Chapter 176: Zombie Rat
The presence of an infected person on an airplane indicates that the fall of the city is not far away.
Jill knew this very well, so she decided that they couldn't delay too long, and that they had to complete the investigation as quickly as possible before they could return to the United States before they were in flight control.
"The drone has found a gap where slum dwellers are fleeing...... They've been discovered, uh...... They were killed. ”
The snipers in the team were responsible for using drones to reconnoiter the slums, trying to find gaps in the blockade line to blend into, but they couldn't, and at least 50,000 military and police officers gathered around the 2 square kilometers of slums.
Unable to find a gap that could be blended into, Gardner decided to use camouflage drones to cover and fly in after thinking twice.
The reason why they still have to think about it is because the energy of the equipment on their bodies is limited, and they can theoretically be used for ten days, but if they are used uncontrollably, it is likely to be less than ten days.
The optical camouflage effect of the camouflage drone requires a built-in chip to assist the operation, and the energy consumption is quite large, and Kevin is carried on his back when he is not using it on weekdays.
In order to complete the survey mission as soon as possible and get out of here, they had to use the camouflage drone again.
The seven of them formed a circle again, set the coordinates, set off with the camouflage drone, and just like that, they stepped over the heads of the military and police who blocked the slum and successfully entered the narrow center of the slum.
The area of 2 square kilometers is not small for individuals, but most of the 2 square kilometers of land are occupied by low-rise bungalows, the largest of which can only accommodate 2 cars side by side, and the most used means of transportation here is bicycles.
There is no planning between buildings, which also leads to the presence of a large number of intricate alleys in the slums.
The environment here is more complex and dirty than the Baxi slums where Kevin's team fought in the war on drugs, and there is no one on the streets, and it is as quiet as a ghost town, which is almost impossible for a slum with a high population density.
First of all, they have to find survivors and zombies in the slums, and try not to make too much noise, and the time is controlled to less than three hours.
"Our goal is to investigate the source of the virus outbreak, understand the biological state of the virus after infection, pay attention to whether rats and dogs can be infected to spread, collect water sources, and test the strength of zombies for 16 hours."
Gardner arranged for the grouping of seven people in a 2-square-kilometre slum, and the most efficient way to do this was to act in groups.
They are not characters in third-rate horror films, and the zombies here are not horror beings with the power of directors, and grouping will not have any impact on safety.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
If it weren't for the military and police outside the blockade and the unlikely chance of accidents, they could even be dispersed and act alone.
However, they were divided into three groups, Jill and John Wick, Kevin and Sacco, and Gardner and the remaining two.
The slums are divided into rough triangles, and they use micro-drones to make map observations to make sure they don't go to the same places.
……
The action begins.
Jill and John Wick, one a police officer and the other a Chinese multi-lingual killer, naturally take on the task of investigating possible survivors.
To figure out the source of the outbreak of the virus, it is best to directly find the survivors and ask about the fact that the zombies exist, which they have learned in advance through the drones, and the signs of the survivors' existence are also known through the drones.
Their equipment is very strong for individual combat, but it is not easy to use if you are looking for people.
The thermal imaging of the helmet cannot penetrate the walls of the bungalow to spy on the people hiding inside the building, and there are no professional drones to provide them with large-scale infrared scanning and life scanning, so the two can only search for survivors in a more primitive way.
Try knocking on the door in the hope of catching subtle unusual sounds in a quiet environment.
The center of the slum is almost gone, and the wave of zombies erupts, which will inevitably spread outward from the center.
Residents who want to survive will inevitably move to the outskirts of the slums, knocking on the doors of houses near the centre, most likely not finding anyone.
After two minutes of unsuccessful attempts, Jill decided to head towards the outskirts of the slum.
After walking a short distance, they came across a garbage heap and saw corpses lying on the ground with their heads down.
The two of them stepped forward to check, and they didn't very carefully turn over the corpse lying on the ground with their feet, and then they were so disgusted by the maggot-infested surface that they couldn't help but take two steps back.
No wonder even zombies don't come to eat this corpse, this corpse is completely decomposed, and the white bones exposed on the head make people not want to touch it at all.
Just when the two thought that what they had found was just a corpse, a black shadow suddenly popped out of the garbage heap.
The heavy exoskeleton armor and full-coverage helmet on the body give the two of them a high sense of security, and both of them are also experienced in battles, so they will not be easily frightened.
John Wick's eyes were quick, and he trampled the rat under his feet, and then he felt the strange sensation of stepping on the potato chips, and when he looked up again, the rat had turned into a meatloaf.
"Keep walking......" Glancing at the rat that had turned into a meatloaf, Jill was about to say to keep walking, but the rat cries around her began to sound one after another.
When they looked left and right, the rats hiding in the shadows didn't make them wait long, and pounced on the two of them like crazy.
In the face of rats surging like sewage, the two did not panic, but immediately activated the flight system and flew directly into the air.
The rats tried to jump a few times, and then they just stopped there......
If they have an IQ, it is estimated that they will raise their heads and point to the sky and scold their mothers, why can a big living person fly into the sky without wings?!
Jill and John Wick looked at each other, quickly moved to the roof of a bungalow, watched the vanishing rats below, and reported the phenomenon to Gardner.
After hearing about rats, Gardner asked the two to catch one to see if there was any sign of corpses.
John Wick took the initiative to take on the job, jumping from the roof of the seven-metre-high bungalow, reaching out to scoop up a mouse, and returning to the roof of the bungalow.
The squeaking rat was brought to the head for inspection, and the mouse's dark eyes turned an unusually white color under the sunlight.
The helmet's perspective was synchronously transmitted to the other people's helmets, allowing them to confirm the terrible fact that the rats were also infected with the virus and turned into zombie rats.
Their confidence in finding survivors and finding the truth about the virus has diminished somewhat.
After confirming that the rat was a zombie rat, Gardner's tone also became solemn, "After that, we will take a rat, you can continue to investigate." ”
