Doomsday rat

Of course, this statement was put forward by Hong Tao himself, but Zhang Ke also agreed.After hearing Wang Gang and Benzhu's arrangement, he not only readily agreed, but also set up his headquarters together, which shows that Hong Tao's location is very critical.

"Gangzi, you continue to stay at the forward base to coordinate and command, and I will go with the company. Be careful, don't talk too much about our affairs with this chief of staff, and talk more than your head!"

But this is not good news for Hong Tao, the place where the headquarters is located must be far away, so Wang Gang has to hand over the easy work of commanding, and go to the front line to suffer!

Compared with the clean-up operation in the first phase, the tasks in this phase are obviously much heavier, mainly because the population density is high, and the corresponding zombie density is also high, the buildings are next to each other, and the neighborhood is adjacent to the neighborhood, so don't pay attention You have to be surrounded.

How did the army lure the zombies away?Very simple and very original.They assigned a limited number of cavalry to each platoon, and then used the platoon as a unit to let soldiers ride horses into the community to wander around.

First lure the zombies strolling outside to the intersection you found beforehand, and then lure more zombies nearby through gunfire, gather a certain number, and lead the cavalry to gather by the reservoir.

Easier said than done.The first is the problem of falling from high altitudes. Zombies are not afraid of death at all, and I am afraid they have no concept of death.They may only have three things in their life.First, do everything possible to find a new host for the virus; second, take time to bask in the sun; third, don’t go into the water!

As long as human activities are discovered, these guys will jump down from dozens of floors without thinking about their own safety, even if none of them succeed, they will continue to move forward.In the narrow community, zombies fell from the sky, causing great trouble to the cavalry.

The second is the overall situation and planning. The cavalry responsible for luring the zombies will carry a mobile phone and earphones, and communicate with the drone operator through the radio at any time to determine the changes in the number of zombies around, and then decide how to get in and how to get out.

Once a mistake is made, or the cavalry is about to be surrounded, the security forces can only rush forward and use bullets to open a way out to rescue the cavalry.This requires not only tacit cooperation, but also a strong ability to withstand pressure, and not to panic when things happen.

Groups of zombies must have been drawn in. The soldiers in charge must plan the way in and out in advance, and communicate accurately with the cavalry, otherwise it would be a tragedy.

Finally, there are cavalry skills and horse adaptability issues. Riding a horse in the city streets is very different from that in grasslands, mountains, and forests.In addition, it is best to blindfold the horse's eyes to prevent it from being startled. As a result, the horse is completely controlled by the rider.

To be honest, the soldiers are very brave, and most of them regard fighting zombies as their job. Apart from complaining about food and weather problems, they basically have no negative emotions, and they have qualified experience and ability in dealing with zombies.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory.No matter how well prepared he was, he couldn't stop this guy from appearing unexpectedly.In just one morning, four soldiers from the 2nd Battalion led by Zhang Ke disappeared forever.

One of them was directly hit by a zombie that descended from the sky, and the other two were attacked by a blue devil hiding in the community.In order to exterminate this guy, another life was taken.

Gold and iron horses go, horse leather shrouds return!Since ancient times, it has been the norm for good men to die on the battlefield, and they will be praised in poems by literati and poets from time to time.I don't know if these soldiers who used their lives to protect the same kind from the harm of the other kind will also be able to enjoy this kind of treatment in the future.

But their current treatment is really not as good as that of their ancestors. They don't even have horse leather, or even ashes.

There were casualties, and the drivers of the transport team finally woke up from the blind optimism of the previous two days, but they went to another extreme, and began to hesitate and fear of approaching the front line.

"Are you willing to help the soldiers?" Hong Tao saw it, depressed in his heart.

It is not good to be too optimistic, but it is more troublesome to be in a state of panic all the time, and it is easy to lose everything.How to do it?Reasoning alone is obviously not going to work, so he decided to take a practical action to show everyone that zombies are not scary!

"How can you help?" Ben Zhu was one of the few drivers who was calm, and this little casualty was nothing to him.

