Chapter Forty-Six: The Aftermath

The road that Amiko scouts on is a bloody road in the literal sense of the word.

Hundreds of corpses, as if rice had been crushed by a harvester, lay in a dense crouch in the middle of the road.

The reckless dead were all dressed in government uniforms and were apparently gang members from other military camps.

"Why don't the gang fools find cover?"

Amiko looked at the rocks and trees on the side of the road, although there were not many shelters for concealment, but strangely, there were not a single corpse around the bunkers, and the bandits seemed to deliberately charge along the middle of the road.

"They're protecting something, or someone."

Zhou Zhimao walked to the end of the corpse queue, and unlike the corpses that were distributed in a row behind him, the corpses here were lying backwards, pillowing each other to form a blurred arc of flesh and blood.

Zhou Zhen raised his head, estimated the distance between the dark fort and the watchtower and the corpse pile, and beckoned Amiko to come over: "No matter what this group of bandits is protecting, the volume and form of this thing must not be able to hide behind the bunker, they can only use their bodies as cover to move forward, but when they get here, they stop." ”

"Dead?"

Amiko leaned closer to a corpse at the head of the row, the deceased had the rank of captain, his face and chest were blurred with flesh from machine-gun bullets.

"No, there are still footprints on the road ahead, I guess they annihilated the enemy here, and what they are protecting, it should be some kind of weapon."

Zhou Zhen touched the soil in the footprints and rubbed it, there was coagulated blood in the soil, it should have been stained by the bandits when they crossed the corpse pile, judging from the number of footprints, there should still be about 400 survivors.

The two of them walked further forward and entered the first bunker, which had the same internal structure as the previous one, but with more people involved in the defense, and a dozen soldiers from various companies lay unconscious on the ground.

"It seems that the weapons they protect are not used to kill people, but to extract the souls of the living, the same equipment used in energy experiments."

Zhou Zhen frowned, could it be that Jiro Oshima still has a deal with the gang? It's also incredible.

The situation in the sentry tower behind is the same as the dark bunker, the bandits used corpses to open the way, the enterprise soldiers became vegetative, and when they came to the open iron gate of A834, only the footprints of more than thirty people remained.

Mozart and Lieutenant Colonel Dong were already waiting at the door, and they were in the same situation as Zhou Zhen's way.

Lieutenant Colonel Dong's clothes were covered in blood, and he slit the throats of several vegetative soldiers, as a veteran bandit with a deep hatred for the corporate alliance, he naturally would not let go of any opportunity to retaliate.

After exchanging information, Mozart analyzed with a pale face: "I also observed the footprints, the dark fort and guard tower along my way were taken down from back to front, so the bandit should have attacked all the way from Miss Amiko's, and then broke through internally and eliminated other defensive forces." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded approvingly, and it seemed that Mozart had picked up a treasure.

As the largest military fortress in the eastern part of Area A, A834 covers an area as large as the bandit barracks in the basin, but the structure is the same three-dimensional structure as the city under the enterprise alliance, and the nanomaterial platform is divided into three layers, which is far stronger than that of large cities like A28, and each layer is built with permanent fortifications, heavy machine guns and various artillery pieces in between.

Under the white moonlight, the fortress was dead silent, and it took more than a hundred gang members nearly two hours to search for the entire A834.

Zhou Zhen stood against the wall in the fortress office, the cigarette in his mouth flickering, in front of him was the desk and safe that had long been emptied, and a senior official of the Shennong Group was slumped in a leather chair, with two bloody holes in his head and chest made by pistol bullets, and the blood on the ground had coagulated and clumped.

The bandits in charge of reconnoitring the various layers of the fortress are coming to report one after another.

"The food storage on the ground floor was emptied, there were no horses in the stables, the underground water supply was blown up, and the energy cards of the wireless power receivers were all removed.

"Fuck, the second-floor warehouse for medical supplies is empty, there isn't even a bar of soap left in the warehouse for daily necessities, and there are about fifty soldiers in the tents in the accommodation area, all of them are the living dead."

"The snipers on the third floor were all wiped out, four robes were killed by their guns, there were no weapons and ammunition in the arsenal, three officers were executed in the officers' quarters, and sixteen family members of the army, including women and children, were all ......"

The bandit looked unbearable, his fingers drew around his neck, and Zhou Zhi felt as if his heart was twisted into a twist, and the colic made him tremble.

This is not a simple plunder, but a brutal demonstration, the hanging of the enemy's family will make the enemy angry at the inability to protect the women and children, and leave the incapacitated soldiers behind, and will leave them with the choice of killing their comrades or feeding them.

