The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 81 Modified Fire Truck

"Everyone take turns patrolling and be vigilant. If you find any suspicious people watching us, just shoot them to death!" Zhou Nan suffered a loss once, so he learned his lesson this time.

Naturally, those who were almost killed by Tonio would not be so compassionate. Even Rick, who was always indecisive, nodded in agreement.

Then some people followed Rick to the auto repair shop to look for car repair tools. Karina was the only person here who knew mechanical knowledge, so she also went with Rick and others.

Karina had looked at the model in advance and knew that this fire truck could use 10.00-20 engineering tires. After a purposeful search, they originally wanted to find suitable tires that could run, but they were lucky to find airless honeycomb tires.

Karina immediately decided that this was the right tire. The internal structure of this tire is similar to a honeycomb, and it provides support through a mesh structure. Because of its hollow interior, its support capacity will not be affected even if it is punctured.

However, the bulletproof ability of this type of tire is not absolute. Their main advantage is that they can prevent rapid deflation and blowout caused by puncture. Resisting bullet penetration is not their advantage.

Karina looked at the various tools in the repair shop, including bulletproof glass specially customized for vehicles. She felt it necessary to drive the fire truck here to install some additional equipment.

Since the fire truck couldn't move at the moment, Rick and the others had to move it themselves. Rick was pushing the repair tools, while the others were rolling the tires towards the fire truck.

After changing the tire, Karina suggested to Zhou Nan that they drive to the repair shop. Zhou Nan was a little worried that it would delay the progress.

But after Karina suggested that it would not take too much time and could make the car faster and safer, Zhou Nan agreed.

Anyway, it's getting late, and traveling overnight may not improve efficiency much.

After driving the car into the repair shop, Karina first put the spare tire into the fire truck, and then arranged for everyone to remove the foam system in the fire truck, which was the most useless to them.

That thing is very heavy and takes up a lot of space, which seriously affects the power of the fire truck. If it is removed, Zhou Nan and his group will not feel so crowded.

After the dismantling, Karina also removed the sprinkler system inside. They didn’t have any extra water for the zombies to drink!

Then Karina went through the workshop and dismantled the aerial ladder of the same weight. Zhou Nan felt sad when seeing this, because in Zhou Nan's original plan, this super high aerial ladder was to be left to Dell.

In the play, Dale has been keeping watch in his RV. If the elements of Dale + walkie-talkie + ladder are combined together, they will no longer have to worry about the invasion of zombies!

Later, under Zhou Nan's strong persuasion, Karina only dismantled two sections of the ladder, leaving only a height of ten meters, thinking that ten meters was actually enough. Zhou Nan then reluctantly agreed.

Zhou Nan took a test drive and found that even after removing only two sections of the ladder, he could clearly feel that the power of the vehicle had increased significantly!

But Karina was still not satisfied with this. Even if the tires were not blown out, the power of the vehicle was not enough to break through the horde of zombies.

What she wants to do is to build this car into an unstoppable beast, which will bring them greater security!

Karina has two turbines, one large and one small, connected in series. This twin-turbocharged system can provide better performance at different speeds and can inject more fuel for combustion within the limited cylinder volume, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing engine power.

After Karina removed all the pipes, she carefully installed the turbocharger in place.

Carefully aligning each interface to ensure they fit perfectly together, the turbocharger is securely fastened to the engine as the last bolt is tightened.

Next, Karina began installing the cooling system.

The intercooler is precisely placed next to the turbocharger, and the coolant pipes are connected one by one. This system will ensure that the turbocharger will not be damaged due to overheating.

Finally, Karina moved on to the electrical connections, carefully connecting the power cables and sensors to the turbocharger, ensuring each connection was secure.

Finally, considering the load issue, she replaced the parts inside and out, and then reinstalled the engine to the bottom of the vehicle. Karina finally completed her installation!

After the engine test run, the rotor rotated smoothly and without noise, and could run smoothly by inertia.

Karina thought the vehicle was fine, so she invited Zhou Nan to drive it for a try.

Zhou Nan nodded, then he sat in the driver's seat. Harris also took the opportunity to get in the car. He was also very curious about what the car looked like after it was modified!

When the engine started, the sound of the diesel engine was mixed with the sharp whistle unique to the turbine. Zhou Nan also gently pressed the accelerator and drove the car out of the repair shop.

It wasn't until they started running on the road that Zhou Nan immediately felt the difference. The fire truck's response had become noticeably more sensitive, and its power was strong and powerful, like an awakened beast, ready to go.

