Chapter 49: Growing the Team
However, the situation on the street downstairs is even worse than upstairs, there are crazy crowds everywhere, and Zhang Qilong's speculation has finally been confirmed, human beings have mutated, and some people have become zombies.
Zhang Qilong, who usually likes to watch zombie movies on his mobile phone when he is bored, calmed down at this time. After observing the situation downstairs, he knew that jumping down at this time was equivalent to delivering food. The sound of the impact outside the door was getting louder and louder, and the door lock had been broken, and if it hadn't been for the big bed, the zombie might have broken through the door.
Zhang Qilong stood at the window and watched left and right, and finally let him find that there was an air-conditioning shelf not far overhead, and next to the shelf was the drainage pipe. Driven by the desire to survive, he climbed onto the air-conditioning shelf and continued upstairs along the drain.
Perhaps due to luck, after Zhang Qilong climbed to the third floor, he found that one of the houses turned out to be a kitchen. He smashed open the glass and cautiously entered the kitchen, only to find that it was well fed and empty.
Zhang Qilong hurriedly locked the kitchen door and found a heavy object to block it, and then carefully observed the surrounding situation. After some observation, Zhang Qilong couldn't help but be overjoyed, this turned out to be the hotel owner's kitchen, because there were many hotel employees and young ladies, so the ingredients prepared in the kitchen were very rich, which was completely enough for Zhang Qilong to survive alone for a month.
"This may be the only good news, I think the government already knows what is happening here, and I don't know when the government will be able to send a rescue team. Zhang Qilong looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh.
In this way, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, Zhang Qilong has been guarding the window for the rest of the time, waiting for the so-called rescue team.
Although there were traces of survivors on the streets, some escaped, and some were eaten by zombies, the rescue team never arrived.
After waiting for a month, just as he was about to despair, gunshots were finally heard in the distant street, and it was a series of gunshots, similar to the gunfight scene in the movie.
Zhang Qilong thought that a large army had entered the county, so he hurriedly packed up the remaining supplies in the kitchen and prepared to go out to join the rescue team. However, the fierce gunfire only lasted for about ten minutes before stopping, which made Zhang Qilong, who was standing at the window, hesitate for a while, thinking that the rescue team had been eliminated, or that he had hallucinations due to long-term anxiety.
Fortunately, not long after the gunfire stopped, it sounded again in another place, and finally let Zhang Qilong affirm that this was not an illusion.
Because the zombies downstairs were attracted by the gunshots, Zhang Qilong was able to escape smoothly and joined Lu Shanshan's search team, only to find out that the team in front of him was not the government's rescue team, but a group of armed groups formed by ordinary survivors.
Although it is not a regular army, at least it escaped from the wolf's den, and for the time being, there is no need to worry about being eaten by zombies or starving to death when the food runs out, which is good news anyway
Che Pandi is 25 years old this year, she has just graduated from normal school, and she was hired by her alma mater as a chemistry teacher in the second year of high school because of her excellent grades.
As can be seen from her name, her parents have a serious patriarchal concept, so Che Pandi learned to be independent from an early age. On the day of the apocalypse, she happened to have no classes and rested at home, her home was similar to Wang Lei's house, it was also a single-family house, and a small pool was built in the yard, in which lotus flowers were planted. Che Pandi's parents are both working in other places, and she is the only one in the family.
After checking the food reserves at home, except for drinking water, everything else is quite abundant, and it should be able to last for a month or two.
Che Pandi wrote a king-size SOS sign on the quilt with ink, hung it on the roof of his house, locked the gate in the yard, and waited quietly for rescue.
After drinking the drinking water, she went downstairs and drank the dirty water in the lotus pond, and persisted for a month, until Wang Lei's team called, and then followed the rest of the survivors to the villa gathering area.
As soon as Wang Lei walked into the new survivor resettlement area, he attracted all the survivors.
The main reason is that his dress is too weird, because Wang Lei is busy with the meeting summary, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to the image, so he didn't change out of the combat uniform on his body, and those team members didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that this made the captain look brave and brave.
But this kind of dress is very different in the eyes of these survivors, a dirty combat uniform, the scratches on the bulletproof vest on the chest, and the bandages on the arms, plus the killing aura that involuntarily exudes after several battles, the deep gaze swept over the survivors around them one by one, making these survivors feel like they were being targeted by fierce beasts.
"Who is Zhang Qilong and who is Brother Che Pan?" Wang Lei asked.
There was silence for about three seconds, and a man and a woman stood out in the crowd.
The man is about 1.7 meters tall, thin and dark-skinned, and looks like a long-term outdoor worker. The height of the woman is about 1.65 meters, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and a Sven look.
