Chapter 578 Risking Your Life
The officer on duty was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, dropped the pitchfork in his hand, and ran into the room as if he were flying.
The workers reacted quickly, and they followed Da Fei outside, just in time to see Chen Bin and Chen Ting running back.
"What's going on?" Da Fei looked at the two companions with anxious faces, not knowing what was going on.
"The corpses are coming, everyone has to move immediately," Chen Bin didn't have time to explain to him more, the current situation is not an exaggeration to describe it as 100,000 urgent, he shouted to Da Fei and the workers in the courtyard, "You go to Dongtan, notify the nearby sentry to be ready to deal with it, and then go to the armed forces department to report the news." ”
After Chen Bin finished speaking, he turned around and ran out. "Where are you going?" , Chen Ting asked.
"I'm going to drive away these zombies and try to bring them back to the danger zone," Chen Bin said, "You and Da Fei will take everyone to move together, pay attention to safety." ”
"No, it's too dangerous for you to rush out of the defense line alone with a group of corpses," Chen Ting grabbed Chen Bin's arm, because Chen Bin's behavior seemed to her to be tantamount to sending him to death.
"There's no time to hesitate, if you let the corpses pour in from here and spread, it will be a disaster for Chongming Island, I have to try," Chen Bin pulled Chen Ting's hand away, his gaze was very firm, "I'll be fine, you also have to take care." ”
Chen Bin came to the outside of the courtyard, he got into his patrol car, and then started the car immediately.
Just when Chen Bin rushed out of the yard without looking back, Chen Ting stomped her feet in a hurry because she couldn't hold him, and she saw that she couldn't keep Chen Bin, so she had to turn her head and shout at Da Fei, "I have to follow, he is too dangerous alone, please leave the matter here to you, Da Fei." ”
"What, don't go!" Before Da Fei could react, Chen Ting had already chased him out.
"Alas!" Da Fei was also in a hurry this time, he wanted to act with his companions at this moment, but more than a dozen people in front of him looked at him in a daze, so that Da Fei had no way to leave them alone.
"Everybody come with me," shook off the impulsive thought in his mind, Da Fei took Liao Jianghong and the staff of the farm to drive quickly, and when he went out, Liao Jianghong and several attentive employees also locked the door of the farm.
Chen Bin started the car, and then he turned on the headlights, and the headlights shone forward, and he saw a dense group of corpses.
"Oh my God!" Chen Bin's heart was about to beat to his throat. The number of zombies in the corpse group can only be described as shocking, and what he is afraid of is not these zombies, but afraid that they will spread out in the safe zone of Chongming.
The wheels jolted on the dirt, and Chen Bin heard an "ouch" sound from the rear compartment of the pickup truck, and he turned his head to meet Chen Ting's eyes through the rear window of the cab.
Chen Bin stopped the car with a foot of the brake, and he yelled at Chen Ting, "Why did you follow the car, get out of here with them." ”
"I'm not leaving," Chen Ting's tone didn't show weakness at all, "You can come, why can't I come." ”
"I'm a man," Chen Bin said, turning his head and glancing at the group of corpses approaching, he couldn't help but feel anxious, "Now is not the time to be rash, you hurry up and get out of the car now to catch up with them, it's dangerous to stay here." ”
"I'm a soldier," Chen Ting folded her hands on her chest, ignoring Chen Bin.
Chen Bin couldn't do anything about her, and the corpses surrounded him again, so he had to start the car again, preparing to go around before being surrounded by the corpses.
"It's too dangerous to sit in the front, the back compartment is not covered," Chen Bin shouted at the girl in the back of the car.
Chen Ting was overjoyed when she heard his words, and quickly picked up the gun and ran to the passenger cab to sit.
The situation was very serious, Chen Bin was no longer speechless, his eyes were firmly locked on the moving corpses, the headlights of the car swept over the edge of the corpses, and the car kept shuttling back and forth in the fields.
Chen Bin kept honking the horn, letting the sound attract the attention of the zombies, and in order to attract more zombies, he had to venture several times to get close to the corpses.
Chen Ting pressed the window glass of the car and stretched the muzzle of the gun out from there, and from time to time she aimed at the zombies on the edge of the corpse group and fired a few shots to help Chen Bin attract the attention of the corpse group. It is difficult to ensure the accuracy of shooting from a moving car, but the occasional zombie that has been shot and falls to the ground trips over its companions behind them, which also has the effect of slowing down the movement of the corpses slightly.
"Sit tight," the embankment was in front of it, and when the car drove over, it would jolt violently, and when Chen Bin reminded Chen Ting, Chen Ting also tacitly put the gun back.
"Bang," the car sped off the ground as it quickly drove over the top of the embankment, and when it hit the ground again, the two people in the car seemed to have fallen heavily on their chairs. Fortunately, they were wearing seat belts, so Chen Bin and Chen Ting did not hit the front windshield.
