Bang Chang -

With a crisp sound, the rearview mirror on the right side of the vehicle became history. Hult cursed, but had no intention of stopping or turning around, meaning that the people in the car were not prepared to engage in a confrontation with the mob.

Zero looked backwards, and as the silver pupil in Gold's right eye changed, the visual distance was narrowed again.

In sight, the mob that shot was a man with a full beard. He was wearing a tattered vest with a line on the front that read "Come on the Giants". Naturally, such clothes cannot be used for the slightest protection, so the man's body is as black as charcoal because of long-term exposure to strong ultraviolet rays. In addition to his dark complexion, Zero also found a stratum corneum substance on his shoulders and forearms.

That should be some kind of mutation, Zero thought.

Above the wilderness, radiation is everywhere. If it weren't for the Anomalous, then walking in the wilderness would have to be dressed in a radiation-proof suit like none of them. After several generations of improvements, the latest type of radiation protection clothing is no different from ordinary clothing. Zero, they were obviously more bulky, closer to military uniforms, and the models were more backward. But compared to the mob outside, I don't know how much better.

The chariot went away, leaving the mob far behind, and Zero retracted his gaze.

"They want to grab cars. Zuoge smoked a cigarette and said leisurely.

Zero lowered his head and felt clear.

Uninhabitable surfaces, bases, companies, or rudimentary settlements are hidden beneath the ground. The distance between these locations is usually more than 1,000 kilometers, and today's shijie has become unusually vast. Without a means of transportation, it would be difficult for ordinary people to traverse the treacherous wilderness, which is the logical reaction of the mob when they see the chariot.

After walking for another half hour, the chariot stopped. In front of the vehicle was the entrance to the town, where a sign that read "Welcome to Silvertree City" was dropped on the ground with the words "Welcome to Silvertree City" placed on the road. And there was a human head stuck in the lonely iron rod, it was a man, and his expression was terrified. His head was stuck in an iron rod, which went through his neck, and the man's head was exposed to the sun, and it was emitting a foul stench.

The hot air produced by the sun makes the town look distorted from afar, like a demonic city. Silvertree City was quiet, and occasionally the sound of cans rolling on the ground could be heard when the wind blew.

"The vision of the living corpse has deteriorated, but the sense of hearing and smell is unusually developed. If we drove into town, we would undoubtedly tell the sleeping guys: Hey, the food is on the door. Zuoge shook his head and laughed to himself, not feeling the tension he should have at all.

Zero listened to his words, and the information revealed in Zuo's words was quickly memorized, classified, and summarized by him. As a result, information about living corpses is gradually taking shape in my mind. Zero was not idle, listening to Zuoge's meaning, and the next step would be to walk into the town, so routine checks were essential. He quickly checked his equipment, a miniature automatic machine gun, a dagger, some ammunition, and a jug of secondary drinking water.

Looking at Zero's methodical movements, Zuo Ge gave him an approving look. The others quickly completed the self-inspection, and the team leader's Zuo Ge opened the car door and jumped into the spicy sunlight first.

Zero also came out, leaving the space in the chariot that had been cooled by the refrigeration system, and for a while he came to the ground with a temperature comparable to that of the desert, and almost thought that everyone would burn with it. But after a brief period of discomfort, his body quickly adjusted. Even Zero himself didn't notice that even if he was baptized by the sunlight containing high-intensity ultraviolet rays, there was not a drop of sweat on his body.

As for the others, it was only a moment, but sweat stains were already visible.

Silvertree City is not large, and a zigzag urban street runs through the east and west of this small city. The 120-square-kilometer town is home to a variety of town facilities, including residential areas, schools, libraries, hospitals, and police stations. In old times, this quiet town had a permanent population of around 1,000 people and was famous for its abundance of ginkgo trees.

Now, there is no green vegetation in sight, and the city's buildings are in semi-dilapidated condition, with only the only school in the city still intact. However, it has also become a place for living corpses, so it is marked with the word "Dangerous" in large red on the map in the left square.

After trekking into the city, the team rested in the garage of a house. Zuo took out the map and drew up a simple jihua.

