With a shout, more than a dozen strong men with guns gathered around.
This is a grassy patch of grass that is only as high as a person's knees and only covers an area of a few square meters. I didn't notice it at all during the previous search because this place was too inconspicuous and too small.
After listening to the morning gospel broadcast, Nicholas immediately changed the order from "looking for people" to "looking for bodies." As expected, it didn't take long for everyone to find the "person" in the grass where there was no way to hide it.
The remains of the missing team member were found.
Nicholas and Bill were squatting on the ground and carefully examining the corpse. They knew some basic autopsy knowledge, which was a routine operation in the field.
In early martial arts stories, the protagonist looked through the corpses and said to the girl next to him with a mysterious and pretentious look: "I'm listening to the dead."
Then he cheered the girl with a look of admiration.
Nicholas and Bill had no time to show off. They were carefully observing the wreckage, and then they told me their findings one by one:
"Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body, it should have taken no more than 20 minutes. In other words, he was still alive when Chel disappeared, and he died only after our first search was completed."
"The laceration on his neck was severe, and the trachea was torn out, but there was mud in the trachea, so it was not a fatal injury. This is consistent with his temporary survival after disappearing, but he has lost his ability to move, struggle and call for help.
"
"The corpse was cut open with a sharp weapon, and the wounds were smooth and neat. I prefer knives. Specially infected people may be able to use weapons, or they may have evolved bone knives."
"The wound on the neck was torn open, it was claws or teeth, I think it was fangs. First I grabbed it with both hands, then bit it on the neck, and then pulled it, just enough to tear open the throat without hurting it.
Blood vessel."
"The only missing organs in the body are the heart, liver, and spleen. These three organs contain a lot of blood and should have been eaten."
"How picky." Bill mumbled.
After ordinary infected people tear open a person's body, they usually blindly grab the largest internal organs and devour them. The lungs are in the chest and the intestines are in the abdominal cavity.
Therefore, corpses that have been eaten by ordinary infected people will lose a large part of their lungs and intestines.
Okay, basically the clues are almost there. After Nicholas and Bill stood up, they directed their team members to find a blanket and wrap the body, then poured some fuel on the blanket, and then Nicholas put a burning fur
The ball was thrown towards the blanket, and the flames exploded with a loud bang.
I have to admit that there were casualties on the first day of duty, which was not good for morale.
This is what happens when you are on the field, your life may be in danger at any time, but the problem now is that the convoy is being targeted by a special infected person.
The loss of a team member today does not mean that there is only one specially infected person, maybe it is just because there is only one "unlucky guy".
After everyone got up in the morning, Chel pulled some paper to poop. At this time, his teammates who lived together also joked to him and asked him to find a downwind outlet.
After a while, they started to gather for early roll call, but Chel still didn't come back, so Nicholas and Bill immediately ordered everyone to bring weapons and start the search.
After searching around, Chel was not found.
To be honest, it is not uncommon for Bill to have team members suddenly disappear. In the past, Bill would encounter several "lost" team members almost every week.
Generally speaking, those who defect or attempt to defect will be directly reduced to coolies after being caught. If they encounter a more merciful commander, they will waste an extra bullet and kill the person.
Many people would rather die than enter a coolie camp.
But in the reclamation regiment, there should not and cannot be such defectors. What's more, there was no sign of Chel's disappearance at all. All his equipment was still in the room, and no one would choose to defect with bare hands.
After a fruitless search, the team members who dispersed were brought back.
At this time, Nicholas heard the gospel broadcast, and Egg specifically reminded everyone to pay attention to the specially infected people. Only then did Nicholas suddenly feel that the team members had been killed.
Immediately, Nicholas organized a second search.
Because the search idea was changed, the second search became more detailed. Because the scope was determined, this search was carpet-like.
As expected, the team members involved in the search soon discovered Chel's remains in the inconspicuous weeds.
However, both Nicholas and Bill knew that the grass was just a place to dump the body, not the place where Chel was killed. Because there was not a lot of blood stains found in the grass, and the grass was so shallow, it was impossible to complete the dissection of a big man's intestines there.
It is impossible to eat and drink without anyone noticing.
In other words, Chel's remains were deliberately abandoned in the grass for them to find, in order to divert attention and not expose the murderer's true hiding place.
This is an ordinary residential area, about 20 kilometers away from Rama City.
There are seven or eight buildings in this residential area, as well as a small roadside shop. Other than that, it is a large barren land. Not even weeds can grow in the uncultivated farmland.
All the rooms in the residential area have been allocated. After all, there are hundreds of people in the second team this time. In addition, there is no place to hide here, let alone the first scene.
It's just so weird. In this situation where the field of vision is extremely wide and there are even people guarding the commanding heights, a team member was killed.
If it were in the past, there would definitely be rumors about "ghost killers" and "evil butchers".
Now everyone knows that there are no ghosts and no evil spirits, but something more terrifying than ghosts and evil spirits is staring at the team.
Specially infected people are not animals. They will not run away when they are full and come back next time when they are hungry. Instead, they will always follow the team and constantly look for opportunities.
hunter.
