Although he didn't know where the unknown trouble was, it didn't prevent Chen Xin and the others from hiding the submarine, and in order not to attract the attention of other survivors who might find it, Xie Guoping also carefully camouflaged Lu Weidang.

Without the attack of zombies and mutant creatures, the three of them quickly returned to the place where they went ashore, looking at the port gantry that was faintly visible not far away, the expression on Xu Licheng's face became more and more complicated.

"Don't think about it, maybe your little girlfriend is comfortably lying on the bed watching variety shows", Xie Guoping's observation is amazing, Xu Licheng has such an obvious emotional change, it is easy to be noticed, seeing that Xu Licheng almost fell off the embankment, Xie Guoping grabbed him, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Xu Licheng knew that Xie Guoping was comforting himself, nodded to indicate that he was fine, and still moved forward, but he also knew in his heart that if he continued in this state, if there was any emergency, he would definitely not have time to react.

Xie Guoping looked at Xu Licheng and took a deep breath, and sighed secretly in his heart, Xu Licheng is also a talent, but he doesn't know how he must have "hanged" on that Wang Jiayi, and then looked at Chen Xin on the other side, remembering that when he attacked the corpse nest, he was facing some ambiguous misunderstandings of Su Wan unintentionally or unintentionally, and he never took it to heart.

But in fact, Chen Xin is really not as Xie Guoping imagined, if it weren't for the fact that he crossed over from the earth and always had a game mentality towards the wasteland world, it is difficult to say whether Chen Xin would be tempted by Su Wan, at least thinking about it would definitely be unavoidable. But since Chen Xin knew about the big events that would happen in the Far East in the future, his mind naturally focused on improving his strength, after all, if he didn't even reach the 6th level, he would definitely only be a "passer-by" in the later stage.

So far, Chen Xin, who still regards himself as the protagonist, has been racking his brains to think of ways to quickly improve his strength. However, in just half a month, he had already awakened to the 5th level, and judging from the progress, Chen Xin was already very satisfied. But if you want to quickly improve again and get more "golden fingers" in the Far East, I am afraid that you will have to take some risks.

Therefore, Chen Xin, who is bent on stability, is not in a hurry, he plans to follow Xie Guoping into the 01 base first, surviving in the wasteland world is not just as long as he has strength, an orderly and stable logistics base may even be more important than a strong ability lineage, after all, it is a high-level soldier above the 10th order, he also needs to eat and sleep, and he also needs to supply guns and ammunition, so he can't wake up every day and think about where to hunt, or carefully calculate the ammunition balance before every battle.

Chen Xin was still thinking all the way, and was suddenly dragged by Xie Guoping, Chen Xin, who was slightly distracted, rolled directly and hid in the middle of the cement pier by the river, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a situation?" ”

Xie Guoping didn't stop it, but just carefully half-squatted down, observed for a long time before standing up, waved to the two and said, "It should be fine, let's go up and have a look." ”

Hearing what Xie Guoping said, Chen Xin and Xu Licheng climbed the river embankment with each other, and it wasn't until Chen Xin stood beside Xie Guoping that he understood what Xie Guoping saw, and his face was so solemn.

There were more than a dozen people hanging under the gantry outside the iron walls of the port settlement, all of whom were tied hand and foot, hooked from their waists by a steel cable, hanging in the air, and it seemed that these people were still alive and squirming with difficulty, but there was no place to borrow any strength, like earthworms struggling under fishing rods.

What's even more surprising is that under the gantry, it is actually crowded with dense mutant creatures and zombies, all of whom are looking up at these people hanging in the air at this moment. Occasionally, a few agile mutants would crawl onto the gantry crane and try to catch them along the tightropes, but they would always stumble and fall, smashing into the middle of the corpses below.

"What are they?" , Although Chen Xin understood a little in his heart, he still asked in disbelief.

"They're being used as bait to attract a lot of low-level zombies and mutants."

Xie Guoping squinted his eyes and said what Chen Xin was thinking.

"It's ...... Why? Xu Licheng's eyesight was not as good as Xie Guoping and Chen Xin, but he could still vaguely see some outlines, and combined with the conversation between the two of them just now, he almost guessed what was going on over there on the gantry.

"Use these dozen people as bait to drag tens of thousands of zombies and mutant creatures, of course the management committee will calculate this account", Xie Guoping's eyes narrowed more and more, and his tone became cold.

"Why don't they use corpses?!" , Xu Licheng stared hard for a long time, looking like he wanted to distinguish whether there would be Wang Jiayi among the people who were hung in the air, and even the voice of the question trembled a little.

"How can the effect of a dead person be as good as the effect of a living person", after speaking, Xie Guoping had already gotten down, continued to move forward along the river embankment, and pulled Xu Licheng, "Don't look at it, they are all men, definitely not your little girlfriend." ”

When Xu Licheng heard what Xie Guoping said, he instantly felt a little hot, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a stone in his heart.

"Heartbreaking!" , Chen Xin originally had a trace of guilt in his heart, although the "Wasteland Survival Manual" was not destined to have this zombie riot himself, but before, Chen Xin always felt that their research on Jiangxin Island "God's Vision" was also part of the reason for the riot, until he saw this scene in front of him, Chen Xin put aside all the guilt in his heart, and deeply felt that the group of people in the port deserved to die.

