Chapter 21: Return to the Infected Zone
In fact, the so-called secret method of entering the infected area is not as complicated as Ma Le thought, and the key is on the overpass.
The Black Watch was a secret force, and it was impossible to completely control every part of Manhattan, and soldiers generally guarded important streets with checkpoints and military bases. As for the base and the checkpoint, the infection area and the safety area are generally separated by two layers of barbed wire nearly four meters high, and the barbed wire on one side of the infected area is connected to high-voltage electricity.
Ma Le had also thought about jumping over the barbed wire before, and with his current body, he could fly over if he was lucky enough to jump with all his strength, but once he was stunned by electricity, he would have to obediently become a black watchman.
However, this power grid can not be pulled up in all places, and it may be possible to bypass high-rise buildings, but it is not possible to overpass overpasses that are several kilometers long. The Manhattan overpass is close to the sea, mainly used for streetcars, most of which are in the safety zone, but about a kilometer or so is inserted into the infected area, and the power grid passes under the overpass, and the black watch post is set up at the lower bridge entrance in the infected area, in order to prevent zombies from entering the safe zone along the overpass.
In this way, people in the safe zone can theoretically walk to the overpass of about 1,000 meters in the infected area, but they can't go down from the lower bridge. David's method is to climb over the barbed wire fence from the overpass, and then use the rope to climb down, and enter the infected area without knowing it.
The group took advantage of the night to touch the overpass, came to the pre-selected location, tied the rope, and lowered it from the bridge. The place where the rope was tied was about five meters above the ground, and it was nothing for Ma Le to jump directly at this height, so he simply volunteered to be the first to get off the bridge and test the stability for the rest of the people. The people behind him also slid down one after another, and the most surprising thing was the Franconian who looked to be over sixty years old, this fat old fellow was as nimble as a monkey, and climbed down faster than the young man.
The last to climb down was a young black man, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and small, and seemed to be a little afraid of heights. He clutched the rope tightly with both hands, and his eyes did not dare to look down, moving inch by inch.
At that moment, a light swept by, and it was the patrol of the Black Watch! The nine men in the underground were all hidden behind the piers, and only the boy was left alone on the rope. The boy was so frightened that he closed his eyes and trembled, but he didn't dare to make a sound, but he had seen it with his own eyes, these special forces in blue-black uniforms openly shot civilians without mercy!
Johnny, the black man who had provoked Ma Le before, stared at the young man in mid-air, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, Scar David looked in the direction of the light, the patrol was getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let's go, I can't control him!" ”
"Nope! We can't leave him behind! Johnny shouted softly, but was punched in the stomach by the short knife girl Isha next to him, and bent down in pain. Isha took Johnny by the collar and said to him, "Quietly, do you want to kill us?" ”
"No, you can't do that, he's still a kid!" Johnny still insisted, and Isha simply grabbed him by the neck, making him unable to speak.
Ma Le couldn't stand it anymore, sighed, and said to David: "Give me thirty seconds!" Dodge out of the bridge pier and disappeared into the darkness.
The surroundings were pitch black, but Ma Le, who had strengthened his attributes, could see it clearly, it was not Black Watch who came, but three marines, these guys assisted the Black Watch operation in the city to make up for the lack of Black Watch people, but after all, they were not as well equipped as Black Watch.
Ma Le went around the back of the three of them in the dark, and absorbed one with a move to lock his neck, and the other two noticed that something was wrong and turned around, but Ma Le held a crossbow bolt in each hand and inserted it into his eye socket, and he was killed on the spot without even screaming. Ma Le pulled out his crossbow arrow, shook it in his hand and said to himself: "What kind of material is this thing, it's really strong, it's no problem to be a dagger!" ”
Solved the enemy, Ma Le simply cleaned up, picked up the weapon of the person he absorbed and put it in the backpack, took out the crossbow, swaggered back, pulled the rope and shook it hard, the young man couldn't grasp it steadily, Ma Le reached out to catch it, and found that the little ghost was still closed, so he gave him a mouth: "Wake up, it's time to stand!" ”
The boy was so frightened that he found that he had landed on the ground, and immediately collapsed on the ground. The rest of the people also walked out from behind the bridge pier and looked at Ma Le incredulously: "All killed?" ”
Ma Le smiled proudly, nodded and said, "Do you want to go and loot, the marines have a lot of good things on them!" ”
Several people cheered in a low voice, and they all ran towards the corpse, Scar David glanced at Ma Le with a complicated expression, and also followed, only the black Johnny stayed, grabbed the black boy who was sitting on the ground, touched the boy's head and asked with concern: "Are you okay, how are you?" ”
The boy was just frightened before, but now he eased up, and he also hugged Johnny and cried, Johnny comforted him a few words, turned to Ma Le with a complicated expression and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving my brother!" ”
Ma Le smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's just that I kicked you to compensate, huff, and then this!" As he spoke, Ma Le threw over a round object, and Johnny caught it and saw that it was a grenade!
