Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1628 Gray clouds are pressing down on the sky, and the cyber transport convoy!
While the artificial rainfall experiment was being conducted at the Dazhangshu base, a long convoy was traveling on the road from the Dazhangshu base to the Oil City.

They were the transport team that left from the Wu City military base.

Sky, sunlight blocked by gray clouds.

Gray clouds pressed down overhead, like heavy blocks of lead gathering in the sky.

It's a cloudy and gloomy day.

Although there is still light, the gray clouds above your head make you feel suffocated and depressed.

Thick clouds covered the earth, the ground looked desolate, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt charcoal.

After so many days of drought, forest fires broke out in many mountains and forests, with ashes flying everywhere.

roadside.

There is no longer the bird songs of the past, and even the wind wanders helplessly in the desolate land with a suppressed sigh.

In this world that is about to be swallowed by gray, a convoy is driving alone on a dilapidated road, raising dust and accompanied by dull engine sounds.

In the convoy, a few cars had turned on their headlights. Their bodies were covered with scratches and dents, which reflected the cold light of the metal in the headlights.

Entering the Xiao County area, there is an endless plain ahead and the vehicle is moving forward on a hopeless road.

On both sides of the road, the once lush trees are now reduced to dry branches due to continuous droughts. They sway in the wind, making rustling sounds.

The leaves had long lost their former green color, turning yellow and brittle. They drifted in the wind and fell on the path of the convoy, looking particularly desolate.

The air was filled with the breath of death, and all life force seemed to be sucked away by the thick clouds and coldness.

The convoy continued to move forward, and the tires made a dull sound as they rolled over the cracked ground.

Xiao Hu climbed onto the roof of the armored vehicle, opened the cover, and looked at the thick clouds in the sky with a frown.

He muttered, "Why are the clouds getting thicker again?"

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He and Zuo Ruxue were in charge of the transport team, transporting supplies back and forth between the northern border, the oil city, and the large camphor tree base.

The responsibility is heavy!

The food and supplies needed in the Oil City and the trading market need to be transported from the headquarters base and the North Territory, and the oil needed in the headquarters base and the North Territory also needs support from the Oil City.

Up to now, the three places have formed a good closed loop, relying on each other and supporting the development of each place.

He picked up the intercom and contacted the team:
"Report by name."

"1st Squadron."

zizi——

"1st Squadron is fine."

"2st Squadron."

"2st Squadron is fine."

After the inventory was completed, Xiao Hu contacted Zuo Ruxue.

"Lao Zuo, I see the clouds are getting thicker, you stay behind and watch."

zizi——

Zuo Ruxue, who was in charge of the rear of the convoy, received Xiao Hu's message and picked up the intercom to reply:

"I know. You should also be careful ahead. The drone should conduct more careful reconnaissance."

"Also, the clouds didn't become thicker, but changed color. They were white before, but now they are gray."

A few days ago, the clouds were also very thick, but at that time they all looked white.

Since the water droplets formed by water vapor are small, the light that passes through is mainly scattered. Even if the clouds are thick, the impact on the light is not great.

But now it seems that because there is a lot of water vapor in the clouds, the light is mainly refracted, which has a great impact on the light.

From the original white clouds, it has turned into the current gray clouds.

Xiao Hu frowned and asked:
"Does that mean that the sun's ultraviolet rays have become weaker? Is it possible that wall-climbing zombies will appear?"

They are not afraid of any other kind of mutant zombies, but they are afraid of two situations.

A large zombie wave, and wall-climbing zombies appeared.

Zuo Ruxue pondered for a while and said:

"I don't know, but I think it's possible. Let's turn on the combat readiness UV light matrix."

"But if we turn on the combat-readiness ultraviolet light matrix, it will consume a lot of electricity," Xiao Hu said hesitantly.

Zuo Ruxue said firmly:

"It's okay. We have refueled at the Wu City Military Base. It will definitely be enough to support us to Oil City."

"Just in case, we're afraid that wall-climbing zombies will appear. If wall-climbing zombies appear, our motorcycle team will be in danger."

"Okay." Xiao Hu agreed immediately after hearing Zuo Ruxue's words.

The safety of the transport team members is more important than the extra fuel consumed.

Subsequently.

Zuo Ruxue gave the order.

"Everyone, activate the combat readiness UV light matrix!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

After receiving the news, each squadron will pass the notice to everyone.

Their convoy had more than two hundred vehicles, stretching for two or three kilometers.

Because the fleet was too long, it was divided and managed into six squadrons.

After everyone received the message.

They all turned on the combat readiness ultraviolet lamp matrix.

