Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 194

Lin Cheng wiped the console of DF11. It has worked hard for so many days, so it has to be handled carefully.

A railroad track extends eastward from under the wheels, disappearing as far as the eye can see.

This is a two-track railway, starting from Shuocheng in the inland Xishan Province in the west, and going straight to Huanghua Port in the Bohai Sea in the east, mainly for coal transportation.

Lin Cheng is 38 years old this year. He is a train driver who drives freight vehicles full-time. The main route he runs is the Shuohuang Line.

Being a train driver is quite a tough job. Although the salary is not bad, he often works night shifts and needs to stay up late, especially freight drivers, who are almost all night owls.

Lin Cheng has been driving a train for some years. In recent years, his physical condition has been worse than before. The hair on his head is getting less and less, but the fat on his body is getting more and more. His immunity is weak, his resistance is weak, and he is prone to colds. There is also high blood pressure, which is a falling occupational disease.

In his words, this is using your health to make money.

He just made up his mind this year, and wanted to find a relationship to clear up and change to a job with a normal schedule. Unexpectedly, before the job was changed, the end of the world came.

The sudden mutation of zombies and the invasion of extreme beasts threw the whole world into chaos. The traffic in the city was completely paralyzed, the highways were also stopped, there were no ships in the port, and there were no shadows of planes in the sky, but the railway he usually ran on The line is intact.

On the night when the end of the world came, he happened to be on the night shift and drove a 56-carriage truck from Shuocheng to Huanghua Port. Most of the cargo on the truck was coal, and a small half was daily industrial products.

He arrived at Huanghua Port in the middle of the night, and found that most of the people in the station had turned into zombies, and the dazzling aurora seemed unusual. After checking the Internet, he found out that the whole world had changed.

He ran to hide in a box car for the night, and the next morning he was so hungry that he bravely came out.

There were not many people on duty at Huanghuagang Station at night, so there were naturally not many zombies. Lin Cheng found a big wrench and rushed into the cafeteria. In order to survive, he knocked down a zombie blocking the way.

After having a full meal in the cafeteria, he felt that staying in the cafeteria was very risky, and it was better to hide in the car for safety.

So he tossed and turned more than ten times, and put all the materials that could be taken away from the cafeteria into the boxcar. During the period, he was discovered by two zombies and forced to fight with them. With what he learned in the movie, he smashed them without any risk. head.

He found that although human beings became zombies, although their strength increased, their speed was a little slower, and their heads were very dull. It would not be a big problem to deal with them one by one carefully. The main reason was that they became more courageous after being forced to kill three.

So he searched for food and water in the station, focusing on the China Railway Apartment on the north side of the station and the small supermarket under the dormitory on the south side.

And the arrival of the polar beast frightened him back.

He saw with his own eyes those terrifying monsters coming out of the black hole and falling into the new area south of Huanghuagang Station.

The Huanghua New District is not big, and the population is not very large. The permanent population is less than [-]. Most of the residents are people working in ports, railways and other departments. However, there are six or seven cats in the urban area of ​​only five or six square kilometers. polar beast.

The key point is that Huanghuagang Station is just to the north of the new district, less than one kilometer away from the nearest Xingyuan Community, which is just two steps away for Ji Beast.

When he stood on the roof of the sixth-floor dormitory and saw a beast overturned three cars, bit off the head of a middle-aged man who was running away, and ate three zombies, Lin Cheng immediately shrugged.

He hurried back to the boxcar, closed the door and never dared to get out again. He stayed in the car with food and lodging, leaving only one window for ventilation.

But Lin Cheng only stayed in the car for three days before he had to come out to look for food again. He started his evolution, and under anxiety and panic, he always wanted to eat. The food he consumed every day was astonishing, and the things he had stored were quickly eaten up. .

He carefully searched a small convenience store, stayed in the car for another two days, and completed the first evolution.

The first ability he acquired was the poison gas bomb, which wraps the poison gas in an energy jacket, and it bursts when it hits an object. Anyone who smells it within the range of the poison gas will fall down. Moreover, the power of the gas bomb can be controlled, and the maximum range can reach two meters.

Ever since he knew that he had acquired the ability, Lin Cheng first tested it with the zombies in the station. The smallest powerful poison gas bomb the size of a ping pong ball burst into a sphere with a diameter of [-] centimeters, which could poison a zombie to death.

There is no doubt about the power of poison gas bombs, but unfortunately there are two disadvantages. One is that the more powerful it is, the longer it takes to activate the ability. The other is that the number of times of use is limited, and it cannot be used when the energy in the body is exhausted.

