The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 90 Big Scene

Lyon's employees were very efficient. After his order was issued, at noon the next day, a convoy of more than 50 different vehicles traveled more than 70 kilometers to the Army's Fort Benning where Lyon was located. Near the base.

Such efficiency surprised Iron Wolf Frank and the soldiers who followed him.

But when Frank saw the dozens of excavators and delivery trucks in the convoy, the iron-blooded soldier was a little confused.

Is this to deal with zombies?

Are you here to develop real estate?

However, he was a man who didn't like to talk too much. Seeing Lyon's confident look, he just silently followed Lyon, who seemed to have turned into a contractor, watching him and assigning work to the excavators.

In fact, the task is quite simple, which is to dig out a pit 1000 meters wide and three meters deep about the length of the TNT explosive installed against the base wall, about 50 meters away.

After his calculations, such a large pit could hold 30 zombies crowded together.

After Leon finished giving orders to the excavator, he turned to Iron Wolf Frank and explained:

"These zombies look scary and are endless in number, but they are dumber than wild boars, monkeys and even rabbits and other wild animals, and they only rely on instinct to move."

"As long as the pit we dig is wider than the gap you opened and is so deep that the zombies can't climb out, this place will become an extremely strong dungeon that will trap the zombies that keep coming."

"At that time, as long as we control the drone as bait, we can trick all the zombies that can reach here into this pit."

Leon lit a cigar and took a puff himself. Seeing that Frank didn't seem to resist smoking, he handed him one too.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of pride:

"Last time we dealt with tens of thousands of zombies at the Senas Nuclear Power Plant and made many traps. In the end, we found that compared to weapons such as mines, bombs, and heavy machine guns, just digging a pit in the ground was more effective. good."

"It not only saves supplies, but also traps these zombies in large numbers."

"There will be no casualties either."

Iron Wolf Frank nodded thoughtfully and asked:
"You have trapped hundreds of thousands of corpses here. How do you plan to kill them?"

"By explosives or bullets?"

Leon looked at Frank with a slightly contemptuous look and said:
"After entering this pit, they become mice in a bear trap. Why waste precious explosives and bullets to deal with this garbage."

He took a drag on his cigar and exhaled a breath of white air.

"Besides, how many bullets and explosives are needed to kill hundreds of thousands of zombies? Do you and your soldiers have so much ammunition?"

Being ridiculed in front of others made Iron Wolf Frank's face darken a little, but what the person opposite said was very reasonable. He was not unreasonable and did not want to refute.

"Then how are you going to kill them?"

Leon pointed to some trucks in the convoy that came over in the morning, and said:

"I transported 10 trucks of gasoline from our base in Atlanta, which is more than 200 tons, but it is probably not enough to burn out so many zombies."

"It just so happens that you are very familiar with the situation in this neighborhood."

"I don't need the help of your soldiers here for the time being. Please take them to the surrounding areas to collect some gasoline or diesel and come back. The more, the better."

"If you feel that there are not enough people, I can send some people to go with you."

"When zombies gather together, using fire to deal with them is indeed a good way."

Iron Wolf Frank lowered his eyes and thought for dozens of seconds, and finally nodded to Leon and said:

"I know where you can get fuel, and I can help you get enough. As long as you give us some cars, I don't need your help."

"However, you should also be careful. The noise caused by your group here is quite big. There are other forces around here that need to be dealt with carefully."

He paused for a few seconds, then said:

"Your method should be feasible. If you encounter soldiers from the northern outpost who come to trouble you, just report my name and let me know by the way."

"I'll help you deal with them."

Leon nodded, indicating that he understood. He actually had some concerns and did not want to conflict with the local survivors.

Because once a conflict occurs, it is likely to affect his recruitment plan.

Fortunately, there are not so many coincidences in the world, and their plan went smoothly.But what makes Leon a little embarrassed is that he is also an outsider in the construction industry. The efficiency of the excavator is not as high as he imagined. The large excavator they use can only dig out a thousand cubic meters of dirt every day, even if they work overtime. , it also took them eight days to dig out such a huge pit more than 1000 meters long.

Fortunately, Iron Wolf Frank is not the kind of man who cares about everything. After he recognized the feasibility of Lyon's plan, he cooperated with all his actions without any complaints.

One morning eight days later, on the day of the operation, Leon and his soldiers, as well as Iron Wolf Frank and his soldiers, all concentrated on the opposite side of the huge pit, holding various weapons in their hands, waiting. The explosion sounded.

For safety reasons, and in order not to be underestimated by other forces and cause conflicts, Lyon transferred 100 soldiers and more heavy weapons and ammunition from the base yesterday. This also made Frank more recognized the strength of Lyon as the manager.

With a series of muffled sounds, the specially-made TNT explosive exploded on the spot. Iron Wolf Frank had a top explosives expert under his command. After his adjustment, these bombs were not only moderately powerful, but also did not produce a loud explosion.

