Apocalypse Cockroach

Chapter 1374: 335 North-South Strategy

As the second guard group left, much of the noise between the valleys disappeared. Joe lay quietly in bed, his squad lazily soaking up the sun on the grass outside, relaxing and eating the dragon tooth fruit rewarded to them.

The highly alert viral research center, Lee Hae-yun, stared red-eyed at the microscopic slices, and beside him, the Mutant Monkey King, and the Mutant Python Snake, all sorts of data had been fortified into a half-foot-tall hill. In another place, the monkey king's weird organs aroused some curiosity and were being tested by various means.

Outside, hundreds of mutant monkeys swallowed the mutilated meat they were given, and from time to time someone walked through their cages without distracting them at all. In their eyes, as long as there was food, it didn't matter whether or not they stayed in cages.

Elsewhere in the valley, the grassless ground was excavated from a huge pit, the pit was full of zombie corpses, the edge of the pit was full of armed guarded soldiers, a zombie was pulled backwards, his head was cut off by the pit, kicked into the pile, and he stood beside Li Yiu, watching a zombie fall cold, until the zombie in the pit had begun to rot, he threw a large peanut-like seed onto the pile, and then hundreds of iron shovels lifted the dirt into the pit and buried it.

Zhang Xiaoqiang arrived in downtown Qiaotou at noon. As soon as he got there, he received Zhao Jun's jet...

After Zhao Jun led the army out of Yinchuan City, instead of attacking Yongning County as directly as before, he carefully cleaned up the surrounding villages and towns in Yongning County for a second time, allowing all the troops to rotate out and eventually surround Yongning County.

Yongning County is not very far from Yinchuan City, dozens of kilometers away, arrive in an hour by car, there are not many zombies. There are about 100,000 to 150,000 zombies in the heart of the county, the rest are scattered around the surrounding towns, Zhao Junjun is not careless, even if his strength is compared to that of the zombies, which is an absolute upper wind.

When Yongning County was besieged, Zhao Jun divided the troops under his command into four parts, evenly blocking the exits of the four main roads in Yongning County, allowing the four troops to lure the dead at the same time.

Zhang Xiaoqiang's troops already have a complete lure program, nothing short of sound and blood, four directions lure, divide the zombies in the county city into four parts, the number of each zombie will not be large, each regiment guards a junction, a large number of cavalry as a clearing force for scattered zombies, eventually, after the destruction of dozens of Type 2 zombies, all street zombies were cleared.

The battle to clear the zombies was not intense, but the number of casualties remained high, as they had to be kept close by to control the depletion of ammunition, killed with cold weapons, and used thermal weapons such as rocket-propelled heavy machine guns only after seeing type 2 zombies, so each unit suffered dozens of losses.

Altogether, after cleaning up the corpses, the four regiments lost more than 100 people. In this regard, Zhao Jun was not as frightened as Ding Ziqiang. Such casualties are completely acceptable to him. Many warriors are taking part in physical combat for the first time. Compared to the regular army, the casualties of the corps are controlled on the new death row, and there are basically no casualties on the old death row, which is sufficient to show that as long as there is enough experience, the casualties will only become smaller and smaller.

After the extermination of Yongning County's zombies, he asked the death squad to enter the city to clean up the zombies door to door, guard the three squadrons to control all the warehousemen of Yongning County's martial arts department, at the same time let all the chief officers summarize after the war, analyze the causes of the casualties, and come up with new tactics for the next step to clear the zombies. When there was no more zombies in the entire county, Zhao Jun took all the battles before and after, carefully sorted out the documents, and rushed to Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands in the bridge area.

Zhang Xiaoqiang had some sentiment with this heartfelt and painstaking war report. I didn't expect Zhao Jun to start showing up after Ding's defeat. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Jun didn't fight on the front line. Instead, he stayed patiently behind, did the coordination and summing up work of the various forces, divided their respective battle areas. In terms of the loss of each force and the outcome of the war, he did not uniquely favour the three regiments, and already had the potential of handsome talent.

More than a hundred people's death reports were put aside by Zhang Xiaoqiang, single-handedly tapped the desktop. For him, the casualties had evolved from bloody corpses to numbers, not to say hard hearts or anything. Much more often, it was numbness, how to control the casualties to a certain degree, so as not to reduce morale is what he had to consider.

