Chapter 043: Unknown Situation
The preparations are all done, but now it is not a normal social order, and the store is open without flower baskets and colorful balloon decorations. In these last days, I don't know how to start advertising if I want to.
Therefore, the newly opened food trading station is completely passive waiting for customers, and even Ding You has to wait at home for a passing customer to come in and patronize.
It's just a pity that the location of the small prison, the predecessor of the original food station, is relatively remote. Before the end of the world, it is estimated that opening a store will not attract too many customers, let alone this sparsely populated end times, it is very good not to attract wandering zombies.
Ding You stayed at the trading post for a full week, going down the mountain every morning to look at the store. But except for a few scattered zombies, not a single customer was seen.
The taste of waiting for a rabbit is not pleasant, especially the feeling that there is no rabbit at all, which really makes Ding You anxious. Although the radar station on Yan Liangcai's side has been monitoring the side of the ninth district without any abnormal movements, Ding You can't sit still and plans to take the initiative to attack by himself.
At the very least, I have to go to the surrounding villages to advertise and be a street vendor.
Comrade Shen Xinghuai, who was previously appointed as a member of the "Base Population Management Planning Committee," has already taken some people out to collect the population, but unfortunately, the effect is not obvious for the time being. Ding You thought that he also had to contribute and help him, after all, it was also for his own base.
On this day, Ding You waited stupidly for another morning, but still found nothing, and now he couldn't stand it at all, so he recruited Zhao Gang and arranged for him to order more than a dozen people, ready to load a car and go out to sell.
Out of experience, an off-road reconnaissance vehicle and a light armoured personnel carrier were arranged, loaded with some food and ready to go.
Just as the team was about to hit the road, news suddenly came from the main control center of the base, saying that the radar station had found something unusual in the ninth area, and a team set off and came in the direction of the base.
Ding You felt a sudden shock in his heart, could it be that Pan Wu couldn't help it, and really planned to attack the Deep Blue Star Base? But it's strange how you chose today.
If you can't go, there is an enemy attacking, so you can only stick to it at home, Ding You does not have a complete grasp of his own strength, and he does not dare to move blindly. Hurried to the main control center of the base, and found that there were already many people standing inside.
As the information hub of the entire Deep Blue Star Base, the charge center that Ren Xiaobai is responsible for is remarkable, and it is impossible to enter it at all if it is less than a certain level.
Although Ding You has always advocated equality for all, when it comes to security, this kind of hierarchy is still necessary in the army. Everyone in the base is registered with a BM bracelet feature code, and the corresponding authorization also allows the range of activities of a specific group of people.
Standing in the main control center at this time is nothing more than the captain of the patrol team and the guard team, and of course, Chen Nuo.
Seeing Ding You coming in a hurry, Chen Nuo pointed to the big screen in front of him and said, "You, look, a quarter of an hour ago, there was news from Professor Yan's side that there were armed men and vehicles assembled in the ninth district, and according to the radar wave feedback analysis, it was calculated that their target direction was southwest. ”
"Southwest, that's coming towards us?" As soon as Ding You heard this, he was almost sure of the purpose of those people in the ninth district.
It seems that Pan Wu is ready to do it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Nuo didn't speak, and Ren Xiaobai's girl hurriedly replied: "Boss, Sister Chen and I thought the same thing just now, but now, it seems to be different from what we originally thought." ”
"It's different, what's different?" Ding You was puzzled.
At this time, Chen Nuo, who had been staring at the big screen, replied: "You, look, we originally thought that their target was the Deep Blue Star Base, but you see, when the team marched to the old base, it stopped, and now it is surrounded by fans." ”
Ding You looked at the highlights on the display screen, and sure enough, he saw that the team stopped next to the original old base. Could it be that Pan Wu didn't find a large amount of supplies, and he was about to destroy the old base in anger after he didn't make a big gain?
If that's the case, that guy still has a flawed character, maybe after destroying the old base, the next target is the current new base.
Ding You was not worried that the base with electromagnetic shields and heavy walls would be easily attacked, but the newly opened food trading station at the bottom of the mountain was relatively weak.
was a little worried, so he hurriedly asked Ren Xiaobai to contact the patrol team on duty below to strengthen vigilance. At the same time, although they were not yet proficient, the few light armored vehicles and tank vehicles in the base were also directly deployed by Ding You.
What's the use of hiding in the mountains, it's better to send them to the plains where they can play a role, and they can also show their strength to the greatest extent.
Talking about symmetry of force with Pan Wu, this Ding You has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't dare to hope for it. But at least you have to show your attitude, that is, Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with.
In his previous life, although Ding You was a layman in the military, the backbone of a man is still there, and he can't sit still and be arrested!
