Corrupted Nation

Dongzhen was the base camp for supplies from various places that previously supported Houtian City, and there are still many local volunteers in Dongzhen. As a qualified politician, the mayor of East Town immediately used the East Town radio to issue a notice after learning of the rebellion in the shelter, asking everyone to work together and transport all supplies to the mine. In order to delay, he ordered the Dongzhen Police Department to blow up the highway bridge leading to the shelter outside Dongzhen.

On the other hand, the mayor of Dongzhen also sent people to contact the volunteers and tried his best to persuade the volunteers to go with them.

The Dongzhen Mine chosen by the mayor is a good place with many bottomless mines that can be used to store supplies and arrange housing. There is a platform covering an area of ​​0.5 square kilometers outside the mine. The platform has cliffs on two sides, mountains on one side, and only one road. As long as this road is blocked, the mine can be isolated from the outside world.

From the above information, we can know that the mayor of Dongzhen has strong execution ability and high decisiveness. If he can get lucky, he might be able to get this thing done.

Lin Wu sat on the ground with his back against the wall and asked Shi Shi, who was like a dying chicken next to him: "Shi Shi, do you think the mayor of East Town is a good person or a bad person?"

Shitou closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said feebly: "When most people die, it's a matter of everyone dying together. Different perspectives on things lead to different conclusions. Back then, our ancestors migrated to Blue Star and took away 500,000 strong young people. , leaving hundreds of millions of people behind, is it possible to take a gamble and stuff all the hundreds of millions of people into the spaceship? Or take away another 500,000? How were the 500,000 taken away selected? "

Shitou added: "I can only say that the mayor of Dongzhen may not be a good person, but he should be a qualified mayor who has lived up to the trust of the townspeople. It is easier to judge whether he is right or wrong. Who is right, the general or the rebels? It’s worth discussing who is at fault.”

Shana said: "The general is right. His problem is that he still has a lucky mentality and believes that mankind can survive the end of the world. The young officers are more practical. When the zombie virus broke out around the world, they stood up to save a group. Assume that in a few years Months later, mankind defeated the zombie virus. These young officers will inevitably go to the trial stand, be reviled by most people, and be engraved on the shelf of shame in history. Therefore, after thinking carefully, I think the young officers are better than Generals are braver and more willing to take responsibility."

Xiao Wu disagreed and said on the side: "But have you forgotten? The weapons and equipment owned by the soldiers are provided by the people. The reason why the people provide taxes and the reason why the city sets up this base is to hope that the soldiers can be in danger." Protect the people when they come. Just like us police, we are very hard-working, but we also get paid, and there is no professional greatness. The people hire us to improve urban security and protect their safety and legitimate rights and interests as much as possible. Rather than encountering powerful thieves and bandits They just ran away, let alone pointed their guns at the citizens."

Su Shidao: "I agree with Xiao Wu's point of view. When you engage in certain professions, there are certain things you must do. Xiao Wu's police profession has the obligation to save people. Others who do not save people will be morally condemned. Police officers Failure to save people will be punished by law."

Xiao Wen, who was working on the side, said: "I don't agree. I think specific things should be analyzed in detail. If the base is not closed, it will only be a matter of time before it perishes. In the absence of external assistance, they cannot withstand a refugee flow of hundreds of thousands of people. .”

While everyone was discussing this moment, they did their best to do something. Even if they could wring out a little more water from the wet clothes, it would be considered a contribution to the collective.

Shana braced herself and walked to the window to fly the drone and observe the last five kilometers to her destination. It can be seen from the drone video that the terrain began to rise significantly after two kilometers. Although the river water continued to pour into the last two kilometers near the southwest distribution center, the water depth did not exceed 40 centimeters. The most dangerous place is the third kilometer, where the current is relatively strong and the water depth is more than one meter.

Factories around the distribution center were basically submerged. After the flood receded, the factory roofs and roads were filled with silt. There are also blocked drainage pipes in some areas, which are expected to turn into stagnant puddles and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and germs after the rain stops.

"Lin Wu, come here."

Lin Wu sat next to Shana, and Shana asked Lin Wu to look at the screen. This is a distribution center with dozens of railway tracks, and the tracks are filled with trains of all kinds. Parts of several trains were knocked down and derailed by the floods, but most of the trains were still standing on the tracks.

This is the southwest train freight distribution center.

