Chapter 281: Dead Place 1 (I)
Chen Badai drove around for a long time, and finally found a rut mark in the snow, this discovery made Dick excited again, and followed the rut mark to turn a small hill, and saw some vehicles sparsely parked under a mountain from a distance, but no one was seen.
Chen Badai parked the car not far from the construction site a little strangely, and the big hole drilled out of it can already be seen here, the diameter of the big hole drilled into the mountain is about two meters, enough for a person to walk upright in it, the hero of the drilling - the shield machine is parked at the edge of the cave at this time, the four orange police lights in the corner of the shield machine are still rotating, and there are still some mud drilled out around, the iron arm of a loader is crooked to the side, and two engineering vehicles full of soil are parked there. The whole picture seems to have suddenly stopped in the middle of the project, frozen in this wasteland.
"Dick, where's the people here?" Chen Badai felt that this situation was not normal.
Dick looked at the map again and scolded in a low voice, "These people are a little off!" ”
Dick's words made the mayor a little nervous, he didn't care about where the drillers went, he cared if he missed the diamond mines......
Although Dick gave them precise coordinates and told them to dig down, the drillers obviously felt that they were more professional, and Dick was asking for a tight deadline, anyway, he was going to go into a hole underground, and after using the terrestrial radar to explore, the engineer decided to dig from here with minimal work, anyway, he could let Dick go where he wanted to go anyway.
But Dick didn't know what caused the sudden halt of the work, where the drillers had gone, and where the work had got. Since escaping from the town, the last news he received from the engineering team was that it had been opened, and when he saw the passage to the cave inside, Dick thought that he might take a detour, but he could always find it......
The place where the engineering team was digging was about two kilometers away from Dick's designated location, but it was impossible for Dick to go back and dig a hole now, and he had to go in and have a look anyway.
"Hello! Hello! Anyone? Dick asked everyone to put on protective clothing, Chen Badai parked the car in the middle of the construction site, first honked the horn a few times, and shouted for a while, but still no one answered, and the construction site was empty.
Several people scattered to look for it, Chen Badai climbed into the cab of the shield machine, and found that the key was rotated in the starting position, Chen Badai pulled out the key, and started again, only to hear the sound of the motor idling, but the engine could not start, Chen Badai checked the fuel count again, and found that the fuel tank had bottomed out.
The other vehicles were not much better, everyone seemed to have disappeared at the same time, the kitchen stove set up in the camp had long been extinguished, Chen Badai lifted the oil tank and shook it, it was also empty, the big pot on the stove was potato stewed beef, the thick pale yellow butter had already solidified, Chen Badai found a kitchen knife and inserted it, under the severe cold, the whole pot of food had long been frozen into big ice cubes, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.
When they got together again, they all shook their heads at each other, indicating that they hadn't found anyone.
"That's weird, isn't it, where have all the people gone?" Mr. Min muttered under his breath, but there was a headset in the protective mask, and his low muttering was heard by everyone.
"It's so advanced!" Chen Badai couldn't help but sigh. Just now Dick introduced this is a carbon fiber material, not only light, strong and durable, there is also an aerospace science and technology temperature control system, the key parts are also supported by titanium alloy brackets, protecting muscles and bones while not causing obstacles to action, an air filtration system on the right waist is only the size of two fists, it is enough to filter clean air from pollution, and on the left waist is an air monitoring box, which can monitor air quality in real time, if you reorganize an excretion system and feeding system, it will be perfect......
"Could it be too cold for them to hide in a hole?" After Chen Badai finished speaking, he felt that he would not believe this, who would throw things in the ice and snow and run to the cave?
"Let's go, go in and have a look......" Dick said with determination, looking at the swarthy cave.
"Really going?" Chen Badai asked, feeling a little hairy in his heart.
"Dick, are there really diamonds in there?" The mayor couldn't hold it anymore, he turned on the helmet lamp on his helmet, and the light of the three powerful headlamps shone into the hole, and he faintly saw that the hole was tilting downward.
The hole dug by the shield machine is relatively smooth around it, this is a frozen ground shape, there is almost no interference from hard stones, Chen Badai saw that the huge rotating teeth at the front end of the shield machine are almost not worn, and the hole can accommodate two people to advance side by side and will not appear crowded, but there is occasionally a pile of dirt on the ground that has not been cleaned, but in general, the ground of this hole is still very flat.
