Chapter 49: Back to the villa
87_87057After a night's rest at the gas station, the three teams again drove the car towards the south.
With the car, it only took half an hour for everyone to pass through the industrial area of more than ten kilometers, and came to the street that Bai Qi and the others had only broken through that day.
Standing on the roof of the off-road vehicle, looking at the old street in front of him, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh a little, when they left here with the ecstasy of escaping that day, they never expected to return here so soon.
As the convoy got closer to the street, the wreckage of the cars on the road grew, and the crowd had to abandon the car again and walk.
The three captains, Charlie and Daniel, discussed for a moment at the entrance of the street, and made adjustments to the team, and the three teams separated again, Daniel's team went south, and Li Wenchang's team went north, each passing through an alley to the streets on both sides, and the three teams marched in unison along the three parallel streets.
The five Bai Qi also parted ways with the three teams.
The streets on the north and south sides are more prosperous than the street Bai Qi chose that day, and the number of infected people is naturally higher, but the situation of the three teams at this time is not the same as that of Bai Qi and the five people who first entered the space that day.
This group of survivors were all veterans who had struggled in this apocalyptic city for a whole year, and both their experience and physical qualities were far stronger than the five Bai Qi who had not yet completed the transformation of their bodies that day.
Even now, if you talk about the body elements alone, Bai Qi and the others are still the bottom of this group of survivors. Moreover, this group of survivors also has a large number of automatic weapons in their hands.
For survivors who are accustomed to fighting in the city, the density of infected people here is a piece of cake.
The three teams advanced quickly, and after more than two hours, they were in the middle of the street.
Walking here, Bai Qi quickly realized that something was wrong. As they move forward, the frequency of attacks by infected people decreases rapidly.
Daniel was also quick to notice this situation, and he took two quick steps to catch up with Bai Qi, who was walking in front.
Bai Qi naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and without waiting for him to speak, he said directly: "When we passed through here a few days ago, there were a lot of infected people, and almost every twenty or thirty meters we would be attacked by infected people. ”
Daniel asked, "Then what do you think is causing the sharp drop in the number of infected people here?" Could it be the mutant wolves? ”
Bai Qi said: "Obviously, it must be them, that group of wolves followed our scent into this neighborhood, and this neighborhood has a lot more infected people than the eastern neighborhood where they often hunt, so this group of wolves must have used this as their new predator ground." ”
Daniel asked rhetorically, "You said that there are only more than fifty wolves in that pack, and in just a few days, it is impossible to hunt all the infected people in such a large block, right?" ”
Bai Qi glanced at Daniel a little strangely, the reason for this, how could he, who has always been smart, not think of it? He seemed to be running away from something.
After thinking about it, he replied, "On the one hand, it is predated by wolves, and on the other hand, some infected people who have a little human memory are likely to migrate and flee this neighborhood after encountering the threat of powerful creatures. ”
Daniel was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "You're right, this is indeed in line with the habits of the intested. ”
After saying that, he asked, "In other words, from here forward, we will encounter that group of mutant wolves at any time?" His tone was a little solemn.
Bai Qi nodded and said, "I think so." ”
Bai Qi understood a little at this time that Daniel was running away, or what he was worried about, he was worried that the wolves were too powerful and would extinguish their hope of entering the suburbs. They had already been hit once at the docks, and their hopes of taking the waterway were almost completely gone, and if their hopes of entering the suburbs were also dashed, they would be completely trapped in the city.
These survivors do not have a 100-day period, and once they are completely trapped in the city, it will take another half a year at most, and the bagged food in the city will spoil one after another, and at that time, they will have no food source other than to prey on the infected.
But once they start preying on the infected, what is the difference between them and the intested? This is a situation that even a murderous Daniel would not want to face.
For Bai Qi, who has a way out, whether he can go to the suburbs or not is just an irrelevant matter, and he even hopes that this team can stay in the city, but for these survivors, whether they can gain a foothold in the suburbs has almost become a matter of life and death at this time.
It's no wonder that even someone as tough as Daniel can't help but run away.
Daniel walked beside Bai Qi, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked again: "Bai, if we can't deal with that group of mutant wolves, if the animals in the suburbs become very powerful, we can't get a foothold anywhere, what are your plans?" ”
Bai Qi turned his head and glanced at Daniel, this bandit who had always been tough, at this time, there was a faint trace of panic in his eyes.
