Chapter 288: Maybe There Are Survivors
This supposedly solid military base has all collapsed. The bare rocks looked even more old and ugly under the sun, like some bald man with leprosy scars, most of the barracks and warehouses had collapsed, and there were ruins everywhere, and the trestle built on the stone cliff was only an iron frame, standing alone, all of which had no life in it.
Yu Changsheng and Wang Houxiong stood in the setting sun, looking out at the desolate ruins in the distance.
"Is this the base you're looking for?" Wang Houxiong asked.
Yu Changsheng nodded, not disappointed in his heart, maybe this is much better than his expectations, judging from the degree of destruction of this military base, the weapons and equipment and military supply storage inside should be well preserved, even if it fails to meet with the army here, as long as it can be temporarily resupplied, it is not bad.
"Let's go in and see what happens." Yu Changsheng said in a deep voice.
The two stepped into the ruins, the outer walls and power grids had been completely torn apart, this was a very brutal force, not a simple impact, the three tanks were also subjected to the same attack, the iron armor and tracks had been dismantled into pieces, scattered on the ground, the barrels of the guns were crooked and broken, and the tanks inside obviously looked intact, but they stopped in the depths of the base like stiff sculptures, and did not move.
Yu Changsheng stood on the periphery and looked into the distance, there are a total of thirty garages exposed outside the southern base, and there should be this Type 59 medium tank inside, when the monster invaded the base, a total of seven tanks were dispatched in time, three of which were destroyed when they just came to the periphery of the base, and it looked like they were directly chopped by some kind of sharp giant blade from above, and they were broken in half. The other four were inexplicably paralyzed and stopped in place before they could get over, and the tanks in the other garages did not seem to be dispatched for unknown reasons.
The two of them could no longer find the original entrance to the base from these collapsed rocks on the periphery, so they could only turn over and continue to march deeper, as soon as the footsteps of the two stepped into here, the flies entrenched here began to buzz and scatter, like a black mist, exploded at once, and the ground was full of rotting corpses, these people's hideous expressions before death were forever fixed on their faces, and the rotten flesh made them look even more terrifying.
Yu Changsheng tried to avoid them as carefully as possible, but he would still inadvertently step on an arm or a thigh.
Compared to Yu Changsheng's caution, Wang Houxiong became very excited, after all, these rotten flesh was simply a gluttonous feast for him, he happily shuttled between the rotting corpses, constantly looking for carrion that could be used to fill his stomach, and ripped them off the poor skeleton, and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, along with the maggots that were still stuck in his body.
"Hahahaha...... I didn't think there were so many delicious things here. The more Wang Houxiong walked, the more excited he became.
Yu Changsheng observed these corpses as he walked, the sun was shifting westward, and the light had gradually become less bright, and then the dim light, Yu Changsheng found that these corpses had a common feature, that is, their state looked a little less like they were fully prepared, more like they were suddenly attacked by the enemy in an unsuspecting situation. If this is an ordinary shelter and some survivors with no combat experience, then it is not impossible for such a situation to happen.
But in this southern base, all the regular troops, the people here are all well-trained soldiers, and there will be people at each guard post in turn.
If there was a surprise attack here, even if there was no time to make a defensive strategy, it would not be like these corpses who lost their armor and some of them fell in a pool of blood before they even had time to change their combat uniforms. So what is it that causes these people to be negligent? Or is it that these monsters appear in such an unusual way that these people simply have no way to defend against them?
Thinking about it, the two of them had come to the four seemingly undamaged tanks, and Yu Changsheng found that next to the tanks, there were five corpses, which seemed to be still struggling to climb into the tanks before they died. But judging by what they were wearing, they were not combatants in tanks. And this tank is even more strange, unlike the destroyed tanks outside, they don't look damaged from the outside, it's more like when the **** came, suddenly paralyzed here.
What the hell is going on?
Yu Changsheng hesitated and climbed into the tank.
"You can also drive a tank?" Wang Houxiong asked.
"No, I just want to see what's going on here."
Yu Changsheng opened the lid above the tank, took a flashlight in his mouth, and shone it into the cockpit of the black hole, and a foul smell rose from the surface, accompanied by a stream of heat from the decomposing corpses and dense flies. Yu Changsheng went deeper, wanting to take a look, as soon as he entered the cockpit, he found a very strange thing, in a normal main battle tank, there are three positions: commander, driver, and gunner, but there are only two corpses in this tank. What's even more bizarre is that one of the corpses is only half, and it seems to have grown inside the tank, and he opened his hands in despair, and the lower half of his body has disappeared, as if it has been fused into the body of the tank.
