Chapter 43: Exploration

According to Xiao Yan's thoughts, he was absolutely unwilling to disperse the power of the contractor. However, at the moment, there is a shortage of manpower, and if the two of them leave together, if the situation changes, it is likely that they will lose the excellent base.

"Limit the range and distance of this sortie, the distance is no more than 7.5 kilometers, and we must return after a maximum of 4 hours," Xiao Yan identified the addresses of several citizens on the map, and 12 of them had their homes within an acceptable radius, "If you are not within this distance, you can only count it, unfortunately we can't leave the base too far." If you can't wait, we'll be scheduled for the next operation. ”

The frustration of several citizens outside the combat radius was beyond words, but Xiao Yan's reasons were also very reasonable. And they can follow the team for a while, which is already very good compared to going on the road alone.

Xiao Yan and Luo Ze set off in one of the survivors' trucks. A convoy of fifteen vehicles drove out of the supermarket base, and Powell immediately followed the instructions to reseal the entrance with barricades.

This area is an upscale residential community with a small number of residents. Although there are a lot of obstacles caused by car accidents, they are still passable overall. The fifteen citizens are male and female, and their home addresses are also different, but fortunately, they are all within the area.

Zombies are already everywhere.

The trail is littered with burning shops, residences, and wandering walking corpses. The hearts of the survivors were lifted.

"There's the first target ahead, I'll see, Ms. Kelly, this is your home, right?" Luo Ze asked on the radio, there are many such simple communication devices in the supermarket, and everyone naturally takes them and uses them.

"Yes, yes, my husband and three children are at home." Ms. Kelly was already crying.

"Don't turn off the engine, I'll go in with Roze." Xiao Yan didn't wait for the car to stop, so he rushed down with Luo Ze, and Ms. Kelly also rushed the car directly to the door, banging on the door desperately.

Luckily, Kelly's husband opened the door carefully, armed with a shotgun, the three children hiding behind the couch, and a corpse lying on the floor in the living room.

"Honey, you're finally here. What happened? Mr. and Mrs. Kelly hugged tightly and briefly explained the situation. Mr. Kelly immediately ran out with a couple of packages and the children.

"He smashed the window and broke in, and I had to shoot him in the head." Mr. Kelly pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.

The group moved quickly to the second location, and several families in a row blocked the doors and windows after discovering that the situation was wrong. Several of them saw that their families had received it, so they asked to go back to the supermarket directly, and Xiao Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed. After all, this drags the family and has to fight, and the battle must be a mess.

"Ahead is the eighth goal." Luo Ze glanced at the map, "The damage around here is really bad, you see several houses collapsed in a row. ”

"Mr. Bailey, I remember you saying that your family is hiding in the basement, right?" Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at the broken streets and houses.

"Yes, yes, the basement of my house is very sturdy and sturdy." Mr. Bailey, the owner of the Hummer that carried Xiao Yan and them, couldn't help but sweat with nervousness when he saw his collapsed house, "There is a staircase in the garden that leads to the basement, and you can go down from there. ”

"Okay, let's go down, and the others will be on guard as before." Luo Ze showed his gloves and was the first to rush out of the car.

Mr. Bailey, with his own revolver, under the cover of Xiao Yan, who was holding an explosion-proof shield, groped his way to the garden with two contractors, where there was indeed a cement entrance, quite sturdy.

"Honey, it's me! Open the door. Bey tapped the basement door a few times, but no one answered.

"Get out of the way, stand back," Xiao Yan felt bad, stepped forward and pushed Bailey away, and split the door lock with an axe, "Luo Ze, don't worry, wait for me to go in first." ”

There was a stench of sewers coming from the basement, and the floor that should have been dry was littered with standing water and garbage. The chandelier on the roof flickered and flickered.

There was no one there.

"Greer, Healy, where are you?" An anxious Mr. Bailey shouted in panic, and all that could be heard was a faint echo.

"Wait, how can there be an echo!" Luo Ze, who was following behind, was taken aback. Xiao Yan looked at the echo, only to see that the walls at both ends of the basement had been drilled out of the walls at both ends of the 2-meter-high hole, and the dark and smelly tunnel did not know where it went.

