Chapter 267: Failure

Six people set off in a modified domestic third-generation off-road vehicle, this off-road has three rows of seats, and some space can be used to carry luggage, and the front and three sides of the shell have been reinforced, which can withstand the impact of the lion and tiger level mutant beasts.

Walking in the forest area, it is common to encounter mutant beasts, most of the time mutant beasts will take the initiative to avoid the 'tough' off-road vehicles, of course, there are also a few cases, when Long Tao is driving, he always directly crashes over.

We took turns driving, stopping every night to rest and coming out of the small town and detouring to the northern end of the primeval forest, which is also a sparsely populated area, but the forest and the plain give a completely different feeling.

I once heard that there is a tourist route in the Mongolian Autonomous County that leads directly to the eastern province of Mongolia, which is more popular during the summer vacation, and my classmates went to play.

However, the location of the town was far from the route, so we chose the nearest road, said it was a short road, and it took three days to reach the last town on the border.

When we go out of the country, we probably won't be able to meet a place to refuel for a day, so this place called Wugou Town is very important to me.

The first thing I saw was the red roof of the gas station, and there were only endless plains along the way, and there were very few abandoned vehicles even on the national highway.

The sudden appearance of a little red in the monotonous scenery somewhat relieved my visual fatigue, and I even hoped to see a few zombies in the gas station.

However, there were only blood stains in the supermarket at the gas station, and the shelves had been emptied, needless to say, there must have been survivors who visited it.

We all got out of the car and took the opportunity to move our bodies, Hu Tao checked the fuel dispenser and told us with a smile that there was still oil underneath.

His earth-based ability can move oil tanks underground, breaking through the dirt layer and moving them to the surface, so we can get oil out even if the tanker breaks.

It is estimated that the survivors who have patronized here just can't do this, so they give up the fuel in the tank, Gao Yan found the burned bones behind the gas station, as well as the nameplate of the gas station's employees, thinking that the survivors killed the mutated clerk and then burned the body.

Long Tao said that judging from the traces, it was at least a few months ago, and the whereabouts of the previous group of survivors could no longer be determined.

Wugou Town belongs to Ershan City, where rolling mountains can still be seen, Gu Yu set this place as a meeting point, if we accidentally lose contact, we don't have to wait in place, we can gather here.

The area of the autonomous county is vast and sparsely populated, and the threat from zombies is minimal, so we went directly to the town along the road, and found many corpses along the way, so we can be sure that they were all zombies before we died.

The further we walked into the town, the more corpses there were, and soon we found that all the zombies in the town had been killed, both indoors and outdoors, and there were corpses everywhere.

Gu Yu, Long Tao, and Hu Tao examined different bones, and finally concluded that these zombies should have died from some kind of ability, and there were no traces left on the bones.

"Brain blast." Long Tao threw away the stick that was playing with the bones and got up to say a new term.

"Is it an ability you've ever seen?" Xun Bishan asked.

"The captain should be able to do it." Long Tao looked at Gu Yu on the side.

"The air bomb can indeed do it, but judging from the traces of the explosion of brain tissue, it may be caused by internal causes." Gu Yu uncovered a piece of skull and showed me the mottled marks on the inside of the bone, which were the remnants of brain tissue that had burst out after the brain exploded.

"Like a microwave?" Gao Yan's analogy was recognized by Gu Yu, who nodded.

I never use a microwave oven at home, but I still know the principle, there is a microwave generator in it, through the production of electromagnetic waves with a very high frequency, the positive and negative charged fine particles in the food molecules move back and forth, so that the food will release a lot of heat energy.

The explosion caused by the improper use of the microwave is not news, but this is the first time I've heard of a heated explosion in the human brain.

"Maybe it's not man-made, it's not an anomaly, it's some new type of weapon." Hu Tao expressed his opinion, and I think his idea is closer to reality.

"Whether it's abilities or weapons, if these guys are still around, we'll have to be careful." I used my psychic tentacles to reach out several kilometers away, but I didn't find any human or animal brainwaves.

"We didn't find any signs of a large number of zombies moving all the way, it's normal to have survivors, Miss Xun, you confirm the route again, let's go and choose a meeting place." Gu Yu left Gao Yan behind, and the four of us searched in all directions.

There were no tall buildings in the town, so we decided that whoever found out would use the ability to deliver the message.

Since this is the rendezvous point, we have to make sure that it is absolutely safe, and there are some dangers that cannot be detected by the ability, so we can only go into battle ourselves.

Zombies, survivors, mutant beasts, mutated plants, every hidden danger must be eliminated, especially extraordinary dangers, witchcraft, evil magic, spells, these are all threats that we need to eliminate.

