Chapter 98 The second airdrop after the rain
"The rain has stopped..."
When he got up in the morning and looked at the clear sky outside, Wang Tao frowned a little.
This was the longest rain he had ever seen in his life. The rain started when he came out to look for the Shuizhe base and ended yesterday. It lasted for half a month.
Fortunately, the previous rain was not that heavy. If it had been as heavy as the heavy rain in the past three days, Shuize County might have been flooded.
Ding Yuqin had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for Wang Tao.
"Sister-in-law, how much food do we have at home?"
Wang Tao asked while eating.
"Not counting nutritional supplements, there are..."
Ding Yuqin took out a list and explained it to Wang Tao in a clear and logical manner.
After listening, Wang Tao knocked on the table.
"There's not much food left, so I just want to go out and loot this time..."
Although he had collected a lot of food before, his appetite was huge and he could eat more than several people. So he consumed the food very quickly.
Of course, if you save a little on these foods, you can eat them for a while, but since Wang Tao has the ability, there is no need to be too frugal. After all, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to kill zombies.
After breakfast, Wang Tao, with the help of Ding Yuqin, was fully armed, and then went to the garage to drive out his new energy off-road vehicle.
As soon as I go out, I can obviously feel that the outside world is a little different.
Almost all the skin of the courtyard wall has fallen off, and it is covered with wall-creeping tigers. There are green moss all over the base of the wall, and leeks and green plants have grown a lot in the yard.
There were several cars belonging to the on-duty personnel parked outside the yard, and the cars were all somewhat rusty; some road signs were also rusty, and some of them were even hard to read...
Wang Tao suddenly felt like time was being accelerated. It felt like it had been accelerated by at least three months or half a year!
"Is there any problem with your car?"
Wang Tao opened the car window and asked the officers on duty.
Several officers on duty looked bad.
"Back to Commissioner Wang, there are a lot of minor problems with the car, and many places inside are rusty... But mine is pretty good, at least it can still start. Some other cars can't start at all..."
Wang Tao frowned.
For some survivors, there is actually no shortage of cars. There are many cars on the street outside. As long as you have the ability to open the lock and are not afraid of the movement attracting zombies, you can have a car of your own in the apocalypse.
But with such corrosive acid rain, the car will have problems! There are so many cars on the street that are uncovered, and most of them may not be able to be driven. In the future, these cars will probably be high-value products...
After leaving the committee area, Wang Tao drove slowly to the complex building.
The buildings on campus are becoming obsolete as if time has accelerated. The plants downstairs are growing like crazy and climbing up the walls.
"Hello, Commissioner Wang!"
After Wang Tao arrived at the complex, other survivors hurriedly greeted him when they saw him.
"Um."
Wang Tao nodded slightly, then went upstairs to meet Wei Zhenguo and the others.
After so many days of recuperation, Wei Zhenguo finally no longer needs to sit in a wheelchair. However, after a hundred days of straining his muscles and bones, his injuries did not get better easily, and he is still in a state of residual blood.
Wang Tao suddenly thought that if he killed the doctor's zombie and exploded the medical kit, he wondered if it could restore blood to an injury like Wei Zhenguo's. It should be possible, right? I'll give it a try later.
Wei Zhenguo nodded towards Wang Tao.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about it. Everyone has seen the situation in the past few days. This corrosive rainstorm has brought great changes to our place. Things left outside, including cars, houses, etc., have been corroded...
…And this is only the situation inside our base. We don’t know what the situation is outside the base for the time being. But I always feel that it may be more dangerous outside…”
Wei Zhenguo's face looked a little sad.
In the apocalypse, any unknown represents danger. Originally, everyone was somewhat accustomed to the life of the apocalypse, but after the heavy rain, everyone became a little unfamiliar with the apocalypse...
"Whatever! The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. We have survived for more than a month, and surviving for more than a month is not a big problem!"
Xiang Hongbin said carelessly.
"I'm just worried that if the plants outside grow up, it will be easier for zombies to hide..."
Ren Jie frowned.
Although he didn't go out of the base very often, he was still worried about the hunters and Xiang Hongbin who often went out.
"If plants keep growing like this, it may not only be a problem for zombies to hide...haven't you ever seen those human-eating plants in movies before?"
Liu He murmured.
Everyone fell into silence.
Just zombies are scary enough. If man-eating plants appear again... then human beings' survival will be even more difficult!
"Hey! We'll talk about the future later. Let's study our current situation first!"
Wei Zhenguo waved his hand.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. It's good that they have survived until now, and they don't have the time or energy to think about it that much.
"No one has gone out to look for supplies in the past few days. There is not enough food in our base..."
Most of the materials in the base are collected outside, especially some food. Although you can also grow food yourself, the cycle is too long. The base is also prepared in this regard, but it is difficult to see it in a short time.
It works. So I mainly rely on collecting it outside. So many people in Shuize County have turned into zombies, and there is still a lot of food left.
Now that the rain has stopped, I have to go out to collect supplies, because no one knows when it will rain again. If it still rains this kind of corrosive acid rain, then there is no way to go out...
