Volume 1 The Beginning of the Cataclysm Chapter 158 Celebration
Shashi is located in the Eastern Province of the Central Plains Theater, and the nearest military region is the Nanqi Military Region, which is located in the provincial capital Nanqi City. Other military regions are thousands of kilometers away and will certainly not be the leaders of the Shashi airdrop operation.
However, the various types of equipment in the airdrop are messy, and the years of service are also very different, I really don't know which grandfather's arsenal was emptied by the Nanqi Military Region.
But then again, I don't know if such a mass drop of equipment is also being staged in other places. If it's really a nationwide operation, it's a big deal!
Regardless of wear and tear, the military unusually stuffed a number of different models of firearms into such a small box. Although most of the guns are old, they win by numbers, which is enough to show the sincerity of the military.
The guns in the weapon box have been assembled, and there are even traces of wiping oil and cleaning, which shows that they have fully taken into account the objective fact that most ordinary people will not disassemble and load guns.
In the last days, order collapses, and the proliferation of guns will inevitably bring even greater chaos. But the military is still willing to do this, could it be that they have foreseen the apocalypse in the near future?
In the early stage of the catastrophe when corpse mutants were rampant and mutant beasts had evolved greatly, low-level evolutionaries without thermal weapons were simply vulnerable. If they are willing to take this risk or bear possible crimes in order to save more fire for mankind, then Lang Hua should admire the courage of these people.
After all, if you put yourself in that position, whether you will make a decisive strategic decision just because of a "prophecy post" is still two words.
Thinking like this, Lang Hua casually sent a branch into the fire in front of him.
The flames engulfed the branches in an instant, and the sparks that had been splashed up by the impact flew high with the heatwave, reflecting the fleeting red dots of light in his pupils.
……
It's been two days since I got the airdrop. In the past two days, the survivors have returned the same way, once again passing through the sparsely populated suburban area, and are now only one step away from the boundary of Shashi.
If nothing else, they will be able to enter the Fengwei Mountain jungle southwest of Shashi as soon as tomorrow evening.
However, walking through the jungle at night in the post-apocalyptic world is something that only fools do, and according to Lang Hua's plan, it is best for the survivor team to set off in the morning and go deep into the jungle, so that they can reach the base before evening.
This is a factory area, which was abandoned as early as 70 years ago during the "forest restoration movement", and after the withdrawal of foreign investment, it is even more deserted, and now it is full of weeds.
Two days ago, after the team finished collecting the crystal nucleus, they came all the way here with the weapons and equipment they had scavenged. When you arrive at the outskirts of the city, it is easy to find a store in front of the village and behind the village. But camping in the wilderness is always more dangerous, so the abandoned factory area in front of you has become the best choice.
It was already evening, and people gathered in the central warehouse of the abandoned factory to cook and rest. The evolutionaries didn't have the time or energy to find out if there were a few scattered black corpses hiding elsewhere. So they'll rest in the warehouse right here after dinner.
As the weather cooled down in early winter and people fleeing for the lack of bedding, the best way to do this was to light multiple bonfires and gather around them in groups of people to keep warm. I don't know what used to be stored in the warehouse, and the roof is high and the space is extremely spacious, so people can't help but sit together and whisper to their acquaintances.
After receiving the order to open the fire and cook, the survivors did not dare to go far, and picked up some branches and dead grass nearby. The water in the pots of different materials quickly boiled, and the canned food churned and the aroma bubbled up. Yang Xiaoxiao was coaxed by Yang Bensheng to become a guard before midnight when she was hungry, and she was inevitably dissatisfied. Also as a guard was Zhou Jin, which made her even more unhappy.
In the second half of the night, there will be other people on duty in turn, guarding the door of the warehouse after everyone has fallen asleep, alert to possible changes around them.
"Damn black boy, next time Miss Ben won't beat you up." Yang Xiaoxiao puffed angrily, pointing to the orchid kneading a blade of grass fiercely, as if between those two fingers was someone who had "uncommon hatred".
Being on guard in the first half of the night means that you can sleep peacefully and undisturbed in the second half of the night. But Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to deliberately ignore this point, and insisted on blaming the sin of starvation on Duan Hei's leakage last time.
"Why isn't it a lady to steal ham from someone else's bowl? No matter how much you can't stop people from eating! If I start late, the hot pot balls I have been thinking about will definitely be fished away. ”
"The stinky boy who killed a thousand knives, I ate you. Crunch, crunch, ......," she said, and threw the blade of grass in her hand into her mouth and munched on it.
The expression was as vicious as the grinning tiger in the zoo. Only when passing by Zhou Jin's side, Yang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and fiercely spit out the chewed grass blades to the ground.