"Find four horses, remove the horseshoes, come with me as bait, let them see what riding is!" Apart from worrying about the coachman's mental state, Hong Tao didn't want the soldier to die again.

Soldiers can basically ride horses, but few can be called good at riding.When two skilled cavalrymen were attacked and killed by the blue devil, the two soldiers who replaced them were really worrying about their riding skills.

After getting on the horse, he grasped the rein tightly with both hands, his whole body tensed up, looking around for the zombies, and was almost swept off the horse by a branch.If things go on like this, there is no need to wait for the Blue Devil to appear, and there will be a tragedy if there is a slight terrain obstacle.

Chapter 827

Bungy Pig was very satisfied with this proposal, and quickly prepared four horses, and then took off all the horseshoes with pliers.Ever since I left Xinjiang, I can hardly find the feeling of galloping on horseback.If you ride a horse and herd every day, it is a hard job, but if you come here once in a while, it will be a pleasure.

"Wait, I'll dress up, and it's very important to have a good appearance!" Hong Tao was not idle either. He found a black cloth to cover his upper body, covered his head, and tied it with a rope, much like the Middle East in the movie. Horse bandits in the area.

"...What's the point?" Bungy intends to believe it, but he has to ask clearly, and if necessary, he has to get dressed himself.

"A piece of cloth on top of the head, if it's not the richest man, it's scary... Hehehe!" It's a pity that he guessed wrong this time, Hong Tao opened his big mouth and exposed his teeth, proving with a cheap smile that this outfit has no practicality other than spoofing .

"Fuck! Let's separate, let's see who attracts more!" Seeing the teasing eyes of the coachman next to him, Bungy got very angry. He took two steps, jumped onto the horse in a very chic posture, and gave Hong Tao a middle finger. Wait for the order and walk away.

"Okay... oh!" The coachman was also very cooperative and gave warm applause.Experts can tell if there is one as soon as they stretch out their hands. Everyone has been dealing with horses all year round. You don't need to show too much, just look at the posture of getting on the horse to know the depth.

"Go..." Hong Tao couldn't hide his clumsiness at this time, he had to be smarter than Stupid Pig.He got on the horse in a very special way. He didn't grab the reins or step on the pedals. He slapped the horse's butt first. After the horse started to trot, he strode up to catch up. He jumped on one leg and landed on the horse's back out of thin air.

"Okay... oh... papa papa!" This gesture was obviously more advanced than Bungy's, which aroused applause from the coachman, and even the soldiers next to him clapped their hands.

"He's a shepherd, he can train horses, that's great!" Not only was there applause and applause, but one of the coachmen from Xinjiang Province was very knowledgeable and gave a very professional comment in half-baked Chinese.

This action is indeed not necessary for ordinary horsemen, and even ordinary shepherds rarely use it. It is only used when training untamed horses. It is a very deep unpopular skill.

At this time, the horses had no reins or saddles, they were completely bare, and they were not suitable for human riding, so they could only sprint up on the horse's back, grab the mane with both hands, clamp the horse's belly with both legs, and lean on the human body Balance and core strength, and finding a way to make the horse suffer enough to throw in the towel before being thrown off.

Hong Tao can not only run on the horse, but also jump off the horse without falling when the horse slows down slightly.In the words of Crimea, this is a natural shepherd, and he learns very quickly whether driving sheep, taming horses, or delivering ewes and mares.

It's a pity that he didn't know that the soul of this Han family brother had been hidden in his body for several lifetimes. He was no stranger to horse riding and training.

With the addition of Hong Tao and Benzhu, the company's action of luring the zombie group became easy and freehand.These two seem to have grown up with the horse's back, and they can walk as they want. They don't need to spend most of their energy on controlling the horse, but free up their eyes and ears to search for all potential dangers around them, and they can make predictions in advance. .

In this way, you don't have to worry too much about being surrounded, you can walk around the community several times in one breath, let the scattered zombie groups gather as much as possible, and then take them away at a controlled speed.

