In the heavy rain, the zombies would be greatly strengthened.
Therefore.
Survivors sometimes feared dark clouds, because dark clouds sometimes meant rain.
This rain lasted for over a week.
From the initial drizzle, to the later moderate rain, and now to the pouring rain.
In the heavy rain, the zombies were like mad, tireless beasts, constantly impacting the base walls.
These zombies were so frantic that they used their hands to continuously claw at the concrete wall.
Under the washing of the rain, some parts of the wall were indeed clawed out with a small opening by these zombies.
But after all, it was poured with reinforced concrete.
The opening was tens of centimeters wide, but only one or two centimeters deep.
After clawing inside, it became increasingly difficult for the zombies to open it, because a large amount of rebar and stones were poured inside.
This was the result that these zombies could only achieve after more than a week of non-stop, day and night clawing.
It's just that the width of the wall, after several widenings, has now reached over 4 meters.
That is, over 400 centimeters, according to the speed at which these zombies clawed, if it kept raining, it would take seven or eight years to open the wall.
Li Yu stood on the wall and saw these zombies clawing at the wall, which he wasn't too worried about.
It's just that the zombie corpses below the wall were getting more and more numerous, some had already piled up into Xiao Shan.
Especially at the main gate.
Li Yu thought for a moment, then took out the walkie-talkie and said to Li Hang:
"Xiao Hang, you and Da Pao go to the oil depot, get a barrel of gasoline, there are too many zombie corpses now, we'll burn them."
Li Hang said in the walkie-talkie: "Alright. I'll go now."
He had long wanted to burn these zombies with gasoline.
Gasoline spreading into a sheet and burning these zombies, just thinking about it was exciting.
Torrential rain poured down.
The sky was leaking.
The heavy rain drenched Li Yu's clothes and also soaked the cigarettes in his pocket.
So he put the cigarettes in the guard room, arranging them one by one on the table, waiting for them to air dry naturally.
As soon as he came out of the guard room, he saw Li Hang and Da Pao coming with a barrel of gasoline.
Li Yu nodded and said: "You use the sprayer to spray it into the largest pile of zombies, remember to spray it evenly."
Then he turned his head to look at He Chao and others in the Weng City.
The people staying in Weng City these days, although in a relatively safe place, were less than 5 meters away from the wall, where there were zombies.
And these zombies roared constantly all day long, making them feel as if they were constantly in a pile of zombies.
The large iron gate would also be constantly rammed by zombies, making banging sounds.
However, after so many days, they had adapted a lot.
Li Yu saw no unusual movements inside Weng City, withdrew his gaze, and turned to see that Da Pao and the other had already spread the gasoline.
They were looking expectantly at Li Yu for his command.
Li Yu nodded and said: "When I light it later, try to stand back, you didn't get any gasoline on you, did you?"
Da Pao and the other both shook their heads, their eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.
They also really wanted to see how these zombies would burn to death after this large barrel of gasoline was poured.
Li Yu lit the torch he had just prepared, which had also been soaked in gasoline, and watched as the rain fell on the torch.
Not only did the torch not get wet, but the flame grew even more vigorous.
Crackling.
Li Yu turned to the two and said: "Gasoline is much lighter than water, so the fire will float on the water.
And when gasoline burns, the more water there is, the bigger the fire will be. Water is hydrogen and oxygen, water can't extinguish the fire, it will only help the oil fire burn, and it might even explode.
I'll throw it far later, you two don't lean in to watch, and also tell the people around to quickly leave the wall.
We just sprayed so much gasoline, it might accidentally burn our own people, hurry up."
After speaking, he slowly stood on the wall.
He had used this method in his previous life, but he hadn't used it much in this life.
Soon, around the main gate, those standing on the wall were warned to move away, standing in the innermost part of the wall.
Li Yu slowly walked forward, and a strong smell of gasoline wafted over.
These two prodigal sons, they must have used up the entire barrel, damn it.
So, Li Yu directly threw the torch in his hand to where Da Pao and the other had just sprayed gasoline.
Boom!!!
In that pile of zombie corpses, over two meters high, a sudden combustion occurred.
And it spread at an extremely fast speed.
Puff, puff, puff~
The flames were like arrows, wildly igniting among the zombie horde.
In a short while, all the zombies within a hundred meters radius were burning.
Li Yu looked back at Da Pao and the other, he hadn't expected them to be able to spray so many zombies.
These zombies, once they encountered fire, immediately caught fire.
Rumble!
Below the wall, at the place with the most zombies, because Da Pao and the other had sprayed the most gasoline, at this moment, under the heavy rain.
It exploded!
The exploding gasoline sent sparks flying everywhere.
Some even exploded onto the wall, but they wouldn't extinguish; as long as the gasoline hadn't burned out, the flame wouldn't extinguish.
Below the wall, a sea of fire.
Zombies don't cry out in pain, or perhaps they don't know pain, they can only roar, but they also ran around wildly.
And as these zombies ran wildly, the fire spread continuously with their movements, and more zombies were caught in the fire.
Amidst the explosions and the firelight, the people inside Weng City didn't know what was happening until occasionally some smell of burning gasoline came through the air.
There was also a smell of burning decaying corpses, a smell that made people want to vomit.
On the wall.
Li Yu saw a zombie running towards the forest, and secretly thought it was bad.
He picked up his crossbow, aimed it at that zombie, and shot.
Pfft!
The zombie, engulfed in flames, fell to the ground.
The flames on its body still hadn't extinguished, burning on their own.
After burning for a while, everyone on the wall began to walk towards the edge of the wall.
As soon as they got close, a wave of heat rushed towards them.
The firelight illuminated people's faces, making them feel warm, but the expressions on their faces were all of shock.
They had all seen Li Hang and Da Pao bringing up a large barrel of gasoline just now, but they hadn't expected its power to be so great.
This wave, at least, burned to death thousands of zombies.
And this number was still expanding; among these wildly running zombies, the zombies were too close to each other, which led to a massive number of zombie deaths.
Li Yu looked at everyone's somewhat shocked eyes and explained: "These zombies have various oils and fats on their bodies, and even more decaying matter inside their bodies; these things are extremely flammable."
Everyone nodded, and Li Yu said with a smile: "We can try this trick again in the future, zombies carry flammable substances on them, this was discovered by Bai Jie, she deserves praise."
In the crowd, Bai Jie was praised by name by Li Yu, her eyes filled with joy.
In his previous life, although Li Yu knew that zombies were extremely easy to ignite, he didn't know the specific reason, but now Bai Jie had explained it clearly.
He hoped that Bai Jie could give him more surprises in the future.
Li Yu nodded at Bai Jie, and Bai Jie subtly winked.
This fire burned for over a dozen hours.
And following the same method, in several other places where zombie corpses were piled high, this method was also used.
All achieved good results, but much less gasoline was used than the first time.
Heavy rain fell, fueling the flames.
In the sea of zombie fire, everyone's faces were illuminated.
Their eyes were filled with a kind of hope.
And confidence.
This long-lasting resistance against zombies, fighting day and night, had made them incredibly exhausted.
This fire seemed to have given them encouragement.
