The car passed through the road made of wooden fences and continued to drive inside. It could see the second line of defense composed of trucks. On top of these tall steel beasts, there were also patrolling personnel in camouflage uniforms.
"From time to time, there will be zombies wandering over," He Boxue's eyes fell on the soldiers, and then he pursed his lips and said, "In order to save bullets, most of the time they are actually solved with melee weapons."
Wang Meng nodded. He also saw the weapons lying horizontally under the truck, most of which were axes with extended handles, hatchets, etc.
There are many smart people in the world. Everyone knows the threat of zombies, so they will naturally think of extending the handle to distance themselves from the zombies.
However, unlike the specially forged ones in the park, the weapons here look much simpler.
"It's pretty good. You can kill zombies in close combat without making much noise, which can avoid attracting more zombies."
Wang Meng said in a puzzled tone.
He naturally knew that it was He Boxue who was committing misfortune, but he just refused to continue!
In today's world, according to Li Yuanxu, after human beings have experienced extreme cold and snow disasters, they no longer have the strength to make a complete comeback. Naturally, there will be competition among the survivors, for supplies, territory, and even for capable people!
Wang Meng is a protective person, and his character determines that he will support his own people. Naturally, he will not be "poor and generous" to support others. Even if he knows that he really wants it, Li Yuanxu will support him...
But what he said is quite good. Compared with most ordinary survivor teams, the Salvation Army that occupies a small town is actually not bad even with weapons specially made after the apocalypse!
The extended handle can be seen to be welded on!
After entering the town completely, you can see a lot of vehicles on the street. Each vehicle has been modified, with iron mesh welded to the windows and other places, and some sharp protrusions were even added to the front of the vehicle. !
Seeing Wang Meng's interest, He Boxue said, "This is the inspiration we received from a survivor, but it can only be regarded as a backup method."
The roads within the city are almost paralyzed, with cars crashing into the streets everywhere.
The purpose of these cars being modified like this is probably not for entering the city, but for use during evacuation!
Wang Meng's mind turned around and he knew the joint.
But I know why it was said to be a backup method... He didn't say much, but changed his words and talked about other aspects.
And He Boxue was a very talkative person. He kept chatting and even told the origin of the name of the 'Salvation Army'——
It was originally a garrison army and had no intention of changing its name in the early days of the apocalypse. However, after the attack on Anjin District failed, a large number of survivors were gathered.
In terms of people's livelihood such as food, clothing, and shelter, there is a shortage everywhere.
Physical collapse, coupled with the fact that after the apocalypse, many people's family members and friends were killed in the mouths of zombies, or they saw scenes of cannibalism, most people were under great mental pressure, even if there were soldiers around, that kind of The atmosphere of despair and numbness still envelopes many people!
The attack on the small town did not alleviate this atmosphere. Bad things like fighting were happening everywhere, and many people even took the initiative to stir up trouble!
"Survivors need a spiritual support, even just a simple name!" He Boxue smiled, "The Salvation Army, the army that saves the world!"
Wang Meng nodded thoughtfully.
He had not thought about this, because these things had not happened in the park, but if he thought about it carefully, he could understand the reason - it is not unreasonable for people to eat food.
The park provided food to meet basic survival requirements, and arranged work so that the survivors had no time to think.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about names!
…
In the small town, He Boxue and Wang Meng talked all the way. When they got off the car in front of a house, a soldier suddenly came over and said that he had an important matter to report.
So He Boxue could only smile apologetically, ordered a few soldiers to lead him, and left in a hurry.
"Can we take a look around?" Wang Meng looked at several soldiers holding guns and said with a smile.
Naturally, these people don't have any opinions about what can and cannot be done. He Boxue had discussed it with them beforehand.
"Of course, where do you want to go?" a soldier asked.
"Just take a walk, I haven't been to other camps yet," Wang Meng said, "I'm very curious about many things."
It was said that it was just a casual walk, but in fact Wang Meng had taken a cursory look at everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For example, electricity consumption, the source and quantity of food, housing, etc.
Like the park, there is electricity in the town. After all, a few generators can still be found.
However, the power is wired, so it is mainly supplied in important places such as equipment areas.
As for food, there are two main sources, one is various packaged foods collected scatteredly, and the other is the reserve granary near the town!
"Although there aren't many kinds of them, fortunately they're not completely broken, so you can still eat them in front of you." The soldier leading the way said with a naive smile.
It was only after the advance troops made sure that the food reserves in the granary could barely pass through the entrance that they decided to capture the town!
As for housing...
When Wang Meng followed the soldiers around, he didn't see many people in most of the areas he passed through. It wasn't until he came to a neighborhood that the flow of people became bigger.
You can see many people working in the open air, busy with various things.
Seeing Wang Meng looking at him curiously, the soldiers leading the way also answered his confusion——
"After experiencing zombies, many people are afraid to live alone, so basically the survivors who are rescued live in this community."
There is a reason why humans are social animals. After experiencing a life or death crisis, many people will subconsciously choose to hug together for warmth!
Wang Meng thought about it. More than 10,000 survivors sounded like a lot, but in fact they were only the number of students in a university.
For example, a community in Dafu City has 44 high-rise buildings, four gates on the east, west, north and south, and 6,479 houses. According to 4 people living in each household, it is equivalent to one person living in one community!
A small town can basically accommodate a population of more than hundreds of thousands. If more than 10,000 survivors gather together, the small town will indeed not occupy a large area.
No wonder Wang Meng didn't see many survivors on the road before.
"Can I go in and take a look?" Wang Meng asked.
The leading soldier nodded.
…
…
He Boxue hurriedly came to a conference room, which was already full of people. He straightened his clothes before entering.
