Chapter 224: Silence
After about a quarter of an hour, three armored vehicles finally crossed the barren plain and arrived in the town of Windsor.
Unlike the towns in China where you have a stretch of dwellings and want to make the most of every inch of land, there are very few homes with more than seven floors.
In the cold moonlight and the glow of the street lamps, there are more country houses hidden between the woods and lawns.
It's like a beautiful and tranquil hideaway.
Unfortunately, the dead silence here has given it an eerie hue.
Especially now, wrapped in the hazy moonlight, it looks even more terrifying.
Deserted streets, uninhabited.
Broken cars were everywhere on both sides, and some even had only charred frames left.
On the ground, there are still mottled blood stains from time to time.
A breeze blew, and the rancid smell came to my face, stirring the rustle of the blades of the grass, as if to whisper something.
"Attention groups, attention groups! Now that we have entered the target area, the North District of Windsor Town, everyone must be vigilant! As a unit, we will search for villas 123! ”
Joseph's voice came from the headset.
The armored car he was riding in was the first to stop in the middle of the open road, and the two vehicles behind also stopped at a distance of 50 meters from the convoy.
"Roger!"
"Roger!"
Hearing Alice's voice, Nicole also replied casually.
Immediately, she instructed Bill and Alex, who were in charge of driving the armored car: "Bill, Alex, stay here and be sure to protect Chuchu's safety." I went inside with Zhang Yang and Miss Ziyi. ”
"No, I'm going too, I'm ...... I want to follow Zhang Yang. ”
After Chu Chu put on the talisman refined by the Qiankun gourd, he felt extremely keen.
She had long noticed the difference between Bill and Alex.
However, since Zhang Yang had no opinion, she remained silent.
But now, if she wants to leave Zhang Yang and stay by the side of the two, she naturally disagrees.
"No, it's too dangerous." Nicole said sternly.
Except for Chu Chu, there is not much difference between night and day operations.
Especially for a vampire like Nicole, night is more suitable for her actions.
"No, I must follow Zhang Yang."
Chu Chu grabbed the corner of Zhang Yang's clothes, his eyes were firm.
"Chu Chu, don't be willful! There is a lot of danger inside, and if you act together, it may drag us down! Nicole almost snarled.
"But ......"
"Forget it, Nicole, just let Chu Chu follow me. I can protect him. Zhang Yang interrupted the dispute between the two daughters and made the final decision.
Seeing Zhang Yang say this, Nicole opened her mouth and finally swallowed the words back from her mouth.
On the other hand, it was rare for Ziyi to hold the same opinion as Nicole, and she said: "I think Miss Nicole is right, Chu Chu is very safe to stay in the armored car, protected by Bill and Alex. ”
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Yang explained, "Chu Chu was hit by the evil aura of the Viking witch before, and now it has been completely removed, which is equivalent to having an antibody-like aura himself." Even if she encounters those mutated walking dead, not only will she not be infected, but she will also be regarded as her own kind and will not actively attack. ”
"Antibody......" Nicole seemed to understand something, and suddenly said with wide eyes, "I see! ”
"Shhhh Confidentiality for now! ”
Zhang Yang looked serious, raised his index finger, and made a silent movement.
At the same time, he also looked in the direction of the two armored vehicles next door.
Nicole immediately understood, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Oh, okay." ”
At this time, Ziyi also came back to his senses and didn't say more.
For Zhang Yang to be so cautious, both Nicole and Ziyi fully understand.
Not to mention anything else, even when I entered the first passage just now, a large number of reporters could come to hear the news, and the Ministry of National Defense's secrecy work can be seen.
They even vaguely speculated whether someone was deliberately trying to create obstacles to achieve some ulterior motives.
It's just that the situation is so urgent, and everyone doesn't have time to get to the bottom of it, so they have to keep it in their hearts for the time being.
Chu Chu didn't stay, Alex and Bill naturally didn't need to stay in the armored car and wait, so they naturally acted together.
Not only that, but they also volunteered to act as pioneers, one left and one right to take the lead in flying over the lawn and occupying the commanding heights of Villa No. 1.
Seeing the two of them jumping up in the air, they didn't need to relay halfway at all, and they went to the roof cleanly, whether it was Joseph or Alice, who was the leader of the other two teams, they all showed surprise.
Although from the beginning, the two guessed that these two strangers were the right-hand men brought by Nicole, but they never expected that the strength would be so high.
In my impression, although vampires are fast, their bodies are also very strong, and they have terrifying explosive power, but such a body is rare.
The weather in early autumn was already slightly cool, the cold wind was blowing, and in addition to the lingering rancid smell in the air, there was actually a trace of blood in the air.
The expressions of the people were grim, and a sense of foreboding was born in their hearts, so they became more cautious.
After Zhang Yang and others entered Villa No. 1 one after another, Joseph and Alice were not to be left behind, and also led people to jump out of the armored car.
