After Vance finished telling these stories, the three of them stopped talking, and there was only the monotonous sound of the car's engine and air conditioner in the car.
After nearly two hours of driving, the convoy passed through Todo Town and arrived at Putuo City.
Vance has naturally been to Puduo City many times, but this was the first time he saw Puduo City looking like this.
"You are really capable." Vance, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said sarcastically to Egger in the back seat.
Egg smiled awkwardly.
Afterwards, everyone got out of the car and gathered in the white-dusted Nancheng Square.
Egger simply assigned the task again.
Yesterday, Allen worked overtime with a few helpers and made several more ignition-type napalm bombs. Based on the feedback of the effect that day, there is no need to develop a complicated remote-controlled detonation method. It can be used simply and primitively.
.
There are still two useless napalm bombs in the Nancheng Building. Take them out and put them together. Based on the experience the day before yesterday, as long as there is no sudden heavy rain, it should be enough to ignite.
In the third joint operation, the first and most important task is to completely eliminate the infected people in Puduo City.
Egg felt that the infected had entered the mature stage of screaming and could not be delayed any longer. Today he was going to take people to set the fire.
The commander stationed at the Nancheng Building is Vance, and his adjutant is Allen.
Originally, Iger wanted to keep Under, but he suddenly remembered that Vance was a redneck, and Under was the kind of brother-in-law that Vance hated the most: he had a bad mouth and a bad temper. The two worked together, and Iger was worried.
When I came back, only one person was alive.
Allen's injuries were not too serious. His sudden coma that day was mainly due to the dual effects of blood plague infection and sedatives. Oral sedatives are usually sustained-release agents, and it stands to reason that the onset of the disease would not be that fast, but Allen directly
I chewed up a few tablets of sedatives and swallowed them. The effects of the medicine were quite strong immediately.
For Vance, Iger felt that there was no need to explain anything more, and he felt that it would be useless if he said too much, and he might even get scolded. He could rest assured and leave it to Vance, and Iger took Under and two other men with him.
The field team members got into the pickup truck and rushed towards another landmark building in Puduo City, an 18-story apartment building that is the tallest building independent of a golden rooster.
This apartment building is located on the edge of the slum area of Puduo City, and the residents who live in it belong to the kind of residents who are neither above nor below. As long as the economic conditions are better, who wouldn't want to live in a big house with a front lawn and a backyard.
Of course, living in an apartment building with perfect supporting facilities and a decent environment is more comfortable than living in a low-rise shack across the street.
This operation was so risky that even Iger was unable to plan an escape route.
If you want to safely cover the slums with napalm bombs, you have to climb up this apartment building. To be more precise, considering the range of the slingshot, you need to climb to the top of the building to hit the napalm bombs as far away as possible.
The corridors of this apartment building are narrow, the floors are high, and it is the only building that is independent of the Golden Rooster. Once an infected person is blocked upstairs, it is really impossible to do anything, except to find a place to wait for help.
Besides, Egger couldn't think of any way to escape.
There is a saying that goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
With the war situation in Puduo City now like this, Ige doesn’t want to spend another half a year slowly taking it over. Since he wants to be efficient, he has to take certain risks.
Iger made an estimate and found that it was worth doing.
The pickup truck headed along the street towards the apartment building. The streets were still jammed with various vehicles, but today it was very easy to drive. Encountering streets blocked by vehicles, the pickup truck used the houses on both sides of the road that had been destroyed by fire.
The foundation was simply crossed.
As the last safety measure before the operation, Egger asked Joanna to drive the pickup truck quickly around the slums.
Except for a few infected people who were alerted by pickup trucks, no group of infected people was found wandering around the outskirts of the slums, and no screams were heard.
Joanna parked the pickup truck downstairs, and then everyone got out of the truck and went to the compartment, where they all picked up their equipment.
Egger took out his MP5 that was badly worn and had been unwilling to scrap it and was reluctant to use it. The silencer barrel of the MP5 was also very worn. No matter what, it was better than nothing.
Joanna carries a shotgun. She is still acting as an observer for Egger. When Egger moves forward, Joanna needs to cover behind him.
The remaining Under and two other field team members carried heavy backpacks containing napalm bombs. This was not over yet. Each of them was also holding a large pile of steel parts. This was designed by Allen.
A huge combination slingshot made by Si.
Each of these three field team members carried a total weight of more than 50 kilograms. They would have to climb the 18th floor later. They were like human donkeys.
Of course, in order to encourage them, Iger received a bottle of energy drink from Andy.
Watching Andy slowly take out the key, open the three locks hanging on the iron locker one by one, take out a bottle of energy drink from the cabinet, and then patiently hang up the three big locks again.
Egg nodded with satisfaction.
Although Robin and Hedme were not convicted, Andy was no fool. All remaining crystals and energy drinks were locked in his office and Andy kept them personally.
This bottle of hard-earned energy drink was divided into three portions and distributed to the three porters.
After drinking the energy drink in one gulp, about ten minutes later, Onder and the other three became visibly excited.
I saw one team member lying on the ground performing one-handed push-ups, and another team member kept doing jumping jacks. Speaking of which, Onder was the best, he was actually doing hip-hop, all of which were difficult moves with his head on the ground in circles.
.
Egger interrupted the talent show of the three and ordered them to bring their equipment and prepare to set off.
