Chapter 1910 Purification

Gothenburg, Nebraska.

Zhang Hong, the brigade commander of the First Guards Brigade of the Aurora Legion, was frowning on the outskirts of this small town. Because there is a strong stench in the air, people want to vomit.

The best parts of the United States are on the east and west coasts, while these inland states tend to be very closed and conservative. Residents of these states were often dubbed "Turks" by wealthy New Yorkers.

Inland states generally have developed agriculture, which is very important in the last days. The surrounding area of ​​Gothenburg is an important agricultural production area, and a large-scale large-scale irrigation system can provide a large amount of agricultural products. But now this place where a lot of agricultural population gathered has become a ghost.

Standing on an armored command vehicle, Zhang Hong picked up the binoculars and looked towards the city of Gothenburg. Many ragged figures swayed back and forth among the abandoned buildings. These figures may be living people, or they may be 'living corpses'.

The so-called "living corpse" is another human variant that is different from mutants and zombies. Their whole bodies are festered, they walk quickly, their minds are still relatively clear, and they are very aggressive in hunting. Their survival restrictions are relatively small, and they are more threatening than mutants and zombies.

This resulted in a huge number of civilian casualties due to the Enclave's unrestricted chemical and biological warfare. But the most unlucky one is not the Aurora Legion, which is hostile to it, because the main territory of the Aurora Legion is in the southwestern parts of the United States such as Mexico and Texas, which is relatively far from the Enclave.

If ‘David Lawrence’ wanted to attack the vital points of the Aurora Legion, he had to use expensive and few long-range missiles, and the combat effectiveness was actually very poor. The Legion can still bear it. But it is much easier to deal with the Brotherhood of Steel adjacent to it, there are plenty of shells and bombs.

Zhang Hong was sent by the Legion to help the pig teammates in the north stabilize the front line. But when he came to the predetermined front, he found that things were completely different from what he had imagined.

The Enclave wasn't attacking at all, and was even retreating. And what about those pig teammates? Except for a few dignitaries who fled to the rear in panic, all other places have given up. As long as Zhang Hong is willing and the logistics can keep up, he can advance 200 kilometers a day without panting.

It's a pity that the trouble Zhang Hong is facing is the mutant humans all over the place. If they are not cleaned up, people will not dare to fight with confidence.

"Prepare to set fire." Zhang Hong ordered over the radio.

After the first brigade of guards arrived at the northern front line, they found that they were actually working as a "cremation team". They don't need to fight at all, and they don't need to be bombarded. On the contrary, the task of purifying the battlefield and the city is particularly heavy-no drinking water, no running around, no random leaving the team.

Several specially made arson tanks drove out from Zhang Hong's queue. They rumbled to within a few hundred meters of the city, then fired napalm into the city, burning it to ashes.

In addition to some tall buildings with reinforced concrete in the core area, the most common ones in American cities are very ordinary single-family villas. These buildings use a lot of wood as building materials, which are particularly easy to burn. The raging fire will soon spread throughout the city.

As the arson tanks moved in, many surviving human mutants rushed out, trying to attack the Legion's troops. These terrifying living creatures can challenge the nerves of the soldiers. As long as they appear with their teeth and claws, the heavy machine guns of the armored vehicles of the troops will not stop.

Amidst the sound of guns and guns, the screaming mutants were quickly smashed to pieces on the way. The machine gunner on the armored vehicle waved back, and soon chemical defense soldiers came up in a truck to clean up the corpses—usually spraying gasoline and burning them.

Different from the situation Zhou Qingfeng encountered during his expedition to Baltimore, the number of human mutants is now very small. Zhang Hong raised his binoculars to confirm that the Fort Gothenburg in front of him was raging, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the weather is hot now."

In the past, the number of mutant humans was large because the dead humans were frozen by the low temperature of the nuclear winter and became their food. Now, a large number of human beings are also dying, but the normal temperature makes the corpses decompose completely if they cannot be kept for long.

Without food, fast-metabolizing creatures like mutants couldn't last long and would starve to death.

There are not many 'living corpses', only the 'zombies' with extremely high endurance can enter a low-energy hibernation state to linger on. But 'zombies' can't stand the high temperature, and arson can force them out.

"But he's burning cities one by one, so they have to burn until the year of the monkey?" Zhang Hong commanded the troops to do nothing after they arrived at the northern front. They set fire to cities and houses every day for fun. As for whether there are any civilians in the city that can be saved—by default, there are none, and they are all burned.

The United States is a developed country after all, and even the inland states have completed urbanization a hundred years ago, and various small towns and towns are everywhere. It will take a lot of manpower and financial resources to burn all of these, and it will take a lot of time.

Gothenburg was just an inconspicuous small town, and it took three days for the fire to turn the town into a wasteland. During this period, the Guards Brigade swept over a dozen other surrounding towns, eliminated thousands of human mutants, and killed even more survivors—no one could be sure whether the survivors were infected with the virus, rather than take huge risks It's easier to kill him than to do a medical examination.

Numerous corpses covered the ground, and the stench of burning corpses permeated the sky. Because of the hot weather, the officers and soldiers of the First Guards Brigade felt that they were about to be smoked into rotten meat, which was really painful. Until one day the legion sent them the latest virus research results, some kind of liquid purification agent.

"What is this thing?"

"It is said that Nova, the chief biochemist in the rear, has caught a special mutant, and she has created a virus against the 'Enclave virus'. This thing is harmless to ordinary people, and the cost is not high, and it can be used on a large scale. It needs to be spread out at low altitude like a pesticide machine spraying pesticide."

"What about the effect?"

"It's not sure yet. It only says that various human mutants infected with the mutant virus will be quickly killed by this 'purifier'. However, it seems to be ineffective against high-level third-generation mutants, and can only deal with early mutants."

"Being able to deal with those ordinary mutants will help a lot. It's better than letting us set fire all the way. I can't stand those monsters running around. No matter what, it's very troublesome to manage."

The "Kirov" airship transported hundreds of tons of "purifying agent" to Zhang Hong, and the First Guards Brigade itself had a lot of Yun-5 belonging to the brigade that could be used for distribution. The brigade commander Zhang Hong ordered the troops to advance to the next small town east of Fort Gothenburg for experiments.

The crude Yun-5 kept flying into the sky, using sprinklers to spread the 'purifying agent' on the ground at a height of 100 meters. On the first day of distribution, Zhang Hong led his men to observe foolishly outside the city. There was no reaction in the city at all, and the drone found that the mutant humans in the city were still operating as usual.

The second day, the third day, until the fourth day….

"Thank God, they finally fell down." Through the images captured by the drone, Zhang Hong saw that the mutant humans who were still active were slowly losing their ability to move. "We can push fast, we can get rid of the nasty stench, and we can kill those sons of bitches in the Enclave."

Yay..., the moment of joy has finally arrived. In the past, it was the Enclave who held back his energy to overthrow the Aurora Legion, but now that the Enclave is weak, it is the turn of the Aurora Legion to take revenge.

"Push, push, spray all the decontamination. Let our cannons reason with the Enclave and make them pay for their crimes."
