Chapter 835 Tara
(Tara) When we came, there was only one car and four people. When we left, there was not only one more person, but also three more pickup trucks full of goods.
Of course, the supplies in this town have not been completely looted, and we can make two more trips later to move back all the usable items.
When Lu Cheng led his men back to the shelter, the people who stayed in the camp had already hung a sign on the barbed wire gate outside the prison that read "City of Stars and Flames."
Dale and Ramles, who were on guard in the watchtower, saw the convoy coming back and immediately notified the personnel on duty in the guard room to go and open the door.
"Guys, come out and move the things." Lu Cheng jumped out of the car and called on everyone to come out and move the supplies.
Michonne, who followed the others to the shelter, was also looking around curiously. When she saw the children playing on the basketball court and the women hanging clothes to dry, she felt relieved.
Lu Cheng casually introduced Michonne to everyone and instructed: "Amy, register Michonne and arrange a room for her."
Amy nodded in agreement and greeted Michonne enthusiastically: "Hello, come with me, do you want to take a hot bath first?"
"You guys have hot water here?"
"Of course, we have plenty of energy and electricity here, enough for us to take a hot shower from time to time."
After spending a night in the shelter, having a full meal, taking a hot bath, having a good sleep, and learning some of the rules of the shelter from Amy and others, Michonne took the initiative to join Starfire City and applied to join the search and rescue team.
After doing the dirty work for a few days, the three men gradually gained recognition from everyone. Oscar was the first one to be accepted by everyone because of his best performance. He became a plumber in the prison and learned horse stance.
The other two, having no special skills, were still doing hard labor, busy cleaning up garbage or tilling the land every day.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng asked Sean, Daryl and others to lead a team to the town and its vicinity to search for supplies, and asked them to look for nearby farms to find some usable tractors, tillers, harvesters and other agricultural machinery to prepare for farming.
The location of this prison is approximately 30° north of the Tropic of Cancer, which is equivalent to the southern Henan region of China. It is suitable for growing crops such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and winter wheat.
It is already August now, and we can plant some green vegetables such as cabbage and radish, or we can wait for a while and plant winter wheat.
Therefore, the land near the prison should be plowed in advance to prepare for subsequent planting.
After arranging all these, Lu Cheng did not stay in the prison, but prepared to go out alone to look for survivors.
Nowadays, there are still too few people in the shelter, and there is not much room for operation. Even if Lu Cheng stays at home all day to develop, it doesn't make much sense. It is better to find more survivors as soon as possible to expand the population base of the shelter.
Before leaving, Lu Cheng scattered some simulated mosquitoes at various intersections and jungles within ten kilometers around the shelter as surveillance devices.
Once strangers or a large number of zombies approach, Lu Cheng will know it at the first time and make appropriate responses.
At the same time, Lu Cheng also asked Dr. Jenner to build a simple laboratory and assemble all the experimental equipment to extract the vaccine.
Since he didn't know how many days it would take for him to return, Lu Cheng left a batch of vaccines in the prison just in case.
After doing all this, Lu Cheng went alone, riding a newly found motorcycle, and started from the north, conducting a clockwise fan-shaped search in the area within 40 kilometers of the shelter.
While passing through a forest on the way, Lu Cheng captured a pair of owls and a dozen brown long-tailed birds, and tamed them to search for surviving humans.
For this purpose, Lu Cheng also called Daryl and asked him not to hunt birds in the jungle at will.
Lu Cheng knew that Daryl was a pure jungle survival expert. Once he was in the wild, he would eat whatever he saw. Pheasants, hares, squirrels, and owls would all become his food.
In the original drama, the protagonists often went hungry on the road of escape, and most of the time they relied on Daryl's hunting skills to ensure that everyone had something to eat and could survive.
With these bird pets acting as "scouts", Lu Cheng's search efficiency immediately improved a lot. When encountering some towns or farms along the way, Lu Cheng would first mark the specific locations and wait for people to come over to clean up and search.
When encountering a large number of zombies, Lu Cheng would use various means to kill and clear them out in order to increase the cumulative number of kills.
Sometimes, Lu Cheng would use the M249 squad light machine gun or the M2 heavy machine gun, adjust the gun body and muzzle to the appropriate height, and fire continuous bursts of fire to the head.
When facing a dense group of zombies, the powerful penetrating power of machine gun bullets can even penetrate the heads of multiple zombies at the same time, greatly increasing the killing efficiency.
In the evening, after Lu Cheng cleared out a wave of zombies and continued searching in the northeast direction, he suddenly heard several gunshots in the distance.
Lu Cheng immediately rushed towards the direction where the gunshots came from. Just after passing through a small forest, he saw a group of zombies gathering towards a certain place in the town ahead. There were two women in the middle, and one of them was shooting in panic.
However, the woman who fired the shot was not very good at shooting, and she didn't know how to shoot at the zombies' heads. She fired seven or eight shots but didn't kill any of the zombies.
Seeing that the other party had been surrounded by zombies, Lu Cheng did not hesitate at all. He took out an M4 assault rifle full of bullets from the storage space and fired quickly while moving forward, accurately killing one zombie after another.
After using up all the bullets from his rifle, Lu Cheng had already arrived near the group of zombies. He pulled out two Glock pistols equipped with extended magazines with a capacity of up to 33 rounds from his waist. The two pistols fired at the same time, and the dense bullets connected into a whole, creating the effect of a submachine gun.
The zombies around fell down in large numbers, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a few left.
As Lu Cheng shot and killed the last zombie, the two surrounded women leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
The two women in front of me are about four or five years apart in age and have some similarities in appearance. They are obviously a pair of sisters.
The older one, with brown-black hair and a thin body, was holding a baseball bat. But he didn't dare to swing the baseball bat at the zombies.
The younger one, about 20 years old, has pure black hair tied into a short ponytail, three-dimensional and bright facial features, a plump figure but not fat, and a very broad mind. Although not a stunning beauty, she is very attractive and gives people the feeling of an optimistic and cheerful girl next door.
"Thank you, thank you so much, sir. If it weren't for you, my sister and I might have been eaten by these horrible monsters. Hello, sir, I'm Lily, and this is my sister, Tara."
"Hello, I'm Lu Cheng."
"Lu, Cheng? Are you Chinese? Your shooting skills are amazing. You just killed nearly a hundred monsters. Also, why did these monsters die as soon as you fired? I fired many times but couldn't kill a single one." The girl named Tara asked.
"It's useless to hit other places. You should hit their heads. We call these monsters zombies. Their bodies have rotted away, and only their brain stems are still active. Only by shooting them in the head can you kill them."
"Thank you for telling us this, and thank you for saving us just now. It's getting late now, do you want to come to our house and rest for a while?"