There is no need for the security forces to dispatch when a few zombies block the way. They can control the horses to jump high and pass over the zombies, or simply rush up, kick the sporadic zombies away accurately with the horse's legs, and then step on them heavily. If you don't die, you have to be half disabled.

In less than two hours, the People's Hospital, the Public Security Bureau, the court, and the nearby neighborhoods completed preliminary cleaning, and the troops and coachmen began to enter the buildings and conduct house-to-house searches.According to the plan, this is a morning's workload.

"Papa... Blue Devil! Blue Devil! Run, Blue Devil..." But it took a long time for Hong Tao to rest and run again in the afternoon. The sound and the piercing cry of the stupid pig.

This black fat man was more radical than Hong Tao, and he was not satisfied with the workload in the morning, so he planned to go through the entire community south of the court at one go.As a result, the lure of the zombie group went smoothly, but a vigorous blue-purple figure ran out halfway, which frightened him to turn his horse's head and run away, turning his head and shooting while running.

Seeing the striding meteor chasing the vigorous figure less than 50 meters behind, the coachmen immediately panicked and grabbed their weapons to find cover.In a hurry, someone actually dropped the magazine on the ground.

"Fuck! Don't panic, put down the gun... go and get the rope net ready! You must remember, wait for me to go over and then pull, not too early, just tighten it as usual in training, nothing will happen!"

Seeing this, Hong Tao could only get on his horse again, and had to ask the coachmen to put down their weapons before leaving.The biggest threat now is not the blue devil, but the guns in the hands of the coachmen. If that thing trembles, his soul may return to the sky.

On the broad street, one person, one horse, and one blue devil sprinted northward. When Bungy saw Hong Tao galloping towards him, he immediately slowed down his horse, not intending to get rid of the blue devil's pursuit, but to serve as a bait .

"Steady...stabilize..." Hong Tao only ran to the crossroads and stopped. He reached out and took off the KS23 shotgun on his back. Raising the gun to aim, he waited for Bungy to run past before pulling the trigger.

"Bang...!" A tongue of flame more than one meter long spewed out from the barrel of the 23mm caliber gun, and more than 4 lead shot in the No. The devil slammed into his chest, and at the same time relied on the huge inertia to penetrate into the body, and transmitted all the kinetic energy.

"Xiaoliu..." At the same time, the horse under the crotch was kicked wildly by the gunshots, screaming wildly.It had heard gunshots, but not so loud at such close range, and was a little startled.

Hong Tao was also uncomfortable. The large-caliber barrel can indeed bring large-caliber ammunition and huge damage, but the recoil is also huge.Rather than jumping off the horse's back, it was better to say that he was pushed off by the recoil. After landing, he rolled backwards to stop his figure.

"Crack... bang..." But he didn't hesitate at all. Before standing up, he loaded the shotgun, trotted forward a few steps, and raised the gun to aim again at a place about ten meters away from the blue devil. Changed his head, and there was another loud bang.

"Crack... Bah! All your relatives were taken away by me to exchange money. Before you go out, ask who is outside, so as not to cause trouble for everyone!"

This time Hong Tao didn't fall down, he just moved his shoulders with a grin.Then his mouth stopped being idle, and he taunted the blue devil lying motionless on the ground to his heart's content.

Whenever his mouth starts to move, the danger is basically gone.It was the same this time, the blue devil lost half of his head, and he was completely dead.But even so, Hong Tao still dared to approach after another bullet was loaded.

How powerful is the No. 4 buckshot?If it is hit on a person, it will be smashed no matter where it is, and even the muscles and bones will be turned into slag.What about the power of the No. 4 slug?

According to the official records of the North American Rifle Association, in 1910, a hunter shot a bison 4 meters away with a No. 400 slug, directly through the body, and penetrated!

Since 1920, the United States has banned the use of deer bullets and slugs larger than 8 gauge for hunting. Those things are too powerful and dangerous, and they are seriously overkill and unnecessary.

His gun can only hold a total of 4 rounds of bullets, which are divided into two types of bullets.The first and third rounds were No. 4 buckshot, and each bullet contained 20 lead pellets less than 2 mm in diameter.The second and fourth rounds are also No. 4 shotguns, but there is only one slug inside, which is specially processed by Fat Sheep. The outside is wrapped in lead skin and the inside is a steel core.

