Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1894: Charcoal-grilled zombies, crunchy
buzzing-

Huachen and his team flew a helicopter around the oil city in search of other intelligent zombies.

Two hours later, they returned to the Oil City helipad, and at the same time several other helicopters, fully fueled, took off.

Keep searching.

From Tang Yingjie, Li Yu and his friends learned that there are at least four intelligent zombies outside the Oil City, and Tian Yunxiao is among them.

However, the helicopter searched for several hours, even searching an area of ​​dozens of kilometers around the oil city, but still found no trace of the intelligent zombies.

The wildfire raged and the flames lit up the sky red.

Ashes filled the sky and scattered everywhere.

A layer of gray-black ash also accumulated on the ground of the trading market.

Business district.

Restaurant No. 2.

As usual, there was a long queue.

This shop has the best business in the entire commercial district because they mainly sell corn tortillas and multi-grain tortillas.

This basic food is the staple food of the residents of the entire trading market. It is cheap and can provide high energy, making it extremely cost-effective.

At this time, the people queuing were all covered with ashes.

in the crowd.

Yu Qiang patted the ashes on his shoulders and looked up at the sky in the distance, which was all red.

"What the hell is going on? Why is there such a big fire outside?"

He was not the only one who had doubts. Most residents were unaware of the fire that had been set in the oil city.

He Wenjie, who was following behind Yu Qiang, said:

"Brother Qiang, when can we continue the construction of the buffer city?"

Yu Qiang shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know either.

These people have just joined the trading market not long ago and do not have many points on hand, so they did not dare to spend lavishly these days and just maintained the minimum living standard.

Keep expenses to a minimum.

Buffer city wall.

Xiao Jun stared at the raging wildfire outside in a daze.

The burning pine needles poured down like a meteor shower, lighting up the entire larch forest.

The flames were more than ten feet high, and the ground outside had melted into a furnace.

Under such a fierce wildfire, I'm afraid all the intelligent zombies were burned to death.

A strong smell of tar mixed with the strange aroma of pine resin wafted over, smelling quite fragrant.

The wildfires turned the entire sky into a boiling furnace.

The helicopter in the distance was running out of fuel and was flying towards the oil city.

It was already six in the evening, but because the fire outside was so big, the sky was extremely bright.

From time to time, the guards on the wall could see one or two small animals from the forest jumping out and running towards the oil city.

Originally, there were weeds and bushes outside the buffer city, but after the rainstorm, the land became quite flat after unified treatment.

Later, due to the coming and going of people and cars, this open space was crushed and trampled very firmly.

Therefore, the wildfire did not burn here, and now it has become a hiding place for small animals in the surrounding mountains and forests.

There are also many pheasants and wild boars.
The guards on the wall looked at the wild animals outside, ready to take action.

They thought that after so many natural disasters, especially the last blizzard, there should be no wild animals around the oil city.

But now I see that there are still quite a few.

Although they wanted to catch these wild animals, they did not dare to open the city gates without orders from above.

Besides, it's getting dark now.

It would be very dangerous if there were animal zombies down there.

"Oh, it's a pity for all the animals down there. It would be great if we could open the gate and catch some of them in." sighed a guard.

Another guard nodded vigorously:

"Yeah, that's a shame, these wild animals must taste better than bacon."

To date, there are still no farms in Oil City.

According to the plan, they intend to set up a breeding farm in an area in the buffer city.

Currently, the meat supply in Oil City is basically transported from the Big Camphor Tree Base.
A very small number of them are residents who go out to hunt wild animals and then sell them directly in the trading market.

There are several cold storage trucks in the transport team that can transport frozen meat to the oil city.

There is a small freezer here in Oil City for storing meat.

However, most of the meat products are air-dried or pickled at the headquarters base in Dazhangshu before being sent to the Oil City.

Such meat products are easier to store and can be preserved for a longer time.

Air-dried and cured meat products are naturally not as delicious as fresh meat.

The sky darkened.

The wildfire outside has not been extinguished yet, and is even showing signs of getting worse.

The wildfire spread in all directions. Since the wind is blowing from the southwest today, the wildfire in the northeast is the most severe.

The mountains and forests surrounding the oil city have been burned into ashes and are completely black.

