Chapter 1500: Chapter 862: Three Routes (3)
When the helicopter engine shut down and the rotating blades came to a halt, Third Uncle, along with Jackals and the others, disembarked with smiles on their faces.
"We did it!" Third Uncle said to Li Yu with a smile after getting off the helicopter.
"Yes!" Li Yu nodded heavily.
But soon, Li Yu spoke again, "Third Uncle,
I have an idea. These nuclear radiation zombies surely aren’t limited to just these.
We need to block the roads leading to Gansheng from these zombies.
So, I have an idea to destroy the roads leading north.
Just now, when you returned, I looked at the map.
There are three roads leading to Gansheng: the middle elevated bridge, the western national highway, and the eastern highway that takes a detour can also reach Gansheng.
These three roads are the necessary paths for zombies to head to Gansheng.
If we destroy them, although we can’t ensure all the nuclear radiation zombies will head north, as during heavy rains, some zombies might cross mountains.
However, crossing mountains requires much more time, maybe ten times more than taking the highway, and the complex mountain forest terrain acts as a barrier to zombies.
If we can destroy these three roads, we can at least ensure most of the nuclear-radiated zombies can’t pass through."
Third Uncle’s smile remained unchanged; he had also been pondering the aftermath of these nuclear-radiated zombies whilst on the helicopter.
Unexpectedly, upon descending, Li Yu had already devised a solution.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I was just thinking about this. You’re right. Here’s what we’ll do: we luckily found some explosives at the military base, tomorrow morning, we’ll bring the explosives, choose the right spots, and blow up those roads.
If I’m not mistaken, that elevated bridge should be an overpass connecting several roads in all directions. I guess with this explosion, the traffic hub will be destroyed."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, let it blow, it’s better to destroy it than let the zombies move in other directions, just seal them in Southern Province."
"Alright. I’ll study the map, check it out early tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, Third Uncle took the map from Li Yu’s hand.
Li Yu then pointed at several places and discussed them with Third Uncle.
Nearby, Jackals and a few others gathered around, and upon learning Li Yu’s idea, they joined in to study appropriate places for tomorrow’s explosion.
Choosing the explosion site is crucial; blowing up on flat ground is pointless. The key is to use the terrain, particularly tunnels — detonating inside a tunnel is the best.
Alternatively, on an overpass, the worst choice would still be a place near a slope, detonating the slope to create a small mound from the landslide.
Lights illuminated inside and outside the cavern.
It took some time to deal with those zombies. Once that was done, Old Lv continued to carry ammunition, and Luo and others pushed back five artillery pieces.
....
AM.
Old Lv and others had already loaded the ammunition onto the trucks.
At the gate location, Li Yu was still discussing with Third Uncle and others about the places to explode the roads tomorrow.
Li Yu yawned and said to Third Uncle, "Alright, tomorrow we’ll primarily check out these eight places, three choices on the east line, two on the middle line, three on the west line.
Third Uncle, I’ll go with you tomorrow."
Third Uncle heard and nodded, saying, "That works."
"Alright, except for those on duty, everyone else should go back to rest. There’s a ton of things to do tomorrow." Li Yu stood up and said to everyone.
The square steel plate cut from the gate now served as their table.
Li Tie also stood up and collected the civilian map.
"Director Li, rest early, I’m going to take a break." Ant said to Li Yu.
"Director Li, I’m heading out."
.....
"Okay." Li Yu said, looking at everyone.
After everyone left, Li Yu looked at the still bright moon in the sky, recalling the day’s events, stretched lazily, and walked into the cave.
