Volume 1 Section 67 Chance Encounter

He was in dire need of ammunition.

Food and clothing can be slowly scoured from the city, and turnips and cabbage have already been harvested in the fields near the camp. There are still plenty of potatoes and wheat stockpiled in the warehouse, enough for the whole team to eat until next fall.

Pick up a box of heavy 5s. 8mm rifle bullets, Su Hao exuded a strong masculine charm in the corners of his eyes, and a slight smile appeared.

When he handed over the observation notes to Wu Guoguang, he never thought that Xiao Lin's special factor would emerge.

According to Su Hao's original idea, the military should give him a certain low-level military rank as a reward. The greedy woman was obviously not getting what she wanted, so she calculated to suppress her military promotion order and change it to a lower-level researcher.

In the eyes of others, the rank of second lieutenant is indeed much stronger than that of D3 researcher.

Su Hao is very clear: a mere rank of lieutenant does not mean anything.

For example, Wu Guoguang, although he is the head of the monitoring station in Kunming City, there are only more than 20 soldiers who can command. There is no right to appoint or dismiss personnel, no right to allocate more than a certain amount of weapons and supplies, just occupy the garrison headquarters and inject immunization drugs to the survivors in the city.

The relevant archives of the future world show that because they do not understand the characteristics of mutated creatures such as zombies, the military has lost a total of more than 600,000 troops in the more than ten years since the outbreak of the virus. Among them, the officers with the highest battle loss rate were the inspectors assigned to various places.

The D3-level researcher's counterpart is much lower than that of a second lieutenant, but is not directly controlled by the military. This means that Su Hao does not need to carry out the mortal order like a real soldier, but can use this delicate identity to seek enough benefits from it.

Su Hao, who is in the future world, has been in the Academy of Sciences for nearly forty years.

He was more familiar with the rules and regulations there than anyone else.

He is well aware of the contradictions between the hospital and the military.

He knew what kind of methods he used to make money from it.

Compared with the military, Su Hao has a sense of identity with the Academy of Sciences that no group can replace. There were his friends there, and there were many acquaintances worth communicating. and Wang Qinian, the old fat man with a hot temper, full of swearing, no one can compare with his knowledge and fierceness, and he is extremely protective like a widowed hen.

"Hurry up! Load these weapons and ammunition into the car and try to get back to the city as soon as possible. ”

Wu Guoguang carried several "Type 95" automatic rifles and handed them to the soldiers who were standing in the back of the truck and were in charge of placing them, chattering and admonishing.

Sixteen trucks had to be filled.

Among them, there are twelve trucks loaded with materials that belong to Su Hao.

Su Hao didn't know the role played by Wang Qinian, the dean of Lu Dao. He simply exchanged his notes for resources at the right time, following his familiar historical memories.

Even in the chaos of the wake of the virus outbreak, the military's controls on weapons remain tight. However, this situation only lasted for more than four months. As monitoring stations around the country continue to send back combat records of zombies, the military top brass gradually realized that the existing individual equipment can no longer meet the needs of the war.

5。 The 8mm bullets are too powerful to have any effect on zombies without hitting the head. As a last resort, the military top brass could only start 7. 62 mm caliber light weapons refitting plan.

Zombies are not humans, they don't feel pain.

5。 An 8mm warhead shot into a human body can cause severe pain and devastating muscle damage, but this level of physical damage is not effective against zombies.

The firearms that Su Hao teleported from the future world realm all used 5. 56 mm warhead. These bullets are less powerful, but can be loaded in larger quantities in a limited volume of carousels. At that time, Su Hao couldn't predict whether he would be able to get the prototype potion, and he didn't know about the series of events that happened later in Lu Dao. He could only carry as much ammunition as he could.

After all, without absolute certainty of hitting the target, one powerful 9 mm bullet is far inferior to two 5 shots. 56 mm warhead.

