Hao Jian set off that afternoon, and Lian Runing could not be absent because the seminar and exchange were at an important juncture, so she did not go with her.
Hao Jian didn't need her to follow him on adventures, so he told her to be careful and take care of herself, and at the same time whispered to her: "I left you a gun and a tactical sling, you should take your gun and hide it better. Because I don't I'll be back tomorrow for sure."
Tomorrow is the last day of the seminar, and the officials have arranged an afternoon flight, just in time for them to return to Buddha City safely before the evening.
If Hao Jian can't come back in time, then she will have to find a way to go back by herself.
"How can you do without a gun?!" Lian Runing resolutely didn't want it.
Hao Jian was helpless and could only tell her: "The above has always suspected that there are 'no blame' people in the research center. I think they will definitely take action on the research results. Even if they don't destroy the results, they will steal the results so as to gain the public's favor. trust."
Lian Runing didn't shirk any longer. She decided to help Hao Jian to investigate how many people in the research center had sold their souls for profit.
After appeasing Lian Runing, Hao Jian no longer had any worries. She couldn't get in touch with Wen Shanggao at such a distance, so she simply didn't report her actions.
Without a gun, she used the machete and fire axe that she used to be most comfortable with.
The machete was found by Wei Renmin. Compared with the previous machete, this machete is a bit longer and can effectively distance the zombies. Moreover, its design allows the user to reduce the strength, as long as the angle is right. , dealing with zombies can be many times easier.
Wei Renmin and Wei Guojia were well prepared, and Wei Shehui remained in a safe place, and then provided them with information remotely. And You Xiaoxiao had to follow Hao Jian, because he lived in that area before and was familiar with the situation there.
Wei Guojia found a boat, paid some money, and sent them to the east bank of Pearl City. When everyone got off the boat, they realized that there was one more person accompanying them.
Hao Jian had a headache for the second time: "Ru Meng, why are you following me?"
Lian Rumeng said, "You recognize that I'm not my sister?"
"Where is she, normal people know that she can't follow her."
Lian Rumeng had no choice but to say: "I don't think you should think that I will drag you down. Although I am a girl, it does not mean that I am a person who is powerless."
You Xiaoxiao said: "This place is very dangerous, even more dangerous than Buddha City!"
Lian Rumeng grabbed the harpoon that came from the boat, and said lightly: "I know, what do you think I did from Chang'an all the way back to Buddha City?"
Hao Jian and You Xiaoxiao stopped talking. They did subconsciously think that Lian Rumeng had not experienced everything outside, and they were just too playful to follow.
But they all forgot that Lian Rumeng came back from such a far place, what did she not experience? She has also escaped from danger several times, and with her keen sense of smell, she can always wake up before danger occurs.
If it wasn't for her alertness, when she and You Xiaoxiao took the bus back to Nanfang City, she pulled You Xiaoxiao away early, perhaps You Xiaoxiao would have been pushed to block the shield of the attacking zombies.
What is the world outside, she also heard from You Xiaoxiao that she always goes to the People's Livelihood Management Office Building to read relevant news and developments.
She is not a protected dodder, on the contrary, she is as smart and wise as Lian Ruling, and her sensitivity also stems from her insight and awareness of being vigilant in times of safety.
Just like the capable people who succeeded before the end of the world, although not every capable person who has achieved success will read the news and pay attention to current affairs, but those who read the news and pay attention to current affairs, discover business opportunities and smell the trend of the wind are often more successful.
Therefore, Lian Rumeng didn't think that she should only stay in a safe place and wait for someone to protect her.
She was even fully prepared. She knew the weaknesses of zombies, and also knew where to start when the strength was not enough for a headshot. She even knew that losing the infection location and physique of the virus would affect the degree of zombie transformation.
So, she wears a helmet and wraps a piece of cowhide that she got from somewhere around her neck. As for long clothes and trousers, she is also common sense. She also specially prepared non-slip gloves so that she won't slip while holding a harpoon.
Hao Jian asked, "Does your sister know?"
"She knows, I told her, and she said, just don't cause you any trouble."
Seeing this, Hao Jian had to give up the idea of driving her back. Wei Guojia and Wei Renmin did not object, so she followed.
____
The east bank is still some distance away from the city center, and although it is the top five cities in terms of population density, most of the suburban areas are logistics parks. There are not many high-rise buildings, and the highest residential buildings are only nine stories.
