MTL - 2013-Chapter 17 Migration
With all the way north, in September, the weather finally cooled down and the temperature dropped to 17 degrees. After a few autumn rains, the survivors finally calmed down.
At Zhang Jian's insistence, they stopped by the road every evening. Boarding again at night, rushing north and day, day and night. No one knows when it will stop completely.
Along the way, the wind is yellow, the autumn is long and the sky is wide, as large as a town, as small as a gas station, and docked on the island. As long as the convoy stops, all zombies are seen.
They either wandered in the wild, or walked down the building, and slowly hurried to the roar of moving teams that could never catch up.
Occasionally, the life detector sounded several times in a large city a few kilometers away from the national highway. Lin Musen rejected all proposals for search and rescue on the grounds of insecurity and insufficient food.
All those who first followed him out of the chemical plant knew very well that those reserves were enough to eat.
Moreover, Lin Musen ordered parking as soon as he saw gas stations and small towns on the road, and ran out of supplies. In these days, not only did they have more but more food.
Rou Ma used to be a fashion designer. She took over all the work of sewing and started changing clothes.
She always looked at the bear head in Cassia's jacket pocket, and her eyes were red and dazed. Jie Ming gave her the bear, she didn't want to, and finally took a few military uniforms. Compared with the mask, Zhang Jian's figure began to modify.
A few days later, the first batch of modified clothes was completed, and most men put on the suits that they searched out of the barracks and had a second improved fit.
Mother Rou smiled and said, "Does it fit, deciding?"
Sitting on a chair by the road, Cassia looked up at her without speaking.
Zhang Yan said: "Baby, what should I say?"
Mother Rou busyly said, "It's okay, the young man is dressed in spirit." She turned and left.
Cassia wore a khaki military uniform and a field team style hat. Six junior high school students were squatting in front of him.
A little fat man is two years younger than Cassia, just rising to second grade, pulling his shoulder and looking, saying, "Is this our uniform?"
Jue Ming said: "Well, Uncle Meng said, you will be in charge of me in the future, you six, listen to me."
"Okay." A boy was half a head taller than Cassia, and asked, "I recognize you as the boss. Will you take us to the zombie? What team will we call?"
Jue Ming pulled the logo on his arm and showed them that the children were large and small, and the military uniforms were changed by the mother, and without exception, the cartoon logo-a purple mushroom head, a thin rod .
Jue Ming said: "We are the timid mushroom team. We don't have to rush to kill the zombies. We just need to hide behind them. If there is a task, Uncle Meng will tell me."
The children nodded in understanding, and said, "What about Uncle Meng?"
Cassia said: "They are a squash team, also have cannibals and ground spikes, are responsible for melee and frontline; the people my dad will shoot, are pea shooters, double shooters and machine gun shooter squads."
"Where's that man?" The fat man looked up. At the rear of the container truck in the sunset, Liu Ye was sitting on the edge of the container, shaking his feet with a kick, and buried his head to assemble a machine.
"His name is Liu Ye, a technical worker." Jue Ming said, "He is very powerful, like a robot cat, with many new things. That day, his alarm clock rescued you."
The fat man said, "He is a twin sunflower?"
Liu Ye's military uniform had an uncle's head protruding from the chest, deciding clearly: "No, he's crazy Dave, the one who opened the garage store."
The children laughed.
Cassia learned the words of Zhang Jianjiao and said, "Talk to you."
Cassia drew the little bear out of his pocket and shook it away, motioning his team members to talk about themselves, communicate with each other, and understand each other.
Zhang Huan stood in the distance and watched interestingly that Cassia and his teammates increased their relationship.
"Liu Ye." Zhang Yan said.
Liu Jian didn't look up, "What."
Zhang Ye said: "Decision was a lot more cheerful. Before, he had no friends at school."
Liu Yan said, "You're welcome, you can make him more friends."
Xie Fenghua was sitting in the car, helping Liu Ye to register the part specification number, and he suddenly said, "Jingming feels too small."
Zhang Jian said, "He wasn't that big."
Xie Fenghua smiled and said, "No, I mean, he doesn't have the mentality that a junior high school student should have. A fifteen-year-old boy, a child whose thought and emotional intelligence are close to about ten, or eleven ... I heard him say that he was eleven years old when you met? Perhaps it is because you have been protecting him over the years and his interpersonal and communication abilities have stalled. "
Zhang Ye said: "No way, he didn't talk to strangers when he was studying. He thought that his classmates were very kind to him ... I bumped my head once when I was 11 years old. In fact, the students like to laugh at him. Reflected several times, transferred to school ... "
"No," Xie Fenghua said, "The reason lies with you. You are like a safe haven. This is psychologically called the wall effect. The tight protection makes him unwilling to actively seek communication and responsibility."
Zhang Huan: "What shall I do?"
Xie Fenghua said: "Give him a chance to exercise appropriately."
Zhang Huan: "It's impossible, it's too dangerous."
Xie Fenghua smiled and said, "Yes, but putting him behind you is really wrong."
"Philosopher." Liu Yan said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with this. They have their own way of dealing with each other. If you like it, what can I say? Do you think his intelligence is sound?"
Xie Fenghua's pen thought about his chin and nodded: "Intellectuality is normal, but it can be said to be very smart. It is too divergent thinking. Zhang Ye, do you really intend to protect him for a lifetime? This is unrealistic."
Zhang Ye said: "What's so unrealistic. Why is it not realistic?"
Zhang Ye's tone was a little displeased, but Xie Fenghua didn't go on talking, and nodded with interest.
Zhang Huan seemed to want to tell what was happening, with a usual rush, saying:
"A lifetime is a lifetime, fifty years, sixty years, until the last year, one hour, one second, one month a month. Where is unrealistic?"
"I said something wrong." Xie Fenghua said: "Sorry."
"It's nothing." Zhang Ye's cultivation is still very good: "His teacher said that too. You are much gentler than her, thank you for your concern."
Zhang Ye turned and left, Liu Ye laughed, and in his eyes there was a kind of Xie Fenghua who finally ate it.
"Philosopher." Liu Yan sighed.
Xie Fenghua couldn't help crying and shook her head.
"My dad and my stepmother ..." the little fat man resentfully said, "Just throw me there and run away by myself."
Cassia listened quietly without saying a word.
Someone asked, "What happened later?"
The fat man said to them, "Later, I went upstairs secretly, and my dad went back to pack up, my grandma threw out of the room, bit my stepmother to death in the living room, and bit my dad a bit, deserving them. "
Cassia said, "Did your dad take you away?"
The little fat man said a little cruelly: "I stole the key and locked him at home. Who asked him to hit my grandma every day. I threw the key into the sewer and ran into Rev. Wu when I ran downstairs, and later I was with them Together. "
Cassia nodded, his eyes were a bit complicated.
Lin Musen gave an order, and Meng Yun shouted from a distance: "Sunflower, Mushroom Team get on the car first! The others are on alert and set off!"
"Look at heaven." Jue Ming said.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is bright with autumn stars.
"There will be aliens to save the earth and humans." Cassia summed up his conversation and let his team members get in the car.
When Liu Ye heard this, his mouth twitched unnaturally, and Zhang Ye laughed, "It's the same as that of a priest, but he thinks he can be saved by trusting in the heavenly things."
Liu Ye had a terrible expression on his face. He took over a few maintenance summaries handed over to the car and ordered people to get in.
Gasoline is enough for 3,000 kilometers, but the tires can't support it, so we have to find another place to supply it along the way, preferably in the city, or the roadside auto repair shop.
However, there were not many specific tires for container trucks. The next day, they carefully bypassed Wuhan and passed over the Yangtze River Bridge.
Five days after crossing the north of the river, they bypassed Henan and entered the border of Shaanxi. The tire of the first container truck exploded. At four in the morning, the last container truck suddenly honked its horn and the front side of the road. Six vehicles were on the road. The side stopped.
