54. Harvest day
As night gradually approached, Zhao Shifang felt more and more desperate.
He was already sure that no one would care about him. Alone, facing that large number of monsters, there is only one way to die.
Looking back on his life and the countless things he had done, he finally felt regretful.
If he had not chosen to plunder the survivors, he would not have met Gu Zhuo today. If he hadn't met Gu Zhuo, he wouldn't have died as ugly and desperate as he did now.
Finally, dusk fell and night came. He heard the sound of monsters hiding in dark tall buildings not far away. Their breathing sounds seemed to be clear in Zhao Shifang's ears.
Here they come!
In the darkness, countless shadows moved rapidly.
Zhao Shifang pressed his back against the alloy wall. He looked up and saw that there was not a single soldier behind the alloy wall, only Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress guarding there alone.
Through the car window of the Doomsday Fortress, Zhao Shifang seemed to see Gu Zhuo's sarcastic expression.
But Zhao Shifang was so depressed now that he had no extra mood to be angry or angry. He knew it was all his own fault.
He collapsed to the ground weakly, and soon, those monsters, like a swarm of rats spreading the Black Death, all swarmed up.
...
Listening to the sound of the monsters outside constantly beating the alloy wall, mixed with Zhao Shifang's horrific screams, all the soldiers on the bridge were on tenterhooks.
Although the alloy wall has blocked countless monster attacks for them, it can be seen with the naked eye that the defense of the alloy wall is getting weaker and weaker. I don't know which day this wall will be completely broken by monsters...
Unlike the other soldiers, Akashi was very relieved to have Gu Zhuo guarding him in front of the bridge. After all, he was a ruthless man who killed all the monsters in the high-tech industrial park overnight.
But the other soldiers were obviously still worried. When Akashi was accompanying Akashi to count the supplies, one of them couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, how should I call you, and that big brother outside?"
As soon as he heard this question, Akashi knew that this was an old man who was deeply affected by bureaucracy.
"Akashi, the one outside is called Gu Zhuo."
Akashi answered them absentmindedly, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with them.
"Okay Brother Ming."
Although the soldier could see that Akashi was unwilling to talk to him, he still shamelessly continued to talk to him:
"Brother Ming, if Brother Zhuo is left alone to deal with those monsters outside, nothing will happen, right? After all, there were so many of us before, and it was quite difficult to guard this bridge..."
Akashi glanced at him coldly.
"It's not Brother Ming. Don't get me wrong. I'm worried about Brother Zhuo's safety. I'm not cursing him. What I'm thinking about is whether I can help Brother Zhuo. I have no other intention..."
The soldier wanted to continue talking, but Akashi interrupted him impatiently:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just check out the supplies here. Besides, even if something happens and the bridge is lost, none of us can escape."
The soldier was choked by Akashi, but he didn't dare to talk back. He obediently stopped talking, and the others continued to count the supplies.
I have to say that Zhao Shifang did store a lot of supplies here.
Not counting the winter warm clothes and some military bulletproof vests that filled an entire tent. Three tents were fully stocked with military instant rations and emergency drinking water.
In addition to the most basic food and water, many canned fruits, expensive tobacco and alcohol were also collected in the tent where only Zhao Shifang could enter and exit alone.
Several cartons of cigarettes had been dismantled, and only half of the bottles of wine had been consumed.
"Your commander is quite good at enjoying life."
Akashi taunted several soldiers.
Several soldiers didn't know how to answer and could only laugh.
To be precise, Zhao Shifang was not the only one to use the items in the entire tent, but also the officers and soldiers under his command. After all, sometimes, tobacco and alcohol have a much greater mental effect on people than food and water.
After counting the first few tents, I walked towards the next few tents.
When I walked to the largest tent, there was a strange sound coming from inside.
This strange sound made Akashi's heart skip a beat, as if he thought of something.
"What's in this tent?"
"Brother Ming, there aren't any supplies here. Let's skip it and go to the next tent..."
The soldier smiled awkwardly and wanted to take Akashi to the next tent. Akashi stared at him coldly and walked straight to the tent regardless of whether he would stop him.
"Brother Ming!"
Seeing that they couldn't stop Akashi, and because of Gu Zhuo's intimidation, the soldiers didn't dare to do anything to him, so they had to follow him to the tent with a shy face.
When he opened the tent, there were more than a dozen women inside!
The dozen or so women ranged from big to small, all disheveled, and all had numb and empty expressions.
Seeing these soldiers coming in, they all huddled in a corner of the tent, as if suffering from traumatic stress disorder, and did not dare to look up at them.
Seeing this scene, Akashi immediately understood what happened and where this place was.
He didn't speak, just clenched his fist silently.
These women reminded him of the poor women who were violated by Liu Yihu in his original survivor base.
He made no move and quietly exited the tent.
"Brother Ming, this was all the idea of that scumbag Zhao Shifang. It has nothing to do with us, I swear!"
The soldiers saw Akashi's disdain for robbing women and quickly defended him.
"It goes without saying, I don't want to know the details."
