Chapter 018: The Threat Retreats
"All on alert, ready to fire!"
Ding You also sensed the situation for the first time, if the armed personnel below knew that someone was in ambush, it is estimated that they would think that they had fallen into the ambush circle, and when the time came, there would be a desperate fight, and the pressure would be very great.
Don't be afraid of anything else, just worry about the 30mm machine gun on the roof of the three light transporters, that guy has a lot of firepower, but he can't stand it.
The radiation mutant is really brainy, and he didn't take advantage of it just now, but at this time, he heard voices coming from the buildings on both sides, and he didn't continue to stalemate while worrying, and he escaped in an instant and disappeared into the dark night.
The three cars left on the road also obviously hesitated, stopped moving, and did not make a sound.
The members of several squads on Ding You's side have already pointed their guns at the car, although the firepower is a little worse, but there are external grenades, so they will not be frightened.
If Ding You hadn't been observant and unwilling to take the initiative to fire easily, it is estimated that several patrol members would have been unable to bear it.
"Boss, do you want to fight?" Zhao Gang was eager to try, and in his eyes, it was estimated that the people in those cars were definitely not good people. Think about it, if you come to the base to communicate, there is no need to take advantage of the dark lights when night falls.
"Look again." Ding You grabbed the night vision device and looked nervously at the vehicle on the road downstairs, obviously, the people in the car were also looking for Ding You and them.
It's not that Ding You doesn't want to fight or dare to fight, it's just that the first battle in this last world can't be fought so confused. There is already a gap between the strength and weapon quality of the two sides, and in Ding You's heart, he actually wants to avoid friction as much as possible and scare them away.
As long as you can buy yourself time to buffer and increase the construction of bases and weapons and equipment, I believe that some forces that are secretly snooping will always be afraid. When one day Deep Blue Star becomes an impregnable wall, no one will be afraid at that time.
Perhaps it was the silence on Ding You's side that made the people on the three transport trucks on the road fearful, or maybe they found a potential ambush in three directions. I feel that a hard attack is not good, and I still have to think about it in the long run.
The sound of the vehicle's motor roared again, and this time it didn't even turn on the headlights, and it turned around and left in the dark.
It wasn't until the vehicle was far away that Ding You breathed a sigh of relief, but although the crisis was temporarily lifted, it made Ding You uncomfortable tonight. I thought that I was reselling and buying food to run the base in the last days, but I didn't expect that the surrounding of the original base was full of crises.
If you hadn't made up your mind to come over and check on the garbage heap, maybe the armored vehicles would have arrived at the city when we celebrated in the base tonight.
No, the current defense range is too small, it seems too passive, it seems that it is necessary to place a guard post at a slight point of the base, so that you can know the movement outside in advance, so as not to make the base too late to prepare when there is a danger approaching.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, but Ding You still asked Zhao Gang and Cheng Hai to arrange people to be on duty at this traffic crossing, and the methods of those unfamiliar armed forces to deal with radiation mutants just now were very useful, Ding You thought of the last time he traded with Pan Wu, and he also obtained 10 millimeter-wave ray guns, so he decided to equip each of the remaining teams with 2 when he went back.
Regarding Ding You's decision, Cheng Hai and Zhao Gang did not object at all, after all, tonight's events were really dangerous. Not only did I see the mutants, but also the strange weapons of unknown origin, if I didn't take good vigilance, the little scale that the dark blue star just had would be destroyed immediately.
Although everyone still carries guns and guards in the last days, the life of this coming month is simply heavenly. No one wanted to let this beautiful day go away, so Zhao Gang hurriedly arranged it, leaving two three-person teams, and the rest hurried back to the base to get equipment.
After all, it is very dangerous to be stationed here, and on the other hand, the environmental conditions are also very bad, and it is very difficult to survive this cold night without getting some sleeping bags and winter clothes and food.
With Cheng Hai and Zhao Gang and two other patrol members, they trotted all the way and returned to the base at the fastest speed. Chen Nuo and the others were eating a dinner party with no taste, and when they saw Ding You and them coming back, they found that there were more than half of the people, and they thought something was wrong.
However, Ding You's explanation finally made everyone's hanging hearts relax a little, and Zhao Gang went to run the guard post, which was nothing more than to receive some cold-proof materials and a few millimeter-wave ray guns.
Ding You didn't plan to go over again, but just told the team members on duty to keep up with the treatment and equipment. Once something is wrong at night, you must warn as soon as possible, and the Deep Blue Star Base will quickly send reinforcements.
It was originally a good celebration dinner, but when Ding You and them were busy, the other residents also saw the difference in the situation. Fortunately, Ding You didn't intend to let the nervousness spread to other people, and after briefly talking about what was found outside, let other residents eat with peace of mind.
After all, the Deep Blue Star Base has undergone early construction, although I dare not say that it must be impregnable, at least it will not be too disadvantaged in the face of a small number of zombies and mutants.
