies.
He was confused and didn't know what to do
His thoughts drifted away, and his expression became trance. The "leopard head" kept gritting his teeth and staring at Lu Tao, and immediately found that the light in the other party's eyes was becoming dim. He smiled coldly and pulled a three-edged spatula out of his trouser pocket.
"Leopard Head" decided to teach Lu Tao a good lessonββββ although he was very good at dealing with zombies, he didn't give himself face and didn't follow the rules. Poke a few holes in him, and you can also deter the beautiful cream man opposite! That's right, let them know that I'm amazing, and the beautiful girl next to me may also like Lao Tzu because of it.
Isn't that all the way in the movies?
Knock over the other party's boss with a knife, and then you can drive his car, use his ticket, strip naked and his horse!
That's the fucking life.
Carrying the knife and preparing to stab it hard, the "leopard head" felt a strong pressure in his earsββββ it was the roar of the engine from a distance, and the ground also vibrate. If it were a bustling city before the outbreak of the virus, there would have been such a strong shock. Now, the whole city is almost empty, people are dead and scattered, and even rats running through the empty and silent roads attract attention, let alone the movement caused by speeding cars.
"Leopard Head" turned around in astonishment, just in time to see two heavy tanker trucks turning around the street and speeding towards the gas station. The iron-grey body has a terrifying metallic texture, and the oval-shaped on-board fuel tank is reminiscent of scary terms such as "explosion", "fire" and "death". They roared, getting closer and closer, and only slowly slowed down until they approached the gate of the gas station.
The burly and strong Du Tianhao jumped out of the cab, he took a half-cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Lu Tao and the others quite strangely, then turned his gaze to Su Hao, strode over, and shouted in a hoarse and rough voice: "Boss!" Hurriedly called us over, is there any problem? β
Behind him, five more team members jumped out of the cabs of two cars. Heavily armed and armed with brand-new Type 95 automatic rifles in their hands, they quickly climbed onto the rooftops and occupied the commanding heights near the gas station. In just a few minutes, the entire gas station was already in the firing range.
Su Hao is not a professional soldier. But he had a close relationship with the military in the coming era, and he knew some common sense about training.
He looked at the three young people who were frozen in place opposite, opened the car door, took out the battery and handed it to Du Tianhao, and ordered in a flat tone: "Go control and turn on the power, drain all the oil here, and don't leave a drop." β
Two vehicles with a capacity of 30 tons are enough to transport the remaining gasoline and diesel in the underground oil depot.
Du Tianhao took the battery, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and stepped on it with his foot. He looked at the other side with a wicked smile, and handed the battery to Xinyan, who was standing next to him.
"It's up to you to do this kind of trickery. I'm just right to stand here and stare at the bad guys. β
As he spoke, he ostentatiously took off his T-shirt, revealing his burly and explosive pectoral muscles. In the harsh sunlight, the giant man's arms were raised with thick green tendons, and the surface of his exposed skin shone with oily light, like a sculpture made of steel.
He was well aware of Su Hao's way of doing things. Although it is not explicitly stated, the situation in front of us is clearly a confrontation. Du Tianhao didn't think that Lu Tao and the others had the strength to threaten himββββ they were very thin, and Lao Tzu had muscles. Tall, muscular physique and weaponry are more convincing than any verbal intimidation.
Lu Tao silently watched Su Hao and the others. Watch as they plug in the power, take out the thick soft oil pipe from the office, and connect the underground oil depot with the on-board fuel tank. With the roar of the "sudden" motor, the stock oil poured into the tank like an upside-down seawater.
The "leopard head" has long since put away his knife. His eyes widened as he watched this terrifying scene, yes, it was shocking indeed. He once again confirmed that the gun in the hands of Su Hao and others was a real thing, not a high-fidelity toy made of plasticized materials. Especially Du Tianhao, the man who is stronger than a bear and looks like a beast, made him really understand the description of those heroes in the romance novel.
