Chapter 721: Steel Remnant
Gu Wei was lying on the stretcher thoughtfully, and she suddenly said, "Please Captain Sun come over." Zheng Fen was stunned, but still called Captain Sun as he said.
Gu Wei looked at his "formerly" old boss and said gently: "Captain Sun, you know, although I am a captain, I am a professional officer, and I am far inferior to you in military affairs, you see, what should we do next?" ”
Zheng Fen's eyes protruded from the side, and he shouted regardless of discipline: "Captain Gu......"
Gu Wei raised his hand: "Sergeant Zheng, I only know one thing, Captain Sun has proved with his actions that he is our comrade-in-arms, no matter what he is...... I trust him all. ”
Zheng Fen was silent, Captain Sun was still expressionless, and he said to Gu Wei: "It's great that you can come to your senses, my suggestion is that we immediately rush to the petrochemical industrial park, use the equipment of the guards there to get in touch with the mother ship on the high seas, return to the ship as soon as possible, and then we will go home to the park." ”
Whether it was Gu Wei or Zheng Fen, as well as the soldiers who were listening with their ears on the side, they were all stunned, and Gu Wei muttered: "Go home?" Go home? ”
Zheng Fen finally came back to his senses: "What? You mean let's be deserters? Don't forget, so many of our brothers died at the hands of Yashan and the base! You yourself said that the leader of the base is actually a smart corpse, and the base is called a survivor group, but it is actually a demon cave controlled by a smart corpse, who knows how those smart corpses kill humans in secret, and Yashan even killed Ji Lianfeng, I, we don't avenge our brothers, so we slipped away? ”
Captain Sun didn't look at Zheng Fen much, and looked directly at Gu Wei and said, "We are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the wind collection operation. Academician Zhong urgently needs these material samples in order to develop a vaccine, and the vaccine is the only mission of our homeland to build and protect our homeland. Gu Shangwei, the wind collection operation has been aborted, more than half of our soldiers have been killed or wounded, the paramotor equipment has been completely destroyed, and although there are still a few pieces on the mother ship, it is no longer enough to support a surprise attack. We have to retreat, and now that the southeast coast has entered summer, there will soon be a typhoon over the ocean, even if there are meteorological satellite images to provide warnings. Our mother ship is still struggling to fight a typhoon head-on. Not even a tropical storm. ”
"We must retreat, take the samples of materials that have been collected, and rush home to the park as soon as possible for Academician Zhong's research institute."
Gu Wei bit her lip lightly. She looked at the faces of the warriors next to her. Some of the soldiers were overjoyed when they heard that they could go home. But there were also fighters like Zheng Fen who were just as indignant, and she hesitated: "Do you want to go home to the garden?" We have only completed half of the mission goals of this trip, and the sample size is not very large. If we go home now. In case the same thing is not enough to support Academician Zhong's experiment, it means that we have to organize a new team to collect samples. At that time, I was worried that the wind collection operation had spread among the survivors - Captain Sun, you know, although there are few direct personnel exchanges between the survivors in major cities, they can still communicate through the radio, and once the wind collection operation is passed on by word of mouth, it will arouse the vigilance of the survivors, and it will be difficult for us to surprise the attack. ”
Captain Sun said: "Captain Gu Wei, if you are worried that the sample is not enough to support the test, then I can tell you that you don't need to worry--" He stepped forward, peeled off his clothes, and lifted the gauze: "I think, compared to the sample of the supernatural, my living intelligent corpse is a better research object, Academician Zhong can use my body for any experiment, and even, if he wants to use my brain as a slice, I am also willing." ”
Gu Wei looked directly at the large and small rotten wounds on Captain Sun's body, especially at the big hole in his heart, and sighed: "I understand." ”
Gu Wei turned his head to Zheng Fen and said, "Sergeant Zheng, you have heard Captain Sun's suggestion, I order all the members of the Wind Collecting Operation to march towards the petrochemical industrial park with all their might, wait, stop the stretcher." ”
The stretcher stopped, Gu Wei supported the ground and stood up, when she just got up, her body shook, but she quickly took a deep breath, tried to take two steps, and then, at the pace of a rapid march, strode forward, and waved her hand without looking back: "Let's go." ”
The soldiers glanced at each other a few times, looked at Gu Wei's back, and flashed at the short silver needle tail next to the hair on her forehead and temples - Gu Wei had been bedridden for a month, but after waking up, he strode forward like a nobody.
