Chapter 48 Iron Mine Town
At eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Yizhou and Zhang Xin had already arrived in the western town. As expected, no pursuers caught up. Instead, the rain began to get heavier. The sky and the earth were white, and the visibility was only about a few dozen meters. In fact, this is good news, because the heavier the rain, the smaller the chance of mechanical monsters coming out.
They are now entering from the eastern entrance of the town, which leads directly to the back street of the town.
Tang Yizhou has long had a general understanding of the layout of the town.
The entire town is about five kilometers long from east to west and three kilometers long from north to south.
There are four streets from north to south, and about five to eight streets from east to west (because I can't see carefully).
To the east of the town is a residential area, in the middle is a municipality, school, shopping mall, square, park, cinema, and to the west are several factories and suspected steel mills. To the southwest is the suspected iron ore discovered by Zhao Wude and others.
The terrain of the town is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, but the span of the high and low does not exceed ten meters.
"Our current location is the area where the mechanical wild dog tribe once occupied, but it has been plundered by Zhao Wude and others, so it is relatively safe."
While talking to Zhang Xin, Tang Yizhou pushed the cart and entered a double-storey villa with a wide view and a complete double-storey villa. Next, they need to take a break and make some preparations, especially Zhang Xin only has a fifteen-meter battery limit, so they have to recharge their power in time.
In addition, because it was raining, he had untied the crossbow strings of the crossbow No. 2 and crossbow No. 3 before and dried up. If he wanted to fight, he had to re-bound them.
When I entered the villa, I saw a mess and no valuable supplies. After all, this place was first destroyed by mechanical wild dogs, and then plundered by Zhao Wude and others. It would be strange if there was anything.
However, Tang Yizhou still took Zhang Xin to check the villa inside and out, then untied the rainproof tarpaulin on the trolley and took out some women's clothes from it. Well, these were all found from the small farm building. Some of them belonged to Lin Na's mother, and some of them were just Lin Na's own.
He had no hobbies, but these clothes were good in material and could use even a strip of cloth to survive in the wild, so he kept them with him.
"Go and find a room to change it. Next we are going to start to act. You should be careful to keep warm."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhang Xin was stunned and didn't feel embarrassed. It's the end of the world, what else should I do?
Tang Yizhou quickly assembled the crossbow strings of the No. 2 and No. 3 crossbows, then moved the trolley to the second floor of the villa, and moved some wooden furniture to several nearby houses, blocking the doors and windows of the villa, and even the wooden stairs upstairs were cut off with an axe.
Everything is ready, Zhang Xin has changed into dry clothes.
"This crossbow is for you to use for the time being."
Tang Yizhou pointed to the crossbow No. 2, "Now you can learn about its ballistic trajectory. I will only give you a chance to test the fire with three shots. Next, you need to use this crossbow to cover me."
While speaking, Tang Yizhou skillfully skewed the No. 2 crossbow and pressed a steel crossbow arrow. Zhang Xin couldn't pull the crossbow at the moment, so in fact she only had one chance to shoot, which made her archery talent look at.
"good!"
Zhang Xin didn't say much, and went forward and struggled to lift the No. 2 crossbow. After all, it was more than 70 pounds.
Seeing her hard work, Tang Yizhou quickly moved a wardrobe and placed it flat on the ground to facilitate Zhang Xin to shoot horizontally. This was the only way she could use it.
Zhang Xin was very quick. She first lay down and tried the angle, then got up and adjusted it. Finally, she took a torn quilt and spread it on the wardrobe to prevent it from feeling uncomfortable after lying for a long time.
This detail seems pretentious, but it is necessary, because lurking sniping requires not only will, but also hardware facilities. Otherwise, maintaining the same posture for a long time may affect the performance of sniping at critical moments.
Anyway, from the moment, Zhang Xin's performance is quite capable.
After ten minutes, Zhang Xin aimed and adjusted in various ways, and then whispered: "Mr. Tang, what I want to aim at is the threshold of the three-story house across the street. Can you see?"
Tang Yizhou immediately took the telescope to observe, and after a moment, he ran out in person, confirming that there were no mechanical monsters nearby, and at the same time roughly measured the distance.
"Yes, but the distance is a bit far, more than eighty meters, are you sure?"
"Just try."
Zhang Xin replied calmly, looking very confident. A few seconds later, she suddenly pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out in the rain and fog, hitting the position about one meter away on the left side of the threshold.
Tang Yizhou was stunned when he held up the telescope. As for it, this is not a standard crossbow, it is his homemade crossbow, sister.
"Sorry, Mr. Tang, I've asked you to have dinner every day these days. In fact, I have also studied the ballistics of your two crossbows, including the place where you ambushed. I also found some small stones, branches, and strips you used to measure distances that day, so I know a little about it."
Zhang Xin got up and explained in a low voice.
"That's fine?"
At this moment, Tang Yizhou received a critical hit in his heart, "You were not a shooting athlete before the disaster, right?"
"Mr. Tang, you are joking. I am just a little employee."
Zhang Xin's expression became dim, and Tang Yizhou stopped asking questions. He then re-introduced the crossbow No. 2 and handed it over to Zhang Xin for test shot.
And this time, the crossbow arrow accurately hit the door frame, with a distance of more than 80 meters.
This kind of shooting ability will not explain how to kill Tang Yizhou in seconds.
"Very good, don't have to test the shooting anymore, just provide cover for me on this building."
Tang Yizhou once again replaced the No. 2 crossbow with a heavy arrow of leader and handed it to Zhang Xin. He himself wore steel armor, put on a raincoat, put on a good suit, and temporarily covered the No. 3 crossbow with a quilt to prevent the crossbow string from getting damp.
Next he will go to investigate, determine the specific location of the mechanical spider, and then formulate a specific battle plan.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank Zhao Wude and others for their early exploration, which allowed Tang Yizhou to have a rough understanding of some directions, so now he searched along the streets and rows of houses.
About a few hundred meters ahead, the front suddenly became clear, but it was at the center of the town, where there was a very wide central square.
To the west of the square is a cinema, to the north is a comprehensive building of a shopping mall and supermarket, with half of the sign of an old KFC man hanging on it.
To the south should be the Municipal Center and the Police Department.
As for the east of Tang Yizhou, where it is now located, it is a pure residential area.
At this time, through the white rain and fog, he vaguely saw a large collapsed pit in the middle of the central square. Undoubtedly, this is the most likely nest of mechanical spiders.
After observing here for a while, Tang Yizhou found that it should be the most prosperous central area of the town. Not only could it not see a car, but it could not see any metal devices that were once like guardrails and signal lights. Even the houses facing the street were riddled with holes, and many collapsed seats, and all the steel bars inside were missing.
At this point, there is no doubt that a large group of mechanical spiders were entrenched under the square. Zhao Wude and others used the town's house layout to attract monsters to hunt down mechanical spiders who went out to collect metal. Overall, this is really a rich mine.
"In such weather, mechanical spiders will never get out of the ground, so the only way is to enter that big pit."
