“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Ye Xiao looked at the porridge in his hand and pondered, and Lin Tan Tan looked at him and pondered.
Finally, she lowered her head. Okay, it was still too ugly. She reached out to take the thermos, but Ye Xiao refused. He smiled and said, "I have to try this porridge you made yourself."
Lin Tantan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This is my first time making this. I ruined several pots before I finally made this one."
This was true. She had never cooked in her past life or this life, let alone this life. In her past life, technology was advanced and there were robots that cooked. Even if there were no such robots, Lin Tantan, a busy convalescent with a high salary and a disabled body, would not have had the chance to enter the kitchen. The last time she roasted a leg of lamb as a joke did not count. This was her first time cooking in the true sense.
Just for the significance of this first time cooking, Ye Xiao also felt that the black and red things in the bucket became cute. He looked around, smiled and pulled Lin Tan towards the clinic. He sat on the steps at the door, picked up the spoon that came with the thermos and started eating.
Lin Tan Tan asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"
Ye Xiao only tasted sweetness. Of course, since the porridge only had sugar in it, it naturally had only sweetness. The rest was a sticky, soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The texture... wasn't very good. Ye Xiao preferred lighter foods and didn't particularly enjoy sticky porridge. Even when eating noodles, he didn't like them too soft or overcooked. But this time, he showed no dislike at all and nodded sincerely, "It's delicious."
Lin Tan Tan was immediately satisfied, holding his face and saying, "I've tried this several times, and this time the sweetness is just right, and the bottom isn't burnt."
The sweetness should be just right and the bottom should not be burnt. This is all she demands of herself.
Ye Xiao smiled and quickly ate the whole bucket of porridge. His stomach felt warm. He didn't lie. He just ate some biscuits in the morning. He was really hungry after a busy day. He felt much better after eating the whole bucket of porridge.
Because everyone was gathered around the Divine Machine to observe, few people noticed the two of them eating here. Bai Cheng took a quick glance and found that Ye Xiao had actually abandoned such a large thing here to go eat by himself. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't bother him. He asked a construction team to come over and build a large room on the spot with the Divine Machine as the center.
After all, this thing is too big and too heavy to move, so we simply built a big house for it and then study it slowly.
The ones who studied it were naturally Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian. One of them was very interested in the hardware and special functions of the magic machine, while the other was very curious about the software part of such a high-tech product. They were both eager to take the thing apart immediately.
So he brought his own team members to help, and a group of people got busy. The speed of building the house was unprecedentedly hilarious. In just three or two minutes, a large wall was built to surround the magic machine on the spot, and then they began to build the roof and other parts. The onlookers could not see the magic machine, but this did not prevent them from discussing it enthusiastically and describing it vividly for those who came a little later.
Although the people outside the compound were blocked from entering by the iron gate, they all craned their necks to look at the divine plane while it was still in the sky. Some people took many photos and asked each other what it was.
Soon, someone well-informed revealed the origin of this thing. It should be a magical machine from the capital, which can release a magical energy shield to resist threats from the air. Even in the face of a group of ferocious birds that may appear at any time and anywhere, it can still fly freely in the air.
Wu Lin was in the clinic, so he naturally heard the noise outside. He vaguely heard that someone had obtained a magic machine. He was shocked and could no longer maintain his composure. He wanted to go to the window to see what was going on. However, the person guarding him leaned him against the bed, and he couldn't get out of bed at all. Instead, the violent movement caused the wounds on his body to bleed again.
A square-faced man walked in, accompanied by two other people. Both of them looked solemn and dignified. The square-faced man said, "My name is Qin Han, and I'm the leader of the law enforcement team. Please tell me in detail about everything related to the divine machine. The more the better."
He looked as if it was a matter of course, and the two people behind him took out notebooks to take notes.
Wu Lin's face turned pale, he couldn't believe it: "You really found the magic machine?" Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say a word!"
Qin Han sighed: "You know, most of our interrogation work is given to me. Do you know why?" He raised his hand, and two subordinates closed the door, drew the curtains, and walked towards Wu Lin with wide eyes.
