After the three-day dangerous period, when Hou Ying and the others were about to leave Hangzhou and set out again, an emergency meeting was being held at the Yellow River base.
The dense appearance of high-level zombies in Sencheng has attracted the attention of the top management of the Yellow River base. Fifty high-level zombies have unpredictable dangers, but it also means fifty high-level zombies. The base sent people with supernatural abilities to hunt them down, and these high-level zombies suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight.
No one could figure out why.
The research on expanding the search range of advanced zombie search equipment is in the testing stage. The developer has tested the equipment hundreds of times, and the error rate is only 1%. That is to say, there is a 99% possibility that this group of advanced zombies really exists. However, it disappeared for unknown reasons.
The judgment given by the researchers at that time was that if this group of zombies were either killed overnight, or their abilities were upgraded to a level beyond the limit of the searcher overnight, they had never met a fourth-level zombie with abilities!
The latter possibility made the top management of the Yellow River Base panic for a while, but they knew that this was not the worst situation.
Sencheng, Zhucheng, head north on the road, and even the high-level zombies in Hangcheng disappeared in pieces just yesterday!
Something must have happened to the zombies, there must be a large number of zombies with level 4 abilities appearing and approaching the Yellow River Base!
Don't wait any longer!
This time, the management of the Yellow River Base was united like never before. They unanimously decided to immediately prevent the special ability users from fighting against each other. Kill on the spot before the base! Hou Ying and the others didn't know that their team had been classified as terrifying level 4 zombies by the Yellow River base.
People at the Yellow River Base have never connected the disappearance of high-level zombies with human supernatural beings.
For one thing, after the three-month search and rescue period for survivors, in order to save abilities, the search and rescue tool that was originally used to locate survivors had stopped working. More importantly, even if the Yellow River base has tens of thousands of first-level abilities, one thousand second-level abilities, and fifty teams of third-level abilities, it will face a whole city of zombies—especially dozens of them. With the existence of high-level supernatural zombies, they still have to discuss over and over again before they dare to send people to hunt them down, let alone kill those groups of high-level zombies at such a fast speed.
But even if they knew, Hou Ying and the others would just laugh it off.
When approaching Jicheng, the imperial capital where the Yellow River base is located, the team stopped here. The train was divided into sections and the stored materials were properly stored in Jicheng Railway Station. Everyone selected a large truck on the spot, selectively brought some materials, and arranged the equipment to go to the Yellow River base—the most important thing was the firearms. It was an important prop they used to conceal the team's ability level and explain their escape all the way to the Yellow River Base.
The last dinner everyone ate was hot pot. This trip to the Yellow River base did not know the specific circumstances. The return date was uncertain, so the vegetables and live poultry carefully cultivated by Su Fenghe, except for the part of the seeds, they have been eating in these two days. Yes, hot pot is of course a good choice. What's more, ever since the chef successfully got a man out of the order, the menu is full of someone's preference, and Li Xuanyuan's taste is light, which is really hard for them.
This time the hot pot is specially used for the mandarin duck pot, otherwise this day will not be able to pass.
After a full meal, Hou Ying gave them the final mobilization: "It's still the same sentence, our main purpose this time is to find relatives, one is not to expose the level of abilities, two is not to cause trouble, and three is not to leave the team without authorization. Everything Can you solve it with a gun without using supernatural powers?"
"able!"
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey!"
Everyone responded positively.
Hou Ying then arranged for a night watchman to let everyone have a good sleep and recharge their spirits. He and Li Xuanyuan stayed in the middle of the night, and then reconfirmed and discussed the route. In the middle of the night, Qiao Daye and Liu Zhan, who came to change shifts, saw the two kissing each other under the lamp, and couldn't help but have the urge to blind their eyes. Facing the playful gazes of the two, Li Xuanyuan wiped his mouth, and dragged the smirking Hou Ying away without changing his face.
The four-hour journey from Jicheng to the Yellow River base, in the absence of speed limits and traffic accident hazards, they only took three and a half hours to reach the outskirts of the Yellow River base.
They did not rush in and were very cautious. Although I heard a lot of news about the Yellow River Base from Li Xuanyuan's micro-satellite receiving station, they were all blatant remarks to guide the survivors to hope, and the truth cannot be fully believed.
At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and the surface temperature had already exceeded 40 degrees, and the high temperature was approaching 45 degrees, but there were still teams hunting zombies outside.
The human base is a delicious meal for zombies, and the smell of human flesh cannot be hidden by millions of people, so there will always be an endless stream of zombies coming here. Most of them are first-class zombies, and the job of these teams is to know the zombies that broke into the Yellow River base within the safe range of the base, so as to prevent them from entering the base.