"Nope! How so! Mr. Bailey crouched down with his head in his hands, "The walls of this basement are concrete. ”

Xiao Yan carefully inspected the two holes.

"If I'm not mistaken, the direction of this tunnel is in line with the collapsed houses we encountered along the way." Xiao Yan's heart tightened.

"The bulging ground too, oh my God! What kind of monster does this have to be," Roze said in a lost voice, "Mr. Bailey, let's go back to the car first and follow the traces on the ground. Mr. Bailey! ”

At the moment, the situation is unclear, and the safest solution is naturally to return to the ground with a wide field of vision. But Bailey, who was already out of proportion, didn't wait for Luo Ze to stop him, and rushed into a tunnel, chanting his family's name as he ran. Leaving the stunned Xiao Yan and Luo Ze.

"How about this, shall we go back to it ourselves?"

"Phew! Bang! Bang! Several successive gunshots rang out from the tunnel that Bailey rushed into, followed by Mr. Bailey's terrible screams, "Ahhh ”

There was a tremor on the ground, and the dust on the ceiling of the basement also fell off, scattering Xiao Yan and Luo Ze, and the vision became blurred.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Yan didn't need to see the target, nor did he need to rely on digital perception to know what was coming, he quickly set up his shield and covered Luo Ze to dodge towards the exit.

"Ahh A thick, long, disgusting, hideous creature rushed out of the hole, and although he had been prepared, Luo Ze was still frightened and screamed, startling Xiao Yan.

The creature was a meter thick, and it rushed straight towards Xiao Yan's shield, knocking the two of them into the corner of the wall. The monster is like a leech or earthworm that has been magnified countless times, and its huge mouthparts are like suction cups against the transparent riot shield, and in the open mouthparts are layers of sharp teeth, sucking on the surface of the riot shield and constantly wriggling, dripping yellow liquid.

The layers of teeth were also mixed with a large amount of scraps of flesh, bones, and clothing, barely revealing the relics of poor Mr. Bailey.

Luo Ze was so frightened that his long golden hair stood on end, and he vomited on the spot in disgust.

Xiao Yan tried his best to support the disgusting mouthparts, and after a while, he found that he still had strength left, so he immediately reached out and pulled out the blood axe, the left arm and body holding the shield flashed to the left, and his right hand hugged Luo Ze, who was vomiting, and fell out to the left.

The monster loosened its grip and plunged headlong into the wall. Xiao Yan, who had long been disgusted, put aside his shield, showed his steel teeth, and opened his bow left and right to chop down the thick and thick limbs that were black and black, and suddenly the yellow and black splashed out like a public toilet.

"You dealt 24 damage to the Burrower (degraded species) (40 damage, minus 40% damage reduction).

You have dealt 18 damage to the Burrower (degraded species) (30 damage, minus 40% damage reduction).

You have dealt 25 damage to the Burrower (degraded species) (44 damage, minus 40% damage reduction). ”

Although this meat worm has no means to fight back, the blood bar is also extremely thick, Xiao Yan slashed and jumped alive for a while, and finally simply bounced up, directly squeezing Xiao Yan out of the basement.

"What kind of skill is this monster, the damage reduction is too high!" Xiao Yan was covered in disgusting colorful mucus, but he still couldn't help but feel curious. This percentage damage reduction effect is similar to his own army-breaking talent, "I'll go down and slash it a few more times." ”

Luo Ze's face turned green with disgust, how could he have the heart to accompany him down, and he quickly found a faucet in the garden to open the valve. Thankfully, there is still water! When the clear water washed over her, the girl felt that the world was bright.

The burrowing worm fled as fast as possible, and Xiao Yan rushed back to the basement to find that it had dragged its long tail into the tunnel on the other side and disappeared without a trace. Xiao Yan didn't dare to drag on here, so he could only check it and hurriedly retreated.

Luo Ze was holding a rubber pipe in the garden and was desperately rinsing herself, and Xiao Yan, who was as dirty as a ghost, came out and scared her out again.

"Roze, let's leave first...... Yes! Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, a stream of water sprayed his face.

"Stay away from me! Stay back! I'll kill you here! Luo Ze charged him with a hose and opened the water valve wide.