Two people were left to guard the vehicle, and the rest entered the adjacent Villa No. 2 in a rushing posture to conduct a carpet search.
Although the advance party had already conducted a search of the nearby villa and left a sign of safety, the evil aura of the Viking witch was like a sword of Damocles, and no one dared to be careless when it would explode on the infected.
Even those advance team members who have been baptized with holy water cannot guarantee that they will not be infected!
Zhang Yang was also deeply helpless about this.
Originally, according to his idea, even if he wanted to send advance team members, he should first take the necessary protective measures.
Although the holy water did have an effect on Joseph, it was not completely suppressed.
It is a pity that the action plan was formulated by the British Ministry of Defense, and before Zhang Yang and others arrived, the advance team members had already taken action and had no time to stop it.
He could only bury his thoughts in his heart for the time being, and did not expose this worry, so as not to cause more trouble.
After several people walked through the lawn with sprinklers and running water, they cautiously opened the door and entered the house.
The house was very clean, there was not a trace of clutter, and there was no trace of a fight.
Everyone split up and searched carefully in the room on the first floor, but they didn't find anything unusual.
"Thank goodness! The family should have fled. How lucky! ”
Chu Chu exhaled softly and prayed with his hands.
Hush!
Suddenly, Ziyi reached out to make a silent motion, but her eyes fell on the corner of the living room carpet near the spiral staircase.
Immediately, she crouched on the ground, took a closer look at the plush Turkish carpet, and looked up at the staircase leading to the second floor.
"What, what's the discovery?!" Chu Chu looked at the cold expression of the purple clothes and couldn't help asking.
However, she was also well aware of the current situation, and deliberately kept her voice low.
"This is supposed to be the body fluids left behind by zombies."
As she spoke, Ziyi took out a tissue and turned over the corner of the carpet and carefully wiped it.
It was some yellow liquid, slimy, with a faint sour smell.
Zhang Yang glanced at it, and his gaze quickly fell on the corner of the stairs.
He picked up a white towel that had been placed on the couch and wiped it down the stairs.
The milky white towel was stained with purple blood and something that seemed to be carrion, which was particularly dazzling.
The reason why they weren't spotted in the first place was because of the rancid smell that permeated the neighborhood in the first place.
In addition, the staircase was originally brown in color, and the blood stains and carrion on it were not conspicuous.
"Go up and have a look!"
Zhang Yang said, and went up the stairs in a flash.
Chu Chu was just about to follow, but was grabbed by Nicole.
Bill and Alex appeared around her like ghosts.
"You two, take care of her!" Nicole commanded.
"Don't worry, not a single hair will fall out!" Bill said with a smile.
Alex nodded heavily.
Nicole and Ziyi settled down, quickly exchanged glances, and at the same time jumped up and followed in the direction where Zhang Yang disappeared.
Walking towards the dim second floor, Zhang Yang's face became grim.
The farther I went, the stronger the rancid smell of blood became.
Finally, at the door of the bedroom on the second floor, he saw some dried blood.
The bloodstain stretched all the way to the bathroom next to it......
Squeak ......
I have already noticed that this family has been more and less lucky, but since they have come up, we must see what happens.
Zhang Yang gently pushed open the door and walked in.
Meow Woo –
Suddenly, a cat meow broke the silence of the villa.
I saw that in the room diagonally opposite the bedroom, a white Persian cat was shaking its fat body and walked out in a cute manner.
Its appearance seems to give a little more life to the lifeless environment......
However, almost immediately, Zhang Yang's eyes froze.
He smelled a hint of danger.
Not good!
This cat is not simple.
Sure enough, the originally cute Persian cat suddenly turned into a white lightning bolt and skewered towards him.
Zhang Yang's eyes were quick, and at the moment when the Persian cat crashed into his body, he suddenly turned sideways, avoiding its sharp claws and sharp fangs exposed at the corners of its mouth by a fraction of a second.
Meow Woo –
The Persian cat misses the blow, and its sharp claws leave four deep scratches on the wooden floor due to the huge inertia.
At this moment, it stared at Zhang Yang with burning eyes, the hair on its body stood upside down like a hedgehog, and its sharp claws kept slashing on the ground, making a terrible sound.
The original green eyes have turned blood red, and they are reflecting a strange light.
Its cry was shrill and hoarse, like a sharp object cutting through glass, and it was terrifying to hear.
Meow!
Another scream, it struck again.
Only this time, the target of its attack is no longer Zhang Yang.
"Don't!" Nicole shouted, but after all, because she was too far away, she was still a step too slow.
The mutated Persian cat obviously swooped towards Zhang Yang, but when it was in mid-air, it suddenly swung in the air, used the power of its waist and abdomen to twist its body, and slammed its strength on the wall, turning into an arrow from the string and pounced on Chu Chu in the living room!
The change came so suddenly, Bill and Alex didn't even have time to react, and could only watch as the Persian cat's claws slashed across Chu Chu's cheeks......
