Chapter 1626 The gray clouds are overwhelming, the cyber transport convoy!
While Da Zhangshu Base was experimenting with artificial rainfall, a long motorcade was driving on the road from Da Zhangshu Base to Oil City.
They were the transport brigade leaving the Wu City military base.
Sky, sunlight blocked by gray clouds.
Gray clouds weighed down the sky, like heavy lead masses gathering in the sky.
The sky is cloudy and gloomy.
Although there was still light, the gray clouds overhead made people feel breathless and oppressive.
Thick clouds pressed over the earth, the land was vast, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt charcoal.
After so many days of drought, forest fires broke out in many mountains and forests, sending ashes flying all over the sky.
roadside.
The birdsong of the past is gone, and even the wind is wandering powerlessly in the desolate land with a suppressed sigh.
In this world that is about to be swallowed by gray, a convoy is driving alone on a dilapidated road, with dust flying and the dull sound of the engine.
In the convoy, a few cars here and there had their headlights turned on. Their shells were covered with scratches and dents, and the cold light of metal was reflected in the headlights.
Entering the Xiaoxian area, there is an endless plain in front of you, and vehicles are driving forward on a hopeless road.
On both sides of the road, the once lush trees were now reduced to dry branches due to continuous drought. They swayed in the wind and made a rustling sound.
The leaves have long lost their former green, and have become withered, yellow, and fragile. They drift in the wind and fall on the path of the motorcade, which looks particularly desolate.
There was a smell of death in the air, and all vitality seemed to have been drained away by the thick clouds and coldness.
The convoy continued to move forward, the tires making a dull sound as they ran over the cracked earth.
Xiao Hu climbed onto the roof of the armored vehicle, opened the top cover, looked at the thick clouds in the sky, and frowned.
He muttered: "Why are these clouds getting thicker again..."
There was a trace of worry in his eyes.
He and Zuo Ruxue were in charge of the transportation brigade, transporting supplies back and forth between the northern border, Oil City, and Da Zhangshu Base.
A great responsibility!
The food and materials needed in the Oil City and the trading bazaar need to be transported from the headquarters base and the northern border, and the oil needed in the headquarters base and the northern border also needs support from the oil city.
As of now, the three places have formed a good closed loop, relying on each other and supporting the development of each place.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the team:
"Report by name."
"1 Squadron."
Sizzling——
"Squadron 1 is fine."
"2 Squadron."
"Squadron 2 is fine."
.......
After the inventory was completed, Xiao Hu contacted Zuo Ruxue.
"Lao Zuo, I see that the clouds seem to be getting thicker, please watch from behind."
Sizzling——
After receiving the message from Xiao Hu, Zuo Ruxue, who was in charge of the rear of the motorcade, picked up the walkie-talkie and replied:
"I know. You should also pay attention ahead of time and conduct drone reconnaissance more carefully."
"In addition, the clouds have not become thicker, but have changed color. They used to be white, but now they are gray."
Although the clouds were very thick a few days ago, the thick clouds at that time looked white.
Since the water droplets formed by the combination of water vapor are smaller, most of the light that passes through is mainly scattered. Even if the cloud layer is thick, the impact on the light is not great.
But now it seems that because the water vapor in the clouds is more combined, the light is mainly refracted, which has a great impact on the light.
From the original white clouds to the current gray clouds.
Xiao Hu frowned and asked:
"Does that mean that the sun's ultraviolet rays have become weaker, is it possible that wall-climbing zombies will come out?"
They are not afraid of any other kind of mutant zombies, only two situations.
A large zombie wave and wall-climbing zombies appeared.
Zuo Ruxue pondered for a long time and then said:
"I don't know, but I think it's possible. Let's turn on the combat-ready ultraviolet light matrix."
"But turning on the combat-ready ultraviolet light matrix will consume a lot of electricity..." Xiao Hu hesitated.
Zuo Ruxue said categorically:
"It's okay. We refueled at the Wu City Military Base. It will definitely be able to support us to the Oil City."
"Just in case, we are afraid that wall-climbing zombies will appear. If wall-climbing zombies appear, our motorcycle fleet personnel will be in danger."
"Okay." Xiao Hu immediately agreed after hearing Zuo Ruxue's words.
The safety of the transport team members is more important than the extra fuel consumed.
Later.
Zuo Ruxue gave the order.
"Everyone has it, turn on the combat-ready ultraviolet light matrix!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
After receiving the news, each squadron will distribute the notice to everyone.
Their convoy consisted of more than 200 vehicles and stretched for two to three kilometers.
Because the fleet was too long, it was divided into six squadrons for management.
After everyone received the news.
One after another, they turned on their combat-ready UV light matrices.