But all the people didn't say anything, they just followed Gu Wei closely.
At nightfall, Gu Wei and his comrades-in-arms finally followed the northern coastal line to the petrochemical industrial park dominated by Zhenhai refining and chemical industry, standing on a high slope, the soldiers looked at the industrial park under the sunset, and couldn't help but squint their eyes - at the end of the horizon, huge and incomparable oil storage tanks, pipelines entrenched vertically and horizontally, as complex and rough as a maze of oil refining equipment, exuding the beauty of large industry.
Gu Weisong sighed: "We arrived, I don't know where the guards will be." ”
Captain Sun pointed and said: "I have read the information of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical before, this company alone has nearly 10,000 employees, has its own school, residential area, and even has a special wharf, and the entire factory covers an area of hundreds of hectares. Such a large area, if the guards wanted to defend it all, it would be an impossible task at all. In my opinion, the defending troops can only choose the key points to hold, and the position is here......"
The direction of Captain Sun's finger is the refinery area that is crisscrossed by the huge oil storage tanks and pipelines by the sea.
The soldiers quickly walked through the factory precinct like a small town, the industrial park was as chaotic as any city that had experienced the catastrophe of the early days of Resident Evil, the wreckage of abandoned and burned vehicles was strewn across the road, all the shops on both sides of the street showed signs of being smashed, and some restaurants were half destroyed by violent explosions - apparently the gas pipeline had been detonated, and the crazy weeds were more than half a man tall, and ominous shaking in the grass could be seen from time to time.
Naturally, there is no shortage of zombies here, in the alleys and houses, you can see the shaking figures of zombies, and many zombies smell the smell of life that has not been seen for a long time. roared and pounced, but was immediately driven away by Captain Sun one by one.
The soldiers have been in similar scenes for a long time, in addition to raising their vigilance, there is no extra expression, Gu Wei is a little nervous, she is a medical officer, she is usually the object of key protection, it is rare to be on the front line, looking at such a large number of zombies, her own team is not enough for them to stuff their teeth. More or less cowardly. She involuntarily leaned a little closer to Captain Sun. For some reason, although she knew that Captain Sun was a smart corpse, she never had a bad feeling in her heart, on the contrary. There is an inexplicable closeness.
Gu Wei himself didn't know why he had such a strange feeling. Some of the warriors of the homeland have turned into zombies in front of her. But when she shot the other party's head, although she was a little regretful, it was more disgusted with biochemical viruses. However. When facing Captain Sun, she didn't feel like this, could it be that this is because Captain Sun is a smart corpse and looks more like a human?
