Chapter Twenty-Three: It's a Mission

With Battalion Commander Lu's instructions, Ning Min soon received his first task: to collect supplies for Town C with the Stranger.

The Adeptus Squad is made up of the base's five surviving Adepts, with one soldier as their leader. The team that Ning Min participated in Yang Jie was a fire-based ability, a wind-based ability's name: Zhang Daying, an earth-based ability's name: Wang Dayu, and a thunder-based ability's name: Feng Tao. There is also a captain - Chen Lei, although Chen Lei is an ordinary person, he has rich combat experience and good marksmanship, and he is still very convincing in the team.

The Adeptus team got to know each other briefly. The next day, the team set off in two jeeps. Before leaving, the soldiers who lived near Zhang Deshu sent Ning Min a lot of compressed biscuit mineral water, and told his sister-in-law to take care.

Someone also pulled the squad leader Chen Lei aside and threatened him, which made Ning Min cry and laugh.

Chen Lei, Ning Min, and Yang Jie had one car, and Zhang Daying, Wang Dayu, and Feng Tao drove another car. Slowly drove out of the base gate.

For the first time, Ning Min saw what the outside of the red base was like: the base was surrounded by iron mesh, leaving only a large iron gate to enter and exit, and there were two guard towers on the left and right of the gate. Not only are there people on the tower on guard, but there are also soldiers guarding the gate under the tower.

Out of the door, about a hundred meters. There was another iron net, and there was also only one large iron gate to enter and exit, and there were also two guard towers, and there were guards. However, near this iron gate, there are still a few bungalows, and people are constantly coming in and out.

"This is the examination room and the observation room, and the examination room checks whether the people who have returned from the mission or those who have fled have any injuries. The observation room observes if the injured person will turn into a zombie. Chen Lei explained to Ning Min and Yang Jie, and Ning Min, who listened, nodded again and again.

Yang Jie smiled and said, "I was inspected here when I came in." ”

More people are stationed in this barbed wire fence, and there are people patrolling the barbed wire fence all the time. Presumably to prevent zombies from breaking the barbed wire.

Ning Min couldn't help but shake his head, this kind of barbed wire is okay to stop ordinary zombies, if it is a high-level zombie, I'm afraid that the barbed wire can be cut open with my fingernails.

Drive further on, and out of the iron gate. It's a vast piece of land, there should have been a lot of trees here, and there were a lot of tree stumps left on the ground, presumably in order to better clean up the zombies, the base specially organized people to cut them down.

There are a lot of ordinary people or low-level abilities here, who are fighting the zombies bravely. Zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell, and if there are more people in a place, then zombies will also gather in a place where there are many people. So in a place like the base, someone needs to constantly clean up the zombies in the peripheral areas.

The two cars drove out without a pause. Fortunately, after driving for more than ten minutes, there are fewer and fewer zombies. Yang Jie and Ning Min both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Lei drove the car smoothly, looking at the two of them, a little funny: "You all come out on a mission for the first time, right?!" Don't worry, our base organizes a cleanup of zombies once every three days, and you will see so many zombies outside the base. ”

"Captain, then where we go to collect supplies, are there many zombies?!" Yang Jie was also the first to come out on a mission, but she was actually quite nervous. She had worked hard to escape, but she didn't want to die so soon.

"Don't worry, I know that the population of C Town is not large. Many young adults have gone to work in big cities, and only a few have stayed in Town C. Chen Lei seemed very relaxed, which made Yang Jie and Ning Min also relax. The three of them talked and laughed, and if you ignore the zombies that appear on the side of the road from time to time, the scene is very warm.

The car sped on the road for about an hour and a half, passing several small villages and approaching Town C. From a distance, there is not a single zombie in the village, which looks very weird. Not only Yang Jie and Ning Min looked uneasy, but even Chen Lei also looked solemn. The car slowly drove into Town C, starting from the first house that caught my eye to the center of the town. The whole town was empty, not a single survivor, not a single zombie.

The two cars slowly stopped, and six people got out of the car one after another. Everyone took their weapons in front of them and looked around, but there was no movement. Feng Tao was more impatient, and yelled directly at the streets of the town: "Is there anyone?!" ”

The six men raised their weapons, all ready to fight the big wave of zombies. A minute, two minutes, ten minutes passed and it was still eerily quiet. Ning Min felt that this should not be called quiet, it should be called dead silence, although there were green trees and scorching sun around, it did not reveal a little vitality.

"Let's go. Everyone stays in formation. Stay safe! Chen Lei held a gun and took the lead in front of everyone. They first went to the supermarket in the center of the town, and there was also a dead silence in the supermarket, and there was no one in the supermarket. The lights in the supermarket were all on, and Ning Min saw that the cash register was still showing the amount of purchases. Yang Jie directly picked up the candy box on the cashier and poured it into the backpack.

"What are you doing with that, it's useless." Wang Dayu and Yang Jie of the same team were different, so they directly picked up the cigarettes on the counter and stuffed them into their backpacks.

"Cut, you're even more useless, aren't you?" Yang Jie rolled her eyes and continued to search for the candy box.

"No, it can't be. The supplies here are too complete and too neat. Someone in Town C has fled to our base, and they've already looted a lot of supplies. It's a supermarket, and there's no way no one has come to pick it up. Don't search, go somewhere else and take a look. Chen Lei was a little nervous, he could sense the weirdness of every pore on his body, but he couldn't say where it was weird.

Wang Dayu and Yang Jie looked at each other and put down the things in their hands. The group retreated from the supermarket and walked towards the town hospital next to it. The town hospital is also empty, but it has electricity as well as the supermarket. Ning Min walked to the infusion observation room, there was no one inside, but the infusion tube was still dripping with medicine. Like, someone just hung in the water here. Ning Min was about to push open the door of the infusion room, when suddenly, a scream broke the dead silence of C Town.
