Chapter 580: "Desert"

The day after the end of the disinfection operation.

An off-road vehicle silently approached the town of Danina.

Suddenly, the car slammed and the tires seemed to sink into the sand.

"Huh? Has it arrived? ”

The driver was a middle-aged white man with a pockmarked face, and the co-pilot was a blonde young man with an equally pockmarked face.

When they opened the door, they found that the asphalt road under their feet had disappeared and turned into a black-gray sandy substance.

The young man squatted down and took a handful of black-gray sand: "The asphalt pavement has been completely destroyed, it's terrible." ”

The middle-aged man in a cowboy hat carried an assault rifle and a backpack: "We should have entered the disinfection area, put on a gas mask." ”

Grabbed the gas mask and fastened it to his face, and the young man also took out his firearm and backpack from the car.

Then the two of them worked together to reverse the SUV out, put it in the grove next to the road, and pulled out a snow camouflage cloth to cover the car.

"Let's go!"

Along the road, they cautiously approached the town of Danina.

The route was almost devastated, and since there was no snow in the past few days, there was no trace of the disinfection operation buried by snow and ice.

Sandy asphalt roads.

Fallen trees.

Completely melted snow.

At first, the two of them encountered a fallen cedar tree on the road and tried to get around it, because some of the trees had not yet completely desertified.

But as they went deeper, they found that trees basically rot at the touch of a button, like wood products that have been corroded for decades, and they fall apart at the slightest touch.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped, because the highway bridge in front of them had changed beyond recognition, part of the asphalt pavement had turned into sand, and part of the cement structure had also exposed the steel bars inside.

The young man gasped: "It's terrifying! ”

"Take the river." The middle-aged man walked towards the small river on the side.

Although the ice in the river was melted due to yesterday's disinfection action, the local temperature was basically minus 5~12 degrees Celsius, and after a night of freezing, the river basically froze again.

Moreover, this small river is dry in winter, and there is not much water in the river, so the two of them found a shoal and crossed the river by stepping on stones.

Half an hour later, they were on the side of the road about 1.4 kilometers from the town of Danina, and they could already see the situation inside the town through the telescope.

However, according to the situation along the way, the two of them already knew the situation in the town.

Even the concrete and rock are "corroded" to a pulp, not to mention those in the heartland.

"Someone!?" The middle-aged man quickly pulled the young man to lie down, and the snow camouflage uniforms on the two of them made them blend in with the ground.

Through a telescope.

They saw a dozen armed men with guns, who were inside the town.

Inside the town of Danina at this time.

An armed force subordinate to the bald man, because he had not contacted the bald man's side for a day and a night, was worried that something would happen, so he sent a reconnaissance team to Danina Town today to check the situation.

In fact, as soon as they entered the 5-kilometer radius, the reconnaissance team was not good.

The team leader looked at the completely collapsed villa and the "corpses" on the ground, his face was completely bloodless, and only endless fear remained.

Not only did the wood of the villa rot at the slightest touch, but the corpses also died horribly.

Because the corpse was only a skeleton and a layer of skin, there was still some frozen unidentified blood around the corpse.

This is because the body's cells completely collapse under a large dose of long-term gamma radiation, which in turn causes the muscles and organs to dissolve, and some of the water molecules are broken down into hydrogen and oxygen, and in the end, only a simple skeleton and skin sacs remain.

Faced with this method of death, the rebel militia, who had no relevant experience, was suddenly scared stupid.

One of the scouts was frightened and shouted like crazy: "No, I want to go home!" Oh, God! Please forgive me! ”

"Barry! Calm down! The team leader immediately clasped the opponent's hands to prevent the opponent from getting the gun.

The others, though terrified, did not go mad.

The team leader tied Barry's hands first, and then yelled at the others, "Don't be sluggish, go take pictures." ”

The trembling scouts hurriedly took pictures of the surrounding buildings and corpses.

The squad leader personally inspected the vehicles and towed artillery, guns and ammunition.

He picked up a Remington shotgun and found that the plastic parts inside were completely rotten, and the specialized shotguns were also scrapped, after all, the shells of the shotguns were all plastic.

Picking up another M16 assault rifle, he found that the old assault rifle was fine, and since there were not many plastic parts, both loading and safety could be activated.

But the squad leader did not shoot, but tied the assault rifle to the frame of the armored car and tied it to the trigger with a rope.

He didn't dare to pull the trigger directly and shoot, mainly because he was afraid of exploding, after all, everything around him was completely rotten, and he couldn't be sure if the rifle was aging.

A dozen meters away, he hid behind a pickup truck and then pulled the rope.

"Huh? No shots? ”

After pulling again, but still not firing, he ran over, withdrew the bullets from his rifle, and looked at the bullets carefully, which he estimated were also scrapped.

From the carry-on magazine, a bullet was rolled out and loaded into the assault rifle.

Pull the rope again.

Bang!

This time it was a successful shot.

But there was no joy on the squad leader's face, because he saw the assault rifle blow up: "Damn! The rifle is also aging! ”

After taking pictures, he no longer had any hope for towing artillery and mortars.

Regardless of the fact that there is no damage to the surface of the metal weapons, in fact, the crystal lattice of the metal parts has been irreversibly damaged, and the structural strength has fallen off a cliff, and these weapons will definitely explode once they are used.

The team leader led a group of scouts to investigate here for more than an hour, and in the end, they didn't find anything useful, so they hurriedly drove the pickup truck away.

Watch as the rebel reconnaissance squad marches away.

The two intelligence officers who belonged to the council also quickly appeared in the town.

Looking at the collapsed villa, the corpses covered with skin and bones, and the rifle that exploded, the two of them looked at it in silence.

"It's dead."

"Yes! Really clean! ”

Although they were calm on the surface, their slightly trembling feet betrayed their inner turmoil.

"Let's go! Let's go to the base and find out. ”

More than twenty minutes later.

At the gate of the base in the mountain forest, two figures appeared here silently.

The original sturdy iron gate was completely cracked open after a few blows with a hand axe.

As soon as the door was opened, an indescribable gas came out of it.

This is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, and due to the relatively confined space inside the base, the oxygen and hydrogen after the decomposition of organisms and water bodies cannot be discharged in time.

The two of them did not enter at the first time, but waited for half an hour before cautiously entering the base.

Upon entering, all facilities exhibit varying degrees of aging and decay.

The thought that there was more than ten meters of dirt and rocks on this base, and there was still no way to block the Gama rays of Homo sapiens, the awe of Homo sapiens became stronger in their hearts.

The people inside the base are all skinny and bone-like, but due to the relatively high temperature, there is still a large amount of soup and water around these corpses, which is emitting an indescribable stench.

They went to the freezer where the biological products were stored and found that it had been completely destroyed, and not a single bacterium had survived.
