My ability pool is superior to others

Chapter 19 Shelter Point

This is the fifth day since Lu Bai came to this world.

All you can see are dense and messy trees, most of which are not tall and straight, and their branches are crooked.

Under my feet is a yellow mud road that is only one person wide. To be precise, it can hardly be called a road. It would be more appropriate to call it a passage formed by occasional people passing by.

It's a completely standard wilderness.

The afternoon sun shines through the branches and leaves onto the dead and rotten wood piles. This scene does not seem pleasant, but rather makes people feel depressed.

As for why Lu Bai came to this place, it all started with the location information released an hour ago.

He had previously been searching for the death fighters based on location information. Although it was not very efficient, there was no better way.

However, he noticed something strange from the recent rounds of positioning information released.

There are quite a few death fighters, and they seem to be gathering somewhere.

If he hadn't been paying attention to the location information, he might have overlooked it.

This is very strange.

What is it about that place that attracts the death fighters?
Having come to this conclusion, there is nothing much to say.

Even if there was nothing, just looking at the more than 30 red dots gathered in that area, Lu Bai would go and join in the fun.

However, he was unfamiliar with the city and had forgotten to bring a map with him in the department store.

So he followed the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and headed straight for that area.

Who knew that after leaving the urban area, the place became more and more desolate, and we couldn't even see the urban-rural junction.

"I estimate that the straight-line distance is about five or six kilometers. Is it behind this mountain?"

Lu Bai looked up at the mountains in front of him and pursed his dry lips.

On the plains, let alone five or six kilometers, even fifty or sixty kilometers would not be a problem for Lu Bai to go at full speed.

But the mountain road is different.

Anyone who has hiked through the mountains knows that even though the distance is short, you may not be able to finish it in a whole day.

Not to mention that there is a possibility of slipping and falling during the process, which could be fatal.

Fortunately, Lu Bai's current physical fitness can not be considered as that of an ordinary person. If he speeds up, he should be able to arrive before dark.

Of course, taking this sparsely populated road is not without its advantages. At least you don’t have to worry about zombies suddenly jumping out.

Lu Bai continued walking along the path into the depths of the forest, and the surrounding environment became increasingly deserted and quiet.

When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, when he reached the top of the mountain, he didn't need to climb up to look far away. As long as his eyes were fine, he would know what the place that attracted so many death fighters was like.

At the angle between two mountains, there is a huge military base.

It's even okay to call it a fortress.

A road extends from the main entrance of the base, and a tunnel penetrates the mountain, connecting the base with the outside world.

There are fully armed soldiers on guard in the watchtowers around the base.

Dozens of soldiers were guarding outside the closed gate.

In front of these soldiers, there were at least thousands of civilians queuing up for inspection. It seemed that they would only be allowed to enter the military base after being confirmed to be not infected.

As for the training ground inside the military base, it is covered with continuous military tents.

Looking down from a high vantage point, it is quite spectacular.

During this period, vehicles could be seen coming out of the tunnel from time to time, and they seemed to be survivors escaping from the city.

Lu Bai was a little confused. After seeing this scene, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have mentioned this on the radio.

[Residents in the surrounding area, please seek refuge in the suburbs as soon as possible while ensuring your own safety...] However, due to the influence of the zombie movies in his previous life, he didn't take it seriously.

It seems you can really find refuge here.

“Stereotypes are not good.”

To be honest, this situation is actually a normal development.

Film and television works need to exaggerate the doomsday atmosphere to highlight the protagonists' difficult survival, but reality does not need this.

The fact is, as long as the army gets through the initial chaos, it won't be difficult to clear out a city of hundreds of thousands of people even if there are only one or two hundred people left.

After the Maxim machine gun came onto the historical stage, traditional intensive charges no longer had any meaning.

Television and games have weakened the lethality of guns, and the flesh and blood body is more fragile than most people imagine.

You should know that the damage caused by a 7.62mm bullet hitting the human body is completely overflowing.

When it hits the body, it will first leave a hole at the point of entry, and finally leave a wound larger than a fist at the point of exit.

It is no exaggeration to say that none of the carbon-based organisms known to date, including dinosaurs, can withstand 7.62mm without any harm.

Conventional heavy machine guns fire bullets of two calibers, 12.7mm and 14.5mm, which are basically torso separators for humans.

Zombies, even the ridiculously powerful zombies that Lu Bai saw, still belong to the category of carbon-based life forms.

It might be easier for the army to face a tide of zombies than to face an equal number of humans.

After all, zombies won't turn around and run away.

However, this situation is not very good for Lu Bai.

He stood on the top of the mountain and observed for a while, and roughly estimated that there might be tens of thousands of people in this military base.

Dozens of death fighters were thrown in, but not even a splash was made.

The most important thing is that even if Lu Bai found out the fighters mixed in, it would not be easy for him to act openly.

But now that I'm here...

He pressed his temple with a headache and hesitated for a moment, then walked along the path down the mountain towards the military base.

……

"stop!"

On the wall, a soldier in camouflage uniform pointed his gun at Lu Bai.

The wall on the side of the military base is ten meters high, and there is no doubt that it is made of reinforced concrete and is very strong.

After a quick inspection and not finding any obvious wounds on Lu Bai's body, the soldier pointed his gun towards the gate and said, "Go and line up for inspection."

"Ok."

Lu Bai nodded obediently. He had originally planned to go in directly by climbing over the wall.

I thought to myself, "Even such a remote place is guarded by people. It seems that this base has more manpower than I thought. The defense force is so strong that I guess no death fighters would dare to kill people here. In a sense, is this a safe zone?"

Lu Bai pondered as he blended into the crowd.

Anyway, there were thousands of civilians queuing outside the gate waiting for inspection, so it wouldn't be out of place for him to sneak in.

Two rows of makeshift checkpoints made of tents divided the queue into two columns.

Due to the need to maintain order from time to time, the speed of the team was not fast at all.

Lu Bai looked around. The people around him did not seem to be in a good mental state. Many of them even had blood stains on their clothes.

It must be difficult for these people to come here alive.
