Chapter 21: The Last Infected (3)
At the end of the long highway there is a large city called Styx City, almost all the buildings are dilapidated, 20% of them were damaged during the removal of the infestation, and the rest were all destroyed by plants, the secondary mutation of the infected will make them completely turn into plants, the growth of plants is so amazing that it almost razes the city to ruins.
In the very center of the city there was a brand new high-rise building called the Freeman Building, with a total of twenty floors, and Hanock, whom Baker was about to kill, was on the top floor, sitting in his office, staring at the old-fashioned telephone on the desk.
The city's power supply system has not yet been restored, and telephones can only be used internally through exchanges, and generators will not ring when they stop, but in the current situation, having a telephone, even an internal phone, is enough to show the high status and power of Hanock.
The red light on the phone flashed first, and then the bell rang, Hanock couldn't wait to grab the earpiece, put it to his ear a little jerky, and asked nervously, "Arrived?" ”
I don't know if it's the line or the phone itself, the sound coming out of the receiver is seriously distorted, and there is a "whoosh" sound, but fortunately I can still understand it.
"Very good, tell them to go down, just pretend to shoot a few shots, put them into the city, prepare the escort car, remember, these are the last infected people, they are definitely not allowed to be killed or injured, I want to live, whoever dares to mess around, correct the law on the spot!" Hanock hung up the phone, stood up, rubbed his hands, straightened his clothes, and left the office and walked towards the lift.
Two soldiers standing guard at the door of the office immediately followed him.
"To the lab!" An excited roar came from the elevator room, causing the young men who controlled the winch to look at each other.

Jingle ......
The bullet hit the steel plate on the outside of the car body, making a pleasant sound, as if someone was playing the banqin, Zhou Yu clung to the metal pole next to the seat, thinking about Baker's strange appearance when he said about going home.
The bus seemed to have hit something, and it shook violently, and the sound of bullets moving from the front to the side and then to the rear of the car, indicating that they had successfully passed the first level.
Can't see the outside at all, Zhou Yu doesn't know what kind of scene is outside, judging from the density of bullets, Baker is indeed not wrong, the defense of the city is not tight.
The crash became more frequent, and then the bus began to turn, and the performance was surprisingly good, and it would not roll over no matter how fast it turned, but the infected people sitting in the back of the car were miserable, as if they had been thrown into a washing machine, rolling in a ball.
Noticing this, Baker slowed down and the impact eased.
Zhou Yu was so dizzy that he couldn't count how many turns the bus had turned, and he had to find another route to escape.
The gunfire came and went, but the bullets didn't hurt the steel beast, nor did they dramatically come through the crack in front of the driver's seat.
"Everything is normal, it's almost there." Baker looked back, not knowing who he was talking to, he looked even more nervous, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
The infected clapped their hands, but none of them could make a sound, except for the followers to tap their tongues on their upper and lower jaws, making a loud and dense "tuk-tuk" sound as a sign of cheer.
Zhou Yu also clapped his hands a few times dryly, and tied the cloth bag containing the corpse, this thing is useless, it can be used to scare people.
"Remember." Baker continued: "We are the last infected, human beings will not kill us easily, if you feel that your life is threatened, don't fight hard, choose to surrender, and then you can always find a way out of trouble, living is the most important thing, this is why I brought you here, even if you fail this time and are caught, it can be regarded as entering the enemy's interior, and then find a way to get out of trouble and kill Hanock." ”
"I see." Zhou Yu nodded, this method is not too bad, but it is not much better, there are too many uncertainties.
However, he agrees with the phrase "life is the most important thing", first, it is very similar to his own philosophy, and secondly, it means that Baker will not die easily, as long as Baker is alive, there is hope to complete the task.
With another violent impact, Zhou Yu threw himself on the cloth pocket he had brought up, and the poor dried corpse was tortured by him again.
Baker pressed the brakes hard, the bus body was too heavy, the brakes were not good, and he rushed forward for dozens of meters, hit a wall or something hard, and finally stopped.
Slapping the button to open the door and pulling out the car keys, Baker got up and walked behind the slowly lowered car door and told again: "Everyone, remember, it's the most important thing to be alive." ”
With that, he rushed out.
Zhou Yu immediately rushed out, he didn't care about Hanok, protecting Baker was the most important thing, if there was danger, knock Baker out and drag him to a safe place.
However, as soon as he got out of the bus, he was stunned.
