    After the unknown monster was injured and escaped, the gate was quiet for a while, but the movement just now attracted more monsters here.  Soon after, another monster tried to break through the gate. The combat team, with a basic unit of five people, took turns guarding the entrance of the cave. Once a smaller monster tried to enter, they would kill it with spears.  People regained their composure after being confused for a while. Such a precarious life is the norm in the end of the world. They have been accustomed to all this since they have been able to survive until now.  ¡°Don¡¯t use gasoline until critical times, and pay attention to fire prevention.¡± Li Mingfeng said to the team members responsible for guarding.  Lin Chuan and the equipment team stood behind the safety door leading to the inside of the base, studying countermeasures together.  "This should be special steel." said Hoss, who has been appointed deputy leader of the equipment team.  "High hardness, corrosion resistance, not easy to oxidize." He tapped it with a wrench, and then said, "The thickness is at least twenty centimeters." "Can't it be opened?" Lin Chuan asked.  "Yes, I can." Hoss pushed up his glasses with his hand.  "But our existing saw blades and welding rods will be used up on this door, and there will be no way to make weapons." "Can't we just cut the door pin position?" Lin Chuan asked.  "This door" "This door" Zhou Tao and Huo Si said at the same time.  They all stopped, and then Zhou Tao continued: "After the door is closed, four locking pins on the top, bottom, left and right will stick out to fix the door. Just cutting the door pin position will not open it. At least one must be cut out enough.  It takes a whole day to get in and find a way to open the door," Hoss added.  "We still have to consume all the saw blades and welding rods." "Then let's make weapons first." Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and said.  "With the right weapons, we can also guard that door." The following days have been busy, and all actions are moving closer to the equipment team. People dismantle the car into parts according to their instructions, and do their best according to their requirements.  Processed into rough prototypes for their further use.  A week later, Wang Qinian and Hoss built a simple steel crossbow. Because they did not have suitable materials, they used multiple layers of steel sheets to make the crossbow arm, wood to make the crossbow body, and two motorcycle brake lines.  Make crossbow strings, and use wood strips and steel sheets to make crossbow arrows.  The entire crossbow weighs more than fifteen kilograms. When winding, it requires the use of both hands and feet and all the strength. It is very cumbersome. However, Li Mingfeng can use this crossbow to shoot through the head of a mutant within twenty meters, which makes everyone feel  Very satisfied.  Originally, there should have been a group dedicated to making steel crossbows, but there was only one set of tools. After making an improved steel crossbow, the equipment group began to try to make a bed crossbow that was larger in size and power.  Lin Chuan and Tank had been looking for the team of people digging the tunnel, but they searched all the accessible houses around the warehouse but could not find any traces of them.  "Did they dig out from inside the warehouse area?" Tank suddenly said after finding nothing again.  This may be the only possibility. They can't dig it all the way up from the ground. Lin Chuan looked at the warehouse area where monsters were infested and felt very disappointed.  They deliberately avoided this warehouse, but chose another warehouse that mainly contained cans, and explored its surroundings bit by bit. On the schematic diagram of the tank, there were densely marked many places that could be used to escape or temporarily.  Passage for shelter.  The young people in the equipment team made more than twenty Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower that can spray flames five meters away, but the progress of the bed crossbow is still slow.  Food was being consumed day by day, and the atmosphere in the base was slowly deteriorating. Some people began to quietly spread pessimism, and people became restless.  Many people asked Lin Chuan to think of another way to seize the last moment to collect food, but he was held back by every possible means. He just arranged the material team that had completed the material collection task to collect a lot of wood for use in the rainy season.  Everyone is looking forward to the results of the equipment team with a depressed mood.  Twenty days later, Wang Qinian and Huo Si finally made the first bed crossbow, and Lin Chuan immediately took all the committee members outside to test it.  "How do you feel?" Lin Chuan asked Li Mingfeng. He was the undisputed top shooter. Of course, the test mission could only be completed by him.  "Pretty good." Li Mingfeng replied.  Wang Qinian anxiously guided him to wind the string with a winch, and then put a one-meter-long crossbow arrow ground into a seamless steel pipe.  Tank drew a one-meter circle on the wall a hundred meters away. The accuracy of the bed crossbow would not be as good as the steel crossbow, so they were all willing to accept it.?Some deviations.  Such a large target is about the same size as the monster. If Li Mingfeng can hit the target, he should be able to hit the monster's vitals after practicing many times.  Li Mingfeng carefully adjusted the crossbow on the bed, and everyone looked at him with bated breath.  With a "boom" sound, the crossbow arrow drew a graceful arc in the air and plunged into the concrete wall, forming a large spiderweb-shaped hole in the wall.  No one is excited.  "Ci'ao!" Tank yelled.  He stood nearly fifteen meters to the right of the target, but the crossbow arrow almost penetrated his body.  "Brother Li, what are you doing?" he shouted loudly.  "Want to commit murder?" Li Mingfeng's face turned ugly. He wound the string again and called the tank back from the front.  This time, he hit the target seven or eight meters to the left.  The third time, ten meters above and to the right of the target.  The fourth time "Is this what you created?" He finally cried out unbearably.  "Maybe something is not done right." Wang Qinian said with sweating profusely. Li Mingfeng tried hard to find out the pattern of deviations, but this damn thing was simply random.  Huo Si and Wang Qinian immersed themselves in research for a long time, and finally determined that there was a problem with the cooperation between the trigger and the crossbow string. Because the force was too strong, the crossbow arrow would deform irregularly every time it flew out. The result was that at a distance of one hundred meters  On the other hand, hitting something with this bed crossbow basically depends on luck.  A crossbow arrow made of steel pipes can easily penetrate ten centimeters of concrete, but what's the use of a crossbow arrow that can't hit the target, no matter how powerful it is?  People in the base are still waiting for the results of the experiment. They take such results back, not knowing what kind of turmoil it will cause in the base.  "Give us another week, we will definitely find a way." Wang Qinian said anxiously.  "It's too late." Lin Chuan replied.  The temperature has begun to get colder day by day, and there are fewer and fewer sunny days. As the hot weather recedes, monster activities have become active again. The reconnaissance team and the supply team often encounter monsters looking for food when they go out, causing casualties.  It gradually became serious, which forced them to reduce the time and frequency of going out.  There is no weather forecast now. If they wait another week, it might clear up, but if the rainy season comes, they will never have a chance.  "How many seconds does it take to wind the string last time?" Lin Chuan asked.  "About fifteen seconds." Li Mingfeng replied. A winch must be used to wind the bed crossbow, otherwise it would be impossible to pull such a heavy crossbow string with human power.  "Such a long time is enough for the monster to rush over, and there is no chance to shoot the second arrow." "Then we have to ensure that the first arrow hits the target." Lin Chuan replied.  "But this is simply impossible!" Li Mingfeng couldn't understand Lin Chuan's thinking.  "We can't drag the crossbow arrows in front of the monster and shoot it, right?" "That's what we have to do." Lin Chuan replied.  "We can't eliminate them from a distance, so we can only close the distance with them." Lin Chuan said.  "Like last time, we first find a suitable place. The place should be very solid so that the large monster to be destroyed cannot get in. Then we lead it over and wait until it desperately pokes its head inside.  Shoot it to death from a distance! ""It will be dangerous to attract monsters," Li Mingfeng said. He had already imagined the situation described by Lin Chuan in his mind, and had already considered several buildings around the warehouse area.  This idea may be feasible, but it will be difficult for them to find a suitable location to lay the trap.  "The distance to escape this time is much farther than last time, and the monster is larger. The person who used it as a bait is likely to be eaten before he can escape the trap." "We will find a way." Lin Chuan  said.  "The most difficult problems to solve no longer exist. Can't we still think of a good solution?" "The weapons are ready. Now we have to find Li Weilin and convince them to join our operation." Lin Chuan continued  said.  "Tank, do you know their operating area?" Tank nodded. ? ****** Lin Chuan deliberately walked into the base with a joyful expression, and loudly announced to his companions that the test of the bed crossbow was very successful and could fully meet the requirements, and the operation in the warehouse area could begin immediately.  People suddenly became excited, and the uneasiness they had felt for many days was finally liberated.  Many people congratulated Wang Qinian. He looked at Lin Chuan with a troubled expression, but under Lin Chuan's glare, he finally reluctantly said??laughed.  The giant crossbow he made did not achieve the effect he expected. It was Lin Chuan who thought of a way to save it.  ¡°Let¡¯s eat well tonight and recharge our batteries. We¡¯ll start preparations early tomorrow morning and take action the day after tomorrow!¡± He continued to say loudly.  "If everything goes well, we won't have to worry about food in two days." What if it doesn't go well?  Many people asked in their hearts, but in such an atmosphere they were not allowed to raise such questions.  Lin Chuan asked Lu Guangping to cook all the canned meat into porridge and add food to the combat team and investigation team. He kept walking among the crowd, describing to them the situation after the operation was successful, and encouraging their emotions.  At this moment, Tank came in with Li Weilin.  ¡°You¡¯re here just in time, come and have a good meal with us.¡± Lin Chuan said happily.  "I want to see your bed crossbow first." Li Weilin said.  There are welding spots everywhere on the bed crossbow made of various materials, but it gives people a rough aesthetic.  "Does it really work?" Li Weilin asked.  "We have tried it many times." Lin Chuan replied.  "But in order to ensure absolute safety, we are prepared to use it at close range." "Close range?" Li Weilin repeated.  "Ten meters." Lin Chuan replied.  "Kill it out at once." He briefly told Li Weilin his plan. Li Weilin nodded silently, looking at Lin Chuan with a look that meant he had understood everything.  "My people will only go out after seeing you kill giant monsters. Is that okay?" he asked.  Lin Chuan nodded.  "But you are responsible for killing the mutants entrenched in the warehouse as quickly as possible." Li Weilin said there was no problem.  "Let's eat first. After dinner, the team leaders of the combat team and the investigation team will come over, and we will discuss the detailed action plan." "I have one more question." Li Weilin asked.  "Who will act as bait?" "Me, I'm the first one. If I don't finish, Tank will be the second one." Lin Chuan replied.  Li Weilin looked at him with interest.  "Do you think you can succeed?" he asked.  "I will definitely do it." Lin Chuan replied.  "I've already succeeded once." Li Weilin shook his head.  "There's no way your method will succeed," he said.  "Let me do it. You don't have to die in vain. I have a better way."