Fortunately, Liu Ye had already anticipated that the order of the team had been adjusted, otherwise a serial car accident would be difficult to avoid.
Everyone woke up in the night, noisy.
Meng Yun said: "Stay in the car!" He jumped out of the middle car and looked back, three flashlights shining on the tire.
Liu Yidao: "Overweight, you have too much stuff, and the natural damage caused by excessive wear and tear, according to the test also in these days."
Lin Musen said: "No spare tire, what should I do?"
Liu Ye had already thought about this problem and only expected to find spare tires along the way, but along the way, there were no tires in the auto parts store.
"Wait for dawn." Executive Hu Yan got out of the car and proposed: "If you don't want to abandon the car, you can only look around after dawn."
Lin Musen accepted the proposal, Meng Yun went to arrange a patrol, and Liu Yi set up a detector on the roof of the car.
After dawn, Meng Mao and Zhang Hua each led a team to investigate along the fork at the end of the highway. Lin Musen's faces were cloudy and irritable.
In the evening, the two teams returned almost simultaneously.
"There is a residential area in front." Zhang Huan took off his gloves and exhaled: "There are several grocery stores inside, but they are empty, like a small village with a small group of zombies wandering, about a thousand. No positive contact. "
Meng said: "I walked for four hours along our direction and found a Hope Elementary School. At the intersection of the two fork roads west of the highway, I can see that there is no abnormality. There is an excavator. Fix it. "
Lin Musen was silent for a moment, then said: "Go west and bypass the zombie. The two cars will go over first."
On the morning of the third day, two container trucks arrived at a solitary building in the wilderness.
It has entered the geological zone of the Loess Plateau. The wind and sand are severe in autumn, and it is highly anticipated that there is only one place where a school is built on the continuous plain.
Near the deserted suburb of Twenty Mile Road, the other side of Tushan is a small village called Zhangye.
There are loess on all sides, and the wilderness is very flat, and where the eyes are almost invisible, it is the Qinling Mountains that separates heaven and earth.
A small river rushes across in the distance. Looking at the whereabouts, it should merge into the Yellow River.
The road here is not easy. It is a two-day drive from Xi'an. The countryside is remote and the land is barren. Liu Ye tentatively looked at Lin Musen's complexion.
Meng Ye and Zhang Ye led a man to inspect the entire unfinished school. Liu Ye looked outside. After Hu Ye came, Lin Musen began to consult his opinions. Hu Yan spoke very well, and the suggestions put forward so far. Compared with Liu Ye's straight-through, it was clear that Hu Ye was more favored by Lin Musen.
This is in line with Liu Ye's intentions. He doesn't want to explain too much to Lin Musen over and over again. After all, his specialty is mechanical rather than public relations and interpersonal communication.
"What do you think of this, Liu Ye?" Lin Musen looked at Liu Ye with anticipation after talking with his think tank for a moment. This was the first time in several days that he asked Liu Ye for his opinions.
Liu Ye nodded and didn't speak.
"Are we going to settle here?" A teenager asked.
A few children rolled past a hoop passing in front of them, Lin Musen impatiently said: "Fighting! Take your scout! Don't sway here!"
Liu Yan said: "I want to go in and see."
"Come on," Lin Musen said cheerfully, "Monte will protect you."
Liu Ye walked into the school. It was not finished yet. Cement bags were stacked on the backyard playground. Slides and rings, swings, horizontal bars were built. The basketball court was not paved with cement, and cinders were stacked on the track.
Lime walls have been brushed, and corners of the first floor are sprayed with astonishing blood and purple and black handprints.
"嗬 ——" A zombie slammed open the door, Liu Xuan pulled back abruptly, the sound of a gun slammed, the figure appeared on the stairs, and shot the zombie.
"What are you doing here," Meng said.
Liu Yan: "Look at the situation."
Meng said, "Follow me."
