The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

A group of people went downstairs and got into the car one after another, squeezed into the car and arrived at the gate of the barracks.The entrance of the barracks today looks much deserted than before the Spring Festival. Although there are still people and vehicles coming and going, there are not so many people wandering around that can be seen at a glance.

Luo Xun and the others entered the barracks after locking the car, while Li Tie and the others had already entered in advance.After walking into the small square at the gate of the barracks, the two found the military truck they usually took. When they passed by, they saw that the captain and the others had already arrived.

After seeing Luo Xun and the two, the captain greeted them and said, "They brought all the materials here yesterday afternoon, and everyone will be busy again today." He told everyone to get on the car first.

After climbing into the carriage, the captain took out three heavy bags and distributed them to the three metal abilities, and said with a slightly heavy expression: "Some people in our team already know about it, but I'd like to explain it to the comrades who don't know the situation first." The situation in the past few days." These words were obviously intended to be explained to Luo Xun and the other soldiers, and the other soldiers did not have any dissatisfaction or opinions, and they still listened seriously with a straight face.

"On the night of New Year's Eve, the number of zombies outside the base increased sharply, posing a great threat to the several monitoring points and guard buildings established outside our base. Only a small number of soldiers guarding several places outside the base that night retreated to the base in time. , A small number of soldiers withdrew to the guard building, and most of the remaining soldiers... all died." The captain's voice was a little heavy, and no one in the carriage made a sound except his voice.

Luo Xun looked at Yan Fei, and both of them thought of the sound of firecrackers on the night of Thirty.

"Since yesterday, the base has asked the earth-type superpowers to continue to heighten and thicken the outer wall, and build stairs leading to the top of the wall, and strive to build our wall into a large-scale ancient bunker that can be patrolled by soldiers. The fence. The team that went out to search for materials yesterday afternoon brought a large amount of metal materials, and we need to use those stairs and other things to build the outer metal fence from the inside of the fence.” The captain briefly introduced the situation and said that this task It is more difficult than before, because——"There are a lot of zombies surrounded this time, and now they are all blocked outside the wall, and there are still a steady stream of zombies rushing towards the base one after another, we can't go out of the city to build the wall , I can only climb up from the inside and find a way to deal with the outside wall.”

Although the base has thought of some methods and come up with some ideas, the specific arrangements for how to operate it will not be decided until the metal-type superhumans arrive.Otherwise, although the zombies still can't climb the three-meter-high metal wall, if they really evolve, it's like the slow and stiff zombies evolved into these flexible, faster, and stronger zombies today. How about becoming able to jump in like a zombie?Therefore, the wall is bound to continue to be built higher.

After everyone arrived at the designated location, when they got out of the car, they saw that the wall not far away was twice as high as before!Now the earth wall inside the outer wall is already six meters high!And it seems to have widened a lot, and a staircase was built at intervals.

Didn't know that all these things were made by earth-type supernatural beings working overtime?Or are ordinary people also involved?

The location where Luo Xun and the others parked is right inside the base gate of the newly built outer wall. There are a lot of various metal materials piled up inside the outer wall.

It seems that the military has brought all the materials from a nearby steel yard.

After looking at the stacked metal materials, a group of people slowly walked up to the newly repaired wall and looked outside, and saw one by one waving their teeth and claws in the direction of the clear and audible smell of human flesh coming from the top of the wall. Zombies with dark, withered arms and terrifyingly long nails.

"It's so far away... Can the supernatural power reach it?" Looking down, everyone couldn't care less about those ghost-like zombies waving their arms and howling like horrible ghosts in hell, trying to pull people into hell Everyone, a metal supernatural power asked with a headache looking at the metal wall that was quite far away.

Now the soil fence is twice as high as the metal fence, reaching about six meters. If you want to "glue" the metal to those positions with your hands... how will they get down?And I used to think that a wall of three meters was already very high, but now look at the positions of the zombies below and the top edge of those metal walls...they should be able to reach this distance in a single jump! !

This is not like building a fence when everyone stood on the edge of the fence and there were people outside to protect it. Now the metal fence allows everyone to stand on a short ten centimeters!You can only barely step on it, and if one loses its center of gravity, it will fall down!

The captain didn't expect the current situation to be so dangerous. What's even more troublesome is that the number of zombies below is far greater than their previous predictions.If they insisted on building a wall, how would they protect these supernatural beings?No wonder the earth-type supernatural beings worked overtime all day and night yesterday to build the fence. I'm afraid the base is also worried that those zombies will jump in from the three-meter-high fence, right?But you won’t repair it slowly at 1.1 meters, so that we also have a distance that we can reach!

