Chapter 786: Changing Habits
"Now, let me tell you about the situation of the Marine Corps during this time." Zhou Lei's face was serious, every department had to report at this conference, just to let other comrades-in-arms have a bottom in their hearts and check each other's gaps.
"We searched four tributary rivers near Jiangcheng and found more than 300 survivors in total. But almost all of them are in a Jedi, the kind where a few people, a dozen or so people gather together to survive. There isn't much other information. ”
No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat, and having these survivors on board is always a good thing for the team. But in Zhou Lei's narration, people feel more sympathy and happiness.
"In many valleys, there are the remains of some survivors. Whether it's because of desperation for life, or because we can't find enough food, we see many times more bones than living people. Many of the survivors were so excited that they almost didn't wake up when we picked them up on the boat. ”
Zhou Lei said that this situation, many people have some feelings. When people were isolated on the banks of the river in Xiangcheng, they felt the same way when they saw the fleet on the Yangtze River.
"Due to the limited range of our ships, we only searched about 300 kilometers of water in the vicinity, and there were no large human gathering points. But in the area near the plateau from the source of Sichuan Province, we have seen large-scale zombie clusters. ”
Zhou Lei took out a few electronic pictures and also projected them on the wall, and on those images, people once again saw the overwhelming sea of zombies. Many zombies with hideous faces and teeth and claws are slowly advancing by the river.
"We got out of there very quickly. According to the map, the area where the Zombie Sea is located is still far away, and there are several tributaries and numerous mountains in between, so there is no danger for the time being. But the threat of these things is still real. ”
When Zhou Lei finished his report and sat down, there was a buzzing discussion in the conference room again. During this time, all the team's projects went smoothly, which invisibly made people forget the death threat under the constant influx of zombies.
And the images of the living dead in those pictures once again remind people of the battlefields of the past, where people are far from safe.
"This is something that needs to be taken care of. Where possible, the Admiralty uses all sorts of methods to hinder, even attract, eliminate them. For example, clearing bridges on tributaries, and placing ** on the necessary passages for some zombies to pass through. ”
This situation cannot be ignored by Leng Yang, although there are terrain restrictions, but this zombie sea is only a few hundred kilometers away from Shibaozhai. It's better to harass now than to wait for them to arrive at your doorstep.
Shi Yifan and the others nodded seriously, anyway, the people in the nearby rivers have almost explored. Now the Admiralty will focus its main attention on this sea of zombies, and it would be better to kill these monsters sooner rather than later.
Later, Lin Nan from the Air Force Department also reported on their reconnaissance, Lin Nan still needs to use a wheelchair, but according to Chai Lubing's judgment, Lin Nan will be able to recover in a month at most.
In the red zone controlled by the base, there are many radio transmitters, so the Air Department can fully explore the surrounding green zone, and they can ensure that there are no large zombie groups in this green zone that is nearly seventy or eighty kilometers long.
In some nearby counties with clear landmarks, the Air Force Department has also gone to reconnoitre, and there seems to be no red monster in the zombie groups in those counties, and the zombie groups are very disorganized. But after all, they were just looking at the flowers, so Lin Nan didn't dare to pack the ticket.
"However, in Jiangcheng, according to our observations, there are fewer zombies in Jiangcheng than before. It seems that those red monsters are constantly going out based on the city. They had moved a large number of people towards Rongcheng and Xiangcheng before. ”
Regarding this kind of action of the zombie group, Professor Guan Mingsi also made some guesses.
Now it's almost certain that the zombie hordes prefer to go along the road. Although there is a barrier to traffic, this kind of convenient and fast road built by people is still the first choice for zombie groups.
According to the signs of the red monsters that appeared in the Jiangcheng area, the old professor speculated that those meteorites were likely targeted when they fell. It is to take the city as the center point and spread out within a radius.
This kind of speculation is just a speculation because there are few cases, but Leng Yang, who has always speculated about the red monster with the greatest malice, deeply agrees.
The otaku who has seen too much is very good at automatic brain replenishment, and after so many things, he no longer agrees that the red monsters brought by these meteorites are just an interstellar accident. He felt that it was a strange race, and that it was more appropriate to land on Earth to occupy the planet.
The first is to wake up in the city, and then to summon the zombies. Under the influence of development to a certain extent, or other reasons, it begins to expand outward, which is the survival logic of the red monster.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, a large number of zombies erupted, as well as the strange fog behind it, made it impossible for humans to use all their strength to fight these strange monsters. With the subsequent evolution of the zombie horde, more and more legions controlled by the red monsters will put great pressure on the survivors in such conditions.
