It has been two months since the huge chaos was caused that day. It cannot be said that the situation has improved, but at least it has gradually come under control.
That day, Egg used a shotgun to attack the Heart of Blood Plague, and the effect exceeded his expectation. Unexpectedly, he actually killed the Heart of Blood Plague with just a few shots.
Therefore, body size may not necessarily withstand beatings, and puncture is fatal to all living organisms.
Subsequently, the infected people gathered in Puduo City lost their centripetal force and spread.
Disaster has come.
This wave of infected people was as unstoppable as a dam bursting from an over-filled reservoir. Todo Town quickly fell, and then the wave of infected people spread to a large area around it.
In order to prevent the front line of infected people from moving towards Jixi Town, in the following week, the field team carried out sniper attacks and used chemical fertilizers and explosives to carry out continuous blasts, leaving corpses everywhere along the route of dozens of kilometers.
After retreating closer and closer towards Jixi Town, Egg realized that he could not fight like this.
If we continue to fight like this, the number of infected people will only increase.
But if it is not contained, this wave of infected people will inevitably rush along the road to Jixi Town.
When in a dilemma, Egger came up with a weird way.
Anyone who has played a tower defense game knows that the strongest defense in a tower defense game is to block the road, because blocking the road is a way to change the rules of the game and has a cheating effect on the tower defense game.
Since infected people show the characteristic of migrating along roads, maybe this feature can be used to target them.
So, let's try blocking the road.
In the direction of the tide of infected people, the field team and the internal team selected the two best places to place roadblocks on the two roads leading to Jixi Town, and used tow trucks to find many scrapped cars and clear the roads.
It's been built.
Afterwards, everyone retreated from the area. After a few days, the field team returned to the highway wall to conduct long-distance reconnaissance.
It turns out that this ridiculous method that Iger came up with actually worked.
A large group of infected people came to a stop at the road wall. They did not step off the roadbed and explore along the wall, but stayed in place and waited.
Upon seeing this, the field team quietly withdrew.
A few days later, the field team returned to the road wall again, and the infected people disappeared. Without contacting the survivor signal again, the infected group waited under the wall for a few days, then turned around and left again.
After that, the gospel team built a road wall on all the roads leading to Jixi Town. This road wall divided the red zone and the yellow zone.
The red zone is the danger zone.
The yellow zone is a secondary safety zone.
The yellow zone is heading toward Jixi Town. There is a second road wall. Beyond the road wall is the green zone, which is the core safety zone of the gospel group.
There are eye-catching reminders on each road wall to guide survivors on how to avoid them. On the road wall in the Green Zone, there is a large eye-catching green word "gospel, safe" on a white background to remind everyone of outsiders.
, this is the territory of the gospel team.
Of course, no one can say how long this kind of general defensive measure can fool the infected, but at the moment, an effective method is a good method.
Then Lily publicized and promoted the wall-building method on the radio.
After hearing Lily's broadcast, all the survivor teams had countless alpacas running in their hearts.
If you want to build the Great Wall, you must at least have the ability to build walls.
Nowadays, many survivor teams have not even set up their own camps, so they have no energy to build a safe zone.
In response to Egger's warning that the infected were synthesizing blood plague hearts to improve their intelligence, other survivor teams even expressed a sense of powerlessness.
Now, the survivors are in an absolutely weak position, and the current behavior of the infected is more like a conspiracy. They know what they are doing, but the survivors are powerless to stop it.
One month after Lily's broadcast, a brutal battle broke out in the New Holy City.
The Evans Brotherhood gathered hundreds of people to attack the newly discovered Blood Plague Heart that seemed to have completed its evolution in a certain building.
Gu Xie
This is the most intense battle ever fought between survivors and infected.
After a morning of high-intensity fighting, the Evans Brotherhood's offensive failed. They suffered heavy casualties, with nearly half of their soldiers killed.
In the face of sheer numbers, all preparations and means ultimately failed.