"It's hard to chew." Yang Xiaoxiao said loudly, "Bah, what a thing!" ”
……
Section 2: Suspicions
As the saying goes, with a gun in hand, people don't panic, although the effect of guns and bullets on black corpses is limited, but under the catalysis of hot meals and drinks, even if it is a fleeing team, the atmosphere can't help but slowly come alive.
"Brother Sun, your wine is good, where did you get it?"
"Nonsense, of course it's good wine. Before leaving, I turned the 'Coast Bar' upside down, and then I found these smuggled goods. ”
The smug person in front of him is Sun Gui, one of the four newly awakened abilities among the survivors of the rooftop, with a power-type ability "immovable as a mountain", and a lack of offensive means, but the defense is really good.
"What? Think Lao Tzu is not worthy of these good wines? Sun Gui held the wine glass and looked intently at the few people around him, his eyes flickering with the flames, as if there was a sharp edge.
"Oh, Brother Sun, look at what you said." The thin man next to him laughed, "It's worth it if you can bring this wine out." We've all heard that your 'immovable mountain' can't even be taken by Chen Chong. In the future, I will have to rely on you to take care of me. ”
Another person also hurriedly stepped on the low and raised the high: "Yang Qinghuan's lady should have brought you good wine a long time ago, but she really didn't have the eyesight to take it out before leaving." If you want our brothers to say, you don't deserve this good wine, so who else......"
After the ability was awakened, Sun Gui privately tried it with Chen Chong. However, it is one thing for Chen Chong not to hurt him, but he also has no way to deal with the other party. The passively beaten "hard-shelled turtle" didn't sound good, so Sun Gui suddenly felt that his face was hot.
He chewed a bite of vegetables and interrupted: "You are wrong, I didn't use that girl as a guide." Besides, I want her to agree to something from someone who is capable? Joke. ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Sun's ability is unparalleled, and he will definitely be able to ...... in time"
"Ahem." Sensing that someone was approaching, Sun Gui hurriedly signaled the people around him to shut up.
"Boss Sun, do you mind if I sit down and have a drink?" The person who came was Lao Zhao, who looked smiling.
"Yo, Brother Zhao can sit if you want to." Sun Gui shrugged.
After the night of the bar awakening, the survivors on the rooftop had vaguely divided into several small groups, and they were scattered and silent to each other during their usual cooking and rest. Among the four, except for Wang Ming, who is cowardly and taciturn, the other three have a few people behind them. Among them, Chen Chong's "little brother" is the most, followed by Sun Gui, and then Lao Zhao. However, Lao Zhao has been very close to Zhou Jin recently, so Sun Gui has to care.
Lao Zhao is thin, but his mouth is good. Sun Gui quickly became familiar with each other when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.
"Boss Sun's 'immovable as a mountain' is really amazing, that black corpse yesterday is like tickling you." Lao Zhao and Sun Gui frequently clinked glasses, "You are really hidden." ”
"Where, where", Sun Gui said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhao's 'strengthening' is not weak." After the two fists are hardened, they are comparable to gold and stone, and a pair of iron fists are far superior to ordinary weapons. ”
"Haha, brother is polite. In the future, we will be in the same team, but we must support each other. ”
"Hehehe." Sun Gui smiled dryly, "It must be." ”
As a few people talked, the conversation inevitably turned to Lang Hua.
"At that time, when the petrochemical plant exploded, we were deeply trapped in a tide of corpses, with wolves in front and tigers in the back, and we couldn't advance or retreat. I almost thought I was going to die there. Lao Zhao put down the wine glass and said with palpitations.
"It's not," Sun Gui said with a look of reminiscence, "At that time, Lang Hua and Doctor Zhou were incomparable in battle at the front of the team, and they looked like gods. I thought to myself, if I can be that kind of character, then I should use every day to worry about whether I can see the sun the next day......"
"Well, the time comes...... Hey. Sun Gui put down his glass and said no more.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." Lao Zhao Shen thought it was true, "Brother Sun is talented, so he is naturally no worse than anyone else." ”
"You're ......"
Sun Gui picked up the wine glass and was about to drink again, but unexpectedly, Lao Zhao suddenly changed his words, which made him dispel the idea of continuing to drink.
Lao Zhao said leisurely: "But...... Compared with Lang Hua, Brother Sun is probably a little worse. ”
"Ability awakening is also divided into first come, first come, first come." Lao Zhao smacked his lips and explained, "He always eats a few more days of dry food than us." ”
"So what?" Sun Gui got angry for some reason, "His evolutionary ability is so powerful, why don't you save more people?" It's not that I'm afraid of death and selfish. ”
"Maybe it's because of the limitations of my ability, I can't take care of it?" Lao Zhao asked tentatively.
