It didn't take long for the team members who were doing the last-ditch attack to gather back together. It looked like they were very skilled at what they did.
Egg's deliberate howling just now was not because he was out of his mind. First, he expected that there would not be too many infected people remaining on the lower three floors. Second, he also wanted to measure the density of infected people in this building.
If hundreds of infected people were pulled out from one throat, the next actions would definitely be different.
Nicholas walked over with a bloody steel spear in his hand. Although using a spear is the least technical, it requires the most courage, so it is usually used by the captain of the general team.
Now the question comes, eight at the top and two at the bottom, should we divide our troops?
Egger immediately rejected the idea of dividing his troops and decided to attack first.
Underground space, whether it is a supermarket or a parking lot, has a relatively wide view and the space is closed. Here, you can ignore the issue of sound insulation and use a gun throughout the process. In fact, it is more efficient.
Underground shopping mall.
The shelves in the underground shopping mall are intact, and most of the goods on the shelves are still on the shelves, but there is an extremely important problem here - there is no lighting.
Under the illumination of five or six flashlights, Iger just walked to the entrance of the mall and took a look before leading the team to retreat.
It's so dark that no one would run down here if they were crazy. In other words, if someone did run down, it would be difficult to escape the tracking of the infected in this dark environment, and they would probably be dead.
You are dead and there is no need to save you. Take your leave.
After three consecutive clicks, Iger decided not to check the lower two floors.
However, after just a quick glance, Iger discovered that the mall had not been damaged. To be precise, it was not damaged by survivors.
It seems that no living person has been here since the outbreak of the blood plague.
A very large shopping mall, and a firearms store that I heard was very large. If Iger guessed correctly, no one should have touched the warehouse.
This is a huge gold mine that is richer than the Morgan Building. As long as it is owned, the gospel team can be rich enough to squander it at will.
Egg immediately came up with the idea of emptying this place.
No, there are too many supplies here. It is better to occupy them than to empty them.
We don't want that shabby place in Ross Town and just designate it as our new headquarters.
This thought flashed through my mind, and then Iger rejected it.
Before Puduo City is completely cleaned up, this place cannot become a real stronghold. In the past half month, the joint field team has been hacking and killing, working hard for more than 12 hours a day, and they have probably only killed a few thousand infected people.
Many people feel that this record seems too small. Calculated, the joint field team killed hundreds of infected people per capita.
Killing monsters is an extremely difficult job that requires long-term persistence, and requires slow quantitative changes to lead to final qualitative changes.
The infected people in Puduo City are in a stage of strategic confusion, but this window period is not permanent. Once the Screamers evolve again, there will inevitably be an expanding wave of infected people.
However, this I-shaped building complex is very suitable for establishing an outpost, and you can consider establishing it as a tidal-type permanent outpost.
At this point, Iger had to admit that taking this place was a far-sighted decision. The reason why he messed up could really only be described as bad luck.
Egger thought this way because he was not there at the time.
Generally speaking, the strategic direction of this operation was sound, and the pre-war layout was quite satisfactory, but the bad thing was the on-the-spot response. To be precise, this time it was a waste of time.
After being attacked by the screamers, the screams also attracted infected people scattered around, only seven or eight.
As soon as these infected people appeared, they were instantly overthrown by the field team members whose marksmanship level had been raised to a very high level.
Later, Erica proposed that everyone retreat, but Bill thought that Erica was making a fuss. If it didn't work, everyone could move some things before leaving. It would be a big loss to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed.
As a result of this delay, by the time everyone saw the influx of infected people, it was already too late.
Bill was wrong about most of this, and Erica was also wrong about some.
Bill is too young, he is only 18 years old this year. He is quite impulsive at this age, and he also lacks the most important experience and training. Simply put, he does not have enough experience for growth in life.
Erica is 10 years older than Bill, and she has sharper insights. But on key issues, Erica, who has always been tough, did not stick to her own opinions. She had already sensed the danger, but she believed blindly.
Bill's judgment.
Bill is Iger's older brother. Iger has matured so precociously that everyone thinks Bill should be mature enough. In fact, Bill only looks like an uncle on the outside, but he is still a cucumber at the core.
Egg led the team to retreat to the first floor, and now they need to quickly search for survivors on floors 1-3.
After a brief discussion, Egger and Donna guarded the stairs leading to the fourth floor. Four teams abcd and abcd were divided into groups to search floors 1-3. Finally, everyone concentrated on killing each other upstairs.
There are many stairwells in shopping malls, but most of them are interconnected below the third floor. Apart from several elevators, there is only one fire staircase available above the third floor.
This fire stairway connects floors 3 and above. Due to structural reasons, it is necessary to switch to other stairs from the 3rd floor to the 1st and 2nd floors.
Egg and Donna squatted at the only exit of the fire stairway from a distance. They squatted patiently holding their guns. Egg even took the time to go to the vending machine in the corridor next to it. He used a fire extinguisher to smash the vending machine open.