However, because of its geographical advantages, there are many places that have been transformed into refuges. The places where the survivors congregate will always attract zombies, so their journey is not much better than going to the city center.
Fortunately, there was Wei Shehui remotely directing them to go to the place where the refuge base was built, because the zombies were cleaned every day nearby, so it was relatively safe.
Later, Wei Renmin picked up a bus. Although a lot of glass was broken, and there were even bloodstains left, its car keys were still there.
Although no one got an A-plate driver's license, Wei Renmin still forced it.
Although several people were thrown into a mess when they turned the corner, their huge body knocked a lot of zombies away.
After a lot of detours, the group finally arrived at the destination - a building under construction one kilometer away from the Huangting International Hotel.
The reason why they didn't go directly was because they didn't know the situation of the Huangting International Hotel, because the surrounding buildings were very low and inconvenient to look out, and the engine would attract the siege of zombies, so they decided to wait and see from a high place. a bit.
The residential area is not safe, and there will be no people coming over the buildings that are still under construction, and naturally there will not be many zombies gathered around.
Wei Renmin explored the way first, then Hao Jian and You Xiaoxiao followed, while Wei Guojia and Lian Rumeng watched the wind from below.
You Xiaoxiao thought that his physical strength was okay, but after being afraid of more than 20 floors, his clothes were soaked through and he was out of breath.
Hao Jian was the same, so Wei Renmin thought about it and said, "This is all it takes."
After choosing a good location, Wei Renmin moved out the special telescope, and he also gave Hao Jian a handheld telescope.
The situation of the Royal Court Hotel can be seen through the telescope is not very good, because there is no protection project outside, but judging from the closed door and the situation of more than 100 zombies that have been wandering there, there are definitely still living people there .
The Royal Court International Hotel is a five-star hotel. The decoration is very tall. Although they are all glass walls, the quality is absolutely excellent, otherwise the zombies would have been squeezed out long ago.
Now their plan is to draw away the zombies and enter inside. But the difficulty is, how to lure away the zombies, how to get inside, and how to ensure your personal safety inside
"The movements of zombies seem to be more agile after dark, so we have to find a way to get inside before that." Wei Renmin said.
He thought for a while, and then warned: "I said that the zombies become more agile after dark, not to say that the dark is not good for people, but to say that compared with half a month ago, the zombies have evolved, you must be careful."
Hao Jian froze in his heart and asked, "Have zombies evolved?"
"Experts say that small changes are not evolutionary, but from what I have done so many missions, the zombies at night are more difficult to deal with than before, and some of them will no longer make a sound after seeing a living person. , thereby increasing the chances of a successful sneak attack."
Hao Jian remembered the results of her initial observations. She didn't expect that the person who noticed these things as she did was actually Wei Renmin.
However, Wei Renmin was born in the commando team, and his observation ability is indeed outstanding.
"What do the experts say?"
"They said that maybe it's been a zombie for too long, the body rots, the organs are damaged, and the vocal cords are damaged, so they can't make a sound."
Hao Jian shook his head: "Relevant researchers have proposed an idea. Based on the existing research results, it may take four to five years for a zombie to decompose. Because their bodies decompose more than ten times slower than corpses, This does not rule out the role of the virus."
"I thought so too. Later, I tested it and found that the zombies after being attacked can make sounds, so I am sure that they have evolved."
You Xiaoxiao was a little stunned: "Meaning, zombies will also survive the fittest?"
"It's understandable! After all, zombies that are easy to deal with have been killed, and zombies who hide themselves in the dark are more likely to hunt their prey."
"Then let's act quickly, if it's dark, the risk factor will greatly increase, right?!"
Wei Guojia has already learned about the situation over there through Wei Renmin's report, so he said, "I have already figured out a way, you come down!"
Wei Shehui found out that there are many back doors and side doors at the Royal Court International Hotel, but most of them are sliding doors, which are usually locked with locks.
The main door is an induction door, and to operate the induction door, there must be a main controller, an induction detector, a power motor, a spreader system, and so on.
In order to prevent the zombie sensor door from sensing a zombie and opening the door, the sensor detector must be turned off, but the power supply and the main controller will not be turned off, because generally the sensor door that is powered off is normally open.
Wei Shehui can restore the sensor detector, but after the zombies are led away, before other zombies find the hiding person and turn back, they must enter the hotel and give Wei Shehui time to turn off the detector.
This time is best controlled within five minutes.
