Chapter 12 Exploration
Faced with the fact that his actual combat ability was only at the level of a "chicken boy", Chen Xin didn't seem to think much about it, and immediately looked at Xie Guoping with bright eyes, and said with a firm face, "Old Xie, can I worship you as a teacher?" ”
Xie Guoping had been looking at Chen Xin playfully, planning to let Chen Xin follow him to explore the community, find the reason for the disappearance of the team members, and teach some common combat skills in the army on the way, but he didn't expect this Chen Xin to apprentice as soon as he opened his mouth.
It is not that there are no apprentices in the army, but they are all group activities organized by some officials such as "apprenticeship meetings" and "big pairs", and it has always been taboo to establish a private mentor-apprentice relationship in the army in the old era.
Although the current system is very different from the old era, Xie Guoping, who was born as a veteran, is still a little cautious about "apprenticeship".
"Xiao Chen, this is not popular in the army. I don't like to beat around the bush either, you follow me to the community today to investigate, and if you have a chance along the way, I will point you out. Let's talk about apprenticeship. Xie Guoping waved his hand and rejected Chen Xin's request to apprentice.
And Chen Xin's purpose is not really to establish a master-apprentice relationship, he just hopes to learn some real skills, such as the skills that Xie Guoping said before to really master his body, and he is not entangled in Xie Guoping's refusal to apprentice to him, seeing that Xie Guoping is still willing to teach himself something, he simply replied, "Okay!" So I'm joining the army? ”
Xie Guoping heard Chen Xin's reply, stretched out his hands, and put the 95 rifle that had been turned into a part in front of Chen Xin, "How can it be so easy to join the military department!" You're doing me a favor, I'm giving you some exercise advice. Let's take what we need, and we don't owe each other. ”
Chen Xin didn't think much about it, in his opinion, what Xie Guoping said was reasonable and well-founded, and there was no logical problem, but where did he think that as a military boss who understood the ability of the awakened, he had always had a welcoming attitude towards the ability to take refuge.
The reason why Xie Guoping said this was just because he didn't want him to join the Far East garrison, in his opinion, the military headquarters of the Far East garrison was different from the past, several bigwigs in the garrison were tense, and the subordinates of their respective factions almost had armed clashes in the military headquarters several times, and the fuse was all about grasping more power in the final analysis, and there was no longer the slightest shadow of the previous people's army.
Xie Guoping is a retired school officer of the 01 base, and he has always agreed with the atmosphere of the 01 base. Even if the virus breaks out now, he believes that under the leadership of Zhang Dingjun and several other generals, the 01 base will not be transformed into a Far East garrison.
Therefore, Xie Guoping naturally hopes to bring this Chen Xin to the 01 base, instead of officially joining this combat squad and becoming a soldier in the garrison.
"Before the sun sets, shall we set off now?" Chen Xin thinks that he is still very disciplined, and since he agreed to Xie Guoping to investigate together, he doesn't want to delay the investigation time by changing his ways.
"Xiao Chen, if it were you, who fled to this community, but completely ignored the fact that someone came to the rescue, what would it be for?" Xie Guoping didn't answer Chen Xin directly, but turned around and looked out the window, and asked him behind Chen Xin's back.
"Naturally, you can't move, or you can't see... You mean, underground!? Chen Xin followed Xie Guoping's gaze and looked at it, it was the entrance of the underground garage.
Xie Guoping nodded imperceptibly and said, "Yes, this is the only possibility." The code mark is broken here, and there is no sign of rushing out again, so ninety percent of them may be underground! ”
"That's why you don't care if it's daytime." Chen Xin nodded in response.
"Part of the reason, it's more important to be in a hurry! However, sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, and you will be given an hour of basic training before you set off", Xie Guoping turned his head to look at Chen Xin, grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "As an advance payment." ”
An hour later, Chen Xin and Xie Guoping had come around to the underground garage car entrance located outside the community, Xie Guoping did not take Chen Xin from the fire stairs directly down to the ground, Xie Guoping knew that the underground construction of the community was to meet the requirements of the civil air defense department, so how to compare it will be more complicated than the car entrance, especially in the absence of light, too complex terrain is not a good choice, Chen Xin naturally followed Xie Guoping from the good flow.
The entrance to the underground garage is large, you can pass three cars side by side, and some light can still be seen not far from the entrance, but a dozen meters away or deeper, it is already completely submerged in darkness.
