Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 125 Information about the Large-scale Corpse Riot

It seemed that there was something wrong with Li Jianghao's tone, and the voice of the Edward leader became sharp:
"Hurry up and take us away, we have information about the corpse horde. It's not just tens of thousands of corpse hordes, but millions of them, a huge group of corpse hordes that are all infected in a complete civilized city circle nearby!"

Li Jianghao frowned, why did the questions come up one after another, he said harshly: "You'd better not make any fools, I don't mind executing the same kind."

Edward hurriedly said: "Of course, of course! How could I make fun of these things? The reason I am willing to cooperate with Master Negan is to have a way out after this wave of corpses erupts. I can tell you first, that city is the original civilization In the Phoenix City of the world, when the infection began to break out, in order to trap the corpse tide in the city, countless shock towers were built around it, but unfortunately more than half of them were damaged. If we can activate those towers that are in the same direction as our plain The strange shock tower will lead the tide of corpses inside the city to the south, and we will have enough safe time to develop the camp. This is also the information designated by Lord Negan at the beginning."

Phoenix, one of the most developed cities in old America.

Li Jianghao's impression of this city is only one superhero character, Zorro.The city where the hero is located is Phoenix.

However, it is impossible for Li Jianghao to agree to Edward's conditions. What he needs is more people.However, the gas masks provided by these three refuges may not be able to protect all the population.

So they had to find a way to open a surface passage. After all, as long as the tunnel blocked by Nigan was unblocked, there would be a ready-made tunnel that could be used.Then use the train to transport the population, plus the emergency passage to where Mars is, all the people can be evacuated within a day.

The surface passage train can transport enough gas masks and then return with a population of about two hundred people.

The remaining 500 people had to be evacuated through underground passages.

Once the population carried by the train is too large, it will be like a fresh lamb exposed to hungry wolves, attracting too many infected people to gather.

Infected people can perceive their surroundings through smell and hearing, which is really a troublesome thing.

Once there are too many living people within their sense of smell, they will be the only light and guidepost in the night, and even the raw meat they are eating will lose their appeal.

Li Jianghao sometimes even wonders whether this mechanism is doomed to the fact that the two races, the infected and the native humans, must fight to the death to decide who is more suitable to continue living on this planet.

Edward was left alone, he seemed to realize that his so-called intelligence was completely unattractive to Li Jianghao.

Li Jianghao has long been prepared to get in touch with the interior of the big city. There are only a few million people left in Phoenix City, and the average population capacity of a big city when civilization is still in the period when there are 800 billion people on the entire planet is trivial. up.

Directly blocking Edward's communication channel, Li Jianghao began to search the terminal for maps left over from the civilized period.

It has to be said that the data of large companies preserved in this civilization period is really useful, and only these data can make people believe that the human civilization in this world has developed to what level.

Compared with the current piece of wasteland, generating electricity depends on turning the hub by steam, and covering a small part of that poor place with the help of wind rotors.

The plain on which they are located is located between two longitudinal mountain ranges of the American continent, biased towards the Midwest.The Phoenix City is located at the southward exit of the two mountain ranges. The largest freshwater river flows down the river, opening up a high-quality soil base. Various conditions almost determine that the Phoenix City is the throat that chokes the development of the plain in the middle of the mountains. parts.

Of course, when the infection broke out, hundreds of millions of people in the city ran towards the north and south from the very beginning.

Of course, because the richer population in the south is more concentrated, most of the infected and survivors have been lost to the south.

Therefore, the survivors who survived in the so-called "plain" between the two mountain ranges in the north would not be completely exterminated.Some shelters were also built here in order to preserve as many seeds of civilization as possible.

After the defense system of the shock tower around the city was completed, there were only a few million infected people left in the city, and most of those shock towers were destroyed.

The last nuclear power unit has not been maintained for 17 years and will soon be in a standstill phase.

When all the energy supply is stopped, the corpse tide will soon realize that the barrier has disappeared. After entering the natural environment, it will come into contact with infected people who have undergone multiple mutations. Fifth generation infected.

It can be said that the intelligence that can be judged from the information obtained from the terminal has already explained the danger of the city, and there is no need for Edward's follow-up information at all.

It is estimated that Edward still regards himself as a generation who grew up in the wasteland, or has not been exposed to the secrets of their upper-level companies in the civilized age, so he dared to fool himself with this information that can be judged as long as he has a little overall view.

Inside Vault 12, Edward put down the communication microphone with a look of disappointment.

The faces of the two elderly men who were also wearing management uniforms behind him were uncertain.

"Damn it, that kid Mars didn't even dare to talk to us with such an attitude when he appeared in front of us in person!"

"Edward, if we directly activate the poison gas in the three shelters, it is said that the epidemic has leaked in the residential area, and we have to deal with those untouchables according to the procedures. Then only we are left in this shelter, and they can't stay in the shelter." Do any useless work, and take us back to a safe place first."

Even if Edward was able to say the words of abandoning those ordinary people to escape, after hearing his companion's opinion that he wanted to kill people and run away, he was shocked and disagreed, saying:
"Uncle Merck, those untouchables themselves will die because they are fighting for dominance and resources after we leave. Why bother? Besides, I still have trump cards to convince the stubborn guy above. They can clean up after the missile bombing. The gathering tide of corpses shows that the force is not bad. But we only heard the sound of gunshots. Then we can use the shock tower's patented technology in exchange and ask him to rescue us. These old people gathered in the wasteland only know how to dance with swords. Get a gun, once you encounter a destructive weapon, you will definitely not be able to refuse it!"

Except for the leader of the shelter who had been silent and undecided, Merck thought about the proposal seriously, shook his head and said:
"A year ago, I met with the envoy of the emperor in the south behind Negan's back, and promised not to let those bandit-like barbarians get the shock tower technology. You know the location of Phoenix City, if we can recover that city , Repair all the shock tower defense systems around the city, and we will be able to open up a real city-level security zone."
