poor road [end times]

The person in charge of the safety zone in the neighboring city once mentioned that they sought help from people in other bases through some channels, and also reported the collapse of the building to the provincial base in time.

Therefore, the moment Yang Yiqin recognized Qian Guowei, he guessed the purpose of the other party's coming here.

Even so, he still looked carefully for a while, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party—mainly because the other party came too suddenly, which made people feel unprepared.

Feng Lin also obviously recognized Qian Guowei, he drove the helicopter, slowly landed in front of Yang Yiqin's car, and then jumped off the helicopter.

Yang Yiqin also opened the car door and got out of the private car.

The two stood side by side, looking at the blue sky.

Father Yang in the car rolled down the window in doubt: "What's wrong with you? Do you know people from Wuzhi?"

Yang Yiqin leaned over and explained: "The people here are from the Beishi Survivor Base."

"Beishi Base?" Father Yang also got out of the car, "Are you here to help?"

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Should."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the two Wuzhi, waved to each other, and signaled where the helicopter should land.

They are all outside the iron fence wall of the safe area. Qian Guowei and his party are newcomers, so they must communicate with them for a while, and they must not stand outside blankly.Otherwise, I am afraid that the conversation will get serious, ignore the potential dangers around me, and be attacked by zombies coming out of nowhere.

According to Yang Yiqin's instructions, Qian Guowei parked Wuzhi on an acre of wasteland.

Yang Yiqin and others also drove all the vehicles into a safe range, and did not forget to lock the iron door leading to the outside, so as to prevent all tragedies that occurred because they forgot to close the door casually.

Qian Guowei and others jumped off the helicopter.

One of the drivers was Zhou Botao, and Li Jiang was among the casual people—all old acquaintances.

Yang Yiqin glanced around and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Feng Lin also nodded: "Long time no see."

Qian Guowei looked at the two of them carefully.

It's just been a few months since they met each other. Like most people who are struggling to survive in the last days, these two people have a little more staunch and bloody body, and their physical fitness is also stronger than before.But on the contrary, I don't know if it was his illusion, but there was no depression or pain in their eyes, and they seemed to be more indescribably peaceful than before.

"Not bad, not bad!" Qian Guoweilang said with a smile, "You seem to be doing well, so I can rest assured. Long time no see."

Zhou Botao and others also said, "Long time no see."

Later, Yang Yiqin introduced them to each other.

Father Yang held Qian Guowei's hand: "Captain Qian, Qinqin and Xiaofeng were taken care of by you before."

Qian Guowei smiled kindly: "No, you are too polite, in fact, we have been taken care of by the two of them."

Everyone knows that we are now in a critical moment, so there are not too many pleasantries. After knowing the names and identities of both parties, we cut to the point.

Yang Yiqin asked, "Is Captain Qian here because of the collapse of buildings in the neighboring city?"

"All of them." Qian Guowei's expression became serious, "Let's settle the matter at hand first, and then let's sit down and have a serious chat. I saw that you were blocking the bridge just now. Are you not done yet?"

Yang Yiqin nodded: "We still have to block three stone arch bridges."

Qian Guowei raised his cuffs.

"We're here to help too."

With their help, the operation of blocking the bridge was completed in only half an hour.

Afterwards, the village head invited Qian Guowei and others to his house for a detailed chat. In order to facilitate the frequent meetings and discussions of several people, he specially changed the main house of his house into a room with both hospitality and meeting functions.

The two Wuzhi also landed directly on the roof of the village chief's house.

The busy villagers in the village saw two more helicopters coming, and raised their heads one after another, chasing the helicopters in the sky with curious eyes.Father Yang walked over and told the villagers that people from the Beishi base had come.

Mother Yang hurriedly asked: "People from Beishi? Someone that Qinqin and Xiaofeng know?"

"That's right, it's their acquaintances who came here." Father Yang instructed, "Lao Zhang and Liu will go to the meeting with me, and you ask the villagers to deal with the remaining obstacles that block the bridge first. If we know the new The news will definitely be passed on to everyone immediately."

"Okay, you can go." Mother Yang promised, "Leave the aftermath to me."

When Father Yang hurriedly felt the village chief's house, the village chief was about to make tea for everyone.

Qian Guowei quickly stopped him: "No tea, we don't drink tea from the masses, we brought our own mineral water."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiang took off his thick backpack and took out a few bottles of mineral water to pass to everyone present.Qian Guowei took the mineral water, but the village chief refused to do what he said, he must brew the tea in his hand.

"What's wrong with the tea?" The village chief pretended to be angry, "The food in our family is still the life-saving food brought from the country's granary. Now we just make a tea, and we must drink it ourselves."

