Chapter 688: Big Killer [8500 words big chapter, four in one]

The Western Alliance is located in the upper reaches of the long river, so it has not been affected by floods.

But even so, they suffered heavy losses in such a torrential rain.

The heavy rain has been falling for five consecutive days. Since the Zhang family and the Zhou family left, the number of people has been reduced to 4,500. In the past five days, because Gan Xiong adopted the human wall strategy, the number of people has been reduced to less than 4,000.

What is the human wall strategy?

It means pushing all the available hands in the base against the wall and carrying the zombies that are surrounding them.

In addition, some new people are on standby under the wall at any time. If the people on the wall are bitten by zombies, they can jump on them at any time.

Trade your life for time.

Most of them were slaves captured before, followed by peripheral members of the Gan family, and core members holding guns to supervise the battle below.

Once anyone is found retreating, they will be shot on the spot.

Under this cruel system, we managed to withstand the zombie attack.

Of course, many people were sacrificed.

However, Gan Xiong didn't care about all this.

With the lessons learned from these natural disasters, he understood the truth that having too many people is not a good thing.

The strategy of elite soldiers is the way to survive for a long time.

When there are more people, they will eat if they open their mouths. If there is no food, they will riot. In order to maintain the normal operation of the base, we can only give them a little food.

After all, these people have been in the base from the beginning.

It's hard to get rid of them even if you try to get rid of them, and it's hard to sort out the inextricable relationships.

It is very troublesome to manage, and consumes a lot of their energy, making them want to do something and hesitate.

And if you don't do it right, it can easily lead to civil strife.

This time, a lot of the food was flooded, and a small amount of it was moldy. Most of the moldy food was given to those who rushed against the wall.

For Gan Xiong, he can use these people to resist zombies and reduce the number of people, killing two birds with one stone.

A six-story building.

Gan Xiong moved here from his original small courtyard. Due to recent heavy rains, the water in the base has reached an adult's waist level.

He looked at the wind and rain outside the window, and the occasional flashes of thunder and lightning, and murmured: "The Zhang family is gone, the Zhou family is gone, wait until the number of people is reduced this time, and then we can relax and do some things."

"

Outside this building, Qianlong and Wayne were scattered under the wall, leading a group of people to supervise the people on the wall.

Tian Sheng led a group of people to clean the drainage pipes in the base and find a way to drain the accumulated water in the base, but the heavy rain was really too heavy.

When we originally designed the size of the drainage outlet, we did not consider such a heavy rainstorm, so even after the sediment was cleared and the drainage pipe was unobstructed, we did not consider it.

Although the water level in the base has slowed down a lot, it is still rising.

Rao City.

Sanqing Mountain.

A warm cabin with a peaceful atmosphere.

Sanqing Mountain is originally extremely steep, strangely steep and dangerous.

Even before the end of the world, people had to use both hands and feet to climb up mountains in some dangerous places.

And at this time it was raining heavily.

Make the way up the mountain more difficult.

During the heavy rain, all the sediment and rocks in the mountains were washed down.

Invisibly, it makes it more difficult for the zombies at the bottom of the mountain to climb up.

So far, no zombie has come close.

Xu Chengcai also braved the heavy rain in the past few days to cut down some trees and insert them in the aisle under the platform to form a block to prevent zombies from climbing up.

After exiting this passage, there is only a small cliff with a height of more than ten meters in front of it, and it is difficult for the number of zombies here to stack up.

In addition, he also took out a rope, made a circle around the wooden house, tightened it and inserted it into the roller blind, and set up a device. If the rope is pushed by gravity to a certain extent, the inside of the cabin will be

The tin can fell to the ground.

During heavy rain, these ropes would inevitably be blown and the device would be pulled. After Xu Chengcai debugged it a few times, he simulated a zombie, bumped into the rope, and pulled the rope forward to two meters, then the reminder device would be triggered.

The strong wind and rain would at most make the rope sway, but it would not be able to pull the rope two meters away.

However, in the past few days, some rotten wood scraped from the top of the mountain also triggered this device twice.

