Chapter 81: The Church
After arranging these tasks, Shen Chao wanted to call Custer and go out to search the streets, try his luck, and see if he could find Alice on the road. As a result, he heard some rather interesting sounds outside one of the locker rooms. At first, he wasn't sure, but when he turned on the thermal imaging and took a look, he understood what was going on.
Before the meeting, Custer told Shen Chao what was going on with the female reporter, basically, the female reporter wanted to give them an exclusive interview, and also wanted to set up a live broadcast room in this safe area. Make a news program that has never been done before. Help her win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism.
Originally, the female reporter wanted to put the breakthrough on Shen Chao. As a result, Shen Chao basically didn't dump her at all when he was on the road at that time, so the female reporter turned her attention to Custer again. And Custer hadn't touched a woman for a long time, so what happened next made sense.
Yes, Custer was doing something in the locker room with female reporters that men love to do. Shen Chao estimated that he couldn't help it, and followed Shen Chao through for a few months, but he never found a chance to put out the fire. There was a female reporter ** at this time, and Custer really couldn't hold back.
took a look at the blurred figure on the thermal image, and the two were quite happy. Shen Chao didn't think there was anything wrong with Custer doing this, after all, since Custer crossed with him to the present, they were in the midst of intense construction and traversal journey, and neither of them had the opportunity to solve their physiological problems, and it was inevitable that they would suffocate after a long time.
Shen Chao didn't want to mess with Custer's good deeds at this time. The main thing is that what Custer is doing has affected his thinking, and he is now wondering if it is time to find a beautiful woman to put out the fire.
He silently left the locker room and returned to the headquarters under construction, grabbed his weapons and ammunition, and forcibly focused his attention on important matters. He found a map and began to mark the key areas of the city on the map. Tomorrow, he will direct the survivors to these places to transport some necessary supplies.
He then helped the officers set up 3 stations and gave several active channels in the city, including the police and some of the Ambrera emergency units. These channels are unencrypted, and officers can listen directly to them with the rudimentary equipment in their hands.
After about an hour, Custer finally appeared in the headquarters refreshed. The female reporter also came in with his arm in disheveled clothes, and the people in the command headquarters understood what was going on at a glance. Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and some people obviously didn't realize what was happening, but they all saluted Karst.
"Karst, do you still have the strength?" Why don't I go out and patrol the streets by myself? Shen Chao took his eyes off the map, looked at Custer's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, and the people next to him also laughed when they heard this, and they all couldn't help laughing just now. At this moment, he smiled, and the atmosphere in the headquarters suddenly became much more relaxed.
Custer had a straight face, as if he didn't care about the other people's teasing at all. He whispered a few words in the female reporter's ear and patted the female reporter's buttocks before leaving. Then he took his weapons and ammunition and prepared to go out to patrol the streets with Shen Chao. Shen Chao didn't continue to tease him. He sorted out his gear, said hello to the officers who stayed behind, arranged for the officers on duty at night and the officer on duty on the radio, and then he left the stadium with Custer.
The two drove an off-road vehicle on the empty streets of Raccoon City, which they had picked up on the road after leaving the gymnasium, with plenty of fuel and good maintenance from its original owner. Apart from being a bit loud in noise, there are no other drawbacks. …,
The silence on the streets made Shen Chao feel like he was playing a horror game. Since the place they were searching wasn't far away, he wanted to try the cathedral where Alice had appeared in the plot first, and although the plot had changed a lot, he was still willing to try his luck. After all, no matter how small the odds are, it's better than doing nothing.
After walking out of a few blocks, Shen Chao arrived at this small church, looking at the church in front of him, Shen Chao wondered why such a small city had such a large church, but he only sighed in his heart. He then looked around, and after carefully circling the church, he found no licker. No groups of wandering zombies were found nearby.
"The plot is very different, we may not be able to wait for Alice." Custer looked at it for four weeks and said that the situation in the city is much better now than in the movie. Listening to the sporadic gunshots in the distance, it seems that there are no zombies on a large scale.
"That's right, but we're not sure yet, I'll wait and see here while you look elsewhere." If we're lucky, we might find her tonight. Shen Chao thought about it and decided.
