Chapter 1299 Three Days!
Xinshi.
Luotian Town, Provincial Highway S69.
A huge mobile fortress drove slowly.
Roar, roar, roar!
Because the road was less than two kilometers away from the Ganjiang River, there were many zombies here.
In fact, there were not many zombies here during the day, but at night many zombies came out of the river, making the road here full of zombies.
"Fuck, why are there so many zombies here? There weren't so many when we passed by here before!" Cannon looked at the dense group of zombies outside through the bulletproof glass and exclaimed.
Li Gang, who was drinking water from a bottle next to him, glanced at him and said:
"We used to travel during the day, not at night."
"But this night and day are simply two different worlds."
While speaking.
Pah!
A zombie with amazing jumping power hit the iron net outside the bulletproof glass directly.
The zombie grabbed the iron net and slowly came to the opposite side of Cannon's sight.
Boom, boom, boom!
The zombie kept hitting the iron net, making a huge noise.
"Scare me!" Da Pao saw the zombie less than one meter away from him suddenly appear in front of him, and immediately lost the ability to control his expression.
If it weren't for the iron net and bulletproof glass outside, he would have been caught by this zombie.
Looking at this zombie, he found that the limbs of this zombie were very slender, symmetrical and coordinated.
"This is a sensitive zombie with amazing jumping ability!"
Li Gang looked at this zombie and continued:
"We encountered it once before when we were searching for building materials."
Da Pao frowned and said:
"This is unscientific. Our control room is more than four meters above the ground. How can this zombie jump so high?!"
"To be precise, it didn't jump up. Didn't you see it just now? This zombie climbed up, and it climbed up by stepping on the zombies below." Li Gang replied.
"Can it still climb? How disgusting!" Da Pao looked at the zombie still waving its fangs and claws in front of him, affecting his vision, so he pressed the white button next to it.
Beep——
Two sharp blades quickly crossed from both sides!
Similar to the windshield wipers on vehicles, the difference is that these are two sharp knives.
Puff!
The zombie was immediately split into four, and the zombie body slowly fell to the ground, being eaten by the zombies below.
At the same time, the mucus of the zombie body splashed onto the bulletproof glass.
Cannon pressed another button again.
Squeak--
Several streams of water sprayed from the roof, washing away the mucus debris on the bulletproof glass.
The wipers outside the bulletproof glass began to work.
This behemoth is different from ordinary vehicles, and has two layers.
The first layer is the iron net outside, which is more like an iron railing than an iron net. The railing is equipped with a sharp knife gate to clean up the zombies that climb up.
The second layer is bulletproof glass, which is very strong.
Like other normal vehicles, it is equipped with wipers to clean the mucus or rain on it.
Cannon, who had regained his normal vision, frowned and said to Li Gang:
"There are too many zombies. Turn on the meat grinder, otherwise the speed will be slowed down by the zombies."
Li Gang picked up the intercom to contact Lao Luo behind him, and Lao Luo gave a reply.
"Open it."
Cannon turned on the meat grinder without hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang!
Squeak--
The armor plate that was originally closed in front of the behemoth suddenly opened to both sides.
The meat grinder moved out from inside, and after this meat grinder moved out.
It started automatically.
Ka, ka, ka!
The sharp blades tumbled and crushed the zombies involved.
This meat grinder is somewhat similar to a harvester, but the difference from the harvester is that the blades used in this meat grinder are sharper and stronger.
The efficiency of this meat grinder in killing zombies is extremely amazing. Almost every second, more than a dozen zombies are involved and then crushed by the blades.
Where the giant passed, it left a pile of limbs and debris, which were quickly snatched by other zombies.
The tires also kept crushing the zombies. Under these huge tires, the zombies' bodies were like fragile little watermelons, which were easily crushed.
Behind.
Lao Luo looked at the picture projected on the screen by the drone, his face a little grim.
The picture showed a drone flying over the giant.
From the picture, it can be seen that outside the mobile fortress where they are, there are zombies surrounded on all sides.
And in front, the number of zombies has not decreased, there are still so many zombies.
"How much has the speed been reduced now?" Lao Luo picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Li Gang.
Li Gang glanced at the dashboard and replied: "13 kilometers per hour."
13 kilometers per hour, this speed is not an exaggeration to describe as a turtle's speed.
Even if it takes ten hours to drive, it is only 130 kilometers, which is too slow.
At this speed, I don’t know if I can arrive in Chang City as scheduled tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, Lao Luo quickly said: "Can we speed up to 15 kilometers?"
