Jin Xing looked at the honest middle-aged man and thought about what Zhou Jie had said to him. He had some thoughts in his heart. This person didn't look like a clever person. Should he give this responsibility to him?
"What's your name?"
Jin Xing couldn't help but touch the cigarette in his pocket. Smelling the gunpowder in the air, he forced himself to calm down and asked for the man's name.
"Chen Guandong..."
The man looked at Jin Xing and said his name. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He just stared at the space between his feet.
Jin Xing was disappointed to see the man like this. Although Zhang Xiaoqiang had appointed him as a technical director, he also needed to know how to communicate with people. Jin Xing looked at the other workers and even the managers who had escaped death. He was not satisfied with them. It was the first time he had appointed someone in the logistics department. If he made a mistake, wouldn't it mean that he didn't know how to judge people?
"You are twice as fast as others. Do you have any tricks?"
Jin Xing was still a little reluctant and asked. He didn't have any hope.
"There's no trick. I just need to focus..."
The man lowered his head and replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, which made Jin Xing frown. If this was the case, then this man really had no redeeming qualities. At this time, a person ran over from afar, bowed his head and greeted Jin Xing, then said, "Our Brother Chen is a good citizen, a very good citizen, he even responded to the call to marry a wife and donated it to the frontline soldiers. He even said that if it wasn't for the troops looking down on him because of his age, he would personally go to the frontline to kill the zombies. Also, our Brother Chen works alone, but he can compete with three people.
Jiang Hao's random words caused Jin Xing to frown. This man who had come by himself was smart. Although he did not know what he was talking about, he was able to resolve the knot in Jin Xing's heart. Since Chen Guandong was willing to donate resources to the frontlines, it proved that he was loyal. Being able to complete twice as many tasks as the second place, it proved that he was skilled, loyal, and skilled. Wasn't he just the person Zhang Xiao Qiang was looking for?
Coincidentally, he had the right to appoint a technical director temporarily.
"Well, that's it. From now on, you'll be the technical director. I'll report this to the management. I hope you'll keep up the good work …"
Jin Xing didn't explain clearly what technical guidance was. He casually threw the thousand-person factory to Chen Guandong. Chen Guandong was confused and thought it was a job to teach others. He nodded and went back to his task. Jiang Hao, who was smarter, asked, "What does technical guidance do?"
Jin Xing waved his hand and said carelessly,
"That's the director of the ammunition factory. He's half a rank lower than the department head, and his resources will be the same as the department head's. As long as you do your job well, you'll be rewarded handsomely. You'll get cigarettes, alcohol, and food …"
After Jin Xing sent the two of them away, he felt as if a cat was scratching his throat. He turned around and went out to look for a place to smoke. Chen Guandong and Jiang Hao were left looking at each other, as if they had just woken up from a dream. They were not worried that Jin Xing was just fooling them. Xiang Fei and his men had been arrested, and the ammunition factory was in a power vacuum. This matter should be in the bag.
"Brother Chen, you'll have to teach me in the future. Teach me everything you know, and let me have some fun as a deputy technical director."
Jiang Hao's words stunned Chen Guanxi. Then he realized that he was really different now. He was no longer an ordinary person, but the manager of thousands of workers, a senior executive who was second only to the department head …
"Calm down. Wait until the zombies climb up before you shoot. Whoever dares to shoot first, I'll kill him …"
On the bamboo shoot mountain, Li Grassland, who had always been calm, suddenly became like a warlord. He waved his pistol at the soldiers beside him with a fierce look on his face. His face was covered with black ash, which made his nostrils dirty. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, leaving black marks on his face.
The soldiers in the trenches were the same as Li Grassland, their heads were covered with black ash. The black ash was the ashes of the zombies. When the 100,000 zombies were killed, the Silver Creek zombies attacked the bamboo shoot hill like crazy. Layers of ashes were knocked away by the countless zombies, and the ashes were thrown into the air, falling all over the hill.
