Chapter 36
A rumbling sound rang out in the sky, and weapons were thrown from the air into the zombie group. All the weapons thrown down could blow up a group of zombies. After a round of bombing targeting key areas, teams of vehicles carrying armed soldiers attacked the zombies from all directions.
Many heavy weapons that would not appear in peacetime were aimed at the zombie group at this time to ensure the safety of the people. The zombies who were not afraid of pain could not resist such powerful weapons. All the zombies who rushed to the road to attack eventually fell under the fierce firepower.
The clearing team set out from the edge of the divided base to the surrounding areas. The large force cleared the zombies on the main road. In the area that was cleared later, there was a team carrying guns, entering the high-rise buildings near the road for rescue and registration.
Those who were trapped at home and dared not go out saw the rescue team sent by the country from the window, and their excitement was simply beyond words. When the rescue soldiers came to the door and helped kill the zombies that kept hitting outside the door, they were even more moved.
The state machinery showed its powerful strength, successfully crushing these zombies that had not yet evolved special abilities, and built a protective border around the perimeter of the divided base to prevent the zombies from entering from the outside again.
The densely packed zombies dragged their bodies that were rotten and even grew maggots, and roared with desire from the depths of their throats. They closely formed a huge team and wanted to attack the defense line constructed by the army.
All zombies who wanted to rush in had to face the attack of artillery fire, but these zombies were not afraid of pain and could use their own bodies as shields. Even the well-trained army had sacrificed in the process of confrontation between the two sides. The government had no choice but to arrange personnel to build a tall wall to resist the zombies at the fastest speed.
Before the wall was built, they had to draw out extra manpower to go there, including the trapped people and researchers who might be helpful in solving the zombie problem, especially the origin of the zombies, the zombies' weaknesses, and the crystal cores found in the zombies' heads. A large number of relevant people were needed to conduct research.
Some places that are too remote and where almost no one survived have to be put at the back of the rescue list. This is a choice made out of helplessness. They can only pass on the places where the army passes every day, and this kind of information that may be helpful is transmitted through the radio.
The main reason why the mobile phone has no signal is that the base station has been damaged, but the radio will not be affected by these.
Wen Zheng and others did not know that they would be put at the back of the rescue, which was actually equivalent to being abandoned, but even if they knew it, they would not feel bad, because they had expected this when they chose to stay.
But they always want to know the situation outside, so the repair of the radio has attracted everyone's attention.
Grandpa Bai Shu took back the radio covered with dust, cleaned the dust on the outside, and found a suitable battery to install it, but there was no sound, so he thought about repairing it himself.
"How is it, is it fixed?"
"No one has listened to the radio in recent years, and I have forgotten that Bai Shuhui knows these things."
"Don't disturb him, let him fix it slowly. Lao Bai never brags, he will definitely fix it if he says it can be fixed."
Hearing the crackling sound of the radio being repaired, the old man waiting next to him immediately asked questions in a flurry, but after a few words, the radio still crackled from time to time, and no specific human voice could be heard.
While they were talking, Yueyue, who was the most curious, was still sitting obediently near the iron gate. She opened her eyes and lowered her head, opened her little hand with some confusion, and looked carefully at the crystal core in her palm.
Yueyue closed her eyes and felt it again carefully. This time, she couldn't help but get excited and jumped up from her small stool immediately: "Brother Xiaozheng, grandma, I seem to feel something drilling into my palm, it's cool."
"Really? I knew my Yueyue was a genius." Grandma Wang Shuying was immediately delighted and asked Yueyue to try again. She ran to another passage and called Wen Zheng down.
This time, Grandpa Baishu was no longer in the spotlight. The new focus was on the little girl Yueyue. However, he didn't care about these things at his age. Instead, he put down his work and followed the older brothers to watch.
When Yueyue tried to absorb the crystal core again, Wen Zheng held Yueyue's hand and quietly sensed the flow of energy. Finally, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he nodded and smiled: "It was indeed successful."
The air-raid shelter immediately rang with warm applause from everyone, and praises came out one after another from different people's mouths, praising Yueyue so much that she couldn't help but smile brightly, and her whole little face was flushed.
Grandma Shuying and Grandma Chunxi both started discussing what to cook to celebrate, until Wen Zheng's voice, like the strictest teacher, rang out: "Since Yueyue has succeeded, all grandparents should work harder. Yueyue and I want to hear the good news of your success."
"Grandma and grandpas, come on!" Yueyue also echoed the encouragement.
The sound of one person sighing is not obvious, but the five elderly people sighed together, and the overlapping sound was particularly clear in the air-raid shelter. Under Wen Zheng's disapproving gaze, several grandparents who had finally memorized the cultivation method immediately went to pick up the crystal core to find the feeling.
Grandpa Baishu, the only one who had important work, did not dare to stand out too much. He quietly sat back at his maintenance post, holding the radio and continued to think about it.
After holding the crystal core for a long time, none of the grandparents felt the flow of energy, and their thoughts ran further and further away. From the modifications in the air-raid shelter to the preparation of traps, to the fact that they are unlikely to have special powers at such an old age, their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of "squeaking... squeaking..." that sounded again.