This is specially used to deal with blue devils. Their bodies are too tough. No. 4 deer bullets can't completely tear the skin or muscles, let alone hurt the bones, but only leave a few small holes.

However, the coverage area of ​​deer bullets is much larger than that of slug bullets. You don’t need to aim too carefully at tens of meters away, and you can almost hit the target. It is especially suitable for shooting moving targets. As long as it hits the impact force, it will not be small.

Chapter 828

Hong Tao wanted to use the powerful kinetic energy of the deer bullets to neutralize the agility of the blue devils first, even if they could only be stopped for a few seconds, the second slug would hit the vital parts more easily.To destroy their skulls and cervical vertebrae, high-caliber slugs must be used.

If it weren't for the abnormal guns they left behind, it would be a big problem to find a suitable caliber for reloading.This Nima is not a gun at all, but a simplified version of a small cannon!

"The last wave, and then have lunch!" Facing the cheers and praises from the coachman and soldiers, Hong Tao just waved his hands, turned around, climbed on his horse, and ran towards the neighborhood where the blue devil was found.

"Brother Mouse, what's the matter?" Bumblebee caught up after a while, and he understood that the hero didn't mean to be cool, but something really happened.

"Did you notice just now that the blue devil is followed by two wild dogs?" Hong Tao reached into his arms and took out the hot sight without looking back.

"...It seems to be there, I didn't bother to look at it..." Bungy recalled it carefully, and he did have a little impression, but he was not sure!

"You don't know much about zombies. They really don't eat animals, and they don't even chase animals, but animals are also instinctively unwilling to approach them. Wild dog groups basically appear on the fringes of cities. In addition to hunting other animals Small animals have food to eat, also because there are few zombies there.

It's not normal for two lonely wild dogs to appear in an abandoned city and get together with zombies.Let's search first to see if there is a group of small wild dogs here.If there is, I am suspicious, if not... things will be a little troublesome! "

Bungy's reaction was reasonable, he was not a gold digger, he didn't have many opportunities to get close to zombies, and there was no need to carefully study the behavior of zombies.

But Hong Tao had to have studied it, even more deeply than the gold diggers, so he could keenly discover this seemingly common anomaly.But he didn't make a decision right away. After all, there are other possibilities, and the next step is to verify it.

"Brother Mouse, come and have a look!" Benzhu called from the mobile platform in less than 10 minutes, and he should have found a clue.

"You guessed it right, there are indeed wild dogs!" What Bungy found was a pile of dog shit, right at the entrance of the building.

"... Can you recognize what kind of animal hair this is?" In Hong Tao's eyes, this piece of dog shit seemed to have turned into a chocolate cake, and it was still stuffed.

I saw him squatting down, holding a small twig in one hand, forking it...cutting it open...pulling at the somewhat hard outer skin, fiddled with the soft inner core, and almost put a piece into his mouth to taste.

"Uh...it's so long, it shouldn't kill small animals like mice, and it's not like foxes and sheep. It's too thick...I think it should be pig hair, wild boar!"

Although Bungy doesn't have much research on zombies, he is definitely a carnivore, and he is best at grilling all kinds of game.I squatted down and looked at the handful of hairs pulled out of the dog poop, took out the water bottle and rinsed it, and quickly came to a conclusion, which was quite certain.

"Look, there's still..." Hong Tao thoughtfully got up and walked into the corridor, and soon found a few puddles of shit.I stepped on it with the sole of my shoe, roughly judging the time from the hardness.After crushing it vigorously, an undigested and complete substance similar to pig hair was found inside.

"It looks like this is a kennel, and I won't be here for a short time... Brother Shu, the zombies in this neighborhood haven't been completely lured away, so don't go in there anymore!"

Bungy followed and stomped, confirming Hong Tao's guess.But he didn't want to go deep into the residential building anymore, for fear of being blocked by zombies from the outside, it was not worth sacrificing to study shit.

