Volume 1 Section 116 Small Town
The reason why I agreed to Wang Jundi's bloody revenge was completely out of deterrence.
There are still many people alive in the city.
Among them, there are many characters such as Chen Dongbo.
Su Hao didn't have the time or interest to find them out of the corners where they were hiding one by one.
The fat man's movements were very large, and Cao Rui sent many people to assist him.
This is actually propaganda in disguise.
Su Hao wants more people to know that he has the ability to help them. Whether it's a vendetta or a variety of disputes, you can be responsible for resolving them. At the same time, it also warns those with bad intentions to keep to themselves. If you are not willing to be on your side, then the ending and end are undoubtedly clear.
Su Hao is about to leave the city, but it doesn't mean that he is going to give up everything———— this has become his base. There is a steady output of people and resources, a strong fortress, a strong force, and all kinds of secrets that are carried from the future world and transformed from information into physical objects.
The basement of the "castle" is stocked with a large number of putrid hormones. This is Su Hao's biggest hole card.
He needed a stable rear with a constant stream of resources and all kinds of help.
Su Hao only took four people———— Xinyan, Tang Zi and Wang Jundi. And, of course, Yang Lulu.
The more people there are, the bigger the goal.
According to the original plan, only Xinyan and Yang Lulu followed Su Hao to Chengdu.
Although the "castle" has strong protection capabilities, it is not as safe as a large base with heavy guards. Moreover, Yang Lulu has already reached the age of going to school. If the schools in the Chengdu base can accept her, it means that Su Hao can send more children over and let them receive education in a safe environment.
Tang Zi has always called Xinyan "sister". No matter how she persuaded her, she made up her mind to go with Xinyan.
As for Wang Jundi...... The situation is a bit special. The two encounters before and after made the fat man have an extremely strong sense of admiration for Su Hao. He was outspoken and willing to do anything for Su Hao. That kind of fanatical energy is no different from that of a believer. The insane sense of reverence makes the black particles injected into the body increase dramatically. So much so that twenty-four hours later, Zhou Chen conducted the first blood sample test on the fat man, and was stunned to find that the number of black particles in his body had reached the "7" standard.
As long as it meets the "5" standard, it is already a "worker bee".
smashed the last steel drill into the ground, and coldly glanced at the bloodless and painful vengeance object under his feet. Wang Jundi breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, turned around, and strode towards the convoy that was waiting for him.
The rain followed the convoy out of the city until the evening, when the weather gradually cleared.
Su Hao refused the farewell ceremony of Lao Song and Du Tianhao and others———— this is just going to another city, and he will come back after all. Moreover, the connection between the two places will not be interrupted. There is no need to make a parting between life and death.
If, because of a meaningless ritual, snoopers discover the relationship between the "castle" and the other teams, then it really doesn't cost more than it gains.
The road from the city to the outskirts of the toll booth has long been cleared, and there is a wide enough road in each direction to be passable. Up to a thousand abandoned vehicles were pushed to the side of the road and lined up in one-way columns. They have been specially selected to be in good condition and ready for team members. As for the dilapidated cars, they were all pushed under the roadbed, left to the wind and rain, silently rusted and moldy.
On the highway, the originally dense vehicular obstacles gradually became sparse. They are still in the early days of the virus outbreak and were forced to abandon for various reasons. A lot of cars collide with each other. The rubber friction marks remaining on the ground indicate that many runaway vehicles were thrown out of the lane by inertia because of excessive speed, crashed into the guardrail, and fell off the roadbed...... Judging from the direction of the vehicles, they all want to escape the city, but because of the lack of fuel, mechanical failure, panic, and chaos, they are abandoned by their respective owners.
Bodies can be seen in many carriages. There are human stumps scattered in many places on the road. Most of them are only bones left, and a small number of them have been blown by the wind, turning them into blackened corpses on the surface.
When the convoy drove past a "Maitan", through the window, Su Hao saw a zombie sitting in the opposite compartment.
It was a man with a seat belt on his body.
He may have been bitten by a zombie before he got into the car, and then fled from the chaos of the city in a panic. The windows of the Magotan were closed, and the door bolts were pressed to the bottom. The beautiful streamlined body was squeezed in the middle by two wrecked trucks, unable to move, and the entire body was visibly deformed.
If it were a human, it would definitely loosen the seat belt and escape from the cab.
However, zombies have no intelligence and rely entirely on biological instincts. It has been tied up there. It saw the Su Hao convoy passing by. Hungry zombies with red eyes and howling with their mouths open in the sealed compartment. The gray, membranous eyes already had several fat white maggots crawling on them, and the hands that kept waving and wanted to smash the glass, but could only hit the "bang" sound back and forth...... It can't help but be reminiscent of an angry monkey.
Speed limit signs on the side of the road indicate that the maximum speed does not exceed 120 km/h.
The actual speed of the convoy can only be maintained at about 60 to 80 kilometers———— there are too many abandoned vehicles in the middle of the road, or several vehicles collide in a row, completely blocking the road. In this case, Su Hao and his teammates could only stop the car and clear the obstacles one by one.