Trading bazaar.

North District Prison.

After several hours of interrogation, it came to an end.

Since Tang Yingjie did not resist at all, Dapao would often ask him a question and Tang Yingjie would answer a series of questions, making the interrogation methods that Dapao had originally prepared completely useless.

Seeing Tang Yingjie's cooperation, Dapao did not make things difficult for him.

Through Tang Yingjie's answers, they learned more details about these so-called Nirvana seekers.

In Li Yu's opinion, these intelligent zombies pose a huge threat to humans today.

Because they have human intelligence, and can evolve like zombies, and even evolve faster with the help of potions.

To a certain extent, those who have attained Nirvana are indeed the future of mankind.

However, being in this half-human, half-corpse state means that one has no sense of pain or taste at all, and if the drug is not injected for a period of time, one will completely turn into a zombie, which is full of uncertainty.

It is very likely that he developed drug resistance due to excessive injections of drugs, and completely lost consciousness.

Therefore, Li Yu felt that these Nirvana seekers must be eliminated. He felt that if these Nirvana seekers were allowed to develop, they would pose a great threat to the power of Dazhangshu and even destroy the entire Dazhangshu.

on the other hand.

Regarding this group of half-human, half-zombie creatures, they learned an extremely important piece of information from Tang Yingjie.

That is, in order to maintain the half-human, half-corpse state, one must regularly inject or swallow medicine.

If the drug is not injected or swallowed for a long time, the half-human, half-corpse will completely become an unconscious zombie.

It is through this that Hu Tian controls the other half-human, half-corpses.

The potion became the core. If the big camphor tree could also make this kind of potion, then they would be able to control those half-human, half-corpse creatures and would not have to obey Hu Tian.

So after Li Yu left the prison, the first task given to Zhao Ke, who accompanied him to the Oil City, was to do his best to develop the medicine that Tang Yingjie mentioned as quickly as possible.

After returning from the trading market, Hua Chen saw the city lord and immediately went forward to report.

"City Lord, we have been searching outside for an entire afternoon and have not found any other intelligent zombies. It is highly likely that they were burned to death by the wildfire."

Hearing this, Li Yu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It would be best if you can find it, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

"Okay." At this moment, Lao Huang hurried over from behind.

After seeing Li Yu and Uncle San, he stopped and said to them:

"City Lord, Minister."

Uncle San saw that Old Huang seemed to be worried, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Old Huang said quickly:

"In the past two days, many residents have come to the trading market to ask when the construction of the buffer city can be resumed and when they can go out to perform tasks."

"With today's wildfire, many people are curious about what happened."

The third uncle glanced at Li Yu and said to him:

"City Lord, the Judge is still keeping an eye on the zombie army. It will probably take another week for the zombie army to arrive. The intelligent zombies outside the Oil City are probably burned to death. Why don't we resume the construction of the buffer city?"

"As for the mission outside, there is still a wildfire outside, so just suspend it. What do you think?"

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded and said, "I have no objection."

"Also, let's explain this to the residents and inform them in advance that the zombie army is heading towards Oil City. Let them be mentally prepared to avoid riots caused by the zombie army arriving unexpectedly."

"Okay." Uncle San looked at Lao Huang and said, "You've heard everything. Just do as the city lord said."

"Okay, I'll go right away." After getting permission, Lao Huang bowed slightly to the two of them, turned around and walked towards the trading market.

night.

Uncle San and Li Yu came to the central building of Oil City and overlooked the entire Oil City inside and outside.

The wildfire in the distance is still burning.

As the moonlight penetrated the mist, green smoke rose from Jigong Mountain in the distance.

The embers flickered in the night wind, like the earth's open eyelids.

The burnt rock walls peeled off, revealing scarlet faults deep in the earth.

From three o'clock in the afternoon until now, the air was filled with ashes.

I pinched my nostrils and found black stuff all over my fingers.

To this end, both of them wore masks to avoid inhaling too much ash.

There was a thick layer of ash on the ground on the roof, and they stepped on it, leaving marks.

These ashes can be used as high-quality organic fertilizer to increase soil fertility and improve crop yield and quality.

