Chapter 12: The Strange Team
In the afternoon, they finally arrived at Liancheng, but when they saw the scene inside the city, it made people's hearts cold for most of the time.
Covered with desolation......
Many of the tall buildings were smoky, blackened by the fire, and bare like a burning rod standing upright.
There was a smell of stench in the air, and the streets were full of zombies and zombies, stumps and rotting bones, and broken glass from falling buildings.
Under the scorching sun, the asphalt pavement seems to be sunburned, and the small willow trees newly planted in the spring in the green belt beside the road are drooping their leaves, and without the watering of rain, they will definitely not survive this summer.
The chariot wandered around for a long time, but there was no shadow of half a living person in the big city.
Those who are lucky enough to survive will inevitably choose to flee by car, because they will soon be surrounded by a large number of zombies on foot. But even if you drive, most of them will be stuck in traffic and trapped alive in the car by zombies.
Shi Qingshan looked up at the position of the sun and said, "Zhang Gong, let's release the drone, the city is too big, it's a waste of time to find it like this!" ”
Zhang Gongdao: "But our drone does not have a camera, the probe is to assist the battlefield radar to detect moving objects, unless someone is driving a car to move, otherwise it can't distinguish between living people and zombies!" ”
Shi Qingshan thought for a while and asked: "The zombies are slow, as long as there is a target that moves faster, Thor's phased array radar should be able to compare, right?" Let's put the drone out to expand the detection distance, and find something abnormal before going over! ”
"That should be fine! You give the order to try! ”
Shi Qingshan nodded and shouted, "Thor!" ”
"On standby, Captain!" The tank responded immediately.
"Can you filter out nearby moving objects that are moving faster than average?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's start sifting!" He gave the order.
"Start screening the targets that move fast and confirm!"
Thousands of red dots appeared on the neutral screens, and the rear of the chariot was the most, and they were all zombies who were lured by the sound as they passed by just now. Each red dot was framed, and Thor began to track and analyze the speed of each red dot.
In less than two seconds, Thor made a voice: "Near the building five hundred meters to the right, it was found, anomalous targets, nineteen!" ”
Everyone was in good spirits, and Shi Qingshan hurriedly turned his head around the chariot and turned into a commercial street on the right.
The street, which was usually bustling and bustling, was lined with shops and large commercial centers, but now it is littered with garbage, with falling light boxes and empty empty shops, making it look desolate and cluttered.
The chariot crushed over the debris everywhere, making a loud "crackling" sound, and slowly approached its target like a terrifying steel monster.
A thermal imaging picture within 50 meters of the front appeared on the screen in the car, and I saw a few heads quietly poking out of the windows of buildings on both sides of the street from time to time to look at them, and the movements were definitely alive!
Thor's voice came again: "Armed men found!" Thirty percent of the threat! ”
Shi Qingshan turned around and saw that the car was followed by more than a dozen zombies, and he was afraid of causing trouble to the people hiding in front of him, so he slowly stopped the chariot.
He came to the rear hatch, stretched out the barrel of the gun from the spherical shooting hole, and pulled the trigger one after another with a "puff ......", and after a dozen muffled gunshots, all the zombies behind the car were shot in the head and fell to the ground and died.
The echo dissipated, and the surroundings fell silent again......
At this time, the people who were hiding did not even raise their heads, all their postures were lowered, and they were lying quietly on the ground.
Their unusual behavior made several people in the car very confused, according to common sense, the survivors should take the initiative to come out and greet their kind when they saw their kind, but now they are more reluctant to expose themselves.
"Are they bad guys who take advantage of the chaos? Or are you afraid that you will rob them of their supplies? ”
For what specific reason, Shi Qingshan didn't want to think about it, so he drove the chariot directly between the two buildings and turned on the searchlight.
Bright light shone in through the windows, enveloping the area where the men were lurking, and several people who were exposed to the light hurriedly and embarrassed crawled into the shadows.
"Listen, people inside, you have been discovered, we are passing by, and there is no malice! Please come out and talk to a representative! Shi Qingshan put down the loudspeaker and kept his eyes glued to the big screen.
After a while, there was movement on the right side, and a man in his thirties, with wide eyes, poked his head out from behind the wall and asked timidly, "You guys...... How many of you came? ”
Shi Qingshan picked up the loudspeaker and replied to him: "There are four of us, how many of you are there?" ”
The man did not answer, but turned back to talk to the man and asked, "Are you soldiers?" ”
Shi Qingshan said: "I'm a soldier, and the other three aren't!" ”
"Where do you come from...... Where are you going? The man asked again.