The 40-centimeter-thick concrete wall was immediately blown into pieces the size of pumpkins. With a crashing sound, part of the rubble fell into the pit dug by Lyon and others, and part of the rubble remained in the military base.

On the other side of the wall, the zombies who had been seduced by the noise of the excavators outside the wall for many days were finally liberated. Every one of them was squeezed together without any gaps, just like a big black tide, crossing the wall. He broke through the foundation of the wall and rushed into a pit more than three meters deep.

puff!puff!puff!puff!puff!
The body fell to the ground, which can be described as dumplings. It is impossible to express the number of these zombies dropped.

Almost every second, thousands of zombies were swarmed, pushed and shouted by their companions behind, and sent into the pit. There were even many zombies that were already extremely rotten and were thrown without arms or legs. , could only squirm and crawl, and some of the more unlucky ones were directly smashed into a puddle of rotten flesh.

As the bodies of the zombies piled up higher and higher, they quickly piled up into mountains, forming a huge stepping layer of flesh, which was then stepped on by more zombies and continued to fall into the pit.

In just a few minutes, more than 10 zombies entered the kilometer-long pit.

"What a spectacular scene, Mr. Custer. It is really very practical to deal with these groups of corpses gathered together."

Iron Wolf Frank walked up to Leon with some shock in his eyes and said with some emotion:

"When we were in New York, even if we only faced a swarm of 1 zombies, we would be in a hurry and even lose a lot of soldiers."

"They are coming from all directions, tireless and fearless. The firearms in our hands cannot cause much harm to them at all, and some soldiers whose marksmanship is not accurate enough can even have no effect."

He looked at the zombies piled up in the pit, struggling constantly but unable to escape from being pinned down, and said with some excitement:
"This method is worth promoting. It is a labor-saving and safe strategy when facing unimaginable numbers of corpses."

But Leon shook his head, poured a basin of cold water on it, and said:

"This method is only suitable for dealing with corpses gathering in the wild. It is difficult to find such a wide and dignified terrain in the city. Among those high-rise buildings, once the noise we make is too loud, we need to face it from all directions. Besieged by countless corpses, the more people there are, the harder it is to escape."

Frank thought for a few seconds, thinking about the dangers his troops encountered in New York, and nodded in agreement.

Everyone was waiting outside the pit for more than ten minutes until many zombies got rid of the fate of being suppressed under them, climbed out of the pile of corpses, and gathered at the feet of Leon and the others without forgetting their original intentions.

It wasn't until there were no more zombies in the base outside the pit that Leon took out his walkie-talkie and said:
"Peggy, Sherman, send out a swarm of drones to attract zombies from other places."

A sweet female voice came over the radio.

"Got it, boss."

Looking at the accumulation of zombies in the pit, Leon added.

"Try to spread them out evenly and don't have too many zombies accumulating in one place."

"I understand, no problem, BOSS."

In the drone command center, siblings Peggy and Sherman controlled their own drones while directing a dozen other students to begin their first mission.

This mission was relatively simple, it was a decoy mission that did not require combat, so Leon specially asked the Peggy siblings to bring these students who were still undergoing training together for the first actual combat training.

Under the command of the Peggy siblings, nearly thirty armed drones gradually took off and flew into the interior of the Fort Benning Army Base with the buzzing sound of the propellers. They broke into pieces in the sky. Scattered to various locations in the base.

Using drones to lure zombies from every corner is not a very fast job. Based on the prepared maps and pre-assigned tasks, these drones started their own work.

The buzzing noise of the propellers is very attractive to zombies. According to the pre-arranged route, some of these drones can attract hundreds of zombies at a time, and some can attract dozens of zombies at a time, and even The trainees were not proficient in operation, not only did not attract zombies, but because of their operational errors, the drone crashed in the obstacle.

But no matter what, after more than three hours, after the continuous operations of thirty drones, except for some zombies that were blocked in specific areas, almost all the zombies that could move freely in the base were led to the pit. .

Looking around, nearly 20 zombies were crowded in this pit that was more than three meters deep and more than 1000 meters long. Their dilapidated bodies occupied almost half of the pit. They stretched out their rotten palms and roared continuously. Scratching the hard soil under the feet of Leon and others, there was no pause even if the fingers were broken and the palms were bruised and bloody.

The dense roars, the countless rotten faces crowded together, and the pungent stench of rotting flesh and blood simply made everyone around them dizzy.

It's hell.

Looking at the unforgettable scene in front of him, Leon thought for a few seconds, thoughtfully took down a video camera from the car, turned on the switch, and recorded all of this creepy hell on earth.

After holding the camera and recording for seven or eight minutes, he said to Frank and a team captain from the logistics department:
"Okay, let's implement the second step of the plan."