After the meeting, Wang Tao and others decided to take advantage of the sunny weather in the past few days to increase the base's contribution to the acquisition of supplies so that the hunters would be more active in searching for supplies.
Of course, committee members like them who are capable of fighting will also personally lead the team to collect supplies and see if there are any special zombies. The fact that Feng Ming'an became a superpower made everyone jealous.
"...That's it, the tasks these days are mainly about searching for supplies! Xiang Hongbin leads the security army team, Feng Ming'an leads the police hunter team, and Lu Gang leads your sniper team... As for Wang Tao, you are
Lead someone or fight alone?"
Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao.
When searching for supplies in the last days, more people do not necessarily mean more. More people will increase the risk of exposure, especially for those who do not have strong command skills.
It's hard to say whether Wang Tao's commanding ability is strong or not. After all, no one has had the chance to see it, but Wang Tao has always been a loner in the past, so Wei Zhenguo asked.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao said:
"I'll just take Han Rui with me."
If you are specifically hunting special zombies, you can bring more people, but if you are just searching for supplies, you don't need to.
Several people looked at Wang Tao with strange eyes. Why does Wang Tao always stay with married women? Could it be that he is good at this?
But it's not a big deal. It's the end of the world, Wang Tao is capable, and what he did is not something harmful to nature, so naturally no one will say anything.
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Wei Zhenguo finalized the plan. In fact, he also wanted to go out, but his injury was not healed yet, so he would be a burden if he went out now.
After the meeting, Wang Tao just stood up when his ears suddenly twitched.
"What a sound...a plane!"
He quickly came to the window, and the other people were a little confused.
"Wang Tao, what's wrong with you?"
After Wang Tao closed his eyes and carefully determined the direction, he suddenly raised his head and looked at somewhere in the sky and said:
"Look to the sky!"
The improvement of physical fitness will also enhance Wang Tao's five senses. He has the strongest physical fitness among these people, and his five senses are also the sharpest.
Everyone looked at the place pointed by Wang Tao. After a few seconds, Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin and Lu Gang were all shocked.
"It's a plane! Is it an airdrop?"
They are all too familiar with the buzz of airplanes!
After a while, I saw a small black dot appear in the sky. Those who had telescopes took out their telescopes and took a look.
"It's a military transport plane! It's really an airdrop!"
Everyone is a little excited, there are good things in the airdrop!
When Wang Tao saw them like this, he knew that they must have picked up the airdrop.
Wei Zhenguo thought Wang Tao didn't understand the airdrop, so he explained it to him.
"There are a lot of good things in this airdrop, including food, bullets, medical kits, and some airdrops even contain inhibitors!"
"All the inhibitors in our base come from airdrops?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
He wanted to know where the inhibitors in the base came from before, but forgot to ask, and now he just remembered.
Wei Zhenguo nodded and said:
"That's right, only the airdrops contain inhibitors..."
Hearing what he said, Wang Tao was slightly disappointed.
He hoped that Wei Zhenguo and the others were still in contact with the government and obtained these inhibitors from special channels. This would at least prove that the government still had a certain power... But now it seems that Wei Zhenguo and the others are completely unable to contact them.
Going to the official government...
"At that time, we got a total of six airdrop boxes, two of which contained inhibitors, a total of forty bottles. We haven't used one bottle yet..."
Wei Zhenguo's tone was a bit emotional. Because many people were eaten directly after being infected by zombies... there was no time to use inhibitors.
Wang Tao was a little stunned. He worked hard to get an airdrop box, and he only dared to take one. Unexpectedly, Shuize Base got six!
Sure enough, there is strength in numbers!
Xiang Hongbin then continued:
"In order to get these airdrops, many people in our base died... The committee had not been established at that time, and Xiao Liu, Lao Song and Lao Wei hadn't come yet... Oh! What a fuck!"
"..."
Wang Tao shook his head. Sure enough, if you choose to take airdrops, you must be prepared to pay the price.
"Then let's do it now..."
Liu He looked at everyone expectantly. He had never seen an airdrop in reality.
"Get the airdrop first!"
Wei Zhenguo said decisively.
Although there are dangers in taking airdrops, benefits and risks coexist. The medical kits, bullets, inhibitors, etc. in the airdrops are all good things. And he also wants to know what the situation is like in this military base now. Since they are still
If it can be airdropped, does that mean the situation in the military base has improved?
If that's the case, that's definitely good news.
Not to mention military support, even if it's just airdrops every now and then, it's enough for many people!
"OK!"
Everyone didn't have any objections. Being able to get an airdrop was equivalent to finding a lot of supplies for them.
"Remember, if you have the opportunity, give priority to airdrops with parachutes. Such airdrops may contain ammunition and inhibitors! Airdrops without parachutes will basically contain food and clothing..."
"clear."
Everyone nodded and immediately went to prepare.
Ren Jie also broadcast in the base, telling everyone that an airdrop had appeared, and vaguely said that there were good things in the airdrop, and asked everyone who was capable to get it, whether for personal use or to hand it over to the base in exchange for contribution points.