They are fortifiers.
Releasing the brakes and dragging a multi-ton vehicle is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy drove off the highway and slowly stopped in a small town not far from Yuanmou.
It's a brand new town and you won't find its name on the map.
Like the "castle", the town is also close to a river and large tracts of farmland, and several new buildings are also sturdy triangular structures. The area is about one-twentieth of the "castle", and the outer walls are in the midst of intense construction.
This is the "New Yuanmou". There were only forty-six men stationed there. They are all "worker bees" who have received Su Hao's blood injections and have reached the "5th" standard of black particles. These people have a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, sufficient ammunition, and a strengthened physique, so they can completely protect themselves.
Zhou Chen's research on black particles is very profound. He found that even if people who have met Su Hao, as long as they have a sense of identity with him, the dominant consciousness can still play a role. is like the new outsiders in the "castle" who are guided by Lao Song. You only need to keep instilling Su Hao's leader image in the other party's mind, even if you haven't seen Su Hao himself, you can still become a real "worker bee".
The "castle" and the bank building are all stocked with the blood that Su Hao had drawn in advance. As early as half a year ago, he selected more than 10 team members whose black particle concentration reached the "U" standard or above, and each led 20 to 50 "worker bees" to Dali, Zhaotong, Yuanmou, Panzhihua and other places.
The wealthy consortia are co-opting refugees. Su Hao didn't intend to let them grow in vain. Now that she has obtained the prototype potion, she has the consciousness of her body and the black particles, and she has become the "Queen Bee". Su Hao naturally wanted to get more.
The small teams assigned to various places will set up new bases as soon as possible to bring in local refugees.
This way of gathering the population is very different from the forcible arrest of the wealthy consortium. They will be kinder to outsiders, and the line between friend and foe will be clearer. There are no slaves, there can be some collaborators, and it is also possible to coexist with other groups of survivors through material exchange. However, the cohesion of the entire team is extremely strong.
They are fortified people, "worker bees".
Early the next morning, the convoy continued in the direction of Chengdu.
Panzhihua, Xichang, Ya'an...... The journey of hundreds of kilometers did not enter the last stage until the afternoon of the third day. There are a total of four team bases along the way, all set up in the suburbs not far from the city. Among them, the number of "worker bees" in the "New Ya'an" stronghold is the largest, reaching 116.
All colonies are marked with black flags. Of course, that's not a substantive flag. Rather, it is a rectangle painted black and placed horizontally. They are either found on the outside of the colony's small building, or directly above the outer walls. The area is small and the location is difficult to notice. Only the "worker bees" recognized by the team understand the true meaning of this child-like pattern drawn by hand.
From Kunming to Ya'an, Su Hao has established a coherent transportation line.
The significance of the existence of these bases will gradually be revealed over time.
A large number of communication equipment was obtained from the city, and an unimpeded radio network was set up between the bases. Although the daily communication content is only a few fixed greetings, it is enough to ⊥ people feel warm.
We are not alone.
We have a lot of people, and it's a united collective.
Relying on this line, although Su Hao left Kunming, he still maintained control of the entire team. The required materials, information, and personnel can be replenished to the designated area in a short time.
Now, Su Hao has traveled to Chengdu to make up for this invisible line.
When Li Daoyuan entrusted Wu Guoguang to transfer the order, he once said that he could use the KD03 helicopter to send Su Hao and others directly to Chengdu.
Su Hao declined Li Daoyuan's kindness.
He had to personally walk the route he had set up and see with his own eyes the development of each stronghold.
At the beginning, when sending out various construction teams, Xinyan once jokingly said, "It's like a dandelion." When the wind blows, the seeds scatter and fall, take root and sprout. ”
Su Hao felt that this was very correct.
The seeds that were scattered at that time are now deeply rooted. They grow and bloom, producing beautiful white pom-pom plants. The wind is blowing again, and the small parachutes that fly apart will be more and more dense.
As for their names, Su Hao was a little lazy———— no matter what new strongholds were built in any area, they would add a "new" word in front of the old local name.
The convoy was parked on the side of the road.
Su Hao stood on the roof of the truck, holding binoculars in both hands, looking at the dark and dreary giant city on the horizon in the distance.
There are a lot of tall buildings with lights in the windows. On the highway that connects to the surrounding area, you can see the traffic passing through at all times. A large number of fortifications and barriers were erected around the city, and the shadow of large-caliber direct-aim artillery could even be seen on the top of the city walls. Helicopters and jets are often seen in the sky. They take off and land frequently in the city. This means that airways do have advantages that ground transportation cannot match———— at least, mutated creatures have not evolved wings.
"Are you sure we're going in?"
There is no need to look back, Su Hao also knows that it is Xinyan who is talking. He put down his binoculars and replied lightly: "Now that you have made your choice, there is no reason to avoid it."
He could have left it unattended and ignored the order issued by the army group command.
Su Hao is a researcher. He could have used this excuse to continue to stay in Kunming under the pretext of "scientific research".
If it were the early stage of the escape that had just completed the space-time landing, Su Hao would not hesitate to do so.
