The third uncle was sitting in the conference room, looking at the screen behind the table.
The picture on the screen is shocking.
The number of zombies stacked up is unpredictable, at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
And this number is still rising.
If there was no moving knife to continuously cut away the stacked zombies,
It is estimated that the zombies have already climbed to a height of more than ten meters, and may even have entered the base.
There are too many people in the trading bazaar, and the popularity is very strong, attracting a large number of zombies.
...
"Cameras No. 1 and 8 installed outside the wall of the trading market were destroyed, but the remaining thirteen cameras are still intact." Dongtai said while looking at the surveillance screen.
These cameras were all transported from the base headquarters. Logically speaking, in such a large area as the trading market, only fifteen cameras outside the wall are not enough.
But there is no way. After so many years of natural disasters, many cameras are broken. Even if some have been repaired, there are always some that cannot be repaired well.
The warehouse that originally stocked a lot of cameras was somewhat stretched.
This time only forty cameras were sent.
In order to protect these cameras, they have thought of various ways.
Stages for placing cameras were built using reinforced concrete at fixed locations.
It is framed with bulletproof glass and a concrete barrier is built above.
But even so, two cameras were still scrapped under the violent storm.
The third uncle looked at the monitoring screen and said solemnly:
"Always pay attention to the situation of the mobile knife."
"Okay, Minister." Dongtai nodded after hearing this.
The doors and windows in the conference room are closed.
Smoke billows.
The third uncle wore Martin boots and stepped on the water on the ground, causing water to splash everywhere.
It has been raining heavily for two days, and there is some water accumulation in Oil City.
Lao Yi next to him saw that his third uncle seemed a little worried, so he comforted him:
"Minister, don't worry, the water is only a few centimeters thick.
There was a natural disaster before, and I was stationed here in Oil City. At that time, the water had risen to two meters high. It was still okay, so we just went upstairs."
The third uncle glanced at him and was too lazy to answer his words.
Can that be the same?
At that time, the drainage system in Oil City had not been upgraded yet. The drainage system here had been upgraded twice, and there was still water accumulation...
call--
But if you think about it carefully, this is a plain after all, not a highland.
Besides, it's raining so hard now, so it's normal for some water to accumulate.
If this level of precipitation is maintained, it is estimated that the water level will not rise too high.
"Open the drainage system gate to the maximum!" Uncle San said to Lao Yi.
"yes."
Lao Yi immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Changsheng, take two people to open the drainage gates of Oil City and Trading Market."
With its floating design, the drainage gate can be opened manually without having to run under the fence.
Just go to the control room to adjust.
This control room not only controls the mobile gate blades, but also controls the gates of the drainage system.
Changsheng stayed in the control room, waiting for orders to make adjustments at any time.
"Copy that." After Changsheng heard what Lao Yi said, he quickly said to the combatants next to him:
"Drainage gates, all open, open to the maximum."
Bang!
The combatants push the putter to the highest position.
Then the barriers to the trading market were opened to the maximum.
Crash--
After the drainage gate is opened to the maximum, the water near the wall instantly flows toward the drain outlet.
A vortex formed at the drain.
.......
Trading bazaar.
The area where Southern Paradise is located.
"Master Hu, the water has receded." Wu Xing said excitedly to Master Hu, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden box.
Master Hu glanced at the water below and sighed.
"I don't know what happened to Madman and the others at the base..."
The room was extremely humid, so Master Hu got off the box wearing slippers.
I walked to the pieced-together steel frame bed, climbed on it, wiped my feet with a piece of cloth, and lay down on the bed.
This bed is not against the wall because the walls are covered with water drops.
But even though it wasn't next to the window, the bedding on the bed was still a little damp.
Master Hu was a little tired and slowly closed his eyes.
The next second, a drop of water fell from the ceiling.
It fell on his forehead.
He opened his eyes instantly and wiped the water drops from his forehead.
I want to curse!
But he still restrained himself.
The house he was in had no windows.
Although he asked people to use iron boxes and other things to block it, the wind and rain outside were too strong.
Water vapor gets in through the gaps and gets in everywhere.
This time there was no sleepiness at all.
He opened a wooden box beside the bed and took out a cigar.
The cigar was also damp, making it a bit choking to smoke.
"Cough cough cough."
Wu Xing saw Master Hu like this, so he said:
"Master Hu, why don't we talk to the people in Oil City and let us in? This house is really simple."
Master Hu coughed a few times, waved his hands and said:
"No, it's not appropriate. They probably won't agree."
"Besides, it's so windy and rainy outside that we can't get out, so don't mess around."
