Clang—
With a crisp sound, the rearview mirror on the right side of the chariot became history. Holt cursed, but did not intend to stop or turn around, which meant that the people in the car were not prepared to confront the mob.
Zero looked back, and with the change of the silver pupil in Jin Jin's right eye, the sight distance was shortened again.
In sight, the mob who shot was a bearded man. He was wearing a tattered vest, and on the front there was a line of words "Go Giants" written in English. Naturally, such clothes could not provide any protection, so the man's body was as black as charcoal due to long-term exposure to strong ultraviolet rays. In addition to his dark complexion, Zero also found substances similar to cuticles on his shoulders and forearms.
That should be some degree of mutation, Zero thought.
In the wilderness, radiation is everywhere. If it is not a supernatural person, then walking in the wilderness must wear radiation protection suits like Zero and the others. After several generations of improvements, the latest radiation protection suits are no different from ordinary clothes. The clothes Zero and the others are wearing are obviously bulkier, closer to military uniforms, and the models are relatively backward. But compared to the mob outside, it was already much better.
The chariot moved away, leaving the mob far behind, Zero retracted his gaze.
"They want to steal the car." Zuoge said Yoyo, smoking a cigarette.
Zero lowered his head and understood.
The uninhabitable surface, various bases, companies, or simple settlements are hidden under the ground. The distance between these locations is usually more than a thousand kilometers, and the world today has become extremely vast. It is difficult for ordinary people to traverse the dangerous wilderness without means of transportation, which is the logical reaction of the mob when they see chariots.
After walking for half an hour, the chariot stopped. In front of the vehicle was the entrance of the town, and the sign placed next to the road with the words "Welcome to Silvertree City" was thrown on the ground. But there was a human head stuck on the solitary iron rod. It was a man with a frightened expression. His head was stuck on an iron rod, and the iron rod went through his neck, leaving the man's head exposed to the sun, emitting a stench.
The hot air generated by the sun makes the town look distorted from a distance, like a devil's city. Silvertree City is very quiet. Occasionally when the strong wind blows, you can hear the sound of cans rolling on the ground.
"The vision of the living corpse has degraded, but the sense of hearing and smell are extremely developed. If we drive into the city, we will undoubtedly tell those sleeping guys: Hey, food is here." Zuoge made a movement of shaking his head, and then I laughed myself, not feeling the tension I should have at all.
Zero listened to his words, and the information revealed in Zuoge's words was quickly memorized, classified and summarized by him. So in his mind, information about the living corpse was gradually taking shape. Zero was not idle either, according to Zuoge, he would walk into the town next, so a routine inspection was essential. He quickly checked his equipment, a miniature automatic machine gun, a dagger, some ammunition, and a jug of secondary drinking water.
Seeing Ling's methodical movements, Zuoge showed approval. The others quickly completed their self-checks, and Zuo Ge, the team leader, opened the car door and jumped into the scorching sun first.
Zero also got out, leaving the space in the chariot that had been cooled by the refrigeration system, and for a while came to the ground where the temperature was comparable to that of the desert, almost thinking that people would follow suit. But after a short period of discomfort, his body quickly adjusted. Even Zero himself didn't realize that even though he was baptized by the sunlight containing high-intensity ultraviolet rays, he didn't even have a single drop of sweat on his body.
As for the others, they were already covered in sweat after only a short while.
Silvertree City is not very big, a curved urban street runs across the east and west of this small city. In the small town of 120 square kilometers, various urban facilities such as residential areas, schools, libraries, hospitals and police stations are distributed. In the old days, this quiet town had a permanent population of around 1,000 people and was famous for its large number of ginkgo trees.
But now, naturally, there is no green vegetation to be seen, and the buildings in the city are also in half-destroyed buildings. Only the only school in the city is still intact. But it has also become a place where living corpses live together, so the big red word "Danger" is marked on the map in Zuo Ge's hand.
After entering the city on foot, the team took a break in the garage of a house. Zuoge took out a map and made a simple plan.