"! What is a little black corpse to a capable person? Sun Gui was arrogant, but his expression gradually became complacent, "Alas, it's a pity that I wasn't capable at the time, otherwise those S1 and P1 would be a fart in my opinion." Even if I stood there and didn't understand, those ghost monkey paws would just tickle me. ”
"Then why didn't he save more people?" As soon as the two of them said this, even the evolutionary next to them was puzzled.
"Hey, why?" Sun Gui laughed strangely when he heard it, "If it's not good, Lang Hua did it on purpose." After all, there are a number of crystal nuclei, if there are more people who survive, where is there enough points? ”
"Shhhh The short evolver panicked, "It's terrible for him to hear it." ”
This man glanced at Lao Zhao several times with his spare eyes, as if remembering his experience of almost being killed.
Lao Zhao noticed this person's small movements, and his face became a little dark.
At this time, Sun Gui raised his arm and patted the two of them on the shoulder with a sense of righteousness to show comfort: "What are you afraid of?" Dare to do it, but don't you dare to let people say it? We are also capable now, not a head shorter than him! ”
Only then did Lao Zhao's face soften.
"However, it was the crystal nucleus that Lang Hua gave us." The Evolver was still a little hesitant.
Sun Gui's face suddenly became gloomy.
This person really doesn't know the current affairs, and he has said this twice, but he still loses his face again and again. Right now, Sun Gui has the mind to kill this person with his own hands!
He immediately said angrily: "What sharing? There was already a copy of Lao Tzu in this. Lao Tzu also broke out of the sea of corpses and blood. ”
But he may have forgotten that he did break out of the sea of corpses and blood, but he "broke out" with his head covered, or rather...... Escaped. When a wave of corpses ravaged the pedestrian street, Sun Gui never made any more killings, except for the strong firepower of thermal weapons at the beginning, when he killed two black corpses.
In that difficult situation, the warriors will only die faster.
It is true that most of those who rose up to resist died, but people like him, who were sheltered by the remnants of the able-bodied.
At that time, Sun Gui didn't even know where to lose the gun in his hand. Fortunately, he was lucky to awaken his ability later, otherwise I am afraid that he would have to turn back into that defenseless little person who was killed by others.
This was the case, but Sun Gui didn't blush at all.
With the strength of the wine, he even said his innermost thoughts: "What's wrong? If you want me to say that in the last days we should share. The ancestors have said that it is appropriate to help each other. Where is the conscience of those who do not help their fellow citizens? I think it should be divided equally to be really fair. What's the point of pinching the big head yourself? Lang Hua must have better potions and better equipment in his hands, why not take them out and share them? Bah, I really don't have a collective concept! ”
"Hardshell King," a voice suddenly shouted, "What did you just say?" ”
"Who! Who's talking? Sun Gui suddenly hit a spirit in a daze, "Yang Xiaoxiao, it's you!" ”
He said in his heart: "Damn, how did you let this little devil hear it." ”
However, Sun Gui refused to show cowardice: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with what I said? Breaking the law? ”
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth", Yang Xiaoxiao pulled out a wolf tooth dagger from her waist, "I see that you have itchy skin!" ”
"Cheap girl", Sun Gui blushed and said in a low voice, "I really thought I was afraid of you?" ”
In the blink of an eye, Sun Gui's pupils turned crimson, and the ground around him trembled slightly, which was the precursor to the initiation of the earth-based ability!
At this time, Lao Zhao unexpectedly pressed his shoulder.
"Brother Sun, don't be impulsive." Lao Zhao glanced to the side, "Don't hurt the harmony." ”
Sun Gui looked along his line of sight, and saw that Lin Wenjin's father and daughter had already stood up and looked over here, and most of the fire in his heart was instantly extinguished.
Lan Xi, who was standing in the nearest place, had already quietly stood over with his sword, and although Zhou Jin was close to them, he seemed to ignore them and did not react.
But Yang Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
"Don't dare to talk nonsense again", Yang Xiaoxiao grinned and showed two sharp tiger teeth, and said coldly to Sun Gui, "Be careful that I chop you alive!" ”
"You!"
Sun Gui stuffed his chest, only feeling that his eyes were full of stars, and he almost didn't suffocate himself.
……
The bright area of bonfires is actually very small compared to the huge warehouse. Where the crowd gathered, the orange-red flames flickered and flickered, and the contrast with the surrounding darkness was obvious.
At this moment, Zheng Langhua was sitting alone by the campfire in the corner, thinking about something, and I don't know if he heard these gossip in his ears.