Mom/forcedββββ even drank fifteen large bowls of wine, didn't spill a single pee, and Wu Song, who was drunk and crazy and beat the tiger to death, I'm afraid it's just that.
Also, Lu Zhishen's fat monk also has a prototype in real life. Pluck the weeping willow upside down and look at the guy on the other side whose arm is thicker than his waist, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to pull out the telephone pole.
Look at his thin and fleshy body, and then look at the thick legs like the steel pillars of others, which makes the "leopard head" very uncomfortable, and I also somewhat understand what Lu Tao will sneer at himself.
While it's still dark and you can't see any zombies on the road, let's go!
Lu Tao kept looking at Su Hao.
This attention is not due to hostility, but to interest and conjecture triggered by the similarity of the two men. Especially in appearance, Lu Tao felt that the other party might be younger than himself.
His guess was correctββββ the biological age of Su Hao's newly created body was only nineteen years old.
Lu Tao didn't quite understand, why did Du Tianhao and others want to respect Su Hao as the leader?
He clearly heard that Du Tianhao called Su Hao "Boss".
There were others, especially Shinyan, who was standing next to the buggy.
They don't have the contradictions of their own team, they seem to be united, they have fearsome guns, they know how to operate electricity, and they have maybe a lot more than they seem.
Perhaps, should I join them?
Su Hao didn't notice the departure of Lu Tao and the others. All his attention was focused on two tanker trucks pumping fuel.
It is a large gas station.
After Xinyan turned on the power supply, it was found that the total capacity of the underground oil tank was as high as 120 tons, and there were more than 90 tons of gasoline and diesel of various labels, far exceeding the normal load of the two tank trucks.
At 4:26 p.m., two tankers were full, and the other two tanker trucks, which had received orders and had arrived, slowly drove into the station to continue pumping the remaining oil stocks.
The noise from the pump is very loud, which inevitably attracts some zombies. The team members who were standing on the roof of the building were already familiar with the surrounding terrain and after confirming that there were no large groups of corpses nearby, they sent three people to deal with the zombies that were approaching. At the same time, he contacted the bank building by radio and requested that two combat teams be sent over as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the oil extraction work.
Su Hao knocked a zombie to the ground, broke his hands, and pulled out a sufficient dose of rotten fungus hormones. This pale brown bio-liquid still appears cloudy in the sun and looks like a cappuccino mixed with too much milk. However, Su Hao keenly discerned: the tube of putrefaction hormone in his hand was slightly darker than the first tube of the same substance that he had just come to this world.
Metal needles are inserted into the hormones extracted by the pineal gland, which inevitably carries some of the body fluids of the zombies themselves. It may be fluid in the cranial cavity or pus with a large amount of virus. These liquids do not affect the purity and effectiveness of the putrid hormone, but they can indicate the strength of the extraction target in terms of color. According to the general law of judging the strength of monsters in the future world: the deeper the body fluid, the stronger the monster.
That's right! The zombies of this world are gradually evolving with the transition of time.
This is not an illusion, but a reality that is clearer than anything else.
Su Hao sighed secretly, put away the hose containing the hormone, and seriously told Du Tianhao, who was standing next to him: "Don't delay too much time, pay attention to vigilance, and retreat immediately once you find a large group of corpses." We need fuel, but I don't want to see anyone pay the price for it. β
Du Tianhao nodded thoughtfully, he kept shaking his hands with each other, squeezing the bone joints and making a crisp "crackling" sound.
Silver bone, coupled with Su Hao's blood, has a fusion strengthening effect on the human body. This change not only affects the strength and physical fitness, but also the appearance of the user. Take Du Tianhao as an example: this man, who has long stopped his physical growth, has grown nearly two centimeters in height in just a few months, the stratum corneum on the surface of his skin is thicker, and his muscles have become as heavy and strong as steel ingots. Especially in the typical "country" face, the masseter muscles are tightly stretched by the towering cheekbones, forming undulations between the mandibles. It looks cooler than Schwarzenegger's cold face in "The Terminator", more like a sculpture.