Members of the team dispersed into this two-story school. Meng Yan took Liu Ye and walked down the stairs toward the second floor. Military boots stepped on the corridor and made a steady, firm sound.
Holding the armrest, Liu Ye looked up and said, "If there is an emergency, you can scream in fear, and hold Sergeant Meng's waist from behind."
"Huh?" Liu Yan said, "How many zombies have been found?"
The sky was gloomy and downcast, and Mengmen walked around the corridor, and said, "Few, including the one just now, there are only three in total. One wears a helmet and should be a worker. Lin Musen intends Settled here? "
Liu Yan: "Who knows?"
He walked into a classroom, pushed open aluminum windows and looked back at the campus. There was a school building on the other side of the basketball court.
After Zhang Ye toured the east, he brought someone over to meet with Meng Yan.
"Report casualties," Meng Yue said, "I heard someone calling and got hurt?"
Zhang Jian said: "Bite, alone, I let him go to Lin Musen."
"Is that the one?" Liu Ye raised his chin and motioned them to look out the window.
On the basketball court, Hu Yan in a suit took a man under the rebound and said a few words.
Blindfolded.
The man turned and ran, Hu Yan took his gun, fired, and killed the man on the spot.
The three were silent for a while, Hu Yan put □□ into the suit pocket and turned away.
Liu Yidao: "I don't like it here, and I don't like some of his practices ..."
The door was pushed open, and Hu Yan stood outside and asked, "Liu Ye, Brother Sen is looking for you."
When they left the classroom, Hu Yan whispered, "You better give him some advice. I don't think it is suitable here. The terrain and space are empty, like an island."
Liu Ye whispered, "Did you not find out, he would like to develop here for a long time, otherwise Meng Ye would not search carefully."
Hu Yan nodded, and Liu Yan asked, "How does it feel to kill?"
Hu Yan calmed for a while, then replied, "Frankly, it's bad. You have also paid a vote? How many people have you killed?"
Liu Ye said: "No, he changed his way to let me kill people. I never listened to him."
Hu Yan said: "But most of the food we eat is for him."
"Yes," Liu Yan said casually, "what's the matter, Mongolian can protect us, I hope he will be safe."
Hu Yan said: "I will be responsible for keeping an eye on him, don't worry, I have never had the opportunity to say, thank you for saving me."
Liu Ye smiled: "Small."
Meng Yun patted Hu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Do n’t say thank you, dear."
Four people went downstairs.
Lin Musen said, "Liu Ye, do you think it is suitable for living here?"
Liu Yidao: "Yes, there are enough classrooms, and there are rooms in the back of the school building. I can start to make a few wind turbines, and I can stay temporarily."
Lin Musen nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, I think so too."
Liu Yidao: "Or we can spend winter here, but after winter ..."
Lin Musen smiled, handed a cigarette, and Liu Ye licked his lips to take over. After thinking about it, Lin Musen personally smoked Liu Ye, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "You need to understand me, I do it for everyone. "
Liu Ye said, "How do you say ..."
"No need to say," Lin Musen said, "just do it."
He walked across the basketball court in the wind with Liu Ye's shoulders on his shoulders. Liu Ye tried his best not to look at the dead body in a pool of blood.
"You and Hu Yan." Lin Musen said, "I will be my right hand in the future. You do n’t know how to deal with people. I understand that people who are academics do not like socializing. I heard that Qian Xuesen never participates in social entertainment ... "
"Qian Zhongshu," Liu Yan said.
Lin Musen's smile was very close, saying: "Anyway, the surname is Qian, and Senge understands you autistic ... scholars. So Senge also wants to understand that your personality is really unsuitable for coordination and easy to offend people. Later Hu I am in charge of personnel affairs, you are in charge of the construction, and our homeland will be left to you. Senge will never interfere with you. How many people need to fight, you say to Hu Ji and let them all listen to you. "
"OK." Liu Yan nodded.