To the west of the city, next to the police station is Silvertree City's only hospital, Queen Mary Hospital. The hospital drew a red circle on the map, and the left grid pointed to it and said, "That's where we're aiming for, Queen Mary Hospital has five floors, and the medicines are in the underground storage room." It's unknown, there may be living corpses or other monsters, especially spaces like basements, which are the favorite playgrounds of these monsters, so we need to be extra careful. ”

Zuog removed the lighting from his helmet and machine gun, and said, "Everything that can produce a light source must be removed, and if a light source appears in the underground space, it will be equivalent to telling these monsters that we are coming." All switched to infrared scouts, and the muzzle of the gun had to be fitted with a muffler, and those guys had smart ears. ”

Zero was stunned, he didn't receive any infrared scouts and mufflers. Fortunately, Zuoge seemed to have expected this, and without saying a word, he took these two things out of his marching bag and handed them to Zero.

I took out another map, which was the floor plan of the basement of the hospital. Zuoge pointed to the location of the gate and said, "Hott, you stay here, first install enough explosives on the door." Once we have obtained the medicine and retreated, if there is a living corpse chasing us, it will be up to you. ”

Huo Ting nodded, patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, I'll keep and blow up those guys' eggs." ”

Zuog smiled and nodded to Carl, Tony, and Zero. He said, "The three of you will go in with me, and I will be responsible for the pathfinder, and Carl and Tony will be responsible for providing fire support if necessary." As for you Zero, I hope that when you retreat, you won't suddenly jump out of a living corpse to obstruct you. ”

Zero didn't speak, but didn't object, indicating that he took the job.

Zuihou, Zuo Ge said to Allen, "You find me a suitable blocking point to ensure that when we withdraw from the hospital building, we will not be chased by living corpses and bitten on the ass." In the meantime you have to arrange a retreat route for yourself, and we will meet outside the city. Well, well, gentlemen, if you are ready to haode, I think it's time to act. ”

"Now, proofreading time! We're four hours before sunset, move fast!" Zuo Ge concludes with this, representing the beginning of the action.

After leaving the garage, Alan temporarily broke away from the group. Five people, including Zero, quickly advanced towards the hospital, and a moment later, they were standing outside the building of Queen Mary Hospital.

The fifth floor of the hospital building has collapsed, but fortunately the building below is well preserved. The door of the building was open, revealing the dark space inside, and standing outside the door, a cold wind blew, as if the building was an abyss hell.

But now, Zuoge and the others are going to jump into hell by themselves. After the captain gave a brief action signal, he himself took the lead in getting in, followed by Hort and a few people, but it was zero who walked in Zuihou.

Zero's goggles had long since been removed, and the infrared recon was wearing on the right side of his face, just enough to cover his golden right eye. Turning on the safety bolt of the machine gun, he hunched over and landed silently, like a cat elegantly burrowing into the darkness of the hospital building.

Under the influence of infrared instruments, the corridor in the dark is visible in the zero eye.

The windows of the hospital were closed and covered with some kind of paint, blocking out sunlight and making them appear dark. Directly opposite the door was the outpatient hall, and Zero saw newspaper racks, water dispensers, and chairs falling to the ground, which was very messy. And there are still several corpses on the ground, the corpses have been skeletonized, and I don't know how long they have been dead. They were still wearing the Doctor's lab coats, and the skeleton of the corpses was incomplete, judging by the jagged fractured surfaces, it should have been torn by something.

Zero felt a faint pinprick sensation on the skin wrapped in his suit, and his intuition told him that it was dangerous in the hospital. Absolutely, not as calm as it seems.

In the line of sight, the left grid made a gesture to indicate that everything was normal in front of him. Zero followed, and the team walked out of the fire escape on the left side of the outpatient hall, and then down the stairs outside the passage to the door to the basement storage room.

The gate was unlocked, half-open and half-closed. A corpse sat down by the door, looking at what was supposed to be a hospital security guard. The corpse's left forearm was missing, and even the head was gnawed on half of something, and everyone frowned.

Zog gestured to Hort to stay, and the black man patted his chest, made another "ok" gesture, and began to prepare for the placement of the explosives.

The team moved on.

After passing through the gate, there is a passage that stretches left and right. Zuo Ge came to the wall, looked at the plan of the medicine storage room hanging on the wall, and immediately locked a position. It was a storage room for antibiotics, located on the east side of the basement, which was a relatively deep location.

