Chapter Ninety-Six: Nothing

Since this neighborhood is still a suburb, almost all the places that can be searched have been searched by the survivors who live here, and these survivors may be because this place is no longer valuable, or they are in danger of fighting with zombies, in short, this place has become a dead place, there are no materials and no survivors, except for zombies, not even the shadow of mutant beasts can be found.

The convoy traveled for more than an hour before finally arriving outside a four-story township government office building closest to the county seat.

"In the past two days, our task is to use this township government as a base to search the surrounding villages and towns, and everyone gets out of the car to check the equipment and follows me in. Wang Lei passed through the walkie-talkie and ordered the convoy to stop.

The township government compound was apparently deserted, leaving a few lonely zombies roaming the courtyard.

The zombies were handed over to the death squad to clean up, and Wang Lei went directly into the office building.

Looking at the office documents scattered everywhere in the hallway, as well as many broken office chairs and splinters of teacups scattered everywhere, it is not difficult to imagine the fierce resistance experienced by the survivors here on the day of the outbreak of the virus.

At this time, the advantage of fewer people is revealed, looking at these traces of escape, the survivors should be fighting against the zombies all the way from the fourth floor, and finally fleeing to the first floor and escaping. And being able to escape all the way from the fourth floor to the first floor is an impossible task in a densely populated county.

"The office building has been cleaned up, there are less than 20 zombies in the entire township government, two human corpses, and one zombie skeleton, there are no survivors, and they should have escaped. Gong Er finished searching and came to report the results to Wang Lei.

The bones of zombies are different from the bones of human survivors, and the easiest way to identify them is the degree of integrity, because after the zombies die, only the cerebral marrow in the skull will be swallowed by their companions, so their corpses are relatively intact except for the head.

And human survivors don't have such a good treatment, once they are scratched or bitten by zombies, as long as they can't hold on for thirty minutes, they can't become zombies, and the result of not being able to become zombies is to be eaten clean by a group of zombies, and the bones are naturally discarded everywhere in the east and west, which can be said to be no bones.

"I checked the number of staff here, there are 47 people in the normal staff, not including the township units, there are many temporary employees, except for weekends, there are at least 30 people who are usually on duty here, that is to say, at least one-third of the people in this township government have fled. Su Xue'er also came back after investigating the situation at this time.

One-third of the people fled, of course, it is not ruled out that among the one-third of the people who fled, there were also those who were scratched by zombies and finally infected and became zombies, but this is already better than Wang Lei expected, after all, this is still a place with a lot of population flow.

If it is in a rural area with a single courtyard, it is possible that no family will be infected, and with the mutant dog guarding the home, zombies will not be of much use in these places at all.

"In this way, leave the logistics brigade and a platoon of fighters as a reserve to guard the weapons and ammunition, and the rest will be platoons as units to enter various villages to search, and the three of us will lead the death squad and the heavy machine gun fire team to support at any time. Tell those platoon commanders that if they encounter mutant dogs, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to attack, we can't provoke first, as for other mutant beasts, we can judge and solve them ourselves, but if we encounter more than three, we must report it in time. Wang Lei said to Su Xueer and Gong Er.

Sending a search team is also a last resort, the countryside is too big, if they all gather together to act, I don't know if the search can be completed in the Year of the Monkey.

Because many of the roads into the village are too narrow for large trucks to pass through, Lu Shanshan's logistics brigade can only stay at the township government and clean the office building by the way, after all, Wang Lei's troops will stay here for a day or two, and the place where they live must naturally be prepared.

Wang Lei's platoon has a large number of people, there are more than 40 people in a platoon, and they enter the village to search in a platoon, even if they encounter mutant beasts, as long as they are not more than three at the same time, these people can use powerful firepower to suppress them.

As for the group of mutant beasts with more than three, there should be none nearby, because the glasses have already searched first, and if there is a large group of mutant beasts, the glasses will definitely come back to report the situation.

Of course, in such a big place, there must be a mistake in the search of glasses, so Wang Lei explained to everyone that once they encounter more than three mutant beasts, they must first report with the walkie-talkie, and then the mobile troops led by Wang Lei will rush to support as soon as possible.

In order to facilitate timely support, Wang Lei led a mobile unit to search the most central area, and the convoy traveled for about 20 minutes before finally seeing the first village.

The village roads are really not very good, pure dirt roads, not even paved with gravel.

Worried that the vehicle would get trapped, Wang Lei could only order the riot car to stop and be on guard, and Wang Lei and the three of them walked into the village with a death squad.

The village is not big, less than a kilometer from the head of the village to the end of the village, and in less than twenty minutes, the death squad has completed the search, not to mention mutant beasts, survivors and the like, not even a single hair of the zombies has been seen.

"Judging by the situation, it seems that there should be a gathering area nearby, not only to gather survivors, but also to kill zombies and search for supplies. Wang Lei went to several kitchens and storage warehouses to take a look and came to a conclusion.

"You mean, we're doing useless work here?" asked Su Xue'er.

In fact, she also realized that the countryside is not as good as the city, and it is not impossible for these survivors to kill the zombies in the entire village, but the materials of a village cannot be transported by a few survivors, and there is no trace of vehicles entering here, presumably the people who carry these materials definitely exceed the total number of people in this village before the outbreak of the virus.

