Chapter 62: Striking the West (5)
In Xu Jingqiu's eyes, Lu Chengcheng is like a heavenly soldier who fell from the sky, and he is the great savior in his heart.
But in fact, Lu Cheng didn't have such a great dedication, he got up early this morning and saw the message sent by Xu Jingqiu, and he knew that it was not good.
At first, I thought it was someone from the Skeleton Gang in Beicheng who attacked Xu Jingqiu's shelter.
So Lu Cheng was prepared for the worst and came over to fight a bloody battle with the Beicheng Skull Gang.
After all, Xu Jingqiu's combat effectiveness is still very important to Lu Cheng now.
The arsenal must definitely be taken, and in the later stage, the Central Medical College may also use Xu Jingqiu's strength.
Besides, it was not easy to come across a large-scale friendly survivor shelter, and Lu Cheng still hoped that they could develop smoothly.
Even if it's to help yourself fight the alienation crystal nucleus, it's good to be cheap labor.
Whether it is public or private, Lu Chengdu has a reason to help Xu Jingqiu's shelter.
So early in the morning, he went to find Du Zi and them on Jiang Lei's side, packed up all kinds of weapons and equipment, and drove two cars straight to Xu Jingqiu's shelter.
Coincidentally, when I arrived at the door of the shelter, I happened to see Xu Jingqiu and they were about to drive out.
And when Lu Cheng saw that Xu Jingqiu's shelter did not look like it was being attacked on a large scale, he was also relieved.
After all, Xu Jingqiu didn't say it in such detail in the text message.
After meeting with Xu Jingqiu here and exchanging information with each other, Lu Chengcai finally understood what was going on.
"If the Beicheng Skull Gang can't reach the bridge, then Officer Xu, who do you think attacked those team members?"
Lu Cheng raised his own question, he was also thinking about the survivors from outside, and Xu Jingqiu thought for a while and said:
"To be honest, I know of the only shelter that can grow in the neighborhood at the moment.
But they don't have a road to the barracks bridge, and they have to take our way to get there, but they haven't seen anyone for the past two days. ”
Officer Xu bit his finger and continued.
"In other words, it shouldn't be the Skeleton Gang, and if the survivors attack them, there should be information back as soon as possible.
But yesterday there was really no information at all, as if they had evaporated out of thin air and lost contact. ”
A young man who was next to Officer Xu also said immediately.
"That's right, Sister Wu, there are more than a dozen people on their side, and they are also equipped with five pistols.
Even if you encounter dozens or hundreds of zombies that suddenly appear, you can run away, but there was no news at all yesterday. ”
Lu Cheng also frowned after hearing this.
"Then according to your statement, Officer Xu, do you think that the survivors did not do this?"
As soon as Lu Cheng's words came out, the faces of the others changed in unison.
"Brother Lu Cheng, you don't mean to say that it's those zombies in the barracks, right?"
"Although it is indeed difficult for the survivors to attack Sister Wu and them silently, it is not completely impossible, the zombies should not be, right?"
"But if it's really the zombies in there that run out, at that speed, Sister Wu and they may really have no time to react."
"But there are already fortifications on the other side of the bridge, so those zombies can't sneak around the river and sneak up from behind."
Someone mentioned this, but seeing that neither Lu Cheng nor Xu Jingqiu refuted it, he was stunned for a moment.
Everyone then understood, it turned out that Lu Cheng and Xu Jingqiu were worried about this, but when they thought about it, they felt that it was too ridiculous.
And this is all because they have not seen the power of alienated zombies.
Lu Cheng himself was originally an alienated zombie, and he would never overestimate the ability of alienated zombies, not underestimate them.
Although Lu Cheng also felt that the possibility was not high, there was only this possibility after thinking about it.
After all, the biggest enemy is in the barracks, those fast-moving zombies.
It can't be that a large number of survivors have come from outside to sneak up on that side.
When the group was in shock, Xu Jingqiu knocked on the table and said.
"Whether it's an attack by unknown survivors, or the zombies in the real barracks attacking,
It's not good news for us, there are our people over there, we definitely can't ignore it, we must go to the bridge to have a look today. ”
The others also nodded, and Lu Cheng thought the same way.
He absolutely cannot give up the weapons and equipment in the barracks to outsiders.