Once the goal was determined, Zuo Ge walked at the front of the group, slowly but carefully leading the team forward. Zero was still walking in Zuihou, and everything was normal in his sight, except for the occasional corpse lying on the ground. But the calmer it became, for some reason, the pinprick sensation of zero skin became heavier and heavier. It was as if there was a great danger waiting for them in front of them.

Zero finally couldn't help it, and under the strange gaze of Karl and the two, he stepped forward and grabbed Zuoge. Writing the word "danger" with his finger in Zuoge's palm, Zero pointed to the dark area in front of him, then shook his head, and made a retreat gesture, which made Zuoge frown.

Zog naturally knew what Zero was trying to say, but in his opinion, Zero was too nervous.

According to the information obtained by the base, most of the living corpses in Silvertree City are concentrated in the schools in the city. Half a year ago, the base sent a team of 10 people to carry out the same mission, and everything went well, but when the team passed near the school during the retreat, it was attacked by a large number of living corpses, so that only one person escaped.

As for Queen Mary Hospital, there will be no more than ten living corpses hiding here. This amount has not been taken to Zuo Ge's heart.

Left Grid patted Zero on the shoulder, then on his chest, and then raised his thumb to himself to show that everything was under his control. Then, with a wave of his hand, the left grid allows the team to move forward. As Carl and Tony pass by Zero, Zero sees their contemptuous gaze.

Zero knew that they were laughing at themselves for being cowardly.

He wasn't prepared to argue, since Zuog insisted on acting, then Zero only had to do his job well.

Zero fell to the back of the group, Golden's right eye adjusting his gaze distance under the control of his mind to help him see anything suspicious. As he passed through the apothecary, a soft sound reached Zero's ears.

Zero, who caught the slightest strange noise, quickly looked towards the apothecary. The door to the apothecary room was ajar, and in Zero's line of sight, something flashed past the door.

Zero's right eye saw quite clearly, it was a heel.

Naturally, the heel cannot move on its own, in other words, something is moving inside.

Zero stuck to it and gently stabbed the door open with the barrel of his gun. He crouched down, and if something suddenly pounced out of the door, it wouldn't be able to hit him in the first place. Maintaining a half-crouching posture, the moment the door opened, the muzzle of the miniature machine gun was pointed directly into the door.

But there was nothing inside the door, except for a potion cabinet that had fallen to the ground, and a male corpse.

The male corpse is only a skeleton, but he is wearing a police uniform, and there is a six-pointed star on his chest, and he looks like a sheriff. It's just that the sheriff has passed away, but the corpse still has two revolvers in his hands.

These two revolches are the same horizontally and seem to be in pairs.

Zero visual inspection of the length of these two guns is close to 50cm, and the height is about 17cm. This was too large for a revolver, and the bullet casings scattered all over the ground under the corpse frowned. He picked up one and looked at it a little, and knew that the revolver was firing a .50 bullet.

Picking up one of the pistols, the drum on the barrel of the gun immediately slipped away with a single shock. Unlike the regular revolver, which loads six rounds, this pistol's drum can only hold five rounds.

"M500 revolver?" Zero was a bit surprised, in the old days, only the M500 was a revolver that fired five rounds. That's because it's capable of firing a .50 high-powered warhead that can kill an African elephant.

Zero looked thoughtfully at the corpse's wrist bones, and as he expected, both wrist bones of the dead sheriff had been broken. It was violently broken by the huge recoil of the M500, but I didn't know what this sheriff would hunt with such a powerful pistol?

Removing the two pistols from the corpse's hands, Zero found a line of small letters engraved on the butt of the polymer material.

"To Dearest Smith Mary"

It appears that the pistol was given to the sheriff by a woman named Mary, but now that the sheriff is dead, Zero decides to put it away for him. They fall into Zero's hands and will play a greater role.

Zero saw that the sheriff still had a row of unused .50 bullets on him, but wanted to reach for it. As soon as the finger touched the bullet, the pinprick sensation in the skin suddenly intensified. The feeling of danger surged over Zero's heart like a tsunami.

At this moment, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind me!
