Chapter Eighty-One: Scouting

We took the helicopter to stop at the first supply point first, when Qi Yuhang was busy refueling the plane, Rocky and I observed the surrounding environment, to be honest, Qi Yuhang and Lu Fengqiu chose a place that is still very discerning, this is a remote abandoned mine, although it is dilapidated but it is safe, surrounded by verdant mountains and forests, only some simple buildings in the mountain col, choosing here to store materials can not only shelter from the wind and rain but also will not attract zombies, And not far away a bombed cliff can be used as a very haode marker, it is easy to find this place in the air, it can be said that this is a natural refuge, but it is too remote to replenish is not easy, it has become a shortcoming that is difficult to make up, and it can only be used as a temporary supply.

"The oil is ready, let's go." Rocky and I were assessing this place when Qi Yuhang's shouts came, and the two of us could only walk quickly to the plane, and with the roar of the engines we set off again, looking at the watch, we had been six hours away from home.

The second landing is at the second supply point, which is different from the first supply point, it is an unfinished high-rise building, although it is only more than 30 floors high, but fortunately, the roof area is large, enough for helicopters to take off and land, but the building is surrounded by a community that has been built, so I and Rocky are very worried that this place will be attacked by zombies, but I took the binoculars and observed for a long time, only to see some scattered zombies did not find a large group, then I also understood in my heart what kind of place this is.

However, Rocky looked at it for a long time and seemed to have no idea, put down the binoculars and asked me, "Why are there so few zombies here?" Did they all run away somewhere else? ”

I smiled and said, "Didn't you hear about ghost towns in the army before?" ”

"Ghost town?" Rocky repeated it suspiciously, and then suddenly realized: "Is it one of those overdeveloped communities that can't be sold?" ”

I nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I thought you didn't care about anything in the army, this should be the legendary ghost town, I didn't expect that the price of the house rose all the way at that time and there was such a community that couldn't be sold, I really don't know what to say." ”

Rocky shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Power and money are just a passing cloud, and those guys who called for wind and rain and fine clothes and food are now nothing, only a useless stinky skin bag is left." ”

I looked at the sunset gradually setting in the distance, and said with emotion: "What you said is very right, people are like this, you don't look down on the essence of things until you reach the juncture, but what can you do when you see it clearly at the juncture of zuihou?" We don't even have the power to struggle when we die, so we are lucky, at least we are alive now and have the capital to continue living. ”

Rocky stroked his hair and said with a smile: "Maybe tomorrow we can see the same shijie as before, if there is really a human settlement there, it is likely that order has reappeared, we may be discriminated against when we first arrive, what will we do then?" ”

I smiled coldly and said, "I said when I came out, we have to fight for the best interests for ourselves, I am no longer a rookie who has just debuted, if those people really want to suppress me, I don't mind singing a fire and Wang Lun drama for them." ”

Rocky nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm afraid that you will be soft-hearted, and now I see that it is superfluous, but I didn't expect it, you have made a lot of progress in the past few days when I went out." ”

Looking at Rocky's shaking of his head, I couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Don't pretend to be a big clove of garlic with me, don't be cowardly when you kid arrives, killing people is not the same thing as killing zombies and ogres, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." ”

Rocky smiled and said: "Anyway, I am also from a special forces, and there are still a few lives in my hands, so you don't have to worry." ”

Rocky obviously didn't understand what I meant, and I had to explain to him very seriously: "You have killed people who deserve to be killed, and in the future we may have to kill some people who should not be killed, or even innocent people, for the sake of a bite of food or a little power, and then I hope you will still be on my side as you have always been." ”

Rocky was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard my words, he looked at me in disbelief, but when he realized that I was not joking with him, he turned his head and thought carefully for a while, and said: "We are brothers who live and die together, no matter what happens, I will stand with you, I will be the sharpest knife in your hand, I will kill wherever you point." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cheng, brother, when the time comes, we will fight out a piece of the world and create a happy home for the people we cherish the most." ”

We rested for the night at the second supply point, and at dawn we set off again, but this time we flew very carefully for fear of missing the target we were looking for, but apparently our fears were unnecessary, and after two hours of flying we saw a huge lake, like a large irregular basin embedded in the col, and at the end of the basin was a long embankment, and it seemed that our target was in sight.

I patted Qi Yuhang on the shoulder and said, "Go around from the side and don't let them find out." ”

Qi Yuhang nodded and replied, "Understood." "Then we flicked the joystick, and the plane flew diagonally to the side of the lake, and we found a flat place on the north side of the lake, about five kilometers from the dam, landed, and then took our equipment and felt towards the dam.

This time Rocky and Pony brought back a lot of useful equipment, these are special reconnaissance equipment we brought out, what micro drones, long-range monitors are rare good things, weapons they didn't get back much, mainly a "Vulcan cannon" and Rocky's large-caliber sniper rifle brought to me, the rest is more bullets, as for heavy weapons they didn't bring anything, but these have made our original scarce equipment have been greatly supplemented.

We quietly touched a hill about 700 meters away from one end of the dam, and set up an observation post here, although it can only monitor the situation on one side of the dam, but it can fully meet our needs, Qi Yuhang first released the miniature reconnaissance plane, only the palm size function is relatively simple, there is only one video head, but the victory is not easy to be found in the small size, and the function has also been greatly improved under Qi Yuhang's modification, Rocky set up the monitor, and after some debugging, the sound came through.

"It's so boring, and it's not fun, and now I'm just doing it, and I don't know when it's going to be a head." A voice that seemed helpless came.

