Chapter 31: Early Walkers
In order to be cautious, Gou Cao sent a drone to reconnoiter before arriving at the tarmac, and found no abnormality. But the drone broke down on the way back. Cortana said that it was damaged by the resonance of the infrasound waves of the drone's core components and the airport's bird repeller. Gou Cao had to tell the rest of the team that the parts were broken, and he would repair them.
Although Gou Ke had a strong sense of unease on the way to the tarmac, in the end, everyone searched the tarmac peacefully, and nothing happened in between.
It's just that everyone didn't get anything to gain, and everything that could be removed and used on the plane was dismantled. It cannot be ruled out that it was taken away by the military when they evacuated, but the traces of the demolition clearly show the roughness of the demolition, so it is more likely that someone came one step ahead of him and took the contents with him.
Thinking carefully about the fact that the door of the arsenal had been pried through, the attention was more attracted by the terrifying scene inside, so I didn't notice it. Now that I think about it, the arsenal looks more like someone who pried open it with brute force and removed everything in it and then welded it to death.
But if it's just an ordinary person passing by here to loot resources, why do they have to weld the door of the arsenal to death after it is hollowed out? Did they come into contact with something inside and decide to trap it inside? But if the terrible bud was there, they would not have been able to move things safely; Two, if they get the arsenal's munitions, then they're more than capable of blowing it up. Was the munition gone when they came, or did they have other concerns to destroy it?
Thinking about it like this, Gou Cao suddenly felt that those things in the arsenal might not be something that could be solved by a single fire. What to do depends on Cortana's analysis of the sample.
However, the team was not completely unsuccessful on the tarmac, and perhaps the previous group felt that it was useless. The Y-12 transport aircraft also has four pairs of small solid rocket thrusters of the "YT-32" type symmetrically retained in the belly.
This thing is generally used to load on the transport plane, so that the transport plane can quickly reach the speed of lift-off when taking off, and the burning time is only fifteen seconds. Unlike liquid rocket thrusters, the rate of combustion can be controlled. So once ignited, you have to wait for it to run out of fuel. Since the nitrate plasticized polyether used as fuel is difficult to obtain, it is basically one less than one. It's really hard for ordinary people to get their hands on it.
However, Gou Cao is obviously not an ordinary person, there is a printer, and this thing can play a great role in Gou Cao's hands. So Gou Ke kept one of the thrusters for his own magic reuse.
The other seven were left to the settlements for minor changes, and the idea was that the settlements could be equipped with a gas canister or a high-concentration alcohol barrel at the head of the rocket, and a stabilizing wing surface could be used as an improvised rocket. However, this kind of modification product is estimated to be disdainful of the people who looted a large number of arms here before. As for myself, of course, this one will be more refined.
After the rocket thrusters were purchased, the group successively removed several pieces of metal materials on the plane that were relatively flat and easy to dismantle and took away. The group did not come in vain.
After searching the tarmac and searching the hangar, it has been emptied as expected, only a few zombies are there, and there is nothing more to be gained except for a few pieces of empty aluminum.
In the end, the remaining ones were the personnel living quarters and the logistics warehouse, and the team decided to go to the logistics warehouse first to see if there was anything left over from the previous group.
Having learned the lesson of the arsenal, Gou Cao and his party detonated the directional explosives by remote control in the car. But when it explodes, it was found that there was nothing abnormal except for a group of zombies that ran out normally without buds. But it's just as empty.
It's still a bump. After being run over and impacted, the convoy quickly wiped out the few zombies in the first place, but the windows of the three brave cars were blackened by the loss of blood, and they could not be opened again.
The zombie blood was very viscous, and the louvered armor was installed outside the car window, so the wipers could not be used, and the group had to get out of the car first and clean it up with blood melt mixed with water. Because the stench of zombie blood was extremely strong, I had to take turns wearing masks to wash it, so it took a long time. By the time the cleanup was finished, it was already late in the evening.
At this time, Gou Cao also happened to print a drone and installed sound insulation protection devices on its core parts, so he used the drone to explore the logistics warehouse that everyone did not dare to enter rashly.
This time, because there was no mechanical mouse, Gou Ke used a tablet to broadcast it live to the rest of the team.
The warehouse was divided into several small compartments, and the drones searched through them one by one, and the first few were empty and nothing out of the ordinary. But the compartment in the middle really caused everyone to worry.
Inside that compartment was a three-meter-high pile of corpses. The corpses in the pile of corpses died in different ways, but judging by the wounds, you can roughly guess how they died.
Some of the blood vessels are black, the skin is dull and bright, there is a small hole in the door of the head, and a large piece is missing from the back of the head, which is obviously a zombie who has been shot in the head. Some are normal people, and there are tooth marks that can be clearly seen at the wound, which should be ordinary people who escaped random zombies but were bitten to death by zombies. But there are also a large number of human corpses, shot at and wounded by blunt objects, sharply cut open, apparently killed by cannibalism among their own kind.
In the pre-apocalyptic fires, many people survived the smoke by robbing other people's filter masks. And in the last days, there will probably be more people who kill people for a little resource. The survivors of the Lake Villa are really lucky to have so many resources and a safe shelter.
But in addition to being related, what worries Gou Cao even more is the corpses themselves. To be precise, the flesh that still remains on these corpses.
According to Gou Cao's previous understanding, zombies have a strong appetite for meat, especially meat of the same kind, He Hehe's experiment said so, and it was also recorded in the documents. This is also evidenced by the white bones covered in the road without a single shred of flesh that Gou Cao saw when he entered the suburbs. But there are so many zombies here, surrounded by them, but these corpses have not been eaten. And the meat under the black threads in the arsenal is also well preserved.
In other words, there is something here that can make zombies restrain their instinct to devour. That's what is most dangerous.
Due to the sudden chaos, humans are at a numerical disadvantage compared to zombies, and if they want to survive, they must use the zombies' purely instinctive mode of action to crush their intelligence. So if zombies have the ability to restrain their instincts, then the human side is very dangerous.
So what is there to do that over here?
Just when Gou Cao was thinking this, Cortana's reminder interrupted Gou Cao's thoughts.
"Something is approaching in the direction of the personnel living quarters."
