Volume 2 Struggle Chapter 1 The Forest

Curry kept driving into the distance, with no intention of stopping.

As it was getting dark, Mo Xuan finally asked where he was going.

Curry lit a cigarette, shivering slightly in the twilight.

"I'm going to go to a nature reserve, where there are few people." Curry looked at the gun at his waist, and there were only seven rounds left.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That thing, even whales can infect, it should be able to infect mammals. Mo Xuan was silent for a moment.

"That's a gamble, it's better than being heaped to death in the city. There are not many wild beasts in our country, at least there are still opportunities. ”

"I feel like they're like an army." Mo Xuan asked Curry for a cigarette, took a deep breath, coughed, and leaned against the window in the back seat, looking very tired.

"Could it be that they discovered the walls because they were too eye-catching?" Mo Xuan looked out the dark window and asked.

"I don't know, you don't have to blame yourself. If not, then the wall you presided over ensures the survival of more people. Curry relieved.

"Actually, someone reminded me before." Mo Xuan felt that he was indeed very tired, and fell asleep after speaking.

Curry sighed when he found out in the rearview mirror that Mo Xuan had fallen asleep.

……

"Now that we know that the core of the corpse tide is a special mutant, then let's directly bombard their core with missiles, especially those corpse tides in the suburbs, let's directly deal with them." Cao Huan is making operational arrangements for the clean-up plan.

"Yes, yes, but there is no rush of corpses in the suburbs." Mo Jun said.

At this time, a civilian officer with a large stack of materials walked in and said: "I'm sorry, but I may not agree with General Mo's opinion, there are quite a few wild animals in the rainforest area of the central and northern part of our country, and according to the latest information, this creature can infect most mammals, even whales." Therefore, the wild is actually very dangerous, according to the observation that the physical fitness of organisms will be greatly improved after being infected with the virus, if you meet orangutans in the wild, there is basically no way to live, and their speed and strength have been increased to a very exaggerated level. However, it is not clear whether they will produce intelligence, and the research department still believes that the intelligence level of mutants should be related to the limit of their biological species, but it is also unclear. ”

"If that's the case, it won't be a wave of corpses." Mo Jun looked at him.

"If there are shepherds entering the northern rainforest and the southern cold forest, and luring them out, there is still a great possibility." Another general said.

"I guess the wildlife in the whole jungle can't be saved." Everyone frowned.

"Rest assured, generals," said the officer, "that the virus is extremely infective against wild animals, and only reacts to mammals, and that the rest of the virus can only mutate in close contact with meteorite material." ”

"How close?"

"Devour."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I heard from the front line that they had seen flying whales. ”

"That's right, the virus changes the biological traits of the infected person to a certain extent."

"You call this 'to a certain extent'?"

……

Located in the southwest of Atlantis, the southernmost part of the nature reserve is almost bordered by the long southern cold forest belt, but due to policy reasons, this nature reserve has not introduced too many creatures, and there is a lack of fierce beasts, which is basically the existence of the city's back garden, of course, there are several cases of grizzly bears that are unwilling to hibernate from the southern cold forest belt to this side every winter, so no one dares to pack a ticket and will not encounter bears here.

At about midnight, the two finally entered the boundaries of the national park. Curry drove his car into the forest as hard as he could, and finally got stuck in the tall roots of a red cedar that had grown for more than 100 years about two kilometers into the park.

Mo Xuan rolled down from the back seat and woke up, raising his head a little dazed, he would definitely wake up immediately and start to be vigilant before he changed, but the fierce battle a few hours ago made him very tired.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xuan grabbed the knife in his hand and looked out the window.

Curry turned off the car and signaled that he was okay.

"We've arrived in the forest, the car can't be driven by the owner, and we're here for the night today. Tomorrow find a water source or something, you go to sleep first, and I'll keep vigil. ”

"Is there a car behind you?" Mo Xuan looked at it habitually, he covered his forehead, his muscles were still trembling slightly, and his mood was the same.

