"Then what does Zhang Xiaoqiang think of the other forces?
Should we contact them and exchange information? "
Shi Yuanye was not too concerned about the Northern Army's current situation. Instead, he was more concerned about the other factions. In his heart, the Northern Army was a huge force, and they might not bow down to them. However, it was different for the smaller factions. Letting them know of Zhang Xiao Qiang's name would be beneficial in the future.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not understand what Ishihara meant. He had never liked to be in the limelight and preferred to keep a low profile. This was also a result of his personality and experience. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of himself being used as a target outside.
"Let's contact them in the name of the Grassland Army. Tell them that we have conquered three prefecture-level cities and more than ten county-level cities. At the same time, tell them about the types and weaknesses of the zombies. Let them know some basic knowledge about the apocalypse. Also, pay attention to what they have in their hands.
Let them know that we have conquered three prefecture-level cities and more than ten county-level cities. At the same time, tell them about the types and weaknesses of the zombies. Let them know some basic knowledge about the apocalypse. Also, pay attention to what they have in their hands. Let them know that the revival of the Chinese was unfolding in the north of China.
After dealing with the problem of radio communication, Zhang Xiaoqiang told Ishihara and Zhao Jun about some of his discoveries in the forest. He also told them about the purple fur ball.
Hearing the effects of the purple fur ball, Ishihara and Zhao Jun were excited. The corrosion of steel had become the greatest threat to the revival of mankind. Solving this problem would allow them to be ahead of the other survivors in the world. While others had regressed to using wooden sticks, they could still use modern weapons. That was the difference.
"This plant should be classified as a top secret. The production line and cultivation base should be set up separately. This is our biggest trump card. With this thing, our strength will continue to increase. In the future, we will be able to build a machinery factory and a power plant. We will no longer have to worry about corrosion."
Shi Yuan Ye's thoughts were the same as Zhang Xiao Qiang's. In the apocalypse, any new discovery would be an opportunity for the survivors. As long as they grasped the opportunity, they would be able to become the strongest faction. At that time, they would be able to become the leader of China, and gather all the smaller factions under their command to clear out the zombies within the country, and finally complete the revival of China.
Zhao Jun didn't think that far ahead. He said doubtfully,
"I don't think we need to think too much. Currently, no other forces have contacted us. The first thing we need to do is to cultivate them on a large scale. We need to increase production as much as possible and free our soldiers from the complicated maintenance work …"
Both Zhao Jun and Ishiyuan Ye were right. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the map and thought about where to start planting. Although there was a large area of grassland in the west waiting for them to develop, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to plant near it. If this thing appeared too often, it would eventually attract the attention of people with ulterior motives. He suddenly thought of how he had banished three thousand civilians to his old nest, Sumu Town …
After leaving the mountain town, Zhang Xiaoqiang led the team back to Wu Hai. He cared more about mutant plants than any other resources. Once the rust inhibitor appeared, it could at least increase the combat power of the troops by 50% and reduce the loss of resources by 30%.
Moreover, there were all kinds of strange plants that could cause harm to zombies, not to mention the fruits that could increase the ability of evolvers. For this reason, Zhang Xiaoqiang had the Institute of Botany set up a branch at the edge of the forest to study the plants in the forest. In the depths of the mountain town, the Tusk Fruit had been planted. More than a hundred evolved zombies had become the fertilizer for the Tusk Fruit. At the same time, there were also living zombies being sent to the mountain town every day.
Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly ended his inspection and returned to Wu Hai City. The final battle against the Yinchuan region was finally about to begin. The Yinchuan Plain was the essence of the irrigation area of the Yellow River in Ningxia. In that area, there were five cities and three counties. The population of three cities exceeded that of Wu Hai City. Among them, the cities near the upper reaches of the Yellow River had a population of two million. These were the last zombies in the Yinchuan region.
