"What do you think about the future?
Will our base be able to hold on?
NaNa once said that the zombies have already formed a zombie wave and started to migrate. Our base is located in the hinterland of China. Whether the zombies head north or south, we will be the first to bear the brunt. After all, there are over a billion zombies in China. "
This was the first time Huang Quan heard Zhang Xiao Qiang voice out his worries, and he was shocked. He did not expect the base to be facing such a huge crisis. In the past, they had killed a lot of zombies, adding up to nearly a million. They had killed countless Type 2 zombies, and even the D3 zombies had been killed. This caused Huang Quan and the rest of the team members to feel optimistic, thinking that zombies were just so-so.
But once the number of zombies exceeded 500,000, it would become a threat to the base. Once it exceeded 1 million, the base would be in a precarious situation. If it reached 10 million, the entire base would be engulfed by the sea of zombies in a short time.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang … .so you wanted to steal the boat for this?"
Huang Quan meant that Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to steal the boat to leave a way out for himself. If the base could not hold on, they could use the boat to transport the entire base to any point along the river. Once the zombies had retreated, they could focus on taking back the base. Huang Quan understood Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan to steal the boat as a game of hide and seek.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and looked at the moon in the sky. He sighed. He did not know that Huang Quan had misunderstood his words. He was only thinking about the future.
Although his main thought was controlling him not to think about the worst of the sea, his other thought was giving him a warning through the gaps left by the main thought, causing him to be at a loss about the future.
"Could it be that Zhang Xiaoqiang is worried about the hole in the boat during the day?
Are you afraid of the Mutant Beasts appearing in the river?
As long as the Mutant Beasts pose a threat to the boat, then the road of survival will become a road of death? "
Huang Quan suddenly thought about the possibility of the Mutant Beasts during the day affecting Zhang Xiaoqiang's future plans. It was indeed a headache.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and said:
"If it only appeared in a small area, I wouldn't be worried. Didn't we still kill the big black fish?
What bothers me is that this Yangtze River is too big. I don't know how many rivers converge along the way. All kinds of things can get into the Yangtze River. God knows what we'll encounter in the future … "
Hearing Zhang Xiao Qiang's complaints, Huang Quan felt helpless. He could only take it one step at a time. The apocalypse was a world of zombies and mutant beasts, it was no longer their world. Just as he was about to say something, the sound of rifles firing and the shouts of his team members came from afar.
"Something happened …."
Both of them were shocked at the same time. They pulled out their pistols and ran towards the source of the sound. Zhang Xiaoqiang's speed was fast. He disappeared in two or three seconds. Huang Quan could not catch up. He gritted his teeth and ran towards the temporary camp. With Zhang Xiaoqiang in front, he went to the temporary camp to organize the other members and militia for reinforcement.
The source of the sound was deep in the island. It was also the direction closest to the ship graveyard. Huang Quan was worried that there would be zombies near the ship graveyard in the middle of the night. So he arranged a small team of search members in two tile-roofed houses nearby. These members all had night vision goggles, so they could see further in the moonlight.
Zhang Xiaoqiang rushed to the two small houses at the intersection with his pistol. He saw five streams of bullets shooting in the same direction. Three streams of bullets shot out from the windows of the houses, and the other two were in the open space on both sides of the houses. Zhang Xiaoqiang sped up and wanted to rush over to ask for an explanation. But he heard a retreat shout. The five streams of bullets were extinguished at the same time. The figures of five members rushed towards Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiao Qiang rushed to the side of a team member that was running towards him, and shouted at him:
"What is it?
Zombies or Mutant Beasts? How many are there …. "
The team member shouted:
"We don't know what it is. There are a lot of them. We can't count them. They are lying on the ground and can't be killed …."
Just as he finished speaking, the two small houses suddenly shook. Two loud noises rang out, and the brick houses collapsed under the moonlight, raising a cloud of dust and sand. They didn't know what it was, but under the moonlight, the houses suddenly collapsed, which made them frightened.
Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the tragic end of the two small houses. The hair on his body stood up. No matter what it was, those things didn't come with good intentions. Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted to the team members: "You retreat to the camp first. Inform Huang Quan to stop the attack at the village entrance. Contact the people guarding the fleet and get ready to retreat to the river …."
Before Zhang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, gunshots came from the direction of the ship. There was a large caliber heavy machine gun there. The long flame of the gun dyed the dark sky red.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care about the two collapsed houses anymore. He turned around and shouted:
"Follow me …. Let's meet at the camp first. We will reinforce the dock …."
Together with Xiao Qiang, the five of them ran to the camp. The gunshots in the dock area didn't stop. It was getting more and more intense. The sky over there was bright red. In addition to the gunshots and the flashing lights, flames were also burning in the dock area. Seeing the burning flames, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart sank. He quickly rushed to a short tree and jumped up. His right hand grabbed a branch and pulled it hard. He flipped over to the bird's nest on the treetop.
Stepping on the dead branches in the bird's nest, he looked over. The flames were only burning the reeds behind the dock. The burning reeds lit up the entire dock area. A small team of ten search team members were defending the area with the help of the fortifications.
Calming down, Zhang Xiao Qiang continued to observe. The light from the blazing flames illuminated the boats on the surface of the river. One by one, the seven boats lined up to the middle of the river were unharmed. There wasn't much movement on the surface of the river. The movement came from the riverside. Countless water creatures the size of washbasins, shaped like steel helmets, raised their pincers and charged towards the dock in a dense formation.
The team members' opponents were these creatures. Other than the two large pincers that looked like sawtooth pincers, the other parts of these creatures had retracted behind their helmet-like shells. They looked like crabs but had something like a tortoise's shell. It was very strange. It made Zhang Xiaoqiang unconsciously think back to the seafood market. He wanted to see if he could find something that matched them.
The shell of this thing was quite sturdy. Small caliber bullets did not cause much damage to it. At most, they could only make it roll over. After it stopped rolling on the mud, it would turn over once. Then, the thing would straighten its body, brandishing its two large pincers as it continued to charge.
