Chapter 396: Grouping
Dongzhen is the base camp of materials from all over the country to support Houtian City, and there are still many volunteers in Dongzhen. As a qualified politician, the mayor of East Town immediately used East Town Radio to issue a notice after learning of the rebellion at the shelter, asking everyone to work together to transport all the supplies to the mine. To stall for time, he ordered the Easttown Police Department to blow up the highway bridge that led to the shelter outside Easttown.
On the other hand, the mayor of Dongzhen also sent people to contact the volunteers and try to persuade the volunteers to go with them.
The Mayor's East Town Mine is a good place to be, with a number of bottomless mines that can be used to store supplies and arrange shelter. Outside the mine there is a platform covering an area of 0.5 square kilometers, which is surrounded by cliffs, mountains on one side, and only one road. By blocking the road, the mine can be cut off from the outside world.
From the above information, it can be known that the mayor of Dongzhen has strong execution ability and high decisiveness, and if he can take advantage of good luck, he may be able to get this thing done.
Lin Wu sat on the ground with his back against the wall, and asked the dying stone beside him: "Stone, do you say that this mayor of Dongzhen is a good person or a bad person?" ”
Shi closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said weakly: "Most people die, or everyone dies together." Different perspectives on things lead to different conclusions. Back then, our ancestors migrated to Blue Star, took away 500,000 strong young people, and left hundreds of millions of people behind, can we gamble and stuff all hundreds of millions of people into the spaceship? Or take another 500,000? How was the 500,000 taken away selected? ”
Stone added, "All I can say is that Mayor Dongzhen may not be a good person, but he should be a qualified mayor who lives up to the trust of the townspeople. It is relatively easy to judge whether he is right or wrong, and it is worth discussing who is right and who is wrong between the general and the rebels. ”
Shanna said: "The general is right, his problem is that he still has a fluke mentality, thinking that mankind can survive the end. The young officers were more practical, and when the global outbreak of the zombie virus occurred, they stepped up to save a group. Assuming that in a few months' time, humanity has defeated the zombie virus, these young officers will inevitably go to the judgment seat, be spit on by the majority, and be engraved on the frame of shame in history. So after I think about it, I think that young officers are braver than generals, and they are more willing to take responsibility. ”
Xiao Wu disagreed, and said on the side: "But have you forgotten?" The weapons and equipment owned by the soldiers were provided by the people, and the people provided the taxes, and the reason why the city set up this base was to hope that the soldiers could protect the people when danger came. Just like us policemen, we work hard, but we also get paid, and there is no such thing as professional greatness. People hire us to improve the security of the city and protect their safety and legal rights as much as possible. Instead of fleeing when you encounter a powerful thief, let alone turning your gun on the citizens. ”
Su Shi said: "I agree with Xiao Wu's point of view. When you have certain professions, there are some things that you have to do. Xiao Wu's police profession has the obligation to help the people. It is morally condemned that others do not save people, and the police will be punished by law if they do not save people. ”
Xiao Wen, who was working on the side, said: "I don't agree. I think it's a case-by-case analysis. If the base is not closed, it is only a matter of time before it perishes, and without outside assistance, they cannot afford to flee the hundreds of thousands of refugees. ”
While discussing this time, everyone did what they could, even if they could wring out a little more water from their wet clothes, it was a contribution to the collective.
Shanna forced herself to walk to the window and fly the drone to observe the last five kilometers to her destination. As can be seen from the drone video, the terrain began to rise significantly after two kilometers, and although the last two kilometers near the southwest distribution center continued to pour into the river, the water depth did not exceed 40 cm. The most dangerous place is the third kilometer, where the current is more rapid, and the depth of the water is more than a meter.
Most of the factories around the distribution center were submerged. After the flood waters receded, the roofs of factories and roads were covered with silt. In some areas, the drainage pipes are clogged and are expected to become stagnant puddles, which will become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and germs when the rain stops.
"Lin Wu, come here."
Lin Wu sat next to Shana, and Shana asked Lin Wu to look at the display. It is a hub with dozens of railroad tracks, and the tracks are full of trains of all kinds. Several of the trains had their carriages knocked down and derailed by floodwaters, but most of them were still standing on the tracks.
This is the Southwest Railway Freight Distribution Center.
There were several, or even a dozen trains, parked on each track, which followed the tracks deep into the warehouse of the southwest distribution center. Further down is the warehouse area where the railroad tracks have been cut into tofu.
