Doomsday rat

"Hey, let me tell you what's going on in front. I was surprised. Why don't you get out of the way and I'll open the way!" Only the armored vehicle of the Survival Alliance didn't move, and even sent a question.

"Old Liang, after hearing Captain Hong's order, execute it immediately. Everyone, be vigilant, we may be in trouble!" Zhou Yuan didn't delay for half a second, and immediately repeated Hong Tao's order, and handed over the command.

"What's going on?" But she didn't know what happened, and looked at Hong Tao suspiciously.

"Do you know those birds?" Hong Tao pointed to the northern sky through the windshield.

"Eagle?" Without Hong Tao's reminder, Zhou Yuan would not have noticed that there were still some birds flying in the distant sky.Their flying posture is a bit like a soaring eagle, but the number of wings flapping is a little bit more, and the wingspan is not enough.

"That's a crow..." Hong Tao took off the telescope from his lap and handed it over.

"Oh, just tell me, what does the crow have to do with us!" Zhou Yuan didn't answer, be it eagles or crows, there were already many birds in the mountains, but after the catastrophe there were even more.

In winter, there are often a large group of crows flying over the city, and even set up their homes in high-rise buildings that have lost their human fireworks. What's the fuss about this?

"The crows leave their nests at dawn to find food, and return to their nests to rest at dusk. What do you mean by such a large group of crows flying in circles over an area in broad daylight without searching for food or landing to rest?"

Hong Tao took the binoculars back and put them on his eyes, and started to scan the 180-degree fan from the left side of the mountain, explaining while watching, but unfortunately there were no answers, only questions.

"...Could it be that something happened in the station? That should be the location of the station!"

Zhou Yuan bit her lower lip and thought about it for a few seconds, and didn't ask any more questions. She chose to trust Hong Tao's judgment, but she was a little anxious.After traveling such a long distance, if someone else took over the resident first, even if Hong Tao didn't complain, he would not only have not paid the debt, but would have owed him more and more.

"Attention everyone, load the bullet, keep your fingers away from the trigger...Xiao Pan, release the drone...Fly high, don't let the ground hear the movement."

Hong Tao ignored the woman, still scanning with his binoculars.The circle of looking far away has been completed, and now I lowered my viewing angle and inspected carefully on both sides of the mountain road. At the same time, my mouth was not idle, and I gave two more orders.

"Come on, get out of the car..." Before Pan Wenxiang could assemble the drone, Hong Tao suddenly put down the binoculars and opened the car door, beckoning to Zhou Yuan.

"Look what this is..." The two walked to the side of the road one after the other. Hong Tao knelt down and put on his gloves, pushed aside the thorny bushes, and pointed to the soil below that had not been completely wet by the drizzle.

"...foot, footprints... so many!" Zhou Yuan bent down and looked in through the gap when she heard the sound, and immediately exclaimed.

If it wasn't raining, it wouldn't be very clear on the dry soil, but after being partly wet by rain, the imprints and outlines would be very clear as if they had been soaked in developer solution.Some have patterns on the soles, and some are simply barefoot.

Those are human footprints, many, innumerable, and the direction of the toes is all along the mountain road.This reminded her of the station, and she turned her head to look up the mountain.It's a pity that the station cannot be seen from here, and the sight is blocked by the small hill with the iron tower standing in front.

"And these...should be pieces of clothes...they are definitely not people, no one can walk in the thorn bushes! Does any of you know when this rain started?"

Hong Tao didn't raise his head, he tried to squeeze into the thorny bushes, broke a branch, picked up a piece of black fabric from a little distance away, looked at the sun, and threw it away again.

"Report, Pei Jinxi and I were on the 4th shift last night, and the rain should be around 4:[-] in the morning!" Bao Lide's thick and slightly accented answer came from the channel soon.

"There is no soil on the footprints. They must have gone up the mountain before or not long after it rained...Hush...Listen together, do you hear anything!"

Hong Tao stroked his chin thoughtfully, then ran to the other side of the mountain road and looked through the bushes. There were the same traces underneath.Just as he was about to return to the car, he suddenly stopped and asked softly on the channel.

