Doomsday rat

"Oh, the anti-Japanese drama...Cut, it's boring..." In the end, Zhang Ke not only did not continue to applaud, but also left with a look of disgust.

"I...you guys deserve to be turned into zombies, let me break my legs one by one and be locked up in the south room to starve to death!" Hong Tao was embarrassed that there was no audience left, and he aimed at filming and television again. of.

If it weren't for those grandsons who acted blindly, how could the future of the motherland despise that period of history so much.Such a good theme of patriotism education has been played badly, it is superfluous to live, and it is not good to die!

"Brother Hong, come down and have a look, a dog was bitten, can you save it?" Cursing, Chu Qiu suddenly ran out of the courtyard out of breath, but unfortunately she didn't come to listen to the landlord's speech Yes, but to save the dog.

"Hurry up and tell Zhang Ke to stay away... If you kill him, it's over, save your ass!" As soon as he heard that a dog had mutated, Hong Tao's hair immediately exploded.Where can I still take care of the lyricism, and even slipped out of the tumbling and crawling, and did not take the spear, but picked up the mountaineering pick and shield.The space in the large courtyard is relatively narrow, and long weapons are not easy to use.

"But, but it hasn't changed... It's just that a large piece of the hind leg was bitten, and when I saw me, I whimpered, so pitiful." Hearing that he was going to kill the dog again, Chu Qiu's expression and asking her to kill her sister with her own hands Almost, the meaning inside and outside the words is rejection.

"Where's the female guy? Where's the female warrior? A worthless thing!" Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense with her, and strode towards the courtyard.

"Huh... this is not scientific..." There was a small white dog lying in the corner of the whole cabinet of a family in the backyard. Hong Tao couldn't tell whether it was a Pekingese or another breed, and it was estimated that the breed was not pure.The point is not the breed, it has a patch of blood on its left hind leg, but the blood has coagulated.

This made Hong Tao very surprised. According to his observation of zombies, there is enough evidence to show that people who have been bitten by them mutate very quickly. It is unlikely that such a large wound has stopped bleeding and has not changed.

"Come here... Come here... Come here... Come here!" In order to determine whether the wound on the dog's leg was bitten by human teeth, Hong Tao grabbed a handful of dog food and tried to tease the puppy, but he was unsuccessful.

It stands to reason that the puppy will not be too easy to believe when it has just been injured, but it is normal.Give it a little more time, show some kindness or something, and it will gradually change.

But where does Hong Tao have such patience, people can't live any longer, and you still take candy.But come, right?Let you taste the taste of mountaineering picks!The leather hooked on the back was pulled out.Dare to open your mouth and bar your teeth, come on, Lu combat boots will serve you!

"Brother Hong, slow down..." Chu Qiu couldn't bear to see the puppy being crushed by the landlord's head with a climbing pick.

"I don't know if it will mutate, why should I slow down? Hold it with my hands? Why don't you hold one for me to see! Brush..." Not only do you have to step on it, you have to pull out the paratrooper knife, ignoring the dog Against the objection, he picked up the blood scab on his leg.

"This matter is troublesome... Why doesn't it change!" Just looking at the wound, Hong Tao knew that it must have been bitten by someone.This man's mouth is not very good, he is missing one of his upper incisors, and other animals don't have this kind of tooth marks.

"Isn't it good to stay the same?" Chu Qiu felt that there might be a problem with the landlord's spirituality. He was not satisfied with the mutation of the human being, and he actually hoped that the animals would also change!

"Of course it's good to stay the same. The problem is that many things that humans can infect will accelerate mutation after they are passed on to animals, and it may become something! You are a nurse anyway, you should understand this?"

Hong Tao is naturally neither neurotic nor masochistic. He is more afraid of animal mutation than anyone else.But this thing is not something that can be stopped by being afraid. It will come no matter how afraid it should be. It is important to understand the rules.

"...Then kill it!" Chu Qiu finally thought about it with his head, and then he was also afraid, and raised his spear through gritted teeth.

"Hey, hey, be merciful... I remember that there is an iron cage in the 52nd courtyard, you go and get it. You have to observe and observe whether it will change, when it will change, and what it will become. You don't like raising children. Animal? Then it's yours to take care of!"

