Most of the world's volcanoes erupted at the same time, sending volcanic ash straight into the sky tens of thousands of meters into the stratosphere.
And a large amount of volcanic ash, covering it layer by layer, covered 80% of the sunlight.
The whole world fell into darkness.
At the same time, a large amount of acidic gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water vapor at high altitudes. After combining, they will generate acid, which is constantly mixing...
After a volcanic eruption, hot and cold conditions alternate, and the temperatures on the ground and in the air vary greatly, resulting in uneven heating;
Air flows from places with high pressure to places with low pressure, forming wind.
The wind vortex is getting bigger and bigger, sweeping in...
.........
Big camphor tree base.
The mountain wind rises.
The sky is full of volcanic ash floating everywhere. If you shine a flashlight over it, you can see that the light is full of flying debris.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, which was extremely pungent.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
Lao Lu, Li Hang and others came under the wind power generation equipment to conduct inspections.
Originally, before the volcano erupted, there was no wind, and the huge fan blades of wind power rotated very slowly.
But at this moment, as the wind gets stronger and stronger, the fan blades rotate faster and faster.
Li Hang looked at the power meter of the wind turbine, and the power value on it kept changing.
After checking that there was no problem with the circuit board, Li Hang said to Lao Lu next to him: "There is no problem. I will put it back."
Then Li Hang installed the iron plate back, then re-covered the insulation material installed on it, then put in two layers of tarpaulin, and finally walked out of this small space.
Close the little door.
In order to keep the circuit boards and wires from being affected by the external environment, they also took great pains and took many measures to insulate and keep warm, thus ensuring the normal operation of the wind turbine.
After the two checked, they left here.
Li Hang watched the fan blades rotating faster and faster, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. When the wind came, of course wind power could be used to generate electricity.
However, it was also dark, there was no solar power, and we didn’t know what would happen next.
"Let's go, let's go to the main meter to check the power consumption recently and make statistics." Lao Lu said.
The task Li Yu gave him just now has not been completed yet.
Nowadays, there are many places in the base that need electricity. Both the residential buildings in the inner and outer cities need air conditioning, and the underground planting rooms also need to be illuminated. All of these require electricity.
The two of them walked to the power distribution room.
While going down the mountain, the wind carried volcanic ash and blew them over, causing the two of them to cough.
Li Hang used his sleeves as a mask, covering his mouth and nose, and shouted to Lao Lu: "Captain Lu, cover your mouth and nose."
When Lao Lu saw this, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
Braving the increasingly strong wind, the two finally arrived at the power distribution room.
After shaking off the dust, when the two of them put down their sleeves, they saw that the skin on each other's faces that was not covered by the sleeves was covered in dust, making them look gray and gray.
The two looked at each other without smiling. Such a large amount of dust meant that their current living environment had become harsh again.
Li Hang took the manual and counted the rows of electricity meters one by one.
As the inventory was being taken, his expression became more and more ugly. Without saying a word, he rushed to the place where the solar batteries were stored. When he saw the storage capacity of these batteries, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Lu who was beside him asked with some anxiety when he saw him like this, "Is there any problem?"
"Nowadays, solar energy is basically not working to generate electricity. According to the normal wind power generation, it can only maintain one-third of the current power consumption of the base. But fortunately, the power stored in the battery is enough for us to use on the current basis.
One month.
Coupled with wind power as a supplement, we can probably last for another month and a half. I hope the light will be restored in one and a half months..."
Hearing what Li Hang said, Lao Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was enough for the time being, so he said to Li Hang: "Let's tell Li Yu this news as soon as possible. From what he said, we should find ways to save electricity."
"good."
The two of them walked together towards the first outer city.
at the same time.
In the first outer city.
The atmosphere is quite good.
Dongtai, who came from the second outer city, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ju Tianrui regaining consciousness.
He has barely slept since he came in yesterday because he was worried about Ju Tianrui's condition.
Now that he saw Ju Tianrui waking up, he felt more relieved, and his eyes towards Li Yu and others became more friendly.
Ju Tianrui had just woken up and didn't know what happened along the way. Dongtai talked to her one by one.
Then he told how Xiao Jun found Li Yu and the others after leaving Chengzizhou, and how he came in again.
Ju Tianrui listened carefully. When he learned that Li Yu and the others had saved more than a thousand people, and were now in the Second Outer City, he highly recognized Li Yu and the others.