Before the outbreak of the virus, all countries used human soldiers as a reference point for injury in their weapons. The appearance of zombies has forced all parties to redesign more powerful individual weapons. Replacement 7. 62mm guns are only a transitional period in it. As for the old calibre weapons left over after the reloading, they will also be distributed to the survivors in two weeks' time.

As the most populous country in the world, the military has a huge inventory of individual weapons. Even in the time and space where Su Hao was originally located, there were still people who used old-caliber guns and bullets decades later.

Therefore, Su Hao was extremely bold in proposing that he needed to supplement 100,000 rounds at one time5. 8 mm rifle cartridges.

Such a request, which is simply impossible to approve in peacetime, is busy replacing 7. The military top brass with 62-mm guns doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.

This world is full of zombies, and a group of survivors are too greedy to ask for and become reasonable. After Wang Qinian's intervention and being conveyed to the Chengdu Base Group Army Headquarters by Lieutenant Colonel Yeying, it was approved, and the amount of supplies distributed by the KD03 base has tripled.

Su Hao is not alone.

The painful lessons of the future world made him realize the insignificance of his personal strength. Even evolutionary people who are higher in rank than the Enhancers cannot stand up to those who wield power. If you want to be truly safe, you must have more companions.

Including Wu Guoguang, no one found the abnormality of Su Hao's team. Enhancement people are similar in appearance to ordinary people, and it is impossible to judge them by the naked eye alone.

A few hours later, the fully loaded convoy left the military control zone and headed for the city

Lu Tao stood next to a car that was stopped in the middle of the road, holding an assault rifle, relying on the body, aiming at several zombies wandering near the green belt dozens of meters away.

"Woo β€”β€”β€”β€”"

The sound of gunfire is very abrupt against the background of the dead city. The nearest zombie immediately had a clear bullet hole in its head. The yellowish-green putref liquid trickled out of it, exuding a disgusting stench. The sound and smell immediately attracted the attention of the zombie next to him. They shifted their targets one after another, slowly walking in the direction of the abandoned car.

Lu Tao slightly changed the muzzle firing angle and put another zombie into the scope hole. Before he could pull the trigger, the zombie had already burst into a dark brown pulp in his eye socket with the sound of gunfire from the side.

It's Lu Nuo'er.

She stood behind the street tree more than ten meters away from Lu Tao, and raised her left thumb proudly.

This kind of ostentatious action made Lu Tao feel unpleasant.

He shook his head to himself, grimacing his face, and brought his right eye closer to the scope, looking for a new target.

Soon, the thirteen zombies were hit one by one, and they lay on the ground and could not stand up again.

Lu Tao and Lu Nuo'er left their respective bunkers and approached the remains of the zombies. The former pulled out the sapper catalpa that was diagonally inserted into his backpack, walked into the green belt that had long been devoid of plants, and dug hard into the soil. The latter held a steel axe in his hand and slashed hard at the zombie's hips.

Two months ago, Cao Rui and Du Tianhao each led 30 team members to set up two new camps in the south and west of the city, following the areas Su Hao had drawn on the map.

The city is littered with valuable supplies. The radius of the small bank building is limited, and in order to find more supplies, it is necessary to occupy a greater range of power in the city.

This vicinity belongs to the No. 2 camp warning area under Cao Rui's jurisdiction.

From here, to the east, around the intersection, there is an office building about three hundred meters away, where the team is stationed.

There are no large-scale corpses in this vicinity, and there are not too many zombies attracted by the gunshots. Even if there is a danger that cannot be dealt with, Lu Tao can also fire smoke flares to notify the camp guards to rush over to help.

The reason why I came here is not just to collect silver bones.

As early as the summer, Su Hao had already selected the areas where the second and third camps would be stationed. In order to alleviate the pressure of supply, Lao Song led people to dig up the shrubs in the nearby green belt. He planted a lot of turnips in the cleared soil, and now it's harvest time.

Lu Nuo'er packed the silver bone particles she had collected, took out two large woven bags from her backpack, opened the seals, and placed them on the stone steps next to the green belt. After doing all this, she squatted on the sidewalk and watched with interest as Lu Tao turned over the soil and dug radishes.

