The next morning, after finishing their morning exercises and having breakfast, the militiamen gathered at the community leisure square one after another. At 8:30, Li Mu made a rough count and found that almost everyone had arrived.
There are more than 1,500 people in total. Those with good physical fitness are considered to be in the first team. There are more than 800 people, mostly men. There are more than 700 people with poor physical fitness, all assigned to the logistics team, mostly women.
In order to facilitate management and training, Li Mu divided these people into fifteen teams, each with about a hundred people.
There are more than 800 people in the first team, organized into eight teams, each led by eight veterans who serve as team captains.
There are more than 700 people in the logistics team, divided into seven teams. Based on each person's experience, Li Mu selects a group of management talents who have separate interviews, and finally selects seven who have a good overall view to serve as team leaders.
Each team is divided into ten groups internally. The group leader is selected by the members of the group. Everyone is free to choose people with whom they have good relationships or whom they have a bad temper to form a group.
After noisy and arguing all morning, everyone finally chose their respective groups and teams.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, more than a thousand people gathered again and began simple queue training, mainly to cultivate everyone's discipline.
Whether it is the first team or the support team, everyone must participate.
After looking at the training results, Li Mu was a little speechless. It was too unorganized.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the training team, and someone shouted: "It's mutated, he... he's going to turn into a zombie!"
The entire militia team was in chaos. Li Mu felt nervous and ran over quickly.
I saw a young man lying on the ground. His skin was blue-grey, his face was distorted, his eyes were getting cloudier and cloudier, his body was twitching constantly, his mouth opened and closed, and he let out a low roar.
It was obvious that the young people on the ground, although not yet zombies, had begun to mutate.
Li Mu immediately ordered the captain of the first team: "Liu Wei, hurry up and get the rope, find something stronger, and tie the person up first."
The rope was quickly brought. Liu Wei glanced at the young man on the ground who was about to turn into a zombie, and whispered: "Captain, do you want to get rid of it before it turns into a zombie?"
Li Mu glanced around and saw a crying figure running over in the distance, probably the young man's wife.
He whispered: "It's not a zombie after all. Let's tie it up first and hand it over to the police!"
Liu Wei also saw the young woman running over, nodded silently, and tied up the young man on the ground with Li Mu.
When the young woman saw her husband on the ground, she fell to the ground and burst into tears. Li Mu sighed, and asked a female team leader from the logistics team to comfort the young woman, while leading a few people to carry the young man who was mutating.
Arrive at the security duty room at the entrance of the community.
The police quickly rushed over and took away the young man who was about to become a zombie. His fate was already doomed.
Returning to the community leisure square, everyone saw with their own eyes a good person slowly transforming into a zombie and approaching the end of his life. Everyone was a little silent.
Li Mu went up and said a few more words, asking everyone to train seriously so that they would have some ability to save themselves when faced with more cruel situations in the future.
Everyone really paid a lot of attention to the next team training, and many teams practiced well.
In fact, in modern society, especially in urban areas, many residents have received military training or queue training when they were in school or working, and have a certain foundation.
It's not difficult as long as you are serious.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, another exclamation came. Li Mu quickly ran over and looked at the woman in the middle lying on the ground. Her skin gradually turned purple, her eyeballs began to become cloudy, and her face began to distort...
Needless to say, this is another sign of turning into a zombie.
The crowd fell silent again, and Li Mu sighed, and led others to tie the person up, carry him to the security room, and hand him over to the police who arrived later.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, as Li Mu announced the end of the training, the first day of militia training finally came to an end.
When I got home, I cooked a few dishes by myself, opened a bottle of white wine, and drank a few glasses of wine. I witnessed with my own eyes that the militiamen who were training well one moment were about to transform into zombies the next moment, which made me feel quite emotional.
Sometimes, if you think about it deeply, only 8.5% of people produce antibodies, and 91.5% of people will become zombies, which makes people feel even more powerless.
This means that there are now more than 1,500 people in the militia. Although it looks like a lot of people, in fact, the fate of most people is doomed, and only about a hundred people can survive.
There are still no accidents, and there is no chance of being attacked and killed by zombies.
Many people train hard and strive for that glimmer of hope, but in fact all they do is in vain. In the end, what they have to guard against and kill are the zombies they will become in the future.
