I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 74: Observations of the Human Observation Group
On the plateau, in the base, at the dragnet command center, the leader of the human observation team kept adjusting the screen, counting green safety areas with an area of more than 1 square kilometer across the country. Reaching this number means that these civilian settlements have been able to enter the sight of the dragnet command center. This is the standard for small settlements set by the government. Don't think that 1 square kilometer is too little, it is a full 1,500 acres of land!
1 million square meters!
An ordinary community only covers more than 50,000 square meters, that is to say, 1 square kilometer is equal to the area of 20 ordinary communities, which is already a considerable territory. Such a large territory is qualified to be registered with the Tianluodiwang Bureau. At present, some local governments with poor armed capabilities have been impacted by the zombie tide and have moved to temporary bases of about 1 square kilometer, while the area of medium-sized settlements is 10 square kilometers~! 99 square kilometers, large settlements refer to green areas with an area of more than 100 square kilometers. At present, only a few provincial capitals in the country can achieve large settlements. It is not that other cities cannot clean up zombies in such a large territory, but... Such a large territory is too difficult to defend. In the past, the borders of China were often harassed by barbarians and suffered for a long time. Qin Shihuang had a far-sighted vision and spent huge manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall to block the nomadic peoples outside the pass. You know, nomadic peoples still choose the season to invade and will not think about it every day. What about zombies? Every day, they move to crowded places by instinct, so the larger the territory, the larger the defense line of zombies needed. However, the current industrial level and construction capacity cannot allow various places to build defensive walls as solid as the Great Wall. Naturally, various places cannot expand the green area. They can only continue to train soldiers and increase the number of extraordinary people. They will expand their territory after reaching a certain scale. When the number of survivors is small, the larger the territory is not necessarily better.
The leader of the human observation team is a 35-year-old middle-aged man named Shi Lai.
He knew all about the survivor bases all over the country. Recently, he found a very interesting information. In Q City, H Province, he once saw a small green safe zone supported by civilian forces. It had been expanding outward in the last month before the overall evolution of the zombies. He didn't think it was a very important thing at first, because the government of Q City had lost contact, and the soldiers and civilian superhumans scattered in various places had not formed a joint force before. Under the leadership of a great civilian hero, a large amount of power could be quickly integrated to open up a safe zone belonging to Q City. However... the clearing speed of Q City was really too fast, basically catching up with the clearing speed of a large force in a provincial capital city. He thought it might be because there were many superhumans in Q City, and there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
But... today Shi Lai discovered something incredible. He carefully looked through the development history of Q City, this special folk settlement, in the past month. It has been expanding outward every day, but it has not formed a completely safe zone. Zombies from outside continue to pour into their expanding areas, and every day their people have to clear out the zombies that have been stuffed in before they can expand outward. That's right!
Shi Lai also saw that in the middle of last month, they started to launch the nighttime zombie cleanup work, which was extremely efficient. During the night time period every day, large numbers of zombies disappeared from the map.
Shi Lai believed that this was a troop led by some psychics who could provide safe vision in the wild. Such special psychics appeared in various places. Their combat capabilities were average, but they had some auxiliary abilities. In City D, there was a female superhuman named Xiaoguan who was good at glowing and often cooperated with the troops to perform tasks at night, in places that could not be reached during the day. After the zombies in the wild became quiet, the superhumans only had to solve the vision problem and they could complete the task. All of the above made Shi Lai feel that there were many talents in the safe zone of City Q.
However, just in these few days, a week after the zombies completed their evolution, a completely enclosed large green safe zone suddenly formed in Q City!
Over 100 kilometers of territory!
This satisfied the Luonet's identification of a large settlement. Shi Lai found this incredible, because it meant that... these people in Q City were capable of establishing a defensive position that the evolved zombies could not cross within a week!
And it's completely safe!
The height of the defensive position must be at least 10 meters to defend against M-type and Y-type (Harpy) zombies!
"Is this possible? I think it's possible after our sequential defense plan starts, but... definitely not now. What happened in Q City in the past month? What did they do? How did their defense line form?"
With these questions in mind, he opened the physical satellite map of Q City. The map was zoomed in to a mysterious large settlement on the east side of Q City. "This...!"
He adjusted the camera again and observed it carefully. After looking at the real satellite map, Shi finally understood and exclaimed: "No wonder, no wonder...it's such a large safe zone! It's surrounded by stones on three sides, with a 30-meter-high and 3-meter-thick wall. Except for M1 and Y1 zombies, no zombies can break through!"
"Surrounded by mountains to the north and the sea to the south, the natural geographical advantage reduces the defense area by half!"
"But... for such a huge project, how much manpower would it take to complete it within a week? No, even if all the survivors here worked together, it would be impossible to complete it! What... did they rely on? Could it be..."
Shi Lai noticed the mountains to the north, then shook his head. "Yugong moving the mountains? Not to mention the end of the world, even in the past, digging mountains was an extremely difficult task. Every large tunnel requires a combination of engineering, blasting, structural mechanics and other professional disciplines to produce a plan. And such a large wall... the amount of stone required is unimaginable! How did they transport millions of tons of stone?"
Shi Lai thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He no longer dwelled on the reason. The end of the world was a terrifying era, but it was also... an era that could create miracles, the emergence of personal great power, the birth of wonderful supernatural powers, and miracles were not the first to occur on this continent.
