Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 184 Exploration
Wei Lichuan did not immediately tell Jiang Minglang about the notice he received, nor did he blame his old leader. Without Political Commissar Xiao, the old leader was alone and in a bad situation.

He planned to send a small team into Pingcheng to investigate and find out the situation.

But before they set off, Jiang Minglang arrived.

A group of people stood under the bridge, ready to go, and you could tell where they were going at a glance.

Jiang Minglang raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Lichuan, "Rejected?"

In fact, it was expected.

Of course, he didn't think that he was the one who had implicated Lao Wei. The inaction of some people could not be blamed on him.

He came to discuss something with Wei Lichuan. "There are so many people gathered at the North Expressway intersection every day. This is not a long-term solution. Lao Li is a talent in management, but he is worried that some people will sneak in to cause trouble. I think I want you and Lao Xu to help him check and select some people to come in."

Since Kyoto has no intention of taking care of Pengcheng, they should now consider their backup plan. For a city, lack of manpower is the biggest problem right now.

There is also an factory. Although Li Nan said that he didn't have enough manpower to open a factory, he still found a location as soon as possible. It is a plastic factory not far from the thermal power plant.

The factory is very large. In addition to the original workshops and machines, there are three empty warehouses, which is more than enough to add a paper mill.

Considering that Huacheng and Pengcheng are close to each other, when recruiting people, I plan to write on the job: former paper mill employees are given priority.

Wei Lichuan thought it was right. Didn't they say Pengcheng should be independent? Then I will be independent to show you.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"

Wei Lichuan agreed quite readily, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Jiang Minglang understood in his heart. It seemed that not only had Kyoto rejected him, but they must have also said something that made Lao Wei and them, although not yet completely separated, have plans to break away.

but
He lowered his voice to remind Wei Lichuan, "Talk to the old leader and see if he can find a way to transfer me here. Pengcheng is not a small city. I'm afraid that in the end, some people will benefit from our efforts. But if the old leader comes here and becomes the mayor of the city, then we and Lao Li will have nothing to worry about."

Kyoto is just unable to take care of this side now due to the distance, it is not that it cannot be dealt with. For example, if they send a helicopter to drop a few shells, the entire Pengcheng will be finished.

This is also the reason why Jiang Minglang did not dare to completely break off relations with that side.

Seeing Wei Lichuan frowning in thought, he added, "Just like the Jia guy was transferred to the western base, can't the old leader make this place a base as well?"

In terms of seniority, Jia cannot be compared with the old leader.

But Pengcheng cannot be compared with the Western Base, which is a really big base, but Pengcheng, strictly speaking, is under the jurisdiction of Kyoto.

However, because it is close to the dangerous Pingcheng, the government does not plan to build a base here. They did not expect Jiang Minglang to settle down here, and the unexpected Li Nan built an agricultural base.

To be honest, when I heard that someone was building an agricultural base in Pengcheng, Kyoto scoffed at it. After all, the seven cities south of Pengcheng are seriously polluted, and it has not been determined how to deal with them in the future. Why not build an agricultural base somewhere else, next to it?

Crazy?
Don’t say that it used to be an agricultural city. It’s the end of the world and everything has been reshuffled, including the land.

So in the end they only sent Wei Lichuan as a garrison and did not make any other plans. Just like City E south of Jiangcheng, there was only one garrison in the entire city, and there was no other survivors.

When Wei Lichuan heard Jiang Minglang mention the man surnamed Jia, his eyes lit up and he nodded solemnly, "Okay, I know how to tell my old leader. Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. Yu Chengping was killed in the base office, and his body was found by his old enemy. That deputy base commander Li, as you know, is the youngest son of Commander Li. He has a bad temper and is young and hot-tempered. He was surrounded by Yu Chengping's men and the man surnamed Jia, and he got angry and started fighting with them. I heard that the entire western base was almost razed to the ground that day, and more than half of their men were killed or wounded. The man surnamed Jia and the boy surnamed Li were both injured, and both are now being taken to Kyoto. The man surnamed Jia is old and not a superpower. I heard that he may not be able to survive this time."

This news was received yesterday, so Wei Lichuan had not had time to share it with Jiang Minglang.

However, when he heard that Yu Chengping was killed quietly in the office, he actually had some guesses in his mind. Although he never inquired about Jiang Minglang's whereabouts, he didn't always go to Yunxi Village, and Jiang Minglang didn't come here every other day.

However, he intuitively felt that Yu Chengping's death must have been caused by him.

Of course, he would never tell this speculation to anyone else, otherwise he wouldn't have told him about the Western Base today like gossip.

Jiang Minglang:
To be honest, he really didn't expect the sequel to be so exciting.

Not only did he kill the man named Yu, but he could also let his brother-in-law be buried with him. This could be considered a worthy death for him.

Not wanting to mention this disgusting thing again, Jiang Minglang changed the subject, "Let Qiao Fei and I lead the team to Pingcheng today. I also want to see what the frozen zombies look like."

In fact, he and Qiao Fei came here today just to take a look inside. They had to find out for themselves so that they could make specific arrangements later.

Another thing is that Jiang Minglang felt that if he brought people in, the tiger would not care, but if it was someone else, he didn't know if it could be deterred.

Thinking of this, when they crossed the high wall under the bridge and climbed onto the highway belonging to Pingcheng, the colorful figure appeared again on the highest snow peak in the distance.

"Don't even look at it."

Noticing the unfriendly look in Tiger King's eyes, Jiang Minglang reminded the soldiers behind him, "Look forward and speed up."

"Yes!"

A team of twenty people followed the footprints of the man who escaped yesterday and entered the urban area of Pingcheng in an orderly, fast and agile manner.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the orange sunlight shone on the crystal clear ice, reflecting fine colorful light, forming a sharp contrast with the hideous mummy-like faces inside.

This was just the entrance to the city, but it was blocked by zombies that looked like ice sculptures. Looking inside, there was no end in sight.

Jiang Minglang and Qiao Fei looked at each other and fell silent.

Damn, the number is really huge.

If the ice on their bodies melts and they rush towards the bridge following the scent of human beings, there will be a complete tide of zombies.

Jiang Minglang made two gestures, signaling everyone to disperse and pay attention to their steps. At the same time, the water system walked in front and sprinkled water on the gaps among the zombies.

Maybe because of the high-rise buildings on both sides, the snow on the ground is hard to get sunlight, so it melts a part when the temperature is the highest in the day, and freezes into ice again at night. Therefore, the snow here is hard to step on, almost like ice.

Even if water is sprinkled on it, it will dissolve slowly.

But they came here to investigate the situation, so there was no need to go too fast.

First, find the zombies that melted yesterday, and second, figure out what's underneath.

So the twenty people were divided into two teams, Qiao Fei led nine people to find the resurrected zombies. Jiang Minglang followed the two water system people, and the others used the long knives in their hands to break the ice bit by bit. Bang!
After advancing about 200 meters, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the ice, but before it could grab the ankle, it was quickly chopped off by a soldier. But the sound was not like chopping a hand, but more like chopping stone. If the soldier was not well-trained and his long sword was not sharp enough, he might not only fail to chop it off, but also his palm would be numb.

Jiang Minglang looked at the place where the hand was stretched out, and saw a thin and small arm sticking there, which didn't look like that of an adult at all.

Looking at the severed hand again, the palm is not big, but the fingers are slender, and are too long relative to the size of the palm, including the nails.

So this thing can no longer be called a hand, it's a claw.

The soldier moved his knife upwards along the direction of the arm, and there was a bang at first, but he didn't pull the knife away, so he pressed it down hard, and then there was a puff. Then he used the tip of the knife to pick out a small head from under the ice.

Little zombie?
As a father, Jiang Minglang felt a little heartbroken when looking at that little head.

Of course, it wasn't because he had seen too little. When he escaped from the hospital in Yunzhou, there were many children who were infected with the zombie virus or bitten by zombies. It was just that no matter how many he saw, he couldn't get used to it, let alone remain indifferent.

What hope is there for a society without children?

A fire element stepped forward, burned the picked out little head, and then burned the picked out body in the same way.

Without seeing the body and head of the little zombie, just looking at the hands, one might think that this zombie is at least ten years old, if not an adult. But the body is only the size of a five or six year old child.

In other words, after the child turned into a zombie, its hands mutated.

Everyone then became more serious, hoping to dig out and clean up the little zombies while they were buried under the ice.

Here, little zombies were dug out one after another. Qiao Fei and his group moved closer and closer. Finally, guided by a series of bloodstains, they found the melted zombies in a hot pot restaurant with its rolling door and glass door destroyed.

I don't know if it's because they ate fresh human flesh yesterday, but the faces of these seven or eight zombies, whose movements seemed a little slow, were actually more lively than the frozen mummies outside. But it was also because of this that it made people feel even more awkward.

Qiao Fei saw seven or eight zombies standing in the store, and then looked at the fresh marks of knocking on the door. His first reaction was that there were living people inside, and his second reaction was how was it possible?
Not to mention the first few months of the virus outbreak, even the extremely hot and cold snowstorms that followed, it doesn't look like it would be enough to survive here for a year and a half.

Unless there is another world inside.

Of course, it is also possible that he was one of those idiots who came here to explore a few days ago and managed to survive and hide here.

Qiao Fei tends to the latter.

The group of ten people had been leaning on both sides of the door for less than two minutes when the zombies that were originally wandering around inside suddenly stopped and tilted their heads to sniff outside.

Qiao Fei:?
Is this smelling their scent?

As the zombies staggered out of the store, a fire-type player threw a fireball at the first zombie that came out. Because he was reminded before setting out that frozen zombies might be difficult to burn, when he found that the first one couldn't burn, he threw three or four more in succession.

As for the rest, it took Qiao Fei and his team quite a while to chop off all the heads. They were so damn hard.

The two stood guard at the door, the fire system continued to burn the corpse, and Qiao Fei led the remaining six people into the hot pot restaurant.

"Is anyone there? Come out if you hear me. We're going to retreat soon."

His tone was somewhat impatient. Those people were really just looking for death because they had nothing better to do.

He repeated it again, but when he heard no response he turned around and prepared to leave.

They still have to go around inside again, so they really don't have time to waste here.

But just as he reached the door, he heard a noise coming from somewhere and a dog barking.

Got a dog?

Because of Qiqi, these grown men now have an unprecedented enthusiasm for animals, although many ordinary people still think that raising animals is not safe. What if they go crazy when it rains and get bitten to death?
Half of the people in Yunxi Village had this idea. After all, their old secretary died in the mouth of their own cat. If Lizhi had not arrived in time, the whole family might have been bitten to death.

The other half who don’t have such thoughts basically think that their own cats and dogs, whether mutated or not, are still protecting their homes and owners well.

After Qiao Fei and his people moved into Yunxi Village, the villagers who didn't want to keep cats and dogs gave them away.

Fortunately, he received a six-month-old local dog. He did not find any special abilities in it, but he liked it very much and felt like he had a companion. He cleaned the dog better than himself every day.

So at this moment, Qiao Fei's attention was all on the barking of the dog.

He turned back and walked inside, stopping at an iron door at a corner inside the stairs on the first floor. He knocked lightly first, then called out in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Is anyone there?"

".Wow!"

He was answered by a dog barking.

The iron door was locked from the inside, and from the direction where the sound came from, it could be determined that there was a basement underneath.

Qiao Fei suddenly felt that his judgment might be wrong. It was impossible for someone who trespassed here without permission to bring a dog with him.

So, there are survivors here besides the dogs?
He hoped there was, otherwise if only the dog was left, it would be very troublesome to break the iron gate and it would cause a lot of noise.

If we don't break the door, will the dog die inside?

Qiao Fei touched his chin and thought, if Qiqi was here, he would definitely not agree.

"Captain Qiao, can I try to open it?"

Qiao Fei turned his head and looked at the soldier beside him, surprised, "You still have this skill?"

The comrade smiled shyly and said, "My grandfather was a locksmith. I learned a little bit from him since I was a child."

"Okay, then you try."

He stepped aside and watched the soldier pull out a bunch of tools from his belt. His eyes widened in shock. How come he brought so many tools with him just to go out on a mission?

The soldier explained, "Our captain said that accidents are inevitable, so he asked me to take them all with me."

Qiao Fei admired him. No wonder Captain Jiang said that Lao Wei was meticulous and was right to recruit people from Pengcheng and let him go.

good night!
