Chapter 21: Fight for supplies
No one can stop the glow of the rising sun from spilling on this land full of disasters.
He Hao, who had almost not been able to sleep all night, hurriedly got up and packed his bags. He looked at the wall clock on the wall of the clinic indicating that it was 9:17. There is not much time left until the drop box. He had to be ready.
After hurriedly calling Lao Wang Tou and Xiaobei to express their meaning, they planned to leave the clinic.
The old and wise old Wang immediately stopped the reckless He Hao, and he suggested: "We don't know the situation outside, and if we go out rashly, I'm afraid we will encounter unnecessary trouble......"
"So what do you mean? I'm not going to wait here for the crate to fall on my head. He Hao's impatient character is reflected again.
"Don't worry, I have a great idea." Lao Wang Tou pointed to the 5-story building not far away and said, "If you are sure that it is safe, send this child to the top floor." Let her determine the closest drop point to us in this rare high point in town. ”
He Hao blinked as if he understood something.
The old king continued: "With my skills, I can help you get a good car, and then I will take you directly over and take the supplies from the corpses!" But...... You have to make sure that Becky is safe. ”
He Hao thought about it, this idea was indeed safer than risking his life to wander around the town. looked at the lean old man in front of him appreciatively, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you!"
He Hao generously took out a pistol and lent it to the old king.
The old king was pleasantly surprised, and soon said with a sad cry: "I won't make it ......."
He Hao smashed his mouth, took back the pistol, demonstrated the pull bolt and switch safety, and then handed it to him and said, "There are 8 bullets in it." Remember! Don't shoot unless you have to. ”
The old king pinned the gun to his waist as if he didn't understand, and then went to the neighborhood to find a suitable vehicle.
He Hao took Xiaobei into the high-rise building in the community. There was nothing unusual from the 1st floor to the 4th floor, but there were dry inky blood stains on the stairs leading to the 5th floor.
He Hao hurriedly grabbed Xiaobei's collar, pressed her against the wall, and turned around to make a booing motion.
Xiaobei, who was frightened, nodded hurriedly to show that he understood. Then He Hao handed her the crowbar in his hand, and in case of any danger, she also had a weapon by her side. And if you have a mechanical arm, there is basically no danger.
He Hao stepped lightly on several steps. Turning around, I saw a corpse with only half of my body left at the door of Room 2 on the 5th floor. The blackened intestines had withered and clung to the ground. The exposed flesh had already emitted a rotten smell, presumably dying on the day of the outbreak of the virus......
"That's not right!" He Hao suddenly realized the danger!
At the same time, a zombie let out a roar and suddenly flew towards He Hao from the blind spot at the door of Room 1.
The huge impact directly threw He Hao to the ground, and his body was crushed by the zombies. Even the arms were clamped by the iron fists of the zombies. It bit into He Hao's neck frantically, and it was just about to strike! He Hao raised his mechanical arm violently and blocked it in the zombie's mouth, blocking the fatal blow like a shield.
Unexpectedly, at this time, another half-body zombie crawled down from Room 1 on the 5th floor.
He Hao was exhausted from defending a zombie, and its appearance immediately determined the situation - He Hao was certain to die.
After Xiaobei, whose face was pale, came back to his senses, he rushed up quickly, held a crowbar high, and smashed it on the back of the zombie's head.
Her weak strength could not fatally injure the zombies at all, but instead set her body on fire.
The zombie instinctively gave up on He Hao and turned to pounce on Xiaobei.
She was a 14-year-old girl who was so frightened by the attack that she couldn't even lift the crowbar for defense.
He Hao, who got out of trouble, wanted to save Xiaobei directly, but it was too late! He Hao directly gave up and got up, and suddenly bent down and slid down the shovel. The soles of his feet kicked the zombie's heels.
The zombie, who didn't know how to guard against it, suddenly lost his balance after this blow, and his body fell backwards.
He Hao grabbed the head of the zombie that fell to him with his mechanical palm in the air, and then slammed it to the ground! Its head was crushed like a rotten melon under tremendous pressure!
The crisis has not been resolved! The half-body zombie had already crawled to his ear, and it opened its bloody mouth and pounced directly on He Hao's cheek! It's so close that you can even smell the rotten stench in its mouth!
He Hao's waist exerted force, tilting his body a little distance like the other side, which was the distance of 6 inches, to avoid its bite.
The zombie missed the blow and directly bit He Hao's shoulder!
"Click!"
A full-shoulder, mechanical exoskeleton is not something that zombie teeth can injure.
