Chapter 198: Communication with Survivors

The ambulance finally entered the interception line of the gas station, and after entering the gas station, the special operations team also learned about the situation in the gas station.

There were 32 vehicles and 66 survivors, mostly women and children, and only 21 adult men, all of whom had escaped from the small town of Cochrane, where the special operations team had landed.

The Electric Eel nation has far fewer guns per capita than the superpower next door, and only a small fraction of the survivors have thermal weapons, many of which are light weapons obtained from police stations.

There were also policemen in this team, and their uniforms were still well worn, but they all listened to the old man at the head.

And the identity of the old man who was the leader also learned from other people's inquiries that he used to be the sergeant of the police department, and after he retired, he encountered the outbreak of the parasite crisis, which can be regarded as bad luck.

In the convenience store of the gas station, the black captain who got out of the car was with the retired old sheriff, and there were other survivors in the convenience store who were awakened, and after knowing that the professionals were coming, they all gathered here to listen to the conversation that followed.

"Gibbs, you can call me Gibbs." The old sheriff introduced himself.

The black captain put the muzzle of the gun on the ground, and then reached out and took off the full-coverage helmet, revealing a face under the helmet that was about to merge with the dim environment, and a pair of bright eyes, "Antoine, just call me by my name, I am the leader of the rescue team." ”

The moment Sergeant Gibbs took off his helmet from Black Captain Antoine, he suddenly thought that he still had a mask under his helmet...... His face had deteriorated a lot.

The aging Sheriff Gibbs experienced an undisguised dislike of blacks in the 20th century, when there were often people who made the remark that the infectious disease was brought by black people, and even now, this kind of remark is not less, and Sheriff Gibbs, who grew up in that environment, still has some prejudice against blacks.

Not only the elderly sheriff, but also the young men, women and children who were watching around showed a different color on their faces.

"Okay, tell me about your purpose."

The perceptive Antoine noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of Sheriff Gibbs and the people around him, and he naturally understood the reason for this, and he didn't care about it, saying: "My team members have already told you that we are a joint rescue team, and the purpose is naturally to save more lives. ”

Hearing this, Sergeant Gibbs let out a mocking sound, "Joint? I think you're more like American troops! That's so nice, why didn't you show up ten days ago, and now so many people have died, do you want to annex the land here to the United States! ”

With that, he looked at the young men beside him, and after seeing the surprise and confusion on their faces, he nodded slightly in satisfaction.

These young people still need to be taught by their old comrades, and the current world is much more dangerous than the previous xenophobic policy, and they will not know how they will die in the future just because of this outfit and a few empty words!

The special operations force decided to act in the name of unity, and naturally considered the situation questioned by ordinary people, Antoine replied without the slightest delay: "Because this is not the most severely affected place, and now there are at least 6 kinds of virulent infectious diseases that can turn people into zombies on the whole planet, and the United needs to help rescue countries and regions that ban guns, and it is not the most urgent to enter the disaster area to save people." ”

Ten days ago, in the early days of the parasite crisis, the 2G network and television sets that not every household owned, greatly affected the circulation of international news, and his words succeeded in intimidating the confident and mocking Sheriff Gibbs.

The rest of the young people who had become suspicious were also corrected by Antoine's explanation, and continued to wait for the following.

"Isn't saving people the most urgent? What could be more important than human life? Gold in the bank? ”

Sergeant Gibbs didn't take long to hold back a few more questions, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Antoine, for the sake of face and reason, he also had to ask clearly.

Look at the bullshit reason of the union is important, or is it the living human life that matters!

"You misunderstood." Antoine shook his head slightly and explained, "Human life is indeed the most important thing...... In order to have more people alive in this crisis that covers the entire planet, the armies of various countries cannot do their best to rescue the people, and the things they have to deal with are far more complex and urgent than saving people. ”

Sergeant Gibbs said incomprehensibly, "What's the matter?" ”

"The five viruses, as well as the parasites here, are not only targeting humans, but all species on the planet."

What Antoine said is actually the real state of the country, and the army needs to think more about the long-term.

"All livestock and poultry on farms and farms need to be slaughtered and frozen, farms need to be maintained, food sources, weapons factories, nuclear power plants and infrastructure that cannot be damaged, the transfer of vital equipment and the control of the non-spread of the epidemic in high-risk areas...... Everyone is busy, there are billions of people on this planet, agriculture and livestock are collapsing, and global trade chains are broken, and even if more people are saved, survivors will soon be killing each other for food and clean water. ”

Speaking of this, Antoine took another deep breath and exhaled, "Maybe you don't know yet, a large number of mutated individuals have appeared among the zombies, and their strength is ordinary soldiers......"

"No, we know, and we've seen ......"

After a few rounds of explanations, Sheriff Gibbs finally lowered his head heavily, and when he talked about mutants, he raised his head again, finally letting go of a little prejudice against blacks and staring at Antoine, "We saw several of them when we escaped from the town. ”

"How many?"

"Yes, there are several kinds of bitches!"

Memories that were still fresh were told in the mouth of Sheriff Gibbs, who was the direct object of their forced escape from town.

The monsters described range from four-handed zombies known to the special operations team to long-necked zombies that scream.

In addition to these two, Sheriff Gibbs also mentions a third special mutant, which is a mutant whose height has been forcibly raised, and whose right or left hand has been described, which has been transformed into an ugly, thick object.

It's no different from an arm that doesn't have five fingers, and they use that thick arm to lunge into the crowd......

Because the mutant zombie is far taller than humans, and with a slender torso and an exceptionally thick arm, bullets fired at it are often blocked by its arm full of sarcomas and cysts.

The slender body could still swing an arm the size of a torso, and even a car would be vulnerable to the thick arm of these tall mutants.

Their bodies have been completely modified by parasites, and the muscle density of that arm is as exaggerated as the legs of a four-handed zombie that can jump more than ten meters away at a time, and its strength and defense ability are very amazing.
