Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 312 Armored Train

Grass taller than a person covers the entire mountain range, and the few trees become a foil to the wild grass.

More than a dozen people were dressed in tatters. Some areas were patched with cloth woven from sisal-soaked linen silk. Some of them even wore a piece of linen cloth around their lower bodies. Their naked upper bodies were cut out by blades of grass as they moved forward in the grass.

There are traces of red and fishy smell.

Each of them carried a spear on his back and a mountain knife on his waist, and advanced through the grass that was taller than a person. The leader kept splitting the grass and stepped on the dense grass. From

The long traces of walking behind them extended to far, far away places, showing that they came here from far away places.

Weeds are not easy to cut, they are extremely smooth, and with one slash of the knife, there are not many weeds that can be chopped down.

Perhaps because he was tired from chopping, the strong man at the head stopped and said, "Mad Cow, it's you who will open the way."

The man known as the mad cow was as tall as a bull and had a naive smile on his face. Without saying a word, he pulled out the mountain sword from his waist and slashed it on the grass in front of him.

The grass was flying, and a large area of ​​weeds was cut down. It was like a bulldozer, and the efficiency was much higher than that of the strong man who just started.

"Look at you, Mad Cow, and you are an honest person. Damn it, you turned out to be someone who was led astray."

The leader began to curse, he touched his blistered palms, looked at the people behind him who were laughing evilly, and said: "No, everyone will take turns in a while, you can't do this work alone. He

Damn it, why can’t I remember the strength of a mad cow? He is definitely as strong as an ox. If I had known, I would have let him do this job."

The people below did not dare to make a sound and all went forward in silence.

Soon, after crossing two mountains, standing on a cliff, you can see a railway crossing the mountains on the side of the mountain.

"Mingzi, are you sure you heard the sound of the train?" The strong man at the head looked at the overgrown railway and frowned: "What if I find out that you lied to all of us and went through so much trouble to get there?"

Here, I have to tear you alive."

The person called Mingzi was a young man in his mid-twenties, Cao Chongming was his name. Hearing the words of the leader of his group, who had just been calling Li Tai, he shrank his neck and said

: "Boss, how could I dare to make fun of you? I did hear the sound of a train."

Mad Cow's character was a bit straightforward. He blinked, inserted his machete, and said, "I don't understand, there will still be trains in this world."

Li Tai gave him a fierce look and said, "Mad cow, you know nothing. There are many people alive like us in this world. Maybe the zombies have been wiped out by humans long ago." He just thought of where he lived.

In a very far away town, zombies were still rampant, so his words seemed a bit guilty.

Fortunately, Mad Cow's temperament is not to be aggressive, so he didn't fight back at all, but just giggled beside him.

A group of more than a dozen people cut a runway out of the mountains and descended to the edge of the railway. Li Tai, a rough guy, imitated Sherlock Holmes and pretended to conduct reconnaissance: "In a few years, this railway should be long.

It is full of rust spots, but there is a track mark that was obviously pressed out recently, which should be proof that a train has passed by. Looking at these weeds again, there is nothing surprising about their appearance, but let’s see, the height of the weeds, the train

When driving, it will definitely overwhelm them... Look, there are some broken ones here!"

There is no doubt that this evidence that can be seen at a glance made Li Tai, a slut, get flattered by the team members, which made him feel wonderful.

Mad Cow scratched his head and said: "Head, I have heard of legends about ghost trains. Do you think it could be this train... This train is controlled by ghosts, just like the pirate skeleton ship. They come

Going to Wuying?"

Cao Chongming and the others shuddered, and even in broad daylight, they felt chills all over their bodies. The creepy feeling made them doubt whether what Mad Cow said was true.

Li Tai gave the mad cow a meal of beans and beat him until he hugged his head and ran away, saying: "You mad cow, stop scaring people here. If it is really controlled by ghosts, why have we lived in this area for six years?

But I have never heard the sound of a train appearing?" He looked up at the straight railway, which seemed to lead to the end of the sky. The group of people on the railway looked so small.

It seemed that the morale of the entire group was a little low. After all, no one knew when this train would appear.

Speaking of which, the place where Li Tai and the others live is in this endless mountain forest. There are only about a hundred people in total. They hide in this mountain forest to avoid the pursuit of zombies and work hard. What they do all day long is ordinary things.

Three meals. In this small mountain village of more than a hundred people, there is no entertainment. The only few women have become the princesses in the hearts of all men...

Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer people in the small mountain village, not because of death, but because they couldn't bear it anymore and went out to look for other human beings who might exist, but there was no news. According to Li Tai

, they have become a member of the zombies, how can there be any news?

The sound of the train that Cao Chongming heard made Li Tai, after thinking hard for a few days, decided to bring a group of his brothers over to see what was going on, because he had had enough of the life in the small mountain village, it was completely like a breeding ground.