What's more, there is likely to be a baron-level zombie in the barracks, and if you want to upgrade, the barracks is a place you must see.
Instead of going back and going over to adventure alone, it is better to go over with Xu Jingqiu and dozens of others now, and the safety can be more guaranteed.
After the two parties met, there was no ink after a little total.
Xu Jingqiu was able to produce more than 30 people here, and there were a total of seven or eight cars, and they were all together, and they walked along the road towards the barracks.
That military camp is nearly twenty kilometers away from Xu Jingqiu.
Fortunately, there were not too many cars blocking the road along the way, and the convoy drove all the way unimpeded, and it took half an hour to reach the vicinity of the barracks.
Because of the distance from the city, there are not many zombies nearby.
In addition, Xu Jingqiu had brought people here a few times before and cleaned them up, so there was no living thing in the woods.
"The bridge is in front, about a kilometer away, and further from here there are forest paths."
Xu Jingqiu stood in front of the convoy, looked around with a telescope, and then said to Lu Cheng:
"It's not much different here than the last time I left, and it seems that Sister Wu hasn't retreated from the bridge."
Lu Cheng wasn't very familiar with this place, but he still took the telescope from the person next to him and pretended to look in the direction Xu Jingqiu pointed.
In fact, with Lu Cheng's eagle eye skills, he doesn't need such a telescope at all, his field of vision is very wide, and he can see far away.
He had noticed some strange marks in the woods.
After confirming that those traces looked like a large group of people had run, and there were traces of something being dragged, Lu Cheng put down the telescope and said:
"There seem to be a lot of traces over there, let's go check it out."
Xu Jingqiu nodded, then waved his hand behind him and ordered:
"According to the way we trained before, a small team of five people spread out, pulled into a row to advance, and if there was any movement, the whistle was immediately blown to warn."
"Yes!"
I have to say that Xu Jingqiu still has a hand in training people.
After all, they have been in the special forces, and these civilians have begun to bear fruit after this period of training.
Even if you are wearing ordinary clothes, the posture of holding a firearm, or a bow and spear is quite standard.
The most important thing is that each of them cooperated quite tacitly, and the five of them gathered together and pushed into the woods in a horizontal line.
Such a formation can not only be seen from the left and right, front and back, but also has a wide field of vision, and any movement can alert other people at the first time.
However, in terms of Lu Cheng's strength and vision, there is no need to move forward in this formation.
Lu Cheng could see far away, at least there was no danger in the vicinity.
Everyone soon arrived at the place Lu Cheng pointed out and saw those traces in the woods.
A middle-aged man with a lot of experience in the field observed it, then looked up at Xu Jingqiu and said:
"Captain Xu, these footprints are all from military boots."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the faces of the others changed in unison.
"No, could it really be that those zombies in the barracks ran out to attack Sister Wu?"
The others looked dazed, but soon they found more traces ahead.
In addition to the footprints of those military boots, there were many traces of being dragged and blood and flesh on the ground.
And when I got to the bridge, I saw all kinds of blood stains and bitten off stump flesh.
There is so much evidence in front of me that the people who attacked Sister Wu and the others were the zombies who ran fast in the barracks.
Some of the younger ones had white faces, and they didn't know what to say, so Xu Jingqiu's brows furrowed even tighter.
If you say, you were counting on being able to use the noise to attract the zombies in the barracks.
Then use the fortifications on the bridge, consume them seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and then enter the barracks, and now this plan can be said to be completely ruined.
If the other side can act collectively and bypass the river, it will be useless to attack this fortification from behind.
Someone took a fancy to Xu Jingqiu and asked with some trepidation:
"Captain Xu, what should we do now?"
Xu Jingqiu didn't know what to do for a while, and looked up at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"These zombies who attacked them did not eat their corpses on the spot, but dragged them away, judging from the bloodstains, they were dragged to the other side of the river, and the other side of the river is the military camp, right?"
Xu Jingqiu nodded and said:
"That's right, after crossing the river, less than two kilometers from the forest, you can see the wall of the barracks."
"That seems to be right, these people should have been dragged into the barracks by those zombies."
A young man who looked to be in his early twenties asked:
"What are they dragging the corpses into the barracks for?"
This young man obviously doesn't have a lot of knowledge, and the middle-aged man who has a lot of hunting experience before said:
"You've seen ants gather food, right? None of them eat on the spot, but bring it back to the nest.
