Chapter 46 Nanling County
City
Since Xie Tian had already controlled the Saiyans to explore the road before, the road to Longkou was very smooth after everyone set off on the road. He had reached the edge of Longkou at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that there were still a few hours before dark, Xie Tian knew about the situation in Longkou, so he suggested that the convoy make a rush to cross Longkou first. No one else had any objection. Although there were many zombies in Longkou, it was irrelevant to this convoy with two heavy trucks. After knocking over more than a hundred zombies, the convoy passed through Longkou and headed into the mountain.
At this time, the Saiyans and Shunzi and others were close to Nanling County. Xie Tian had never been to Nanling and did not know the situation in Nanling. According to Shunzi, although Nanling is a county town, its population is only tens of thousands, and the county town is very small, and there are very few residents in the city. Most of them work around Yangcheng, and the surrounding farmhouses are even more scattered, most of them are in the mountains, and the transportation is inconvenient.
With such a prerequisite, it means that there will be not many zombies in Nanling. Xie Tian decided to go straight to Nanling County to determine the safety in Nanling first. Shunzi and the others had no objection. After seeing the perverted strength of the Saiyans, these people became brave. In their opinion, even if they were surrounded by more than a hundred zombies, it would not be a problem. In their eyes, this cold boss could handle it as soon as they came out.
The geographical location of Nanling County is very special, surrounded by mountains and is the only relatively flat and hinterland in the hilly area of thousands of square kilometers. Therefore, when approaching Nanling, this mountain road gradually becomes lower, and then directly enter Nanling County. After passing through Nanling County, the mountain road continues to wind up. Unless you use two legs, you must pass Nanling if you want to go north.
When the car drove down from the last hillside and the bowl-shaped Nanling was getting closer and closer, Xie Tian suddenly discovered something abnormal in Nanling.
The abnormality lies in the fact that with his eyesight, he could already see the moving black spots in Nanling County. At first glance, Xie Tian thought those were zombies, but after a closer look, he realized that these were not zombies, but humans.
Yes, the zombies' movement trajectory is random, not as orderly as humans. And now it is supper time and smoke is curling, which proves that Nanling is not a county town occupied by zombies, but a county town with a large number of humans.
"Shunzi, have you heard that there is a safe zone in Nanling?" Xie Tian frowned and asked.
Shunzi shook his head and said, "No, the radio said that the safe area closest to Yangcheng must be from Changsha or Nanchang. I have never heard of Nanling."
Xie Tian was a little confused and said to himself: "Is it a virgin land?"
The cars kept approaching Nanling, and even Shunzi could see the roadblocks set up on the road outside the city, as well as three soldiers standing on the roadside.
"It's the army!" Shunzi said excitedly: "Brother, there is actually an army here!"
Xie Tian nodded and sighed relieved. Having an army is a good thing. Having an army not only means there are no zombies here, but also means that it is very safe here. After all, zombies are not worth mentioning in front of standard weapons.
The vanguard of x5 stopped in front of the roadblock. A soldier came over and saw Shunzi wearing military uniform. He saluted and asked, "Brother, which unit belongs?"
"From the 769th Regiment." Shunzi asked excitedly, "Brother, which unit are you? Why are you stationed here?"
The soldier smiled helplessly and said, "We are the field military sub-district under the Yangcheng Military Region. When the zombies broke out, we were conducting exercises along the coast. Suddenly, most of the comrades around us became zombies. We killed them, but lost contact with our superiors. Later, we learned that the other surviving troops were ordered to retreat north. A deputy division commander organized us to go north. When we arrived here a few days ago, we temporarily stationed here."
Shunzi hurriedly asked, "What's going on? How many of you are?"
"Inside..." The soldier hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "It's all my own people, and I won't hide it from you. There are more than 3,000 refugees in it now, and the army has only more than 400 living forces. Now the army is short of supplies and ammunition. Non-commissioned officers like us, each person has only three or two meters of rations a day. The leader organized teams to search for supplies in Shao City many times, but there are more than 3,000 mouths waiting for food in the city, and the supplies cannot keep up at all. Life is too difficult."
Xie Tian, who was sitting in the back row, took out some cans quietly, opened the car window and handed them over, and said, "It's all his brothers, these are just for meeting gifts."
The soldier was stunned by the hoarse voice of the Saiyan, and then was attracted by the pile of cans that Xie Tian took out. He looked at the pattern of meat on the can, and even smelled the smell of meat through the sealed can. He swallowed unconsciously, but hesitated whether to take it.
Shunzi said, "Brother, take it. This is our boss, who is very righteous."
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said with gratitude: "Thank you, this brother!" Then, he greeted the other two sentries and stuffed two bottles to each of them.
Shunzi asked at this time: "Brother, it's okay for us to go in now?"
"No problem." The soldier said hurriedly: "But I have to remind you that after entering, you will get a registration for the temporary military headquarters. The military headquarters will give you housing. There are not many things here, but the housing is the most. In addition, since everyone is a soldier, if you want to join us, you can apply at the military headquarters."
"How do you get to the military headquarters?"
"After entering the city, we will walk straight, and the military headquarters is located in the county government building."
Shunzi thanked him, and then the other party opened the roadblock with ease. Shunzi drove straight to the city and said excitedly to Xie Tian: "Brother, now you have found the large army. Join them. If you join them, both materials and safety will be guaranteed!"
Xie Tian snorted coldly and said, "I want to join you, I'm not interested."
"Why?" Shunzi asked in surprise: "So many soldiers from the field troops are well-trained and have weapons and equipment, so it will definitely be safer to be with them!"
"It's just a kindness for a woman." Xie Tian asked with a cold face: "More than 400 soldiers not only need to protect these more than 3,000 refugees, but also try their best to find supplies to support them for food. What future do you think will be?"
Shunzi thought about it carefully, then nodded suddenly and said, "Brother, you are right. There are about 400 soldiers, and it is indeed difficult to rely on them to support more than 3,000 refugees. In this way, the commander here is indeed a bit kind."
"Not only that." Xie Tian continued: "If a large number of zombies head north in the future and attack here, according to the character of this commander, they will definitely not give up the mobility, discipline and combat effectiveness of the field troops. But what about these more than 3,000 refugees? What mobility, discipline and combativity are there? They will be completely dragged down!"
Shunzi nodded in agreement and said, "At this time, benevolence, righteousness and morality are of no use... My brothers and I were abandoned by the commander, just like the ones performed in the movie assembly call... I agreed to come to pick us up, but then... there will be no news! In this era, it would be nice to be able to take care of myself. More than 400 people support more than 3,000 people, which is really unreasonable."
Xie Tian sneered: "In this era, useless people are worthless. Compassion can be achieved, but we cannot just sympathize. It is like I save you. If you are a bunch of cowards, I will not have any effort to save you."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Shunzi asked with some admiration.