The early autumn is a typical fake love animal. When it is not in the way, she takes care of it. Once it threatens her, she immediately shouts and kills her. It is neither principled nor reasonable. It is all blind obedience.

"Grandpa Hong, it's still you who is amazing, raising a zombie and then a zombie dog!" When the iron cage was dragged into the small courtyard by a flatbed truck, and the little white dog was also locked in the Westinghouse with Chu Xia, Zhang Ke didn't know what to say!

"Have you practiced Feishi Suo? From today onwards, you are no longer a child. Forget your childhood!" He dared to make fun of himself, but Hong Tao made Zhang Ke shut up with a word, and obediently threw stones.

The zombies on the front, back, left, and right have been cleaned up, and the small courtyard is temporarily safe.The looted materials filled the two rooms of the East House, and there was no shortage of everything from food and drink to clothing. Except that they could not go out for shopping and travel, their living standards did not decrease but rose, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Why didn't I play with a bow and arrow in the first place! And the two air guns, why didn't I get them back!" But Hong Tao was very worried, fighting zombies face-to-face is a dangerous job after all, so he ran a little slower today It is likely to hang up in the early autumn of seconds.

She can be heartless, she can't, maybe she is who she is today.The ancients said it well, how can you not get wet shoes when you often walk by the river!I was destined to walk by the river often, and I had to do everything possible to reduce the possibility of wet shoes.

The easiest and most feasible way is to update the weapons, specifically to increase the ranged weapons.The bow and arrow can be used by oneself, and it can be considered to be able to shoot accurately, but unfortunately I don't have it at the moment.

I have guns myself. A few years ago, I bought two gas dogs in order to hunt pheasants, but the investigation in the capital was too tight, and they were all thrown at the homes of friends from other places.Now even if my friend doesn't turn into a zombie, I can't get through it myself. After [-] kilometers, I will hang up before I get the gun.

There should be guns in the police station, but police guns are notoriously weak and can be called smashing guns.Not only the range is short, but the power is still small. It is said that it is not very fatal at a distance of 5 meters. It is difficult to say whether it can pierce the skull with one shot.

Moreover, the effective shooting distance of police pistols is known as 50 meters, but it is actually not easy to hit a moving target at a distance of 10 meters.The plan to venture to the police station to find a gun was just a flash in the pan and was quickly ruled out.

Chapter 027 Steel Crossbow

Even if you really want to use a gun, you can't go to the police station to find it. It's better to find an automatic rifle.That thing Hong Tao knows where there is, but it's a little far away, and he can't go there by himself for the time being.

Since there are no bows, arrows and guns for the time being, can slingshots be made?Hong Tao tried this weapon for three days in a row, and the conclusion was that it worked and it didn't work.The destructive ability of steel balls to skulls is definitely good, but it is not enough to penetrate easily, especially the front.

It is said that this kind of power is enough to deal with living people, and it will definitely make the other party lie down.But it doesn't seem to be very effective when used on zombies. Just cracking or even breaking the bones, as long as the brain inside is not obviously damaged, they are just like nothing, what to do, not annoying!

If we increase the number of pimps, Hong Tao claims that his arms have no supernatural power. Reluctantly pulling away a few times is not only too laborious, but also affects the aiming. His hands are shaking. .

"Let's be self-reliant..." Thinking of having dinner, he couldn't come up with a good source of weapons, so Hong Tao had to choose the most time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not necessarily easy-to-use method, and make it himself!

What are you doing, bows and guns are definitely not good.Although the former has the technology and materials, but basically no one can use it except himself, and it is meaningless to create it.The latter really has no equipment, no materials, and no drawings. Even if it is barely built, it is useless without bullets.

"I've been around for several lifetimes, but it's still easy for you to use!" But there is one thing that Hong Tao can build and use, and it's easy to popularize, that is the crossbow!

Not to mention Hong Tao, as long as you practice a little and shoot a few more times, Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke can use it.Moreover, this thing has the advantage that the power will not be reduced in anyone's hands, and the combat effectiveness will not be affected by technology or strength.

Compared with the previous generations, Hong Tao's method of making crossbows can be said to be a shotgun and a cannon.In fact, there is no condition to make do. At present, there is only one kind of crossbow arm material, leaf spring!

