When we gathered at the gate at 7:00 in the morning, Shen Shi'an discovered that there were not three but five military trucks in the base, neatly parked in the open space outside the gate, and the soldiers next to them were ready to go.
A tall man in camouflage uniform led five soldiers also in camouflage uniform, and walked up to twenty-seven survivors, including Shen Shi'an and Chen Nan. The total number of people searching for supplies in the urban area.
"First of all, everyone is welcome to join today's material search operation." The man's voice was like a bell: "In order to prevent newcomers from not knowing me, let me introduce myself first: I am the person in charge of the base of the cigarette factory and the general commander of the search operation Luo Wei, you can call me Captain Luo. These five are the team leaders of the five search teams. After you are divided into each team later, you can ask the team leaders if you have any questions on the road. I only have one request for you, That is to obey the command, everything is subject to the order of the team leader, do what the team leader tells you to do, can you do it? Very good. Remember, zombies are not scary, as long as you stay calm and obey the command, we should all be able to Come back alive. Ready to go!"
Shen Shi'an and Chen Nan were assigned to the first group. The group leader's surname was Tao, and his name was Tao Yuan. He had a baby face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very young. He is not only the team leader, but also the vice-captain of the garrison. Probably in order to maintain the majesty of the vice-captain under his cute appearance, his face is tense all the time, and he even speaks concisely and word by word.
After a brief introduction, he took them to the first truck. Commander Luo Wei was also in this car, sitting in the co-pilot position of the truck head.
A total of 138 people participated in the search operation, divided into about 25 people in each vehicle.
As soon as Shen Shi'an and two got into the car, a soldier whistled at them: "Is it a newcomer who just arrived yesterday? This weapon is awesome!"
Shen Shi'an's long sword is obviously not ordinary, so the others didn't have the nerve to say they wanted to see it, so they just borrowed Chen Nan's stabbing stick and looked at it carefully: "Hey, this guy is good at killing zombies, one stab is accurate, is it metal? ? The hardness is similar, but the color doesn’t match, and unless you have professional equipment, the metal can’t be made so sharp, right?”
Shen Shi'an had already discussed this issue with Chen Nan. "It's a mutated aloe vera thorn," Chen Nan said. "I found it by accident on the way. It must have been affected by the virus and jumped to a height of more than ten meters. It took a lot of effort to chop off the thorn."
"Mutated aloe vera thorn? My dear, there must be hundreds of aloe vera thorns? Where did you meet it? Is it far from here?"
When Chen Nan said that they were near Province A, the soldiers couldn't hide their regret: "It would be great if it was closer. Let's cut them all off and tie them to long sticks, and equip each of them with one. It's so powerful to kill zombies." .”
Chen Nan was a little puzzled: "Don't you guys have guns?" Guns must be better than aloe vera thorns.
"Bullets are limited, so we have to save them. The captain said that unless there is an emergency, you can't shoot. And when it's time for close combat," a soldier tapped the saber in his belt, "it's still a cold weapon." Good job. By the way, my name is Niu Quan, and you are welcome to join." These two seemed to have experienced many battles, and they needed such a person the most.
The team leader Tao Yuan who was sitting opposite looked at the two of them: "So you are both from Province A? Province A is not close to here, why didn't you join the security base nearby and come here from all the way?"
Shen Shi'an said: "We are going to the capital, I have family members there."
To reunite with family members.
The atmosphere inside the truck changed almost instantly. The gazes focused on Shen Shi'an not only contained understanding, support and admiration, but also obvious envy.
After a little thought, Shen Shi'an understood where this envy came from: According to the information he obtained, the cigarette factory base was officially established within the second week after the outbreak of the end times. In terms of time, these soldiers have no chance to go home.
After the outbreak of the virus, almost all survivors pinned their hopes on the army for rescue, hoping that heavily armed soldiers would rush over as soon as possible to rescue themselves and their families and escort them to a safe place.