"Well, let's work. After lunch, you take your brothers to clean up these buildings first, pay attention to the distribution of dog poop, judge how many wild dogs have lived here, and then tell me!"

Looking up at the gloomy stairs, Hong Tao turned from the kindness and walked out of the door.But he still didn't give up his research on shit, he just handed over the subject to Bungy Pig.

In the afternoon, Hong Tao reneged on his promise. Instead of riding a horse to seduce the zombies, he lay down on the carriage alone and wrote and drew on the map, and occasionally picked up his mobile phone to talk to the drivers at other supply points.There are basically three topics of inquiry, the number of zombies, the number of blue devils, and whether zombies and wild dogs are found together!

"Brother Zhou, today you and Brother Zhong have made us proud. This matter has already reached the ears of Chief of Staff Zhang and the Battalion Commander. They were going to come over to toast in person, but Commander Yang pressed him so hard that we must In the past meeting, I specially approved a few bottles of wine, let me come back to toast you!"

While eating dinner, Wang Gang came rushing over from the west on a horse. In addition to four bottles of high-grade liquor, he also brought cordial greetings and encouragement from the leader, with a smile on his skin.

"Do you know why Commander Yang is urging things?"

Hong Tao was sitting in the compartment eating and studying the data in his notebook. These were recorded by the drivers when they cleaned up the residential buildings in the afternoon.Of course, no one would pay attention to these things if he didn't ask for it.

"Uh... I heard Chief of Staff Zhang tell the station to slow down their progress temporarily, as if they thought they were going too fast... The chief of staff is nice, but he is a little young and inexperienced. Zombies are not human, why? It may be calculated where there is more and where is less.

It's not good if the progress is too fast. Set aside a few more days to search those factories and residential buildings carefully. The soldiers and us can make a lot of money.Alas, there are too few carriages. If you knew it was so simple, you should bring more carriages.At home, 50 cars should be enough, once a year, what a pity...

Brother Shu, let Brother Hu find Feihu Sun and Mrs. Xiushan after we go back, can we use their relationship to mention it to the military, how about we come next year?This quota is not in vain. It can at least double the amount of goods handed over to the government, and still make a profit, a lot of money! "

Wang Gang really knew what was wrong with Yang Ming, but he didn't care about it at all, he was thinking about which goods to bring back and which ones to keep first.

No way, there are too many good things and too few carriages. Even if the passing threshold is raised again and again, the goods I want to bring back still exceed the loading capacity.Seeing so many good things that can be exchanged for money slip away from his hand, his heart is bleeding!

"Gangzi, do you know who you look like now?" Hong Tao put down the lunch box, wiped his hands on his sleeves, took out a cigarette and lit it, squinted his eyes, and tilted his head to look at Wang Gang.

"...Like my old uncle? No way, he has never seen such a fat job. If you want to say that Brother Hu has a good eye, he made the decision on the spot. If it was my old uncle, he might have to calculate again How long will it take, and if the result is not complete, it will be cheaper for those bastards!"

Looking at this expression, Wang Gang knew that there was nothing good to say next.But he is not Populus euphratica, nor is he a stupid pig. He lacks the necessary understanding of this mysterious old man who is always hiding his head and shrinking his head, and he doesn't have much fear. It's not an exaggeration to use Tong Limin to cover it up, and it's not an exaggeration to say that Sang and Huai are scolded.

"You are no different from Sun Changzhong now. You forget righteousness when you see profit, and your eyes are full of money. Let me ask you, if we double the share turned over to the alliance, what if Sun Changzhong doubles and a half or triples? In the end, no one will be able to win the fight. They are as tired as the grandson, and the government is all taken advantage of.

It is easy to increase the tax payment amount, but it is basically impossible to reduce it.This is not making money, it is digging a hole for yourself and all the drivers.It is to take the initiative to remind the government and tell them that the freight rates of the drivers can be lower, and it is best to let the two companies compete with each other on price, and whoever wants the less wages will give the work to whomever.

