Chapter 097: Entering the City
1 field communications command vehicle, 2 armored off-road reconnaissance vehicles, 2 multi-purpose wheeled armored infantry fighting vehicles, 2 short-range light anti-aircraft missile vehicles, 2 light tanks, 8 transport trucks and 1 mechanical maintenance vehicle.
Considering that Ding You needs a place to rest, although the leather sofa in the combat conference room in the field communication command vehicle is good, he can only sit and not lie down.
Chen Nuo insisted that Ding You bring the RVs that had been confiscated from Pan Wu's secret base. As a result, there were 2 more RVs and 1 energy support vehicle in the departure convoy.
If Ding You didn't feel that it was really a bit nondescript, Chen Nuo would also plan to let him bring the high-end SUV with bright paint.
But despite this, a huge armed convoy of 20 vehicles was born. With the exception of a few, most of the vehicles are equipped with miniature atomic drive systems, so refueling is not a big problem.
Bidding farewell to the warm dark blue star base, carrying the hot expectations of the residents, Ding You also waved goodbye to Chen Nuo, whose eyes were red, and led the team towards the urban area in the northwest direction.
On the road near the Deep Blue Star base, the road conditions are not bad. After all, it is located in the suburbs and is sparsely populated. And the closer you get to the city, the more difficult the road becomes.
After so many years, there are still a lot of vehicles lying there on the road. Due to the corrosion of rain and nuclear contamination, most of the vehicles are in tatters, and even the windows are in good condition.
Ding You directly used the two tanks as bulldozers, and as a pioneer, he directly removed the debris in front of the convoy. As a result, the convoy travels very slowly.
The connection with the main control center of the base can be maintained for the time being, but the closer you get to the city, the greater the interference, and sometimes you can't hear a word clearly.
In order to ensure his own safety as much as possible, the radar on the roof of the field communications command vehicle in which Ding You was riding has been turned on, and the active radars of the two air defense missile vehicles have also been turned on.
Despite the interference, it can still ensure that the periphery of twenty or thirty kilometers can be covered, and the heart is always more stable.
The city in the last days is not much different from the science fiction movies I watched in my previous life, and the high-rise buildings I saw from afar are the best proof of this.
The building that should have been tall and majestic is so hazy in this last days. Even if some sunlight persistently penetrates the radiation clouds, it can shine on the dusty exterior walls of buildings, but it does not reflect much light.
Depressing, lifeless......
There is not a trace of life in the buildings of the whole city, and it is completely a ghost town.
Why did the remnant government of mankind put the left-behind area and the laboratory in the urban area, Ding You looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't understand it in his heart.
I once tried to learn about the situation from Wang Luyi, the owner of the sunflower farm, and planned to inquire about how the high-tech planting and cultivation warehouse equipment was transported to the suburbs of Linjiang City, and why the location was chosen there.
But Wang Luyi couldn't answer, according to him, he was also selected by the relevant personnel when he was in the underground shelter a few years ago. Then the whole family was transported there and started working and living on the farm.
From this point of view, Ding You estimated that those advanced equipment were either purchased by the human government from the paratechnology joint company STCL, or those equipment originally belonged to the paratechnology joint company.
Ding You, who couldn't find a clue, simply didn't think about it, anyway, life in the last days is similar to opening a map in a game. Tidy up the open map first, and the unknown world will always give answers to all your questions as the map expands.
And what we need to do now is to solve the problem of crystal card shortage faced by the base first, which is related to life, but it is absolutely careless.
Ding You is a young man, in his previous life, he was a small supervisor of a supermarket, taking stock of business reports every day, and assisting the big leaders in the supermarket to arrange various tasks, but it is not too rich in social experience.
However, seeing the hideous face of the large city in front of him, with the intention of being careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, Ding You didn't dare to take the entire convoy to drill into it with his head stuffy.
More than 300 people may not be a big deal for other large survivor bases, but for Ding You, this is an important component of the armed forces that have been cultivated with great difficulty, and they cannot be easily damaged.
So, about half a kilometer outside the city, at the junction of the suburbs, I found a building that was originally a freight transfer station and set up camp on the spot.
The reason why this place is valued is because it was used as a railway freight yard before the end of the world, so there is a fence around it, and it is empty, it is supposed that all the goods were moved away during the outbreak of the virus.
All that remains is a low management office and a large crane erected over the empty site.
This is indeed a good place to grasp for the vehicles and personnel brought by Ding You.
There is a fence to block the safety, and there is a high running frame on the guard that can be used. The open space inside the walls can park all the vehicles, and even the tents for the night stay are set up.
The city is full of danger, and it's the afternoon again, so it's better to leave a stronghold outside the city than to let everyone take the risk. At that time, the small team will enter the reconnaissance first, and it will be convenient to support even if the danger is found.