"...it seems to be knocking on an iron bucket...the sound is too low to hear clearly." In an instant, heads poked out of the windows of all the cars, but no one heard it. Only Zhou Yuan seemed to have something, and she was still very uncertain.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the sound of heavy machine guns... The bad news is that the station may be besieged by zombies, but the good news is that the resistance is still going on!" It wasn't the group of people circling on the mountainside that gave Hong Tao the order to stop. Crows, but this very rhythmic low-pitched sound.

It may be that the frequency response range of the human ear is different, or it may be that there was a mountain wind blowing at that time.Anyway, I could hear it very clearly, thump thump thump thump thump...the standard burst rhythm, which was similar to the feeling when the fat Pawei brought him to the shooting range in Canada to play Maxim.

297 Into the Mountain 3

"Zombies! They still hide from the main road and don't leave footprints on purpose?" Zhou Yuan was already a little anxious when she heard that something happened in the station, she was very unwilling to accept this reality, trying to find out what was unreasonable, as if she only wanted to use Hong Tao's deduction Refuting can make the resident safe.

"They didn't hide from the main road, but there were too many mountain roads for them to use. Some of them simply passed through the thorn bushes. The ground on the mountain roads was very hard, leaving no traces. The ground inside the thorn bushes was softer. If it wasn't for the rain, it would be fine Can't come out. Remember the living zombies I said? They have vision and intelligence, and they can control the movement of zombies. It's not surprising that they do this kind of thing. As for why so many zombies went up the mountain, I think the target is very likely It's the station."

If only zombies were infesting Hong Tao, he wouldn't have to be so cautious. Ever since he found the footprints on the side of the road, those miserable white eyes and pupils like small black dots immediately appeared in his mind.

"...Then do you plan to rescue or evacuate?" Although Zhou Yuan had never seen a living corpse, she had heard Hong Tao's description and took it seriously. She took a deep breath and tried to regain her sanity.

"Don't worry, let's check the situation first..." Hong Tao pointed to Pan Wenxiang who was holding the remote control in the turret on the roof of the car.Whether it's rescue or evacuation, it's useless to say it yourself, it depends on the actual situation.The video transmission distance of the UAV is limited, and the flight speed is also limited, so it is useless to rush.

"Little fat man, let your thing go faster..." But Zhou Yuan didn't have such good patience, and it wasn't because she was impetuous. It should be regarded as caring but chaotic.

This resident is very important to the Survival Alliance, and it is related to the future development direction. If the living corpses are destroyed, the plan will have to be readjusted. It is hard to say whether the rescue team will provide help.

"Hey, don't be impatient... It's useless to be anxious, the more you have to be calm at this time. For subordinates, if you don't say anything at the moment, they think you know what's in your mind, and if you talk blindly, you'll reveal everything "Hong Tao quickly interrupted Zhou Yuan's chaos, and waved to Pan Wenxiang to signal him to ignore it.

"Phew...then you're just pretending to know what's going on right now?" Zhou Yuan took a few deep breaths and finally restrained her emotions.

"Well, now I have nothing to do but prepare to escape. But the team members must think that I have a plan in mind. Look at how calm they are. This is called morale."

"You, your IQ and EQ are beyond ordinary people, and you have enough courage, but you lack a lot of ruthlessness. You are not suitable for leading troops, but more suitable for internal affairs. Think about it, why don't you come and help me when the time is right... at least You have to sit on an equal footing with Lin Na, how about that?"

What Hong Tao said was all the truth. Without the drone screen, he had no shit to do. He had already prepared to escape.As long as the situation is not good, you don't even need to turn around, just get in the car and mess with me!

"Ha... You are really good at fooling around, I almost agreed. Did you raise those living corpses, just to set off the atmosphere for you. I heard that you raised a zombie in the courtyard of Houhai very early on. You and the zombies played a double reed, swallowed the Survival Alliance in a few words, and I have to thank you when it's done!"

As usual, as long as Hong Tao dared to say something from the bottom of his heart, he would be hit mercilessly immediately.Zhou Yuan gave a dry laugh, raised her chin high, and acted like I see through you, and I would rather die than surrender.