"I'll go find someone to negotiate with." The captain thought for a while. The current situation is difficult for metal-type superpowers to operate. These superpowers, including earth-type supernatural powers, can only be used by touching substances with their hands. The ability to create a wall is different from those with fire, water, and wind abilities, but there is no way to throw a lump of soil and metal lumps with a wave of your hand!

Seeing that there were living people on this section of the fence, the zombies directly below waved their arms excitedly, screaming at the top and all surrounded them.Luo Xun and the others stood on the fence, looking at the dark zombies below, their heads hurting. Although the number is far from the level of zombies besieging the city, if they continue to gather slowly like this, it will sooner or later form a huge crowd. A terrifying scale!

But these days are the first month, and the outer wall has just been repaired. Many people are reluctant to go out to hunt zombies to find supplies.

Luo Xun suddenly raised his head and looked to the north of the new gate. The new gate was facing a road that existed before the end of the world. There were strange small buildings on the left and right of the intersection not far ahead.The building is very tall, but the cross-sectional area is only a little bit not too large, a bit like the simple watchtower that appeared in costume movies.

Of course, the function of this thing is somewhat similar to the archery tower. They are the guard towers mentioned by the captain just now.

But at this time, there are zombies wandering around on the main road outside, and there are many zombies around the guard building. They are tirelessly patting the walls of the small buildings. Above the roofs of those buildings—someone exist!

It was a little far away and Luo Xun couldn't see the situation above clearly, but there must be someone up there.It's just that they are probably soldiers who were blocked there and couldn't withdraw for a while.

At this moment, some ready-to-go soldiers had gathered behind the gate of the wall. Judging from their appearance, they should go out of the wall to rescue those people.

Not long after, the captain came back in a hurry, panting slightly and said to everyone: "It has been negotiated, the base will open the gate in a while to rescue those who have been trapped outside for the past two days, once the gate is opened, it will definitely attract some zombies At that time, we will give priority to focusing on the zombies below, and let the metal-type supernatural beings tie ropes on their bodies and go down to speed up the construction of the wall."

As he said that, he asked everyone to transport the metal materials to the city wall one by one, saving time for a while.

Luo Xun's complexion was a bit unsightly, so the ability user with only one rope on his body would be the most dangerous!It's fine if there is no other way at all, but it's not impossible to avoid this danger now.

Thinking about it, Luo Xun glanced under the wall, but there were no less than fifty or sixty zombies blocking the crowd right below them, and even if some of them would be attracted away after the city gate opened, it was definitely only a minority.In case a few of them were not lured away but launched a frenzied attack on the supernatural beings who were suspended by the rope, then how could the people standing on the city wall and helping to protect them react so quickly?And what if those ropes go wrong?

Thinking about it, Luo Xun suddenly turned around and walked up to the captain to make an opinion: "Captain, it's too dangerous to only let the supernatural beings hang on the rope."

After hearing Luo Xun's words, the captain saw that he certainly understood that he was worried about the safety of his "brother", but there was really no other way for the time being: "I just reported this matter to my superiors, but there is really no other way at present. , can only take advantage of the opportunity of opening the city gate, and repair as much as you can. Today the army will send people out to try to clean up the nearby zombies, and it is estimated that our actions will be much more convenient in a short time."

Of course, Luo Xun knew that the base would send people out to clean up the zombies, but the problem was that the zombies were constantly gathering here, and now the area covered by the outer wall was too large and stretched too long, and there was no way to cover all directions and all future zombies. Kill all the zombies outside the city wall.

Of course, if the survivors in the base are vigorously mobilized to go out to fight zombies, it may be possible to clear all the zombies outside the wall in just one day.But that's not realistic right now.

"There is another way, which is safer than hanging the three of them down with a rope."

The captain was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "What way?!"

"Look for cooperation with earth-type supernatural powers."

Luo Xun's suggestion is very simple, but it's just a little troublesome. His opinion is to let the earth-type superpowers open a "mouth" from the inside of the wall at the designated location, and let the metal-type superpowers build the outer metal wall through those gaps. .

But this requires the assistance of earth-type supernatural beings, and the original three-person division of labor has become three groups of people working together, and it is troublesome to tear down the walls that have already been built.