Lin Cheng became courageous again. In order to fill his stomach, he kept looking for food in the new area. As the range of activities became larger and larger, he was surprised to find that the few polar beasts seemed to have disappeared.

While loading and picking up food in a Sailor's Home supermarket, Lin Cheng met six or seven survivors. The other party bullied him because of the large number of people.

Lin Cheng, who has always been honest, suddenly erupted. In desperation, he activated his ability and created the most powerful gas bomb. The three-meter range of action killed all six people in the light yellow gas, and they had to hide behind. One of the women survived, collapsing in fright.

After killing someone, Lin Cheng felt a burst of fear and panic. He wanted to run away quickly, but he was reluctant to part with the food in the supermarket. It wasn't until the woman on the ground begged him not to kill her, but to let her do whatever he wanted, that he realized that the times had passed. It's different, this is the end of the world where whoever has the bigger fist has the final say, killing people is nothing.

Lin Cheng didn't kill the woman, but took her back to the station and put her in another boxcar, asking her to help find food and cook.

All of a sudden he was enlightened, he had evolved, he was capable, and he was stronger than others, why didn't he find more people to be his subordinates and help him work?
Since he started the evolution, he has really felt the changes in his body. His physical fitness has been gradually enhanced. The most obvious point is that all the fat on his body has turned into muscles, and his strength is gradually increasing.

There were no extreme beasts in the new area, only zombies scattered everywhere, and Lin Cheng's ability could kill zombies instantly, so he became more daring.

Soon he gathered around 30 to [-] people, initially forming a small force based on Huanghua Station, and he quickly enjoyed the benefits of strength.

Someone went out to collect supplies, someone cooked and cleaned, and someone even quietly knocked on the iron door of the boxcar where he lived after dark, and someone wanted to take his place.

Lin Cheng killed two people who wanted to rebel, and led his men to clean up a small group of zombies, further demonstrating his muscles and establishing his authority.

He also didn't make any fuss about the food distribution. Compared with the food his subordinates found, they didn't consume much to fill their stomachs.

Lin Cheng had time and began to tinker with the trains at the station.

The original electric locomotive was useless, but fortunately there was still a diesel locomotive DF11 in the station, which was usually used for shunting locomotives, and it just came in handy at this time.

He hung several boxcars behind the locomotive to form a small-scale freight train, preparing to collect supplies along the railway line.

Lin Cheng is quite far-sighted. He knows that the materials in the new area will be collected sooner or later, and he also knows that the materials in the end times will definitely become less and less.

After the train was ready, he often took his men out to collect supplies.

During this period, I accidentally encountered a polar beast and died under the most powerful poisonous gas in Lincheng. This made the subordinates have a new understanding of his strength. The second level, the second ability obtained is the overall improvement of physical fitness.

At the same time, the team also ushered in a second growth, with more than 40 survivors joining, including four first-order evolutionaries.

Lincheng's special train for collecting materials went further and further, from the first few kilometers to more than ten kilometers, and now it has reached more than 50 kilometers away, approaching the edge of Huanghua City.

They collected more and more materials, and they all arrived at Huanghuagang Station, filled with eleven boxcar wagons.

As the number of outings increased, the number of times Lincheng's team encountered extreme beasts also increased, especially the closer to Huanghua City, the more frequent extreme beasts appeared.

When encountering extreme beasts, Lin Cheng's principle is very simple. Those who are alone must find a way to kill them. After all, if there is one less, it will be convenient for future actions. If there are too many beasts, don't meet them face to face, just run away.

In fact, it is not a big problem to deal with six or seven extreme beasts as long as you are overbearing with poisonous gas bombs. However, Lin Cheng has always acted cautiously, and he will not take risks if he is not fully sure. fear.

After all, there are still few people in the team who can deal with the extreme beast alone. Apart from him, there is only one speed evolutionist who can restrain it. In addition, there is no suitable weapon.

There are seven or eight pistols and three submachine guns in the team, which were obtained after a lot of effort from the new area, but the bullets are pitifully scarce, and these weapons are useless against extreme beasts, they can only be used to defend against people.

In order to find out the weakness of the extreme beasts and find a way to deal with them, Lin Cheng made great efforts to bring back the two corpses of the extreme beasts. With the collective efforts of everyone, he really researched something.

The first value to be unearthed is the scale armor. A machining technician drilled holes in it and made it into armor. Wearing it on the body can play a good protective role. At least zombies and bullets can't do anything to it, but It's useless against extreme beasts, this is a conclusion drawn from a human life.

