Chapter 1587 Escape to the Northwest
The fixed sentry post of more than ten meters is all built with containers, and the foundation and joints are reinforced with cement.
After entering the sentry post, it is obvious that the temperature inside is higher than outside.
All the containers are used here. Under the sun, the iron sheet becomes stuffy and hot inside.
"It's very hot in here. Can the workers sleep well at night?" Li Yu asked Jian Ming beside him.
Jian Ming quickly replied: "We basically work outside during the day. It will be much cooler after the sun goes down, and everyone can rest well."
"Yeah." Li Yu nodded and walked to the window on the side.
In addition to an open double-layer glass window, there is also a layer of movable iron sheet inside, and a row of thick iron railings on the outermost layer.
For ventilation during the day, the window is opened and the wind blows in from the iron railings.
Tap tap tap——
Li Yu walked on the iron plate of the container, making clear footsteps.
There are more than ten containers in total, connected up and down by steps made of iron frames.
There are six or seven huge compartments, each containing a bunk bed.
There is also a huge water tank in the corner.
It is noon now, and the container is a bit stuffy. Li Yu sweated on his forehead in just a few minutes.
After all, this place is a distance away from the camphor tree base, and the electricity problem is a bit scarce.
Electricity is basically dependent on the transport team, which brings fully charged batteries from the base.
It is not suitable to install solar panels. At night, climbing zombies will climb to the top of the container. If solar panels are installed on the top, climbing zombies will destroy it.
Li Yu climbed to the top of the container. The open-pit mine not far away was in full view.
Dozens of electric trucks were queuing up to load coal.
The loader can fill the bucket of an electric truck with a load capacity of 20 tons with seven or eight buckets.
If the giant loader comes, it is estimated that one bucket can be filled.
The Doomsday Giant has been parked there since it was sent to the Oil City last time.
The trading market has a large population, and the number of zombies around is also large, so the threat of zombies is greater, so the doomsday giant was left in the trading market.
After coming down from the sentry tower in the center of the container, Li Yu walked to the edge of the mine.
A huge open-pit mine, the sun is scorching, the coal in the mine is burning, and the temperature below is even hotter.
After a round of inspection, he encouraged Jian Ming and returned to the Unimog.
"Let's go to the other sentinels." Li Yu said to Li Gang in front of him while sitting on the sofa.
"Okay."
Li Gang picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the combat personnel on the sidecar motorcycle, started the vehicle and turned around to leave here.
ZY City.
It is known as the Jiangnan on the Great Wall.
There are Qilian Mountain water source conservation area, Heihe Oasis, and desert Gobi. These landforms complement each other, forming an environment that is different from the traditional Jiangnan but has similar beautiful scenery.
A modified off-road vehicle came down from the G30 Expressway.
After getting used to seeing all kinds of desolate and desolate scenery along the way, the greenery in front of them brightened up Heishou and his partner after they entered ZY City.
"There is not much water in the water tank in the car. Let's find a place to add water." Zheng Shiwu, who was driving the car, said to Heishou next to him.
Heishou flipped through the map and said:
"There is a Runhu Park in the suburbs of the north. There is a lake in it where you can add water. You go straight along National Highway 227."
Listening to Heishou's words, Zheng Shiwu slowed down the car and looked at the landmarks on the roadside to confirm the location.
After the end of the world, the satellite system could not be used, and they could not be sure where they were.
Many landmark signs on the ground were also blown down by strong winds and heavy rains, so from time to time they had to get off the car, look for landmark signs, remove the dirt on them, and see the text on the landmarks to determine the route.
There were no human traces on both sides of the street, but when they turned from National Highway 227, Zheng Shiwu keenly discovered that there were no scrapped vehicles on the ground here, and there were traces of vehicles driving on the road.
"There are people here, watch out for the surroundings." Zheng Shiwu frowned and reminded Heishou.
They have already arrived in the northwest. Although they have not yet arrived in Jiayu City, the bosses in Zhangye have also sent people to guard here.
Heishou asked in confusion:
"According to the information given by the Oil City, aren't the forces stationed in Zhangye from the northwest in the south? How could they run to the north?"
"I don't know, it's better to be careful." Zheng Shiwu slowed down the car again and observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision.
At this time.
Three pickup trucks suddenly drove towards the front.
