Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Tide of Winter
Keith didn't continue to embarrass Brian, and it was useful for the mayor to keep these guys.
If nothing else, these people are planning to go to the control room and steal the blueprints for the weapon. Hope they will like the gift that Mr. Mayor left there.
In the smell of gunpowder after the catharsis of the gunshots, people returned to their homes half-asleep and half-awake.
"I knew that guy was hiding a hand and freeing me from the control room just to keep me from seeing the information." Bernard sneered, in this shed, the people of the London Gang gathered together and surrounded him.
Brian looked fierce and said: "I'm still a guard in the control room, and many people don't know that I'm in the London Gang, do you want me to go to the control room and steal those design drawings?" We also have companions who work in steel mills, and it is not a problem to build these weapons. ”
More and more, he felt that Bernard was right. In order to prevent them from returning, the Empire also gave the appointed mayor powerful force technology to forcibly besiege them in the snow and freeze and starve to death.
Bernard nodded slightly in agreement, and said disdainfully: "That Mr. Mayor thinks that he has the chance to win, and he will personally go on an expedition to the Winter House in the near future." At that time, there was no one to threaten us except that Arnold. Brian, go steal those blueprints. ”
"Yes, Mr. Bernard!" Brian hurriedly responded, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "That Arnold works in the gang, if he has a weapon, I'm afraid we will be killed or injured." ”
Bernard smiled and asked, "All of you here, have you ever seen those monsters come back from the dead?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, the resurrection of the dead and the attack on humanity were too weird, even if they wanted to believe it to be true, at least it was safer to see it was believing.
"That's fine, we're going to spread the word, those monster rumors are a lie made up to keep us from leaving the camp." Bernard easily arranged a move: "Encourage the others to besiege Arnold and let him prove the existence of the monster." We'll do it again at that time. If Arnold moves roughly, or even shoots, it is an attack on his compatriots, and you can execute him in the name of a guard, even if the mayor is not present. ”
Brian was overjoyed and said, "As you deserve Mr. Bernard, we will definitely bring the truth to the people and bring them back to London and escape from the snow and ice!" ”
Fool, you can be cannon fodder for me on the way to the truth.
Bernard did a good job of hiding the disdain in his eyes, watching the London gang around him look at him with awe. These humans are no longer regarded by him as his own kind.
It was precisely because of this mentality that he didn't feel guilty at all when he tried to blow up the energy tower and cause the death of everyone here. This kind of person is also the most terrible madman, but unfortunately, in Li Jianghao's eyes, Bernard is a poor clown.
At daybreak, thirty workers trained in the guard station who were preparing to leave for the Winter House, armed with weapons, boarded the rail car.
Arnold remained in the camp, where he is now a labourer.
Under the silent gaze of the people, the rail car drove towards the steel bridge.
At the same time, there are already living corpses everywhere in the winter house without survivors.
From the farther north, hundreds of figures ran wildly through the snow and ice, as if they never felt tired. They are more or less missing some exposed body parts, but they are able to maintain their balance.
A figure running at the front, his entire face festering from the cold, but not decaying, barely recognizable.
If anyone who knows Bernard is here, I'm afraid they will think that this monster with a human appearance that is obviously not human is very similar to Bernard when he was younger.
"The undead who are transformed into living corpses are not ashes, maybe they have no obsession with survival, but the instinct in the dark will still make them pursue the warmth of the flames."
Li Jianghao, who was at the front of the train carriage with the flaming sword, suddenly had a systematic exclamation in his mind,
His body can be regarded as an immortal, so one day, will he pursue the so-called flame and completely lose his obsession with survival?
The living march towards the Winter House to destroy the dead. The living corpses of the resurrected also gathered in the Winter House, accumulating from a drop of water to a tide.
The Energy Tower of the Winter House was the largest source of heat in the land, and all the living corpses in the north were gathering towards the Winter House.
And after the heat source connected to the deep underground inside the energy tower of the Winter House has been completely extinguished, the tide of living corpses that has gathered will focus its attention on the heat source that has just begun to burn in the south.
The tide of winter has taken shape.
Upon arrival at the steel bridge, the railcars began to turn and people began to install the steam hub in place. Because the operation of the rail car has completed the transportation of steam by the way, at least the people here do not have to worry about the embarrassment of building a hub and not having energy transmission for a while.
Fighting in a temperature environment is also more comfortable than in the snow and ice.
This steam hub is also a lighthouse used to attract living corpses, and the steel bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it the most suitable place to defend.
Although they would have to face a tidal wave of hundreds of living corpses at the same time, it was much better than a detour to New London if the living corpses had crossed the steel bridge, or if other living corpses had spread farther away.
A reconnaissance team has gone to the coal mine to light the heat lamp, and in order to save time for the follow-up, the outpost has been set up here in advance. Because the battle will take place on the steel bridge, there is no need to worry about damaging anything.
The living corpses of the Winter House were already still aware of going to the coal mine, and then after the hot lamp, as the first living corpse walked towards the coal mine, the whole body moved, and all the residents of the Winter House who had been transformed into living corpses followed up.
The tide of living corpses entering the Winter House in the north also followed, converging into a winter tide of nearly 1,000 people.
The wind and snow cover these living corpses who have no sense of protecting their bodies, as if they are snow monsters, the embodiment of the winter cold.
After the outpost of the coal mine confirmed that the living corpses had been led out of the Winter House, they began to evacuate towards the steel bridge in an orderly manner.
On the steel defensive positions that were perfected after the steel bridge, people clutched their weapons and prepared for them.
Finally, all the players who were out of the team returned.
As the tide of winter approached, people saw dense black shadows crowded in the distance, and they ran towards this place firmly.
It wasn't until the feet of the first living corpse stepped onto the steel bridge that was supposed to be the melting snow for the steam hub, that the people on the first floor raised their rifles.
"Free Fire!"
Keith roared, and the sound of gunfire was thundering.
The living corpses in the first row fell down in an instant, stumbling over the living corpses behind them. More and more living corpses writhed forward even when they fell to the ground.