What's going on? Could it be that this guy was attacked by brute force and embedded in the body of the car? Or maybe something cut off the body, and now only half of the body is left here.
Yu Changsheng approached the corpse, found a rifle from the side, and used the rifle to pull out the sticky corpses on the ground. But he was surprised to find that he couldn't push the corpse no matter how hard he tried, but the position of the corpse sank slightly. Yu Changsheng suddenly had a bold idea, and he tried to break the corpse's arms so that he could naturally fall downward. And just as Yu Changsheng had just completed this action, the corpse sank completely and fell into a large black hole.
Only then did Yu Changsheng see that there was a huge hole at the bottom of this seemingly undamaged tank, and this big hole was bottomless, and he didn't know where it was connected. However, this may also explain the strange situation of these tanks outside, these tanks are attacked from the underground almost at the same time, some kind of underground monster that can dig suddenly attack, destroying the four tanks that are ready to support from below, and it is because of this that these tanks are suddenly paralyzed, but from the outside they appear intact.
Yu Changsheng checked it again, and found nothing else, the big hole looked like a greedy mouth, and he couldn't wait to absorb everything that was close to it. Yu Changsheng tentatively approached, and then shone a flashlight inside, but found nothing other than the dark hole and the corpse stuck in the ground.
Yu Changsheng climbed out of the tank, and Wang Houxiong finally filled his stomach, lying lazily on the ground, constantly burping, and there was a maggot wriggling at the corner of his mouth, which was really a bit disgusting to watch.
"How? What did you find? The queen asked.
"This monster that suddenly attacked here probably has the ability to dig, these tanks were destroyed by them directly from the ground, they drilled into the inside of the tank from the ground, and then suddenly attacked, if you guessed correctly, the location in the base was also attacked by these monsters at the same time. That's why their corpses look so defenseless. Yu Changsheng guessed.
"Well, anyway, these guys are already dead, before dark, let's get out of here after resupplying, those monsters might come back." Wang Houxiong said.
"But what makes me feel a little strange is that if these monsters are the same kind of people we encountered before, according to the habits of these monsters, they will either kill and devour humans directly, or collect their corpses together and eat them slowly. But it's a bit strange that the dead in this base, despite their tragic deaths, don't seem to have been eaten by monsters. Yu Changsheng felt a little puzzled.
"Oh? Well, maybe these guys have already eaten? Just here to have fun. Wang Houxiong guessed.
"Judging from the situation of these people, it should be that the monster launched a sneak attack from inside the base at that time, and these people escaped from inside in a hurry, and these tanks should not be used to attack, but to escape. But as for why these monsters didn't eat these people, I still can't think of any reasonable reason, anyway, let's go ahead and go to the warehouse. Yu Changsheng said.
The two continued to go deeper, several of these barracks have been lifted upside down by monsters, and it is no longer possible to distinguish their original uses, inside these destroyed barracks, as Yu Changsheng expected, many huge holes were found, extending from the ground, these monsters were indeed sneak attacks directly from the ground, and those people outside were not to support the battle, but to escape directly from the barracks.
After searching for a long time in the ruins, the two finally found the storehouse, which was fortunately damaged, but the guns and ammunition inside were still well packed, and the food reserves were not destroyed. Here, Yu Changsheng changed his protective clothing and helmet, changed all his weapons, and found three larger tactical backpacks, which were filled with plenty of ammunition and food. This kind of tactical backpack, Yu Changsheng can only barely carry one on his back without affecting his normal travel, and the other two, Yu Changsheng handed it over to Wang Houxiong.
In this way, the reserves of food and ammunition are enough to meet Yu Changsheng's needs for a month.
After the two of them finished replenishing, Yu Changsheng put his backpack aside, and the sky had become a little drowsy at this time. Wang Houxiong was also feasting, and even became a little excited, and said to Yu Changsheng:
"Shall I do the same as you and prepare some food?"
Yu Changsheng glanced at the rotting corpses outside, and said angrily:
"Don't worry, such a corpse will not be broken all the way."
"Haha, okay, but what are we going to do next? Do you want to get out of here? Wang Houxiong smirked, but looked even uglier.
"No, there may be survivors in this base." Yu Changsheng muttered.
"What? Survivor? The queen's eyes widened.
