Chapter 52: Sweeping the Bed Host City (Part 2)
Under the bright spring sun with cherry blossoms in full bloom, a small group of "Old Japanese Imperial Army" appeared on the empty and messy streets.
——With the clatter of tracks on the road, about a small group of "pseudo-Japs" carrying 38 caps, grenade launchers and Type 100 submachine guns followed a Type 94 "Bean Chariot", cautiously Push forward. Behind him was a pickup truck equipped with a heavy machine gun.
Although their mere size of a few dozen people seems a bit lacking in momentum, this is already the largest force that can be dispatched at present.
——No way, although Takagi Soichiro's "Concerned for the Country Isshinkai" seems to be extraordinary, in fact it is just a small local group, with a total of more than a hundred official members, even if their family members and relatives are included. , a total of only more than four hundred people. At present, the most we can provide for Takagi Soichiro is about two hundred soldiers - this already includes middle school students, retired people, and young and middle-aged women!
As for the citizens who fled from nearby areas and took refuge at Gao Cheng's house... Well, because Gao Cheng's house was busy analyzing the world situation last night and was busy rummaging through boxes and pawning things this morning, they didn't have time to go out to save people. The tent area set up in the courtyard of Gaocheng Family currently only accommodates a total of more than a hundred refugees who came here on their own initiative. Moreover, these people are either rebellious or out of their minds. Being able to stay quietly is the limit. It is best not to expect them to obey orders and fight bravely... So before the training camp, there is no need for these at the moment. people.
Therefore, after changing into the firearms uniform of the Japanese army in World War II, Takagi Soichiro finally only managed to gather the mobile strength of three squads, totaling about 160 people. One of the teams was led by his wife Yuriko Takagi, who was responsible for staying at the mansion and watching over the evacuated citizens.
The other two teams that went out to raid were commanded by Soichiro Takagi and his adjutant, Tetsutaro Doi, an old friend who had known each other for more than 20 years. Each team carried an [automatic pawn machine] and an [era automatic]. Vending machines], so that you can cash out your belongings and buy ammunition and ordnance on the spot - it is always easier to bring back a pile of banknotes than carrying bulky belongings. In addition, each team is also equipped with a [shrinking light] to clean up the abandoned cars piled up on the road like a mountain of garbage, opening a safe passage for the team... Doraemon, Wang Qiu and other time travelers, naturally They acted together with Soichiro Takagi. In addition, Hirano Toda, Busujima Saeko, Miyamoto Masaru and others also volunteered to follow.
It seems that due to the previous fierce battle near Gaocheng's house, the zombies wandering in the nearby neighborhood have been sucked out. After the two teams of attack troops left Gao Cheng's house separately, the journey was quiet. They saw cherry blossoms flying on the roadside, but no zombies were seen.
It's eerily quiet and eerily clean.
Not far from Gao Cheng's house, there is a shopping street lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom. At a glance, many store doors are still open. The interiors and store entrances may be a little messy, but there are no zombies and no blood stains. However, some corners are already filled with cherry blossoms.
——Probably, maybe, the blood stains were covered up by the petals of the cherry blossoms!
This excessively quiet scene made everyone feel uneasy. However, looking at the peaceful scene of dancing cherry blossoms and the clean blue sky, some people can't help but deceive themselves and imagine that everything they have experienced before seems to be just a nightmare?
Well, unfortunately, the cruel facts prove that in this zombie-infested apocalypse, the quieter and cleaner the place, the more dangerous it is. Don't think that just because this place is clean and safe, it means there is no such thing!
——When Soichiro Takagi ordered everyone to disband and began to search stores from house to house and collect all kinds of property, the danger came quietly
With a crisp sound, Ma Tong carried a handful of 38-meter lids and kicked open the half-open door of a jewelry store. After observing carefully for a while, he stepped on the thick wooden floor and entered. Indoors - According to her experience in playing Resident Evil games, generally speaking, zombies in the building will immediately notice the living person coming in, and then rush over with a hoarse voice. For adventurers, it is equivalent to an advance warning. .
Now, since I didn't hear any strange noises after opening the door, it seems like this store should be safe?
Well, you have to be careful, maybe there are zombies trapped in the room? Therefore, when you open the door and search for items, you still can't relax.
——Ma Tong, this athletic rotten girl, may look carefree at ordinary times, but once she cheers up, she will become very careful.
