Doomsday rat

Chapter 1175
"Boom, boom..." Suddenly there were two muffled thunders in the distance.

"Big brother, is the wave of zombies coming?" A soldier who was carrying ammunition boxes stopped, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and raised his head to ask the soldier standing guard on the roof of the carriage.

Their battalion was temporarily sent to work as porters, and they had been working in the freight station for two days.According to the plan, a train full of weapons and ammunition will come after dark. Even if you are not on the front line, you can smell the smell of gunpowder.

"It's not the sound of cannons, it's the engineers blowing up the bridge, the Yellow River Bridge! It's a pity, it will be difficult to cross the Yellow River in the future, and it will take a lot of effort to repair it." As expected of standing on the roof of the car, you can see far, Immediately resolved the confusion for the soldiers below, and at the same time expressed his emotions.

It has been more than ten years since the zombie disease broke out. With natural disasters and strategic deployment, there are only a handful of bridges on the Yellow River that can cross trains.Now that there is another one, I feel uncomfortable.

"The bridge is blowing up! No, our brigade commander is still in the south, who dares to order the bridge to be blown up!"

This explanation was already perfect, but the soldiers below were not very satisfied.He was in the first brigade, but he didn't go south with Niu Dafu, but stayed in Jinan.As soon as I heard about the bombing of the bridge, I immediately raised questions, for fear that the Engineer Corps had made a mistake.

"What are you talking about, what are you talking about, just show that you have a high voice! Hurry up and work, no one wants to sleep if you can't finish it, apply to the front line if you feel tired!" The officer led him over, and he couldn't help but say that it was just a kick in the buttocks.

"Platoon leader, my fellow countryman also followed the brigade commander to the south. Only two of us survived in the surrounding villages. Well, you can be regarded as brothers. Tell me the truth, will he come back or not?" Soldier Instead of being kicked away by this kick, he entangled the officer again, and he insisted on asking clearly.

"I said Tian Yishao, do you only have braised noodles in your mind? Isn't there only one bridge here, and the east side hasn't been bombed yet. Listen, when there is a sound over there, your brother will come back. Go, go, move quickly, what time is it, if we can't finish unloading before dark, the higher-ups will blame us, we are all out of luck!"

The officer known as the platoon leader had lost his hat and was covered in dirt. He seemed to have to be a porter along with him. His mood was quite bad, and he wasn't in the mood to answer the soldiers' questions properly.

"Hey, hey, platoon leader, don't rush to leave, can I keep my horse? It's easy to use, and it's familiar with me, and it needs to be re-adjusted for a new one. Not to mention the war. Throwing away the kitchen, with it pulling the cart, I can cook more hot food for my brothers."

But the more anxious and the more troubles came, the soldiers still held back the officer and refused to let the officer go. This time he was not asking about people, but about the animals.Pointing to a carriage not far away, he wanted the officer to raise his hand and put back the requisitioned pack horse.

"Believe it or not, I asked the military police to come and talk to you? Tian Yishao, how many heads have you grown, and you dare to fight with orders? Not to mention your pack horses, even the horses ridden by the head of the regiment will be requisitioned, and all of them will be changed to Pack horse carts transport ammunition to the position. Know something about personnel... I said you all are going to rebel, what are you doing in a daze, move it!"

The platoon leader wiped the sweat off his face, looked at the soldier in front of him, and then at the surrounding soldiers who also looked expectant, really angry.Holding the handle of the pistol at his waist with one hand, and pointing at the mountain of ammunition boxes with the other, he issued an ultimatum.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, with several loud noises, the only remaining bridge on the lower reaches of the Yellow River was also blown up by engineers, which also marked that the remaining troops on the south bank of the Yellow River finally succeeded in crossing the river before dark.

As for the equipment... Where is the equipment!After nearly a week of rapid march, the army led by Niu Dafu threw away almost everything they could throw away except a small amount of food and communication equipment. Fortunately, the reduction in personnel was not too serious, and only a hundred people were left behind.

But it doesn't matter, the bridge is gone, and there are still two gunboats on the south bank of the river. As long as these stragglers and volunteers can arrive before the zombies arrive, they can still cross the river safely.As for those who can't make it in time or simply run away without obeying the command, there is nothing to do. You can't put tens of thousands of people in danger for the sake of dozens of people.

