The last emperor

Chapter 147 Huge Corpse Group
Lei Zheng took the initiative to go to Chen Lie and stayed behind to train soldiers and guard. The defense line and wheat harvesting were all completed, and the fence project began to enter the intense sprint stage. The soldiers had so many tasks that they couldn't rest for a moment.

"Driving?" Zhang Jin asked Lei Zheng.

Lei Zheng shook his head, "I haven't driven this kind of car before, so forget it."

Zhang Jin turned the key skillfully to start the car, greeted the sentinel, and the car sped away.

When Zhang Jin turned his head west in front of Xinli and entered the trail, he realized that Zhang Jin in his impression could not drive, and he couldn't help but wondered: "What kind of university did you go to? I haven't seen you drive a car before, why is that so? skilled."

Zhang Jin glanced at the fields on both sides of the road and said with a smile: "The best university is actually society. Our living environment before the end of the world is actually very good. As long as you put your heart into it, you can learn everything."

Lei Zheng nodded, learning to drive is not difficult, and he didn't pay attention to this matter any more. Looking at the zombies standing like scarecrows in the dense fields outside the car window, he frowned. It was very safe for them to drive. If you stay here, you will soon be entangled by zombies. There are so many zombies hidden in this endless field, it will definitely be a disaster.

They walked through the small road between the fields, which has only hardened in recent years. If two cars meet, one must stop halfway under the roadbed to merge. There are also many zombies scattered on this narrow field road, but their movements are slow. , were knocked aside by the car.

The nearby village can only be seen as an outline in the distance, and the farmers are not busy in the fields, and the village is even more lifeless and dead.

Looking at the deserted farmland, Lei Zheng sighed: "If there is no disaster, this year will be a good harvest. There are so many fertile fields, but we have to worry about the rations for the next year. This is the way of the world."

Zhang Jin shook his head slightly. He drove the car towards the road visible in the distance. If there is a mass of corpses in the local area, these fields will be flattened. In a few years, weeds will grow wildly, and it may become a real wilderness .

After a long field road, I finally drove onto the country road. The car drove along the road to the northwest. As usual, the country road was basically clean except for the autumn harvest. There were not many zombies. Occasionally, a few tractors and other agricultural vehicles panicked parked on the road.

"How many villages are there around here?"

Hearing Zhang Jin's sudden question, Lei Zheng thought for a while and said, "There are about a dozen of them in this area, and then go west to Xikou Town."

Zhang Jin was silent again. He continued to drive forward at the speed of the car, looking westward, and finally stopped at a small bridge.

This is the sluice gate of the canal, and it is also the road leading to the west entering the field road.

This is a main canal, but there is only a little residual water at the bottom of the canal, and it seems that it will dry up soon.

Lei Zheng saw that Zhang Jin was looking at the opposite side of Qu with the binoculars, and also followed him, his face changed suddenly, he was a little shocked and said: "That dark area is not a crop, is it?"

"It's a zombie." Zhang Jin handed him the telescope.

Lei Zheng took it over and took a closer look, suddenly panicked, and said in surprise, "Then what's going on, why are there thousands of zombies surrounding it, and the fields have been trampled flat."

"Do you still remember the noise we heard when we cleared Guangfeng?" Zhang Jin stared into the distance.

A large group of zombies gathered about three miles across the bridge, which looked like a large crop field from a distance, and the number could only be described as shocking.

Lei Zheng nodded and said: "I heard a very small sound at that time, did it come from here?"

Zhang Jin looked at the messy road and the zombies deep in the mud in the canal and said: "I'm afraid it is, the center surrounded by the zombies is obviously sunken, it must be a very big explosion, otherwise it would be impossible for the nearby zombies to be killed by a single explosion." All attracted to the past.”

Lei Zheng looked at the densely packed zombies in the binoculars and felt that his scalp was numb. He put down the binoculars and exhaled to calm down.

This is not what Zhang Jin is worried about. If he can’t be killed, he doesn’t need to provoke him, but he has deep worries from the traces on the bridge. Originally, the canal is a natural barrier that can hinder the progress of zombies, but there are not many zombies in the canal. , and there are only some near the bridge gate, not at all in the distance.

There were very few zombies in the field on the way here. It can be judged that a large number of zombies have crossed the bridge, but ordinary zombies will not take the initiative to detour and find danger. There is only a terrible guess that so many zombies can pass over the bridge. The corpse leader.

There is a very rare variant of zombies, called corpse leaders and corpse callers in the previous world. They can also summon zombies to form a group of corpses by roaring like predators, but the difference is that corpse leaders can avoid Dangers and obstacles on the road, command ordinary zombies to walk the path marked by it.

This kind of zombie is extremely dangerous to the base. It alone can organize a wave of corpses to siege. It has a strong sense of self-protection and knows how to avoid human attacks. It is a real base killer.

"Do you know what that place used to be?" Zhang Jin frowned, finding such a disaster place is really not a good thing.

Lei Zheng thought about it and said: "It seems to be some kind of processing factory. I heard that it is very active."

Zhang Jin turned the car around and began to turn back, frowning slightly along the way.

Lei Zheng was puzzled and said: "Castle Master, this place is far away from us, even if the corpses move, they don't necessarily go in our direction."

Zhang Jin shook his head and said, "I don't see such a group of corpses as simple, and they pose a great threat to us."

Lei Zheng still doesn't quite understand. It is more than ten miles in diameter from the Black Dragon Fort, and there is no direct road. It is not easy for the zombies to reach them. Why is the castle owner so worried? There are five or six hundred zombies in the two villages of Guangyuan. Isn't it still cleared up?

After returning to the village at night, Zhang Jin called the captains and Lei Zhengtang to a meeting, and he made an intelligence report.

"With our Black Dragon Fort as the center and ten miles as the boundary, the south is surrounded by mountains and forests, so there is no need for safety considerations. The situation in the east has not changed, and the north is Sifang Town. There must be a large number of zombies. The current situation is that there are thousands of zombies gathered in a factory in the northwest. In the future, our range of activities can only be inclined to the southeast, and the more serious danger to us is the northwest. We must go to Sifang Town in the future. There are hospitals and a lot of supplies there, so the environment is not optimistic."

Zhang Zhen said: "Is the castle owner worried that the group of corpses will be transferred to Black Dragon Castle?"

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "Everything is uncertain, and the corpse group is here, so our exploration to the west will be limited. After the crops wither, there will be nothing to hinder the movement of the corpse group."

Yunfei said: "Should we set the sentry point a little further to increase the early warning capability?"

"Not for the time being. The corpses in the cleared villages are seriously corrupted and are not suitable for long-term stay. If it is not safe to keep sentries in the wild too far away from the village, we will think about it after winter." He stood up and said, "Two-thirds of the wall has been completed so far. In addition to patrolling, all teams will do their best to help build the fence, and build it as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Black Dragon Castle and complete the autumn harvest."

The captains of the teams nodded, and Lei Zhengtang said: "Now that the villagers have adapted after the time has been changed, the encirclement of the main wall will not be a problem within half a month, and we can start building the main gate."

"That's it, start building the wall with all our strength tomorrow!" Zhang Jin gave the final sprint order for the wall construction.

Only when the wall is built can he feel at ease. Even if he is besieged by zombies, he is confident that the people of Black Dragon Castle can survive for three years within the wall. With no worries, he can expand outward and collect more resources to strengthen Black Dragon Castle.
