Some time ago, when large teams were evacuated, they didn't have to drive at night, but now it's different. Everyone can only sleep four hours a day, and they have to drive at other times. After feeding the poor, Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered that along the way at night, they use the firewood they collected to light a bonfire, so that the poor and men can drive by the faint light of the bonfire at night.
Some people can't stand it. They sleep by the side of the road. When they open their eyes in the morning, they suddenly find that he is the only one on the long road. If he can't catch up with the big army in the shortest time, and there is no food or water, he will be used as bait by the blocking soldiers behind to buy time for the motorcade.
After three days, most of the people had passed through the armory, and huangquan also knocked down the riverside and joined the two teams there.
After arriving at the riverside, the steamboat immediately began to operate. First, it transported all kinds of cannons and ammunition across the river. The ammunition depot outside the armory was beyond imagination. When people were in it and looked at the ammunition boxes neatly stacked around them, they didn't feel it. When they moved all the ammunition out, they found that the inventory of the whole ammunition depot reached several thousand tons.
For the safety of ammunition, all vehicles carrying ammunition can not be overweight. Therefore, even if most of the grain is stored in the warehouse of the ferry terminal, the vehicles still have to go back and forth several times.
Moreover, crossing the river is also a troublesome thing, because we have been informed for a long time that several teams of guards at the Qidu wharf sent the oil originally stored in the warehouse across the river first, and some ship parts were also sent across the river. However, they spent a whole week busy with all this, although the shortage of manpower was one of the reasons, The most important reason is that the transport capacity of ships is not so high.
The steamer ferry carries a lot of goods at one time. Five hundred people and ten big cars can be transported at one time, but the speed of crossing the river can't be too fast. It takes at least an hour to go back and forth.
Even if it doesn't stop for 24 hours, it can only run 20 times. That is to say, the largest personnel can transfer up to 10000 people every day. Under Zhang Xiaoqiang's command, there are more than 70000 survivors, more than 2000 logistics personnel, and 8000 armed personnel after expansion. It takes eight days just to transport these personnel across the river, not counting the materials and food they find, If we only send people but not materials, it will be a disaster waiting for them after crossing the river.
Moreover, the most lethal place is not far away from them. There are many residential areas near the ferry pier. The residential areas are equivalent to the villages and towns in the past, but the economy here is more prosperous and has changed to urbanization, so the zombies inside are more swept on the road and the terrain is more complex than before, In addition to the dense buildings like these residential areas, there is a city dozens of kilometers away from them. I believe that there are at least hundreds of thousands of zombies in it. In case of cooperation with the zombie sea, huangquan can't think of going on.
In addition, their luck is not good. The second batch of ships to pick up people from the base just passed. If they are late, they can gather the ships to deliver the people first. If they are early, the round-trip time will be shortened. Now they have to wait a week before the third batch of ships can return to the ferry.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the road from the weapons depot to the riverside has been completely cleared. In addition to leaving 3000 people to build positions more than 20 kilometers behind the ferry, the remaining soldiers can be put into the rear to join in the fight against the zombies. As long as all the survivors are transferred to the ferry, more soldiers and labor can be used, and the positions can be built more completely.
When Huang Quan had to command the ferry, the long road was filled with people. At the end of the crowd, Zhang Xiaoqiang accepted the 1000 soldiers who had been withdrawn from the ferry.
The refitting of roadside bombs is coming to an end. All the ammunition and weapons piled up outside the armory have been pulled away. More than 100 guns are waiting to be sent across the river, except for a part of the artillery position on the periphery of the ferry.
The arrival of thousands of soldiers also solved the shortage of manpower. Four bombs were arranged in a group in a trap in the direction of zombies. The power of a group of shells was 100 to 150 square meters. The roadside bombs modified by Wang Le reached more than 1000 groups. According to the set standard, they could cover an area of one square kilometer at most.
Of course, one square kilometer is about one million square meters. Such a large area of flat land can't be found on the side of the armory with complex terrain. Zhang Xiaoqiang sent people to pile up the bombs along the mountains and rocks on both sides of the road, and then put half of the bombs in the slightly gentle places.
Then, with the help of the armory, he led people to build a wall. This wall is no better than the second wall of the gathering place. It's just a bean curd project, all kinds of scrapped car engines, or all the sundries that can be found in the armory, some sand packed in sacks. These walls are surrounded by a two kilometer wide low wall with holes everywhere, Not to mention blocking the zombies, even the slightly thinner pigs can't block it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't expect things to really play a role. He just needs to block the zombies a little. Before the zombies have crossed the wall, he tries to gather at the gate of the armory. When the zombies have accumulated a certain amount, they will detonate. As for why they detonate at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Xiaoqiang also considers.Although there is a thick anti-skid black cement coating on the mountain wall, it can be found that many places are cracking. After prying, it can be found that the cracks on the rocks inside are bigger, and the biggest ones can be stuffed into people's fists.
Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that if there is no accident, a large number of falling rocks will collapse on the mountain wall in the near future. He believes that the vibration after detonating thousands of bombs can lead to an artificial earthquake, and how many zombies will come and die at that time.
It's just a pity that there are not enough wires. If he can find the cable warehouse, he can plant bombs under the cliff tens of kilometers long, and now he can only make do with it.
When Feng Kun showed up with his troops at the back of the hall, Wang Le and his subordinates withdrew. There were no irrelevant people in the armory. A thousand soldiers were waiting for him, and the troops Feng Kun brought back were 1800.
After hearing Feng Kun's report, Zhang Xiaoqiang was very depressed. The bait sent out before had a negative effect. The roads leading to the town began to attract some zombies. However, when the zombies came into contact with the zombies in other towns, tens of thousands of zombies, such as guihaizhichuan, gathered in the zombie sea under the command of Z2 zombies, We've increased our forces a little bit out of thin air.
This is a huge threat, but also a huge opportunity. Z2 zombies summon all the zombies in the towns along the way, which is no less than a huge pie falling from the sky for the people living around. Of course, this pie has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoqiang
