Chapter 39: Mutant Zombies Appear
Zuo Fei couldn't think of a reason for lying on the table, and before he knew it, the sky outside had gradually darkened, and the people in the police station had gone home one after another. Only Zuo Fei still sat at his desk and thought bitterly, as the local sheriff, if he couldn't find out the real culprit in time and give the residents a comfortable environment, he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway.
Zuo Fei pressed the leftover cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and when he opened the cigarette case again and wanted to take one out, he found that a box of cigarettes had unknowingly let him smoke it all. He shook his head with a wry smile and pulled open the drawer of his desk to get another box.
He rummaged through the crumbling papers in the drawer, and for a moment he couldn't find the cigarette case, when suddenly his eyes were drawn to a piece of news from the newspaper in the drawer. Although they are located in the middle of nowhere, they are also official federal civil servants after all, and they should have many benefits. Every month, a special patrol officer comes to check on their work, and then brings them some benefits and salaries from the government. Newspapers are one of them, and although many issues of the newspaper have expired, they are still a favorite thing to read in this town. Because in this remote place where there is not even a television, the only means of knowing the outside information is the newspaper other than what the businessman says.
At this time, what attracted Zuo Fei's attention was a report about living corpses, mutated zombies, intelligent, although I don't know if living corpses eat people, but everything else is very similar. If it were an ordinary zombie, it would have been discovered a long time ago, and only intelligent living corpses would evade people's search and then wait for an opportunity to attack the lone residents.
Zuo Fei was clever and hurriedly opened a locked drawer at the bottom of his desk, which was a satellite phone and the only communication tool in the town, which was used to call for help in case of emergency. And this phone also has a special function, which is that it can be dialed directly to the emergency number of the office of the Federal Minister of Security. The emergency phone in the eyewear office is used to notify glasses as soon as there is an emergency, and there are special people on duty 24 hours a day, so there is no need to worry about missing anything.
Zuo Fei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and dialed the number with trembling hands, the danger of living corpses was very clear to him in the newspaper, with their abilities, let alone killing a few people, it would be no problem to destroy them in the entire Moon Lake Town. Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's tonight, the entire Moon Lake Town may disappear from this world, but there are all his relatives and friends living here, how can he not be nervous.
The phone rang only twice, and someone on the other end was connected: "Hello, this is the office of the Minister of Public Security, do you have anything to report?" ”
Zuo Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and after trying to calm his emotions, he said a little hurriedly: "I am the sergeant of the Yuehu Town Police Branch of the Federal Police, my name is Zuo Fei, there are living corpses here in us, and 4 people have died, please ask for support." ”
"Living corpses?" The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, but soon he realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I received your report, I will contact the minister immediately, please be patient, I believe that the rescue will arrive soon." ”
After Zuo Fei hung up the phone, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he sat down in his chair, panting heavily, and the shadow of death once again hung over his heart after a long absence. Suddenly, he jumped to his feet, pulled his legs like a doorway, and stumbled to a clock tower in the small square outside the police station, and shook the bell rope in his hand desperately.
The rapid sound of the bell "bell, bell, bell......" echoed in the town, it was the bell of warning, and it was not long before the people in the houses came out one after another, spontaneously gathering in the small square. Such a scene often appears after the apocalypse, every time a zombie attack, so although everyone panicked, but not chaotic, everyone held their weapons and stood in the square waiting for Zuo Fei's speech.
Zuo Fei pointed to a young man in a police uniform below, and said urgently: "Xiao Wu, go and take out all the rifles in the gun room and distribute them to those who know how to use guns, everyone will not sleep tonight." I think you all know what has happened in the past few days, and everyone is on alert tonight, and I have informed the federal government that no one should be lazy until their rescue team arrives. Life and death are at stake, and I can't say a lot of words, and everything will be understood when the federal rescue team arrives. ”
The townspeople didn't ask why, Zuo Fei didn't say it because he was afraid that it would cause panic, so they consciously took their weapons, played 12 points, and did their job well.
Seeing that the villagers had dispersed one after another, after going to their posts according to Zuo Fei's arrangement, an old man in his 50s walked up to Zuo Fei and asked softly, "Zuo Fei, what's going on?" ”
Zuo Fei glanced back at the old man and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Town, I suspect that it is a living corpse that attacked us this time, and the reinforcements from the Federal Police Department will arrive soon, so let's talk about it when they come." ”
The mayor's face sank in an instant, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Give me a gun, I will also keep vigil, and if those living corpses want to kill the people in my town again, they must step on my corpse first." ”
None of those who have experienced the tribulations of the end and survived until now are deficient in courage, not even an old man, but also have unparalleled courage and perseverance.
The night was quiet, a breeze brought the heat to everyone, and in the silence of the night, only the chirping of countless frogs and insects, everything seemed so harmonious. However, all those in charge of the vigil did not dare to let their guard down, and after countless zombie attacks, those who were careless and negligent in their duties during the sentry were almost all dead, and only the cautious survived to this day.
Suddenly, a loud "rumbling" sound in the distance broke the silence of the night, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see that in the distant sky, three helicopters were flying quickly in the direction of the town with bright searchlights.
The helicopter soon flew over the town, and the air currents raised by the propellers blew the residents below on their backs, and in the square in front of the town hall, three helicopters slowly descended. It was only then that everyone could see clearly that these were two police helicopter gunships and a transport plane, and as the propellers gradually stopped rotating, there was a bang, and the cabin door of the large transport plane in the middle was opened, and a team of fully armed SWAT officers surrounded three black-robed men and stepped off the helicopter.
One of the black-robed men led everyone straight in front of Zuo Fei, and he lifted the hood over his head, revealing the pale but unusually handsome face inside. His face was stiff, and he didn't seem to be able to make any expressions, but after he glanced at Zuo Fei, he said coldly: "I am Xingtian of the Inquisition, and I have come to investigate the matter of the living corpse specially entrusted by Minister Ma of the Ministry of Public Security. ”
