Chapter 40: Recruitment of Base Personnel
Hal felt some kind of invisible gaze behind him.
He subconsciously looked in that direction and spotted Reilly cowering in the corner.
He seemed to be wounded, and a look of pain flashed between his brows, but when he saw Hal looking, Reilly quickly lowered his trouser leg, looked at him fiercely, and gave him a middle finger.
He cursed silently: "Bastard! ”
Hal turned his head expressionlessly.
In this case, he didn't want to deal with such a person who had brute force but no brains.
The helicopter rested on the rooftop, lowered the safety rope, and let them climb up one by one.
"Professor Li Sen, you go first."
Leeson was the main target of their mission, and Edmund intended to give him the first opportunity.
The man nodded at him and climbed the rope ladder.
Immediately afterwards, the woman who was showing off her might just now squeezed in, "I want to be the second one." ”
The other experimenters dared to be angry and could only let this woman go.
The woman is even more arrogant.
Seeing "Li Sen" enter the helicopter, she immediately followed.
However, this woman had little strength, and it took a long time to climb into the cabin.
The rest of the personnel on the rooftop were evacuated one after another.
It's just that at this moment, the baseball stick inserted in the iron door was also knocked open by the zombie group.
The squad members can only shoot and retreat.
But there were so many zombies rushing up to the roof that they were so fast that they soon flooded the rooftop.
The captain and Hal were left behind.
"Hal, take my hand."
At the critical moment, Edmund climbed the rope ladder and was accompanied by a rickety helicopter to firmly grasp Hal in time.
"Okay."
Hal kicked away the zombie holding his boots and grabbed the bottom of the rope ladder with a leap.
The helicopter flew off the rooftop with the two people on the rope ladder, and a large number of zombies rushed up like death because of inertia, and fell from the sky one by one.
The captain and Hal climbed into the helicopter in exhaustion before collapsing to the ground.
"It's really slow, delaying the helicopter flight, can't you speed up a little?"
The woman just now began to complain again.
Accompanied by the sound of humming helicopters, everyone in the cabin was extremely disgusted with this woman, but because of her identity, they couldn't say much.
At this moment, the members of the team noticed that something seemed wrong with their teammates: "Reilly, Reilly, what's wrong with you?" ”
Reilly tilted his head and began to tremble and twitch, his skin covered with blue-black markings.
"He's infected, get him out."
The woman started screaming again.
Edmund frowned, "Hold him down and tie him up." ”
Reilly was their teammate after all, and Edmund was reluctant to throw him out of the air.
He looked at "Li Sen", "Professor Li Sen, can you inject him with a serum?" ”
"Li Sen" turned his head and said expressionlessly: "Serum is the most precious, and it is impossible to use it on an irrelevant person. ”
"yes, yes. Serum has to be used for experiments, and there is not much experimental value without instrumental data. ”
The woman hurriedly followed.
At that moment, Reilly suddenly jumped up from his seat and lunged at the woman's position, biting her shoulder violently.
The woman let out a scream like killing a pig:
"Ahh
When Reilly pounced, the people around the woman quickly ducked away, for fear that they would be bitten.
There was no one to help her.
Edmund went over and tried to pull the two apart, but in the middle of the tug, the helicopter began to shake violently.
The people in the helicopter were in a mess.
When Reilly saw Hal, he wanted to pounce on him and take a bite, but the fuselage tilted and threw him and the woman out of the hatch.
The two fell 100 meters into the air, the helicopter returned to stability, and the chaos no longer existed.
The driver was sincerely afraid: "I encountered a turbulent current just now, nothing happened, right?" ”
No one spoke in the cabin.
Only "Li Sen" said indifferently: "It's okay, go directly." Let's hurry back to camp. ”
It looks like the loss of an assistant has had no effect on him at all.

Separated from the people of the army, without any restrictions, Su You rested for a while after eating, intending to continue to start the sweep.
Although there were zombies outside, she drove a locomotive, and with her handy spatial ability, she was almost not besieged by zombies.
When she reached a safe place, she put away the locomotive and continued her day-sweeping stockpile.
Supermarkets, fast food restaurants, fruit shops, dessert shops, hardware stores, gas stations, car 4S shops, etc., were almost all looted by her.
Some of the shops that looked relatively clean and unopened were directly cut and pasted into the base's trade area through her spatial ability.
As for those shops with a lot of zombies, Su You only looted the well-packed items and took them away, and the house was not wanted.
She still has a little cleanliness fetish.
In one night, she single-handedly swept all the unmanned shops near the bustling streets in the center of the city, filling a lot of base space, and the sense of material fullness was overwhelming.
Thanks to the body enhancer that had strengthened her body, otherwise she would not have been able to do so many things without sleep, and her mental and physical strength was still very abundant.
It can be said that all the materials in the base, she alone, will not be able to use up all in ten lifetimes.
As for the population that needs to be moved in at the base, she doesn't really mind it either.
After all, human beings are social animals, and if she is the only one left in the last days, there is food and drink, safe houses, and spiritual food such as comics, television, and music, and she will go crazy because of loneliness for a long time.
It's like in a classic zombie movie, where the protagonist lives alone and a dog for a long time in the last days, just to find an antidote and exist as a belief, but the mental state of the whole person has completely changed.
Therefore, she is prepared to accept humans into the base, but those who enter the base also need to be screened by her.
Su You stood on the windy streets, looking at this bleak and desolate city.
No matter how broken it is, it is a sign of human civilization, but tomorrow will be reduced to ashes in a huge nuclear explosion.
There will still be survivors in the city, who wait for the dawn in fear, unaware of the end of the day.
Suddenly, the tips of Su You's ears moved, and he heard a faint and intermittent piano sound in the night wind.
She looked in the direction the music was coming from, and her eyes landed on a building not far away.
Looking at the map, it was a bakery with dark windows and no survivors there.
She was ready to go over and take a look.
*
In the dimly lit basement, there were more than a dozen people hidden.
They were all customers who came to the bakery, and when the owner noticed that something was wrong outside, he quickly closed the door and let them hide in the basement.
Thankfully, none of them were infected, and they were able to survive the tragedy that happened outside.
Little Jenny was holding the music box, the merry-go-round inside had just stopped, and she looked at her father, who had just come in from outside.
"Dad, is the monster out there gone?"
Robert shook his head, picked up his little daughter, and said to his wife, "They are still wandering around and are not moving on." ”
His wife, Alyssa, sighed, "What then?" The helicopter that flew during the day announced that the city would be emptied after the third day, and the source of the monster infection would be completely eliminated. Get the surviving residents out of town. ”
"But now that it's zombies outside, how do we get out?"
