Doomsday magician

Chapter 129 Just for that ton of oil
Perhaps because they had never seen so many oil barrels, the mutated zombies seemed to be curious about them.

Without any soldiers daring to rush in and shoot, the third-order mutated zombies rushed to the depths of the oil warehouse and began to toss around at will.While running and jumping, many oil barrels were brought down by it.

However, the sound of the barrels rolling, in turn, stimulated it to break those barrels.

The relatively strong iron sheet was like a thin layer of paper in front of its sharp claws, and it was easily torn apart, causing gasoline to flow all over the floor.After countless barrels were overturned and broken, even the soldiers guarding outside the warehouse could smell the strong gasoline smell.

The somewhat pungent special smell makes everyone a little uneasy!
Even outside with good ventilation, you can smell such a strong smell of oil, so you can imagine what will happen inside.I am afraid that only one spark is needed to cause an earth-shattering explosion!

"Stand back a little bit."

The lieutenant wiped his sweat with his sleeve repeatedly, and finally couldn't bear the order.

It must be admitted that it was his caution that saved the lives of most of the soldiers present.Not long after everyone retreated a hundred meters away, the mutated zombie hiding in the oil warehouse knocked over a pile of oil barrels again.The iron barrel collided with a rattling sound, causing inconspicuous sparks as it rubbed against the ground.But it was this inconspicuous spark that instantly detonated the entire oil depot!

The gasoline that had already evaporated to the extreme exploded, and the brightness that flashed instantly seemed like a small sun.

The sound of the huge explosion was heard several miles away, and the sputtering flames were thrown hundreds of meters away!
The lieutenant and the others were less than 200 meters away from the center of the explosion, so they were naturally also affected.The hair of many soldiers standing in front was scorched by the scorching air waves, and many of the burning oil spots were even stained on their bodies, and quickly turned them into burning men!

Some smart soldiers hurriedly took off their clothes, and then rolled on the spot, and there were painful cries from time to time.

However, the explosion is far from over!
After all, this warehouse contained nearly two-thirds of the base's fuel. After the first big explosion, the surrounding oil drums exploded.The blazing hot flame was tens of meters high, so that even You Huizhong, who went back to report to Xiao Jie, could see it from afar!
"My God!"

The lieutenant was appalled by the possible consequences of the explosion.

He stared blankly at the flames soaring into the sky, and the sound of the huge explosion still echoed in his ears.For a while, his brain stopped thinking, and he didn't even notice the broken iron sheet that rubbed against his side and finally embedded several centimeters into the ground!

The third-tier mutated zombie playing with fire sent itself to the sky at the moment of the explosion. In the face of such power, even the third-tier giant and that zombie elephant could only be blown to ashes!

It's just that the price of destroying it is too high!
Nearly two-thirds of the fuel reserves in the base were gone after just a few blows.Not only did the lieutenant feel dizzy, even Xiao Jie and You Huizhong, who knew the truth for the first time, also vomited blood in their hearts.The base has been tossed twice, and it can no longer afford this kind of loss!

"Don't I have that life?"

After being angry for a long time, Xiao Jie sighed, doubting himself for the first time.

It seems that everything has gone wrong since he took control of the Sichuan-Tibet base.First, the army of millions of zombies attacked, and then when the victory was about to be won, the central government gave them nuclear weapons; later, they abandoned the city and moved to the Chang'an base, and only a few days after they came, they encountered a third-order zombie attack; this is nothing However, hundreds of thousands of zombie birds also came to trouble him, and the third-order mutant zombie that sneaked into the base even got into the oil warehouse!
No matter how patient people are, they will not be able to withstand the blows when they encounter these things one after another!
You Huizhong was also a little discouraged, but he still dutifully persuaded: "Commander, the matter is not out of control yet. Doing nothing will only make things worse. No matter what, we must come up with countermeasures!"

"Countermeasures?"

Under his reminder, Xiao Jie reluctantly said: "Take down that lieutenant who is dereliction of duty first, and we will talk about how to deal with it later. In addition, order the whole city to collect gasoline. All survivors must pay 20% of the gasoline in their hands, or at most only It can keep [-] liters. The base can consider giving some appropriate compensation, just replace the oil with the same amount of grain. What’s more, the whole city will be cut off, and only the hospital and the military will be given power for a limited time.”

You Huizhong memorized them all, and finally asked, "Why don't we confiscate them all? We really don't have much oil left!"

"You have to give them a little thought. If all the oil is taken away, they will never agree to it." Xiao Jie thought for a while, and then said: "Send someone to look again, there are still oil tanks near the base. There is no oil depot, find a way to collect some."

"Yes, I'll call someone to do it."

When You Huizhong went down to carry out the order, Xu Bai and Leopard were also discussing the same thing.

The soaring flames in the depths of the base are too obvious, and together with the explosion just now, it is almost self-evident what happened, even if the base wants to hide it, it can't hide it!
"The oil depot exploded!"

