After the train slowly stopped at Xiaocaohu Station, Chen Yuan quickly got off the train with his troops.

There were only a handful of seven or eight zombies in the station, and there was shade here, and the cold winter and a small amount of snow allowed them to avoid being dried meat. But after Chen Yuan and the others came here, these zombies were not unexpected, and they were easily eliminated immediately.

The garrison company of the Self-Salvation Army soon completely occupied the station and began to set up defenses.

And the field troops began to form their own units, as well as unload vehicles and supplies from trains.

An hour later, Chen Yuan and Xu Kai set off from the railway station with a platoon of guards and went to the saltpeter mine area northeast of the railway station to conduct reconnaissance.

At the same time, a team of half-corpses was sent to the town of Train Station, 90 kilometers away. The mission is to reconnoiter and search and rescue survivors.

Chen Yuan, who was heading to the saltpeter mining area, stopped a kilometer away from the target. Chen Yuan immediately asked the scouts to send drones to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the mining area.

It didn't take long for the drone to send back aerial footage of the saltpeter mine.

"Well, it looks like there are quite a few zombies in the mine. There are at least a thousand. "There are a lot of zombies wandering around the screen. Jiang Wenli only glanced at it a few times before speaking.

But Chen Yuan said: "I'm afraid it's more than that! According to the intelligence information provided to us by Shenwu City, this enterprise called Xiaocaohu Saltpeter Mineral Resources Development Co., Ltd. has a large number of people, with more than 4,000 people. The company covers an area of nearly 600 acres, including mining, refining and sales. Their sales department should be in Shanshan County to the west. It is a mining and refinery plant, but it is also the largest department, accounting for at least 90% of the company's total workforce. Moreover, the place is remote, there is no village in front of the village, and there is no store in the back, and the employees should all live in the dormitory of the mining area. So there must be a lot of people, and there should be only a part of them wandering on the road. ”

Zhang Zeshan said: "4,000 zombies are no problem!" Although there were no people from the fire support battalion to participate in the mission this time, the firepower of our two battalions is now enough! 4000 zombies are a piece of cake! ”

"But the terrain here is not good for us!" Xu Kai reminded: "The terrain here is too open, and the zombies can completely disperse the offensive formation, so that our firepower advantage cannot be brought into play." In addition, there is almost no snow on the ground here, and the ground is very hard, which is conducive to zombie charge. If 4,000 zombies rush towards us at the same time, with the strength we currently have, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. ”

"Lao Xu is right, I agree with him." Chen Yuan said to everyone: "So in this battle, we must first separate the zombie group. In addition, it is necessary to build strong and easily defensible fortifications in advance. ”

Jiang Wenli said: "It should be possible to separate the zombies. When attacking, the north and south sides will each lure the enemy, take advantage of our speed advantage, and take the zombies around the Gobi, which should be able to disperse the zombies' forces for a while. At the very least, it should allow us to destroy some of the zombies' living force first. But what kind of fortifications to build? Ordinary trenches can only resist the zombies' ranged attack weapons, and do not have much effect on the zombies' charges. ”

"So build a wall. It is 5 meters high and 2 meters wide. So that zombies can't climb up. ”

Zhang Zeshan asked, "Do you want to use the materials we brought to build the resource point?" But we didn't bring a lot of cement. And no bricks or large rocks have been found. The Gobi Desert is full of small pebbles. ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "No, we only need the soil here to build a temporary city wall, it doesn't need to be too strong." He pointed to his feet and continued: "Here, facing the direction of the mining area, draw a piece of land 300 meters long and 3 meters wide, and then dig a trench along this field that is 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep. The excavated soil is just enough to pile the city wall in the middle. ”

"Use the mound of earth here for the walls! I'm afraid not, right? Zhang Zeshan grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, rubbed it gently, and immediately broke it all into sand. Zhang Zeshan reminded: "Castle Chief, look. The soil here has no moisture at all, it is not sticky at all, and it can't be piled up at all, and if you step on it a little, it will collapse. Unless you can find logs or planks, build an exterior wall and then fill in the middle of the earth. ”

Zhang Zeshan said with a bitter face: "But the castle chief, this is the Gobi!" Where do we find wood? ”

"No wood is needed." Chen Yuan said: "It's okay to have my dad." He can harden the dirt and rocks with his abilities. It doesn't matter if the ability drains and the earthen wall collapses, we just need the temporary wall to hold out until the battle is over. ”

"Oh...... Yes, there's that trick! Jiang Wenli asked, "Then when are we going to dig it?" ”

"Let's do it in the evening. During the day, large forces move and are easy to spot. Chen Yuan said: "Let's go back now, let the troops rest for a while, and recuperate their spirits." We'll come back after dark. ”

Xinjiang Province is located on the western border of Huaxia, two time zones away from the eastern region, and the sunset time is relatively late.

At 7 p.m., the genius darkened slightly.

At this time, the two field infantry battalions, a mortar company, a guard platoon, a special combat team, two sniper squads, and 500 workers stationed at resource points, nearly 1,250 people of the Self-Salvation Army were ready to go.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan prepared the vehicle in advance when they were at the satellite launch center. Otherwise, they only found 7 cars here. A small car was returned to the half-corpse squad bound for the train station town. Even then, there are not enough vehicles.

So during the day, the maintenance squadron has carried out a simple transformation of 5 buses, 5 minibuses, and 6 cars. The bus used to have 55 seats, but now it is packed with 80 people, and there are 50 people on the roof. Minibuses and cars are also heavily overloaded. But it doesn't matter next door, there are no cliffs here anyway. The vehicle went straight ahead and couldn't get out of trouble.

12 armoured personnel carriers, 9 tanks and 5 self-propelled guns, all with roofs filled to the brim. In the end, so many people were barely squeezed out.

The speed of the vehicle was naturally much faster than on foot, and the team set off before it was dark, and before it was completely dark, it arrived at the predetermined position without any problems. It's already dark, so don't worry about being spotted by zombies a kilometer away.

"Get off the bus and assemble!" Maybe it was because of the relatively close distance and the fact that it was dark, Zhang Zeshan was afraid that he would be heard by the zombies opposite, so he deliberately lowered his voice and shouted.

In fact, this is not necessary at all, shouting normally, even if you hold the third duke, the voice can't be transmitted a kilometer away.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Let's do it!" The commanders of the various teams urged one after another. Time was of the essence and they didn't have much time.
