MTL - Doomsday Commander

  Chapter 17 The prototype of the survival base

  Things are really as Tang Zheng guessed, the heavy rain blocked the zombies' perception, making them lose all channels to obtain external information, and they remained motionless.

  Even if Tang Zheng walked three meters beside them, they remained indifferent.

  But within three meters, the zombies seem to have a feeling.

  The movement range of the zombies was detected, and the next step was to avoid them, and then hurried on their way.

  This kind of torrential rain usually doesn't last too long. If you want to travel, you must hurry up. Several people quicken their pace. Even if a zombie occasionally senses them, they will be quickly thrown off by them.

  Facing the white torrential rain, everyone almost trotted along Xinglin Road.

   This five-kilometer road to death just passed.

   By the time I walked out of Xinglin Road, it was already afternoon.

   Turned another corner, and Yida City was already in sight.

   "General, the rain seems to be less."

  Tang Zheng looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the rain was a little lighter, and now it was at the level of moderate rain.

   The zombies on the street seemed to be showing some signs of coming back to life.

   Sure enough, the decision to hurry immediately was right, otherwise they would have been trapped on the roof of that building for a few days.

"Go, enter Yida City, where the terrain is wide, even if there are zombies, there will be no danger of being surrounded. As long as we leave Yida City and cross an intersection, we can go to the viaduct. There is no street-facing pavement on the viaduct. There won’t be a lot of them, and we’ll be on Binjiang Road when we get off the elevated highway, not far from Binjiang Park.”

  The forward route Tang Zheng had already planned. This Xinglin Road was the most difficult step. Another difficulty was the section from Binjiang Road to Binjiang Park.

  As for Yida City, it cannot be said that it is not dangerous, but it is less difficult than the other two places.

  Yida City is a large-scale comprehensive supermarket integrating shopping, leisure, and playgrounds. There are four in Sanjiang City.

  Tang Zheng won't enter the mall, he's looking for death, he just wants to pass through the wide area of ​​Yida Plaza, so it shouldn't be too dangerous.

   Taking advantage of the rain and the slow movement of zombies, Tang Zheng and his party quickly passed through the intersection and streets, and came to the gate of Yida Playground.

  The gate of the playground is towering, and there are many classic animation characters at home and abroad on the gate.

  There are some flower baskets in front of the door, but at the moment, the branches are dead and the leaves are crumbling.

  Some red silk was hanging on the door, hanging down wet.

   Tang Zheng wiped the rainwater from his face, the wet clothes on his body were very uncomfortable to wear.

   "Come on, let's go in first."

  The crowd followed Tang Zheng's footsteps and walked into the playground.

  There are many buildings here, tall Ferris wheels, crazy roller coasters, and floating pirate ships.

   Bungee jumping, carousel, everything.

  Of course, there are also some zombies wandering in the rain at an extremely slow speed.

   This is a very safe moment.

  Tang Zheng looked up at the sky, the cloud still hadn't dissipated, although it looked like there would be no heavy rain, but it might take some time until the rain is light to moderate.

   "It's past two o'clock in the afternoon. We walked out of Yida City today, but we couldn't get out of the viaduct. It seems that we have to rest here tonight and start tomorrow."

   Tang Zheng wanted to take a break, at least find a place to warm up by the fire.

  He has a radar that can avoid risks within a short distance, so he took everyone to walk past those houses and buildings to see which building had fewer zombies.

   After walking for a while, Tang Zheng stopped suddenly when he came to an indoor bumper car experience hall.

  Something is wrong with the surrounding environment.

  A lot of sundries have accumulated around the experience hall, forming a isolation zone.

   You must know that when zombies are wandering, they will not take the initiative to climb over those difficult obstacles, so people who can do this must be humans.

   Debris is almost piled up around the experience hall, so the survivors must be in the experience hall.

   Tang Zheng hesitated, he didn't really want to stay with the other survivors right now, after all, the military uniform he was wearing would easily misunderstand the survivors, begging to take them away.

  But now in the entire playground, there is no suitable place to stay. After all, it is still raining, so he can't sleep outside.

   Before he could make a decision, he didn't expect the door to the experience hall to open.

  The soldiers were on guard immediately, but Tang Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. The other party opened the door on his own initiative, so it should be without malice.

   Sure enough, a young man inside the door waved to Tang Zheng and the others.

   "These soldiers, come here to hide from the rain."

  Tang Zheng didn't hesitate any longer, and walked towards the experience hall.

   Walking into the room, the young man was very enthusiastic: "Hello, are you here for rescue?"

   Tang Zheng shook his head: "No, we're not here to rescue, we're just passing by."

  The young man had a slight disappointment on his face, but he didn't say much. He still greeted warmly: "See, you're all wet, come in quickly, you can still light a fire here."

  Following the young man through a foyer, there is a huge space inside.

