Chapter 221: Infiltration
In the orchard.
Lu Li and his party reunited. The team, which was originally more than 200 people, now has less than 80 people left. And everyone is more or less wounded and tired.
They sat under the fruit trees, their heads bowed and silent, their faces full of frustration. They have been silent for a long time. No one wants to speak. The ferocity of Hu Biao last night left a deep memory on them.
It wasn't a human, it was a monster.
The frustration on everyone's faces fell into Lu Li's eyes. He didn't say much either. He already knew that Hu Biao, the strength of the transformed person, was far from being an opponent that could be defeated by a large number of people.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up. His move caused everyone to raise their heads and cast their eyes over. He looked around, smiled, and commanded nonchalantly.
"When you're rested, let's leave the area with our own people. He's not something we can win. ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Their expressions darkened, and they bowed their heads again, and fell silent again. They all knew it was the best option.
At this time, Lu Li called Xiao Wu and whispered: "Come with me, I want to ask you about something." ā
Xiao Wu didn't know why, and followed Lu Li to a few meters away. The two stopped under a fruit tree. Lu Li turned around and pretended to smile easily.
"Remember the road? Draw me a map. I'd like to go to the base and maybe find the weaknesses of the reformers. ā
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Wu replied without hesitation: "I am familiar with the structure of the base and know where to find relevant information. ā
Lu Li hesitated for a long time and did not respond. Xiao Wu saw the hesitation on his face, and smiled heartily: "Don't treat me as a burden." Without modesty, no one knows the structure of the base better than I do. ā
Lu Wei knew who Xiao Wu was referring to. He smiled relievedly, patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go now." ā
ā¦ā¦
Three days later, Lu Li and the others arrived at their destination. This is a ruin, and the once prosperous Fangshan District is no longer what it used to be. It's clearly a battlefield between humans and zombies.
"Five months ago, the 38th Army gathered forces and launched a counterattack here."
Xiao Wu looked at the ruins in the distance, his face full of gloom. He swept his gaze over the endless ruins and explained to Lu Li: "At that time, a total of three integrated divisions were assembled, and the few remaining tanks, helicopter gunships, etc. were dispatched. It's a pity that the battle completely made us lose control of the periphery. In this battle, we could only stick to the urban area and completely abandon the periphery, which lasted only a few months. But now ......"
When he said this, he shook his head with a wry smile and did not continue. He cleaned up his feelings, raised his hand and pointed to the edge of the ruins, and reminded briefly.
"That's one of the entrances to the base. Since they came along, they have helped us build our underground base. It's been going to the periphery for the past few months. When I escaped from the base, it was still a freshly planned area. Now it may have been completed and put into use. To figure out how to enter the base here, you can only manage to sneak in through another hidden entrance. ā
Lu Li nodded, no opinion. Xiao Wu beckoned, leading him all the way to the ruins with various covers. Seeing that they were about to reach the ruins, two heavily armed men in black suddenly walked out from behind a ruined wall.
The two of them hurriedly squatted down. They poked out half their heads and looked cautiously at the two men in black. Xiao Wu looked at it for a while, then lowered his voice and said.
"They're patrol squads. If there is no change, another team will show up every half hour. ā
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a blackened bus in the distance: "I don't see that bus." They walked there, and in two minutes, another patrol squad would appear. ā
Lu Li looked at Xiao Wu's gaze and knew it in his heart. At this moment, the two men had just walked over the ruined wall, about two kilometers away from the bus. He made a rough estimate in his mind, and then asked.
"Where's the entrance?"
"There."
Xiao Wu raised his hand a little. Lu Li followed his fingers, and his brows immediately furrowed. The entrance was indeed very hidden. It is the sewer outlets that can be found everywhere in the city.
This hidden entrance was right between the remnants of the wall and the burned bus. It was about a kilometer away from the two of them. And the manhole cover has no traces of passing, still covering the entrance.
In just two minutes, you have to get to the entrance, then lift the manhole cover and drill in, and finally have to re-cover the manhole cover. It's harder than it gets. Not to mention not making much noise yet.
"Only this entrance?"
Lu Li's brows furrowed tightly, and his gaze did not leave the sewer mouth. Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly and did not speak. But his actions have already made his intentions clear.
"That's just a hard way to break in."
Lu Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and moved his hands and feet again. When Xiao Wu saw it, he hurriedly wanted to stop it. I didn't want Lu Li, but I had already gotten up and walked out of the cover.
"Wait ......"
Xiao Wu was suddenly in a hurry and hurriedly spoke out to stop him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he called out a word, the two men in black heard the movement and immediately raised their alert and pointed at this side. He had to quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.
