Chapter 928 Riot
Hunan Province.
Yongshi.
Crunch——
An unusually impressive infantry fighting vehicle, its armor stained with a lot of zombie mucus.
The car suddenly braked and stopped.
Huhu——
Swirling up dust all over the place.
tread--
A person got out of the car, it was Ju Tianrui.
He looked at the hundreds of meters wide lake on the right and nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Ding, throw the water pipe down and add water to the vehicle. Xiao Liu, you guys, take cover and pay attention to the zombies under the water."
Xiao Ding, who also got out of the car behind him, responded:
"Okay, the lake looks quite calm. There shouldn't be any zombies."
Ju Tianrui glanced at him and said in a low voice:
"There is nothing wrong with being careful. Zombies love water and are very likely to lurk in the water. Anyway, throw the water pipe in from a distance and don't get too close to the water. If you fall into the water, if there are zombies inside, no one will save you. Not you."
Xiao Ding and others' expressions changed, and they said yes again and again, and then moved the water pipes and water pumps that had been used along the way from the transport truck.
Xiao Ding and the two carefully walked to the lakeside carrying the water pump.
There was a small steep slope beside the lake. They looked at the calm lake and did not dare to let down their guard. They stepped on the steep slope extremely carefully, using their feet to catch the sliding soil to avoid sliding into the lake all at once.
When he was still two meters away from the lake, Xiao Ding stopped. Xiao Liu behind him took out his engineering shovel and started digging on the steep slope, digging out a small piece of flat land.
"Okay, let's put the water pump up." Xiao Liu said to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding and another person then lifted the water pump and slowly placed it on the small flat ground, ensuring that the water pump could be laid flat and would not slide into the lake water.
Click——
Xiaoding set up several brackets under the water pump, and then pressed down hard. The brackets sank into the soft soil, making the water pump more stable.
Immediately afterwards.
Xiao Ding threw the water pipe he had prepared into the lake.
thump!
The water pipe fell into the lake, and the iron edge on the head of the water pipe caused a ripple when it hit the water, causing the lake surface to ripple.
Four or five people from Xiaoliu on the other side pointed their guns at the lake in front of them, wary of zombies emerging from the lake.
soon.
Yu Xing and Bi An in the back straightened the water pipe at the back and connected it to the car to add water.
A car queues up to fill up with water. After it is filled, the vehicle starts and goes to the front to let the car behind it fill up the water.
beep--
The water pump makes a loud noise when pumping water.
After placing the water pump, Xiao Ding and others climbed up the steep slope and came to the edge of the lake to look at the lake.
A pump was pumping water out of the lake, causing small ripples on the surface.
Xiao Ding, Xiao Liu and other seven or eight people stood by the lake, quietly looking at the water pump and the lake surface.
"Brother Ding, do you dare to bet with me that after we pump out the water, there will be zombies in this lake." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
Xiao Ding looked at him and scratched his itchy scalp with his fingers, and dandruff fluttered from his head.
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, quickly took a few steps to the other side and looked at Xiao Ding with some disgust.
Xiao Ding raised his head and said, "Okay, how to bet, what to bet on?"
"A can of canned fruit. I bet there will be zombies coming out later." Xiaoliu said directly.
Xiao Ding blew the dandruff in his hand. The dandruff was very clear in the sun and slowly fell with the breeze.
"Okay, don't give away the canned fruit that was delivered to you. Don't be a scumbag. The water pump has been pumping for several minutes. With such a loud noise, if there were zombies, they would have come out long ago." Xiao Ding said quite confidently. said.
"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Liu looked at the soft soil under the steep slope and said with a smile.
This lake looks like it is decades old, and there must be a lot of silt in it. If zombies stay in it, some of it will sink to the bottom.
Even if you hear the noise outside, it will take some time to climb out.
as expected.
Gulu!
Several bubbles suddenly appeared in the center of the lake.
Immediately afterwards, a few bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake.
Xiao Ding frowned and thought to himself: There really are zombies here!
Uh-huh!
A zombie's head surfaced, then another.
As the two zombies surfaced, Xiao Ding and the others could see the chests and waists of the two zombies.
It's just that these two zombies walked very slowly, and the rotten cloth soaked below the waist was covered with black mud.
After the two zombies surfaced, they quickly walked towards the water pump.
"No, don't let the zombies knock over the water pump." Xiao Ding quickly reasoned.
