33. Feel the whistle
Supermarket trolleys are a great thing, they can be used to hold the goods they want to buy in peacetime, they can be used to carry heavy machine guns and ammunition in wartime, and they can even be used to transport corpses after the end of the world.
"I said you have to use this cart to transport corpses?" Looking at Ding Hao, who was humming a little song and pushing the cart, Lydia couldn't help but ask.
"Would you like to come and carry the body with me?" Ding Hao glanced at Lydia.
"Uh......" Lydia thought for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "Forget it, the trolley is fine." ”
The combined weight of the two corpses is not light, Ding Hao can't carry it alone, and Lydia is unwilling to help because of the night demon wrapped in it, so she can only use this method to solve it.
"Ding Hao, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it." It didn't take long for Ding Hao to walk away, and the tactical terminal on Ding Hao's wrist suddenly rang, and when he clicked on the screen, he found that it was Si Teji calling him.
"This is Ding Hao, what's the matter with me?"
"Have you completed Dr. Zare's mission?"
"Of course, I'm rushing back now."
"Lydia with you?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I order you two not to return to the stronghold now, when will I inform you, when will you come back."
"Uh......" After listening to Si Teji's order, Ding Hao was stunned for a long time, "Are you kidding?" I have two corpses here, and if I don't go back, the corpses will rot! ”
"I really didn't play...... Rumble! Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud bang, and after the loud noise, Ding Hao also heard the sound of gunshots, the explosion of grenades, and the shouts of people from the radio, in short, it sounded chaotic.
"Stergee? Stergee? You okay? What the hell are you doing over there? Ding Hao couldn't help but be anxious when he heard these voices, the paralyzed car was not done yet, this volunteer stronghold can't have an accident!
"Ahem......" A series of Stryge's coughs came over the radio, "I'm fine, Jace's men are attacking us now, don't come back until the battle is over." ”
"What are you kidding?" Listening to Si Teji's words, Ding Hao couldn't help but get angry, "Do you think I look like the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Tell me about the marauders, and I'll go and follow them! ”
Ding Hao has a characteristic of doing things, that is, he is conscientious. Although he did not join the Volunteers, in order to get a car, Ding Hao promised to be hired by the Volunteers for a period of time until he got the car. Since it is still an employment relationship, there is no reason for an employer to fight life and death in the front, while he is drinking tea in the rear.
Besides, where does the experience come from if you don't kill people, and how can you level up without experience?
"You ......" Hearing Ding Hao's words, Si Teji choked, "Okay, okay, since you are so insistent." I reckon the marauders are out in the nest this time, with no less than 500 men coming and storming the stronghold, but we can hold on. If you really want to help us, try to take out their boss, without command, these marauders won't be much better than a pack of monkeys. ”
"There are some buildings with slightly higher floors to the southeast of the stronghold, and I suspect that the boss of the marauders is hiding there and directing the marauders." Stergi said.
"Okay, let's go."
"You heard him too." After hanging up the communication, Ding Hao looked at Lydia, "I'm going to help now, will you come along?" ”
"Of course, I think you'll need my sniper backup." Lydia smiled sweetly and shook the HCAR in her hand.
Ding Hao first found a cooler and hidden place to hide the two corpses, don't finish the battle, the materials that the two corpses had finally gotten were rotten, and then ran towards the location mentioned by Steji with Lydia.
The location he was referring to was a residential complex 500 meters southeast of the Volunteer stronghold, each of which had 10 floors of apartment buildings, but most of them were dilapidated due to the erosion of time, and many of them had even collapsed into pieces.
"There are marauders carrying the corpses of ghouls, and it's almost certain that their forward base must be in this residential area." Ding Hao and Lydia hid in the distance and observed the scene inside the community with binoculars, looking at the busy marauders, Ding Hao confirmed Steji's judgment.
"The view is good enough that you should be able to see most of the community." Lydia looked left and right, then pointed to an intact apartment building in the westernmost part of the neighborhood. "If you want to get in, I can give you sniper cover on the roof of that building."
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs first, send me a message when you're ready, and then you snipe to cover me in."
"Okay."
The sniper site chosen by Lydia as a complete apartment building at the very edge of the entire neighborhood has been used as a watchtower by the marauders, and all Lydia has to do at the moment is to quietly kill all the sentries in this watchtower and then occupy it.
Fortunately, not believing that the Volunteers would take the initiative to attack, the Marauders sent very few sentinels here, only five men. Two on the second floor, two on the 7th floor, and one on the roof for observation.
