Chapter 107: Trial
No matter how doubtful Wang Xinxin was in her heart, she was already on the way to carry out the task. So even if you can't figure it out, you can only "come to block the soldiers, and the water will cover the earth".
Besides, the army spent a lot of effort to train so many people, it didn't just want them to die. So for the safety of this mission, Wang Xinxin is not worried at all.
Since security can be said to be guaranteed to a large extent, it is best to clarify other doubts, and it does not matter if they are not clear.
Along the way, under the suppression of the strong firepower of the army, their group still walked smoothly. Originally, Wang Xinxin thought that they came to D City to collect food, but it wasn't until they arrived at the place where they were on the mission that Wang Xinxin realized that she was too naïve.
Looking at the neatly stacked munitions in the warehouse that opened the door, Wang Xinxin gasped. It turned out that the destination of the mission this time turned out to be an arsenal.
I'm really stupid, in fact, even if I can't guess what the specific destination is in this mission, I should at least be able to see that it will definitely not be a simple collection of food.
If you're just looking for food, the base will definitely recruit a team of mercenaries to act together. Especially this kind of target is obvious, and the well-known reserve grain warehouse will be targeted by many people, and the base will definitely recruit some mercenary squads to be cannon fodder.
After all, in the process of competing for things, there will definitely be a lot of shopping. Since they are all in a hurry, casualties are inevitable. This kind of thankless work, where the base will be willing to do it, must send a recruited mercenary team to the field, and the army is mainly responsible for the task of transporting food.
But this time it didn't follow this routine at all. The composition of the personnel who traveled this time was very simple, all of them were soldiers, Wang Xinxin noticed that this mission did not even involve the base government.
Therefore, even in terms of personnel composition, it should be obvious that the secrecy of this mission is still very high.
Wang Xinxin not only complained in her heart, but she really didn't know whether she should thank the army leaders for their love, mainly Minister Liu's love, and she believed that the four of them who had just joined the army for a week even sent them to participate in such a confidential task.
On this mission, Wang Xinxin did not act with Du Zining and them. Because it was the first time they had done such a task and had no experience, this time all four of them were scattered.
Wang Xinxin went on a mission with Captain Wei and a teammate named Wan Mingshan. Du Zining and the three of them, like Wang Xinxin, were led by other experienced teammates in the team to do tasks.
Because the arsenal is full of flammable and explosive dangerous goods, as long as you don't live enough, thermal weapons will definitely not come in handy here.
In this case, it depends largely on the means of these supernatural beings.
The loss of the primary level can also be dealt with by ordinary soldiers with excellent skills and cold weapons in their hands. But the ability of first-level zombies is not something that these ordinary soldiers can handle. Therefore, the main target of the ability is the first-level zombies, and at the same time, if there is spare strength, it is necessary to take into account the safety of the ordinary soldiers in the squad.
Speaking of the three words arsenal, even ordinary people who don't know much about the situation can imagine that it must be located in the barren mountains and mountains. Even if it can't reach the level of barren mountains and mountains, it must be a sparsely populated place, and it will not be in the downtown area.
The biggest advantage of such a place is that there are fewer people, which may not be a good thing before the end times, but after the end times, it is simply a paradise.
Of course, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say this, because there are still a lot of wild animals in this barren mountain range, and if you encounter mutant animals, it is not easier than encountering first-class zombies.
But this time they were lucky that they didn't encounter mutant animals, and after entering this barren mountain range, they didn't even encounter zombies. I only hope that their journey back can be so smooth, otherwise, this truckload of munitions will definitely not dare to use thermal weapons against mutated animals and zombies at that time. Without thermal weapons, which are the most convenient and effective means of dealing with zombies and mutated animals, their group of soldiers will also have a hard time coping.
However, a good beginning is always a good sign, even if the road for transporting munitions is not easy to build in the barren mountains and mountains, but at least it is still smooth, coupled with the strong fire suppression of the army along the way, at noon, they arrived at the destination of this mission, the arsenal.
When it was still some distance from the arsenal, the convoy stopped and rested for about half an hour, so that the people in the convoy could finish eating, drinking, and lazing. When the rest was almost over, the convoy set off again.
Wang Xinxin found that the soldiers in the same car should have carried out such a mission before, and after seeing the convoy driving off the beaten track, she began to close her eyes and recuperate. Although they didn't explain their destination this time before they went out on the mission, with their previous experience, they should still have guessed that there was a good chance that there would be a tough battle to fight later, so they had to take care of their energy in advance.
Because it was the first time for Wang Xinxin to do such a mission, although she was surprised by their behavior, she also knew that this mission should be very unusual when she saw that the place where the convoy passed was becoming more and more desolate. Since her predecessors have done this, she also closes her eyes and recuperates.
It wasn't until Wang Xinxin really saw the warehouse full of munitions that she really understood why the composition of the personnel who came out to do the task this time was so single.
It seems that the relationship between the base army and the base government has become very bad, and this time the task should be done by the army to hide from the government.
But think about it, this mountain does not tolerate two tigers, no matter who it is, as long as you have the strength, you want to have the final say, instead of listening to other people's commands everywhere.
It is estimated that there should already be a team of people collecting food by now, but she doesn't know it.
At this time, Wang Xinxin didn't know that the arsenal here was not just an arms storage warehouse. To be precise, this should be regarded as an arms production base.
