The northwest has cooled down a lot recently, with temperatures dropping to minus seven to eight degrees at night.
Blackhand and Zheng Shiwu have been stationed here for more than two months.
The original task given to them was to stay here for three months, but the time has not yet arrived.
During the day, the communication staff of the Oil City Communications Office kept calling them, but no one came through.
In order to save the power of the radio station, the two gangsters will only turn it on when they need to contact Oil City.
Normally, they would contact Oil City once every two days, and they would only contact Oil City in the evening after their investigation was completed.
in the cellar,
The creaking hand-pressed flashlight kept making a sound.
"Old Zheng, what happened at the northwest base during the day? Are you sure it was a wall-climbing zombie?" The black hand pressed the flashlight, and the light from the flashlight flickered on and off.
Zheng Shiwu opened the box, turned on the radio, put the headset on his head and said:
"I'm sure, although I don't know why the wall-climbing zombies came out during the day, but they are indeed wall-climbing zombies!"
"Stop talking, I have to contact Oil City quickly and report the situation."
"oh."
Blackhand looked at the cellar wall in a daze, remembering the scene in the northwest base he saw a few hours ago, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
He saw with his own eyes the two wall-climbing zombies that climbed onto the wall of the northwest base, bit everyone they saw, and mutated into zombies in a very short period of time.
If it hadn't been for the captain on duty who brought people to support in time, I'm afraid the northwest base wall would have been completely lost.
But in such a short period of time, they paid the price of dozens of deaths.
There are only two wall-climbing zombies. If more wall-climbing zombies come, the wall will probably fall immediately.
The reason why two wall-climbing zombies can cause such power is related to their belief that wall-climbing zombies will only appear at night. In addition, the gloomy weather is not very good, so the visibility is not very good.
So their guards didn't notice the situation under the wall and relaxed their vigilance.
Zombies climbing walls during the day come out, so if they continue to investigate...
The risk is too high.
And it is difficult to get water now, so they have to go out.
well.........
I don't know what to do now.
Just when he was worried about what to do next.
There was a sound of electricity coming from the side.
Sizzling——
"I am Zheng Shiwu from the investigation team, calling Oil City..."
After Zheng Shiwu called two or three times, he still didn't receive a reply, so he carried the box to the entrance of the cellar.
He climbed up the ladder towards the cellar, holding the ladder with one hand, and pushing open the upper cover with the other hand, opening a small gap.
Then climbed down.
call--
"Black Hand, come here, take the ultraviolet light and turn it on."
He was worried that if he opened the cellar cover, the smell of the two of them would drift out and attract zombies climbing the wall.
Turning on the ultraviolet light is for self-protection.
The black hand naturally understood his thoughts, stopped pressing the hand lamp, and walked over with the ultraviolet lamp.
Purple-blue lights lit up in this dark cellar.
Zheng Shiwu held the radio station and repeated the call just now.
A minute later, a reply came.
"This is Oil City, and I have finally contacted you."
Chen Siyu from the Oil City Communications Office said with some excitement:
"The latest notice is that wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day, and the reconnaissance mission is suspended. Please return to Oil City immediately."
Hearing the news from Oil City, Zheng Shiwu was stunned for a few seconds.
But he quickly realized that it seemed that the appearance of wall-climbing zombies in the northwest base during the day was not a special case.
This situation has been discovered in oil cities thousands of kilometers away.
After reacting, Zheng Shiwu quickly said:
"Received. In addition, when we were investigating the northwest base today, we found two wall-climbing zombies climbing up the wall of the northwest base and causing dozens of deaths."
He originally wanted to warn Oil City that wall-climbing zombies would appear during the day.
Unexpectedly, Oil City knew about this situation before they did.
Chen Siyu quickly said:
"Okay, in addition, it is too far for you to come back from the northwest, and there is also the danger of wall-climbing zombies. Taking these problems into consideration, in order to allow you to return to the trading market safely."
"Oil City has decided to send a helicopter to pick you up in West City. Please keep in touch during the journey and don't lose contact."
When Zheng Shiwu heard what Chen Siyu said, his face lit up. He was just worried about how to get back so far away.
Now we only need to go to West Market, which means the distance has been shortened by half.
"Received, we will set off back to the trading market tomorrow."
"What's your current material situation?"