And to have so many survivors, it is likely that the entire township and town survivors are gathered together, so Wang Lei's search team should be late, and the nearby villages may also have no survivors and supplies.

Spending so much energy to do it was useless, which made Su Xue'er feel a lot worse.

"Maybe, let's see if there's any good news for the other search teams. Wang Lei smiled bitterly.

The countryside is indeed a paradise for survivors, where food and materials are abundant, the area is vast, and most people can survive well, but it has been more than a month since the outbreak of the virus, and Wang Lei only led the troops into at this time, and he has lost the opportunity.

Sure enough, with the return of the various platoon commanders, the first village they entered, basically nothing was found.

"One thing I don't understand, they don't have thermal weapons, how did they kill these zombies, and we searched around, and we didn't even see the bones of the zombies, so it can't be that there is no virus mutation in this vicinity. Gong Er was puzzled.

"It's a mutant beast, some of them should have mutant beast partners, these zombies are all eaten by mutant beasts, as for the bones, they are all from a village, people die greatly, and it's not uncommon to help them enter the earth for peace. Wang Lei pointed to a cemetery in the mountain behind the village and said.

Most of the people in the countryside are simple, this kind of natural disaster no one wants to happen, even if the zombies are fierce and brutal before they die, but everyone knows that this is not their original intention, in line with the traditional concept that people die greatly, it is not a strange thing to help with burial.

"Let's go, let's go to the next village, Gong Er, you inform the search team and continue the search. Wang Lei said one after another.

"It's ....... It's clear that there is nothing in the village behind you, so why bother with thankless?" Su Xue'er wondered.

However, Wang Lei was silent, just returned to the road and started the car to continue moving forward.

He also knew that if he continued to search, he would probably still find nothing, but his main purpose was to find mutant beasts, except for mutant dogs, other mutant beasts did not like to stay with humans in the first place, and these villages were deserted, which was indeed an excellent habitat for mutant beasts.

"There's a house near Shanbao over there, and you're here waiting for me to come and take a look. Wang Lei pointed to the telescope and pointed to a small hill two kilometers away from the main road.

Since he is here to search, of course he can't miss any house, but there is only one house there, there is no need to mobilize the people, Wang Lei is the fastest, he can go alone.

Wang Lei's speed was fast, and he came to the bottom of the hill after a while.

A small two-story western-style building sits alone on the edge of the farmland, with no obstacles around, and naturally there is not a single zombie.

It was a typical peasant house, the small building was a few years old, the white exterior tiles were no longer bright, and the foundation under the corner was covered with withered and yellow moss. The cement floor in front of the building has many narrow and tiny cracks.

The stainless steel doors and windows of the small building are tightly locked.

"Oooo

Wang Lei hammered the door a few times, and then stuck on the iron door to listen to the movement in the house, the room was quiet, at this time Wang Lei's face showed a smile, such a locked house, obviously not searched by those survivors.

Maybe these survivors are too far away to waste their strength for this place, or maybe they searched here, but they couldn't break the door of this house, in short, no one should have touched the materials inside.

It's no wonder that Wang Lei would be happy because of such a house, which even the survivors in the countryside can't look at, but now the troops have searched for more than two hours, but they haven't found even a single hair, and the morale is already very low.

Wang Lei took a few steps back and looked at the small building, and then rushed forward and kicked it away.

Breaking open the door, Wang Lei flashed into the house, and was not popular for a long time, and the room seemed a little cloudy. Inside is a hall room, with a portrait of the birthday star hanging on the wall facing the door, and a porcelain statue of the land father-in-law is placed on the cabinet next to the portrait. The decoration of the house is very ordinary, and the white tiles on the ground are a little discolored and yellowish.

Wang Lei turned around on the first floor and found the kitchen, all the kitchen was empty except for the water tank, there was no oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and rice, and even the rats came in tears when they came in.

There is a passage next to the kitchen, which leads down the corridor to the back of the building, and there is a small courtyard at the back, with several earthen rooms on both sides, one is a carport, and there are some tire tools scattered in the corner, and the other is a firewood room. There are also two rooms, one is a pigsty and the other is a fire cage room, and there is naturally no bacon in the countryside where cured meat is smoked. There was an iron fence gate in the small courtyard leading to the back of the hill, and the iron gate was locked by a general.

"The owner of the house escaped the virus, brought food supplies to meet with other survivors, and by the way, locked the front and rear doors. Wang Lei said depressedly.

It's no wonder that Wang Lei complained, until now the houses he has encountered, as long as the materials are emptied, the doors are basically wide open, and there is nothing left at home, who is in the mood to lock the door.

Unless there is no one in the house in the first place, or there are survivors' houses living in it, the door will be locked to prevent zombies from entering.

The downstairs room is the bedroom for the elderly, and it is full of old furniture and wooden beds. The rest were used as storehouses, and a little rice was scattered on the floor.

On the second floor is the living room, a living room with three bedrooms, a living room with wooden floors, a queen size sofa, and an upscale home theater. The three bedrooms are covered with quilt bed covers, so you can even sleep straight to sleep.

"Weird.......... Since it is an escape, this quilt and bed cover or something can be regarded as necessary materials, how can they stay here and not take it away?" Wang Lei was confused again.