When Xu Bai first heard the news, he was still a little puzzled.After knowing that it was a third-tier mutated zombie that detonated it unintentionally, he couldn't help being stunned, hesitating for a while before thinking, could it be the injured mutated zombie he saw?If that was the case, Xu Bai didn't know what to say.At that time, he thought about going to kill the mutated zombie. If he had really acted then, maybe the explosion would not have happened?
Xu Bai's complexion was a bit weird, and it could only be attributed to God's will in the end!

"I heard from the soldiers who came back that they were lucky to retreat 100 meters before the explosion. If not, I'm afraid they all died there. But even so, seven or eight died, and the rest were basically burned. Temporarily deaf from the sound of the explosion. The base is really unlucky, two-thirds of the fuel is gone! Some profiteers in the trading area immediately raised the price of fuel by five times after getting the news, and they still don’t know the increase How much is it?" Leopard looked up at the flames over there and sighed.

Xu Bai was startled by his unintentional words. After pondering for a while, Xu Bai suddenly raised his head and said, "No, I'm afraid the base will take some action on the fuel!"

"No way?"

Leopard shook his head at first, but felt it was very possible: "Without fuel, there will be no electricity, and all kinds of tanks and armored vehicles can't drive. Don't mention it, our Commander Xiao might really know how to do it. Our cars There are more than one ton of gasoline and diesel of different types, if they are all requisitioned, it will be a big loss!"

"No, if there is no gas, it will be difficult to go out in the future."

Xu Bai immediately stood up, rubbed his hands, and decided to act immediately: "No matter, first gather all the fuel in your car, and then drive out to find a hidden place to hide. It's not too late, it may be too late. It's too late!"

"Don't you have a storage ring?" Leopard said suspiciously.

"Haven't you noticed that there are more things in your car recently? Are storage rings really a bottomless pit?" Xu Bai smiled wryly.

"This..." Leopard also felt that something was wrong.

"Let's go, before it's too late." Xu Bai said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

The leopard also knew the importance of fuel, so he immediately took off his coat to help.Although Lin Peng felt a little fussy, he also knew that these two people were more accurate than him, so he hurried over to help.

Two minutes later, Xu Bai and Leopard got into the van.

It's not a big deal, just find a hidden place outside the city, so the two of them are enough.

Because there are too many people in the base, no matter how hard the driving leopard works, he can't drive fast.This really made the two of them anxious for a while. They were afraid that they would hear a broadcast from the high-level before leaving the base, and then suddenly there would be an oil ban or something.Fortunately, the base just repelled the attack of zombies an hour ago, and there are still many things to be busy, so the efficiency should not be so high for the time being!

This gives them a chance!
Thinking of this, Xu Bai suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.He frowned, racked his brains and thought for a while before angrily said: "Quick, drive the car back!"

"what's wrong?"

The leopard didn't react for a while.

Xu Bai hurriedly urged, while saying: "There are still millions of zombie remains outside the city walls on the east and north sides of the base, and there is no way to get out! Quick, let's make a detour and go out through the west side door. The zombies there I'm afraid it's not even [-] to [-]!"

"Thank you for reminding me in time!"

Leopard found that he hadn't thought of this, and couldn't help but cursed himself for being confused.He quickly changed direction, tried his best to choose a street with few people, and hurried to the west of the base.At this time, almost an hour has passed since the explosion of the temporary oil warehouse!If it is still at the Sichuan-Tibet base, I am afraid that the military has already responded.Even though it is Chang'an now, and the base has just received a big attack from zombies, it is almost free at this moment.

After all, it is still the resolute Xiao Jie who controls the base!

He is still there, and the base will basically not change.

Xu Bai knew this, so he tried his best to urge Leopard to drive faster.Hurrying all the way, he finally rushed to the west gate of the base at the risk of several car accidents and hitting people.Calculated from their positions, they were less than 300 meters away from the west gate.

Because the zombies have been confirmed to be cleaned up, the west door has been opened at this time, and there are several bulldozers outside to clean up those zombies!

"It seems to be in time."

Xu Bai and Leopard Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, the large tanks of fuel in the car should be safe.

However, at this moment, the order to requisition gasoline from the base finally came down.The main point is to exchange equal-weight grain for gasoline, and to set up inspections at the entrance of the base. All fuel is allowed in and not allowed out, and even if you want to bring it in, the base will take [-]% of it!When it comes to matters related to the survival of the base, whether it is Xiao Jie or other high-level officials, it is unambiguous!
Not far away, under the command of a non-commissioned officer, several soldiers lifted down the barricades that had been put away during the war.

"Quick, rush over!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Bai became anxious.Although he was not sure that it was the method used by the military to collect fuel, he still instinctively felt something was wrong.After all, everything is just in case...

For Xu Bai now, this one eventuality means a ton of oil!