After dinner, I moved a rocking chair and placed it on the rooftop of the attic, blowing in the intoxicating warm wind and looking at the night view of the city.
The noisy city and streets in the past were now quiet, with only police cars and material transport vehicles passing by from time to time, letting people know that this was not a dead city.
That night, four more sirens sounded in the community. Three times after the early hours, accompanied by fierce gunfire, I checked the WeChat group of the newly established militia teams. As expected, some people turned into zombies at night.
Already.
Fortunately, everyone abided by the principle of resting in separate rooms, and the zombies were quickly eliminated by the soldiers who arrived, without causing any accidental harm.
…
At 8:30 the next day, just as we were gathering, another person began to transform into a zombie. Li Mu tried his best to make his heart colder, and led the people to tie the person up without expression and sent him to the security room. He handed it over to the security guard who came after
Police officers, continue today's training.
In the morning, it was still a simple queue training, with bloody examples in front of them. Everyone became very serious. Even the seven teams of the logistics team and some women with relatively weak physiques also persisted.
However, some things are still unavoidable and are becoming more and more serious. Before Li Mu announced the end of the training at 10:30, two more militiamen began to transform into zombies.
During the afternoon training, two militiamen were transformed into zombies again.
Looking at the vivid faces, he suddenly became distorted. Li Mu, who originally wanted to call all team leaders and group leaders for a meeting after the training, to get on good terms with everyone and get familiar with each other, simply held a meeting.
Yes, it's over.
At this time, he suddenly didn't want to get too familiar with everyone, let alone mingle with them. It felt good to have a sense of distance.
Otherwise, it will feel like watching familiar people turn into zombies one by one in the future, and even need to be eliminated with your own hands...
In the evening, on the rooftop of the building, with the warm wind blowing, Li Mu drank beer and scrolled through his mobile phone.
Just two or three days after the militia system was implemented, militia teams have been established all over the country, from rural to urban areas.
Looking at the training videos posted on the Internet, there are all kinds of them. Some are quite funny, and some make people feel silent. For example, Li Mu encountered during the day, the militiamen who were training suddenly turned into zombies.
However, this is good, at least everyone has something to do. It’s not like the past few days, when hostility was rampant on the Internet, making people feel more and more desperate.
After a while, I came across an article published by a research institution on improving human resistance.
It reads: According to research, maintaining a balanced nutrition, being in a good mood, exercising more, exercising more... can have a certain effect on increasing the body's resistance and reducing the chance of becoming a zombie.
After reading the entire article, Li Mu forwarded this article to the groups of various militia teams. In any case, since exercising more and exercising more can reduce the chance of becoming a zombie, it can also stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for training.
Seeing the heated discussion about this article in the group, Li Mu did not speak and silently closed WeChat.
That night, police cars rang five times in the community, and intensive gunshots rang out three times. About three more people turned into zombies at home.
The next morning, everyone's enthusiasm for training was indeed much higher. Even some women with weak constitutions, sweating profusely from exhaustion and trembling legs, gritted their teeth and trained.
That morning, three militiamen once again began to transform into zombies. They were kidnapped by Li Mu and thrown into the security room, and handed over to the police for processing.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered again and continued to train the queue.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, just after everyone was dismissed and allowed to rest for fifteen minutes, two large material transport trucks drove in. There were a few familiar people escorting the trucks. They were all auxiliary police officers and volunteers who signed up for the community.
When the two cars stopped, the leader of the convoy jumped out and walked directly towards Li Mu.
"Captain Li, this is equipment for the Yuyuan Community Militia. Please sign for it."
Li Mu nodded, climbed onto the transport truck, checked the equipment, and compared it with the list. There was no problem. This was the signed acceptance.
Ask people to unload all the equipment.
Looking at the equipment, everyone was a little disappointed. There were no firearms, but only gadgets used by some police station police and riot police.
A total of one hundred and fifty sets of stab-resistant suits, explosion-proof helmets, anti-cut gloves and first-aid kits, which are protective and first-aid equipment.
The rest is equipment to deal with zombies, including fifty anti-riot shields. This anti-riot shield is made of high-temperature molding of transparent PC material or high-strength alloy aluminum plate. It has the characteristics of high light transmittance, light weight and strong anti-hit ability.