Although this is a more practical method, it can also ensure the safety of metal-type superhumans, but the problem is whether the manpower can be dispatched, and it is not convenient to find someone to cooperate.

The captain thought about it, and decided to apply to the leader out of the mentality of protecting his team members.It's a pity that the captain came back 10 minutes later in disgrace - he was scolded.

"The superior asked us to act according to the original plan." He sighed, and looked at Luo Xun with a trace of melancholy in his eyes, "The number of earth-type supernatural beings is not enough, and the number of crystal nuclei... is not too much .”

This part of the earth wall has already been built. If you dismantle it bit by bit according to Luo Xun's instructions, fix the outer metal wall and then seal it from the inside, it will be duplication of labor.

The superior disagreed, because the number of earth-type supernatural beings was not large enough to be so extravagantly assigned.Moreover, the number of crystal nuclei in the base is limited. They originally gave more points to the metal-type supernatural powers to support their work. Now they have so many crystal nuclei to do nothing and find excuses to ask others to cooperate with them... Although You metal-type supernatural powers are indeed very rare, but you can't waste resources like this, can you?

So the captain was scolded back.

The Wall Squad where the earth-type superpowers belong and the metal-type superpowers belong to different teams. They also have to compete for construction speed to complete the task as soon as possible. Who cares if the distance outside is enough?Can you climb down and fix the metal casing?And even if there is no metal shell, the defense of the earth system wall is not bad, the big deal is to build it thicker, wouldn't it be good?Is there any need to be so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The team leader didn't need to negotiate with the person in charge of the soil ability to guess what the other party would say to prevaricate himself.What's more, even my superiors disagree with my suggestion.

Yan Fei was discussing specific operations with two other metal-type superpowers for a while. When he came over, he heard the conversation between Luo Xun and the team leader and understood that he was worried about himself. He smiled and said to the team leader: "I There is a way to build the wall from the inside without the assistance of earth-type supernatural beings, and you don’t have to go down it yourself.”

"Oh?! What can I do!" The captain cheered up quickly, and looked at Yan Fei excitedly.

"Power conduction."

Yan Feigang had already communicated with those two metal-type abilities, and he also learned that they did not activate the ability to make metal float, although he didn't know that this was his own ability's unique effect?Or can it naturally have this floating effect after the metal ability is upgraded to an advanced level?But you can’t just rely on yourself to “float” on the wall when building a fence, and let the two people only be responsible for carrying and other sundries, right?

Not to mention whether doing so would be more eye-catching, so that someone would secretly take it to the laboratory to be dissected later, Yan Fei has a better way to let their three metal-type superpowers "remotely operate" the metal, through The effect of conduction is used to make the outer wall.

This is a special operation method he discovered when he used the steel bars in the concrete in the wall to strengthen things such as doors and windows at home.

From his personal operating experience, there will always be a rough range when manipulating metal in the air. This range is somewhat similar to long-range abilities such as fire elements. Zhang Su can control the range of the storm around him, Yan Fei also has such a range of operation.

When experimenting at home, he can roughly confirm that this range has a diameter of about ten meters away from him, which is similar to Zhang Su's operable range.Of course, the range of the metal arrows and other things he made is not controlled by this. It depends entirely on the strength of the mental power attached to it when he "launches" a long-range attack.

However, this effective operating range is not limited by another operation, which is "conduction".Using a piece of metal as a medium, attaching mental power to it can change the shape and appearance of the metal at the other end.

Not only can he do this, but the two metal supernatural beings can also do it.

Although I can't understand it, it seems to be very powerful - this is the unanimous thought in the hearts of all the soldiers who heard Yan Fei's explanation.

The captain was also confused. After all, he was not a supernatural being and couldn't understand the situation intuitively, so he chose the simplest and most direct way to prove it—"Can the two of you do it?"

The two metal-type superpowers nodded excitedly: "We experimented, and although it will be difficult if the distance is too far, it can definitely be done within three meters! It just takes more mental energy than usual. "

The captain waved his hand: "Don't worry about the crystal nucleus, we'll find a way to fight it back for you! Use as much as you want! Safety first!" This is his soldier, and he would never do it unless he had to. Sacrifice either!Even if it was an order from his superiors, even if the speed of building the wall was slower than that of the afternoon group, he would rather choose a safer method.

Yan Fei's idea is actually very simple in detail, that is to use a piece of metal as a "pen" and the metal door next to him as "ink", and use the same method as a [-]D graffiti pen to build what they want. .