Zhou Nan tried to speed up, and the turbocharger intervened almost instantly. The fire truck rushed forward as if it was being pulled.

Zhou Nan only needs to step on the accelerator to experience the exciting feeling of being pushed on the back. You know, it is incredible that he can still have such performance when the fire truck is full of supplies!

"Oah! This is so wonderful, can I experience it?" Harris shouted excitedly.

Zhou Nan rejected him.

Then, with Harris's reluctant eyes, Zhou Nan drove the car back to the repair shop and signaled Karina to continue.

Karina thought about it, and then welded a steel plate more than one meter high to the front of the car, forming an inverted V shape, which could effectively push the zombies to both sides and break through the zombie swarm more easily.

After taking out all the baffles in the warehouse, Karina used these bulletproof baffles to madly wrap the entire car!

In other words, this time, even if you are not in the cockpit, your safety can be guaranteed anywhere in the car!

The originally reserved shooting holes were also blocked by Karina, and instead a second layer was installed on top of the vehicle body. This second layer was wrapped with steel plates and bulletproof baffles, and had shooting holes.

In this way, as long as they are fighting on flat ground, they can always be in a position of attacking from above!

However, the weight of these steel plates and baffles may not be obvious individually, but when they are stacked together, it is very terrifying. Zhou Nan felt very sorry that the push-back feeling disappeared, but in exchange for greater safety, this is completely acceptable.

Karina tied anti-skid chains on the tires to prevent the car from skidding after running over the minced meat.

Carina also removed the glass of the fire truck. The original outer layer had been penetrated. Fortunately, it was a double-layer structure, otherwise Zhou Nan and the others would have been finished long ago.

To be on the safe side, Karina installed two new layers of bulletproof glass on the car, and the modification of the car was completed.

Zhou Nan touched the sturdy and reliable outer steel plate of the fire truck with his hand and was amazed. If this car was seen by those fanatical survival enthusiasts, it would definitely drive them crazy!

This car can break through the zombie swarm. It has bulletproof shields to prevent bullets from penetrating the body. The original coating is fireproof. The chassis has a leg structure iron plate that can effectively block mines. It can climb to the second floor along the ladder and launch a counterattack.

Now, the only thing this car fears is super weapons like rockets. As for those small pistols, it can be completely immune to them. This is simply a doomsday chariot!

Since a lot of useless objects were removed from the fire truck, the space inside was much larger, so after the supplies in the cold storage truck were transferred, there was still plenty of space, which was enough for everyone to squeeze in and rest tonight.

But before that, they still need to eat to keep themselves energetic!

Hannah lit a bonfire and then took out some sausages to grill. Although they might be a bit simple, they were much better than what some people eat!

The spy of the Nighthawk Society hid in the cold and damp ditch on the side of the road. He watched every move of Zhou Nan and his group. As he watched, he suddenly felt that the bright bonfire might be very warm.

The faint aroma of grilled sausages wafted through the air. He swallowed and muttered to himself.

"What's that delicious smell? Grilled sausage? I used to hate grilled sausage."

"If they could give me a bite to eat right now, I'd rather die than not. It's so damp here, I feel so uncomfortable, and I'm also so hungry."

The spy kept saliva secreting from his mouth, and then opened his pocket, which contained three biscuits. This was the reward that Tonio gave him for spying.

He tried to pick up the biscuit and put it in his mouth, but because he had been in a humid environment for a long time, he only grabbed a ball of biscuit paste!

He frowned, but did not give up the hard-earned food. He put the biscuit paste into his mouth and chewed it. Even the softened biscuits were still very sweet. Before he knew it, he had eaten all three pieces.

But I'm still very hungry.

He suddenly realized that if he continued to work for Tonio like this, he would starve to death. The last time he stalked the police station, he was promised a whole pack of biscuits, but in the end he was only given three because of inaccurate intelligence.

Now, he can't hold it in any longer.

"Tonio, whoever wants to work for you will work for you. I'm leaving now. It's much better to make a living on my own than to be a liar like you!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Shortly after he left, Tonio sent him a communication message.

"What's the situation? Are they still in the repair shop?"

The spy rolled his eyes, a smirk appeared on his lips, and then he answered Tonio's question respectfully.

"Boss, they've already left, and I overheard where they were going. If you ambush them there, they won't be able to react!"

Tonio's breathing quickened. "Tell me, where is it?" he demanded.
