Chapter 9: Zombie evolution

The space inside the armored vehicle is limited, but in the absence of knowing when the end of the world will end, it is definitely better to have more supplies than less. The supplies for such a medium-sized service area are right in front of them, so who would want to let them just let it go

However, how to take away such materials is a difficult problem.

According to their way of advancing regardless of their charge, ordinary cars can't bear it at all. Even if the supply vehicle is far behind the armored vehicle that opens the road, it is equally dangerous. Not to mention that the vehicle that has moved after being hit by the armored vehicle may explode at any time, and even the foundation of the highway may be as overwhelmed as today's broken bridge. If there are no roads, what should we do if the people and supplies on the supply truck are left behind

Jiang Tao has the ability to transform ordinary trucks, but a clever woman can hardly cook without rice, and without those special materials, it is empty talk.

After racking their brains and thinking for a while, several people met each other's eyes, and they all saw each other's unwillingness.

Even if Hou Ying's car was replaced with a larger one, the materials that could be carried away were only a drop in the bucket. They now have limited manpower and limited ability, and the golden mountain is right in front of them, but no one has the ability to chew it down.

Hou Ying, who is still very familiar with this area, said: "I remember that there is a steel factory in the nearby industrial park, and the boss is also doing business with China International Trade Corporation. The factory is responsible for the transportation itself, and has two to three heavy trucks and some international shipping. Standard container. If you are willing to bet that not all heavy trucks will be sent out to deliver goods before the end of the world, you can go there and have a look.”

Jiang Tao and the others were very moved when they heard it.

The international standard container itself is very strong, and more importantly, a large container is equivalent to a movable house - if you are lucky, you can find a container with a specification above 40GP, which can hold materials with a space of at least 50 square meters. If the space is fully utilized, the materials that can be accommodated will be very impressive.

Moreover, the heavy trucks specially designed to carry containers are also very large, weighing dozens of tons at the lightest, and it is no problem to replace armored vehicles to open the road.

Although Hou Ying cautiously expressed that they might fail, they were all eager to try.

Seeing that they would definitely go through this, Hou Ying said with a smile: "It doesn't matter even if they miss out. I visited his factory before, and there was a large forklift and two small forklifts inside. We can change one if we have a forklift." A gentler way to open the road, although the speed will be a little slower, but the loss is small and Qiao Daye does not need to take such a big risk to search for survivors. In this way, it is feasible to switch to a large truck to load supplies."

Hearing this, they all had smiles on their faces.

When Jiang Tao was happy, he said naively: "Monkey, you have a fight with our instructors. They all say half and half, which is not cool."

Qiao Daye laughed loudly, "That's what leaders say, you idiot!"

Even Li Xuanyuan, who doesn't smile so easily, smiled very brightly this time, making his handsome appearance look a few years younger, probably really in a good mood, seeing Hou Ying's tendency to look dumbfounded, he didn't open his mouth to sting he.

So everyone took out the map drawn by Li Xuanyuan, and Hou Ying recalled the general location of the steel plant.

Li Xuanyuan thought about it silently, found a few pieces of writing paper in the hotel room, drew a large picture of the main road in the industrial park, and marked the location of the steel factory with a striking five-star sign.

Hou Ying was dumbfounded, and when Li Xuanyuan asked him if he was right, she closed her mouth and nodded, saying, "Xuanyuan, your hand is too good, right? Do you remember the satellite map of the whole of China, every street? "

Li Xuanyuan looked at you and other mortals, ignored his compliment very indifferently, and planned with Jiang Tao and Qiao Daye to get the car tomorrow.

They were divided on who would stay in the service area.

Hou Ying is definitely going to lead the way. Li Xuanyuan is a living map and is good at dismantling and reinstalling all kinds of equipment. He is good at both long-range and short-range attacks. The three sick women and children, Liu Zhan, Meng, Hang, Hai, Gong, and Sun Jing, were tacitly excluded from the options, so they had to leave one person here to defend.

In Jiang Tao's view, Qiao Dayo must be the best defensive candidate. He can see all directions and listen to all directions, and he is also a good sniper. He can eliminate hidden dangers before he is close, and his speed is fast enough to deal with various emergencies.

Qiao Daye disagreed, he insisted on letting Jiang Tao stay.

The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally Qiao Daye said: "I wanted to talk about this issue after discussing it, so let me talk about it now."

He cleared his throat, his hippie smile became serious, and he said in a steady voice: "Today, I saw zombies on the road that we hadn't seen before. There were smelling zombies—they smelled me wearing zombie clothes It’s just that this kind of zombie is not fast enough to deal with. In addition to the speed zombies we already know, there are also powerful zombies with great strength, and zombies with abilities that can breathe fire and water. I doubt that they can have abilities like us, and they also have the same ability. Evolving. As to how far they have evolved, I can't say."

Everyone's happy faces suddenly darkened.

Jiang Tao said angrily, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Qiao Daye knew that he had a lot of minefields, and he would explode if he stepped on them, so he didn't bother with him, but just replied: "In the past, the captain and deputy team were handling it, and none of you asked me, and I didn't even think about it." Hide such a big thing."

If this is the case, it is indeed more appropriate for Qiao Dayo to go on the mission.

The zombies don't have bombs in their hands, and the hotel is a solid building no matter what, even if they are surrounded, they can survive with their skills. If they have to face zombies with unknown abilities when they go out on a mission, they need people with five senses and speed abilities like Qiao Daye who can prevent unexpected situations more than the people left behind in the hotel.

Gongsun Jing said: "Why don't you all go. The door on my side is closed tightly, and if we lock ourselves in the room without making a sound, the zombies won't be able to find us."

