After last night's consumption, only half of the diesel was left.
The third uncle looked up and saw the zombies still densely packed in the distance, still rushing towards this side.
The third uncle said: "Continue!"
The cannon could only pour diesel fuel under the wall. After the yellow diesel dripped under the wall, the flames suddenly became stronger.
Everyone was a little tired, and so was the third uncle. There were too many zombies under the wall. If the accumulated zombies were not cleaned up in time, it would be easy for the zombies to crawl in in the end.
Therefore, it must be cleaned up in time, using grenades, fire, bullets, knives, and various methods.
Last night was the most critical moment.
One of Lao Qin's subordinates was resisting zombies at the wall. It was raining and he accidentally slipped and fell. He was pulled by the zombies in the pile of zombies that had been piled up below and had no time to clean up. He eventually died.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
No one knows how long they can hold on.
In this provincial capital city, the suburbs are less than 40 kilometers away from the urban area.
How could it attract so many zombies? ! !
What they didn't know was that the rain, the bloody smell of the massacre, and the city with a large population base were all factors that led to such a terrifying zombie wave.
In fact, they have never seen a more terrifying zombie wave.
Like the zombie wave we are encountering now. It's only at the 100,000 level.
In what was once a huge city in the apocalypse, the zombie wave with more than a million levels in the city center is the most terrifying!
Li Tie's voice came from the intercom: "Dad, basically everything in the car has been moved up."
When the third uncle heard this, he immediately relaxed a little.
If you drive a vehicle, you will definitely not be able to evacuate from so many zombies. A wave of 100,000 zombies is equivalent to 0.5 square kilometers densely packed with zombies.
Equivalent to a rectangle 1,000 meters long and 500 meters wide, filled with zombies! !
There are so many zombies that they can see as if they are endless and they can't finish them all.
Li Gang at the back door is also under great pressure.
At this time, they couldn't tell the difference between sweat and rain. They just kept stabbing at the piled up zombies.
The cannon pushed the diesel trolley and added another place near the wall. With the addition of these diesel fuels, the weak flame seemed to be reborn and burned again.
Li Gang threw two grenades down, and the hill where the zombies were piled collapsed.
Cannon pushed the cart and stood next to Li Gang and said, "The diesel won't be used for long. It can't go on like this. I just heard your father say that we may gather at the water tower over there later."
Li Gang looked at where the cannon was pointing and saw a water tower dozens of meters high. It was very tall.
So he said: "When we get to that point, at least there is a way out."
Cannon didn't say anything. He pushed the cart and poured diesel under the wall. There was only so much diesel, so he was very economical every time he poured it.
Everyone, who had been fighting for more than ten hours, was a little tired. They took advantage of the spilled diesel and briefly resisted the zombies to take some time to rest and eat.
However, they don't know how long they can persist.
No one knows how long this zombie wave will last or how long this rain will last.
The battle is still going on.
. . . . .
In the prison, at the very back of the toilet in the row of houses, there was a prisoner squatting here.
He escaped a bullet just now, but when he heard roars and human screams outside, he thought zombies had entered the prison.
But after waiting for a long time, no zombies came. He secretly opened the window and found that there was not a single zombie, but there were many corpses lying in many places outside. Most of them he knew.
Even if he didn't know him, he looked familiar. These dead people were all in prison!
Later, he was almost discovered by his third uncle and others. Fortunately, he lay directly in the excretion pit of the toilet and resisted the stench, so he was able to escape.
Just this hiding. It was a full twelve hours. Even though he could endure it, he was on the verge of collapse after persisting for such a long time.
The wind and rain continued, and time passed bit by bit.
During this process, many people felt tired, but they all worked hard to support each other, encouraging and supporting each other.
The rain kept falling, and everyone's optimistic mood gradually became depressed with the heavy rain.
This 100,000-level zombie wave is indeed terrifying!
The power of the flashlight is no longer enough, but there are six or seven flashlights that generate electricity by pressing the hand. Unfortunately, there is obviously no time to charge by pressing the hand at this moment.
Under the wall, the zombies were roaring, and there was no trace of exhaustion in their roars, as if they were like a perpetual motion machine.
This problem has been plaguing all survivors in the world, including Li Yu.
Before he came back from rebirth, he had heard about a team that researched and found that the reason why zombies can keep moving is closely related to water.
Therefore, zombies can still survive in rivers and oceans, but their strength does not increase as much as in heavy rains, either in the ocean or in rivers.
Heavy rains and the strengthening of zombies are already the consensus of everyone struggling in the apocalypse, but no one can figure out why.
The Da Zhangshu Base, the Wengcheng between the outer city and the inner city, and the biological research institute originally built for Bai Jie and Xiaolan are among them.
The most important purpose of building this research institute is to figure out the secrets of zombie bodies and find out how to deal with zombies.
Even if the zombies cannot be eliminated, the next-level goal is to try to find some of the weaknesses of the zombies through research, so that there will be better ways to deal with zombies in the future.
