Chapter 156 The strength of the Salvation Army is halved
The heavy rain has been falling continuously for 48 hours.
The wind howled and the night rain continued.
This rain made the sky leak.
Both north and south were shrouded in heavy rain.
Waves surged on the seaside, and the sea level rose, submerging some small islands at low altitudes.
In the southern hills, dots of small lakes are dotted among the hills.
South City, Suburbs, Salvation Army Headquarters.
It was a mess. This heavy rain caused heavy losses to the entire Salvation Army team. When the heavy rain just hit, there were two teams returning from collecting protection fees from other small organizations. On the way, they encountered a wave of zombies.
, lost half of the manpower.
Fortunately, we were not far from the headquarters on the way back, otherwise we would have lost even more manpower. With this zombie wave coming, we must find a safe and stable place. If we randomly find one on the way,
If you stay in one place, you won't be able to survive for long.
In the innermost part of a factory building, there is a huge conference room of about 70 square meters. On the leather sofa, there is a middle-aged man sitting. This man has meticulous hair and has one extra finger, six fingers, on his right hand.
The man was standing on the third floor, looking out the window at the pouring rain.
There was a light in the room. He held a cigarette in his hand and took two puffs from time to time, with a serious look on his face.
"Boss, Mr. Gao and Team Leader Qian, they haven't come back yet. Now, they probably won't come back." A young man with glasses next to him said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man did not speak, and did not care about the young man. Instead, he got up from the sofa, walked towards the window, and opened the glass window a little, letting in some rainwater.
This silent silence made the young man feel uneasy. You must know that the boss is easily angry and moody, and may explode at any time. Now Team Leader Qian and the others have not come back, and although the other two groups have come back,
Too many people were lost.
Originally, there were more than 900 people at the Salvation Army headquarters. Brother Mao and others went to Xincheng to collect protection fees and took away more than 50 people. Later, they did not come back, so Mr. Gao and Team Leader Qian also brought more than 180 people there.
Two days have passed and I still haven’t come back. Then the two teams that went out lost half of their manpower, and here we have another 100 people.
Now, there are only about 500 people at the headquarters. It's almost a direct reduction of half the manpower. It doesn't matter if the manpower is reduced by half. The key is that these people who went out this time have not transported back this month's supplies.
According to the current personnel, we don’t know how long the material can last.
The young man's body was slightly bent, his head lowered, not daring to look at the boss, as thoughts flashed through his head.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man by the window spoke: "Is the situation at the gate still stable now?"
Although thoughts kept flashing in the young man's mind, he was also paying attention to the middle-aged man's movements with his peripheral vision. At this time, when he heard the boss's inquiry, the young man immediately said: "Stable, Team Leader Zhang and the others are currently taking shifts to stop the zombies.
So far, although one or two people are unlucky and have been bitten by zombies, others are still stable. That is..."
As if remembering something, the young man hesitated a little.
"explain!"
"Team Leader Zhang and the others are also asking about the distribution of supplies. According to the past, we should distribute some supplies to everyone today." The young man said with some anxiety.
After all, Team Leader Qian and the others went to Xincheng and did not come back. The two groups also lost half of the supplies on the way back. If they were to be distributed now, it would definitely shrink a lot if they were distributed to them. With such a huge shrinkage, I wonder what Team Leader Zhang and the others would do
There won't be any fuss.
"What's there to worry about? Send, send one third. Just tell them that there is a zombie wave and supplies need to be saved now. It's not like they don't know that the other two groups haven't come back." The middle-aged man said.
Immediately, he thought of something and added: "If they have any objections, let them come to me!"
The young men slandered that they would not dare to come to you. If they came to come to you, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? They would only make trouble for me, and I would have to take the blame. Oh, I am in too much trouble.
Although I was thinking this in my heart, I still said honestly and obediently: "Okay, boss. I'll go down and make arrangements."
The middle-aged man didn't look back and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
The young man walked out of the room and gently closed the door. It was not until he was out of the room that he slowly exhaled. His back was already wet. Although the boss didn't get angry just now, he was oppressed by him.
Wow, it's really too big.
The previous assistant accidentally angered the boss and was eventually thrown out to feed the zombies.
Every time he reported to his boss, he was walking on a tightrope. He felt as if he was accompanying you like a tiger, which made him really uneasy.
He shook his head, no longer thought about it, and went to do things quickly.
However, there was always a trace of sadness in his brows that could not be dispelled.
...
There are still some survivors in Xincheng, but the number is not large, and they are all between life and death at this time.
The heavy rain has lasted for 48 hours. Some low-lying areas have been flooded, and many people have begun to move to higher places.
But during the transfer process, be very careful with zombies.
In the heavy rain, the zombies' sense of smell and overall strength greatly increase. Once discovered by a large number of zombies, they can just wait for death.
Some people took risks and moved higher, while others, because they were afraid of being discovered by zombies, chose to stay in place and did not dare to move. However, as the water level was getting higher and higher, the anxiety in their hearts became more and more serious.
These people face several big problems:
1. What you are directly facing are zombies. In the heavy rain and in the dark night sky, zombies seem to be everywhere. You must not be discovered by the zombies.
2. The continuous heavy rain has made it impossible for many people to go out to collect supplies. Now they don’t know when the heavy rain will fall, so they can only ration food.
Eat well every day and don’t dare to eat more. If you finish all the food before the rainstorm ends, you will face hunger. Even so, the daily food has been continuously reduced, and seeing the shrinking supplies makes me very anxious.
.
3. It takes a lot of physical and mental effort. Zombies with a keen sense of smell can easily find traces of people in heavy rains, and survivors must continue to resist.
There are also some smart people who smear something like mud on their bodies to cover up their smell. But after applying it, their whole body feels uncomfortable.
It can be said that every heavy rain is a test for mankind.