At this time, the two men in black saw Lu Li walking towards this side, and couldn't help but bang two shots, accurately hitting Lu Li less than a centimeter from his feet.
With such an obvious warning, Lu Li stopped with interest. This distance is really a bit far. He wasn't sure he could get the first shot. But fortunately, the other party obviously has no intention of killing.
Seeing that Lu Li had stopped, the two men in black immediately dispersed and surrounded Lu Li. The two came to Lu Li more than ten meters away, looking up and down vigilantly.
At this time, Lu Li made a move. The invisible telekinesis condensed into two bundles, hitting the heads of the two black-clothed men in an instant. Suddenly, they didn't even say a word, and they rolled their eyes and fell down.
"Let's go."
Lu Li let out a low sigh and rushed forward with an arrow step. As he passed by the two men, he grabbed one of their feet with both hands and rushed towards the entrance.
Xiao Wu immediately understood Lu Li's plan. He sprang out of the cover, picked up a plank, and followed Lu Li closely. Rushing to the place where the two had fallen, he turned around and pulled the ground with a plank as he walked backwards, clearing the clear drag marks on the ground.
In less than five minutes, the two arrived at the mouth of the sewer. Lu Li let go of his hand, squatted down and lifted the manhole cover. Xiao Wu tacitly kicked the two unconscious men in black one by one. In the end, the two teamed up to make arrangements to eliminate the traces.
The whole process didn't take two minutes. After the cover-up was completed, Xiao Wu immediately threw down the plank and took the lead in drilling into the mouth of the sewer. Lu Li followed closely behind and drilled in. The manhole cover is reset, and the surroundings are restored as before, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that someone has ever been here.
The two went down a narrow sewer. Xiao Wu lay in the filthy and smelly sludge, and as he crawled forward, he hurriedly urged: "At most, in half an hour, they will find that there are two people missing." We'll have to sneak into the base in half an hour. As long as you enter the base, you are basically safe. ā
Soldiers are fast.
Xiao Wu understands this truth, and Lu Li also understands this truth. But it's easier said than done. This sewer has apparently been abandoned for a long time. The various garbage left in the past has accumulated a thick layer and occupies almost a tenth of the sewer.
With limited space and a disgusting smell in the air, it's a great challenge to crawl here. The only thing that made the two of them happy was that the sewer had been abandoned for a long time and had completely dried up. The thought of silting up a large amount of sewage in the area made both of them shudder and quickly speed up their crawling.
After more than 40 minutes, the two finally climbed through the 100-meter sewer and came to a soil hole. It's not big, and it can only accommodate five people standing side by side. The air was terrible, too, but it was heaven compared to the foul smell that had accumulated in the narrow space of the sewers.
At this time, Xiao Wu groped up and down in the dark. Soon, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly whispered, "Come and help." Here it is. ā
The darkness didn't have much of an impact on Lu Li. He could see clearly that there were obvious traces of artificiality on the earthen wall in front of Xiao Wu. He stepped forward and assisted Xiao Wu in digging up the earth wall. In a short time, the two worked together to dig through the earthen wall.
On the other side of the earthen wall was still a pitch-black cavern. There is an earthy smell in the air. Lu Li raised his eyes and looked around, and found that this was actually a square room. Except that there are no silver metal walls and floors, it is basically the same as the base in N City.
This unfinished room is not large, just over 30 square meters. It was surrounded by flat earth walls, and there was no exit. Lu was suspicious, and walked around the room without believing in evil and carefully examined it. The results surprised him. There is no exit to this room at all. The walls are indeed solid earth.
At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly opened his mouth and greeted: "Come here, the base will be on alert soon." ā
Lu Li looked back. At this look, he suddenly froze, and walked over with a wry smile. Xiao Wu urged as he struggled to lift a stone slab that was hidden by dirt.
"Hurry up, as soon as the base is alert, it will be difficult to sneak in."
The two of them worked together to lift the slate. A staircase appeared below. Xiao Wu slapped the dirt off his hands and walked down first. After a short time, the two came to the end of the stairs.
It's a metal gate. Xiao Wu fumbled for a moment, and then pressed the gate about a meter and a half above the ground. A short time later, a fluorescent code entry appeared in front of the two of them.
A faint fluorescent glow dispelled the darkness. Xiao Wu explained with a smile as he entered the password through the fluorescence: "This is one of my secret bases. I was going to convert this place into a real yĆ n room. But it's not necessary now. ā
After the password was entered, the door opened with a bang. Xiao Wula landed and walked out of the gate. The door immediately closed behind the two men. At this time, Xiao Wu looked left and right, and then raised his hand to the corridor on the right and said.
"Come with me, I know there's a place where we can get the information we want."