According to these conditions, Wei Guojia said: "Second child, go to lure away the zombies. Miss Hao and I will go to the front door, while Miss Lian and Mr. You will wait for us to open the door at the side door. If no one opens the door within ten minutes, you will immediately open the door. Go to the evacuation point to meet the second child."
Hao Jian and others have no opinion.
Now that the plan has been detailed, everyone starts to act according to the plan.

The setting sun hung brightly in the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds into a rosy red, gorgeous and beautiful.
From the sound of motors and horns from far and near, the sensitive zombies suddenly became excited as if they had smelled their prey.
The few zombies outside the bushes first walked towards the source of the sound, and then the speed changed from slow to fast, because they became more and more certain that the prey was ahead.
Then the zombies on the edge of the fountain pool followed the pioneer in front and chased out. Finally, when the sound was loud enough to resonate for a few hundred meters, all the zombies became restless. They looked at the zombies appearing at the intersection, and then rushed frantically. past.
Hundreds of zombies were quickly attracted to 90% of the time, and there were only a few options that stumbled over guardrails or bushes and crawled relentlessly.
"There must be zombies in the community behind them. Before they come, act immediately!" After Wei Guojia finished speaking, Wei Shehui began to decipher the main control system of the hotel.
Wei Guojia and Hao Jian quickly headed towards the main entrance while they dealt with the lonely zombies. When they got to the main entrance, they were a little surprised that there was a car and various tables and chairs behind the main entrance. Obviously, the person inside drove the car in, and then the sensor door suddenly opened and the zombies swarmed in.
"There are zombies coming!" Wei Guojia reminded.
In fact, in Hao Jian's mind, the zombie monitoring prompt was already ringing. Fortunately, this is not a real voice, otherwise it would really distract Hao Jian.
Hao Jian looked up, but saw a zombie just happened to appear around the corner. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and didn't think much about it, but went to deal with the zombie first.
The induction door opened soon, Wei Guojia climbed onto the roof first, and then extended his hand to Hao Jian: "Come on, come up!"
With his help, Hao Jian flipped over the roof lightly.
At the same time, more zombies chased after them. They were blocked by the car, but also blocked the induction door...
Hao Jian and Wei Guojia worked hard and finally eliminated the zombies within the time Wei Shehui requested, and closed the induction door again.
"If there are people here, there must be surveillance. You go and open the door for Mr. You and the others, and I'll check first." Wei Guojia said.
Hao Jian rushed to the back door agreed with You Xiaoxiao and the others, then chopped the extra lock to pieces, and let in the two who had already dealt with the zombies.
The extra lock had been broken, so the original lock could only be used, and two bulky chairs were added to block it, and the three rushed to meet Wei Guojia.

As everyone guessed, there are indeed survivors in the hotel, and there are quite a few, there are about a hundred people, nearly a quarter of them are the staff of this hotel.
These days, they all live on food from the hotel, but there are more than 100 people, and everyone has no temperance, so the food in stock is running out.
As soon as Hao Jian and the others appeared, they asked if the plainclothes police had come to rescue them, and if they had brought them food...
Wei Guojia said: "Now a refuge base has been established outside. If you want to leave, you can come with us tomorrow."
"How to go, there are so many zombies outside!"
Wei Guojia raised the machete covered in zombie blood in his hand and said, "How to get there? Of course, pick up all the weapons in the hotel and fight a bloody path."
As soon as these words came out, most people retreated.
Hao Jian didn't really want to care about them. She called the hotel staff and asked him for a list of all the people here.
Da Fu was not willing to help her. He had a stick in his hand, so he was not afraid of Hao Jian at all. Hao Jian had no choice but to take out her dinner tonight and tomorrow's food from her backpack. The person took the benefit and was willing to help.
Since these people were also trapped in the hotel, the hotel manager has been responsible for registering everyone's names, and also began to collect the rooms of customers who did not return, hoping to find something useful.
Hao Jian quickly found a familiar name on it - Li Jing.
There are no Hao Feng and Hao Zuo here, so Hao Jian can only go to Li Jing.
When she saw Hao Jian, Li Jing's expression was obviously a little strange, but she quickly hid it.
She is a woman who can dress up before she is forty, so she looks only twenty-seven or eight-year-old at the moment.
Hao Jian originally thought that a person who lived in Yuncheng all the year round and often climbed mountains should not be so white. However, Hao Jian only needs to smell the perfume on her body and the smell of various skin care products to know that she definitely spends a lot of time and money on beauty.
