Since the road we took was less than two kilometers away from the Ganjiang River, there were quite a few zombies here.
In fact, there are not many zombies here during the day, but at night many zombies come out of the river, making the road here suddenly occupied by zombies.
"Holy shit, why are there so many zombies here? There were never so many when we passed by here before!" Cannon looked at the dense group of zombies outside through the bulletproof glass and exclaimed.
Li Gang, who was holding a bottle and drinking water next to him, glanced at him and said:
"We used to travel during the day, so we never came out at night."
"But night and day are simply two different worlds."
During the conversation.
Bang!
A zombie with amazing jumping ability directly hit the iron mesh outside the bulletproof glass.
The zombie grabbed the iron net and slowly came directly opposite the cannon's sight.
Boom, boom, boom!
This zombie kept knocking on the iron net, making a huge noise.
"Scared me!" Da Pao saw a zombie less than one meter away from him suddenly appear in front of him, and immediately lost the ability to control his expression.
If it weren't for the iron mesh and bulletproof glass outside, I would definitely have been caught by this zombie.
Looking at this zombie, I found that its limbs were very slender, well-proportioned and coordinated.
"This is a sensitive zombie with amazing jumping ability!"
Li Gang looked at the zombie and continued:
"Our team searching for building materials encountered this once before."
Cannon frowned and said:
"This is unscientific. Our control room is more than four meters above the ground. How can this zombie jump so high?!"
"To be precise, it didn't jump up. Didn't you see it just now? This zombie climbed up. It climbed up by stepping on the zombies below." Li Gang replied.
"Can it still crawl? How disgusting!" Cannon saw that the zombie was still baring its teeth and claws in front of him, affecting his vision, so he pressed the white button next to it.
beep--
Two sharp blades quickly crossed from both sides!
It is similar to a vehicle wiper, except that it has two sharp knives.
Phew!
The zombie was immediately divided into four, and the zombie body slowly fell towards the ground, being eaten by the zombies below.
At the same time, slime from the zombie corpses splashed onto the bulletproof glass.
The cannon pressed another button.
呲呲——
Spray a few streams of water from the roof of the car to wash away the slime debris on the bulletproof glass.
Only then did the wipers outside the bulletproof glass begin to operate.
This Big Mac is different from the usual vehicles in that it has two floors.
The first layer is the iron net outside. It is more like an iron railing than an iron net. The railings are equipped with sharp knife gates to clean out the zombies that climb up.
The second layer is bulletproof glass, which is very strong.
Like other normal vehicles, it is equipped with wipers to clean away mucus or rainwater stained on it.
Cannon, who had regained his normal vision, frowned and said to Li Gang:
"There are too many zombies. Turn on the meat grinder, otherwise the speed will be slowed down by the zombies."
Li Gang picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Lao Luo behind him, who gave him a reply.
"open it."
The cannon started the meat grinder without hesitation.
Bang bang bang!
Squeak——
I saw that the originally closed armor plate in front of the Big Mac suddenly opened to both sides.
Move the meat grinder out from inside, after this meat grinder is moved out.
Start automatically.
Click, click, click!
The sharp blades tumbled, crushing the zombies involved in them.
This meat grinder is somewhat similar to a harvester, but unlike the harvester, the blades used in this meat grinder are sharper and stronger.
The efficiency of this meat grinder in killing zombies is extremely astonishing. Almost a dozen zombies will be sucked into it every second and then crushed into pieces by the blade.
Where the Big Mac passed by, it left a pile of body parts and debris, which were quickly looted by other zombies.
The tires also kept crushing the zombies. The zombies' bodies were easily crushed like fragile little watermelons under the huge tires.
rear.
Lao Luo looked at the picture projected on the screen by the drone, his expression a little grim.
The screen shows a drone flying over the Big Mac.
It can be seen from the screen that outside the mobile fortress where they are located, they are surrounded by zombies from all directions.
And in front, the number of zombies has not decreased, there are still so many zombies.
"How low is the speed now?" Lao Luo picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Li Gang.
Li Gang glanced at the dashboard and replied: "13 kilometers per hour."
13 kilometers per hour, this speed is not an exaggeration to describe as a turtle speed.
Even if it takes ten hours to drive, it is only 130 kilometers, which is too slow.
At this speed, I don’t know if we can arrive in Changshi as scheduled tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, Lao Luo quickly said: "Can you increase the speed to 15 kilometers?"
Li Gang replied helplessly:
"No, we just tested it. Our car itself is not very fast, and it is heavy. Now there are so many zombies blocking the front, which seriously affects our speed.