The next second, he raised his gun and shot at the zombie.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots rang out, and Xiao Liu also shot another zombie.
thump!
The two zombies fell into the lake and floated on the surface for more than ten seconds.
Swish.
The corpses of the two zombies seemed to have been pulled down by something, leaving them bubbling in their original places and causing ripples.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu looked at each other, their pupils full of fear, and there was some vague speculation in their minds that other zombies must have pulled down the two zombie corpses.
If they accidentally slipped into the lake just now, they would definitely be dragged into the river by the zombies and eaten completely.
After a while, several zombies emerged from the lake, but they were killed with guns before they reached the shore.
Li Yu, who was in the middle of the convoy, heard gunshots coming from the front of the convoy, so he asked on the intercom and learned that the car was being filled with water by the lake. After the zombies ran out of the lake, he felt relieved.
This is the third day since they left Kun City. At the current speed, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in Gan City at around five o'clock in the evening.
This morning, I received news from my second uncle and others, and learned that the survivors from the southwest will hold a protest at three o'clock this afternoon.
My second uncle and others also told Li Yu and my third uncle about the action plan, and Li Yu had no objection to this plan.
The only thing that I feel a little sorry about is that they can't make it today to suppress this protest.
On the other side.
Xiao Ding, Xiao Liu and others guarded the pump to ensure that the pump operated stably.
They haven't taken a bath for several days.
It's hard to find a clean water source in the end of the world.
Zombies love water. There are zombies everywhere in the mountains, rivers and lakes. These zombies pollute the water source.
If it is only used to add water to the water tank of the vehicle, there is no big problem.
But for drinking and bathing, it must be boiled to 100 degrees before it can be used.
In the research room of the Dazhangshu base, they have tested with live animals. After boiling the water source polluted by zombies and giving it to some small animals to drink, no mutation will occur.
After testing, although the water soaked by zombies will not mutate after human contact, who knows whether it will cause any infectious diseases later.
In this unknown situation, they dare not try it, after all, there is only one life.
The water source they are drinking now is partly brought from the Dazhangshu base, and the other part is collected from the heavy rain not long ago.
They have been out for a month, and they barely took a bath in that heavy rain, and no other baths.
After all, clean water sources are limited, and the first priority is to use it for drinking.
Soon, as the cars were filled with water, the third uncle's helicopter was also filled with water, so they set off again and returned to the Dazhangshu base.
Two fifty.
The fifth satellite city.
Gongsun Jing, with a gun on his back, walked to the wall.
The wall is only one meter wide, so you have to be careful when standing on it.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Jing asked a team member guarding the wall.
The team member looked at the partners slowly pouring in from outside and said, "Hundreds of people have come and surrounded us. I have just closed the gate."
"Yeah." Gongsun Jing looked inside the wall again, and some curious old partners came out of the board house.
"Deputy Captain Gongsun, it's not even three o'clock yet, why is the gate closed? We still have to go out to do the mission." A man standing under the wall asked curiously.
Gongsun Jing glanced at him, and saw a number of partners coming out of the board house one after another.
These people stood in the open space in twos and threes, talking and pointing at the outside of the gate.
"Hey, Luo Gui, why did they suddenly close the gate?"
"Hush, didn't you hear? Aren't there a lot of new people coming from outside recently? Some of these people are jealous of us because we don't let them enter the satellite city, and they said they want to hold a protest to pursue fairness and equality."
"Ah! I remember, it was said that Lao Ma wanted to take me with him, but I didn't agree. Hey! Do you think Lao Ma and his men are crazy? Our big camphor tree base has developed to this point. Do they think they will compromise with a protest?"
"I think it's a big deal. Why do we have to hold a protest when we are doing our mission? Isn't this just a waste of time?"
"Who said it wasn't?"
At this time, a woman came over. The two saw that it was her and didn't care too much. They were about to continue chatting.
This woman is in the same group as Luo Gui.
The woman suddenly said:
"Brother Gui, when we closed the door just now, I saw a lot of people coming outside. They seemed to be the new partners."
Luo Gui sniffed, touched the stubble on his chin with his hand, and said with deep eyes: "Did those people bring any weapons?"
"Yes." said the woman.
Luo Gui frowned when he heard it, and looked at the partners around him. Finally, he saw a dozen people from the outer city on the wall, and saw Guo Peng and his people who had been staying in the building came out fully armed.
Instantly smelled an unusual smell.
Something is wrong.
So he hurriedly pulled the woman and the man who had just chatted with him and walked into the board room.