As they retreated, the remaining soldiers were pursued by a wave of infected people all the way to the camp. In the afternoon, the Evans Brotherhood camp was breached by the infected, and the camp suddenly became a hell on earth.
Infected people poured in through the breach in the camp, and the people who were struggling to resist instantly turned into birds and beasts. Then the infected people slaughtered the camp.
Unarmed coolies were helpless in the face of the infected, and suffered the most casualties, followed by civilians.
The elite personnel above soldiers quickly gathered together, and after gathering a certain amount of strength, the knight captains led the survivors to break out.
When the afterglow of the sunset slowly set, most of the survivors in the Evans Brotherhood escaped successfully, but this largest group of survivors in the New Holy City and even on the East Coast was destroyed.
A few days later, the scattered survivors regrouped. They carved up the territory that originally belonged to the Evans Brotherhood, and then used various banners, such as: New Evans Brotherhood, Evans Brotherhood Headquarters, Evans Blood Brotherhood and more.
Bill and his relatives, friends and comrades-in-arms were separated during the breakout, and now only the core few people are left around him.
"Bill, which noble are we going to defect to now?" In the temporary safe house, Bill's deputy captain asked Bill while tightening his abdominal wound with a bandage.
"Those old guys?" Bill said with a trace of ridicule in his nose: "They are eager to hang me right now. Those old guys will definitely blame all the warring factions for the failure of this operation. Besides, you wait. Just watch, if you stay next to the Heart of Blood Plague, you will definitely end up dead."
Bill took out a national map from his arms. After unfolding the map, he faced the surrounding team members and drew a zigzag and extremely long line along the road with his hand, and finally pointed to an unnamed point on the map. .
"Go here."
…
…
In the past two months, Jixi Town has undergone great changes.
From the appearance point of view, the fortress transformation of Jixi Town has finally been completed. The entire periphery of Jixi Town is almost covered with a layer of steel plates, sparkling in the sun.
There are no superfluous barbs or anything like that on these steel plates, and it is most practical to leave no climbing points.
Some of the windows of the original building were retained and all were converted into shooting holes. The rooms on the same floor had passages in the walls so that defenders could move quickly in the rooms.
There are watchtowers and guard towers on the top of the fortress. The watchtower is on the top of the Morgan Building, and the guard tower is located on the outer walls around the fortress, extending outward and partially suspended.
Each guard tower can be used by two people to shoot at the same time. If there are infected people trying to climb the outer wall, the guards in the guard tower can use cross-shooting to mow them down.
The Jixi Town Fortress only retains one street entrance as the entrance and exit, and the main gate is two unremarkable large iron doors that open outwards. This design is to facilitate a breakout at critical moments.
Iger had prepared an emergency evacuation plan. When it came time to abandon Jixi Town, he would turn on broadcast bait in other areas to attract the attention of the infected group. Then the fire truck reversed and crashed into the door to clear the way, and other vehicles followed to break out.
In order to make the plan more operational, Egger also used his authority to hold an actual evacuation drill against the public opinion.
After a whole morning of hard work, the gospel team gained a pair of smashed iron doors and a huge amount of team action experience.
In addition to Jixi Town, the gospel team has also undergone great changes.
In the past two months, the gospel team has received four batches of 19 new members in total.
This time, everyone no longer has the unlimited trust that can be squandered towards the new members. Everyone was divided into groups of four, and naturally the newcomers had no objections in front of the powerful gospel team.
Actually, rules are such a big deal once you get used to them. As long as they are not too anti-human, as long as they are not too divorced from reality, as long as they are not too biased, and as long as they are not changed day by day, people really won't have much of an opinion.
From this aspect, the gospel team’s attitude towards newcomers can be regarded as extremely preferential treatment.
In many teams, newcomers generally have only two roles, cannon fodder and coolie. The gospel team can at least treat the newcomers equally, and enjoy the same distribution of work according to work and distribution of materials according to needs as the old members.
The gospel team is like a large onion, but it has grown into a complete whole.