However, some wooden fences installed on the mountain, ropes surrounding them, and double insurance made Xu Chengcai feel more at ease.

Thunder and lightning.

Xu Chengcai took the huge piece of rotten wood that had been scraped off the day before, chopped it into several pieces with a knife, and made it into a stool.

In this small house of 13 square meters, apart from food and some things in the warehouse, the most they had for their bedding and luggage was firewood.

The room that was originally dirty and messy now becomes tidy.

I can't say it's clean, but it's more organized than when I first discovered this place.

Xu Chengcai was in this hut, holding a dagger and carving the rotten tree roots that rolled down two days ago.

On the other side, Xiaoyong was holding a palm-sized Xinhua dictionary. After less than five seconds, he put down the Xinhua dictionary and began to look at the wood carving in his father's hand.

Xu Chengcai's swordsmanship is excellent, meticulous, and his control over details is so powerful that it is abnormal, and he is also extremely strong in control of strength.

Although he has not specifically learned carving, he is extremely talented and looks very cool with this dagger in his hands.

"Dad, can you teach me how to use a knife?" Xiaoyong said with stars in his eyes.

In his eyes, his father is the most powerful person. He can hit a squirrel with a dagger from more than ten meters away. He can hit a squirrel with one hit by hearing the sound without seeing the snake.

The wood carvings carved at this time look extremely delicate.

Xu Chengcai raised his head and saw Xiaoyong reading a few pages of the Xinhua Dictionary, then put it down and said, "What did you say just now? You have to read three pages before you can rest."

This Xinhua Dictionary is the only book Xu Chengcai brings to Xiaoyong.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this Xinhua dictionary, every word has pinyin, annotations, sentences, and even some short stories.

It's already very complete.

When Xiaoyong heard his father urging him to read the Xinhua Dictionary again, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, is literacy still useful now? There is no need to take a test."

Xu Chengcai shook his head and said: "Of course it is useful. You only need to read this Xinhua Dictionary. It is enough. Although it is the end of the world, you don't want to become illiterate. And maybe one day, the zombies will be defeated by humans and the end of the world will end."

."

"Is it really possible?" Xiaoyong raised his head and asked expectantly.

He didn't want to be in fear all day long, and he didn't want to see his father face so many zombies and worry about them biting his father.

"Yes." Xu Chengcai said seriously, his tone full of determination.

It was as if he was stating a fact.

"How long will it take?" Xiaoyong asked seriously.

"It's not far." Xu Chengcai was unsure, but he still said so.

"Oh." Xiaoyong said. He felt that Xu Chengcai was unsure of his answer and felt that it would take a long, long time.

Then he lowered his head and continued to look at the Xinhua Dictionary.

Seeing his unhappy look, Xu Chengcai looked at the wood carving and dagger in his hand, turned his eyes, and said to Xiaoyong: "Xiaoyong, I will teach you how to use the dagger, do you want it?"

Xiaoyong jumped up quickly and said happily: "Yes! I will become more powerful than dad, and I will protect dad when the time comes."

Xu Chengcai was slightly startled, his eyes were hot.

He originally thought that Xiaoyong just wanted to learn how to carve and have fun.

But I didn't expect that Xiaoyong learned how to use a knife in order to become stronger and protect himself.

This is just a child of eight or nine years old. In the past two years or so, Xiaoyong has been extremely stunted and looks one or two years younger than his actual age.

Before the end of the world, boys of this age were at their most noisy, but Xiaoyong

After looking at the food in the warehouse, Xu Chengcai decided to teach him how to use a knife.

There was not enough food before, and I was hungry all day and had no strength. How could I still have the energy to teach? How could Xiaoyong still have the energy to learn, so I never taught him before.

But now that there is enough food for the time being, Xiaoyong can learn something and protect himself when the time comes.

So, Xu Chengcai said seriously: "Okay, I'll teach you."

"Oh yeah!" Xiaoyong shouted excitedly. He had asked his father to teach him many times, but he always refused. Unexpectedly, his father agreed this time.

He is very happy.