Jiang Tao immediately shook his head, "No, you haven't practiced marksmanship well as a doctor, and you have a child, a patient who doesn't know if something will happen, what should you do if something happens?"

After thinking about it, he agreed to his plan to stay and let Hou Ying, Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye get the car.

After a few people discussed it, they took pains to put the car on the armored car back on the ground, and then moved the oil generator and most of the supplies on the car to the second floor. While working, Hou Ying felt that the future was bleak. He understood the reason for doing these jobs now. In case they encounter an accident outside, the materials brought in the car can be inherited by those left behind, including the car that I just pushed into the hotel lobby.

This night, Jiang Tao insisted that he and Gongsun Jing keep vigil so that those who will travel tomorrow can replenish their strength.

There was nothing to say all night, but the next day Hou Ying and the three were full of energy and set off at dawn.

Qiao Daye was driving, Li Xuanyuan stayed on top of the car, and Hou Ying was on the passenger seat, listening carefully, while beating her sore shoulders and limbs.

"Rheumatism?"

Qiao Daye watched it amusedly and said sarcastic remarks.

Hou Ying smiled good-naturedly and said, "Maybe it was because I lifted heavy objects before, but now my muscles are stretched and I feel sore."

"Oh, you have to be careful. You leaders who sit in the office must have never suffered like this. It's not a ligament strain or something. I'd better check with Gongsun later."

Qiao Daye's tone was not serious, but he did not hide his concern. Hou Ying agreed with a smile.

"Monkey, don't be polite to us. My family believes in Buddhism and pays attention to fate. You and that child are the first survivors we met. Isn't this called a fateful meeting? Look, I ran so far yesterday. Road, the zombies I saw were not 10,000, but there were 8,000, and I didn't even meet a living one who could talk... "

Qiao Daye's chattering nature was exposed when he got acquainted with people. Most of the way along the way, he was the one who talked and Hou Ying was listening. Li Xuanyuan made several moves on the road, and Qiao Daye who said this knocked the zombies away without blinking his eyes, and his tone did not change.

When he was about to arrive, he also said to Hou Ying: "If we can really tow the car back this time, you will help us a lot."

"Aren't you helping me too?"

Hou Ying said cryptically that as a businessman, he had a very clear account of the cooperation between the two parties, and he would never let his own share be lost if he could make a profit.

Qiao Daye laughed when he heard this, and said that he was straightforward, Li Xuanyuan snorted lightly, obviously looking down on Hou Ying's fussing.

When approaching the destination, Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan also had a disagreement about how to go next. Hou Ying thought that he was not Li Xuanyuan's opponent in the map memory. Hearing the other party's tone was determined, she took a step back and let Qiao Daye go to Li Xuanyuan. Turned in on the indicated small lane, and the armored vehicle turned another corner, and it arrived at the back door of the steel factory.

Hou Ying was impressed again.

The direction he remembered was the main entrance. It faces the main road of the car dealership, and there are many zombies to face. He also thought about entering the steel factory through the back door, but after all, it was not his own compound, so he didn't know how to go. But Li Xuanyuan, who had never been here before, was able to find the direction accurately.

Hou Ying couldn't help sighing, the person being praised still ignored him, Qiao Daye laughed and said: "Xuanyuan has studied architecture before, and the orientation of a factory like this is the most basic, so it won't trouble him."

Hou Ying let out a groan, thinking a little bit about Li Xuanyuan's year of Guigeng.

This steel plant has national components in it, and it is very large. In order to facilitate the passage of container vehicles, not only the passages in the workshop are spacious, but also the workshops extend in all directions. Most of the machines in the factory run 24 hours a day. In order to prevent accidents and monitor the production situation at any time, the doors of the factory buildings are kept open, which saves them a lot of trouble.

The sound of the armored vehicle passing by attracted the zombies of the workers in the factory. Seeing that more and more zombies were following, Li Xuanyuan said in Bluetooth: "Catch the turtle in the urn."

"good idea!"

Qiao Dayo immediately understood.

Hou Ying also quickly understood his plan - using the sound of cars as a bait to drive the zombies into one place and lock them up.

There are only three of them now. Facing at least one or two hundred worker zombies, it is best not to confront them head-on. Therefore, they actively came up with ideas, and selected two warehouses with three solid walls and one electric door for them, and roughly pointed them in the direction.

Qiao Daye deliberately drove around the factory to attract the wandering zombies in the factory. He also inspected the two warehouses suggested by Hou Ying, and chose the one with a more remote location.

When the number of new zombies became less and less, after Qiao Daye drove them into the warehouse, he took out a roll of firecrackers from nowhere and lit them and threw them into the factory building. He exploded them randomly, and drove out of the warehouse while confusing the zombies. Li Xuanyuan shot at the fish that escaped after him, and said: "This zehujin matches you very well."

I don't know when Qiao Daye noticed that there were firecrackers in the service area, so remember to bring them with you before you come. Qiao Dayequan took it as a compliment, and smiled while driving: "This sounds like a deputy team..."

As he spoke, his smile faded, and Li Xuanyuan didn't say a word when he heard it.

Hou Ying more or less guessed their sadness, changed the subject and said: "There are almost three or four hundred zombies in this warehouse, let's find some paint and write some warnings on the door." A blind person opened the door and was eaten by hundreds of hungry zombies... The thought of that scene makes my teeth ache.

Qiao Daye shuddered, and felt that it was very necessary to do so. So the three of them spent a little more time, and after they found paint in the factory and painted it with the warning words [There are zombies inside, do not enter], they were a little relieved. Qiao Daye admired the finished product for a moment, then suddenly stroked his chin and said, "Don't you think that seeing this sentence makes you want to enter more?"

Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan reached a consensus for the first time since they met - they rolled their eyes at the silly and happy Qiao Daye.