Akashi interrupted him. He still clenched his fists tightly, but there was no strange expression on his face:
"Go check the supplies for the next tent."
The soldier knew that it was best not to offend Akashi at this juncture, so he quickly led him to the next tent without saying a word.
The next few tents hold various weapons. After all, the official army is different from local ruffians like Liu Yihu. The weapons here are much better than what Akashi has seen before.
There are the latest 308 sniper rifles, submachine rifles, portable machine guns, and even the pistols are MK23 special warfare tactical pistols. In addition to the rich variety of firearms, all kinds of bullets are also available, packed in bullet boxes, filling the entire tent.
Not only were there a variety of firearms, Akashi also discovered an unexpected surprise.
It was the afternoon, and Zhao Shifang used the new high-explosive mine to attack Gu Zhuo's doomsday fortress. There are two full boxes of this new type of high-explosive mine, hidden in the deepest part of the entire ammunition depot.
"This high-explosive mine is good."
When Akashi saw these two boxes of high-explosive mines, he immediately asked a few soldiers to take them out and place them in the most conspicuous place in the tent.
Several soldiers quickly obeyed.
In addition to hot weapons, Akashi also found some tactical machetes, special knives, batons and other cold weapons for self-defense in the tent at the back.
Basically, the supplies in all the tents were inventoried, and only three large military trucks were left unchecked.
These three large military trucks were the same color as the tents, all military green. They were parked behind several connected large tents. At first glance, they were really easy to miss.
Akashi walked to the big truck with a no-nonsense attitude.
"Open the trunk of the car and let me see what's inside."
The soldier quickly complied and opened the trunk of the truck.
I saw that there were no weapons or supplies in the trunk of the military truck, only many bulging sacks.
Akashi opened the sack and saw that there were several bags of seeds of unknown crops inside.
"Do you still have seeds?"
"Zhao Shifang collected this. He said he was stocking up on some seeds and might use them one day."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shifang is also a farming enthusiast.
Hearing this, Akashi asked the soldiers to open the trunks of the other two large trucks. Sure enough, the trunks of the two military trucks were also filled with various seeds.
After seeing the three large military trucks, there was no material left to count on the entire bridge. Akashi took a notebook and wrote down the quantities of these materials one by one. While writing it down, he was also sighing that the quantity and quality of the materials here was beyond his expectation.
On the other side, Gu Zhuo was guarding the entrance of the bridge.
Countless monsters at the entrance of the bridge were frantically attacking the alloy door. Under their feet was Zhao Shifang's completely eaten corpse.
After Gu Zhuo's observation over the past few days, he found that although these monsters had hard shells and were almost invulnerable, their attack power was not that terrifying.
Just like this alloy wall, this alloy wall is not a highly defensive fortification, but it can still resist monsters for so long. And Gu Zhuo could clearly see now that these monsters attacked the alloy wall, leaving only a few scratches of varying depths on the wall.
If it hadn't been for the large number of monsters that have been attacking the wall these past few days, the alloy wall might have been able to last longer.
As for the way to quickly and completely destroy the wall, Gu Zhuo speculated that the only way is to have countless monsters pile up together and forcefully knock the alloy wall open.
But Zhao Shifang still has some brains in this aspect. He put up a lot of supports behind the alloy wall. As long as the number of monsters is not too exaggerated, it is completely enough to resist them.
Aiming at the weak points of the monsters at the front and knocking them down one by one, it was now an easy task for Gu Zhuo to hold the bridge.
These monsters, if you think about it, are disgusting looking and would be difficult to kill if you can't find a weak spot.
The rest have low IQs and are afraid of the sun, so their lethality may not be as good as that of an adult tiger. These fatal weaknesses determine that these monsters are absolutely impossible to fundamentally threaten human existence.
As long as they do not evolve a second time and kill the mutants infected by them in time, then in the doomsday, the main enemy will still be human beings themselves.
Gu Zhuo made a small summary in his mind and decided that it would be better to kill everything in the future to avoid future troubles.
...
They stayed up until early morning, and the monsters returned without success all night.
They sensed the emergence of sunlight and ran back into the dark building like crazy.
Naturally, Gu Zhuo would not miss this great opportunity. He asked the soldiers to open the gate, drive out of the Doomsday Fortress, and kill everyone outside.
It has to be said that every time he frantically mows the grass against a group of monsters, it is Gu Zhuo's most stress-relieving and refreshing moment.
After killing a group of monsters that didn't have time to hide in the dark building, Gu Zhuo didn't bother to take care of the remaining monsters.
The most important thing now is to take away the supplies here and send Akashi to the broadcast signal tower.
Back on the bridge, Gu Zhuo contacted Akashi through the walkie-talkie and learned that Akashi had finished counting all the supplies here.
Gu Zhuo couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the list of supplies listed by Akashi, especially the seeds that filled three military trucks.
Good guy, this has directly become harvest day. As long as you collect this batch of supplies and get that batch of seeds, you can start farming on the Doomsday Fortress!