Suppose there is a ton of stone to be transported, the stone is transported to the warehouse by car, the freight train drives the train to the warehouse according to the schedule, the workers load a ton of stone, and the train drives back to the subway track and waits for departure.
It's the same with incoming trains, the train pulls to the door of the warehouse, unloads, and leaves empty.
Shanna raised the drone and intuitively felt that this area was very vast, and Shanna said, "I don't like it very much." ”
Well, I don't like it either. The area is too large, the difficulty of vigilance is too high, and a group of people will come one day. Lin Wu said: "But it seems that the supplies are very sufficient. ”
Shanna said: "Frozen food is definitely inedible with a power outage. It is mainly based on instant noodles, rice and other foods with vacuum waterproof packaging. I believe that the problem of food is not too big, so we have to solve the problem of water. Which location do you think is the most suitable location for us to build a semi-permanent shelter? ”
First of all, exclude the distribution center, there are a lot of trains here, dense, not to mention the survivor sneak attack, you may not be able to find the zombies when they touch your home.
The remaining areas include container loading and unloading areas, warehouse areas, dispatch stations, etc., but none of them are shelters in the traditional sense.
An excellent shelter needs to be in a good location, or a hilltop church with three cliffs and one side of a one-way street. Or a container fortress steel line with only two small gates. Worse off are the shopping streets, at least the front is open, and the enemy can't easily infiltrate the base. Even worse is the parking lot where Lin Wu and Xiao Wu settled before, they are in a relatively complex car forest, and after setting up alarms around them, they have a relatively stable safety zone.
Lin Wu tried to analyze, first of all, water is needed, clean water is very important, then we can only consider the southwest mountain range, there must be spring water in the green mountains. Shanna tried to pull the drone up and fly as far as she could, and the two of them agreed: "That's it." ”
The southwest direction of the distribution center is the original channel of the dam reservoir, and there is a relatively old intact arched railway bridge on the river, the railway bridge is 15 meters above the river surface and the land on the bank, and the total length is about 200 meters. Geologically, the railway bridge is also connected to the railway viaduct all the way into the mountains, which is thought to be the railroad tracks laid for transporting ore or timber into the mountains in the early industrial era.
The railroad tracks on the viaduct have been removed, and the viaduct near the mountain forest is covered with green trees and weeds, and there is no sign of human beings at all from the drone footage.
On the railway bridge is parked a 12-car green train, the locomotive of an antique internal combustion engine locomotive common at the beginning of the last century.
This train is the shelter that Lin Wu and Shanna see at a glance.
This shelter has a number of advantages. The first advantage: it is detached from the complex terrain of the distribution center, there is only one railway track, and the view is wide, and the entrance door can be built with barbed wire and other items, which can effectively ensure the safety of the shelter.
The second advantage is that the shelter faces west, and you can enter the mountain along the viaduct, and there must be water in the mountains, regardless of whether there is prey in the mountain.
The third advantage is that there is a large area of land on the viaduct facing west of the shelter, where the earthworks can be transported for planting and breeding.
The fourth advantage is that it is one kilometer away from the warehouse of the distribution center, three kilometers away from the railway of the distribution center, and close to the resource area, which is conducive to the development of the shelter.
The fifth advantage is that there is a large river below, and fisheries can be developed when food is scarce.
After the two deliberated, Shanna held a meeting.
Shanna drew a map illustrating the location of the shelter and describing the geography. The bad news is that although the distribution center is close to the river, the geographical advantage is higher, so there is no waterlogging near the distribution center, and there are only some puddles. The flood washed away and brought all the zombies outdoors to the city. There are many trains, warehouses and other buildings in the distribution center, and a considerable proportion of zombies are still left in the distribution center. At present, some zombies have left the building and are distributed in the area around the distribution center. This is a bit higher than previously expected for zombie density.
