Chapter 242: The Trenches
"To tell you the truth, I didn't have any plans for these zombies, I just brought more people to pile up human lives."
Lu Shengyun's face was a little helpless when he said this, but then he became relaxed again, and continued: "It just so happened that Brother Feng told me how you eliminated those zombies in the square, and the inspiration came. ”
He turned his head to look at the dirt slope below, where many of his men had already begun to hand out tools from their carts to the untouchables, mostly hoes and shovels.
Wang Yao also followed his gaze and looked down, although the men who looked yellow and thin, although their faces were a little displeased, they still obediently took over the tools according to the instructions, and immediately began to dig under the dirt slope.
What does this do?
He was a little puzzled, but when he turned his eyes slightly and saw the village a hundred meters below the dirt slope, he immediately understood.
Zombies can't drive, so whether it is Lu Shengyun and his gang, Lin Zifeng and the others, they all stopped not far from the entrance of the village along the cement road, and then led their men to the high ground about a hundred meters to the north.
And what Lu Shengyun wants to do is probably to follow the same example and give those zombies a fire attack.
However, the terrain here is very different from the situation when they were in the city hall building, except for the more spacious high ground in the middle, there is no danger to defend around.
Lu Shengyun was naturally not stupid, and he would not have thought of this, so he brought enough people and tools over.
In this operation, he brought most of his subordinates over, Zhao Cheng and Ah Chang and their entire staff who were responsible for going out to find supplies totaled more than 50 people, plus more than 70 people in the security team under Li Hao who were responsible for maintaining the internal order of the processing plant on weekdays, and these official subordinates alone added up to more than 120 people.
As for those who are counted as untouchables in death squads, there are even more of them, there were more than 180 people, and more than 150 people died in 20.
So the number of men he can use now is close to three hundred.
Now it is not only the untouchables who are working below, except for Li Hao and a dozen of his subordinates in charge of overseer, the rest of them will participate in this labor.
They were ordered to dig a trench tens of meters long under the slope within an hour.
In order to make these people work faster, Lu Shengyun even specially distributed food to those untouchables again, so that these hungry ghosts who always couldn't fill their stomachs could not be fed once.
When they get this extra food, almost everyone has to jump for joy.
Lu Shengyun stood on it and looked at those gobbling up the untouchables, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, these grains sent out should be regarded as a reward for their performance in the battle just now.
Originally, I planned to wait until I went back to show them the situation and issue a reward for this operation, but I may not be able to live, I'm afraid it's another matter.
A few minutes later, the men below were in full swing.
Perhaps it was because they were grateful for the reward just now, so these untouchables worked very hard, and even began to shout the trumpet one by one, two, two, but they were stopped after being led by the panicked Li Hao to lead someone forward and whisper a few words.
Are you kidding? There are zombies a few hundred meters away, and now the ditch has not been dug yet, if you really recruit the thousands of zombies inside, no one will want to go back alive today.
He looked at the group of untouchables in front of him who were trembling in the face of him, and felt an irrepressible anger in his heart.
These people really don't give people peace for a moment.
The untouchables, who didn't dare to make any more noise, looked at the tall and powerful man in horror, but they didn't wait for the imaginary scolding, the other party just scolded a few words and then turned away.
After a small episode, the people who worked could only continue to work without saying a word, and the efficiency of their hands seemed to have improved a lot.
After about half an hour, a rough prototype was dug out of the soil ditch under this slope, but the depth was still a little short of Lu Shengyun's requirements.
Wang Yao saw it very clearly, Lu Shengyun obviously wanted to dig a trench.
The knowledge of trenches in the army is basically a must-have homework for everyone, but it is for shooting soldiers as cover. At the moment, except for the twenty people under them who have guns, almost all of these people under Lu Shengyun are cold weapons, and this trench is completely chicken ribs for them.
But things are definitely not as simple as he thinks, and Lu Shengyun can't let the people below waste their energy to do a meaningless thing in vain.
It wasn't until Wang Yao saw Li Hao and a few of his subordinates move the barrels of fuel in barrels from the next carriage to the front of this trench that he completely understood Lu Shengyun's intentions.
This trench was not dug by living people in the first place.
It was just to create some obstacles in the way of the zombies, and the fuel flowing in it was the most important part of his plan.
Lu Shengyun is planning to make a wall of fire on the way to the corpses.
Perhaps for those powerful mutant zombies, the incineration of flames for a short time can't cause much damage at all, but for ordinary zombies who occupy the main body of the corpse group, the already dry body will be ignited the moment it touches the flames.
It's just that he missed a little, if it was a group of living people rushing over, the pain from the flames would instantly tear their lineup apart and then scatter and flee.
But even the weakest zombies in the group of corpses will not be afraid of flames, let alone feel pain.
What if they rushed straight into the crowd behind them with that full of flames? At that time, the only ones who will flee for their lives because of fear and pain are his seemingly brave men.
Wang Yao watched barrels and barrels of fuel oil being poured into the trench, and in the corner of his eyes was Lu Shengyun's increasingly smug smile, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, the smarter people tend to be, the more conceited they are, but the final result is not always as good as he thought.
He didn't even think to remind Lu Shengyun of the possible hidden dangers in his plan.
Charcoal in the snow is always more flattering than icing on the cake. What's more, if you pour a basin of cold water on him at this time, you may not only not be grateful, but you may not be able to say if you hold a grudge in your heart.
At this moment, suddenly one of his subordinates ran up from below with a panicked face.
"Lu, Lu Shao, those zombies in the village don't know why, they have already started to come this way!"
As soon as he said this, Lu Shengyun and Wang Yao hurriedly turned their eyes in the direction of the village.
Sure enough, in the houses that the two of them were in sight, there were constantly figures crawling out of various places at this time, but most of them seemed to be still dangling in place.
But after all, some of the zombies seemed to notice the movement here, and were silently approaching the dirt slope below.
The nearest one is only a few dozen meters away from the untouchables who are still digging trenches.
