Chapter 135: The Big City
After the matter was decided, we all began to prepare separately, and the first wave set off was a reconnaissance team composed of Meng Hu, Han Bing and Wang Kai, and the three of them brought very few things. In addition to weapons, he brought a radio, and now this is the only thing that can support long-distance communication, and he originally wanted them to bring more equipment, but Meng Hu refused, in his words, the less things they bring, the more neat the work.
After seeing off the three men, we also began to prepare what we would use to set off, this time aiming for a large city about a thousand kilometers from the dam, which is home to millions of people. It can be said that the test we are facing in this operation is unprecedented, you must know that there are not only many ordinary zombies in such a big city, but there may be more mutant zombies in the future, not to mention that we have no way to conduct early reconnaissance there, so the danger can be imagined.
In order to ensure the safety of our group, Guo Jiaming tried his best to help us prepare supplies, but the helicopter we used had a limited load, and we couldn't bring anything other than some necessary equipment, so Guo Jiaming and Rocky finally finalized what we wanted to bring after some careful selection, including a small drone, night vision equipment, a modified 12.7 mm revolver, a 35 mm grenade launcher, some light weapons and various ammunition, plus a lot of food, Two barrels of jet fuel were also hoisted under the belly of the Zuihou for our return trip.
After making all the preparations, our detachment left the dam on the morning of the third day after Meng Hu and their departure, after the plane took off, Qi Yuhang was naturally in charge of driving, and the pony sat in the co-pilot seat next to him as the navigator, after all, we can no longer use satellites or other equipment to do this kind of remote navigation, we can only use the simplest way compass with maps. Flying is to check the direction while referring to the markers on the ground.
After about four hours of flying, we finally saw the outline of the city through the porthole, and from the air it was really a huge city, with rows of buildings shining faintly in the sunlight, and it should be said that the quality of the air had improved dramatically in the six months of the destruction of human civilization. In the blue sky, only snow-white clouds drifted in the wind, and the city below the sky was so quietly lying on the earth, although it had lost its former vitality, but it had another quiet beauty.
"Go around to the south, where there's the closest passage to the underground command center." Seeing that the destination had arrived, Ouyang Lizhi lay on the front seat and shouted to Qi Yuhang.
"No, we landed in the high-tech zone in the west, where we have what we need, and when we get what we need, we will find your command center." Qi Yuhang unceremoniously rejected him.
Ouyang Lizhi turned his head and looked at me with a questioning face after listening to Qi Yuhang's answer, and I could only shrug my shoulders and say, "Now he is the captain." I can't help it. ”
Seeing that things could no longer go as he expected, Ouyang Lizhi didn't argue anything, just sat back in his seat and smiled self-deprecatingly: "My biggest mistake was to lose all my secrets. ”
I leaned over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I found that your expression has become much richer recently, keep working hard, I believe you will become more and more like a normal person." ”
"I hope so." Ouyang Lizhi smiled helplessly.
When the plane approached the roof of a tall building, I opened the hatch and jumped out of the cabin, and after landing on the roof, I roughly checked the situation on the roof and found that there was nothing unusual here, and then cleaned all the antennas and wires on the roof that hindered landing. I made a gesture to let Qi Yuhang land, and the first thing to reach the roof of the building was the two barrels of gasoline hanging on the belly of the plane, and I untied the oil barrels against the strong wind blowing by the propellers, and dragged them to the side, and then the helicopter slowly descended.
The plane didn't wait to stop. Pony and Wen Na jumped out of the cabin and defended themselves on three sides with me, and when the plane stopped firmly on the roof, Qi Yuhang and Ouyang Lizhi jumped out of the cabin, and we used steel cables to hang oil drums to fix the plane to the roof. This will prevent accidental damage to the plane in bad weather, and if that happens, we will be miserable.
"Did the astronauts find a passage?" When I was ready, I stood on the roof of the building and took a look. I saw that many zombies were attracted by the helicopter and gathered downstairs in dense numbers, and some even began to climb along the outer wall of the building.
"Yes, but we can only go down to the underground parking lot through the building's main elevator shaft, and then find the elevator shaft leading to the lab, so we can go down to the underground lab." Qi Yuhang looked at the computer and said helplessly.
"Hell, these labs like to use separate elevators, and they all like to be built underground." I complained.