Master Hu sighed again. He had sighed countless times in the past few days.
He couldn't understand why it was so wet.
It's been raining, so the water vapor has condensed into rain.
The leader of a large force, but he stayed in such a shabby place.
I feel a little sad in my heart.
.....
....
Southern paradise.
Nuoda's base looked extremely empty.
But even so, there are still more than twenty people on duty in the guard tower on the fence.
They want to surround the wall.
Until the last moment, they don't want zombies to enter the Southern Paradise.
The gatekeeper Zhang Tianfu did not follow Mr. Hu to Oil City and stayed at the base.
They stayed in the guard tower and did not dare to go out.
As time goes by, there are tens of thousands of zombies outside the walls of Southern Paradise, and these zombies gradually begin to pile up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Tianfu observed from the sentry tower that stacking had begun, so he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Crazy third brother, the zombies outside the wall are starting to pile up."
Sizzling——
The madman heard the sound of the intercom on his chest, put down the wooden board in his hand, and said to the men next to him:
"continue!"
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:
"How high are they stacked?"
Zhang Tianfu looked down and replied: "It's just starting, less than two meters, so there aren't many zombies."
Ten thousand zombies is not a lot, that's relative.
Normally at times like this, there would be at least hundreds of thousands of zombies.
After all, it is raining so heavily now. Fortunately, there are not many people here, less than a hundred people, only a few dozen people, so the popularity is low.
"Come back!" the madman said without hesitation.
"Okay, I will definitely hold on and make sure the zombies don't rush into our base!" Zhang Tianfu said quickly.
"I say come back!" the madman emphasized again.
"Ah?" Zhang Tianfu seemed not to believe his ears.
Bring yourself back?
He, Lao Zhang, has joined Southern Paradise since its founding, and he is one of the first people to join besides the initial members of Mr. Hu.
He has been responsible for guarding the Southern Paradise for five years.
In the past five years, I have experienced countless hardships.
There have even been zombies crawling up during several natural disasters.
But it was still blocked.
Use human lives to fill it and protect this city.
Never take a step back.
But now, the madman, who is the third person in Southern Paradise, has asked himself to retreat!
"Old Zhang, we don't have many people. I originally wanted you to come back when this natural disaster first arrived, but I thought you might not be willing."
"But now, there is no need to guard the wall. There are only twenty or so people on the wall. How can we hold the base of Nuo Da?"
"What's more, the wind and rain are so strong that I can't stand firmly, so how can I stop the zombies?"
"Find a way to come back. Let's just concentrate on guarding this building."
The madman said a lot, but he can sum it up in one sentence:
Abandon the wall, retreat into the building, and protect the building.
Lao Zhang held the walkie-talkie and was silent for a long time.
The orders he had received before were to guard the wall and not let a zombie enter the city.
But now...
He suddenly felt a sad feeling.
I think about how prosperous the Southern Paradise was back then.
The population ranged from several thousand to tens of thousands at one time.
Countless survivors gathered outside the wall who wanted to take refuge.
At that time, if they wanted to, they could even make the population of Southern Paradise exceed 100,000.
However, due to food pressure, even if so many people come in, they will not be able to feed them.
Moreover, after entering, I am also worried that it will cause riots and bring management pressure.
Can only refuse.
But at that time, Lao Zhang always felt a sense of pride as the little leader who protected the fence.
Because so many people want to join but can't.
But the subsequent natural disasters became more terrifying each time.
Famine, natural disasters, zombie waves, thugs in the apocalypse...
It's weakening Southland a little bit.
He could clearly feel the decline of the base.
A sense of sadness permeated his heart.
It made him look ten years older in an instant.
"Did you hear that? Lao Zhang! Come back alive!"
The madman didn't hear Zhang Tianfu's answer for a long time, and said with some worry:
"Talent is the most important thing! I hope you can understand."
The madman knows him well and understands his feelings for this city.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Tianfu's voice was hoarse.
"Um."
Zhang Tianfu took a few minutes to accept this decision.
He slowly exhaled a breath of thick air.
Turning his head to a subordinate behind him, he said:
"Bring the rope here."
The subordinate handed over the rope.
Zhang Tianfu tied the thick rope around his waist, "Tie it up, let's pick up the others and return to the city."
The two men nodded and tied the rope around their waists like Zhang Tianfu.
The ropes were tied one meter apart to prevent them from blowing off the wall in the wind.
"Okay, are you all ready? Let's go out." Zhang Tianfu was carrying a backpack and a gun hanging on his shoulder.
"Okay, Captain." The two said in unison.
All three of them were carrying bags, which contained the food they had brought.