For example, Bai Jie and Xiaolan dissected the corpses of zombies before, and then studied the ingredients inside the corpses. Finally, they discovered a small feature, that is, the corpses of zombies are very flammable and have a very low ignition point, compared to diesel. The ignition point of a zombie corpse is only two-thirds of its ignition point.
This is very important, so later Li Yu used gasoline when there was a zombie wave, and it worked really well.
It just consumes too much fuel and resources.
And it doesn't last long, because after the zombies are ignited, they won't burn out like dry firewood.
Therefore, this method has pros and cons, and is only suitable in the most emergency situations.
This time, the diesel fuel that Lao Xie found in the basement was a big help. Otherwise, with this level of zombies, they would definitely not be able to handle it, and they would not be able to persist for such a long time.
At 10:30 in the morning, although it was daytime, the sky was still dark and the sunlight could not penetrate the thick dark clouds. Although it was better than at night, it was not very clear.
"Captain, we only have the last barrel of diesel left, and the rest have been used up." Cannon said to the third uncle.
The third uncle frowned slightly. He knew that the car coming in actually had gasoline, but he didn't intend to use it. Before that step, they could still go to the water tower to resist.
If all the gasoline in the car is taken out and used, when the zombie wave subsides, will they walk back?
This place is originally in the wilderness, and the apocalypse has been around for so long, and the gasoline in many cars has been taken away by survivors, so sometimes whether you can find gasoline really depends on luck.
Looking at the endless zombies that seemed to be killed, the third uncle sighed. Everyone had not rested much since 6 o'clock yesterday evening until 10:30 this morning.
Nearly 17 hours of high-intensity exercise, coupled with the need to maintain a state of mental stress at all times, has already exhausted everyone.
This kind of fatigue is not only physical, but also psychological.
Everyone's physical strength has reached a critical point.
So the third uncle said: "Let everyone pack up their things and evacuate to the water tower. In addition, pour half of the largest barrel of diesel to give everyone time to evacuate, and find a way to pack the rest and transport it to the water tower. Go up."
Cannon nodded and left.
"What? Are you leaving and evacuating to the water tower?" Li Gang asked at the back door.
Cannon went about his business and poured the diesel under the wall, and said without looking back: "Yes, so let's get the diesel here to buy you time to evacuate. Your place is the farthest from the water tower, you guys hurry up Pack your things and go ahead.”
Knowing that the matter was urgent and that he was indeed a little tired, Li Gang did not question and asked the brothers to quickly pack their things and prepare to go up to the water tower.
The diameter of the bottom of the water tower is only 10 meters, and the uppermost platform is less than 15 meters, which means the entire area is less than 150 square meters. If it can accommodate more than 40 people, the average space each person can have is only three square meters.
This does not include food, bedding, tents, firearms, medicines and other things that took up less than half of the space.
main entrance.
Li Tie had already brought all the things to be moved up with people, and at this time he came to the gate wall.
He found his father and said with some worry: "Dad, when we were in the building below, we did a rough search, but when I killed the enemies on the mountain last night, I saw several enemies running away. We haven’t had time to look for them, should we search again before we go up to the water tower?”
Li Hongqian thought for a while and said: "No, if we evacuate from the wall, they will definitely not survive, so don't worry about them. Evacuate quickly."
Then he called Lao Lu and others to evacuate. At this time, Li Gang and others had already gone up.
The water tower, which is more than 30 meters high, does not have any safety measures. You have to carry firearms and ammunition to climb up, and there are some risks in climbing up in the wind and rain.
But now that we have reached this point, if we escape here, there is no other way.
Li Gang, Yang Tianlong and others were the first group to arrive at the Water Tower. After they arrived at the Adou Water Tower, Lao Lu and others were the second group to go up.
Then came Lao Zhou and the others.
Finally, when they all went up, they saw zombies climbing in at the first place to evacuate in the direction of the back door.
Uncle San and Lao Qin, who were at the front door, finally threw two grenades into the zombie wave to slow down the influx of zombies.
After throwing it, he ran at full speed.
Both of them were carrying a gun, but as they ran, they looked behind them. Perhaps because of the two grenades, the zombies at the front door had not climbed in yet.
But the zombies around the back door had already climbed in, and were less than 50 meters away from them.
At this time, the third uncle and Lao Qin had successfully reached the bottom of the water tower. Looking at the water tower more than thirty meters high, the bottom was an iron ladder, but this ladder could only allow one person to pass at the same time.
So the third uncle said to Lao Qin: "Old Qin, you go first."
After saying that, he fired a few shots at the zombies that were coming towards them.
When Lao Qin was about to speak, his third uncle said domineeringly: "This is an order, don't waste your time here."
Lao Qin immediately put the gun behind his back and climbed up without saying a word.
When Lao Qin climbed to a height of three meters, his third uncle also started to climb up.
Bang bang bang~
Everyone who had arrived at the water tower started shooting at the zombies who came over the wall.
There are actually not many zombies coming over the wall now, but there is a steady stream. As long as one zombie comes in, the zombies behind will also follow.
After some zombies came in, they did not pay attention directly to the water tower.
Instead, they gnawed crazily at those corpses.
