Chapter 464: City of Hope, Conspiracy Emerges
Bang!
However, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and just when all the crows are looking for their prey, a crisp sound suddenly comes from a large cart. The crisp sound of collision immediately attracted the attention of all the crows, and then countless crows rose into the air, shooting towards the cart like dark clouds, and the overwhelming scene was almost suffocating.
"Damn, how can this be? Quick, start the car, let's get out of here immediately!" Claire changed her face as she watched the flock of crows that covered the entire sky after flying, and then gave the order to the team while twisting the car button. In this case, it is undoubtedly self-defeating to resist a flock of crows with an unknown number of crows, and they must leave here immediately, otherwise the next moment they are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, and this result is unacceptable to her.
"Let's go!"
"Roger!"
Hearing Claire's words, everyone also started to drive the car, preparing to leave here. At the same time, everyone has opened the weapon safety and loaded the bullets in case of emergency, and survives in the last days, without a little defense, it will not live that long. At this critical moment, the ambulance driven by Betty and LJ suddenly went wrong somehow, and their wheels were wrapped in thick yellow sand, making it difficult to move for a while. However, the people who can survive from the end of the world to the present are decisive people, so after finding that the car could not be started, LJ and Betty glanced at each other, and a firm god flashed in their eyes, and without saying a word, they immediately left the car, and while shooting the crows in the sky, they rushed towards the big school bus driven by Snett not far away at a very fast speed, which was their hope, the hope of survival!
Driving an off-road vehicle, Mengjiao, who had just started. His eyes swept over the figures outside, and he suddenly found that whether it was LJ or Betty, their speed was actually above that of ordinary people. The speed of almost turning into a shadow was comparable to that of an ordinary Innate True Qi Stage martial artist, and when he thought of this, his heart also moved slightly. Could it be that these plot characters have also been strengthened by the main god system? If this is the case, then it makes sense why these humans are under the attack of powerful zombies. The reason why they can still support it for so long is because they themselves have evolved, and their strength is comparable to that of zombies, or even higher than zombies, otherwise they would not have survived to this day.
Thinking about things in his heart, before Meng Jiao came back to his senses, things had a new change. Because a large number of crows completely obscured Snet's vision, the big school bus also accidentally slammed into a telephone pole. Accompanied by a violent roar. The entire front part of the school bus was smashed into a deep dent by this electric pole. At the same time, the crows seemed to know that there were the most people in the bus, so they quickly wrapped the school bus and pecked wildly. The hard iron sheet is like delicious chocolate to them, and with every peck, a finger-sized crack appears. If left unchecked, it won't be long before they open the gap. Rush in and have a hearty meal.
"Damn, everyone, stop! Claire, there's an accident on the school bus in the back!" Seeing that the school bus was completely wrapped in a flock of crows, a burst of screams came from the communicator. Mart, who had already driven the car onto the road, immediately cursed angrily, then corresponded with Claire, slammed the steering wheel, turned around and shot towards the school bus, in this dangerous place, in this dangerous time, they would do their best to save every companion if possible.
"Mick, Carlos, we need to go back and save the people in the car, we can't let them die!" Claire picked up the communicator and beckoned Mick and Carlos as she adjusted the car and rushed towards the school bus. Originally, he wanted to call Meng Jiao and his party, but considering that Meng Jiao and the others had just joined, they were desperately a little unreasonable, so he didn't call Meng Jiao for this risky action. However, Claire's lack of screaming does not mean that Mengjiao will not make a move, after hearing the sound from the communicator, he slammed on the accelerator and drove the off-road vehicle to the school bus after Carlos and others.
"Thank you very much, but please be safe!" Seeing Mengjiao Ken personally involved in danger, a trace of appreciation flashed in the eyes of Claire and the others. No matter what the result is, the other party's courage to dare to make a move is enough for them to admire.
Now that the crows had gone berserk, Mengjiao did not hesitate, they moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they drove the car to the back of the school bus and began to help the other survivors evacuate. At the same time, Snett and Betty also blocked the windshield in front of the school bus to prevent the crows from breaking through the window. But judging by the speed at which the windshield shattered, it seemed that they would not be able to hold on for long.