The zombies under the Yinchuan region had all been brought to the grassland by the Z2 zombies and turned into fertilizer. There were still about a hundred thousand zombies left. All of them surrounded the Helan Mountains and slowly moved deeper into the mountains. On the contrary, there were no zombies in the counties and cities. The Death Seekers Group's encirclement was very successful. They had already cleared more than half of the Yinchuan region.
Although they had cleared more than half of the city, it did not mean that they could allow people to move in safely. The zombies at the foot of the mountains and the upper reaches of the Yellow River were all hidden dangers. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang decided to go to the frontline personally to fight the last battle of the Yinchuan Plain.
This time, Zhang Xiaoqiang's opponent was still two million zombies. But this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang had all the supplies from Wu Hai, Shizuishan City, Pingluo County, Helan County, and Yinchuan City. So far, there were already fifty thousand civilians living in Wu Hai City. They had started to restore the operation of the various facilities in Wu Hai City. This allowed Zhang Xiaoqiang to get the best logistical services as soon as possible. This also gave confidence to the soldiers at the frontline.
The zombies in Helan Mountains were naturally eliminated first. The area of Helan Mountains was equivalent to two-thirds of the Yinchuan Plain. There were countless valleys and valleys. Before the apocalypse, this place was a nature reserve. Therefore, after the apocalypse, it became the first choice for survivors to seek refuge.
In addition, in the sixties and seventies, this place was also used as a gateway to the inland areas. It was highly valued by the military. There were a lot of soldiers in Yinchuan. In the era of digging deep holes to accumulate food, all kinds of military projects were built in the mountains. Helan Mountains were no exception. Along the abandoned roads, there were always some hidden buildings and warehouses.
The zombies would follow the various roads in Helan Mountains to look for survivors. The survivors would not foolishly wait for the zombies to catch them. Often, when the zombies approached, they would run away and eat everything they could find along the way.
The number of zombies was not small, but it was negligible when scattered across the entire Helan Mountains. However, most of the places in Helan Mountains were not suitable for survival. Water sources would not appear on the cliffs. Under the pressure of the zombies, the humans were fighting for the limited living space.
Under the double pressure of the zombies and their own kind, the number of survivors continued to decrease. Death and withering occurred every moment. People were like a group of mice, constantly hiding. They didn't even dare to kill any zombies, because as long as they killed one, the other zombies would find them no matter how far away they were. They would form a group and flood their hiding place.
In Mount Helan, the third rain became a life-saving rain for countless people. Although the rain caused them to lose a large number of people, the various plants and mushrooms that appeared after the rain became their new food. Everyone felt like they had been saved. Eating the delicious mushrooms, they were no longer afraid of starving to death. They were no longer afraid of being attacked by nearby small factions. They were also no longer afraid of being eaten by hunters when they went out.
But their happiness did not last long. The zombies that disappeared in the rain reappeared. This time, there were more zombies. Standing on the hilltop, one could see a steady stream of zombies filling the ditches and ridges, like a group of ants looking for food.
Retreating and hiding. The better places were occupied by the bigger forces, and the slightly better places were occupied by the forces with more men. Some small tribes made up of ugly women and children became vagrant tribes in the mouths of the zombies. They did not know when they would disappear in the mouths of the zombies.
Chen Qinqin was the leader of a small tribe. At the age of 29, she was not considered old before the apocalypse. If she had enough masks and fruits, she could still pretend to be young under the cover of cosmetics. When the apocalypse happened, she was 27 years old. She was a fresh flower in the laboratory. In two years, she had turned from a fresh flower to a withered grass.
On her pale yellow cheeks, the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes became the main decoration. Her shriveled forehead no longer had the luster it used to have. Her beautiful black hair was the object of many people's envy, but now it was replaced by short yellow hair. On her scalp, there were some scabby marks that looked like scabs. Those were the marks left behind after her hair was pulled out.
Her eyes were no longer bright. They were slightly cloudy. The glasses seemed to have become a decoration. The titanium alloy frame was not much stronger than the rusted iron wire before the apocalypse. The lenses were no longer bright. There were all kinds of scratches on them, as if they were polished by sand.
