Chapter 998

"Kalala..."

The iron bridge, which once carried the hope of 100000 people, was corroded. The corroded and deformed iron bridge could not bear the weight of the bridge. It cut off the river, which was full of corpses. On the side of the river, there were still living people howling. The shrill call came to the ears of people on the bank. No one moved. They looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang sitting on the military vehicle.

Zhang Xiaoqiang first looked at the zombies in the opposite gathering place. After a long time, he regained his consciousness and saw that other people were looking at him. He also heard the miserable people crying for help in the river below. Zhang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and finally said:

"Give them a hand..."

There are a lot of people calling for help below. Most of the leg bones are broken, and some of the lucky ones are not injured. There are natural moats on both sides. They hope to get help. They thought they would die, but they don't know that Zhang Xiaoqiang killed Z2 and opened their way of life. These people who are determined to die also have hope of life, but they don't have the chance of life.

They hope that the people who cross the river can save them. In their hoarse call, the heads on the other side finally appear. When they see the heads, they call louder, until a crossbow and arrow pierce their chest.

The sound of calling in the river turned from scream to depression. The zombies on the other side of the river began to rush into the bridge. Seeing the dense zombies rushing towards the bridge, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned to Huang Quan and said:

"Let's go..."

Finally, everyone is glad that they can live to a new starting point. Only Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that everything has just begun.

Behind them, countless zombies were attracted by the bloody smell under the bridge and rushed down the river. Countless zombies were washed away by the torrent. Countless zombies fell on the beach and were killed by the zombies falling from behind. A small number of zombies were buried with their bodies when they ate the first bite of fresh meat.

There are some Z-shaped zombies in the form of Z2 zombies and their D2 guards waiting quietly in the center of the gathering place. Behind the wall behind them, the zombies like ants marching still gather here. Occasionally, there are Z-shaped zombies riding D2 zombies, and the boundless zombies extend all the way to wh.

A long line of people struggled on the cement road before the end of the world. From time to time, some people left the line and ran to the nearby mountains, fields and houses to look for food. Some people never came back, while others returned to the crowd with enough food to exchange food for a new identity and become formal members of the team.

For the food provided by the poor people, the motorcade collected all the food according to the order, no matter whether the food was moldy or not, and no matter whether there was still blood on the food bags.

No one knows how many people leave the team and die in the mountains. No one knows how many people leave the team to make a living. No one knows how many starving bodies the rear body collection team will burn every day.

In this regard, all people choose to ignore, they just forward, forward, one forward, or can not survive, fell on the side of the road to become a corpse.

Zhang Xiaoqiang has long been indifferent to the corpses on the roadside. After all, his hands are stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people. Those who have been beheaded, those who have escaped from the gathering place, those who have been killed by him by the lakeside, and those who have been shot by Li Zhi in the village are all on his head.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to be a hero, and he didn't expect to save 100000 lives. He first became a butcher who killed more than 10000 people. In the past, although his subordinates were not too close to him, they would not be afraid of him. Now, every time he appeared, many people were scared out of their wits. Zhang Xiaoqiang was very helpless, and he also found that, for some reason, He can always feel that he seems to be filled with a faint smell of blood. He can't tell whether it is psychological or not. Sometimes, just a slight frown can make the soldiers around him tremble.

It was the afternoon of the next day. It had been 24 hours since we got away from the gathering place, but the speed of the motorcade was not fast. More than 10000 people were killed by Zhang Xiaoqiang in the gathering place, including those who defected, those who attacked the riverside wharf and those who entered the gathering place.

Two long-distance migrations, plus 20000 survivors transferred to Huzhong Island, nearly 13000 of them were captured by zombies after they died in battle or fled in the gathering place, about 10000 of them died under the bridge and killed by Lizhi, and about 10000 of them died in the wild. At present, the scale of the motorcade is about 70000, It's exactly half the population they had when they entered the gathering place.

That is to say, the gathering place lost about 50000 people in this retreat blocking operation, and not only that, we should know that Zhang Xiaoqiang also brought back thousands of people from Tianxingzhou.

The population of 70000 is only half of the total population, but it is a disaster for a group of survivors who have no tools to hand over the work to migrate on the road of two or three hundred kilometers. The distance between the front and back of the team has reached dozens of kilometers. The front has reached the edge of the town recovered by huangquan, while the rear guard is less than 20 kilometers away from the gathering place.To be exact, if they didn't, they would be only four hours away from the Zombie's vanguard.