In the short term, we may take advantage of it, defeat Sun Changzhong through cost control, and take the lead in market share.But in the long run, it is a very bad way. Doing that is tantamount to treating us all as donkeys. We have to wander around the millstone all day long, and we can't relax at all until we are exhausted! "

Hong Tao originally didn't want to discuss the company's business philosophy with Wang Gang, and there was no time to talk about this kind of topic slowly.But the words have come to this point, and I have to say a few words while taking advantage of the enthusiasm.As the company's deputy manager, his ideas must be in line with the company's interests, otherwise irreconcilable conflicts will definitely arise after a long time.

Chapter 829 Hidden Worry 2

"Then, what if Sun Changzhong lowers the price first!?" Wang Gang is definitely not convinced, and the price war is not decided by Ping An alone.

"I will kill anyone who wants to fight a price war! The existence of this kind of person will not only hurt us, but also break the rules. Instead of killing competitors, we should find ways to make the cake bigger, strengthen the product, build a good reputation, and make the enterprise long-term.

Do everything possible to improve the market rules, create a good market environment, and attract more capital investment.Only those who want to use the monopoly to make a lot of money and run away will fish out regardless of the life and death of the industry.

Doing business is not a zero-sum game, and only by maintaining the market rules can we benefit.If you break the rules, today your relationship is hard to eat others, and tomorrow there will be a relationship that is still hard to jump out and eat you.Anyone can come in and mix things up at will, and we will be the ones who will suffer at that time. "

On the issue of how to prevent others from engaging in price wars, Hong Tao didn't have a perfect solution, so he could only be an asshole.I set the rules, if you don't abide by them, I'll kill you, no competition at all.Commercial competition must delimit a scope and use the same rules, otherwise there will be no competition, and it is more appropriate to call it competition.

"... Then it will work... But we don't pay more members, will we still have the turn next year?" Wang Gang was still not persuaded, or he didn't understand the game of business at all.But thinking about the grenade, and the rumored Youlong company extermination case, it would be wise to take it orally first.

"You don't have to wait until next year, Sun Changzhong will have to initiate negotiations when he returns this time, and the annual southward mission will also be used as a negotiation condition. Not only are we not allowed to fight price wars, he is also not allowed, otherwise there will be no negotiation.

But what I want to talk about is not this matter. We have to go back alive to fight a price war.Now there is a small problem, if it is not resolved, there will be no price war or price war, and there will be no clean-up action next year, I am afraid that none of us and them will be able to go back! "

Whether he was convinced or oral, Hong Tao didn't want to talk about this issue any longer.At present, there is a more difficult problem that Wang Gang needs to solve. Yes, it is him, and he can only hide his ideas behind his back.

"...What, what's the matter again!" This time Wang Gang understood, and temporarily put down all the little books in his mind, and listened hard with his ears.

"I asked the coachmen to make a general statistics in the afternoon, and found a big problem. The number of zombies is wrong! Don't interrupt, just listen to me. The size and population of this city are realistic. The military also said that they didn't find any. It has been haunted by other survivors, which means it has not been cleaned up.

But here comes the question, no one has cleaned up why the number of zombies is so small?I roughly did the math, and it wasn't just a little bit less, but more than ten times less.Do you know what that means?If the cleanup continues according to this trend, it is likely to suddenly face hundreds of thousands of zombies in a certain corner of the city.

Don't stare, I'm just assuming that the current statistics are too few to tell the story, but enough to warrant our attention.Oh, no, it's useless for us to pay attention to it, the officials must pay attention to it.

Just right, aren't you familiar with Chief of Staff Zhang?Go ahead, make a copy of these, and show it to him when he comes back. It would be best to ask Commander Yang about the number of cleanups and the specific location. Compare the two sides, and it will be clear at a glance whether there are any problems. "

Hong Tao tore off two sheets of paper from his notebook and handed them to Wang Gang. On them were the number of zombies lured away in the morning and the number of zombies cleared out in the afternoon.Although there are only five communities and they haven't been cleaned up yet, as long as your eyes are not blind, your mind is not confused, and your mind is not crooked, you will definitely notice problems.