"You two come with me. Wang Lei explained, and walked to Su Xue'er's villa.
Entering the hall of the villa and arranging for the two to sit down, Wang Lei began to observe the two, and only after half a ring did he speak: "Zhang Qilong looks at your nervous appearance, are you afraid of me?"
Through further observation, Wang Lei found that this man named Zhang Qilong did not seem to have much courage, and he was not as good as Che Pandi next to him, this woman was very strange, and she did not show a trace of unusual emotions from beginning to end.
"I'm not afraid of you. Zhang Qilong was a little incoherent.
The guy in front of him is not a master to be messed with at first glance, looking at the murderous eyes of the other party, he wants to say that it is not afraid of that. At this time, Zhang Qilong even regretted a little, regretting that he had escaped recklessly, and the scene in front of him made him feel like he had just come out of the wolf's den and was like a tiger's mouth.
"It doesn't matter if you're afraid or not, I just want to ask how you've survived these days. Wang Lei asked.
He needs to understand how the two survive, if it is murder and snatching materials, or other ways of survival that break through the moral bottom line, Wang Lei will never let such a person join his team, even if it is a special talent.
The reason why they pretend to be serious at the beginning is to make them nervous, so that if they lie, it will be easy to show their flaws.
After listening to the two of them, Wang Lei sighed for a while, one was bad luck, if he had entered the room earlier or later, he might have become a zombie now, and if he hadn't found the food in the kitchen, an empty and dilapidated hotel, Zhang Qilong would have starved to death.
Although the other one is relatively plain, a woman in the last days is not panicked at all, and knows how to use all resources to survive and ask for help, which makes Wang Lei admire her even more.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wang Lei, and I am in charge of the combat troops in this gathering place. Both of you have great stories, but now that we are in the last days, there must be more trapped survivors, and their stories may be even more exciting and thrilling. So I need your help to help me rescue more survivors and create a safe place free of zombies. Wang Lei sent a formal invitation to the two.
"Chief Wang, what am I mainly responsible for after I join? I have never shot before, and I have no experience in killing zombies, so I'm afraid that I will hold you back when the time comes." Zhang Qilong was a little weak-hearted.
Because someone said earlier that as long as you have a skill, you can easily find a suitable job in the villa, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. But now listening to this person's tone, it seems that he wants to join his team, and when he just introduced himself, he said that he was the commander of the combat unit, which was obviously to let him go to the front line to kill zombies!
Obviously, he can live well in the villa area with his skills, so he is reluctant to go to the front line.
Because Wang Lei was the head of the villa area earlier, and now he handed over half of the power to Xu Dayong, so he claimed to be the chief officer of the combat unit, and he didn't explain it clearly for a while, which made Zhang Qilong misunderstand.
"I think you misunderstood, I didn't ask you to go with me to the front line to kill the enemy, but to use your technology in the rear to help me make weapons to kill zombies. Wang Lei explained to the two.
Wang Lei first explained the vehicle modification and the idea of adding pulleys to the giant turtle to Zhang Qilong. Later, he informed Che Pandi of the idea of making a bomb and reloading the bullet.
"Sir, don't worry, burning electric welding is my forte, and when the time comes, I will do what you say, and ensure the quality, and there will never be a tofu slag project. After listening to this, Zhang Qilong swore to pack the ticket.
As long as he doesn't go to the front line to kill zombies, he is willing to do whatever he wants.
"Making improvised bombs or something, people who have studied chemistry for a few years can, but raw materials are a key factor, I can't make them without gunpowder, but we are also a fireworks production area, and the black powder used to make fireworks is still relatively easy to get. As for reloading bullets, this also requires black powder, which is not difficult to get, but the efficiency is very low, especially for automatic rifles to reload bullets, it is possible that everyone will work hard for a month, and you will be consumed in one battle. Che Pandi expressed his opinion.
Xueba is really different, and she has dabbled in everything that has a little bit to do with it.
"Then start with bombs, it is best to make explosive packs with greater lethality, which is simple and practical, as for the reloading of bullets, first get the production line out, and when killing zombies in the future, I will let the team members try to collect cartridge shells for easy reloading. Wang Lei thought for a while and said.
After the three of them finished talking, Wang Lei called glasses, and after Xu Dayong began to take charge of the villa area, glasses became Wang Lei's herald.
"Glasses, you take them to the team members' residences, after arranging, go to the new survivor resettlement area to see if there is a suitable source of soldiers, not too many, recruit ten people is almost enough, the rest of the people will be arranged by Xu Dayong, and the villa area also needs production workers." Wang Lei explained.