The transportation brigade has been established for some time and is gradually becoming regular.
In the past, due to encountering robbery by apocalyptic thugs, a mobile motorcycle team was added, which can move around at any time to provide back and forth care.
But later, when I was delivering oil from Oil City to the North, I encountered an accident on a section of the road and several vehicles broke down. Repairs took time, and I was delayed in finding shelter for the night.
So they found a nearby place and surrounded the vehicles in a circle, forming a two-layer wall to block the zombies.
But that would be too troublesome, and you need to find a large enough space to park more than two hundred cars at the same time.
There are limitations.
later,
The headquarters base modified the vehicles they transported, connected the wires, and installed an ultraviolet light matrix on the vehicle body.
This is because at some special moments, you cannot find a safe shelter and can only stay in the car to avoid wall-climbing zombies.
rub!
A truck driver pushed a button.
In an instant, two ultraviolet lights suddenly turned on on both sides of the car's windshield.
On both sides of the carriage, two rows of small ultraviolet lamps are lit.
Cars are arranged in sequence, and the ultraviolet light of the car behind shines on the car in front.
This means that except for the last car, every car in the convoy is protected by ultraviolet lights on the front, rear, left and right.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the rear of the last car also has two ultraviolet lights to defend against wall-climbing zombies coming up from behind the car.
After the fleet turned on the combat-ready ultraviolet light matrix, a fleet of purple-blue light was driving on the gray ground.
The purple-blue light has a sense of cyberpunk and post-modern technology.
And under this kind of drought, the season when everything turns yellow, and in this dense clouds, the atmosphere is so oppressive that people can't breathe.
This motorcade is extremely harmonious with the surrounding environment.
It's as gorgeous as an alien team coming out of a science fiction movie.
There is just a problem.
Too flashy.
Chang Principe, who was driving a sidecar motorcycle, was exposed to purple-blue light and his eyes hurt a little.
This kind of ultraviolet light irradiation is very unfriendly to human eyes.
He rubbed his eyes and drove the motorcycle with one hand. He fumbled with his other hand in his arms and took out a pair of yellow glasses and put them on.
On his sidecar motorcycle, there are also two small UV lights flashing at the front and rear.
Xiao Hu returned to the armored vehicle from the roof of the armored vehicle.
Their car was driving at the front, with a huge searchlight on the front.
Although there is light now, it's so gray that I can't see clearly.
They are currently maintaining a speed of fifty kilometers per hour, which is relatively fast in the apocalypse.
Make sure you have a clear view of the road ahead.
Xiao Hu sat next to the drone operator, and through the images transmitted back by the drone, he saw a rather gorgeous scene.
The purple-blue convoy that spreads for two or three kilometers is extremely conspicuous on the gray earth.
"Keep your eyes peeled. If you find any zombies, tell me right away. I'll take a close look first." Xiao Hu said to Xiong Hong, who was controlling the drone.
"Okay, captain, you can rest assured." Xiong Hong raised his head and replied.
Xiao Hu saw him looking up and said:
"Control the drone well, look at the picture, don't look at me."
"oh."
.....
Time passes slowly.
After they left the Wu City military base, they passed through the most dangerous section of the river-crossing bridge.
Because there are always a lot of zombies in the Yangtze River, they have to cross the bridge.
So every time you pass this section of road, you have to cheer up and cross it as quickly as possible.
After crossing the cross-river bridge safely and safely, the road behind them was relatively safe based on their experience of transporting them so many times.
An hour later, they arrived in Dawu County.
There is only one hundred kilometers left to go to Oil City, and they will be able to reach Oil City in two hours.
Sudden!
Xiong Hong saw a horrifying scene from the drone. Thousands of zombies appeared on the road ahead, and these zombies were migrating north.
"Captain! There's a situation!" Xiong Hong quickly woke up Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu, who originally planned to squint, fell asleep unknowingly due to the shaking of the vehicle. At this time, he heard Xiong Hong's voice and opened his eyes.
"What's going on?" Xiao Hu said with a strong nasal voice.
"Look, so many zombies suddenly appeared in front of you. You don't know where they came from!" Xiong Hong said quickly.
Since the drone flew relatively far and high, the zombie swarm was still six or seven kilometers away from them.
Xiao Hu stared at the drone screen and frowned.
"Why are there so many zombies..."
"Genzi, map." Xiao Hu said to another team member in the armored vehicle.
After getting the map, Xiao Hu found their current location. This location can lead directly to Oil City to the north.
Is it possible that these zombies are all going to Oil City?
wrong.
It's not raining, so these zombies don't have that sensitive sense of smell, so it's impossible for them to go to the Oil City.
He stared at the northeast direction on the map and noticed a small blue irregular circle.
