Chapter 91 BBQ
After parking at the designated location, they pulled out a huge nozzle from the oil tank and sprayed a large amount of gasoline on the zombies like a high-pressure water gun.
In just over ten minutes, they only changed the position of the vehicle and used up nearly 100 tons of gasoline. The hundreds of thousands of zombies were soaked, and their clothes seemed to have been soaked by heavy rain for a long time. Even a thin layer of gasoline accumulated at the bottom of the pit.
While the drivers were pouring gasoline, Leon had already returned to the command center with surveillance cameras, along with his soldiers and Iron Wolf Frank's men.
Soon, after the preliminary preparations were completed, the drivers drove the empty tanker trucks away from the pit.
"Light it up."
The time was ripe. Leon nodded to Peggy, and the girl immediately controlled a reconnaissance drone with a torch tied to the bottom and flew over the pit. After she gave an order, the silk thread that tied the torch was loosened by the drone, and the burning torch fell into the group of zombies under the action of gravity.
The zombies hit by the torches were immediately ignited by the gasoline and turned into a ball of fire. Then, this ball of fire spread rapidly to all the zombies at lightning speed, and the ground under the zombies' feet also began to burn with flames.
Looking from the command center, Leon only saw that the entire earth pit, which was more than a thousand meters long, turned into a huge brazier in the blink of an eye. The nearly 200,000 zombies seemed to have become the fuel in the brazier. Without any resistance, they were turned into charcoal in the raging flames within tens of minutes.
Black smoke from the burning corpses and clothes rose into the sky, forming a dark cloud of smoke above the giant pit, as if a ball of ink was smeared on the blue sky. It could be seen clearly even from a long distance away.
Captain Iron Wolf knew very well that this was a long and arduous mission, so difficult that it had repeatedly overwhelmed him, a man known as a combat hero.
Frank and others used the flesh and blood camouflage method taught by Leon and successfully entered the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors of the fortress's ground buildings.
The team leader stroked his mustache, glared at the young drivers, and said:
Even if they cleared the zombies in the fortress, they would have to find a way to open the sealed doors, and then break through layer after layer of obstacles to reach the shelter at the bottom of the fortress in order to rescue their loved ones.
If we get their cooperation, the dream of reaching the bottom of the base and opening the shelter will no longer be so far away.
"Once six or seven years have passed, the engine is basically unable to use these expired gasoline and diesel. Not only are they very prone to failure or loss, but they also produce a lot of impurities due to uneven combustion, so they can only be used to burn fires."
In these ground buildings, in addition to many warehouses and various rooms that were completely sealed by large metal doors, there were at least more than 30,000 zombies wandering around.
It was truly an amazing harvest and great value for money, which made Leon, as the big boss, couldn't help but put on a bright smile on his face.
Without breaking through these metal fences, it is not only difficult to enter, but also difficult to get out. Therefore, as long as you don't actively provoke these two areas, the zombies inside will stay there.
Seeing that more than half of the zombies in the base were killed so easily by Leon, Iron Wolf Frank couldn't help but feel some admiration for the man in front of him. Having lived in the army for more than ten years and often performing various dangerous tasks, they naturally developed the concept that the strong are respected.
"Once you have obtained enough intelligence, we will make a decision based on the situation."
They were busy until dusk, and Lyon and his several hundred men finally managed to move all the weapons and ammunition for a thousand people. During this time, Iron Wolf Frank also brought back the intelligence they had gathered.
Adhering to the principle that it is better to be cautious, it is always right. He does not want to be robbed by others at the last moment of victory.
"There are probably more than 100,000 zombies left in the base, but they are all scattered in various buildings. As long as we don't provoke them, they can't escape from the trapped environment."
With such a big commotion today, someone might have followed them and found the base where Leon and the others were.
After their inventory and transportation, they actually found enough weapons and supplies on the ground of the base to equip thousands of soldiers.
According to Iron Wolf Frank's speculation, in addition to the zombies in the fortress area, the other two areas with the largest number of zombies should be the family living area for the families of soldiers and the commercial activity area that meets the various life needs of more than 200,000 people in the supply base.
It is the most important building where various weapons and ammunition, airplanes, tanks and various confidential documents are stored.
However, not everyone was satisfied with this plan. With his keen hearing, he heard a middle-aged black driver among the drivers outside the tent looking at the burnt gasoline with regret, saying with a look of regret:
"Hundreds of tons of gasoline were burned just like that. It's really wasteful, Mr. Custer."