Ordered to get out of his place and let the man in police uniform drive the off-road vehicle, Mengjiao appeared directly behind the school bus, he waited for those crows to charge the prey before attacking, so as to save the survivors from the crows' claws, since he had already shot, he had to make a gain, otherwise wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
"Ahh At the same time, a large number of crows swooped down on the girl like fighter jets. Looking at the flock of crows that were getting closer and closer to her, the girl suddenly let out a frightened scream, and at the same time closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.
But just as the crow swooped down on the girl, a dense burst of gunfire rang out. Countless bullets then erupted from the muzzle of Mart's gun, and bombarded the crows with near-miraculous accuracy. Suddenly, with a dull tearing sound, these crows, whose defenses were not even as good as ordinary zombies, were suddenly torn to pieces by the rain of bullets and fell to the ground one after another.
"Carlos, save people!" Claire also rushed over at this time, and when she saw Mart wielding power, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and she shouted loudly. At the same time, Carlos also rushed to the girl's side at great speed, grabbed the girl with one hand and rushed to the school bus.
However, at this time, Betty and Nestor are also in danger. At this moment, the windshield of the school bus is almost completely shattered, and those crazy crows are still pounding, if it is a little later, I am afraid that Nestor and Betty will be done playing. Looking at Betty and the others, who were barely supporting the glass of the school bus, Mengjiao, who had easily waved his arms and shot the crows away, suddenly frowned, and rushed towards the truck with a flamethrower at a very fast speed.
Mengjiao's speed is extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye. He had already rushed from the side of the school bus to the truck with the flamethrower, but at the same time a large number of crows had completely wrapped the truck and pounced on him. Looking at the group of zombie crows that were like a black SE curtain, swooping towards him, Mengjiao was not shocked or angry, and held the switch of the flamethrower with his left hand, and slammed it down
Call!
With a strange wind whistle, a huge wave of fire immediately rushed out of the muzzle of the flamethrower and covered the bodies of those zombie crows. These crows have a strong attack and speed. But the defense was extremely average, and the feathers on the crows were instantly ignited by the flames under the burning of the high temperature, and then turned into fireballs and fell to the ground.
It seemed to sense that the Dream Jiao was very difficult to mess with, except for some of the crows, which were still hovering high in the air, and the rest of the crows screamed and pounced on the other survivors while avoiding the attack of the fire wave. Soon three survivors were pounced on by the crows, and then devoured by countless crows in a series of terrible screams, turning them into white bones with barely visible flesh. Seeing the tragic death of her companion, Claire was stimulated by her blood, and instead of thinking about escaping, she screamed in grief. Rush straight into the crows.
"Isn't it?" Seeing that these people could have escaped, but they were killing themselves, this made Mengjiao speechless for a while, but he couldn't sit back and watch these people die. After sighing, he was already in the crowd in an instant. Then, with a strong wave of energy, an invisible energy shield also instantly blocked a large number of crows from the crowd.
"Wind! Fire!" Meng Jiao grabbed forward with both hands. The dragon power in the body was violently forced, and under the manipulation of spiritual power, it acted on the outside world, and the flames that erupted from the flamethrower were prompted by the wind dragon power and the fire dragon power, and the power exploded instantly, like a fire dragon, it directly rushed into the crow flock, and spread in all directions at a very fast speed.
Under the manipulation of the high-end power of dragon power, these ordinary flames have a high temperature that ordinary people can't imagine, and there is also a powerful power attached to them, and soon the entire sky is wrapped in this scorching wave of fire, and the crows in that wave of fire are also quickly burned like confetti thrown into the flames, and then turned into countless flying ashes, which fell all over the ground like rain.
Hiss~ Seeing the power of Mengjiao's move, everyone gasped, the number of those crows, to say the least, there were tens of thousands, but they were all wiped out in a light way, what kind of means is this? Even if it is a reinforcement company, all of them are replaced with heavy firepower, I am afraid that the result will not be as good as this trick! Claire and his party looked at Mengjiao's eyes, slowly became awe-inspired, and after glancing at each other, they didn't mention these things, and directly collected the bones of the deceased, helped them dig a pit simply, and buried it in it, so as not to be dug out by zombies, and then the convoy drove slowly in this silent and depressing environment, and no one asked where to go, because they understood that after losing so many team members one after another, it was undoubtedly a stupid thing to continue to stay outside, and it had become inevitable to return to the City of Hope.