Curry shook his head at him and said, "We got separated, and I didn't see where your friends went." ”

Bang!

A loud pounding of the door was too loud in the night.

The inside of the door of the police car was slightly dented by Mo Xuan.

He scratched his hair like an enraged lion.

He slammed the door again, and the pain calmed him down a little.

Curry sighed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's take a break, the girl who was with you before proposed to install radio transmitters in all the cars in town, but I know how they are doing, we can try it tomorrow, she put the contact frequency in every car." ”

"Really?!" Mo Xuan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and a smile appeared on his face for the rest of his life, "Who proposed it?" ”

"It's a very beautiful girl, blonde haired, called ......"

"Ayr! She's such a natural leader! Mo Xuan laughed happily: "Let's contact us now!" Are you tired? If you're feeling tired, come back to sleep first, and I'll try to contact them. ”

"I'm okay, how's your doing?"

"It's almost now, it's okay if I've slept for a long time, you can rest for a while."

"Okay, then I'll sleep first, the note should be in the driver's seat, I'll find it for you."

Mo Xuan nodded in agreement, quickly climbed to the front row, adjusted the radio to the agreed frequency, and began to communicate. When Curry was about to close his eyes, Mo Xuan suddenly turned around and asked what the communication radius of the car walkie-talkie was.

"The normal power is about 30 kilometers without shelter, but in the woods, it is estimated that it can be 10 kilometers at full speed?"

"Huh? Isn't the dielectric constant of a tree less than 3? ”

"Huh? Haha, I don't know. When I was a child, I didn't know how to read. Curry scratched his head a little awkwardly.

"But in the 21st century, won't the car radio be able to reach a propagation radius of more than 20 kilometers, which is almost the 31st century, how can it only be more than 30 kilometers?"

"There are many signal base stations, and it is not very useful to improve the performance in this area, probably now it is to reduce energy consumption, and I don't know much." Curry pillowed his clothes and slowly fell asleep.

"Survivors, I'm Mo Xuan, I'm in Huanzhu Lake National Park right now, if you receive a message, please reply. Repeat ......"

In the night, only Mo Xuan was paged every ten minutes, and as time passed, his mood cooled down like the night.

Early the next morning.

"Mr. Curry, we need to find a way to get rid of this in-vehicle communication station." Mo Xuan frowned and stared at the radio transmitter, his voice much hoarse.

"It's too difficult, this thing needs to be connected to a generator, and the car's generator is connected to an internal combustion engine, which adds up to too much to move, and I can't dismantle the car." Curry dissuaded.

"Then we'll stay here."

"It's only about two kilometers from the entrance to the park, so it's not very safe, and there are some lumber farms and small towns around the woodland, so it's not close to here, but I think it's better to go deeper."

"Why?"

"The 10 kilometres of the park are mostly crowded with tourists, wildlife is scarce, and there seems to be no water nearby."

"I'd like to go back and see." Mo Xuan squatted on the root system and said in silence for a long time.

Curry immediately refused: "Absolutely not!" We don't have a vehicle to go back now, so we're going to die. ”

Mo Xuan lowered his head and began to get angry again.

Curry looked at him, and he could only help him.

Huh? To have one’s hands tied?

It seems to be really helpful.

He smiled and stepped forward and patted Mo Xuan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we can go directly to Huanzhu Lake, there should be a generator there, we just need to carry this radio station on our backs." And all living things will approach the water source, and it should be possible to meet other survivors by then. ”

Mo Xuan raised his head and felt that his mood in the past two days was like a roller coaster.

"I'm sorry, I'm too impatient." Mo Xuan apologized to Curry.

"It's okay, you're also concerned about it." Curry expressed understanding.

"Uncle Curry, don't you have anyone to worry about?" Mo Xuan asked.

