Chapter 687 The Most Thrilling Moment Has Arrived! [5000 Words Long Chapter]
The flood rushed into the forest outside the base, and just when it reached the rural road, it began to fall back.
From the camera, we can see that the speed of the flood falling back is extremely fast.
It soon fell back to about one-third of the distance from the national road to the rural road in the big camphor tree base.
In the duty room.
Li Yu looked at the chair that he slowly let go of, and looked at the cheering people with a smile on his face.
Then, he said to Li Tie: "Tiezi, fly the drone and go farther to see the situation."
Hearing this, Li Tie immediately stood up, picked up the drone from the table in the corner, opened the door of the duty room, and put the drone in the heavy rain.
This drone, Li Hang has installed a small raincoat for it in the past two days, mainly to protect some key parts from being wet by the rain.
Buzz——
The drone took off quickly, and the rain was heavy, hitting the drone. Just then a gust of wind blew, and the drone shook violently and almost hit the wall.
Li Tie hurriedly raised the height of the drone.
The drone flew over the duty room dangerously, and watching the drone slowly rise, Li Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the drone rose, the duty room gradually became smaller. Looking down at the outside of the base, Li Tie couldn't help but gasp.
Outside the base, many zombies slowly walked out of the rural road. These zombies climbed out of the water and headed straight for the big camphor tree base.
"Brother, come and see, there are so many zombies!" Li Tie turned his head and shouted to Li Yu.
Li Yu heard this, his eyes condensed, and hurried over.
At present, there are nearly two thousand people in the inner and outer cities of the base, plus the cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel who have not been released.
This number of people will inevitably attract a lot of zombies.
This flood brought all the zombies in the northern city here.
Zombies are like tides, and the zombies in the water are really like tides, black and dense.
As the flood flowed, many zombies were washed to the side of the rural road. It seems that because they smelled the strong human breath here, these zombies tried their best to resist the force of the flood that brought them down, and swam towards the rural road.
The flood was very turbulent, pushing some zombies up and some zombies further downstream.
Li Yu saw this scene and immediately ordered: "Everyone go to the wall and observe the situation of the mobile gate at any time. If the height of the zombies piled up in that direction exceeds ten meters, open the second layer of mobile gates."
Everyone rushed out with guns and weapons in raincoats.
It was pouring down.
Everyone braved the heavy rain and quickly dispersed to various positions on the wall.
Duty room in the direction of the cliff.
Originally, this place was nearly ten meters lower than the main gate, so the drainage of the big camphor tree base was discharged in this direction.
The rainwater flowing down from the mountains and forests also gathered in this place.
When the flood rushed over, it also poured into the lake under the cliff.
The water level of the cliff lake rose rapidly to a height of forty or fifty meters.
It flooded the edge of the lake and flowed further downstream, but the valley downstream had also been flooded.
Fortunately, the drainage outlet of the big camphor tree base is still dozens of meters away from the highest water level, and it is still safe so far.
However, with the heavy rain and flood, zombies appeared not only at the gate, but also in all directions of the wall.
At a height of more than 7 meters on the wall, the first layer of mobile gate knives kept operating, with a sharp knife light.
Constantly cut some stacked zombies in half.
The bodies of many zombies were cut off from the waist, half flew one or two meters into the air, and then fell heavily below.
The other half collapsed directly in the pile of zombies and was quickly eaten up by the zombies.
Clang clang clang——
The sound of the mobile gate knife was loud, but it was not very obvious in the heavy rain.
The rain splashed and hit the wall and raincoat; the occasional sound of lightning and thunder was louder than the sound of the gate knife.
The endless zombies rolled in.
This was the time when the big camphor base faced the most zombies.
It was also the heaviest rainstorm.
In the rainstorm, these zombies were fearless and stacked up twice as fast as before.
Very quickly.
In the direction of the west gate, Yang Tianlong, Li Zhengping, Wang Cheng, Lao Qin and others.
Staring at these zombies, they moved super fast in the rainstorm, almost as fast as an adult running.