"I don't like flashlights at all, really, every night training is indispensable," Xie Guoping said as he pulled the sleeve of the 54 pistol in his hand.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the pistol, he took out a strip of cloth from his body, and it seemed that he was about to tie the flashlight to the pistol, "This is for you, but don't shoot if you can!" As soon as you shoot, it means that you are exposed, and no one knows how many zombies there are below! ”
Xie Guoping carefully wound it twice, and also tried to see if the flashlight could be turned on, so he handed it to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin took the 54 pistol, fiddled with it, looked blankly at the flashlight tied by the strip of cloth and said, "Team Xie, this gun looks a little old, and your way of tying it is not aesthetic at all." I remember that in the blockbuster of country M, it is all held with the other hand backhand, is it really okay for you to tie it like this? ”
"You know!" Xie Guoping was still preparing for the examination, re-tying his shoelaces, and said without raising his head, "Come out with an empty hand, maybe I will save your life at some point." Don't underestimate such a tying method, this is how the tactical guns and lamps of country M came from in the past, and they were invented by the old cadres who resisted M and aided C, and they pitted a lot of country M guys. ”
"I just think it's too ugly......"
"Don't BB, you go ahead later, if something comes close to you within 5 meters, shoot it. I'll keep an eye on you later. Let's go! ”
Chen Xin looked up at the sky, the sun had already set half below the horizon, and knowing that it would soon be dark, he turned his body sideways and walked down according to the posture that Xie Guoping had just taught.
Xie Guoping was also surprised to see Chen Xin go on like this, after all, he and Chen Xin had known each other for a short time, and this kid actually dared to hand over his back to him, and he didn't know whether to say that he was "clear-minded" or "nervous", but since Chen Xin could be so frank, he Xie Guoping would definitely not live up to his trust.
Of course, Chen Xin is not the "nervous bar" that Xie Guoping imagined, he just knows that the legendary Xie Guoping's character has always been well-known, and he has not been cheated in the entire "Wasteland Survival Manual", and he also knows that Xie Guoping is really capable of protecting his back, so he is naturally willing to hand over his rear to this legendary veteran.
The brightness of the flashlight is not very high, but in the underground garage, it can still help Chen Xin and them observe most of the road conditions, there are not many abandoned cars in the garage, and the condition of a few cars looks good, but on the road surface of the underground garage, there are still some abandoned vehicles that have obviously been hit, blocking the road tightly.
Chen Xin felt that the sound he made when he walked was only one-tenth of that of the day, if it wasn't for the fact that the underground was too quiet, and there would be no sound at all when he stepped on the floor paint of the garage, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The muscle control method taught by this veteran is really easy to use, all the muscles in the body can move freely like hands and feet, but I am too tired, the muscles are sour, and I don't know if it is a big road commodity popularized by the whole army." ”
Xie Guoping naturally saw Chen Xin's walking posture, and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a praise for Chen Xin's understanding, he originally didn't expect Chen Xin to master the trick of this "control technique" in an hour, and he planned to improve how much, you must know that many people can't even remember which muscles they have in an hour, but Chen Xin began to control the muscle tremors directly after he explained it, and he was really surprised at that time.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Chen Xin's eyes, and disappeared from the range of the flashlight very quickly, Chen Xin immediately adjusted the muzzle of the gun in the direction where the figure disappeared, and before he could find it, he heard a "bang" as if something had fallen heavily on the ground.
Chen Xin followed the voice and looked over, only to see Xie Guoping squatting in front of a humanoid lying horizontally checking something.
"Don't point the muzzle at me, at the zombies." Xie Guoping waved his hand to beckon, and Chen Xin took the flashlight on the gun to shine on the zombie.
Chen Xin carefully observed the corpse of an evolved zombie on the ground, with a deep cross-cut wound on the neck that could be seen to the bone, and some bodily fluids were still bubbling up, which was obviously made by Xie Guoping in a very short period of time just now.
Although he knew that Xie Guoping was very strong, but he was so strong that he didn't even have time to react, and he had already solved an evolved zombie, Chen Xin couldn't help but admire in his heart.
"This evolutionary zombie is very strange, its speed and strength are much weaker than the evolutionary zombies it encountered before, and at most it is only one line stronger than ordinary zombies. However, it is obviously wise, and it should have been trying to detour to your side to attack you just now. Xie Guoping said softly, still continuing to check.
"The color of the skin is almost pure white, and when I was irradiated by the flashlight just now, I had a panicked look, and it looked like a nocturnal creature. The skin of the hands is visibly aged, and there are even calluses on the fingers. Xie Guoping shook his head, shook aside the ridiculous idea that the zombie had done some farm work, and began to examine the zombie's internal organs with a dagger.
