Chapter 1314 Oil array, mountains of corpses and seas of fire!
The massive tide of zombies rushed over, and after being bombarded by more than a hundred artillery pieces of various types,
The tide of corpses stagnated, buying time for the oil formation to open.
Ten minutes later.
Crack!
Outside the outer wall of the trading market, with the opening of the oil array.
Oil flows from the Oil City, through the underground pipelines of the trading bazaar, to outside the walls of the trading bazaar.
Boom!
A cannonball exploded in the zombie wave, igniting the oil at the same time.
Amid the explosion, a flame more than ten meters high rose up.
Hundreds of artillery pieces of various types bombarded the area, igniting the oil in the oil array at many points outside the wall.
Swish, swish, swish!
The burning flames broke out at multiple points, connecting the points into lines, and the lines into surfaces, and soon formed a sea of fire.
The area covered by the Petroleum Array is centered on Petroleum City and covers a surrounding area of four kilometers.
These four kilometers are now burning with raging fire.
Stab, prick, prick—
The sound of the burning flames was a bit harsh.
The heavy rain falling from the sky not only failed to extinguish the flames, but actually fueled them.
Because oil and water are incompatible, and oil is lighter than water, it will float on the water.
It will increase the surface area for oil and gas contact, and the fire intensity will increase after the oil and gas are fully contacted.
The fire became more and more fierce.
The zombie's body itself contains a lot of flammable decaying substances, and if it is contaminated with some oil, it will burn more easily.
In the sea of zombie fire, all you can see are burning zombies.
These zombies are like dry firewood. Once lit, they can only be extinguished by burning into ashes.
The fire made the sky red. The guards on the wall of the trading market closest to the sea of fire all had their faces turned red by the fire.
mountains of corpses and seas of fire,
These four words fully express what Chen Er and others saw.
Countless waves of zombies burned in the flames.
There was a putrid and burning smell in the air that was nauseating.
In the trading market.
Many survivors ran out of the houses. Looking at the shells flying in the sky, the whole sky was reflected red.
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd:
"Is there a fire outside?"
"It seems like hey, I heard there seems to be an oil array here? When we entered the trading market, didn't you see those small ditches? That should be the one."
"This trading market is so fierce, with so many tricks!"
"Yes, I saw the knife when I came in. It seems to be used to defend against zombies."
"No wonder Oil City is so confident. It's the right time to come here."
"If we didn't come in, we would probably have died in the thunderstorms a few days ago. I still think the thunderstorms some time ago were more terrifying!"
"Have you never thought about how much oil this consumes?"
"I'm afraid you have forgotten what this place is. This is called Oil City. It was originally a place that could produce oil. The most indispensable thing is oil."
"Damn, I almost forgot about this, this oil city is so scary!"
.....
After seeing the flying shells and the burning oil array outside, many survivors were shocked by the powerful foundation of the Oil City.
Most people are very happy that they have entered the trading market.
With the weather these days, they are not very confident that they can survive.
But now they can still stay here safe and sound.
A feeling of joy arose spontaneously.
...
The area where Southern Paradise personnel are located.
Mr. Hu walked out of the room. Even standing here, he could still feel some heat coming from outside. You can imagine how big the flame was!
"Master Hu, this should be what they call the oil array. Look at the sky being burned red, and I don't know how much oil was used. It's so luxurious!" Wu Xing looked at the sky and sighed.
luxury!
Their Southern Paradise needs to come up with various supplies to exchange for fuel with Oil City.
Every time you exchange the fuel, you must use it sparingly.
But this oil city directly takes so much oil and uses it to burn zombies!
I'm afraid that the amount burned this time alone is at least dozens of tons.
Otherwise, such a large-scale sea of fire would never be possible.
After all, it surrounds the entire trading market in such a large area.
Master Hu was wearing slippers, looking at the red clouds in the sky, and said with emotion:
"It seems that the effect of stopping zombies should be pretty good."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly.
I feel like my breathing is not smooth.
Wu Xing next to him gasped twice and said:
"Am I the only one who feels a little suffocated?"
"Why do I feel like there's not enough oxygen?"
A person next to him quickly said: "Brother Angkor, I also feel a little dizzy. Is the smell of these burning zombies poisonous?"
"How is it possible? It's only a few years since the end of the world, and we still don't know how zombie infection spreads. It can only be done through biting and breaking the skin!" said another person.