But after all, he was physically weak, and he received a lot of information at once, so he was a little mentally weak.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jun also brought the just-cooked porridge over and let Ju Tianrui eat it.
Li Yu saw that Ju Tianrui was a little tired, so he said, "Then let's do this for today. Commander Ju, you should practice well first."
Ju Tianrui said to Li Yu gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you."
After saying these two sentences, I seemed to have something more to say, but suddenly I felt like I couldn't turn my mind around, and I stopped there holding the bowl.
Seeing his appearance, Li Yu said, "Cultivation first, and we can talk about other things when you feel better."
Hearing what Li Yu said, Ju Tianrui nodded and said, "Yeah, okay. I'll talk to you next time."
Although Ju Tianrui didn't reveal a word, Li Yu guessed that he roughly knew what he was going to say.
They came all the way from Chengzizhoutou to come to Da Zhangshu. There must be some arrangements. They didn't know what arrangements were made for them at Da Zhangshu Base, so it was normal for them to want to chat with Li Yu.
of.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at this time, there is no rush.
Now both of them have a common enemy, and they are willing to talk to each other.
With the current extreme weather, Gan and Shang would not be stupid enough to send people out to trouble them. Going out for a long distance in this kind of weather would be tantamount to seeking death.
And according to what Dongtai said just now, when they came over, they got rid of the people who were following them, so Li Yu already knew the current situation.
Chengzizhoutou and Ganshang probably didn't know that Ju Tianrui and the others had come to Xincheng, let alone the Da Zhangshu base.
Therefore, don’t worry about Gan Shang’s threat for the time being.
Right now, the darkness they have to face, the ensuing acid rain and zombie tide, are the biggest problems at the moment.
........
Orange Island Head.
After the sunlight was blocked by volcanic ash, riots began in the refugee camps in the Southern District.
The gunfire continued for a long time.
Gan Shang looked at the pile of corpses in front of him with a livid face and was filled with anger.
Just now, there were one, three or four refugees who took advantage of the darkness and went around to the back. Fortunately, Haichao reacted in time and shot and killed them, otherwise those few people would have succeeded.
There is a conflict at this time.
Nine out of ten refugees in the Southern District died, and the remaining ones knelt down and surrendered. There were also a few clever people who saw that the situation was not good and ran directly back to the Southern District refugee camp to hide.
The incident occurred suddenly, and there was not much isolation and protection in the north and south districts. In addition, the group of refugees took advantage of the darkness to cause trouble, which still caused some losses to Ganshang.
More than a dozen people were hit by the flow of refugees. Sixty-seven people were injured or killed, and another seventy-eight people were seriously injured. They were all hit with bricks and wooden sticks. The attack was quite ruthless.
"Boss, what should we do with the dozens of people left?" Haichao hesitated and asked."
A flash of light flashed in Gan Shang's eyes, and he said: "Gather them together first and send someone to guard them. Damn, these crazy people."
Then he said to Hai Chao: "Throw all these corpses outside the wall. The smell of blood is too strong. It's dark now. It's easy to attract zombies."
Haichao nodded and called for others to carry the body out.
The corpses were all sallow and skinny, with ulcers on their skin. They looked inhuman or ghostly.
Suddenly, just as two men threw the body outside the wall, they saw some shadows in the distance.
The volcanic ash blocked the sunlight, so they could not see clearly.
These shadows are like black rivers.
Somewhat curious, I turned on the high beam of the flashlight in my hand.
Look at this.
It scared him silly.
"Mourning, mourning, zombies, so many zombies." He exclaimed.
In the light, a large group of zombies were running towards them.
It's just that these zombies are a little different from the zombies they remembered before. It seems that the surface skin has become smoother.
There was no trace of hair, and the skin was pale white, and it seemed that the bones could be seen inside.
These zombies have extremely strong adaptability. In the high temperature environment, they not only did not die of heat, but adapted to it. There are no pores or hair in their skin. Their smooth heads and open mouths look abnormal.
fear.
The man next to him also saw this scene, his legs softened and he almost fell off the wall.
For the rest of his life, he looked at the zombies with fear and said, "Hurry up and tell the boss that the zombies are coming!"
They have also fought against zombies, but facing this kind of zombie they have never seen before, the unknown makes them a little scared.
"Let's go!" The other person, without any hesitation, directly pushed the corpses that the two men had carried up from the wall.
Three minutes later.
Gan Shang and Hai Chao hurried to the wall. When they saw the naked zombie, they were a little surprised.
