Chapter 67: Uneasiness
The importance of medicine in the last days is self-evident, so this mission the blue wolf team attaches great importance to it and sends the second and third detachments. Although there are only twelve abilities in total, there are currently less than fifty people in the base who can form combat effectiveness, and the second-order abilities can be counted on one hand.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Qin Shen and the other eleven Abilities gathered in front of the gate of the base, and then sat in the nearby lounge to drink tea and rest. It's not that they're passive and slacking off, it's that the ordinary people who are porters haven't arrived yet.
These porters are forced out from all over the base with high prices and staggering pay, and there is no special organization, so they are particularly scattered. At nine o'clock in the morning, the ordinary talents participating in today's mission arrived one after another, about a hundred.
Using ordinary people with no abilities to carry supplies on foot is purely a desperate move for the base. There are three things that the base lacks most, the first, the Adept, the second, gasoline, and the third is food. There is no gas station near Jing'an University. There was no way, in order to get as much as possible to get the last one on the premise of saving the first two, I had to fill it with human life.
After the special staff of the base were busy, they ordered the group of people to form a team, and instilled the code of conduct after the base in the form of reprimands. I don't want this group of loose sand to have much cohesion, I just hope that they don't act casually to endanger the task and others.
Half an hour later, the staff cleaned up this group of ordinary people. Although the mental outlook is still as bad as the puppet army security regiment during the Anti-Japanese War, it can barely be regarded as a team.
Only then did the Adepts come out of the lounge slowly, leading a group of dead-faced porters out in a majestic manner.
The base uses a double door to block the possibility of zombies entering the base. When the outer door closed behind him, even the battle-hardened Adepts couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
There was a dead silence in front of him.
The area around the base has been cleared so that guards can spot approaching zombies as early as possible. As far as the eye can see, the streets and houses are empty, like a dead city, leaving only the gray houses to be eroded and melted by the wind day after day.
"Keep the formation of the second team in the front, the third team in the back, and the ordinary group in the middle. Let's go. ”
Oppressed by this terrifying dead silence, Qiu Yan, the leader of the second detachment who was sitting in the cab of the head car, couldn't help but lower his voice, although he knew very well that it was useless.
Because in the next second, the dead silence was torn apart by the sound of the motor.
The ordinary people who were caught between the two teams of strangers were frightened, and instinctively turned around and ran back, but they were almost run over by the trucks of the three teams behind, and they also realized that the gate had been closed for a long time, and now it was useless to regret it, so they had to resign themselves to following the second detachment that opened the way.
Jing'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is not far from Jing'an University. Before the end of the world, I took the bus, and I arrived in a traffic jam for half an hour. But in order to accommodate the porters, who could only walk on their feet, the march of the team can be called turtle speed. This also makes the risk of zombies for the whole team skyrocketing.
Therefore, except for Qiu Yan and the two drivers, the other nine Adepts all stayed in the truck body, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
"Ahh
The shopkeeper on the street suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the ankle of the porter who was passing by, and pulled the porter down at once. The porter screamed and was quickly dragged into the shadows of the street. A man in his forties and fifties picked off his nails with his fingers on the ground, and he couldn't reduce his speed at all!
"Don't help!"
A stranger snapped off those around him who wanted to reach out and pull him. These ordinary people have no ability to protect themselves, and they can only be dragged away together!
As soon as he finished speaking, several wind blades smashed into the shadows. A wind blade slashed off the arm that was dragging the porter. Immediately afterward, several fireballs flew over, burning the newly revealed zombie to ashes, along with the pile of debris where it was hiding.
The porters' eyes were full of adoration as they looked at the Adept.
"Keep going."
The Adept coldly ordered. In fact, the whole process did not stop at all. The team will never put the lives of others at risk in order to save one person.
The undying porter crawled back with a hard, and finally managed to catch up with the group. But he could only stand alone behind the third team in charge of the palace. Because he had been in contact with zombies, no one could be sure that he wouldn't get infected.
