Volume 1: Survival in the Sea of Corpses Chapter 338: Tracking

It is not a loss that Haicheng, the most prosperous and wealthy city in the country, has collected a large amount of food only in the marginal suburbs, because of the large population, the suburbs are also full of residential communities, and there are also a lot of unspoiled grain in the door-to-door search.

In several farmers' markets, I also found a lot of miscellaneous grain oil, and even caught a lot of mutant beasts living here, such as mice, cats, dogs, etc., all of which are very small in size and can hide in a small space, so as to escape the coercion of the sea of corpses.

It's just that humans are much more cunning than zombies, not only have bows and crossbows, but also set up a large number of traps, and soon hunted and killed a large number of mutant beasts, all of which were pulled back to Genting City and made into jerky, leather goods, weapons, etc., without waste at all.

But the density of the population also means that the number of zombies is huge, just on the first day, the bow and crossbow brigade expanded to 300 people, it consumed nearly 30,000 arrows, together with the crossbow arrows of other combat members, the total consumption reached 200,000, which is still the result of recycling.

Fortunately, most of the arrows are made of steel, and if they are all beast bone arrows, Genting City will not be able to withstand such consumption.

This is still the attrition of soldiers fighting against ordinary zombies, and the ability team responsible for solving high-level zombies, the consumption is even greater, beast bone arrows, bone refrigeration weapons, mutant animal skin armor, and special bullets, every time you deal with a high-level or mutant zombie, there will be a lot of consumption.

If it continues like this, it will soon evolve into a situation of hand-to-hand combat, in fact, this is also in the plan, every time they come into contact with the corpses, the commanders of each squad will leave some zombies for the soldiers to solve in hand-to-hand combat, so that they can slowly adapt.

This is also an order that Liang Hao personally gave to middle and low-level officers, although there will be certain casualties, but it is better than when the ammunition supply is not available, and then go unprepared to fight the zombies at close range, then the number of deaths will only be more.

The next day, the front advanced ten kilometers from the suburbs, Liang Hao ordered to temporarily stop continuing to go deeper, build fortifications on the spot, and let the capable team continue to build a signal relay station in depth, and the main force built an outpost as a transit point for soldiers and materials.

At the same time, the surrounding areas will be searched deeply, looking for food and materials, this is already the limit, and if you go deeper, you will have to face a large number of zombies and giant corpses, which must use heavy weapons to resist, which will inevitably attract more zombies.

On the side of Wang He, after chasing for a whole day, from the traces left along the way, finally found the other party's parked vehicle, the road ahead was impassable, the gang hid the car in the alley in front of a building, it seems that they should have taken the method of walking through the building to leave.

Leaving the motorcycle, Wang He and Shi Chong continued to track and follow up the building, and Laifu led the way in front of him by smelling the smell, and soon reached the top of the building, and found the zipline that had not been dismantled between the adjacent buildings.

Didn't dare to rashly use the zipline left in the place, but it was only ten meters away from the next door, Wang He directly grabbed Shi Chong and threw it over, and then he checked the consequences and found a trap at the other end of the zipline, it seems that the enemy's anti-tracking awareness is particularly strong. c

After the trap was removed, the group first slid over with a rope and Wang He passed last, and judging from the traces left at the scene, the group rested here for the night before leaving from the adjacent rooftop.

This area is also a commercial circle, there are many buildings, the distance between buildings, even ordinary people can jump over, the residual smell is very obvious, and Laifu has followed the smell to track the past.

The enemy is already not far away, and the speed of action of two people and one dog is much faster than that of a fifteen-person squad with three hostages, and Shi Chong predicts that he will be able to catch up with the other party in three hours at most.

After jumping on the roof for more than half an hour, there was no way ahead, and the nearest building was also fifty meters away, and Rifle sniffed in the middle of the night and found that the other party did not go down the stairs, and their smell disappeared from the roof.

Shi Chong opened the map and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "No! It's impossible to speculate, they may have equipment such as a glider, a flying squirrel suit, and it is possible to go in either direction."

Wang He was silent and looked at the map for a long time before asking, "In which direction is the place where the disc crashed?"

"Northeast, almost

Fifty kilometers in a straight line." Shi Chong replied, "You think they're coming for the disc?"

"There are only fifteen people, and they don't carry transports, even if they go deep into Haicheng to find something, it will not be for the purpose of taking away a large amount of items, the biggest possibility is to investigate, and the route of travel has always been northeast, I can't think of other possibilities."

Shi Chong looked to the northeast, the wide intersection was crowded with zombies, and in the distance was the viaduct, there were many zombies on the bridge, a little north was a small park, adjacent to the garden of a residential area, and the area was not small.