And what could be simpler than making a big, dull iron wall?As long as the effect they make is as hard and smooth as the metal wall that is usually "pinched" by hand!

The two men followed Yan Fei's example and made a long thin iron rod out of metal, and then randomly grabbed a piece of metal around them and fused it with the iron rod. When the upper part was fused, the lower part would gradually merge with the lower metal. The walls meld together, thicken, enlarge.

Although this requires greater concentration of mental power, the two of them unexpectedly found that their mental power became clearer and more concise after each replenishment, and it became easier to operate—— Every inch of metal that can be felt can be "seen" clearly, and they will change according to their own ideas, which is more wonderful and free than when they were simply "pinched" by hand!

It didn’t take long for the three of them to devote themselves to work, and they didn’t need to take the risk of hanging down with a rope at all. They could build the outer wall by lying on the earth wall and “drawing” with metal little by little. Everyone was relieved Take a breath.

Taking advantage of Yan Fei's break in the middle, the captain said with a gratified smile, "How did you come up with this method?" Not only was he surprised by this, but the other team members and the two supernatural beings were also curious about it.Although they are all metal-type superpowers, they have never thought about changing their shapes directly with their minds through media and without hands-on manipulation.

Yan Fei chuckled in his heart, since he just found out that he has the metal ability, he has never used it, and he manipulates the metal transformation through pure mental power, okay?On the contrary, I was surprised when I saw other metal-type supernatural beings making things like mud for the first time.

But he didn't want to expose this matter for the time being, so he made an excuse at random: "When I added iron bars to the windows of my house, I was afraid that they would not be strong enough, so I subconsciously penetrated them into the wall and connected them to the concrete and steel bars in the wall." Together. Later, I was afraid that those things were too heavy and the walls would not be able to hold them, so I tried to strengthen the steel bars. I didn’t expect to be able to slowly reinforce all the metal at hand into the steel bars in the building. Then I realized that I can still do this. Ability."

Everyone was stunned, and the captain smiled and said, "No wonder you said you want some metal to go back? Don't you want to strengthen the walls of your home?"

Yan Fei nodded with a smile, and glanced at Luo Xun from the corner of his eyes: "If there is wealth."

"Don't worry, I will bring some back for you when I go back today! They will go out and continue to pull steel back in a few days, but you should be careful when you take it away, so that no one will see it."

"That's no problem. We have a car. When our truck goes back, it's good to stop at the place where we parked." Yan Feixin nodded.

There are quite a lot of things in the house, and since I heard Luo Xun say that there are actually two exaggerated large water tanks on the roof of their building, I am always worried about whether the building can support these messy things—they live in But the sixteenth floor!In case it affects the building body... Hehe.

Luo Xun was at a loss as to why Yan Fei always looked at him, and he didn't expect that he was worried about whether the roof of his house would be crushed by the two exaggeratedly large water tanks he bought before the end of the world. There is nothing more important than getting something back home!

Yan Fei's three people's operation of the wall was carried out smoothly again. After the captain saw that the three of them's operations were going well, he called the three people who were responsible for protecting the supernatural beings and carrying things for them except Luo Xun. The rest of the team members ran to some places nearby to start-fighting zombies.

Now the gate of the base has been opened, and not far away is an armored vehicle rushing out to rescue the team of soldiers trapped in the nearby watchtower. The zombies under the wall have indeed been lured away, but the smell of human flesh on this wall is really It was sweet and delicious, and there were at least forty or fifty zombies left who refused to leave.

The captain's goal is these dozens of zombies. Only when they are completely wiped out can everyone build the fence.Otherwise, even if the supernatural beings and other soldiers who are busy on the wall are tied with ropes to prevent them from falling, it still can't make people feel completely at ease-what if who really falls?Getting clawed is no fun!

After every few dead zombies were killed, other soldiers tried to hang a dead zombie with a rope with a hook, and pulled it into the air to dig out the heads and get the crystal nucleus.Although the speed and efficiency are slower, it is better than no gain at all.

Luo Xun was carrying metal materials for Yan Fei, and he was always on the lookout for the zombies below, and would help shoot a few with his crossbow from time to time.

Although the three of Yan Fei's operation took a lot of crystal core and mental energy, the effect was really good, and its consumption efficiency was comparable to the efficiency of turning a large lump of metal lumps into a fine metal mesh every night before going to bed-although it was still not as efficient as before. That intensity is great.
