Chapter 541: Expansion
The chaotic streets are the heart of the city at a glance, and there are all kinds of shops and shopping malls scattered throughout the pedestrian streets, densely packed with any direction as far as the eye can see.
On the side of the road, the towering hotels, as well as the extraordinary residential buildings and various office buildings that can be seen at a glance, all tell how prosperous this place was in the first place.
However, everything is over, like a withered flower, everything is quickly withering in the end of the world.
The once bustling shops on the street are now dilapidated, littered with garbage and dust, and the bustling hotels and office buildings are no longer as prosperous as they once were, with filthy walls and green creepers crawling all over the walls.
It's just that in the middle of the road, the trees in the original green belt are growing more vigorously in the last days, as if absorbing nutrients, and you can see branches and leaves one by one, blocking the sunlight shining on the sidewalk.
A procession of several black-out cars came to a halt in the middle of the city, which was now dilapidated and desolate.
It can be seen that at the moment when the vehicle stopped, the door opened uniformly, and the people in the car walked down as if at the same time.
Heavily armed personnel, spear in hand, face mask and sunglasses, looking murderous in the daytime when the sun was already shining.
Standing at the front of the group, a short-haired man with a somewhat grim appearance raised his arms, which glistened silver in the sun, and assigned, in his headphones as he waved.
"20 people, divided into 2 teams, one wave into the Gulou Pedestrian Street, one wave on the periphery of the pedestrian street! See no living creatures, except humans, not a single one left! ”
"Understood!"
The crowd behind them shouted cold words together, and in an instant, like predatory hunters, they split into two groups and swept towards their respective destinations.
It can be seen that a group of people instantly formed a team to rush into the entrance of the pedestrian street on the side, and the other team, surrounding the lively street in the center of the city, spread to the periphery.
The convoy was instantly quiet, and several cars were parked quietly, only the man who seemed to be the leader pulled down his mask, leaned against the door, lit a cigarette comfortably, and smoked.
He looked up at this pedestrian street that he was very familiar with at the beginning, obviously with an inexplicable emotion.
There was a noise in the headphones, and after a while, the voice of a person came from the headphones.
"Aaron, are you worried about these boys? Half of them are newcomers who have just joined the third team, so you just let them do the clean-up tasks on their own? ”
The male voice in the headphones was very clear, with ridiculous words, which made Chen Long's expression of smoking a cigarette a little funny.
He spit out a smoke ring like no one, looked up at the sunlight in the sky, and then slowly picked it up and said: "Bao Hui, you kid has taken your fourth team, in the area of the Drum Tower, I have been scouting for a month, in the area of the Drum Tower, there are no strongholds of anthropomorphic beasts, and there are no xenobiotic beasts, if these boys still need me!" When I go back to the stronghold tonight, I'll break their doglegs one by one! ”
Bao Hui, who was in the headphones, obviously heard Chen Long's words, smiled happily, and then said: "That's the same, I took the fourth team, but in this month's time, the safe route from the stronghold to the drum tower, as well as the surrounding layout, as well as all the details inside and outside the drum tower, have been investigated clearly, if you still can't figure it out, then it really shouldn't be!" ”
Chen Long listened to Bao Hui's words and pursed his lips, but he still had a smile on his face.
Following his raised gaze, he looked at a tall building next to the main gate of Gulou Pedestrian Street, which was the top floor of the original Asia-Pacific Hotel, where a man followed his gaze and waved his hand.
Although there was only a small figure in sight, Long Chen knew that this was Bao Hui who was on the roof of the building with the members of the fourth team and was inspecting this area.
The task of cleaning up the streets of Gulou this time is very important, Bao Hui's fourth squad and Chen Long's third squad can be said to be out of the nest, because this area, according to the third brother's meaning, is to establish a new trading point here, as well as a new survival base.
Putting away his thoughts, Long Chen continued to speak: "By the way, why haven't the people from the City God Temple stronghold on Tianyi come to clean the area of the Drum Tower until now? It seems that it is only about two kilometers away from Tianyi! ”
"You think too much, this area is the most prosperous city center in Ningcheng, and it is also the place with the largest population base! All kinds of schools, shopping malls, hotels, various communities, houses, clubs, parks, and zombies are also very large! I have investigated, and I have specifically inquired about Lao Chen, who has contact with the stronghold of the City God Temple, although the stronghold of the City God's Temple is one of the best among the four strongholds in Ningcheng, but because of the location here and its own proximity, it is also very contradictory! ”
"Contradictions? What do you mean? Because the zombie base is too large, it has not been able to expand? Or is it because of the material? ”
Chen Long was a little puzzled, and asked naturally while smoking.
Bao Hui's tone in the headphones was as calm as ever, and when it came to business, he, as the eldest of the four heroes, was also more restrained.
"Contradiction! This is also known as internal and external competition! Tianyi This area, as the most prosperous and lively area in Ningcheng, will not lack materials and resources! There will be no shortage of zombies and populations! But because of this area, the materials and resources are too huge, which has also led to the breeding of various groups! Let me tell you, I arranged for my subordinates to enter the stronghold of the City God Temple during this time, and the area where Tianyi was cleared by the survivors, and the information I got was very interesting! ”
"Don't sell me off! Say it! ”
Chen Long seemed a little anxious, and he would be curious about some interesting content.
Bao Hui smiled in the headphones and said, "You know what? Around Tianyi Square, there are probably more than a dozen human strongholds of different sizes! From Heyi Avenue in the north against the Yuyao River to the Nanyuan Hotel in the south, there are such a large number of strongholds in the most prosperous place in Ningcheng at the beginning! And there are also various gangs and groups entrenched here! And the area that has not been cleared out and there are a large number of zombies! You say, this place is interesting! ”
"The people in this stronghold of the City God Temple are too bad! It's even more useless than Lao Chen's original Textile City stronghold! At the very least, Lao Chen's will unify the various forces in the vicinity! Huanning City ZF base is one of the best! ”
"Eh, don't underestimate him! Indeed, according to the report of the brothers who infiltrated their stronghold, their internal staffing is not bad, and our trading point has also contacted them head-on some time ago and started a transaction! It's just that these various forces in Tianyi are not weak compared to them! This is the reason why they cannot be easily unified! Some large gangs and groups, their survival strongholds, are even no less than the number of people and numbers in the stronghold of the City God's Temple! The most important thing is that these groups and gangs mixed with this post-apocalyptic human race have also joined forces to attract the attention of the ZF stronghold of the City God Temple! From the investigation, it was found that there have been several clashes and battles on their side this month! You said that on a day like this, what else do they have to do to expand to a few kilometers away, the terrain is complex, and there are all kinds of zombies, this Gulou Pedestrian Street area! ”
