Chapter 22 (II) Before the Cataclysm

After driving away, Quinn drove away at a high speed for a while, then began to detour, pretending to be returning from another place instead of the office, and slowed down the car because the high-speed driving would be stopped by patrols on the way.

After slowing down the car, Pablo began to ask questions, but as soon as he said a word, he was stopped by Reuben, because there was somehow an extra sentry post in front of him, and the outpost had a squad of troops, and there were two large-caliber heavy machine guns on either side, as long as that thing fired, it could destroy their car in an instant.

Quinn parked the car at the checkpoint, opened the window, and pretended to be relaxed, "What's wrong?" Isn't the operation to clear the remnant of iniquity not over? ”

The non-commissioned officer didn't say much, just looked at the documents of the three of them, and then asked, "Are you going to change your documents?" ”

"yes." Quinn boldly replied that it was impossible for him to hide it, after all, the time mark on the document had just been added, and if he lied, he would be directly suspected.

"Which way did you come here?" The non-commissioned officer asked again.

Quinn immediately replied, "Coming from the outer blockade, I'm worried that I'll get involved in unnecessary battles because the city is clearing the remnants." ”

After listening to this, the non-commissioned officer handed back the documents to them: "Hurry up, there are spies in the city, you should also be careful." ”

"What spy?" Quinn asked deliberately nervously.

The non-commissioned officer sighed: "One of the captains of the clearance unit was killed and stabbed in the neck with a knife, it seems that it should have been done by the remnants of the command, so." Everyone should be careful, and now it is said that there may be people hiding from them among our people. ”

Quinn knew that the person they were looking for was actually himself, but he couldn't leave immediately, and deliberately said there: "Everyone was a family before, and it was difficult to dig up the remnants of the headquarters, so be careful yourself, maybe sometime, someone will shoot you in the back." ”

After listening to Quinn's words, the non-commissioned officer subconsciously glanced at the soldiers behind him. Of course, he knew about it. I had to wave Quinn and leave immediately.

Not long after they left the outpost, a man wearing a desert camouflage uniform and a skull mark gas mask appeared not far from the outpost, but this time the man had long hair fluttering. But it's a woman.

The woman was carrying a backpack. Walk towards the checkpoint. The non-commissioned officer immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Put down your backpack, lie on the ground and hold your head, quick." Otherwise we have the right to shoot you on the spot! ”

The woman put down her backpack and lay on the ground, holding her head, and the non-commissioned officer and three soldiers outflanked her from three directions, surrounded her, and restrained the woman with one other person, and the rest began to check the backpack.

After the soldier who checked the backpack opened it, he rummaged through the contents and said: "Captain, there is only some military food in it, which seems to be the individual rations of the former British troops." ”

The non-commissioned officer nodded: "Search!" ”

The man lowered his backpack and began to search the woman's body, unaware that the bag containing the individual rations in the backpack was beginning to swell and crackling.

After a long time, after the search, the non-commissioned officer was about to ask the woman when he suddenly heard a strange voice and subconsciously asked, "What is the voice?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a sound like a firecracker exploding came from the backpack, which startled everyone, and all the soldiers present pointed their guns at the woman, and the non-commissioned officer asked loudly: "What else do you have in your backpack?" Answer me! ”

The woman just laughed, laughed maniacally, and didn't answer anything, and then slowly rose from her backpack a puff of black smoke, which stayed at the same height as the human shoulder, and turned into a small dark cloud, and then the dark cloud suddenly dispersed......

After they dispersed, in less than five seconds, the non-commissioned officer and the other three soldiers began to choke their necks, and then they clawed at their own skin, and the others who were still inside the outpost did not know what was happening, and then they also felt that it was difficult to breathe and their skin was itching.

The woman wearing the gas mask stood up and slowly turned her head to look at the soldiers rolling on the ground, the soldier's body began to ooze blood, the woman still stood there and smiled, and the laughter coming from the gas mask looked even more eerie and terrifying.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to start splattering blood, and the woman stood among the splattered blood and said with a smile: "It's raining, and this land will never dry up again." ”

Then, the woman slowly turned around and walked in the direction she had come, slowly and calmly, leaving only dried corpses all in her wake......

Within a few days, the news of the mysterious camouflage skeleton spread throughout the city, but only a few people knew that the death of these people was exactly the same as the death of the original Kula No. 1 infectious disease, because the epidemic did not spread, and there was no reason for other people to be infected, the matter was covered up, but the city began martial law, because the conference was about to be held, and there were two topics for the conference, one was to ask the monks to negotiate peace, and the other was to elect a new commander.

At this time, Tang Shuxing, Bai Zhanqiu, and Na Jincheng had already approached the outskirts of Ismailia, settled in a relatively free village on the periphery, and were trying to find a way to enter the city.