It was as if they had been given an adrenaline shot, full of madness.
The current height of the base wall is 28 meters.
The mobile gates are divided into three layers:
The first layer: distributed at a height of seven meters, the thickness and number of gates are also the largest.
The second layer: distributed at a height of thirteen meters, the speed of the gates is the fastest, and can quickly cut off the heads of zombies.
The third layer: distributed at a height of twenty meters, the gates are sharp and relatively thin, the last layer of protection.
The swarming zombies quickly stacked up to a height of seven meters, and then the gates were quickly swallowed up.
The gates made an unpleasant friction sound, as if they could not bear such a heavy weight.
Click, click, click--
Yang Tianlong quickly ran to the duty room and shouted to Lao Qin: "Hurry up and open the second-layer mobile gate, quickly, quickly!"
Lao Qin did not hesitate and directly opened the second and third layers of mobile gates.
Buzz--
On the wall.
At a height of 13 meters and 20 meters, two layers of mobile gates were extended.
The moment the gate knife was extended, the rainstorm hit the cold blade of the gate knife, making a dragon roar.
After the heavy blade was extended, it began to rotate slowly.
There were three layers of mobile gate knives, the middle layer of gate knives rotated clockwise, and the upper and lower layers of mobile gate knives rotated counterclockwise.
The zombies were stacked very fast. After reaching a height of seven meters, because there were too many zombies, several of the gate knives were temporarily pressed down. The speed of the gate knives became extremely slow.
Continue to stack higher on the wall.
Ten meters.
Thirteen meters.
The zombies were stacked in the shape of a triangular cone.
△
However, the side close to the wall was a right angle of ninety degrees. /|
The higher you go, the fewer zombies there are.
Clang clang clang——
The zombies that climbed to this height were soon beheaded by the sharp blades.
The speed of the zombies stacking up suddenly stagnated, and the progress of climbing up suddenly froze.
On the other side, Li Yu saw that the zombies were piling up very fast at the gate. So he sounded the base alarm directly, and the danger level was raised to level 2.
And asked Li Hang to open all three layers of gates on the wall here and increase them to the maximum power.
The gates have an area in each duty room for control.
But the duty room at the gate can control the duty rooms in all directions on the wall.
After the three layers of gates were opened, the zombie tide climbing towards the camphor tree base in other directions slowed down.
This time, the zombie tide rushing over was too fierce.
Perhaps because they were soaked in water for too long, and their strength was strengthened in the rainstorm, the limbs of these zombies became extremely strong!
The mobile gates with maximum power were turned on, and the force was strengthened.
In an instant, the mobile gates at a height of seven meters on the wall, which were pressed by the zombie tide, moved to both sides like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
Crash--
At the main gate, the zombie tide that had been stacked to a height of thirteen meters collapsed.
The zombies at a height of seven meters under the wall were thrown out by the gate knife.
The zombie tide was like a pile of building blocks, with the middle layer removed.
The zombies above the seven-meter height fell straight down.
The zombie tide collapsed.
The hearts of the people who had just been hanging suddenly fell to the ground.
All the people on the wall realized that this zombie tide was unusual.
The zombie tide collapsed, and many zombies died under the wall.
Suddenly, many zombies focused their attention on their dead companions and gnawed them.
Li Yu remembered an experiment he did a few days ago, which was to kill zombies in the distance and then attract some zombies to pile up in the distance.
So he immediately took out the intercom and shouted to everyone on the wall:
"I am Li Yu, pay attention in all directions, this time the zombie tide is too fierce, you can use the experimental method we did before at the front gate, kill the zombies in the forest dozens of meters away, and reduce the pressure on the gate knife on the wall. Don't be stingy with bullets and shells, everything is to protect the wall defense line as the first priority!"
Li Yu repeated it three times while holding the intercom.
Replies came from other directions.
"Received."
"Received."
"Received."
"Received."
Almost at the moment when the message was sent, Yang Tianlong raised a rocket launcher from the duty room and fired a cannonball at a col dozens of meters away.