  The venue of the Bumper Car Experience Hall is naturally not too small, about 2,000 square meters.

  But at this moment, the surrounding ground was covered with floor coverings, and many people were lying or sitting by the corners. When they saw Tang Zheng and the others coming in, their eyes burst into strange expressions, and many people stood up.

   There are more than fifty of these people, both men and women, and there are more than a dozen children among them.

  But everyone didn't talk too much, and they looked more orderly.

  The young man brought Tang Zheng to a tall man.

"This squad leader, this is Brother Meng, Meng Zhiliang, the people who led us to survive, if you have a rescue plan, or find an organization, you must remember to give our brother Meng a credit. If it weren't for him, there would be more than fifty people here. There may not be ten people left."

   Tang Zheng looked at this Brother Meng with a little surprise.

  This person looks about 30 years old, has a strong body, and is slightly taller than himself, at 1.85 meters.

   There is a fire ax on his back, and a police Type 64 pistol on his waist.

   Tang Zheng knew this kind of gun, it was equipped by the security officers of the Public Security Department, and its power was not bad.

  The appearance of the gun was bright, but Tang Zheng, who was careful, soon discovered something was wrong.

  The traces of wiping are too obvious, and rust can still be seen in some gaps. Most of the inside of this gun has been rusted, so it should be mostly for show.

   This thing has no effect on zombies, but for people, guns are always the most deterrent thing.

   This is not used to fight zombies, it is used to scare people.

  Don’t stay here like this, maybe it’s for people like myself to prove that they are not helpless.

  Of course, there may also be an attitude of testing himself, indicating that he has nothing to hide.

   Tang Zheng felt a little amused in his heart, but he also knew that this was the normal state of mind of survivors.

   Tang Zheng also knew that if he proposed to confiscate this gun at this moment, this person would obediently hand it in, but Tang Zheng certainly wouldn't do that.

  They stretched out their hands to Meng Zhiliang: "My name is Tang Zheng."

  Meng Zhiliang seemed calm, but in fact he was a little beating inside.

   After all, the group of people in front of them are soldiers, and they have enough strength to crush everyone here.

  But out of trust in the soldiers, he still asked the young men to take the group in.

It is also a frank attitude to take the initiative to put the gun on his waist. After all, this gun is not his. He found it from the box of the Public Security Department in Yida City. If the young officer asks him to hand it in, he will hand it in. .

  Seeing Tang Zheng reaching out to shake hands with him, he was a little flattered, and immediately stretched out his hands to shake hands with Tang Zheng.

   "Hello monitor, I'm Meng Zhiliang, a gym coach."

  Tang Zheng nodded, and glanced at the ax behind him: "Your ax has dark brown marks on it, it should be because you cut zombies a lot."

   "Yes, yes, I have been exercising for many years, and I still have some strength. This kind of ax is heavy and not easy to damage. It is just right for fighting zombies."

   "Did you save all these people?"

   "Yes, on the day when the apocalypse broke out, I brought my children to the playground to play..."

   Speaking of this, an aunt in her fifties spoke up.

   "Xiao Meng, quickly let these soldiers come and sit, they are all soaked, let's talk while warming the fire."

  Tang Zheng looked back, those survivors had already lit a fire with all their might.

   Above the fire is a large iron pot, in which boiling water is boiling.

   "Oh, look at me, who is not sensible, Squad Leader Tang, come and sit down."

  Someone brought stools and gathered around the fire, Tang Zheng led the soldiers over and sat around the fire.

  Big Clever and Little Pretty obediently lay at Tang Zheng's feet, with their eyes closed comfortably by the flames, as if they were asleep.

  But if someone is unfavorable to Tang Zheng, they will definitely explode and hurt people immediately.

  Meng Zhiliang sat with Tang Zheng, and the rest of the survivors sat around the outer circle, their eyes revealing their trust in Tang Zheng and the others.

  The young man even poured a cup of hot water for Tang Zheng and the others.

   After taking a sip of water, my stomach warmed up.

   Enveloped by the warm firelight, the cold air on his body gradually disappeared, Tang Zheng felt comfortable for a while.

  In the last days, there are villains like the chef of Chunxi Hotel, but more of them are kind ordinary people.

   This group of survivors huddling together to keep warm is a relatively normal state.

  Come in till now, Tang Zheng has already observed it.

   There are fighters in this group, such as Meng Zhiliang, such as young men, and a few other men, also holding some crude weapons.

   There are also living personnel. It can be seen that there are many traces of labor in the room. There are everything for cooking, some supplies and food are piled up in the corner, and there are artificial bows and arrows, although they are very simple.

   More importantly, there are children here.

  With children, there is a future and hope.

  If such a group receives strong armed protection, the future is very promising.

  Yida City has a large area, and there are not too many zombies. After finishing it, this is the prototype of a survival base.