After explaining this matter, Su Hao turned around and got into the passenger cab of the off-road vehicle. Xinyan and Yang Lulu were already sitting in the car waiting, and the nine-year-old girl had an "Alpine" lollipop from a roadside store in her mouth, and asked in a milky voice, "Where are we going now?" β
Su Hao glanced at Xinyan and said calmly, "No. 1 gas station." β
According to the January 2020 Kunming traffic report, the total number of private cars in the city has exceeded 3 million as of December last year.
With a large increase in cars, it is necessary to have enough gas stations. Especially near the suburbs, the ring road is under construction, and there are even more petrol stations along the way. Compared with the inside of the city, the outside of the city is far from the residential area, the safety can be more or less guaranteed, and the traffic situation is not so congested.
As early as when the future world was planning to flee and transfer, Su Hao used the computer to investigate the situation around the city where the time and space landed in time.
He carefully considered the coordinates of the camp: it was close to the main traffic arteries and there was a well-watered river nearby. The soil is fertile, the geological structure can withstand the construction of deep buildings, and there are no natural disasters such as mudslides in the surrounding area. Due to the replacement of old and new roads, there are seven gas stations built in different eras around the campsite. Four of them are newly built, with distances ranging from 600 meters to 5 kilometers. The other three ceased operations half a year ago, and the owners of the petrol stations are in the process of scrapping and dismantling them.
The outbreak of the virus has disrupted the course of all affairs in the entire world. The abandoned petrol stations can no longer be dismantled, and they still retain complete electronic control equipment, as well as a complete set of underground oil tanks and connecting pipes. Two of the petrol stations are close to the main road leading to the suburbs, so a large number of freight trucks stop every day to refuel, and the capacity of the depot reaches 600 tons.
According to comprehensive calculations, there are seven new and old gas stations around the camp, with a total capacity of more than 2,000 tons.
Su Hao thought about all the problems he might have.
In order to cope with the ever-evolving zombies, he also needs more fuel. These abandoned gas stations may seem meaningless, but they are close to the field camp and can quickly mobilize large quantities of fuel in a short period of time. After all, in the event of an emergency, it is impossible for the survivors to drive trucks to a temporary gas station in the city dozens of kilometers away to refuel.
With the current number of personnel in the team, it is impossible to control all the gas stations in the city. But Su Hao didn't want to give up the remaining fuel in those gas stations. The solution is simpleββββ load the fuel away and fill it into the nearest gas station to the field camp.
Although this method is cumbersome, it is conducive to control and can also save human resources to the greatest extent.
As long as the underground oil tank is sealed to isolate the air, the fuel can be stored for a long time.
After all, the value of petrol stations is nothing more than fuel.
Once the underground tanks are emptied, they are actually abandoned buildings with alternative decorations.
"No. 1 gas station" is the name that Su Hao marked on the map. It is the closest to the field camp, just over 600 meters.
Dong Guoping transferred some construction machinery and three workers over. Together with 16 team members, a smaller camp was built on the existing building of the petrol station.
Compared with a few months ago, Xinyan's driving skills have improved by leaps and bounds. The flexible use of the clutch and the crazy trampling of the throttle bring the overall performance of the off-road vehicle to the extreme. Perhaps because her nerve centers had been strengthened, she didn't think these actions were wild, but just smiling and slamming on the accelerator and driving out of the city, speeding down the highway at a terrifying speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.
In less than twenty minutes, the SUV had already crossed the city and stopped firmly at the entrance of the No. 1 gas station.
The main building is still a tall and heavy wall, and three 20-meter-high guard towers are under foundational construction. Due to the lack of manpower, the area enclosed by the wall on the drawings is not large, which greatly shortens the construction time.
