Chapter 104: Set up camp
The convoy stopped for repairs, Shen Bai and the others also ate some dry food to satisfy their hunger, and then the convoy continued to set off again.
After continuing to drive along the road for more than two hours, the time had come to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
It's the hottest time of the day, the sun is shining, and the temperature is rising.
Shen Bai sat in his seat, holding a map in his hand, and was studying it carefully.
"At the current speed, we can almost reach the surrounding area of Nanhuai City by night, and if we want to continue forward, we will have to pass through a section of the city......
Pinching his eyebrows, Shen Bai thought in his heart, "It seems that today I have to camp outside Nanhuai City for one night, and tomorrow I will send a team of soldiers to explore the road to see if I can pass through the city smoothly, if not, I will have to make a detour." ”
If he could, Shen Bai didn't want to take a detour, because once he detoured, it would mean walking an extra hundred kilometers.
But although Nanhuai City is not as good as Nanxi City, it is also a large city with a population of nearly five million! There is also a high risk of rushing in.
While Shen Bai was thinking, Ada Wang's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.
After she answered, she walked to Shen Bai's side and said, "Commander, a large number of corpses have been found on the road ahead, the number is about six or seven thousand, due to the large number, the forward troops cannot solve it all, so they have retreated and waited for the commander's order."
"Is there so much of a corpse?"
Shen Bai's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked down at the map again.
According to their current location, there is indeed a county town with a fairly large scale nearby, and there is indeed the possibility of a large corpse group.
Although I don't know why the corpses in the county appear on the national highway located outside the county, the news of the soldiers will definitely not be a problem.
A large-scale corpse group composed of six or seven thousand zombies, if it was changed to before, Shen Bai would definitely let the soldiers open fire and sweep a way.
However, the road is long, and although the soldiers' ammunition can be refreshed every day, just in case, they must keep as much ammunition as possible for emergencies.
So after Shen Bai thought about it, he confirmed with Ida Wang: "Except for zombies on the road, is the road smooth?"
"There is nothing wrong with the road." Ida Wang replied in the affirmative.
"That's good!" Shen Bai nodded, and then said, "Let the forward team retreat, and the four open-road heavy trucks will open the road, and we will run over!"
After receiving Shen Bai's order, the ten off-road vehicles of the forward force quickly returned, and continued to slow down until they came to the rear of the material and baggage troops.
Four heavy trucks drove at the front, and Shen Bai, who was following behind the heavy trucks, soon saw a large group of longing corpses in the distance!
As the fighters of the forward force said, the number of corpses in this group is definitely more than six thousand! I don't know why, but almost all of them are crowded on the road, completely blocking the road.
There are more than 6,000 zombies, and the line standing on the road is hundreds of meters long!
If it is an ordinary vehicle, you can't do it if you want to rush over, and when you rush halfway, you will be stopped by the group of corpses, and then remove the window and door to pull the survivors out alive!
Even heavy-duty trucks run the risk of being stuck in tire bearings by zombie shreds.
This kind of scene, that is, armored vehicles, tanks and other high-power war machines have a chance to break through the blockade directly!
However, Shen Bai's four heavy trucks are the transformation plan given by the red queen, the wheels are equipped with tracks, and the heavy trucks are not only reinforced with iron sheets, but also equipped with a large number of spikes, and there is an oblique shovel blade at the front of the car.
The inventory in the underground base of the umbrella company of these things, if it weren't for the red queen and let Shen Bai find it by himself, it would really be a black eye.
In front of heavily armed open-road heavy trucks, the number of corpses is meaningless!
As the open-road heavy truck gradually approached, the corpses also sensed the convoy heading towards them!
The zombies didn't know what fear was, and even if they were in front of a torrent of steel, they didn't hesitate to swarm up.
Shen Bai, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the zombies outside the car window and frowned.
At the same time, the zombies in the front row of the first wave of corpses have come into contact with the two open-road heavy trucks walking side by side!
Through the front camera of the vehicle, you can see that the zombies are swept under the tires like ants, crushing the zombies' whole body bones in an instant, crushing them into a mess of flesh!
The convoy following behind, you can clearly see that the road driven by four heavy trucks is full of black blood and broken bones! The scene is bloody and tragic!
60 miles, in the eyes of many long-distance drivers is almost a turtle speed, but in fact it is not slow at all.
If a sedan is speeding at 60 mph and hits a pedestrian without applying any brakes, the huge kinetic impact is enough to kill people!
More than 6,000 zombies, a huge group of corpses stretching for hundreds of meters, and the time for four heavy trucks to pass through took less than a few seconds!
When Shen Bai's off-road vehicle rushed out of the crowd of corpses, and when Shen Bai looked back, the road behind him was like hell!
Of course, more than 6,000 zombies, with the crushing of four road-opening heavy trucks, it is impossible to crush them all at once! Quite a few zombies on both sides of the road, as well as in the middle of the wheels at the two ends of the center, survived and tried to surround the baggage convoy behind.
However, at this time, the formation of the corpses had been completely disrupted, and these corpses could not form an effective encirclement at all, and the soldiers leaned out of the off-road vehicles to open fire and cover, and the convoy broke through the encirclement very easily.
"Commander, the convoy has all been surrounded by corpses, and there is no damage."
Ida Wang reported the results to Shen Bai.
"Good." Shen Bai nodded.
He was very satisfied with this result.
The four open-road heavy trucks proved that the number of zombies in front of the red queen is meaningless, even if it is T2, or even T3 zombies, they are vulnerable in front of the rolling wheels in front of the four open-road heavy trucks.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the forward unit again drove to the front to reconnoiter the situation.
After passing the county seat, the road is a long stretch of uninhabited wilderness, with only occasional scattered villages in the distance.
In this case, it is impossible to encounter a herd of corpses again, but it is more likely to encounter mutated animals, such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, which are raised by every household in the countryside.
Compared to the corpse horde, these mutated creatures are a little more difficult to deal with.
However, the forward troops did not encounter any mutated creatures on the road, and they arrived in Nanhuai City very smoothly.
At this time, the sky also began to gradually darken.
Shen Bai naturally did not let the troops directly drive into the city in the night like this, but directly stopped and camped on the road outside the city.
The convoy was parked in the middle of the road, and Dongfeng heavy trucks and fuel tankers were parked next to it.
More than 30 off-road vehicles formed a circle, protecting Shen Bai and others and the heavy vehicles in it, forming a simple camp.
In the event of an emergency, such as a siege by corpses, soldiers can use off-road vehicles as cover and roadblocks to fight the corpses.
