Chapter 42: The Rats
The Rover did not undergo major repairs, but only optimized the armor at the bottom of the car, making the bottom of the car an inverted trapezoidal shape, so that the energy of the explosion could be unloaded to both sides when attacked by mines, thus increasing the Rover's survivability against roadside bombs.
In addition, Gou Cao also used the people to ask the National Front for a QJC-35 12.7mm vehicle-mounted machine gun, which was used to install it on the roof of the car. And all around, the JS9 submachine gun was replaced by a Type 47 assault rifle turret.
Smoke grenades are modified from the vehicle, which can eject from the roof and around the car in wartime and quickly release 16 air-burst smoke grenades, quickly covering the body with smoke. It is guaranteed to be able to break away even if it is set on fire.
Gou Cao tried to install a flash grenade, but found that this thing was okay at close range, and it was clumsy at long range, and it could not be used to interfere with nearby enemies in wartime, but it was more likely to hit friendly forces.
Gou Cao's own self-defense equipment has also improved dramatically, and the National Front has provided a set of standard combat equipment for its soldiers: baseball caps, sunglasses, Type 45 body armor and matching carrying gear, Type 47 rifles, and a loose jacket and sweatpants and sneakers.
But this set of PMC armed personnel style is actually to greatly sacrifice the ability to maneuver at the expense of protection, this kind of equipment naturally has a certain amount of truth in the last days, but obviously Gou is still more willing to wrap himself tightly.
After picking and picking, Gou Ke customized the equipment for himself: a Type 48 paratrooper helmet, an shooter's eyepiece, a Type 37 single-person anti-riot equipment with the function of discharging stabs and bombs, a Type 30 assault rifle with a Type 20 gun-mounted shotgun launcher with an independent trigger, and a passive night vision device with thermal imaging function.
In addition, 500 rounds of 5.8mm rifle rounds (for assault rifles), 500 rounds of 5.8mm pistol rounds (for pistols and submachine guns), 50 rounds of deer bullets and 10 rounds of SABOT single-head rounds, as well as 10 rounds of door-breaking rounds (for gun-mounted shotgun launchers), grenades, smoke grenades, and flash grenades are always available in the subspace storage device. The sense of security is multiplied.
Five days later, Gou was ready to go. But that morning, he was informed that the commander had sent him off not at the exit of the stronghold, but in a warehouse on the west side of the stronghold
The location of the warehouse was so remote that Gou Ke had completely ignored it during his previous rounds around the stronghold. Gou Ke arrived there under the guidance of Wu Zhe himself.
The iron door of the warehouse was slowly opened. Waiting inside were the commander and two heavily armed "Warrior 3K" military off-road vehicles.
Both SUVs are standard models with no major modifications, except that the QJC-35 12.7mm on-board machine gun on the roof is surrounded by a hemispherical metal cage mounted above the armor plate to protect the shooter, which can prevent the shooter from being bitten by zombies climbing on the hull.
"So that's why you were able to break through the corpse chaser blockade and continue to infiltrate the north?" Gou Ke looked at a square area on the ground that was noticeably less dusty than the rest of the warehouse. It is not uncommon to use underground transportation to cross the blockade, as early as the last example of the southern slaves of the country on the other side of the Pacific who fled north, using underground passages to evade search.
However, after the end of the world, is there still an organization that maintains the engineering ability to excavate tunnels that can allow large vehicles to cross half of the northern capital?
"That's right." When the commander saw Gou Cao coming, he got up and held Gou Cao's hand. "Hopefully one day you'll say 'we' instead of 'you'." When it comes to expressing one's identification with another, no amount of praise is worth a word of solicitation.
Gou Ke didn't respond directly, just watched as a large chunk in the center of the floor slowly parted, and then a huge elevator slowly rose.
"I'm sorry to tell you about this now, but it's also for the sake of confidentiality." The commander said as he stuffed a small stack of documents to Gou Cao, "This underground passage was built after connecting the secret underground air defense facilities in Beidu City and some subway passages under construction, and it leads directly to the rear of the corpse chaser's defense line. Here is a large map and a detailed map of this passage. ”
Gou Cao took the map, but there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart: "Since you have this, why did you still stop the infiltration of the north?" ”
The commander looked like he knew you were going to ask: "There are no suitable infiltrators, and there are zombies in this." We didn't have enough people to clean it up, so we simply closed the passage. This is the first time in months that the channel has been opened. ”
"At the moment, this road is the safest, although there are some dangers." Seeing this, Wu Zhe interjected.
Gou Cao did not respond, and the uneasiness did not dissipate. It's not that he doesn't believe in the commander and Wu Zhe. It's just that the zombie closure of the military airport has changed so much in a few months, so what about the subway?
However, Gou Cao did not say this hidden worry, what he could think of, how could Wu Zhe and the commander not think of it. Moreover, speaking out will not solve any problems, it will only shake the morale of the military.
The two off-road vehicles that went with Gou Cao carried five people each, and each vehicle carried four members except for Wu Zhe and Meng Jie, who served as the commanders. A total of 10 heavily armed National Front soldiers were quite sincere.
When the whole team was ready to go, the elevator carried them down into the ground. As the barricaded doors on the warehouse floor were closed, the entire convoy was drowned in darkness.
In the silence and darkness, Gou Ke gave the first order with a hearable communication device: "Turn on all night vision devices, and prohibit visible light and any unnecessary sounds." ”
On the green screen of the night vision device with thermal imaging, everyone saw dense light blue humanoid thermal images in the distance.
It is a thermal imaging that occurs when the temperature is much lower than the human body, but higher than the ambient temperature. This is what zombies look like when they are displayed on a thermal imaging screen.
Gou Ke was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, but lowered his voice: "Turn on the silent driving mode, follow my car, and don't do superfluous things." They haven't discovered us yet. ”