In the heavy rain, the shells, with red tail lights, went straight to the col where the zombies ran over.
Boom--
The shells blew away a large area of zombies, and in the heavy rain, the zombies' bodies were blown into several pieces.
Li Zhengping also took a submachine gun and shot in the direction where Yang Tianlong had just shot.
Bullets were pouring over there like water.
There was a wooden box next to him, which was used to store bullet shells.
In the end times, bullet heads could still be made, but bullet shells were too complicated to make.
So basically, the bullet shells they used would be recycled and reused.
In the rainstorm, the sound of gunfire in the base was loud.
Li Yu looked at the zombies under the wall and was attracted by the dead zombies on the other side of the forest. The zombie tide, which was originally six or seven meters high, slowly dropped to only four or five meters high, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was critical just now, so he also shot and killed the zombies on the other side of the woods.
But he also felt sorry for the bullets, so after the situation improved, he changed to a crossbow and shot at the zombies on the other side of the forest on the wall.
The sky was as black as ink, and the accuracy of shooting with bullets was not high.
So Li Yu asked Li Hang and Da Pao to take out the searchlights on the wall, shine one light on the distant forest, and move the other light to observe whether there are relatively high zombies around the wall.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the distant forest can be seen more clearly.
The distance is only thirty or forty meters.
Now the base has more electricity and more arrow feathers.
Some time ago, non-staff and cooperative personnel were asked to make a lot of arrow feathers.
In the third-level combat readiness state, more than one hundred people from the outer city, including Lao Luo, Lao Bi, Lao Yi, Lao Qin, Lao Zhou, He Bing, Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, etc., all went up the wall.
Now there are nearly three hundred people gathered on the wall.
Almost every few meters on the wall, there is a person standing on it to guard the wall.
Bows and crossbows were distributed to everyone, and they were used together with firearms and artillery shells to stop the zombies.
There are a total of sixteen high-beam searchlights on the entire wall. At the gate, except for the two in the watchtower and the two outside the duty room, all are turned on.
In addition, there are fifty solar street lights on the fence, which were originally used in conjunction with cameras, but are now all turned on.
In the Da Zhangshu base, under normal circumstances, it is enough to turn on the solar street lights.
Searchlights are not used very frequently. In the past, it was to save energy, and later it was to not be so conspicuous in the dark night.
But at this time, these were all forgotten.
A searchlight, the light bulb alone is as big as a washbasin. If you stand next to the searchlight, you will feel a little hot, and it consumes an astonishing amount of electricity.
It was only with the zombie generator that I dared to spend so much money.
A searchlight can shine hundreds of meters away very brightly if it doesn't rain.
At this time, everything was turned on, and outside the Da Zhangshu Base, it was suddenly as bright as day.
The water droplets were like lines, which slightly affected the illumination of the searchlight, making it unable to shine farther. However, it was still able to illuminate very clearly dozens of meters away from the base.
A wall as bright as day.
Boost the morale of everyone on the wall.
Ju Tianrui looked at the zombies outside the wall and felt his scalp numb. He had just heard the sound of gunfire in the outer city and felt that the situation was a bit critical.
But when he was called up by He Chao, he saw that the zombies had climbed almost half the height of such a tall wall.
Zombies stacked up to a height of more than ten meters!
And even with the moving knife, it can be stacked so high.
Really scary.
Later, I learned from Yang Tianlong next to me that there was a flood disaster.
He was a little shocked when he heard that the rural roads outside the base were flooded.
After all, the Da Zhangshu base is on a high ground. If the rural roads halfway to the national highway are submerged, what about Xincheng?
Just thinking about it makes my teeth sore.
He held a crossbow, aimed in the direction of the searchlight, and shot at a zombie's head.
Whoosh——
The arrow feathers cut through the rain line and successfully hit the head of a zombie.
The zombie fell down, and several zombies quickly came from all directions to snatch the dead zombie's body.