Lydia stood on the outside of the apartment building, and with a throw of her hand, a hook was thrown by Lydia up to the fourth floor, hooked on a windowsill on the fourth floor, and then Lydia grabbed the hook and climbed up the outside of the wall, and after climbing between the second and third floors, Lydia changed the position of the hook to fix it on her lower back, and hung herself face down on the outer wall of the apartment building.
Ordinary people will subconsciously shift their gaze when looking out of the window, so the upper part of the window will become a visual blind spot, and it will win a 0.5-1 second lead for the soldier when breaking into battle.
This short second is the dividing line between life and death.
Lydia hung upside down from the outside of the wall and slowly moved to the left, soon finding two marauders chatting at the top of the staircase. The two of them stood on one side of the staircase, still holding an iron barrel gun in their hands, and if Lydia had chosen to come up the stairs before, then it would inevitably be a hard fight, and even if she failed the mission and was killed on the spot.
Now......
Lydia carefully moved her position with her gun in her hand, looking for the best point of attack.
"Do you think the Volunteers will attack us?" Unaware of the danger that was coming, the two marauders were still chatting happily.
"Who knows, we just need to guard this step, and leave the rest alone. Compared to the unlucky ones who take the initiative to attack, we are all lucky! ”
Looking at the two overlapping figures in the scope, Lydia, who was hanging upside down outside the window, immediately pulled the trigger. A pointed .30-06 bullet spun out of the muzzle of the gun at a speed of 840 meters per second under the impetus of the projectile, flew into the building through the hole in the window, and hit the back of the marauder with his back to Lydia in an instant.30-06 The kinetic energy of the bullet was as high as 3450 joules, and the kinetic energy of the bullet was released to the fullest, tearing the flesh and blood of the marauder into a shredded pulp. After penetrating the first marauder, the bullet rolled into the chest of the second marauder, shattering the marauder's ribs inch by inch, and after crushing the lobes of the marauder's lungs, flew out of the window behind him.
The two marauders shook their bodies and fell together, blood pooling into a stream on the floor.
It seems that these two people are not as lucky as they think.
After killing the two Marauders, Lydia climbed into the apartment building through the fourth-floor window and went up the stairs, where the two Marauders on the seventh floor were standing in front of the window watching the battle in the distance, unaware of the tiptoeing Lydia.
It was very simple, Lydia directly shot the two inattentive sentinels down, and blood suddenly covered the walls.
"Ding Hao, help me see where the sentry on the top floor is." Standing on the 10th floor of the staircase leading to the top floor, Lydia whispered into the radio.
"Wait a minute...... After more than ten seconds, Ding Hao's voice sounded again, "She is now standing on the north side of the building, facing the direction of the Volunteer stronghold. ”
"Okay." After getting the information she wanted, Lydia quietly pushed open the iron door of the stairwell. The door to the stairwell was facing south, and the sentry standing on the north side could not see the open door even if he had eyes on his back, and Lydia took out a small mirror to determine the sentry's position, and found that she was engrossed in the battle in the distance, not paying any attention to the situation behind her, so she pulled out her hook and quietly touched the back of the marauder.
The marauder was still a woman, and although she was also a woman, Lydia showed no mercy, and put the hook in her hand around the neck of the female sentry like lightning, and then turned sharply, using her shoulder, so that the hook rope grabbed the female sentry's neck and lifted her up.
"Ho...... Ho ......" The attacked female sentry began to struggle frantically, picking at the rope around her neck with one hand, and waving desperately forward with the other, but it didn't work, because of the lack of oxygen in the brain, the feeling of dizziness and exhaustion gradually poured into the female sentry's brain, and the eyes were black for a while, and the struggling arms began to sweak and weak, she became more and more sleepy, and wanted to sleep well......
"You have your way, I have my choice, and no one can complain about anyone." Lydia placed the body on the ground and pulled out a slender metal jar from her backpack.
"It's a very powerful weapon, you can place it on the door frame as a mine, it can help you deal with the enemy who is sneaking closer, but don't get too close to yourself, or you will die." Lydia looked at the aluminum can in her hand, and recalled Ding Hao's solemn expression when he handed the can to herself.
"But looking at this appearance, it doesn't look serious at all." Lydia complained, and placed it as a trip mine in the staircase leading to the top floor, which was dimly lit, and it was not easy to find a translucent fishing line.
Once the trap has been set, Lydia throws the hook to the roof of a nearby building and hooks it to escape. After preparing for the back road, Lydia leaned on the edge of the roof to set up her HCAR rifle, opened the scope, adjusted the focus, and prepared to snipe.
