Chapter 17 The Prototype of the Survival Base
Things were really as Tang Zheng guessed, the heavy rainstorm blocked the zombies' perception, so that they lost all channels to obtain information from the outside world, and remained motionless.
Even if Tang Zheng walked three meters beside them, they were indifferent.
But within three meters, the zombie seemed to have a feeling.
Detecting the movement range of the zombie, the next thing is to pay attention to dodge, and then hurry away.
This kind of rainstorm usually doesn't last long, you have to hurry as soon as possible, a few people speed up their pace, even if the occasional zombie senses them, they will be quickly thrown down.
Under the white rainstorm, everyone almost trotted along Xinglin Road.
This five-kilometer-long road of death, just like that, passed.
By the time I walked out of Xinglin Road, it was already afternoon.
Turning another corner, Yida City in front of him was already in sight.
"General, the rain seems to be a little lighter."
Tang Zheng looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the rain was a little lighter, and now it was the level of moderate rain.
The zombies on the street seem to be showing some signs of coming to life.
Sure enough, the decision to go immediately was the right one, otherwise they wouldn't have known how many days they would have been trapped on the roof of that building.
"Go, enter Yida City, where the terrain is wide, even if there are zombies, there will be no danger of being surrounded, as long as we get out of Yida City, cross an intersection, we will be able to go to the viaduct, there is no street paving on the viaduct, the number of zombies will not be very many, under the viaduct, we will go to Binjiang Road, not far from Binjiang Park."
The route forward Tang Zheng has already planned, this Xinglin Road is the most difficult step, and another difficulty is the section from Binjiang Road to Binjiang Park.
As for Yida City, it can't be said that it is not dangerous, but compared to the other two places, the difficulty is less.
Yida City is a large-scale comprehensive supermarket integrating shopping, leisure and amusement parks, and there are four in the entire Sanjiang City.
Tang Zheng didn't enter the room, he just wanted to pass through the wide area of Yida Plaza, and it shouldn't be dangerous.
Taking advantage of the fact that the rain was still falling and the zombie activities were slow, Tang Zheng and his party quickly passed through the intersection and the street and came to the gate of Yida Playground.
The gate of the amusement park is towering, and there are many classic animated characters from home and abroad on the door.
There are some flower baskets in front of the door, but at the moment the branches and leaves are staggering.
Some red silk hung on the door, damp and drooping.
Tang Zheng wiped a handful of rain from his face, and the wet clothes on his body were very uncomfortable to wear.
"Let's go, let's go in first."
Everyone followed Tang Zheng's steps and walked into the playground.
There are a lot of buildings, tall Ferris wheels, crazy roller coasters, and floating pirate ships.
Bungee jumping, merry-go-round..... The whole nine yards.
Of course, there are also some zombies, wandering in the rain at an extremely slow pace.
It's a very safe time.
Tang Zheng looked up at the sky, the clouds still hadn't dispersed, although it didn't seem like there would be heavy rain, but it was estimated that it would take a while for this light to moderate rain.
"It's more than two o'clock in the afternoon, we walked out of Yida City today, and we can't get out of the viaduct, it seems that we have to rest here tonight, and we will set off tomorrow."
Tang Zheng thought about taking a break, at least finding a place to roast the fire.
He has radar and can avoid risks at close range, so he takes everyone past the houses and buildings to see which one has fewer zombies.
After walking for a while, when he came to an indoor bumper car experience hall, Tang Zheng suddenly stopped.
Something is not quite right in the surroundings.
Around the perimeter of the experience hall, a lot of debris has been piled up, forming a separation zone.
You must know that when zombies are roaming, they will not take the initiative to climb over those difficult obstacles, so it must be people who can do this.
The miscellaneous items are almost piled up around the experience hall, and the survivors must be in the experience hall.
Tang Zheng was a little hesitant, he didn't really want to stay with the other survivors at this time, after all, this military uniform was easy for the survivors to misunderstand and beg to take them away.
But now there is no suitable place to stay in the entire playground, after all, it is still raining, and he can't sleep outside.
Before he could make a decision, he didn't expect the door on the other side of the experience hall to open.
The soldiers were immediately on guard, but Tang Zheng didn't care too much, the other party was able to take the initiative to open the door, and there should be no malicious intent.
Sure enough, a young man inside the door beckoned to Tang Zheng and them.
"These soldiers, come here to hide from the rain."
Tang Zheng didn't hesitate any longer, and walked towards the experience hall.
Walking indoors, the young man was very enthusiastic: "Hello, are you here to rescue?" ”
Tang Zheng shook his head: "No, we are not here to rescue, just passing by." ”
The young man's face was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say much, and greeted warmly: "Seeing that you are all wet, come in quickly, there is still a fire here." ”
Follow the young man through an entrance hall where there is a huge space.