Leaf spring, the full name is leaf spring, commonly known as bow plate.It probably means that several long strips of spring steel plates are stacked together and fixed on the axle to support the carriage.

Previous car suspension systems used leaf springs, known as hard axles.Later, independent suspension, cross-arm, multi-link, etc. were developed, which increased comfort and reduced load capacity.However, trucks and some vehicles that require heavy loads still use hard axles and leaf springs for the rear load wheels.

Since ordinary passenger cars no longer need leaf springs, Hong Tao's house is in the Second Ring Road, and most trucks can't get in, so where can he find leaf springs?The answer is very easy, tricycles, disabled vehicles, and more and more electric old man Le, the suspension system still uses leaf springs.There is no other reason, this thing is simple in structure, cheap in cost and low in failure rate.

"I dismantle, I dismantle, I dismantle and dismantle!" When it comes to car building, Hong Tao can only be a trafficker, but when it comes to car dismantling, he is the commander-in-chief, chief engineer and minor worker.No one needed, he went out alone with tools, dismantled a tricycle and two Old Man Les in two hours, and returned with a load of spring steel plates.

"Grandpa Hong, are you going to make bows and arrows?" Zhang Ke saw the long steel sheet with natural curvature. Although he didn't know what it was, the first thought in his mind was weapons!

"Hey, hey, you guessed half right! Today I'm going to fight at night, and go get the wire spool!" Smart children like everyone, and Hong Tao is willing to teach anyone what he knows if he doesn't want to learn. .So Zhang Ke became a temporary laborer, specializing in serving tea and water delivery tools.

The leaf spring of the tricycle is not the same size as the leaf spring of Laotoule. The tricycle is relatively thin, 6 mm thick, 6 cm wide, more than 80 cm long, and 11 cm high in arc.The old man's music is slightly shorter, more than 70 centimeters long, but it is thicker, with 7 mm.

Which one is best for crossbow arms?Hong Tao didn't know either, so he had to do the same to try it out.The specific method is very simple. First, tie the bow plate to the steel wire to test the tension. If it is too hard, try to make it soft. If it is too soft, add a short bow plate to make it hard.

The actual result was too hard, and Hong Tao was dissatisfied.At this time, it was time for the angle grinder to come into play. After a spark and lightning, the two ends of the 6 cm wide tricycle bow plate became 4 cm wide.

Try again, if it doesn't fit, cut it finer.This work continued until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and the crossbow arm was finally shaped successfully.One is a little longer with a tricycle bow, and the other is a little shorter with an old man's bow.

Next is the crossbow body, which is simpler. Find a 5*10 wooden square and saw it into a length of 80 cm.With the narrow side up, use an angle grinder to create a shallow groove for the bolt.

There is a hole for fixing bolts in the middle of the bow plate, and another hole is drilled below, and two 12 cm long bolts are used to fix the top of the wooden square, and it is properly formed.

The crossbow machine is made with the scraps of the cut bow plate, and it is ground with an angle grinder. It doesn't look like it. As long as you have made match guns, steel ball guns, and spray guns when you are a child, you know how to make a crossbow machine.Wear two thin bolts on the crossbow to fix it on the side, just enough to hang the bowstring, no spring is needed.

First try the effect of the crossbow arm and then discuss details, light weight and ergonomics.

"Bang... 嘡... hum..." The crossbow arrow is the easiest. Hong Tao directly took a stainless steel chopstick and put it on it. Standing five meters away, he pulled the crossbow machine against the courtyard door.

"...wash and sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning!" The chopsticks were nailed to the gate of the courtyard accurately. As for aiming, those are details. What Hong Tao mainly wanted to see was whether the crossbow arms had enough tension.

When he grabbed the end of the chopsticks and stomped on the courtyard gate, he changed from one hand to two hands, and he still didn't pull out the slightest bit, then he basically passed the crossbow arm pulling test.The chopsticks pierced at least two inches in, and penetrated the pine board covered with tinplate. There was no problem in piercing the skull with this strength.