Qian Guowei shook his head: "If it was before the apocalypse, it wouldn't be a big deal to come to a fellow villager's house to drink tea, but now it's after the apocalypse... Tea is very expensive, just like drinks and candies, and it will definitely not be able to be reproduced in a short time , It’s totally eating a little less.”

Yang Yiqin stepped forward, pressed Qian Guowei's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Captain Qian, our time is more precious, so we can't waste it on this kind of rejection."

Feng Lin added: "Zombies mutate, buildings collapse... We have too many things to communicate."

Hearing this, Qian Guowei immediately hesitated.

The village took the opportunity to pinch a handful of tea leaves and stuff them into the teapot. The steam from the spout rose with the fragrance of the tea.

Uncle Zhang smiled: "The dried tea leaves are brewed into hot tea, and there is nothing left to do."

Qian Guowei shook his head helplessly, and returned the mineral water in his hand to Li Jiang beside him.

"Then drink."

With a smirk on his face, Li Jiang stuffed the mineral water back into his backpack.

Zhou Botao and the others also laughed in good faith.

The village head poured good tea, and Father Yang, who was late, also sat on the seat, and everyone began to exchange and communicate.

Yang Yiqin was the first to ask: "Captain Qian didn't deny what I said just now, it seems that he did know about the collapse of the building?"

"That's right." Qian Guowei nodded and said, "Not only that, I also know about the vines."

They only talked about the vines last night, and told Han Wenliang the news, and then Qian Guowei found out about it—this shows that the communication between the Beishi base, the provincial base, and the local safety zone is smoother than before. many.

Yang Yiqin asked: "How long did it take you to come here?"

Qian Guowei calculated the time in his mind, and replied: "We only got your approximate location, and the navigation is not available now, so it took about two hours to reach the provincial base. Later, we went to Xinzhong City Security District, after confirming the location of your village with Xiao Han, we set off here again."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Faster than me and Feng Lin."

This was expected. The performance of armed helicopters far surpassed that of commercial helicopters, and the spring was sunny and sunny, and the weather conditions were much better than they were then.

"We were afraid of being too slow." Qian Guowei explained, "After all, we came here to be a striker and find out the situation here. If we really want to solve so many troubles, we must have another group of talents."

Feng Lin asked: "To solve the trouble, do you mean zombies or vines?"

Qian Guowei's tone was firm.

"It's all resolved."

Everyone present looked at each other with surprise and surprise in their eyes.

Father Yang hurriedly asked, "Do the scientists have a solution?"

"Not yet." Without waiting for everyone to be disappointed, Qian Guowei went on to explain, "Currently, researchers are working day and night, but the results of the experiment cannot be obtained in a day or two. We came here this time mainly to cure A cure for the 'standard'."

The village chief wondered: "Treat the 'standard'?"

"Leave the collapsed buildings aside in advance. We will take samples of vines and collapsed brick walls here." Qian Guowei continued, "Our purpose this time is to observe the movement of zombies in the neighboring city. Get rid of them asap."

The vines and brick wall samples were collected because local building standards vary from region to region, and plant growth varies from climate to climate.

Since I came here, it is natural to collect enough data to ensure that the experimental conclusions are relatively objective.

"How to deal with it?"

"Bombers, fire coverage."

"..."

Yang Yiqin chuckled: "This is indeed a 'symptom'."

Qian Guowei looked serious: "People in the neighboring city sent messages for help. They have been attacked by small waves of zombies one after another. Later, you also heard the bad news of the fusion of zombies. General Zheng thinks that we can't wait any longer. "

"Wait?" Father Yang grasped the point, "What are you waiting for? The lab has a way to deal with the fusion of zombies?"

"It's okay to reveal a little bit to you." Qian Guowei said, "You are often in contact with Xiao Han, and you should also know that the laboratory conducts experiments on zombies—that is, injecting virus serum into zombies, and they will die."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "We do know."

Qian Guowei went on to say: "Later, Academician Chen conducted countless experiments, and they found that if the serum only touches the skin of the zombie, it will not have any effect, but if it touches an exposed wound, there is a chance that the zombie will die for a few hours. died later."

"So, Academician Chen and others are improving the virus serum, trying to develop a spray-type clear zombie reagent, so that the improved serum can penetrate the skin of zombies. In this way, we can cover the entire city with the spraying method of an airplane , to achieve the effect of silently killing most of the zombies. Of course, this does not mean that they will no longer study vaccines. After all, there are still a large number of zombies hidden in buildings. We still need injection reagents that can effectively prevent humans from mutating .”

The village chief was amazed.

