Chapter 95: Heading out to face the zombie tide
Chen Mengxue got up early in the morning to buy the excavator at the machinery market. After the master drove the excavator into the villa, he was still wondering after getting out of the cab. He looked at the exquisitely decorated villa and asked doubtfully: "Beauty, hey? Do you have any project to do? Why did you buy the excavator yourself? It's a waste of millions. If you need to make any changes, just contact the construction team. It just so happens that I have a fellow villager who can do this. Do you want to..."
"No need, Master."
Shen Linglan interrupted her master and asked Chen Mengxue to settle the bill for her master before sending him out.
There was no one else in the villa, so Shen Linglan moved the excavator over.
The excavator landed in front of everyone. Except for Wu An and Zhou Micheng, everyone else couldn't help rubbing their eyes, unsure whether the scene just now was an illusion.
"Mom, am I still dreaming?"
"Oh my god, I was thinking yesterday that our efforts to wipe out the zombie tide were like an egg against a rock, but now I feel that even if the zombies in the zombie tide are mutated, they can be easily wiped out!"
A group of young people only knew about excavators in their memories. When they suddenly saw one, they were extremely shocked by the novelty.
They ran up to touch the excavator's shovel and compared their height with the huge wheels. They looked so curious and excited that they seemed to have forgotten that they were about to face thousands of zombies.
"Brother Wu An, can you drive an excavator?" Liang Tuantuan asked.
Wu An shook his head. Not only had he never seen an excavator after the apocalypse, he had never even touched one before the apocalypse.
After asking around, no one knew how to drive and they all looked at Zhao Yunduo blankly.
On the other side, Shen Linglan seemed to have expected it. She downloaded a tutorial on how to operate the excavator on her tablet. After passing the tablet to everyone, they were surprised again. They didn't expect that Zhao Yunduo actually had everything.
Liang Tuantuan touched the tablet and asked Zhao Yunduo carefully, "Sister Duo, who are you?"
Zhao Yunduo thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of gods?"
Liang Tuantuan nodded, his eyes widened, "Are you a god? A good god sent by heaven to save the world from suffering and to destroy the zombies and return them to the home of human civilization?"
Liang Tuantuan became more and more excited, and Zhao Yunduo interrupted him mercilessly, "Of course I'm not."
Zhao Yunduo didn't want to tell them everything. After all, whether they knew it or not, they had food and shelter, which was enough.
Of all the people present, the only one who knew about Shen Linglan's existence was Yaoyao. Perhaps Zhou Micheng also knew something, but she never revealed it.
"I see. Sister Duo really has a pocket that can hold whatever you want."
Liang Tuantuan didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said one sentence. No one asked any more questions, but just gathered in front of the tablet to watch the tutorial. In the video, a master in work clothes was teaching how the excavator works.
Before he could even take a second look, Zhao Yunduo said, "Kong Liang is very strong, so let Kong Liang take charge of the excavator."
Kong Liang saluted Zhao Yunduo and said, "Okay!"
After that, he climbed up to the cab of the excavator holding a tablet and practiced while watching the video.
Zhao Yunduo was not idle this morning either. She walked around the zombie tide and drew a rough map. Now they all gathered in front of the map.
Zhao Yunduo took a pencil and drew a square on the map. "The zombie tide has changed direction. They seem to be heading towards the school where we first settled."
Zhou Micheng was shocked. "Did they notice the direction we left and go there on purpose?"
"Well, it's very likely."
"Then, the mutant zombie must still be alive." Wu An's tone was very certain.
"He must be quite hostile towards us," Zhou Micheng said.
Zhao Yunduo thought so too. "So when we are dispersing the zombie swarm, we may encounter mutant zombies. We don't understand them, so we must not take it lightly."
Everyone nodded solemnly.
Zhao Yunduo drew a circle on the map again and said, "Start digging a pit 500 meters away from the middle of the zombie tide. The bigger and deeper the better. Then Wu An will drive the car to lure the zombies in."
"good."
Then Zhao Yunduo drew a circle on the other side. "I'll lead them in this direction. Sister Chengzi and Yuanyuan pour diesel on this location. The more the better, the thicker the better. When the zombies see the fire, they will walk in on their own."
Zhou Micheng and Liang Yuanyuan responded in unison.
Zhao Yunduo rolled up the map and stuffed it into her belt. Liang Tuantuan was confused, "Sister Duo, what about me?"
"You are injured, please take good care of Yaoyao at home. The vegetable garden behind the house can be planted with seeds tomorrow, so I will give it to you as well."
"ah?"
Liang Tuantuan looked unwillingly at her thigh which had been stitched with more than ten stitches, then looked at Yaoyao who was blinking at her, and sighed, "Alright!"
Kong Liang had been trying to drive the excavator outside the house for quite a while and had almost dug a deep pit. When he heard Zhao Yunduo say to get ready to set off immediately, he drove the excavator to bury the dug soil back.
He even used a shovel to push the soil down, and when he was done he couldn't stop praising himself, "I'm really born to be an excavator! Even those trained by Lan Xiang are definitely not as good as one of my fingers!"
Zhao Yunduo patted the wheel and urged Kong Liang, "Okay, let's go."
Kong Liang drove the excavator, humming towards the location selected by Zhao Yunduo.
Zombies move slowly, and it takes a lot of time to lure them into the pit, so digging the pit and luring them away can be done simultaneously.
Zhou Micheng drove the car away, with Liang Yuanyuan sitting in the passenger seat. The trunk and back seat of the car were filled with boxes of diesel.
After they left, Zhao Yunduo and Wu An each drove a motorcycle and went in opposite directions.
Although Zhao Yunduo seems to be alone, Shen Linglan is also in her consciousness. Shen Linglan is playing war songs for Zhao Yunduo in another world, such as "Oooh! Against the odds, against the odds is wild", "Defend our hometown, defend the Yellow River, defend North China", and "I love the way you walk alone in the dark alley, I love the way you don't kneel", which made Zhao Yunduo's head magnify.
"...Lan Baoer, can you sing some quiet love songs? They give me a headache."
Shen Linglan was not only comforting Zhao Yunduo, but also comforting her own nervous heart. After she delivered the things, she could no longer help Zhao Yunduo, and she was anxious in her heart.
She took a look at the surveillance in her room, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
"Bao Er, it's dangerous when you can't see behind you while riding a motorcycle."
After buying a motorcycle today, the clerk gave her two extra helmets. Shen Linglan didn't give them all away, so they just happened to come in handy now. She installed a bracket on the helmet and placed two miniature cameras on top of the helmet, one facing forward and one facing backward, and then passed them to Zhao Yunduo to let her wear it on her head.
Zhao Yunduo was disgusted, "I look like an idiot when I put on the helmet."
"Safety first! Put it on!"
Shen Linglan even thoughtfully painted a cloud on the helmet with a blue brush.
After finally convincing Zhao Yunduo to wear it, Shen Linglan gained two perspectives, and it was as if she was riding on a motorcycle with Zhao Yunduo.
"Wow..." Shen Linglan had never seen such a desolate land. Even in the mountains of her hometown, there were no people but only flowers, plants and trees. But in the end times, it was endless...
"The soil was all black and looked like it was wet."
Zhao Yunduo shook her head, and the video screen shook with her movements. She said, "No, it's not wet, but it smells bad."