Shi Qingshan was a little unhappy, this person only asked and didn't say, obviously hostile!
At this time, the Thor face recognition system identified this person, and the general information displayed on the screen was: "Li Meng, 29 years old, habitual thief, currently serving a prison sentence." ”
"This big-eyed man turned out to be a thief! And he is still serving his sentence, so could he have escaped from prison? ”
Shi Qingshan didn't answer the big-eyed thief's question immediately, but said, "Don't be in a hurry to ask where we are from, first tell me where your military standard rifle came from!" ”
The big-eyed thief was startled, and seemed to be surprised that Shi Qingshan actually saw that they had guns, and they also knew that they were standard rifles. His eyes rolled and he said, "I...... We picked it up! ”
"Picked up? Tell me where you picked it up? Shi Qingshan became more and more suspicious that these people were not good people.
The big-eyed thief couldn't answer his question, and his Adam's apple shook for a moment, and he asked him rhetorically: "Who can prove that you are a soldier?" Say! You...... Where did this armored car come from? ”
Seeing that he didn't want to communicate with him, Shi Qingshan didn't have time to fight with him: "Hmph! Looks like you're not welcoming us! In that case, then I'll salute before I soldier! ”
The two machine guns on the infantry chariot suddenly turned, pointing at the two buildings where the people were hidden.
"I'll count three, two, one, immediately disarm and surrender, don't try to resist! I know there are nineteen of you, but it's useless to have a lot of people! A single cannonball will be all you playing! ”
Shi Qingshan was afraid that he would not be able to scare them, so he immediately said to Zhang Gong: "Change the detonation bomb!" ”
He was prepared to stun them with a detonation bomb if they ran away or dared to resist.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One"
"Wait......"
Another man stood up from the window, also a man in his thirties, with swollen eyes, a little thin, and a bald head.
With a rifle in one hand and a high hand in the other, he grinned and slowly walked out of the building.
"If you have something to say, it's good to say! Don't hurt your peace! ”
Shi Qingshan looked down at the screen, this person turned out to be a prisoner, named Hu Zhiqiang, thirty-five years old, a rapist!
"! I fell into the thief's den! ”
Shi Qingshan felt that this Hu Zhiqiang seemed to be a leader, so he asked him again: "Where did your guns come from?" ”
Hu Zhiqiang smiled again: "If you want to hear the truth, show sincerity, how about showing up?" ”
Shi Qingshan thought about it, and lifted the hatch cover, revealing half of his body.
"Now you can say it!"
Hu Zhiqiang stared at him for a moment with blazing eyes, laughed, put down his hand and said, "It's the gun that Captain Liu of the fire brigade gave us!" Truth be told, we don't know where he got it from! When he left, he left us some to protect the old and weak, the women and children! ”
"Captain Liu of the fire brigade? Where did he go? Hearing him talk about the fire brigade, Shi Qingshan relaxed his vigilance slightly, he felt that in the face of the catastrophe, it was possible for those who had made mistakes to be good.
"Captain Liu took more than a dozen of his men to the provincial capital Liaoyang to contact the survivors!"
"Oh......"
Shi Qingshan nodded, and asked again, "Are there many survivors who are with you?" Where do they live now? ”
Hu Zhiqiang said: "There are nearly 300 of us, men, women and children, all of whom live in the New World Plaza in the center of the city! ”
"So many people! Is there a person in charge of management? I want to check it out! Hearing that there were nearly three hundred of them, Shi Qingshan was a little pleased. What he had seen and heard in the past few days was shocking enough to describe, and for a time made him very pessimistic about the number of survivors.
Hu Zhiqiang looked at the black lane: "Of course it's no problem!" We welcome you to join us! Especially the military, our commander likes the military the most! ”
"Commander? All right! Call out your man, let's go! ”
"Can this car pull more than a dozen people?" Hu Zhiqiang stood on tiptoe, delusionally looking at the space of the chariot through the crack in the hatch.
Shi Qingshan said: "I can't sit inside, if I want to sit on the roof of the car!" ”
"Uh...... All right! Hu Zhiqiang beckoned to both sides, and five or six men in the prime of life with guns and a dozen or so men carrying large cardboard boxes walked out of the house one after another.
They climbed to the roof of the car on the tracks and bulldozers, and handed over the large cardboard boxes containing various supplies, and after all the people climbed into the car, there was no place for the roof of the car, and even two people sat on the barrel.
Shi Qingshan immediately regretted it.