Outside the clinic, Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao also walked into the enclosed wall. Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian were already busy. The hatch of this bulky, roughly triangular thing had been opened. Lin Tantan stuck his head in to take a look, and he had only one feeling: wow, it's so small, so low, and the entire interior design is so tacky.
She has her own private energy fighter. Although there are not many threats from the air in later generations, there are still some mutated birds. Compared with airplanes, this kind of energy fighter is safer and faster. However, the number of energy fighters is relatively small, and only the country can manufacture them. Flights must strictly follow certain set routes and cannot be flown randomly. Moreover, if you want to buy one, you must apply two years in advance. It is difficult for ordinary people to own one.
The plane that Lin Tantan was in was given to her by the country, but she seldom rode it because she was a homebody and very busy.
But no matter how little you've been there, you know what it looks like inside. Compared to one thing, it's so tacky.
At this time, she went in and walked around, then came out and walked around, with a curious face and high interest. After her curiosity was over, she couldn't put forward any opinions. Seeing that Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian all had serious faces and were groping around without a clue, she thought about it and looked around to see if she could see Xu Tianjin.
While he was looking for her, Xu Tianjin ran in from outside with his work ID from the information technology team hanging on his chest.
"Doctor Lin!" Xu Tianjin's eyes lit up when he saw her. Lin Tan nodded slightly at him. Xu Tianjin knew what she meant. He looked at the magical machine and his eyes became even brighter. He actually saw the first generation version of the energy fighter with his own eyes!
Lin Tantan had only ridden in an energy fighter and knew nothing about it, but Xu Tianjin was different. His family was rich, and he was sick and his parents took pity on him. After he recovered from his illness, they bought him an energy fighter as a gift. He knew the baby inside and out, did all the maintenance on it himself, and even took a driver's license test, although he traveled through time not long after taking the test.
Anyway, his eyes widened when he saw this first-generation machine. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were bright and straight when they saw this strange big guy, so he didn't stand out.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and ran to his team leader. Jiang Xiaotian was hacking into the central control system of the Shen Ji. He looked extremely serious, with his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem.
Xu Tianjin asked quietly about the situation. Jiang Xiaotian, who was quite impressed by this guy's creative ideas, said, "They're probably worried that the Divine Machine might fall into the hands of others. To activate it, you not only need to insert a card, but also input commands. I'm working on cracking this part right now. It's not that difficult, but I just feel like something's wrong."
Xu Tianjin mentally gave him a thumbs-up. He was indeed a master, with advanced skills and sharp intuition. He casually said, "I hear there aren't many of these things in the capital, and they're using them as a gimmick to recruit experts. I think they must be keeping the technology secret. If it falls into the hands of others, they'd rather destroy it than let others learn it. Is it possible that they've left some trick in the system that will self-destruct if hacked?"
Jiang Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, he slapped his thigh: "Xiao Xu, not bad, not bad, you reminded me! No wonder I felt something was wrong. If I decipher it like this, this iron chicken might be ruined."
Xu Tianjin smiled. Since he was already doubting and hesitating, he would definitely be more cautious. He would probably figure it out after thinking about it for a while. He was just giving him a reminder.
The reason he knew this was because China's energy fighters all had such a small backdoor. If it fell into the hands of other countries, they would rather destroy it than let others learn the most core technology. This tradition was first used on the first generation of aircraft, but it got better and better with development.
Jiang Xiaotian began clacking away at the keyboard again. Xu Tianjin went to look at the weapons R&D team who were studying the overall structure. He suppressed the urge to immediately start rambling and dissect this guy inside and out to give them a lecture. He took his time, took his time...
Lin Tantan watched from the side for a while and smiled. With Xu Tianjin around, it should not be a problem to understand, imitate or even improve the energy fighter. She scratched her head and thought, well, knowledge is power. The uneducated convalescent who did not bring any advanced knowledge after traveling through time and relied purely on supernatural powers to make a living felt emotional.
Seeing her with a puzzled expression, Ye Xiao walked over and gently patted her head: "What are you thinking about?"
