"What we need now are team members and survivors." Hou Ying said the reason why he chose this route, "We already have a lot of crystal nuclei. I calculated that there are always 1,191 first-level Crystal nuclei, two hundred and seven secondary crystal nuclei, these are the reasons and capital for us to expand our team."
Before a few people objected, Hou Ying continued: "I know that you plan to leave these crystal nuclei to comrades who may survive in the army base... I don't want to pour cold water on you, if your surviving comrades still stick to the army and If they have survived this month in the last days, they must have the ability to protect themselves, and they will definitely progress like zombies or progress faster than them, just like us. So no matter what the situation is, when we get there , these first-order crystal nuclei can play a negligible role."
"I think you are already mentally prepared for the dangers we will encounter along the way. Our place is so small, and we have almost died several times. I really dare not say that only eleven of us can arrive smoothly. Destination. Who knows if there are already level 4 zombies out there? Maybe there are already a lot of level 3 zombies? So, we need manpower."
Hou Ying looked at them solemnly, "My request is not high, but no matter what, I don't want any of you to die before me."
At this time, Hou Ying, who was toddling and groping and crawling at the beginning of the apocalypse, and everyone else were thinking about survival and strength, not ambition.
Everyone was touched and sat up straight for a while.
Jiang Tao wiped his face and said: "Brother Hou is right. To be honest, after hearing about the dirty things in Yecheng, I am not sensitive to the survivor base. I think... Yecheng is not a superhuman experiment. The inventor will not be the last one, and the bigger the base, the more likely this will happen. I don’t want us to fall into the quagmire until we don’t have enough self-protection capabilities.”
Hou Ying pursed her lips and said, "I gave up on Yecheng's path. There is indeed a reason for this. Xuanyuan, you should understand why I chose this way, right?"
Li Xuanyuan nodded heavily.
As soldiers, they cannot tolerate such crimes, but the facts of the last days tell them that they are no longer heroes who punish evil and promote good, but are just ordinary human beings struggling to survive. It’s not that he didn’t think about going back to rescue those supernatural beings who were imprisoned for experiments, but he never expressed such thoughts once, or that they both tacitly whitewashed the peace with each other, and they all “forgotten” those supernatural beings under the condemnation of conscience suffering.
They can't stop evil deeds, because that is a more severe test brought to mankind in the last days than viruses.
There will only be more and more people in the survivor's shelter, not to mention the struggle at the level of rights, even the demand for materials will become more and more urgent, which means that they need more supernatural beings and strong self-protection capabilities , so whether it is for the sake of selfishness or the overall situation, such experiments will only increase and not decrease.
There are only eleven of them now, barely nine in terms of combat power, outnumbered. Passing through Yecheng with so many supplies will only lead to sheep and tigers' mouths, and they may even have to pay for their lives.
Gongsun Jing sighed, turned away the subject and said, "It's good to go this way, at least it may be possible to rescue the single survivors. In the last days, it's not easy for anyone to survive."
So everyone unanimously passed this resolution, and according to the itinerary that was carefully planned for the new route, circled a few preferred places where they could temporarily stay, so that everyone could keep it in mind, and the meeting was adjourned.
The next day, several people split up.
Jiang Tao used steel to transform and strengthen the container heavy trucks, and worked together with Li Xuanyuan to dismantle the armored vehicles, and rebuilt the front of their heavy trucks with bulletproof and explosion-proof materials, leaving the rest of the general materials for use. Qiao Daye wandered the expressway for ten kilometers, and drove back a large freight truck with less damage as a means of transportation for temporary shipment—they all aimed at another heavy truck left in the steel plant.
Those who are free are helping to collect and arrange the materials, and stack them neatly by category on the parking lot in the service area so that Li Xuanyuan can carry them to the car with his supernatural power.
Eleven people were so busy that they finally packed the supplies and set off from five in the morning to three in the afternoon.
The heavy container is in the front, and it is loaded with heavy objects—nearly 35 tons of fuel oil, two large industrial generators, and the remaining materials for armored vehicles, steel, a forklift and two pairs of small forklifts. clamp. After tidying up, there is still one-third of the space left, which is reserved for the heavy materials in the industrial zone.