This sentry tower is cylindrical in shape, small in area, hollow, and has narrow spiral steps up and down inside.
It is about ten meters higher than the wall.
It can lead to the wall or to the ground inside the city.
The three of them walked down the spiral steps holding the rope.
A few minutes later, they walked to the ground inside the city.
"Everyone, get ready. Get off the tower and come to the ground inside the city. I'll pick you up." Lao Zhang picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the guards in other towers.
.....
A few minutes later.
Through the door, you can feel how big the storm is outside.
The rain kept hitting the door, making loud noises.
Zhang Tianfu looked at the closed door, gritted his teeth, and moved the iron bar behind the door.
boom!
Wind and rain suddenly blew in, knocking the door against the wall.
Zhang Tianfu bent over and lowered his body's center of gravity.
Facing the wind and rain, he let the rain beat on his head.
pain!
It's as uncomfortable as if someone was holding pebbles and throwing them at your head.
When the rain reaches a certain speed, it is almost the same as hail hitting the head.
Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
He yelled at the two people behind him: "Go against the wall."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front.
He leaned against the wall, facing the wind and rain, and took the first step with great difficulty.
Step two.
Every step is extremely difficult.
Because the wind is very strong, it keeps blowing inside.
Bah!
He pulled on the door handle with force.
Finally reached the door.
He had just taken the first step out the door and was about to walk against the wall.
The next second.
The wind from the left was blowing towards him, bang!
He smashed him to the ground.
The men behind him were pulled by the rope, and the rope suddenly became tight.
Under the sentry tower, there are long concrete walls on the left and right sides.
The wind is very strong, fast and chaotic. After hitting the wall, the wind will not disappear completely, but will go in both directions.
So after he walked out of the door, he was slapped to the ground by the wind from both sides.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Captain!!!" The two men behind him shouted worriedly.
About to rush out.
"Don't come over here, lie down on the ground and crawl!" Zhang Tianfu roared angrily.
Although it hurt a little when his head hit the ground, he found that lying on his stomach seemed to make him feel better, as he didn't have to bear such strong wind force.
When the two men heard this, they quickly lay down and crawled out of the door.
“It seems like the pressure is much less!”
The wind and rain were so loud that if they didn't shout, they would still be inaudible even though they were only one meter apart.
In this way, they slowly climbed to the next sentry tower in a crawling posture.
It has to be said that crawling is much faster than walking.
Walk against the wind, take one step forward and take two steps back.
If not, it might be easily carried away by the wind, blown to the side, or bumped into some objects.
The human body is a mortal body. If you hit it a few times, it will break if it hits a key part.
It took them ten minutes to climb to another guard tower.
Climbing outside the door, he knocked hard on the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
The door opened.
"Where are the people?"
"On the ground!"
"Captain, why are you lying on the ground? I'll help you up."
"Don't help me! You lie down too!"
"Why, there is water on the ground!"
"Just lie down if I tell you to!"
"Oh! Wow! It's quite comfortable lying on my stomach. I feel the pressure is relieved."
"Tie the rope on your body to the back of Chengfeng."
After saying that, he crawled forward, and finally took advantage of the wind to connect the rope to the two people on the sentry tower.
The two of them had already tied their waists with ropes and tied them with wind-riding ropes.
They could actually climb right back to the middle building.
But the wind was too strong.
Without each other's ties, it would be extremely easy to be blown down by the wind and hit the wall.
They were walking close to the wall now, and the wall blocked most of the wind for them.
Later, the wind will become stronger in the open space from the wall to the middle of the building.
So the more people there are, the greater the weight and the safer it is.
very slow.
It took a full hour and a half to pick up all the people in the sentry tower.
"Captain, the zombie wave has piled up to five or six meters high." The last person who came down from the sentry tower shouted.
"Okay. You pick up the last one. Don't let go of the rope or stand up!" Zhang Tianfu glanced at the people behind him.
It seems that he is worried that other people behind him will not hear what he says.
"Meow Meow, please pass on what I said."
"yes!"
A few minutes later.
Zhang Tianfu pulled the rope, indicating that everyone could set off at the same time.
Everyone stood side by side, with ropes tied around their waists.
Braving the wind and rain, I climbed to the open space leading to the central building.
Just climbed out from under the wall.
Sudden.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
An iron can rubbed the ground and hit a person in the team on the back.
hiss!
He endured the pain and gritted his teeth and persisted.
Bang bang bang!
In the wind and rain, some branches were broken and fell on them.
More of it is some gravel.
They protected their heads, exerted force on their elbows, and squirmed bit by bit.
