After separating from the three survivors, Jason's team continued to run towards the jewelry store, where "Norma's National Dream - Deer Park" was still some distance away, and the little episode that had just happened didn't delay everyone too much.

"Head, did you think those survivors would go to Dallas after listening to you?" Jaden, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, asked suddenly.

"I don't know, I hope God will bless them," Jason shook his head, his gaze wandering out of the window.

"It's 400 kilometers in a straight line to Dallas, and I don't think they can get there, and even if they do, they won't necessarily find refuge in that big city." Tom said, "Why don't the institute open a shelter in the area next to it, so that some of the survivors can be accommodated." ”

"If there is a shelter here, once the news spreads, people from the whole Houston and even the surrounding cities may rush over, our institute does not have the strength to take care of them, and it will be a matter of time before something goes wrong," Jason knew that his soldiers were somewhat complaining about giving up on rescuing survivors back to the institute, he had the same thoughts as these soldiers before, but after communicating with Dr. Mario and other senior officials of the institute, he understood their difficulties.

The armed forces of the institute are only enough to protect its own security and maintain stability, and if another area is opened up as a shelter, then this shelter will inevitably occupy some of the resources of the institute, such as manpower and materials. By the time the vault is completed, there will be quite a few survivors waiting to be taken in by the fourth largest city in the country, not to mention the other surrounding cities.

When the population exceeds the load of the base itself, trouble will ensue, and this truth will be understood with a little brain. Dr. Martin had previously used a computer to simulate the carrying capacity of the institute, and she had come up with clear figures at the time, and she had used a new algorithm to extrapolate other disadvantages that might arise from a growing population.

In the process of gathering a large number of refugees in one direction, it is very likely that the zombies scattered in the vicinity will also be attracted together, and these zombies will form a corpse group when they follow the refugees to transfer, and the formation process of the corpse group that destroyed the Tampa Research Institute is closely related to this reason, so the management of the institute finally made a difficult decision to stand by the surrounding refugees after communicating with Warzenton.

"I see," the people in the car nodded after hearing Jason's explanation.

"Two blocks to Norma," said Tom, who had been circling the road for about an hour, roughly judging the distance between the line and the jewelry store based on the street signs.

"Be careful," Jason said in a joking tone, "and we're doing private work this time, and whoever gives his life here won't get a death pension." ”

As the team approached their destination, everyone in the car, except for the driver, Tom, began to pack up their equipment. The Norma store is located in an area far from the research institute, and Jason is not careless when it comes to security.

There are still traces of many cities in the vicinity, but the aftermath of the disaster is strong. Most of the original corpses on the streets have turned to white bones, and there are some tattered garbage in between. The wind lifted the cement ash peeling off the walls from the ground, curling the scrapped car bodies on the side of the road.

The devastation is what the city feels like for everyone.

"Looks like the car can't get in," Jason said, looking at the road ahead of him that was blocked by the wreckage of the car, "and take a look around from the side." ”

Tom drove his armored bulletproof vehicle around the intersection of the neighboring blocks, and when he turned the corner, he found that the road conditions on this side were even worse.

"It should have been bustling before the disaster, and there were more cars than people," said abandoned vehicles piled up on the road in front of them, some of which were as high as two stories high. Tom's words may sound exaggerated, but they are.

Most of the vehicles that crashed together were badly deformed, and some of them were only black shells from the fire, a devastation that showcased the chaos of the disaster. Jason and the others got out of the car, checked the intersection and gave up on passing through here.

"Go back to where you were," Jason said to Tom, and he led everyone back to the car.

Gurkha F5 turned back to its previous position, the road here was also full of vehicles, but the obstacles were much weaker than the intersection just now, and Jason planned to give it a try to see if the bulletproof armored car could push it in.

Tom followed Jason's instructions and drove the car forward, and the front bumper pushed them forward against the cars in front of them. The resistance at the front of the car increased, and when he slowly couldn't push it, Tom increased the power of the body, allowing the front of the Gurkha F5 to climb directly onto the body of the low-profile car in front.

The Gurkha F5 ran over the scrapped vehicles, which were crushed to the end. The armored car bumped a little as it ran over the cars, but the people in the cars enjoyed the thrill of the steel behemoth.

