Even the territory of powerful mutant beasts is not so quiet. Except for some weak mutant flies, there is nothing else here.
Along the way, the only situation similar to this was in the radiation zone, but here there were dense plants, various vines and trees everywhere, and it was full of life. It was obviously not a radiation zone.
"Batalion Commander, this place is too weird, why don't we go back?" Someone said in despair.
Everyone gradually gathered around, their already dull eyes became even darker, and everyone was filled with a sense of death.
The battalion commander glanced at everyone and his heart trembled. He was too familiar with this look. Every time he saw it, it meant that there would be a few more suicide corpses tomorrow morning. Being able to persist up to this point is all supported by will. Once the will relaxes, the energy will dissipate and there will be no hope for life.
He said solemnly: "We can no longer retreat. We have no way out except continuing to move forward. Keep walking!"
"I would rather die than retreat, there are no cowards in the 312th Battalion!" someone shouted in a low voice.
"Even if I die, I will die on the road." Another person's lips wriggled.
Everyone looked numb and their eyes were empty, like dead people. The team staggered forward, and suddenly a man fell to the ground. He struggled for a while, but could no longer stand up. The long journey had exhausted the last bit of energy and spirit of the warrior.
There was a stench all over his body. Someone tore open his clothes and found that his chest was completely rotten, and his bones could be faintly seen. Countless maggots were swarming in densely, making people's hair stand on end.
After a brief moment of silence, the team moved forward again. The further forward, the more mutated flies there were, and finally they were almost in swarms.
A single mutant fly poses almost no threat. Even an ordinary person can kill it easily. But once the number increases, the danger rises sharply.
Even though everyone was extremely careful, some people still died one after another, their blood being sucked dry by the mutated flies, and they fell silently.
The battalion commander looked at the few remaining teams and sighed. His originally resolute face also showed despair. I am afraid that this time it is doomed.
At this time someone noticed something strange.
"There are mutated beast corpses ahead. They are very fresh and have not completely turned into bones."
In the wild, it is difficult to preserve corpses for a long time. A freshly killed mutant beast, even if no other mutant beasts eat it, will naturally decompose in just two or three days. A large number of maggots and bacteria will quickly eat and decompose these. Rare food.
The presence of corpses means that these mutated beasts were killed within three days.
"There are traces of bullet holes. Someone has just been here."
"There's a bullet casing here."
"This three-meter-tall mutated beast was split in half by a knife. He is either very strong or has a good knife." Someone said with deep disbelief.
The soldiers discovered corpses one after another, and there were more and more corpses. Even the entire street in the front was blocked, and a strong smell of corpses was exuding in the air.
Because of the corpses, there were more and more mutated flies in front of them, almost turning into a green cloud. Everyone had to stop moving forward and find a building to take shelter temporarily.
"Let's all sit down and analyze it and hold a discussion." After hastily checking the safety of this dangerous building, the battalion commander whispered.
"What is certain now is that there was a battle between survivors here a few days ago. Judging from the corpses, the number is difficult to estimate. It may be a large team of survivors." One person said.
"They have very few firearms. I didn't find many bullet casings. The wounds were mostly stab wounds. But one thing I'm not sure about is whether the mutant beasts in the entire city were killed by the survivor team. If so, then this The strength of the survivor team, calculated in terms of the strength of the army, is at least the strength of a brigade," another person said.
Everyone gasped, but their eyes became brighter and brighter, with a kind of hope.
A brigade has two thousand to six thousand people, including tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery. If faced head-on, a dozen or even dozens of hundreds of level four (dark blue level) mutant beasts can be easily annihilated.
"Since they don't have many bullets and mostly use guns, then they must have a lot of evolved people."
"The evolved ones can't be so strong. Although I have never come into contact with them, as long as there are five or six veterans who have fought and seen blood and have all the weapons, they can completely subdue or even annihilate them." One person said.
"Evolvers are not that simple. With a little training, a powerful evolver can be compared to a special forces soldier who has been trained for five or six years. It is even stronger and has greater potential." The battalion commander shook his head and said.
His identity allowed him to know more. If the evolved ones were really that weak, the army and the government would not have vigorously investigated the evolved ones. In addition to maintaining public security and stability, the main reason was to win over them, and he was in The legion has a special force composed entirely of evolvers. As soon as you enter, you will be awarded the rank of captain or major, and the treatment will be much better than that of an ordinary major officer like him. As for the government's treatment, he is not sure, but he thinks it will not be bad.
"Stop analyzing these twigs and leaves, there are some and none! Since they have eliminated the mutant beasts in Jiaping City, there is a great possibility that they have not left yet, and are even preparing to use Jiaping as a base to survive. Otherwise, there is no need at all. It makes no sense. The top priority is to find them, then supply and recuperate. Platoon leader Wang, take out the map!" He didn't know that there was such a thing as puppet insects, so he thought that this group of survivors planned to use Jiaping City as their base for a long time. settle down.
One of the men with scars on his face nodded, neatly took out the map carefully wrapped in a plastic bag from his chest, and opened it carefully.
This is a map of Jiangnan Province. It is one meter and a half long and one and a half meters wide. Because it is very large, the various main lines in Jiaping City appear clearly on the map.
"Given today's evil strategy's living environment, there are generally only a few locations where they are located, including air raid shelters, subway passages, and some fortifications. However, Jiaping City fell very early, so only the first two are most likely, and The corpse is here, they can't be too far away from here, so the location should be within a radius of five kilometers near the corpse at most." He drew a circle on the map and clicked hard.
"But there are three subway stations and an air-raid shelter here?" someone asked in disappointment.
"Then search one by one, it's better than blindly dying like this!" the battalion commander said without doubt: "All the seriously injured people will stay here, and the remaining people who can still maintain their fighting strength will be divided into four groups to explore separately. If they are not found, , then return immediately without delay. If you find it, you must ask the other party to send someone to rescue you. We are asking for help now, and we must have a good attitude, even if we are asked to join the other party's team in the end. "
If this was said in the past, some people would have objected to it. The army is the most disciplined organization. In the past, it was a naked betrayal and the most serious form of rape. But at this time, no one expressed doubts.
"That's it. After half an hour's rest, we'll set off immediately!" The battalion commander looked slightly excited.
