Chapter 164: Blood-Red Tire Prints
After leaving the safe zone, the convoy slowly drove past a large area of flesh that had begun to stink in front of the gate. It had just been cleared by their drone a few minutes ago, and the ground was now covered with a large number of zombie corpses that had accumulated from yesterday to today.
These zombies were layered on the ground, more than 1,000 of them, their faces distorted and their internal organs everywhere. Red-black blood stains paved the visible pavement. A few zombies that were not yet dead were still lying in the flesh on the ground, dragging half of their mutilated bodies and crawling slowly.
The large expanse of flesh smelled rancid, attracting a lot of flies. Although it is already autumn, it is a rare warm autumn, and the temperature is not low enough to kill these flies.
The young photographer sitting in the back seat even began to tremble slightly when he saw this scene, and he held back his vomiting and did his best to keep the camera steady.
The female reporter sitting in the passenger seat was slightly better, at least she could explain the origin of these bodies to the audience in a normal voice. Shen Chao commanded the convoy to slowly drive through this extremely bloody road, until they reached a block away, their tire prints were still blood-red.
After this section of the hellish corpses, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a few squad leaders even radioed their safety, and it was obvious that everyone's mood was very heavy by this large piece of stump and broken flesh.
After driving out of the block, they drove onto one of Raccoon City's main roads. The street was in shambles, with abandoned vehicles, fallen corpses, and burning buildings all looking like they were out of the apocalypse.
But compared to the entrance of the gymnasium just now. It's very light, and the people in the convoy are obviously a little surprised. They were all on guard, and they maintained the speed of the car according to Shen Chao's command. Gripping the gun, he slowly drove towards his destination.
Their first stop was the nearest supermarket, where new water, medicine, and ammunition could be waited, but food could not. At present, the food in the safety zone can only support a day and a half, and a large amount of replenishment is urgently needed.
This supermarket is relatively large, and it is only less than 700 meters away from the gymnasium, so when the convoy comes over. There are also very clear blood-red tire marks.
After arriving at the supermarket, a group of officers immediately divided the convoy according to the prior arrangement, directing the pre-arranged combat team, and most of the vehicles stopped at the entrance of the supermarket. Combining end to end, it quickly formed a semi-circular defensive circle.
This arrangement can not only deal with the people who will soon burst into the supermarket, but also effectively defend against threats from outside the defense circle. After the convoy stopped, Shen Chao got out of the car directly and directed the officers to carry out the next action.
After the officers received his order. Half of the people in the convoy immediately left the vehicle, took the weapons in their hands, and formed a chaotic commando formation to prepare to enter the supermarket.
The other half were left in the car, all armed with spears. At this time, they all stretched out their guns outside the car to guard, and Shen Chao saw that their preparations were okay. So several squads were ordered to enter the supermarket in batches.
There are a lot of zombies in Raccoon City, and they have encountered a lot of wandering people on the road just now. Naturally, there are some in this supermarket, and it will take some time to clean up before you can start moving supplies.
It is worth noting that 5 of the vehicles in the convoy left the convoy immediately when they arrived just now, they were reconnaissance convoys, and each vehicle had an officer appointed by Shen Chao who was responsible for patrolling around the neighborhood when the main convoy stopped to collect supplies.
This is a very old tactic, because large armed convoys are like a pile of live targets when they stop operating, and after losing their mobility, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. …,
Therefore, it is a very common tactic to allocate a certain number of mobile reconnaissance forces to help the convoy to warn of dangers outside the observation range.
Although there are two drones with a very high level of science and technology to escort him, Shen Chao still arranged such a reconnaissance convoy, on the one hand, out of caution, and on the other hand, it was also for the audience in front of the TV.
As it stands, they have become authorities on chemical and biological weapons. Their actions are likely to affect people who face similar situations in the future. He didn't want to show the wrong way to the audience who was learning in front of the TV.
The female reporter and the photographer left the car and immediately began to photograph the situation here, where they now parked is a small square, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are only a dozen zombies wandering nearby.
Of course, since the convoy stopped, the zombies began to move slowly in their direction, their speed was slow, but their numbers were increasing little by little.
Within two minutes, the departing reconnaissance convoy was alerted to several lickers roaming the nearby streets and had launched an attack on them.
