Chapter 6 (1/2)
”Clang, clang ~ ~ ~”
With a crisp sound, the rearview mirror on the right side of the chariot became history.
Halt cursed, but he had no intention of stopping or turning around, which meant that the men in the car were not prepared to fight with the mob.
After zero days, with the change of the silver pupils in the golden right eye, the vision was closed once again.
The mob was a bearded man.
He was wearing a tattered vest, and on the front of the vest, there was a sign in English that said ”Giant Team, come on!”
Such clothes naturally could not provide any protection at all, thus the man's body was as black as coal due to the intense ultraviolet rays from the sun for a long time.
In addition to his dark skin, Zero also found a layer of something similar to the stratum corneum on his shoulder and forearm.
It would be a variation of some sort, thought Zero.
In the desolate wilderness, radiation was everywhere.
If one wasn't an Adept, then one had to wear radiation-proof clothing like the rest of them to travel through the wilderness.
After several generations of improvement, the latest version of anti-radiation clothing is no different from ordinary clothing.
They were clearly heavier, closer to the uniform, and the model was lagging behind.
However, compared to the mob outside, he was much better.
The chariot went away, leaving the mob far behind, and drew back into sight.
”They want the car.”
said Zoug slowly, smoking a cigarette.
Zero lowered his head, understanding.
The uninhabitable surface, where bases, companies, or shoddy settlements are hidden.
The distance between these locations is usually more than a thousand kilometers, and today the world is unusually vast.
Without the means of transportation, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to pass through the wilderness where danger lurked. This was the logical reaction of the mob when they arrived at the chariot.
Another half an hour and the chariot stopped.
In front of the car was the entrance to the small town. The sign beside the road showed that the sign ”Welcome to Silver Tree City” was on the ground.
There was a head stuck in the pole alone. It was a man with a terrified expression on his face.
His head was stuck in an iron pole that went right through his neck, leaving the man's head in the sun, stinking.
The hot air generated by the sunlight caused the town to distort and distort, like a demon city.
Silver Tree City was very quiet. Occasionally, a strong wind would blow by, and the sound of cans rolling on the ground could be heard.
”The living corpse's vision has deteriorated, but its hearing and sense of smell are unusually well-developed.
If we drove into town, no doubt we'd tell the sleeping guys, Hey, food's coming in.
Zoug made a wagging motion, then laughed to himself, feeling no tension at all.
Zergs listened to him, and the information in Zerg's words was quickly memorized, classified, and summed up by him.
Thus, the information regarding the living corpse was gradually forming in his mind.
Zero didn't stay idle either. Listening to Zoug's words, he would soon enter the town on foot. Thus, a routine check was necessary.
He quickly checked his equipment, a submachine gun, a dagger, several pieces of ammunition, and a jug of secondary drinking water.
As he did so, Zoug looked at him with approval.
The others quickly checked themselves out, and the leader's left hand opened the door and stepped out into the hot sun.
Zero followed and left the tank, passing by the cooling space of the refrigeration system. In a moment, they were on the ground that was comparable to the desert and almost thought that they were going to combust with him.
However, after a short period of discomfort, his body quickly recovered.
Even Zero himself didn't realize that he didn't have a single drop of sweat on his body, even after being bathed by the sunlight with high intensity ultraviolet rays.
As for the others, they were already drenched in sweat after a short moment.
Silver Tree City wasn't that big. An urban street shaped like a curved ruler ran across the small city.
20 square kilometers of the town, residential areas, schools, libraries, hospitals and police station and other urban facilities.
In the old days, the tranquil town had a population of about a thousand people and was famous for growing large numbers of ginkgo trees.
Now, naturally, there were no greenery. The buildings in the city were semi-damaged, and only the only school in the city was still intact.
But it had also become a place of living corpses, so the map in Zek's hands was marked with big red ”Danger.”
After walking into the city, the team rested for a while in the garage of a house.
He took out the map and made a simple plan.
On the west side of the city, next to the police station, was the only hospital in Silver Tree.
The hospital drew a red circle on the map, and Zag pointed it out. ”This is where we're aiming. Mary Hospital has five floors, and the medicine is in the basement storeroom.”
”We don't know what's going on inside. There might be living corpses or other monsters, especially in the basement. It's their favorite paradise, so we need to be extra careful with our actions.”
”Everything that can produce a light source must be removed. If there is a light source in the underground space, it is tantamount to telling these monsters that we are here.”
All switched to infrared scouts, and they had to have silencers on the guns. Those guys have good ears. ”
Lingcun was stunned. He did not receive any infrared scouts or silencers.
Fortunately, Zuo Ge seemed to have expected this to happen. He took out these two items from his military bag and handed them to Zero without any hesitation.
Take out another map. It's the floor plan of the hospital basement.
Lefg pointed to the door and said, ”Holt, you stay here and install enough explosives on the door.”
”Once we get the medicine to retreat, if any living corpses chase us, we will take yours.”
Huo Que nodded, patted his chest and said, ”Leave it to me, I will keep it safe and blast those bastards' eggs out.”
Zek smiled and nodded to Carl, Tony, and Zero.
He said, ”The three of you, follow me in. I will be responsible for the exploration. Karl and Tony, you will be responsible for providing firepower support when necessary.”
As for you zero, I hope that when we retreat, a certain living corpse will not suddenly jump out and obstruct us. ”
Zero did not say anything, but he did not object, indicating that he had accepted the job.
Finally, he said to Ellen, ”Find me a suitable stop point and make sure we don't get bitten by a live corpse when we pull out of the hospital building.
At the same time, you will arrange a retreat for yourself. We will gather outside the city.
Well, gentlemen, if you're ready, I think it's time to act. ”
”Now, check out the time!”
We still have four hours before sunset. Move fast! ”
Zoug ended with this statement, which represented the beginning of action.
After leaving the garage, Ellen left the group for the time being.
Five men, including Zero, moved quickly toward the hospital, and a moment later they were standing outside the building.
