Naturally, Egger would not be so stubborn that he would lead his men and head towards Putuo City. That would not be called investigation, but would be called death.
The joint field team is first preparing to go to Todo Town.
Todo Town is a bridgehead with both offensive and defensive capabilities. This is the best entry point into Putuo City.
The gas station in Todo Town is a good place. It is the best defense point in Todo Town. Iger once blocked the enemy there, which was very cool.
At that time, the main reason was that the gun was not powerful. The barrel of the M16 was so hot after continuous shooting that it was so severe that it was impossible to hold it.
It was only after that time that Egger understood why modern armies still need squad machine guns when automatic rifles have become so common that every man has one.
This time, Egger specially brought a spare barrel of the m249 machine gun and a box of 5.56 bullets, which were large enough.
Joanna was driving the car, and Iger was sitting in the co-pilot, talking and laughing with everyone while playing on his mobile phone. The other two new field team members also relaxed their nervousness while talking and laughing.
Nicholas's three new field team members were all recruited from the security team. Last time Nicholas led the team to the red zone for the first time, but something went wrong.
The recent stable life has made people less vigilant, and their keen intuition of danger has also been reduced.
Nicholas admitted that he was not as careful in his work as Iger. As a result, this small mistake caused the field team to lose one person.
Fortunately, the man just touched it, and he reported that he was infected by 9%. Apart from some fever, there seemed to be nothing serious.
This was the first time Egger heard this information.
I don’t know why, this world…
Egg shook his head. Now is not the time to think about these things. He should focus all his attention on the investigation.
Todo Town was ahead, and Joanna asked Iger: "What should we do next?"
"If you see a monster, stop the car. If you don't see a monster, keep walking." Iger put away his phone and said to Joanna.
The car drove forward for a while, and before entering Todo Town, everyone already saw infected people wandering on the streets of the town from a distance.
"When you came here last time, were there so many infected people?" Egg asked the three Nicholas, but the three people in the back row all shook their heads.
"Joanna, stop the car." After the car stopped, Egger said to the back seat, "I need a spotter and loader."
"I'll do it." Nicholas opened the left door and got out of the car with Egger.
After both of them rolled into the carriage, Iger shouted to Joanna: "Joanna, don't worry yet, I'll make a few waves first to see what's going on."
"Okay." Joanna had already rolled down the window. She took out an unopened envelope of chewing gum from her pocket, peeled off a strip and threw it into her mouth. Then she turned around and handed the chewing gum to the two field workers in the back row.
The team member said: "Come on, when the ping-pong-pong sounds are heard overhead, you will feel less irritable while chewing gum."
This time there were too many things in the pickup truck, and I could barely stand on it. There was no place to lie down. Iger took a folding mattress and put it on the roof of the pickup truck, and then he used the roof of the pickup truck to stand half up and half lying down.
Holding the m16 in the shooting position.
"beng!"
"beng,beng,beng,beng!"
After several bursts of shooting, the infected people on the street fell to the ground.
Subsequently, the sound of gunfire attracted a large group of infected people, and they rushed out from the streets of Todo Town. There seemed to be twenty or thirty of them.
When the two field team members in the back row saw this, one immediately picked up an MP5 from under the seat, and the other held the shotgun standing in the car in his hand, with their muzzles pointed out of the car window.
"Relax, I bet these infected people can't run 100 meters." Joanna said relaxedly.
Sure enough, before Egg finished firing a magazine, all the infected people in the large area fell dead.
Egger unloaded the magazine, handed it to Nicholas who was sitting in the carriage, and then picked up a full magazine and loaded it.
While filling, Nicholas craned his neck to take a look.
"Finished?" he asked.
"Probably not yet." Egger said.
"beng!"
Before he finished speaking, Egger hit the head of an infected person who had just appeared.
"There's another wave." Egg said to Nicholas while patiently waiting for the infected to come out of the street.
The infected moved too slowly. As soon as they ran out, Egg killed one of them. Now he felt like he was waiting for rice to be put into the pot.
After firing more than ten bullets, no infected person showed up.
Egg replaced the unsatisfied magazine. He handed the magazine to Nicholas, then picked up another full magazine and loaded it.
"You didn't hear the sound, did you?" Egger asked Nicholas confusedly.
"No." Nicholas replied cluelessly.
The two of them were talking about screams.
I have defeated two waves of monsters, and sure enough, there is no Screamer.
After losing the "command" of the Screamer, the infected moved faster than the old man walking. In Egg's eyes, this was no different from shooting a static target.
After three waves of guarding in this way, everyone waited calmly for more than ten minutes. No more infected people were found, and Todo Town should have been cleared.