, can effectively resist attacks from sticks and stones.
Of course, standing up several shields and lining them up together is also a powerful weapon against zombie attacks.
There are also fifty explosion-proof steel forks and fifty catching forks.
Riot-proof steel forks are mainly used to arrest dangerous persons such as gangsters holding sharp weapons, drunkards, infectious or mentally ill patients, etc.
The arrest fork can effectively deal with police situations such as drunken troubles, "martial madmen" and knife attacks, and can effectively protect the personal safety of officers on duty and the safety of law enforcement.
Whether it is an explosion-proof steel fork or a catching fork, although it cannot cause fatal damage to zombies, it is a weapon for ordinary people to deal with and even control zombies.
After receiving the equipment, we suddenly faced another dilemma. Compared with the huge number of militiamen, there was too little equipment.
We can't complain about the lack of official gifts. It was beyond Li Mu's expectation that so much equipment was sent. Think about how many militiamen there are in the country and how much equipment is needed to satisfy them. Even a large industrial country cannot have one for everyone.
There are a total of fifteen squads, one hundred and fifty groups. One hundred and fifty sets of stab-proof clothing, explosion-proof helmets, anti-cut gloves and first-aid kits are provided to each team, and the logistics are no exception.
He doesn't expect everyone to use these to deal with zombies. Li Mu's purpose of distributing one set to each group is just to hope that everyone can use and wear these equipment skillfully, so that the new equipment can be effective immediately after it arrives.
Li Mu paid a lot of attention to the fifty explosion-proof shields, fifty explosion-proof steel forks, and fifty arresting forks.
Compared with the previous personal protective equipment, these are the equipment that can confront and deal with zombies head-on.
Using these types of equipment also requires corresponding routines and techniques, and requires long-term training to form a certain muscle memory.
Li Mu happens to be professional in this regard.
When he participated in peacekeeping missions overseas, he was involved in these explosion-proof equipment. In the year since he retired from the army, Li Mu has worked part-time as an instructor in a SWAT team and a security company, so he is naturally more familiar with this type of explosion-proof equipment used in cities.
Next, Li Mu mobilized one hundred and fifty militiamen from each team, fifty with explosion-proof shields, fifty with explosion-proof steel forks, and fifty with arresting forks, and began to teach everyone how to use these weapons one by one.
Skill.
Then some people were selected and everyone did some simple practical exercises together.
One day passed quickly.
On this day, according to Li Mu's statistics, a total of ten community residents turned into zombies.
The next day, at 8:30, everyone gathered again.
After a few days of adaptation, the militia's training time has been fixed, with a total training time of five hours a day.
Two hours in the morning: 8:30 to 10:30 in the morning.
Three hours in the afternoon: 2pm to 5pm.
The rest of the time, you have free control and do not delay in handling your own affairs. After all, it is not a regular army, so it is impossible to have high requirements for everyone.
Soon, a new day of training begins again.
This time everyone was divided into two waves. Some people continued to train in formation and physical fitness; others, under the guidance of Li Mu, became familiar with various anti-explosion weapons and conducted targeted training.
In the afternoon, after these people basically mastered the methods and techniques of using these anti-explosion weapons, Li Mu replaced 150 people for training.
It's not that Li Mu doesn't want to train a group of elite soldiers, it's that the attrition in the future will be too serious. The chance of survival is less than one-tenth. Even if he trains 150 elite soldiers who can deal with zombies, only a few will develop antibodies.
It would be better to cast a wider net. Each militiaman must undergo corresponding explosion-proof training and master corresponding skills and methods. Even if the number of personnel is greatly reduced, someone can quickly make up for it.
On this day, a total of twelve people in the community turned into zombies, and the number was increasing.
There is not much Li Mu can do now. He can only continue to lead everyone in training, especially teaching everyone how to use explosion-proof weapons and techniques. Let all militiamen learn... at least master the methods of using these weapons.
Just like this, two days later, more than 20 people in the community turned into zombies. All the militiamen were finally rotated and could easily use explosion-proof equipment.
Next, these weapons will still be trained by the militiamen in turn, striving to master them as quickly as possible.