"You said how these scientists are so powerful, they can always do things that everyone can only dare to think about."

"These are just assumptions, and it may take months or even years to complete." Qian Guowei's eyes flickered, "Let's talk about the fusion of zombies and fire coverage first."

At this point in the conversation, Zhou Botao also said: "We have a brief understanding of the situation here with Han Wenliang, but after all, he is not a person who experienced it personally, and he will definitely lose some details when he relays it, so I have to confirm it with you, and then I would like to ask you to bring us Go to the gathering place of the zombie tide."

Hearing this, Father Yang's eyes turned to Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin.

"You can ask Qinqin and Xiaofeng about this matter. What big and small things happen in our village are basically discovered and solved by the two of them."

Qian Guowei and others looked at Yang Feng and the others.

So Yang Yiqin gave them a detailed description of the characteristics of the fusion zombie.

Qian Guowei fell into deep thought.

Feng Lin's eyes were calm, and he continued: "Before you came here, Qinqin and I had just checked the situation in the south, and there were already sporadic zombies running towards this side. It is only a matter of time before the large-scale zombie wave arrives. If If you want to cover firepower, it's best to take advantage of them before they migrate on a large scale, otherwise the formation of zombies will definitely be looser than now, making it difficult to carry out bombing operations."

"Okay." Qian Guowei nodded heavily, "I will do as you said."

The village chief stood up: "Are you going to sleep here today? I'll find someone to help you clean up a room."

Qian Guowei also stood up and bowed to him.

"Trouble the village chief."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were quite familiar with investigating the zombie tide in the neighboring city.

Feng Lin drove the helicopter to open the way, and Yang Yiqin used the walkie-talkie to keep in touch with Qian Guowei and his party. From time to time, they explained the changes in the group of zombies below.exist

Among the piles of rotten and ugly zombies, everyone was "lucky" to find two fused zombies. They each lost half of their body, and their rotting wounds were tightly pressed against each other amidst the crowd of other zombies, and then successfully grew together.

Qian Guowei was amazed: "It's amazing, it's the first time I've seen it."

Li Jiang: "Me too..."

Zhou Botao: "Who said it wasn't?"

Yang Yiqin asked curiously: "I heard from Han Wenliang that the Beishi base was attacked by a wave of zombies. Fortunately, there were no casualties and the base did not suffer any losses. But since there is a wave of zombies, there must be crowds of zombies. You have not seen such a situation. Zombies?"

"Not yet." Qian Guowei's tone was affirmative, "Even if I usually go out to do missions, I have never seen such a strange-looking zombie."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin was silent for a moment.

Qian Guowei asked back, "Is there any question?"

"I think it's kind of weird."

"What's weird?"

"After Feng Lin and I returned to our hometown, the chances of seeing a dense wave of zombies are actually very small. After all, the area around our village is sparsely populated." Yang Yiqin was puzzled, "But logically speaking, when you perform missions, you should often drive It should be easier for Wu Zhi to fly over a place where zombies are densely populated than us to encounter this kind of situation."

Qian Guowei was also silent.

"exactly."

"so--"

"so?"

Yang Yiqin speculated reasonably: "I'm wondering... Does the formation of fused zombies have something to do with temperature?"

Feng Lin nodded in agreement while driving the helicopter: "It's possible."

Beishi is geographically farther north than Xinzhong City, so spring comes later as a matter of course.

Qian Guowei was silent for a moment.

After a long time, he said slowly: "I also think there is a possibility... In short, I will report your guess to Academician Chen and Dr. Liang in time."

During the conversation, everyone came to the place where the zombie tide gathered.

Probably after the building collapsed, new zombies crawled out of the ruins. The number of zombies was even more spectacular than last night.

Overlooking the rotting corpses below, Li Jiang couldn't help blurting out: "Severe, powerful!"

There are at least tens of thousands of zombies of this scale, which can already flatten a small safe zone.

No wonder it took so much effort to block the bridge.

Li Jiang suspected that even if these zombies fell headlong into the river, they would probably jump into the river one after another because of their characteristics of not being afraid of death or pain, until the rotting corpses blocked the river.

Obviously, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were also worried about this issue.

Yang Yiqin said with a smile: "Captain Qian may know that our village is making gunpowder and bombs by itself. If you don't come, Feng Lin and I originally planned to take out all the explosives in the village and reprocess them, and then bury them in the south of the stone bridge." A minefield."

"It's your style." Qian Guowei asked, "And then?"

The person who answered this time was Feng Lin.

"Then, take the opportunity to make all the alcoholic things in the village. When the zombies arrive, let the villagers of the whole village stand on the roof and use the stone catapult to throw drugs to the south of the river."

