Chapter 1604 Natural disasters and man-made disasters
Old Man Wang's apparent anger towards his son, Fatty Wang, was actually just for Liu Shiba to see. What he secretly meant was, look, how much do we, father and son, trust you?
Liu Shiba just laughed it off, but he was still shocked by Wang Dabiao's foresight. Being able to provide food rations for nearly a thousand people for three to five years was simply unimaginable in this world.
feat.
After walking around on the top of the cliff, Liu Shiba turned around and pointed at the six people following behind him, including Nian Xiaonian, Wang Sihan, and Liu Hai, and smiled at Old Man Wang:
"How did Mr. Wang arrange for us people? They have been traveling for two days and one night. Let them have a bed and have a good rest."
Wang Dabiao smiled and said:
"Don't worry, it has been prepared for a long time. Just to the left of the small cliff, there is a black three-story building specially prepared for you. It is more than enough for the people in Building 9 to live there."
Liu Shiba nodded, looked at Wang Dabiao and said with a smile:
"Find someone to take them over to rest first. I still have some questions to ask Mr. Wang. How about we find a quiet place to talk?"
When Old Man Wang heard this, he had no other expression. He seemed to have expected it, so he waved to the back and said:
"Target, you take Brother Liu's people to the three-story small black building on the left to rest."
Watching Fatty Wang leaving with the six people, Liu Shiba smiled slightly, looked sideways at Lao Hei who was following him, then looked at Wang Dabiao and said with a smile:
"I think the watchtower is good. You can just take in the surrounding scenery. Why don't we go up there for a walk?"
Old Man Wang nodded and said with a smile:
"Just what I wanted."
After climbing up the small cliff and onto the watchtower, Wang Dabiao waved his hand to keep the sentry guards away for the time being. Then he calmed down, looked at Liu Shiba and asked:
"Brother Liu, what do you want to know?"
Liu Shiba smiled, straightened his clothes without saying a word, then looked towards the cloudless distance with his hands behind his back for a long time, and then quietly whispered to Wang Dabiao, who was standing side by side:
"I want to know what made Mr. Wang decide to evacuate the Dingbian gathering place?
Over the past few decades, I think Zhao Sihai has wanted to annex the Wang family and the Ma family for more than a day or two. Why did he go all out to take action only this time?
Suppose that just because there is one more person or one less person in Building 9, such as the death of an insignificant second-level ability user, it will not touch Zhao Sihai's nerves and force him to make up his mind to destroy the Ma family and the
The Wang family, right? Please tell Mr. Wang the truth..."
"Hahahahaha!"
When Old Man Wang heard this, he laughed loudly.
After the laughter stopped, Old Man Wang looked at Liu Shiba and praised:
"You are not simple. Even my son didn't see the key, but you saw the unusual thing in it."
"Excellent!"
Liu Shiba said with a neither salty nor bland smile.
"Why!"
Old Man Wang sighed and continued:
"In fact, the Wang family decided to evacuate the gathering place urgently. Building No. 9 was certainly the cause, but in fact it was because the Dingbian gathering place was already facing collapse and a huge disaster, and it was beyond human power to stop it.
If the Wang family does not take the risk and leaves the Dingbian gathering place, then everyone will die without a burial place."
Liu Shiba was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: A huge disaster?
At this moment, Liu Shiba suddenly remembered that when he evacuated last night, his group was confronting a regiment of soldiers from Zhao Sihai...
Unexpectedly, both groups of troops were overwhelmed by an unknown tide of corpses, so that the scene became chaotic with loud gunfire, and only then did the Mitsubishi heavy truck have a chance to break out of the encirclement.
Staring at Old Man Wang, Liu Shiba suddenly burst out of his mouth with two words that made people laugh:
"Tide of corpses?"
Old Man Wang stared at Liu Shiba, nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, it's the corpse tide! What prompted Zhao Sihai to annex the Wang family and the Ma family was a huge corpse tide coming from the south and heading north quickly.
What you and Zhao Sihai encountered last night was just a small forward zombie wave. The real zombie wave may arrive here within seven days, and strictly speaking, it will pass through the Dingbian gathering area."
"A huge tide of corpses?"
Liu Shiba chewed on this word for a while and suddenly asked:
"How big is the tide of corpses? Thousands, tens of thousands?"
"Um?"
Old Man Wang instantly looked at Liu Shiba as if he were looking at a fool, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Ten thousand? Haha, even a zombie tide of hundreds of thousands cannot shake the fixed border gathering place with hot weapons and sufficient population.
According to the news brought back by an ability user from the Wang family who was sent out to investigate in a distant place, the lowest estimate of this corpse tide is in the millions.
As they headed north, there was no grass growing anywhere they passed. Several small gathering places with a population of thirty to fifty thousand they encountered along the way were destroyed without a chance to resist.
Among the destroyed gathering places, there was even a medium-sized gathering place with a population of 100,000. This medium-sized gathering place was located in the middle of the city fortress and had plenty of sophisticated weapons and ammunition.
The key is that after mobilization, the number of combatable soldiers in this gathering place has reached one-third of the entire population, close to 40,000 people..."
Having said this, Wang Dabiao stopped talking, fell silent, and looked into the distance like Liu Shiba...
"Crack!"
"hiss!"
Liu Shiba reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a match and took a deep breath. After the smoke was exhaled, he asked:
"Finally, what's the result?"
Wang Dabiao suddenly turned around, excitedly grabbed Liu Shiba's arm, and said in a trembling voice:
"There is no result at all. After that wave of corpses passed by that gathering place, it was as if that gathering place had never existed in the world. It was as if it had been wiped off the map. Not a single blade of grass was left to grow!"
"How could this happen? Didn't those soldiers and residents resist at all?"
Liu Shiba was stunned. He suddenly felt that he knew too little about this world.
"have!"
Old Man Wang shook his head and continued:
"It is said that the resistance was quite tenacious and the firepower was fierce. Unfortunately, after only holding on for three days, the gathering place was breached by the zombie wave. In the end, no one within the high walls of the gathering place survived."
When Liu Shiba heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes and he sneered:
"Isn't it right? If no one survives, how do you know, Mr. Wang?"
"hehe!"
Mr. Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you! There is indeed one person who survived, that is, the second-level ability user I sent out to contact the person in charge of the gathering place.
In fact, for a long time, many of the heavy weapons in my Wang family's business have come from that distant medium-sized gathering place, and the Dingbian gathering place cannot produce heavy weapons at all.
For example, the seven or eight Gatling heavy machines on our cliff all come from there, because I have long-term trade relations with that gathering place.
But the surviving member of the Wang family did not die because he had not entered the gathering place at that time, but witnessed with his own eyes the gathering place being destroyed by the zombie tide from a tall building far away."
At this time, Liu Shiba finally felt that the situation was serious and that it was probably out of control. Even the Wang family at this time was probably just trying to fight against a trapped beast...