He Hao, who twisted up, swung a mechanical fist and struck hard, directly shattering its head.
"A fist for a tooth! Animal ......" He Hao got up slowly, and after seeing that the clothes on his shoulders were bitten, a cold sweat stained the underwear on his back.
He Hao swallowed his saliva, calmed down for a while, and pulled the trembling Xiaobei up from the wall. Help wipe the blood off her thin face.
Xiaobei cried in a low voice.
He Hao hugged her tightly into his arms and whispered comfortingly: "It's all over, it's okay."
At this moment, the security door of room 2 on the 5th floor creaked open.
A sallow-faced woman poked her head out unkempt. The eyes that had been disfigured by hunger looked terrifying.
"It's human...... Is it human? The woman said frantically, looking a little unexpected.
Xiaobei was frightened by the appearance of the woman in front of her, and couldn't help arching into He Hao's arms.
And He Hao replied softly, "Yes." ”
The woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Come in and hide, it's dangerous outside."
When He Hao walked to the 5th floor, he saw that the roof platform was led by a staircase, not a shaft. For safety, he led Becky into the woman's house.
The house is dark and has a pungent scent. Looking around the home, the pure wood furniture and high-end appliances are quite luxurious.
The woman stared at the hiking bag on He Hao's body for a while and asked, "Excuse me...... Do you have any food that you can share with me? ”
Xiaobei looked at He Hao, and he said, "No, we don't." The sharp gaze leaves no room for questioning.
"O'...... That's right," the woman's eyes showed no disappointment.
He Hao said with a little hesitation: "We plan to escape from here, I can take you outside the community, or leave this town." But before that, we have to go to the top. Look at the topography. ”
"You can go up from my house!" After the woman finished speaking, she led He Hao and Xiaobei to the attic, and only by climbing a few wooden stairs, they could reach the roof from a floor-to-ceiling window.
Hehao Station looks out from the edge, the field of vision is quite wide, and the center of the entire Zhonghe Town can be seen in full view. At the same time, He Hao saw a silver-white VR leap card speeding not far away.
This kind of car is rare in the world, and it is made in Germany. The front half resembles a jeep, with large tires, a high chassis, a wide nose, and a double row of 5-seaters. The rear half is a small truck body with a maximum load capacity of 1. 5 tons. It is an off-road vehicle that integrates passenger and freight transportation.
The VR leap card quickly passed through the driveway in front of the building. Running after 4 zombies.
I saw the body of the car rushing to the withered yellow lawn at great speed, and then flicked its tail violently on the sandy land, drifting and turning around. It seems to turn slightly too much in the flying sand and grass clippings. But instead of slowing down, the speed of the car crashed into the zombies like a mad cow!
The wide front of the car directly hit the waist of the zombie in front, and flew out more than seven meters with the sound of impact. The other was run straight under the wheel.
The zombie that was knocked into the air actually got up immediately, but because of the broken waist, the entire upper body leaned back, so the movement became extremely slow.
But the other two zombies had already rushed to the cab of the VR leap card, and the powerful force directly smashed the car window!
"Not good!" He Hao, who guessed that the driver was the old king, sweated tightly for him!
At this time, the VR leap card that stopped because of the impact and lost power quickly retreated in the harsh friction sound. Even take a zombie to the ground.
The car accelerates sharply during reversing! U-shaped, knock the two zombies down with the tail of the car and run over them.
The violent bumps did not affect the speed of the car at all. Even the car made a lightning-shaped double corner movement. Crush the waistless zombie who survived to the end.
The action is not muddy.
After the VR leap card braked suddenly, it was the old king who came down from above. He looked at He Hao on the roof and made an 'OK' gesture.
He Hao breathed a sigh of relief and extended a thumbs up to him.
The pace of events was so tight that before everyone had time to rest, the sound of helicopter rotors could be heard in the distant sky......
"Dada......" is getting louder and louder.
He Hao saw that in the clouds, there was a medium-sized helicopter flying in a circle around Zhonghe Town.
He Hao knew that the military's support operation for the survivors in the town had begun!
In order to adequately respond to this operation, he had to rush downstairs. When parting, he told Xiaobei to be sure to see the place where the materials were dropped. Then tell her some gestures to indicate where to land – point straight at the point, estimate the distance with the number of fingers outstretched, and estimate the landing altitude with the position of the flat palm on the body.
"Uncle...... You'll come back to pick me up, won't you? Xiaobei said this to He Hao's first words, but it was full of despair.
