Chapter 174: Self-worth
These slow-moving zombies are pure targets for them, and it's easy to get a headshot. They walked at a speed like that of an old man with inconvenient legs, as if he were walking through the streets at dusk.
After dealing with these zombies, the refugees who were stuck in the hotel gradually came out of it, and some of them couldn't help but vomit when they saw the corpses in this place.
Chen Wu closed the safety of the rifle, took out the bullets from his pocket, filled them into the magazine one by one, and walked forward while loading, so he had to say hello to these people.
When the refugees saw Chen Wu and others dressed in American-style military uniforms and with the national flag on their arms, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and their expressions were full of awe. The strong performance of their group just now, these refugees can see it clearly, and they have wiped out so many zombies in less than twenty people.
"Thank you for saving us, otherwise, we would have a real headache to deal with so many zombies." A woman who looked like a leader said to them.
Chen Wu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he knew this woman, a character in the movie, named Claire.
Chen Wu thrust the magazine full of bullets into the armed belt and said, "You don't need to thank you, we're just handy." ”
A beautiful boy came up on the side, his name is Carlos, he is the captain of this survival brigade, he used to be a member of Ambrera Company, and later betrayed the company, after the fall of Raccoon City was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, although he escaped, and released evidence about Ambrera Company, but these things were denied by the US authorities, and then, a zombie disaster broke out. Carlos is naturally well-informed. Seeing that Chen Wu and the others were wearing U.S. military combat uniforms, and their mental outlook and weapons were different from ordinary people, they immediately guessed something.
"Are you soldiers fighting for the United States?" Carlos asked.
Everyone nodded, and Carlos looked at the Thunder Team again and said, "You are from the Thunder Group. I know what you wear. Does the government still exist now? ”
"Most governments still exist, and they're all at sea right now, where zombies can't go," Rivers said. ”
Carlos nodded and said, "Can you take us to the sea?" I mean, let's get the military to take refuge. ”
Christmas glanced at the refugees present and shook her head. "First of all, we can't bring so many of you, and secondly, the military doesn't raise idlers. If you want them to live, you'd better go north. Refugee camps have been built in many cold areas. There are a couple of big refugee camps in Vermont that you can take refuge in. ”
Carlos smiled wryly, "Vermont is so far away from Nevada, we can't get there through so many cities and state capitals." ”
Vermont, north of the East Coast, near Canada, has several large refugee camps that are still hosting refugees.
If the number of refugees in this group is smaller, it is better to consider taking them to the island base by plane, and then the military will send them to the refugee camp. But there are too many people, more than a hundred, and that one transport plane can't fit so many people.
"There's nothing we can do. You have to find a way to go to sea, or to the refugee camps. If you really don't have anywhere to go, find a safe place to hide and wait for rescue. Christmas shrugged helplessly, now that people are unpredictable, he won't tell these guys that their plane is parked on the national highway. Then a proposal was made to send them away by plane.
Claire couldn't help but say, "Damn, our taxes used to be all for nothing?!" ”
Hear her words. Chen Wu didn't think anything, anyway, he was not a person from the American imperialists. Now it's just doing things for them, and of course, it's also doing things for yourself. These people are scolding the US imperialist government, and he still wants to clap his hands.
"You can go to the airport, we can ask the military to send a plane to pick you up, of course, provided that you can get to the airport safely, we have a mission on our bodies, and we can't spare time to go with you." Amy said coldly.
Most of the more than 100 people are guys with little combat effectiveness, it is really hard to escort them, and the transport plane really can't carry so many people, plus they still have the task of dealing with Ambrera, where can they be with them?
"When did you get here?" Chen Wu asked.
"We just arrived this afternoon, and we're running out of fuel, so we're going to find some fuel and take it here for a night's rest." Carlos said.
"It's better not to influence each other, they'll meet Alice tomorrow...... Maybe Alice will help us deal with Ambrera later. After hearing this, Chen Wu couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking of the plot in the movie, these people were attacked by crows contaminated with T-virus, and then rescued by Alice.
The stronger his brain is, the more profound he feels about some things, and this feeling is very inexplicable, like a wonderful sixth sense, and the source of it is inexplicable. It is no wonder that the Buddhas are able to predict the future, and they are probably the ones whose minds have developed to a very high level of existence, so they can be called enlightened.
Chen Wu is sure that if Gary's brain domain continues to develop, in the future, he shaves his head, or carries a cross, saying that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha or the rebirth of Jesus, I am afraid that no one will not believe him.
