There was still almost an hour before the official departure at eight o'clock, and Chen Xiao was temporarily resting in the headquarters nearby.

Taking out the report of yesterday's attack on the convoy, Chen Xiao looked at it carefully.

Yesterday, the convoy was suddenly attacked on the highway between Quancheng and Rongcheng, and the entire convoy of nearly 200 heavy trucks, most of which were destroyed, and the soldiers and awakened people who escorted it were also killed.

As soon as the attack began, the convoy immediately sent a distress signal to the headquarters, and the Rongcheng Air Force immediately went to support, but in just a few minutes, when the air force fighters felt the attack location, all the personnel of the convoy were killed.

In the report file, there are several high-definition photos taken by the warplane, but not a single body is visible in the long convoy.

And in addition to a few trucks in front and behind, the truck fleet in the middle is quietly parked on the highway.

Under the infrared scanning, there was no life heat reaction in all the trucks except for the heat of the truck's engine.

It was determined that everyone was killed, but strangely, there were no obvious traces of battle left around the scene, and not even any signs of mutated biological activity were found.

In this regard, the military also analyzed that it may be a cold-blooded mutant creature, so it cannot be found by the infrared thermal imaging equipment on the fighter.

And this is just one of the many suspicious points, judging by the photos at the scene, there are many suspicious places.

However, these are not Chen Xiao's concerns, this time he set off with the convoy, and he will also take some drivers with him to drive away the intact trucks in the convoy that was attacked yesterday.

What he really needs to think about is how to protect the integrity of the convoy, or how to minimize the loss of the convoy after encountering a mysterious attacker.

Air Force fighters would also hover over the convoy at all times as the convoy departed, and four attack helicopters accompanied the convoy.

The security protection has been improved by several levels compared with before.

But despite this, no one feels safe. After all, the current mutant creatures are strange and powerful.

A sense of security is what everyone lacks the most.

After seeing this material, Chen Xiao also understood. Why did Wang Tianfang come to ask him for help, and let himself, a rookie with no command experience, be the commander of the team.

Wang Tianfang is not interested in his own strength, but his reputation, and there is a strong man to follow. It's a boost for everyone in the team.

Propaganda and momentum, this kind of means government departments are more professional than anyone else, Wang Tianfang spares no effort to promote Chen Xiao in the security zone every day.

Chen Xiao is now in the safe zone, and he is definitely a household name, and his popularity is no less than that of any person.

The electronic information department of the army will package the latest video of Chen Xiao killing mutant creatures with various means every day, and publicize it in the security zone, and even this kind of propaganda means. It has spread to various security zones across the province.

People are terrified of zombies and mutated creatures, of a world that could take their lives at any moment.

At a time when people are desperate, there is a great need for heroes to inspire people and give them the motivation to live in extremely dangerous environments.

This is true in every military district, and even in other countries.

Chen Xiao didn't know about this, or he never cared about these problems.

But for Wang Tianfang, this is a very important matter, and he must spare no effort to inspire the people. Cohesion of the military.

Otherwise, there is no need for mutated creatures at all, the safe zone may have collapsed now, the army was the protector of people in the past, but now the army itself is in the apocalyptic environment. They are all at risk of collapsing.

Therefore, building momentum has become a very important link.

Just as Chen Xiao thought, the purpose of Wang Tianfang asking him to escort the convoy was to embolden the troops and drivers in the convoy.

This shot of strength can at least reduce the fear of everyone in the convoy along the way.

The convoy left on time, and half an hour earlier, units of an armored brigade were the first to set off. Their task was to escort the convoy onto the highway.

The mutated creatures outside the city had been cleared out of a safe passage by the time the convoy officially set off.

Chen Xiao did not get on the command helicopter originally arranged for him, but jumped into a truck in the middle of the convoy, sat on the truck like this, and set off with the convoy.

Liang Wanting and two little Loli also sat beside him.

Each truck is a heavy-duty truck with a load of more than 50 tons, and the trucks that safely enter the highway immediately stand side by side on the road.

The highway from Egret Island to Quancheng is a six-lane highway that allows six trucks to drive side-by-side.

Nearly two hundred trucks and more than thirty tanks and armored vehicles soon formed a long line of more than a thousand meters on the highway.

On the roof of the cab of each truck, a machine gun was mounted and operated by two soldiers.

On the other highway opposite, a large number of cars were piled up like this, and many cars were cleared from this side.

Chen Xiao, who sat on the top of the truck bed, had to take a break and then listen to the helicopter's briefings every few minutes.

In the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of the convoy, there is a helicopter gunship, and they fly in the airspace of about 1,000 meters to provide the convoy with real-time information about the surrounding situation.

As soon as the convoy left the range of Egret Island, mutated creatures and even zombies began to approach from time to time, and there were even some bosses.

When the convoy passed through several counties in Quancheng, it was attacked by thousands of zombies several times.

Nearly 200 trucks, plus tanks and armored vehicles, drove on the highway with a lot of noise.

And some sections of the highway pass by the ready-made side, which naturally attracts a large number of zombies.

However, there is no need for Chen Xiao to make a move at all, the machine guns on the truck and the armored vehicles guarding around are enough to destroy the zombies that are attracted.

Even if he encounters some ordinary bosses, they are all solved by Liang Wanting with a few arrows, and he doesn't need to make a move at all.

This is the first time since the end of the world that Chen Xiao has left the city of Ludao, and in the process of leaving the scope of Ludao, he can clearly feel that his body and mind are slowly relaxed.

This is not an illusion, this feeling of relaxation is also real, in Egret Island, Chen Xiao can always feel the sense of depression and crisis around him.

And when you leave Heron Island, this feeling immediately fades, and the farther away you are, the lighter the feeling becomes.

When the convoy passed through the urban area of Quancheng City and had left Ludao for 100 kilometers, Chen Xiao did not feel any sense of depression and crisis.

The whole person is more relaxed than ever. (To be continued.) )