As the vanguard of the zombies, hundreds of S2 zombies were scrambling to climb up the mountain. Although there were two big dogs, and although there were Meow and Zhang Xiaoqiang, they still could not block the first layer of trench. At least half of the S2 zombies were hanging on the steel wire between the first and second layer of trench. Although the steel wire blocked the zombies, the soldiers were scared out of their wits.
Two men, two dogs, and several layers of steel wire, more than 500 S2 zombies were completely wiped out. The corpses of the S2 zombies were eaten by the big dogs, and the rest were moved to the top of the mountain and burned.
In the end, all the S2 zombies were killed. The Silver Stream zombies were no longer willing to send S2 zombies to attack the bamboo shoot mountain. They just relied on the countless zombies piling up to the top of the mountain. If there was gasoline, these zombies would be the best fuel. But the gasoline had been used up last night, and they could only watch the zombies piling up.
Fortunately, the bamboo shoot mountain that could accommodate two groups was not small. The foot of the mountain was surrounded by zombies, and there were at least tens of thousands of zombies surrounding the foot of the mountain. On average, for every meter that was raised, there were at least 30,000 zombies as stepping stones. But the Silver Stream zombies were confused, and did not send out zombies like they did yesterday. Instead, they spread out the entire line. Even if all the zombies were thrown in, they might not be able to reach the top of the mountain that was 70 meters high.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not allow the zombies to pile up. Not to mention the fact that the top of the mountain could not accommodate his soldiers, seeing the zombies climb up step by step would have a huge impact on the morale of the soldiers. Once the soldiers lost their confidence, the troops would be destroyed. As long as the troops could hold on to the end, the embryonic form of an iron army would be forged by the countless zombies.
When the zombies below were stacked up to a distance of 50 meters, following Li Caoyuan's order to open fire, the sound of gunfire rang out. Countless bullets were shot into the zombies' heads, causing the zombies that had extended their claws to climb up to the top of the mountain to feel as if they had been electrocuted. Their bodies trembled, and then they softly slid into the group of zombies, becoming the cornerstone.
In addition to the rifles, more than ten heavy machine guns and eight recoilless cannons also opened fire. Every bullet from the heavy machine guns could set off waves in the sea of zombies. Countless zombies were torn into pieces by the bullets, and scattered into the group of zombies. Every time the recoilless cannons fired, there would be zombies flying into the sky, and the zombies at the foot of the mountain would roll down like dumplings. The soldiers fired from the rifles at a distance of tens of meters, truly killing an enemy with one bullet.
While the soldiers below were blocking the zombies, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not idling around. On the top of the mountain, there was a heavy machine gun at each of the four corners. These were Zhang Xiaoqiang's personal heavy machine guns. Every time a D2 zombie appeared in the group of zombies, regardless of whether they got close or not, Zhang Xiaoqiang would kill them with a burst of bullets.
By the time Zhang Xiaoqiang had emptied a round of bullets from the four heavy machine guns, he was puzzled. Up until now, the number of D2 zombies that had died in his hands had already reached 60. Why was the number of D2 zombies below still increasing?
Could it be that the Silver Creek Zombies were preparing to send all the D2 zombies over to dig up the entire mountain?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a few zombies suddenly spun in midair. Seeing the zombies in midair, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that the zombies were using their old tricks again.
This scene had happened in the gathering place. The D2 zombies and a group of S zombies had charged together. When they reached the moat, the D2 zombies would throw the S zombies across the moat like sandbags. As long as an S zombie crossed the moat, the Z zombies would know where to throw the S zombies.
Weren't the zombies below a replica of the gathering place?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhang Xiaoqiang used the machine gun in his hand to fire at the spinning zombies. The next moment, he killed a few D2 zombies. Just as he killed them, the soldiers behind him cried out in alarm. He turned around and saw a few normal zombies smashed into the hillside and turned into sesame cakes.
"Li Grassland, control the people below. Let them kill the zombies that are thrown over first. Tell the soldiers, don't panic. If they are bitten to death up there, they will be happy. If they jump down, they will only be dismembered …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was very direct. The biggest advantage here was that they didn't have to worry about deserters. At the same time, they didn't have to worry about people not fighting with their lives on the line. But if they could reduce the number of casualties, they would try to reduce it as much as possible.