When will Lao Bai repair the radio?
"...There is...save...stab..."
This time it was a different voice.
Um? If you heard it right, there was someone talking from the radio just now. Baizhu really repaired the radio.
Grandpa Bai, who finally fiddled with the radio, kept adjusting the radio's reception frequency. After changing several channels back and forth, clear sound finally came out from it.
"...Unit 605, Building 3, Xingfu Community. I am the only one left in my house. My parents have turned into zombies...I am locked in the room. The food in the house has been eaten. There are zombies outside. I I don’t know how long I can hold on... If I could go back to the day before the end of the world, I would never quarrel with my parents again..."
After those last words, the boy's suppressed crying came from the radio, which made people feel particularly sad. I can only pray that someone close to that community will receive the signal and help this child.
The channels with sound that were replaced after that were basically the survivors asking for help. The more they listened, the heavier they felt. They had cleared away the zombies at the beginning. Later, Wen Zheng even evolved superpowers, which he had never encountered before. Danger.
After a few more adjustments, the sound of a news broadcast from a local TV station appeared. Everyone carefully identified the content, and then discovered that it was really a notice from the official channel.
When they adjusted to the channel, they were halfway through the broadcast, but after all the broadcasts were completed, they switched to another host's voice and repeated the content of the announcement. Several hosts rotate to ensure that everyone who listens to this channel can hear the complete content.
"Dingjiang City has dispatched troops to clean up zombies. Two bases are now being established in the Southwest District and Northeast District. Fences are being built. Zombies in the surrounding areas will be cleared out at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. every day. People who are able can do so during this time. Enter the base within.
window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });
In addition, multiple rescue troops were sent from the base to search for survivors. The first team set off from the southwest district, passing through the radio channel..., and the tenth team set out from the northeast district, passing through the radio channel..., located in front of the rescue team Survivors on the journey please wait patiently for military rescue.
At present, the base has discovered that some zombie brains contain transparent crystals that contain energy, but experts from the research team are currently unable to determine whether the crystal nuclei contain zombie viruses and how their energy is used. After survivors kill zombies, if they find crystal nuclei, please collect them carefully and do not test them randomly.
Base research has found that among people who are injured by zombie attacks, almost all of the injured will transform into zombies, but there are still a very small number of miracles that survive and have supernatural powers. If someone around you is injured by a zombie attack, please control the injured person's actions and wait for the final result before taking different treatment methods.
The probability of acquiring superpowers after being bitten by a zombie is extremely low. Please do not intentionally injure yourself in order to obtain superpowers. Only by ensuring the safety of your life will you have more possibilities in the future.
In the face of sudden disasters, we need to work together to tide over the difficulties. The country will never give up on any citizen. Please don't give up easily! "
The notice released on the official channel contained too much information. Several old people kept changing their expressions according to the content, and they were still looking back and forth at Wen Zheng and Yueyue.
They heard in the notification that people bitten by zombies would have a chance to activate supernatural powers, so they couldn't help but guess whether Wen Zheng was really injured when they didn't notice it. The so-called cultivation method was just used by Wen Zheng to comfort them. Rhetoric.
This makes sense, but Yueyue felt the energy according to Wen Zheng's method. If it were true, wouldn't Wen Zheng be more powerful than those research experts if he could come up with a cultivation method that can stimulate supernatural powers?
I always feel that the first possibility is unlikely.
Wen Zheng couldn't ignore the suspicious looks that the old people cast on him. Even if he said that he had obtained the cultivation method from another world, these grandparents would not believe it. He might as well admit that he was a genius. It took a lot of mistakes to successfully develop it.
Facing the expressions of the old people saying "You're right, you're right", Wen Zheng, who had become a lot more irritable after activating his fire power, said with a straight face: "Whether you believe it or not, this cultivation method must be practiced."
"Xiao Zheng, don't be angry. We didn't say we won't practice. It's not time to cook. Let's continue practicing after eating." Anyway, just think hard with the crystal core, and there is no harm in practicing.
Peace has temporarily returned to the air-raid shelter. Whether those who are cooking or waiting to eat, they are still thinking about the content released on the official channel.
The government's rescue speed and research speed have exceeded their expectations. It has only been a short time since the end of the world, but the base is already under construction, and a lot of things have been researched and released to everyone.
In terms of superpowers, Wen Zheng is mainly responsible for supervising their practice. They will not be stupid enough to deliberately find zombies to bite them. What concerned the elderly was the base under construction and the tenth rescue team passing by not far from the community on the road.
The life of the seven of them here is indeed very good, and there will be no danger if Wen Zheng is here, but there are only seven of them here. After all, human beings are social animals. It's okay for them and the old people to stay here. They are used to loneliness. But what should the young man Wen Zheng and the child Yueyue do? They are afraid that they will have some psychological problems if they get too anxious in the end.
In the past, he didn't dare to go out because he was afraid of danger on the road. Now that Wen Zheng has fire powers, as long as he catches up with the rescue team sent by the base and has an army to escort them to the base, there will be no danger. Several elderly people, especially Grandpa Li and Grandpa Liu who are soldiers, have absolute trust in the army.