Bai Qi glanced back at George and the four of them, their expressions were also solemn with obvious fear.
Ever since he was sent into this world, Bai Qi has been puzzled whether this is reality or illusion, and because of this confusion, he actually doesn't fully regard Daniel and them as real human beings, and he sometimes even wonders if they are an electronic number.
This is also the reason why Bai Qi, who has never killed anyone, has no burden in his heart after killing the Nordic man Anderson.
But at this moment, he looked at the five flesh-and-blood people around him, recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with this group of survivors during this time, and he suddenly realized that this was by no means a virtual world, and he didn't believe that there was any artificial intelligence that could interpret human beings so vividly and so flesh and blood.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi's heart suddenly sank.
If these people were nothing more than an electronic number, then he would never care if they lived or died. But if these people were real human beings, human beings of flesh and blood, then he could not bear to watch them die in despair.
The ease in Bai Qi's heart gradually disappeared, he was silent for a long time, and just when Daniel thought he would not answer, he suddenly spoke: "If the road into the southern suburbs can't be passed, then let's go back to the docks, I have killed mutants, and you have also killed mutants, the reason why human beings are the spirits of all things has never been because of how strong we are, but because we have infinite wisdom, as long as we don't give up ourselves, there is always a way to kill all the infected and mutants entrenched on the docks, it's no big deal." ”
Listening to Bai Qi's words, Daniel's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted Bai Qi's shoulder vigorously, and said, "I now understand why you were able to kill that mutant, you are a truly fearless warrior." ”
As if the knot in his heart was untied by Bai Qi's words, Danielton became high-spirited again.
Fortunately, the three teams came all the way to the villa community where Bai Qi had settled, and they didn't encounter wolves.
The three teams regrouped at an intersection into the community, the same intersection where Bai Qi and the others had left, and where the Humvee SUV they had used was still parked.
Bai Qi walked into the off-road vehicle and saw that the car was covered with mottled scratches, and the seat ornaments in the car were also bitten, which was shocking, and it seemed that when they abandoned the car and left, the wolves were attracted by their smell and tossed the car.
The roads in the community were open to traffic again, and the people found the cars that could still start from the wreckage of the cars on the streets, and drove towards the interior of the community.
Huang Mao found a pickup truck, and Bai Qi and Qin Qing all sat on it.
Led by Huang Mao, the convoy headed towards the super villa in the center of the community where they had once stayed.
It was Bai Qi's idea to stay at the villa for a while, because it was the best place in the neighborhood and had a good view of the park where the wolves lived.
Bai Qi speculated that the wolves would not leave the park, as the park's small natural lake was the only high-quality water source nearby.
Until the convoy entered the super villa, everyone still did not see the shadow of the wolves.
The convoy drove into the villa and stopped in front of the main building, which had apparently been visited by wolves and was in shambles.
Bai Qi led several core members of the team around the main building and came to the back door that he had broken, and the inside of the villa was also patronized by wolves. Although it is a mess, it cannot hide the luxury of this villa in the past.
Daniel whistled and said, "White, your life is not bad, if it weren't for the catastrophe, maybe I wouldn't want to enter such a villa for the rest of my life." ”
Before the catastrophe, although Daniel was the boss of the gang, he could only mingle in the slums, and he had never entered such an upscale community.
Bai Qi said with a smile: "After the disaster, we have been wandering around several communities here, and it is because we entered this villa that we were able to discover the group of mutant wolves in advance, so we didn't enjoy this villa for a few days." ”
Everyone went straight up to the fourth floor, came to the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, took out their binoculars, and looked out towards the park to the south according to Bai Qi's instructions.
Bai Qi also took out his binoculars and looked towards the park, at this time the park was very quiet, and there was no sign of wolves, but the messy paw prints by the lake undoubtedly showed that Bai Qi was not lying.
Bai Qi raised his binoculars again and looked at the place where the wolves used to hunt, but there was still no sign of the wolves.
Just as Bai Qi was thinking about where the wolves went, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from downstairs.
Several leaders were immediately startled, and hurriedly ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the north gate, only to see a group of wolves exactly like Bai Qi's description rushing in from the direction ......of the villa gate.
