Chapter 431 An apple's bet
There's no way not to notice these people.
They walked on the empty streets, and they were the most obvious targets. And there are a lot of people, hundreds of them. A dense group, although the weapons are chaotic, there are quite a few firearms among them. Of course, their equipment is far less sophisticated than Liu Tianming's team. Most were pistols, and a fair share of homemade powder guns.
Almost all of them were men, but there were also a dozen women in between. But whether it is a man or a woman, they are all tall and strong, and the clothes on their bodies are of different styles. Those who did not carry guns, in particular, were mostly armed with homemade machetes or hammers made by other means.
Zheng Xiaoyue, who got the news early, stood in front of the entrance of the building, staring at these people who suddenly appeared with indifferent eyes.
More than ten meters away from the building, the crowd stopped.
Zheng Xiaoyue parted her slender legs and stood in front of the entrance of the unit door in a domineering posture. The mutant infected did not react so significantly to the temperature, the thin black stockings tightened the skin of the legs, and the short black leather jacket worn on the upper body was loose but highlighted her unique fierce charm.
"Stand there and don't move."
She held the assault rifle in both hands, the muzzle of the black hole pointed at these strangers, her high heels nimbly stepped on the ground, and her beautiful lips with pink lipstick opened slightly, making a cold and irresistible cold voice: "If anyone dares to take another step, I will shoot." ”
Behind her, dozens of followers were scurrying out of the building. The short-distance communicator is not equipped with everyone, and the height of the floor and the restrictions of the room make it different for everyone to receive the message. However, when the place was used as a temporary camp, fortifications had been piled up in front of the entrance with wooden boxes and various miscellaneous items. Just like the common sand barricades in the army, there will always be a few people on duty there 24 hours a day. The windows on the second and third floors facing this side were all open, and heavy machine guns of thick caliber peeked out of them.
Liao Qiu has already returned from the Northwest Base. The team currently has plenty of ammo to support a normal-intensity battle.
The kind of thing that a beautiful woman says threatening things is funny no matter how you look at it. Especially in this kind of chaos, when man-eating monsters are roaming everywhere.
The crowd on the opposite side suddenly became agitated, and a man with a long-handled machete walked out on the spot, and shouted at Zheng Xiaoyue in a voice that was so excited that he almost changed his tone: "This girl looks good, let's go and arrest her, and take turns ...... at night."
"Bang!"
The howling cold wind made the gunshots very small, and the shock effect on the eardrums was not so strong. However, the change in the scene seen by the eye is more convincing. The man's face bloomed with blood without warning, and he fell heavily on his back.
Zheng Xiaoyue kept shooting with both hands in her hands, and there was a wisp of smoke floating out of the muzzle. She used practical actions to tell these people that although beautiful appearance makes women look weak and deceitful, this law does not apply to everyone, let alone herself.
The wind speed is even higher. It whistled, scraped over the city, and rampaged through the streets and alleys, making strange noises like ghosts crying wolves.
With dozens of guns pointed at the head, anyone will make a smart choice.
No one dared to raise their voices anymore, and the filthy words that were used as provocations or incitement to the masses disappeared from everyone's minds.
A man who seemed to be the leader opened his lips and raised the gun in his hand in a gesture of friendship. He shouted at Zheng Xiaoyue: "Don't shoot, we have no malicious intent." I just wanted to talk to you guys. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward.
Zheng Xiaoyue looked at the man with a gloomy face, and let out a threatening low roar again: "I have already said, stand there and don't move." If you want to say anything, just stand over there, and you are not allowed to come. ”
"We've got to talk."
"I ...... We have no ill will. ”
"Where are you from?"
The man may be anxious, or he may want Zheng Xiaoyue to hear more clearly. Ignoring another warning from the other side, he kept his hands raised and continued to take two steps forward.
"Bang!"
Rough gunfire rang out again. It's closer, and it sounds much clearer than the last time the shot was fired. The bullet entered the man's mouth without hindrance, shattering his front teeth and piercing his skull with a ferocious impact.
There is no need for any commands anymore.
The crowd on the opposite side exploded like a swarm of uncontrolled bees, and everyone turned around as fast as they could, fleeing the way they came. They let out a chaotic shout and cry, and several people were pushed down in the confusion, and countless feet trampled over them. It may not necessarily result in death on the spot, but physical harm cannot be avoided.
After a few minutes, the crowded streets had become empty. Nothing was left but two dead bodies and a few loose shoes.
