Chapter 234: Survivor
Hearing Sophia's cheers, Carl only smiled slightly, looking at the worm slave below who had begun to gradually move away, and did not dare to relax a little in his heart.
As long as they stay in this environment, then there is no reason to let themselves go.
"Don't worry, the worm slaves under the tall building haven't completely dispersed yet, and we can't ......leave smoothly for the time being," Carl said unhurriedly after glancing around.
"That's right! If we rush to fly away from the altitude now, it is very likely that we will attract the attention of those worm slaves again, and all the previous waiting and efforts will be in vain! ”
Leo said as he turned on the telecommunicator on his wrist.
It's 8 o'clock in the morning, which means it's been 8 hours since they entered Českée Plzeň!
Eight hours had passed, and they had only advanced less than one-sixth of the distance, and they were surrounded and killed by a large number of insect slaves, and almost capsized in the gutter.
"Carl, looking at the current situation, there will be at least a while before those worm slaves leave, why don't we settle breakfast first!" John, on the side, finally felt a trace of hunger and exhaustion after the danger.
Often when they need to cheer up all the time, the consumption of their physical strength is also extremely huge.
"Okay, let's take a break, according to my estimate, in 10 minutes, those worm slaves below should be almost gone!"
So everyone sat around the wall battlements at the top of the tall building with a look of comfort.
For this mission, the dry rations prepared by Sergeant Andy for them were all the standard compressed dry rations used in the army for emergency response.
This standard compressed dry food is designed to be small in size, but can provide the drinker with the necessary energy and water in a short period of time.
In this case, these compressed dry foods completely abandon the so-called texture, and the taste is the same as chewing wax, so that Carl and the others eat one by one with a pale face and no sense of experience at all.
Fortunately, they are not recruits who have just joined the army, and at this time, they will not easily complain about the taste of dry food, which is really too naïve.
After hastily finishing eating, Carl asked Bai Ling to give John and each of them a little bit of battle spirit power, there was still a long way to go, and he didn't want John to be exhausted halfway through.
As for himself, there is a big guy behind him, Phoenix Phoenix, who does not need to think about the lack of combat spiritual power at present.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and when Carl and the others got back to their feet, most of the entire tall building was swimming away in other directions, except for a few scattered bug slaves.
After Carl and Leo had identified each other's directions, they each took one of them and flew towards the ground below.
When they all landed together, John quickly landed beside them, and as soon as they landed, Karl hurriedly beckoned them and ran towards a side alley.
Sure enough, when they ran into the alley in time, there were several worm slaves, quickly walking to the place where they had just landed.
Even after touching the ground when landing, there was such a slight noise, but it still successfully attracted the surrounding insect slaves!
Karl and them, who were hidden in the shadows, looked at the few insect slaves who refused to disperse for a long time, and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads silently.
I believe that if they leave a few steps too slowly, I am afraid that it will cause a great commotion.
Looking up at the sky in the distance, there are still many buildings nearby that are constantly rising and billowing smoke, it seems that the war spirit team in that area has still not succeeded in getting rid of the pursuit of the worm slave!
"Let's go, for now, it's still subject to the execution of the task, time waits for no one! We are still a long way from the Institute of Science and Technology! ”
Karl grimaced, forcing himself to give the order to move on.
Although John and the others had the intention to rescue the war spirit team in that area, it was a pity that they had the intention to kill the enemy and had no power to return to the sky.
After hesitating for a long time, they could only be like Carl, and finally recognized this cruel reality. The group once again identified the direction and continued on the road to the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Although they were only a sixth-sixth of the way forward, after a few minutes of further walking, the situation on the street became more complicated.
"This ...... It must be a shopping street, right? Leo stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and his voice trembled.
"I guess so...... It seems that at the time of the disaster, the commercial street happened to be overcrowded, and in the eyes of the rampaging Zerg, so many people were excellent rations......"
Carl gritted his teeth and replied a little helplessly.
This whole street was filled with worm slaves, and just a few days ago, these people were all living people!
Suddenly, a sense of disgust appeared in Carl's heart, why would that Dr. Vincent study such an extremely dangerous research project?
If it weren't for the project he was researching, then this research project wouldn't have gotten out of control, and there wouldn't have been a so-called Zerg riot!
The whole of Česklos, the millions of inhabitants, were all turned into ugly worm slaves by this time...... Is it worth it?
At this point, Carl suddenly became confused...... He is not in the upper echelons of the Gamma Empire, and for the time being, he cannot see the importance of this research project for the Gamma Empire.
However, he watched these millions of inhabitants become such ugly insect slaves because of this research project!