“Is that what happened to Ishiharano? ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and asked the Honorable Wang Xin who stood beside him. Wang Xin selected several projects from the tablet in his hand and opened up all the information of the northern team. The first time he reported:

“The northern military region is progressing smoothly, their target is three times higher than the southern line team, the two banks of the Yellow River are planted areas and relatively densely populated. The Chief of Staff of Shi divided the troops into two parts, and since the two banks of the Yellow River are simultaneously moving into the clearance of corpses along the way, so far 22 villages and towns have been cleared and will be surrounded the day after tomorrow from both sides of the Yellow River. … ”

Hearing here, Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded herself, the Yellow River is their future lifeline. Once the ship is built, water transport will occupy the vast majority of transport power in the future. It is also the lifeline of the future battle of Baotou, so be sure to clean up along the Yellow River.

“Before the Northern Line team, the two regiments had roughly reconnaissance, and there would be no unplanned deviations. However, during the extermination of the zombies, the Northern Line team found a number of scattered survivors, and they brought us new intelligence. It was about the forces in the vicinity of Bayannaol City, below Bakou County...”

With the second-hand intelligence reported by Wang Xin, Zhang Xiaoqiang learned that the thriving area around Bayannaol City, previously considered a restricted area by the Wolf Flag Army, was not a restricted area for humans. There, survivors carved out an underground Great Wall, which connects to the underground sewer in Bayannaol City, and through the sewer, they searched for materials and survivors inside the city.

Prior to the third heavy rain, there were nearly 70,000 survivors in the underground Wall, and the size of the underground Wall reached more than 30 square kilometres, a miracle created by survivors after the end of their lives.

Before the end of their lives, the surrounding area of Bayannaur city had been fully reclaimed and had a reputation for plugging grain bins, so the food was not strained. In the last century, that is, in 2013, survivors, led by experienced miner survivors, emptied all grain bins in the surrounding area, stored underground, cooked with coal as fuel, and built a huge underground city using perfect smoke vents.

Underground, people don't have to be afraid of zombies, they don't have to be afraid of starving to death, and from time to time they can pick up some initial mutant fish and shrimp from the underground rivers to supplement their meat, even opening underground farms at their peak.

It was all organized by the survivors themselves, no government, no military figure, only the survivors' consciousness, who were regrouped according to their respective towns and elected the most capable persons to represent them, to serve their interests and even to organize an army of tens of thousands of people according to the size of their respective towns.

Survivors have endured two years of suffering, and humans who can no longer stay underground expect to return to the ground. Heavy rains are destroying everything, entering the water underground, drying fewer and fewer places, more and more tunnels are flooded, and hundreds more survivors are inundated.

After the heavy rain, they suddenly discovered that tens of thousands of troops had vanished, 70,000 survivors had lost 20,000, food and other materials had lost 90 percent, the days had hardened, heavy rain had stopped, the underground city had been blistered with hundreds of millions of tons of water, all the objections to returning to the ground had disappeared, and the survivors had to go to the ground and struggle with the carcasses.

In this situation, the more people gather, the more food and goods they need, the more differences inevitably arise, a small force emerges as a springboard after the rain, and countless survivors are struggling and disappearing into the cruel competition of the last generation.

Those killed by their own kind, those eaten by zombies, or those who can't stand suffering to commit suicide, all survivors are fighting for survival, for survival space.

Compared to the chaos that has been going on elsewhere for two years, the chaos in the city of Bayannaur has only just begun and the loss is not serious, and because after the third rainfall, large areas of good land are always able to grow some wild crops, the food shortage is not too serious, the only lack is safe shelter and all kinds of living materials.

Some do not want to suffer in this environment of fighting with the zombies, leaving far away to be the lucky ones found by the Northern Line squads, others do not have the courage to leave, have to live like dogs under the same kind of oppression, under the threat of the zombies.

The survivor's information is good news for Zhang Xiaoqiang. He is not bad for the goods and food. He is bad for the population. The more cities recover, the thinner the population appears. To this end, Zhang Xiaoqiang has abandoned a city...