Whether they are infected or screamers, sharp and loud sounds have an unparalleled attraction for them. If there are infected people in Todo Town, they will definitely be attracted after hearing the continuous gunshots.
"Joanna, let's go to the gas station." Iger shouted to Joanna, and then the pickup truck started slowly.
"There is a commanding height there, let's go there and squat for a while." Egg said to Nicholas: "I just want to see if these infected groups dispersed here randomly, or if they noticed you and came to hunt you, or patrolled
Team."
The three levels of relationships Iger talks about are each more difficult than the last.
The pickup truck slowly approached the town of Todo, and it could be seen in the distance that it had become more shabby after not visiting for a while.
When Egger was observing the situation on both sides of the road, he suddenly felt an unprecedented palpitation, as if something suddenly pulled his heart, and then his heart started beating crazily.
Egger could feel his temples beating suddenly as his heartbeat accelerated, and he couldn't breathe in an instant.
Egger turned to Nicholas and asked: "Did you hear..." Then, his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.
…
I don't know how long it took, but Iger woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the bed of the pickup truck.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Egger asked Nicholas, who looked extremely panicked.
Seeing Egger waking up, Nicholas shouted to the front: "Iger is awake." Then he said to Egger: "You just fell down, it was only more than ten seconds."
"Help me up." Iger stood up with the help of Nicholas. He found that the pickup truck was leaving Todo Town. It turned out that after Iger suddenly passed out, Nicholas exclaimed, and Joanna immediately turned around the car, but the pickup truck did not enter.
Todo Town.
Joanna's original plan was to find a safe place to check on Iger, but she didn't expect that he woke up just as she turned the car around.
"Stop." Iger shouted to the front. After Joanna heard Iger's shout, she slowed down the car and stopped.
As soon as the car stopped, Joanna quickly came to the car. She hugged Iger and pressed her face against Iger's forehead and face. The temperature was normal and there was no fever.
This is something Joanna learned when taking care of children. It is more sensitive to use her face to detect whether the other person has a fever than to test it with her hands.
"Ege, what happened just now? Was it low blood sugar or were you too tired?" Joanna asked Ige worriedly.
Egger shook his head slowly. After moving for a while, he found that his body had returned to normal, so he said to Joanna and Nicholas: "Wait for me here, I need to go and take a look."
After saying that, Iger jumped out of the pickup truck.
Egger stretched out his right hand and placed it against his heart, feeling the pulses in his chest.
"I am a living person, not a zombie." Egg said to himself.
Egg has always had a mystery about his body that he has not yet solved. The first item in his character tag is "already died once."
Egger remembers a law of time travel. Travelers cannot time travel alive. The bodies they take over after time travel are "dead bodies", that is, bodies that have just died.
This law also applies to yourself.
Oliver Evans was already dead, and only then did Egg Lee's consciousness take over his body.
Oliver died of the blood plague after struggling for three days.
Yes, I still remember the feeling when I first woke up.
His vision was filled with blood, his heart had an uncontrollable desire for blood, he couldn't feel the pain in his limbs, and his body movements were extremely uncoordinated.
"Although the blood plague has been cured, it has changed your body."
Egger didn't pay much attention to this sentence at first. He thought that this "change" was a visible attribute change. However, what just happened today made him connect all these details together, causing him to fall into a nightmare.
in the conjecture.
My body has actually become infected.
Oliver had just died. At this time, he traveled back in time and forced the infected body to start functioning again. Later, Father Locke cured himself with the serum.
That tube of serum can really reverse the transformation of an infected person!
However, that tube of serum that could have saved the world was used to save himself.
All along, Aige felt that there was a mysterious force controlling the fate of the entire world. It forced himself in when he didn't belong to this world. It must have some purpose.
Now he figured it out and everything became clear.
This is like a scientist doing a biological experiment, adding different substances to the petri dish bit by bit, and then observing the changes in the microbiome.
This world is a huge digital petri dish. After all the parameters are set, it starts running. As a disruptor, I am "dropped" in, just to observe how the results will change.
From the day after he woke up, Iger has been paralyzing himself, forcing himself to ignore many things that should not exist, and constantly brainwashing himself to rationalize them from his heart, such as saying that I am a time traveler, such as
This is my own system. For example, this world allows the use of plug-ins.
However, today, when Nicholas casually said that the infection rate was 9%, Iger finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Except for Iger, no one knows that the real world cannot be digitized. They are all virtual people living in the digital world.
Egg squatted on the ground, crying hard.
"Ege." Suddenly a gentle body came over gently from behind, and then hugged him tightly.
"Joanna." Iger cried and asked: "If this world is nothing at all, is it still worth living like this?"
Joanna held Egger tightly and said softly to him: "No matter whether this world is empty or not, you are real to me, a reality that transcends all."