In the eyes of those with special infections, these survivors are prey just waiting to be killed.
Nicholas and Bill both remembered what Iger said about special infected people being able to ignore spatial barriers and sense survivors at super long distances. Now that we have an open enemy, we will always be caught in a loophole no matter how careful we are in our defense.
The Second Brigade was ordered to search homes in Rama City. They found no trace of infected people all the way here, but yesterday they found a pickup truck of the field reconnaissance team outside a single-family building on a city road.
After the members of the second brigade were fully armed and cautiously approached, they found that the entire reconnaissance team had been wiped out. Their bodies were so decomposed that they could not be identified at all. They did not know how many days they had been dead.
Finally, after advancing more than ten kilometers, the second brigade found a more stable residential area to camp, and arranged for multiple people to be on guard duty.
Nothing happened that night, but something happened at dawn.
The special infected hunted down the members of the second brigade and then deliberately abandoned the remains in a place where they could be easily discovered. This was an obvious act of provocation.
He told everyone blatantly, I am here, but you can't catch me.
All the members gathered in front of the fire. Nicholas quickly ordered the members to cancel breakfast this morning, use fast food directly, and break camp immediately to set off.
The enemy's purpose was to cause panic and delay everyone's progress, so Nicholas decided to do the opposite. I think your feet are faster or the car is faster.
The second group did not stop, quickly packed up their things and headed towards Rama City.
Nicholas's method of removing fuel from the fire was extremely decisive. Amidst the roar of cars, only a burning fire was left.
After a while, a humanoid creature that looked like a loach and was covered in mud slowly emerged from under the foundation of a house.
When these houses were built, in order to prevent occasional flooding during the rainy season, a layer of ground piles tens of centimeters high was installed on these houses. The houses were not built directly on the ground.
It was set up on piles of ground.
Just now, some team members used strong flashlights to check the lower layers of the house foundation one by one, but found nothing. What he didn't expect was that this thing was not "hidden" under the foundation at all, but was tightly packed like a gecko.
Place it upside down on the upper floor.
In this low and dark foundation, and the special infected person blending in with the environment when lying upside down on the floor, the team member took a quick glance and found nothing.
The convoy ran very fast, and it was not a trick at all. In just a few minutes, it had already traveled several kilometers away.
The figure looked at the fleeing convoy and slowly crawled forward while sticking to the ground.
…
Huge military transport planes have been hovering over the city for two weeks. As one of the landmark buildings, the bank building is very easy to recognize.
Unlike fighter jets or flights, military transport aircraft are designed with the possibility of airdrop missions in mind. Their low-speed cruising function is very good and they can achieve "slow steps in the air" that ordinary large aircraft cannot.
The difficulty of this mission is not the collision, but the accuracy of the collision.
The transport plane is circling in the sky at the lowest speed while the pilot is looking for the best entry point.
After Silina conveyed the general's order, the pilot had no choice.
It's a very despicable way to threaten someone with family members. Even people in the world know that "it doesn't bring harm to the family."
Because no one can stand it, and no one can guarantee that their family members will not be taken advantage of.
But the general has no psychological burden. For him, all means are options.
This morning, before taking off, the pilot and his co-pilot bid farewell to their families like heroes, and then took specially formulated medicine after boarding the plane.
This drug can expel people's fear and calm them down at the same time. Speaking of it, its formula is similar to the combat potion used by Egger and the others.
At the end of World War II, when Wanzi released disposable planes, in addition to mental brainwashing, welding the cabin doors shut, and only adding one-way fuel, he also generally administered this drug to the pilots.
Now the two people on the plane have almost lost human emotions. They are as cold as machines.
"The course has been determined and impact is expected in 20 seconds." The pilot said to the co-pilot with a cold expression.
"18."
"17."
"16."
…
The plane's siren sounded, and the pilot turned it off.
"14."
"13."
"12."
The speed of the plane was getting faster and faster under the influence of gravity, and the siren was forced to sound by the pilot to turn it off.
“pull up.”
“pull up.”
“pull up.”
…
"8."
"7."
"6."
"5."
"4."
As the ground in front of him got closer and closer, the co-pilot pressed the button in his hand, causing the plane to shake momentarily, and he manually detonated the explosive device in the cargo hold.
Just in case, military engineers installed two devices, manual control and fixed explosion, in the cabin. Manual detonation is the best option.
"3."
"2."
I don't know whether it was due to the influence of drugs or the plane's acceleration exceeding the pilot's expiration date. As soon as his countdown counted to 2, the plane tilted and fell into the bottom of the bank building.
There was a loud bang, and the bunker's command center saw this shocking scene from the drone footage.
With the impact, a large amount of flames burst out of the aircraft, which was instantly shattered like an egg. Then, these flames emerged from the aircraft like magma and slowly flowed downwards along the building.
The burning semi-solidified fuel flowed from the impact point to the ground, and then poured into the basement.
In the distance, Egger was telling everyone about his arson plan. Suddenly, a voice sounded in his head that made him mentally unbearable, and then nosebleeds spurted out from his nose.