In the west of the city, next to the police station is the only hospital in Silvertree City, "Mary's Hospital". The hospital drew a red circle on the map, Zuo Ge clicked on it and said: "This is our target. Mary's Hospital has five floors, and the medicines are in the underground storage room. The situation inside is unknown, there may be living corpses or Other monsters, especially spaces like the basement, are their favorite paradise, so we have to be extra careful in our actions."
Zuoge took off the lights on the helmet and the machine gun, and said: "Everything that can generate light sources must be removed. If there is a light source in the underground space, it is equivalent to telling these monsters that we are here. All switch to infrared reconnaissance And you have to put a silencer on the muzzle, those guys have good ears."
Ling was taken aback, he didn't receive any infrared reconnaissance device and muffler. Fortunately, Zuoge seemed to have expected this to happen, so he took these two things out of his backpack and handed them to Zero.
Take out another map, which is the floor plan of the basement of the hospital. Zuoge pointed at the door and said, "Hot, stay here and install enough explosives on the door first. Once we get the medicine and retreat, if there are living corpses chasing us, it will be up to you."
Huo Te nodded, patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, I'll take care of blowing up those guys' balls."
Zuoge smiled and nodded to Carl, Tony and Zero. He said: "The three of you follow me in, I'm in charge of scouting the way, Carl and Tony, you two are in charge of providing fire support when necessary. As for you... zero, I hope that when you retreat, you won't Suddenly a certain living corpse jumped out to obstruct it."
Zero didn't speak, but he didn't object, which means he took the job.
Finally, Zuoge said to Allen: "Find me a suitable blocking point, and make sure that when we withdraw from the hospital building, we will not be chased and bitten by living corpses. At the same time, you have to arrange a retreat route for yourself. We Will assemble outside the city. Well then, gentlemen, if you are ready, I think it is time to act."
"Now, check the time! We still have four hours before sunset, act quickly!" Zuoge concluded with this, which represented the beginning of the action.
After leaving the garage, Allen temporarily left the team. Five people including Ling quickly advanced towards the hospital, and after a while, they stood outside the building of Queen Mary Hospital.
The fifth floor of the hospital building has collapsed, but fortunately the building below is well preserved. The door of the building was open, revealing the dark space inside. Standing outside the door, gusts of cold wind blew in, as if the building was an abyss of hell.
But now, Zuoge and the others want to jump into hell by themselves. After the captain gave a brief action signal, he himself got in first, followed by Huot and the others, but Zero was the last one.
Zero's goggle had already been removed, and the infrared detection device was being worn on the right side of his face, just covering his golden right eye. With the safety catch of the machine gun turned on, Zero bowed his waist and landed silently, like a cat gracefully burrowing into the darkness of the hospital building.
Under the action of infrared equipment, the corridors in the dark are clearly visible in Zero Eye.
The windows of the hospital were closed, and some kind of paint was splashed on them to block the sunlight from entering, so it looked extremely dark. Facing the gate was the outpatient hall, and Ling saw newspaper racks, drinking fountains, and seats all over the floor, feeling very distraught. Moreover, there were several corpses on the ground. The corpses had been skeletalized, and it was unknown how long they had been dead. They were still wearing doctors' white coats, and the skeletons of the corpses were not complete. Judging from the uneven fracture surfaces, they should have been torn off by something.
Zero's skin wrapped in protective clothing felt a very weak pinprick, and his intuition told him that this hospital was very dangerous. Definitely, not as peaceful as it appears.
In the line of sight, Zuo Ge made a gesture, indicating that everything ahead is normal. Zero followed, and the team walked out from the fire exit on the left side of the outpatient hall, then walked down the stairs outside the passage, and came to the door of the underground storage room.
The door was unlocked and half open. A dead body was sitting by the door, and it looked like it was a hospital security guard. The left forearm of the corpse was missing, and even the head was half-gnawed by something, making everyone frown.
Zuoge gestured to Holt to let him stay. The black man patted his chest and made another "OK" gesture, and then began to prepare for the placement of explosives.
The team moves on.
After passing through the gate, there is a passage extending left and right. Zuoge came to the wall, looked at the plan of the medicine storage room hanging on the wall, and immediately locked a position. That is the storage room for antibiotics, located in the east of the basement, which is a relatively deep location.