While the human army was busy setting up defense lines, the army of zombies led by Hong Tao was also milling around on the bank of the Yellow River.The map shows that there should be a Pingyin Bridge here, but in fact it has been broken into several pieces and completely swallowed by the river, leaving only three or four piers barely above the water.

Can no bridge stop the zombies?If the Yellow River was really unstoppable more than ten years ago, even though the zombies didn't like water, they wouldn't be afraid of it. As long as they were commanded, it would not be difficult to force their way across a river several hundred meters wide and not too fast-flowing.

But now the Yellow River is far from being as docile as it was more than ten years ago.Without human intervention, this river full of sediment has gradually become less yellow, but its volume has become larger and larger. It can be estimated from the bridge body and piers left over from before that the width has at least doubled. , will naturally be deeper.

For the Yellow River, which is nearly two kilometers wide, three to four meters deep, and still in its flood season, Hong Tao was really scratching his head.It's not that I haven't tried it before, letting the zombies wade across the river from the bottom of the river with a big stone in their arms, but they didn't succeed after several attempts.

As long as the water surface exceeds the waist and abdomen of the zombie, it doesn't matter how big a stone is hugged, it will disappear immediately.In front of nature, the zombies who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, not even afraid of bullets, are as small as a leaf.

According to this calculation, even if millions of zombies are thrown in, it seems that it will not have much effect. At most, they will be washed ashore downstream, or directly buried in mud, or they will go to the sea to see each other.

Make use of the remaining bridge piers to make a fuss, Hong Tao has also tried.It is obviously unscientific to rebuild the bridge deck, and there are not so many materials available.Use the method of pulling the steel cable, the blue devils have the strength to pull it.

But apart from the living corpses, zombies, zombie dogs, and zombie rats can't climb, and Zhuma can't let Zhuma command them one by one.How can the number of several million be climbed? It is estimated that Zhou Yuan and Gao Tianyi are both dead of old, and they have not finished climbing here yet.

Not to mention that there is still artillery fire on the other side, even if there is no such thing now, looking at the small planes flying overhead from time to time, it is estimated that the alliance army will arrive soon.At that time, even if the zombies are good mountain climbers and have ready-made steel cables, they will still be unable to pass.

"I made a mistake. I forgot to calculate the changes of nature." Faced with this situation, Hong Tao had to bow his head like nature. A wise man is bound to make mistakes!
"Will there be a bridge upstream?" Seeing the always miraculous Hong Tao sitting on the ground thinking about it all afternoon, his brows were still frowned, and he began to criticize himself. Zhuma felt that there was no need to hang himself on a rope. go elsewhere.

"...Have you ever been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" After smoking most of a cigarette, Hong Tao seemed to have figured it out, and raised his head to ask an irrelevant question.

"Where is it?" Zhuma shook her head. If there was no zombie disease, she might still be living in a small mountain village on the Sino-Russian border. Except for the northern Xinjiang and the capital, her understanding of most parts of China is basically zero, even if she listened to it during training. I've said it, it's just heard.

"I hope your rebellion is not serious... Tell Alexie to get closer to us and look for bridges along the way. In addition, say hello to your sister Zhou, put off going north, wait a month or two, I will get to the west Make a big circle!"

In fact, Hong Tao still has another way to cross the river, by breaching the river!As long as you find a place with a suitable angle and dig the embankment, the depth and flow rate of the river will be greatly reduced.Even Qianli Zeguo does not affect the zombie's actions, it is nothing more than the difference between walking faster and slower.

This job is not too difficult, except that the south bank of the section from Dongping Lake to Jinan is a natural mountainous area, and most of the other middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are aboveground rivers. As long as a small opening is opened, the embankment will definitely not be able to hold it.Let the zombies do too delicate work, but they can still do it by digging the soil by hand.

And now the basin south of the Yellow River is completely uninhabited, no matter how big the flood is, it will not affect the lives of the survivors.A few years later, not only will the land visited by the flood not be barren, but it will still be good arable land, and even chemical fertilizers will be saved.
