Yesterday, the pickup trucks of the field team rammed and crushed the infected people twice. In terms of efficiency, it was quite efficient. It caused a large number of casualties to the infected people in just a few minutes, but it cost some money.
Iger once imagined that if he could have a tank, no matter how big the tonnage was, he would just install a subwoofer on the barrel, play loud music, and crush the infected people.
In one day, you might be able to conquer a city.
Egger has no worries about the infected becoming intelligent, even if they reach the insect level. Farmers light fires in the fields to kill insects at night, and a large number of moths swarm into the fires.
This low-level intelligence of the infected person makes the infected person's behavior more predictable to a certain extent.
In the zombie apocalypse, zombies are not actually scary. What is scary is the collapse of the entire social structure.
As the social structure collapses and social production cannot be restored, available resources will become less and less available, and people's competition for resources will become more and more intense. Eventually, humans will degenerate from a civilized state into beasts.
Of course, if you look at it from an extremely long time axis, this is not a big deal. In a few thousand more years at most, human beings will re-establish civilization. Thousands of years, for a species, is just a period of time.
A matter of blinking an eye.
Human beings have gradually dominated the earth through hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, and they will not be defeated so easily.
What is before everyone now is the ruthless crushing of living creatures by human civilization.
Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, only Thomas was still as confused as the two new members. By the way, he passed out yesterday.
Egger quickly told the three people what happened here yesterday. It turned out that this was the danger point of the field team.
Joanna had two hit-and-run accidents here yesterday, and today she has to pay the price for her actions yesterday.
Under the leadership of Egger, five people moved the corpses in a noisy manner.
The obstacles on the ground are no problem for a four-wheel-drive pickup truck with powerful power and strong passability, but a van will certainly not be able to pass them.
Egger, who was carrying the body, suddenly thought of a question. He asked Ryan: "Lian, are you sure you are walking in the right direction?"
After Ryan wiped his hands with the clothes of the infected body, he straightened up and said to Egger: "You're sure that's right. I usually walk on the other side, but coming from Jixi Town, this road is closer."
"I think it's better for us to take a detour." Egger said to Ryan: "Less than 30 kilometers ahead, there is a larger group of infected people. There is no such flat land on both sides of the road there, and it is difficult for us to maintain a safe distance.
Go around."
Ryan reached out and grabbed his crotch, thought for a moment, and then said to Egger: "It's okay to switch the route again, but we need to turn around. There is a fork in the road more than ten kilometers back, and then we can turn to the right road."
"Perhaps, we need to think of a better way." Egg said to the guy.
By the way, there is a shortcut here.
Egger said to Ryan: "Maybe it doesn't have to be so troublesome. There is a shortcut that leads directly to the road of the Love and Family Team. But I don't know if it is the same road."
"Is that the way to Corodo City?" Ryan didn't know where the Love and Family team was.
"Hey, Nicholas, is the road in front of the Love and Family team going to Corodo City?" Iger shouted to Nicholas.
"Yes." Nicholas raised his head and exhaled before saying, "The road from our camp is to Corodo City."
Damn it, it's such a cold winter, and these things are still so smelly and sticky, even if they are not touched directly, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.
What made Nicholas even more unhappy was that Iger and Joanna actually had rubber gloves. Obviously these were the belongings of the field team members, but they were not equipped with them.
Of course, neither did Thomas, but being treated the same as Thomas would not make Nicholas happy.
"That's right." Ryan said happily. He turned around and asked Egger: "Where is the shortcut?"
Egger pointed to the high slope on the left and said to Ryan: "It's right up here."
Ryan glanced at the steep grassy slope. He walked to the front of the van, squatted down, calculated the angle, and said to Egger: "No. The slope is too steep and the angle is too big. The approach angle is enough, but this car
If I don’t have enough motivation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go up.”
"Can you rush over the slope?" Egg asked.
Nicholas, who was standing nearby, interjected: "You can't rush. If you go too fast when going uphill, the car's chin will hit the grass slope."
Egg looked at the van, and he suddenly thought of a way. He said to Ryan: "It doesn't matter, you drive the car and give it a try. I have a way."
After Ryan drove the van off the road, he drove towards the steep grassy slope. The beginning of the section was relatively smooth. However, in the middle of the steep slope, perhaps because the gradient became larger, the rear wheels of the van skidded and the truck fell onto the ground.
not going.
After several attempts, the van kept skidding on the spot, and Ryan had to step on the brakes. When he was about to stick his head out and ask everyone what to do, Joanna drove the pickup truck against the rear of the van.
This is Egger's method, using a pickup truck to jack up the truck.
Although this Ford pickup truck looks ugly, it must be about ten years old. The owner has not taken good care of it, and even its appearance is a bit miserable.
However, the V8 engine of this car has a displacement of up to 6.2l.
Why this model of pickup truck is so popular in America? First of all, it is extremely powerful. Maybe except towing a train, there is nothing else this truck can't do.
When using a roof-top vehicle, in addition to looking at the power, you also need to look at the body structure. The load-bearing body structure of a pickup truck is very stable. Even if you slap your face on your butt, it will not damage the engine compartment. At most, it will damage the appearance of the car. Problem
Not big.
After the pickup truck hit the back of the van, Joanna honked the horn. Ryan released his foot brake, and the van sat completely on the pickup truck's face.
Then, Joanna stepped on the accelerator to push the car upwards, and Ryan was also filling the van with gas. For a moment, the grass was flying on the ground, which was a bit like plowing.
After the two vehicles roared for a while, the van was pushed up and slowly passed the point of the steepest slope. Then it relied on its own power to quickly climb up the slope and distanced itself from the pickup truck.
Joanna drove the pickup truck up the grassy slope easily and stopped at the top of the slope. Egger, Nicholas, and Thomas climbed up on foot.
Iger was joking while walking, saying that a road sign should be erected here, and then he took the time to find some tools to dig out the slope to make it easier to walk back and forth in the future.
Next, five people and two cars, led by Joanna, passed through the woods and came to the original road.
After getting on the highway, the car behind changed to the car in front, and Lane continued to lead the way. After driving for nearly a hundred kilometers, Lane turned a corner on the road and walked to an asphalt-paved branch road.
This branch road has a wide two-lane road. In front of the branch road is a huge warehouse-like building, which is surrounded by a high steel wire fence.
Everyone looked inside through the wire fence and found that there were no infected people in the yard.
The fence gate was ajar, and Ryan drove the car directly into the yard. There were several empty cars in the yard, one of which was stained with black blood, and several dry corpses were lying next to it.
"This is a fertilizer storage point for Mosaic Company. Fertilizers purchased by nearby farms are transported from here." Ryan said to everyone.
Iger looked around and saw that there was no village in front of him or any store in the back. A huge warehouse just stood on the side of the road.
Looking at this tall steel wire fence, Iger subconsciously felt that this would be a good outpost.
No, it's impossible to have a permanent security outpost outside now.
Survivors hiding in this warehouse will still be sensed by the infected. Although this layer of fence can block them, the feeling of being surrounded by zombies is not good.
Being surrounded here, once the supplies are exhausted, we still have to find a way to break out.
But generally speaking, the security here is much better than the houses next to it that don't even have walls.
What needs to be done now is to clean up the warehouse. Iger feels that the space inside is so big that there might be some infected people squatting there.