"This ......" Johnny was startled, and just wanted to speak, but saw Ma Le put his finger in front of his mouth and made a silent gesture, Johnny understood, nodded and put the grenade away without making a noise.
The three of them caught up with the seven people looted in front, and the six were all happy, and the bodies of the two marines were lying on the ground, and the weapons and equipment had been looted. Although civilians in the United States can own guns, fully automatic weapons are still strictly regulated, and these two corpses are two assault rifles, which are many times stronger against zombies than pistols and shotguns.
"Strange, why don't you have grenades?" Scar David looked at Ma Le suspiciously, Ma Le didn't hide it, took out a grenade and shook it in front of everyone's eyes, and said, "I killed the person, isn't it a problem to take a few grenades?" ”
Several people are also convinced, in their eyes, grenades or something where is there an automatic rifle is good, but they don't know that now Ma Le has a special physique, and the rifle bullets cause him limited damage, and only a grenade can threaten his life, of course, he must be firmly controlled. As for the one given to Johnny, firstly, Johnny has a younger brother who drags oil bottles, and he definitely doesn't dare to offend him, and his previous arrogance is estimated to be a swollen face and a fat man, and secondly, Ma Le really likes this pair of black brothers.
Only Scar David's expression was a little unnatural, and there was a hint of jealousy and viciousness in his eyes when he looked at Ma Le.
A few people packed up and quickly went deep into the infected area, and although Johnny had received the favor of Ma Le, he still seemed to be more afraid of Scar David, and had been following him in front of the saddle and waiting behind the horse. It's his little brother who is very sticky, he thinks this yellow man is very mysterious, he must be the kind who knows kung fu, otherwise how can he easily kill two marines!
The two of them hung at the back of the line, and Ma Le also chatted with him along the way, the teenager's name is Jerry, this year is sixteen years old, is Johnny's own brother, the two brothers live in Queens, come to Manhattan to work during the day, but happened to catch the infection two weeks ago and were trapped here.
The shop where they work is in the current infected area, and the two people, who were already living very poorly, have cut off their source, and they have no place to live in Manhattan, these days the brothers sleep on the streets every day, and when the money on them is spent, they can only rummage through the garbage cans, and their lives are no different from beggars, and they decided to come to the infected area to "pan for gold" in desperation.
"Your brother loves you so much, and he can't bear to let you come with him?" Ma Le asked
Jerry scratched his head, a little embarrassed and said: "I secretly followed him, Scar David said that he only needs a powerful guy, in fact, there are not many people who are willing to go to the infected area, and there are several groups of recruits in addition to us, his scar turned out to be someone else's subordinate, and then he turned against the boss before he did it alone, and his subordinates are in short supply, even if he is like me, he wants a pistol!" ”
Ma Le was also interested in this scar David, and asked, "Has that scar been here many times?" ”
"As far as I know, he has come in more than once before, and this is the second time he has come to the infected area after going it alone, and my brother followed him last time, and my brother brought this gun back from the infected area!" Saying that, Jerry shook the pistol in his hand, "In addition, you see the woman with a knife, she is Scar's subordinate, she was with Scar before she went alone, I heard my brother say that the woman is very powerful, killing zombies with a knife, splashing blood without blinking her eyes!" ”
Ma Le looked forward, that Isha did follow Scar closely, but at this time she had an extra pistol in her hand, which should have been searched from the corpse of the Marines, as for the two rifles, Scar and another tall man, the tall man Ma Le remembered that his name was Jason, and he only had a pistol in his hand before, and he could snatch an assault rifle from under Scar, this guy is not simple.
A few people stopped and walked all the way, dodging the wandering zombies, and finally came to a supermarket. Looking at the food scattered all over the place, little Jerry couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he could see that this kid should not have eaten enough for many days.
Scar, who is very experienced, orders everyone to hide behind a few scrap cars, and he picks up a piece of gravel and throws it into the supermarket.
With a bang, the stone hit a shelf, and several pieces of goods on it crackled and fell, and several people were silent, and after waiting for about ten minutes, there was really no movement, and Scar signaled that he could go in and get something.
However, just as a few people got out of the scrap car, suddenly, a "bang" gunshot, and a man with a pistol in the team suddenly burst his head open, and the body flew backwards!
"There's someone else here!" David shouted, and as he ran, he fired a few shots in the direction from which the shots came from, and then quickly hid behind a scrap truck, and the rest of the people were also startled, and they all looked for the nearest bunker to hide.
