A few days have passed, and the situation has become increasingly serious. In Yuyuan Community, the number of people mutating into zombies every day has reached as high as forty.
There were originally only seven veterans left, but another one mutated.
Fortunately, under Li Mu's conscious training, the militiamen grew rapidly. While maintaining zero casualties, twenty or thirty people cooperated with each other and were able to deal with a single zombie neatly.
Li Mu simply formed two night shift teams, each led by three veterans. They rotated the night shift every day. He was also freed from the night shift and could do other things.
Early that morning, Li Mu got up and was about to go for morning exercise. He looked outside the community through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and his eyes were fixed.
"That's... a zombie... why is it on the street?"
I looked around again and saw that there were zombies not only on the street, but also in some surrounding communities.
After a moment of shock, I quickly realized what was going on.
Nothing more than that, unlike during the day, the night watchers can detect mutants in advance and tie them up directly. At night, each person is in a room alone, and no one else can detect the mutants. All they encounter are mutated zombies, which are very dangerous.
big.
During this period, too many militiamen sacrificed their lives to fight against zombies. In many places, no one was even on night shift anymore, leaving them to wait for the police to deal with the problem during the day.
However, although the militia has become the main force against zombies, it does not mean that the army's firepower has become weaker. It is just that in the face of more and more zombies, it cannot take care of it, and finally it has transformed into the role of the general reserve team and firefighters.
If the community's militia can deal with the zombies in the community, they will not intervene. If the community cannot deal with it, they will send troops to help deal with it.
The workload is greatly reduced and the situation can be maintained.
Just like the zombies in front of us, they are those communities that are unable to deal with the loss. After some people realize that they are about to mutate, in order not to stay at home and harm their families, they take advantage of the short period of time to retain their sanity and run out of their homes and residents.
building, and even ran outside the community...
Then there was a situation where there were zombies on the roads and in the community. In this case, the military, as the general reserve team, would definitely send troops to eliminate the zombies.
Sure enough, just after Li Mu went downstairs and ran a few laps, he heard loud gunfire all around, and there was even a helicopter in the sky, patrolling the area to observe the situation.
When Li Mu returned upstairs after exercising, the gunfire gradually stopped. The zombies nearby had been cleared away, and the army began to withdraw. Only a large number of auxiliary police and volunteers were left, cleaning the ground and disposing of the sieved corpses.
, complete the finishing work.
It seems that the situation is still under control.
In the morning, due to the excellent performance of Yuyuan Community recently, not only were the militiamen well-trained and achieved zero casualties in dealing with zombies, but the militiamen also had a very good sense of combat. With the strength of this community, all the zombies were eliminated without the support of the army, which increased the number of troops.
burden.
Since the performance is so outstanding, it should be rewarded.
On the one hand, it is an honorary reward, which goes without saying, but on the other hand, it is a real weapon and equipment reward.
If it performs so well and has such potential, of course it needs to be strengthened. It is better than using it on those communities that perform poorly.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, shortly after the training started, three material transport trucks drove over.
After looking at the weapon list, I was a little surprised. It's quite a craftsmanship.
The first is personal protective equipment: stab-proof clothing, explosion-proof helmets, and anti-cut gloves. Two hundred sets were delivered at one time.
Then there is the explosion-proof equipment: a hundred explosion-proof shields, a hundred explosion-proof steel forks, and a hundred arresting forks.
A lot of guns and ammunition were also given this time.
Mainly Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. Fifty of them were delivered this time with 250,000 rounds of ammunition.
In addition, there are five active Type 95 automatic rifles and ten recently retired August 1st rifles.
The militiamen of Yuyuan Community had more than a hundred firearms in their hands.
With firearms and anti-explosion equipment, although the militia cannot have one weapon per person, it is almost enough.
Distribute weapons and allow everyone to continue training. The most important thing is to carry out live-fire training. Each militiaman has a training quota of five bullets per day.
In the afternoon, Li Mu drove his car around the nearby communities. There were more than 20 communities, and there were special militiamen on night duty every day to clean up the zombies on their own. There were only 12 communities left.
Moreover, according to the results of the communication, six or seven communities have made huge sacrifices in dealing with zombies at night, and the militiamen have changed their views on the night shift and can hardly hold on any longer.
