Chapter 403 Fierce battle at the military port

The closest point of Sakhalin Island to Hokkaido is called Cape Krillion. From there, it only takes 42 kilometers to reach Hokkaido through the Zongya Strait.

It takes about 320 kilometers to go south along the coastline from Holmsk to Cape Krillion. On the way, there is only a port city in Nevelsk, and the rest are some small villages and towns.

Such a short distance, even with the time it takes to eliminate the zombies in the cities and towns that pass by on the road, it only takes a little more than a day from Kholmsk to Cape Krillion, it seems that it should be easy.

However, after discussing with Feng Kuang, Shi Jian and Feng Kuang felt that going directly to Cape Crillion was not the most appropriate.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the lack of ships to cross the sea.

Holmsk is a relatively important port city in Sakhalin Island, and no intact ships have been found here, let alone Neversk in the south.

Neversk is not big, with a population of just over 1, and its importance is far less than that of Holmsk. No matter from which point of view, it is unlikely that intact ships can be found here.

It is true that Zhang Weiqiang and his son can make boats, but what Shi Jian needs now is to cross the strait of more than 40 kilometers, not for fishing at the seaside. of.

Both Shi Jian and Feng Kuang agreed that only by finding intact ships left over from the old era would it be safer to cross the sea, and self-made ships became the second option.

Of course, there are many ships left over from the old era, but those that can cross the ocean are really rare. At least here in Holmsk, Shi Jian did not find any.

However, in the southeast of Holmsk, there is a place that is likely to gain something, and that is Korsakov, Maoziguo's naval base.

Korsakov is an important port city on Sakhalin Island, the second largest city after Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where Maozi Kingdom's naval base was built.

Although it is the second largest city, the population here is actually not large, only about 4 people, which is not much different from Holmsk.

This is actually quite normal. After all, the entire population of Sakhalin Island is only 50, and the capital Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk accounts for two-fifths. How many people can there be in other cities?
In the meeting room, Shi Jian explained the above reasons, and finally concluded: "Since this is Maoziguo's naval base, maybe we can really find a suitable ship, so I plan to come here to try."

Xia Qianhe raised an objection and said, "Vladivostok is also the military port of Maoziguo. Didn't we find a ship there? I think it's better to let Wei Qiang and the others build the ship instead of messing with the zombies there."

From Kholmsk to Korsakov, you need to go through Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which once had a population of 20 and will be the most dangerous place in this trip.

"Vladivostok didn't find any other reason. It's because our Chinese government bombed the place. Not to mention the ship, we didn't even find a map. But Korsakov is different. Maybe he can find a suitable one. The boat." Feng Kuang still supported Shi Jian as always.

"That's right," Shi Jian said, "after all, not all ships are placed in the sea, and some small boats will be placed in the dock. If we are lucky, we should be able to find a suitable one. Even if there is no power, the hull is definitely much safer than our self-made ones by paddling."

Hearing what Shi Jian said, Xia Qianhe couldn't resist anymore. After all, it was Shi Jian who crossed the sea, not him. If the boat he made really disintegrated halfway, it would be Shi Jian who endangered his life.

"And no matter what, it's better to clean up the zombies in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. It's still too close to us, but it's only over 100 kilometers away." Shi Jian added.

The route has been determined, and the next step is to study the action plan.After some deliberation, it was finally decided that [-] combat team members would accompany Shi Jian to head east via Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Korsakov.

In addition to weapons supplies, the car also had a generator and a woodworking lathe. If nothing was found in Korsakov, Zhang Weiqiang and his son who accompanied the team would make wooden boats by themselves.

In the next few days, the Chang'an tribe began various preparations. In order to ensure the safety of Holmsk, Shi Jian deliberately led the team south along the coastline, arrived at Wenwelsk, and cleaned up the zombies there.

Wenwelsk, which used to have more than [-] people, now has less than a thousand zombies. The other people don't know whether they mutated during the escape, or were used as food by the zombies in the city.

This number of zombies was no longer taken seriously by the Chang'an tribesmen. After they eliminated the zombies in the fastest time, they began a routine search and inspection.

The results of the search did not come as a surprise to Shi Jian, as no usable ship was found in the entire city, which made him more determined to go to Korsakov.

Shi Jian led the team to clean up a town in the south of Wenwelsk, and then led the team back north to Kholmsk. There is no point in going further south. There are no villages or towns on the map. .

Back in Kholmsk, Shi Jian led the people to start the overhaul of the vehicles to ensure that the vehicles used would not break down again on the road.

Every day, Shi Jian would get up at dawn and return home only after dark, so he hardly had time to spend with his wife and children.

