『Episode 29』

―Hope Snow Mountain―

.

Hope Snow Mountain, located in the northwestern mountain area of the Mono Plain, is also a special area close to the cold temperature. It is also bordered by the sea to the west, separated by a narrow strait from the Dia Peninsula, the Isle of Nassi and the Black Sea Fort. Of course, this place is also close to the dangerous distance of high-level zombie infected.

In the early days of the Infection War, it was used as an important defensive area for the human army. And the village of Anka, which lives in the woodland at the foot of the mountain, is used as a transfer point for materials.

In the second year of the Infection War, the World Tree finally used a top-secret weapon, a nuclear bomb, to drop a detonation on the Mono Plain, one of the zombie clusters.

Although the energy of the nuclear weapons destroyed most of the zombies and species on the Mono Plains, there were still some zombies that survived and gained new energy. Some of them traveled west and north, so that the defense line of Anka Village in the Hope Snow Mountain was completely defeated. Soon after, the fall of Hope Snow Mountain was announced......

However, the World Tree Organization has not given up on the region because of this.

In the years that followed, several groups of human defense forces were sent to fight back. Because of its leader, Atlas. Le Lang has a long-cherished wish to dismantle the signal tower on the top of the mountain, so as to disperse the zombies entrenched in the mountain and redevelop the snowy mountain of hope.

But the danger of today's Hope Snow Mountain can be imagined due to the entrenchment of high-level zombie infected. In addition, it is plagued by heavy snowstorms all year round, and neither drones nor combat patrol aircraft can fly close to the edge of the Hope Snow Mountain Zone, which greatly makes it difficult to find the signal tower.

……

Not long ago, two huge independent human camps, "War to Stop" and "Tomorrow's Sky Group", which are located near the Hope Snow Mountain and backed by the Giselia Plateau, each had to send people to the Hope Snow Mountain in order to stabilize the safety of the camp. Try to find the tower and dismantle it to avoid being attacked by high-level zombie infected people who slipped down its mountain.

But the price behind this kind of task, in fact, no matter who it is, is clear in the bottom of his heart and does not say it.

Because of this, without each other's knowledge, the camps of the two sides only sent a death squad composed of a dozen people to the dangerous Snow Mountain of Hope.

One day, a heavily armed gang came to the village of Anka, near the woodland at the foot of the mountain.

Not far to the left of the village of Anka is the long (ice) river that is icy and icy. Because it was summer, the glacier did not freeze. When their group of people is insufficient, they can also come to the river to catch fish and eat.

There were actually only four of them. They all wore heavy anti-infection, warm cotton clothing, knitted hats, tactical helmets, goggles, various tactical emergency equipment hanging from their waists, bullet magazines, and Tavor assault rifles.

They are all people from the Tomorrow Heaven Camp camp.

Click-and-click......

"Whew...... Hu ...... "The four of them walked cautiously through the frozen ground covered with snow, and came to this small village with white eaves dyed by falling snow: Anka Village.

"No one is infected, is it?"

"No, no!"

"Nope."

"No, Titicaca."

"Okay - Afterimage, you continue to contact the camp. Yuqing, Xiaoxuan, come here with me! ”

"Yes." The three of them agreed in unison, and then immediately dispersed in formation.

Walking in front of the three people was the middle-aged man wearing a tactical helmet who had just asked questions and orders, and he was the captain of the four-person death squad. His name is Ren Xiang, and he is a person who is extremely demanding of himself.

Similarly, he is also one of the leaders of the high-level battle as the camp of the Tomorrow Heaven Regiment.

"Come over here." Ren Xiang whispered backwards.

Facing the interior of this small village, which has long been empty, the quieter the environment, the more dangerous it is. As far as the eye can see, there is a thick layer of frozen snow and brown and copper-colored wooden huts that sleep comfortably.

On the side, there are rows of blackened wooden fences and rudimentary sandbag walls for cover. On the ground, there were many bullet casings and all kinds of garbage frozen in bits and pieces. These eye-catching war relics made the scene of the outbreak of the war here reappear in Ren Xiang's mind.

"It's horrible." The man with a serious face, Yuqing. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

Wu Xiaoxuan followed the gaze of the two of them and looked forward, but he didn't seem to see anything from his brown eyes. Instead, he turned his head directly and looked towards the winding path leading to the Hope Snow Mountain.

The snow was like fluffy sugar, and the sound of stepping on it creaked, crisp, and beautiful under the feet of the afterimage holding the telegraph back and forth at the key positions.

"The camp radar room received an answer, we are a death squad. Just now, I was attacked by a level 6 zombie infected, and two team members were unfortunately infected and died. Request a call back to update the task objective, request a call back to update the task objective! ”

"Hey!"

"Huh?" The afterimage blinked for a moment, then looked up.

"Comrade Remnant, don't be so loud, okay, it's scary?" Yuqing turned around and took off his goggles, and he said dissatisfiedly at the afterimage with a cold breath in his mouth.

Yu Qing and Wu Xiaoxuan turned around at the same time, and there was a faint dissatisfaction on their foreheads. Seeing this, the afterimage had to smile apologetically.

And the captain Ren Xiang was not in a hurry to turn back and condemn the fault of the afterimage. He propped his elbows against the solid brown bronze log wall, and leaned forward, his eyes open like a torch.

"I, I'm so sorry. It's all to blame for this damn shit, no matter how much you tune it, you can't find a signal......" The afterimage replied with a smile, shirking all the blame on the machine he was holding in the palm of his hand.

"Altitude, right?" Wu Xiaoxuan said casually, and then turned around and stood up.

Yuqing glared at the afterimage with some annoyance. He didn't say anything more, and then turned back to stand.

"Ah, yes, probably ......" echoed the afterimage. When the two of them turned their heads back, the apologetic smile on his face disappeared.

Immediately after that, the three of them immediately went into action, and kicked in the main entrance after bypassing the two walls in a brutal manner. Yu Qing, who was dragging a Tavol assault rifle, was the first to rush in, followed by Wu Xiaoxuan, then Ren Xiang, and finally the afterimage that almost fell behind.

The room was a mess, the signs of the fight were obvious, and it felt colder here than outside.

In addition to an empty frame nailed to the brown wooden wall, there is also a half-crooked picture frame. When they relaxed their vigilance a little, Ren Xiang walked over first and took a curious look.

The photograph shows a young couple holding their daughter.

Ren Xiang hugged Tavol in his arms, then took out his other palm to carefully wipe off the dust of time on the glass mirror, and then looked again.

"Ahh Look at this? It's, it's—"

Suddenly, the afterimage's surprised voice exploded, forcing the three of them to shake their bodies and look back nervously.