However, he had obtained the prototype potion and knew the future direction of this worldly realm. found that when he could manipulate the direction and development of events to a certain extent, Su Hao's ambition naturally swelled uncontrollably.
It's not his fault.
People have desires.
The convoy slowly drove towards the sprawling base city.
About 500 meters from the city wall, a cordon was set up guarded by armed soldiers.
As many as thousands of refugees crowded the intersection.
They were under the command of the soldiers and lined up in a long line.
Many of the refugees are on foot, carrying bags and water bottles, as well as a variety of indispensable daily necessities and equipment. Almost all of them had sticks and steel bars in their hands, and weapons such as axes or long knives stuck diagonally in and out of their backpacks. The refugees were unkempt and their clothes were shabby and dirty. When you get three or five meters away, you can smell an indescribable stench.
Outside the city and in the middle of the police cordon is a large open space. Barbed wire is pulled at the edge, and near the city walls, there is also a power grid more than three meters high. The outermost cordon was sprinkled with lime, and most of it had dimmed. There are a large number of triangular warning signs interspersed outside the line. The content is mostly death-related skeletons, with the bold words "Beware of Mines".
Refugees on foot were placed to be screened sequentially from the left side of the road. On the right is the vehicular passage, which is also blocked by hundreds of refugee-driven vehicles. In addition to the soldiers in charge of the check, there were six forts on the inside of the checkpoint, with the shooting range facing outward. There were machine guns and dozens of heavily armed servicemen.
Su Hao's status as a lieutenant played its due role———— he didn't line up, and drove the car directly close to the sentry post. The soldiers only made a cursory inspection of two vehicles and did not make any difficulties.
After carefully observing that Xinyan, Tang Zi, Wang Jundi, and Yang Lulu showed no signs of mutation, a young corporal smiled and handed him back the group army order and officer ID card presented by Su Hao.
"It's a long way from Kunming."
The corporal who has seen the various documents is correct and has a kind attitude. He took the cigarette handed by Su Hao and said seriously: "According to the order, soldiers can enter and leave the base city freely. However, your companions will have to be a little more troublesome———— they will have to re-enter their information and apply for new ID cards and residence permits. ”
Su Hao smiled: "What procedures are required?" ”
The corporal turned sideways, pointed to the huge sign placed on the checkpoint platform, and patiently explained: "All civilians who enter the base city must pay a hedro, or ten milligrams of silver bone. With these things, it is possible to get the right to live for half a year. The newly issued ID card will automatically enter the cumulative amount of materials paid. This is equivalent to personal credit. When you reach a certain amount, you can get a discount by exchanging it for things like weapons and food. Of course, if you have a Shilu Realm Yuan, it can also be used as an equal payment. ”
Su Hao nodded, took out a stack of banknotes from his jacket pocket, and asked, "What is the exchange ratio?" ”
"It requires silver bones and hedrons to be pegged to currency. One milligram of silver bone is equivalent to ten yuan, and one spar is exchanged for one hundred yuan. ”
The corporal counted Xin Yan and the others who were standing behind Su Hao: "Three adults, one child, a total of four hundred yuan." ”
Su Hao counted enough and handed it to the corporal, and joked with a smile: "Why, can't children buy half-price tickets?" ”
The corporal shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and lowered his voice and said, "Sorry, even if it's a baby, you still have to pay." This was an order from the headquarters of the army group. I have always suspected that the high-ranking officers who set the rules may have suffered from sexual dysfunction. They are likely to have insufficient sperm motility and are not capable of getting their wives pregnant. If you can't make up your own offspring, you will be jealous of other people's dolls. That's why these impersonal perverted rules are come up. Please forgive me for the responsibilities. ”
As he spoke, the corporal turned around, looked at the refugees waiting for inspection on the side of the road, and sighed heavily: "It's really difficult to do this kind of inspection work. Many people simply ignore these regulations and just keep asking to go into town. No matter how much we tried to dissuade them, they wouldn't listen. Collective punching happens almost every day. I don't want to use violence, but I have to maintain order. There were also some people who fled who handed over only a few silver bones, but asked the whole family to go in. We are allowed to shoot those who do not obey orders...... Last week, more than 200 refugees drove to get stuck in cars. The troops on duty killed a dozen people on the spot. The rest of the refugees mostly fled. Some people want to get through the minefield at night and go straight to the base. As a result, they were all blown up......"
Su Hao was silent for a moment, then reached out and took out two packs of "Hongta Mountain" from the back seat of the off-road vehicle and stuffed them to the corporal. Then he patted the other person on the shoulder and said with relief: "We are all working hard." Things will always get better. ”
The corporal smiled bitterly and nodded: "I hope so"
The convoy passed through the checkpoint and approached the gate of the base.
The walls were more than 100 meters high and almost twice as thick. This kind of steel-concrete structure building is actually an out-and-out fortification. It carries a large number of automatic weapons, and the density and firepower are surprisingly high.
This is a major feature of the base city and the greatest security for all residents.
At the entrance to the city, the convoy was again stopped.