The bumper car experience hall is naturally not too small, about 2,000 square meters.
But at this moment, the ground around was full of bunks, and many people were lying or sitting in the corner, and when they saw Tang Zheng and them coming in, their eyes burst out with strange looks, and many people stood up.
There were about fifty of them, both men and women, and a dozen of them children.
But everyone didn't talk much, and they looked more orderly.
The young man brought Tang Zheng to the side of a tall man.
"This squad leader, this is Brother Meng, Meng Zhiliang, the person who led us to survive, if you have a rescue plan, or find an organization, you must remember to give us Brother Meng a credit, if it weren't for him, there might not be ten of the more than fifty people here."
Tang Zheng looked at this Brother Meng in a little surprise.
This person looks like he is about thirty years old, with a strong body, slightly taller than himself, and looks like one meter eighty-five.
He carried a fire axe on his back and a police Type 64 pistol at his waist.
This kind of gun Tang Zheng knows, it is a security officer of the Public Security Department with a gun, and the power is okay.
The appearance of the gun was shiny, but the careful Tang Zheng soon noticed that something was wrong.
The traces of wiping are too obvious, and rust can be seen in some of the cracks, most of the inside of this gun has been rusted, so it is pinned to the waist, and it should be mostly made of appearance.
This thing has no effect on zombies, but for people, guns are always the most deterrent thing.
It's not for fighting zombies, it's for scaring people.
Don't be here like this, maybe it's also for your own people, proving that they are not powerless.
Of course, there may also be an attitude of testing himself, indicating that he has nothing to hide.
Tang Zheng was a little funny in his heart, but he also knew that this was the normal mentality of a survivor.
Tang Zheng also knew that if he proposed to confiscate this gun at this moment, this person would obediently hand it in, but of course Tang Zheng would not do that.
They stretched out their hands to Meng Zhiliang: "My name is Tang Zheng." ”
Meng Zhiliang seems to be calm, but in fact, he also plays a little drumming in his heart.
After all, the group of people in front of them are soldiers, and they have enough strength to crush everyone here.
But out of trust in the soldiers, he still asked the young men to bring the group in.
Taking the initiative to pin the gun to his waist is also a frank attitude, after all, the gun is not his, he found it from the police station in Yida City, if the young officer asks him to turn it in, he will hand it in.
At this moment, seeing Tang Zheng take the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with him, he was a little flattered, and immediately stretched out his hands and shook hands with Tang Zheng.
"Hello squad leader, I'm Meng Zhiliang, and I'm a gym coach."
Tang Zheng nodded and glanced at the axe behind him: "Your axe has black-brown marks on it, it should be a lot of zombies." ”
"Yes, yes, after many years of fitness, I still have a lot of strength, this kind of axe is heavy and not easy to damage, it is just right to fight zombies."
"Did you save all these people?"
"Yes, on the day the apocalypse broke out, I took my children to the playground to play ......"
Speaking of this, an aunt in her fifties spoke up.
"Xiao Meng, let these soldiers come and sit, they are all soaked, let's talk while roasting the fire."
Tang Zheng looked back, and those survivors had already lit a fire at this time.
Above the fire was a large iron pot with boiling water in it.
"Ouch, look at me, don't understand, squad leader Tang, come and sit down."
Someone brought a stool and gathered around the fire, and Tang Zheng walked over with the soldiers and sat around the fire.
Da Smart and Little Pretty obediently lay at Tang Zheng's feet, their eyes closed comfortably by the firelight, as if they were asleep.
But if someone is unfavorable to Tang Zheng, they will definitely break out and hurt people as soon as possible.
Meng Zhiliang sat with Tang Zheng, and the rest of the survivors were all sitting in the outer circle, and their eyes revealed their trust in Tang Zheng.
The young man even poured a cup of hot water for Tang Zheng and them.
I took a sip of water and warmed my belly.
Shrouded in the warm firelight, the cold on his body gradually disappeared, and Tang Zheng felt comfortable for a while.
In the last days, there are wicked people like the chef of Chunxi Hotel, but more of them are kind ordinary people.
This group of survivors huddled together for warmth is a more normal state.
Since coming in, Tang Zheng has already observed.
There were combatants in this group, such as Meng Zhiliang, such as young men, and several men, who also carried some rudimentary weapons.
There are also living people, you can see that there are many traces of labor in the room, everything for cooking, some materials and food are piled up in the corner, and there are artificially made bows and arrows, although they are very simple.
What's more, there are children here.
With children, there is a future and hope.
If such a group is strongly armed and secured, the future is very promising.
Yida City has a large area here, and there are not too many zombies, so if you get it right, this is the prototype of a survival base.
