Chapter 394: Sailing Against the Current (Part II)
If it's Maya, just notify you of this kind of thing. changed Shanna, it seemed that she was convincing Lin Wu, but in fact, she still lacked some confidence in her heart and needed Lin Wu's approval.
After the meal, everyone gathered around to explain the situation, except for Xiao Wu who asked a few questions, everyone else basically supported Shana. It's basically because it's very risky. In the still water area, two rubber boats were overturned, and the southwest current was more rapid, more complicated, and turbulent conditions were common.
Shanna explained her opinion that the multiplication of the load of the ship is conducive to the stability of the ship. If the current is fast, the water is shallow, and even if the boat capsizes, some supplies may be recovered. There was no better way, so they all agreed to Shanna's plan.
According to Shanna's list, carry the required items onto three rubber boats. Hang six large buckets from the dinghy and remove the tarp from the boat. Supplies such as ropes were towed aft.
The list of necessities was: a small generator, solar panels, a bag of 10 kilograms of rice, a jar of pickles, 20 kilograms of cloth, a small tent, a set of lighters and a bundle of magnesium sticks, three pots and spoons, two sealed medical kits and medicines, a fire axe, two kilograms of seeds, a drilling machine, a small tool box, wire ropes, expansion screws, a spare set of clothing, pants and shoes for each person, and all weapons and ammunition.
Shanna, the captain of the No. 1 ship, is equipped with a knife and snow eggs, and is the team with the strongest comprehensive ability.
Captain Stone of the No. 2 ship, equipped with Su Shi and Xiao Wu, physical balance group.
Lin Wu, the captain of the No. 3 ship, is equipped with Xiaowen and Lin Meng, the strongest individual soldier and the weakest team with comprehensive ability.
Shanna's idea is that the strong ship will open the way and be responsible for detecting and dealing with most of the zombies. If something happens to the boat in front, Lin Wu can provide rescue. If Lin Wu is pumped to the No. 1 boat, there is a lack of a core staff in the rear ship.
At 12 noon, Mifune began a new journey.
After changing the strategy, there was no need to worry about self-made boats, the front ship could pass, and the rear boat could pass, so the three boats maintained a medium-speed driving speed and moved forward steadily. There are few high-rise buildings in Xicheng, and there are many apartments, and many survivors in the apartment buildings on the way sent a distress signal to the fleet, but unfortunately the shadow was too busy to take care of himself and ignored them.
On the way, I met a survivor who built a small boat out of foam boxes and other items, but it lacked thrusters and did not have the ability to resist wind and waves, so I could only take this opportunity to search nearby. There were also some survivors who were in a very good state of mind and caught fish in the apartment building. There are also survivor squads that take advantage of the zombies being scattered and unable to gather combat power to start moving shelters and collecting various resources.
Xiaowen and Lin Meng lay on the bow of the boat, and the two of them chatted together. Xiaowen likes Lin Meng's optimistic attitude very much, and keeps reflecting on his fear of encountering things. After a while, the two women talked about Xiao Wu. Coming and not being rude, Xiaowen asked Lin Meng about Lin Wu, and she thought that Lin Wu was Lin Meng's lover.
Lin Meng smiled from ear to ear, and told Xiaowen that there was no such thing at all, Lin Wu was very good to all his companions, but because he was stupid, he took more care of him. Lin Wu is not her favorite type, she likes the domineering president, although Lin Wu is a demon and domineering, but in his bones he is an easy-going and humble character, and he is a little sentimental.
The front ship basically dealt with dangerous drifters and zombies, and the two women didn't have much work, Xiaowen was now brave and dared to push the zombies and corpses aside with a hook gun.
Lin Wu put his legs in the middle, leaned on the back of the boat, controlled the overboard machine with one hand, looked at the sky a little bored, and his face was a little painful from the raindrops. The long soaking in water made everyone feel uncomfortable, and so did Lin Wu, but he, like everyone, didn't want to spread his pain to the whole team.
Shana's voice came: "There are still 20 kilometers from point G, and the water depth in the street ahead is about one and a half meters, and the water flow is not urgent." Note that there are a large number of vehicles underneath, and some zombies can stand on the roof of the vehicle. β
Lin Wu changed his hand to control the outboard motor, and his right hand pulled out a pistol and put it on his lap. The flotilla entered the street for a while, and the sound of gunfire came from the No. 2 boat, and Xiao Wu explained: "There are zombies hiding behind the bus stop, and suddenly they appear and reach out and grab the net rope. β
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, a female corpse slowly floated from the direction of the sidewalk, floating between the No. 2 and No. 3 boats. Lin Wu looked at the corpse, but saw a piece of foam on the side of the corpse, and it staggered past the corpse in the opposite direction. Lin Wu didn't know the specific situation, picked up a pistol and took aim, and shot the body in the head with one shot. The moment the body was shot, it suddenly shook a little. Because of this tremor, Lin Wu saw the dagger in the left hand of the corpse.