The desert was soon left behind, perhaps because of the flock of crows predating everywhere, and the convoy had nothing to do with it, and after a full five hours of driving, they came to a mountainous area, which was not very good, but it was safe, and everyone had even seen that there were constantly signs left by humans at the intersection, indicating the direction of the City of Hope base.
Judging from the road signs, the base is not built in the urban area, the convoy went straight to the front according to the instructions, when the convoy reached a long and steep slope, only to see that there were dead zombies everywhere, and there were even traces of burning corpses in the ditch on the side of the road, and there were even black smoke in a few places.
"Where are you from?" "The road has been blocked at the top of the slope by a barbed wire fence, behind which is some kind of building, on which is a group of soldiers, armed with guns, who shoot at the sight of a human approaching the junction.
Claire got out of the car and shouted: "We are the members of the search and rescue team, I am Captain Claire, we encountered a lot of dangers this time, but fortunately, we also managed to rescue five people, please let us in." ”
"Captain Claire?" The soldier who led the team picked up the binoculars, and when he saw Claire's face, he immediately relaxed, but still did not move, "You guys come up first, remember to check if there are zombies in your convoy." If there is a person who has been injured by a zombie, please leave him outside, this is for everyone's good, I hope you will consciously carry it out. ”
"Of course, we know the rules very well. Claire didn't have any objection to the warrior's words, it was precisely because of this caution that the City of Hope would grow stronger and stronger, otherwise anyone would be able to blend in, so what if there was danger?
There was a cheer from the convoy. Under the command of the soldiers, the man in police uniform drove the car to the top of the slope, only to realize that it was not as simple as seeing only a barbed wire fence at the bottom of the slope.
Obviously, the barbed wire is electrified, which can prevent zombies to the greatest extent, after all, those things are also driven by flesh and blood, and once they are adsorbed by high-voltage electricity, they will only be burned. Behind the barbed wire fence is a reinforced concrete wall and a large iron gate, which is more than four meters high and two meters wide. And the iron gate is estimated to be very thick, no less than the Great Wall of China. The walls connected the buildings on both sides of the road, and the doors and windows of those buildings were filled with concrete, and the roofs were lined with gunmen. Even at night, there were searchlights blazing, and the structure continued to form a huge semicircle to the left and right, ending at two rivers at each end.
Standing on the top of the slope, you can already see the entire city of hope, which is a triangular shape at the junction of two rivers. Covering an area of three square kilometers, the site uses the river to form two natural barriers, and the bottom of the triangle is the concrete wall. There are soldiers patrolling every connected building, and they will shoot zombies when they see them approaching the wall, and even if they occasionally slip through the net, they will be electrocuted by the barbed wire fence under the wall, and it is not easy to climb the four-meter-high city wall even if they don't die. In the sharp corners of this triangular base, there is an imposing edifice standing upright, and there are several large gilded letters on the building, City of Hope Building! There is also a concrete fence within two hundred meters of the building, and on the wall are also rows of patrolling soldiers, from this alone it can be known that it must be the core of the whole city.
With the building as the center to continue to radiate outward, on one side is two luxury residential areas, there is a large area of garden green belt, and on the other side is a large area of factory industrial park, the two luxury residential communities are separated by a wall, and there are soldiers standing guard at the door, Meng Jiao guessed that there should be survivors with status, and the industrial park is little changed, it seems that there are ordinary people living there. There is also a fence on the periphery of the residential and industrial parks, and just outside this wall is an unused wasteland, but now there are tents set up on it, which is probably a refugee camp, worse than the people living in the factories.
After Meng Jiao and the others came in through the heavy iron gate, they were actually trapped in a large courtyard, the courtyard was built on a half-slope, one side was high and the other was low, so they could avoid the tall courtyard wall and see the situation in the base, there were at least fifty soldiers with guns on the courtyard wall to patrol constantly, and they divided a team of people to gather Chu Xiang and the others together. A blonde-haired soldier said: "First of all, you are welcome to escape the catastrophe and arrive at the City of Hope, this safe human base, where you will receive our greatest help, you will stay here safely until the virus is killed, but there are relevant regulations in the base that you must follow, otherwise we have a reason to kick you out!"
