Chapter 183 - ready to go out

The work of filtering water is not as simple and rough as collecting snow and transporting snow water. Whether it is waiting for the process of snow water to melt slowly or waiting for the water to be purified little by little, it takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan has a group of capable younger brothers who can work in shifts and deal with these tasks without sleep, which saves Wei Xuan a lot of work.

Holding the temperature measuring equipment, Wei Xuanman wandered around the community, but finally found that at this time, the temperature in the underground parking lot can be maintained below zero even during the day. The water is naturally frozen in other places and then transported there. It is better to move it to the underground parking lot from the beginning, where it is completely frozen and then moved directly into the ice cellar.

It is easier to cool down the ice cellar. Just open the door directly to synchronize the temperature inside the room with the outside. After putting the frozen ice cubes in and storing them until summer, it should not be a big problem.

And there is always an upper limit to the storage capacity of the room. When the room is full of ice, the remaining water or ice can still be used by Wei Xuan for daily use. Even if the water that has been processed can’t fill an ice cellar, Wei Xuan can take the zombie boy to collect clean snow and go home to dispose of it, so there is no need to worry about it being useless.

The heavy snow fell behind, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of silver. Although Wei Xuan was going to go hunting, firstly, the road was full of snow and it was not easy to walk, and secondly, he needed to deal with clean drinking water and store it, and it would not be too late to go out after he finished his work.

With the reminder from those two lunatics, Wei Xuan now roughly knows where there may be mutated animals around City T, and he doesn’t need to go deep into the surroundings of the villa area at all. He only needs to leave the city for a short distance to find the mutated animals.

Of course, this needs to be based on the fact that these animals do not have the habit of migrating in winter. Wei Xuan wasn’t particularly worried about this. After all, the two lunatics just said they were going to hunt near the villa area a few days ago, and the last time one or two lunatics went to the villa area, they saw mutant animals. It’s a big deal for me to get closer to that side, and just attract one or two mutated animals to catch them slowly—those are animals that will actively attack people and zombies, so Wei Xuan is not worried about whether they will take care of his problems .

After two heavy snowfalls, the entire northern city fell into winter. Because of the experience of the past year, most of the bases have made preparations in advance and stored the food to be eaten during the winter. Even people who don’t harvest much have prepared some food. The difference is that some people may have a whole potato as dry food a day, but some people may need to eat a potato for two or three days to satisfy their hunger.

The life security of the people in those large bases is slightly better. Most of the official bases will distribute food to the survivors below according to different rules every day. The life of some revolutionary small bases is more difficult, but it is still possible to get by.

When most of the people in the base entered the cat winter state with their own harvests and food reserves, several major bases finally decided to start a new round of operations after exchanging information!

A military armored vehicle was parked on top of the white snow, and the cold wind passed by, rolling up fluffy snow from time to time, blowing it among the queues standing neatly beside the vehicles.

“This operation must be as cautious and cautious as possible. The operation will last for two days. The main purpose is to find out the situation. We must strictly abide by the orders of the superiors. We are not allowed to enter the building without permission to collect materials. Those who violate the orders will be dealt with by military law!” Standing in front of the team in thick winter clothes, one of them was a step ahead of the others, announcing loudly to everyone.

“Yes!” There was a neat reply from the team.

“Let’s go!” Finally, the speech was over, and the entire convoy was full of soldiers and guns, and drove to the city not far away that was also covered by snow.

“Can this mission achieve the results we want?” Standing in the wind and snow, the person who had just shouted asked a person beside him in a low voice.

The people around him shook their heads slightly: “This is the first snowfall, and there is no guarantee that those zombies will be covered by heavy snow, and those mutated animals will go into hibernation…”

Therefore, until midnight yesterday, the high-level officials were still debating whether or not to go on this mission. But in the end, they decided to continue this mission. After all…the current situation is very pessimistic. If they don’t hurry up, they are afraid that they will lose the opportunity completely.

Let’s not talk about the inexplicable temperature drop and slow heartbeat. It is only said that if the mutated animals and zombies are allowed to develop and run amok, it will inevitably lead to a narrower and narrower range of human activities, and it is not impossible for them to be gradually divided and trapped to death.

Fortunately, no matter whether it is zombies or mutated animals, it seems that winter is not as sensitive and fierce as other seasons. It is very necessary to take advantage of winter to test the situation in the urban area.

