Section 284: Investigation
Zheng Xiaoyue turned her head from the front, glanced at him, and then her eyes fell on Liu Tianming, who was driving: "Do you want to contact the Northwest Base and ask Instructor Tian what is going on?" β
If a person dies, he is still eaten, of course, he has to figure things out.
"No need."
Liu Tianming held the steering wheel in his hand and shook his head: "I haven't received a contact signal, if I take the initiative to ask, I may cause trouble." We are now not short of food, and we have plenty of weapons and ammunition. Wait a minute, and we'll talk about it later. β
Zheng Xiaoyue understood what Liu Tianming meant: "Do you want to go to Xichang first and get what Dean Song left behind?" β
Liu Tianming showed a faint smile on his face: "Since he can leave biological nutrients in Panzhihua, there must be something similar in Xichang." I'm now at the third level of juvenile stage, with three Caller's bio nutrients, and six bio points. If what Song Jiahao left in Xichang just met my evolutionary conditions, we would have a much greater grasp of the danger than we do now. β
β¦β¦
The main road into the city is still blocked by the wreckage of countless vehicles. Against the backdrop of a grey winter sky, the metal remains are covered in dust and remain colliding and twisting on the road. Except for the garbage and fallen leaves flying everywhere in the cold wind, the whole city was dead silent.
The convoy stopped in front of a lonely building.
With their previous encounters and experiences, the team now chooses a similar location as a temporary location. It is impossible to drive into the city at all, and can only live in the sparsely populated suburbs. Life may not be convenient, but it is much safer than in other places.
Liu Tianming jumped out of the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle, brandished his bone blade, and split the neck of an oncoming living corpse with agile movements. The blade of the knife is reversed, inserted into the target's side skull, and flipped it vigorously, revealing the pink brain tissue of the living corpse in a crisp "click" sound.
This whole set of movements Liu Tianming is already very proficient.
He bent down, picked out the red spots with the tip of his knife, stood up, and gave orders to Qi Yuanchang and the others who ran from behind.
"The old rule, clean up this area first. See if there is a clean water source nearby. Find a hidden location to hide the truck from others. β
Qi Yuanchang nodded: "What, you're going to enter the city now?" β
Liu Tianming sorted out the weapons and equipment on his body, and replied without raising his head: "My speed is faster than yours." I'll go first, and if it goes well, maybe I'll be able to get it alone. Even if I'm in danger, I can get out of the way. β
Zheng Xiaoyue listened and laughed beside her: "You're right, this is your specialty." β
β¦β¦
Liu Tianming ran on the empty and deserted streets.
His speed is amazing. It is like a cheetah that moves long distances at a sprint speed, quickly navigating between various obstacles. Liu Tianming raised his foot and stepped on the abandoned car hatch, jumped high, and the cold wind blowing in front of him was cold and hard, and he was hit open on the spot by the fearless him, turning into countless air currents that were forcibly reversed.
Song Jiahao left an electronic memory card in the safe deposit box of the Jintong Community Health Center in Panzhihua. The goal of Liu Tianming's trip is marked on it.
It's still the old way: Liu Tianming searched around the city and found a map of the city from a Xinhua bookstore. Following the route and area above, he locked on somewhere to the southeast of the city.
It was not a very spacious street. Judging by the variety and number of shops around, it should be very lively in peacetime. Food stores, clothing stores, mini-supermarkets, Internet cafes, cafes, cake shops, optical shops...... Within a distance of 100 meters, Liu Tianming saw all kinds of shops and hundreds of cars parked on both sides of the road. The streets here are not as congested as on the highways outside the city, but the streets are littered with garbage, human bones, and corpses beyond recognition.
Directly in front of the intersection stands a five-story building. It occupies a large area and looks like a multi-purpose shopping mall with many shops. Between countless huge billboards and neon signs, Liu Tianming found the two golden characters "Mingchang".
In his last words, Song Jiahao told Liu Tianming that the things were placed at the health service station next door to the "Mingchang" stock exchange. That place has always been a cooperative unit of the 29th People's Hospital.
Standing at the intersection, Liu Tianming was completely shocked by the scene he saw.
The square was crowded with tens of thousands of living corpses.
At the time of the virus outbreak, it was located in a densely populated downtown area. As far as Liu Tianming could see, there were several wreckage buses. Densely packed with living corpses wandered the sidewalks and roads, apparently using this place as a lair. These mutated creatures jumped on the roof of the car and stomped their feet like sports-loving square dancing old women, making a hollow and dull "thump" sound. The corpses were not interested in such movements. They sit or stand, jumping in and out between the windows on the second floor of the building and the ground. The mall gate was crooked, and through the gap directly above, it was possible to see that there were more numerous and denser corpses inside.