All are possible.
Not telling these people that there are inhibitors in the airdrop is, on the one hand, a hidden secret. After all, the base's contribution system relies on inhibitors to attract people. This can also be regarded as a trump card of the base.
On the other hand, it is because he is afraid that these hunters are too greedy. After all, a bottle of inhibitor is worth 100,000 contribution points, and it is equivalent to half a life. If they want to get the airdrop too much and want to get it despite the dangers,
That might very well become zombies' lunch.
There are not many survivors in the base, and there are even fewer hunters. Every hunter who dies is a loss to the base, and Ren Jie naturally doesn't want anyone to die.
The news of the airdrop immediately made the base excited. When the airdrop was first carried out, many people heard the sound, but it was just the sound of the plane. Many people had never seen the airdrop.
Now that I heard that airdrops have appeared again, the survivors are very curious and want to know what the airdrops look like and what good things are in them.
The hunters were all eager to try. They were all watching the planes in the sky in the square outside to see where the airdrop would land.
Wang Tao called Han Rui, who had already changed into training clothes suitable for combat in advance, and some parts of the clothes were stuffed with steel plates.
"Follow me to get the airdrop."
"……yes!"
Han Rui was slightly excited. This was her first time to get an airdrop. Although she felt it would be awkward to be with Wang Tao, she had to admit that when she was with Wang Tao... she felt extremely safe.
The sound of the military transport plane in the sky became louder and louder, and soon I saw airdrops falling one after another like eggs.
"Go, go, go!"
Xiang Hongbin's figure emerged from the shooting port on the roof of the military vehicle. He raised his rifle, greeted everyone loudly, and left the base first. Others followed closely.
Wang Tao looked at several airdrops with parachutes, then started the car and drove Han Rui to the gate.
The situation outside the base is similar to that inside. At a glance, there is green everywhere, the roads and buildings have become old, and the vehicles are rusting...
But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the zombies are different!
"The zombies in the distance...seem to have become more rotten!"
Han Rui was a little surprised when she looked at the zombies not far from the base gate.
Although the zombies in the past looked very scary, you could still more or less see what they looked like in life.
But now after this corrosive acid rain, it is no longer possible to distinguish the appearance of these zombies. Their hair has fallen off, their faces have rotted, and their teeth have been exposed... They look even more ferocious!
Not only does it look like it, but the zombies have actually become stronger, because the health bar of ordinary zombies has become [1000/1000]!
Before, if they didn't eat people, their health bar would be 500, but now it's doubled!
"These zombies have become stronger, I'm going to test their strength."
Wang Tao stopped the car, got out of the car with a fire ax, and walked towards the four zombies not far away.
Han Rui, holding a short spear, followed Wang Tao and got out of the car.
There are four ordinary zombies in total. They all look more ferocious and have 1000 health.
"Ho ho..."
Without the interference of the heavy rain, the zombies' senses were much sharper. They spotted Wang Tao about ten meters away, and they twisted their bodies and walked towards Wang Tao.
"Um?"
However, Wang Tao was suddenly stunned.
The speed of these zombies seems to have slowed down?
Wang Tao is already very familiar with zombies, including their attack power, defense power, speed, etc.
He could feel that the bodies of the zombies in front of him were stiffer and slower than before.
Wang Tao did not take action immediately, but waited until the zombie came to him and grabbed him. Wang Tao raised his left arm tied with a steel plate and resisted the zombie's blow.
boom!
"Stronger than ever!"
Although Wang Tao didn't lose any blood, he could clearly feel that the zombies were much stronger.
"Ho ho..."
Several other zombies also came to Wang Tao one after another. Wang Tao relied on his confidence in his own strength and tried several more times. This made Han Rui, who was hiding aside, worried.
After determining the attack power and speed of the zombies, Wang Tao picked up an ax and chopped off the head of one of the zombies.
Poof!
【-1000】
【0/1000】
Even if the zombie's HP has doubled, it is still an instant kill for Wang Tao.
However, Wang Tao frowned a little when he looked at the wounds he had caused. When he killed ordinary zombies before, he almost chopped off the zombie's head with one blow of the ax. But now, with one blow of the ax, he only chopped off one of the zombie's heads.
Just cracks...
"The defense of zombies has also increased!"
Wang Tao took another look at his blood volume, but there was no increase.
As for the package exploded by the zombies, it is still an ordinary crafting material.
[Obtain: Nail*1]
While he was thinking in his mind, Wang Tao kept moving his hands and chopped off the heads of several other zombies with the fire ax.
Poof!
【-1000】
Poof!
【-1000】
Poof!
【-1000】
All four ordinary zombies were killed instantly.
Han Rui was a little stunned at the side. Although she had already seen Wang Tao kill zombies instantly, she still felt shocked when she saw it now. After all, this was something she couldn't do by herself.
"Let's go."
Wang Tao got in the car again and turned on the intercom.
"Attention, everyone! The overall strength of the zombies after the heavy rain has become stronger! But their bodies are stiffer and their speed has slowed down..."
"receive!"
