Chapter 123 The afterglow shines in the sky after the war, the occupied area
Zhou You walked over and said, "Let me do it."
The young cousin Dong Yongwu who was responsible for swinging the hammer on the side gave a grunt and handed the hammer to Zhou You.
Zhou You's right hand grasps the ash wood shaft in the middle and front part of the hammer, and then swings his arm.
The hammer hit the nail in front with one precise stroke.
Zhou You's force was just right. He smashed the nails in halfway and didn't cause the coffin to shake.
The little cousin on the side asked: "Brother, do you think my dad is a hero?"
"Calculate!"
Zhou You replied without thinking, and then hit the nail with another hammer. The nail was completely smashed in.
The little cousin on the side walked to the side again, picked up the second nail with a clip, and said: "But my mother has always felt that my father has no ambitions. He always said that when he was a teacher, he only knew how to teach honestly.
, she doesn’t even know how to get a job. She hasn’t been able to get any position for so many years, and she can’t hold her head high in her parents’ family.”
Zhou You shook his head, "Actually, in my opinion, my brother-in-law is the most capable and thoughtful among all my mother's brothers and sisters, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong career."
Dong Yongwu nodded, "Yes. My dad actually secretly told me before that he wanted to be a racing driver when he was young. But if he wanted to learn racing, he would need too much money. My grandfather's family's conditions did not allow it.
So he could only follow the example of his aunt and take the normal school entrance examination, and then teach in a strict manner. Every time he quarreled with his mother, he often complained to me, saying that if he had been braver and went out to learn racing by himself, he might have had a chance.
Become a champion, become a more famous driver, even if he retires, he can still do some racing business, and his mother will not talk about his incompetence all the time. But when I asked him if he really regretted it, he shook his head and said that he really wanted to
If I go out, I will be gone."
"People are all so complicated, and what you can't get is the best." Zhou You patted his younger cousin Dong Yongwu on the shoulder, "Then let me put it another way. If my uncle really becomes a driver, how can he break into
If he was famous, he wouldn't be still in the county now. Last night, no one would be able to drive the big G and break through the door first, and then even control the car accurately on the steps in front of me. At that time, the wheels were far away from my face.
It’s only one foot. No other driver would dare to drive like this, and it would definitely not achieve the effect of a magic weapon from heaven. But your dad can. It’s precisely because his car is close enough that he happens to be in front of us.
When his defense line could no longer hold up, he destroyed the rats' offensive. Then he drifted and slid in the courtyard, crushing many rats to death."
"If we were to make separate statistics on everyone's results last night, then your dad might be the single-kill champion. He killed and injured at least a thousand rats. In short, if it weren't for him, our death squad would have been destroyed.
Break through the defense line, and then everyone, including me, will die very quickly. Our bait will not be effective, and the ambush of 300,000 rats will be able to rush out and sweep across the county before the fire attack encirclement is formed."
"In this way, at least 50,000 people will die in the county last night. Our social order will completely collapse in an instant. In last night's battle, every person who sacrificed in every step is a well-deserved hero. And Qing's
My father, my brother-in-law, is undoubtedly the hero among heroes. Now do you understand what I mean?"
After saying that, Zhou You gave another heavy hammer and completely drove the second nail in.
More than ten minutes later, Zhou You nailed the boards on thirty coffins with his own hands, and the simple funeral came to an end.
Zhou You didn't have time to let himself sink into the atmosphere of sadness, but immediately integrated the gains and losses of last night's battle with his father.
At this time, Zhou Lingsheng had almost sorted out the report, and only had to make a final review of it.
In terms of material reserves, it can be said that there was no gain at all last night, only consumption.
Although humans carefully cleaned the battlefield after the war and tried to recover resources, a lot was still lost, and some disposable props such as steel bottles, glass bottles, and iron casings could not be recycled.
In terms of personnel, thirty people of the Zhou family died in the battle.
