428 Ostriches and sand

More than seventy pale, trembling men knelt in the open space with their heads in their hands, and their mouths kept begging for mercy, but no one would pay attention to them, only a dozen or so rifles surrounded them in a circle, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at their foreheads and the back of their heads from time to time, and if they found that something was wrong with them, they would spray deadly flames.

Seeing that his subordinates had everything under control, Chi Yong stood up, stepped over the tired corpses, walked across the ground soaked in blood, and stood beside the captives, staring at the captives without speaking.

After a while, the fingers of his right hand were erected, and at the same time, there was an uproar, and the remaining dozens of singers gathered around, pulled the bolt, put on their bayonets, and surrounded the captives.

"Nope! Don't kill me, I don't know anything, we're all being blackmailed......"

"I have news to say...... Very important news......"

"Please, please, let me go...... I really didn't kill any of you......"

All kinds of wails and begs for mercy rang out from among the captives, their expressions varied, most of them panicked, they knew what they were going to face, and a few knelt on the ground, scanning around at double speed, their eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness and determination, they were looking for an opportunity to resist.

In the face of absolute strength, whether it is begging for mercy or resisting is ineffective, those who begged for mercy were stabbed to death by bayonets one by one, those who wanted to fight hard in the end were shot into honeycomb coal as soon as they started, and when the last person swallowed his last breath blindly, Ji Yong walked towards the gathering place with all his subordinates.

After the hundred people killed hundreds of people, they walked with a bad aura, and Chi Yong, who was walking in it, didn't find anything wrong with his subordinates, he just arrived, the gathering place will face a new round of storms, and the bridge will be built tomorrow...... It is impossible for Zhang Xiaoqiang not to know that the blood of hundreds of people has stained the bones of countless zombies red, and hundreds of people have been killed by the reconnaissance squadron on the way to escape.

There is only one reason why the defectors who escaped can come back at great risk, the zombies come again, and they come the day before the bridge is completely erected, and now the bridge can only be built until midnight at the earliest, and it does not mean that it will become a living channel, and the capacity of a bridge is limited, and it takes time for thousands of carts and 120,000 people to be transported out on the gathering ground.

Especially cars, Zhang Xiaoqiang's armored cars and military vehicles are the top priority, most of the bridges are actually built for these cars, Zhang Xiaoqiang can't give up, there are also material cars, women are different from men, women are an important resource in the end times, a man and a group of women can multiply, but a group of men cannot, fighting with zombies is a protracted war, no matter how many men die, as long as there are seeds, there are women, human beings can revive again, without women, no matter how many zombies humans kill, they can only wait to perish.

So, half of the 1,000 taels of cars transported food, half of them transported women, young women, and if not, these women would be the first to be eliminated during the long-distance migration.

Zhang Xiaoqiang had to face two choices, completely abandon the wall, and lead his convoy and army to withdraw at the same time as the bridge was built, one night was enough for them to transfer, and even Zhang Huai'an and the armed police could be transferred, of course, they would have to give up the gathering place of nearly 100,000 people, and 500 taels of cars could carry more than 10,000 women, Zhang Xiaoqiang had enough time to take these women to thrive in the mountains of the missile base.

The other is to follow the predetermined plan, resist to the last moment, and retreat with everyone, the two plans have their own advantages, the first plan can minimize the risk, although the harvest is not much, but Zhang Xiaoqiang's base has a single person without a wife, plus nearly 10,000 people on Huxin Island, as well as the population of the base, his strength has expanded nearly tenfold, and the eight thousand people in his hands are twenty times as much as before.

The second is step by step, choose the first, can save all the combat power, the maximum possible transfer of materials, pave the way for future development, the second is the opposite of the first, the combat power may be lost, the material loss is serious, and the transfer of 100,000 people is a difficult task, but once these people survive, the base will get a group of high-quality personnel, and those who can survive to the base will not be simple, and there is perseverance.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't tell anyone about the two plans, and I believe that no one dared to make a choice, including him Zhang Xiaoqiang, the life and death of 100,000 people are only in a thought, no one dares to pay this responsibility, and no one dares to bear the conscience debt of 100,000 people, after all, they are all modern people, not heroes who are dogs with the people.

In Zhang Xiaoqiang's entanglement, the news of the return of the zombies has been released, the actions of the entire gathering place have been accelerated, all kinds of preparations have come to an end, the second line of defense of the gathering place has been completed, all the construction vehicles have been evacuated, and the cars have also been filled with fuel, waiting to be on the road, and tens of thousands of carefully selected women of childbearing age have already gotten on the car.

Relatively speaking, compared to the hectic situation of the gathering place, the temporary camp of the poor seemed to be undisturbed, they were strictly watched, except for eating and sleeping, at noon, the armed men of the outside guard rushed into the makeshift camp and forcibly dragged two thousand young women, and the others were indifferent, watching quietly, as if the women were not one of them, and for these people, everyone tacitly did not tell them the truth.

Compared with the poor people who were close to being abandoned, the civilians who had been told a long time ago set off a slight wave, they knew that they would withdraw from the gathering place, and most of them were nervous at the thought of leaving the safe gathering place, although they knew that the gathering place was not safe, until the last moment, they always had some conjectures in their hearts, expecting that the zombies would be killed and would not come, but they did not expect that the zombies would come back again in just a few days.

In the face of the outside world, most people are afraid, they were originally a flock of ostriches living in the gathering place, suddenly the sand is gone, they did not think of running with their legs, but wanted to find a pile of sand again, the nearest sand, but the island in the middle of the lake.

When the whole gathering place was busy, when tens of thousands of poor people were buried in the dark like fools, the common people, who had always been peaceful, were restless.

At the riverside shipyard, a flotilla of ten flat-bottomed boats came from afar, a long flotilla of boats rowing through the calm lake, laden with munitions, and slowly approaching the wharf, where thousands of men waited, the logisticians of the camp, the ships sent out in the morning to venture out to fetch weapons.

The dock where weapons and munitions were piled up on the other side of the lake was within the sphere of influence of the big black bird, and the operation itself was a great risk during the day, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaoqiang's lack of arms to the limit, he would not have risked sending out the only ships he had, but fortunately, the fleet finally completed the task after several thrilling adventures, bringing ten ships of munitions.

When the flotilla docked, two 062 frigates and the Explorer 001 search boat also sailed to the shore and anchored, and the sailors finished their cover duties, got out of the cabin, and stood on the deck watching the hustle and bustle on the dock.

The sailors looked at the militia on the shore, and they didn't know what it was like, joining the sailors meant safety, but also lost the opportunity to kill the enemy on land, and the soldiers who joined the army at the same time as them, each of them did not have dozens of zombie lives in their hands? On the contrary, they sit in a safe boat every day, looking at the zombies on the shore and are anxious, and they don't know when they will be able to fight a big battle.

While the dock area was busy, five or six thousand people slowly surrounded the riverside camp, which was not large but heavily defended, not to mention a few assault vehicles with heavy machine guns in the storehouse, three squads were stationed, and there were also two machine gun nests and three squads at the gate of the riverside camp.