He Hao looked back at Xiaobei's flickering eyes, and then nodded slightly.
As he rushed downstairs, the helicopter dropped the first package.
The falling package of supplies fluctuated due to the air currents, and as the disposable parachute was propped open, it fell steadily in the direction of the wind.
Becky kept waving his hand on the roof of the building to show that there was no clear goal. He Hao, who had already driven the car to the maximum visible range of his vision, stared at Xiaobei's every move impatiently. As nearly two minutes passed, He Hao began to suspect that the 14-year-old girl might not be able to handle such a task at all.
If it weren't for the sound of the helicopter's rotors in the sky, it wouldn't have stopped. He Hao is afraid that he will have rushed back to the roof of the building a long time ago.
Suddenly, Xiaobei actually stretched out her arms and almost put them together to instruct.
Make a fist with your left hand and unfold it to 9.
The right hand is directly extended8. Later, he shook his hand and made 9.
Finally, the left hand is on the ground, and the right hand is waist-high.
She stood upright for two seconds and then repeated......
"What do you mean?" The old king was confused. He Hao shook his head with a sigh and said that he couldn't understand it.
Xiaobei was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the roof, but his movements did not change.
Suddenly, He Hao's eyes widened violently, and he suddenly realized: "Get in the car!" Get in! Come on! ”
"What...... What's wrong? Lao Wangtou mechanically started the VR leap card and drove the car out of the community according to He Hao's instructions. With the sound of the metal explosion, the locked gate at the entrance of the community was slammed open, and even half of the gate flew out two meters away, sparking a spark on the ground.
The huge wheels drove over it as if they were walking on the ground, and the bells rattled.
"It was Xiaobei who found a direction, and two material packages landed in adjacent places!"
After Lao Wang knew that He Hao understood Xiaobei's instructions, he increased the throttle fiercely. Don't worry about anything!
Xiaobei watched He Hao and them go away, standing alone on the top of the building, looking into the distance in confusion, she guessed that He Hao would not come back after leaving......
The power of the VR jump card is only 1 though. 8 displacement, but the ability to move up should not be underestimated. Under the driving of the old king, it is as unstoppable as a tiger descending the mountain and an evil Jiao diving in the pool.
"Drive 19,000 meters first! There's one that fell to the ground! Find the one that is easy to get on the ground first! He Hao recalled Xiaobei's gesture and said - he told Xiaobei that 1 finger represents 1000 meters. Large-span estimation to broaden the scope of your search. The searchability of material packages is ensured.
"19,000 meters!" The old king was stunned for a moment, and shouted after adding to the accelerator again: "Impossible!" Buddy! That's too far for us! ”
He Hao's eyes rolled left and right, thinking that 19,000 meters was indeed not an ideal location for them! But Xiaobei obviously made a 9 gesture after clenching his fist first. Doesn't it mean nineteen? Don't......
"! It's 900 meters! He Hao covered his forehead and shouted.
Yes, Becky's gesture is not '19'. It's '0. 9’
At this moment, Lao Wang's head pushes neutral gear, continuously steps on the brakes, and at the same time downshifts sharply to carry out engine traction braking and stabilize the power of the leaping card. The other hand vigorously and continuously flicked the steering wheel from side to side. Then he stepped on the clutch hard, and when the car was still spinning, he forcibly pushed the gear and stepped on the accelerator again!
I saw that while the body of the VR jumping truck slightly slowed down, the car made a direct 180-degree turn, and even one side of the body could not grasp the ground and lifted slightly. If it weren't for the huge and heavy body, it would have rolled out on its side. When the front of the car has not yet been adjusted, the rear-wheel drive wheels are already pumping up, pushing the car like an arrow!
It's just a split second!
The speed is from 110 to 0. Plummeting to 85 in 9 seconds to complete a 180-degree drift turn. At the same time, ensure that the vehicle does not turn off, does not temper, and does not roll over in the case of 1. 2 seconds to 104 endurance.
What a skill!
He Hao, who had not yet reacted, was stunned by the sudden turn. The body is pressed against the inside of the door. If it weren't for the metal barrier, he would have flown out of the car for at least 30 meters!
When He Hao looked at it almost instantly, the car ran back, and he couldn't help muttering "God......
At this moment, the danger level of Zhonghe Town has been raised to the peak!
Whether it's the sound of helicopters whirling in the air or the survivors emerging from all corners of town. The zombies were set on fire like gunpowder!
The tide of nearly 70,000 zombies in the town set off a shock, and the cold and lonely town instantly revived the wind of death. More than 9,000 survivors roamed the town.