In addition, they attached the scale armor to the iron plate to make a rectangular shield, and the defensive effect is also good.

Then they put their minds on the spiny fins. Needless to say, the sharpness of the spiny fins, but because of this, processing the spiny fins is a big trouble.

But this didn't bother them. They tried to embed the spiny fins into the steel pipes to make a weapon like a mace. Although it looked weird, it was really easy to use. The key was that it could be used to deal with polar beasts.

With the weapon at hand, Lin Cheng led his men to dispatch more frequently.

Recently, he took a fancy to a flour mill, which was provided by an informed subordinate. He had worked in this mill before, and said that there are usually hundreds of tons of flour in stock. If he can get it, he will not need it within two or three years. No more worrying about food.

The big guys were shocked when they heard this, and soon conducted several reconnaissances on the flour mill, and found that the biggest problem they faced was the polar beast if they wanted to evacuate it.

There are often winged beasts hovering over the flour mill, and there are quite a few of them, at least there must be more than 20 of them. These guys have too poisonous eyes, and it is almost impossible to make small movements under their noses.

Lin Cheng flinched a little. The risk of smuggling flour was too great. Once the winged beasts targeted him, the car might crash and people would die. But he was really unwilling to give up. The benefits were too attractive.

Today, he drove a special train with more than 40 men to a place a few kilometers away from the flour mill. He parked the special train behind a distribution center, and sent five people to squat near the flour mill to try to find out the origin of the winged beast. Regular activities, while others collect useful supplies in the distribution center.

After working for a long time, the distribution center has been ransacked by them, but the five people have not come back yet, everyone has nothing to do, each climbed on the roof of the car in a daze, Lin Cheng checked the condition of the front of the internal combustion engine, and finally came to the driver room.

The locomotive is well maintained and will run for a few more years without any problem.

At this time, a masculine man's voice came from the walkie-talkie he was carrying: "Boss, we are going to go back."

This is Zhao Qinghe, the captain of the five-member team who went to guard the flour mill, a first-order evolutionary, whose ability is to increase speed.

"Have you gained anything?" Lin Cheng was anxious, but his voice was calm.

"There are no useful discoveries for the time being. Those flying monsters come and go very frequently and there is no pattern, but in general, the number of times they are seen in the afternoon is less than that in the morning. Head, why don't you observe for two more days?" Zhao Qinghe replied.

"Well, let's observe for another two days. There is no need to rush this matter. You should go back first." Although Lin Cheng was a little disappointed, he also knew that he should not be in a hurry. Safety is the most important thing.

Putting away the walkie-talkie, Lin Cheng got off the locomotive, and began to check the three boxcars hanging behind one by one, preparing to go back in a while.

As soon as he walked to the second carriage, he saw Xu Jing, who was in his 20s, lying on the roof and said, "Head, I found a fat sheep, how about I bring a few people to take it down?"

"Fat sheep? What fat sheep?" Lin Cheng didn't care about the so-called slang words of young people, and this Xu Jing liked to speak in this tone.

"An armored car drove over on the highway over there, with a machine gun mounted on the roof, head, let's go and rob it?" Xu Jing said excitedly.

Lin Cheng was taken aback: "Are you sure it's an armored vehicle? A soldier?"

"It's an armored car. I've seen this kind of car before. It's assigned to the special police." Xu Jing said with certainty, and handed him a telescope.

Lin Cheng took it and looked to the west, and sure enough, he saw a black armored vehicle on the highway more than 500 meters away, with a machine gun mounted on the roof.

The armored vehicle came to a slow stop on a small bridge not far from the railway, and the highway in front of it was blocked by dozens of vehicles, making it impossible to pass.

"Do you dare to snatch the armored vehicle?" Lin Cheng's expression darkened.

"Head, we have a lot of people and guns. We have armor and shields. They only have one car, seven or eight people at most, and your gas bombs to suppress the formation. Just grab it. With armored vehicles and machine guns, the flour mill can also It's easy to handle." Xu Jing wasn't blindly reckless, and his thoughts turned quickly.

Lin Cheng couldn't help being a little moved. One thing Xu Jing said was right. With armored vehicles and machine guns, the flour mill's confidence has indeed greatly increased.

However, robbing is the worst policy, and showing your muscles to subdue others without fighting is the best policy. You can negotiate with them amicably first.

"Xu Jing, gather people, bring all the guys, go and have a look."

"okay."