Master Hu frowned and looked at the fire on the horizon.
"Combustion requires oxygen in the air. The combustion of such a large oil array will extract a lot of oxygen in an instant, which will definitely lead to some hypoxia."
Hearing Master Hu say this, everyone was a little worried.
"ah?"
The surrounding men asked in panic:
"Then will we suffocate to death!?"
Wu Xing cursed: "How is it possible? Our place is not completely enclosed. Isn't there still air circulation in the sky?"
"right."
Master Hu took a deep breath and said:
"Don't worry, everyone. Although there will be some hypoxia, it will definitely not be fatal."
When everyone heard Master Hu say this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But the feeling of lack of oxygen is really uncomfortable.
.....
Wall of trading market.
Zhu Xiao felt hot all over. He stretched out his hand to touch the wall in front of him and felt a little hot.
They were closest to the sea of zombie fire, and the rainwater on the wall was baked and hot.
He quickly took a few steps back.
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
The rain is still falling, lowering the temperature slightly.
But the feeling of being unable to take a breath made him extremely uncomfortable.
Chen Er looked a little depressed and said to Zhu Xiao:
"Have you used this oil array before?"
Zhu Xiao nodded slightly and said:
"We have used it before, but not on the scale it is now."
Seeing the worry in Chen Er's eyes, he said with relief: "Don't worry, lack of oxygen is normal. You will get used to it after a while."
Chen Er covered his chest and leaned against the wall of the sentry tower behind.
But it seemed that he still couldn't support his body, so he had to sit on the wall full of water.
The fence was covered with rainwater. He sat down and his buttocks were soaked in the rainwater.
After sitting down, it took him a while to feel better.
He slowly climbed up holding on to the wall.
Sure enough, after getting used to it for a while, the extremely dizzy feeling disappeared.
But I still have some slight difficulty breathing.
Outside the wall.
The zombies were like being fried in a pan of oil, being devoured by flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Er watched quietly as one of the zombies, covered in flames, surged forward crazily.
Some of the zombies in front are also covered in flames.
The zombie wave completely turned into a sea of fire.
...
The third uncle stood on the wall of the Oil City. After seeing the excellent results achieved by the opening of the oil array, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order:
"All artillery, suspend attacks!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
...
Ten seconds later, as the last shell was fired, the explosion that lasted for more than ten minutes finally stopped.
The explosion just now was so loud that it made people's ears buzz.
At this time, the explosion suddenly stopped, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Jun took off the noise-cancelling headset, and a roar of zombies came from the roaring tsunami.
It makes people tremble when they hear it.
He picked up the telescope and looked carefully at the zombie wave in the distance.
In the sea of fire, the zombie tide was successfully held back, and countless zombies were burning.
call--
Heaving a sigh of relief, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Marcello:
"Mr. Ma, how much oil do we have in reserve?"
After hearing Xiao Jun's inquiry, Marseille, who was staying in the oil warehouse in Oil City, answered:
"I just checked, there are 2,000 tons of oil, 450 tons of gasoline, 350 tons of diesel..."
After hearing him say that there were still 2,000 tons left, Xiao Jun did some calculations.
Nearly 40 tons of oil have just been injected. If this happens, it can be done again fifty times.
Based on previous experience, a burning session can last at least half a day.
However, the burning area was not so large before, and the oil array built outside the Oil City was not even a quarter of the current size.
Calculated roughly based on the area, the oil should be able to burn for about three hours.
Fifty times, it should last 150 hours.
It can keep burning for about 6 days.
After calculating this data, Xiao Jun's heart sank.
But then he thought about it, there was no need to keep burning.
Just wait for the zombies to arrive at the oil formation, accumulate a wave, and burn again.
This way the time can be extended a bit longer.
.....
"Count the remaining cannonballs!" Third Uncle said to Xiao Jun next to him.
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the wall.
His physique is relatively good, and it only took a few minutes for him to get used to the somewhat hypoxic environment.
Drenched all over, he dragged the rain all over his body and returned to the conference room.
Leaning next to the operator, he said to the operator:
"Contact the headquarters base and report today's situation."
"Okay, Minister."
The operator immediately adjusted the channel and contacted the headquarters base.
"This is oil city..."
....
"Minister, the call has been put through!" the operator turned to the third uncle and said.
The third uncle asked him to stand up and put on the headset himself.