Nini only said that Gu Yu and I can't be separated in the Source Stone Mine, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to go it alone now.

The buildings in the town are really not dense, and the only trouble is that we have to go in and check every building.

There are public security bureaus, schools and hospitals in the direction I am responsible for, and there are no bodies in the public security bureau, but the hospital is full of bones.

All the medicines and medical equipment were emptied, not even the bedding on the hospital bed, and I walked into the school that was most likely to be a shelter, and sure enough, the gate and courtyard walls were heightened and reinforced, and there were temporary houses built on the playground.

It's just that it looks like it's been idle for a long time, pots and pans, bedding and cotton clothes are all there, obviously the people here are either suddenly evacuated or have evaporated from the world, because I don't see any signs of zombies breaking in.

Walking into the teaching building, traces of people's lives can be seen everywhere, and someone in the classroom has built a stove to boil water and cook.

Perhaps because there were no chimneys, the windows had to be opened when the fire was burned, and some of the windows remained open.

There was no blood, no corpses, and if people hadn't suddenly evaporated, they must have been in a hurry.

I walked around the building, from the back door of the school building to the playground behind the building, and a huge pit came into my sight.

The diameter of the pit was about ten meters, but I couldn't estimate the depth because the pit was so full of corpses that I couldn't see the bottom.

The top layer of corpses was only a foot deep from the ground, crisscrossed with corpses, apparently not thrown into it while they were alive.

This is a corpse pit, used to hold the dead, but there is no filling, no centralized burning, maybe it is too late, but so many people died at the same time without a zombie attack, the biggest possibility is a contagious disease, or a collective execution.

But there were no external injuries on the body, the clothes were intact, there were no bullet holes or bloodstains, and I thought it was more likely that he would die from the disease.

Then the person in charge of handling the corpses must be anxious to stay away from the source of these diseases, and for safety reasons, I did not come into close contact with these corpses.

I walked to the back door of the school and found that the gate was locked, but the small door that opened on the gate was open and someone had gone out.

The back door was also reinforced, with barbed wire and homemade barricades tied to it with all the tools at its disposal, fruit knives, screwdrivers, sharpened sticks.

I am afraid that only people can successfully pass through these dense and complex obstacles, as evidenced by the zombie corpses entangled in barbed wire.

The survivors first trap the zombies with obstacles, and then cut off their heads, which is really safe and effective against ordinary zombies.

However, the premise is that the number of zombies does not exceed that of the survivors, and if you encounter a large number of zombies, this obstacle cannot be stopped at all.

The reason for the death of the survivor Mo Ming is more important to me than the zombies, and we have Xun Bishan in our team, she is an ordinary person, and she is likely to contract this unknown disease.

I tapped the other three with a mental hammer, and they immediately rushed to my location, and I led them to the graves in the playground to discern the means of death that they were better than I was.

While they were examining the bodies, I returned to the school building and searched through the relics left behind by the survivors.

When the survivors escaped, it seemed that no one had anything like a pen or paper with them, and I couldn't even find a piece of waste paper after a long day of rummaging.

I searched directly to the principal's office, and found some recorded texts in it, and the person who recorded it was the principal of this school.

When the disaster broke out, the armed police officers and soldiers who had lost contact with the higher authorities helped the survivors in the town to retreat to the school for refuge.

However, the horrific new infectious disease reappeared among the survivors, only 4 hours from the onset to death, the first case was detected in the early morning of the seventh day after the disaster, the symptoms were unexplained coma, 1 hour later subcutaneous blood spots, 4 hours of death.

Twenty-four hours later, there were few survivors in the school, and only 10 people were left in the camp of 1,000 people.

According to the record, the order of infection is related to age, and the first to fall are all young people, starting with young children, and the last ten are old people, including the principal himself.

They decided to leave the school to ask for help, and at the bottom of the record, asked the person who found the information to help bury the deceased.

I walked to the window and looked at the corpse pit on the playground, and secretly said that this pit was dug by a latecomer, but why only fill in the corpse and not bury the soil?

Just as Gu Yu looked up and saw me and beckoned to me, I quickly walked downstairs to Gu Yu's side and told them the information I had seen in the principal's office.

"According to this, the person who digs the corpse pit should be the one who slaughtered the city, they killed the zombies, collected supplies, and then found this place and helped the principal bury the dead." Long Tao said.

"It's very close to the time of the second mutation." Gu Yu said, "The record doesn't say that any of the survivors have awakened abilities, so ......"

"So they all died from the second mutation failure!" Hu Tao looked at the corpses piled up in the pit and said.