God seems to know that Hong Tao has to work, so it started to rain in the second half of the night, and it not only did not stop but also became heavier in the early morning.Since God didn't want to let him go out, Hong Tao simply followed the will of God and continued to perfect the steel crossbow under the ceiling.

After last night's test firing, the crossbow arm had enough pulling force, but there was a small problem. This pulling force can only be pulled by stepping on the crossbow arm with both hands. What should Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke use, they must not have enough strength.

At this time, there are two solutions, one is to use an eccentric wheel set, and the other is to use a pulley set.In the end, Hong Tao chose a pulley block. Although an eccentric pulley block is more effective, it is also more complicated and not as easy to find as a pulley.

A pulley is welded on both ends of the crossbow arm, and a pulley is also installed on one side at the front third of the crossbow body to form a set of fixed pulleys and movable pulleys on the left and right.

The junior high school physics teacher taught us that the fixed pulley does not save effort, but it can change the direction of the pulling force.The pulleys on both sides of the crossbow body are the fixed pulleys, which change the direction in which the bowstring is pulled back, and become the direction of the crossbow arm pulleys toward the fixed pulleys.

The pulleys at both ends of the crossbow arm are the moving pulleys. The junior high school physics teacher said that the moving pulleys cannot change the direction of the force, but it can save effort.How much do you save?A moving pulley saves half!

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, right? Just four small pulleys and a few dollars can turn a strong crossbow that can shoot through a two-inch plank into a toy that even a teenage child can pull away!

Zhang Ke can indeed pull it apart and lift it up to launch.However, this thing is still too rough, and it is not easy to master the shooting distance without Wangshan, which seriously affects the accuracy.

The following is all the fine work. Find the magnet strip in the door curtain and set it in the groove of the crossbow body to absorb the arrow and prevent it from falling due to movement.Slotting on the crossbow body adds a return spring to further improve the crossbow machine.

Round and polish the wood of the crossbow body, and do several hollowing treatments without affecting the tension of the crossbow arms, so as to reduce the overall weight and adjust the center of gravity as much as possible.After many test shots, I probably found the landing point for a walk, and made a simple mountain look...

The rain had stopped, and lunch was over, and Hong Tao was still busy under the canopy.It is not enough to have a crossbow, you have to have a suitable crossbow arrow.There are only two pairs of stainless steel chopsticks, and they can't be attracted by magnets, so they are useless.

The ground nails used to set up tents in the wild before fishing were good. Of course, the original ones didn’t work. Those ground nails were just make-believe, short and soft, and they couldn’t fix the tent at all when it hit gravel and soil.

The ground nails used by Hong Tao are all custom-made by small processing factories. The half-meter-long structural steel is slightly thicker than chopsticks. As long as it is divided into two parts, and then the round head is ground into a triangular pyramid, the armor-piercing ability has to be improved. times!

Chapter 028

"Bang dang... bang dang..." Just as Hong Tao was concentrating on putting a new trigger on the last steel crossbow, there was a sudden loud crash outside the courtyard gate.

"Don't panic, put on your armor and get your weapons!" Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke, who were doing inventory in the East Room, also heard it, and rushed out to see Hong Tao in a daze.

"Grandpa Hong, give me a use..." Putting on the helmet and goggles as quickly as possible, Hong Tao was about to walk out to the outer courtyard with a mountaineering pick hanging behind his butt and a steel crossbow in his hand.Zhang Ke looked at the crossbow on the stone table, and then at the spear in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, he thought it was too ugly and too low.

"You'd better be patient..." It's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to give the crossbow to Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke, but he can't now, and they must be familiar with it a few times.Immediately use it. When Bao Buqi is nervous, he shoots himself in the back. The ice hockey protective gear may not be able to stop it.

Ladders, or ladders, these two ladders have made great contributions to Hong Tao.It must be zombies who are knocking on the door outside, and you can feel their heavy footsteps without looking.But Hong Tao didn't open the door to meet him, but climbed up the gatehouse along the ladder.

"Oh, isn't this Sixi Maruko from No. 46 in the back? Why are you all running here!" There were five zombies crowded outside the courtyard gate, and Hong Tao couldn't see their faces due to the angle problem. Only the big bald head looked familiar. .

