The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 140: Before the base takes action

Perhaps because they had never seen so many oil barrels, the agile zombies seemed to be curious about them.

Without any soldiers daring to rush in and shoot, the third-level agile zombies rushed to the depths of the oil warehouse and began to mess around. While running and jumping, many oil barrels were knocked over by it.

However, the sound of the rolling oil barrels stimulated it to break those barrels in turn.

The fairly strong iron sheet was like a thin paper in front of its claws, and it was easily torn apart, letting the gasoline flow all over the ground. After overturning and breaking countless barrels, the strong smell of volatile gasoline could even be smelled by the soldiers guarding outside the warehouse.

That pungent special smell made everyone a little uneasy!

Even outside with good ventilation, you can smell such a strong smell of oil, so you can imagine what will happen inside. I'm afraid that only a spark will cause a shocking explosion!

"Back off a little first."

The lieutenant repeatedly wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and finally couldn't help but give an order.

It must be admitted that it was his caution that saved the lives of most of the soldiers present. Not long after everyone retreated a hundred meters away, the sensitive zombie hiding in the oil depot overturned a pile of oil barrels again. The iron barrels collided with each other, and the friction with the ground produced a series of inconspicuous sparks. But it was this inconspicuous spark that instantly detonated the entire oil depot!

The gasoline that had already evaporated to the extreme exploded with a bang, and the instantaneous brightness was like a small sun.

The huge explosion sounded several miles away, and the splashing flames were thrown hundreds of meters away!

The lieutenant and his men were less than two hundred meters away from the center of the explosion, so they were naturally within the affected range. Many soldiers standing in front had their hair burnt by the scorching air waves, and many burning oil spots were even stained on their bodies, quickly turning them into firemen!

Some smart soldiers quickly took off their clothes and rolled on the ground, and screams of pain were heard from time to time around them.

However, this explosion was far from over!

After all, this warehouse contained nearly two-thirds of the base's oil. After the first big explosion, the oil barrels outside also exploded. The blazing flames were dozens of meters high, so that even Major General Wu, who went back to report to Chen Gaoyang, could see it from afar!

"Oh my God!"

The lieutenant was frightened by the possible consequences of the explosion.

He stared blankly at the flames rising into the sky, and the huge explosion sounded in his ears. For a while, his brain stopped thinking, and he didn't even notice the broken iron sheets that brushed past him and finally embedded several centimeters into the ground!

The third-level agile zombie that played with fire sent itself into the sky at the moment of the explosion. In the face of such power, even the third-level strength zombie and the zombie elephant would only be blown to ashes!

However, the cost of destroying it was too high!

Nearly two-thirds of the base's reserve oil was gone in just a few explosions. Not only the lieutenant felt dizzy, but even Chen Gaoyang and Major General Wu, who learned the truth at the first time, were vomiting blood in their hearts. The base has been tossed twice, and it can't stand this kind of loss again!

"Am I not destined to have that fate?"

After being angry for a long time, Chen Gaoyang sighed and doubted himself for the first time.

It seemed that everything was wrong since he took control of the Andu base. First, millions of zombies attacked, and then when they were about to win, the central government gave them nuclear weapons; later, they abandoned the city and moved to the Songping base, and they encountered a third-level zombie attack just a few days after they arrived; this was nothing, but hundreds of thousands of zombie birds also came to trouble him, and the third-level agile zombie that sneaked into the base even got into the oil warehouse!

Even if a person has good patience, he will not be able to withstand the blow if he encounters these things one after another!

Major General Wu was also a little discouraged, but he still advised diligently: "Commander, things are not out of control yet. Doing nothing will only make things worse. No matter what, we must come up with a solution!"

"Solution?"

At his reminder, Chen Gaoyang reluctantly said: "First, take down the lieutenant who neglected his duty, and then we will decide how to deal with him later. In addition, order the whole city to collect gasoline. All survivors must hand over 80% of their gasoline, or only keep 20 liters at most. The base can consider giving some appropriate compensation, just use the equivalent of food to exchange for oil. And , the whole city is out of power, and only hospitals and the military are powered for a limited time. "

Major General Wu wrote down all of them, and finally asked: "Why not collect all of them? We don't have much oil left!"

"We have to leave them some hope. If all the oil is taken away, they will never agree without a way out." Chen Gaoyang thought for a while, and then said: "Send someone to see if there are any oil depots near the base, and find a way to collect some."

"Yes, I'll ask someone to do it now."

Just as Major General Wu went down to execute the order, Lin Chen and Qian Xu were discussing the same thing.

The flames rising from the depths of the base were too obvious, and coupled with the explosion just now, it was almost self-evident what had happened, even if the base wanted to hide it, it couldn't be hidden!