If the meat grinder hadn't been turned on, our speed would have dropped to single digits per hour."
"Okay, that's all we can do now." Lao Luo put down the walkie-talkie.
The lights in the car were bright, and he looked at another screen on the wall of the car.
What was displayed on that screen was the footage from the drone three kilometers away.
There are still zombies on the road...
Nowadays, zombies are rarely encountered on the road during the day, but they are all out at night.
What a headache. This is all I can do tonight.
They must speed up during the day tomorrow. According to the original plan, they will arrive in Changshi tomorrow morning and they will be able to cross the cross-river bridge before sunset.
If you wait until night before passing the cross-river bridge, your scalp will go numb just thinking about it.
The river was full of zombies. So many zombies gathered on the bridge, which added a huge burden to the bridge. They also drove this Big Mac across it, and the bridge might not be able to hold up.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The bridge cannot hold up and breaks, and their entire car will fall down, and they will surely die.
Therefore, you must cross the cross-river bridge during daylight hours.
If you can't make it during the day tomorrow, you have to wait another day.
...
Big camphor tree base.
As the countdown to thunderstorm natural disasters begins, everyone from top to bottom is more or less worried.
This feeling of approaching storm makes people feel as if a stone is weighing on their hearts.
Anxiety, apprehension.
It is precisely because we have experienced several natural disasters that we understand the horror of natural disasters.
certainly.
There are also some very optimistic people who have great confidence in the Da Zhangshu Base.
I feel that the Da Zhangshu base has survived so many natural disasters, and it can survive this time as well.
Nowadays, the buffer city wall of Dazhangshu Base has been built to a height of more than seven meters. After all, it covers an area of 20,000 acres, and the perimeter of the wall is nearly tens of thousands of meters.
Due to the deployment of nearly 2,000 additional collaborators and non-staff personnel, the current Da Zhangshu base has less than 5,000 people.
After these days of busy work, Dazhangshu Base has made full preparations to withstand natural disasters.
People in the surrounding satellite cities also retreated to the buffer zone today.
The temperature is also rising day by day, but the temperature at the end of May is almost the same as that in summer.
Even at night, the temperature is still 30 degrees.
Li Yu came to the balcony from the bedroom and looked at the silent night sky.
Due to the existence of the buffer city, the zombies that came out at night were isolated hundreds of meters away, and with the obstruction of three walls, he could not hear the roar of the zombies in the inner city at all.
Looking up at the moon, the moonlight is dim.
The bamboo forest not far behind the villa area swayed with the evening breeze.
"I don't know how Gangzi and the others are doing now..."
Li Yugang wanted to light a cigarette, but after thinking about it, he restrained himself.
...
"Why don't you fire a few shots and blow up those zombies in front of you!" Canao looked at the densely packed zombies at the turning corner in front, turned to Lao Luo and said.
"no."
Lao Luo decisively refused:
"There is a mountain next to it. If the artillery shells are not fired accurately, the hillside collapses and the road is blocked, we will not be able to get through; and the sound of the artillery shells is so loud, it will attract more zombies."
"Okay." Cannon reluctantly gave up.
I just feel a little itchy looking at so many zombies in front of me. So far, the weapons and equipment of this vehicle have only been tested with a meat grinder, and the other 155MM howitzers have not been used.
In fact, there is no need to use those weapons along the way. This Big Mac is seven or eight meters tall. The tires alone are two or three meters high and can be pushed across. After all, zombies are not as tall as a Big Mac.
The tires are high.
This night was a test for this Big Mac.
But what makes Cannon and the others feel fortunate is that there have never been any major problems.
It's just that there were zombies all over the road, so they couldn't see the road clearly, which caused some bumps.
The chassis of this car is fully enclosed, which is completely different from the usual car chassis. The lower part is fully enclosed, sealing all components such as the motor, so zombies cannot touch it at all.
There were no zombie corpses entangled in the tires.
The gaps between the tires are also large enough for zombie corpses to be rolled out.
....
Everyone took turns driving the mobile fortress.
One night passed.
At around five o'clock, the number of zombies on the road began to slowly decrease.
Cannon, Lao Luo and others have already rested, and Li Gang is still on duty here to control the entire vehicle.
"Zhongshi Yang, please turn off the meat grinder."
Commander Yang nodded and then turned off the meat grinder.
beep--
The meat grinder slowly retracts.
Click——
The armor plates on both sides move toward the middle.
Boom!
Finally merge to form a baffle.
