Chapter 149 Unexpected
"Haha, I really robbed the regular army," Ma Xiu drove the stolen truck, his face was red with excitement, "Our security guards can actually win against the regular army." ”
"Hey, man, I knocked out at least two of my bullets before leaving," Ian was also very excited, his hands flapping the steering wheel from time to time, as if to vent the pleasure in his body.
"It's a pity I didn't see a woman, I guess it's because I didn't wear sunglasses," Bob looked a little depressed, sitting in the passenger seat staring blankly out the window at the night.
The truck driven by Derek fell last, sitting in the cab, he stared at the road in front of the car without saying a word, his eyes fell on the rear of the car in front, and there was some unwillingness in his eyes.
This operation was not fully successful, and Derek, as the initiator of the operation, knew very well in his heart that they would never encounter such a good opportunity in the future.
"It's a pity," Derek shook his head, thinking with some regret, "after all, they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the regular army, and those soldiers not only withstood the frontal assault of the zombies on the right boardwalk, but also the holes in the defense on the left side of the plank road didn't seem to cause them a lot of trouble." ”
The use of zombies as a means of raiding is the core of this sneak attack plan, and the raid through two plank soldiers in two ways is the essence of the core. Director Fat Man knew the topography of the observatory well, and he expected that the scientists, who were the key objects of protection, would definitely be placed in the safest location on the second floor of the observatory. The two zombies raided from the left and right plank roads respectively, the right side contained the watchtower defenders, and the left side smashed the heart part. Under Derek's estimation, the defenders who are trapped at home and abroad should not be able to resist for long, and the final result is definitely for him to reap the benefits.
It's a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is a little slimmer, and the three truckloads full of supplies that he grabbed did not make Derek's mood happy. On the way back to the tourists, Derek began to figure out how to capture the group of scientists who were protected by the army.
"Head, why don't you speak?" After the three people in the other two trucks were hilarious for a while, Ian suddenly noticed that Derek's voice didn't seem to come from the intercom just now, "Are you asleep?" ”
"Derek, don't sleep while driving, don't drive when you sleep," Matthew cared about his cousin, and the result of this trip was very rewarding in his opinion, and the key to success was Derek's perfect plan, "Drive safely to go home." ”
"I'm sober," said Derek, who was not in the mood for small talk, and the noise of his companions along the way was a little loud to his ears.
"It's a pity that we haven't caught a single scientist," Derek said quietly, exhaling with a long breath, "and we won't be able to maximize our gains without catching them." ”
"There should be quite a few of them left, and it won't be easy to arrest people later," Derek squeezed the walkie-talkie tightly in his hand, as if it were his last hope, how he hoped that he could do it just now. Unfortunately, he had too little contact with the regular troops before, and when assessing the strength of the opponent before this operation, he used the combat effectiveness of his own security guards as a reference, and then added some percentage to this reference value.
However, Jason's combat effectiveness was still far beyond Derek's estimates, and some other factors, such as the cowboys' participation in the war, and so on, made the outcome of the operation deviate from Derek's original expectations.
"Derek, I'll leave that to tomorrow," Matthew said to his cousin, "and now I just want to go back and see our loot." ”
"That's right," Ian chimed in, "I can't wait to change into those GIs' gear, camouflage uniforms, man, it's exciting to think about." ”
"DO YOU THINK YOUR SECURITY GUARD IS TOO LOW?" Derek asked.
"That's not what I meant," Ian still basks in joy, "It's always been a dream of mine to fight in a foreign land in a camouflage uniform and a custom M-4 rifle." ”
"The closest country to us is the Guroba," Derek remembers the family who fled to the visitor center on a yacht some time ago, from Havana, the capital of Guroba, "and it seems that you should really leave that Guroba family behind and let them take you to their country to experience your dreams." ”
"It's a pity that their bodies are all in the water under the docks, and they must have been in the belly of the crocodile," Ian said in Derek's words, "This family is as stubborn as their country, and to be honest, as a neighbor, Guroba has always been on the opposite side of us, and I heard that during the Cold War, they were still fighting with Sue. ”
"Interesting country," Bob muttered quietly.