There are people!
Zheng Shiwu turned around quickly, he didn't want to run into these people.
Boom boom boom!
He made a big turn and drove towards National Highway 227.
Beep——
A pickup truck behind honked its horn, and the whole street was filled with the sound of the horn.
Zheng Shiwu couldn't help but curse; "Aren't you afraid of attracting zombies? Damn idiot!"
He suddenly accelerated and rushed to the north.
As expected, with the horn honking, dozens of ordinary zombies walked out from the darkness of the building, and more and more came out.
Boom, boom, boom!
The SUV hit a few ordinary zombies, slowing them down a bit.
But the pickup trucks behind were in more trouble. They were blocked by the zombies and it seemed that they would not be able to catch up for a while.
On the pickup truck.
"What are you doing? Why are you honking? You've attracted the zombies!" A man sitting in the passenger seat looked at the zombies in front of him and cursed with a gloomy face.
The man driving the vehicle shrank his head and said awkwardly:
"I pressed the wrong horn. I really didn't mean to do it."
The man in the passenger seat did not continue to pursue the responsibility, but quickly picked up the intercom:
"The third team found a strange vehicle in the south of Runhu Park. We are trapped by zombies and cannot chase. Please ask the second team to block the strange vehicle at the intersection of National Highway 227 and Kangle Road!"
Dongdong!
Ordinary zombies staggered and walked to the front and sides of the pickup truck.
Dadadadada——
In order to protect their own safety, the people sitting in the truck bed had to shoot and kill these zombies.
Because it was daytime and it hadn't rained for so long, the movement speed of these ordinary zombies became extremely slow.
There was a sound of gunfire, and zombies fell to the ground.
In front.
After hearing the gunshots, Hei Shou and Zheng Shiwu looked at each other in the rearview mirror.
Boom boom boom --
When they were about to reach the intersection of National Highway 227 and Kangle Road, an armored vehicle and two pickup trucks suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Fuck!" Zheng Shiwu saw the armored vehicle in front of him and hurried to the alley next to him.
Zhang Ming, the captain of the second team, saw that the off-road vehicle went into the alley in the north and quickly arranged.
"Lao Yao, I'll go from the east, you chase from behind, we'll outflank!"
"Okay."
The alley Zheng Shiwu went into was very small. This kind of alley was not suitable for driving, but only for pedestrians.
Bang!
The iron gate in front was directly knocked open by them.
"No, they are still chasing!"
Black Hand saw the two pickup trucks behind and quickly reminded Zheng Shiwu.
Zheng Shiwu had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the vehicle shuttled through the alley at a very fast speed.
He was very clear about the power of the armored vehicle. The armor could not break the defense with the weapons in their hands.
It would be a death wish to meet a head-on confrontation, so they could only run away.
He didn't expect that he would be so lucky to meet someone from the northwest right after arriving in Zhangye.
Clack, clack!
The vehicle shook violently, and Heishu held the handrail tightly.
Whoosh!
They rushed from the alley to the main road.
This main road was the way out of the city. As long as they were out of the city, it would be easier to shake off the pursuers behind them.
They crossed the main road and drove north.
At this time, Heishu suddenly saw an armored vehicle coming from the right.
It was the one that had just been squatting behind them.
"It's really haunting! Be careful!" Heishu shouted.
Zheng Shiwu glanced at the armored vehicle on the right and accelerated quickly.
Da da da da!
The armored vehicle fired bullets and almost hit the off-road vehicle.
Chase!
But because the off-road vehicle was too fast, they couldn't catch up at all.
The armored vehicle was limited by its size and had a limited top speed.
Whoosh!
The two pickup trucks behind rushed out of the alley and followed behind Black Hand and his team.
Bang, bang, bang!
There was a man in the pickup truck bed, shooting at the SUV.
Ding, ding, dang, dang——
There was an iron plate installed on the back of the SUV, which made a banging sound when it was hit.
The other armored vehicle followed closely behind.
Black Hand was very angry because he was always attacked without fighting back.
He turned sideways and found two grenades in the ammunition box behind him, looking at the two cars chasing behind.
It takes five seconds for the grenade to explode from unscrewing. The speed of the car behind was about 70 to 80 kilometers per hour. It was about 50 meters from their position to the two pickup trucks behind.
