Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 183 The Origin of Old Wang

When the number of corpses drops to a certain level, the so-called cluster consciousness will lose its effect, or there is no way to integrate the indomitable corpse tide.

Infected people will act more according to their instincts, rather than sticking to a unified goal.

Crane's team began to attract the back end of the tide of corpses, leaving some people behind to clean up the remaining infected in the city.

There will always be some guys who are not mixed into the corpse tide by chance, and will be trapped in an underground laboratory or closed building, not to mention that these laboratories or buildings are not fortified at all.

As long as there is a little sound that can startle them, these infected people who appear suddenly will complete the infection of most ordinary humans in an instant.

In all kinds of worlds where the zombie crisis broke out that Li Jianghao knew, the infection speed of the world with hundreds of millions of zombies is also the fastest.

Fortunately, this plague war has been safe and sound. Since the back end of the corpse wave was attracted, the pressure on the wall defense began to drop.

After another seventeen hours of fighting, the gunfire began to slowly stop until the remaining tide of corpses spreading in front of the wall could no longer form a group that could climb up the wall.

The war has entered its final stage, and troubles are coming one after another.

After all, there are still nearly 500 million corpses scattered on the plains. Similar to the infected area where the mountains in the north were originally gathered, the disease mist will slowly gather.

These infected groups will gather in the ruins of the camp towns that have been breached, forming the so-called "Old Kings".

This game term refers to those zombie tide towns that can be explored and destroyed in the map on the edge of the camp, and corresponding resources can be obtained after cleaning.

That is, the old king next door.

If people who don't know hear this word, they will think it refers to a particularly powerful infected person, just like a BOSS.

After solving the biggest problem of the corpse tide, it will take more time to clean up these old kings.

Maybe the old kings in the later plots of the game were also transformed from this process.

Although with the help of Crane, there is not much danger in these cleanups.It just takes a long time.

It seems that the mission of this world is really a long-term mission, maybe five or six years is not a problem.

Li Jianghao asked if the system had the longest known task completion record.

The system has responded. It is said that in the oldest sequences, there is still a savior completing a certain task.

Converted to standard sidereal years, the recorded time is 46 billion years, which seems to be about the same age as the proto-Earth.

As for what this task is, the system does not have permission to inquire.

The flame jet structures of the Hellions were reproduced into larger substitutes, and began to clean up the infected who had piled up on the "ground".

The horizon formed by the infected people stretched out, raising the height of the ground by about seven meters.

Ordinary people naturally don't need to participate in these cleaning tasks in order to prevent infection, and the mutant soldiers are responsible.

Anyway, there is no need to worry that these shattered infected people can still stand up and continue to bite. Compared with the pressure of fighting, these mutant soldiers are still very happy to do the work of scavengers.

The stench of the body being burned and cleaned up can only be enjoyed by the gang of the Jingshi Plague Army, and they didn't even play much role in this battle.

It can be said that 90.00% of the battle pressure is carried by the camp's own strength, with the technological strength that New London and the billions of zombie world humans can achieve.

But that one percent battle is also crucial.

Immediately afterwards, fifteen normal steam hubs were set up, and work began around the cleared space outside the city wall.

These steam hubs don't need to be made into cannonballs, they just need to put the pipes slightly outside, and raise the temperature in this area to sterilize.

The uncontrolled steam temperature can easily reach the level of destroying prion particles. Anyway, even if the residents inside the camp know that the tide of corpses outside has subsided, they will not be so courageous as to go out now.

They still have their own work to do, and this steam wall is also a kind of protection.

The energy of the fifteen steam hubs all comes from the function of the shock tower, and the water used for burning is the water in the extradited river.

It is said that the essence of human technology, at least at the current level, is to boil water.

It seems that there is no way to accomplish the goal without releasing energy without generating heat.

Only in this way did it appear that the snow-burning steam engine was abnormal and unreasonable.

Perhaps it is not impossible to find an engine that can burn stones autonomously one day without the need for external continuous power supply.

It is said that when the technology of Warhammer 40K was at its strongest, people of all races would destroy stars, travel through time and space, and modify cause and effect.

It's almost the same as the fantasy side.

However, the finishing work of the war still needs to last for two or three days to ensure that the remaining corpses can be completely broken up and scattered in the plain, so that they will not gather again.

After all, they don't have the ability to maintain the next frontal defense.

Some more radical engineering departments are even planning to take advantage of the clearing of the tide of corpses to start building a railway track directly leading to Phoenix to ensure the transmission of transportation and information.

In this era of blight, steam trains operate as the only means of transportation that can effectively shuttle people and resources between surface infected areas.

In addition to possible infection problems, indeed, it is necessary to consider the first item.

After all, it may be necessary to reproduce the colony mode in the game in the future, and send corresponding personnel to establish a small camp safe area in the plain.

These tracks extending in all directions can successfully transport population resources and even military forces.

After these small colonial camps are built, they can radiate and wipe out the infected people scattered on the plain, saving them from searching for them one by one.

The last thing is to stabilize these small colonial camps and completely connect them with Phoenix City to build a solid defensive circle.

In this way, in the game plot, the rudiment of the Great Basin Safety Zone appeared at the beginning.

As for the deterrence from the north, it is indeed necessary to beware of that tactical nuclear bomb.

According to the Emperor's account, two of his most powerful mutant minions have traveled to Alaska.

They will assassinate Breezer and trigger the one under the leader by the way, so that they can take advantage of the situation and completely annex that area.

Even if the tactical nuclear bomb had already been launched, the emperor had plenty of time to give an early warning.

But he himself can travel lightly, Li Jianghao.Although the wealth accumulated with great difficulty has been exhausted, the infrastructure is still there.

If it is destroyed like this, it is not only a question of starting from scratch, but also related to who can take the lead after the merger of the three forces.

Although Li Jianghao is confident that he has twenty Astartes around him, and he doesn't need to fear any armed force, but the people under him cannot 100% guarantee that they will survive the disaster.