"Don't stand there and just look at it, come and help."

Although the weather was cold, the strenuous exercise still made Lu Tao feel hot, and hot sweat continued to break out on his forehead and body.

"I have to be aware of what's going on around me. Maybe hundreds of zombies will run out at any time. Hehe! I can protect you. ”

Lu Nuo'er wore black velvet leggings and a denim jacket from the store, and held an assault rifle in her hand. She chewed bubblegum nonchalantly, and from time to time she pursed her cheeks and blew out a large bubble of astonishing size.

More than a dozen arm-thick white radishes were dug out of the mud pit and piled up on the side of the road. They are fresh and covered with damp dirt, which makes them look appetizing.

The whole team is organized into two-person groups. I don't know what kind of psychology Cao Rui had, she combined all the members of her team according to the way of male and female matching. Lu Nuoer has a lively personality, and Lu Tao is calm and good at thinking. In peacetime, the former is beautiful and sociable, fully in line with the image of a goddess in the minds of most men. The latter is handsome, aloof, and thoughtful, and belongs to the class of scholars who like to delve into problems.

Lu Nuoer talks a lot, and often comes up with a lot of fantasies.

Lu Tao is relatively dull, very calm and rational in dealing with problems.

This green belt is not large, the soil fertility is limited, and the old Song Dynasty has rarely been tended after sowing. So much so that although there are more than 100 radishes dug up now, they are not very large, and they can barely fill most of the volume of two woven bags.

Lu Tao wiped the sweat from his face, grabbed two bulging woven bags and carried them on his shoulders, glanced at Lu Nuo'er who was standing next to him, and said calmly: "Let's go!" It's time to go back. ”

The entire team has never stopped hunting zombies, and most of the members have third-order enhanced strength. Dozens of kilograms of woven bags are actually nothing to Lu Tao. The reason why one person carries two bags of radishes alone is just that it is more appropriate for a man to do this kind of physical work.

In some inconsequential little things, Lu Tao doesn't like to worry about it.

Just like just now, since Lu Nuo'er is unwilling to come down to dig radishes, then let her be.

What's more, there is some truth in her wordsβ€”β€”β€”β€” the city is full of dangers. It is better to leave one person in charge of guarding than two people dying inexplicably.

Looking at Lu Tao, who was walking in front without saying a word, Lu Nuo'er shook her slender eyelashes slightly, and a complicated gaze flashed in her charming eyes.

It was the first time she had met such a taciturn manβ€”β€”β€”β€” she would not make girls happy like a clever parrot, nor would she be courteous in the very exaggerated way of Zhu Bajie. He doesn't take the initiative to show his strength, and he doesn't use things like money to curry favor. Occasionally, there are contradictions, and each time I take the initiative to back down and let myself have the upper hand.

Lu Nuo'er subconsciously remembered the guys she knew in the nightclub beforeβ€”β€”β€”β€” they were handsome and chic, rich and arrogant, always carrying all kinds of small gifts for women, and kept talking sweet words, but no one took the initiative to reach out and take the heavy cardboard box full of beer when they were tired and sleepy.

The two men walked to the intersection one after the other, and suddenly four men stepped out from the side corner.

Lu Tao immediately stopped, and the gun in his hand was leveled with Lu Nuo'er almost at the same time.

It was very close to the camp, and the two of them had their own thoughts, and they both forgot to let go of their minds and minds to search. However, the other party's reaction was similar to theirs, and his face was equally full of surprise and wariness. This shows that it was not premeditated, but a chance encounter that no one expected.

Apparently, it was a group of survivorsβ€”β€”β€”β€” all carrying bags of various sizes, holding weapons such as clubs in their hands, and their eyes radiated a look of wariness and hostility.

Lu Tao silently looked at these people opposite, his fingers tightly pressed the trigger, and he remained ready to shoot at any time.

They are not strangers, and they can even be said to know themselves well.

"Hey! College student, why are you here? ”

The other party also recognized Lu Tao β€”β€”β€”β€” scorpion standing in the center of the crowd, without speaking, his face was a little gloomy. Li Shunfa's face was covered with dirty sludge, and he seemed to be happy. The other man was a subordinate of Scorpion when he was in a residential building. As for the last one who was greeting him, it was the "Leopard Head".

Lu Nuo'er lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, took a few steps forward, approached Lu Tao's ear and whispered, "Are they your friends?" ”

Lu Tao shook his head slowly, squinting his eyes at the opposite side, and the barrel of the gun moved with his eyes.

He didn't say anything, and the "leopard head" didn't ask a second word, the air became a little dull, and the expressions on everyone's faces were unnatural.

"Huh! This girl is pretty, your girlfriend? ”

"Leopard Head" seems to have a special skill for coming out to play a round at such an awkward time. He stuffed the steel pipe in his hand to Li Shunfa, who was standing next to him, raised his hands, and his greedy gaze quickly swept over Lu Nuo'er's tall chest, and quickly fell on the assault rifle held by Lu Tao, and asked very enviously: "I said!" Where did you get the gun? ”

Lu Tao's muzzle moved down slightly, pointed to the foot of the "leopard head" stepping forward, and said coldly: "Go back, don't come over." ”

Although it is not explicitly stated, the words are full of obvious warnings and threats.

"Don't do that, I, I don't mean anything else."

The sudden change made the "leopard head" feel uncomfortable. In my impression, Lu Tao belongs to the kind of young man who is very talkative, with a very gentle attitude and speaking tone, and never has disputes with others.

Several of the men looked a little ugly, but they didn't say anything or move their hands. No one is a fool, and no one thinks that the guns in Lu Tao and Lu Nuo'er's hands are toys.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Tao spoke again: "What are you doing here?" ”

This area is far from residential buildings and is beyond the normal scope of searching for food and resources.

"We don't live where we were. From here, to the east, next to the viaduct out of town, there is a good team. They're just like you, they have guns. There's also this. ”

The "leopard head" is clearly trying to get as close to each other as possible. He pulled a syringe out of his pocket, squeezed it in his hand and shook it ostentatiously: "We've all had this kind of injection, this thing can make you not have to be afraid of damn zombies." I tried to get bitten by those guys, and guess what? I'm not infected and I'm healthier than ever. ”

"East?"

Lu Nuo'er muttered to herself, tilted her head, and looked at Lu Tao suspiciously.

In the city, only Wu Guoguang's monitoring team is handing out immunization pills.

Some of the survivors knew about it, and many didn't know about it.

There were no newspapers and television, all communications were cut off, and it was normal for information to be blocked.

However, because of the status of a D3 researcher and a good cooperative relationship, Su Hao's team has always been in contact with the monitoring station. But neither the wild "castle" nor Du Tianhao's No. 3 camp has been reported that the military has set up a site in the east of the city.

Moreover, "Leopard Head" also said just now that the organizers of the eastern team are not soldiers.

Lu Tao didn't have any expression on his face. He looked at the scorpion in the middle of the crowd that had not spoken, turned his gaze to the "leopard head", and asked, "You have a lot of this?" ”

"Leopard Head" understood the meaning of his words. So he cautiously took a few steps forward and handed over the syringe, but his eyes looked nervously at the gun in Lu Nuo'er's hand, and he smiled reluctantly: "This, this is my gift to you." Anyway, I still have some. ”

Lu Tao quickly put away the immunity potion, signaled the "leopard head" to return to its original position, and after standing still, he leveled the muzzle of the gun again and aimed at the scorpion.

The range of such movements is small, and there are no vicious and threatening words. But the four men on the other side all felt involuntarily chilled. Especially the scorpion that was put in the center of the scope, his face was already iron-blue.

Lu Tao did not hesitate and pulled the trigger heavily.

The detached bullet hit the scorpion in the left chest.

He clutched his bleeding wound tightly, his eyes widened, and he rolled backwards.