According to calculations, the grenade would explode within three seconds after being thrown down.
After observing clearly, Black Hand opened the door. The iron railings on the outside of this door were welded, so it could not be thrown out through the window.
After opening the door, he bit the fuse with his teeth, counted two seconds in his mind, and threw it down instantly.
Close the door and turn your head to look back.
One.
Two.
Three.
Three seconds passed very quickly, and the people in the pickup truck behind had no time to react.
A pickup truck drove past, boom! Boom!
The front of the pickup truck was blown over, and even the front of the truck was suspended in the air, the body of the truck shifted, and overturned.
One grenade could not blow over a pickup truck, but two grenades exploded at the same time, the effect was still very strong.
Bang!
The pickup truck behind was not spared either. It was hit by the aftermath of the grenade, twisted and hit the building next to it, and broke down and stalled.
Click!
A man got down from the driver's seat of the pickup truck and ran quickly towards the overturned pickup truck in front.
"Brother Yao!" He squatted down and looked into the car.
Old Yao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was pierced in the chest by the glass, and spit out blood.
They quickly rescued the people in the car.
On the other side.
The off-road vehicle continued to drive at the original speed.
"Chase! Damn it, I told you to chase!" Black Hand retracted his gaze with satisfaction.
It was not his style to attack passively without counterattack.
The people on the armored vehicle who arrived late saw the bloody Lao Yao, and the captain of the second team looked at the off-road vehicle at the end of the road with hatred.
Damn it!
Due to the huge explosion and the stimulation of blood, the zombies in the surrounding buildings came out one after another.
Besides being blocked by two pickup trucks, the armored vehicle had to stop and block the zombies to cover Lao Yao and his team's retreat.
"Captain Feng, how are you doing? Where are you now?" The voice of the captain of the third team sounded on the intercom.
Feng Ming's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "They got lost and ran to the north. I will report to the squadron leader and send more people to chase them!"
The captain of the third team heard that Feng Ming seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked in confusion:
"Just heard the explosion, didn't you use artillery shells? Why haven't you caught them yet?"
After hearing this, Feng Ming said angrily:
"Damn it, why are you so slow! Run away!"
After leaving the suburbs of ZY, they continued to drive north.
Although they escaped the pursuit temporarily, they were not completely safe at the moment.
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and the shelter for tonight had not been found.
Entering the northwest, more and more obstacles were encountered.
Armored vehicles like that are simply something that only regular troops have.
Besides, ordinary people would never waste bullets like this.
They gradually realized that the mission assigned to them by the Oil City was not easy.
"What should we do next? Have you decided where to go?" Black Hand asked Zheng Shiwu.
Zheng Shiwu replied unhappily:
"You hold the map and ask me. I'm driving. Anyway, we can't take G30 anymore. Let's go through Zhangye from the north."
"Where should we rest tonight?" Black Hand asked back.
"You can see for yourself. I can't look at the map while driving."
"Okay."
Black Hand spread out the map and said after studying it for a few minutes:
"Take Provincial Highway 301 from the north. There is a river there. We can also add water along the way. Let's go to Banqiao Town to rest for a night."
Banqiao Town is located in Linze County. Compared with most of Gansu Province, this place is relatively green.
Black Hand looked at the road while comparing their location with the terrain on the map.
Buildings will collapse in the end of the world, but mountains and rivers will not change.
The sun sets, and the skyline is getting darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They drove along Provincial Highway 301.
"Let's do it. This place is closest to the river. Let's add some water first." Heishou said hurriedly.
Zheng Shiwu did not stop stepping on the accelerator. "No, it's getting dark. Banqiao Town is ahead. We don't have enough time now. We must hurry over."
"Okay."
The vehicle sped and finally arrived at Banqiao Town before dark.
They drove on the deserted streets of Banqiao Town. After a few minutes, they found a house with a yard.
Although this yard is made of rammed earth, the rammed earth made in the early years was extremely stable and still stands now.
The iron gate of the yard was open, and there was a three-story building inside.
The second and third floors were surrounded by iron railings, and there were aluminum alloy windows inside.
The glass had long been broken, and the iron railings were rusty.
Creak!
Zheng Shiwu parked the car in the yard, got out of the car, turned his head and went over to close the iron gate.