Li Gang rubbed his swollen eyes. He took a rest at nine o'clock in the evening and slept until about four o'clock in the morning when he came to replace Lao Luo.
But he didn't get much sleep last night, and the car kept shaking.
The car body kept hitting and crushing the zombies, making a very noisy sound that made his sleep difficult.
"Leave it alone, I'll make some tea to refresh myself." Li Gang said to Zhongshi Yang.
Then he returned to the living area, took a thermos cup, poured a cup of hot water, and put some old tea leaves in it.
Smelling the dense aroma of tea made him feel refreshed.
Xiao Liu passed by him, knocked down the upper shelf, climbed up, removed the drone, and replaced it with a fully charged drone.
After doing this, he took the shelf back and pressed a button next to it again.
The armor plate on the drone is opened, and the platform under the drone rises to the roof of the car.
Woo——
The drone flew off the roof of the car under Xiao Liu's control.
Li Gang made tea and sat in the command seat behind the driver's seat.
I looked at my watch and saw it was past five o'clock.
It's probably going to be dawn soon.
Ten minutes later, the sky was burning with clouds, and the red clouds were very beautiful.
After the sun comes up, the number of zombies on the roadside decreases again.
"Increase the speed to 25 kilometers per hour!" Li Gang quickly said to Zhongshi Yang after seeing the number of zombies decreasing.
Boom!
The Big Mac accelerates relatively quickly, after all, it is a tram.
There was a slight recoil, and the scenery on both sides swept back at a faster speed.
They have now arrived at Zhangshi, south of Changshi.
It is estimated that we will be there in fifty kilometers, and at the current speed, we will be there in two hours.
If we can ensure that no accidents occur in the future, we should be able to cross the river-crossing bridge across Wu City before dark.
As long as today passes, they can be confident that they will arrive in Oil City before noon tomorrow.
....
....
Northern Territory.
Thirteen Powers Roundtable.
Thirteen leaders representing all the affiliated forces in the north gathered together, and they discussed the upcoming thunderstorm natural disaster.
"I'm not convinced! Why should I be assigned a duty position for the Mighty Gang at the front entrance? The zombie wave here must be the most ferocious!" A dwarf who was only 1.35 meters tall stepped on a stool and patted the table to express himself.
dissatisfaction.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing what he said, someone immediately retorted:
"This is decided by drawing lots, and we are not bullying you. You see, He Weiming and the others have no objection to guarding the southwest side. There is a river down there, so it is difficult to guard it!"
Others also responded:
"Yes, Gao Weimeng, everyone is drawn by lot, just accept it."
"Yeah, don't make everyone unhappy."
"Short, I don't mind riding on horseback to guard the back door, what else do you want??!"
Faced with the verbal and written criticism, Gao Weimeng put back his short legs and sat down on the stool cross-legged with anger.
He is only 1.35 meters tall, so when he sits down, he is much shorter than others.
"Okay, what else do we want to talk about?" Gao Weimeng said impatiently.
Someone said:
"I think we should nominate one person to coordinate the process, otherwise it would be too inefficient to have to hold a meeting every time we make a decision."
The words just fell.
A big man stood up and said:
"I don't agree! It's good like it is now. Each team has different power, but they all have the right to vote. I think it is the most reasonable."
"What if this person is elected and some people are dissatisfied? It will not lead to a fight."
"That's it, every time there is a meeting to vote, the easiest way is to draw lots."
After he finished speaking, seven or eight people immediately responded.
"You're right, I don't agree with it either."
"It's good as it is."

Oil City.
Ju Tianrui woke up. He had slept for two whole days.
After waking up, his mind was clearer and refreshed than ever before.
Thinking of the mess he had made in the trading market a few days ago, he slapped his head.
Sure enough, I can’t keep doing things!
People's energy is limited. They always work day and night, and their brains gradually become stagnant. Many things cannot be understood clearly.
At this moment, he finally understood the reason why the minister asked him to go and rest immediately.
Hungry!
When he woke up, his stomach felt empty and even a little painful.
He quickly got up and went downstairs to find something to eat.
"Batalion Commander, you're awake." Dongtai walked over holding a bunch of keys.
"Hmm, has the minister gone back? Who is in charge of the oil city now?" Ju Tianrui asked after seeing Dongtai.
"He's still there. The minister is not going back to the headquarters base. He wants to stay."
"Great!" Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Battal Commander, the thunderstorm disaster is expected to arrive in three days, and I have to sleep until tomorrow because of you!" Dongtai said with a smile.