Shen Chao took a look at the progress, the team that entered the supermarket had just cleared the zombies inside, and it would take 10 minutes to carry enough supplies.
It is not yet possible to recall the reconnaissance convoy. So he just inquired about the safety of the reconnaissance convoy, and after confirming that there was nothing major about the other party and that he had gotten rid of the lickers, he told the reconnaissance convoy that it could choose the following route and assemble at the time as originally planned.
At this time, the people left behind in the convoy also began to shoot, and the movement of such a large convoy was not small. Zombies in a few nearby neighborhoods had begun to concentrate on them.
This was also expected, Shen Chao looked at the density of zombies, which was within an acceptable range, so he just reminded the officers who stayed in the convoy to let them control the intensity of their firepower and be careful not to waste ammunition.
The makeshift officers did a good job, directing the survivors to keep the pace of their shots and only start shooting when the zombies were in range.
Seeing the zombies in front of him being knocked down one by one, Shen Chao was more satisfied with the current effect. At least the survivors aren't shooting as indiscriminately as they did last night.
They were basically shooting long shots under the guidance of the officers, and although their gunfire was not as dense as last night, the large number of zombies in front of them fell one by one at a much faster speed.
This is the benefit of reasonable tactics and effective command, as long as they cooperate well and do not fight separately, the threat of zombies to a large number of humans with guns is actually very low.
Shen Chao listened to the orderly gunshots while observing the progress of the materials in the supermarket, but he didn't mean to go up to help at all. This operation is essentially a self-rescue operation for the survivors, and he is only responsible for directing.
If he is done directing today's operation, he will leave Raccoon City with his expedition. There is nothing they need in the city anymore.
Speaking of his expedition, Alice and Custer were not in the convoy at this time, and they were not in the safe zone. Shen Chao accepted this interview alone, but it was by no means because he wanted to accept people's attention alone.
He assigned Castel another task to them, and the success or failure of their plan today depended largely on Custer's actions. Otherwise, if the operation fails, no matter how many supplies Shen Chao leads the survivors to get today, he can't leave immediately.
Back to the present, Shen Chao is still directing the action in an orderly manner, their actions have been relatively smooth so far, and the commando team quickly cleared the zombies inside after entering the supermarket, and has already begun the tense material handling. …,
"Remember, take more meat and packaged food, don't take junk food......" Shen Chao shouted to the team carrying things, and before coming, they had determined the main target they needed to take. Naturally, high-protein and packaged foods are the best foods.
Excited or urged by the sound of gunfire, the members of the assault team sped up. They carry bags of flour, whole loaves of bread, and all sorts of food products with a long shelf life constantly going back and forth between the convoy and the supermarket. Quickly load the food onto the convoy to which they belong.
In the eighth minute, they had already got the estimated total amount of food, and Shen Chao immediately ordered everyone to get into the car. The zombies here have gathered to more than 1,000 and are constantly pushing the distance between them.
Although they can go back and forth a few more times and carry more food, it is not necessary. They still have a lot of places to go, a lot of things to pick up, and they have to set aside some necessary space for emergencies.
After confirming that everyone had returned to the car, Shen Chao immediately ordered to leave as originally planned, and the cars in the convoy started in turn and set off with him. They hadn't turned off the flame before. Soon, the convoy left for their next goal.
Their next stop is Raccoon City Hospital, which was abandoned by the paramedics during the zombie rush and is now home to the city's largest concentration of medical drugs.
The road to the hospital was quite long, and on the way, they stopped a few more times. Survivors were constantly sticking their heads out from nearby buildings to call for help, and if the other party could rush over on their own in a short time, Shen Chao ordered the convoy to stop temporarily and receive the survivors.
But the vast majority of the survivors weren't close enough to them, and there were zombies in their way, so by the time they arrived at the hospital, they had only received a dozen new survivors.
But half of the dozen survivors had cars, so their fleet was actually a little bigger. 4 new cars have been added.
After arriving at the hospital, they surrounded the door as they could, and then quickly cleared out more than a dozen zombies scattered nearby, and the reconnaissance convoy was also sent out. Shen Chao divided the convoy this time, and did not form a dense circle like in the supermarket.
Because the terrain around here is not very good. There are many high-rise buildings, and the streets are not wide. There are also more wrecks on the road. Tactically speaking, it is an easier place to ambush. (To be continued.)