Few people would think that these soldiers also have family members. In this kind of end-time disaster, their family members are also victims of the disaster and are also in urgent need of assistance. However, unlike ordinary people, soldiers are restricted by military orders and cannot even rush home to confirm the safety of their families.
Being regarded as a savior, hope, and patron saint, but unable to stay by the side of the closest family members to protect them, this kind of emotion may be very difficult.
This alone is enough to make people respect them.
"Hey," Niu Quan was the first to break the silence after a while, "Did you come across all the way here, besides the mutated aloe, have you encountered any other mutated things?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "Mutated goose."
After he finished describing the appearance of the mutated goose, everyone in the car began to salivate: "Fuck, this goose is enough for us to eat for several days."
"Is there any more, are there any other mutant species?"
"Mutated zombies."
"Mutated zombies? It's the kind whose speed is about the same as that of a normal person, right? We know this kind, and it's everywhere in the urban area."
Shen Shi'an took the opportunity to ask, "Are there a lot of mutated zombies in the urban area?"
"A lot, a lot, but less than ordinary zombies." Niu Quan thought for a while: "About 20 to 30 percent, it's very difficult to get together."
Twenty to thirty percent, still much lower than Lin'an County. The city where the cigarette factory is located is called Qujiang City. It is a medium-sized third-tier city with a large area and a permanent population of about four million. After Shen Shi'an experienced the incident in Lin'an County, he once had a speculation: the more zombies gather, the faster the evolution speed will be. The number of zombies in Qujiang City must have exceeded two million, but because it covers a vast area and the population density is not high, it is difficult to form the tens of thousands of people in the county square that mutate into zombies at the same time and gather together for a long time Therefore, the proportion of mutated zombies is lower than that of Lin'an County, which just verified Shen Shi'an's conjecture to a certain extent.
Shen Shi'an thought for a while and asked again: "Have you ever encountered supernatural zombies?"
"Supernatural zombies?" Everyone's eyes were focused on: "What do you mean, zombies can evolve supernatural abilities?"
Shen Shi'an nodded, and briefly explained what happened in the Lin'an County Square, covering up the process of his defeating ten thousand. "... that zombie's ability is to form wind blades in the air for long-range attacks, forming three strikes at a time, and the attack range is about 400 meters. If it is only this point, it is actually not difficult to deal with, but the ability Zombies can also control other zombies to attack together."
Without waiting for other people to react, the commander Luo Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head and looked through the window with a dignified look: "You mean, supernatural zombies have intelligence and self-awareness?"
"That's right, the zombies controlled by 'have a unified brain, they won't be easily disturbed by noise and other factors, and they can use tactics." Shen Shi'an said: "However, the intelligence level of supernatural zombies is not high. It is similar to lower mammals, and the number of zombies that can be controlled is limited. I guess it should be related to the degree of evolution. The higher the degree of evolution, the more the number of zombies that can be controlled. The control limit of the one we encountered was around 10,000 zombies .”
Gasps sounded in the truck one after another: "One can control 10,000? And wisdom can use tactics? How can we fight?"
"It's not the only thing that's scary, okay! If it's true, as this brother Yun guessed, controlling the number is related to the degree of evolution. If one day evolves a zombie king who can control millions of zombies, then how should we fight?" Bros!"
"Humans have not yet evolved supernatural powers, but zombies have evolved first."
Shen Shi'an understood: "So you haven't encountered supernatural zombies?"
Niu Quan shook his head: "No, if you really encounter this kind of situation, you will probably suffer a lot."
Someone said: "Perhaps this kind of supernatural zombies is very rare, there are only two or three in the whole country, it is impossible for us to meet just by chance."
"In any case, we must be more careful in our future actions." Luo Wei said to Shen Shi'an: "Thank you, this is a very important piece of information."
After driving for more than 40 minutes, the truck gradually entered the urban area of Qujiang City. The driver is familiar with the road, and along the way, he can clearly detect the traces of the surrounding areas that have been collected many times: there are few living zombies, but many zombie corpses, and there is a mess of ruins that look like they were formed after an explosion every certain distance.