At first glance, this jewelry store is empty and there is no one around, but it is quite magnificent and the decoration and furnishings are very elegant. Although many counters showed signs of being smashed and robbed, it must have been a mob robbery when the chaos first broke out.
However, this zombie crisis has just begun after all, so there are still a lot of gold, silver and gem jewelry left in the store. In the center of the store, there is also a tall display cabinet, which contains a pair of gold vases inlaid with colorful gems, which must be the treasure of the store. It's a pity that the display cabinet is made of special tempered glass, which cannot be penetrated by bullets... But this did not trouble Ma Tong at this time - she took out a [penetration ring] that she got from Doraemon. 】, clicked on the display cabinet, and a huge round hole was opened in the tempered glass. He stretched out his hand and easily took out the gold vase.
As for the remaining gold and silver necklaces, gemstone rings, and even platinum jewelry on the counter, Ma Tong did not rush to search for them. Instead, he went to the small door connecting the store and the bathroom, slowly unscrewed the door lock with his left hand, and then fiercely He stretched out his hand and pushed hard, but his body jumped back two steps, deliberately keeping the distance between him and the wooden door - I learned this trick from zombie movies, because there are always a few extras who die due to similar carelessness. .
Sure enough, there was a figure standing in front of the toilet. After hearing the sound, he turned his head and showed his dead gray face and shriveled skin in front of Ma Tong... After smelling the scent of a living person, the zombie suddenly It became lively and energetic, stretched out its skinny claws and quickly grabbed at her.
Bang! ——With the sound of San Ba Da Gai's gunshot, the hot bullet hit the zombie's chest, and the powerful kinetic energy knocked it back several steps.
"...Ouch..." - But because it missed the head, the zombie locked in the bathroom only paused for a moment before letting out a low howl. With a putrid smell in his hands, he continued to charge towards Ma Tong. Came over, as if nothing was affected!
However, Ma Tong had already been prepared for this - at the same time as she fired the shot, she immediately closed and pushed up the bathroom door. Only the zombie that had lost its mind was still beating the wooden door inside, making loud noises.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Hey! Senior Ma Tong, how are you doing here?" Wang Qiu appeared outside the store at some unknown time and asked her.
"...It's okay! Most of the jewelry is still there. There is only one zombie in the store, and I have locked it in here."
As Ma Tong replied, he dragged a single sofa and blocked the bathroom door, "...how was your harvest?"
"...Not bad! I just robbed a pet store. There was not a single person or zombie inside. It seems that they are not interested in animals."
Wang Qiu took out a mini [automatic pawn machine] from his backpack, then quickly opened the cabinets and took out the gem necklaces, pearl earrings, diamond rings and ivory hairpins inside, as well as the gold that Ma Tong had just stolen. All the vases were thrown in, "... I didn’t expect that those cats, dogs, parrots, etc. are actually quite expensive. A husky can be exchanged for 200,000 yen... Of course, it is definitely incomparable with your place... Maybe just in this place. In the jewelry store, we can collect 100 million yen!”
However, before he finished speaking, a sharp scream like the sound of dolphins came from the street outside, indicating that the Japanese devils' raid on the shopping street was not going smoothly. The two people immediately turned their heads and headed out the window, and immediately saw a scalp-numbing scene.
——As the two "pseudo-Japanese soldiers" ran into the street howling in despair, hundreds of zombies followed them and poured out from a narrow alley across the street, filling the street in an instant! Looking from a distance, there are densely packed human heads. The faces that were as pale as evil ghosts, ferocious and terrifying, kept emitting whispers and roars that seemed to come from the abyss of demons, making everyone sweat in their hearts.
What's even worse is that the "Bean Chariot" blocking the alley was suddenly overwhelmed by the tide of zombies. The two crew members only had time to retract into the cabin and close the cover. Before they could start the vehicle, they were surrounded. Although the vehicle-mounted machine gun immediately spit out strings of flames and tore the zombies into pieces, the road was still unable to be cleared for a while. On the contrary, more zombies are still coming one after another, shaking the too-light Bean Chariot violently, and even climbing on the body, and are about to overturn this ultra-light tank to the ground!
"...Oops! Nobi Nobita and Kokawa Kofu are still in that tank!" Wang Qiu couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.