Hou Ying and Qiao Daye watched for a while, and found a very strange situation. These teams of supernatural beings have different abilities, ranging from three to twenty or thirty people. They are poorly organized, and they are all doing their own thing without unified management.
After a little discussion, they finally selected a team of five as the first contact object.
The actions of these five people are relatively more planned, and although their team size is small, and they look very young, they are operating at the outermost edge, and their abilities range from mid-level to low-level.
The temperature was getting higher and higher, and finally someone in the five-person team wiped his sweat and couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Wu, let's close the team first, and if we continue to dehydrate like this, in case of heat stroke, the crystal nuclei we hunted today are not enough for medical expenses."
The one who was called Brother Wu was the only second-level low-level supernatural being in the crowd. Seeing that everyone's lips were chapped and there was little left of rare drinking water, he asked everyone to go back to the city to rest and come back in the evening when the heat passed. The five of them quickly started to pack their things, and that's when the accident happened! The person who called to stop just now fell down uncontrollably, and the crystal core iron box he was holding fell to the ground, and the exposed zombie crystal cores caused a riot of nearby zombies to rush towards them!
"Forget about the crystal nucleus! Let's go!"
Brother Wu picked up the fainted teammate and yelled at them to leave quickly, but it was too late!
The teammate who was one step behind was about to be caught by the zombies. A burst of despair surged in Wu Ge's heart. He gritted his teeth and rushed back to give it a go. Then the gunshots came. Bang bang bang, the zombies fell one after another, a truck rushed over with billowing dust, knocked over the zombies blocking the way, and then a strange voice yelled at them: "Get in the car!"
The back of the truck is open!
"Help me catch it!!"
Brother Wu threw the fainted teammate into the car, grabbed the teammate who fell to the ground while running, and yelled at the others.
The gunshots of bang bang bang were endless, and when the five people jumped into the car, the rear door closed, and they collapsed on the ground for the rest of their lives. Brother Wu didn't have time to thank him, he scrambled and ran towards his fainted teammate, poured the remaining water from the kettle hanging around his neck into his mouth, slapped the opponent's face, and those who pinched him tried to let him go. he wakes up.
Gongsun Jing stopped him and said, "This can't work, he's too dehydrated."
Brother Wu was stunned for a moment, and saw a slender and good-looking woman unscrew the water glass, and poured some white particles into the water glass, so that he could help his teammate up and feed him water.
If he read it correctly, it turned out to be a broken promise that was more precious than drinking water!
The truck stopped, not long after, someone knocked on the door of the rear compartment, and then two tall and straight men jumped up.
"Are they all right?" Seeing Gongsun Jing taking care of the comatose patient, Hou Ying asked with concern.
"It's okay." Gongsun Jing professionally judged: "It's just severe dehydration, and a little bit of heat stroke. Drink salt water and lie down in a cool place for a while."
"That's good."
Hou Ying just looked at the other people. Brother Wu and the others belatedly discovered that there was not only one lamp lit in the carriage—they didn’t dare to light the electric lamp unless necessary in the post-apocalyptic world. What's more, the interior of the car is extremely cool, even with air conditioning!
air conditioner! !
The eyes of the four brothers Wu were all straight.
Hou Ying smiled, and he handed an iron box to Brother Wu, "Is this yours?"
In the end, Brother Wu found that there were still a few crystal nuclei inside, so he quickly opened the iron box and took out the crystal nuclei and returned them to Hou Ying: "We can't take this, you will kill us, we have nothing to repay you, it's already very difficult." I'm sorry, these crystal nuclei were snatched back from the zombies by you, and they belong to you."
Hou Ying was a little surprised. He didn't take the crystal nucleus, so he asked Brother Wu and the others to sit down, and said: "It's fate that we met. Besides, we have guns in our hands, so it's easy. If you are really sorry, give me a crystal nucleus." We just take it as the depletion fee of the bullet, and the others are unnecessary.”
Brother Wu and the four looked at each other, and in the end, Brother Wu made the decision and stuffed three crystal cores to Hou Ying. With a serious look, if Hou Ying didn't accept them, they would get out of the car and leave.
Hou Ying's favorability towards them rose a bit.
Seeing that the four of his subordinates were all relieved, a baby-faced one of them couldn't hold back his words: "Did you come back from a mission outside? It turns out that the team is equipped with air conditioners. Can I ask what team you belong to?" ?”
Brother Wu glanced at him and didn't stop him. The five of them have been thinking about joining the team recently. Not to mention their team configuration, the savior's team is also worthy of their consideration because of their character.
Hou Ying took advantage of the opportunity to open the topic.