There is indeed a tall building, similar in shape to the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, in the shape of a sail, with gray-black glass reflecting the sunlight and dazzling, but this tall building is thousands of meters away.
The bus stopped in the center of a clearing, surrounded by a high fence, empty, with the butt facing a broken iron gate.
This is completely different from what was promised, Zhou Yu looked around, but did not find Baker, and the bus did not hit a wall, but a cement pier half-inserted in the ground, lonely, as if it was inserted here to stop the bus.
The rest of the infected people rushed out of the car and froze in place.
"Wow......" Zhou Yu wanted to say the word "withdraw", but the word came to his mouth and swallowed it back, if it wasn't Baker's dream, he would lead these infected people to rush out through the broken gate.
What the hell is this guy Baker trying to do?
Things then turned out to be a bit old-fashioned, with a large crowd of heavily armed and armed soldiers pouring in from outside the gate and surrounding them, each with armbands on their chests and sleeves with a mushroom drawn on it, and a red cross on it.
"Don't be impulsive, don't resist, survive." Zhou Yu said to the infected, raised his hand and knelt on the ground, and roughly counted, at least thirty people were aiming at him, and with his current strength, he would definitely not be able to deal with it.
The infected all followed his example, raised their hands and knelt down, and there were a total of seventeen infected people, including Zhou Yu, two Big Macs, five voice followers, three stalkers, and seven runners.
The soldiers cautiously leaned over and shouted, "Get down!" Put your hands behind your back! ”
Zhou Yu lay down, put his hands behind his back, and immediately two people came over, one knelt on his calf, the other pressed his shoulder, and the cold metal shackles were put on his wrists and ankles, and he noticed that the movements of these soldiers were not rough at all, even a little gentle.
Baker appeared, it turned out that he had been hiding under the bus just now, no wonder he disappeared as soon as he ran out, as a dreamweaver, with the sadness of farewell, the resolute gaze and the heroism and courage of a strong man, he flew out of the car, and then drilled under the car, which one is this?
The "hero" was not shackled, but was caught between two soldiers, and his expression was not as nervous as before.
"Could it be that his plan is to use us as stepping stones, go to Hanock, and then sacrifice his life?" Zhou Yu let the soldier help him up, still staring at Baker: "If that's the case, why didn't he say it beforehand?" Everyone came with the determination to die, even if they didn't say it, they could give it a look, why don't they want to look this way? ”
The infected were divided into three teams and strung together with thick chains, Zhou Yu was the third person in the first team, and more than thirty soldiers surrounded them and escorted them to the gate.
There was a row of cars parked outside the door, two SUVs in the front, and all cash trucks in the back, Baker and the two soldiers got into the second SUV, and Zhou Yu and his team were taken into the cash trucks that followed behind the SUVs.
The chains were fastened by locks welded to the walls of the compartment, and all infected subjects were allowed to sit, and their hands and feet could move in small areas, but for no reason.
There was no light in the carriage, black rumbling, and after the car started, Zhou Yu's voice sounded: "Everyone, I don't know what's going on, the current situation is roughly the same as what Baker said, and there are some differences, humans really don't have the idea of killing us, but the purpose of arresting us is not clear, everyone should not act rashly, given that only I can speak, just listen to my command for the time being, if you agree, touch your handcuffs, if you don't agree, stomp your feet gently, don't suddenly find ballast and pit your teammates." ”
There was a slight metal clash, a lot of tinkling thanks to the chains, but there was no stamping sound, and that was enough.
"Then it's decided." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Next, it is my time to suffer. ”
Suffering refers to [blindness], intraocular pressure is no joke, it can really hurt people to death, but he has to get information and figure out what the hell Baker is up to.
"It's not easy to be a dream hunter, and you will be sold by a dream weaver."
Closing his eyes and holding his eyes down with his palms, he used the [Blind] Dream Talisman, the pain so intense that he almost snorted.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Zhou Yu's gaze passed through the thick carriage.
The cash cart was moving slowly, and the soldiers trotted along the sides of the convoy like a giant millipede moving towards a tall building. The footsteps were chaotic, and the people on the street saw this team and took refuge in nearby buildings, they all knew what the presence of this army meant.
Looking ahead, Baker sat in the back seat of an SUV, sandwiched between two soldiers and a driver in the car, and no one spoke.
At the end of the convoy was the steel bus in which they were seated, which meant that Baker handed over the keys to the soldiers.