There are more than 100 wounded, including more than 70 lightly wounded. The estimated recovery time for these 70 people ranges from two to three days to one or two weeks.
More than fifty people were seriously injured.
The estimated recovery time for this group of people ranges from one month to three months. The specifics will depend on the physical changes of humans after their body size has shrunk, so we can only give a preliminary estimate of conservative estimates.
In addition, nearly 20 of the seriously injured people suffered disabling injuries, making it difficult for them to serve as front-line combatants in the future.
This means that in last night's battle, the Zhou family's true battle loss ratio reached 12.5%.
Such a loss is tragic.
But compared to the situation of the combat personnel in the county that Zhou Lingsheng obtained from Deng Tao, it was still much better.
The total number of combatants sent by the county government last night was about 2,000, with more than 230 killed and more than 300 seriously injured and disabled. The total battle loss ratio was as high as 25%.
But this is nothing to be proud of. The Zhou family has enjoyed the greatest support, and there are three overruns, Zhou You, Jiang Qianyun, and Luo Xun, leading the team, as well as the military support provided by another overrun, Lin Yao.
Should have performed better.
After summing up the losses, the next step is to look at the gains.
First of all, there are more than 350 combatants and lightly injured people who have basically escaped from last night's fierce battle.
Among them are both original full-time combatants and former ordinary workers who temporarily signed up to join the war.
These people have gained valuable practical experience and have withstood the most intense battle of mice and men in Lelai County to date.
Except for a very small number of people who have a mental breakdown and need rest and psychological intervention and guidance, the rest can all transform into full-time combatants.
This doubled the Zhou family's strength on the spot, reaching 360 men.
The most important thing is that this morning's statistics show that the total number of people exceeding the limit in Lelai County has also surged to more than 20 people.
Among them, the number of over-limit persons under the jurisdiction of the county government reached 16, and there were also five new over-limit persons within the Zhou family.
Because her eldest brother was dragged away, she lost control of her emotions and tried to rush into the swarm of rats to rescue her brother, but in the end she was outnumbered and almost trapped herself in it. However, she was rescued by Jiang Qianyun, who took a short rest and regained her composure.
High war eagle.
According to the current test results, although Gao Zhanying, a former tricycle driver, is good at endurance, due to the relatively special awakening process, his awakening direction seems to be focused on an explosion of absolute power doubling in a short period of time.
Tang Dahe, a former elite soldier, vegetable market butcher, and marathon enthusiast who has always been entrusted with important tasks and high hopes, was also successfully promoted last night.
In fact, last night, Tang Dahe himself did not realize that he had awakened beyond the limit. Instead, he only followed Zhou You the whole time, serving as the second arrow of the arc defensive formation and acting as wingman cover for Zhou You.
Zhou You's ability to fight without injury all the way until he was completely exhausted has something to do with Tang Dahe's uninterrupted flank cover.
In the end, Tang Dahe also persisted even longer than Zhou You. He was dragged behind to let his body cool down completely. After hearing that the fire attack over there had been successful, he fell asleep because of his mental relaxation, and
Start to get hot.
According to the test results, it can be inferred that after Tang Dahe awakened as a trans limiter, although his absolute strength and explosive power also increased, the real main direction of increase was endurance. This is also a relatively rare direction of increase at present.
The third person who became the over-limited person was Yuan Yike.
Finally, he achieved the transcendental state he had longed for, but Yuan Yike was not happy about it.
If she could turn back time, she would rather there would not have been such an intense battle yesterday.
Yuan Yike's physique does not have any particularly obvious direction of growth. It seems that like Zhou You and Jiang Qianyun, it is a comprehensive all-round growth without any emphasis.
However, in the actual combat ability test in the morning, Yuan also performed well in the melee quick dodge test, which particularly tested his reaction ability.
So Huayin, who was responsible for providing remote assistance for the test, immediately suggested strengthening the test of Yuan Yike's neurological response ability.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that Yuan Yike's additional increase in neurological response made him particularly good at close combat.
