Chapter 53: An Opportunity Arises
Looking at the giant crocodile's languishing appearance, Lu Chen knew that in the following time, it would be a little difficult for it to recover, and it was likely to return to the nightmare space and let the main god treat it, so that it could recover its combat effectiveness.
After observing the giant crocodile's injury, Lu Chen raised his head and found that the other people looked at Lu Chen's faces a little strangely, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.
Seeing them like this, Lu Chen asked directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
After Lu Chen opened his mouth to ask, several other people looked at each other, and finally Guo Jia looked at Lu Chen's face, stood up, and said slowly: "Sir, do we really want to continue to go deep into the hinterland?" I think it's a little safer in the wild. ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that Lu Chen was not too angry, Guo Jia continued to speak: "Although the wild is a little dangerous, we can deal with wild wolves, ground insects, and vultures, and where the wolf king died, we can safely spend a period of time, and the place where humans gather is too dangerous." ”
His words made Lu Chen sigh slightly, these contractors had already realized the difficulties of the human gathering place, they didn't want to continue to wander, they wanted to return to the wilderness.
It's no wonder that they, in the wild, although Lu Chen and them are also in danger, whether it is a wild wolf or other beasts, the power is not as strong as the zombies, and the wild wolves are only hundreds, thousands, at most.
And the zombies in the human gathering place are all calculated in tens of thousands, tens of thousands are less, 100,000, and millions are not too much.
As soon as there are more than 10,000 people, mountains and seas, so many zombies will waste a lot of time just to slaughter, and they can only flee in that town just now. The endless stream of zombies made it impossible for them to kill them at all.
"If it was any other mission, we would be a little safer in the field. But now it's a survival mission, don't think about having a safe place. Only by moving forward can we survive. Seeing that others were still a little reluctant, Lu Chen was also a little helpless.
If he hadn't experienced a survival mission, Lu Chen would have taken refuge in the wilderness, and he wouldn't have thought of taking the initiative, after all, the wilderness seemed much safer than the city.
But in the last survival mission, the consequence of dodging was that most of the contractors died there, and in the end, Lu Chen still took the initiative to break the situation, and this time Lu Chen must take the initiative.
"Don't worry, I've signed a contract with your team. If you die, I will also suffer, and I will not harm you. ”
In the end, Lu Chen still gave them a little comfort, and the last sentence made them relax a lot, and they didn't say anything more, and continued to move forward with Lu Chen, but their morale inevitably decreased.
Although their morale was a little low, fortunately, along the way, Lu Chen and the others did not encounter any more danger. Although they had been detouring for an extra hour, they finally approached the base on the map.
By this time, the contractor had abandoned the giant dogs, and all the ordinary people nested behind a large rock, using the snow maiden's ice mirror to look at the situation of the base in the distance.
Because Lu Chen and the other contractors had long felt that there was something wrong with that base. So they didn't go straight to the gate of the base at the first time, but dispersed the giant dogs when they were about to approach. Walked to the back of the rock and peeked through the Snow Maiden's ice mirror.
The place where they were located was not too close to that base, so to speak. This will ensure that no one in the base will find out.
The current Ice Mirror does not yet have the ability to penetrate entities, therefore. Lu Chen could only see the situation outside the base, there were a few ordinary people wearing quite high-end equipment walking back and forth in place, as if they were patrolling, and Lu Chen couldn't see anything else.
This base was built before the zombie outbreak and originally existed as a secret base, so the main body of the base is on the mountain and underground, and there is nothing on the surface.
After observing the base for a while, and seeing that there really couldn't be more places to observe, Lu Chen asked those ordinary people to come close and let them see the situation in the mirror.
As soon as he saw that there were other living people in the mirror, the deputy of the mercenary captain had an undisguised expression of joy on his face: "There are really people alive, we are saved, and there is still fire left in the human race." ”
Seeing his performance, Lu Chen already understood that it was impossible for him to know something, otherwise it would not be this expression.
However, Lu Chen understood the reason for his excitement, although he learned from the radio that there was a base here, but they were not sure for a long time, they were afraid that it was just an illusion, and they ran here from a distant place because they were desperate.
After traveling hundreds of kilometers, he finally reached his destination, and when the base really existed, he finally couldn't hide the joy on his face.