More than ten minutes passed, and after encountering several more such attacks, Qin Shen found that the porter was gone.
Qin Shen called over the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Cheng? ”
"Don't look back, the formation will be disrupted." Xiao Cheng replied.
Qin Shen was a little embarrassed. Well, his two buddies and Fang Ru were indeed poisoned by his "Holy Father's Disease", and even after he "recovered" for so long, he still had palpitations.
No, you can't recover it. The harsh reality is more useful than any preaching.
"I think...... We should go the other way. ”
Xiao Cheng thought for a moment: "You mean Xiangzhang Road?" No, it's a one-way street, there is only one lane of lanes, and the buildings on both sides have not been carefully cleared. In case we encounter zombies, we don't care, the ordinary people in the middle don't even have a place to hide. Strange Qin Shen, you know this, why did you suddenly remember to change lanes? ”
"I don't know, I always feel that there is danger ahead." Qin Shen pursed his lips. He didn't know that the path they were taking was the right one, but the uneasiness in his heart almost forced him to jump out of the car and rush into the second team leader car to twist the steering wheel himself.
No, you have to turn at the fork in the road ahead. That's the last chance!
Xiao Cheng didn't answer, and after a while, he replied to Qin Shen helplessly: "I'll go and mention it to the second captain." He doesn't do it. ”
"So what about we take the lead?" Qin Shen still didn't give up.
"I said it." Xiao Cheng was even more helpless, "He said that this would mess up the entire formation, and accused me of ignoring the overall situation for my own selfish interests." ”
He didn't want to rub behind the ass of the team. But recently, the boss of the blue wolf team has something to do, and the second captain temporarily takes over the captain's responsibility. This old man with an ability level of only the first order was very unpleasant to look at Qin Shen, and naturally he hated Qin Shen's two good buddies by the way.
Qin Shen bit his lower lip. "I got out of the car and went to meet with the captain of the second detachment in person."
"Don't be stupid! Zombies can pop up next to you at any time. Bai Wei beside him hurriedly stopped him. In just ten minutes, they slaughtered seven or eight zombies, and they basically appeared out of nowhere, which was difficult to guard against.
Something really happened, they were sitting in the car, and it was not convenient to escape.
Qin Shen understood the danger of getting out of the car at this moment. But...... No way. What awaits them ahead is a dead end.
"Qin Shen, why are you so sure?" Bai Wei asked puzzled. Qin Shen is just very strong in combat, and if he didn't see him, he would be unpredictable.
Qin Shen shook his head: "I don't know either." But it certainly is. ”
With Qiu Yan's character, Qin Shen could only let him change his path if he made a low profile in front of him. This risk must be taken.
But in the next second, the walkie-talkie in his hand rang, and Qiu Yan's arrogant tone came out.
"I said Xiao Qin, I heard that you want to change your route? Young people, don't just grow your guts and not your brains. The terrain of Xiangzhang Road, in the art of war, belongs to two mountains and one ditch, and it is the most easy to be ambushed. Let's put the Century Square with a wide field of vision, and don't go, what kind of camphor road to take! Xiao Qin, I am your elder, and I am the acting head of the regiment, even if you want to take the lead with additional bonuses, you have to listen to my instructions. You are young, you are capable, but you lack the most basic quality of being a human being, which is to respect others, respect people who are more powerful than you, and have more experience than you! ”
Qiu Yan was there with a walkie-talkie and preaching to Qin Shen. The walkie-talkie is different from the mobile phone, and the other party can only say it after one person has finished speaking, so Qin Shen can't always interject. Bai Wei and the other team members were pulling on the side, and Qin Shencai didn't jump out of the car and went directly to Qiu Yan for an interview.
Soon, Qin Shen also gave up the idea of an interview.
Because they have already crossed the intersection and are about to enter Century Square.