The inhabitants of the entire base were mobilized and ready for the arrival of a big war. But Ding You was in the main control center, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the situation was strange.
What are those armed forces from the 9th District doing around the abandoned old base? It would have been done a long time ago to blow it up into a pile of rubble, but now it was surrounded and not fought, as if it was in a stalemate with something.
"Boss, could it be a mutant?" Cheng Hai frowned and didn't understand this number, so he had to guess.
Mutants?
This situation is not impossible, but at most, mutants are attracted by the previous food, if Pan Wu and they find mutants, they will definitely not bother with anything, and they will just bombard and destroy things.
In the last days, how can you negotiate with some mutants!
Isn't it a mutant, it's another force?
Ding You didn't dare to pat his chest and say that there were no dead ends in the monitoring of his radar station, although Professor Yan Lao had a high level, but his subordinates were still some novices operating the equipment. It's not impossible to miss something that the target didn't find out on a given night.
Besides, the sewer system in the last days is very developed, and it is not at all the same concept as the previous life in Ding You's impression. There are many sewers in all directions, and if the mutant walks through the sewers, then the radar will not be able to detect it, and it is normal.
In the same way, if someone else also moves through the sewers and hides in a building, the radar will not be able to detect it.
Could it really be other forces? Even the forces of the Ninth District don't know the details?
Ding You's first reaction was that those people would not be Shen Xinghuai and his team who went out to find the population. That guy shouldn't be so stupid, he went to a place only a few kilometers away from the ninth district to stay, besides, isn't the loss he suffered last time enough, so he won't lose his memory!
Through the inquiry of the encrypted channel, it was really not Shen Xinghuai, and at this time, Lao Shen was still looking for someone dozens of kilometers away.
Since it is not Shen Xinghuai, then there must be someone else, Ding You does not know their background, but he can make the armed forces sent by the Ninth District so cautious, it must be quite powerful.
I didn't expect that there could be other forces near the ninth district, this discovery is amazing. It seems that apart from the Ninth District, it is not that there is no room for movement, and it would be a good thing if there were other survivor bases that could contact and cooperate against the Ninth District.
But which survivor base will be the one that is facing the threat of Sector 9? Are they also near Linjiang City? Will it be in the other direction or downtown?
When he thought of the city center, Ding You felt that it was unlikely, after all, the population density there was large, and once the zombie virus broke out on a large scale, it would definitely be a hell on earth. Just look at the shelter below the base, 50,000 people turned into zombies, and the scene was so unbearable.
If it's a city with a population of one million, can you still imagine the scene?!
Ding You's thoughts were flying, and at the same time, a new situation was displayed on the screen that had been calm for a while.
Perhaps it was a brief stalemate that broke the patience of the armed forces in the 9th District, and they began to attack tentatively. Everyone present in the main control center was familiar with the environment of the old base, and now when they saw the stars on the screen and began to move, they knew that the attack in the ninth area had begun.
"Boss, it seems that the people in District 9 are jealous of the forces inside, or the people inside have what they want." Zhao Gang on the side also stared at the screen without blinking, and analyzed with Ding You by the way.
This is reasonable, and Ding You also thinks that this should be the case. If there are no scruples, then District 9 does not need to send people in at all, just fire outside.
Under the destruction of the bazooka, not to mention the original building, even if there was an armored tank inside that blew it up for him, why did he need to send troops to assault so hard.
The current situation is a bit like rescuing hostages.
Ding You gloated in his heart, and thought narrowly, could it be that Pan Wu's unlucky guy was kidnapped again, otherwise, he really couldn't think of what the people in the ninth district would be afraid of.
However, this is also a speculation after all, and the probability is not high. Because the two sides have exchanged fire, a spot of light appeared on the display screen that had not appeared before, and it is certain that the unknown force has begun to fight back.
Ding You doesn't understand why the radar will be so powerful in a few decades, and it can display such a trajectory map without satellites, if this is paired with satellites, it is simply the eye of the sky, what else can escape surveillance on this planet!
It's just that now is not the time to think about these things, because the 10 or so bright spots that appeared after that on the big screen are disappearing and dimming at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. What this means, Ding You and his group also know it.
He should have been killed in the firefight, and without vital signs, he would have no mobility. Under the detection of radar waves, it must be a dead thing that does not move.
Just when Ding You was feeling sorry for the unknown person, suddenly, the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly, and several bright spots actually tore a breakthrough in the encirclement of the ninth district, and then the bright spots quickly broke through in the southwest direction.
Oops I'm going, I'm really worried about what's coming!
Ding You looked at this posture, and those unknown people who escaped from the round-up of the ninth district came towards the Deep Blue Star Base!