Gu Wei unconsciously got closer to Captain Sun, Captain Sun glanced at her, slowed down, the two were basically side by side, Captain Sun whispered: "Don't be afraid." ”
Gu Wei was stunned: "What did you say?" ”
Captain Sun said to a few zombies who were probing their brains at the mouth of an alley: "Don't be afraid of them. He paused: "I used to hate and fear this kind of monster like you, but since I became a smart corpse, I have a special ability to sense the thoughts of these zombies, and I found that they don't actually have any terrible thoughts in their minds, the only thought is eating." In fact, zombies are omnivores, eating people, but they also eat all kinds of things, and they are so hungry that they even gnaw grass. They're not pathological murderers, they're not madmen with a desire to destroy the world, they're just a pack of beasts, like the wolves you see in the African savannah in the animal world, cannibalism, just instinct-based hunting. ”
Gu Wei frowned, and said coldly: "It's hunting for you, but it's a bloody slaughter for me, don't forget, there are more than 1 billion people in this country who died on your so-called hunting!" ”
Captain Sun opened his mouth and closed it again, and the two of them were silent for a while, and after a while, Gu Wei said softly: "After returning home, do you really want to send yourself--yourself to Academician Zhong for research?" ”
Captain Sun said briefly, "Yes." ”
Gu Wei was silent for a long time, and said softly: "You will die, this time, you are really dead." ”
Captain Sun's voice was still calm: "I know. After a while, he said: "When I received the order to implement the No. 11 operation plan, I had just finished the call with my wife, and on the other end of the phone, my wife cried and told me that my grandparents were bitten to death by zombies when they were walking in the community, and she and her son hid at home and locked all the doors and did not dare to look out the window." She cried and yelled at me to save her. But when the cell phone signal was suddenly cut off, I dropped my brick-like phone and boarded the emergency plane with my gun in my hand. Because I know that the only way to really save my wife and children is to rely on vaccines. ”
"I don't know where my wife and children are now, if they have also become zombies, but as long as they are not completely dead, there is still a chance. After I became a smart corpse, it was already clear that zombies and smart corpses are just a kind of disease, they are not really dead, they are just alive in another form, as long as Academician Zhong can develop a vaccine, even if my wife and children are at the ends of the earth, I can find them and save them. Except for vaccines, all the struggles of human beings today are in vain, and it is only a matter of time before they are infected with biochemical viruses and then mutate. ”
"As long as Academician Zhong can develop a vaccine, what is my body, and even death......
"Hell, what's going on?" Zheng Fen's startled shouts came from the side.
As soon as Gu Wei looked up, she found that everyone had already entered the factory area, and she saw that the towering oil refining facilities that she had just seen from a distance had actually become a pile of ruins - the thick pipes were full of traces of explosions, piled up in a heap, huge holes could be seen everywhere, solid metal was curled like cardboard, broken residues were all over the ground, and traces of smoke and fire could be seen everywhere.
Zheng Fen took a few steps forward, stared at a hole in a pipe, and said, "This was hit by a 107 rocket." He looked at a hole in the next hole, "This is a Type 95 rifle, and this is a ...... caused by fragments of a grenade."
Captain Sun muttered, "It's such a fierce battle, it looks like the guards here have fought with the zombies repeatedly. He suddenly stretched out and pulled Zheng Fen, "Be careful." ”
Zheng Fen was wrong-eyed. I saw a head popping out of a broken pipe, and then retracted: "So, that's a zombie?" ”
Captain Sun nodded: "Yes, that's a zombie, this pipeline has become a home for zombies, and I can sense that there are zombies crawling everywhere inside." ”
Zheng Fen looked at the dense and complex pipes, and a chill jumped behind him, fighting in such a complex environment, zombies will attack from any angle you can't imagine, no matter how brave the warriors. No matter how powerful the firepower. It can't be used here.
His palms were covered with sweat: "Damn, the guards here won't be wiped out, right?" We ran empty. ”
Captain Sun said: "It's hard to say, let's search inside, it's really not good." Let's go to the pier. Try to see if you can find a boat that can be piloted. ”
Zheng Fen also knows. At this point, I can only hold on, and it is impossible to return to the city. Finally with Captain Sun here, the biggest threat zombies can already be ignored.
The soldiers protected Gu Wei in the middle, the gun on the shoulder, aiming at the pipes on both sides, slowly moving forward, from time to time you could see a black shadow flashing behind the pipe, a pair of greedy eyes staring at them behind the metal frame, even if the soldier with good marksmanship was now full of cold sweat - if you want to shoot the head, I don't know how difficult it is. And once you are rushed to the side by zombies, the gun in your hand is no stronger than a burning stick.