After determining the target, Zuoge walked in front of the team, leading the team forward slowly but carefully. Zero still walked at the end, everything in sight was normal, except for the occasional corpse lying on the ground. But the calmer he became, the more he felt the needle prickling on Zero's skin for some reason. It seems that there is a huge danger waiting for them in silence.
Zero finally couldn't help it, and under the strange eyes of Carl and the two, he stepped forward and pulled Zuo Ge. Using his finger to write the word "Danger" on the palm of Zuo Ge, Zero pointed to the dark area ahead, then shook his head, and made a retreat gesture, Zuo Ge frowned.
Zuoge naturally knew what Zero wanted to say, but in his opinion, Zero was too nervous.
According to the information obtained by the base, most of the living corpses in Silvertree City live in schools in the city. Half a year ago, the base sent a team of ten people to carry out the same mission. Everything went smoothly, but when they retreated, the team passed by the school and was attacked by a large number of living corpses. In the end, only one person escaped.
As for the Mary Hospital, there will not be more than ten living corpses hidden here. Zuo Ge didn't take this amount to heart yet.
Zuo Ge patted Ling's shoulder, then patted himself on the chest, and then raised his thumb towards himself, indicating that everything was under his control. Then, Zuo Ge waved his hand to let the team continue to move forward. When Carl and Tony passed by Zero, Zero saw their contemptuous eyes.
Zero knew that they were laughing at themselves for being cowardly.
He wasn't going to argue, since Zuoge insisted on taking action, it was enough for Ling to do his job well.
Ling fell to the back of the line, and the golden right eye was constantly adjusting the sight distance under the control of his thoughts to help him see all suspicious things clearly. When passing the pharmacy room, a light sound came into Zero's ears.
Zero, who caught the strange noise, quickly looked towards the pharmacy. The door of the pharmacy was half open, and in Zero's sight, something flashed past the door.
Zero's right eye saw quite clearly that it was a high heel.
Naturally, the heel cannot move by itself, in other words, something is moving inside.
Zero stuck it up and gently opened the door with the barrel of the gun. He squatted down, if something suddenly jumped out of the door, it would not be able to attack him in the first place. Maintaining a half-squatting posture, the moment the door opened, the muzzle of the miniature machine gun pointed directly into the door.
But there was nothing inside the door, except for the pharmacy cabinet lying on the floor, and a male corpse.
Only the skeleton remains of the male corpse, but he is wearing a gun and has a six-pointed star logo on his chest. It looks like he is still a sheriff. It's just that the sheriff has passed away, but the body is still clutching two guns.
The two revolvers are the same horizontally, and they seem to be a pair.
According to Zero's visual inspection, the length of these two guns is close to 50CM, and the height is about 17CM. This is already too huge for the body, and the bullet casings scattered on the ground under the corpse are even more frowning. He picked up one and observed it for a while, then he knew that it was firing a .50 bullet.
Picking up one of the pistols, Zero shook his hand, and the drum on the gun body immediately slid away. Unlike ordinary revolvers, which have six-round drums, this pistol's drum can only hold five rounds.
"M500*?" Zero was a little surprised. In the old days, only the M500 in the world was capable of firing five bullets. That's because the bullet it can fire is a powerful .50 bullet that is powerful enough to kill an African elephant.
Zero looked thoughtfully at the wrist bones of the corpse. As he expected, both wrist bones of the dead sheriff had been broken. It was abruptly broken by the huge recoil of the M500, but I don't know what the sheriff hunted with such a powerful pistol
Removing the two pistols from the hands of the corpse, Zero found a line of small characters engraved on the butt made of polymer material.
"To Dearest Smith-Mary"
It seems that this pistol was given to the sheriff by a woman named Mary, but now that the sheriff is dead, Zero decided to put the pistol away for him. They fall into the hands of Zero and will play a greater role.
Zero saw that the sheriff still had a bank of unused .50 rounds, but wanted to reach for it. When the finger just touched the bullet, the tingling sensation on the skin suddenly intensified. A sense of danger surged into Zero's heart like a tsunami.
At this time, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind!