He is a cook. It is estimated that he will eat all the oil and water in the unit by himself, and the fat meat will not be talked about. The big head alone weighs [-] pounds, and the skin of the brain is covered with a thick layer of meat. .

"Huh..." Upon smelling or hearing the movement above, Sixi Maruko raised his head and stared at Hong Tao with a pair of gray-white eyes.It's a pity that it doesn't know how to get up, so it can only keep hitting the door.

"It's just your head!" Hong Tao had already wound the crossbow, looking down to find a zombie to test his power.

"Tong... puff... plop..." At such a close distance, the crossbow arrow made of steel drilled into the big bald head without any delay, and then passed out from the opposite side.Sixi Maruko stopped scratching the wall immediately and fell on his back.

"I'll shoot you first... I'll shoot you again..." Hong Tao was in a good mood to shoot the zombies so easily.

In just a few minutes before and after, five crossbow arrows and five zombies killed one enemy with one shot, without wasting any time.There was neither a splendid melee fight nor a heart-pounding heroic sacrifice, just crouching on the wall with a cigarette in his mouth to do such a big thing.

"Kid, hold it, don't touch the trigger with your fingers, only stick out your index finger when firing!"

Climbing down the ladder, Hong Tao went under the ceiling to get a pair of pliers, and then handed the steel crossbow to Zhang Ke, and repeatedly told him how to use it.Why not give it to the early autumn, it must be gender discrimination.Hong Tao felt that at a critical moment, this woman might not be able to keep the little boy calm.

The next job is to go out and get back the crossbow bolts. They are not disposable consumables. There are only 32 of them in total. You must save them until you find a suitable replacement.

"Brother Hong, where did they come from?" Chu Qiu also came out to collect the crossbow arrows. Her job was to carry a plastic basin with medical alcohol in it. The drawn crossbow arrows should be put into disinfection. The source of the disease, who knows.

At the same time, she didn't forget to use her brain. In the past three days, all the zombies that were visible to the naked eye on the nearby streets were cleaned up, and even the ones in the alley were brought out and killed. Why did five suddenly appear?

"It should have come out from the back alley. I know this big bald man, and he lives next to the public toilet in the middle of the alley. They must have tried to get out to get some sunshine yesterday, so breaking the courtyard door shouldn't be a big problem. Alas, these gang After the guy is fully charged, his joints seem to be a little more flexible and he can walk a lot faster. It seems that we have to change as well. Starting tonight, we will take turns on duty. You and I each have three hours. Zhang Ke sleeps late. 12 o'clock!"

Hong Tao is also thinking about this question, and he already has a general answer.These few zombies are not well protected because they are attracted by the sound of tossing their tools, and there may be more in the future.There is no good way to face this situation. Soldiers will block the water and cover the soil.But you must take early warning measures to avoid being attacked in the middle of the night!

"He's still a child, why don't I replace him..." Chu Qiu agreed with Hong Tao's suggestion, but he was reluctant to let Zhang Ke also work the night shift.

"The beauties are gone in early autumn, where is there any child Zhang Ke, the more children, the more they have to practice. There are only five here today, if it is fifty, we have to run strategically. No one will be able to do it by then. Whoever takes care of it depends on... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

Hong Tao was about to clarify the truth of exercising his muscles to prevent being beaten for the Nth time and Chu Qiu, when he suddenly raised his ears and listened hard with his head turned to the east.The more I listened, the more frowned, but I wasn't sure, so I had to ask Chuqiu.

"...It seems...it's the engine...will the rescue come!" Chu Qiu also put on a similar posture, but only used the other ear, and suddenly exclaimed after a while, with a look of happiness on his face, raised his feet going to run there.

"Hey, come back to me! Rescue for what? Dreaming! Hurry in, hurry, go in!" Actually, there is no need for Chuqiu's help, Hong Tao can hear it now.

The sound was getting closer and closer, the roar of a high-powered engine.However, he was not as ecstatic as in the early autumn, but with a nervous expression on his face, he grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled it into the yard without any reason, and dropped the door bolt.

"Shouldn't we go out to greet him? Zombies definitely can't drive, so it's people who come!" Chu Qiu didn't understand what the landlord meant, but he didn't dare to struggle because of the landlord's methods, so he could only talk and reason.

