Volume 2 Mortal Glimmer Chapter 83 Desperate Rush to the Camp

This kind of insect carrying a highly contagious puppet virus in its mouthparts is the most formidable creature in the wilderness, once the number gathers to a certain extent, there are almost no natural predators, even giant mutant creatures with a body size of more than tens of meters, they will walk around when they encounter them.

Once the bite is contaminated with the puppet virus, the central nervous system of the infected person will be controlled and tampered with within a few seconds, falling into a manic state similar to drug use, and the life energy and cell activity are also catalyzed in a very short period of time, and are released like an explosion, during which the combat effectiveness can often be increased several times.

Of course, the consequences of such an outbreak at any cost are also disastrous, and the infected person will consume all life energy within a few hours to a week, and eventually wither and die.

In this group of refugees, more than one-fifth of the infected people have been infected, and although the remaining displaced people are not infected, their physical strength is gradually exhausted in the running close to the limit.

If this continues, sooner or later this team will be wiped out.

No, continue to walk with these people, as time goes by, the number of infected people will increase, and their situation will only become more and more dangerous.

Chen Yu's heart beat faster, the blood in his body boiled, he picked up Qiyue, and the speed of running accelerated a lot.

At a fork in the road, Chen Yu turned around and broke away from the team of displaced people.

Some of the clever people in the team also saw this, and broke away from the team one after another, scattering and fleeing.

Chen Yu ran with his head buried in his arms for a while, and there were no refugees behind him, and he was about to stop to catch his breath, but he heard a burst of exclamations from July.

"Chen Yu, stop, there's something ahead!"

Chen Yu looked up, but saw more than a dozen figures in front of him rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed, and the sharp scythe in the front of his arm flickered from time to time.

They travel in a very different way than humans, jumping several meters like fleas, leaping forward at a very fast frequency.

With the strength of human bones and muscles, it is simply impossible to support such a high-intensity jump, and the strength of the limbs is not enough to support it.

Chen Yu's eyes froze, and he recognized them, they were cutters. With the speed of these monsters, once he had a head-on battle with them, Chen Yu thought to himself that it would be difficult for him to help each other to be safe.

Chen Yu scolded secretly, and could only turn around and run in the opposite direction.

He felt his alveoli burning hot, and every breath he took brought pain to his trachea.

Chen Yu himself was extremely seriously injured, especially the wound left by the battle with the six-armed demon ape, which was still oozing blood, and the muscles near the wound were only slightly moving, which would also bring tearing pain.

He also carried dozens of pounds of weight on his back, all of which were necessities such as food and water, which were the most precious things when fleeing, and he couldn't lose weight at all. Not to mention, with a child in his arms.

His running speed was not at all comparable to that of the lightly armed monsters, and the distance between the cutters and Chen Yu was getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was less than a hundred meters.

Chen Yu gritted his teeth, ready to drop his backpack and get through the difficulties in front of him first.

At this time, July suddenly shouted.

"There's a sign over there! It is a military exclusion zone. ”

Chen Yu looked at it, and there was a circular warning sign erected on the side of the road not far away, with a big cross painted with red paint on top of the white background spray paint. Directly below the pattern is also printed a line of words, "No entry!" ”

It's a sign of a military restricted area, and by mistake, they actually ran to this military base.

Chen Yu's spirit was shocked, and he felt that his pace was much lighter, and he turned his head to look at the cutter who was only sixty meters away from them.

He silently calculated the distance, and with a fight, he should be able to run into the range of fire of the forward base before the monsters catch up.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of discarding the backpack, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and ran into the range of your warning sign.

What made him complain was that the last part of the road was an uphill slope of more than ten degrees, which was very unfriendly to him when his physical strength was extreme, his legs were almost as heavy as lead, and every cell seemed to be shouting to stop and rest.

Chen Yu insisted with a strong will to survive, and ran out for a few hundred meters, until July, who had been staring at the back, suddenly said, "The monster suddenly stopped chasing", Chen Yu did it with a butt, gasping for breath.

Sure enough, more than a dozen cutters pounced on the warning sign for a while, and they retreated one after another.

Not far ahead, outside the towering barbed wire, thousands of displaced people had gathered, beating the barbed wire in front of them, shouting loudly.

More than a dozen meters inside the wire ring, a three-meter-high watchtower was erected, and two gun-wielding soldiers looked into the distance, calmly, ignoring the riots below.

"Open the door and let us in!"

"Those monsters may come after them at any time, do you want to kill us?"

"We haven't eaten in a few days, please, give us some to eat!"

“……”

However, no matter how much the displaced people pleaded or cursed, the soldiers on the watchtower remained indifferent and did not say a word.

Finally, a few sturdy homeless people could no longer hold on, and grabbed the gap in the barbed wire to climb in, and just as they straddled the top fence, the gunshots rang out.

The outcast's chest. A cloud of blood mist burst out, and he fell headlong weakly.

The homeless people were like a cold slap in the head, and they instantly fell silent.

There was silence for a moment, and the crowd bounced back louder.

"You soldiers, how can you shoot civilians."

"The duty of a soldier is to protect the Union and the people, have you forgotten?"

“……”

The sentry indifferently pointed to the warning sign hanging from the barbed wire, and his voice was cold:

"Military stronghold, trespassers die!"