So, Shi Lai began to pay attention to the results. "This may be the safest large settlement besides our dragnet military base... and the Q City government has lost contact, so how about...?"
He remembered the idea that came to his mind last time. Shi Lai has always followed Hu Shou, and he has fully inherited Hu Shou's "pragmatism". No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Since the local government of Q City is missing and they have completely lost control of Q City, why can't they set up a new institution?
Bring this large settlement under the control of our dragnet!
Shi Lai showed a rare excitement. He felt that his idea was completely feasible. Currently, the whole country had only one goal: to eliminate zombies.
As long as they can form an effective force to fight against the zombies, no matter what his previous identity, status, or what kind of person he is, he can be absorbed into the organization to fight against the zombies.
As for the situation of warlords who might establish their own regimes in the future... haha, let's talk about it after the zombies are wiped out. Shi Lai felt like laughing when he thought of this point of view. The homes of the Chinese people have been occupied by zombies, but there are still some old antiques who are thinking about maintaining absolute ruling status. How ridiculous!
This idea was suppressed only after the world's scientific research community announced the concept of "time lock" in zombie genes and predicted that the next "time lock" would be opened in half a year, because... everyone is not stupid. If they cannot recover their homes, it will be difficult to maintain their rule, let alone maintain their lives. If they recover their homeland after several years, they will be faced with the empty and vast land of China and not a single person will be found. Then... what's the point?
"Commander Hu will definitely agree with my suggestion!"
Because Hu Shou has never been a pedantic person. He was the one who took the lead in resisting the pressure from the conservatives, allowing everyone in the Tianluodiwang Headquarters to let go and save this virus-ridden continent.
"If this precedent is set, other places that have lost contact can adopt this method to re-establish control over the place. Relying solely on the investigation team is too inefficient, and the timeliness of the information is much worse!"
“This is the first pilot!”
After Shi finished speaking, he took a deep look at the 130-kilometer safety zone on the map. The solid wall was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Next, he needed to organize the information and form an implementable report and hand it to Hu Shou as soon as he returned.
He manipulated the remote control to restore the red and green light map. This map could clearly show the movements of zombies and humans across the country. Shi Lai, who was about to compile a report, suddenly paused. He took a closer look at the map and said, "Something's wrong!"
He zoomed in on the Q City area on the map. Northeast of the Haishan Pass area, within Zhongruan County, a dense cluster of red dots were moving towards Haishan Pass...
"This zombie tide... I remember they had already left Q City, why are they back again?"
Shi Lai pulled the leader of the zombie tide observation team over and asked him to check the movement of this zombie tide based on his own data. The leader of the observation team also had a strange look on his face: "This zombie tide is codenamed B12, a medium-sized zombie tide. It started from the urban area of Q City and moved northeast. After arriving in Zhongruan County and attacking several local settlements, it moved towards the H City area. Why did it return to Zhongruan County? Strange..."
Shi Lai frowned, "I guess I know the reason..."
The leader of the zombie tide observation team looked in the direction of his hand and found a large green safety zone next to the urban area of Q City. The green light spots in it were densely packed. Shi Lai used the built-in selection tool on the large screen to select all the light spots in the safety zone. The map analysis software gave a conclusion:
Number of humans : 23,448
Number of zombies: 0
"Please select the largest population settlement in H City," said the leader of the zombie tide observation team.
After some operation, the map analysis software shows:
Number of humans: 19,970
Number of zombies: 791
"This is the largest settlement in H City. It's not a completely safe area. There are still loopholes in its defense. And the number of people is not as large as here. I suspect it's..."
The leader of the zombie tide observation team thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, the zombie tide also attacks based on distance. They will prioritize attacking the human settlements nearby. The difference in the number of people in these two settlements is not much, and it is far from enough to change the direction of the zombie tide. Otherwise... there are more people here, so shouldn't all the zombies in the country target this place?"
Shi Lai thought about it and it made sense, "Then...what exactly caused them to return?"
"Strange... very strange, but there is no particularly fixed explanation for the behavior of the zombies. Perhaps... there is some special mechanism? This large settlement is in trouble. Now we can only pray that the zombies are not heading for them. However, there are mountains and seas on both sides, so the chances of changing the route are not high. Alas... what a pity!"
The leader of the zombie tide observation team shook his head and left. Shi Lai suppressed the idea of turning this safe zone into a local branch of the dragnet. The most important thing now is... to keep these human heroes alive!
They must run!
This is... 200,000 zombies!
And they are all evolved zombies. This medium-sized zombie tide is enough to flatten everything!
A 30-meter-high wall is completely useless unless you make it over 100 meters high!
"Is it possible? Definitely not..."
"Ah... the people who can build a 30-meter wall must have some kind of ability to move things, and there may not be just one person! It would be great if we could recruit them to build defense positions for local governments in turn..."
Shi Lai took another look at the zombies moving on the map and said, "First, contact the people in this large settlement in Q City and have them move as soon as possible!"
Shi Lai went to the Tianluodiwang hotline office to look for the phone numbers of the survivors in City Q who had called Tianluodiwang before. By calling all of them, he would be able to find the people in this large settlement with a high probability.
"What a pity! Their efforts over the past month...will all be in vain!"