The transport team has been established for some time and is gradually becoming more formal.

Because of the robbery by doomsday thugs in the past, a motorcycle mobile team was added to be able to mobilize and provide support at any time.

But later, when they were transporting oil from Oil City to the North, there was an accident on the road and several vehicles broke down. The repairs took time, which delayed their search for a shelter for the night.

So they found a place nearby and surrounded the vehicles in a circle, forming a double-layer wall to block the zombies.

But that would be too troublesome, and it would require finding a large area to park more than 200 cars at the same time.

There are limitations.

Behind,

The headquarters base modified their transport vehicles, connected electrical wires, and installed ultraviolet light matrices on the bodies of the vehicles.

This is because in some special moments, it is impossible to find a safe shelter and one can only stay in the car to avoid the wall-climbing zombies.

rub!
A truck driver flipped a button.

In an instant, two ultraviolet lights on both sides of the car's windshield suddenly turned on.

On both sides of the carriage, two rows of small ultraviolet lamps are lit.

The cars are arranged in a row, and the ultraviolet light of the car behind shines on the car in front.

This means that except for the last car, every car in the convoy is protected by ultraviolet lamps in front, behind, left and right.

And at the rear of the last car, there are also two ultraviolet lights to defend against the wall-climbing zombies coming up from behind the car.

After the convoy turned on the combat readiness ultraviolet light matrix, a convoy emitting purple-blue light was driving on the gray land.

The purple-blue light has a cyberpunk, postmodern technological feel.

And in this drought, when everything is withered and yellow, in this atmosphere covered with thick clouds, it is so depressing that it makes people unable to breathe.

This convoy is surprisingly harmonious with the surrounding environment.

It's as gorgeous as an alien team from a science fiction movie.

There is just one problem.

Too flashy.

Chang Ze, who was driving a sidecar motorcycle, was illuminated by the purple-blue light and his eyes felt a little painful.

This kind of ultraviolet light is not friendly to human eyes.

He rubbed his eyes, drove the motorcycle with one hand, and fumbled in his arms with the other hand, took out a pair of yellow glasses and put them on.

There are also two small ultraviolet lights flashing at the front and rear of his sidecar motorcycle.

Xiao Hu returned to the armored vehicle from the roof of the armored vehicle.

Their car was driving in the front, with a huge searchlight on the front. Although there was light now, it was too dim to see clearly.

They are now maintaining a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, which is relatively fast in the apocalypse.

Make sure you have a clear view of the road ahead.

Xiao Hu sat next to the drone operator. Through the images transmitted back by the drone, he saw a very magnificent scene.

The purple-blue convoy stretching for two or three kilometers was extremely conspicuous on the gray ground.

"You keep an eye on it. If you find any zombies, tell me immediately. I'll take a nap for a while." Xiao Hu said to Xiong Hong who was controlling the drone.

"Okay, captain, you can rest assured." Xiong Hong raised his head and replied.

Xiao Hu saw him looking up and said:

"Control the drone well, look at the picture, don't look at me."

"Oh."

Time passes slowly.

After they left the Takeshi Military Base, they crossed the most dangerous section of the river bridge.
Because there are always a large number of zombies in the Yangtze River, they have to cross the bridge.

So every time you pass this road, you have to be alert and pass through it as quickly as possible.

After safely crossing the cross-river bridge, the road ahead was relatively safe based on their experience of so many transportation trips.

An hour later, they arrived in Dawu County.

There are only a hundred kilometers left to the Oil City, and they will be able to reach the Oil City in two hours.

suddenly!

Xiong Hong saw a horrifying scene in the drone. Thousands of zombies appeared on the road ahead, and these zombies were migrating to the north.

"Captain! Something's happening!" Xiong Hong quickly woke up Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu, who had been planning to take a nap, fell asleep unknowingly due to the shaking of the vehicle. When he heard Xiong Hong's voice, he opened his eyes.

"What's going on?" Xiao Hu asked with a strong nasal tone.

"Look, so many zombies suddenly appeared in front of us. I don't know where they came from!" Xiong Hong said quickly.

Because the drone flew farther and higher, the zombie group was still six or seven kilometers away from them.

Xiao Hu stared at the drone screen with a frown on his face.

“Why are there so many zombies?”

"Genzi, map." Xiao Hu said to another team member in the armored vehicle.

After getting the map, Xiao Hu found their current location. From this location, going north, they can reach the Oil City directly.

Could it be that all these zombies are heading to Oil City?

wrong.

It's not raining, and these zombies don't have a keen sense of smell, so there's no way they're going to the oil city.

He stared at the northeastern direction on the map and noticed a small, blue, irregularly shaped circle.