If you want to pass through the square in the midst of such a large number of corpses, even with Liu Tianming's "sound barrier" speed, you can't do it at all.
What is it about this that attracts them?
Outside?
Or is it inside?
Liu Tianming held his breath, turned sideways, tried to avoid the attention of the corpses, hid behind a tattered car, frowned, and observed silently.
He found that the top of the building had an indescribable attraction for him.
It is an infector.
The other party's detection ability is obviously not as strong as Liu Tianming's. Maybe it's because of the evolution level, or the speed that surpasses ordinary people, Liu Tianming's senses are very keen. He clearly knew that the other party was hiding on the top of the building, even in the room built by the wall behind the two big characters "Mingchang".
β¦β¦
Fleeing is also a life experience.
Getting rich is a kind of luck.
The first guy to engage in real estate development made money, and there are countless followers who want to replicate this success. Regardless of whether they have money or not, people who have the ability to do this business are all thinking about engaging in land, and they are desperately advertising, clamoring that chaotic areas such as landmarks in the prosperous area of a certain new city business district are emerging. All you have to do is hand over the money in your pocket, and then you can enjoy everything easily.
Ordinary people are not fools, they don't live in the bustling area of the city center, and they have to spend a lot of money to buy the so-called "new house" in the suburbs that only exists on the drawings and has not even laid a good foundation.
The Champs-ΓlysΓ©es is not an isolated case. Similar examples can be found in many places.
The team site chose a new development on the outskirts of the city. It wasn't a deliberate pick, but there was just such a place near where the convoy was parked.
The three solitary slab buildings form a single "product", and the light blue fence encloses the entire area. The construction site was littered with building materials, and the unattended tarpaulins of the sand and ash piles were lifted, revealing signs of rainwater-soaked solidification.
Zheng Xiaoyue has been standing at the intersection.
Tight leather pants match her figure, and her long black hair is tied into a bun. A strand of dark black hair falls from the forehead, swaying with the movements of the body on the delicate surface of the skin. There is a bit of feminine charm, but also with a stunning sense of beauty, as well as the coldness that people are not close to.
Seeing Liu Tianming's figure appear from a distance, a smile appeared on Zheng Xiaoyue's expressionless face. She slung her assault rifle over her shoulder, stepped out of her slender legs wrapped in high leather boots, and ran in the direction of the man she loved.
"Why are you here?"
"Captain Qi, they found a better place to live nearby. I'm afraid you won't find it, so I'll wait for you. β
Looking at the sexy and gorgeous Zheng Xiaoyue, Liu Tianming felt that this set of clothes "picked up" from the mall was simply customized for slender and slender women like her. I don't know why, Zheng Xiaoyue's figure is much better than in the past, there is basically no fat on her abdomen, and the lines between her waist and hips are smooth. Especially the height, when the two people first met, it increased by several centimeters.
Maybe it's because she's still developing, that's why she's changed!
Looking at the backpack behind Liu Tianming, Zheng Xiaoyue was a little worried: "Have you got everything?" Did Dean Song leave you with any new puzzles? β
Liu Tianming put away the smile that had just bloomed on his face, thought about it for a moment, and said seriously: "It's not that simple. The situation in Xichang is more complicated than we originally estimated. There were so many living corpses in that place that I couldn't get in alone. β
Zheng Xiaoyue was a little surprised: "Then what should I do?" β
Liu Tianming raised his head and looked towards the empty and uninhabited city in the distance: "Let's go back first!" At dinner in the evening, everyone discussed it together. β
β¦β¦
The Yellow River made an appointment with Liao Qiu, and the two of them got a dusty "Fiat" sedan on the street, and it was wandering around the places that could be passed in the surrounding area. They failed to find the liquefied gas station, but instead brought back a dozen wooden tables and chairs that had been smashed to pieces.
People have become accustomed to using the rooms on the first floor as a cafeteria. Bricks and stones are made into earthen stoves, and hot rice is cooked on a blazing fire lit by pieces of wood. It was a few large barreled steel pots, and Li Jiexin was good at calculating and knew very well the amount of rice and grain consumed daily. Dinner is important, and cooked rice is not only enough for the meal, but also set aside a portion to make rice balls for team members who are out the next day to take with them.
Qi Yuanchang was cutting a piece of bacon on the cutting board. It was loot found in the kitchen of a nearby family. There are two living corpses in the room, trapped inside by a locked security door. The virus presumably infected them through airborne transmission. There is also half a bag of rice in the room, and the bacon hangs on a high place and is not contaminated, which is very clean. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