It is worth mentioning that they raised a layer on this heavy truck to create a mobile dormitory. The frame was made of steel, and then three layers were covered with a layer of industrial tarpaulin and a layer of waterproof membrane. Don't worry about rainstorms.
Oh, and more importantly, they dismantled the comfortable beds in the hotel and placed them here. Six 1.5-meter beds were placed one by one, which was both spacious and comfortable. It’s just that summer may be hot and unbearable, so they specially brought in a hanging air conditioner with two vertical cabinets, which can be adjusted for heating and cooling. For this reason, they also specially chose a relatively fuel-efficient and light household generator, which is used together with some pots and pans Put it on top of heavy truck.
The food is in the back of the truck, stuffed to the brim, and the space on the roof is used, simply with a layer of cloth and string to put bulky and light-weight daily necessities like toilet paper and towels and clothes on top.
Because the speed of the heavy truck is slower, the time spent on the road is a little longer. When I arrived at the industrial park, I collected some things at the steel factory I visited the first time, and it was too late.
Chef Hou Ying and Meng Hanghai helped. After they had a full meal, they divided the industrial park into four areas, and then divided the team into three small teams. It was decided who would stay behind tomorrow and who would be in charge of which area. After repeated confirmation, they got on the heavy truck Go to bed early on the second floor.
The soft light shines through the small ventilated window in the moonless and starless night. When Qiao Daye came out to take over the vigil in the second half of the night, he saw a rare gentle smile on Jiang Tao's face with Erlang's legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Xuanyuan went downstairs to wash up and did a hundred push-ups on the spot. Then he took tools to restore another steel factory heavy truck whose tires and motor had been removed by him. Hou Yingba watched this moment from the ventilation window, and then happily got out of the car along the steel stairs fixed on the wall of the heavy truck. After brushing his teeth, he couldn't help but go over to Li Xuanyuan who was lying under the heavy truck to repair the car, smiling. Ask him eagerly: "I knew today~Why bother?"
Li Xuanyuan, who was biting a dual-purpose wrench, glanced at him, coldly saw the toothpaste foam that hadn't been wiped off at the corner of his mouth, and looked away disgustedly, ignoring it.
Hou Ying got bored, and went back to wash her face—with Liu Zhan, a third-level water-type supernatural being, what they need most now is water. Jiang Tao boiled the water before running around the factory to warm up early in the morning. The service is very attentive.
When Jiang Tao and the others came back from their morning exercise, Hou Ying also prepared breakfast.
He greeted Li Xuanyuan loudly, and went upstairs to wake up Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai, who were heavily asleep. Wang Hehe was sweating from sleep, his whole body was weak, and he said whether to cry or not: "Uncle, I don't feel very well, why don't we go out today?"
Hou Ying was taken aback, and asked him carefully about the cause and effect, but Wang Hehe's ability level is too low, or maybe the distance between him and Hou Ying's levels these days is too large, and his predictive dreams are far less clear than before. There is no reason why. It wasn't until he sat at the foldable dining table that he saw Qiao Daye who was eating porridge, and was stunned for a moment before pointing at him and saying, "Old uncle, the person I dreamed about was him."
Qiao Daye blinked his eyes, and subconsciously answered with a smile before he recovered, "Could it be colored? Hey, Brother Monkey, your family education is too successful, look at this child—"
"Shut your stinking mouth!" Gongsun Jing cursed angrily, but Ji Yao hastily asked, "Is it a good dream or a nightmare?"
"...it's blurry, I can't see clearly, I feel bad anyway."
Wang Hehe said hesitantly.
Qiao Daye didn't care much and said, "Last time when we were injured, you made good predictions. Now that the third- and fourth-level zombies are all dead, what can I do if I go out?"
Wang Hehe said angrily: "Last time, my uncle and the others at least came back alive!"
This terrible premonition had already tormented him almost to a nervous breakdown, and Qiao Dayo's indifferent attitude stimulated him even more.
Hearing him yelling like this, not to mention others, even Qiao Daye himself was startled.
