Chapter 164: Danger lurks
I reminded Captain Xu to pay more attention to his people, as if a corpse monster appeared, there might be more hidden nearby.
Back in the hut at the toll booth, 005 and his team members were also on guard at all times, of course, these words were called outside to say them.
005 secretly arranged for his team members to be on duty at night, and Sanjiu and I also took turns sleeping for a few hours, and the rain stopped at five o'clock in the morning.
Although the rain stopped, the sky was still as dark as the evening of the night, and at half past seven in the morning, Captain Xu informed everyone to set off.
Our target was the S Municipal Hospital in the heart of the city, where a team of medical experts was formed after the outbreak of an unknown virus and a temporary research center was set up in the municipal hospital.
Before the complete lockdown in S City, the research center called to report that they had developed a new vaccine, but then there was no news.
Captain Xu told me that several groups of people were sent into S City to confirm the news, but unfortunately all the people sent in were lost, and now there are still no dead people.
"You know where the survivors in that city are?" I asked Captain Xu.
"The last time a survivor sent a distress signal was two months ago, and I haven't heard anything since." Captain Xu said with a solemn expression.
"Where's the last signal?" Sanjiu asked.
"A large supermarket in the north of the city." After Captain Xu answered, he paused and said: "The new virus appeared as early as half a year ago, and the survivors were able to send a distress signal two months ago, at least it means that they are not infected by the virus." ”
I nodded, thinking that he had a point, that after the complete lockdown of S City, the survivors in the city were faced with the dilemma of no electricity, no water, and no food.
Supermarkets are a great place to stay, and if the virus spreads through the air, these people should be infected on their way to the supermarket.
The fact that they were able to arrive at the supermarket and live for a few months proves that the new virus is not transmitted through the air, but it is still up to experts to analyze and judge.
However, the research center in the heart of the city. But it wasn't that easy to approach, because we were blocked halfway through!
Hundreds of corpse monsters were ambushed in a small street, but fortunately, Captain Xu was an experienced commander and was arranged by him. We exited the side street just in time and took refuge in a hotel on the side of the street.
After jamming the iron door of the hotel stairwell, they all went to the roof, these corpses are different from the zombies in the movie who only know how to scratch and bite, they are the same as animals. Can run, jump, climb stairs, and even open doors!
All we had to do was build a wire bridge, slide up the next floor, and move from building to building, and so far, these corpses haven't been able to jump to the top of a six- or seven-meter-high building.
However, this does not mean that we are fast, because there are still a few weak experts in the team, and four of them are over sixty years old!
"Rest in place for ten minutes." Captain Xu ordered a break when the old expert was tired and about to die.
"Professor Fang, do you see those things as people?" The youngest engineer in the group sat down next to an old man and asked.
"That's a corpse!" Dr. Wang, who was frightened by the corpse of the woman in red last night, interjected.
"Zombies?" The young engineer asked curiously.
"There is no such thing as zombies. But...... Those things just now, I'm afraid they will cause a sensation in the entire medical community! Dr. Wang took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Did you notice the heads of those corpses?" Professor Fang finally regained his breath and spoke slowly.
"It's like a fungus." An old man with black-rimmed glasses answered.
"Professor Du is an authority on microbiology, what do you think of those things?" Professor Fang turned to the old man with black-rimmed glasses and asked.
"I wonder if you've ever heard of zombie ants?" Professor Du's gaze swept over everyone.
"The National Earth website of Country M has reported a zombie fungus capable of infecting ants, taking over their brains and exercising mind control." Professor Qin, the eldest in the team, said.
Professor Du nodded, "That's right, I had the honor to accept the invitation of West Vania University in State M to visit the specimens collected by this research project and the things that grew on the heads of those corpses. Very similar. ”
A few old experts sat around and saw that an academic symposium was about to be held, but ten minutes passed quickly, no. In fact, it was less than ten minutes before their discussion was interrupted by Dr. Wang's exclamation.
Dr. Wang pointed to a dark cloud in the distant sky and exclaimed, "What's that?" ”
The speed of that cloud was moving very fast, it would never be an ordinary cloud, and after Captain Xu looked at it with a telescope, his face instantly sank, and he immediately ordered all the personnel to retreat into the building.
We were on the roof of an office building. The experts were framed by the fighters and quickly retreated into the building, but the office building was covered with glass, and everyone stood in the building and could clearly see the street scene outside.
The black cloud in the distance had moved overhead, and Dr. Wang's emotions were more easily excited, and he saw the true black cloud behind him, and said incoherent words in a trembling voice as he retreated to the corner.
The black cloud is actually composed of a group of bats, but they are not bats in the ordinary sense, at least no one has ever seen a two-meter-tall bat.
People measure the size of bats, usually by measuring the wing spacing, but these bats are much taller than normal adult males, let alone the width of the two fleshy wings when they are spread!
"The devil... Devil...... Bloodsucker! "Dr. Wang huddled in the corner and shivered, I really wondered how he graduated from medical school, and when he performed the autopsy, he was cutting while chanting the scriptures.
The giant bat slammed into the glass wall with its sharp fangs, and a bat was more than a hundred catties at least, and hundreds of them added up, and the impact could be imagined.
One hit the next and then rushed up, the glass wall would be broken by them sooner or later, and it was not long after entering the city that it encountered two waves of resistance, and after Captain Xu calmly weighed it, he decided to continue to retreat.
Instead of fighting with them to consume bullets, it is better to find a safe place to place the experts first, if S City only has this level of danger, it is impossible for the first few waves of people to come and go.
Underneath the office building is a parking lot, some cars have open doors, some are parked in the aisles some distance from the parking spaces, and there are many dried blood stains on the ground.
However, a search of the entire underground parking lot did not find a single body, and like the road outside the city, there must have been many deaths here, but I don't know who carried the bodies away.
Captain Xu sent someone to find a few off-road vehicles that could still be driven, and now the situation outside is not suitable for walking to the city hospital, of course, for the sake of insurance, we have to wait for the giant bat to leave before driving out. (To be continued.) )