Lin Musen pointed his finger at the smoke and pointed to the excavator in the distance. "Can you turn that into a crane? You have to prepare to unload it first. Come, I will help you."
Liu Ye looked at the huge excavator, crying without tears.
Of course, Lin Musen couldn't really beat his hand. After working for a while, his men used other excuses to call him away. And Liu Ye was busy with several people until ten o'clock in the evening. He was so exhausted that he used excavators as cranes and unloaded the containers one by one.
Three days later Zhang Huan began training the survivors, and the process was still the same as in the previous chemical plant.
Meng Yue and Liu Ye took people out. Meng Yue went step by step, carefully sweeping the villages and towns twenty miles away. Liu Ye removed the driver's seat cover, pulled the electric wire to touch the spark, started the car, and opened them one by one. come back.
Old-fashioned electric vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, and nearby villages and towns have only these devices. There are frequent power outages in the Northwest, and batteries and generators are unexpected.
If Liu Ye was awarded the treasure, he could find a bunch of usable and discarded ones. As long as the abandoned generators were simply renovated, they would almost come in handy.
After half a month of running, the intersection of Shaanxi, Henan, and Hubei is finally on track, and it can be regarded as a new foothold.
Liu Ye always felt that this place was not good. It was an indescribable intuition, but Lin Musen insisted on his own way, and no one wanted to touch the mold, just like Meng Ye said: "How do you convince him? Could you tell him there is Feng Shui here? problem?"
Liu Ye had to come, then he was safe. He removed the three flagpoles in the elementary school and matched the fan blades of a dozen electric fans, and began to try to make three ten-meter-high windmills. It took him almost a month to complete this process. He was transferred to training by the labor force, and he was half-tired after training during the day. Liu Ye did not dare to ask anyone to help.
Only Meng Yun was on patrol at night, and the two men were welding and cutting on a small generator in the open playground, and they were busy until two in the middle of the night.
Finally, on the day when the generator was erected, Lin Musen took the time to watch during his busy schedule. He stood far away, afraid that these things would explode.
"This thing can be used?" Lin Musen said far away, he felt that Liu Ye was just doing crafts.
Liu Ye took off his gloves, his hands were full of blood bubbles, he glanced at him and said, "Not sure! I hope!"
Lin Musen: "Have you done this before?"
Liu Ye: "No, I will do it for the first time, and the letter needs to be improved."
Lin Musen said, "Come on, I support your invention."
"When you touch the top and bottom of your mouth, you will support it." Meng Mao grumbled dissatisfied: "What do I say to you for two months?"
Meng Yan cast them with cement and stood firmly on the top of the soil slope. The multi-loop coil was pulled out, and the first round of diesel generator charged the magnetic coil with full magnetism.
"You are the power of love, and he doesn't love me. Didn't you find out, he looked at us and Zhang Huan's eyes, it was just a little less guarded than watching the zombies ..." Liu Yan whispered.
Meng Yun: "Why?"
Liu Yan: "Afraid we have AIDS."
Meng Yun: "..."
Liu Ye: "Ready to begin, kiss, pray."
Meng Yun: "What to pray, dear, to whom? Pray for you?"
Liu Yan: "Pray not to fail, I really want the pastor to come and pray for me ..."
Meng Yun said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, isn't science all the same. Failure should be a good exercise. Don't be embarrassing ..." Said Chao Linsen and said, "The guy doesn't know what we are doing anyway. "
Lin Musen stood on the edge of the dirt **** and smoked, and the wind blew his jacket up.
In the deafening wind and the buzzing of the generator, Liu Ye explained to Lin Musen loudly: "This is only the first round of power supply! You need to use a diesel generator to magnetize the coil. After the wind drives it to rotate, the electricity it generates Will flow into the entire circuit ... "
Lin Musen said: "No explanation! Switch on!"
The flagpole trembled in the northwest, and Meng Xuan pulled out the steel bar that locked the axle. Liu Xuan turned off the generator and switched the power supply circuit.