But there were two zombies. As soon as they touched the body of the dead zombie, they were shot to death by Yang Tianlong and others next to them.
These zombie corpses are like snowballs, growing bigger and bigger.
The zombies that were shot to death constantly attracted the attention of the zombies that had just arrived, successfully reducing the pressure on the gate knife under the wall.
Finally, it all fell into a balance.
Some zombies were scattered around the wall and piled up, but the highest height reached 7 meters and they could not climb any higher.
The reason is that another part of the zombies are attracted by the corpses of the same kind and run towards the pile of zombies in the mountain forest outside the wall.
Under this strategy, the base finally returned to a relatively safe state.
The floods continue.
The melting snow from the Tanggula Mountains, coupled with heavy rains in the upper reaches, concentrated into the dam and submerged it.
This flood will never end as long as the heavy rain continues.
After the situation stabilized, Li Yu patrolled around the wall and appointed several people in charge to be responsible for the protection in their respective directions.
Once a problem occurs, people on the left and right must go to support.
Under the heavy rain, everyone fought in the rain and maintained a certain balance.
Li Yu made a schedule. It was still raining heavily, and it was impossible for all of them to be on the wall all the time.
A detailed battle plan must be developed.
Five duty rooms, 300 people.
The duty room certainly cannot accommodate that many people, and it is not necessary to stay in the duty room. It is just that five teams are set up based on the duty room.
This side of the main entrance is duty room No. 1.
Li Yu is the person in charge, and the secondary person in charge is Li Hang. In addition, Lao Yi and others are assisting here.
Duty room number two.
The third uncle is the person in charge, the second person in charge is Lao Lu, and Lao Qin and others are around to assist.
Duty room number three.
The uncle is the main person in charge, Li Gang is the secondary person in charge, and Ju Tianrui and others collaborate.
Duty room number four.
The second uncle is the main person in charge, Da Pao is the secondary person in charge, and Xiao Jun and others cooperate.
Duty room number five.
Li Tie is the main person in charge, Yang Tianlong is the secondary person in charge, and Lao Zhou and others collaborate.
There are three hundred people, except for the No. 1 duty room at the main entrance, which faces the greatest pressure, so it is equipped with one hundred people.
Fifty people were arranged in other directions.
In addition, the total number of people in the inner and outer cities is 400, except for these 300 people for protection.
In the outer city, He Chao led 20 people, armed with firearms, to control order in the outer city.
In addition, Zhu Xiao, Zuo Ruxue, Guo Peng and other non-staff personnel were asked to control those collaborators in the outer city.
Once you find someone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be killed without mercy!
In addition, Li Yu simply asked these collaborators to assign some less important tasks and found something for them to do.
In the inner city.
Let Ding Jiu, Li's father and others hold firearms and form an inner city team to protect the stability of the inner city.
In order to provide stable logistics, Li Yu asked Li's mother and Yutong to bring twenty or thirty people to supply food and other things.
The closer the crisis comes, the clearer Li Yu becomes about one thing.
Don’t use people you don’t trust enough!
Human nature is greedy and evil.
Otherwise, before the end of the world, in some countries outside, every time there was unrest, there would be burning, killing and looting.
He would not give those partners in the outer city a chance.
In fact, being able to let the people in the outer city come up was already his bottom line.
These people in the outer city have been getting along for so long, and most of them are soldiers.
And they are assigned bows and crossbows, and with the management of each person in charge, the probability of problems is not high.
Now they are grasshoppers on the same boat.
A battle plan was formulated, and the zombie tide outside the wall was stabilized by the use of gate knives and crossbow shooting to attract the attention of zombies.
Two shifts, those who did not need to come up began to return to their respective posts.
After the zombie tide stabilized, the number of people on the base returned to 150.
In a protracted battle, no one can fight 24 hours a day.
Even working in two shifts, they were already exhausted.
The zombies outside the wall seemed to be endless, and they kept surging here.
But no matter what, the Big Camphor Tree Base finally survived the heavy rain, floods, and tide of zombies!