"Because of this high safety factor, and the underground humidity and temperature are relatively easy to regulate, and the most important thing is that it can prevent earthquakes and air raids." Ouyang is determined to be a good comrade who likes to answer questions.
But I ignored him, turned to the pony and said, "Open the rooftop door, let's hurry up." ”
"Yes" the pony agreed, ran to the rooftop door and listened carefully to the movement inside, then pressed a piece of explosives on the doorknob, hid to the side and pressed the detonator, "bang" The door lock was blown up, the pony returned to the door, I immediately followed over with a minigun aimed at the door, the pony and I looked at each other and reached out and gently pushed open the rooftop door, after making sure that there was nothing inside, I gestured for Wen Na and them to come over.
I took the lead and walked cautiously down the stairs, followed by Qi Yuhang, Wen Na, and Ouyang Lizhi, and the pony only came in after everyone had entered the building, and he also fired a few incendiary grenades at the building next to him with a grenade launcher before entering, allowing the flames to lure the zombies downstairs away. Then we ran into the rooftop door, and after the pony closed the rooftop door, the corridor was instantly dark, and in such high-rise buildings, the stairwells were often windowless, so we had to wear night vision devices.
"Xiangxia walks on the first floor, and there is an elevator in the door on the left." Qi Yuhang whispered behind me.
I nodded and walked softly, when I turned the corner of the stairs and saw the light coming in through the door of the stairwell, I quickly turned off the night vision device, quietly walked to the door, looked out carefully, and found nothing abnormal, I gently opened the door on the left-hand side, and our group entered the corridor. Sure enough, there was an elevator not far from the stairwell.
It's just that the building has been out of power for a long time, and we don't know how many floors the elevator stops on, so we can only open the ladder door and take a look, but I can't see anything except pitch black below, and the pony took out a glow stick and threw it down, and found that the ladder had fallen to the bottom, and the pony shook his head helplessly: "I have to go down first to see the situation." ”
"Wait a minute." Venna stopped the pony who was about to jump off the elevator shaft and said, "I'd better go down, I have an advantage over you." As he spoke, he jumped into the dark elevator shaft.
Wen Na fell lightly towards the bottom of the elevator shaft, and after a while, Wen Na fell to the bottom, and a roar came from the elevator shaft the moment she just landed. Immediately after that, Wen Na began to fly rapidly Xiangshang, and behind her came a series of black shadows, these strong zombies climbed along the edge of the elevator shaft Xiangshang as dexterously as apes, and their speed was not inferior to Xiangshang's flying Wen Na, and even some extremely strong ones were about to approach Wen Na.
In the face of the sudden danger, Wen Na did not appear to panic, she tried her best to xiangshang and flew away, while pulling out her pistol and shooting at several zombies closest to her, as the gunfire in the elevator shaft roared, those zombies who were chasing Wen Na were shot one after another. Screaming and falling, these zombies smashed back some of the zombies that were crawling on the way.
"Ready to answer! Yuhang and Ouyang are responsible for guarding the periphery! I kept an eye on the elevator shaft, and when I saw that Venna was about to come out, I ordered loudly.
The pony was nervously watching the elevator shaft at this time, and nodded immediately when he heard my command. Qi Yuhang and Ouyang Lizhi also scattered and aimed their guns at both sides of the corridor, now what we are most afraid of is that the movement here will attract some difficult guys, but our luck seems to be very good this time, until Wen Na escapes from the elevator shaft, the corridor is quiet.
The moment when the pony pulls Venna out of the elevator shaft. I pressed the launch button with a 12.7mm minigun mounted on the handle and pressed the firing button under the ladder shaft, and with a dull and rapid sound of shooting, the zombies crawling down the elevator shaft were swept back by the dense bullets.
"Prepare them for a big meal!" I shouted at the pony as I shot.
"Okay!" Pony pulls Venna out and takes off his backpack behind him, as he pulls a high-explosive Molotov cocktail out of it. Hearing my shout, Pony said yes and threw the Haode bomb down the elevator shaft.
Seeing that the pony threw the bomb down, I quickly stopped shooting, and the zombies who had lost their hindrance began to climb frantically in Xiangshang, but before they could reach the elevator entrance, they heard a loud noise at the bottom of the elevator shaft, and then the flames rose rapidly in the elevator shaft, and the zombies who were still climbing in Xiangshang were immediately engulfed by the rising flames.