Because he was in a hurry, he also ate some canned food on the way for lunch, and now that he had settled down, Ding You asked Sun Tianhao to tell the soldiers to cook.
After all, it's not an expedition, so I didn't bring a cooking class, and basically everyone's survival skills are good in the last days, so it's okay to make some simple food.
Take a few cauldrons from the truck, get some bricks and build a simple stove, go out and pick up some dead leaves, pour some fuel on them, and the fire will be very hot.
The water tanks on both motorhomes were all filled with water, and there were plenty of bottles of purified water. And the RV has its own water purification equipment, so you don't have to worry about drinking water.
What's more, there is a Ding You carrying a supermarket system next to the soldiers, and there is no need to think about living supplies or anything.
It should be said that during this period of high-intensity training, the quality of the personnel of the combat units of the Deep Blue Star Base has improved rapidly. There are many soldiers who came out of the regular army, not to mention that Ding You selected people with relatively good overall quality in the entire army this time.
Seeing that the perimeter was guarded in place, the tents set up in the venue, and the cooking was cooking, Ding You felt that there was nothing wrong with him, so he planned to take a look at the city center before it got dark.
Anyway, I have the ability to get out of it instantly, and I can slip away quickly in the face of danger. But just as he was about to talk to Lin Feiyue and Sun Tianhao, he saw Luo Cheng, the guard who had been following him, talk.
"Boss, you don't want to act alone, do you? No, Captain Cheng and Miss Chen have taken care of me again and again, and they can't let you act alone! ”
Ding You was stunned for a moment, turned his head to stare at this guy, but he didn't expect Luo Cheng to look at himself with a serious face, and he also looked at him without blinking.
Well, it turned out that he had received the advice of Cheng Hai and Chen Nuo, no wonder this guy was very confident and not afraid of himself at all. Lin Feiyue, who was not far away, also heard Luo Cheng's words and hurriedly walked over.
"Boss, you can't go it alone, you have to take me with you if you want to go!" It seems that Cheng Hai and Zhao Gang not only told Luo Cheng, but even Lin Feiyue was taken care of.
Ding You couldn't get out of his body, so he had to smile helplessly.
"Boss, why don't you call that Yunfei over and ask, they used to wander around outside all day, maybe they even went into the city!"
Lin Feiyue was talking about the guy who quarreled with Xie Liya about the Survivor Alliance's logo map at the Wanderer Hotel years ago. After a physical examination and a period of investigation, he successfully joined the combat unit of the Deep Blue Star Base, and he also participated in this outing.
Since Lin Feiyue suggested it, Ding You also had the idea of giving it a try, so he asked him to find Hou Yunfei. Soon, Hou Yunfei followed Lin Feiyue over in a bump.
In fact, there is no need to think about it, Ding You was mentally prepared for the result of asking. Although Hou Yunfei followed his original little brother to wander around in the last days, it was unlikely that with their weapon configuration, they would not enter the city center in search of opportunities.
So Hou Yunfei shook his head helplessly, Ding You didn't feel disappointed at all.
Since there is no one to lead the way and the radar cannot play a role, Ding You has no choice but to rely on himself.
So he didn't delay any longer, ordered Lin Feiyue, and then took another 7 soldiers with Luo Cheng, and a group of 10 people drove an armored infantry fighting vehicle and drove directly along the road to the city.
The closer you get, the more desolate you feel.
The city, which was once a representative of the development of human civilization, can only stand alone at this time, I don't know if it is lamenting the fate of people.
From the scattered low-rise buildings to the tall skyscrapers in the suburbs, the separating city from the suburbs is just a canal that is not too wide. Fortunately, the bridge was not broken, and the armored infantry fighting vehicles were able to pass through without any problems.
The first thing that feels like a desolation and squalid mess is when you enter the real city limits. Ding You sat in the troop carrier, looking out through the bulletproof glass window.
I used to hate the crowded city streets in my previous life, but now I look at the empty streets with only garbage and vehicles scattered all over the ground, and that feeling is very uncomfortable.
After all, more than 80 years later, the decoration of the buildings and the structural layout of the blocks are very different, strictly speaking, the sense of science and technology is stronger.
But now these sense of technology have been completely destroyed, except for the little brilliance that can barely be seen, most of the wall billboards and neon signs have all become empty shells, and a layer of black garbage scattered on the ground is estimated to be part of their original glory.
Most of the buildings with glass curtain walls shattered, the black window holes like the bloody mouths of evil spirits, and the buildings around the street are basically not intact, all of them are dilapidated.
Some of the houses that look like shops also have almost no complete windows on the ground floor, and most of them have traces of being set on fire.
It seems that the outbreak of the zombie virus and the impact of nuclear war have caused great trauma to urban buildings.
"Report to the boss, after entering the city, our radio communication was interfered with, and the communication with the information command vehicle was affected!"
Just as Ding You was staring outside, the information correspondent on the infantry fighting vehicle made an urgent report.