Li Gang replied helplessly:
"No, I just tested it. Our car itself is not fast and heavy. Now there are so many zombies blocking the front, which seriously affects our speed.
If the meat grinder is not turned on, our speed will be reduced to single digits per hour."
"Okay, that's all we can do now." Lao Luo put down the intercom.
The lights in the car were bright, and he looked at another screen on the wall of the car.
The screen showed the picture of the drone three kilometers away.
There are still zombies on the road
Nowadays, there are few zombies on the road during the day, but zombies come out at night.
It's a headache, this is all we can do tonight.
We must speed up during the day tomorrow. According to the original plan, we will arrive in Chang City tomorrow morning, and they will be able to cross the cross-river bridge before sunset.
If we wait until night to cross the cross-river bridge, it's a bit tingling to think about it.
There are zombies in the river. So many zombies gather on the bridge, which adds a great burden to the bridge. They are still driving this behemoth through it, and the bridge may not be able to hold up.
If the bridge can't hold up and breaks, their whole car will fall down, and they will definitely die.
Therefore, they must cross the cross-river bridge during the day.
If they can't make it during the day tomorrow, they can only wait another day.
Dazhangshu Base.
With the countdown to the thunderstorm disaster, people from top to bottom are more or less worried.
This feeling of impending storm makes people feel like a stone is pressing on their hearts.
Anxiety, uneasiness.
It is because they have experienced several natural disasters that they know the horror of natural disasters.
Of course.
There are also some very optimistic people who have great confidence in the Dazhangshu Base.
They think that the Dazhangshu Base has survived so many natural disasters, and this time it can also survive.
Nowadays, the buffer city wall of the Dazhangshu Base has been built to more than seven meters high. After all, it covers an area of 20,000 acres, and the circumference of the wall has reached nearly 10,000 meters.
Due to the addition of nearly 2,000 cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel, there are less than 5,000 people in the Dazhangshu Base now.
After these days of busy work, the Dazhangshu Base has made all kinds of preparations to fully resist natural disasters.
People in the surrounding satellite cities also retreated to the buffer zone today.
The temperature is also rising day by day, but the temperature at the end of May is almost the same as in summer.
Even at night, the temperature is 30 degrees.
Li Yu came to the balcony on the roof from the bedroom and looked at the silent night sky.
Due to the existence of the buffer city, the zombies that came out at night were isolated hundreds of meters away, and the three walls blocked him, so he couldn't hear the roar of the zombies in the inner city.
Looking up at the moon, the moonlight was dim.
The bamboo forest not far behind the villa area swayed with the evening breeze.
"I don't know how Gangzi and the others are doing now."
Li Yu just wanted to light a cigarette, but he restrained himself after thinking about it.
"Why don't we fire a few shots to blow up the zombies in front!" Da Pao looked at the dense zombies at the turning point in front and turned his head to Lao Luo and said.
"No."
Lao Luo decisively refused:
"There is a mountain next to it. If the shells are not accurate, the hillside will collapse and the road will be blocked, and we can't get through; and the sound of the shells is so loud that it will attract more zombies."
"Okay." Da Pao gave up helplessly.
Just looking at so many zombies in front of him made him feel a little itchy. So far, the weapon equipment of this car has only been tested for the meat grinder, and the other 155MM howitzers have not been used.
In fact, those weapons are not used along the way. Just relying on this giant car that is seven or eight meters high, the tires alone are two or three meters high, and it can be pushed horizontally. After all, the height of zombies is not as high as the tires of the giant car.
This night is a test for this giant car.
But what makes the cannons feel fortunate is that there has been no major problems.
It's just that there are zombies all over the road, so they can't see the road conditions clearly, which leads to some bumps.
The chassis of this car is fully enclosed, which is completely different from the usual chassis. The bottom is fully enclosed, and the motor and other components are sealed, so the zombies can't touch it at all.
There is no situation where the zombie body is rolled in the tire.
The gap between the tires is also large, enough for the zombie body to be rolled out.
Everyone takes turns to drive this mobile fortress.
One night passed.
At around five o'clock, the number of zombies on the road began to decrease slowly.
Da Pao and Lao Luo had already rested, and Li Gang was still on duty here to control the entire vehicle.
"Master Yang, turn off the meat grinder."
Master Yang nodded, and then turned off the meat grinder.
Beep——
The meat grinder slowly retracted.
Click——
The armor plates on both sides moved to the middle.