Lan Mei said that those scriptures can help people practice, as long as they are appropriate, they can develop the brain domain, but human beings have gradually abandoned these things in the long course of history, and now human beings are extremely fragile, once they lose technology, they are like a child exposed to ice and snow, helpless and afraid.
Before the disaster broke out, there was a power outage or water outage, most people could not even eat, and they could not do their jobs, and human beings have become more and more dependent on technology, abandoning many traditions.
Claire couldn't help frowning: "To the airport in Las Vegas?" The city is overrun by zombies, can we get to the airport? ”
Amy shook her head and said, "There are too many of you to sit down." It had to be transported by a large aircraft. Otherwise, find your own way to the nearest port so that we can help you. ”
The nearest ports are Los Angeles and Long Beach in California, but from Las Vegas to the coast of California. There are also a lot of cities to pass along the way, and the zombies there will be even more terrifying, far more powerful than these zombies who move slowly like old men and old women.
Moreover, even if you get to the port, it is not safe, and the port is likely to be occupied by those zombies.
"Alright, so be it. We still have a task ahead of us. This is a messenger that can contact us, if you arrive at the port or airport, you can contact us, and we will ask the military to send a plane or a large ship to pick you up. Amy gave a communicator, "Turn it off when not in use." I don't think it's going to be easy to find a place to recharge now! ”
She also didn't want these people to become a burden to them, if she wanted to bring so many people, don't think about this mission, and when Ambrera Company noticed them, then this mission could only be declared a failure.
Claire took Amy's communicator and said, "Thank you." ”
"Are you going to rest here tonight?" Chen Wu glanced at the hotel and the vehicles parked outside, and couldn't help asking.
"Hmm. We're going to rest here tonight, we're tired from a day's journey. Carlos said.
Chen Wu said: "You guys have a good rest. We'll retreat first, and you'll find the port or airport as soon as possible, and you'll be saved. ”
"Okay, thank you." Carlos said, shaking hands with Chen Wu, people always have to be content. Chen Wu and the others helped the survival team annihilate the zombies and keep them alive. And such help is given, which is enough to be appreciated. If you ask for something, you will only attract the disgust of others.
Their team of survivors actually has quite enough guns and everything, but there are fewer combatants, and they don't have as many bullets to waste to train those non-combatants.
In fact, now in the last days, everyone takes care of themselves, if it weren't for seeing that there are children and women in this group of people, and those zombies are easier to deal with, they wouldn't have helped.
Although Chen Wu knew that these guys would be attacked by biochemical crows tomorrow, he didn't mean to remind them, for fear of changing the trajectory of the plot.
A small deviation can easily make the plot deviate, tomorrow they have to deal with the base of the Ambrera company, if nothing else, Alice will also do it, and then the two parties can be united.
He also has a lot of worries in his heart, if he waits for Alice here directly, and is attacked by those crows at that time, he doesn't know if there will be casualties on his side, plus Alice is a pure rotten good person, what should she do if she proposes to escort these people at that time? Although Chen Wu was sure that after meeting Alice, as long as she opened her mouth, she would definitely help, but it was difficult to guarantee that she would open her mouth to Chen Wu and them for the sake of these survivors.
Therefore, Chen Wu's idea is to follow the original plot development, these people will die ten*, although this is a bit cruel, but he still decided to do it, as a bystander, he doesn't want his teammates to be hurt again, and he doesn't want to hurt his team because of his temporary soft-heartedness. When the time comes, even if Alice comes to plead with them, they can take the rest of the people away with the transport plane.
"I can't affect the development of the plot this time, otherwise I will encounter bad things......" He felt the activity of his brain domain cells, and immediately made a judgment, "Although I am willing to save them, it is very unwise to let them become a burden and cause damage to my team!" ”
Chen Wu didn't know some of the mysteries, and he couldn't feel something special yet.
It is impossible for any country to go to war and waste resources for such a hundred or so survivors, and to send a helicopter to pick it up? That's impossible! They don't have that value, they don't deserve it.
Countries will help these survivors, but they also have to keep the damage within a certain amount, and if they exceed the control, they will choose to refuse, and lose the fighters for the sake of some ordinary refugees. It's absolutely impossible!
There are also U.S. fleets in the Pacific that can help the survivors, but only if they find a place where large planes can land, or a port where ships can dock.
In such a resource crunch, no one wants to waste enormous resources trying to rescue people who don't matter.
The importance of self-worth. In such an apocalypse, it is even more vividly reflected, and the value is not enough, only the part that is abandoned.
Chen Wu said goodbye to these people, and then returned along the same road, and these people did not entangle Chen Wu and them, because the other party was benevolent enough to do their duty. If you entangle and ask for benefits or something, it is just a self-inflicted humiliation and insatiable person, and no one will like it.
