The fleet was driving on the river and just entered the Yangtze River. There were seven or eight cargo ships on the river barge Wharf at the exit. They were all kinds of bulk carriers, carrying sand, coal, containers and steel building materials.
At the first sight of these ships, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that he had found a second hidden warehouse. The first hidden warehouse was the highway, and the second hidden warehouse was the whole Yangtze River.
Compared with road transportation and air transportation, waterway transportation has too many advantages. The time is not slow, the transportation volume is large, and the cost is relatively low. The whole Yangtze River itself is a busy freight hub. Countless cargo ships shuttle across the Yangtze River to the sea. There are countless freight terminals and container terminals along the way.
The cool wind on the river made everyone feel a rare ease. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the map in his hand and pondered. From the map, although they walked by water, they only walked a third of the way. In a few hours, they would arrive at night. No matter what, they could not get to the shipyard. It was urgent to find a safe camp.
Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that there are many sandbanks on the Yangtze River. Sandbanks are surrounded by the river. Apart from the local zombies, there are no other zombies who can go to the sandbanks. Maybe the sandbanks are a good place to settle down. Of course, what should we do in the hours before that····
There is a wharf at the exit of Changgang. The wharf area is not small and there are not many buildings, Mounds of hill like sand, pebbles and pebbles are all over the whole wharf area. Occasionally, piles of various building materials can be seen between various high transmission tracks.
Relatively speaking, the dock area is a relatively safe area. Unfortunately, it is far from meeting the requirements of Zhang Xiaoqiang. He needs ships to stop beside the barges at the dock. Zhang Xiaoqiang's fleet seems to be large, but it's a pity that the ship is too small. The people on the ship are crowded, and they have to pile up all kinds of ammunition and materials, even if they are sitting on the ship, They are tired to the limit.
The bulk carriers parked beside the barges are relatively large. Compared with Zhang Xiaoqiang's boats refitted with various kinds of boats, they are like monsters in front of them. Explorer 001 slowly approaches the cargo ships. Among the seven or eight ships, four are loaded with goods, most of which are coal. One is loaded with sharp pebbles. A single barge is equipped with a sharp bottomed oil tanker, which is pointed at one end and flat at the other, The middle of the coffin is welded with steel plate, and various thick or thin pipes are all over it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's goal is to catch all the ships. He stands at the bow of the ship and watches the ship approach. Beside him stands Huang Quan, CHEN Ye, and five search team members. CHEN Ye is completely recovered and is assigned to the search team by Zhang Xiaoqiang. With Huang Quan's intention, this action does not need Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands. Huang Quan is responsible for everything, He began to learn to think about the whole thing.
"Touch... Ship collision, still shaking, one by one members of the team jumped to the opposite ship, a figure soared into the air, holding Jingwei sword of CHEN Ye across the heads of the people, steadily fell on the opposite side of the ship, a foot wide side of the ship even shaking.
CHEN Ye comes first, carrying Jingwei sword, and rushes to the building on the surface of the ship. Behind her, she follows the search team who carries sword and shield. On the contrary, the actual commander Huang Quan falls behind.
Standing on the front deck, Zhang Xiaoqiang looks at them and involuntarily holds the trigger of the anti-aircraft machine gun. At any time, unexpected accidents may happen. Even if he is sure, Zhang Xiaoqiang does not dare to be careless. This is the habit and instinct learned from the struggle of the last life.
Seven people rushed into the building on the surface of the ship one after another. Without time, Huang Quan ran out and waved to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang wondered, is there something strange about such a broken ship?
The front of the ship was always facing the crowd, and it looked intact. When we got to the bridge inside, we could see the river at the stern of the ship through a huge hole. The stairs welded with steel bars twisted and fell off. They curved into the shape of camel's back between the second floor and the first floor, It is also like the ghost claw of qiuqu.
The huge hole is on the wall behind the stairs. The building on the ship's surface is made of thick wood and sheet metal. The originally embedded sheet metal and sheet metal are cracked, deformed, and the debris of wood is scattered all over the ground. The open sheet metal is rolled into a roll like shape. The red, green, and yellow wires are twisted on the floor. Countless thread ends are dazzling.
"When..." Zhang Xiaoqiang kicked away the small metal box in front of him, stepped on the messy pieces of wood, bypassed the tangled wires, and went to the wall. He stretched out his head and looked out of the hole. Just as he stretched out his head, a cool wind swept his face. There was a peculiar fishy smell of the river in the wind. To the eye, it was the deck behind the stern of the ship and the rolling river not far away.
The back deck was covered with dust, and a thick drag mark passed through the whole deck from the hole to the center of the river. Wires entangled and dragged to the outside, and extended to the river along the drag mark. The ship fluctuated on the river, and the dragging wires twisted on the deck with the ship's undulation, which seemed to be alive.
"Did you find anything unusual when you came in?"Zhang Xiaoqiang stepped back, straightened up and asked the people present. His fingers were still touching the broken hole and measuring the thickness of the wall.
Huang Quan shook his head. When they got into the boat, they saw the huge hole. Before, like Zhang Xiaoqiang, he put out his head and looked at it. When he felt something wrong, he went back outside and informed Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the direction of the second floor above his head. Although the stairs were rolled into scrap iron, the two-story building seemed to be in good condition. When Zhang Xiaoqiang thought about whether to go up and have a look, CHEN Ye spoke.
"I didn't see a zombie when I came in. There are pieces of clothes here, and there should be zombies. I can't rule out that zombies fall into the water outside, but I also found this thing."
CHEN Ye quickly handed the scales to Zhang Xiaoqiang. The scales were bluish black, dull, rhombic, with smooth four corners and light texture. Holding them in his hands, they were like nothing. He tried to be tough, but found that the scales were of good material, with high hardness and enough toughness. Even Zhang Xiaoqiang bent the scales in half to 30 degrees, Scales can also remain unbroken, even after the restoration of a fold print are useless.
"Bang Bang..." Zhang Xiaoqiang played the scales with his fingers and made a few dull sounds like cardboard. Then Zhang Xiaoqiang received the scales in his pocket, took out his walkie talkie and gave the order:
"All attention... Observe the river and the side of the ship at any time. All personnel prepare for the first level battle, If you see something wrong, fire at me
The freighters and barges parked in the dock area were all attacked by unknown mutants. It seems that this unknown aquatic mutant does not like to go through the main entrance. Almost all the hull of the ship is twisted out of a big hole by it. However, the two empty ships parked at the most edge have not been attacked. Maybe the ship itself has no zombies.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood at the top of the cab and looked around the river. Hundreds of long drag marks left deep marks on the ground. Zhang Xiaoqiang's scalp was numb. He didn't know whether it was left by a mutant animal or dozens of mutant animals. Obviously, the Yangtze River was not safe