"The oil depot exploded!"

When Lin Chen first heard the news, he was still a little confused. When he knew that it was a third-level sensitive zombie that accidentally detonated it, he couldn't help but be stunned. He hesitated for a long time before thinking, could it be the injured sensitive zombie he saw? If that was the case, Lin Chen didn't know what to say. He had thought about following and killing the sensitive zombie. If he had really taken action at that time, then perhaps the explosion would not have happened?

Lin Chen's expression was a bit strange, and in the end it could only be attributed to God's will!

"The soldiers who came back said that they were lucky enough to retreat a hundred meters before the explosion. Otherwise, I'm afraid they all died there. But even so, seven or eight people died, and the rest were basically burned. Some people were temporarily deafened by the explosion. The base was really unlucky. Two-thirds of the oil was gone! Some profiteers in the trading area immediately increased the price of oil five times after getting the news. Not yet. Do you know how high it is?" Qian Xu looked up at the flames over there and sighed.

His unintentional words surprised Lin Chen. After thinking for a while, Lin Chen suddenly raised his head and said, "No, I'm afraid the base is going to take some action on the oil!"

"No way?"

Qian Xu shook his head at first, but then he thought it was very possible: "Without fuel, there is no electricity, and all kinds of tanks and armored vehicles can't drive. Not to mention, our Commander Chen might actually know how to do it. We have various vehicles in the car. The total amount of gasoline and diesel of each model is more than one ton. It would be a huge loss if they were all requisitioned!”

"No, if you don't have gas, it will be difficult to go out in the future."

Lin Chen stood up immediately. He rubbed his hands and decided to take action immediately: "No matter what, put all the fuel in your van first, and then drive out and find a hidden place to hide it. Without further ado, later It might be too late!”

"good!"

Qian Xu also knew the importance of fuel and immediately took off his coat to help. Although Liu Yi felt that there was a bit of a fuss, he also knew that these two people were more accurate than him, so he hurried over to help.

Two minutes later, Lin Chen and Qian Xu got into the truck.

It's not a big deal, just find a secluded place outside the city, so it's enough for them.

Because there were too many people in the base, Qian Xu could not drive fast no matter how hard he tried. This really made the two of them anxious for a while, fearing that before they even drove out of the base, they would suddenly hear a broadcast from the top management, and then suddenly there would be an oil ban or something. Fortunately, the base just repelled the zombie attack an hour ago. There are still many things to be busy with now, so the efficiency should not be that high for the time being!

This gives them a chance!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. He frowned and racked his brains for a while before saying angrily: "Quick, drive the car back!"

"What's the matter?"

Qian Xu didn't react for a while.

Lin Chen hurriedly urged, saying: "There are still millions of corpses of zombies placed outside the city walls on the east and north sides of the base. They can't get out at all! Quick, let's take a detour and go out through the west side door. There are zombies there. I’m afraid it’s not even 40,000 to 50,000!”

"Thank you for reminding me in time!"

Qian Xu realized that he hadn't thought of this either, and couldn't help but curse himself for being confused. He quickly changed direction, tried his best to choose a street with fewer people, and rushed to the west of the base as hard as he could. At this time, almost an hour had passed since the temporary oil warehouse exploded! If we were still at Andu Base now, I'm afraid the military would have already responded. Even though it was Matsudaira now, and the base had just faced a major zombie attack, it almost had its hands free at this moment.

After all, it is still the resolute Chen Gaoyang who controls the base!

While he is still there, the base will basically remain unchanged.

Lin Chen knew this, so he tried his best to urge Qian Xu to drive faster. I rushed slowly and hurriedly along the way, and finally rushed to the west gate of the base despite the risk of several car accidents and hitting people. From their position, they were less than three hundred meters away from the west gate.

Because the zombies have been confirmed to be cleared, the west door has been opened at this time, and there are several bulldozers outside cleaning out the zombies!

"It seems quite timely."

Lin Chen and Qian Xu both breathed a sigh of relief. The large barrels of fuel in the car should be safe.

However, at this moment, the order from the base to requisition gasoline finally came down. The main point is to exchange equal weight of grain for gasoline, and to set up inspections at the entrance of the base. All fuel is allowed in but not allowed out, and even if you want to bring it in, 80% of it will be taken away by the base! When it comes to matters related to the survival of the base, neither Chen Gaoyang nor other senior officials are ambiguous about their actions!

Not far away, several soldiers, under the command of a non-commissioned officer, re-lifted the roadblocks that had been put away during the war.

"Quick, rush over!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was very anxious. Although he was not sure that this was the method used by the military to collect oil, he still instinctively felt that something was wrong. After all, just be afraid of anything unexpected...

For Lin Chen now, this contingency means a ton of oil! (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
