Chapter 180: Three Capable Ones
While it was still early, Xiao Ran set off.
The northern suburbs of the mine are far away, more than 30 kilometers away from the air-raid shelter, even if Xiao Ran is already a powerful person, this journey will take two hours.
From half past eight in the morning to half past ten, Xiao Ran finally came to the northern suburbs mine.
It's so desolate that it's barely populated, and if it weren't for the fact that there's a road underfoot, it's estimated that few people would have walked this way.
The road was built to bring down the ore from the mines, and it has not been repaired for many years, and after the earthquake, the road condition is not very good, and the average family car cannot pass through it at all, and only off-road vehicles can barely drive through.
Xiao Ran noticed that there were still traces left by vehicles on the road, thinking that people in the mine often drove to the vicinity of Los Angeles to search for supplies, so they left such traces.
Moving along the road, Xiao Ran soon saw the fortifications built entirely of stone.
Such fortifications are difficult to defend against human attacks, but they should be enough to deal with ordinary zombies.
Moreover, there are very few zombies in the northern suburbs of the mine, and they will hardly take the initiative to attack the mine, so normally, there should not be too many guards here in the fortifications.
But Xiao Ran could see through the telescope that there were at least ten guards behind these fortifications, and these guards did not stand still, but got up every few minutes to patrol, not letting go of any blind spots.
When he saw this, Xiao Ran knew that Zhao Xue must have obtained the actual control of the mine, otherwise these people would not be so vigilant.
Xiao Ran stopped in place and let the evolved zombie fly into the air to observe the situation, while he continued to observe with a telescope.
The stone fortifications were the first line of defense, and there were two more fortifications in the back, and they were no longer simply built of stones, but were poured with cement, which made them look stronger.
Behind these three fortifications is a row of houses.
These houses were originally just miners' dormitories, and the conditions were very poor, and Boss Meng couldn't look down on them at all, but now it's different, if you don't live in these miners' dormitories, you can only go outside to get cold, or find caves to shelter from the wind and rain, so these houses have become the exclusive property of Boss Meng and his younger brothers, and the original miners have all been driven out.
Xiao Ran's gaze fell on those houses, carefully observing everyone who came out of the room, wanting to find Zhao Xue's traces.
But it's a pity that Zhao Xue has become extremely careful since she was targeted by Xiao Ran a few times, and she will never show up if she can, Xiao Ran has not found any trace of Zhao Xue after observing for half an hour.
Even the evolved zombies flying in the air did not find any trace of Zhao Xue, which made Xiao Ran a little headache.
If Zhao Xue was not found, she couldn't be sure where she was, if she rushed up, maybe Zhao Xue would escape again, so Xiao Ran called the evolved zombie back and changed to another method.
When he came over, Xiao Ran noticed that although there were not many zombies around the mine, there were hundreds, but they were very scattered, and there were no evolutionary zombies, so it was completely a state of scattered sand.
But if there are evolved zombies, these ordinary zombies can be organized and burst out with powerful combat power.
Since Zhao Xue refused to show up, Xiao Ran forced her to show up!
Xiao Ran asked the Evolved Zombies to gather all the ordinary zombies near the mine and launch an attack on the mine, he didn't believe that Zhao Xue could still sit still when he encountered a crisis.
The evolved zombies soon went to work, and Xiao Ran continued to stay where he was to observe.
More than half an hour later, the evolved zombies returned, and Xiao Ran saw through the telescope that more than three hundred ordinary zombies had been assembled less than a thousand meters away from the mine.
It's not a lot, but it's enough to be a threat to the people in the mine.
Xiao Ran nodded, letting these ordinary zombies launch an attack on the mine.
When the ordinary zombies were still more than 200 meters away from the first fortification, the guards behind the fortifications finally discovered the existence of the zombies and hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie to report the situation.
In a short time, dozens of people rushed out from behind the third fortification, holding all sorts of guys in their hands.
Xiao Ran took a closer look and found that someone was holding a shotgun, a gun, and a detonator.
These two things are clearly forbidden, but they are not uncommon in mines.
People who can start a mine have a great background, and it is not difficult to engage in some contraband.
When the zombies rushed fifty meters away from the first fortification, someone threw out the detonator.
Rumble!
With an explosion, several ordinary zombies were blown to the ground, but this did not affect the other zombies to continue to charge.
Waiting for the zombies to approach, the people on the mine relied on the fortifications to counterattack, and the shotguns fired frequently, temporarily blocking the zombies' attacks.
Xiao Ran was not interested after watching it for a while, such a low-intensity battle was really not interesting at all.
He moved his gaze to the row of houses again, and this time he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a cigarette in his mouth, condescending to look at the zombies that were constantly attacking, and the corners of his mouth were very disdainful.
Although there were a lot of zombies, he didn't think that these zombies would be able to rush in.
Besides, he has completed his awakening after entering the apocalypse for so long, and he still has two capable people under his hands, otherwise he would not have been able to occupy the mine for such a long time.
As long as the capable person makes a move, he can easily take down ordinary zombies.
Xiao Ran had never seen Boss Meng in his previous life, but through observation, he was completely sure that this man in a suit and leather shoes was Boss Meng.
There are two more people behind Boss Meng, and there are also strong energy fluctuations on their bodies, and they are also capable people.
There are three capable people, including Boss Meng, and this is what Xiao Ran is currently seeing.
But Xiao Ran still didn't find any trace of Zhao Xue, which was a bit incomprehensible.
With so many zombies attacking outside, didn't Zhao Xue come out to take a look?
When ordinary zombies attacked, they were not afraid of death, they only knew how to rush forward, and they would never retreat without the order of the evolved zombies, so even if these dozens of people in the mine relied on the fortifications to defend and had shotguns, guns and thunderbolts in their hands, they still couldn't completely resist the zombies' attacks, and they had to retreat to the second fortifications after only holding on for five minutes.
The second line of fortifications was higher, stronger, and easier to defend.
When Boss Meng saw this scene, he waved his hand at the capable person on the right, and the capable person rushed out.
Xiao Ran was immediately interested, although he hadn't found any trace of Zhao Xue yet, he could first see what kind of abilities Boss Meng and the three capable people had obtained, and then decide what way to use when he started.
When the capable man charged towards the zombie, his hands began to change.
The palms of the hands became larger and thicker, the fingers became sharper, and the nails turned into blades, glowing with cold light.
When he saw this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be surprised: transformation ability!
Although it's just not a complete transformation, it's a relatively rare ability.
