Chapter 44: A Village on an Oasis
"If the instrument fails, it means that there is no human life signal around the vehicle. There are only two possibilities, one is that the people of the third or fifth team abandon the car and run away, and the other is that I don't need to say anything more. β
"Hmm."
Zhou Yang nodded, knowing that there was a high possibility that the other party's entire army would be annihilated.
This is a desert, and every car has some daily supplies on it, and if you abandon the car and run away, then almost no one will be able to walk back to Yang City alive except for some unique abilities.
Most people don't choose that.
"So, going north, is there anyone else who has an opinion?"
The seventh team has never had a word hall, but Li Xiang's questioning at this time is undoubtedly a little redundant.
There may be danger on the south side, and a diversion to the north at this point is undoubtedly the best option at this time.
"Nope."
Everyone didn't speak, but Zhou Yang shook his head.
Li Xiang immediately started the car, which turned around in the sand and began to run north.
On top of the pickup's navigation, the destination was changed from the depths of the desert to a small village on the oasis in the northern region.
It wasn't too far from where they were now, and after flicking off the pursuit of several plague variants along the way, everyone came to the entrance of the oasis.
Before entering the village, Li Xiang reminded softly: "Prepare, don't get out of the car first, if the situation is not right, let's run directly." β
"Hmm."
Several people nodded, and the pickup then began to enter the oasis.
This oasis is not large, and you can see the panoramic view of the oasis when you climb over the sand dunes, but it is an extremely quiet village in front of everyone.
There are only four or five houses here, but all of them are closed, and this strange sense of silence makes people wonder if something is wrong.
The car stopped next to the village, and no one got out of the car.
And after Li Xiang observed it, he didn't find anything: "Get out of the car, close formation, Zhou Yang, you are ready to shoot at any time in the back." β
"Okay."
Zhou Yang nodded.
You can't enter the village, you don't even dare to enter, that's not the style of the hunting team.
In terms of reconnaissance and evasion, hunting squads are inferior to scouting squads, and in terms of position and defense, hunting squads are not as good as city defense squads.
However, only the momentum of daring to fight and fight is something that no corps or individual dares to underestimate.
Got out of the car.
Li Xiang took the lead, the tiger followed, and the group walked forward in a dense formation, while Zhou Yang was on guard on the flank, ready to strike at any time.
"Wang!"
The small door in the courtyard of a house suddenly opened, and a pitch-black Tibetan mastiff suddenly rushed out, and at the moment when Zhou Yang was about to make a move, the Tibetan mastiff suddenly retreated.
"I can't imagine that you can scare off animals with your momentum."
Seeing this surprising scene, everyone couldn't help but wonder.
The tiger even stopped his chest, ready to learn from Zhou Yang to scare the Tibetan mastiff, but before he could get closer, the Tibetan mastiff showed a fierce appearance.
"There's no blood here."
Zhou Yang, who felt that something was wrong as soon as he got out of the car, finally thought of this.
The air was still fresh, without the disgusting smell of the Plague variant, and the gore of blood spilled.
"Is anyone there?"
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Li Xiang gave the tiger a look, and the tiger then opened his voice and shouted at the village.
This sound was like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, which shook Su Tong's ears next to him, and he had to cover his ears to avoid it for a while.
"Nobody ......"
With a shout, the tiger looked back at the people who were covering their ears, and said with a blank expression.
"Not necessarily."
Zhou Yang shook his head, he glanced at the edge of the small lake just now, and found that there was a bucket at this time, which was placed by the lake.
"Each place has its own security measures, right?"
After reading so much information, Zhou Yang also knew that after the disaster, the shelter plan began to prevail.
From small villages to large cities, they all have their own emergency evacuation measures, and if the people of the small village feel the danger, then this emergency evacuation measure is undoubtedly the most likely place.
This is deep in the desert.
The people in the small village didn't seem to have purchased cars, so in this case, Zhou Yang judged that they would not go far, and it was undoubtedly the safest thing to dodge nearby.
"Yes."
Li Xiang nodded, and then continued to speak: "Generally, dig tunnels, build a shelter in all directions underground, and store more than a month's worth of supplies inside. β
"So, are you looking for it?"
Zhou Yang asked Li Xiang. Searching for it will undoubtedly disturb the people of the small village, but if they do not look for it, they will not be able to know whether the small village knows important information.
"Find."
Li Xiang did not hesitate, he came to the village, and rest was not the main purpose.
"Okay."
Zhou Yang nodded, closed his eyes, and an invisible ripple began to emanate, and the breath of life belonging to human beings gradually rose.
"There."
Zhou Yang looked at the largest house in the center of the village, where there was a very large breath of life, and it was quite mixed.
"Let's take a look."
Following Zhou Yang's gaze, Li Xiang also saw the unique house.
He gave the order, and the crowd followed in his footsteps and walked slowly towards the strange looking house.
The shape of the house is okay, but the main problem is that the house is very large and built very high.
Dangdangββ
Coming to the door, Li Xiang knocked on the door gently, and an empty echo came, and the footsteps of several people were also heard inside.
"Who is it?"
An old voice asked through the thick door.
"We're from the Hunting Corps, so we're here to inquire about the news." Li Xiang told the truth and replied naturally.
"Hunting Corps? Isn't this a place where scouts usually come over? β
The old voice asked again.
"Something happened, and the Scout Corps buddies are missing, so we're here to ask you something."
Li Xiang continued.
"Oh? Is that so? Wait a minute, the old man will open the door for you. β
The old voice said, and then Zhou Yang heard a creaking sound, and the extremely heavy wooden door in front of them also began to rise with the sound.
"Gear-powered ......"
Listening to this voice, Zhou Yang didn't expect it at all.
He thought that this wooden door would be pushed open like a normal door, but he didn't expect that the way this door opened was so special, and the thickness was beyond his imagination.
"Hello."
An old man dressed plainly said hello to Zhou Yang and the others, and then smiled.
"Hello."
Zhou Yang and Li Xiang said almost at the same time, and they actually saw that in the depths of this room, there were already quite a few people holding weapons.
"Come in and sit."
The old man stretched out his hand to invite, and Zhou Yang then nodded.
He didn't perceive malice in the old man, nor did he feel that the people of this small village would pose a threat to him.