Don't underestimate the heavy machine guns on the wall, the lethality is terrifying.
Although Ding You said that the clouds were light and light, and he even raised a glass to have a few drinks with the big guys, some residents in the base, especially the male residents, were not in a good mood.
After all, a comfortable base had just been established, but it was found that there was a danger outside, although it was for Ding You's face, everyone raised their glasses in return. But basically they all consciously tasted it, and everyone made up their minds to be all soldiers tonight and be vigilant.
In fact, in order to prepare this meal, Ding You specially approved a few good dishes. For the first time, some drinks were even served. Unexpectedly, there were not many dishes on the table, but it was beyond the expectations of Ding You and Yao Songlin.
Chen Nuo blinked his eyes with an incredulous expression and asked, "You, this is... Isn't everyone hungry? ”
It's not wrong to say that I'm not hungry, after all, the food supply in the base is stable during this time, and I have spent the early days of eating with an open stomach, and I am worried that I will not have a meal. Seeing that the food supply has been stable, the residents of the base have gradually adapted to the new life.
Although I like the food, I am not extreme, and I will not desperately want to dominate it.
Because they already know that as long as they live in the base in peace, do some work within their ability, and eat is no longer important. Even the supply of antiviral serum and radiation protection vaccine at regular intervals is absolutely reassuring.
But what's even better is that through the performance of the residents of the base, Ding You can feel that they are all in love with this new home from the bottom of their hearts, even if it is because of stability, at least they already have a sense of belonging. Therefore, it is really rare to hear that there are external forces threatening the homeland, and they spontaneously have the idea of maintenance.
"You've been doing a good job all this time!" Ding You gave Chen Nuo and Yao Songlin a happy smile, turned around and went into the room to make a call, leaving the two of them who felt inexplicable in confusion.
The three armored transports seemed to be the standard format of the Ninth District, and although it was uncertain whether there would be other survivor strongholds or forces, Ding You still felt that he should contact Pan Wu, at least he could feel whether it would be Pan Wu's idea during the call.
As a result, Pan Wu's first reaction after hearing Ding You's BM bracelet radio contact was joy, and he said how popular the food he got was among the dignitaries and nobles in the ninth district. However, when I heard Ding You say that he had found an armored transport vehicle near the food transfer station, his tone of surprise did not look like it was pretending at all.
"Brother Ding, do you see clearly? Is it really our 9th arrondissement car? Pan Wu asked very seriously.
"Boss Pan, I look similar to the car you gave me last time, as for whether it's your ninth district, I'm not sure." Ding You can't say it to death, if it's not someone else's, wouldn't he have wronged the other party.
"Otherwise, I'll send someone here to investigate this matter, and it's hard to say that someone sees that I suddenly have so many good things and is starved at. In addition, next time we trade, how about you take more weapons back? Or, the safety of your transit station, I Pan Wu is responsible for you? ”
Pan Wu means that he wants to come over to help the Deep Blue Star Base again. Ding You didn't want him to come, although the two were now in a cooperative relationship, but if he saw a warehouse of materials, what if he really had evil thoughts at that time.
Besides, Ding You still plans to develop and grow on his own with his head stuffed, how can he let others be responsible for safety. So he declined Pan Wu's kindness, but made up his mind to come back with more weapons and equipment next time, and if he could, the security force should also be strengthened.
In these last days, weapons alone are useless, and manpower is also the key to fighting zombies, mutants or other forces. No one can do it, counting on the natural reproduction of this little person in the base now, and I don't know the Year of the Monkey when it grows!
It's just that he has been recruiting some slaves, will it arouse Pan Wu's vigilance? After all, I just used the excuse of having a food transfer station, and if I kept recruiting people, it would be difficult to guarantee that others would not suspect it.
Or next time, you can directly go and communicate with the skinny horse monkey trafficker in District 9, so that he can have "new goods" and not ship them to District 9, and bring them directly to the Deep Blue Star Base?
Ding You estimated that this trick would work, that kid was purely a guy who recognized money and didn't recognize people, as long as the price was right, he would definitely deliver it to his door.
There aren't many lights on in the base, after all, there may be some lurking threats outside. The guard posts at the four corners of the high wall have also been equipped with millimeter wave ray guns, with high-voltage pulse protection nets, as long as the number of mutants is not too large, they should not be able to enter.
Inside the base, life has slowly become in line with the pre-apocalyptic world. It's just that for the time being, every family can't open their own fire warehouse, cook and eat, and most of the time, it's still quite like the previous collective life.
There is a large cafeteria, a public restroom for men and women, and some simple equipment and entertainment facilities. Except for the children who are willing to play, the adults are basically busy working during the day and have no extra energy to go to the so-called fitness.
After all, in this last days, their figure is standard enough.
