Back in the car, Li Xi took out the guns, walkie-talkies, binoculars, knives, etc. that she had collected (a small portion was still left in the space ear stud) as the team's common supplies.
Seeing this, the others also took out the resources they had collected and distributed them.
"Oh my god! Did you rob the police station?" Yu Xiaowei's eyes lit up as he looked at so many guns and ammunition. As a man, there were very few people who didn't like these.
Although Zeng Zhiqiang knew that Li Xi had guns, he did not expect that he had so many. He was also very happy.
"Wow, there's even a solar charger! I've never seen this model before. Where did you buy it?”Yu Xiaowei couldn't even see enough.
"I modified it myself." This was actually done by Father Li with Li Xi's help. Father Li really didn't like the technology on Earth and wanted to leave something useful for Li Xi after he left. He liked to modify it when he had nothing to do.
"Tsk tsk, an expert is an expert. He knows everything.”Yu Xiaowei was almost numb, but then he became happy again." My laptop can be used again in the future. I was hesitating whether I should throw it away to save space!”
"Guns, walkie-talkies, binoculars, and knives are the basic equipment for the team members. As for the other supplies, you can take them yourself. Now that the team is small, don't be too calculative. What do you think?" Zeng Zhiqiang made the preliminary arrangements.
Everyone naturally had no objections. They were not people who were calculative, so it was easy to get along with them.
"The team will definitely need more members in the future. As for the candidates, we will pay attention to them along the way. My suggestion is to value quality over quantity. Having more people isn't necessarily a good thing." Li Xi thought of the team member problem and voiced her thoughts.
Although Li Xi wasn't the captain, the others all silently acknowledged the fact that she was the BOSS behind the scenes of the team, so they would take her words seriously.
"I think so too. It's best if there are complementary talents in all aspects.”Zeng Zhiqiang was once a company commander, so he had a lot of experience in management." Zheng Ji will be in charge of the important supplies such as guns and ammunition. Wei will be in charge of the other living supplies for the time being. We'll change them in the future when there's a suitable candidate. Any objections?" Zeng Zhiqiang also knew that Li Xi really did not like to be in charge, so he did not arrange for her to do these things.
"Agreed." They said in unison.
"Also, everyone prepare a backpack for themselves. It contains weapons, food, water, and other survival supplies. Other than in the car, it's best not to leave it with you no matter where you go.”Zeng Zhiqiang remembered that someone had lost his life because he forgot to bring his backpack, so he quickly reminded everyone. Fortunately, according to his observation, these few people were aware of this. It was easy to manage a team member who was aware of this. Thinking of the temporary team that he had led before, he was even more emotional." Oh right, you're responsible for organizing and managing your own backpack!”
"Everyone, come and take a look!" Li Xi took out the useful information she had collected from her notebook and showed it to everyone.
"What is it? OMG! Zombie Survival Manual! You still remember this? Amazing! I've long forgotten!" Yu Xiaowei was pleasantly surprised.
"Zombie Survival Manual? How did this happen? Could it be that the government had made emergency measures so quickly?”Zeng Zhiqiang was both surprised and confused. He looked at Li Xi and Yu Xiaowei, and he could tell that they both knew about this.
"This is a book written by an American named Old Ma Brooks in 2003. After the movie Resident Evil was released in 2002, zombie-themed film and television works became popular. The book he wrote was very popular at that time and was made into a movie, Zombie World War. People talked about these things with relish, but ironically, ten years later, their imaginary stories had become reality. Now, no one would still talk about these things with relish. Although this manual was written by the Americans and doesn't match the situation of Z country, most of it can still be used as a reference, especially the description of zombies. I think it basically matches. This will be beneficial to our future battles against zombies!”Li Xi slowly told her everything she knew about the origin of this manual.
Yu Xiaowei already knew about this, but after so many years, even if the Resident Evil movie series was still popular, he only paid attention to it as a genre of movies and did not pay special attention to it. That was why he did not immediately remember the book he had read many years ago after the apocalypse.
Zeng Zhiqiang and Zheng Ji had no idea. They were not people who liked to pay attention to these things. They were shocked when they heard Li Xi's explanation. They did not know if it was because people's predictions were too accurate or that people were too imaginative.
"No matter what, this is still good news. At least we have an understanding and will take fewer detours!”Zeng Zhiqiang felt relieved after the initial shock.
"Eh? That's not right! Didn't it say that animals wouldn't turn into zombies? But in reality, animals have already mutated! Also, it took less than 20 hours for a human to turn into a zombie after being infected. Most people would turn into zombies in about half an hour!”Yu Xiaowei quickly browsed through it. After all, he had seen it before. He recalled it after a quick glance. At this time, he found that it did not match reality and immediately called out.
"I only said that it could be used as a reference, especially the description of zombies 'characteristics and habits. I didn't say that it was the same as reality. That was an imaginative novel after all. It was just written in a way that made people feel very realistic. You really copied it completely!”Li Xi rolled his eyes at him.
"What? Oh! Hehe…I'm not…that…" Yu Xiaowei was so embarrassed that he began to stutter.
"According to the manual, it is indeed better to escape to open areas such as the grassland outskirts. But the reality was that animals had mutated! And more powerful than zombies! Therefore, we have to do the opposite. We have to stay in the city. This is why I said that our destination was B City. It's both a city and the capital. It's relatively safe!”Li Xi continued to explain to them the reason why she had set the destination in the first place.
Everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that they only agreed with Li Xi's proposal because they didn't have a better idea. Now, they sincerely agreed.
"Take care of this!" Li Xi handed an iPad to Zeng Zhiqiang." I've copied the contents of the Manual and some information and information that you need to pay attention to into it. You guys can read it when you're free. It's best if you memorize it. In the future, new members will have to read it. Take this as our team's internal information book! I'll keep adding new content. By the way, when you have time, you can also sort out the rules and regulations of the team. The password is the date of our team's establishment.”
Zeng Zhiqiang took it happily and looked at it briefly. Yu Xiaowei immediately snatched it from him and exclaimed,"Cool! I dare to bet that we are definitely the first private team to be so well-prepared after the apocalypse!”
The rest of the people had an expression that said,"That makes sense."
"If there's nothing else, let's go. Wei, you know how to drive, right?”Zeng Zhiqiang said when he saw that everyone had nothing else to say.
"Of course." Nowadays, there were very few people who didn't know how to drive, especially for a job like his that required him to travel everywhere.
"Then the three of us will take turns driving. Those who don't drive will be responsible for guarding.”From the perspective of Li Xi alone, Zeng Zhiqiang would not have arranged for Li Xi to drive.
After leaving Putian Village, the crops on both sides of the road had withered. Occasionally, a few zombie animals would appear, but Zeng Zhiqiang would kill them with a gun (he installed a silencer, otherwise, it would attract more zombies).
"If the animals have mutated, what about the fish in the river? Don't tell me the river water can't be drunk?" Yu Xiaowei felt scared just thinking about it.
"That's right. The animals in the water have also mutated, and the surface water has been polluted. All towns that used surface water could not use tap water. Only the underground water was drinkable now. In the future, the water supply would become more and more scarce. The government was already trying to see if they could filter surface water or develop other water resources.”Li Xi was reading the latest research materials on the Internet.
"Isn't the virus not transmitted through water?”Yu Xiaowei asked with a glimmer of hope.
"It won't spread through water, but the corpses of animals that no one cleaned up and mutated contaminated the water source. People who drank it were not infected by the zombie virus, but poisoned by other viruses!”Li Xi helplessly announced this cruel fact.
Everyone was in low spirits when they heard this. This was a piece of news that was extremely disadvantageous to mankind. Humans could live for seven days without food, but only three days without water. It could be seen how important water was to humans!
"After the virus outbreak, the first batch of infected people accounted for about half of the country's population, and the first batch of zombies infected another 20%. The number of infected people is still increasing, which means that the current population of the country is about 300 million. Of course, this number is decreasing. Eighty percent of the infected people were old, weak, sick, and young. Some of them were directly drenched by the heavy rain. Initially, it was suspected that the virus was caused by a virus factor in the heavy rain in mid-December that combined with harmful exhaust gases in the air, producing a new virus. The infected organism would mutate and could be transmitted through blood. After being infected, it would mutate about half an hour or so. At present, national researchers were working on developing an antidote.”Li Xi was responsible for informing the team members of the latest news in a timely manner so that everyone could obtain first-hand information and be more prepared than others.
"It seems that we humans have to bear most of the responsibility for this virus. The problem of environmental pollution had long been recognized, but the effect of governance was unusually slow. Now, retribution had come. Do you think the antidote can be developed?”Yu Xiaowei was angry and worried.
"I don't know. I hope so!" Zeng Zhiqiang was not confident either. After all, this virus was the most serious in human history.
"Regardless of whether we can develop it or not, we shouldn't count on it. We should rely on ourselves! Try not to expose your skin. It's best to choose leather when you collect supplies next time. Didn't the manual say that you should wear tight-fitting clothes as much as possible so that zombies won't catch you easily?”Li Xi didn't want them to be dependent.
"Fortunately, I wear a lot of clothes. If it were summer, I would be miserable. I would be so easily scratched!”Yu Xiaowei had been caught before. If it weren't for his thick clothes that didn't touch his skin, he would probably have become a zombie by now. It was scary to think about it. He couldn't help but tremble.
"In the future, when you have time, everyone should train, especially Yu Xiaowei.”Zeng Zhiqiang decided to improve the overall strength of the team. He adopted the military's practice and made training a compulsory course every day.
"Yes! In order to survive, I'll fight it out!" Yu Xiaowei thought of himself as the weakest in the team, and his heart was filled with tears. In the blink of an eye, he thought of his teammates who were all experts, and he was as good as hugging a few thick legs. He became proud again.
Everyone shook their heads when they saw his half-crying and half-laughing expression. With him joining the team, the atmosphere was much livelier.
The heater was not turned on in the car. Firstly, it saved fuel. More importantly, everyone had to keep a clear head at all times. The warmth easily made people lose their vigilance.
"I think we need to get a bigger car and get more supplies.”Zeng Zhiqiang had been thinking about the team's needs.
"Zheng Ji, go to the biggest car dealer." Li Xi knew that even if Zeng Zhiqiang requested it, Zheng Ji would still look at him, so he simply ordered," Then, go to the largest leather factory, and then go to the mall to collect supplies.”