Not only are there large quantities of good munitions, but there are also a lot of raw materials for the production of munitions, as well as the equipment needed to produce them. It's just that as soon as they came in, they walked in the direction of the finished arsenal under the leadership of Wei Qifeng, so they didn't have the opportunity to discover that the scale of this arsenal was much larger than they imagined.
And Minister Liu didn't believe in the four of them as she imagined, in fact, this mission was also a test for the four of them.
Even if an old politician like this who has been in the military and political circles for so many years admires them, how can he trust them so easily and not take on a heavy responsibility?
Let them get in touch with some secrets that can be regarded as secrets, but they are not very core and important, and break them up, and arrange for their trusted subordinates to follow them throughout the process as seniors and guides, and see if they are really credible, this is the real purpose of Minister Liu.
If they can be trusted, that's the best of course, and then you can arrange for them to participate in more important tasks, which will not only increase the level of trust between them, but also be a more tempting test.
After several tests like this, Minister Liu was able to initially trust them. But a deeper level of trust can only be achieved through a long period of testing.
If they can't be trusted, it's easy to do, and it's normal for a few people to die on the way out of the mission. Dead people are the best at keeping secrets, so they don't have to worry about secrets being leaked at all.
However, in Minister Liu's view, these four people are still very trustworthy, and they have not been impregnated with white paper by the big dye vat of society, and they are the most suitable for cultivating and using them for their own use. And the person who can be regarded as a grace to them again is also more likely to get their loyalty.
In short, Minister Liu likes to cultivate such a person to be his confidant, and he always feels that such a person's lifelong skills are taught by himself, which is really easy to control.
Wang Xinxin actually didn't believe that Minister Liu would believe them so soon, so she could also think that this task was actually a test, and the examiner was standing beside her, according to her estimate, it should be Wei Qifeng, but Wan Mingshan is also possible.
But if it is really Wan Mingshan, it means that Minister Liu does not trust Wei Qifeng very much, and there is a nail buried beside him.
However, no matter who is the chief examiner, and no matter whether this task is a test or not, in short, Wang Xinxin is not an undercover agent of other forces, as the so-called "usually don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." "She only thinks it's a normal task, she never asks what she shouldn't ask, and she never says what she shouldn't say.
Wang Xinxin has been listening to Captain Wei's words since he first entered this arsenal, basically letting the east dare not face the west, and let the dogs dare not catch the chickens.
Captain Wei's command ability is still very strong, otherwise he would not be able to become Minister Liu's right-hand man, and everyone else listens to Wei Qifeng's command like Wang Xinxin. So their team didn't have to wait long to reach their team's destination this time.
"The driver stays in the cab and stands by!"
"Yes!"
"Wan Minghui!"
"Here!"
"You take two people to stand guard around the truck!"
"Yes!"
"Wang Xinxin!"
"Here!"
"Take the rest of the people and come with me to move the arms!"
"Yes!"
"Alright, let's get moving!"
As soon as Wei Qifeng gave the order, Wang Xinxin led people to rush into the arsenal after Wei Qifeng.
Although the zombies outside this warehouse have been almost cleaned up, there is no need to worry about a large wave of zombies coming over in a short time, but the zombies in the warehouse are unknown.
Although there was no movement from inside before opening the warehouse door, and no zombies rushed out of it after opening the door, this does not mean that there is no danger inside.
But they can't delay too long, although the zombies around the warehouse have been cleaned up once, but if the time drags on, there will definitely be zombies from other places wandering over, so correspondingly, the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.
So whatever was in the warehouse, they had to go in and break in.
Regardless, caution is a necessary prerequisite for survival. They must have inspected the warehouse before they can start moving, otherwise they will be easily caught off guard if they are attacked on the way.
At the beginning, when they first entered, because it was very close to the door, the light was very good, and it was easy to find out if there was any danger, so the search speed of their previous part of the road was very fast.
But further inside, the situation becomes a bit seeping, because the warehouse has no windows, only vents, plus the power is cut off, so the further you go inside, the darker it becomes. Although they all carry flashlights with them, the range of light emitted by the flashlights is limited, so it is difficult to see the whole situation inside.
In addition, there is no movement inside, only death-like silence, so the timid ones can probably be scared to death when they come here.
In such an environment, there is no need for Wei Qifeng to say anything, everyone will also be vigilant.
Facts also proved that vigilance was really necessary, just when everyone was groping in this black hole environment, suddenly a light black shadow flashed, and then a deep scratch appeared on the arm of one of the soldiers in the team.
The accident happened very suddenly, and although they had been careful, the soldier did not dodge the attack, and he grunted in pain, obviously not lightly injured.
But at this time, it is impossible to even help him deal with his wounds, because no one knows who the next target of this figure will be.
It is impossible to let him go out now, stay in a safe place and treat the wound. The blood flowing from the wound will stimulate the sense of smell of zombies or mutated animals even more, and he will undoubtedly be the primary target of this figure.
Now that "the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light", the best way is to go out together to change this unfavorable situation. Of course, it was better to lure that figure out, otherwise they would still suffer the same attack if they went in again.
This luring the enemy into the deep is a technical job, you can only work hard, but you can't force the result, otherwise you will have to suffer heavy losses if you are not careful. Wei Qifeng obviously also thinks that the most important thing now is to preserve the overall strength of the team first, besides, when he received the task, he did not ask to say that he would transport the arms at all costs, so it was better to save his life first.
"Wang Xinxin, you will take everyone slowly out in front of you, and I will be behind you." For fear of alarming that potential danger, Wei Qifeng's voice was very small. (To be continued.) )