"Okay, brother, it's a good thing to be alive now, you don't look at how many people died after the heavy rain a few days ago, I thought that staying here would at least save my life, but now I look at it...... Leave it to fate. Another voice revealed a very important message.

"What are you saying we are doing here? Isn't that a toss for people? Just look at us as new bullies? The first voice was a little indignant.

"I don't know, if you don't ask those old people, just let Haode guard it, and say that you will know when the time comes, maybe it's just to give us a dismount, don't think about it, whoever lets us be newcomers, let's suffer a little loss." The second voice said.

The two men who spoke were standing in a sentry box set up on the edge of the dam, their faces were covered and they couldn't see their faces, but from the way they dressed, they obviously had experienced a lot of hardship, and their weapons turned out to be a shovel per person, which looked quite funny, but their conversation provided us with two important information, one was that this place had also experienced heavy rains, and the other was that it was indeed taking in survivors.

I whispered to Rocky, "It looks like they've been affected by the heavy rain here, too. ”

Lodge laughed, "Don't be so careful, they can't hear at such a distance." ”

I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that I had used the listening equipment to hear the other party's words clearly, and it was impossible for the other party to hear our voices, and secretly scolded myself for being a thief, but my mouth was hard-mouthed: "Isn't it that I haven't done this sneaky thing, and it's good next time if I don't have enough experience." ”

Rocky pointed to his nose and glared, "I often do sneaky things, don't I?" ”

I smiled and said, "I don't do it often, but it's better than me." ”

Rocky glanced at me, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the dam, I pushed him and said, "To be serious, if this place is also affected by the heavy rain, it means that they are at least first-order evolutionaries, then our strength advantage will not be so obvious." ”

Rocky put down the binoculars and nodded: "Yes, now it seems that our advantage is not so obvious, if we join in, we may have to be a man with our tail between our legs in a short period of time." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Yuhang, who was operating the drone on the side, said without raising his eyes or opening his eyes: "Even if they all evolve, do they understand the theory of evolution?" Can they use their abilities? We have a calculation or not, and we will eat them when the time comes. ”

Rocky and I looked at each other, and sighed lightly, it was really shameless to let this kid take the lead, but fortunately he was concentrating on maneuvering the drone and didn't notice our embarrassment, and the two of us also pretended to be okay and observed the activities on the dam, in fact, it was the morning, and there were no people on the dam at all, only some sentry posts walking around, but just like that, we saw at least 20 people, which made us really believe that this was a human settlement, And these people are normal on the surface and should not be something like "ogres".

"Brother Fei, Brother Luo, look here." Just as Rocky and I were observing the situation on the dam, Qi Yuhang pointed to the screen and greeted us.

The two of us leaned over to see that there were some children on the screen, they should have run to the top of the dam to play, the number was about a dozen, but the micro drone perspective was too small to provide us with a panoramic picture, so we could only watch it, which was originally a very common thing but soon we found out the problem, these children were obviously divided into two groups, one group was clean and tidy and very lively, and the other wave was dressed in shabby demeanor and movements, and it seemed a little awkward, After a while, those neat children obviously began to bully the other group, and the other wave of children obviously did not dare to resist, although it was just a play between children, but it also showed that this was definitely not a paradise on earth.

"Brother Fei, what do you think?" Obviously, Qi Yuhang was asking me what to do after I came back.

I smiled and said: "This is a good thing, when the time comes, it will be much easier to pull a gang and fight a gang, I don't know if Guo Jiaming and they have arrived, and it will be easier to join forces with them when the time comes." ”

Rocky groaned for a while and said, "It's good to pull a gang, but what if you don't accept it?" ”

"If you don't convince them, you will kill them." I held the binoculars and observed the dam while saying nonchalantly: "Anyway, I won't let Lele and Chen Xin be bullied." ”

Luo Qi and Qi Yuhang didn't ask any more questions, we silently recorded the basic information and personnel of the dam at this observation post, and found that there were about a hundred people in the power station, and the organization was quite tight, but no weapons and equipment were found, but I saw some people with rifles, but the number was not much, but the people here seemed to be on guard against something, which made us feel very strange, the mountains and rivers here don't look like there is any danger, And it's been a day, we haven't even seen a single zombie, I really don't know how nervous these people we're doing.

"Look what's on the other side of the dam by the lake." Rocky put down the binoculars and said, "It seems to have been added later, I don't know what it is for." ”

I raised my binoculars and looked at the edge of the dam, and sure enough, the entire edge of the dam seemed to be welded with a lot of steel bars, and they were all sticking out towards the lake, and these steel bars were connected to a steel tower located in the center of the dam, and we had been focusing on the observation of people, until now we realized that these things are not what a normal dam should have, and it is obvious that they were all built later, as for what these things do, it is a little puzzling.

"Do you want to scratch your tongue and ask?" Rocky asked me after dark.

I shook my head and said, "It's still not necessary, after all, we have to deal with it in the future, and now we can't be caught and killed, it's not easy to deal with, we will observe it tomorrow and go back for another day." ”

Rocky nodded and didn't speak, this night we camped at this observation post for a night, the next day before dawn suddenly a rush of whistles and chaotic shouts woke us up, we thought that people found out, they all rushed up and entered the combat post, but when we were in place, we found that it was a false alarm, the sound came from the monitor, we were simply scared of ourselves a false alarm, just when my heart just calmed down, Qi Yuhang shouted with a little horror: "Look what it is!" ”

Lodge and I quickly looked over at the dam, and we were both stunned to see that this was not a paradise and that it was still dangerous.
