Chapter 338
The experiences of the past two years flashed through my mind like fast forward, and familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared before my eyes. Some people have left, but more people are still here, still struggling to fight against this desperate world of the dead.
There is already an idea of how the matter will develop in the coming days. There are now a certain number of survivors in the base, and there is also a branch base in Knoxville. Sean leads a group of people there, collecting various weapons and supplies hidden in the canyon every day. His side is also on the right track. As long as he gathers more survivors in the future, he will soon have the strength to go and support Diana and the others.
Even though his numbers are less than the enemy's, he is still a force that cannot be ignored. As long as he can absorb even a portion of the federation's population, he will have the confidence to face CRM, because he has hot weapons in his hands that can instantly reverse the situation of the war.
What you need to do is to keep your feet on the ground and walk the road ahead step by step. Tomorrow's action will be.asxs.
I don’t know what time it was, but Lu Jiayi had fallen into a drowsy sleep. When he opened his eyes again, there was a faint light outside the window.
After getting dressed, Lu Jiayi glanced at the map on the desk, put on his coat and walked out of the room.
Today's operation can be said to be a full-force operation. Almost all of the original group of people in Ideal Town have been dispatched, leaving only Aji and a few others to be responsible for the daily operations of the base.
More than five hundred combatants, including two hundred people, armored vehicles, and modified buses, formed a long dragon and drove towards downtown Atlanta.
The Unimog was still in the center of the convoy, with Norton driving the car. Several responsible persons gathered at the sofa booth in the back looking at the map that had just been spread out.
"Lu, are you sure there are still a large number of survivors in the city? We have been here for two years. We have searched everywhere for such a long time and have already searched the entire city, but there is no sign of human beings."
The first person to raise the question was Rick. He had been a frequent visitor to outbound teams since the base was first established, and he was very familiar with the surrounding conditions.
As soon as he finished speaking, Glenn, Michonne, Daryl and the others nodded. They believed in Lu Jiayi very much, but with the facts before them, they really couldn't hold out too much hope.
Lu Jiayi was not panicked at all. He had real abilities and had been preparing for today's operation for a long time. He even tidied up the military base in advance to prevent any problems from arising from the new survivors. After all, one or two hundred people were easier to manage in the Ideal Town. Once they found a large number of survivors at once, chaos would easily arise.
Therefore, the best way is to create a buffer zone, so that there will be enough time to verify whether these people are as easy to manage as one hopes, or whether there will be some troublemakers among them who will pose a hidden danger to the stability of the base.
"Who said we were going to the city this time? We were just transferring the data from the city, which makes it faster."
Lu Jiayi didn't say anything. He certainly wouldn't tell anyone about his strange ability, and he didn't know to what extent the danger would come. But after so much testing, the probability of a zombie attack was 80%. For them, as long as it was a zombie attack, it could not be called a danger.
The zombie mask can easily resolve the crisis, which means that as long as this operation is successful, he can gather a large number of survivors in a short period of time. Even if these people cannot participate in the battle, they can be arranged to participate in the construction of the new base. Even if the new base is full, other bases can be found. Moreover, when the number of people reaches a certain number, an area of the city can be cleared out. At that time, these people can be fed by the farmland on the periphery, and then the machinery can be transported to the city for processing and production of various weapons and tools. No matter how it is arranged, there is no problem.
Looking at the people around him who were in a state of confusion, Lu Jiayi pointed to a suburb on the north side of the city. The place he pointed to was a very inconspicuous town. Several people came forward to observe carefully, and soon Rick found the key point.
"This place is great, surrounded by mountains on the west and rivers on the east. It's a natural shelter."
Seeing that Rick had pointed out the key point, Lu Jiayi tapped the map with his hand in agreement.
"That's right. Moreover, this place is right at the foot of the mountain. The long mountain range acts as a natural barrier. Most importantly, almost half of their borders are surrounded by rivers. We only need to set up an obstacle at the foot of the mountain. As for the riverside, we can send some people to patrol regularly. Even if some zombies are washed ashore, they have already lost their ability to move. So I think there is a high chance that there are survivors living here."
Several people showed happy expressions on their faces, but Daryl looked at the map for a while with an expressionless face, then sat in the corner again indifferently, took out a bundle of crossbow arrows and began to check them.
A huge convoy sped through the city streets, the metal frenzy kicked up clouds of dust, and everywhere it passed was filled with smoke and miasma, but almost no zombies could withstand the repeated crushing of dozens of vehicles.
A few zombies were caught in the wheels and soon turned into a puddle of mud.
"Lu, we're almost there."