"There is still enough food and plenty of fuel. The main problem is water shortage, but we can find ways to get water."
"Do you have any other information you need to share?"
"No, I mainly wanted to report about the appearance of wall-climbing zombies during the day, but you already know that."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety. We will wait for your return at the trading market."
"OK."
Zheng Shiwu took off the headset, with an excited expression on his face.
Since Zheng Shiwu was wearing a headset, Black Shou did not hear the voice from the Oil City. He could only get a rough idea of what Zheng Shiwu said and asked:
"What's wrong? Oil City wants us to go back?"
"right."
Zheng Shiwu nodded and said:
"Zombies climbing walls have been discovered in Oil City, so let's suspend the mission and go back directly."
"It's so far away, and there are wall-climbing zombies everywhere. It would be too dangerous to go back..." Black Hand was a little worried.
"How about waiting a little longer?"
"What are you waiting for! We can go back, why are we still here? It's so dangerous here, there's no need for us to stay here." Zheng Shiwu said with a frown.
"What are you thinking about? Why don't you want to go back?" Zheng Shiwu asked again.
Blackhand thought of the two wall-climbing zombies during the day, and said with a somewhat solemn expression:
"Go back two thousand kilometers, and wall-climbing zombies may appear at any time. It's too dangerous!"
"We still have more than two months of food here, so why not stay here and wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Zheng Shiwu then asked.
The black hand smashed his mouth and said:
"With such thick clouds, it could rain or snow at any time. What if it happens to rain or snow on our way back?"
"After this rain and snow is over and the sun comes out, we can go back. Anyway, we still have food for more than two months."
When Black Hand and Zheng Shiwu came out, due to the long journey, in order to avoid various accidents, the materials prepared for them were all prepared in a saturated manner.
For example, two people will perform a mission for three months, so the food prepared for them is five months.
These foods are individual combat rations, compressed biscuits and the like found at the Wu City military base. They are small in size and have a long storage time, making them easy to carry.
Blackhand didn't want to return to Oil City immediately because he had his concerns.
After all, it is getting darker and darker now, and there are also wall-climbing zombies. In the past, they only appeared at night, but now they come out during the day.
The way back is destined to be extremely dangerous.
Moreover, the clouds are so thick that it may rain or snow at any time. Once a natural disaster strikes on the road, then...
After Zheng Shiwu heard what he said, he took a deep breath and said seriously:
"We have to go back!"
"You were right about something just now. You don't know when the natural disaster will come, but do you know how long it will last? If it lasts for several months like a thunderstorm natural disaster, we won't be able to sustain it with so little food, and we will still be there in the end.
starve!"
"Besides, we are so close to the northwest base, so we are scared every day. If we are discovered by them one day, it will definitely be difficult for us to escape!"
"If you go back, you won't necessarily die. But if you stay, you will definitely die!"
Under the illumination of ultraviolet light, Zheng Shiwu's face appeared purple-blue, which was a bit strange.
Blackhand struggled for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, but we need a plan."
"We have to plan a return route. I don't want to be discovered by people from Wuyuan Mountain and chased away when we come here."
"Well, help me take the map out of the bag, and let's plan a return route." Seeing that Black Hand finally agreed, Zheng Shiwu pointed to the bag behind Black Hand and said.
Later, Zheng Shiwu put away the radio station, climbed up the ladder, and moved back the cover of the cellar.
In the cellar.
The two of them got together, studied the map, and planned a return route.
...
...
Wu City Military Base.
The transport team, which had been running around for a day, arrived here to rest and recuperate.
During the day, Li Qi received news about wall-climbing zombies in Oil City and immediately withdrew the patrols on the top of the mountain to the base.
and closed the gates of the military base.
It wasn't until the evening when Zuo Ruxue and others from the transportation brigade arrived that they opened the gate of the military base.
night.
Zuo Ruxue, Song Qi and others got together to chat.
They looked serious, and none of them were in a good mood.
"Sister Zuo, did you have a smooth trip here?" Li Qi asked, breaking the silence.
Zuo Ruxue smiled bitterly and said:
"What a blessing! We encountered three waves of wall-climbing zombies on the way. If there hadn't been drones patrolling the air and killing the zombie groups in advance, the convoy would have been in trouble."
"Ah? Isn't there an ultraviolet lamp?" Song Qi asked doubtfully.