The shadows of the trees in the park were swaying, and he couldn't see clearly, and it didn't seem like there were many zombies, so he patted Wang He with the back of his hand and pointed to the small park.

"Look over there."

Wang He turned his head to look, it was not that there were no zombies in the small park, but that those zombies had been killed, and there were at least fifty corpses by sight, and it seemed that the other party should leave the roof of the building by gliding, and when he arrived at the small park, he left after the killing.

"That's right, it's over there!"

The direction is determined, but how to get over is still a problem, the two of them don't have flying squirrel suits, Wang He still has power armor, but at this distance, he can't take a person and a dog to glide over with anti-gravity wings, I'm afraid that the mental power will be exhausted halfway through the flight.

"Head, if you don't go over first, Laifu and I will find a way to get around, and it is important to save people without delaying time."

Wang He shook his head, in terms of tracking ability, Shi Chong and Laifu are stronger than him, even if they get to the small park first, where to go after that, Wang He is almost blind, without the assistance of the two of them, he will definitely not be able to find anyone.

The park is 100 meters away, the road is too wide, there are too many zombies, the time required to go around is at least an hour, and this building has more than 20 floors, and the height is at least about 60 meters, even if Wang He throws them over, I am afraid that they will be thrown to death.

Shi Chong saw his concerns and persuaded, "According to your speculation, their target is the disk, and their direction also confirms your guess to a large extent, so it is better to chase directly in that direction, there is no other way now."

Wang He looked into the distance, just as Shi Chong said, the road ahead was getting more and more difficult to walk, and he couldn't tell when Wen Jing would be used as bait, time waited for no one, it was not time to delay, he nodded, and no longer hesitated.

"Head! Stay safe, we'll catch up soon, don't worry!"

Waving goodbye to Shi Chong, Wang He accelerated his run, jumped high and summoned his power armor at the same time, swooped in the direction of the small park, and soon landed in the park, looking back, the two figures on the roof waved to him, and turned to leave.

Wang He trotted towards the courtyard wall of the community next to the park to see the distribution of the zombie corpses underground.

The good news is that the bodies of Wen Jing and the other two fighters were not found in the corpses, and the corpse of a soldier wearing urban tactical camouflage with an obvious broken leg was accidentally found.

All the things that can be used on the soldier's body have been taken away, but the flying squirrel suit on his body is still there, and there is no damage, Wang He thought about it, and directly peeled it off for him, the two are similar in size, and they can also make do with it, in case there is such a situation in the future, they can also be used.

In fact, the use of equipment such as gliding suits and flying squirrel suits at this distance has a very low safety factor, and parachutes are also necessary, unless they have abilities beyond ordinary people, such as super bone density, or strong healing ability.

The corpse in front of him obviously did not have such means of self-preservation, otherwise he would not have died, and as for how the others did it, it is unknown.

Wang He didn't spend too much time, he quickly came to the courtyard wall, there were a bunch of messy footprints against the wall, and there was still dirt left behind after stepping on the wall, he jumped up and buckled the wall, and pushed it up to the wall.

The situation in the community confirmed Wang He's guess, there were many zombies falling near the wall, probably killed after they climbed over the wall, and there were not many zombies in the courtyard.

They are also concentrated in the west, and there are almost no zombies in the north and east.

It's not much, but under the building in the west, there are at least a few hundred zombies, and through the layers of zombies, Wang He saw a mutilated corpse under the corner of the wall, which had been torn apart, and could only be seen from the scattered broken fabric, which was the military uniform of the soldiers of Yunding Mountain.

It is impossible to confirm who it is up close, unless you kill all these hundreds of zombies, instead of wasting time here, it is better to catch up with the other party, and the enemy is happy, Wang He can only pray, it is not Wen Jing who dies.

Continue to the north, climb over the courtyard wall, and see that across the road outside the courtyard, there are many zombies crowded in a convenience store.

The convenience store doesn't look big, and there is another neighborhood in the back, and there is a high probability that this is the route of these people, passing through the convenience store and crossing through the community. According to the markings on the map, there is the Fujiang River in the back.

They probably want to take a boat, and they can land about five kilometers away from the circle along the river, which can save a long distance of walking time in the middle, and there is no zombie chasing and interception, and it is safe and fast.

But for Wang He, he must intercept the way before the other party gets on the boat and leaves, Fujiang is not the Fenghe River of Tianyuan City, the narrowest place is more than 300 meters wide, and the wide place is more than 800 meters, and the water depth and flow speed are fast, even if there is a boat, he has no confidence to catch up.