There were several or even a dozen trains parked on each railway track. They followed the tracks deeper and reached the southwest distribution center warehouse. Going deeper is a warehouse area cut into tofu by railroad tracks.

Suppose there is a ton of stone to be transported out. The stone is first transported to the warehouse by car. The freight train drives the train to the warehouse according to the schedule. After the workers load a ton of stone into the truck, the train drives back to the distribution subway track and waits for departure.

The same goes for shipping in. The train drives to the warehouse door, unloads the goods, and leaves empty.

Shana raised the drone and intuitively felt that this area was very vast. Shana said: "I don't like it very much."

Well, I don't like it either. The area is too large and the security level is too high. A group of people will arrive at any given day. Lin Wu said: "But it seems that the supplies are very sufficient."

Shana said: "Frozen food will definitely not be edible when there is a power outage. It is mainly food with vacuum waterproof packaging such as instant noodles and rice. I believe the food problem will not be too big, so we have to solve the water problem. What do you think? Which location is best for us to build a semi-permanent shelter?”

First of all, exclude the distribution center. There are many and densely packed trains here. Not to mention sneak attacks by survivors, you may not be able to detect zombies if they touch your home.

The remaining areas include container loading and unloading areas, warehouse areas, dispatch stations, etc., but none of them qualify as a shelter in the traditional sense.

An excellent shelter needs to have a geographical advantage, or a mountaintop church with three sides of cliffs and one side of a one-way road. Or the steel defense line of the container fortress, with only two small doors. What's worse is the commercial street, which at least has an open front, so the enemy can't easily sneak into the base. Even worse is the parking lot where Lin Wu and Xiao Wu stayed. They are in a relatively complicated forest of cars. After setting alarms around them, they have a relatively stable safety zone.

Lin Wu tried to analyze. First of all, he needed water. Clean water was very important, so he could only consider the southwest mountains. There must be springs in the green mountains. Shana tried to raise the drone and fly it as far as possible, and the two of them said in unison: "That's it."

To the southwest of the distribution center is the original river channel of the dam-broken reservoir. There is an ancient and intact arched railway bridge on the river channel. The railway bridge is 15 meters higher than the river and the land on the shore, and the total length is about 200 meters. Judging from the topography, the railway bridge is also connected to the railway viaduct all the way into the mountains. It is probably the railway tracks laid to transport ore or timber into the mountains in the early industrial era.

The railway tracks on the viaduct have been removed, and the viaduct near the mountain forest is covered with green trees and weeds. There are no traces of humans at all from the drone footage.

There is a 12-car green train parked on the railway bridge. The locomotive is an antique internal combustion engine locomotive that was common at the beginning of the last century.

This train was the shelter that Lin Wu and Shana fell in love with at first sight.

This shelter has many advantages. The first advantage: It is separated from the complex terrain of the distribution center, has only one railway track, and has a wide view. Barbed wire and other items can be used to build entrance doors, which can effectively ensure the safety of the shelter.

The second advantage is that the shelter faces west and you can enter the mountains along the viaduct. Not to mention whether there are prey in the mountains, there is definitely water.

The third advantage is that there is a large area of ​​land on the west-facing viaduct of the shelter, and earth can be transported here for planting and breeding.

The fourth advantage is that it is one kilometer away from the distribution center warehouse, three kilometers away from the distribution center railway, and is close to the resource area, which is conducive to the development of the shelter.

The fifth advantage is that there is a big river below, and fisheries can be developed when food is scarce.

After the two discussed it, Shanna called a meeting.

Shanna drew pictures to illustrate the location of the shelter and explained the geography. The bad news is that although the distribution center is close to a river, the geographical location is relatively high, so there is no water logging near the distribution center, and there are only some puddles. The floods brought all the zombies outdoors into the city. There are many trains, warehouses and other buildings in the distribution center, and a considerable proportion of zombies still remain in the distribution center. At present, some zombies have left the building and appear in the area around the distribution center. The zombie density is higher than previously expected.

Shanna explained: "My plan is to form a three-person team to set off first and clear the route. The team is also responsible for reconnaissance and bridge building. After the large force sets off, the team can communicate and command through satellite phones. This is also A plan based on the current team’s specific injury situation.”

Shana said: "The team will set off immediately after the rain stops, use a rubber boat to reach the distribution center, and then walk to the railway bridge. They will carry out preliminary work of collecting food and firewood. It is up to the team to decide how to do it. The team is equipped with pistols, and the team is equipped with pistols. Assault rifles. We need to save part of the rations for the team, and we also need to prioritize the team’s clothing and shoes.”