Xiao Hu said with a gloomy face:
"Wall-climbing zombies do not appear alone. They often appear together with ordinary zombies. Ordinary zombies are not afraid of ultraviolet lights. If a group of ordinary zombies approaches a vehicle, they may destroy the ultraviolet light or block the ultraviolet light... In this way,
Give wall-climbing zombies a chance."
"Hey...it sounds so dangerous. Are you going to continue transporting it?" Li Qi asked.
"want."
Xiao Hu sighed: "The food between the headquarters base and the northern border has not been completely transported. It is estimated that there will be a round trip, otherwise the food in the Oil City will not be enough."
"Why is it still not enough? Haven't we already sent 10,000 tons?" Li Qi asked.
She hadn't been to Oil City for a long time and didn't know much about the situation there.
Zuo Ruxue explained:
"Now the population of the trading market has exceeded 170,000, and the buffer city wall is still being built. The food consumption is huge. I will explain to you in a while. In short... our transportation team must transport food to the oil
city, and then transport the oil from the Oil City to the northern border and the headquarters base."
Li Qi and Song Qi nodded.
They are very safe here at the military base.
The military base is extremely closed. As long as the door is not opened, they are not afraid of any zombies coming outside.
Moreover, there is a lot of food and oil stored here, and there are only a few dozen of them.
Even if we don't provide them with supplies, they can sustain themselves here for more than a few years.
There is no need to worry about water source issues.
Wu City has a relatively low altitude and is close to the Yangtze River.
There are deep wells in the military base and groundwater has been dug, so the water source problem can be completely guaranteed.
It's just that it's a bit boring to stay here.
Thinking about it, Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu survived the entire thunderstorm disaster here. It was really difficult to stay in a closed environment without seeing the light for several months.
Li Qi thought for a moment and said:
"Sister Zuo, Xiao Hu, if you are in danger, I can provide helicopter support."
Zuo Ruxue shook her head and said:
"Forget it. Don't open the door unless necessary. Now wall-climbing zombies can appear during the day, and these wall-climbing zombies are all elusive. Once the door is opened, what if there are wall-climbing zombies sneaking in?"
"We also have ultraviolet lights! We will definitely arrange the ultraviolet lights before opening the door and then turn them on," Li Qi said quickly.
"Let's talk about it later, or you can discuss it with the headquarters base." Zuo Ruxue replied.
"Yeah." After hearing what Zuo Ruxue said, Li Qi stopped persuading her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Staring at the map on the table, in a daze.
Zuo Ruxue also raised her head and stared blankly at the ceiling above her head.
I don’t know if it’s because the sky is getting darker, but more and more zombies appear during the day.
In the past, when they were transporting goods, they would encounter groups of hundreds of zombies at most.
During a trip, I only encounter them once on average.
Now on the road from Oil City to Wu City Military Base, we have encountered three waves of zombies with more than a thousand heads, and there are also wall-climbing zombies.
They conducted drone reconnaissance and saw a group of zombies on the road a few kilometers behind.
Therefore, the drone horn was used to attract the zombies away.
There are also those that are already very close, and can only be bombed with artillery and machine gun fire to clear them up.
Therefore, this trip was the day when their transportation brigade consumed the most ammunition.
Zhizhi——
Xiao Hu suddenly stood up, "I'm sleepy, go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked towards the accommodation area.
After Zuo Ruxue was stunned for a while, she also stood up, said hello and left.
Li Qi and Song Qi were left behind.
Li Qi looked at their leaving figures with worry in her eyes.
"The wall-climbing zombies are out, and their transport brigade is under a lot of pressure... Sigh..."
Song Qi nodded and said:
"When you say that, I feel a little guilty. Let's stay in such a safe place."
Li Qi said dumbfounded:
"How long do you want to stay? I don't see the sun every day, and I don't know what's going on outside. I think the headquarters base will send someone to take over at some point."
"You want to leave?" Song Qi asked in surprise.
"Do you still want to stay here?" Li Qi asked.
Song Qi did not answer directly:
"It's okay. Apart from being a bit bored staying here, everything else is okay."
"You really live in a home!" Li Qi gave him a thumbs up.
She really didn't expect that Song Qi, a young man in his twenties, would not feel bored staying in a dungeon-like military base every day.