After driving along the main road for another half hour, the truck stopped at Lowe's orders.
Everyone got out of the car, and there were dozens of zombies scattered around the road. They heard the movement and surrounded them. The soldiers quickly and silently and cleanly cleaned them up with sabers, and then formed a protective circle around the truck in a serious and alert attitude.
Luo Wei spread out a map on the front cover of an abandoned car, and after the five team leaders surrounded him, he raised his hand and beckoned: "Brother Yun, Brother Chen, if you two are interested, you can come and take a look. "
The map is a map of Qujiang City, and the content is very detailed. Luo Wei first pointed to the current location of the people: "From the cigarette factory to here, we have collected this area, and the zombies are almost eliminated."
Then draw a circle hundreds of meters away along the main road: "Today's goal is this shopping mall. It is said to be the largest comprehensive shopping mall in Qujiang City, and it is also the one with the highest density of zombies in the urban area." One of the places, it is relatively difficult to break through, but if we succeed, we will be able to return home today with a full reward."
Luo Wei followed the same direction and drew a circle about 300 meters away from the shopping mall: "Three groups and four groups, you go to this point with your things. Everyone is familiar with the process, right? Five groups go to the nearby Check in the building to see if there are any survivors, and come back to assemble within an hour. The other teams are temporarily on standby."
The team leader of the three groups asked: "How long is the setting today? Is it still twenty minutes?"
Luo Wei thought for a while: "There are many zombies near the mall, let's set it up for half an hour."
"Yes!" The team leader turned around and gave an order: "The survivors participating in the search operation stay where they are, and the rest follow me!"
A group of more than fifty people with backpacks and weapons on their backs rushed towards the destination, and disappeared soon after turning the intersection.
Team leader Tao Yuan explained the specific plan to the survivors who participated in the operation for the first time: "The place where the third and fourth groups are going now, we call it the burial site. Their task is to set traps and plant bombs at the burial site." Bomb, use audio, horn, blood and other tools to attract as many zombies near the shopping mall as possible, after half an hour, the bomb will explode, and the zombies will be wiped out at once."
"But," Chen Nan asked, "wouldn't the sound of the explosion attract more zombies? The burial site is only a few hundred meters away from the shopping mall. If there are too many zombies gathered for the second time, they may run to the shopping mall." Bar?"
Tao Yuan nodded: "That's right, so after the first explosion, three groups and four groups will plant the second time bomb, and the time is also half an hour."
Chen Nan suddenly realized: The first explosion will attract all the zombies within the range of the explosion sound. At this time, the second explosion will not only eliminate the zombies, but also attract more zombies.
Shen Shi'an asked: "Shouldn't you use this method for the first time?" This can explain the ruins after the explosion on the way.
"This is the fourth time," Tao Yuan explained, "Because explosives are limited in stock, they will only be used when encountering big targets like shopping malls."
I see. This method is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way to clean up a large number of zombies, greatly reducing the risk of action, so many survivors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tao Yuan frowned, his baby face was extremely serious: "Although there are explosives, it does not guarantee that the search operation will be safe. There may be zombies who are not attracted by the sound and still stay around the mall, or they may be attracted by the explosion The number of zombies exceeded expectations, and the bombs could not be completely eliminated, so they surrounded the shopping mall. In short, all accidents may happen, so you must be careful when you act, and move in and out quickly. Since everyone chooses to participate in the action, I'm afraid No one wants to die here because of carelessness, right? If you want to return to the base safely with supplies, then cheer me up."
The survivors' expressions turned serious, and they sucked back the breath they had just let go.
Chen Nan asked: "Then what are we going to do now?"
"Wait."
Forty minutes later, the first explosion sounded loudly. Ten minutes later, all members of the three groups and four groups returned. Nearly half an hour later, the sound waves from the second explosion echoed repeatedly in the building complex.
Lowe gave the order: "Let's go!"