Protected by rivers, barbed wire walls, and concrete walls, they should be able to defeat the zombie tide.

Even if they are not defeated, as long as all the ladders are thrown away and the villagers stay on the roof, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin can always find a way to deal with the remaining zombies.

Qian Guowei's laughter was full of admiration: "As expected of the two of you, no matter where you are, you can make earth-shattering things."

Yang Yiqin shook his head and said, "We just want to protect the village."

Hearing this, Qian Guowei sighed lightly.

The dense group of zombies was full of curiosity about the helicopter, waving their arms and pushing towards them.Feng Lin skillfully guided them to run in the direction of the urban area. Because of the opposite of the original course of action, the stupid zombies turned around in a daze, which not only made him almost unsteady, but also affected other zombies around him. .

For a moment, the group of zombies was distorted and chaotic, and countless zombies were trampled into flesh by their own race.

Seeing this, Zhou Botao and others also learned his method, using the sound of the helicopter to guide the walking direction of the zombies, letting them squeeze and trample each other.

They flew all the way towards the city, and many zombies below followed them.

When he came to the neighboring city, Qian Guowei took out a bundle of slow descending ropes, tied one end of the rope around his waist, and said to the others: "I found a relatively safe place in a while, and I went down to collect vines and rotten masonry cement." , You help me take cover and pay attention to the movement around me."

"Roger that!"

Although Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin haven't cooperated with them for a long time, the tacit understanding of going through life and death together several times has long been engraved in the bottom of my heart.

They quickly found a rhythm, coordinated with the movements of the other two helicopters, cleaned up the zombies below, and provided Qian Guowei with safe and convenient conditions for collecting materials.Under the unanimous protection of everyone, Qian Guowei successively obtained more than 30 different samples, and divided each vine into a group with the corresponding bricks, and recorded a unified number on them.

Qian Guowei pinched the soft stone bricks: "When you said it, I didn't have any real feeling. Now that I see these stone bricks with my own eyes, I know that the original newly built community has become like this..."

Right now, there are survivors living in urban areas in many parts of the country, and most of them should not have the time to clean up the vines under the buildings.

If these vines are allowed to continue to grow...

If you look closer, the lives of survivors will inevitably be threatened; if you look far away, all modern buildings that carry human wisdom will become ruins after many years.

Until then, there will be no talk of revitalizing human civilization and history.

Qian Guowei only felt that the sample in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

"It's a bit late." Yang Yiqin asked, "Should we continue sampling?"

"No need." Qian Guowei said, "Let's go back to the village first."

When the group returned, in order not to lure the horde of zombies to the direction of the village, they specially changed the flight route and made a large circle from both sides of the horde of zombies to avoid facing the crowd of zombies again.

After returning to the village, they still gathered at the village chief's house.

The guest room in the village head's house has been cleaned up.

Qian Guowei was not in a hurry to talk about staying overnight, but instead said: "Let's hold another small meeting and make a new plan according to the situation."

Everyone naturally has no objection.

There was still afternoon tea in the teapot, and the village head poured another cup of hot tea for everyone.

Father Yang asked, "What's Captain Qian's plan?"

"I've seen what happened in the neighboring city." Qian Guowei frowned, "The situation is very bad, so we must get the samples to the lab as soon as possible, and we won't stay overnight tonight."

"...how, how can this be done?" The village head also frowned, "flying hundreds of kilometers at night, what should I do if I encounter danger?"

"You can't give up just because of a little risk." Qian Guowei said decisively, "As time goes by, this kind of flight should become the norm in the future."

Yang Yiqin asked, "Is everyone going back?"

"Only go back to one Wuzhi, and the rest of the people are here to respond." Qian Guowei glanced over the crowd present, "Zhou Botao and Huang Fei will follow me, and Li Jiang, Wan Lincun and Tao Meng will stay behind."

The five shouted together——

"Roger that!"

Qian Guowei nodded and continued: "There is one more thing, that is, the tide of zombies is not peaceful. We must solve this hidden danger as soon as possible, otherwise the two safe zones will be impacted. As Feng Lin said, if For coverage, the best time to strike is when they are most concentrated."

"I'll go back tonight and immediately report all the details of the zombie wave to the base. Tomorrow morning—no, tonight, we will come up with a battle plan and pick out all the weapons we need. Tomorrow at the latest In the morning, I will come back here with the support troops to bomb the huge group of zombies."

Hearing this, the village chief was a little worried: "Will all those things be transported by helicopter? How many helicopters do I have to use..."

Qian Guowei took a sip of tea.

"It's okay, we can use the transport plane."

The author has something to say:
