Chapter 273 Expedition 8 (400 votes plus updates)
"Let's talk about climate change first. Human beings have basically disappeared. There are suddenly billions of particularly capable creatures on the earth. It is said that the climate will definitely change, but it should not be too drastic in a short period of time. Even plateaus can be submerged. The floods and earthquakes that shattered the earth’s crust are unlikely. Zombies chasing people is really hard to guess, I hope not. If zombies become so smart, we will have no way to survive. No matter how many bullets, the face It’s useless for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of zombies, right?”

Put the back of the chair down a bit, lie on a half-lying position, cover the cigarette butt with your hand and smoke, leave only one pair of eyes higher than the car window, glance around from time to time, chat and keep watch, and it is not easy to be discovered.

"Oh, there's no danger in saying that. Let those disgusting guys stay. Anyway, if you don't mess with them, they won't run around. Kill a few when you have time. Sooner or later, they will all be killed."

Song Changsheng nodded, put his mind to his stomach, and became more optimistic about the future prospects. No one wants to live in fear all day if he can live a solid life.

"Actually, the most troublesome thing is not the zombies, nor the weather. Do you know what it is?" But Hong Tao didn't intend to end this topic, in fact, he just started it.

"Ah? There's something even more powerful...I don't know..." The heart that had just let go halfway, immediately lifted up again, but no matter how hard Song Changsheng thought about it, he couldn't think of anything more terrifying than the flood and earthquake zombies.

"You may not believe it, but the more powerful thing is the plant. Look, don't you believe it? Listen to me slowly. It won't take long for the plants to grow wildly, and neither the reinforced concrete nor the asphalt road can stop their root system .”

"The mechanical equipment that is very important to us can only be scrapped once it is entangled by them. We want to plant the land, but the plants don't agree. They have to compete with the crops and vegetables for sunlight, water, and space. In the future, the land that needs to be planted will be large. No, weeding alone will exhaust everyone, don't do anything all day long."

"If you have cultivated land, if you do not have herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers, you can calculate how much labor is needed per acre of land, and how many acres of land can be planted by us, is it enough for self-sufficiency?"

Hong Tao has never planted the land himself, but he has seen how the ancients farmed the land. The labor intensity is not directly proportional to the output, and few modern people can bear it.Therefore, it is not just zombie disease that really poses a fundamental threat to human beings, but nature.

The zombies are not just an introduction, destroying the technological advantages of human beings, allowing humans, plants, and animals to stand on the same starting line again, and have a fairer duel.

"... I heard from the elders that if there was nothing in the past, the output would not even reach one-third of the current level. A person needs at least seventy percent of the land for food and vegetables throughout the year, multiplying by three... Almost two mu of land is enough for one person. In the past, a strong laborer in the village only planted four or five mu of land, which was already exhausting. Hundreds of mu of land... we really can’t grow it by ourselves.”

Song Changsheng may not be able to fully understand other things, but he may understand farming better than Hong Tao when it comes to farming.It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.It turns out that it is not easy to find a self-sufficient place where there is no competition from the rest of the world. The main reason is the shortage of labor force.

For someone like him who had farmed land when he was young, he is incomparable to his parents without modern machinery. It is good to be able to support half of the labor force.Most of the rescue teams were urbanites, most of whom were not even half of the labor force, and the prospects suddenly dimmed again.

"You've missed one more powerful thing... As long as plants take root in the city, all kinds of animals will follow, and most of them like to eat the food grown by humans."

"I don't know if you've seen it, but I've seen with my own eyes how wild boars harm crops. More than a dozen small herds of wild boars went down the mountain in the middle of the night, and a dozen acres of land were ruined overnight. .”

"Animals don't just eat crops. They will eat the food and clothes we store, and even hurt people. It should not be a luxury to see wolves in the city in the future. We must not only guard against zombies, but also guard against animals. They run faster than zombies." It's fast, hard to kill, and can be found almost everywhere."

"Of course, we can also use them as food... If we don't have time to restore our manufacturing capabilities, we'll probably have to use them as our main food in the future. Don't you like cooking, and it will definitely come in handy if you think about it more in the future!"

Hong Tao still felt that Song Changsheng was not gloomy enough, and added a potential threat that could be compared with plants, which completely frightened this ordinary person with no long-term vision.

"Hong, Captain Hong, you, listen..." He was so frightened that he trembled when he spoke.

"Hey hey, stay safe and don't be impatient, now..." Hong Tao was still complacent about his narrative ability at first, but just a few words can scare people like this.But immediately felt something was wrong, Song Changsheng didn't say it to himself, he looked out the window.

"Fuck... hey hey... get up, close the car door, and get ready for battle!" Slightly raised his head and glanced out of the window, although his voice was not trembling with fear, he was smart all over, and immediately put on his helmet and shouted .

At some point in the dark wilderness, a star appeared...not in the sky, but in the field, small yellow and light green bright spots, moving irregularly, and the general trend is approaching here.

"Did you hear that? Put out the bonfire and look around!" Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and called loudly.

It was a mess, and the viaduct suddenly jumped and the figures swayed.Some people were busy putting out the bonfire, some people rushed to the guardrail on the side of the road with guns, some people ran into the car, and of course, some people ran out of the car.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, tell your people not to shoot first!"

At this time, Hong Tao had already stood in the fort, looking at the messy scene not far away, he really wanted to ask Yan Qiang and Gao Tianyi what they were doing at ordinary times, didn't they even have the most basic discipline training?Although the channel of the rescue team was full of chatter like that of Toad Hollow, none of them ran around.

The overall force value of a person depends entirely on his own ability, and the overall force value of two people needs to add one more coordination. In addition to their own ability and cooperation, three or more people need to add discipline.

Without discipline is a mob. Unless there is crushing level equipment, a mob will never be able to defeat a disciplined army in a contest of the same level.There is no need to discuss and study this. History has confirmed it countless times, including myself.

"My mother will kill whoever shoots...Captain Hong, what are those things!" Gao Tianyi's hoarse roar came from the public channel, and he was obviously not satisfied with his subordinate's performance.

"Not sure, but it's definitely not a zombie. If my guess is right, it should be a group of dogs... Listen carefully, you can hear barking." Hong Tao just took out the night vision device, this equipment is the secret of the rescue team , I took three of them when I went out, but they were all hidden in my backpack.

But without the night vision device, Hong Tao probably knew what was coming. Apart from the faint barking, those bright spots also seemed familiar, but there were not so many of them when hunting before.

"Dog? Wild dog or pet dog?" This is Yan Qiang asking. The performance of the Flying Tigers is slightly better, probably because fewer people are easier to command. They have already got into the car, but two guys started the car. Forgot to turn off the lights.

"There shouldn't be any difference...You two, let's disperse the cars first, with the front of the car facing north, and maintain a single file. I have emphasized a few times with the team members that if you need to shoot, you can only shoot at both sides of the car, and you must not shoot indiscriminately. Avoid accidental injury!"

There are also pet cats and pet dogs in Ditan Park, which should be called wild cats and wild dogs now.Without human support, most of them died, and the survivors were basically medium-sized dogs. Like the survivors, they are gradually adapting to the new environment, and most of them are Erha.

It may be that there are more primitive instincts in the bones, and it is easier to adapt to wild life, especially in the northern winter.Those ornamental species that are overly favored by humans and deliberately hybridized, even if they are not starved to death, will become the dinner of other carnivores.Like more and more weasels, maybe badgers and foxes.