Time seems to have gone back to the moment of the virus outbreak a few days ago!
When VR Yueka rushed to an intersection, a 7-ton diesel truck sprang out from the left, and the thunderous whistle was deafening. Like a cannonball with a broken sound, it rushed towards He Hao and Lao Wangtou.
"Ahh The old king exclaimed, he instinctively stepped on the accelerator to the root, turned the steering wheel lightly, and only avoided it with a deviation of 20 degrees of steering at an angle of 20 degrees.
The diesel heavy truck tilted its body due to a serious misoperation of oversteering, and it crashed into a dessert shop at the corner of the intersection before it had time to turn back to the front direction. The entire front of the car was almost flattened against the collapsed wall.
Then more than 100 zombies followed frantically pounced on the wreckage of the car, not letting go of the flesh and blood left behind......
The situation of VR jumping card is also in crisis! Although it was able to avoid the impact, it also hit the street lamp on the side of the road, and the old king turned sharply to avoid it. But there was still unavoidable damage - the entire front windshield was shattered by the impact. Fortunately, the explosion-proof film was strong and did not hurt the people inside. But the white cracked glass obstructed the view.
He Hao immediately used the mechanical palm to tear off the front window, and the old king regretted it.
When they returned to a position 900 meters away from the Shengyue community, they found a half-meter square material package more than 20 meters away from a fork.
At the moment, there are a number of cars parked around this package. The survivors are fighting each other as they fight against the zombies that are constantly popping up around them.
There was even a man in a suit who was already standing on top of the supply package. He wielded the iron hose in his hand to banish the survivors.
His companion was using a trailer hook to try to connect to the wire rope on the parachute.
The other survivors who did not occupy the advantageous control of the scene, even if they were attacked on their backs, constantly put pressure on their gang, and tried every means to obstruct them.
ONE OF THE BURLY MEN WALKED BRISKLY TO THE JEEP OFF-ROAD VEHICLE THAT WAS TRYING TO TOW AWAY THE SUPPLY PACKAGE. Wielding the homemade horse chopping knife in his hand made of iron pipes and machetes, the tires of the car were slashed and cracked, and if they were replaced with ordinary road tires, I am afraid that the tires would have been blown up long ago.
"Grass mud horses! Stop it! The co-pilot of the JEEP SUV slammed the door and jumped off, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out.
The strong man's chopper in his hand swung horizontally, and the dagger was swept away with the broad blade. Then he took advantage of the situation to retract the knife, and directly opened a huge blood hole in the co-pilot's chest.
"Don't drop supplies! Lao Tzu to see who dares to go! The strong man vented his killing intent and stood with a horizontal sword. It chills down the spine.
The zombie offensive is getting more and more fierce. The survivors on the periphery were a little overwhelmed.
At this time, a tall and thin man rushed out of the driving position on the JEEP off-road vehicle, with a thick dirty bandage wrapped around his chest and back, faintly stained with blood. His face was sallow, like a half-lifed body.
The tall, thin man propped up the front of the car with one hand and jumped to the roof. Pull out a long dagger from your waist.
The dagger is different from the other - the blade is wide and heavy, and the handle is thick and long, which is not enough to hold in one hand. The whole body is inky, and it is so dark that you can't even see the cold light of the blade.
"Great Eagle! Kill him! The brothers can't hold it anymore! Now the man on the package shouted at the tall and thin man.
Without saying a word, the man, nicknamed the Great Eagle, stabbed his dagger out of thin air from the roof of the car to the strong man under the car.
Dahan saw that he was holding a dagger in his hand before, and he didn't care about his inexplicable actions at all.
Suddenly! The black dagger in the big eagle's hand actually flew out from the root of the blade, breaking an inch every foot it flew out, and continued to fly out one by one......
In an instant, the black dagger actually split into several sections, forming an illusory chain blade of more than 2 meters!
The strong man was shocked, but he could still dodge the flying tip of the knife!
"Poof!" The dagger chain blade directly penetrated the strong man's heart without the slightest setback!
The eagle's arm swung horizontally, and the dagger blade directly cut through the strong man's chest, and then quickly retracted back into place, without a drop of blood on it.
How sharp!
Dahan's death shocked everyone present. All the survivors have given up their plans to compete with Big Eagle and the others for the supply package. Begin to use all your strength to assault the encirclement of zombies. After all, at this time, the zombie group has reached the point where there are three layers inside and three layers outside. Since you can't take away the supplies, then you can't put your life here!
That's it! The situation has changed......