This place represents a lake reservoir.

Could it be that these zombies are heading to this lake?

It is possible. After all, zombies like water. Now that it is so dry, it is reasonable for zombies to run to places with water.

But, these damn zombies are blocking the road.

Walking so slowly
Xiao Hu quickly calculated the distance between the lake in the northeast and the zombie group.

"Five kilometers, which will take about two hours based on the zombies' walking speed."

"If we stop here and wait for the zombies to leave before going over, we will waste two hours."

He glanced at his watch. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon. He had originally expected to arrive at the trading market at 4:30.

If they were delayed for two hours by the zombie horde, they might not be able to arrive in time for the transaction before dark.

Change the way?

Xiao Hu stared at the map and found a route. There was a fork in the road ahead. He needed to drive east, then north, and finally west to reach the oil city.

Due to the detour, the journey is estimated to take two hours longer.

Difficult to handle!

"Everyone in the convoy, slow down and maintain the minimum speed." After Xiao Hu thought for a moment and failed to come up with a solution, he immediately ordered the convoy to slow down.

Avoid encountering zombie hordes.

"Lao Zuo, the drone detected a group of several thousand zombies seven kilometers ahead. I suspect that these zombies are heading to the Dawu County Reservoir in the northeast."

"The Dawu County Reservoir is about five kilometers away from the zombie group. At their speed, it will take them two hours to leave the road."

"Or there is another way, which is to take a detour and take the G346 highway in the east, which will also take two hours."

"Both methods require an additional two hours, but it's already half past two.
It normally takes two hours to drive from here to Oil City. If we add another two hours, we may not be able to reach Oil City before dark."

"I'm a little unsure, what do you think?"

When Zuo Ruxue heard Xiao Hu say on the intercom that everyone should slow down, she felt that something was going to go wrong.

After hearing his explanation, I suddenly felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

Both methods require wasting two more hours.

It's November now, and it gets dark early, around 6:10 in the evening.

If they were to spend two more hours, they would definitely have to travel at night.

night road
They absolutely don't want to leave unless they have to.

Because at night, especially when there are thick clouds like now, after dark, it is completely pitch black where you can't see your hand in front of you.

The wall-climbing zombies will definitely come out, and they will most likely encounter them.

"I don't think the detour is a good idea. We are not familiar with that road, and it would be very troublesome if something unexpected happened."

Xiao Hu said: "So according to you, it means wait?"

"Hey!"

Xiao Hu suddenly had an idea, "Why not just blow up the zombie horde and clear a path!"

"no!"

Zuo Ruxue refused without hesitation:
"I don't think it's good. The sound of the bombardment is huge. Although it can eliminate the zombies blocking the road ahead, it will also attract more zombies."

"Besides, have you ever thought about it? These zombies are on the road. If you blow it up, the zombies will die, and the road will be ruined. How can we take this road later? "

"Uh, cough cough, you are right." Xiao Hu was a little embarrassed and responded with a dry laugh.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Hu asked.

"How about we just drive over and crush them instead of firing cannons? The road won't be damaged. With our cars, we can definitely carve out a way out."

Zuo Ruxue no longer wanted to complain about him.

Said faintly:
"Brother! We still have a motorcycle team. What if they are surrounded by zombies?"

"And according to transportation regulations, you should never take risks unless necessary. You should know that."

Xiao Hu was a little annoyed. He knew that Zuo Ruxue was right, but he had no choice but to solve the current problem.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What do you say we should do? I'll listen to you."

If it were his temper, he would just rush forward.

He is brave and courageous, but always lacks one thing in his mind.

Zuo Ruxue, on the other hand, is careful, steady and considerate.

The two often quarreled, but Zuo Ruxue was always able to restrain Xiao Hu and make him obedient.

Zuo Ruxue thought for a moment, looked at the imperial concubine next to her and asked:
"My Lady, you have a lot of ideas. What do you think is the best way to go about this?"

The imperial concubine's eyes turned and she said:

“Wait for the zombies to pass. Anyway, we have activated the combat readiness UV light matrix now, so we don’t have to worry about zombies climbing the wall when it gets really dark.

It will only take about two hours if we arrive at 6:30.

We drove in the dark and it would take us no more than ten minutes to reach the market."

"Although the trading market closes at six o'clock, our situation is special. We can ask them to close the gate first and then open the city gate after we arrive. Anyway, there is the city wall, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Why don't you contact Oil City first and see what they say?"

Zuo Ruxue thought for a moment and nodded after hearing this:
"That makes sense, okay."

So she sat down at the radio station and contacted Oil City.