"Strange, there are some bones in the stomach pouch, and there are marks of sharp and hard objects on the bones, which should have been removed before this zombie swallowed the flesh attached to it." Xie Guoping has some bad premonitions, this zombie is very much like a domesticated dog, can zombies also be tamed?
Seeing nothing more, Chen Xin continued to walk in front, and without taking a few steps, at the exit of an elevator, Xie Guoping stopped him.
"My team has been here!" Xie Guoping walked to the door and picked up a tactical flashlight from the side, which was exactly the same as the flashlight tied to Chen Xin's gun.
Xie Guoping didn't say much, turned on the flashlight, shone around for a long time where he found the flashlight, and then stopped at a place on the wall.
Chen Xin saw a few strange letters on the wall, and knew that it should be the code left by Xie Guoping, "Team Xie, what are you talking about?" ”
"Our tactical commands, decoy tactics." After speaking, Xie Guoping stood up and looked around and took a deep breath.
"What do you mean? They use this tactic to hunt zombies? Chen Xin stretched his neck and asked.
"I don't know! Go ahead. ”
Although Xie Guoping said that he didn't know, Chen Xin saw that Xie Guoping was clearly a little strange when he said the word "hunting", but since he didn't say it, it always made sense, so Chen Xin didn't ask and continued to grope forward.
The underground garage between several high-rise buildings should be connected, the area is very large, it should be the underground of the entire community is hollowed out, several areas are separated by heavy explosion-proof iron doors, none of the iron doors are closed, occasionally a few are half-open, and at least one person can walk through.
Seeing that he was about to walk through the third iron gate, that is, the underground of the third high-rise residence, Xie Guoping suddenly appeared beside Chen Xin, grabbed him by the shoulder, motioned for him to stop and turn off the flashlight.
Chen Xin turned off the flashlight and found that he was not completely invisible, through the iron door, the emergency light in a corner in the distance was still working, and it could still provide a vague vision. Looking in the direction Xie Guoping pointed, Chen Xin saw two more evolved zombies.
After observing for a while, they found that these two evolved zombies did not move around like any zombie they had seen before, they would only walk back and forth in a small range, and they must be back to back, without a dead end, just like sentinels.
Xie Guoping squinted, pulled Chen Xin to the back and slowly retreated, and after retreating to an intersection sandwiched by two pillars, he asked Chen Xin to turn on the flashlight again and guard the surroundings.
I don't know where to take out the wire rope that attacked Chen Xin before, and fiddle back and forth between the two pillars. Chen Xin looked over from the corner of his eyes and knew that this was another new knowledge, which seemed to be a trigger-type trap.
It's just that the control of muscles is because he has more than ten years of biological knowledge, so he learned quickly, and he didn't understand the prefabricated traps in front of him, and he could clearly see how the lines were wound and how they were tied, but he just couldn't figure out how they worked.
If you don't understand, put it aside, anyway, there will be time to ask for advice in the future, Chen Xin's mentality is still very good, and at the same time, he doesn't feel that he has to learn this craft, and he feels that the use of this prefabricated trap is not a lot.
The work of attracting monsters was still handed over to Chen Xin, after all, he was an awakened person who had evolved agile abilities, and when he laughed at Xu Licheng for always attracting monsters, he didn't expect that he would do this job one day.
Chen Xin threw a broken car rearview mirror out of the crack in the iron door, and the rearview mirror rolled on the ground a few times, making a screeching sound.
Chen Xin looked through the crack in the door and saw that the two evolved zombies in the distance suddenly turned around, bowed down in the direction of the rearview mirror, and their mouths were pursed, looking like they were about to rush over at any time.
But strangely, the two evolved zombies did not activate immediately, but exchanged glances, one of them took a few steps back, and the other rushed in the direction of the rearview mirror.
"It's better to lead only one, it's easier to kill!" Chen Xin saw the whole process at a glance, and he was not discouraged by only attracting one evolved zombie, but was a little happy.
"Bang Chang", "Bang Chang", "Bang Chang", before the zombies could rush out a few steps, four or five pieces of iron were thrown out of the stairs behind the two zombies.
Before Chen Xin could see what it was, a burst of white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and his field of vision had become a white expanse, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
If Xie Guoping was in Chen Xin's position, he could probably see at first glance that what was thrown from the stairwell was a high-explosive flashbang, and he could also react at the first time.
It's just that Chen Xin or the two evolved zombies didn't know what it was, but they all stared at these flashbangs intently, and the consequence was that the three people (zombies) were 100% flashed in their eyes.
Immediately, there was a dense burst of gunfire and zombie howls in Chen Xin's ears, and then he felt that he was pulled aside by Xie Guoping and hit the wall behind the iron gate.