Neither he nor Xie Guoping said anything to Xu Licheng, but he believed that Xie Guoping had also seen some details like him, there were countless small wounds on the body of the person who was hanging, and the wounds should have been coated with anticoagulant drugs, and from time to time some blood would drip down, causing a commotion among the corpses below.

Xie Guoping heard Chen Xin's evaluation, and looked at the two people who also followed him with a cat's waist, but he had some different thoughts in his heart, "It's not too much to kill, the port management committee does this, and there are other reasons, this kind of torture is definitely a kind of psychological torture, not only for the prisoners themselves, but also for the other people who survived in the gathering place, it seems that a lot of things have happened in the management committee." But, it's still too much! ”

Chen Xin also happened to look up at Xie Guoping, but when he looked at each other, he understood what the other party was thinking. is also a human being, but he can only watch himself gradually die, and can only watch the people around him being eaten by zombies, which makes Chen Xin feel a little sad, and the same anger as Xie Guoping, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, "There is always a need to make some people pay the price, definitely!" ”

Maybe it was because of the "big trouble" in Xie Guoping's mouth, or maybe it was because of the "bait" under the gantry, until the three of them walked along the river embankment to the edge of the port settlement, and still did not encounter zombies and mutants.

But it is not easy to enter the port settlement smoothly, the wall more than 3 meters high leads to the river, the front and back are reinforced with steel plates dismantled from the containers, and the top is also wrapped with dense barbed wire, and small voltage regulators are set up at intervals, apparently the barbed wire is electrified.

Originally, Chen Xin thought that the settlement was looted by corpses and mutant creatures, and there must be chaos everywhere, as long as it was not discovered by the virus creatures, it should not be difficult to blend into the settlement, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of virus creatures would gather at the entrance of the settlement, which directly dispelled Chen Xin's idea of entering through the main gate.

At this moment, Chen Xin, who was standing under the high wall at the end of the embankment, was wondering how Xie Guoping took them to climb over the iron wall, Xie Guoping actually groped and took out a foam board from the side of the embankment!

"Usually there are people guarding the riverside of the settlement, but now there is definitely no one, and we will use this floating board as a springboard to go around the river. Remember! Don't touch the river, there is electricity on the side of the wall, and as long as you get close to it in the water, you will be coronaized! Xie Guoping explained the precautions while comparing how to use the floating board.

Chen Xin is not surprised how Xie Guoping knew about this kind of secret defense means, nor is it strange why this floating board is placed in the crack of the stone outside the wall, when he was on Jiangxin Island, Chen Xin had a guess, Xie Guoping or the military department, there is definitely an intelligence organization in the port settlement, and the status is definitely not low, and they can even get the details of the internal power struggle of the management committee.

The other side of the wall was indeed as Xie Guoping expected, there were only a few simple fortifications piled up with sandbags, but the position that should have been manned was already empty, and there was not even a trace of fighting.

"Let's go, let's go and see where the people in the settlement have gone", although Xie Guoping usually uses daggers, his dagger has long been left at the submarine dock, and in fact, his marksmanship is very outstanding, so he still asked Chen Xin for the bronze sand eagle in his backpack.

"Lao Xie, do you have a fever?" , The moment he handed over the pistol, Chen Xin's hand obviously felt that Xie Guoping's temperature was a little high, and in order to show respect, he had not used his ability pedigree to perceive Xie Guoping, but he didn't see that Xie Guoping was so weak that he had a high fever.

"It's okay, let's go and explore the situation first, this balance situation will definitely not last, if you don't seize this opportunity now, it may be difficult to find that group of people again", after speaking, Xie Guoping finally showed a tired look on his face.

Although Xie Guoping didn't say it explicitly, Chen Xin still understood who the group of people Xie Guoping was looking for, and Chen Xin also wanted to find out who was responsible for concocting the gantry, just thinking about whether he could take it by the way. However, looking at Xie Guoping's appearance, it seems that he doesn't want to find out that person, and he doesn't want to just forget it.

“...... Up to 20 hours! After being silent for a while, Chen Xin made a 2 gesture and said, he has an extremely deep understanding of the structure of the human body, just a few glances, he can roughly calculate the person hanging under the gantry, and he can hold on for at least 20 hours.

As long as those people have no breath of life and have lost their bait, most of them will rush to the settlement, and the moment the corpses hit the gathering place is the most dangerous moment, so Chen Xin set a limit of 20 hours.

"20 hours is enough", Xie Guoping smiled, knowing that Chen Xin agreed to his plan, "I will go to the deputy director of the canned food management office first, he is my person, and he will tell us everything we want to know." ”

"You ......", Xu Licheng has been a little absent-minded since he came ashore, but the other two knew why Xu Licheng was like this, so they didn't say much.

It's just that even if Xu Licheng's reaction became sluggish, he knew that Chen Xin and Xie Guoping had just decided to do something, "Are you going to ......?" ”

"Make a rule!" , Xie Guoping turned his head suddenly, shook off the tired expression just now, looked at the container in the distance and said stiffly, as if with a strong smell of gunpowder.