——When we were at Gao Cheng's house before, everyone was troubled by the question of who should be the tank driver.
In fact, the driving difficulty of the Type 94 Bean Tank is completely incomparable with modern tanks: the tank driving system during World War II, except for the weird ones in France who used steering wheels. Other countries, including Japanese tanks, basically use operating levers. To a certain extent, as long as someone can drive a crawler tractor or bulldozer, if they spend an hour or two on the truck and count them, they will be almost 60% proficient in this thing. As for how to set off the cannon? Well...the early model bean tanks had no cannon at all! The only weapon is a machine gun...
The real question is, how do you get modern adult Japanese into old World War II tanks?
——Before the war, the Japanese who lived a hard life were still truly "little Japan". For example, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku was only 1.6 meters tall. And small Japanese soldiers of 1.3 and 1.4 meters are common in the army, so the compact tank cockpit is designed according to the smallest standard... But after the war, with a large amount of milk and Nourished by whale meat, the average height of modern Japanese has been rising steadily, and has already surpassed the Chinese on the mainland. It is not that easy to find a group of small people at random...< br>
Therefore, since most of the members of the "Concerned for the Country" are tall, muscular men and have never learned the bone-shrinking technique, they are unable to get into the cockpit and turret of the Ji Dou tank. In the end, four elementary school students from another world, including Nobita Nobita and Shizuka Minamoto, had to drive the tank. After experiencing so many adventures, they had even driven a spaceship, so tanks were no problem... but they were almost killed by zombies. Flooded! !
Fortunately, the soldiers who were originally scattered in various shops rushed out of the streets after hearing the sound and fired fiercely at the zombies with hundreds of submachine guns. And the pickup truck carrying the Maxim heavy machine gun also drove over immediately, raining bullets on these zombies...
After a short stalemate, since flesh and blood were ultimately no match for steel and gunpowder, and no matter how many zombies there were, they could not outnumber the bullets, this wave of zombies was finally repelled amidst the hail of bullets, and the unlucky Bean truck The tank was able to run over the corpses lying on the ground, and many body parts and pieces of meat were hanging on it to stand out from the encirclement... However, the armor plate was already full of craters and bullet marks, and the turret was also flattened.
Fortunately, the bullets of the Bai-type submachine gun are not lethal enough, and the Maxim heavy machine gun on the bed of the pickup truck does not use steel-core bullets. Otherwise, the two elementary school students in the bean tank would have been beaten into wonton fillings... No way, the bulletproof performance of Japanese tanks during World War II was so scummy that even 7.62mm steel-core bullets could penetrate it! It's a pity that the party-state's army was even worse in those days, and couldn't even afford steel-core bullets...
Back to the subject, Wang Qiu and Doraemon first dragged the shocked Nobita Nobita and Kogawa Koo out of the Bean Chariot, and then treated a few unlucky guys who were scratched or bitten by zombies. Finally, based on everyone's opinions, they With rhetoric and speculation, we can barely piece together the origin of this wave of zombies:
Previously, when zombies broke through the Gobetsu River defense line and poured into this shopping street. About a few hundred people hid in a sturdy and thick warehouse, then locked the door and blocked the windows, thinking they could sit back and relax for the time being. Unexpectedly, there were infected people bitten by zombies among them, and after all the passages were blocked, they suddenly attacked... As a result, the temporary fortifications and thick houses originally used to resist the zombie attacks suddenly became It became a death trap that left the survivors with no way to escape. Before they could even open the doors and windows to escape, they were all killed by the zombies.
Then, just now, in order to search for property, two members of the "Concerned for the Country" rashly used guns to open the big lock on the iron door of the warehouse, and released hundreds of zombies crowded inside. Come out...well, it's such a sad story...
But it is precisely because of this that there are so few zombies on this shopping street, and there are almost no signs of fighting or destruction in the shops, allowing the people of the "Concerned for the Country" to quickly plunder a large amount of property-electrical appliances, food, Toys, flowers, pets, books, newspapers, jewelry, handicrafts, bicycles, vehicles parked on the street... Relying on the [automatic pawn machine] that never refuses comers, this team quickly made a billion yen in revenue. Next, after the shopping street was cleared, Takagi Soichiro ordered the troops to assemble again, form a search formation, and advance towards the next raid target-Higashisaka Shopping Center. And met the first survivor halfway...