This place represents lakes and reservoirs.
Could it be that these zombies are going to this lake?
It's possible. After all, zombies like water. It's so dry now that it makes sense for zombies to run to places with water.
It's just that these fucking zombies are blocking the road.
Walking so slowly...
Xiao Hu quickly calculated the distance between the lake and the zombie group in the northeast.
"Five kilometers, it takes about two hours based on the walking speed of the zombie swarm."
"If we stop here and wait for the zombies to leave, then we will waste two hours."
He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already half past two in the afternoon. He had expected to arrive at the trading market at four thirty.
If they were delayed for two hours by the zombie swarm, they might not be able to arrive in time for the transaction before dark.
Change route?
Xiao Hu stared at the map and found a route. There was a fork in the road ahead. He needed to go east, then north, and finally west to reach Oil City.
Due to the detour, the journey is estimated to take two hours longer.
Difficult to handle!
"All the teams are here, slow down and keep driving at the lowest speed." Xiao Hu thought for a moment and couldn't think of a way, and immediately asked the team to slow down.
Avoid encountering zombie swarms.
"Lao Zuo, the drone detected a group of thousands of zombies seven kilometers ahead. I suspect that these zombie groups are going to the Dawu County Reservoir in the northeast."
"The Dawu County Reservoir is about five kilometers away from the zombie swarm. According to their speed, it is estimated that it will take two hours to leave the road."
"Or there is another way, which is to take a detour and take the G346 highway to the east, which also takes two hours."
"Both methods require adding two hours, but it's already half past two.
It takes two hours to drive from here to Oil City normally. If we add another two hours, we may not be able to reach Oil City before dark."
"I'm a little unsure, what do you think?"
Zuo Ruxue felt that something was going to go wrong after she heard Xiao Hu say on the intercom that everyone should slow down.
After hearing his explanation at this time, I suddenly felt a little tricky.
Both methods require a waste of two more hours.
It's November now, and it gets dark relatively early, around 6:00 p.m.
If they want to spend more than two hours, they will definitely have to walk at night.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Night Road...
They absolutely don't want to leave unless they have to.
Because at night, especially when thick clouds accumulate like this, after dark, it is completely dark.
Wall-climbing zombies will definitely come out, and they will encounter them with a high probability.
"I think...the detour plan is not feasible. We are not familiar with that road. It will be very troublesome if something unexpected happens again if we take that road."
Xiao Hu said: "Then what do you mean, just wait?"
"Why!"
Xiao Hu suddenly had an idea, "Why don't we just blow up the zombie swarm! Make a way for them!"
"no!"
Zuo Ruxue refused without hesitation:
"I don't think it's good. The sound of shelling and bombing is loud. Although it can eliminate the zombies blocking the road ahead, it will also attract more zombies."
"Moreover, have you ever thought about it, these zombies are on the road. If you blow up, the zombies will die and the road will be destroyed. How can we take this road in the future!?"
"Um...cough, cough, cough, you're right." Xiao Hu was a little embarrassed and replied with a dry smile.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Hu asked.
"Otherwise, instead of firing artillery and bombing, we can just drive over and crush them! The road will not be damaged. With our cars, we will definitely be able to break out of the way."
Zuo Ruxue no longer wanted to complain about him.
He said quietly:
"Brother! We also have a motorcycle team. What will happen if they are surrounded by zombies?"
"And according to transportation regulations, you will never take risks unless necessary. You don't know that..."
Xiao Hu was a little irritated. He knew what Zuo Ruxue said was right, but he had no choice but to solve the current problem.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you think we should do? I listen to you."
If it was according to his temper, he would just pass it by.
He is courageous and brave, but he is always lacking a muscle.
Zuo Ruxue, on the other hand, is careful, steady and considerate.
The two often quarreled, but Zuo Ruxue was always able to restrain Xiao Hu and make him obedient.
Zuo Ruxue thought for a moment, looked at the imperial concubine next to her and asked:
"Concubine, you have many ideas. What do you think is better?"
The imperial concubine rolled her eyes and said:
"When the zombie swarm passes, we have turned on the combat-ready ultraviolet light matrix, so we won't be afraid of zombies climbing the wall even when it's really dark.
It will only take about two hours, if we arrive at 6:30.
We drive in the dark and can reach the trading market in ten minutes at most."
"Although the trading market closes at six o'clock, we have a special situation. We can ask them to close the door first, and then open the city gate after we arrive. Anyway, with the Wengcheng there, there should be no problem."
"Why don't you contact Oil City first and see what they say?"
Hearing this, Zuo Ruxue thought for a moment and nodded:
"It makes sense, okay."
So she sat in front of the radio station and contacted Oil City.
