Chapter 54 - attack the granary
Jingxi County is a major grain-producing county in X City. The grain stored here is enough for the people of X City before the end of the world to eat for three years. You can imagine how much grain is there. No wonder the base attaches great importance to this task.
In addition to collecting supplies, their group’s task is to try to clean up the zombies in X City, so that the base will send people to transport food again in the future.
After the repair was completed, except for some vehicles and personnel left by the military to guard the temporary station, the others, including the mercenary team invited to participate in the mission, all dispatched to the central area of Jingxi County.
The roar of the vehicle, the sound of the wooden warehouse branch, the sound effects of various abilities, the roar of the zombies, and the muffled sound of hitting the flesh/body intersected each other, and they sounded continuously on the way of the convoy.
Shao Bin focused on driving, Xie Ran, Jiang Xu, and Zhang Majun leaned against the window and held wooden warehouses in their hands to shoot at the besieging zombies.
Their power level is still too low, and they are worried that they will not be able to resist if they encounter danger after they are exhausted too early. Fortunately, they had prepared enough wooden warehouses for ammunition long before the end of the world, and now they are directly using the wooden warehouses to deal with the zombies on the road.
Xie Yun did not participate in the action of cleaning up the zombies on the road because she was sitting in an inconvenient position for shooting, but she was always on high alert, and she had been accumulating powers faintly in her hands to prevent zombies from breaking through the siege.
Not to mention, there will be a zombie that is slightly more agile than the other zombies escaping the suppression of Jiang Xu’s firepower and rushing towards her. Seeing that the sharp black nails are about to grab Jiang Xu’s hand that shoots out of the window, a streak of ice The blade slid across the sky, the zombie’s body froze, and its head fell to the ground immediately, being left far behind by the speeding vehicle.
There will be a building at the intersection ahead. As soon as Shao Bin stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out like an arrow from the string. Then he shifted gears and stepped on the brakes. After waiting for the car to stabilize, he rushed out again, and instantly shook off the zombies who were chasing after him.
“Beautiful! Dude, the technology is good.” A car just happened to pass by them, and the young man with yellow hair sitting in the driver’s seat gave Shao Bin a thumbs up while driving and praised.
“Concentrate on driving your car!” A hand stretched out from behind Huang Mao and slapped him on the head, reprimanded.
“Wow! Dad, do you want to murder your parents and children?” Huang Mao, who had been taught a lesson, croaked, and his funny appearance made the people in both cars laugh.
“Stinky boy…”
The army vehicles took the lead. After the mercenary group vehicles broke, they cleaned up all the way. It took half a day, and the group finally reached the granary in the central area of Jingxi County.
In addition to the central area of Jingxi County, there are also four granaries in the four outer suburbs of east, west, north and south.
In fact, in comparison, the other four grain silos located in the suburbs are easier to get. In the apocalypse, those who can be the leaders of the base are not stupid, how can they not understand this, but after a period of research, the base has long found that humans have supernatural abilities and can continue to evolve, and zombies can also evolve.
With the passage of time, although human abilities can become powerful, the huge number of zombies will only become more powerful. At that time, it will undoubtedly be difficult to get the food in the central area of Jingxi County. It is better to challenge this difficulty from the beginning, and it can be relatively easy.
A tall fence was built around the huge warehouse. The team stopped outside the wall. The zombies inside the wall smelled human and kept roaring restlessly.
Shi Zhang stood outside the warehouse gate, looking at the dense zombies inside, his expression was silent, and his mood was complicated.
“Report to Colonel, there is a building nearby where you can take a break!” Yuan Peng walked behind Shi Zhang and saluted and reported.
“It’s getting late, let everyone go to the building to rest for a night, and start the operation tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Yuan Peng went down to notify after receiving the instructions.
There is an old community near the warehouse. In the post-apocalyptic community, people in the community either turned into zombies or fled to the X City base. The rest of the community was almost empty. At first glance, there were only two or three zombies. Stupidly wandering downstairs in the community.
With Shi Zhang’s order, the team drove towards the community.
The arrival of this group of people made the zombies who smelled the food roared towards them and were shot to death by the soldiers.
After entering the community, the people who were about to clean up the zombies in the building found that there was not a single zombie in it. The zombies who had just been shot to death by the soldiers seemed to be all the remaining zombies in the community.
After a whole day’s rush, the tired people didn’t think much about it, and they avoided the military and chose their favorite houses to live in.
In order to take care of Xie Yun, Xie Qi and his party chose the house on the first floor. Xie Yun was pushed into the room by Jiang Xu. Looking at the empty furnishings, he waved his hand to take out the futon sheets from the space and handed them over to Zhang Ma, who was responsible for making the bed. .
Xie Qi took out many ingredients from the space, and Shi Yuan and Zhan Jiajie cooked together.
After the group had a hearty meal, except for Xie Qi, who was called to the military headquarters for a meeting, everyone else dispersed to rest.