In an instant, the ground calmed down. Thirty fan blades buzzed and turned into a ghost image in the wind, like magnificent flowers blooming in the **** dusk. The magnetic coils rotate at high speed and the magnetic field is cut to generate electricity. Up.
In the thick cables scattered on the ground, the current flew to the distance in an instant, and the whole school flashed first, and then the electricity was successfully applied.
The campus lights up brightly for a moment, the children scream for joy, and the cheers of everyone rang.
Lin Musen nodded, stepped on the electric car and went back to school.
Liu Ye and Meng Yan held hands, and each other's hands were grinded with blood bubbles. They went down the **** and went back to the warm home in the black wind that opened the world for thousands of years.
October 1, 2012.
The founding day was not celebrated, and we greeted the first light in the cheers.
Edison's ground-breaking light illuminated our long night. On the forty-seventh day after the tide of zombies erupted, electricity returned to our lives.
The current power supply can only be simple lighting. Most of the electrical energy is stored in the battery pack. Wind generators need regular maintenance and oiling. The next plan is to prepare Tesla high-voltage coils as a defense facility, hoping to play a role in resisting zombies.
With electricity, there is light. With hope, the improved chip left by Cui Xiaokun can finally work. The mystery in the barracks was solved a month ago.
I opened the video. Most of the zombies killed by Meng Yun and Zhang Huan on that day were scattered. What seemed to have happened in the middle of the corpse pile. After the second death, the zombie body floated off the ground like a weightless body, slowly moved closer to a point in the middle, and was attracted together.
More and more corpses were gathered towards the center, layer after layer, and thousands of disabled zombies had lost their ability to move their brains. The flesh and bones of the corpse were condensed and formed into a ten-meter-high giant standing.
It didn't do anything at first, like completing some kind of fusion and mutation. After 5 hours shown on the video time point, the flesh and blood giant is still standing, the power is exhausted, and the image is gone.
what does this mean? I watched the video several times, and I did n’t miss a minute and a second in the tedious five hours. It was also seen by almost everyone who might give comments. No one can interpret the video and it is not useful for this phenomenon Suggestions.
Everyone was surprised, surprised that the zombie mutated again after its death.
There is also a doubt: where does this giant go long distances?
After watching the video, Jue Ming said that like a flying saucer in the sky shoots down a beam of light, many corpses slowly floated and felt together.
His idea was a bit unique, but the perspective at that time was fixed, there was no way to turn to the sky, and we couldn't see anything in the sky. However, I think there may be a "nucleus" where the infrared camera cannot capture.
Maybe this core is invisible to the naked eye? Could it be that it aggregated all the corpses. The notion of extraterrestrial life is too unimaginable and unlikely. The clue is broken like this, and it can only be set aside.
Meng Yun found a lot of grain seeds in the nearby town. Hu and I carefully discussed. In the spring of next year, you can try to sow. Although everyone is confused and has no experience in planting the land, at least the forest reserves Can eat for a long time.
Everything can only be tried first, and I believe that he can grow something before he runs out of enough food for ten years.
Meng Yan believes that although the terrain here is simple and unfavorable, it is not completely impossible to defend. We and Zhang Ye made a detailed plan for the terrain and buildings. It refers to the suggestions of almost everyone, including Lin Musen's, although he can't say anything except "do it well" and "support you".
Instead, police officer Deng Changhe mentioned the role of electricity on zombies.
He used a 20,000-volt electric baton to knock over several zombies. With reference to this point, everything is easy to handle with electricity. Meng Yun analyzed the density of zombies and proposed that as long as a power grid stopped the school, it would be enough to resist thousands of zombies attacking at the same time.
I designed a Tesla coil and experimented with several zombies passing by, and it worked well.
Combining iron bombs, power grids, and Tesla coils, it's not difficult to hold here. I hope this time I can build a real home. I don't want to run away.
I don't know how many people are still alive on this land?
I don't know if there are still many people like us who are struggling to survive the disaster of the last days and wait for hope to come.