Shana said: "Lin Wu will be the team leader, and there are still two places left."

Lin Wu said: "The team has a lot of work. It needs to explore the surrounding buildings and carriages. It will inevitably be a head-on confrontation with zombies along the way, which will definitely be very dangerous. Put your hands down."

Lin Meng insisted on raising his hand: "I am signing up."

Lin Wu said: "In addition to not being afraid of death, the team must also have relatively good comprehensive abilities. Xiao Dao was originally one of the best candidates, but due to Xiao Dao's physical condition, he is temporarily excluded from the mission."

Lin Meng, who was euphemistically despised, could only pouting in anger without refuting. Of course she knew that Lin Wu was telling the truth. In the final period of the game, she honed her marksmanship, never thinking that cold weapons would be the way to go in the last six months. Although she practiced nunchucks every day or two, she really didn't dare to use this killer weapon in Houtian City. After all, this thing might kill a thousand enemies and injure two thousand yourself.

Xiaodao nodded in response to Lin Wu's statement. She didn't want to talk now. Vomiting and diarrhea had left her dehydrated and suffering from electrolyte imbalance.

A voice like a gossamer stone asked: "Do you need me?"

Lin Meng: "Uncle, he already despises me, why would he want me?"

Shitou said in a desperate tone: "Get uncle a cup of hot water."

Lin Meng took a cup and poured water on the stone.

Xuedan asked: "Can I?"

Lin Wu nodded: "Of course."

Su Shi: "I would like to go." But he was also sick.

Lin Wu and Shana didn't want to hear Shitou's last remaining words, nor did they want to see Lin Meng raise his hand to seek death. They knew that all the Shadowmen were willing to go, but the most suitable candidate was NPC Xiao Wu. As NPCs, Xiao Wu's understanding of death was similar to that of ordinary people, and was very different from that of the Shadow People, so Lin Wu did not mention Xiao Wu by name. If Xiao Wu wants to go, then go. If Xiao Wu doesn't want to, he can understand.

Asking himself, if it were not a game but reality, Lin Wu didn't think he would have more courage than Xiao Wu.

Shana needs to stay in the main force, so if Xiao Wu doesn't take the initiative to sign up, the third person can only choose Lin Meng. Lin Meng was sick, but the condition was the mildest. He was in good spirits, energetic, and could eat and defecate. Lin Meng was injured, but the injury was the least severe. Her thoughts and gossip spirit kept her full of fighting spirit and motivation. It's just that the combat power, especially the melee combat power, is really not good enough.

Xiao Wu raised his hand and asked, "Can I?"

Lin Wu nodded: "Of course." Xiao Wu's registration was expected, but considering yesterday's experience and workload, Lin Wu thought Xiao Wu would be somewhat hesitant. The world of soaking in water, with a lot of work and endless dangers, is much crueler than sitting by the fire in a daze.

Shana helped the team prepare travel supplies, and together with Xiao Wen, helped the three of them put their wet clothes and shoes by the fire. Lin Wu and the others were not idle either. They got into the smelly water and went to retrieve the bench from the bottom of the water. During this period, we also received more than a dozen packages of candles.

By the afternoon, the rain had subsided and the water level in the church had dropped, exposing the windows on the first floor of the church. This is not a good thing. Without the water changing window, the water on the first floor of the church is almost stagnant. At around 5 p.m., the visual system reminded players that the water was contaminated by the virus. This is water that can turn you into a zombie with just one sip, but even if there is no system prompt, no one would drink water filled with zombies and rotting corpses.

"The moon is out."

Su Shi at the window said that although it was still raining outside, a crescent moon appeared in the sky in the distance, which meant that the rain was about to end.

Lin Wu glanced at the moon and asked Xiao Wu and Xue Dan to check the supplies again. Then the three of them lay down next to the fire and covered them with dry cloths to sleep.

In the early morning, as the sun rose, the chirping of birds came from the roof of the church. Xiaodao and Xiaowen were making a fire to cook. They cooked a pot of dry rice, made rice balls with plastic wrap, and put them in a waterproof box for the team to eat.

The backpacks, dry clothes and shoes of Lin Wu and the others were completely dry. After a simple meal of rice and pickles, the three of them put down a rubber boat loaded with supplies, waved goodbye to everyone on the rubber boat, and headed southwest. .