At this moment, he wanted to stand up from behind the rocks and ran over there.
But before he could move, he was pressed down by the iron man next to him, and he couldn't move.
This made him look at the iron man with some puzzlement: "What do you want to do, we have to hurry up and ask them for help, everyone is still behind." ”
As he said this, his face was a little anxious, obviously worried about his companion hiding in the cave.
After this mercenary team went through a rebellion, the people who were left behind were people who really thought about the refugees, such people were quite noble, but they were not what Lu Chen needed.
It's just that now is not the time to turn on this mercenary: "Don't you feel that something is wrong with this base?" ”
"What's wrong?" As he spoke, the mercenary also took a closer look at the base in the ice mirror, but there were only a few ordinary soldiers outside, and he couldn't see anything more.
"You received the signal from a long distance, which means that the signal spread by this base is far away, you can receive it, there should be other people who can receive it, and the one who is close should have arrived a long time ago, but now you see, there is no one outside, this is obviously not normal."
"Also, if you look at the equipment of those people outside, it doesn't look like the equipment of the army can be equipped at all, they are not from the army, and there is definitely something wrong with this base."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, the mercenary deputy captain didn't believe what Lu Chen said, but argued with Lu Chen: "It's possible that the people who came earlier have entered the base, after all, it's too dangerous outside, and these troops may also be special forces." ”
It's just that his words made Lu Chen scoff: "Danger, don't you want to think about it, the closer we get to this base, the fewer zombies we get, and there is no one outside the base gate, what danger is there in such a place." ”
"They may have been frightened and hid inside." Even if what Lu Chen said was reasonable, the vice captain still argued again, this was already their only hope, and he didn't dare to imagine how he would live his life in the future if it was not safe here.
The hope of survival made him ignore some dangers, and when he saw what Lu Chen wanted to say, he said directly: "Anyway, they are human beings like us, and no matter how dangerous they are, they are better than zombies and beasts in the wild." ”
By the time he said this, a pleading expression had appeared on his face.
It's just that Lu Chen was indifferent to his pleading expression at all, and just let the iron man suppress him and prevent him from acting rashly.
When Lu Chen was arguing with the vice-captain, another mercenary also moved, wanting to rescue his team members, but a group of contractors had been watching him for a long time, and as soon as he had the idea of moving, he was stopped by oak.
Even if injured, the quality of the contractor is not something that ordinary people can resist.
Just restrained these two people, Lu Chen was also a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be rough with them, just when Lu Chen was thinking about how to find out the informed characters hidden in the team, the old man next to him saw Lu Chen's dispute with the mercenaries, sighed, and finally spoke.
"Mr. Scorpion is right, this base is indeed not a military base."
His opening silenced the two mercenaries who were struggling, their bodies seemed to have lost their strength, and they looked at the old man with some despair, and asked in a bitter voice, "Professor Yarman, ...... you." ”
Professor Yarman? The education is quite high, so I should know more information like this.
Slightly motioning for Iron Man to put down the vice-captain who was already a little desperate, Lu Chen followed the vice-captain's words and asked directly: "Professor Yarman, you know what it is, right?" Can you tell everything? ”
Seeing that the professor was a little hesitant, Guo Jia said directly: "Think about those ordinary people in the cave, this matter is not only related to the lives of a few of us, but also those people in the cave, if it is a dangerous place, you are just letting them all go to death, they have always been good to you, escorting you all the way, they don't know how many people died." ”
Lu Chen's protection along the way finally played a role at this moment, and Guo Jia's words made the professor not hesitate and say everything.
"This is indeed a base, but it is not for the military, it was built by the umbrella company."
"Umbrella Company, no matter what company it is, can he keep us safe?" The vice-captain was not a person who knew about the plot for a long time like the contractor, and he didn't know anything about all this, so he was still concerned about the safety of the base.
If you can protect them, it doesn't matter if it's a state or a large company.
It's just that Guo Jia quickly broke his illusions: "Umbrella Company, I heard some information at the beginning of this disaster, and it seems that this disaster was sent out by Umbrella Company." ”
Guo Jia's words made the vice captain fall into an ice cave, and he looked at the professor tremblingly and asked, "Is all this true, this disaster was really caused by that umbrella company." ”
Under the pressure of the vice-captain, Professor Yarman nodded painfully. (To be continued......)