"Get out of the way!" The pony shouted and ducked down the stairs, and we quickly clinged to the wall to avoid it.
"Whew"
The flames spewed out of the open elevator door with fragments of corpses, and the temperature in the corridor rose a lot in an instant, but the flames came and went quickly, only disappearing in an instant, leaving only a scorching heat and a burnt smell in the air. When we turned around, we found that the wall facing the elevator door was already pitch black, and there were still a lot of oily flesh running down the wall to the ground.
I rubbed my nose in vain trying to get the bad smell out of my nose, but it turned out to be completely useless, I had to endure the pungent smell and walked to the elevator shaft to take a look, now in the elevator shaft except for a few pieces of meat hanging on the wall of the shaft slowly burning, I no longer see anything moving, I turned to Wen Na and said, "I'll go down first, you pay attention to vigilance." ”
After saying that, I took a step forward and jumped into the elevator shaft, at this time the elevator shaft was filled with high temperature and bad smell, I stepped on the wall of the shaft twice to slow down the inertia of the descent, but the oily feeling on the foothold was really not good, when I reached the bottom of the floor, I found that the elevator was falling, the whole elevator has disintegrated, and even the elevator door fell apart because it could not withstand the huge momentum.
This is also the reason why Weishenme Wen Na was found and attacked by zombies as soon as she reached the bottom floor, if I had known that this was the case, I would never have let Wen Na take the risk, but I can only regret it in my heart, at this time, the fire outside the elevator is not dark, but there are some figures in the firelight that keep moving this way, it seems that the pony's "feast" has not eliminated all the zombies here.
I carefully walked out of the broken elevator with a minigun, but before I could attack the remaining zombies, my feet tightened, and then there was a "click" sound, and I looked down to see that it was a zombie that had been blown up and flesh blurred hugged my left foot and took a bite hard, if it weren't for Qi Yuhang's full-body light armor for me in order to prevent me from being naked in the battle, including a pair of steel boot covers, I think I would probably have been hit.
I shook my head in frustration, shook off the zombie that was still biting my ankle, and slammed his head off, but by this time the zombies who had survived had spotted me, and they screamed and lunged at me, but now I wasn't the one they could attack, of course, accidents. I jumped through the gap between them.
I ran back and forth in the entire underground parking lot, exposing it from time to time, causing the zombies in the parking lot to chase after me, and then I realized that there were really a lot of zombies here, and in less than ten minutes, there were hundreds of zombies chasing behind my ass. I can't help but think so.
When I found the entrance to the parking lot, the mystery in my heart was solved, it turned out that the roller shutter door here is still open, and there are many zombies wandering silently in the light outside the door, and a few burned cars are blocking the door, which is a bit of an obstacle to their way, but when these zombies hear the movement in the parking lot, they are active, they roar, scrambling to climb from the broken car racks and rush into the parking lot.
Seeing that I was about to be surrounded by these zombies in a small area, I suddenly saw a messy car in the parking lot, and immediately I had an idea, I hung the minigun on the bullet box behind me, escaped from the zombies, and then grabbed a car and threw it at the parking lot door.
"Bang" loud sound, the car smashed the parking lot door of the broken cars, not only blocked the door a little but also smashed some zombies that were rushing in below, I saw that this trick was effective, so I threw the car over one after another, until the door of the entire parking lot was completely blocked, I pulled the zombie dragon behind me to the door, I jumped on the car pile and took off the revolver behind me.
By the little light that came through the pile of cars, I saw that the zombies, whether they were new or had been following me, were frantically lunging towards me, but by this time they were no longer a threat, I pointed my gun at them and pressed the fire button, and the three 12.7mm barrels were rotated by the motor, and then a foot-long tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle.
The zombies that rushed up with the dull roar of the revolver were torn apart by the thick bullets, and in less than ten seconds, there were no more zombies in front of me who could stand up, and the zombies that were blocked out of the car convoy were frantically ramming into the obstacles that blocked them, but their messy impact was completely unable to shake the tons of steel piled up.
"It's safe down there, come down." Looking at the broken corpses on the ground, I took out the receiver and said. (To be continued......)
PS: Let me tell you two things, the first thing, I never use place names in novels, because I don't want everyone to sit in the right seat, so I hope you can forgive me for the inconvenience it causes. The second thing, when uploading chapters, the article can't be segmented, and I have to start with a new score every time, which has made me almost collapse.