There are not many regulations in the base of the City of Hope, the first is isolation, all people who enter the base must stay in this courtyard for six hours, and only after the six-hour observation period can they enter the base living area with confidence, the onset period of the T virus is very short, and it is rare to have more than three hours after infection, if the virus attacks, the soldiers patrolling above, will transfer people out in the shortest possible time, in this last days, either survive the outbreak of the virus and let yourself evolve, or directly become zombies and be shot, there is no second way, as for the six-hour observation period, it is necessary, for the virus that is not very strong, it is enough。
The second is to hand over all weapons, not only guns and sabers are not allowed to be brought into the base, let alone drive a car inside, this is based on internal security and stability considerations, the end of the world is coming, many people will use this as an excuse to indulge themselves, if everyone carries a gun, you can imagine that the base must be chaotic.
Article 3 There is a curfew in the base, and it is strictly forbidden for civilians to go out from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the morning every night, and the military police and militia will patrol the streets, because it is a special period that they can execute civilians who violate the curfew and do not obey the management at any time.
Article 4 The base is provided with a free ration of food with a card, and weapons and vehicles are confiscated when entering the base, but the food is released, but it is strictly forbidden to trade grain in the base, and violators must be severely punished, because of the strict depreciation of paper money, the value of a qiē in the base is measured in gold, and the unit is grams, of course, if you have no money, you can also work, or directly sell your life to the army, and the food there is still very good.
In addition to these articles, there are also a number of public security management regulations and virus emergency plans, which fortunately do not need to be memorized and written silently, so just listen to them. Mengjiao was just standing there casually, but after standing for a while, he found that Claire and the others did not come in with them, which made his plan to use the other party's strength to see Alice's plan to fall through.
"Excuse me, can I meet Alice?" Mengjiao said directly, he had already arrived at the place, he didn't plan to continue to wait, he had a lot of things, even if he stayed here for a long time, it was only equal to reality for a second, but after all, there was no heaven and earth vitality here, and he had touched the edge of the potential, and he couldn't wait to retreat once to fully comprehend the use of potential.
The blonde soldier glanced at Mengjiao, and said with displeasure: "I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your request, only after the observation period has passed, someone will come to handle the formalities for you, and then you have any requirements to mention to them, but I can tell you, Lord Alice is the goddess of light here, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day, with your identity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her." ”
Mengjiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by the soldier waving his hand, and the others also asked questions, so the soldier didn't hear it, and commanded the soldier to send people into a closed building in the courtyard for isolation and observation. Mengjiao their team, there are adults and children, adults are the main force to deal with zombies, it will not be very safe, children are more likely to be invaded, this soldier's cautious attitude should also be, in case any of these people are infected with the T virus, when the time comes, because of his carelessness, the entire base will be ruined, after all, it is a city created by his own disciples, and Mengjiao is not easy to make a big fuss, so he ran the dragon power a few times to calm his mind, in the final analysis, his meticulous kung fu is still okay.
During the six-hour isolation, no one came to disturb Mengjiao and the others, and no other survivors came, dinner was sent by two soldiers carrying a bucket of porridge, steamed buns and vegetables were not available, it seems that the life in the base is not high, at least the living standard of ordinary people is not high, like this kind of gruel, there is no energy, even if it is the same as high-calorie foods such as chocolate, it is the law of illusion, but those are fine, these are garbage, he has no appetite at all, and directly gave it to the two children, as for the big belly, no one else asked, he has already hugged two big bowls, one bite left and one mouthful, and the drink is extremely sweet。
As soon as Claire and the others returned to the city, the door of a room in the City of Hope Building was knocked gently, and a middle-aged man with combed hair was standing outside the door cautiously, hearing the voice coming from the room, and immediately whispered, "My lord, Claire and they are back, it is said that they also brought back five survivors." ”
"Oh, didn't they die?damn Philip, I suspected that the zombie attractor he gave me didn't work, it seems that that guy's research really didn't come in handy!" A grim voice came from the room, "Alice's connections in this city are already very high, you can't let her continue to be normal, you can send someone to deal with Claire and them." ”
"But my lord, kill people in the City of Hope......"
"I'll take care of what happened!"
"Yes, my lord, how many survivors, look?"
"Kill them all!" (To be continued......)