"Keep in touch. Custer said after looking at the surroundings. Then he drove to the neighborhood and searched for it. Shen Chao also walked to the door and pushed open the church door in front of him, but as soon as he pushed it open, he saw a row of people next to him holding guns at him.
"Hey, put your guns down, I'm not a zombie. Shen Chao raised his mouth and warned. The firepower of the HK121 in his hand is much stronger than the shotguns and all kinds of pistols in the hands of these guys. The survivors put their guns down when they saw him clearly.
Shen Chao took a look inside the church, and he didn't know why, but there were many survivors gathered in this church. There were at least 40 people in the hall alone. Many of them knelt on the ground in front of them and prayed with an elderly priest. The entrance was guarded only by a few armed men.
"Sir, you're... The guy in the video, huh? One of the skinny boys, who looked like a high school student, held a shotgun that looked like his dad or grandfather was.
"That's right, I took the video of the mansion, but looking at the current situation, it seems that it only serves as an early warning. Shen Chao looked at the architectural structure of this church and said. It seemed to it that it was simply leaky, with inadequate doors and huge coloured floor-to-ceiling windows on the walls. Coupled with the fact that it is still a multi-level structure, it is a nightmare for the defenders.
Of course, the survivors here may also be looking for psychological comfort, just look at the dozens of kneeling people over there. Shen Chao did not interrupt their ceremony, and only after the prayer was finished did Shen Chao ask about the priest's situation here. As he thought, many of the survivors came here to seek refuge because they couldn't leave the city, and there were some survivors resting upstairs.
When Shen Chao heard this, he introduced the survivors here to the safe zone they had set up in the gymnasium, and told them that they could go to them at dawn tomorrow. He will provide them with basic security. But the survivors here are apparently reluctant to move. thanked him one by one for his kindness, but they all had to find someone to discuss.
Shen Chao wasn't in a hurry, he found a bench next to him and sat down, he didn't really care about collecting the survivors. It is only out of humanitarianism that he wants to be persuaded by him, and it is not his question whether the other party is willing to listen to him.
Since there is no mention in the movie about when Alice came over, Shen Chao is going to wait here for two hours, and if there is still no result by then, he will go out to meet Custer and look for it on the road together. …,
As a result, he waited for more than an hour, and there was no movement, during which time, he talked to Custer and the base several times, and listened to several channels of the US military and Ambrera, but there was no news about Alice. Particularly strange is the fact that Ambrera's communication seems to have dropped dramatically.
Looking outside, there were a few more zombies on the nearby road, and screams and cries for help were heard from time to time in the city, but they were all far away. Not to mention Alice nearby, even ordinary survivors haven't seen it. Shen Chao looked at the time again, it was almost 2 hours, thinking that he couldn't wait for Alice here, he picked up his equipment and prepared to leave in a few minutes.
Just then, a familiar sound came. Shen Chao listened carefully, he was a licker. And more than one. Appears to be crawling on the outside wall.
"Alright, guys. Those who have weapons are brought out, and we have guests. Shen Chao warned the survivors here. Soon, a licker burst into the church through the guò window. Shen Chao fired at it with precision, and it only took about 10 rounds to knock the licker to the ground.
A few more rushed in, and there were screams of women and children upstairs. It seems that there are lickers upstairs as well. Shen Chao and several other survivors who obviously had relatives upstairs immediately ran upstairs to help, but fortunately, there was only one licker who ran upstairs, and it didn't take long for them to deal with it. Then Shen Chao took a dozen survivors upstairs down to join up with the other survivors who were fighting the Lickers.
While this is dangerous for these unarmed survivors, it is significantly more dangerous to leave them upstairs unattended. Shen Chao brought them together, stayed in a corner, pulled the AR-15 from a corpse and threw it to one of the survivors, and then turned around and joined the battle.
I have to say that although in Shen Chao's opinion, the combat effectiveness of the lickers is limited, but for these unorganized civilians in front of them, the lickers are indeed too dangerous, Shen Chao has only gone up for about 1 minute just now, and there are 4 corpses downstairs. And that's when half of the people downstairs have guns in their hands. I don't know what will happen to their firepower.