There are two other people, namely Jiang Chao and Yin Xiuwu.
Jiang Chao was one of the 300 people who joined the Zhou family after the supermarket was retaken.
This person is a true professional counterpart. His previous occupation was a free fighting coach. He was once a professional athlete of the provincial Sanda team. Although he did not achieve any results or become famous, he was very good at being a coach.
ability.
Many children in the county study in the club founded by Jiang Chao.
In last night's battle, Jiang Chao, a former professional athlete, finally shined. When Zhou You had to retreat to the rear due to exhaustion several times, he stood up and withstood the pressure.
In post-war tests, Jiang Chao was classified as an all-round, comprehensively enhanced type of trans-limiter.
Jiang Chao's increase rate is not as exaggerated as Zhou You's, but thanks to his original profession, Jiang Chao's comprehensive combat power has now caught up with Zhou You's, and he has firmly established himself as the second most powerful player in the Zhou family's combat team.
As for Yin Xiuwu, we can tell from his name that he is a contemporary of Yin Xiuwen's cousin, but Yin Xiuwu is much younger and is Yin Xiuwen's distant cousin. He followed Yin Xiuwen and left the dragon training village this morning.
He moved to the county seat and took refuge with the Zhou family.
When Yin Xiuwu was young, he was idle and did not study hard. Now he is older and more lazy. From time to time, he followed Yin Xiuwen out to do odd jobs, but he also spent three days fishing and two days working online. Every time he went out to work in the valley, he earned enough living expenses and
In order to pay for the school fees for the children at home, I went back to my hometown to hang out, playing cards and hanging out on the street all day long.
When he soon ran out of money, he immediately went to find Yin Xiuwen and worked on the construction site for two months.
Everyone in the Yin family felt that Yin Xiuwu was incompetent.
But fortunately, he wasn't a big card player, his poker skills were pretty good, he didn't mess with professional gamblers, and he didn't lose much money, so he was tolerated.
Yesterday, the Yin family was eager to gain a foothold within the Zhou family, and the elders came forward to mobilize. They actually sent over sixty people who work all year round, including dealers and construction site workers.
When he signed up to become a member of the death squad, Yin Xiuwu was also taken into the death squad by his cousin Yin Xiuwen.
Unexpectedly, Yin Xiuwu, who has been mediocre all his life and has implemented the principle of eating and waiting to die, is actually extremely talented in drawing a sword to fight.
Whenever Jiang Qianyun, a "veteran" over-limit player, tried to retreat with all his strength, Yin Xiuwu next to him took advantage of the situation to expand the defense area, and actually managed to survive the whole process.
After reading these summaries, Zhou You rubbed his temples and said: "Judging from the final result, although our losses were heavy, we gained a lot. The most important thing is that after this battle, Le Lai
The rats in the county area may not be able to recover in a short period of time. This will buy more time for the county's resettlement work and production recovery work."
Zhou Lingsheng nodded, "Yes. I have here a national-level report sent to me by the county government last night. It is marked as top secret. Only the two of us can read it. Please delete it in time after reading it."
"OK."
"Then you take a look first, I'm going to get busy."
After saying that, Zhou Lingsheng turned around and left without delaying. After last night's battle, the Zhou family's supply gap was indeed quite large, and there was always endless work to do.
Zhou You opened this top-secret report with a heavy heart.
Even though he had made mental preparations in advance, his face turned dark when he actually saw it.
When traveling around, I hoped that Lelai County would be the most special place.
But now it seems that it is just special, not "the most".
According to the previous administrative divisions, there are currently more than 1,300 counties, more than 300 county-level cities, and a total of more than 1,600 county-level administrative units in the country.
Last night, more than 70 counties across the country were subject to large-scale raids on the same day.
This shows that the intelligence growth rates of rats in most areas across the country are relatively similar, which is consistent with a unified pattern.
Fortunately, not all rats choose the county-level substation as their target.
Some rat armies choose to attack human settlements directly, while others choose to attack granaries, food industry parks and other areas.