At least, the inhabitants of Plzeň, Czech Republic, have been extremely innocent from beginning to end......
Just when Carl was very entangled in his heart, Leo said on the side: "Carl, look over there, there is a situation!" ”
Karl was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked in the direction that Leo was pointing.
On the street about a few hundred meters away, there is nothing unusual except for the dense insect slaves......
Wait a minute! Carl's eyes suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously used his fire phoenix vision.
Although the insect slaves on the street are all wandering around aimlessly, outside of a shop near the street, there are 4 insect slaves gathered very bizarrely!
If there were humans in that shop, the most normal behavior of these 4 insect slaves would definitely be to work hard to destroy the doors and windows of that shop, and try their best to break into the store.
But what Carl and the others saw was that the four worm slaves were standing in front of the shop in a faint semicircle.
The three worm slaves used their bodies to block the middle one inside, and they kept shaking their bodies, letting out a blurry roar in place.
The most important thing is that the worm slave inside ...... "Damn!" That guy is actually sliding the door and picking the lock? ”
After Carl saw the insect slave's movements clearly, he immediately scolded. When will the worm slave still slip the door and pick the lock?
"That's not right! These 4 worm slaves...... Not real bug slaves, they're human ...... in disguise."
After hearing Carl's affirmative reply, John and the others were all shocked. If these 4 bug slaves are really pretended to be humans, it would be too much fun!
How could they rely on a simple disguise to successfully infiltrate the ranks of the worm slaves? And, if they can escape the mob slaves, why not just leave and stay in the city?
Play with fire? Seeking wealth and danger? This kind of knife tip to make money, it's inevitably too unworthy!
"Leo, are they here to collect money?" At this time, John couldn't understand the behavior of those people......
Leo shook his head, pointed to the shop, and said, "If you want to collect money, will you go to the food store?" ”
"Of course not...... However, judging from the scene in front of us, we still ignore one problem......"
Karl frowned and continued to his companions: "You say, what if there are human survivors in Czech Pilsen? ”
This sentence, like a thunderbolt from the sky, completely hit John and their hearts.
Yes, whether it is the Warrior Spirit squad that entered Pilsen, Czech Republic, or the city defense troops on the periphery, they have always believed in one fact.
That is, in this Czech Pilsen, since the Zerg riot, there are no human survivors in the entire city, except for millions of bug slaves!
But the 4 fake worm slaves in front of you are obviously 4 human survivors...... And their target, food stores...... It also revealed an obvious problem to Carl.
Perhaps, for the remaining human survivors in Czech Plzeň, the most important thing now is not possessions, but survival.
The question of survival, to put it bluntly, is very simple, the most basic is food and water.
According to the information obtained before, the entire Czech Plzeň directly cut off the water and electricity supply of the entire city after experiencing the Zerg riot.
As a result, the entire city, except for some shops selling food and drinking water, still have stocks, but these human survivors have no other source of food!
This scene in front of them also expresses a cruel truth to Carl, if these human survivors have enough food supplies, do they still need to risk so much to go to the streets to pick locks and scavenge for food?
If you're not careful, you'll be swarmed by insect slaves and torn apart on the spot!
"Carl, what do you think? Do we need to pick up the 4 human survivors? The point is that we still have a task to perform, and if we take 4 of them along the way, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! ”
Leo frowned, not sure what to do. In this case, it is up to Carl, the titular head of operations, to make the choice.
Karl glanced at the four survivors from a distance, shook his head and said, "Those four guys have no security problems for the time being, let's not approach them easily, otherwise, it will cause an uproar. It's not good to mess up! ”
Then Carl glanced at Leo, and then said, "You study the surrounding area, look at the surrounding terrain and environment, let's follow the four of them for the time being, and feel the situation!" ”
"No problem! It is indeed not a very wise choice to rush into approaching these survivors! Leo immediately took out his telecomm and began to study the nearby terrain and environment.
At this time, the survivor finally pried open the door of the food store, and after gently unlocking the door, he quickly entered the store.
The other three survivors were neatly blocking the door, relying on the disguise of themselves and others, constantly driving the other insect slaves away from the area.
"This kind of camouflage is very effective...... Not only can you successfully integrate into the team of worm slaves, but you can even guide those free worm slaves to move according to their own wishes......
Carl touched his chin and sighed in surprise. To be able to figure out the habits and weaknesses of these insect slaves in such a short period of time, could it be that Dr. Vincent personally guided them?
If you guess like this, it seems that Carl and the others must follow these survivors today and get a good look at the person behind them.
Perhaps, it will really be of great help to their mission!
At this time, the survivor who entered the food store had already walked out with a bulging backpack on his back again......