Shanna explained, "My plan was to form a three-person team to set off first and break through the route. The team was also responsible for reconnaissance and bridging. After the departure of the large unit, the squad can communicate and command through satellite phones. This is also a plan based on the current injury situation of the team. ”
Shanna said: "The team set off as soon as the rain stopped, using rubber boats to reach the vicinity of the distribution center, and then walked to the railway bridge. Carry out the preliminary food and firewood collection work. It's up to the team to decide what to do. Squads are armed with pistols, and brigades are armed with assault rifles. We need to spare some of our food rations for the squad, and we need to prioritize the squad's clothing, pants and shoes. ”
Shanna said: "With Lin Wu as the team leader, there are still two places left." ”
Lin Wu said: "The team has a lot of work. You need to explore the surrounding buildings and carriages, and it is inevitable to go head-to-head with zombies along the way, which will definitely be dangerous. You put your hands down. ”
Lin Meng insisted on raising his hand: "I'm signing up." ”
Lin Wu said: "In addition to not being afraid of death, the team must also have excellent comprehensive ability. Knife was one of the best candidates, but due to Knife's physical condition, he was temporarily excluded from the mission. ”
Lin Meng, who was euphemistically despised, could only pout and get angry without refutating. Of course, she knew that Lin Wu was telling the truth. In the final period of the game, she honed her marksmanship, and never thought that cold weapons were the king in the last half of the year. Although she didn't practice nunchucks for a day or two, she really didn't dare to use this killing weapon in the day after tomorrow. After all, if this thing is not good, it will kill a thousand enemies and hurt two thousand.
Regarding Lin Wu's statement, Xiaodao nodded in response, she didn't want to talk now, and she vomited and pulled to dehydrate her body, and there was an electrolyte imbalance.
Stone Gossamer's voice asked, "Do you need me?" ”
Lin Meng: "Uncle, he dislikes me, why do you still want to do it?" ”
The stone said in a tone that he wanted to die: "Give the uncle a cup of hot water." ”
Lin Meng took a cup and poured water on the stone.
Xuedan asked, "Can I do it?" ”
Lin Wu nodded: "Of course." ”
Su Shi: "I want to go." But he was sick too.
Lin Wu and Shanna didn't want to listen to the last of the stone's speeches, nor did they want to see Lin Meng raise his hand to kill himself. They knew that all the Shadow People would be willing to go, but the most suitable person was NPC Xiao Wu. As an NPC, Xiao Wu's understanding of death is similar to that of ordinary people, and there is a big gap between them and the Shadow Man, so Lin Wu did not name Xiao Wu. If Xiao Wu is willing to go, then go, if Xiao Wu is unwilling, he can understand.
Asking himself, assuming that it was not a game but a reality, Lin Wu did not think that he would have more courage than Xiao Wu.
Shana needs to stay in the big army, so if Xiao Wu doesn't take the initiative to sign up, the third person can only choose Lin Meng. Lin Meng is sick, but he is the mildest, he is in good spirits, he is alive and well, he can eat and pull. Lin Meng was injured, but the injury was the lightest, and the spirit of fragmented thoughts and gossip made her full of fighting spirit and motivation at all times. It's just that combat effectiveness, especially melee combat effectiveness, is really not enough.
Xiao Wu raised his hand and asked, "Can I?" ”
Lin Wu nodded: "Of course." Xiao Wu's registration was expected, but considering yesterday's experience and workload, Lin Wu thought that Xiao Wu would be a little hesitant. The world of soaking in water, with a lot of work and endless dangers, is much more brutal than sitting by the fire in a daze.
Shanna helped the team prepare travel supplies, and together with Xiaowen, she helped the three of them put their wet clothes and shoes on the fire. Lin Wu and they were not idle, they got into the foul-smelling water and went to the bottom to salvage the benches. During this period, I also got more than a dozen packs of candles.
In the afternoon, the rain subsided and the water level inside the church decreased, revealing the windows on the first floor of the church. This is not a good thing, the window for changing the water is lost, and the water on the first floor of the church is almost stagnant. At around 5 p.m., the system visually alerts the player that the water is contaminated with a virus. This is water that can turn into zombies by taking a sip, but even if there is no system prompt, everyone will not drink water soaked in zombies and rotting corpses.
"The moon is out."
Su Shi at the window said that although it was still raining outside, a crescent moon appeared in the distant sky, which meant that the rain was coming to an end.
Lin Wu glanced at the moon and beckoned Xiao Wu and Xuedan to check the supplies again, and then the three of them lay on the side of the fire and slept with a dry cloth.
In the early morning, the sun rises and birdsong can be heard from the roof of the church. Xiaodao and Xiaowen are cooking rice over a fire, and they cook a pot of dry rice, make rice balls out of plastic wrap, and put them in a waterproof box for the team to eat.
Lin Wu's backpacks, dry clothes and shoes were completely dry, and after eating rice and pickles briefly, the three of them put down a rubber boat loaded with supplies, waved goodbye to everyone on the rubber boat, and headed southwest.