This point has already been discussed at various bases before autumn, and what is needed now is to implement it step by step.

They also need to use this tentative operation to figure out what happened to the bases that were completely lost earlier? If the reason can be found, then in the future, whether it is retreating or desperately destroying the zombies, it will rely on this operation to find out.

The convoy left deep black traces on the white snow, and the convoy roared loudly as it headed towards the city.

Sure enough, some zombies were not completely buried in the snow because of the heavy snow, but it also affected their actions. And too heavy snow will also affect the transmission of sound, so although this time the convoy entered the urban area to collect a large number of zombies, it did not expand the scope too widely.

It took nearly a week after the heavy snowfall for Wei Xuan to finally deal with all the follow-up situations. He and Du Hang lived in the north of T City, so some small-scale battles in other directions did not affect his life. In the area, even, he didn’t even know that the base near city t had already launched another military operation against the urban area, and it was the kind he least wanted to see.

However, even if he knew this, his power alone was not enough to affect these things.

After packing up the things he needed to bring when he went out, Wei Xuan and Du Hang went downstairs with their backpacks, wandered around the community, and chose forty people, including male and female zombies, who looked physically strong at a glance. Zombie boys, afterward, let all the boys stand in a row in an open space in the community, and began to give them pre-war training.

“We’re going out to hunt this time. Hunting is very likely to encounter some dangers.” Wei Xuan paused, and he also knew that the younger brothers basically couldn’t understand what he said now, so he thought for a while and pointed to the wall In a certain direction, “The giant mouse that came last time, after fighting you, many of you have only one head left…” While speaking, he made a gesture of cutting the neck and leaving only the head.

“We are likely to encounter those things again when we go out this time. Therefore, the…people who go out with me are likely to be in danger.”

According to Wei Xuan’s original intention, he really wanted the younger brothers who were unwilling to go out and take risks to stay on their own initiative, but… they must understand it!

Let alone them, even Du Hang and Wei Xuan didn’t know how to describe it so that he could understand what he was talking about when he fought the mutated mouse last time.

Sure enough, after Wei Xuan’s speech, all the younger brothers were at a loss, and the only response to Wei Xuan was to say: “Go out, go out, go out, go out…” Yes, because Wei Xuan would sometimes take them out Do something, so the younger brothers understand the meaning of “going out” very well-everywhere they go after leaving “home” is “going out” for them.

Wei Xuan sighed helplessly, pulled Du Hang forward together, and added some snowflakes to the neck bags of all the younger brothers. If you really encounter any danger, you must at least leave enough snowflakes for them to recover.

“Let’s go.” The small bags hanging around the necks of all the zombie boys were full of snowflakes, and they carried a relatively empty backpack on their backs, stuffed with several larger, very strong plastic bags.

Apart from these, Wei Xuan and Du Hang also carried some rations, purified drinking water, and weapons.

At the same time, all the zombie boys (including those who stay in the house to watch the house) still have a lot of golden leaves in their trouser pockets, and they carry explosion-proof axes, wrenches and other “hard weapons” that can be used as weapons on their waists. goods”.

Wei Xuan had already asked Du Hang to demonstrate how to use these “hidden weapons” to all the zombie boys. As for the axe, the boys are now very proficient in using these tools.

“Let’s go out, you take care of the house.” When Wei Xuan arranged the specially selected zombie boys in the open space to listen to the lecture, other zombie boys who were wandering around in the community gradually surrounded them. Standing nearby in a mess, looking like watching the excitement.

At this time, seeing Wei Xuan pointing at the younger brothers he was going to take out with him, and pointing at those who stayed at home, the whole area was quiet for a moment, and then two voices rang out.

One, just like just now, is the joyful voice of “Going out, going out” from the group of younger brothers who are going to be taken out by Wei Xuan, and the other is full of grievances, “Don’t take me, don’t take me…”

Wei Xuan couldn’t help laughing when he felt those complaints, and the feeling of heaviness that was suppressed in his heart just now was relieved a lot, so he told the remaining housekeepers a few more words: “I’ll take you out next time. .Also, if someone comes, don’t chase after them! If dangerous creatures come over, if you can’t beat them, just hide! No accidents, no deaths!”

He didn’t want to lead his team out hunting, only to see the tragic appearance of dead bodies all over the place when he came home, and he didn’t want his zombie brothers to be lured away to death by the smell of human flesh when they met living people when he was out.