Suddenly, several survivors appeared on the second floor of the street, they picked up stones and threw them at Lin Wu, the distance between the two sides was only 12 meters, and Lin Wu shot continuously without hesitation. Two survivors were shot, and two others dragged their companions out of the window.
Lin Wu took the Aka guard from his back, and Xiaowen turned around and took the walkie-talkie and called: "Boat No. 3 was attacked, and Lin Meng was bleeding from the head and fell unconscious. β
Shanna: "Roger, boat No. 2 provides fire cover, keep on alert and move on." She wanted to ask if she would stop the ship to sweep the survivors, but she thought that she was the current top decision-maker of the fleet and had an obligation to take responsibility for the interests of the fleet, so she gave the order to move on.
The place where the survivors appeared was the restaurant on the second floor of the street, which was more than 100 meters wide along the street, and all of them had floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which were now shattered. A masked woman ran to the window with a homemade Molotov cocktail in her hand and threw it, and was instantly beaten into a sieve by Xiao Wu and Lin Wu, and the Molotov cocktail fell on the No. 3 ship and burst into flames. Xiaowen hurriedly carried Lin Meng into the hull full of water and extinguished Lin Meng's burning hair.
Lin Wu let go of the outboard engine with his left hand, poured fire and water on himself, and the fire was naturally extinguished after holding on for a while.
Overall, this is a team of survivors who have spotted the fleet and launched an improvised attack. The goal of the woman, disguised as a corpse, is to cut the rope of Boat 3 and separate Boat 3 from the fleet, and then while Boat 3 is dealing with herself, her companions attack Boat 3 with stones and Molotov cocktails.
But they never expected that Lin Wu's team had guns, and they were also equipped with assault rifles. A few of them killed four people, and the other party only injured one.
Passing through the danger zone, Shanna ordered a temporary stop at the street entrance. Xiaowen of the No. 3 boat was about to bandage Lin Meng, Lin Wu glanced at it and thought that the wound was not deep, so he took out a bottle of iodine from his pocket and gave it to Xiaowen. Xiaowen hugged Lin Meng to block the rain and disinfected Lin Meng with iodine. Under Lin Wu's command, Xiaowen pressed the wound with gauze, and finally tied Lin Meng's head twice with waterproof transparent glue. As for how to remove the tape afterwards, Lin Wu didn't care.
After bandaging it, Lin Meng hadn't been able to wake up, Lin Wu reached out and pinched the tender flesh on the inside of Lin Meng's left arm, and Lin Meng sat up directly.
Lin Wu took the walkie-talkie and reported: "Wake up." β
Shanna asked, "Do you need to make a substitution?" β
Lin Wu: "No, it doesn't affect combat effectiveness." β
"Keep going."
Su Shi reminded: "It's best to stay away from buildings. β
Shanna: "Understood. We are now located in a dormitory complex outside the industrial park, where a considerable number of workers live in such high-rise apartment buildings. β
Lin Wu asked, "How many people are there?" β
Shana: "I don't know, but according to the data, the number of employees in an electronics factory alone is more than 200,000. β
The rope was straightened, Lin Wu increased the thrust, and kept up with the rhythm, and the three boats continued to set off. Lin Meng has a really good personality, and after glaring at Lin Wu for a while to no avail, she turned to continue chatting with her best friend Xiaowen, she had forgotten everything just now. From time to time, he stretched out his hook gun to get a pack of cheap snacks, and the two of them shared the food with a smile, and at the same time, Lin Meng didn't forget to kick Lin Wu, showing off that he had something to eat, so he wouldn't give it to you.
There were still ten kilometers away from point G, and Su Shi's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "There is something wrong with the stone." β
"What's the situation?"
Su Shi: "I had a fever, curled up in a ball, shivering all the time, and I didn't pay attention to talking to him." β
Shanna immediately panicked when she heard this, and asked, "Are you looking for a place to rest?" β
Lin Wu said: "Water can cool down, but it can't burn him." Rest now, it will take days to wait for him to get well, not only is it a waste of time, but there is also no extra ration. It is necessary to rest after the G point. Lin Wu knows that the stones need a fire and hot food, but now they have a day off, and they still have to soak in water tomorrow.
Su Shi said: "He is self-inflicted, and he hollows out his body." β
Everyone talked about this matter calmly, but Xiaowen was quite nervous, and Lin Wu patiently explained to her. The two women lay on the bow of the boat and began to talk about the stones. This chat made Lin Meng chatted with interest, and she found that there was a very subtle love between Xiaowen and Shishi. Of course, Xiaowen is talking about another stone, but Lin Meng doesn't care, she wants to listen, she wants to talk, she wants to gossip.
The former stone is a sea king, reading countless women, in his words, making money is to sleep with more women. However, Qianshi's feelings for Xiaowen are still relatively simple, but he can't stand the possessiveness in his bones, and he begins to play Xiaowen's idea. Qianshi didn't know that Xiaowen loved him deeply, and the reason for rejecting him was that he didn't want Qianshi to treat himself like other women.
So how do you count Xiaowen and Xiaowu eating saliva? Xiaowen explained that it was just a simple physical attraction. Lin Meng then analyzed Xiaowen's inner state, she fully recognized Xiaowen's mentality, and helped Xiaowen find an explanation.
Xiaowen thinks that Houshi has changed a person now, becoming stable and indifferent, and will not stop at female body parts, but makes her feel angry. The stone treats her like a junior, which also makes her sad, she would rather the stone stealthily insult herself with her eyes, rather than keep a polite distance from herself.
Lin Meng was very sympathetic to Xiaowen, she couldn't tell Xiaowen that the stone she loved was dead. Xiaowen is also considered to be Wang Ba looking at mung beans and finding the right person, after all, even Xiaodao will not fully integrate into talking about love with NPCs. Lin Meng does not take the identity of the other party as the standard, but uses his own feelings as the standard to get along with Xiaowen. In her opinion, ruthless players are not as good as affectionate NPCs.
Five kilometers away, Shanna: "I may be sick too, and then I'll be commanded by Xuedan." "Even an iron man can't stand it when it's soaked in water like this.
Lin Wu asked, "Is it serious?" β
Shanna: "I felt cold, groggy, and I had to control it with all my might to say what I wanted to say." "An hour ago she had realized she had a fever.
The channel was silent for a moment, and the voice of Xuedan came: "Brothers and sisters, the last is less than 5 kilometers, come on." β
This sentence or this kind of thing is the first time that Xuedan has said it. Xuedan has never been a motivator and leader, he is more often supporting others than leading everyone. The only time he led his personality, and the experience of running away with a knife also made it difficult for him to look back.
β¦β¦
The 15-metre-high church was built on a low site, but the area is actually lowland. The lower half of the church is completely immersed in water, and the glass on the left and right sides of the long church has been shattered. There are also two painted glass sites left on the high faΓ§ade of the church. It's already dark and the city has a total power outage due to flooding, so there's no way to know what's going on inside.
Three rubber boats slowly approached, and the movable people on board either put on their headlamps or pulled out flashlights. Lin Wu took the walkie-talkie and said, "I'll go first and take a look, the ship will be handed over to you." β
After speaking, Lin Wu pulled down the night vision device, reached out and grabbed the one-meter-and-five-meter-high windowsill, and with a slight effort on the rubber boat air cushion, the person climbed and stood on the windowsill.
Lin Wu carried an assault rifle on his back, held a pistol in his right hand, and gently pushed open the stained-glass window with his left hand, observed through the slowly widening gap, and then turned to the other side. After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Wu climbed over the windowsill and landed on the second floor of the church.
In order to ensure the height of the church, there is only a half-circle cloister on the second floor, which is used to pile up some sundries and facilitate the wiping of glass. The main floor of the cloister is made of 1.2 meters wide wooden planks, one side is against the wall, and the other side has no guardrail. Lin Wu looked down and could see that the water surface was more than a meter away from the corridor, and there were some corpses floating in it, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a zombie or a human corpse with night vision devices.
Lin Wu walked along the corridor, making no sound as much as possible, and quickly completed all the corridors. The bottom of the U-shaped cloister is seven meters long, and the length of the left and right sides is about ten meters each. At the end of the cloister on one side is a concave wall, and at the end of the cloister on the other side is a one-meter-wide iron ladder that plunges into the water, presumably connected to the first floor of the church.
"Safety."
The alarm was lifted, and Lin Wu went back to answer it. Xuedan and Su Shi used an electric drill to drill holes, using expansion screws and wooden blocks to build a simple stepping platform. To avoid receding water that causes the boat to hang, ropes are used to connect the platform instead of securing the boat to the platform.
With the help of boats and platforms, Xiao Wu, Xue Dan, Su Shi and Lin Wu sent the sick people into the window first. The situation was a little worse than expected. The stone condition is the most serious, followed by Shana, Xiaowen and Lin Meng are also unwell, these four people have a cold and fever, and Xiaodao is an acute gastroenteritis and vomiting.
A decrease in core body temperature leads to a decrease in immunity, and various diseases come unexpectedly.
Lin Wu put the patient on the left floor first, and then helped carry the materials from the boat, put the materials on the right floor, Su Shi's fingers were cut during the transportation, and he disinfected them as soon as all the staff entered the church.
Four healthy boys took off their soaked clothes and pants and went to work wearing only a pair of underwear. Lin Wu and Xiao Wu pulled a podium through a hook gun at the staircase, and the two dismantled the table top and placed it in the corner.
The large area at the corner, with seven square meters, is also the place where the church stacks its supplies, mainly some of the celebratory supplies used in religious festivals. Find a roll of soft tin sheet and spread it out and place it on a wet countertop so that you can start a fire.