"This is politics, the most interesting thing in the world," said Derek, whose voice was flat, and his words revealed what was in his heart, but unfortunately no one among his companions could understand it.
The truck came to the road near Changhu Village, which was not far from the tourists, and Ma Xiu, who was sitting in the front of the truck, was humming leisurely, when suddenly he saw two lights on the road in the distance ahead.
"Whose car is that?" Matthew leaned his head towards the windshield in front of him, trying to get a closer look.
"What, Matthew?" The voice over the intercom alerted Derek.
"There seems to be a car coming across the street," said Matthew, "and we'll drive over and see who it is." ”
"What did you say, the car coming from the direction of the visitor center?" Derek's voice suddenly rose up.
While everyone was hesitating, the truck in the opposite lane sped by, and in the moment of stumbling with Derek's convoy, Matthew and the others saw the familiar faces on the opposite side.
"Mr. Kevin, those at the visitor center!" Mason's voice trembled a little, and she looked in panic at the convoy of trucks passing by her.
"Oh my God, they're driving our convoy trucks!" Kevin's expression was also very flustered, and his mind became blank, "Lookout...... Did something happen? ”
"Step on the gas, Mr. Kevin," Mason urged, "let's get out of here, as far away from them as possible." ”
"Mr. Kevin, I saw the convoy of cars, and they were heading towards the visitor center," Sigoaney's voice came from the car, "why didn't they stop just now?" ”
"Sigourney, those are the people at the visitor center," Mason said, turning to the people in the carriage, "and they stole the convoy's trucks. ”
Mason's words startled Sigoney, and she suddenly felt a great force coming from her arm. Sigourney turned her head to see Jennifer clutching her arm.
Jennifer's face was a little pale, and her eyes were full of horror.
"Sit tight," Kevin said to the girl next to him, his right foot pressing the gas pedal all the way down, his eyes staring straight ahead at the road in the distance, his body stimulated by fear, and the adrenaline kicking in. At this time, Kevin's mental concentration was highly concentrated, and his physical state had almost reached the peak of ordinary times.
The truck jerked up to speed, and both Mason and the two men in the back of the car leaned back. The body began to shake violently, and there was a roar in the silence of the night.
"Derek," Matthew shouted over the walkie-talkie, "my chick has run!" ”
"Let's get them back," Matthew said in his anxious voice as he looked into the rearview mirror as the truck moved away, ready to turn around and wait for Derek's order.
"Can't chase, let's hurry back to the visitor center," Derek's words made the other three people stunned.
"Don't chase? Why not chase! Matthew asked, "My woman has run away!" ”
"Idiot!" Derek scolded.
……
"Sigourney, are they chasing you?" Mason asked towards the back of the car.
"It doesn't seem to have caught up," Sigoarney looked out into the night behind him, and the three trucks were long gone.
"It's good I didn't catch up," Sigourne breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness!" Jennifer whispered, "Hopefully there are no accidents at the lookout." ”
"What are we going to do without supplies?" Mason's hand tightened the corners of her coat, and she looked very depressed.
"I'll leave that to Jason," Kevin said, "and our priority is to get to them as soon as possible." ”
"Something happened at the lookout, I wonder if Jason and his men are still there waiting for us." Kevin voiced his concerns.
"As long as they're alive, we'll be able to find them," Sigourne reassured, "There's only one road in the Everglades, and Jason and they'll only be in the area between the lookout and the visitor center." ”
"Your judgment has a point, Sigourn," Kevin nodded, "I hope nothing happens to them, Major." ”
Kevin's car drove past a pond called Palotis, and the roar of the truck startled some of the sleeping waterfowl in the bushes, and they flew up and fled towards the pond. A turtle resting by the pond dives to the bottom with its head down. It didn't take long for the animals in the night to fall silent again after a brief moment of panic.
"Look, there's a light up ahead," Mason exclaimed, pointing to the bright spot ahead.
"Is it the major?" Sigourney asked nervously when she heard Mason's voice.
"I don't know, but it's very likely that they're there," Kevin stared at the light in the distance, hoping to meet the big army here, "not just one car, there are four!" ”
"It should be the Major," Mason called excitedly, "in the Everglades, who else but the Major can organize a convoy of this size at this time." ”