More than a hundred corpses on the ground dispersed the pressure on Third Uncle and the others. Some zombies were originally targeting the water tower, but when they saw the corpses on both sides on the road, they simply ignored Third Uncle and the others.
Third Uncle and Lao Qin had already climbed to a height of more than ten meters.
This water tower, which is more than thirty meters high, is more than ten stories high when converted into the number of floors in a building.
I don't know why, but the wind and rain seemed to be much stronger at this time, when Lao Qin climbed up.
Bada~
The steps suddenly broke apart, and Lao Qin's right foot was knocked out.
Thumb, thump, thump—
Lao Qin's body slid down a few more steps, and his right hand firmly grasped the Tie Kang railing.
Boom!
After finally stepping on the iron steps, Lao Qin was sweating profusely and breathed a sigh of relief.
The third uncle below him was also a little nervous when he saw this scene. Just now he had planned to take Lao Qin's leg and help him.
"Slow down, pay attention to safety." Uncle San shouted from below.
Lao Qin wiped away whether it was sweat or rain, and said to his third uncle below: "There is a broken step on the top. Be careful not to miss it later."
broken!
The third uncle felt a little unhappy when he heard this. They did have climbing ropes, but when they finally came up, the third uncle didn't have time to throw them down.
The third uncle thought that if he waited until the zombie wave was gone and could come down, he would be sure to wear the rope before going up.
It rains heavily.
Especially in higher places, the higher the place, the higher the place, it will give people the illusion that the whole building is shaking slightly. This illusion makes people feel insecure and scary.
The two of them climbed higher and higher, and when they were about to reach the top, huh huh~
A gust of wind blew over and blew away a pocket inside Lao Qin's clothes.
"My stuff!" Lao Qin shouted.
It seemed that this small bag contained something important to him, but the small bag fell down and fell into the zombies that had surrounded him.
Lao Qin was stunned for two seconds, knowing that he could not stay now, so he continued to climb up.
At the last moment, Li Tie and others directly pulled Lao Qin up, and Lao Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then came the third uncle, who climbed up to the top platform unharmed.
After climbing up, he took a general look around. The area is about a hundred square meters, neither big nor small. In the very center, there is a small house of about fifty square meters with a roof to shelter from the rain.
There is a small step below the small house in the center, and under the step is a huge water tank.
This water tank is huge and can hold at least hundreds of tons of water. However, this water tower has not been used for a long time and only one-third of the water is in it.
Uncle San and the others don't know what the water quality is here, but what is certain is that there are more than 40 of them standing on it, and there is no problem at all.
"Dad, please come in and take a rest first." Li Tie said to his father in the room.
Each of them has been in the rain for nearly 20 hours now. It is also a season change like spring, so it is easy to catch a cold.
Da Pao, Lao Lu, and Li Gang, who were the first to arrive, were wearing raincoats and looking at the zombies below on the platform of more than thirty meters.
The water tower is the tallest building in the prison, and you can have an unobstructed view of what's going on below.
I saw the zombies below, surrounding the corpses on the ground, gnawing crazily. Like a tidal wave, it surrounded the bodies of the dead prisoners on the ground in circles.
The zombies in the innermost layer may be able to grab the fattest heart, and the zombies in the middle layer may be able to break off their arms and legs if they are lucky, but the zombies in the outermost layer can only be crowded and unable to scream in place.
The clouds, layers upon layers of dark clouds, cover up the sunlight. These dark clouds are like protective umbrellas for the zombies, preventing them from being exposed to the scorching rays of the sun.
outward.
On top of the wall, zombies are still pouring in, a bit like a scene from a pre-apocalyptic movie: World War Z, except that the zombies do not move as fast, their bodies are not as agile, and their numbers are not as high. not that much.
These zombies can only climb up slightly clumsily.
If it is under the sun, these zombies will fall into a downtime mode and can only move forward, backward, left and right. If you put a car in front of this zombie, it can stop it.
Just in the heavy rain, these zombies increased their sensitivity. The larger the number, the more terrifying it becomes.
Looking further outside, you can see that the prison is surrounded by zombies inside and outside.
There are mountains and forests all around. You can't see clearly in the mountains and forests, but in the open space, there are zombies.
It seems as if the whole world is full of zombies. This scene will make people despair.
Suddenly, Li Tie heard a scream coming from one of the cells in the prison.
"Ah~~"
It was a man covered in Yoneda Kyo who climbed out of the glass window in the toilet.
He was hiding well in the toilet, but he didn't expect the zombies to find him.
However, after he escaped from the glass window, the scene he saw made him even more desperate.
In all directions, everywhere you look, there are zombies.
Scream!
The surrounding zombies seemed to have seen his appearance. All the zombies stopped and seemed a little shocked.
But soon, the zombies who had not snatched the food did not mind the man's excrement, and rushed over excitedly.
Men want to run wildly, but there must be a direction to escape. There are zombies everywhere in this 360 degrees, how can we escape?
This man, whose whole body exuded a vomiting smell, closed his eyes in despair.
Click click click click~
The man was swallowed up by the raging zombie wave in just three seconds.
At the last second when the man closed his eyes, he saw the dark clouds in the sky, which looked like a big face.