I remembered that my mother worked hard at the same time after graduation, and later became haggard and old because of cancer.
In such a comparison, her hatred almost took over her sanity.
"You are..." Li Jing showed a puzzled look.
"Where is Hao Kan?" Hao Jian said straight to the point.
Li Jing's eyes couldn't hide her consternation, she gritted her teeth and denied: "Who is Hao?"
"I've already investigated it before I came here. It's no use pretending to be confused with me."
Li Jing pursed her lips and seemed to suppress her anger, and her whole body was shaking.
"You look angry? But what reason do you have to be angry?" Hao Jian mocked and looked at her disdainfully, as if looking at a piece of garbage.
"I don't know Hao Kan, and I don't know what you're talking about, get out!" Li Jing got angry.
Before others heard the movement and came to watch, Hao Jian suddenly slapped him: "As a woman, I've never been willing to hit women. But this slap was not made by me, but on behalf of my mother."
Disputes between the original partner and the mistress often appear in ethical dramas and romance dramas. In fact, it comes from life. Sometimes life is so dramatic, and Hao Jian doesn't violate the lines in the TV series.
This slap made Li Jing's mind empty, her ears buzzing, she fell to the ground, and she didn't recover for a long time.
After hearing the news, You Xiaoxiao and Lian Rumeng both stopped, their thoughts were different. You Xiaoxiao mainly knew about Hao Jian's family situation, while Lian Rumeng was just confused.
When they followed Hao Jian out, they didn't ask what Hao Jian was going to do, and only later learned that Hao Jian was looking for someone. I thought it was someone important, but I didn't expect...
You Xiaoxiao feels that she has discovered a shocking scandal - a scandalous scandal!
"Fuck!" You Xiaoxiao burst out foul language.
"What's the situation?" Lian Rumeng asked.
"It's a long story, so let's talk about it when you have time!"
After You Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he stepped forward. He also wanted to know what the situation was, why Hao Kan was not dead, and this woman seemed to be a mistress
"How dare you hit me?!" Li Jing came back to her senses and roared at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian narrowed his eyes, but did not speak. You Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and said, "Why don't you dare to hit you? If I see Hao Kan, I'll hit him too!"
"Who are you?" Li Jing was angry.
"You don't care who I am! Do you have any reason to rob someone's husband?!"
"The original version of the apocalypse version rips the little three dramas?" The onlookers ate the melons one after another.
I also saw that Li Jing still looks charming, and now a man with a very conspicuous red mark on his face came out and said, "Is there anything I can't talk about? In this situation, if we don't work together—"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Guojia said with a smile: "This situation is not a problem for us, you all need to work together to find a way to survive."
"..." Everyone who thought that these four people could come here stopped talking.
The man was brushed face, a little annoyed. He is also a person with status and status, and naturally has his own dignity and temper.
So he stood between Hao Jian and Li Jing, looking down at Hao Jian: "I advise you to have something to say, otherwise you won't want to leave here safely."
Hao Jian glanced at him indifferently, and said to Li Jing: "The debt you owe my mother, I recovered it, the rest, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me, I just ask you, where is Hao Kan? !"
Li Jing refused to speak, and Hao Jian looked at the man: "I'm looking for my dad, this woman's man, are you sure you want to take care of our family affairs?"
If it wasn't for the purpose of finding out Hao Kan's whereabouts, Hao Jian would have been reluctant to admit that it was her father.
The man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously backed away. Hao Jian squatted in front of Li Jing with the machete against the floor. She twitched the corners of her mouth: "Tell me where Hao Kan is, and die here with you, you choose one."
The man wanted to move, but was stopped by You Xiaoxiao and Wei Guojia. There were many people and they had weapons in their hands. Although the man coveted Li Jing's beauty, he didn't want to get himself into trouble.
____
In the apocalypse, before the crisis, many people are indifferent and selfish, so no one is willing to stand up for Li Jing, she really had no choice but to say: "Azuo quarreled with his father at the time, so he went to Disney to play alone, and then there were people around him. There were a lot of zombies, and Ah Feng was worried about Ah Zuo, so he went out to find him. Then suddenly there was no signal, and I couldn't contact them anymore."
Hao Jian looked at her blankly: "your son did it."
Li Jing wanted to say something, but forced by Hao Jian's cannibalistic eyes, she had no choice but to say, "Azuo is your brother..."
"Sorry, I don't have a brother, I just want to find Hao Kan, and then make him look good."