The soldiers are not familiar with the structure of the park, Captain Sun also knows nothing, many passages have been blocked by collapsed buildings or burned vehicles, and even a large section of the road is completely flooded by the leaked oil, unable to settle down at all, Captain Sun had to take a detour, unconsciously, from the open avenue, into the factory area narrower and narrower passage, Captain Sun can only barely maintain the general direction of the seaside, so as not to be completely lost in this metal labyrinth.
"Damn it!" Zheng Fen saw that another section of the road ahead was blocked by the wreckage of several fuel tankers after the explosion, and when the team had to turn back, he finally couldn't help but curse - night had fallen, and the soldiers were already very tired, if they didn't quickly find a safe place to rest, they would be tired and exhausted.
He was a little impatient, shook off Captain Sun, who was leading the way, and strode forward, trying to find a way out quickly--At this moment, a black shadow flashed overhead, and a zombie suddenly jumped down from an oil pipeline across the road, and hit Zheng Fen's back, knocking him to the ground, opening his big mouth, and biting down on the back of his neck - "Don't move!" Captain Sun yelled in the back.
The sneaking zombie was stunned, but immediately opened its big mouth again - snap, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet got through the zombie's mouth and opened the back of the head. Zheng Fen wiped the corpse liquid splashed on his face, held the Type 92 pistol in one hand, and pushed away the zombie corpse pressed on him in the other hand, and got up, he glared at Captain Sun angrily, raised the pistol and aimed at him: "How did you do it?" Don't zombies listen to your command? Why did you attack me? What the hell are you trying to do?! ”
Captain Sun was just about to explain, when he suddenly shouted, "Everyone be careful! ”
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of zombies jumped out of the layers of pipes surrounding them, surrounding the soldiers, and behind them, more black shadows flashed behind the pipes of large and small calibers, and Captain Sun shouted: "Get out!" I don't care about you! ”
However, the zombies only hesitated for a moment, and immediately opened their mouths, shouting around the soldiers, stretching out their arms from time to time to scratch, Zheng Fen also saw that something was wrong at this time, he aimed the gun at the zombies who were yelling at him with his mouth wide open and baring his teeth, and asked Captain Sun without looking back: "What's going on?" ”
Captain Sun said: "It's the Zhi corpse, it's the Zhi corpse that is directing them!" ”
Zheng Fen glanced at the refining equipment that only revealed a huge and strange silhouette in the night--it was not easy to find the smart corpse from here, he asked anxiously, "Can you withstand it?" ”
Captain Sun said: "It's okay, but we can't move forward, I'm worried that as soon as we relax, there will be zombies who can't suppress it." ”
Zheng Fen knew that this was Captain Sun fighting for command with the Zhi Corpse behind the scenes, but the problem was that he couldn't help him at all - he didn't even know where the Zhi Corpse was hiding.
At this time, Gu Wei came over and said in a low voice: "We have to find a way to find out the smart corpse, otherwise, we won't be able to get out of it after spending a day and a night here, don't forget, our soldiers are not zombies, they need to eat, drink and rest." ”
How could Zheng Fen not know this truth? In fact, not to mention that other fighters, even his own gun-wielding hands, are sore, but the question is, is the intelligent corpse so easy to find? The surroundings are dark and oppressive, there is only a faint starlight, and only a silhouette can be seen from a few meters away, so how to find the cunning intelligent corpse?
Zheng Fen gritted his teeth and went to Captain Sun, who was constantly shouting and scolding to suppress the zombies who were about to move: "Hey, can you sense zombies, can you sense smart corpses?" If you can find out where the corpse is, I'll lead the warriors to kill it, and you'll be out of trouble. ”
Captain Sun said: "No, at most, I can only roughly sense the direction of the other party, and the intelligent corpse that commands the zombies to attack us should be in this direction." As he spoke, he pointed to the northeast corner. Sun Fen opened his eyes wide and tried to look over, but he couldn't see anything except large and small pipes. (To be continued.)