However, Xia Qing and Li Yeyue supported him very much and never uttered any complaints in Shi Jian's ears.Whenever Shi Jian came home, Li Yeyue would give him a massage to relieve his fatigue, and Xia Qing, regardless of her pregnancy, took good care of Shi Qiong, so that the child who could walk would not bother her father.

Finally, all preparations were completed. Shi Jian bid farewell to his lovely wife and headed east with [-] combatants in ten cars.

From Kholmsk to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, there is a direct railway in the middle, and the distance is the shortest. However, without a train, Shi Jian can only choose a more winding road. For this reason, he will walk nearly [-] kilometers the distance.

Although I have walked these roads, it only took a little over four hours to reach Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which happened to be noon.

At this time, it has entered April, the snow and ice on the road have melted, and the fields on both sides are also green, and the whole world is a thriving scene.

On the way, I passed through two small towns, which were already dilapidated, with a large number of houses collapsed, which was extremely inconsistent with the surrounding environment.There were only 29 zombies in the two towns together, and they were wiped out without any effort.

However, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk was completely different from those two small towns. As soon as the convoy entered the edge of the city, they heard the roar of zombies, and the number was not small.

The area of ​​Nanchang Sakhalinsk is not small, but the buildings here are mostly low-rise buildings, unlike counties with the same population in China, high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere.

Here, four-story buildings are already the tallest buildings, most of which are two-story buildings, and there are even many bungalows.

Shi Jian likes this kind of building very much, not for anything else, just because it is much easier to clean up the zombies, as long as he shoots the zombies outside through the window, there is no need to climb the stairs like in China.

However, because of the large area of ​​Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, only half of the city was cleared until sunset.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Jian ordered all the troops to evacuate the city, and went to the road outside to wait for the zombies to throw themselves into the net.

Everything was rehearsed. After sunset, the remaining zombies in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk ran out and attacked Shi Jian and others on the road.

The number of zombies is not small, and there must be more than ten thousand by visual inspection, but in the face of strong firepower, they were all killed.

Shi Jian asked Feng Chen to count the ammunition, and the day and night fighting only consumed a quarter of the ammunition.

"Well, yes, if this continues, after Korsakov, there will be half of the ammunition left." Shi Jian said with satisfaction.

That night, Shi Jian did not let the team go to the city to rest, but made do with the car overnight, and at dawn the next day, they went south along the highway and went straight to Korsakov, a hundred kilometers away.

"Everything is going well, we are going to Korsakov soon, tell the family that there is no need to worry." Shi Jian said to Feng Kuang in Kholmsk through the car radio.

When Feng Kuang heard that everything was going well here in Shi Jian and there was no danger, he finally let go of his heart and said, "Okay, I will inform other people in a moment. Since Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk has been cleaned up, it seems Korsakov is also in no danger, good luck in advance!"

Shi Jian laughed and said, "Don't worry, my luck has always been good. I believe I will definitely find the ship in Korsakov!"

"I hope so." Feng Kuang also replied with a smile.

Not only the two of them, but also the fellow fighters are in a very relaxed mood now. Now that the largest city has been cleaned up, the remaining Korsakov with only 5 people is no big deal.

However, what they didn't expect was that in this port city with less than 4 people, Maoziguo's naval base would actually have far more zombies than Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

The [-]-kilometer journey can be easily reached in just over an hour. As soon as Shi Jian finished talking with Feng Kuang, he could see Korsakov's building in the distance.

"Attention all units, we will arrive at Korsakov immediately!" Shi Jian informed other people in the car through the walkie-talkie.

"Mr. Shi, don't worry, the battle will be completed in an hour!" Yi Hengge said jokingly.

Shi Jian smiled when he heard the words. Although it was an exaggeration to finish the battle in an hour, in his opinion, it took only one day to clean up the place. After all, Korsakov was far smaller than South Sakhalin in terms of area and population. sk.

Although he thought so, Shi Jian still said seriously: "Don't be careless, be careful!"

Yi Hengge stuck out his tongue after hearing this, and said to Zhang Jian beside him: "Mr. Shi is like this, he is too careful, how can there be more zombies here?"

Zhang Jian is not as exaggerated as Yi Hengge, he is much more stable than him, he said in a deep voice: "Boss Shi is right, it's better to be careful, after all none of us know what's going on here."

Yi Hengge curled his lips disapprovingly, pointed at the buildings on the side of the road and said, "Look, there is no place like this where zombies stay, they are all dilapidated like this."

Zhang Jian looked on both sides of the road, and saw that the buildings on both sides had collapsed. It really didn't look like there were zombies living there, but he still didn't take it lightly.

The convoy officially drove into Korsakov and stopped. Everyone got out of the car and began to inspect buildings one by one.