Boom!
Finally merged to form a baffle.
Li Gang rubbed his swollen eyes. He rested at nine o'clock in the evening and slept until four o'clock in the morning to replace Lao Luo.
But he didn't sleep well last night, and the car body was shaking all the time.
The car body kept hitting and crushing the zombies, making a loud noise, which made him sleep uneasy.
"You drive, I'll make some tea to refresh myself." Li Gang said to Master Yang.
Then he returned to the living area, took a thermos cup and poured a cup of hot water, and put some old tea leaves in it.
Smelling the dense tea fragrance, he was refreshed.
Xiao Liu passed by him, knocked down the shelf above, climbed up to take down the drone, and replaced it with a fully charged drone.
After doing this, he put the shelf back and pressed a button next to it again.
The armor plate on the drone opened, and the platform under the drone rose to the roof.
Woo——
The drone flew off the roof under Xiao Liu's control.
Li Gang made tea and sat in the command position behind the driver's seat.
He glanced at his watch and it was past five o'clock.
It was estimated that it would be dawn soon.
Ten minutes later, the sky was ablaze with clouds, and the red clouds were very beautiful.
After the sun came out, the number of zombies on the roadside decreased again.
"Speed up, increase to 25 kilometers per hour!" Li Gang said to Master Yang Zhong after seeing the decrease in zombies.
Boom!
The acceleration of the giant car was relatively fast, after all, it was a tram.
There was a little bit of recoil, and the scenery on both sides swept behind at a faster speed.
They have now arrived in Zhang City in the south of Chang City.
It is estimated that there are still 50 kilometers to go. At the current speed, it will take two hours.
If there is no accident next, they should be able to cross the cross-river bridge in Wu City before dark.
As long as today is over, they will be confident that they can reach Oil City before noon tomorrow.
The North.
Roundtable of Thirteen Powers.
Thirteen leaders representing the affiliated forces of the North gathered together to discuss the thunderstorm disaster that was about to come.
"I don't accept it! Why did you arrange for my Wei Meng Gang to be on duty at the main gate? The zombie tide here must be the most ferocious!" A dwarf who was only 1.35 meters tall stepped on a stool and slapped the table to express his dissatisfaction.
Hearing him say this, someone immediately retorted:
"This was decided by drawing lots, and we are not bullying you. Look, He Weiming and the others have no objection to guarding the southwest side, but there is a river below, which is also difficult to guard!"
Others also catered to him:
"Yes, Gao Wei Meng, everyone drew lots, just accept it."
"Yes, don't make everyone unhappy."
"Shorty, I have no objection to guarding the back door, what else do you want??!"
Facing verbal criticism, Gao Wei Meng retracted his short legs and sat cross-legged on the stool angrily.
He was only 1.35 meters tall, so after he sat down, he was much shorter than the others.
"Okay, what else do you want to talk about?" Gao Weimeng said impatiently.
Someone said:
"I think we should elect one person to coordinate, otherwise it would be too inefficient to hold a meeting every time we make a decision."
As soon as the voice fell.
A big man stood up and said:
"I don't agree! It's good like it is now. The power of each team is different, but everyone has a vote. I think it is the most reasonable."
"If this person is elected, what if someone is dissatisfied? It will still cause a fight."
"That's it. Vote every time you have a meeting. The simplest is to draw lots."
After he finished speaking, seven or eight people immediately responded.
"You're right, I don't agree either."
"It's good like it is now."
Oil City.
Ju Tianrui woke up. He slept for two whole days.
After waking up, his mind was clearer than ever before, and he was refreshed.
Thinking of the mess he had made in the trading market a few days ago, he slapped his head.
Sure enough, you can't do things while you're holding on!
People have limited energy. If you work day and night, your brain will gradually become stagnant and you can't figure out many things.
He finally understood why the minister asked him to go and rest immediately.
Hungry!
When he woke up, he felt his stomach was empty and even a little painful.
He got up quickly and went downstairs to find something to eat.
"Captain, you're awake." Dongtai walked over with a bunch of keys.
"Yeah, has the minister gone back? Who is managing the oil city now?" Ju Tianrui asked after seeing Dongtai.
"Still here, the minister is not going back to the headquarters base, he is staying."
"Great!" Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain, the thunderstorm disaster is estimated to arrive in three days, and I'm going to sleep until tomorrow because of you!" Dongtai said with a smile.
Ju Tianrui was shocked when he heard this.
"I slept for two fucking days?"
