Chapter 224: Pathfinder
Judging from the direction of the inferred passage, the mildew water forbidden area is the real place where Lilac is imprisoned!
That area is much larger, almost encompassing the original Beige County, close to 700 hectares, and the terrain conditions are more complex. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before the arrival of the biological and chemical weapons attack, it was centered on the water purification plant, and the surrounding area radiated more than two dozen small and medium-sized factories with industrial predominantly radiation, as well as countless slum squatters. After the detonation of biological and chemical weapons one after another, a large number of houses collapsed, and the soft soil near the water became more potholes, forming countless mud swamps and tidal flats.
At present, in addition to the poisonous fog left by biochemical weapons, it is also necessary to add a large number of mutant zombies, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to rush inside to save people.
But as Holly said, this confrontation has begun, Wu Ming and the others have no way to retreat, it is not a forbidden area of mildew, but Longtan Tiger**, this gang of robbers has also made up their minds to break through, as for the evil devil entrenched in Longtan Tiger**, they have to fight anyway.
After finding an abandoned house in the woods of camphor and paulownia trees, everyone settled down for the time being, watching the movements of the silver manor on the one hand, and making the next rescue plan on the other.
Don't look at Holly's previous joking attitude towards the plan to attack the Silver Manor, but when it came time to see the real chapter, she was so serious that she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Thinking about it, I also know that the international-level thief who committed the crime can get to the point where he is now, and what he depends on for his livelihood is definitely not the "plan that can be revised at any time", and every action she takes must have been carefully investigated and carefully planned before it could be successful.
Figuring out the topography of the Moldy Water Exclusion Zone is the first step in this plan.
Due to the poisonous fog in the area where the moldy water exclusion zone is located for many years, the satellite cannot accurately map the surface situation, and all that can be grasped is the general geomorphological trend. In the end, it was not resolved, and it was only hastily concluded that the residual biochemical poison could be automatically discharged in about fifty years. Anyway, the world is not overcrowded at the moment, and there is no hurry to expand the place of residence everywhere. Even if it is marked as a special forbidden area, they will ignore the rest of the troubles.
The scouts made it easier for the careerists to act in secret, but it brought a lot of trouble to the robbers. Breaking into it already requires covering your mouth and nose and covering your whole body tightly. If you go in blind, you will have to try your luck if you can settle down next time, it will be a big joke!
If you want to figure out the terrain, Marven has equipment, portable all-terrain scanners can accurately record every detail within a radius of 100 meters, under normal circumstances, as long as two or three micro drones are arranged, in the restricted area at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour flight speed around for two hours, the complete holographic map will appear in Marven's database, can be called anytime and anywhere.
But that convenient approach doesn't work right now. Because the careerist behind the scenes has undoubtedly carried out strict monitoring of his poison nest for a long time, whether it is an electrical signal or a biological signal, if he enters it, he will be found out at the first time, and the terrain cannot be found out is still secondary.
Since high-tech means cannot be applied, the old stupid method is a good way - manual surveying and mapping.
It takes volunteers, and that volunteer has to have two skills: one. Possess memorable surveying and mapping skills; Second, it has the combat strength to be able to fight and fight.
Of the five members of the robber team, only one person met this condition at the same time. But it's the only female Holly. Keeping an eye on the terrain is an instinct cultivated over many years of thieves, and any place in the world, as long as Holly walks through it casually, every detail can be imprinted in her mind, and nothing will be missed. As for combat strength. Holly probably has to be in the middle of the ranks, if she really wants to make a move, in addition to Wu Ming and Furukawa, I'm afraid even Marven is not her opponent.
Although Holly was the best candidate, it was really the woman who came from thousands of miles to help who was in danger alone, and several other men were naturally sad, once something went wrong, she was held accountable by her unwarranted boyfriend afterwards, and no one could open their mouths to explain. Therefore, even if there is a suspicion of wasting manpower, it is necessary to match this volunteer with a personal bodyguard to be appropriate.
The bodyguard candidate was slightly controversial, but Wu Ming finally won by a narrow margin with the secret weapon of the red ghost and was successfully elected.
Resting overnight, and preparing two sets of protective clothing and helmet guards at the same time, when the sky was just dawning, taking advantage of the poisonous fog in the moldy water forbidden area to converge, Wu Ming and Holly quietly went on the road.
