It has to be said that Tang Xiaoquan's idea was extremely bold and creative. After hearing this, everyone was surprised but also had some doubts.
For example, Wu Chao was the first to put forward his own idea: "If the "water cannon" method is feasible, then why don't we use the water in the fire pool to stay here for a few more days? In this way, when more zombies outside disperse, we Wouldn’t the success rate of a breakout be higher?”
After listening, Tang Xiaoquan nodded indifferently. Frankly speaking, he had never considered Wu Chao's proposal. After all, he had just thought about using the fire hydrant.
Now after Wu Chao reminded him, Tang Xiaoquan also felt that the former opinion was quite reasonable.
First of all, as Wu Chao said, the density of zombies outside the door is still too high after all. Although the power of the "water cannon" is enough to disperse them, a "water cannon" will inevitably have omissions. It will result in irreversible defeat.
Secondly, the two wounded Hu Xiaodong and Zhao Huilong are also unstable factors that must be considered during the breakout. No matter how powerful the water cannon is, it cannot change this problem.
Finally, Lao Zhao just said that whether the water cannon can be driven and how long it can be driven depends entirely on whether there is enough water in the fire pool, and this most important and critical point is currently unknown to us.
Therefore, based on the above three points, Tang Xiaoquan, who had calmed down from the initial state of joy and excitement, began to re-examine his "flash of ideas".
For a moment, he looked at Zhao Yunhai, and then asked thoughtfully: "Uncle Zhao, what do you think about this matter? Is the water in the fire hydrant drinkable?"
Seemingly quite confident about this question, Lao Zhao gave the answer without even thinking about it: "That's right, there are generally two types of fire hydrants. One is the municipal fire hydrant on the roadside. That kind of fire hydrant is usually It is connected to the tap water pipe network. It is definitely no problem to drink the water in this kind of fire hydrant; but the other kind is what Xiao Tang you just mentioned, which is an indoor fire hydrant. Many of these fire hydrants have independent storage. As for whether the water in the water tank is drinkable, it depends on when the water was last changed in the water tank. After all, the water tank cannot be circulated. If it is not replaced for a long time, various kinds of bacteria will grow in it. All kinds of microorganisms and bacteria. So my personal advice is, don’t take the chance!”
As usual, he nodded indifferently. After weighing it briefly, Tang Xiaoquan immediately agreed: "I agree with Uncle Zhao. Although we are not yet sure about the quality of the water in the reservoir, for the sake of safety, let's not drink it. Otherwise, if people get sick again, our breakthrough will be even worse."
Well, Wu Chao didn't make his position clear, but it was easy to see from the relieved expression on his face that he probably had no objections.
At this point, Tang Xiaoquan's idea of "water cannon breakout" was approved by everyone, so based on the idea of sooner rather than later, Lao Lin immediately made the decision: "Since everyone has no objections, let's seize the time to rest and prepare. 2 We’ll take action in a few hours!!”
Everyone looked at Lin Junfu with approval. After all, he had to leave early or late. Even if you stay idle for a few more hours, it won't change the fact that zombies are swarming him.
On the contrary, it is better to break through while the physical strength is still abundant, so as not to exhaust the physical strength due to hunger and lack of water when falling down, and finally end up in an embarrassing and forbidden place where even if you want to break out, you have no strength to break out.
After briefly making relevant arrangements, the survivors immediately took action separately.
In terms of weapons, Wang Qiang used existing resources to make four cardboard shields as usual. In addition, he also made a snake spear that he is good at. As for the rest, most others have found weapons that they are comfortable with, so there is no need for him to prepare extra.
In terms of materials, logically speaking, this thing should not be brought, but considering various factors during the breakout process, Tang Xiaoquan decided to be "prepared" and bring as much reserves as possible, especially drinking water and food.
Although these things are so small that they are almost negligible, they may be able to save one's life at a critical moment.
The wounded were easily transported. On this point, the survivors initially had some disagreements.
One party's attitude is to use the folding bed to carry the goods, while the other party insists on carrying the goods on the back.
However, in the end, the survivors still sought common ground while reserving differences and agreed: bad luck.
After all, compared to lifting, carrying will cause inevitable damage to the wound that Hu Xiaodong just sutured.
But in terms of the overall situation, it can minimize the latter's drag on the entire team's breakout.
You know, the most critical thing in this operation is that word, quick.
Because any delay may cause everyone on our side to be surrounded by corpses.
Two hours later, everyone gathered at one place as scheduled. During this period, Tang Xiaoquan, Zhao Yunhai, and Lin Junfu discussed the latest developments of the situation and formulated a very detailed action plan.
After explaining the content of the plan to the gathered companions in a concise and concise manner, the group finally carried Hu Xiaodong down to the first floor.
Returning to the first floor, everyone couldn't help but feel a little confused, especially Wang Qiang and Wu Chao. Everything from yesterday seemed to be in front of their eyes again.
Brother Hu was critically injured, the iron gate was in danger, and the dilemma of internal and external troubles immediately made Wang Qiang sweat.
Lao Lin didn't have time to think about other things like others, he had more important things to do right now.
As the only person in the team who has actually operated a fire hydrant, the responsibility of setting up and using a fire hydrant naturally falls on his shoulders.
"Who, Xiao Tang, help me read the instructions on the fire hydrant, and then read it to me!" In order to avoid improper operation, and on the other hand to save time, Lin Junfu pointed to the fire hydrant box. greets the operating sticker inside.
"Okay," Tang Xiaoquan didn't waste any words. He immediately took the order and walked over, and then said step by step: "First take out the fire hose, then unfold it, and then..."
Following Tang Xiaoquan's instructions, Lin Junfu connected the hose to the fire hydrant, and then connected the other end to the fire water gun. Although the whole set of actions was a bit clumsy, overall it was done pretty well.
After standing up and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lin Junfu's face began to look solemn.
Obviously, the water hose has been assembled, and then comes the thing that the survivors are most concerned about: testing the water.
After all, the plan they spent a long time working on was entirely centered around this fire hydrant.
Therefore, let us wait and see whether there is water in the fire hydrant and whether the survivors can rely on it to successfully break out of the encirclement...
