Chapter 70: Dried Corpses
Early the next morning, Chen Wu and the others went to the armory to select equipment, this time to clean up the island, each team had to act, and the other fleets also sent people to help, Chen Wu and their elite group had the heaviest task, go up from the north shore, and then explore the road first. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|
Everyone's equipment is still a rifle and one or two pistols, as well as a practical machete, the rifle is basically selected as M4A1, this gun has high stability, and the rate of fire is also fast, although it belongs to the M16 series, but it is much better than M16, and most of the US troops are equipped with this gun as the main weapon.
Chen Wu also brought the M37, which still had two biochemical bullets left, and the two bullets were collected by Gary and now returned to him. At the same time, he also took a cartridge belt and tied it to his thigh, which had a total of ten rounds.
This time the task was heavier, so the firepower was well rationed, and everyone brought as many bullets and magazines as possible.
Chen Wu's choice is M4A1, M37, and a Glock-17, and the melee weapon is a Nepal**.
After choosing their weapons, groups of members on the task of cleaning up the island were put on assault boats by the military, which was not far from the island, only two or three nautical miles, one nautical mile was about 1.8 kilometers, and it was about four kilometers from the island.
Groups of team members got on the assault boat, and Chen Wu saw Angel, who stood on an assault boat and waved at him.
Chen Wu also nodded, and then Christmas had already started the assault boat, and the assault boat first went north, and then turned around again, so as to reach the north shore.
Speaking of which, Chen Wu was in close contact with the sea for the first time, and he was able to touch the blue water with his fingers, and he had never seen the sea before he came here. Seeing the sea can make people feel comfortable, but when you are really at sea, you have to give birth to a sense of awe, which is why in old China, those boat people had to worship the god of the sea, or Mazu every time they went to sea, and even this tradition has been preserved to this day.
The sea is so blue that he can't see the bottom at all, which makes Chen Wu feel that he is not very comfortable, a fear of the unknown.
The sea gradually lost the trace of his companions, and Christmas used his British voice to tell everyone to be vigilant, there may be zombies in the sea, and those zombies will not drown, so they can drift everywhere with the sea. During the catastrophe, many people thought that they would be safe on the island, so they relaxed their vigilance, until one day, the zombies drifted to the island, and they didn't know what innocence was.
There are several American-developed oil wells near this archipelago, from which the fuel for warships is replenished, and what kind of scientists on the combined fleet do not have now? They are all elites in various fields, able to provide all kinds of knowledge and help, so that everyone can live better.
Amy put down her goggles to block out the sunlight that was already a little dazzling, and asked, "How long will it take to get to the designated place?" ”
"Half an hour, it won't be too long." Christmas said as she looked at the charts on the meter, and then touched her bald head.
“okay! One last time you check your firearms and ammunition. Amy said as she removed the M4A1 from her shoulder and began to disassemble it.
After taking the weapon out of the armory, I tried it briefly, but it was not enough, the gun needs to be maintained and inspected frequently, and if you lose your temper, you will die. Chen Wu also disassembled the M37, put it with gun oil, and then reassembled it to confirm that it could be used before putting it away.
"Chen, are you sure you're alright? 100% recovered? Gary asked, looking down to fill the magazine.
“yep! I feel like I can kill a cow now. Chen Wu shrugged his shoulders very casually and replied.
"That's good, Uncle Gary doesn't want to protect you, we have to be careful this time." Gary said.
Chen Wu didn't have so many GP points, and if he encountered a sudden dangerous situation, it would be more difficult to deal with than before, so they had to be careful. The archipelago is not deserted, as many fragments of abandoned boats have been found around the island, and there may have been some fishermen living on the island. General West has repeatedly stressed that you should not take it lightly because it is an island, and you must be careful, because there may be mutants on the island.
“hey,guys! We're coming, there are zombies in the shallows, get ready for battle. Christmas pulled down the windscreen, squinted his eyes, and shouted.
The sound of the engine and the breaking of the waves, coupled with the fact that the assault boat was moving too fast, made it easy for the sound to be muffled and blown away, and it was necessary to speak loudly.
"Alert! Gary, you're in charge of watching for zombies in the water, and as you approach Christmas, we'll attack the zombies. Amy said.