Same, if you stay here any longer, you will definitely go crazy.

The group of people walked on the iron road for a while, and from time to time they could see engine oil falling in the weeds.

They had no direction, so they just walked along the railway. When they were tired, the group sat down to rest and eat the rough cakes they had brought.

Li Tai didn't know what he was walking about. He just wanted to walk like this. If he didn't gain anything, he still needed to return to the small village in the mountains in the afternoon, because their roots were in the small village. Here

In the last days, they will be homeless, and this mountain will be their home.

Sitting on the railway track, Li Tai had just finished eating half a piece of cake when he felt an imperceptible tremor coming from the railway track.

"There is a situation..."

Li Tai stood up suddenly, put half of the cake back into his pocket, lay down on the railway track, put his ear close to it, and listened carefully. After a while, he became excited and said: "There is something moving on the railway track, it should be a train.

That’s right, only trains run on the railway.”

The other people became happy, rubbing their hands one by one and looking towards both ends of the railway.

Li Tai calmed down and said: "What Mad Cow said just now is not unreasonable. Let's hide for a while and confirm that it is a human train. It won't be too late for us to come out."

Cao Chongming said worriedly: "But first of all, if the train passes by all of a sudden, I don't know how long it will take to wait."

Li Tai thought it was right. After thinking about it for a while, he used a mountain knife to cut down a small tree nearby, peeled it, and inserted it on the edge of the railway. He took off his clothes and hung them on the side of the railway.

On the branch, he said: "If it's a human, they will definitely find this. If it's a ghost, they will just drive past. You all follow the instructions and go faster."

More than a dozen people took off their clothes, propped them up with branches, and lined up in a row beside the railway.

The unique sound of the train was faintly heard. Li Tai gave a look, and everyone retreated off the railway and hid in the dense bushes nearby.

On an extremely distant railway, a train with only six cars was traveling at a medium speed, maintaining a distance of 80 kilometers. But it was not a train in the traditional sense, because its six cars were all surrounded by steel, exposing

What came out were all gun barrels and a large number of machine gun shooting holes.

Looking from a distance, it looks like six round hills are moving.

In fact, it is an armored train with powerful firepower, long-lasting driving ability, and strong defensive capabilities.

Armored trains should be said to be a product of World War I and World War II. They were one of the most difficult armored weapons to deal with at that time. Especially with the addition of a large number of artillery, armored trains could suppress fire on targets.

The accessibility of railways also provides armored trains with a more flexible way of movement, allowing them to appear in many places to provide mobile fire support.

As long as you have watched movies about World War I and World War II, especially the domestic railway guerrillas, you can know how powerful armored trains were at that time.

Since the railway was restored and opened, and the first transport train was put into use, safety on the railway has become the most urgent matter. Because during the clearing of nests, there will still be some zombies, or as time goes by

As time goes by, new zombies will move around the railway, and these are all issues that need to be considered.

In order to ensure the safety of the railway, it is somewhat unrealistic to send military airships or fighter planes for protection.

The speed of transport trains is generally between 100 kilometers and 120 kilometers per hour. However, the clumsiness of military airships, lack of air defense capabilities, and the speed of fighter planes make it impossible for them to become a guarantee of safety on the railway.

At the beginning, some machine gun turrets were welded on the transport trains and soldiers were sent to protect them, but this did not meet the requirements of the railway firepower fulcrum. So the armored trains of World War I and World War II were proposed, and this manufacturing armored train

The task also fell to the armor manufacturing factory.

In order to put it into use quickly, of course it is impossible for the armor factory to manufacture a whole new train, so in the train station, a broken locomotive was found and overhauled. On the other hand, some flat carriages were manufactured using the simplest method.

, this is to drive the Sand Snake tanks into these flat carriages and use them directly as a turret.

The first armored train was produced in this way. Except for the locomotive, the other sections were all equipped with tanks to form an attack force.

After testing, this simple armored train can display huge combat capabilities. The machine gun fire of the Sand Snake tank and the fire suppression of the main gun are both very good. At least it meets the firepower requirements of the armored train.

However, in the end, this armored train was still attached to the tail section of the transport train, forming a simple armed transport train.

With the powerful capabilities of the armor manufacturing plant, in just half a month, with all its strength, the first real armored train began to enter the line and appeared on the railway.

It consists of six sections, and its whole body is surrounded by round heavy steel. After testing, at least the main gun of the Sand Snake tank cannot penetrate its armor. Moreover, the artillery installed for these six armored trains is much smaller than that of the tank.

Come, it is much more flexible. As the space becomes larger, more machine gun holes can be provided, making the firepower more fierce.

More importantly, the thick armor is enough to ensure the safety of the soldiers inside. If the iron door of the carriage is not opened, it is impossible for zombies to attack the soldiers inside.

After a simple test, this armored train was officially put into use alone. It is equipped with communication functions and radar functions, and is an independent railway combat force. It will be responsible for cleaning up all problems on the railway, surrounding and dealing with zombies, and maintaining

Railway security, guarding some transfer stations, etc.

As its first commander, Fu Chengying, as a woman, assumes the important task of supreme commander.

Fu Chengying is the only surviving train conductor in the chamber of commerce. She is in her forties and has rich experience in train command. At the same time, she also learned some military skills in the apocalypse. The combination of the two made her

She was able to seize the position of supreme commander of the first armored train among many elites in one fell swoop.

According to some common practices in the apocalypse, zombies will not move around in mountains like these, and the railway is still very safe.

But Fu Chengying did not dare to take it lightly. For the first actual operation, the armored train needed to successfully reach Lenghu and then return from Lenghu to Qingyuan City. In this process, theoretically there would be no accidents, but the unpredictability of the end of the world

, no one can predict it, so she has to be careful.

Just as she thought, something was discovered on the first armored car of the armored train. On the railway in front, there was a row of tattered clothes of various colors. This situation was quickly passed to Fu Chengying, and she decisively ordered the armored

The train stopped and all combat units were notified to enter combat status.

The armored train was not originally very fast, and the number of carriages was small. With an emergency brake, the armored train stopped in just a moment.

Through the observation system on the armored train, no movement was detected in this area. However, careful observers still discovered that these branches with branches and leaves had been cut down not long ago.

In fact, Li Tai and the others were stunned when the armored train appeared.

Everyone has seen trains, but this is the first time they have seen armored trains. After all, the history of armored trains is too long, and there are very few TV movies about armored trains. Many people have never seen them.

I have been to this kind of armored train.

"Head, what on earth is this?"

Mad Cow's question, Li Tai thought for a moment and said with certainty: "This should be an armored train, just his grandma's. This thing only appeared during World War I and World War II. After that, because of its various defects,

If it was replaced, why would an armored train appear?"

What Cao Chongming cares most about is whether the train is controlled by a ghost.

But the answer soon appeared. In one of the armored carriages, an iron door opened, and a small group of soldiers jumped out. On guard, they walked towards the hung clothes.

"The head is a person, a person..."

Naturally, it was impossible to hide the roar of the mad cow. Amidst the shouts of this small group of soldiers, the shirtless Li Tai and others could only awkwardly walk out of their hiding place and shouted: "No.

Shoot, don’t shoot, your own people, your own people.”

Next, Li Tai and others were naturally brought to Fu Chengying. After asking about their situation and confirming their settlement, Fu Chengying was familiar with the road and called the Railway Department to report the situation of this small settlement.

The Ministry of Railways submitted it to the Chamber of Commerce.

Compared with the uniforms of armored trains, Li Tai and the others were dressed like beggars. This made them wonder how these people did it and what the outside world was like. Don't they need to face it?

To the zombies?

Fu Chengying did not leave with Li Tai and the dozen or so people. After all, this was a military armored train with limited space inside, and his destination was Cold Lake. However, Fu Chengying believed that as long as they returned to the small mountain village where they lived, they would be at most

In two days, the Chamber of Commerce's transport airship will arrive and rescue them back to Qingyuan City.

In fact, this is also the second wave of similar incidents that Fu Chengying has encountered. Because this type of residential area in the mountains is too small, consisting of more than a dozen, dozens, or hundreds of people, it is easy for the exploration airship to miss it.

The movement of the train was not small, so they would naturally notice it and appear in the sight of the Chamber of Commerce.

No one knows how many people of this small type exist on this land, but what is certain is that they are definitely not very few.

For the Chamber of Commerce, everyone is a treasure that should not be given up. Therefore, in response to the eagerness for quick success and quick gains of some explorers, the Chamber of Commerce has once again made regulations that regardless of the size of the settlement, any explorer should pay attention to and discover

In the case of an incident similar to abandonment, the explorer's qualifications will be revoked and all medals obtained will be revoked. In serious cases, the person may be sentenced to death.

With the complete opening of the railway, the three transport trains put into use for oil transportation also announced that the Chamber of Commerce no longer needs to stop military expansion operations for the sake of oil.

As a result, the two major aircraft manufacturers and the armored equipment factory, which had slowly stopped manufacturing, began to produce at full capacity again. And new weapons research was included in the research schedule one by one. Strictly speaking, the various research studies of the Chamber of Commerce began.

It is moving from imitation to research and development, and is breaking away from the weapons of any country in the world. It is embarking on a path of weapon application that is consistent with the apocalyptic environment.

It seems that the sufficient supply of oil has made the Chamber of Commerce become ambitious.