"Luo Gui, what are you doing? Didn't you say that some new partners are making trouble? Don't go, I still want to watch the fun."
The woman was also a little confused and asked: "Brother Gui, why are you pulling us away?"
Luo Gui watched them struggle, saw Guo Peng and his people disperse, and vaguely looked at the many partners in the satellite city.
He whispered, "If you don't want to die, follow me."
After he said this, the two looked at him in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
But they all knew Luo Gui a little bit, knowing that he was not the kind of person who would shoot without a purpose, so they kept silent and followed Luo Gui back to the board room.
Everyone in the board room ran out, and at this time only the three of them came in.
"What's wrong? Brother Gui, do you know something?" the woman asked curiously.
"Yes, you see it's so lively outside, how about we go out and join in the fun."
Luo Gui glanced at the two of them and said quietly:
"If you want to die, go out and join in the fun. Usually the people who die fastest are those who join in the fun. If you want to go, I won't stop you."
The man closed his mouth, looked at Luo Gui in surprise, and said, "How do you say that?"
Luo Gui pondered for a while and then explained:
"I can't tell you the specifics, but I feel something is wrong. Now the new people have brought something with them, and didn't you see that the doors are closed? That old horse has been inviting people to participate recently, don't you think it's strange? I always feel that this matter is not that simple, I’m afraid this is not as simple as a protest.”
After hearing what Luo Gui said, the two of them thought seriously for a while.
hiss!
The woman was the first to react and said in shock:
"Brother Gui, are you saying that they might want to rebel?"
The man shook his head and said:
"It's unlikely. With the strength of the Great Zhangshu Base, these people can't make any waves at all. No matter how many people come, what's the use."
Luo Gui sneered and said:
"How do they know what Da Zhangshu has done before? We have never told them. Aren't you familiar with that old man who came in a while ago? Will you tell him these things?"
The man thought for a while and seemed to understand something.
These old collaborators actually stick together a bit and are wary of the newcomers.
After all, this is the end of the world.
People who have just joined will be a little defensive, unless they have been joining for a long time before they can integrate into it.
He and Lao Ma were not familiar to each other, but Lao Ma kept pulling him to ask him questions.
Um?
Thinking of this, the man gasped.
He said in shock:
"Lao Ma also participated in the protest, and he was in the satellite city again. The new people outside surrounded the satellite city. Do you think they really thought about it? They wouldn't be so irrational, right?"
"hehe!"
Luo Gui sneered and continued:
"People die for money, and birds die for food. They don't understand the strength of the Da Zhangshu Base, so they will naturally be impulsive. Even if they know, people's greed is endless. If they incite it, they can do anything."
The woman said anxiously:
"Then should we quickly bring back the people in our group? Wang Lao and the others are still outside!"
Luo Gui raised his head and nodded:
"That's why I called you back and told you this. Call them back. Don't watch the show. In the end, you will become the show. There are too many examples of city gates catching fire and affecting pond fish. In the Dazhangshu Base That person is not a good person, and we can’t get along with him.
Go and call them back quickly. Be careful not to attract other people's attention with your movements. Let's keep it quiet and call back the people in our own group. "
"Okay." They both replied in unison.
In the same row of blue iron sheet houses, the one on the far left.
The imperial concubine, Old Huangtou, and Xiaoye were lying at the window looking at the situation outside.
"Old Huang, do you think they are going to start making trouble?" the imperial concubine asked.
Today, the imperial concubine is no longer dressed as she was before. She wears a set of men's clothes and has her long hair cut off. After these days of exposure to the sun, her skin has turned into a healthy wheat color.
Old Huang shook his pipe, stuffed a bunch of dry grass picked outside into the mouth of the pipe, then took out a box of matches and brushed it.
The flames instantly set the blades of grass on fire.
Lao Huang opened his mouth, revealing a pair of yellow teeth with a hole in the middle.
He took a few puffs on the cigarette holder.
Bah, bah, bah~
Ahem!
After taking a few deep breaths, he choked several times.
His face turned red, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
"I think this matter is not that simple. That He Zhi from before, I haven't seen him in the past few days. Let's just stay in this wooden house and don't go out. Look outside, I feel something is wrong with the atmosphere."
Xiaoye asked with his eyes widened:
"Do they want to take action?"
"It's not impossible." Old Huang exhaled smoke and said slowly.
In the smoke, Lao Huang's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his whole body exuded an unfathomable meaning.