In conversation with the people of the village, I learned that if you want to enter the city now, unless someone you know is there, it will be a dead end to swagger in, and the soldiers on the defense will shoot and kill the trespasser at any time, no matter who you claim to be, no one can get through, no one can lead you.

At the same time, rumors of camouflage skeletons spread throughout the village, where the sorcerers sued the others for the condemnation of the gods for occupying their homes and making themselves their masters.

The wizard's words made the villagers feel a little better, after all, they have been carrying the predicament for many years, and they did not expect that after the various forces of the Global Resistance Army gathered here this time, on the contrary, their lives were not as good as before.

Troops began to demand that they pay taxes in the name of protecting them, of course, by handing over useful things, whether it is food, batteries, gasoline, or more, and then the second group of troops. It wasn't until later that there was almost nothing left in the village, so no army came, but because of the frequent arrival of the army, there was no resistance from the villagers, and they also thought that it was safe and no longer fortified, so other businessmen also rushed here and rented the houses of the villagers to start a business. This allowed the villagers, who had given up hope of survival, to barely survive.

After Tang Shuxing talked to the villager. gave the other party a piece of dry food, turned around, and said to Bai Zhanqiu: "It's impossible to enter the city now, you can only sneak in." ”

"Without further ado. Let's go tonight. Bai Zhanqiu pointed to the intercom in his ear. I have already informed Ah Yue and them. Let them wait in the village for news from us, and answer them as soon as we find a boat or a way out. But I don't have any big hopes, and besides, you want to find someone else. ”

Tang Shuxing looked at Na Jincheng before saying, "I said, when the time comes, you will go first, and I will stay and wait." ”

"If only it were that simple." Na Jincheng shook his head, "Let's go first, we have to take advantage of the fact that the sky is not dark, first survey the terrain, and find the location to infiltrate." ”

The trio then left the village and headed for the blockade on the outskirts of the city, but for safety, they hired a merchant's cargo car with a battery and pretended to deliver the goods, and the merchant carried them around the perimeter.

The merchant pointed to the trenches on the right side of the car as he drove and said, "These are all dug up by them, and when I saw this, I thought that we were fighting World War II and modern warfare, and I was still digging such things, is it useful?" ”

Bai Zhanqiu said coldly: "It's useful." It's better to have cover than not to have it, and when the gun goes off, do you lie on the ground for safety, or hide in the trench for safety? ”

The merchant smiled: "You are also soldiers? ”

"We are mercenaries." That Jin Cheng immediately said.

"No wonder." From time to time, the merchant looked to the right, "These armies do not have fortresses, so they are replaced by armored vehicles, and the actions between armored vehicles are replaced by trenches, in fact, this defense is problematic, I am also a soldier, if it were me, I would find a way to break through from the inside, of course, on the premise that there are no weapons for large-scale attacks." ”

Tang Shuxing, who was sitting in the back of the car, asked, "Friend, where do you think it's most convenient to get in?" ”

"You're really trying to sneak in, just like I guessed." The merchant smiled, "Actually, it's not difficult at all, there are only three of you, the target is too small, and many of the troops here have not received real military training, and they don't have the ability of real soldiers, just imagine, if it were you, would you send your elite troops to this city to participate in this ridiculous meeting?" ”

The merchant's words reminded Tang Shuxing, indeed, no one would be stupid enough to send their elite troops to this place, what if they were directly besieged by Shangdu? But then what the businessman said surprised them even more.

The merchant parked his car behind a hill, turned his head to look at them, and said, "I advise you not to go in and look for death, the people of this city will be doomed sooner or later, and I stayed here just so that I could check the weapons and ammunition and go back to trade, because there is an outbreak of the Kula No. 1 epidemic in the city, you are mercenaries, you are very well-informed, you should know what that thing is, and the free port of North Africa disappeared because of that disease." ”

After the merchant finished speaking, the three of them were very shocked, after they escaped from the free port full of machine qì walking corpses, they always thought that that kind of incident would not break out for the time being, because after such a long time, there was no sign of another outbreak, and the ground turtle was nowhere to be found, and Shangdu was about to start peace negotiations, at such a time, how could the ground turtle with Reinhardthi and his gang use that Kula No. 1 infectious disease again?

Na Jincheng asked the merchant: "Kula No. 1 infectious disease?" Are you sure? It's unlikely, as far as we know, once the epidemic breaks out, the city is finished, and now the city is peaceful, nothing should happen, right? ”

The merchant smiled and said: "Anyway, this news was told to me by an officer who knew about it, and I just heard about it and passed it on to you, in short, I have to leave tomorrow, there is only one life, and if I don't have a life, no matter how much money I make, it will be in vain." ”

"Well, thank you, we'll get off here." Tang Shuxing opened the car door and got out of the car, but the merchant looked at them with a surprised look, he didn't expect the three of them to really go to "send them to death". (To be continued......)