"Mr. Custer, as a leader, must have thought more than you idiots. So many zombies are trapped in the pit. If we leave them alone, if it rains or the soil becomes soft and causes a landslide, won't they all run out?"
"We all live in Georgia. Do you think that so many zombies running out will have no impact on our lives?"
Move these burnt and hardened charred corpses to another location so as not to affect the second incineration plan that may take place next, and let these corpses become stepping stones for the next wave of zombies.
Leon commanded Moore and his warriors to act cautiously, trying to avoid buildings that held large numbers of zombies. Occasionally, they would use cold weapons to clean up some zombies that sneaked out of the buildings.
In the next two hours, Lyon brought Moore and 150 fighters into the military base, leaving Daryl and 50 fighters to protect the supplies and vehicles outside the base.
"However, my people have to go and count the spoils first."
"You and your soldiers go and investigate the dangerous situation in the building where the shelter is located. I can teach you a way to use the flesh and blood of zombies for camouflage."
But no matter what, so many zombies cannot be easily dealt with by Frank and his dozens of guns and dozens of people.
"They are the purpose of my trip."
Leon thought for a few seconds and said:
Then more than 100 members of the logistics department were arranged to use excavators and cargo trucks to cooperate with each other to clean up the charred bodies in the pit.
At night, almost all the employees and soldiers, including Lyon, felt tired after a long day and a lot of physical labor.
"You and your soldiers can pick some out as my gifts to you."
Then he immediately called on the logistics personnel to load his spoils into various trucks. Some soldiers and survivors who had driving skills directly refilled the tanks and various armored vehicles with fuel, and excitedly drove them one by one back to the canning factory two kilometers away.
The weapons and ammunition collected on the ground alone exceeded the inventory that Umbrella Corporation had desperately collected over the past six months.
In addition to a large number of artillery pieces and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles that could not be easily transported, they collected thousands of rifles and tens of millions of rounds of ammunition. In addition to these most common weapons, they also collected a series of special weapons such as Stinger rocket launchers, grenade launchers, anti-material sniper rifles, heavy submachine guns, etc. The number and variety are enough to hold a fairly large arms exhibition.
With the digging of the huge bucket of the large excavator, the zombies in the pit were quickly cleared out. Leon asked people to move in more than a dozen large containers more than three meters high, and with the help of a crane, he paved a road more than four meters wide in the pit.
After a sumptuous dinner, Lyon specially arranged more than three times the usual patrol force to protect the canning plant and guard against sneak attacks.
Seeing that it was getting late, Leon suggested returning to the cannery base to rest and discuss how to deal with the zombies in the fortress.
Lyon smiled, pointed at the piles of equipment and ammunition in the base, and said:
The total number of zombies in these three areas exceeds 100,000. Fortunately, at the beginning of the disaster, these two densely populated areas had been surrounded and blocked by soldiers. Not only various metal fences were used, but also many fences made of sandbags or fortifications.
"If you ask me, we are just going to take the equipment from the military base and go back. These zombies can't even climb out of the pit, so why waste energy and resources to deal with them?"
In the back half of the military base, in the military section of the base, there is a large fortress consisting of defensive buildings, officially known as Fort Benning Army Fortress.
After Leon finished washing up, he hugged Peggy's fragrant body and wanted to have a sweet sleep.
However, the appearance of Leon and others gave him some hope again. Umbrella Corporation not only has a large number of fighters and logistical personnel, but also has gathered a considerable number of high-end talents.
"You uneducated idiots, you don't know that many chemicals are added to gasoline and diesel, and they all have a shelf life."
Some young drivers also agreed with his point of view and nodded in agreement, which made the team leader who was still watching the excitement come over and scold them angrily, saying:
Lyon withdrew his attention and didn't feel anything about his subordinates' discussions. However, the team leader still had some vision and his guess was similar to what he thought.
No matter how anxious or reluctant he was, Iron Wolf Frank knew very well that without the help of Leon and others, they would not be able to clear out the fortress-type zombies.
The drivers who were scolded by the team leader were unable to refute and gradually began to discuss other things in a low voice.
Everyone was watching the shocking scenes below, but Leon had already recorded them with a camera.
"What are you going to do next, Mr. Custer?"
Iron Wolf Frank found him again at this time
The captain had a serious expression, but there was no expression on his handsome face, and nothing could be seen in his calm eyes.
"Mr. Custer, I want to talk to you."
