Chapter Twenty-Eight: Screaming Zombies
Moreover, in order not to lead these zombies to the vicinity of the Whitewater River camp. Qin Fei had to choose a place a little farther away.
Near the gas station he had been to before, there was a water tower.
This water tower is quite tall.
And the only way to climb the water tower is to climb up the metal ladder in the center of the tower.
Zombies in the Seven Days Kill World can climb a metal ladder.
But they won't open the door.
And in the center of the metal ladder of that water tower, there happened to be an iron gate, and the zombies that Qin Fei attracted due to the wrought iron could be blocked under the ladder by the iron gate.
As for the fuel aspect..
In Qin Fei's backpack, there were a few pieces of coal in his backpack, plus he also picked up some branches on the way, these fuels together were basically enough.
The Navigan region is not densely populated, and it is a rural area, so the houses here are not very high.
The water tower for water supply is designed according to the height of the surrounding houses. So the height of the water tower is only about 20 meters.
After Qin Fei climbed the water tower, he closed the iron gate in the center of the tower and began to make preparations.
In addition to the necessary fuel, before he left the camp at Whitewater, he also asked the female doctor to borrow an iron basin.
This is a container used to hold coals and crowbars.
As for the quenching material, Qin Fei chose to use light salt water.
Because of the damage to the environment caused by viruses and wars, there are not many animals and plants in this world.
Most of the food sources are canned and packaged foods with their own spices. Therefore, there is not much demand for salt.
So Qin Fei easily asked for some salt from the female doctor.
He threw the charcoal into the iron basin and lit it, and then put the crowbar in his backpack as well.
Because the hardness and toughness of the crowbar itself are very high, Qin Fei does not need to spend too much time and energy to make a crossbow arm that meets the requirements when processing.
If it is calcined in a furnace, the temperature of the charcoal can reach a maximum of about 2000°C.
But like Qin Fei, if he directly threw the coal into the basin and burned it, without the help of things like bellows, it would be seven or eight hundred degrees to die.
But it's enough.
Qin Fei didn't really want to turn iron into steel.
He just needs to increase the hardness of this piece of iron a little... If you really use that high temperature, it may backfire.
After the crowbar was made into steel, it could no longer be used as a crossbow arm with the hardness of steel.
Qin Fei couldn't pull such a thick steel crossbow arm.
When the crowbar in the iron basin was already burned red, Qin Fei took it out with fire tongs and repeatedly put it in salt water for quenching and beating.
The process is not tedious, but it takes time.
Soon it was evening.
Coal is not easy to do, so Qin Fei must have a success in forging this time.
Even at night, he didn't plan to go back.
Slowly, because of Qin Fei's forging crossbow arm on this water tower, a small stream of heat was gradually generated... This heat source gradually attracted the surrounding zombies.
Qin Fei glanced down from above the water tower.
Below, a total of five zombies were surrounded.
They were standing in front of the iron railing on the perimeter of the water tower, clapping their hands incessantly.
After these corpses mutated into zombies, although their speed became much slower than normal, the hardness of this body became incredible.
After a while, the iron fence on the outer layer of the water tower had been smashed by these zombies, revealing a huge gap.
The zombies seemed to have a small amount of intelligence, and after smashing the iron railing, they slipped through the gap.
The zombies shifted their focus and began to attack the concrete foundation beneath the water tower.
However, Qin Fei was not worried, judging from the speed of these five zombies, even if they were allowed to shoot for a few days in a row, they might not be able to knock down this water tower.
He didn't panic at all.
As long as they wait until after dawn, these zombies will lose the ability to run. Qin Fei could go down directly from the water tower and leave here.
Thinking of this, Qin Fei hurried up his time, and at the same time, the movements in his hands also sped up a few points, and began to pound this crowbar hard.
Strive to finish it as soon as possible, and when it is dawn, you can drive away.
Qin Fei was busy all night.
Until a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, a huge female scream suddenly appeared under the water tower, resounding through the sky.
"Ah~!!!"
This scream sounded extremely harsh, and even made people's hearts feel terrified unconsciously.
After hearing this sound, Qin Fei trembled all over, and stood up in a hurry...
He lowered his head and looked towards the source of the scream.
In that direction, at this moment, a female zombie wearing a white dress and white dress, with white hair and skin, was swaying towards the bottom of the water tower.
This is the screaming zombie in the Seven Days Kill game!
Because the appearance of this thing is very similar to a certain female ghost, its nickname is Sadako, and it is this 'Sadako' who makes this scream.
Its cry will attract almost all the zombies in the vicinity.
After Qin Fei saw this product, his pupils instantly dilated.
His heart was in turmoil.
Broken!
Why did you still attract this thing?
You must know that according to the information that Qin Fei learned from others, the setting of this world should be very similar to the A19 version of Seven Days Kill.
In the A19 version, the Screaming Zombie is more susceptible to the Chainsaw and Drill.
And the chance of the fire source attracting this thing is very low.
The probability of being able to get it with a pile of charcoal fire is almost the same as winning a lottery ticket.
The occurrence of this small probability event was completely beyond Qin Fei's expectations.
After this 'Sadako' let out a few screams, it was as if it was a meal in the cafeteria, and countless zombies suddenly appeared in all directions.
They rushed in the direction of Qin Fei like crazy.
These zombies soon surrounded the entire water tower. At the same time, as if they were dying, they began to frantically slap the concrete foundation below.
Qin Fei roughly estimated that there were about twenty to thirty zombies surrounded under this water tower.
Among these zombies, there are two that seem to be extremely strong, more than two meters tall.
Appears to be a variant.
After about some time, near the foundation under the water tower, there was a sudden loud 'squeak'.
That's the sound of steel breaking when it breaks.
Qin Fei, who was standing above the water tower, suddenly felt that the entire tower was partially crooked as this loud noise appeared....
Is this water tower going to collapse?
But even so, it was impossible to let Qin Fei go down.
Since it was not yet dawn at the moment, these zombies were still running.
In this case, Qin Fei couldn't go down at all, he could only bite the bullet and wait for dawn... Otherwise, Qin Fei would rather stay on top of the water tower and be thrown to death than go down to become food for zombies.
In this environment, Qin Fei definitely didn't have the heart to continue forging, he cooled the crowbar extract water in the iron basin and put it in his backpack.
Now Qin Fei could only keep observing the situation below, once the zombie stopped running, he would climb under the water tower as soon as possible.
It's been a tough time!
Qin Fei estimated that he had never been more frightened in his life than he had been on the water tower tonight, in such a short time!
As the zombies below slapped tirelessly, the water tower shook even harder.
'Squeak~'
There was another sound of metal breaking from below the water tower.
At the same time as this sound was heard, it seemed that the foundation below could no longer bear the weight of the water tower.... The entire tower of water fell to the ground.