Looking at it now, that military camp is obviously their lair, they have a unified plan of action, and they can cooperate with each other.
After hunting humans, they also knew that they would drag the corpses back, and they didn't know that there was a zombie leader like the queen ant inside. ”
Lu Cheng saw that this middle-aged man was very organized and logical, and nodded silently, he thought the same thing.
Xu Jingqiu saw Lu Cheng's eyes and introduced on the side:
"This eldest brother is called Gu Ming, he used to be a shooting enthusiast, and later became an amateur hunter, and he has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild."
Gu Ming waved his hand and said:
"It's not rich, if you really want to talk about the hard work of real knives and guns, I'm still not as good as Lu Cheng's little brother."
"You're welcome."
Now is not the time to brag to each other, and in this situation, everyone does not know whether to move on or retreat to the shelter.
After Lu Cheng analyzed it carefully, he quickly said:
"Obviously, just like Brother Gu said, if you don't do well in the barracks, there are really queen ant zombies.
Moreover, the zombies in the barracks are obviously constantly evolving over time, and if you delay it a little longer, I'm afraid your shelter will be in danger. ”
The reason is so, but everyone knows that if you forcibly attack the military base, even if you can kill all the zombies that are running fast, they will probably lose a lot of money.
Xu Jingqiu thought for a while and said:
"If there is a way to directly find the boss zombie in the barracks and kill him, I don't know if these ordinary zombies will be easier to solve."
"I don't know, but I can try."
As soon as Lu Cheng finished speaking, Gu Ming next to him immediately asked:
"Little Brother Lu Cheng, do you have any way to find that boss zombie?"
Lu Cheng didn't hide it, nodded and said:
"Maybe most of you don't know my abilities yet, I can manipulate zombies in a short period of time.
If you can get close to that barracks, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to find the existence and specific location of the boss zombies in the barracks.
As long as there is really this boss zombie and find a way to behead it, the zombies in the barracks should be able to solve a lot of problems. ”
Xu Jingqiu's eyes also lit up, but he quickly said:
"But even if you find the location of the boss zombie, it's not so easy to behead it, and the last time we came here together, we almost planted it inside."
Gu Ming hesitated for a moment and said:
"Captain Xu, what if you lure out all the zombies inside, and then send a team to carry out the decapitation operation."
This is exactly what Lu Cheng wanted to say, but most of them here are people from Xu Jingqiu's shelter.
It was not convenient for him to directly propose this plan, after all, most people must stay to lure out zombies, and they have no ability to deal with alienated zombies.
If Lu Cheng said it, it seemed that they would be used as bait to attract other zombies.
And Xu Jingqiu quickly considered the execution of this plan, and immediately looked at Lu Cheng and said:
"That's fine, as long as we're here, we can hold off most of the zombies.
With Lu Cheng's strength, bring some people with good skills in, and you should be able to deal with the boss zombie, of course, if this boss zombie really exists. ”
Lu Cheng was embarrassed:
"This ...... It's not good, I can't really let you be bait to attract other zombies here. ”
When Gu Ming heard that Lu Cheng was in trouble, he immediately said.
"Brother Lu Cheng, don't worry about us.
But we should be embarrassed to ask you to take the risk for us and go in and solve the problem at hand.
These zombies, just running fast, we already find it difficult to deal with.
If they continue to evolve and expand their range to our sanctuary, we will never be at peace.
Brother Lu Cheng, this time, it is our dozens of brothers begging you, you can help us with this. ”
When the other people heard Gu Ming's words, they also understood at once, and immediately echoed them.
"Yes, Brother Lu Cheng, it's you who is bothering us, it's really us bothering you."
"Alas, I'm embarrassed, Brother Lu Cheng, if you can help us get rid of the boss zombies in the barracks, you should take the lion's share of the arms in the barracks!"
"That's right, that's right, as long as we can solve the current problem, we don't need those arms."
A group of people now regard Lu Cheng as their last support, and they look at Lu Cheng one by one.
Lu Cheng wished that they would attract other zombies here, so that he could let himself in and directly face the alienated zombie who was very likely to be a baron.
The atmosphere has been set up here, and it will be a bit fake if you continue to push it.
Lu Cheng also had a heavy face and nodded.
"Okay, that's it!"