After Iger and Joanna tied a pair of flashlights on each other's football helmets and turned them on, Iger took the lead and walked into the dark corridor with a gun in hand.
The interior of this apartment building is even more dilapidated than what you see from the outside. It is estimated that the exterior walls have been repainted, and the walls inside the fire staircase are the original configuration of the apartment building.
Seeing this large piece of peeling wall and looming red bricks, Iger felt as if he had traveled to another time and space, to the post-disintegration Soviet Union.
Maybe this apartment building was actually built during the Cold War era.
During the Cold War, in order to stabilize the bottom class, the Western camp spent a lot of money and energy on improving the living conditions of the people at the bottom. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Cold War ended, and the biggest threat to the Western camp disappeared, and they were safe, so they
You don’t have to pretend anymore.
Since then, large-scale welfare infrastructure construction has come to a screeching halt, and what has already been started has become a feast for rentiers.
The construction period is getting longer and longer, the budget is getting larger and larger, and the quality of the project is getting worse and worse, so that the best examples like Clyde and Lal have emerged.
Different from the Nancheng Building, there are no fire doors on each floor of the fire escape to separate the stairs from the corridor. However, due to the structural problems of the apartment, there are no windows in the corridor. There are densely packed residences on the left and right. Standing in the corridor and looking over, there are only
A straight black well can be seen leading into the distance.
The blood epidemic has been out for a long time. Even if there are infected people in the stairwells and corridors, they have already gone downstairs to go shopping. As the footsteps of Egger and others echoed in the stairwells and corridors, in this seemingly empty building
In the one-person apartment building, Egger vaguely heard the sound of banging on the door.
Egg ignored the infected people who were locked in his home. The doors here are not easy to open. There are at least 5 mortise locks behind each door on average. Not to mention the infected people, even ordinary people who have been drunk for a while
You may not be able to open the door even after half a while.
After Iger and Joanna rested twice, the group finally climbed to the top of the building.
The roof of the building is very wide, about the size of two basketball courts. The roof is also full of faded clothes and bed sheets, and their owners will never come to collect them again.
As soon as they reached the top of the building, Iger and Joanna were so tired that they sat down on the ground. Speaking of which, climbing the 18th floor was just climbing three sixth floors.
Many people have the experience of climbing to the 6th floor, and many men ran up in one breath.
But the 18th floor is much more difficult than the three 6th floors, probably twice as difficult.
The three men of Under and De were in perfect condition, and they didn't even need to be commanded by Egg. The three of them didn't even need to put down their backpacks, and just carried dozens of kilograms of napalm bombs on their backs and assembled the slingshot there.
Looking at the appearance of these people, Egg recalled how he felt when he drank energy drinks.
Indeed, after drinking the energy drink, I feel that my thinking is very clear, my brain works very fast, and my self-perception is very good, good, better, best. There is no better feeling than this.
But in the sober third-party perception, people who drink energy drinks definitely have conscious deviations.
Egg didn't pay attention to Under and the others who were working until they installed the giant slingshot and just wanted to launch napalm bombs without even a test launch. Egg jumped over and called a halt.
"Stop!" Egg shouted loudly.
After Egger walked over, he stopped Under, who was holding the napalm bomb. He said to Under with a very serious tone: "First test fire with an empty position."
Be sure to test-fire with a short position.
This is napalm. If the slingshot was not loaded properly and failed to launch the napalm after being ignited, but instead hit the ground directly, this book would be ruined.
Under Egger's order, the two field team members struggled to pull up the rubber band of the slingshot with both hands. They retreated like a tug of war, while Egger calculated the distance with steps.
Allen said that the minimum launch distance is 8 meters, the maximum distance should not exceed 14 meters, and the middle value should be about 10 meters.
Seeing that the two field team members had obviously stretched the rubber band 14 meters and were still trying to pull it, Iger decisively stopped.
"stop!"
After the two people stopped, Egg shouted to them: "Listen to my command, three, two, one, let go!"
The two men loosened their hands at the same time, and the rubber band snapped back.
After seeing that there were no problems with the test firing, Egger pulled out the machete on his back and drew a line on the ground.
8 meters, 9 meters, 10 meters, all the way to 14 meters.
"Joanna, you will be the launch commander." After Egg arranged the mission for Joanna, he said to Under, who looked impatient: "You can load the bomb."
This huge rubber band requires at least 5 people to operate.
Two people held the leather bag, and a third person stood behind them and used a long rope to hold the napalm bomb. After the launch command was given, the three people needed to let go at the same time.
Then there is the need for an ignition person, and Joanna is responsible for ignition and issuing launch instructions.
Finally, there is the observer. The observer needs to observe the explosion of the napalm bomb and then give instructions on the intensity of the launch.
The three strong men pulled their leather bags and retreated to a position of 10 meters. Joanna lit a windproof lighter in her hand.
"Ready, three, two, one." When Joanna counted to one, she lit the fuse with a lighter, "Fire!"
When the three men heard the command, they let go at the same time, and the napalm bomb was stretched by the rubber band and flew away into the distance.
"beng!"
A beautiful fire flower bloomed in mid-air, and then fire rain fell from the sky, covering almost half of the football field.
Egg looked down with his eyes wide open, and the fire rain fell, but it had no effect.
"Again! This time 12 meters."
"beng!"
"14 meters."
"beng!"
Only after Egg fired his third napalm bomb did he see billowing smoke rising from the ghetto.