"They will die tomorrow, and many people will ......" Chen Wu silently closed his eyes. He recited the famous verse from the Bible twice in his heart, but he didn't believe it, but just recited two verses to make himself feel at ease.
Chinese always like to classify faith as superstition, faith is not superstition, it is precisely because Chinese lack of faith, do not understand faith, so the whole country will appear a little scattered, the comparison between Chinese and foreigners will seem so bad. Fawn over foreign things. In fact, why do I need to worship the West in China? Why flattery? China's culture is worth learning from all countries, and its own people should know it well. Today's young people can't tell the history of their own country, but they know the birthdays and experiences of some Korean celebrities. It's embarrassing.
If we talk about faith, in fact, * is not a kind of faith? At that time, he was a god, a Buddha, and a god-like faith. It's just that later generations have not been able to feel the kind of hardness and dignity of China under his leadership, so there is so much slander, and their faith in him has weakened a lot.
"Let's go find the car tomorrow morning. We have enough fuel, after all, we have to walk 50 kilometers tomorrow. Christmas said.
"I was thinking at first. If these people don't know what to do, we'll just grab their cars. Barney couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Then laughed.
The heart of defense is indispensable, in the past, there were many people who would take revenge, not to mention the current situation, you saved people's lives, maybe people will turn around and kill you and snatch your supplies.
Everyone returned to the plane, and the people guarding the plane asked about what had just happened, and they all explained it one by one.
"It's not early, our people take turns to keep watch, and your people should rest, after all, there is a fierce battle waiting for you tomorrow." Rivers said.
The Blade Team will have to go deep into the base of Ambrera Company tomorrow, so it must be recuperated, and the Thunder Team is responsible for these relatively easy tasks such as cleaning up the zombies on the periphery, and it is best to leave the sentry to them.
"Can you tell us how you practiced marksmanship? I mean, how do you do that kind of shooting? "Drexes couldn't help but want to know the secret of the Blade Squad's gun practice, the same people, why can they do it every shot?
Barney smiled at Drex, "I've been playing with guns since I was a kid, my dad gave me a pistol as a gift when I was eight years old, and I even held it to bed. If you play with the gun too much, you will feel like a part of your body, you can command it at will, even if you give me a gun with a problem with the crosshair, I can still hit the target with my senses. ”
Although this is arrogant, Drakes is very convinced, because he has seen Barney's supernatural marksmanship, the rifle is played well, and the pistol is so powerful.
Christmas shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm actually best at throwing knives, and like Barney, I can throw knives wherever I want." But, you know, throwing knives are still a lot less lethal than guns, so I don't use them much now. I don't have any secrets, just train hard and add a little bit of talent......"
Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Wu, he pointed directly at Lan Mei, and said, "My marksmanship was taught by her, you ask her to go, I don't know anything." ”
"Everyone's talent is different, which is why there are people in all fields of the world. Hard work is one thing, talent is also important. I also don't have any know-how, I just train hard, and we have an old Chinese saying that practice makes perfect...... If each of you can train 1,000 rounds a day, I think you'll get better soon. Lan Mei said lightly.
"It seems that talent is really important, my dream when I was a kid was to play in the NBA, but I didn't expect to be in the Thunder group. Hehe......" One of the team members couldn't help but laugh.
During the time when Chen Wu practiced the gun, his arm was about to be broken, and the recoil shook his entire arm and shoulder in great pain, and he was terrible.
As long as these people's brain domain is improved, if they work hard to train, their marksmanship will naturally improve greatly, but it is not so easy to improve their brain domain, otherwise why would there only be this group of natural evolutionaries on the entire earth? There should be more.
The Thunder Team sent three people to the outside to sentry, and the Blade Squad rested all of them, and there was no need to bother them with this kind of thing, this time the military department sent the Thunder Team out to assist the Blade Squad to relieve their pressure.
At first, I was thinking of sending Navy SEALs, but the two sides clashed not long ago and had a group fight, so I thought about it.
After a simple dinner, this time the dinner was good, it was some canned meat, the taste was okay, a hundred times stronger than gnawing on compressed biscuits.
Everyone discussed with Rivers, the captain of the Thunder team, the details of tomorrow's battle and retreat, and these things must be clarified.
"Okay, everyone rest, it's not too early, take care of your spirits, and prepare for battle tomorrow. Guys outside, remember, don't smoke at night, zombies have very smart eyes! It is said that cigarette butts burning two kilometers away can be seen. ”
The sentry outside hurriedly threw the cigarette in his hand to his feet and stepped on it, greedily spewing out the last puff of smoke. (To be continued)