To the north of the woods was what was already a mewy exclusion zone, with large swaths of dead trees, rotting leaves, and thick layers of sediment hanging from the branches, fluffy, disgusting brownish-green. Followed by a depression, it is estimated that it should have been a pond, there are bridges, water, pavilions, beautiful and pleasant scenery, but now they are like covered with a bad green quilt, except for the cockroaches with strong adaptability and leisure to enjoy here, the rest of the creatures have long been extinct.
"I hate it, you know?" Holly looked around and said to Wu Ming through the call vibrator on the front edge of the helmet, "It often means indifferent suspicion, and the actions that follow are usually vicious betrayal, and if there are any emotions in this world that really affect me, we are in the middle of it right now." ”
Holly's tone was not joking, Wu Ming could hear it. In fact, when Holly was looking out at the Moldy Water Exclusion Zone on Chalongkorn Road the night before, Wu Ming felt her unease. Don't look at this super thief has a special ability for emotions, but her own emotions are also affected, just now, Wu Ming feels that this is an extremely rare way for her to confide her true feelings.
"They're all dead, but they're not dyed with that disgusting color, so you can't find sin for yourself, just ignore what you see." Wu Ming explained.
Holly's "um" was heavy, and she was clearly just coping.
"This is actually the mood of the world; on our emotions. She jumped forward by stepping on the rocks in the puddle of mud, instead of wading directly through the knee-high muddy water like Wu Ming, "They are all dead things, but that doesn't mean they can't show their emotions." We hurt them, and while it seems to us for good reason, it is ultimately an injury, and they should be suspicious of us and should take action against us. ”
Holly's topic is quite public-welfare, and Wu Ming also deeply agrees, but he always feels that at this time of year, it is really not suitable to discuss it.
"Then let's be careful not to be scapegoated by them." He said, "After all, the hurt didn't come from the two of us; We are not to blame, and our goal is still full of justice, to ensure that the world is not harmed more. ”
"Hah, you're absolutely right." Holly said without complaints, "This is the mentality of the master, and in my heart I believe that we are the rightful masters of this world, and as the master, we have the right to decide the decoration of the house, what should be placed on the bookshelf, and what is useless should be eliminated to the garbage heap." ”
Hearing that Holly was not only not relieved, but became more and more resentful, Wu Ming had nothing to do, so he could only silently withdraw the idea of persuasion, obediently follow aside, and just do a good job as a bodyguard.
Despite the mood fluctuations, Holly's mapping work was not affected, and she had been carefully observing the situation around her as she progressed. The poisonous fog in the forbidden area is filled, the line of sight is not far at all, the visibility is only more than ten meters, and at the same time, it is necessary to beware of the vigilance force that may appear, Holly's work can only be carried out steadily, and if it continues, the topographic mapping of the key area may consume a whole day.
Walking out of the depression, I officially entered the deep hinterland of the moldy water exclusion zone, and the visibility became even lower, almost as if I couldn't see my fingers. Collapsed shantytowns, corroded factories with only skeletons, green and smoky ditches, and scrapped vehicles in their original form can still be faintly seen......
Holly would occasionally pause to make out the direction, and more time, she was just silently recording everything in front of her.
Wu Ming is not an expert in the recording of terrain, and he can't help much, all he can do is follow Holly and remove obstacles in front of her when needed, or run to some suspicious but dirty objects to return the accurate title.
In order to avoid direct encounters with potential enemies, Holly probably chose a relatively circuitous route of travel, but Wu Ming was not sure, because in the forbidden area, even the compass was useless, and no one in it could accurately determine the direction. In other words, if Holly had disappeared at this moment, Wu Ming would probably fall into the predicament of getting lost in an instant, and it would be very difficult to find it back.
Fortunately, Holly was very well-behaved this time, but her mood was slightly affected, and she would have a slight attack in speech from time to time, but she didn't move her crooked eyes like before, which made Wu Ming feel a lot more relieved.
When the time was close to noon, more than half of the situation in the forbidden area had been discovered, and Wu Ming also discovered that Holly had actually gone around several circles to first explore the situation on the periphery, and the next work was the focus of the pathfinding operation.
"Let's take a break." Before the ruins, Holly stood down and looked to the west, "That's the old site of the water purification plant, we have to be recuperated before we go in." (To be continued.) )