According to the report of the investigation force, at the exit of the gathering place, after the sea of zombies had no effect on filling the river with tens of thousands of zombies, they stopped for a while. This is good news for them. However, some people saw that the zombies in the gathering place seemed to be reorganizing, more and more scattered zombies were gathered up, and more zombies poured into the gathering place through the wall.

This makes Zhang Xiaoqiang understand that the shrinkage of zombies is only temporary. When zombies form a scale again, Z-shaped zombies will rush across the bridge with zombies and rush towards them. At that time, unless they cross the river, they will always be followed by zombies.

There are two roads. One is to cross the river and let the whole Yangtze River serve as a natural moat. The other is to escape on land and take zombies to other places.

The second one is the supplement to the first one. You know, there are not many magnanimous ships along the Yangtze River. Even if they do their best to collect them, they can't send 70000 people across the river in a few days, and the zombies are behind them. In this way, we can return to the origin and time.

If there is not enough time to send the people across the river, the rest of the people will become the bait for the zombies. The zombies are still a mountain on their heads. Although they rush out of the gathering place at a huge cost, the road ahead is still unpredictable, and they have to carry the burden of tens of thousands of survivors.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Zhang Xiaoqiang subconsciously lightened the burden on him. Those poor people who had no value for the time being were the burden he slowly reduced.

The long journey is the elimination race against the poor. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't supplement food for the poor. The great thing is to provide the worst food for the women and children who are mixed in the poor. They can only eat it face to face.

This is what Zhang Huai'an secretly does behind Zhang Xiaoqiang's back. Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally knows what Zhang Huai'an does, but he just turns a blind eye as if he doesn't know.

At the end of the day, more than 200 corpses were found on the roadside. Most of them were men, women and children, who had been hungry for too long.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoqiang still pretends not to know, food shortage, they can't let tens of thousands of people to eat, there is still a long way to the base, the consumption of food is even more massive, and even if they arrive at the base, a month later, the base can't take extra food to support tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Xiaoqiang has a bottom line. Before crossing the river, it is the elimination race. Only after everyone crosses the river, can they supply materials equally, because there is a large lake with abundant materials on the opposite side of the river. Before that, in addition to the civilians and soldiers, the poor can't care about it.

Another reason is that Zhang Xiaoqiang is forcing them. People are always afraid of the unknown. They are used to keeping their current life. If Zhang Xiaoqiang does not force them, they will never have the courage to go to the wild to find food.

Although the end of the world has brought many vegetation withered due to lack of water, it does not mean that no food can be found in the wild. There are a lot of cold weapons in the motorcade, and the poor can rent them with the materials they find.

Close to wh, it is an economically developed area with a relatively high population density. In the past, after several searches by the search team, a large number of scattered zombies were killed by 90%. Although a large amount of grain could not be found, there were many small items that the search team could not see. As long as they dared to fight against those scattered zombies, they could always find food.

Zhang Xiaoqiang is right. In the vast area, there are all kinds of materials, such as moldy grain, feed for farms, leather shoes, belts and leather bags in stores. As long as they are leather, they can eat them, rat food in vole holes in the fields, mutant insects in humid areas, and small mutant animals with weak attack power.

Most people just haven't experienced it. Once they fight for survival, their explosive power is terrifying. Hungry people's demand for food is unlimited. After they burst out their greatest desire and action, within three kilometers on both sides of the kilometer, all the food they can eat is looted by hungry people.

At the beginning, some people were stiff because of fear and were eaten by zombies. Some people found food and were killed by their companions. Others found food and took some people to seek another life. After a whole day of differentiation and integration, they were surprised to find that they could find more food than they thought.

Although most of the food is rough, even some can only be used as daily necessities in the past, but in the end, as long as it can fill the stomach, what is not acceptable.

When there was too much food, they couldn't finish it and couldn't take it with them. Some people used food to beg for help from the motorcade, hoping to get their official identities. In the motorcade, their official identities were the same as those of the militia. They were the new identities of the 28000 remaining melee regiments in the gathering place. They had been recognized by Zhang Xiaoqiang, In the future, it will also be incorporated into the reserve system to form a second-line Corps