From a distance, Lu Jiayi had already seen a bridge connecting the two banks. With his excellent eyesight, he discovered that there were two containers lying across the bridge deck, and a group of zombies were constantly slapping one side of the containers. However, this also proved that there were at least survivors here before.
"Looks like we found the right place."
Glenn, who also had good eyesight, also saw the two containers blocking the road. He sighed out loud immediately, and at the same time, he did not forget to secretly glance at Lu Jiayi, secretly admiring the powerful abilities of this leader.
The convoy stopped at the bridge head, and a team of soldiers walked up with rifles. After confirming that it was safe, they waved their hands, indicating that the large force could continue to move forward, while they held up their guns to clear out the already few zombies on the bridge.
There were no humans on guard at the container, so they had two choices: move the container or walk through it.
Lu Jiayi observed for a while, then glanced at the bus at the back and immediately knew what to do.
"Push open the container in front. The last bus is parked here. Let's go in and explore first."
One bus was left behind and the convoy continued to move forward. When they reached the other side of the bridge, everyone saw wooden sticks erected on the shore like barricades. Some severely swollen zombies had their bodies pierced by the barricades, but they were still struggling to move forward.
Daryl walked down the bridge carefully, rushed to the front of the barricades, squatted down and stared at the nearby riverbed for a while.
"There are indeed survivors here. I saw several recent drag marks, which are no more than two days old."
Lu Jiayi nodded continuously and observed the surrounding environment. Perhaps because it was at the foot of the mountain and there was a river, the trees here were unusually lush. However, due to the cold weather, the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and if you stepped on it, your whole foot would be buried in it.
Lu Jiayi asked Glenn to bring a map, marked an area with houses with a pen, and then selected a point on each side.
"We don't know the situation of these people. Just in case, Daryl and I will lead a team to explore the way first. It would be even better if we can negotiate with them."
"Rick, you take half of the people to occupy these two positions, but be careful to hide and not be discovered by the enemy. I will send a signal if anything happens."
"clear."
"Wells, take the rest of the people here and wait for my signal."
"clear."
After looking at his watch, Lu Jiayi raised his wrist. The two of them understood instantly and came over.
"Okay, let's align the times. Wait five minutes after we leave before you set off."
Although there were quite a few people on this trip, most of them were veteran team members, so there was no need to worry about their execution. Soon the convoy split into two groups. Lu Jiayi drove the Unimog and another Hummer along the road, while Rick waited quietly for five minutes after they left before splitting into two groups and leaving the bridgehead.
…
Atlanta is a famous mountain city in the United States. To the north of them is the long Appalachian Mountains. At the foot of the mountain, a river flows along the mountains, forming a riverbank guarded by the river. Terman's home is located on this small but extremely beautiful land.
The Terman family has two daughters, one named Angie and the other named Mary. His wife Susan is a housewife, and he is the breadwinner of the family. He opened an advertising company. Although he cannot be said to be rich, his income is good.
He has a good temper and gets along well with his neighbors. He also has a virtuous wife and lovely daughter, making him the envy of others.
The advertising company was not particularly busy and the working hours were relatively flexible every day, so when Terman had nothing to do, he would do some part-time jobs on the Internet, which was actually hacking.
His academic qualifications are not low. Although he did not graduate from a particularly famous school, he is naturally intelligent and has made a certain name for himself on the Internet through several years of self-study. Under the alias Lion, he has participated in many large and small cyber wars, and he is also a doomsday enthusiast.
His job was easy and he earned a lot of money, so after several years of saving, he bought a very nice property for his family, a villa with a large area.
With nothing to do, he started to tinker with his so-called doomsday shelter. Fortunately, his home was big enough for him to tinker with. His wife Susan didn't understand what he did at first, but she got used to it over time. It was much better to tinker with things at home than to hang out in bars every day.
As a result, Terman, who lost his restraint, gradually evolved from small-scale actions at the beginning to large-scale actions.
The originally spacious yard at the back of the villa has become his studio. After adding enough load-bearing capacity to the villa, he hollowed out the entire basement of the villa. Then a large amount of construction materials were transported in. He turned a three-story villa into a super luxury house with three floors above ground and four floors underground.
In addition to the garage, the entire underground area has additional bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, entertainment room, food room, storage room, etc.
It was also a disguised way of increasing the usable area, and Susan gradually changed from being opposed at the beginning to agreeing with it. The two daughters were even more clamoring about the shelter transformed by their father, and even gave up the bedroom upstairs and insisted on moving to live underground.
Just two months after the shelter was built.
The end of the world has broken out!