"Do you really think that everyone is like me, can't you just sit still when you see Miss Hua? Don't forget, no one cares about what you do now. If it's really rescued, it's the same if you can't get out! Don't make a noise... Zhang Ke, bring those two crossbows as well, and I will shoot as soon as I say it, no matter if the opposite is a zombie or a living person, do you hear me!"

As the roar of the engine got closer, Hong Tao's heart became colder.This is by no means the sound of a rescue vehicle, more like a high-powered locomotive.Who would drive a motorcycle to the rescue, and only one!

"Auntie, Grandpa Hong is right. It's written like this in movies and online articles. At the end of the day, people will rob each other and women. There are so many things in our yard, and you are so beautiful. Be careful!" Zhang Ke is more worry-free than in the early autumn. He can take whatever he wants, and he can still do ideological work.

"...Okay, Auntie listens to you! Come on, give me a hand..." In fact, Chu Qiu prefers that the landlord can communicate with him in this way, but unfortunately, a 50-year-old person is not as attractive as a child.

It was indeed a big motorcycle coming from the east, a black knight with a black body, speeding along the north shore of Houhai, but it just stopped at the door of Hong Tao's house.The black knight neither turned off the flame nor took off his helmet, but only lifted the mask, revealing the face of a thin man with a mustache.

"Tud tug tug... Hong Tao, Hong Tao... old bastard... Are you still alive?" Then he shouted while pulling his neck, but his hands and feet did not leave the accelerator or gear, and the motorcycle could rush out at any time.

"Damn you, you bastard, when the hell is there still kung fu!" The courtyard gate opened immediately, and Hong Tao cautiously walked out with a steel crossbow, and the crossbow never left the black knight.

"Fuck, what Sister Shuang said is true, good people don't live long and ruin thousands of years... You really are not dead!" Seeing Hong Tao coming out, the black knight was like a deflated ball, almost from the motorcycle Climbing down, scolding while crawling.

"Wait...Stand don't move! Don't be too busy to get close, it's not that I'm not being righteous, it's that my brother is really slipping his shoulders and can't handle such a big thing. Is there any blood on your body, let those things grab and bite? No?"

Hong Tao immediately stepped back a few steps, the crossbow arrow was still aimed at the black knight, and at the same time, his eyes were scanning left and right, and his ears were all raised, carefully distinguishing the sounds nearby.

Chapter 029

"...Hey, my brother and uncle, I understand what you're saying, I just escaped from the dead, and I didn't have any injuries other than urinating my pants... Are hemorrhoids considered? !" The black knight was not idle, neither was his hands idle, he took off his helmet, but did not dare to move his legs.

"Take it off and take a look!" To talk about his current mood, Hong Tao really wanted to go up and give him a big hug.But reason told him that even if his uncle came, he had to check his identity first.You like to say that chicken thieves are cold-blooded, no negotiation!

"...It's a bit too rude, is it appropriate to be in front of a lady?" The black knight was about to cry, but apart from protesting with his mouth, he really didn't dare to take half a step with his legs.Of course, I don't want to take off my clothes on the street. I just saw the early autumn, so I should be able to avoid it now.

"Take off quickly, don't talk nonsense, I agree for her!" Hong Tao replaced it without waiting for Chu Qiu to express.

"...You're not a goddamn thing!" The black knight had no choice but to open the zipper to take off his motorcycle suit, and he had to raise his hands and slowly turn around until he had a pair of underwear left.

"Come here, come in quickly... Oh, leave the car alone, no one steals it! In early autumn, do you remember who has hot water? Zhang Ke, go get a bottle of Coke, it's cold!"

Hong Tao looked at it carefully. He was more serious than looking at female models. He didn't give the steel crossbow to Chuqiu until he felt that there was no problem. He took a few steps forward and hugged the Black Knight and walked into the yard.

"...I, I... I don't want to fucking live anymore... woo woo woo..." To Hong Tao's surprise, the black knight hugged his shoulders and started crying before he reached the gate of the courtyard.

It is said that women are pitiful when they cry, but in fact, if a man really lets go of crying, then it is called a desolation. The elders in their 30s stood up straighter than Hong Tao, but they were shaking from crying, and they couldn't breathe well.