The zombies were very fast, and within a short time they were less than twenty meters away from them.
Haichao shined a flashlight on one of the zombies, observed it carefully, and summed up:
"The cuticle of the epidermis falls off and is covered with a layer of white mucous membrane, the function of which is unknown.
All the hair fell off and the body was smooth.
The running speed is comparable to the speed when it rains.
......."
As he spoke, his expression became more solemn.
He quickly shouted to the brothers around him: "Get ready to resist the zombies!"
Zombies are coming in droves.
They pounced directly on the corpse they had just descended from the wall and bit it.
Amidst the roars, the corpses they had just thrown down were quickly devoured.
These zombies are very violent, perhaps because the weather was too hot and they haven't eaten for a long time, which makes these zombies hungry.
Bang bang bang——
Haichao shot at those zombies!
The bullet instantly scratched the zombie's skin and penetrated their body.
Some bullets hit the zombie's chest, but they remained as normal and did not cause any damage.
Some bullets hit their heads. The zombies that hit their heads instantly fell to the ground and became motionless.
But the next scene made Haichao take a breath.
hiss--
I saw that after the two zombies whose heads he shot fell to the ground, the zombies around them did not hesitate at all.
He actually started biting the two dead zombies!
this....
How is this going?
You know, before this, these zombies would not eat their own kind, but only some living bodies.
For example, humans, animals...
But now, have these zombies begun to eat their own kind?
But he also discovered that although these zombies eat their own kind, they only eat dead zombies.
Gan Shang, who also saw this scene, only felt his scalp numb.
Not only did these zombies not become extinct in the high temperature environment, but they adapted to it and became even more crazier and more ferocious.
But this, in fact, is not a big deal in the current apocalypse.
Before the end of the world, creatures such as lions, snakes, mantises, spiders, scorpions, bass, and crickets were all able to eat their own kind.
And sometimes humans will eat their own kind...
Not to mention zombies...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Hai Chao wanted to shoot, Gan Shang immediately dissuaded him: "Stop shooting, save some bullets. How can we replenish these bullets after they are used up?"
Ah, a waste of money."
Hearing Gan Shang scold him so unceremoniously, Hai Chao was a little angry, but he quickly regained his composure, took out a spear from under the wall, and called on everyone to stop the zombies.
The dozens of corpses they had just thrown from the wall were devoured by them in less than ten minutes.
Not only were these zombies unsatisfied, but they aroused a deeper sense of hunger. Their mouths were full of blood, their mouths were wide open, their teeth were black and yellow, and there were still pieces of meat residue on them.
"Kill!" Hai Chao shouted loudly.
The men on the wall immediately began to fight back.
Originally, they were surrounded by water. Although zombies could swim, it was difficult for these zombies to stack up in the water, so the pressure on them to fight back against the zombies was not very high.
With Ju Tianrui and his group of elites at the front, it was actually relatively easy for them to face the zombies.
But at this time, due to the continuous abnormal high temperature, the river water was evaporated, and these zombies ran directly up from the river bed.
Without any obstruction, the difficulty of blocking instantly became much greater.
Coupled with the lack of manpower, they were immediately overwhelmed.
"Zombies have also appeared in other directions. Come here quickly." From behind them, a tall, lean man ran over and shouted.
In the past, when fighting zombies, Ju Tianrui would take command, assign tasks, and formulate plans to stop the zombies.
At this time, Ju Tianrui was forced to leave by them and had no choice but to go up on his own.
They were inexperienced and were immediately at a loss. Although there were nearly 300 people, it was a mess.
Gan Shang recalled Ju Tianrui's original arrangement and how he responded to it at the time.
He said to Hai Chao: "Hai Chao, you take a hundred people to stop the zombies here. Xiao He, you take fifty people to the north wall to stop them. Bao Zi, you take fifty people to the west."
Then I thought of the southern area. The southern area is larger and the walls are lower than those in the northern area.
With a fierce flash in his eyes, he said to the remaining person: "Old Sun, take the people and find a way to quickly strengthen the gate and close the passage from the south to the north."
Lao Sun said with some confusion: "A complete seal? What about those refugees?"
"It's already this time, and you still don't care whether they live or die. Go quickly! Hurry!"
Gan Shang shouted violently.
In such an emergency, Gan Shang calmed down and did not sit back and wait for death. Instead, he formulated a method of resistance and gave orders.