For example, Shibaozhai, Leng Yang, they were lucky and desperate to block the first wave of zombies at the beginning, not every team was so lucky with them to find an easy-to-defend place and a large number of ammunition so quickly.
And the next few offences were also blocked by the increasingly powerful Shibaozhai. But everyone has to admit that the first few times people held on to the danger, that was the distance between life and death. As for the survivors in other places, it is estimated that the number of survivors who have grown to such a large level as the Doomsday Team is pitiful.
"Now, it is estimated that there are about one or two million zombies in Jiangcheng, but there are many fewer than before. After all, this is a metropolis with a population of tens of millions. With Lin Nan's words, many people's eyes flashed with thoughtfulness.
After all the troops had finished briefing on their reconnaissance and the combat readiness of the base during this period, the entire conference room fell silent again. Everyone understands that the cold team gathers everyone and spends time to make people understand the general situation of the team, and it is not just a communication.
"This past month has been a rare leisure for everyone. But we all know that right now we don't have the qualifications to sit back and relax. Let's talk about it. Now that we have an understanding of the team's situation, how should we develop next? ”
Sure enough, Leng Yang raised this question. It's about the development of the team, and it's definitely not something that can be easily handled.
The Doomsday team has developed to this day, although there are reasons for people to be self-reliant, but most of the materials are still obtained in the form of war and warfare. When Leng Yang asked, it was obvious that he wanted everyone to choose the direction of their next action. Just behind closed doors, you can't deal with the growing number of zombies.
For a moment, the backbone of various departments in the conference room frowned and thought about their own considerations. Feng Ye and the commanders of these combat units were also studying the situation on the map.
There are no idlers in the team, and the head of each department must have his own opinion. Taoguang is obscure, and this kind of person is not allowed to appear in the command level of the team. Because the current doomsday team still needs to use their own blood and sweat to fight for a survival qualification.
"Actually, there are two paths, no, three paths. Do you want to go to Rongcheng, or Jiangcheng, or through the waterway? "It's not just the zombies that rely on the road, the team also relies on the road. It is possible for a few small teams to cross mountains and mountains, but it is impossible for a large army to do this for a long time.
If you want to go out, the team naturally only has a few ways to choose. But each of these paths has its own pros and cons, and that's where people struggle to make decisions.
"The waterway is not easy to walk, the terrain near here has been explored by the navy. If we land ashore and go farther away, we might as well start from home, or at least we can use the road for supplies. Li Zhetian put forward his own opinion.
"Why don't you cross the canyon, go down the Yangtze River, and go to Shangcheng to have a look?"
"That's too far, and besides, we don't have that many boats. Is it possible to send a team of two or three hundred people out at this time? Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable? "In the past, Leng Yang was fighting hard, but now there is no need for the team to sink a team of hundreds of people.
In the midst of the discussions, the waterways were eliminated first. The Admiralty was tasked with exploring the surroundings, gathering supplies, and building ships. Of course, there is also some blocking and destruction work on the huge sea of zombies in the distance.
"To Rongcheng? It's a semi-plain, but I don't want Jiangcheng to be so easy to deal with. ”
"But there may be survivors in that place, and it's a place we haven't explored. There is no risk in this world. "Many people are discussing the advantages and disadvantages of going to Rongcheng. After all, people have never marched out with great fanfare.
"I'm against it! I think Jiangcheng should be attacked! Feng Ye suddenly said loudly, the soldier's eyes were full of determination.
"Jiang Cheng? There are no survivors left, so it's useless for us to take this city? Yu Linrong was the first to refute. Everyone knows that the team needs a lot of human resources now, and it is understandable to start a war for this, but is it necessary to attack Jiangcheng?
"It's necessary! Our team will only rely on the city walls for now, but in fact, with our strength, we already have the capital to fight the zombie hordes. This is a habit, and attacking Jiangcheng can make us change this habit so as not to suffer big losses in future battles! ”
Sun Jianqiu also stood up and spoke. "Don't forget, you don't forget that you can't let others snore on the side of the couch. The zombie sea in Jiangcheng is too close to us, and we will have to deal with them one day. Do you wait until they all evolve into giant bear zombies, or do you go now? ”
"It may seem like there is no real benefit to laying down the river city, but it could remove a huge potential threat to us. Before, we didn't have the strength, but now we can really try it! Counter-attack a real megacity! ”