Xie Yun paddled her wheelchair to the balcony and looked at the location of the granary with dignified eyes. She always felt that this line of work was much smoother than expected, which was very unusual, but she didn’t know what was going on.
————————————
Late at night, in the underground warehouse of the granary.
The familiar roar of zombies came from outside the door, and Xiao Liu wrapped his tattered clothes tightly, walked around the grain mountains, and walked inside.
“Uncle Qi.” Xiao Liu whispered.
“How’s it going?” an old, hoarse voice asked.
“It’s not like that, those monsters know that they keep calling all day long.” Xiao Liu pouted and said.
“I’m asking about the people who came this afternoon! What are you talking about with me, kid?”
“There were a lot of people listening to the sound, and they walked around the outer wall and left. Hey~ they are lucky, otherwise they should follow us to make flower fertilizer.” However, depending on the situation, people may come back tomorrow, and they can’t be friends today. It can always be done tomorrow.
“Keep your voice down, I don’t want to die!” His eyes peeked at a corner on the left, Uncle Qi slapped Xiao Liu’s back with a palm, and the huge force made Xiao Liu grin.
“Hey – Uncle Qi, lightly, I can’t stand your little body. Don’t worry, those beasts don’t know that we know their secrets.”
Uncle Qi looked sadly at the skylight above his head, thinking of the person who disappeared inexplicably during this period of time, and sighed: “Alas~ this world, this person is not human anymore.”
Xiao Liu heard the words, fell silent, sat down against Uncle Seven, and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Qi, tell me, is it my turn next? Can I… can I look at the sun outside again?”
“Bullshit, you Uncle Qi and I haven’t had my turn yet, so it’s your turn, it can’t bear to eat your food right away…” The delicious food must be left at the end.
“Sixth son, listen to Uncle Qi’s words. Since we can’t resist resistance, we will endure it. We can live as long as we can. As long as people live, there will always be some hope. When people die, there is really nothing left.” Thinking of the post-apocalypse What the children did to him, Uncle Qi’s old face was full of tears, if it wasn’t for this last little nephew and wanting to see the old lady, the young lady, and the young lady again, he might not be able to last.
“Really?” Xiao Liu put his hands around his knees and buried his head in his legs.

Xie Yun had something in her heart, she didn’t sleep well one night, and woke up early the next morning.
As soon as they got out of the room, they found that everyone got up early. Zhan Jiajie was preparing breakfast with Zhang’s mother, and the rest were sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal, while chatting.
“Xiaoyun is awake, have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?” Xie Qi asked casually when he heard the movement and looked up and found that his daughter was awake.
“washed.”
“What are you still talking about? Lao Xie quickly pushed Xiaoyun over, it’s almost time to start dinner.” Zhan Jiajie turned her head and found Xie Yun came out of the room, urging her husband to bring her daughter over.
“Okay.” Xie Qi got up and pushed Xie Yun to the dining table, Shi Yuan helped set the tableware, and Shi Li and Shao Bin helped with the plates.
Soon, the family had finished breakfast, and once again assembled their armed forces with the team, ready to attack the granary.
Yes, to capture the granary, since Shi Zhang saw a large number of zombies in the granary yesterday, he directly formulated such a simple and rude plan, using the highest firepower – storm!
Bijing zombies have not evolved intelligence yet, and it is obviously useless to play tricks and tricks with a group of creatures with little intelligence, and there are too many zombies in it, and the investigators can’t get in. Since there is no favorable news, it is better. Let’s just start a fight and startle the snakes. By then, it will be clear how many “snakes” are in the wall.
Everyone gathered in front of the gate of the granary wall. Colonel Shi Zhang waved his hand, and a gold-type ability person stepped forward and manipulated the lock of the gate to open. Without the restriction of the big lock, the gate of the granary wall was knocked open by eager zombies. , surging towards them.
The people in the front row holding wooden warehouse weapons fired mercilessly, and the zombies fell in rows, and soon, a thick layer of corpses accumulated on the ground.
It’s a pity that obviously facing this huge group of zombies, the fire suppression is not enough to stop them.
“All power users obey the order, attack!” Shi Zhang’s voice resounded in everyone’s ears.
All the people with supernatural abilities are classified according to their respective supernatural powers in advance, a pile of fire type, a pile of water type, a pile of wind type…, when everyone heard the password of Shizhang, they all moved together. Ability, smashing into the zombie group. Although some levels are too low and the accuracy is too poor, the number of zombies cannot be held back, and all the abilities can always fall on the zombies, causing more or less damage to the zombies.
Although Xie Yun was sitting in a wheelchair and looked very weak, when she waved her hand, a large piece of ice cone smashed down. The head was not bad, and the root hit the head of a zombie, and instantly took away the lives of many zombies, attracting surrounding people. A burst of side glances, those eyes are jealous, envious, awe and fear.