So starting from the afternoon, Hu Zhen and Bai Yuzhi, who were in charge of agricultural planting in the Oil City, contacted Ju Tianrui and asked them not to throw away the cleaned ashes as garbage.

Instead, all of it is transported to the buffer city, where it can be directly spread on the soil to increase soil fertility.

In ancient times, people used slash-and-burn farming, which was the simplest method of farming.

The method of setting fire to the mountain was still very effective. At least it allowed them to capture an intelligent zombie and learn a lot about intelligent zombies from him.

Uncle San said:

"Xiao Yu, I think today's method of setting fire is quite useful. The zombie army will arrive soon. According to the news from the judge, the size of the zombie army will definitely not be less than 500 million. With so many zombies, why not refer to the previous oil array and arrange them in advance? What do you think?"

After listening to this, Li Yu nodded and replied:
"That's fine. It's better to make more preparations."

The southern part of Jigong Mountain.

On a leeward slope halfway up the mountain.

Wow~
The ash-covered mountainside suddenly shook, and the ashes fell down.

A hand stretched out from the ashes, covered with burnt black dirt.

Urgently, another hand reached out.

Tian Yunxiao crawled out of the pit, his body covered with ashes and dirt, his face black.

Looking around, some tree trunks were burning, making crackling sounds.

With a move of his feet, Xiang Hua also crawled out of the mud.

Both of them are still alive. The zombies have very strong vitality. If they were humans, even if they stayed in the pit and were buried in the soil, they would either suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen or be burned to death due to the high temperature.

But for zombies, as long as their heads are not fatally injured, they will not die.

Since the pit they had fallen into was relatively large and covered with a layer of soil, neither of them suffered much harm.

"Damn it, the people in Oil City are so cruel. They set fire to the mountain. Fuck them." Tian Yunxiao couldn't help but curse inwardly as he looked at the ashes all over the mountain.

Xiang Hua lay on the ground and kept digging beside him.

"Zhu Desheng, Zhu Desheng, come out!" Xiang Hua dug and shouted.

After only two digs, he touched the burnt legs and buttocks.

Half of Zhu Desheng's body was burned by the flames and fell off at the slightest touch.

Seeing this, Tian Yunxiao ran over to help dig.

When the wildfire came, the pit Zhu Desheng dug was too small to hide his body in.
So when the wildfire came, he could only hide his upper body in the pit.

The area below the belly is still exposed to the air.

Wow.

The two men dug Zhu Desheng out.

Zhu Desheng was still alive, but when he tried to stand up,
But he was stunned to find that his entire lower body was gone.

Only the upper part of the chest cavity remains.

"Brother Hua, where is my...my lower body?" Zhu Desheng asked desperately.

Xiang Hua pointed to a pile of black charred bones next to him and said, "That's your butt and legs. Oh, your stomach should be over there too."

"Ah???" Zhu Desheng obviously couldn't accept all this and was in tears.

No feeling, no feeling at all.

Absurd and outrageous.

How can he still be alive without his lower body?

Tian Yunxiao glanced at him and said:

"You should be thankful. If you were not a Nirvana, you would have died long ago with such serious injuries."

"Let's go. We have to leave here quickly. Otherwise, when tomorrow morning comes, if the people from Oil City come out, they will definitely find us."

Zhu Desheng said aggrievedly: "How can I leave?"

He stretched out his hands, supported himself on the ground, and moved forward a little, but it was too slow.

Tian Yunxiao looked at Xiang Hua and said without hesitation:
"You carry him on your back."

Xiang Hua didn't say anything. He just squatted down and let Zhu Desheng hold his shoulders with both hands.

"Come up."

Zhu Desheng didn't want to be left here, so he had to grab Xiang Hua's shoulders.

Zhu Desheng was so badly burned that not even half of his body was left, so his illness was not serious. Xiang Hua carried him on his back and walked down the mountain with Tian Yunxiao.

There is a river at the foot of the mountain.

Zombies like water. Their bodies have been dried out by the fire. If they take a soak in the river, they will move faster.

In addition, the river flows southward.

Drifting south along the river will also allow you to leave the vicinity of the oil city more quickly.

Thump thump!
After making two splashes of water, they floated on the water and followed the river flowing south.