There are also "stupid" rat commanders who did not select a target at all, but gathered all the rats they could at about the same time, and then poured their troops into the county like boiling water.
Including Lelai County, county-level substations in only twelve counties were raided.
Unfortunately, only one county in Lelai finally managed to defend this strategic location. The substations in the other eleven counties were quickly breached, followed by a large-scale power outage, and then an army of rats made a surprise attack in the dark.
One night passed, and all eleven counties had turned into a living hell.
As for the other sixty counties and cities, the situation is different.
In some counties, the rat army chose granaries and industrial parks as their attack targets. Most of the humans in those places adopted tactics similar to those in Lelai County, which was fire attack.
Humans have caused a lot of damage to rats at the cost of a large amount of strategic materials.
However, there were also cases where the fire attack failed and the strategic objectives were achieved by the rats. Not only did humans lose strategic supplies, but the rats also counterattacked and entered the county.
Although when there was light, the combat effectiveness of humans was not reduced too much, and even the attack of the rats was basically repelled in the end, but after such a fierce battle all night, the losses of humans were extremely heavy.
Death tolls range from thousands to tens of thousands by county.
As for those counties where the Rat Legion attacked the county towns with their troops at will, the situation was also different.
The rat commanders in two counties seemed to be particularly cunning and clever.
Although it was a chaotic battle, it also formulated a general course of action for the rats under its command. It was still to cut off the power supply to humans, but the target of the attack was changed from county-level substations to street-level low-voltage substations and various communities.
The power distribution room, the power distribution room of each building, and even the entrance switch of each household.
Of course, the commands given by these rat kings are not as accurate as this, and the low-IQ rats below cannot understand such complex commands. But you probably only need to remember one thing, that is, bite the wire when you see it. It doesn't matter if you are electrocuted.
Then just keep going up and biting.
Eventually, not only the power supply in these counties was completely paralyzed, but also the communications.
In the end, it was the refugees or the troops trying to support that could slowly convey the relatively lagging news.
Those places are miserable, very miserable.
The four words "purgatory on earth" are no longer enough to describe it. Even well-trained soldiers were unable to withstand such a blow and suffered a mental breakdown while on the drone.
After reading this information, Zhou You's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was the "Guide" that had once again issued a new national announcement.
In this announcement, there was a slight mention of the rat tide offensive last night, but it was not written so clearly and clearly. It only said that about 40 counties and cities across the country fell last night, and more than 10 million people were still in the occupied areas.
middle.
Yes, after the war mobilization order, a vocabulary that was once very familiar to the Chinese people but is now gradually unfamiliar came into everyone's sight again.
It is the "occupied area".
The meaning behind the three words "occupied area" is self-explanatory.
During the human civil war, it goes without saying how the enslaved people living in occupied areas lived.
Now it is a war between two completely different civilizations and races.
I don't even dare to think carefully about what the human beings in the occupied areas will do.
After this notification, there is clear guidance from the national agency on the next action arrangements.
All counties and cities that were not raided yesterday must immediately shift their focus to ensuring basic power supply.
But at the same time, whether they successfully defended the substation or other key facilities this time, or the county that has not yet been attacked, they must be prepared for a complete power outage and communication interruption.
Nowadays, human production and life are inseparable from electricity, but sooner or later the rats, like their counterparts in the two counties that were completely captured, will realize that they don't actually need to attack areas heavily guarded by humans, they just need to grab the wire and chew it.
, can leave humans helpless.
At the same time, all people who are still able to move, even minors under the age of 18, as long as they are over the age of 12 and have a certain ability to move, must join the action team and more actively hunt and eliminate rats everywhere.
.
At least he has to serve as a reserve. No one is qualified to stay in the safe zone and enjoy the peace and tranquility that others have sacrificed their lives for.
Previous war mobilization orders only called on adults to participate, and at the same time focused most of their attention on the placement of personnel.
But now this order has a sense of death and destruction.