Indeed, as Yi Hengge said, there are really no shadows of zombies here, not even the foul smell.

However, as the team continued to deepen, the number of zombies in the buildings on the side of the road began to increase. Almost every house saw one or two zombies. There were also many zombies under the shadow of the houses, and the cleaning speed immediately slowed down. down.

"What's going on here?" Shi Jian secretly guessed.

Judging from the summary of the situation obtained by the various teams, at least nearly a thousand zombies have been eliminated, and they have only walked through one street, and they are far from the center of Korsakov, and the naval base is even closer. far away.

By noon, the northwest of the city was finally cleaned up.Although only a quarter of the block was cleared, the number of zombies eliminated reached a terrifying [-].If calculated according to this ratio, there will be at least [-] zombies here, which is equivalent to the original population, and the area of ​​​​the naval base is not included.

"It's not right," Shi Jian told Feng Kuang of his doubts through the radio, "Why are there so many zombies here?"

After listening to what Shi Jian said, Feng Kuang was also taken aback. This number is completely out of common sense. This is the first time he has heard that there will be more zombies than before the end of the world.

"It's really not possible, just slow down, and don't let anything happen." Feng Kuang warned.

"Well, I will be careful. If it doesn't work, I will retreat to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. It's the same if I come back tomorrow to kill, but it will take a few more days." Shi Jian accepted Feng Kuang's suggestion.

After the call was over, Shi Jian notified everyone on the walkie-talkie, telling them to proceed step by step and slowly, and there must be no rash advances.

Now everyone has discovered that this place is different from other places. Among other things, the roar of zombies rising and falling all over the city has already shown that there are definitely not as few zombies here as they imagined.

The cleaning work continued, and the direction of cleaning was also turned to the northeast. The situation there was similar to the situation in the northwest. There were not many zombies at all, and because of the direct sunlight, the zombies all returned to the house, and the speed of cleaning was slow again. Not a lot.

The weather at the seaside changes as soon as it is said. The northeast direction has not been cleaned up yet, and the sky suddenly turns cloudy, and it looks like it is about to change.

"Retreat immediately!" Shi Jian ordered decisively.

People quickly returned to their cars, ready to evacuate out of the city.

But it was a bit late now, and the sky was already covered by dark clouds before the convoy drove out of the city.

In order to increase the cleaning speed, Shi Jian directly divided the team into ten teams, and each team was equipped with a car, but in this way, the forces were dispersed.

If the weather was fine, they would not be in any danger at all, but now the weather has changed suddenly, and as soon as people got into the car, zombies rushed out of the house and surrounded the convoy.

Gunshots continued to ring out from all corners of the northeast area of ​​Korsakov. Almost at the same time, all ten teams fought fiercely with the zombies.

"All vehicles go back on the same road!" Shi Jian took the time to call through the walkie-talkie, and then drove the car along the original road.

Fortunately, Shi Jian's strategy was to clean up while walking, and now he has left a way out for himself, otherwise he would really fall into the siege of zombies.

The speed of zombies is naturally a disadvantage. Compared with cars, they can only eat the smoke. They watched Shi Jian drive the car and disappeared at the end of the street, roaring in vain.

Shi Jian soon arrived at the main road out of the city, there were already several cars waiting there, and in the south of the main road, more and more zombies were rushing northward. There must be several thousand of them.

Just when Shi Jian was about to retreat after all the cars had assembled, Yi Hengge's voice suddenly came from the intercom.

"Mr. Shi, our car broke down!"

When Shi Jian heard the news, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"No. [-] Street! There are still about three kilometers away from the meeting point!" Yi Hengge replied anxiously.

"Abandon the car! Everyone run over here!" Shi Jian ordered decisively.

After hearing Shi Jian's order, Yi Hengge shouted without hesitation: "Everyone get out of the car and run over!"

People immediately got out of the car and ran quickly to the assembly point, and about two kilometers behind them, a group of zombies were chasing them along the road.

After Shi Jian told Yi Hengge to abandon the car, he immediately ordered the people in other vehicles to get out of the car and build a defense to block the zombies coming from the south, and give Yi Hengge and the others time to join everyone safely.

The vanguard of the zombies in the south was only more than a kilometer away from the convoy. Shi Jian directly asked Feng Chen to set up the mortar, and opened fire as soon as the zombies came within range.

The sound of cannons kept ringing, and the zombies in the south were bombarded to pieces, but they couldn't stop them from attacking. More and more zombies joined the ranks of attacking.

Not only the main road, but also zombies began to appear in the streets on both sides. The situation became more and more critical, but Yi Hengge's team hadn't returned yet.