There are some things that are not convenient for everyone to know, such as the fact that this time they brought a zombie attracting potion.
"Third uncle, second uncle is here. What's going on here?"
Li Yu sat in the lobby on the first floor of the basement and asked.
Dong Ying has assembled many wireless long-wave radio stations. In addition to placing several in the duty room, he also placed one in the conference room.
In order to be able to contact Uncle San and the others at any time, Li Yu placed another one in the villa.
“Things are not looking good!”
The third uncle twisted the rainwater from his trouser legs with one hand and continued:
"There are too many people in the trading market, and the number of zombies is terrifying. I think there may be as many as the last time the potion was released in the north!"
After all, it was the zombie attracting potion that was put in that time that attracted so many zombies.
Those are tens of millions of zombies!
The second uncle's expression was a little solemn and he glanced at Li Yu:
"It is indeed possible. After all, it is in the Central Plains. The number of zombies is originally higher than that in the north."
The third uncle continued:
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry. Now that the zombie wave has been suppressed, I ordered the artillery to be fired. The combination of the mobile knife and the oil array can completely resist the zombie wave at this stage!"
When Li Yu heard what his third uncle said, he was not relieved.
On the contrary, I am even more worried.
So many heavy weapons, mobile knives, and even oil formations.
Compared with other forces, it is considered to be a strong confidence that is at the bottom of the box.
But now, all of them were used to suppress the tens of millions of zombies.
You can imagine how terrifying this zombie wave is.
This is why the Northern Territory, which was so powerful at the beginning, can no longer withstand the tens of millions of zombies.
What's more, the wall in the north is twice as high as that in Oil City.
Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but think of the current northern border.
Can those affiliated force members resist?
but.
Those members of the affiliated forces in the North certainly don't have to face tens of millions of zombies like the current Oil City or the original Northern Tigers.
Firstly, there were not many people, and secondly, no zombie attracting potions were used, so the number of zombies attracted by the popularity should not be many.
But whether they can survive it depends on their own destiny.
When he left, he had returned all the weapons to him and them.
Including the protection fees previously paid, they were also returned to them.
Just hope they can survive.
Even if these people really can't bear it and die in the zombie wave, it is their own choice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, they were given two choices, one was to move to Oil City.
Another option is to stay in the northern outer city.
Li Yu frowned and asked:
"How many days can the oil last?"
The third uncle remembered the calculation that Xiao Jun told him just now.
"Continuous burning can last for about 6 days. If you burn at intervals, it will be at least half a month, but it can only last for 20 days at most."
Li Yu didn't know how long this natural disaster would last. After all, Qingyuan's divination was very general, saying it would be a few months, and the longest would be half a year.
several months.
2 to 6 months counts as a few months.
well....
Now Oil City is running out of cards.
There are only Big Mac and zombie attracting potions.
With such heavy rain, drones and helicopters cannot fly. If you want to use zombie attracting medicine, you can only transport the medicine through a Big Mac.
"How many shells are left?" the second uncle suddenly asked.
The third uncle opened his mouth and replied:
"Time was running out just now, so I issued a free bombing order, and the ammunition is still being counted."
With that said, he said to Li Yu and his second brother:
"Second brother, Xiaoyu, I think our base arsenal still needs to be strengthened and find a way to supply artillery shells. I know it is very difficult, but I still do it."
"We can't wait until we run out of shells to do this."
"The third child."
After the second uncle heard what the third uncle said, he explained:
"You have been away from the headquarters for a while. In fact, the headquarters has changed a lot recently. In fact, it has already begun to develop how to produce its own artillery shells."
"The last time I went to the Wu City military base, you still remember, there were two bullet production lines inside.
There is also a cannonball production line, but the cannonball production line may have been stored for too long, and several molds have problems.
Now in the fourth outer city, we have used competition to let the experts find a solution."
"Whoever can solve the mold problem and achieve self-production of artillery shells, I promise to give them an outer city status!"
"How's the progress?" The third uncle asked quickly after hearing this.
"Great, why didn't you tell me last time?" Third Uncle said with a smile.
This was the best news he heard today.
The second uncle said helplessly:
"Didn't you say you came back and looked at the list..."
"Besides, don't expect too much,
That artillery shell production line is very crude, the output is very low, and the caliber of the artillery shells it produces is relatively small..."
"Forehead....."
Third Uncle's laughter stopped suddenly, so it's better not to say anything!