"Haha, no, many people saw you bringing this thing back, and they should have guessed it was a magic machine. The capital will receive the news soon, right?" Lin Tantan said.
"I'm afraid you already know it by now, but I've also sent my report."
"Report? What report?"
Ye Xiao smiled faintly, a sly look in his eyes. "We were out and about, and we encountered Wu Lin, who was nearly killed by a tiger. We rescued him and his magic machine, and we sent a telegram to report this. What do you think of this reason?"
Lin Tantan was slightly stunned, then smiled. This way, Min Yande could no longer use the accusation that Ye Xiao had taken the magic machine for himself to pressure him.
She became a little worried again: "Will they send someone over there?"
"Not for the time being. Don't forget, we are about to face the danger of a zombie tide. We have to wait until the zombie tide passes."
As he was speaking, the law enforcement team arrived and said that Wu Lin had confessed.
The two went to the clinic again.
Qin Han was organizing his confession when he saw Ye Xiao coming and handed him a few sheets of paper. "This is all what Wu Lin said. That guy was too weak and fainted halfway through the questioning."
Ye Xiao took it and looked at it with Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan was a little dizzy at the sight of the characters. The characters were so flamboyant that she had trouble deciphering them. She glanced at Qin Han, who coughed. He had been in a hurry and had written a little faster. He added, "It's basically here. I even recorded it."
Lin Tan Tan continued to watch, and it started from the time when Wu Lin was selected as a reserve pilot of the Shenji aircraft and began various trainings.
Shen Ji is the product of a research institute with a state background in the capital. The research direction of that institute is all conceptual, and it is not easy to achieve at this stage.
They completely transformed the existing aircraft in terms of shape, structure, energy supply, flight mode, etc., and spent more than ten years to create such a magical machine. Before the end of the world, it was called a flying saucer. Although it looked very heavy, it could indeed fly and fly very fast.
The next goal of the research institute is to build an energy shield for it. Then the end of the world came. The research institute was also tenacious and continued to improve the flying saucer, and then created a crystal core energy shield. Currently, there are only five such guys in the capital. Because their flying methods and driving methods are different from conventional aircraft, and they are too rare and precious, they have taken a lot of effort to select pilots for them.
Wu Lin was selected as a reserve and underwent various trainings, then stood out and became an official Shenji pilot. It can be seen between the lines that he was very honored and proud. Then, the next day after he became an official pilot, he received a mission to come to Ning City to pick someone up.
Thinking it was just a small mission, Wu Lin was only nervous because it was his first time flying the divine machine so far, and the crystal cores in the energy chamber were only enough to support the energy shield for ten minutes, so this trip was still full of danger.
However, he unexpectedly had great luck. He encountered no danger along the way from the capital to Ning City. The energy shield did not open. The only loss was the fuel. But his good luck did not last. He came to Ning City smoothly, but... he could not leave.
Because I can’t pick up anyone.
Logically, he should have gone back after the mission failed, but Min Yande was unwilling to do so. He also knew that there were more mercenaries coming to capture Lin Tan Tan, and Min Yande himself would continue to send people, so he asked Wu Lin to continue to be on standby and not go back until he picked up the person.
This standby continues until now.
This is the cause and effect, and the operating points of the magic machine are also written at the end, but this part is rather fragmented, as if Wu Lin's words are incoherent.
Qin Han explained: "He subconsciously didn't want to reveal this information. His emotions were volatile, and coupled with his physical weakness, he fainted. I'll continue asking him when he wakes up."
Lin Tan Tan asked curiously, "How did you ask that?"
Qin Han was a little nervous when she stared at him: "My ability is to stimulate the cerebral cortex, causing people to feel pain and other discomfort. I use it to force a confession."
Lin Tan Tan: Well, it’s a very powerful ability. It won’t cause any real physical harm but it’s very torturous.
Qin Han's eyes were bright as he looked to the future: "I think I can use this ability to train soldiers in the future. I will continue to work hard."
Lin Tan Tan: "...Well, it's good." Then he silently moved away from him.
Ye Xiao noticed her actions and found them funny, then had a headache. What was more troubling to Ye Xiao than not getting the key points of the operation was that the confession stated that because the environment was harsh and survival was difficult, Wu Lin needed to find food on her own after eating the food in the magic machine. However, because she was worried that the key to the magic machine, that is, the magnetic card used to start the machine, would be lost accidentally, she did not dare to keep it with her, but hid it in a place in the building where the magic machine was hidden.
It was not far from the Divine Machine, but... when Wu Lin hid the Divine Machine, he smashed all the windows on the second floor with a machine gun and drove in. But when they got the Divine Machine out, they couldn't drive it, so they could only go through the main gate. Moreover, because the gate was too narrow, they removed the doorposts of the gate. As soon as the Divine Machine was taken out, the building was half collapsed.
So now it is very difficult to go back and find a magnetic card.
It says above that both the magnetic card and the instructions are indispensable. Now we can only hope that Jiang Xiaotian can decipher the system.
It would take some time for Jiang Xiaotian to decipher the code, so Xu Qin stopped disturbing him before that. After he had had enough of looking at the magic machine, he came out of the temporary warehouse-like house that was currently being roofed. The most important thing at the moment was the supernatural weapon.
Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao were also very curious about what he had done with the tiger bones, so they ran from the clinic to the weapons research and development department next door.
Xu Qin used the shape of the tiger bone to make a beautiful scimitar. The handle was wrapped with thick cloth strips. A small hole was hollowed out in the bone at the edge of the cloth to install a device that could store energy. The blade followed the center of the tiger bone to present a beautiful and primitive arc. The back of the blade was not processed in any way, but the blade was polished to a very sharp edge.
It was so sharp that Lin Tantan almost got cut when he tried it with his fingertips.
She asked Xu Qin what it was made of to make it so sharp. Xu Qin said that tiger bones are inherently very hard and have natural toughness, and because it is an ice-type mutant tiger, its bones naturally have ice characteristics, and ice itself represents sharpness.
In short, the bone itself is good, and with a little polishing it can become an excellent weapon.
According to its characteristics, Xu Qin filled it with ice energy.
Worried that Lin Tantan might injure him, Ye Xiao acted as a knife tester. After flipping the switch, he slashed with his blade. Unlike the previous gold-type attack, which could reach targets seven or eight meters away, the white ice-type energy couldn't reach as far, but it was just as sharp and had a built-in freezing effect. Experimenting with mutant beast flesh, one cut instantly froze both sides.
Even if the switch is not turned on, using the stored ice energy, just cutting it like this can slightly freeze both sides of the cut.
Ye Xiao immediately said: "The distance is not far enough, so it is a bit disadvantageous to fight against zombies, but it is very suitable for fighting against mutant beasts." This freezing effect can greatly interfere with the opponent's actions.
Xu Qin nodded. "I thought so too. A complete set of tiger bones can be made into at least twenty weapons. I will also try to see how to make the most appropriate use of the tiger tendons, tails, skins, and fangs."
Ye Xiao said: "Thank you for your hard work. Do you want to add more people?"
"It would be great to have someone suitable. We're really short on manpower, and I want to focus on the Divine Machine next." Xu Qin said, "Also, I'll try capturing mutant beasts in the future to see if they can be used as weapons."
Ye Xiao naturally agreed.
…
While they were discussing, there was another sensation at the Ning City base. The news that the Zhengyang Brigade had obtained a magical aircraft that was only available in the capital spread quickly. Everyone was jealous, envious, or curious, and wanted to see the novelty.
Lu Jianping got the news very early, but he did not get the news through his subordinates. Instead, he received a direct call from his superior who came thousands of miles away. The person on the other end of the phone asked Ye Xiao if he had obtained the magic machine and what the specific situation was. Lu Jianping was confused and asked his subordinates to inquire about it before he found out what happened. He hurried back to the Zhengyang Brigade.
Ye Xiao received him warmly. When he saw the big guy with his own eyes and saw that Ye Xiao's people were studying it, he sighed deeply in his heart. Ye Xiao is going to the sky! Well, with this thing, he can really go to the sky without any worries.
He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You told Min Yande that you saved the divine machine by saving people, but now you've dismantled the divine machine. How are you going to explain this?"
Ye Xiao said leisurely, "If this divine machine fell into your hands, Chief Lu, could you resist the urge to dismantle it?"
Lu Jianping choked, then whispered, "Be careful, kid. There are still many missiles over there. If you provoke them, they will shoot you down with an intercontinental missile. Believe it or not?"
Ye Xiao sighed: "I believe it, but it hasn't come to that point yet, so I won't be so crazy. So I just want more self-protection power. When my people learn the technology, I'll give you a copy. Do you want it?"
Lu Jianping's heart began to beat rapidly.
He knew more about the situation in the capital. With the industrial level after the end of the world, it was not easy to build a new divine machine. The existing five machines had already been taken by owners. Even if a new divine machine was built later, it would take him a long time to get it.
But it is very troublesome to have no aerial flying equipment, especially after the only fighter plane was destroyed by Han Ying.
He was immediately attracted.
At this time, Ye Xiao said, "Ning City is an industrial city. After this zombie tide is over, I plan to build a few factories. You have military engineering talents, right? You can lend them to me when the time comes. When the divine machine is produced, I will give you the first one as a thank you for your care for us over the past few days."
Lu Jianping's heartbeat quickened. He glanced at Ye Xiao's gentle smile and agreed, "Okay! Then you guys study it carefully. Do you want me to send some people over right away?"
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "That would be better."
Lu Jianping had a strange feeling that Ye Xiao seemed to have changed a little. Since he came back from outside yesterday, something seemed to have changed in him. He would never smile like this when talking to him normally.
Lu Jianping felt like he was being completely dragged onto a pirate ship, although he really wanted to get on this pirate ship in the first place.
He couldn't help but wonder, could this guy be even more provocative than Han Yingyi, perhaps even more evil? Wouldn't that put him in a lot of danger? Previously, he'd considered Ye Xiao a decent person, allowing him to thrive in the base without much concern. His subordinates were a bit worried, but with his growing momentum and the subtle changes he'd noticed, he had to give it some thought.
Ye Xiao sensed he was observing him subtly, but pretended not to know. After he and the others were away, he whispered, "Captain Lu, we've been very happy together these past few months. You've treated me with sincerity, and I don't want to hide anything from you. I'm just going to let you know in advance that I'll find a suitable place within a year at the latest."
Lu Jianping's eyebrows jumped: "Why did you come here?" Although he asked this, he already had the answer in his heart.
As expected, Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, build your own base."
Lu Jianping showed surprise on his face, and this surprise was not fake. He was not surprised that he had such an idea. If he were in his position, he would have no way out if he did not set up his own business, and he would naturally take this path. He was surprised that he actually told him, and so long in advance.
Ye Xiao continued, "Before I leave, I'll still trouble you, Commander Lu, to take care of me. Don't worry, I won't be aggressively recruiting people to bring all the talented people in the base to my side. And if you have any difficulties, such as too much population pressure or too much food pressure, our Zhengyang Brigade can help you with some of the burden to a certain extent."
Lu Jianping nodded in confusion. He was still thinking about it even after leaving the Zhengyang Brigade. Someone walked in. He looked up and smiled: "Xiao Se."
The person who came was a handsome mixed-race young man, it was Ruther. He had eaten two snake gallbladders before and almost died. Later, he ate supernatural ingredients for a long time and finally saved his life. Then it was a long time of recovery. He has not fully recovered recently. There was no way. The snake gallbladder was too poisonous. His body was seriously damaged. Although he has been completely detoxified now, there are still many sequelae.
He was a strong-willed person and didn't want to go out and see anyone until he was fully recovered. He asked with concern, "Uncle, are you worried about something? Is it that magic machine?"
Lu Jianping touched his forehead and told him what Ye Xiao had said to him.
Ruther's expression was a little complicated. When Ye Xiao first came, he hated those people. Later, when he brought people to guard the city wall during the heavy rain for more than half a month, he gradually changed his mind about them. Then he was poisoned. If it weren't for Lin Tan, he would have rotted into a pool of blood long ago.
He asked, "Did he really say he would find a place to set up his own base?"
Lu Jianping nodded. "I don't think he's lying. I believe him. He was able to create the Zhengyang Brigade in just a month or two, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he spent a little more time building a base. We were in such a hurry back then that we didn't even have time to choose a site. There's only a mountain behind us, and there's not much water nearby. It's not a good place. I guess he's too lazy to compete with me."
Luther comforted him and said that this was also good for them, as they had the mountains behind them and a natural barrier.
Then he thought about it and said that this was a good thing. This way there would be no conflict between the two sides, and they would not have to worry about their development threatening them.
Lu Jianping nodded. This was what he cared about most.
Luther added, "Why not give them some more territory?" Meeting Lu Jianping's gaze, he said, "He wants to build a base, and the current manpower is definitely not enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said he could share the pressure if there were any. It just so happens that there are so many people in the base that we simply can't manage them all. Instead of letting those small forces take advantage, why not give some to Ye Xiao and give them some more territory? They will definitely continue to build, and when they leave, all they'll leave behind are ready-made houses."
For the first time, Lu Jianping realized that his nephew was very cunning, but this idea was a good one. He couldn't spare the time to engage in infrastructure construction, so it was fine to let Ye Xiao help him, just as collecting rent.
But all this will have to wait until the zombie tide passes.
At this time, Ye Xiao was also thinking that everything had to wait until the zombie tide passed. He naturally had some ideas and countermeasures for the capital, but compared to those, it was more important to deal with the zombie tide in front of him.
Compared to before the zombie tide took a detour, they had a lot more time left, but overall it was still very tense. Ye Xiao only spent a little time on the divine machine and no longer cared about it. He arranged things to deal with the zombie tide, and then it was his turn to run to Lu Jianping.
After all, Lu Jianping's talents are the main force.
The people sent out yesterday have discovered the movement of the zombie tide. As expected, they made a big circle and continued to move towards the Ning City base. Combining their satellite map, they discussed the route the zombie tide would pass through, and then they began to set traps.
The first ring of the trap is to dig a few huge pits on the path that the zombies must pass through, to kill some of them, and then set up some barriers to block the way, supplemented by fire attacks, to reduce their number as much as possible.
Then they will be diverted and brought into the abandoned city of Ning, instead of being allowed to go directly to the base from the suburbs.
Naturally, more traps need to be set up in the city. Bombs are the simplest and most efficient, but the problem is that they do not have enough ammunition to cover the entire city. Even if Lu Jianping's research institute stops all work and works overtime to make bombs, it is still not enough.
Then... continue digging, set up some other traps, and arrange for a combat team to ambush nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike. These ambushers should ideally be skilled in long-range attacks. In close combat, no matter how well the enemy is divided, they're still a horde of zombies. If you're not careful, you'll be surrounded and killed, and there's basically no way you can survive.
In short, we must consume the power of the zombie tide as much as possible, and finally retreat into the base to defend the base against the remaining zombies.
When Lin Tantan heard that they were asked to dig a hole, she volunteered. She said that when it came to digging holes, no one else could compare to her.
Ye Xiao thought of the pool on the hillside. He later learned that when he found her at the bottom of the pit, she hadn't been digging for long, but she had already dug such a big pit...
But Ye Xiao still said: "This time, almost all the earth elements in the base are mobilized..."
Before he could finish, Lin Tantan interrupted him, "Don't we have to dig a pit inside the city? Even if we mobilize all our forces, there are only a few Earth Element soldiers. If we spread them all over the city, they'll be gone. I'll definitely have to contribute. Let me dig that big pit that serves as the first trap."
She said, "You didn't see it that day, right? There was a zombie leader in that zombie horde. He was very strange. Even across the river, his eyes were terrifying. I think he must be very smart. Ordinary pits would definitely not fool him. After digging the pit, I can cover it with a layer of soil to ensure that no flaws can be seen."
Other earth-type characters may not be able to perform this skill.
Ye Xiao finally agreed to her request and handed over all the matters he was responsible for in the base to Bai Cheng, and took her to the destination by helicopter.
If he didn't use a helicopter, walking on the ground would take too much time. If Ye Xiao was on the plane himself, he could still ensure that he could deal with it even if he encountered ferocious birds.
This time we really encountered several groups of birds, but fortunately they were not large in size and were shot down before they got close.
This time it flew for more than an hour and finally stopped in a field.
They judged that the tide of zombies would pass through here.
But the range is too wide, and who knows which way the tide of zombies will go. There is a long mountain road before entering the field, a winding road in the mountains, which is almost a must-pass road.
Lin Tantan suggested digging some wide holes on this road to directly block the road.
Ye Xiao said that it was not possible to cut them off directly, otherwise the tide of zombies would most likely move over the mountain, and their direction would be uncontrollable.
Ye Xiao wanted to completely destroy this tide of zombies, rather than letting them disperse in large numbers and continuously harass the base in waves.
Considering the current population of the base and the pitiful amount of food, if the gate is closed for more than a week, a large number of people will die due to lack of water and food.
Lin Tan Tan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's dig pits for them one after another. When they bump into one, a group of them will fall in. When they bump into another, another group of them will fall in. Let's piss them off to death!"
They did it right away. After entering the mountains, there were continuous mountains on both sides, and a road winding through the mountains. You can imagine how much manpower, material resources and financial resources were spent on building this road. But now it has been abandoned here in the cold and desolate state. There are only abandoned vehicles, corpses, and zombies in twos and threes. Some are illuminated by the sun, and some are shrouded in the shadow of the mountains. The mountain wind blows, and it looks extremely desolate and desolate.
"That's it. It's too dangerous to go any further." Ye Xiao said after walking for a while.
Lin Tan Tan nodded and started to work with the other earth-type people who came with him.
This road was naturally made of cement, which was very thick, but there was mud on both sides. Lin Tantan was very cunning. She dug into the mud on the side, hollowed out the bottom of the road cement, and scraped the cement and stone layers into thin layers.
As she scraped, an idea struck her: "Why not plant the bomb here?"
Ye Xiao shook his head: "The terrain is not right. The mountains on both sides are very flat. We can't cause a large-scale landslide to bury the zombies. Bombing the road will not be very effective. It will only disturb the zombies in advance."
Lin Tan Tan said, "What if I hollow out a long section down there, put some bombs in there, and wait for them to explode when the zombie horde passes by, then a lot of zombies will fall out. It's much better than just leaving pits. If you're worried about scaring the zombie horde into the mountains, you can explode it when the zombie horde is almost gone and bite off their tails."
Ye Xiao thought about it and felt that it was okay.
Then Lin Tantan began to dig the soil with a grunt.
Her method was a bit strange. Instead of digging the soil directly, she infiltrated earth energy into the ground, making the soil underneath loose, and then let other earth-type ability users dig.
They brought a total of five earth-type esperians, two from the Zhengyang Brigade, and the remaining three from Lu Jianping's men. All of them were top-tier earth-type esperians, one even reaching level 4. Digging the soil was naturally very fast, and Lin Tantan's loosening of the soil greatly improved their efficiency while also saving energy.
They dug a lot of these long holes, each dozens of meters long, with more than ten meters between each. This was because they were worried that the zombies would notice the problem, so they combined the real and the fake. There were also sharp thorns and fragments stuck upside down at the bottom of the hole. This was done by Ye Xiao.
He used the materials available, cutting the cars on the road into pieces with his wind system. He took the metal hulls, the glass, the cargo on the trucks, and anything else he could use. He then drilled into the dug hole and plugged it in one by one. You can imagine how the zombies above would be pierced to the bone when they all fell down. Even if he couldn't kill the zombies, he could still imprison them here. Then he could throw oil drums down from both sides and set them on fire...