After eating, several people discussed the issue of going to the base, and everyone had no objection to this decision.
Grandpa Li took out paper and pen and once again demonstrated his hand-drawing map skills, drawing the route of the tenth rescue team. One of the sections was half an hour away from the community.
After explaining the action route of each rescue team, the official channel also provides the channels of different rescue teams. It is adjusted to the channel of the tenth team. Someone in it informs the team of its current location and the approximate time it will arrive on the first day. area to allow survivors who can hear it to determine when to rendezvous with the rescue team.
The tenth rescue team set out from the Northeast District two days ago and has already left the road closest to them. If they want to join the army, they must wait until the rescue team returns, about two days later.
"We can't ride electric cars or bicycles during this half-hour journey. Tomorrow we'll check if there's still gas in the car in the community. Then we'll drive that car. If it doesn't work, I'll go out and look for gas. There is no suitable vehicle." Wen Zheng added that although the vehicle did not have enough fuel, it was enough for half an hour's journey.
From the first day, they prepare to leave with everything they need, packing as much as possible into the trunk of the car. More supplies that cannot be taken away are still stored in the air-raid shelters. Who knows when there will be a chance to come back and take these supplies away.
The old people stayed in the community to rest. Wen Zheng thought about it and decided to explore the road first. If there were any obstacles blocking the road or there were too many zombies, clearing them in advance would not delay the time on the road.
Wen Zheng was the one who was brave enough to be an expert. He brought together the equipment for collecting crystal cores and set off towards the goal on his bicycle again.
The same outfit appeared in the eyes of Brother Yang's group of men. The younger brothers who were always observing the situation outside immediately identified themselves. After all, they had really only seen this person like Wen Zheng who dared to ride a bicycle on the road. .
"Did you really see him again?" After receiving the news, Brother Yang's eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately ordered the younger brothers, "Everyone was lying in ambush on both sides of the road where he appeared. Maybe he heard the vehicle start up here. There is a sound, this time you all take telescopes and look away. If you can't find his lair, you don't have to come back."
They have collected a lot of crystal nuclei in recent days, but apart from eating them, they have really tried every method. However, the crystal core is extremely hard, and there is no change even if it is burned or hit with a stone.
Without receiving the radio from the official base, Brother Yang could only use the crystal core to obtain superpowers, but his attempts for many days failed. Brother Yang was a little embarrassed in front of his subordinates. He had accumulated a lot of anger in his heart. Now he was all directed at Wen Zheng. He was just waiting to force Wen Zheng out of his mouth to use the crystal core. After he got the superpower, Wen Zheng will be dealt with immediately.
There was a supernatural power in front of them as a temptation, and the younger brothers who also wanted to obtain the supernatural power performed exceptionally. Not only did they not attract Wen Zheng's attention, they followed him to the community. Seeing that there were no zombies in this community, and that Wen Zheng did not come out after entering, the younger brothers immediately determined the location, sent people back to inform the boss, and stayed nearby to monitor.
The old people who planned to go to the army were packing their things, moving the supplies they wanted to take away through the entrances and exits hidden in the house, and then moving them to the vehicles parked outside the house. All this was done with the help of a few pairs of eyes wearing hope glasses. see.
"Brother Yang, except for the superpower, they are all old people and children. The trouble is that they have never been separated. I also saw them packing their things in the car, as if they were preparing to leave tomorrow." Waiting for Brother Yang to arrive. Finally, the younger brother quickly reported what he observed.
"Leave tomorrow? It's probably the road that the superpower explored. An army just passed there a few days ago. Brother Yang, should we launch a surprise attack tonight, or wait until tomorrow to ambush on the road during the day?" the leader of the team asked. .
Brother Yang looked up at the sky. The sky was covered with clouds. Even during the day, it looked extremely dark, but it didn't look like it was going to rain. If it's still cloudy like this at night, it's easy for them to use a flashlight to alert others.
"Let's move during the day tomorrow. Let's go. We can make arrangements tonight."
Wen Zheng and others did not know the danger was coming, so they spent what they thought was their last night in the air-raid shelter, feeling a little reluctant. It was not until late at night that several old people fell asleep in a daze, and woke up before dawn.
After a simple breakfast, several people estimated that the time was about right and prepared to set off. After several attempts, they started the car and left this familiar place.
The zombies around this road had been dealt with by Wen Zheng, but Brother Yang and others who were ambushing on the roadside at night estimated that they would attract a few zombies before dawn. Grandpa Li, who was driving, remained calm. These zombies would not cause any impact, so he planned to hit them directly.
But before the car hit the zombies, the tire of the car pierced the long nails deliberately thrown on the road. The tire burst, and the vehicle instantly became unobservable. Grandpa Li remained calm in the face of danger, stepped on the brakes in time, and stopped the vehicle on the roadside after several bumps.
At this time, Brother Yang and others who had been waiting and ambushing on the roadside for a long time launched an attack on them.
