Chapter 116 - The First Town

Two two-car articulated all-terrain armored vehicles slowly drove out of the gate of the base, and the officers and soldiers who passed by along the way saluted them one by one, because it was not only their life-saving benefactor but also their most trusted comrades in the army, although they did not wear military uniforms or military ranks, but they were as united as soldiers, equally not afraid of death, and equally disciplined.

Zhang Hongda, who was driving the car, asked, "Brother Yuan, where are we going to go first?" ”

Zhou Zhiyuan, who was in the back seat, replied: "Go to the northeast first, there is a town near the lake in the northeast of the base, start from that one."

Liu Jianyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the second car, asked, "Why did you start from that side first?" The terrain there is not as well defended as the west bank of the lake, especially in the southeast and northwest of the town, where there are no rivers or mountains, so if you encounter a large-scale operation of living corpses, you can only flee for your life."

Zhou Zhiyuan replied with a smile: "In fact, according to the location of the base, the lake must be included in the scope of defense, otherwise Lao Zeng would not have taken the lead in sending a company of artillery to the lighthouse on the Huxin Peninsula to station, you must know that it is 6 latest all-terrain armored truck self-propelled guns, and Wujianghu Lake has already occupied a large area of the base's defensive circle, if the survivors' gathering place is arranged too far away from the base, not only will the military's manpower be very tight, but the survivors will definitely not want to be too far away from the military."

Chen Guohao, who looked at the tablet, said: "There are 6 towns around the lake, and the closest one to the base is the Hudong town that we are going to go to now, and that town should also be the most developed one in the nearby residential area, and most of the communities in the town are composed of elevator buildings on the 20th floor, which can accommodate the largest population, and Hudong Town is the best choice for the military in the long run."

Xie Dongcheng, who also looked at the map, said: "The development of the nearby towns is really good, there are first-class hospitals in the six surrounding towns, and the other place is a health center, for the safety of the base, the military will definitely capture this residence within a radius of dozens of kilometers, right?" Although it is only a first-class hospital, it also has some laboratory and examination equipment, whether it is the establishment of scientific research or medical units, it is a necessary thing! ”

Zhang Hongda said with a smile: "Hey, I think Lao Zeng will definitely ask us to help investigate the situation in those towns if he knows about it, if we can solve the living corpses in it together, I think we can simply solve the matter at one time, anyway, it is a matter of scratching around, and now there are all kinds of big guys to support, maybe there are survivors in it!" ”

At this time, Fang Xuan's voice came from the earphones, and she asked: "Today we came out again to carry out a reconnaissance mission in the danger zone, I want to know why the military people are going to do it again, will it be to be the nurse of the survivors to help them move?" ”

Zhou Zhiyuan replied with a wry smile: "You think too much about this!" This is a large town on the periphery of the lake that we are exploring, and the military is cleaning up various villages and tourist areas along the shore of the lake, but the largest three villages and towns are estimated to not have many living corpses left after we clear them, but I think Lao Zeng should just train his soldiers."

Xu Weien smiled coquettishly: "Don't worry, our old wolf is not the master who will take advantage of people in vain, I believe he will not let us suffer, besides, Major General Zeng didn't say it in front of all the officers, we are only responsible for opening the way, reconnaissance, and support, and the next main attack is in charge of the military."

Fang Xuan said: "Okay, just look at their performance when they stabilize here, if you still make the old lady feel that she is a tool to be used, I will not strike, the captain, don't blame me for not explaining it in advance."

In the short time of everyone's conversation, there were only 1 or 2 kilometers left to reach the first mission target, Hedong Town, and it didn't take long for two all-terrain armored vehicles to stop on a hill about 800 meters away from the town, and everyone got out of the car one after another to listen to Zhou Zhiyuan's task assignment, and also waited for the arrival of wolves and snow leopards by the way.

As soon as Chen Guohao got out of the car, he released two commercial search and rescue drones equipped with thermal imagers at the same time, and after these two drones circled the buildings in the town, Zhou Zhiyuan compared the images they took back with those taken by the military drones, and after thinking about it, he made a decision in his heart.

Zhou Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said: "The viewing distance and firing range of the remote control weapon station are about 1200 meters to 1500 meters, and the 60 mm mortar is about 3000 meters to 3200 meters, which is used by us to protect the firepower and attract living corpses in case of emergencies. But you also have to be careful when you go upstairs."

Then he turned his head to the others: "There are no outsiders in the residential areas in this area, only aborigines, so there are more than 20,000 living corpses in this town, and it is not a joke if they are dumplings, so we will go in to find out if there are any survivors hiding in places that cannot be detected by the instrument, since the official needs people and things with medical prescriptions, we will go straight to the first-class hospital to see later, Guohao, you continue to use drones to observe the movement of the battlefield, and the others will each take 2 wolves to disperse!" ”

After Zhou Zhiyuan finished assigning the task, Zhang Hongda set up the new 60mm mortar for special operations that could only be operated by three people, and then a high-explosive incendiary bomb "bang" flew to a construction site in the northeast of Hudong Town that looked like it was digging the foundation, and a loud "boom" with a burst of gray smoke rose, and the living corpses in the town began to hear it, and then most of them slowly walked towards the direction of the construction site, and after 3 minutes, Zhang Hongda adjusted a little and then released a high-explosive projectile to the construction site again.

Although the sound of the explosion attracted many living corpses to move in that direction, it can be seen through the screen of the search and rescue drone that there are still many hot spots staying inside the building, so although everyone is running quickly in the direction of the town, they are maintaining a high degree of concentration and vigilance in each other's mental and physical states.

The corners of everyone's eyes would pay attention to the windows or balconies of the surrounding houses for the shadows of crawling corpses, and also pay attention to the appearance of whistling corpses around them, until Lin Liangxue and Xue Blade killed all the way to the top of the building, and the other people began to report the location of the building they were in, the situation in front of them, and the changes that had occurred after the giant wolf sniffed the smell in the air.
