In the apocalypse, the Awakened are the hole cards of human beings against zombies and strange beasts, and the army is the backbone of the fight against these monsters.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary armies alone to have the power to fight against mutated zombies and alien beasts, and their capital is from the powerful weapons and equipment researched by later generations of scientists who worked day and night.

For example, Force artillery, such as assault armor......

These equipment can allow ordinary people to have as much power as the Awakened.

Therefore, in the apocalypse, what kind of people are the most important and precious, not the powerful awakened ones, nor the noble human government leaders, but these helpless scientists.

Duan Fei, who has been struggling to survive in the apocalypse for twenty years, knows better than anyone that in the world after the outbreak of the apocalypse, basically all human civilizations have been destroyed, and more than ninety percent of the earth's creatures have been infected with the virus, including crops, of course. So, during that time, the surviving humans had to endure the pain of starvation in addition to the threat from the zombies.

And it's the scientists who solve this problem.

So, without scientists, food, weapons, medicines, everything, would be in a huge problem.

After hearing Cao Silong's words, Duan Fei's eyes froze, and he also understood why he was in such a hurry.

Now that the shelter has just been built, everything is in its most primitive state, ready to be rebuilt. At the beginning of the apocalypse, it is up to these scientists whether the Vault can gain a foothold in the ruins of this city.

"Brother Cao, don't worry. You see that there are no corpses of scientists on the ground, and judging by the current situation, they should have escaped, and there is no problem for the time being! Seeing Cao Silong's anxious look, Duan Fei couldn't help but comfort him.

"yes, Captain, don't worry!" Xiao Qin and the others also spoke.

Hearing Duan Fei's words, Cao Silong slowly calmed down, he nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Duan, what you said is right, judging from the current situation, they should have escaped." But even if they escape, they should be in danger now, and we must find them quickly! ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "There is only one road here, we keep going forward, we should be able to meet them." But now the road is blocked, and we can only walk! ”

As he spoke, Duan Fei looked up and saw that the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.

It was impossible to move all the cars blocking the intersection out of the way, and now walking was the only way to go. However, the pace of walking is too slow, and it is still unknown whether they will be able to reach the shelter before dark.

"It's a slow walk, but we might be able to meet the group of scientists in front of us, and when the time comes, we'll take their cars back!"

"That's all there is to it!" Cao Silong nodded, agreeing with Duan Fei's suggestion. Because in the current situation, this is indeed the best way.

After obtaining everyone's consent, under the leadership of Duan Fei, everyone bypassed these damaged cars and walked quickly forward.

The wounded Cao Silong was supported by the survivors, while the other soldiers tightly protected them in the middle, and Duan Fei walked in the forefront, always keeping an eye on the movements around him.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting darker, and it was already evening, and there were constant low roars on the silent highway.

Listening to these terrifying voices, everyone's faces were a little pale, and their hearts were extremely nervous.

At this point in time, it is almost time for zombies to start moving. Fortunately, this place belongs to the suburbs, far from the city center, although it is getting dark, but except for a few scattered zombies, they did not encounter a large number of zombies.

However, at this time, Duan Fei, who was originally walking at the front of the team, seemed to notice something moving and suddenly stopped.

"Dada......"

In the distance, there was a dense sound, what appeared to be the sound of bullets, mixed with the roars of monsters and the roars of humans.

At the moment when Duan Fei stopped, everyone unanimously heard this abrupt voice.

"Brother Duan, this voice ......" Cao Silong's face suddenly became serious.

"Yes, it's gunshot!" A gleam flashed in Duan Fei's eyes and he said.

"Sure enough!" Hearing Duan Fei's words, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in Cao Silong's eyes. Such a dense sound of gunfire can only be issued by machine guns, and this machine gun, even in the police station, can not be available, only troops.

It seems that they have been walking for so long before they finally meet the people who sent scientists to each other.

"Let's go!" The moment he heard this gunshot, Duan Fei's eyes froze, and he led everyone to quickly move in the direction where the gunshot came from.

Under the leadership of Duan Fei, everyone soon came to the place where the gunshots rang out.

After finding a hidden hiding place, Duan Fei asked the others to hide, and then looked up, and the scene in front of him was in full view.

I saw a large group of zombies not far ahead, tightly surrounding several military trucks and off-road vehicles. After surrounding the cars, the zombies roared and rushed towards the cars one by one.

"Dada", the machine gun kept strafing, and the zombies around him kept falling to the ground. However, when one or two zombies fell, more monsters rushed towards these people in front of them.

Under the cover of the large truck, about ten or so soldiers were fighting bloodily, all of them holding incomparably sophisticated weapons and equipment in their hands, and a large number of bullets poured down from their hands and poured towards this group of zombies.

Perhaps because of the strong firepower, although there were many zombies, in this short period of time, they were unable to break through the defense in front of them.

And in the center of this group of soldiers, Duan Fei saw seven scientists in white coats, snuggled up to each other, hiding in the truck compartment, with a look of fear written on their faces.

"Captain, no, there are too many zombies, we can't hold on!" A small man was shooting frantically in front with a gun, and at the same time yelled at a middle-aged soldier with a Chinese face.

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on to me, these scientists we have to send them safely to the shelter no matter what, they are the hope of humanity! Resist me! The middle-aged soldier with a national character face shouted loudly.

His name is Cui Jian, and he is the security captain in charge of logistics, and he is a big man second to none in the shelter.

In normal times, ordinary tasks don't need him to take action. However, among the scientists escorted this time, there was a very important top scholar, so he chose to lead the team himself.

However, on the way back to escort the scientists, he accidentally encountered a large number of zombies, and then everyone was immediately surrounded by these zombies.

After paying the price of several soldiers' lives, they went through a lot of hardships and finally escaped from the encirclement of the zombie horde temporarily.

However, when they thought they had finally escaped, they unexpectedly encountered a new group of zombies, and the convoy was surrounded many times, and they fell into a desperate situation.

Looking at the zombies that kept pouring in front of them, everyone's faces turned pale, and a look of despair flashed in their eyes.

"Xiao Li, you go start the car and take the scientists to get ready to rush out! Others, fire cover! Looking at the scene in front of him, Cui Jian showed a sad expression on his face and shouted loudly.

Surrounded by such a huge number of zombies, there was no chance of them surviving. The only way is to use them as bait to temporarily attract these zombies, and let the scientists drive out.

"Yes!" After hearing Cui Jian's order, the nine soldiers next to him were slightly stunned, and then responded loudly, with a generous look on their faces.

Scientists are the hope of mankind, and they are important beings to protect even if they give their lives.

Since it is already the end of mortality, then you must die as you deserve!