"There's some slight contamination in the cave, but I don't think it's contagious." Dick was still very careful, and looked at the air detection values.
Everyone walked in for a while, still lifeless, Chen Badai couldn't help but glance back at the entrance of the cave, only to see the safety lights on the roof of the shield locomotive at the entrance of the cave constantly flashing.
"Mr. Min, do you remember the dead man we saw walking in the coffin mountain?" Chen Badai suddenly said in the headset.
Chen Badai suddenly talked about it, which startled Mr. Min.
"Do you say the people here are dead or alive?" Chen Badai asked again.
"Medically dead, in kinesiology, it seems that it should be alive." Mr. Min didn't know what it was.
"Well, the dead man in the coffin mountain was carried in by the devourers, and the saliva secreted by the devours softened the stiff muscles and joints. Is the dead here really a zombie virus, as Wang Xingguo said? Chen Badai couldn't stop talking when he was nervous.
Mr. Min didn't say anything because he didn't know what was going on.
"Dick, your ancestor didn't have any hints? For example, how to kill these living dead, how to escape for their lives, etc., ......" Chen Badai couldn't help but ask Dick.
"The manuscript left by old Tchaicher is said to be very detailed, but part of it was lost, and part of it was in Tchaikov's house, and he refused to return it to me!" Dick said fiercely.
"Well, the law of horror stories, the most important information is always lost...... Chen Badai summed it up, judging from the situation of these few fights with the living dead, it seems impossible to kill them again, Chen Badai saw a living dead whose head was cut off by a bullet and was still stumbling forward, which is much more powerful than the zombies created by the Ambrera T virus!
"I wonder now, can our protective clothing keep the living dead at bay?" Chen Badai felt that this question was important, and Dick was able to answer it.
"After testing, the bayonet is impenetrable, but whether it can protect against bullets has not been tried." Dick is still very confident in the protective clothing he ordered heavily.
"At least if you run into the living dead, you can fight!" Chen Badai comforted himself, and tightened the ice axe in his hand a little tighter, this was the only weapon in his hand.
Dick and the mayor felt that running into something was the best solution, and Chen Badai felt that Dick and they were all stupid, although he knew that guns were useless to the living dead, but having a weapon in his hand would at least have some psychological comfort.
In the silent cave, only the footsteps of a few people were heard, and there was no sound, and the cave dug out by the shield machine seemed to have no end, Chen Badai estimated that he had walked almost a kilometer, and couldn't help but admire the work efficiency of these people.
The shield machine is excavated obliquely downward, when digging through the 20 meters of permafrost, the next step is simply to cut cheese with a red-hot knife, because of the protection of the permafrost, the engineering team does not have to consider the risk of collapse, the underground soil layer is moderately soft and hard, which does not hinder drilling, but also can support the weight of the machinery, which is simply the best construction of the formation of the engineering team......
"If I encounter the living dead, I have to chisel his head to see what is inside...... Everyone was silent for a long time, and Chen Badai always felt that he should say something to relieve his tension.
"Ahh Everyone didn't want to listen to Chen Badai's words, so they sped up their pace and walked to the front, the front was Mr. Min and Dick, the two were about 1 meter apart, the mayor was three or four meters away in front of Chen Badai, Chen Badai also wanted to hold the mayor and ask him how the year's harvest was, when he suddenly heard Dick who was walking in the front let out an exclamation.
As soon as Chen Badai raised his head, he was suddenly shaken by the light of the head, and he couldn't see anything for a while, but he felt that his body was hit by someone, and he was unsteady on his feet, and when he finally raised his head, he turned his head to see that the lights in the passage were shaking, and Dick, Mr. Min, and the mayor had already run back......
"What's wrong?" Chen Badai muttered, but there were several figures printed on the protective mask, and Chen Badai didn't need to look at it to know what it was, so before Chen Badai's words fell, his feet had already turned and he was running back......
Chen Badai secretly complained in his heart, how could the other three people stop and wait for Chen Badai? In the blink of an eye, Chen Badai could no longer see the figure.
