Chapter 249 Pre-war preparations
After two days, the moat was finally built.
After the water was turned on, it showed its effectiveness, blocking a large number of zombies on the other side and making it difficult for them to get over. Some were squeezed and fell into the water. Zombies could not swim, so they sank directly to the bottom. Some were torn into pieces by zombie fish swimming from the river.
The zombies on the inner side of the river had been cleaned up, and only a few zombies could cross the river. This also reduced a lot of pressure on the soldiers stationed on the wall and saved ammunition.
However, they could only relax for less than a day, because the corpse tide was coming.
The army that went out to look for supplies the day before also came back with several carts full of supplies.
When they came back, they informed the base that they were being chased by zombies. There happened to be a bunch of psychics repairing the moat below, so they sent a few people to follow the helicopter to provide support.
The people who were looking for supplies adopted Yun Shuhuai's suggestion and used the helicopter to lure away the zombies, while the others took the opportunity to move the supplies.
Several helicopters were operating at the same time, which created an excellent opportunity for the comrades who were moving supplies and minimized the losses.
However, when they came back, they encountered a large number of zombies rushing to the base. The helicopter could not lure them away, so they were stuck on the road, and everyone could only attack from the roof of the car.
It happened that their location was not far from the base, so it was convenient to provide support.
The few people who came to support them joined forces with the soldiers on the top of the car and quickly eliminated them.
"I didn't expect them to really get out."
Xi Qing exclaimed as she watched the trucks of supplies driving into the base gate.
"After all, they are responsible for the entire base. A tide of corpses is coming soon. I don't know how long we have to hold it off. We need material support." Yun Shuhuai looked at the soldiers who were almost one-third missing and were covered in dust and sighed, "It's really admirable that they went out knowing it was so dangerous."
These days, in addition to repairing the moat, the base has also entered a wartime state. Various weapons and equipment have been transported to the walls and fully armed. Even the seldom used missiles have been erected. This kind of thing cannot be produced now. One less is one less. It is powerful and is only for dealing with more critical situations.
Unless other sources of replenishment are found, the military bases are far apart, and no one knows whether they have been destroyed, whether the equipment is damaged, how many zombies are hidden inside, and whether the zombies' attack will detonate the ammunition, etc.
This corpse tide is related to the life and death of the base, and it has to be used even if it is reluctant.
According to front-line observations, the corpse tide will arrive at dawn on the third day, and the superpowers in the base are also ready to welcome the moment that concerns everyone's future.
Although the base is panicked by the arrival of the corpse tide, some people are spreading negative emotions, believing that the base will be destroyed, so it is better to have fun in time, and some people with bad mentality are afraid of being bitten to death by zombies, so they commit suicide directly.
But most people still had a strong desire to survive. If they resisted, they still had a chance of survival. If they did not resist, they would surely die.
On the night when the tide of corpses descended, no one slept.
Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing also made preparations in the villa early.
They replaced all their equipment with the latest ones, and even had spare ones.
Because Yun Shuhuai knew that the fight would take a long time, and she could not take things out of the space in front of so many people, so she had to carry all the necessary equipment with her.
Xi Qing alone had three weapons hanging around her waist, an arm blade tied to her arm, and a bulletproof vest on her body.
Yun Shuhuai also went to the space to make a lot of energy batteries, strung them into bracelets or necklaces for everyone to wear, so that he could save his superpowers to the greatest extent, thereby saving the crystal cores consumed to replenish energy, and also strengthen the strength of superpowers, enough for everyone to protect themselves.
Ye Zixu was very excited, because he had been praised by many people for killing zombies outside in the past two days. They all praised his superpowers for being powerful and helping a lot, which gave him great encouragement, so he couldn't wait to kill more zombies.
But after Yun Shuhuai finished packing, he said, "Xiao Xu and Xiao Wan stay in the base, we'll go out."
"Huh?" Ye Zixu was stunned, "Why?!"
Yun Shuhuai had clearly equipped him, didn't he say that they were going to fight together?
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do nothing. I'm worried that when the tide of corpses comes, there may be problems in the base that you will need to deal with."
"What kind of situation could happen?" Ye Zixu pouted and said reluctantly.
Ye Ziwan asked, "Sister Yun, are you afraid that someone will break into our home?"
"Yes, but that's not the most important thing." Yun Shuhuai said seriously, "I'm worried that zombies
will run in." Ye Zixu asked in confusion, "What? Will zombies run in? As long as the front line fights back hard, won't the zombies be able to break through?"
Yun Shuhuai rubbed the boy's furry hair and said, "You think too simply. Do you remember the first time Xi Qing and I met you? We were ambushed by those 'throwers' scattered in the wild outside your village, causing the pot meat to disappear."
"Ah! I remember now. They are the zombies that can throw things. They can pick up a big stone and throw it far away. One time I went out to see if there were any passers-by who could help me, and I was almost hit by them. Fortunately, I ran fast."
Ye Ziwan said, "So Sister Yun means that this kind of zombies will appear in the corpse tide?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yun Shuhuai said, "Don't forget that zombies have superpowers. If zombies with certain superpowers attack at the same time, they are likely to destroy the city walls. Earth-type zombies may also drill in from underground. Therefore, people must be left in the base. If zombies come in and infect ordinary people, you will need to deal with them."
"I understand!" Ye Zixu said firmly: "Then my role is to ensure that the zombies that run in don't bite people."
Yun Shuhuai smiled: "Yes! But don't be too strict on yourself. It's mainly to prevent the zombies from breaking through from the inside and minimize the spread of zombies. It's a very important job."
"We will do it well."
"Okay, the two of us are going out. You must be careful in the base. Be sure to contact us if there is anything."
"Understood!"
They were about to go out, and Yun Shuhuai thought of something again. He turned around and said to Ye Ziwan: "Oh, by the way, Xiaowan, when you come back, please tell me how the new weapon works, and I will improve it."
"I understand. Thank you, Sister Yun."
Yun Shuhuai had never forgotten to make weapons for Ye Ziwan. Considering her special ability, when she used her ability, any weapon that came into direct contact with her would be corroded. It could be said that she herself was a terrible weapon.
But the only thing that was not corroded after contact was the energy battery made by Yun Shuhuai.
Since Yun Shuhuai's own supernatural power can make him immune to Ye Ziwan's poison, the gemstone containing Yun Shuhuai's energy can also be immune to her corrosion.
Based on this principle, Yun Shuhuai discussed with the other three people and made a water gun, but what it sprayed out was corrosive venom or poison mist.
The venom is produced by itself, so there is no need to install a water tank on the water gun, and the size and weight of the weapon can be reduced as much as possible. In the end, a long tubular weapon that can be tied to the arm was made.
This is based on the principle of a high-pressure water gun. The long tube ensures that the venom can be shot farther, and it is even equipped with a sight to ensure accuracy.
An energy battery is also installed on the gun to continuously supply energy, so that it will not be easily corroded, and it can also strengthen Ye Ziwan's supernatural power.