"Damn, this feels so cool," Tom would have danced with his hands if he hadn't been holding the steering wheel, "It's much more energetic than the Hummer we were at the base back then, this is our man's pet." ”

"That's pretty good horsepower," Jason nodded. This Gurkha F5 military armored bulletproof vehicle is equipped with the 75th Infantry Division of the United States Army, and the base of this unit is in Houston. However, the 75th Infantry Division was severely damaged when the disaster occurred, and the previous four brigades were almost completely wiped out. Most of the surviving soldiers were also moved to Fort Hood to join up with the Army's 3rd Army there, while the few remaining remained in the city to help with the Institute's recovery and rebuilding efforts.

The Houston Research Institute has become the most powerful institution in the country after being strengthened by personnel from Tampa and New Orleans, and the country's attention to it has suddenly increased a lot, and it has now become one of the few units that can receive regular airdrops of supplies.

"I love this muscle car," Jaden exclaimed excitedly, "I've also been in tanks on military bases in Miami, guys, I don't know how to describe that feeling." ”

"When you're sitting in a tank, when it runs over those normal cars, it feels like a brick on top of tofu." Jaden gestured with his hand, "No one can stop it on the whole road." ”

"In urban terrain, tanks are not as agile as bulletproof armored vehicles, and in some cases they can be slightly bulky." Jason said, he saw that Tom had already driven the car in, and suddenly a lot of zombies appeared behind the obstacle in front of him, "Looks like we're in trouble." ”

"Find a position to defend first, let's get out of the car and kill them," Jason observed the situation ahead before giving Tom the order.

There were a lot of zombies on the road, and they crowded around when they heard the roar of car engines. The bulletproof armored vehicle climbs over the obstacles stacked on the road, and it can't do the same effective killing of zombies as it does on flat ground.

Tom drove to the courtyard wall of a building on the side of the road according to Jason's order, and the soldiers in the car got out of the car and rushed into the courtyard, and after everyone eliminated the zombies wandering inside, they then leaned against the courtyard wall to shoot at the corpses approaching outside.

This kind of battle has long been familiar to Jason and his teammates, and everyone's accuracy is not low, and after a while, the outside of the courtyard wall will be strewn with corpses, and there will be no less than fifty or sixty zombies lying on the ground.

When there was no longer a standing figure outside, everyone walked out from behind the courtyard wall, and after Jason had mended their guns on some of the zombies that were still moving on the ground, he walked towards the gate of "Norma's National Dream - Deer Park" with confidence.

The side of the street in Norma was covered with floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, and when Jason approached the door, the floor was covered in shattered glass shards.

The glass walls were also a mess, as it seemed to have been looted during the disaster, but judging from the few skeletons lying on the floor and the gold and silver jewelry scattered on the side, the bandits who took advantage of the disaster to loot the shop did not end well.

"These are a bunch of people who want money and don't want to die," Tom said coldly as he looked at the corpses on the ground, his tone a little disdainful.

A few more zombies appeared in the store, and Jason and his team were waiting outside for them to come out. As soon as the zombies arrived at the door, they were shot there by the soldiers outside. Black blood spilled on the ground, mingling with the shards of shattered glass, staining the shiny crystals with a reddish to black hue.

The threat in the neighborhood was finally cleared, and everyone entered the jewelry store, where they were able to take a look at the displays.

The pre-disaster jewels were no longer visible, and the giant crystal chandelier in the middle of the ceiling of the hall was not shining because of the ashes. There are no lights in the room, but the glass walls are broken a lot, and the lack of damage does not affect the light from the outside.

In the middle of the lobby of the jewelry store is a circle of glass counters surrounded by squares, and the glass on the countertop has almost been smashed with hard objects, and most of the counters are empty.

Jason turned his head to look at the jewels that had been spilled around the bones, and shook his head with some regret. There are a lot of jewelry in it that are still very chic, but because of the relationship between the corpses, Jason is a little resistant to these jewelry in his heart. After all, it was something he was going to give to Hill at the wedding, and he wasn't going to pick one up and send it back to him so sloppily.

"Go inside," Jason beckoned to his companion.

"Head, what's going on at this counter?" Zach shouted at Jason.

Several people gathered around the hall to find that it was the only counter in the hall that had survived, and the glass top was covered in a thick layer of ash, which Jason wiped away with his hands to see the rings and necklaces on the shelves inside.

"Yes, bring them with you," Jason nodded, "let's go back to the room and see if there's a better fit." ”