There is a lot of controversy internally about night shifts. During the day, symptoms can be detected in advance and people can be tied up before they mutate into zombies. However, there is no such condition at night, and basically everyone encountered has turned into zombies.
Now, everyone just wants to fulfill their responsibilities during the day and doesn't want to go out at night.
By that time, of the more than twenty communities under the entire street, only five or six are normal, and the other communities will become a world of zombies at night.
We can only rely on the army and wait until the zombies outside are cleared during the day before we can go out. Otherwise, we can only stay at home.
Regarding this situation, Li Mu can only do his best to guide the explosion-proof drills in each community and the design of tactics against zombies, so as to improve their safety and efficiency in dealing with zombies and reduce casualties.
The most important thing depends on the attitude of the militia teams in each community. Should they lie down and rely on the authorities for everything? Or should they work hard to save themselves and not compromise or give up.
Li Mu had a hunch that with the survival rate being less than one tenth, as the situation develops and more and more people mutate, the official and military personnel will also experience large-scale attrition.
There are fewer and fewer elite soldiers who can deal with zombies on the front line, and many places will not be taken care of.
Nowadays, in those flat communities, the military comes every day to clear out zombies. It’s hard to say what the future will be. With more and more zombies mutating every day, there are fewer and fewer soldiers capable of fighting. It’s difficult to go anywhere to clear out zombies.
If you can waste a lot of time, how can you have so much energy and time to take care of other places.
In the future, it will become the norm for some unimportant communities to have no troops coming to clear out zombies for three to five days, or even ten or eight days.
At this time, the combat effectiveness and self-rescue ability of the community itself are very important.
In a community without the ability to save itself, it will become a high probability event for zombies to be trapped in the house for ten or eight days. If the family lacks food during this period, or even someone in the family turns into a zombie, no one can support them, and the result will be even worse.
When contacting these communities, he briefly talked about these pros and cons, and it was up to them to decide how to deal with them.
In this way, time passed slowly, and another seven or eight days passed. The cruelty of reality made everyone feel chilly.
In just eight days, more than 400 people mutated into zombies in Yuyuan Community, with an average of more than 50 people every day.
Before the zombie outbreak, the total population of the community was more than 4,000 people, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left, which shows how cruel the reality is.
This is the result of Li Mu's leadership. The reduction in community members is basically caused by mutating into zombies, and the reduction in staff in other ways is very small. This is very different from other communities.
In many communities, there are a large number of non-mutated attrition and combat attrition.
Li Mu could only learn about places that were too far away through the Internet, but he had seen the surrounding communities with his own eyes, and their attrition situation was much more serious than that of Yuyuan Community.
On this day, Li Mu finished his morning exercise and had breakfast. He went to the rooftop and looked around. Sure enough, there were many zombies wandering in the neighborhood on the road nearby.
Since the day before yesterday, the military has been cleaning up zombies in some flat communities every day, but it can no longer continue.
The army didn't come the day before yesterday, and no one came yesterday morning despite everyone's long-awaited calls. People called for help numerous times, and it wasn't until yesterday afternoon that an army was dispatched.
Through the telescope, Li Mu could see that the troops were very tired and there were still traces of the previous battle on their bodies. They might not even have time to rest. They had just eliminated the zombies in another area and were dragged here.
coming.
Looking at the tired look on the soldier's face, he forced himself to start clearing out the zombies. Li Mu sighed, the situation was not optimistic, and his guess a few days ago would soon become a reality.
With the shortage of front-line combatants and the limited energy of the military, many places cannot be taken care of. Some communities that are not capable of dealing with zombies may not be able to wait for military support for a long time.
When I came downstairs, I continued to instruct the militia team to start training, and heard Liu Wei come over to report that the number of people who mutated into zombies in the community yesterday was as high as fifty-seven.
Li Mu took a deep breath and looked at the carefully trained militia in front of him. He remembered that when the militia was established, the total number of people was more than 1,500.
But now, there are only more than 800 people left, and the number of people has been reduced by more than 700. The 700 militiamen who lived together day and night have just turned into zombies, and everyone has to kill them with their own hands. The reality is sometimes so cruel.
Even so, compared to other communities, the situation is good enough. The militia teams in many communities have been reduced by more than two-thirds, and only less than 1/3 of the people have survived until now.
