Chapter 852: Massive Slaughter of Zombies
The Spark City patrol team and the engineering team went out together, using all the excavators, bulldozers, and trucks collected from the surrounding areas. It took a full two days to dig out a huge pit.
The pit is located on a road heading southwest of Atlanta, less than ten kilometers away from Atlanta.
After digging the big pit, Lu Cheng immediately split the patrol team into several groups, each carrying a player and speakers, and entered Atlanta.
Afterwards, after several teams found the zombies, they began to play all kinds of explosive rock music, leading tens of thousands of zombies in the city towards the deep pits that had been dug in advance.
As the explosive music resounded throughout the sky of Atlanta, the groups of people seemed to have taken stimulants, and even their movement speed increased a lot, rushing to the vicinity of the huge crater at a speed of four or five kilometers per hour.
After arriving near the deep pit, several teams immediately turned off the music players, bypassed the deep pit from both sides, and evacuated safely.
At the same time, a small area was deliberately left unexcavated in the middle of the large pit, forming a small platform of about ten square meters in the center of the pit. A flagpole was inserted on the platform, and a complete set of audio equipment was tied to the flagpole.
Not only that, the bottom of the entire pit had already been covered with dry firewood and sprinkled with some fuel.
After the vehicle that attracted the zombies passed by, Lu Cheng immediately turned on the speaker in the center of the platform and poured a bucket of pig blood that had been prepared in advance onto the platform.
The zombies that were already approaching, hearing the exciting music again and smelling the blood, jumped into the more than two-meter-deep pit like crazy and rushed towards the small platform in the center.
As time passed, more and more zombies poured into the pit, one next to the other, gradually becoming crowded together.
In the distance, Lu Cheng and others ate something leisurely and rested for more than an hour. Only when the big pit was filled with tens of thousands of zombies did Lu Cheng get up and take action.
Others wanted to come forward to help, but were rejected by Lu Cheng.
Quickly coming to the edge of the big pit, Lu Cheng took out a bundle of torches that he had prepared in advance, lit them one by one, and threw them into various locations in the big pit.
Soon, a raging fire broke out in the entire pit, and thousands of zombies were quickly engulfed by the fire. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, and a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky.
Not long after, the number of zombies killed on Lu Cheng's system panel began to increase rapidly. For every 10,000 increase, one cubic meter of storage space was added.
37, 38, 39...
In the big pit, zombies were constantly burned to death and fell to the ground, but subsequent zombies continued to pour into the pit and lined up to die.
The fire burned until dark, and Lu Cheng's storage space reached 42 cubic meters.
The work of this day alone was almost enough to equal the total number of zombies killed sporadically in the previous two months.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Cheng asked the engineering team to temporarily park the construction machinery at a nearby farm, and the members of the engineering team followed the patrol team back to Xinghuo City.
In the next two or three days, the construction team continued to move south along the road, digging a pit at regular intervals for backup.
The patrol team also continued to attract the zombies gathered in Atlanta and surrounding towns, leading them into those deep pits, and then Lu Cheng personally set them on fire.
Over a period of five days, Lu Cheng and his men killed nearly 300,000 zombies by setting fire to everything, greatly reducing the density of zombies in Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Many survivors hiding in their homes or some secluded places were also attracted by the rock music played by the patrols.
After the zombies were almost burned, many survivors went out, either looking for supplies or continuing to hide at home, or directly found the patrol team and wanted to join them.
For these survivors who want to join, the patrol will first ask them three questions, which are Rick's three questions in the original show: How many zombies have you killed? Have you killed people? Why do you kill people?
After the patrol team asked questions, Lu Cheng would personally interview them in batches, and use hypnosis skills to confirm that those people were not lying and had not done anything bad, and then let the human resources department assign jobs to each person.
At the same time, Lu Cheng also returned to the CDC west of Atlanta with the more than 20 soldiers under Lieutenant William.
After arriving at the CDC, everyone first checked the tanks and armored vehicles, loaded the intact tanks onto trucks and refueled them, and moved the usable items out of the abandoned tanks, eventually obtaining four tanks and five armored vehicles.
It is somewhat regrettable that the two or three helicopters near the CDC have been completely broken down and cannot be repaired under the current conditions. We can only remove some of the usable parts from them and use them as spare parts for other helicopters.
Afterwards, the patrol entered Atlanta and conducted a thorough search, clearing out two or three gun stores and obtaining a large number of guns and ammunition.
Today, there are very few survivors left in the entire Atlanta. Those survivors have either joined Spark City or are hiding in the dark, not daring to provoke the people of Spark City.
Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, had a population of 400,000 to 500,000 people living there before the end of the world. The city had all kinds of stores. Many stores and supermarkets had warehouses that stored a huge amount of supplies, which together were enough to supply hundreds of thousands of people for a long time.
Today, there are only a few scattered zombies left in the entire city, and the substances contained therein can be taken at will.
The patrol team of Xinghuo City, accompanied by a large number of ordinary citizens, would drive more than 20 trucks into the city every day to search for all possible supplies.
In order to better store these supplies, Xinghuo City even had to build many temporary warehouses.
Of course, there are only a few hundred people in Spark City right now. Even if men, women, and children all drive trucks together, it is difficult to empty a city of supplies.
The patrol team even wanted to move all the buildings in Atlanta to Spark City.
After moving for nearly half a month, all kinds of supplies in Xinghuo City had piled up into mountains, and the patrol team finally stopped.
As more and more survivors joined Spark City, it was almost full.
The original number of cells in this prison could only accommodate more than 600 people, and now there are more than 400 people living in it. It seems that it is not full yet, but we can't let the survivors be crowded together like prisoners.
Therefore, after searching for enough supplies, the patrol team also began to take the engineering team to collect building materials everywhere and started the expansion work of Spark City.
As winter approaches, the weather is getting colder, but Spark City is bustling with activity.
The trees in the forest to the north were cut down in large areas to clear space for building houses. The cut trees can also be used as building materials or firewood.
As the number of people increased, the leader Lu Cheng had more things to worry about.
We have to worry about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of people, labor distribution, children's education, improvement of the medical system, adjustment of the points distribution system, etc.
Fortunately, the talents under him are gradually growing, and everyone is doing his or her own job, which also relieves a lot of pressure for Lu Cheng.
However, when more people gather together and have enough food and clothing, many other needs will arise, and some conflicts will arise among them.
To this end, Xinghuo City also established a guard and a court to mediate disputes and punish criminals.
In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. Those who dare to challenge the laws of Xinghuo City will be severely punished, with the lighter punishment being reeducation through labor and the heavier punishment being direct execution.
Because a complete system was established in advance and a solid foundation was laid, any signs of restlessness were suppressed and did not cause much waves.
