After many days of clearing operations, every company in Shuguang, from the company commander down to every soldier, is growing rapidly. Now, no one of them would panic when they encountered danger.
Moreover, everyone's cooperation with their comrades has become extremely tacit.
Therefore, the casualty rate has also been reduced. Even if they encounter first-level zombies, they can kill them without panic. Even if they encounter second-level zombies, ordinary soldiers can still circle around and wait for support to arrive.
After many days of settlement, Shuguang also gained a lot.
Including supplies, medicines, equipment, and of course survivors.
...
On the expressway from New District to BY City, about 30 kilometers from the airport, there are tunnels.
The entrance of the tunnel was packed with cars, blocking the entrance. Visually, there was no way for entry or exit.
In the tunnel, it was pitch black, with only a little light coming out occasionally.
Through the light, you can see various vehicles parked neatly in the tunnel.
Each of these cars is like a residence. A black shadow sneaks from one car into another not far away.
Not long after, the person in the car whispered, "Xiao Xiao, is what you said this afternoon true?"
This is the voice of an old man, who lacks confidence when speaking.
"Grandpa Wu, yesterday evening, I received a message at the tunnel entrance. As long as it was more than ten meters away from the tunnel entrance, the signal could not be received! But I am sure that someone in the new area has really established a survivor base, and they are recruiting survivors.
I think we should go check it out!”
"They will definitely not agree!" the old man said.
"But if we continue like this, we will starve to death. There is less and less food outside, and a lot of it is broken and rotten! And we can't walk too far every day! Even if we don't starve to death, my identity as a woman
Sooner or later the secret will be revealed, do you think they will let me go?"
"Then what do you want to do?" the old man surnamed Wu asked.
"Tomorrow is my turn to go out. I want to escape. If I have a chance, if it's you... I will come back to save you, but if..."
"Are you here to say goodbye to me?" the old man surnamed Wu asked.
"Um!"
"Well, instead of struggling like this, it's better to give it a try!" The old man surnamed Wu sighed, "Hey, I'm old and can't run anymore. Otherwise, I will make the same choice as you!"
"Grandpa Wu, thank you for taking care of me all the time! Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely come back to save you. Those thugs, they will not die well!"
The old man surnamed Wu shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't take much care of you, but you, a clever guy, have not discovered your daughter's body for so long."
"Hehe, who told me to learn dubbing before..."
The previously rough male voice instantly turned into a female voice, with a very sweet voice.
"Um, Grandpa Wu, what is this?"
"This is a bag of chocolates I've hidden to give you some energy on the way. That's all I can do now!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Wu!"
At this time, there was a noise. Although the tunnel was about three kilometers long, even if someone spoke loudly at the other end, the sound could be heard here.
"They started torturing women again!"
"Hey!" The old man named Wu sighed.
........
"Please, can you please come back to stutter? If this continues, I will die!"
"It's gone today. Those losers have found less and less food. It's not enough for us to eat! You don't have to move, just lie down!"
"Hey, boy, what are you looking at? If you look at me again, I will shoot you!"
Then there was a burst of wailing and gasping.
........
After nightfall, five men gathered together in a bus. The leader of the group had a long scar on his face.
"Tell me, what should we do next?" The scarred man looked at the four of them and said.
"Brother, how about we expand the scope? There will always be food!" one of them said.
The person next to him immediately shook his head and said, "No, once the range expands, they may escape!"
"Huh, if you want to run away, run away early. You won't wait until now. Besides, the people we keep are all people with ties, unless they want to abandon their relatives!"
"that is!"
The scarred man coughed and said, "You all should calm down for the past two days. These days, there are fewer and fewer women. It's not the smart people who kill the goose and get the eggs."
"Hey, brother, please consider my previous proposal!"
The scarred man squinted his eyes and said, "Wait and see, if you really can't resist, you can only use your method, but they may find out, which will cause them to resist! Besides, as time goes by,
There will be no one available for us, so why don’t we go out and take risks on our own?”
"Brother, we can live comfortably one day at a time, so why bother thinking so long term!"
........
Early next morning.
In the tunnel, there was a sound of iron rods hitting the car body, and the jingling of bells woke everyone up from their sleep.
"Gather, gather!"
Xiao Xiaoling was also woken up. She sat up from the car seat and got out of the car.
At this time every day, Chief Scar will call all the survivors, assemble in the center of the tunnel, and then lecture them.
After familiarity with the road, Xiao Xiaoling arrived at the gathering place. Two car lights illuminated a large area in the center of the tunnel. Five leaders were sitting on the removed car seats. In the middle was leader Scar. There were two people on each side, respectively.
Two, three, four, five and four leaders.
A group of survivors stood opposite, about twenty of them.
Xiao Xiaoling remembered that a few months ago, there were more than forty people here. After such a long time, some died, some ran away, and some were killed!
The five leaders initially promised to help them survive, but soon after everyone worked together to build this proposed shelter along the tunnel, the five of them revealed their evil faces.
Seize women and force other men to go out to search for food for them.
There were still some thorns in the side of loners or men without worries, but they all disappeared within the first month.
Soon, everyone understood what was going on, but they dared not speak out.
The main reason is that these five people have guns.
Later, a leader let it slip that they were prisoners extradited back to the country. They had just gotten off the plane and were being escorted to LZ City when the apocalypse broke out.
Then they took the opportunity to seize the escorting police officer's gun.
In other words, these five people are real thugs!
The second is that as a shelter, this place can still block the threat of zombies. Once you get out, you will be in danger.
As a social animal, humans really need some courage to face the end of the world alone without others.
Also, once a person becomes dependent, it is difficult to make changes.
"Ahem!" The scarred man coughed twice, and all the survivors closed their mouths.
"Whose turn is it to go out today?" the scarred man said.
Xiao Xiaoling sighed and stood up along with several others.
The scarred man shook the gun in his hand and said, "You all know our situation, right? What I want to say is that if you go out today, you must bring back enough supplies. If it's still the same as the previous few days, I'm sorry.
If it doesn’t happen, your relatives will all die!”
After hearing this, Xiao Xiaoling unconsciously looked at Wu Degao, who also looked at her, as if there was encouragement in his eyes.
She clenched her fists and gathered her attention.