Everyone paid more attention to this matter. If Wang Hehe's foresight ability didn't give warning when Hou Ying and the others returned home with serious injuries, this time it was decided that Qiao Dayo was in danger. It would only be a more tragic situation than before. .
Hou Ying made a decision and said: "It happens that the second child stayed for the second half of the night last night. Today he stays to rest, and Gongsun, you also stay and take care of him. For the rest of us, Xuanyuan, Lao Su and I will follow the rules. The original plan was to be in charge of the first and second districts, and Tao Ge, A Zhan, and Yao Ji formed a team. You must remember that supplies are secondary, and everything is based on your own safety."
Originally, Jiang Tao was supposed to stay and continue to repair the car, but now it has been adjusted and several people have no objection. Although Qiao Daye is a little unhappy, he dare not object.
The two teams went to the fuel factory to drive away the two large trucks that Jiang Tao and the others had picked up yesterday, and split up according to the plan. When they took a break at noon, everything went well.
This industrial park is an old industrial area, and most of them are heavy industries. With fuel oil and enough steel, other heavy industrial products are a burden for them who have limited transportation space. .
That's why Hou Yingcai discussed with them to set aside four areas to collect necessary supplies. Among them, there is a hardware parts factory for the military in the first area. Li Xuanyuan said that the underground workshop of this factory makes domestic bullets—although it has been planned Focusing on abilities, but this kind of thing is naturally better than lacking. In the second area, on the edge of the industrial park, there is an instrument processing factory. In addition to various industrial measuring and detecting instruments, there are also scarce goods such as satellite navigators for private cars.
In the third district, their target was a fiber chemical factory suspected of violating regulations, selling dog meat under false pretences, and the products inside were actually counterfeit goods that imitated famous brand clothes, shoes and bags. There is a pharmaceutical and chemical factory in the last area. Originally, Gongsun Jing was arranged in their team to collect some medicines in a targeted manner, but now that Gongsun Jing is staying behind, they naturally take away everything they can , Is there any need to go back and talk about it.
The actions of the two teams were very purposeful, so they first went to the second and fourth districts on the edge of the industrial park in the morning, and rushed to the first and third districts in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, it was Hou Ying who drove the car. After the three of them drove into the factory, Li Xuanyuan was not in a hurry to go down to the underground factory. He first picked and picked among the hardware. After sweeping through ten boxes of goods, it took up half of the big truck in an instant. Hou Ying has never seen most of the parts. Then, leaving Su Fenghe on the ground to cover, Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan headed for the underground factory.
"There are zombies."
After leaving the underground factory, Hou Ying reminded.
Although this industrial area has been swept up by them, there are fishes on the ground that slip through the net, not to mention the underground factories that they haven't gone deep into. But fortunately, the zombie abilities are generally level 1, and there are only two level 2 zombies. Li Xuanyuan directly let the vines drill into the heads of the zombies to take away the crystal core, and there was no more blood. Hou Ying looked at it and sighed, these more than a hundred zombies couldn't withstand Li Xuanyuan's move, and compared with her weak hearing ability, she couldn't be more distressed.
"Fuck, you didn't say they also make guns?"
Looking at all kinds of guns hanging on the entire wall of the underground factory, Hou Ying was dazzled, and her hands were itchy for a while.
Li Xuanyuan said contemptuously, "That's for testing bullets."
Hou Ying suddenly realized, no wonder there are so many types of guns, and there are only about one or two of each. Li Xuanyuan took him to inspect the nearly 1,000-square-meter factory, looking after the things to take away. Li Xuanyuan began to send the packaged bullets up, while Hou Ying helped seal the unsealed boxes. — Such delicate work, using Li Xuanyuan's ability to do it would take time and energy.
Just as she was busy, Hou Ying's ears suddenly flickered, and she suddenly looked behind her, only to find that there was nothing there. He shook his head, listened again but couldn't hear anything, frowned deeply, and said to Li Xuanyuan: "Xuanyuan... I feel like a strong energy wave appeared just now, it wasn't from the few of us. Ability—Xuanyuan! Is this direction facing the steel plant?!"
He suddenly pointed to the position behind him, Li Xuanyuan was startled, and the two of them thought of the premonition that Wang Hehe said in the morning, and they were immediately horrified!