Luo Kuan walked out of the building, stood next to Zheng Xiaoyue, looked at the two rapidly cooling corpses on the ground, and his expression was a little helpless: "Even if you want to kill someone, you should at least listen to what they say." ”
Zheng Xiaoyue put the assault rifle on her shoulder and responded coldly: "I gave him a chance." I've made it very clear: just stand there and he's safe. ”
Luo Kuan's slender face showed a slightly painful expression: "You caused me to lose an apple." ”
Many men like to gamble, and Luo Kuan and Cao Xinneng are no exception. When the crowd outside just came from the road, Luo Kuan and Cao Xinneng made a bet in the room facing the street on the second floor. Zheng Xiaoyue shot the first person quickly, and they immediately reached an agreement: based on whether Zheng Xiaoyue would shoot the second person and kill the second person as the standard, the bet was an apple.
The Northwest base has a complete automated logistics farm supply system. In this chaotic world, fruits have become very rare. When Liao Qiu came back this time, Tian Guangyao brought him a few baskets of apples. Because the focus is on transporting weapons and ammunition, apples can only be based on the number of people counted by Liao Qiu when he set off, and each person can get one.
The burly Cao Xinneng appeared in front of the window on the second floor, holding a red apple in each of his hands, and was munching proudly.
Zheng Xiaoyue turned around and looked at Luo Kuan with a smile: "It's none of my business." If you want to blame it, blame the dead guy for not believing in evil. He thinks he's great, you hear it, and they even want to take me back and take turns doing that kind of thing. They gave me a good excuse to kill. ”
"You should leave this matter to me."
Luo Kuan wailed with a sad face: "Take turns to take turns, even if I am taken by hundreds of women, I am willing!" My apples...... I even lost an apple for it! ”
Zheng Xiaoyue walked lightly past Luo Kuan with her long legs, leaving a fluttering sentence.
"No problem, I'll leave this kind of thing to you in the future. Rest assured! When you take turns, I'll be sure to cheer you on by the side. ”
……
There are infected organisms in the city.
Liu Tianming is confirming this.
The location marked in the last words is a private hospital. To get there from the makeshift camp, you need to traverse half the city diagonally.
Walking along Lotus Road, when passing through the Century Community, Liu Tianming slowly stopped.
He had a hunch that something bad might happen, as if something dangerous was lurking nearby. It felt real, a warning from mutated cells. However, the signal was sent only once, and there was no more sound. Like a car coming from a distance at high speed, you will instinctively make a move to avoid and retreat. When the car passed by, everything was calm again.
There is no substantial evidence of the existence of any danger. The vigilance in Liu Tianming's mind did not relax.
It's afternoon, and the sky is cloudy, blocking out the sunlight and blurring the light on the ground.
Holding a large-caliber pistol in his left hand, Liu Tianming walked slowly along the deserted street. White mist erupted from between his mouth and nose, and his sharp gaze swept swiftly from every noteworthy spot.
The city was so quiet that Liu Tianming could even hear his own breathing. He no longer pays attention to what he sees with the naked eye, but lets go of all the sensations in his body and gives control of his brain to the mutated cells. Their perception is much sharper than their own, like a radar hidden in their bodies, scanning their surroundings with special biological radio waves.
As soon as he walked past a telephone pole, Liu Tianming immediately noticed a swift message flashing in front of him.
That's right, it's indeed "information", not a shadow.
The perception results of the mutated cells appear in an informational way, which is very different from the way the naked eye observes. It was more than three hundred meters away from Liu Tianming's location in a straight line, which was very vague, but it clearly indicated that it was an infected body.
Liu Tianming didn't catch up.
He found that the other party's speed was very fast, although it did not reach the level of his own "phantom", but it was enough to escape.
Three hundred meters is just a conceptual number. In that location, there can be an infinite number of directions to choose from. Even if Liu Tianming accelerates to catch up now, it will be difficult to find the traces of the other party.
He was unfamiliar with the city, and the time it had taken for them to appear within the detection distance of mutant cells was too short to make an accurate assessment of their strength. If you rush to chase after the situation when the situation is unclear, you may fall into the trap preset by the other party.
Infected are intelligent creatures, not idiots who don't understand anything.
Liu Tianming quietly released the bone blade from the palm of his right hand and clenched it hard.
He smelled a faint hint of blood in the air.
The smell is especially striking in the cold breeze.
Liu Tianming raised his head, the source of the taste should be not far ahead.