Incompetent anger and the divisions of human nature are enough to turn a group of well-trained professional soldiers into a manic rabble.

Now these anger and disagreements are left to the brothers of the gang.

"Amiko, when I was in the energy lab, Jiro Oshima seems to have mentioned the life support system, and also mentioned that you helped him deal with the waste generated by the experiment, and those waste materials refer to the people who have been extracted antimatter, right, what is the life support system?"

Zhou Zhen looked at Amiko in the corner, she didn't have any complicated emotions, and was playing with a fluffy teddy bear with interest.

"No, waste refers to people whose antimatter in their souls has not been completely extracted, they still have part of their consciousness, so they need to be killed, and the life support system is also under the Mayez Building, which is actually an ultra-low temperature warehouse for the living dead, which not only consumes a lot of energy, but also stinks, and I don't know why Mr. Oshima keeps these things."

Amiko pursed her lips and replied nonchalantly, Zhou Zhi fell into deep thought, Oshima Jiro's choice was to leave these useless burdens, he didn't believe that it was out of humane considerations, Oshima must have some deeper purpose.

He summoned Mozart to help send the unconscious corporate soldiers back to the Basin Barracks, where they were delivered to A01 by the Armored Squirrels, which was the best solution he could think of.

By the time the moving forces arrive, there should be enough food to use, the water supply system will not be difficult to repair, and the biggest problem for A834 to become a new base is energy.

"Lao Dong, please go with me to track down the gang."

Zhou Zhen turned to Lieutenant Colonel Dong, who was rummaging through documents.

Lieutenant Colonel Dong threw down a pile of waste paper, nodded and said: "Well, I was about to mention this, looking at this kind of deadly fighting, it should be the people from the jungle barracks near A57, they were formerly the mountain special regiment of the Moscow Campaign, and after the end of the war, they were arranged by the old general to withdraw into Southeast Asia, and there was no news after the A28 battle." ”

Unexpected gains, looking for the attackers can find the jungle barracks, which can not only get back energy, but also strengthen the bandits, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhou Zhen strode out of the door: "Without further ado, let's ride a horse to chase." ”

...

It was not difficult to trace the way, as A834 was north of the deserted wilderness and swamps, abandoned campsites, footprints and ruts clearly indicating the direction of the attackers' evacuation, numbering around thirty in twelve large wagons that were supposed to be fully loaded.

According to Zhou's calculations, he should be able to catch up with the attacker within three days.

This calculation was very accurate, but the situation of the meeting was not at all the expected victory.

In the early morning of the third day, the swamp reflected the cold moonlight of early autumn, and Zhou Zhen was awakened from his sleep, and the cold hit a spirit, and it was not Lieutenant Colonel Dong who was on guard that woke him up, but the cold sewage and mud beside him.

He slept in the middle of the swamp, his body was still sinking, and Zhou Zhi subconsciously activated the phantom system, got out of the swamp, and hid in a dark bush.

The situation is not right, he fell asleep in the tent yesterday, but he woke up and did not know where he was, Lieutenant Colonel Dong and himself are veterans, he should not have a bad sentry pool, and he has always been awake when he sleeps, it is almost unimaginable to be attacked and thrown into the swamp without being conscious.

I touched my waist, and the M500 revolver was still on my waist, and the hunting knife, satchel and water bottle were not missing.

He calmly observed his surroundings and felt a strange clarity.

The sound waves emitted by the humming of wild boars as they forage, the noisy cries of toads at the water's edge, and the rustling of snakes writhing through the grass are all visible as water waves.

Particle vision?

Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a little afraid, pinched his thigh hard, the pain was still normal, and the current situation was indeed not out of body.

After calming down, his particle vision is not the same as in the Maya box, the particles in the space are not visible, and the light is not in the form of particles, but the perception of sound has changed, and under normal hearing, vision can observe sound waves.

It only took a few seconds for Zhou Zhen to start to get bored with this miraculous physiological response.

Sonic perception could not be turned off, and it became more and more sensitive, from a fly passing by him, to a human voice in the distance that was attenuated to almost smooth, and all kinds of ripples filled his eyes, giving him a drowning suffocating feeling.

He gasped for breath and sneaked in the direction where the human voice came from, walking about a few hundred meters, and he couldn't make out the human voice in his ears, but the sound wave was already recognizable, it was a quarrel between two people.

"I'm going back to him, I can't kill Paoze, this is the iron law of the government's revival of the rebel coalition army!"

"Inhuman has already smoked the soul of that lieutenant colonel, do you think he will give up? He's a stranger, too! ”