"My wife and daughter came to see me in a car when I was in the service, and they got into an accident on the road. The family has also passed away. Now that I think about it, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. Curry smiled as if he had relieved everything.

"Ah......h Sorry for the abruptness. Mo Xuan felt as if he had become a lot more stupid, so he could only apologize again.

"It's okay, it's many years ago, so let's take the things and let's go."

"There's nothing else in the car, is there?"

"There's a tarp in the trunk that you can cover the radio later."

The two of them tinkered for a long time, and finally dismantled the things at about nine o'clock in the morning, when it started raining, and the two decided to wait in the car for the rain to stop before leaving.

There was half a tank of water, a tarp and a small fuel tank in the trunk of the police car, but there was no gas in it, and Mo Xuan couldn't get the oil out of the car's fuel tank after tinkering in the rain for a long time, so he had to give up. Curry checked that his individual police equipment was quite complete, and all the states were complete, which was a big surprise for the two who had just been beaten back to their original shape.

There is a Chinese proverb called: When you wear shoes on a rainy day, you are idle. The two of them had no shoes to play at the moment, so they counted the existing equipment in the car.

The NE87 that was originally in Mo Xuan's hand had been destroyed when he resisted the corpse tide, and now in addition to a set of clothes, he only had the knife that Hamura lent him.

Sheriff Curry, on the other hand, seems to be much richer, he also has a police pistol, a magazine for ammunition, a police dagger, a flashlight, which can also be used as an electric stunner, a small power solar charger, a pair of handcuffs, a can of tear gas, a small first aid kit and a multi-functional belt.

They decided to bring the empty little tank in addition to the radio station, and half a tank of water, which would be very important if the water source from Huanzhu Lake was drinkable.

"How far is it from here to Huanzhu Lake?" Because Mo Xuan was sleeping when he drove into the forest, he didn't know where he was now.

"It's less than 30 kilometers to the northwest, and the location here is a bit off, a little far from the mainstream viewing area."

The park is named after Huanzhu Lake, which naturally means that the main scenic spot is at this Huanzhu Lake, but at this moment, the direction of Mo Ling and the two is relatively south, so they have to walk for a long time on the periphery of the forest.

The geographical situation of Atlantis is special, only a small area in the middle is a hilly area, and the cold forest zone in the south is in a place that is barely considered a plateau, which is actually only higher than the rest of the territory of Atlantis, and does not really meet the standard of a plateau, but there is still the highest mountain in the country - Pangu Peak, nearly four thousand meters, several rivers originate from the mountain, and the water source of Huanzhu Lake comes from here.

A river that runs from south to north called the Migratory Bird River.

The name also has a lot of origin, because most of Atlantis's territory is in the southern hemisphere, so every autumn and winter, migratory birds will migrate from south to north, they will stop along the river to feed, if you come to the park in autumn, you can see the autumn maple all over the ground, geese and cranes, which is praised by tourists as a superb view.

I just don't know if anyone will have the leisure to come here to see the scenery now.

"Otherwise, if we walk along the river and encounter a gentle current, we will build a boat and go down the river, and the speed will be much faster." Mo Xuan proposed.

"There are three cliffs in the territory of this river in Huanzhu Park, all of which are not high, but there are also unlucky tourists who die there, they are all professional kayaks, and we still have the danger of building our own boats. And even if it's okay, it's easy for other survivors to find out, and I don't think it's okay to do that without knowing the level of kindness of others. Curry said a lot in one breath, and it was clear that he was very disapproving of the matter.

"Also, after all, not everyone is well-intentioned, and there is no way to say anything in this world." Mo Xuan agreed.

"But we can walk along the lake within sight, so it's not easy to get off the road, and if we meet other survivors, we can also observe."

"It's a real special forces." Mo Xuan exclaimed.

Curry smiled and said humbly, not as good as he was then.

At noon, carrying ten pounds and kilograms, the two walked in the forest for several days and nights.