Those communities that were lying flat actually didn't want to be like this. They were just frightened by the cruel reality and temporarily lost the courage to fight the zombies.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of people who mutated into zombies in the community reached 59 that day, more than yesterday. The night shift team is now basically kept at more than 100 people to prevent any accidents.
Looking outside the community, there are more zombies than yesterday. It is obvious that the military will not come today either.
At night, on the rooftop of the building, Li Mu drank beer while enjoying the warm warm wind, and slowly browsed the information on his mobile phone.
I checked the news first. It was similar across the country, but some places were more serious and some places were less serious. There were news everywhere about community militia teams not being able to eliminate zombies, and being blocked at home by zombies, asking for help from the outside world.
Finally, the general order is maintained pretty well. As for overseas, it has completely turned into a mess, and many places are completely filled with zombies.
After watching the news for a while, he checked the WeChat groups. Since he is the militia supervisor of more than 20 surrounding communities, he has joined many WeChat groups of the communities.
At this time, the group is in a mess, and there are messages complaining and asking for help everywhere. Some families don’t have enough food, some people are sick and need medicine, and need to be sent to the hospital to see a doctor...sometimes, someone in the family has turned into a zombie.
I dare not go out, but I dare not stay at home. I am simply desperate.
Looking at this information, through the screen, Li Mu could feel the helplessness and panic of some people.
He took a long breath and looked at the zombies on the street in the distance. Should he do something? The army was too busy to take care of this. He had more time and the ability to do some things.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to take a look at the situation tomorrow. If there was still no army coming to clear the goods tomorrow, he would take action.
The next day, the number of mutated zombies exceeded the 60 mark, 62 people became zombies, and the militia also lost more than 20 members.
Everyone was numb to this and could only wipe away their tears and continue training.
In the morning, the army still didn't come. This was already the third day. After all, Li Mu was the inspector of a nearby community. He asked someone to ask about the situation. Will the army come?
Got a definite answer, not in the last few days!
He also learned the reason. Compared with the nearby area, the city center is the most densely populated area. Many communities are also lying flat. Every day, a large number of zombies gather in the communities and even flock to the streets.
In the past two days, the military's time and energy have been spent in the city center, clearing out zombies in one community after another. Even if the city center is cleared, there are countless places for help in the city, and it may not necessarily be their turn here.
In this case, I looked at the help messages and tragic situations in the surrounding communities in the WeChat group. Some of them were really on the verge of life and death and urgently needed to open up communication channels with outsiders.
Arrangements were made for everyone to train seriously, and Li Mu stayed at home and did not go out.
I took out the Barrett M82 heavy sniper rifle from the space for a long time but never had the chance to use it.
This sniper rifle uses the same bullet as the AMR-2 sniper rifle Li Mu purchased some time ago, both with a caliber of 12.7 mm.
Bullets of this caliber are more than ten centimeters long, and the magazine can hold 10 rounds at a time. They are extremely powerful. If they hit the head, they will be a direct headshot. If they hit the body, there will be a bloody hole as big as a fist. Some of them will be shot after two or three times.
Break your body into two pieces.
At the same time, this heavy sniper rifle also has a top-notch range. According to tests, when the gun fires a 42.7-gram M33 bullet, the maximum range is as high as 6,800 meters.
Therefore, 6800 meters is also the safe distance mentioned in the user manual of this sniper rifle to allow shooting.
Barrett's actual effective range is about 1,500 meters. Of course, there are cases of being sniped by Barrett from a distance of 2.8 kilometers.
Such a powerful tool should be used at the right time.
Arriving at the rooftop of the attic, Li Mu quickly assembled a Barrett, installed the silencer equipment, found a location facing the street of the community, and slowly set up the gun.
Half a minute later, everything was adjusted. Li Mu took a deep breath, pointed at a zombie wandering on the street outside the community, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Due to the installation of silencer equipment, after a slight and low gunshot, the head of the wandering zombie suddenly exploded, and half of its skull was gone.
Without giving the zombie time to react, Li Mu fired three more shots. The zombie suddenly had blood holes as big as a fist and one of its legs was broken.
The spine and legs were broken, and the zombie fell directly to the ground. Although it could not die, it no longer had any threat or ability to move.
