Chapter 232 All Over the Mountains
The departure ceremony and live broadcast were all proposed by Lin Xi and decided after discussion with Director Wang Song Huaijin.
Lin Xi felt that it was necessary to let the people in the base face the horror of zombies.
I hope this can inspire the bloodiness in some young people.
No one is born to sacrifice for others.
Let those high-ranking officials see the sufferings of the world.
Everyone boarded the helicopter amid applause and flew towards the capital.
The base is on the west mountain, and the shelters are all built towards the east mountain, with the flooded capital city in between.
In less than half an hour, we arrived near Dongshan.
A total of one hundred shelters have been built in the mountains here.
Each shelter was built to accommodate 100,000 people.
It's just for accommodation. There's only a place for 100,000 people to sit in the shelter.
But even with so many shelters, many people in the capital were unable to enter the shelters, and some could only squeeze in the passages outside the shelters.
On the day when the meteorite shower fell, even though there were few injuries, some people were still injured by meteorites flying into the passage.
Not only that, many animals in the mountains that were unable to escape were also injured.
The injured people quickly turned into zombies. The passage was so crowded that people couldn't get out at all. One after another, almost everyone hiding in the passage was infected.
The next day, after the meteor shower stopped, the people in the shelter opened the door and saw hordes of zombies.
Those who ran fast ran back to the shelter, and those who ran slowly were infected with the zombie virus.
The situation in the one hundred shelters was similar. After a period of frantic resistance and at the cost of some lives, people successfully closed the door of the shelter and killed all the few zombies that ran into the shelter.
No one dared to go out anymore, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't. There were too many zombies outside, blocking the entire passage to the outside.
Even those with special abilities wouldn't dare to take the risk.
During this time, perhaps attracted by the breath of the living people inside, the zombies kept attacking the gate.
The shelter's nearly one-meter-thick stainless steel door had been battered and deformed after standing for half a month.
It seems like it will be completely scrapped at any time.
The people inside are constantly being harassed by zombies and are terrified of the zombies breaking in.
Everyone spontaneously organized themselves into several shifts, taking turns guarding the gate.
Not only that, food and drinking water are also becoming increasingly scarce.
An ordinary person cannot carry too much food and drinking water with him.
Moreover, it was not long after the Chinese New Year and the weather was cold, so many people brought quilts.
No one expected to stay in the shelter for so long. Those who carried half a month's rations were considered far-sighted.
The people in the shelter usually come in a few days in advance, and have basically stayed there for more than twenty days.
Most of the people had run out of food and water they had brought with them.
A few days ago, people started killing each other for drinking water.
Lin Xi and his crew's helicopter was circling in the sky, and all they saw were zombies covering the entire mountain.
When thousands of people gather together, it seems like a lot of people.
It is estimated that there are no less than several million zombies in the mountains.
The capital has a population of 20 million. Although many people have returned to their hometowns, there are still at least 10 million people left.
Except for those in the shelter, most of the others turned into zombies all over the place.
Everyone on the helicopter felt their scalps tingle.
Zhou Ying released all the drones he brought.
All the residents of Xishan Base saw this scene.
They had seen a few zombies wandering around alone in the news, and they thought it was scary enough. But so many zombies all over the mountains were beyond their imagination.
And these zombies were living people just like them not long ago.
A feeling of despair rose in everyone's heart. With so many zombies, how long would it take for a team of more than 30 people to eliminate them all?
It's impossible to completely eliminate zombies.
If this continues, the Xishan base will be discovered by zombies sooner or later.
What should I do then?
The helicopter was circling in the air, having difficulty finding a suitable place to land.
There was finally a piece of flat ground, but there were zombies wandering around again.
Moreover, it is impossible to land in this situation. As soon as people go down, they will be immediately surrounded by zombies.
Lin Xi also underestimated the number of zombies here. After thinking for a moment, she took out her communicator and called Director Wang. "Send a few fighter jets over and bomb them for a few rounds. There are too many zombies. Even using grenades and machine guns is too slow."
Xishan Base does have fighter jets, but not many, only ten.
The main valley is only so big, and various living facilities need to be built, so there is no more space for fighter jets.
Fighter jets need a runway to take off and land, and they consume a lot of fuel. Although the Xishan base has a lot of oil stored, it is limited.
The military factory is not large in scale and can produce few weapons.
So things like fighter jets need to be used sparingly.
Lin Xi hadn't originally planned to use fighter jets so soon.
Director Wang quickly replied, "Okay, we'll send five fighter jets immediately."
Lin Xi and his men continued to fire machine guns and grenades downwards.
The fighter jets flew very fast. After more than a quarter of an hour, five fighter jets flew over.
The helicopters stayed away, and the fighter jets tried to avoid the shelters and dropped bombs below.
Under normal circumstances, the shelter can withstand bombing.
After several rounds of bombing, a large area of the ground was covered with debris and the fighter jets flew away.
Lin Xi observed the situation on the ground and shouted into the communicator, "Everyone, land near Shelter No. 1 and start advancing from Shelter No. 1."
Shelter No. 1 is on the edge, and there are relatively few zombies around.
The helicopter slowly descended in altitude, and Lin Xi took out a machine gun and fired at the area below.
The bombing could not kill all the zombies completely, only some of them. Many zombies with missing arms and legs still stood up staggeringly despite their strong will.
The helicopter flew very low, and the team members in the helicopter started firing with machine guns. Dozens of guns fired at the same time, and it took a while to kill the zombies near Shelter No. 1 until only dozens of them were left.
The remaining zombies were not afraid of bullets at all. Lin Xi suspected that these zombies were either mutants in the past, or they evolved in a short period of time.
The helicopter found a place to stop, and everyone quickly got off the plane, forming tactical teams and moving forward while covering each other.
Many people in the shelter heard the sounds of bombing, grenade explosions and gunfire outside.
Many people were panicked. Could it be that the meteorite shower was coming again?
Someone was lying on the ground and looking out through the crack in the door. All he could see outside were the densely packed and disgusting feet of zombies, nothing else.
