Chapter 1910 Purification
Gosenburg, Nebraska.
Zhang Hong, the commander of the First Brigade of the Aurora Legion, frowned on the outskirts of this small town. Because there was a strong stench in the air, the middle-aged man was about to vomit.
The essence of America is on the east and west coasts, while the inland states often appear very closed and conservative. The residents living in these states are often dubbed "Grandman" by the wealthy people in big cities in New York.
Inland states generally have developed agriculture, which is very important in the end of the world. There is an important agricultural production area around Gosenburg, and a large-scale irrigation system can provide a large number of agricultural products. Now this place that gathers a lot of agricultural population has become a ghost.
Zhang Hong stood in an armored command car, picked up his telescope and looked towards the city of Gosenburg. Many ragged figures swayed back and forth in the abandoned buildings. These figures may be living people or "living zombies".
The so-called "living zombies" are another human mutant that is different from mutants and zombies. They have festering bodies, fast walking, relatively clear brains, and strong predation. Their survival limit is relatively small and the threat is greater than that of mutants and zombies.
Because Increment carried out unlimited biochemical warfare, this caused a huge number of civilian casualties. The most unlucky one was not the hostile Aurora Legion, because the main territory of the Aurora Legion was in southwestern parts of the United States such as Mexico and Texas, which was quite far from Increment.
‘David Lawrence’ wants to attack the key points of the Aurora Legion, and has to use expensive and small number of long-range missiles. The combat effectiveness is actually very poor. The legion can still withstand it. It is much easier to deal with the adjacent Brotherhood of Steel, including artillery bombs and other things.
Zhang Hong was sent by the army to help several northern pig teammates stabilize the front line. But when he arrived at the scheduled front line, he found that things were completely different from what he imagined.
Incredley did not attack at all, and even retreated. What about those pig teammates? Except for a few powerful people who fled to the rear in panic, they had given up all the rest of the world. As long as Zhang Hong was willing and the logistics could keep up, he could push two hundred kilometers a day without breathing.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hong faced troubles with mutated humans everywhere. If they did not remove them, they would always make people afraid to fight with confidence.
"Prepare to set fire." Zhang Hong ordered on the radio.
After the First Brigade of Guards arrived at the northern front, he found that he was actually doing the work of the "Crouching Team". They did not need to fight or get shelled. Instead, the task of purifying the battlefield and the city was particularly heavy, and they could not drink water, run around, or leave the team randomly.
Several specially made arson tanks drove out of Zhang Hong's queue. They rumbled to a distance of several hundred meters from the city, and then fired napalm bombs into the city, burning the city to ashes.
In addition to the tall buildings with steel and concrete in the core area, the most common one in American cities is very ordinary single-family villas. These buildings use a lot of wood as building materials, which is particularly easy to burn. A raging fire will soon spread throughout the city.
As the arson tanks drove in, many surviving human mutants rushed out and tried to attack the army's troops. These terrifying living creatures can challenge the soldiers' nerves. As long as they appear with their teeth and claws, the heavy machine guns of the army's armored vehicles will not stop.
Amid the sound of gunfire, the quarrels of mutants were quickly destroyed halfway. The machine gunners on the armored vehicles waved back, and soon a chemical defense soldier sat on a truck to clean the body. Usually, they sprayed gasoline and burned it.
It is different from what Zhou Qingfeng encountered during his expedition to Baltimore. There are very few human mutants now. Zhang Hong raised his telescope to confirm that the fire in Gosenburg in front of him was raging, and he sighed: "Fortunately, the weather is hot now."
The reason why mutated humans were large in the past was that dead humans were frozen by the low temperature in the nuclear winter and became their food. Now humans are also dying in large quantities, but the normal temperature makes the corpse completely rotten after long.
Without food, creatures like mutants with fast metabolism cannot last long and starve to death. The number of "living zombies" is not large, but "zombies" with extremely high tolerance can enter a low-energy hibernation state and survive. However, "zombies" cannot withstand high temperatures, and arson can force them out.
"But his meow burns one city after another, and it will burn until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?" Zhang Hong commanded his troops to arrive on the northern front and did nothing, setting fire to the city and houses every day to play. As for whether there are any civilians in the city that can be saved, there is no one, and they are all burned.
America is a developed country at least, and even inland states completed urbanization a hundred years ago, with various small towns and towns everywhere. It takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to burn them all, and it takes a lot of time.
Gosenburg was just an inconspicuous small town. It took three days for the fire to turn the town into white land. During this period, the First Brigade of the Guards swept through more than a dozen other towns around, cleared thousands of human mutations, and killed more than a large number of survivors. No one could determine whether the survivor was infected with the virus. Instead of taking huge risks for medical examinations, it would be easier to kill.
The corpses were covered with the earth, and the smell of burning the bodies spread across the sky. Because of the hot weather, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade of the Guards felt that they were almost smoked into smelly meat, which was really painful. Until one day the Legion sent them the latest virus research results, some liquid purifier.
"What is this thing?"
"It is said that Nova, the chief biochemist behind, caught a special variant and created a virus targeting the 'Incredible virus'. This thing is harmless to ordinary people, and it is not expensive and can be used on a large scale. It only needs to be spread out at a low altitude like a pesticide machine."
“What about the effect?”
"I'm not sure yet. I just say that various human mutations infected with mutant viruses will be quickly killed by this 'purifier'. However, it seems ineffective for advanced third-generation mutants and can only deal with early mutations."
"It's a big help to deal with those ordinary mutants. It's better than letting us set fire all the way. I've long been unable to stand the monsters running around. Whether it doesn't work, it's very troublesome to manage."
The 'Kirov' airship brought Zhang Hongyun hundreds of tons of 'purifier', and the First Brigade of the Guards itself had many brigade-5s that could be used for spreading. The brigade commander Zhang Hong ordered the troops to advance to the next small town east of Gosenburg for experiments.
The simple Yun-5 kept flying into the sky, and used a sprayer to spread the "purifier" to the ground at a height of 100 meters. On the first day of the spread, Zhang Hong and his men were observing stupidly outside the city. There was no reaction in the city, and the drone discovered that the mutant humans in the city were still active as usual.
The second day, the third day, wait until the fourth day...
"Thank God, they finally fell down." Through the images taken in the drone, Zhang Hong saw that the originally active mutant humans slowly lost their ability to move. "We can advance quickly, get rid of the disgusting stench, and fuck the bitches that Yingkelei had to death."
Yeah..., a joyous moment finally came. In the past, Incredley was trying to overthrow the Aurora Legion, but now Incredley is impotence, and it is the Aurora Legion's turn to revenge.