The soldier's indifference added fuel to the fire, and the crowd boiled even more.

"We just want to live, is that wrong?"

"There are thousands of people here, do you cold-blooded butchers want to slaughter them cleanly?"

"If you don't have the ability to expel the rampaging mutant creatures, you vent your anger with unarmed civilians?"

“……”

In the crowd, a middle-aged fat man held up a dark red document and shouted to the soldiers:

"I'm Jiang Ping, the director of the Urban Construction Department of the Transportation Department, let you chief come out, I have something to say."

Seeing that the soldier didn't react, he roared angrily, "I know that you don't count what the big soldier said, why don't you call your commander out quickly, and delay the big thing, and you have to deal with the corporal one by one?" ”

The soldier hesitated for a moment, but still contacted his superiors through the walkie-talkie. If the officials of such a safe city are left alone, if the other party has an accident and someone investigates it, he is likely to be used as a scapegoat.

"Company commander, there is a person who claims to be the director of the Urban Construction Division of the Transportation Department, and he said that he has something important to see."

"Did he say anything?"

"Nope!"

"Got it!" The company commander didn't take this matter to heart, he was about to let the sentry ignore the other party, but he didn't know what he thought, so he hesitated, "No one can be let in without an order." ”

After the end of the communication, the company commander then reported to his superiors.

In this way, the news was directly reported to the head of the regiment, Zheng Xiao.

The staff officer looked at the supreme commander of the base standing in front of the sand table with his positive and negative hands, and did not get a response for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"Commander, the number of displaced people outside is accumulating more and more, I'm afraid that if we let it go, there will be chaos."

"Well, what do you think should be done?"

"Those displaced people must be expelled as soon as possible, but some of them are extraordinary, and it is better to bring them in. That Jiang Ping took out his certificate, no matter whether the identity is true or false, if we don't do screening, once it is known by the above, I am afraid that you will also be implicated. There are many people outside, and it is difficult to hide the news that he has appeared outside our base! ”

"What if other homeless people take advantage of the chaos to storm the base when he is let in? In the event of a large-scale impact on the displaced populations, do they really have to shoot them all? Not to mention that the number of displaced people is several times that of us, I am afraid that as soon as I give the order, the morale of the army at the base will be chaotic! ”

"This ......," the staff officer pondered for a moment, "then kill Jiang Ping directly, on the grounds that he is pretending to be a federal official and has ill intentions." ”

The head of the regiment, Zheng Xiao, did not respond to the staff officer's opinion, he was also a little entangled, and after a moment of silence, he turned to look at the staff officer, "It's too stuffy in the room, go, go out with me!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the forward base did not mean to accept the displaced people, Chen Yu was also a little anxious, but after just a little thought, he understood the other party's scruples.

The number of displaced people even exceeds that of the soldiers at the base, and once the displaced people are released, not to mention whether the food at the base will be insufficient, but only to say that the order and management of the base will be greatly chaotic, and troops will be allocated to guard and manage it.

Once it is attacked by large-scale mutant creatures at this time, it will be difficult for the defense line of the military base to organize an effective counterattack, and the result will be fatal.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu's heart was shocked, and a bad guess suddenly came to life.

How could these homeless people be so clear about the location of the advance base?

If a few people who are related know this, it is reasonable, but where did so many ordinary homeless people with yellow faces and thin muscles get the news?

How could they possibly have the strength to break through the blockade of mutant creatures?

If there are only a few people, it doesn't matter, the scale of these thousands of people is still distributed in multiple settlements, they are not lost, they are not targeted by mutated creatures, there is no one to command and guide them, and it is too unbelievable to be able to gather here accurately!

At this time, several officer-like people came to the guard tower, headed by two bars and two stars on the epaulettes, a lieutenant colonel, who should be the commander of the base.

When the man named Jiang Ping saw the lieutenant colonel, he immediately became eager, waving his ID and shouting to the lieutenant colonel, "Commander Zheng Xiao, I am Jiang Ping from the Transportation Department, and we met at the dinner organized by the military department a few months ago. ”

Zheng Xiao raised his eyebrows, "It turned out to be Director Jiang, so there is no need for greetings." I'm busy with military affairs, so let's make a long story short if you have something to do. ”

Jiang Ping saw that the other party didn't mean to let him go, and he was instantly anxious, "Head Zheng, I have important information that needs to be reported to you separately, it involves confidentiality, and it is inconvenient to talk here." ”

"Since it's confidential, I'm soft-spoken, but I still don't listen!"

As he spoke, Zheng Xiao turned around and walked back!

Jiang Ping was driven crazy by Zheng Xiao's rogue behavior, he just wanted to find a way to sneak into the base, how could there be any real information!

Seeing that Zheng Xiao was about to go away, Jiang Ping was about to despair, this is, suddenly heard a man's voice sound:

"Captain Zheng stays, I know the movements of mutated creatures near the base."

Zheng Xiao stopped and turned around, and it was a young man holding a little girl in his arms who spoke, unlike the panic of other homeless people, this person looked calm, and seemed to have a bamboo in his chest.

Zheng Xiao stared at Chen Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to see hypocrisy and cowardice in them, but he was disappointed, and the man's gaze was always unwavering.

"Tell me about it!"