There was a depression in the bottom of the embankment, and Chen Bin was worried that the car would sink into it as it passed, so he turned the car around and drove some distance south along the edge of the bottom of the embankment. It's still a bit far from the nearest sentry point, but the mud at the bottom of the levee is much drier because it's far from the sea.
The group of corpses behind the car chased after him, Chen Bin didn't know if there were any zombies left behind, but he couldn't care about it now, because just now he was trying his best to gather the corpses and attract them to move with the car.
A section of the barbed wire fence on the defensive line collapsed, and Chen Bin entered through the broken opening. In the dark of night, you can't see your fingers in the danger zone, and you can barely see the road surface only where the front and rear lights shine.
Behind the car was the sound of "brushing" footsteps, and the corpses that had broken through the barbed wire fence were carried around and back by the car on the way to the dairy farm.
"You have to drive some distance inside, otherwise those zombies still have the possibility of entering the safe area again," Chen Bin made up his mind in his heart. But when he made this decision, he unconsciously glanced at Chen Ting beside him, with some guilt in his eyes.
Because the decision he made was very beneficial to the safety of Chongming District, but it would put himself and his companions in danger.
Chen Bin's original intention was not to have a companion come in with him, but he didn't expect Chen Ting to sneak up and get into the back compartment of the pickup.
Different from Chen Bin's state of mind, although Chen Ting knew the danger of this trip, she was not afraid at all, on the contrary, because she could help Chen Bin in danger, the girl's heart was even slightly excited.
"As long as I live, I won't let you die," just as Chen Bin turned his gaze back to the front of the car, the girl also glanced at him, her gaze was very firm, and it interpreted another meaning.
In order to continue to attract the corpses behind him at night, Chen Bin still honked the horn from time to time, and the horn of the car was particularly harsh in this quiet night. Not far behind the car, tightly embellished figures rubbed shoulders one after another, and their mouths let out a low "ho-ho" roar, and they followed tirelessly.
After Da Fei took Liao Jianghong and the workers away from the farm, he arranged for these people to report in the direction of Dongtan first, and he went to a nearby sentry to find someone. Da Fei found the nearest first sentry post, and the soldiers took action after learning the news, and under the arrangement of the non-commissioned officer of the sentry, some of them were divided to report to the surrounding units, and some of them stayed behind for mobile vigilance.
On a winter night, the news of the corpses breaking through the northern defense line of Chongming was like wings, and the lights were lit up wherever it flew, the soldiers were moving, and the civilians were organized to move south, and there was a brief commotion in a few places, but it was quickly quelled.
After Da Fei notified him all the way along the way, he finally brought the news back to the Dongtan Armed Forces.
Xu Yueming and Jiang Yongsheng were shocked into a cold sweat after getting the news in the middle of the night, and the two of them knew very well what it meant that something like this on Chongming Island meant. In less than ten minutes, the mobilization order of the Dongtan Armed Forces Department was sent, and at the same time, the news was also sent to the headquarters of the Disaster Relief Command on Changxing Island.
At present, only the few armed forces left on Chongming Island can be relied on, but these remaining soldiers are scattered all over the place, and they cannot be effectively assembled at the first time, and due to time and other factors, the order of action cannot be transmitted to every soldier in time.
"How could the situation suddenly collapse?" Before the look of shock on Xu Yueming's face dissipated, he couldn't wait to ask Da Fei the reason.
"Didn't you send back news during the day that someone had sneaked into the dangerous area, why did a large group of zombies suddenly appear in the middle of the night and cross our defenses?" Jiang Yongsheng was also stunned, because according to the layout of the defense line on Chongming Island, as long as there was a movement of zombies nearby, the news would be received in time.
"I don't know, today I and Chen Bin and Chen Ting stayed at the farm to observe the situation according to your arrangement, the three of us were on duty in turn, and the people on patrol at that time were Chen Bin and Chen Ting."
"Lao Xu, there are too few units that can respond for the time being, what should I do?" Jiang Yongsheng asked anxiously, "We are short of people!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the special line communicator on the table rang again.
"It's an instruction from Changxing Island (the headquarters of the Disaster Relief Headquarters)," Jiang Yongsheng gestured to Xu Yueming, who picked up the communicator and began to communicate and coordinate with the military.
"The Changxing Island side is ready to drive over the troops assembled on the front line, but we need to hold out until tomorrow morning, and we must try our best to control the situation," Jiang Yongsheng put down the communicator after communicating with the other party, and he discussed with Xu Yueming, "At this time, the army can't complete the assembly and cross-island battle, we still have to think of our own way." ”
"What did you just say?" Xu Yueming suddenly thought of one thing that Da Fei mentioned when he sent the news, "You said that Chen Bin and Chen Ting drove to the danger zone?" Are they going to lure the corpses back? ”
"Yes," Da Fei nodded.
"They ......," Xu Yueming just wanted to say, "they are too reckless", but when the words came to his lips, it suddenly occurred to him that this was a good idea, but the people involved in the operation were likely to face a situation of death and death.