, took out two bottles of drinks from inside.
Egg handed a bottle of drink to Donna. He casually looked at the production date on the bottle, and then joked to Donna: "You think it's funny or not, the shelf life of this bottle of drink may be longer than everyone's life."
It’s still long. Haha.”
Donna didn't answer Iger's words, and the awkward chat ended.
Egg didn't think waiting like this was too boring or a waste of time, so he took Donna to the stairs to explore the way.
You can imagine with your heels that if the people from the joint field team fled all the way up, then the upper floor of the store must be filled with infected people.
If they can be killed easily, the trapped field team members can be easily killed by themselves, so there is no need for rescue.
After getting used to seeing strong winds and waves, Iger's character became more and more stubborn. In his previous life, he had seen too many "building tall buildings to entertain guests", and in the end the building collapsed with a loud bang.
Success ten or twenty times doesn't mean anything.
But if you fail once, it may mean that you have to perform a trapeze on the rooftop.
So, Egg is now sitting on a stool with his gun in his arms, drinking a drink while waiting for the other four teams to finish.
It sounds like Egg is being lazy, but if a large number of infected people suddenly emerge at the safety staircase, only he can handle the situation.
Egg is equivalent to the safety valve and ballast stone of the entire team. It usually has no effect, but having it and not having it are two completely different situations.
"Well, what the hell is this?" Iger took a sip of the sparkling water in his hand. He found that the taste was a little strange, much like the traditional Chinese medicine that his mother often pinched and poured by his nose when he was a child.
He picked up the can of sparkling water and took a closer look, only to find two cherries painted on the can.
"Cherry flavor", what the hell is this.
Besides, is this cherry flavor? Is this what your cherries taste like?
Iger frowned and took another taste. He really didn't like it.
I can't love this smell.
Taking into account the current environment, drinks are considered light luxury goods. One can is less than the other. Egg frowned and swallowed the can of drink.
After waiting for about half an hour, ABCD's four teams finally checked the lower three floors and found that they were all empty. The result was expected. Anyway, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fire safety stairwell.
It was pitch dark in the corridor, and it was completely impossible to see.
Fire stairs are different from other stairs. Each floor has a heavy fire door. Although this door is not locked, it is usually closed. This leaves no light source in the fire corridor. In this environment,
Very susceptible to bites from top to bottom.
The BCD team was fully armed, and they were all equipped with motorcycle helmets. Nicholas Nicholas put a headlamp made of a flashlight on the helmet, and then he took the lead, and several other fully armed field team members walked in front consciously.
Although there were several flashlights lighting the way in front, it was still very dark in the fire corridor, and what was scary was that the walls in the corridor were covered with blood, and there was thick blood on the upper steps.
Drop it down little by little.
The stairwell is the best defensive position. It is inevitable that there will be fierce battles here. I don't know about the blood...
Nicholas turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, please be careful not to get any blood."
The blood of ordinary infected people is not contagious, and those infected with blood plague also have a special mutation.
In fact, the number of people infected with the blood plague is very small, only one or two out of a hundred infected people. However, you still have to be cautious where you should be careful. There is no need to suffer from ignorance and negligence.
Clicking on the slippery steps, Nicholas reached the fourth floor. He used the spear in his hand to push open the heavy fire door, and a ray of light came in from the outside.
The fourth floor is a furniture store, as well as many kitchen and bathroom and home appliance stores. As expected, we found many infected people on standby on this floor.
There is no time for everyone to kill slowly. It is one thing to be cautious, but it is another thing to be inefficient and waste time.
Egg directly took the MP5 with the silencer barrel and fired.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
As his mastery of firearms increases, Egger's burst speed becomes faster and faster.
Soon, the infected people on the fourth floor were cleared. Everyone split up and knocked on the furniture while shouting softly. Because the layout here was a bit complicated, everyone was very much looking forward to finding the surviving team members trapped here.
After searching around, this floor is still empty.
Everyone retreated to the fire stairs in an orderly manner and continued upward.
The way up is getting harder and harder. The corridors are filled with corpses of infected people. Most of the time, everyone has to step on the corpses of infected people and crawl through low gaps.
The fifth and sixth floors were also empty. At this time, everyone was gradually getting excited.
The current situation shows that the trapped people have been acting collectively, so the result is obvious. Either everyone survives, or the entire army is annihilated. There is a high probability that there is no intermediate state.
When everyone stepped on piles of corpses and climbed in the corridor, they finally reached the door of the seventh floor.
The moment Nicholas reached out and pushed open the fire door, everyone was stunned.
There were thirty or forty infected people crowded in the passage in front of the fire door. When Nicholas pushed the door open, the fire door made an unpleasant "squeak" sound.
Hearing this "squeak", the infected people who were staring at the fire gate all turned their heads, and then they let out a numbing roar.