The assault boat was getting closer and closer to the island, and Christmas slowed down the boat, dodging the reef and heading towards the shallows, where there were five zombies wandering around the shore, just ordinary zombies, not mutants.
Brian raised his rifle, and the zombies screamed at the engine of the assault boat, and pounced on it, but before they could step into the water, the old agent's rifle was already firing.
The precise burst shot caused the bullets to penetrate the heads of the zombies, bringing up the black blood that had slightly coagulated, and the white brains, and all five zombies were harvested by this old agent who was so accurate in marksmanship. The gun is covered with a silencer, and the sound of the waves here is not small, so there is no need to worry about the gunfire spreading out and attracting more zombies.
Gary said, "It's safe in the water, no zombies have been found!" Christmas, let's get ashore. ”
Christmas nodded, pulled the boat to the shore, and then everyone jumped out of the boat and stepped on the water, which was well kept out by their boots.
"These five zombies seem to have been on the island for a while now, you see, their bodies are all salted, and their clothes have been corroded to a certain extent. It seems that even if they came to the island, they did not get safe. Brian crouched down, flipped over a zombie with the muzzle of his gun, and said.
No matter how handsome and beautiful these zombies were, they still have to become disgusting after death. The Buddha said well, everything has a way, like a dream bubble; If it is like dew, it is like electricity, and it is regarded as such.
The skin is empty, only the mind endures, and in this environment, the power of the mind seems to be much more useful than the power of the body.
If you can cut meat to feed the eagle, I just don't know if you can cut meat and feed the zombies...... Chen Wu remembered the "Diamond Sutra" he had read for no reason, and suddenly had such a wonderful idea in his heart, I don't know if if he would turn into an angry King Kong if he saw this scene?
"This one is Mexican, this one is Cuban...... It seems that people from other countries have fled to this island as well. Brian barely managed to find something identifiable from them.
Mexico is on the southwest coast of the United States, and Cuba is separated from the United States by the Florida Strait.
Chen Wu squatted down, took off a watch from the corpse's wrist, couldn't help but smile, and said, "I'm still a rich man, the price of this watch is not cheap, almost 700,000 US dollars." ”
This is a Patek Philippe watch, it is a limited edition commemorative model, you may not be able to buy it with money, of course, if you have more money, then there is no problem, money and power have always been closely related, not only in China, but also in any country, and even some countries have black gold politics.
"Let's go, don't delay these dead people, when the island is cleaned, someone will naturally come to clean up these corpses." Amy said.
Chen Wu casually stuffed this watch, which could only be read in magazines before, into his pocket, because it was a mechanical watch, so it hadn't stopped for so long, because zombies would swing around, which could make the watch vibrate and produce mechanical energy. Moreover, this piece of Patek Philippe is exquisitely made, even if it is put into the sea water for a month, there will be no problems.
"What do you want this watch for, even if you give you a cart of diamonds now, you won't have anywhere to spend it." Gary said.
"Take it to look at the time, mechanical watches are always more high-end than electronic watches." Chen Wu smiled, "It's not bad to be a collector, my hobby is collecting watches, but unfortunately I didn't have money before." But now, there is no need for money, as long as you live, you can get more good collections. ”
Gary rolled his eyes speechlessly and stepped aside to see if there were any zombies around, and everyone had to make sure that the area was cleaned of zombies so that they wouldn't be turned into hamburgers or sandwiches when they retreated.
Everyone began to search for zombies near the beach, perhaps those zombies were reluctant to come to the beach, so they did not see any zombies, but found some traces left by people, such as the carvings on the stone walls, some fires that burned out for an unknown amount of time, and some materials left by damaged tents.
"No place is safe." Chen Wu said solemnly and solemnly, they just thought it was safe on an aircraft carrier, and then they landed.
If I had been vigilant that day, I would not have fallen into such a dangerous predicament.
"These people on the beach have been attacked by zombies, you see, these are scratches, and here and here, there are some pieces of bones and blood-stained fabrics." Brian was the best at deducing clues from the details, he frowned and picked up a rag and sniffed it, in addition to the foul smell, there was a faint smell of blood that could barely be smelled.
"There's a corpse there! Exercise! It's disgusting, it looks like it's been air-dried......" Christmas scolded, finding a dried corpse behind a reef.
Brian's brow furrowed slightly, there seemed to be something wrong with this dried corpse