"...All right, then I'll go and see how my brother is besieged, and I can save him or not!"

How should I describe my mood at this time, don't be old-fashioned, let's come to a poem.I originally set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!Just as Pan Wenxiang made a gesture, the picture came, and Hong Tao left the proud and conceited strange woman and got into the car.

The mountain road turned to the right from the small hill under the iron tower to a hairpin bend, and then extended northward along the mountainside for about one kilometer. There was a military truck parked on the hairpin bend.

At this moment, the car door was wide open, and there were dozens of zombies standing beside them stupidly, all facing east, trying to bathe their bodies in the rising sun.But among them, squatting or lying down, two people wearing military uniforms... or corpses, maybe they are living corpses, but they are not zombies anyway.

The squatting guy was using a knife to cut open the chest and abdomen of the upside-down corpse, as if he was looking for something, or he might be dissecting it.The drone flies very high, and the picture cannot be drawn too close.But it must be a knife in its hand, reflecting the sunlight from time to time.

A few hundred meters further north, there are dark zombies, on the road, on the hillside, and on the ridge.At this time, they were attacking the walls and gates built on the mountainside from several directions.

Rugged mountains, dense weeds, low woods, thorny thorns, steep rock walls, almost any terrain can't stop their footsteps, the speed is not fast but the goal is clear, and the pace is extremely firm.

As soon as you encounter insurmountable terrain, you will lie down layer by layer, using your body to pad a slope alive, and let the companions behind step on your body to continue moving forward.But all of this was done silently, as if watching a silent movie, very eerie.

The resident wall is built of stones, about four meters, not very high, but it looks very strong.The big iron gates are relatively ordinary, with one closed tightly and a small door on top of it, half open.There is also a wooden sentry box by the door, which has fallen down at this time, and it is empty inside.

The gunshots did not come from near the walls and gates, and no one could even be seen.However, as long as a zombie arhat climbs up the wall or the iron gate, it will be blown away by the huge impact and shattered in the air.

There were already dozens of round holes on the two iron gates, and the top of the wall was also filled with gravel. I don’t know why the bullets were so powerful. They could easily penetrate the iron gates and smash the stones, without reducing their force. Sweep away the group of zombies gathered outside.

Other details... none!The remote control of the drone has already issued an alarm sound, the distance of the convoy is still too far, and the station is surrounded by trees, the power of the drone is basically only enough for one round trip.

Hong Tao didn't ask Pan Wenxiang to use the logistics drone, and the basic situation has been grasped. As for how many people are in the station, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it.The answer is clear, there are very few people inside, otherwise they would not give up the walls and gates, and only rely on a heavy weapon to resist the siege of zombies.

The only advantage of doing this is that it saves manpower, and one or two people can operate it.It is not so much a resistance as a dying struggle.Whenever you run out of ammunition, or your weapon overheats, you are dead and there is no way out!

"It should be it. It looks like a soldier. I don't know why it turned into a living corpse. It must have been bullied a lot in the past. This is going outside to call for reinforcements. It's a counterattack!"

In fact, Hong Tao didn't care too much about the situation in the garrison. All his attention was focused on the living corpse squatting on the ground to dissect the corpse.This one's ability and intelligence are obviously much stronger than that of Jinmen Port, and they all know how to ambush trucks before attacking.

"That's too much... No wonder when we passed by the town at the foot of the mountain, there were no people except dogs barking!" Zhou Yuan was also staring at the screen. She didn't even know which one was a living corpse, but the zombies everywhere were more Hearsay living corpses are more visually impactful.

"As long as the living corpses are dried to death, no matter how much those stupid guys are, they can be lured away without firing a single shot." The screen cut off, and the drone began to return.Hong Tao took out the cigarette and pondered over the specific action steps in his mind.

"Or... let's withdraw, I owe you this time. There are too many, and the terrain here is not conducive to vehicles, it is too dangerous."

She was taken aback when she saw the scene of zombies besieging the garrison, Zhou Yuan's face suddenly turned pale, and she kept holding her hands tightly, but finally couldn't bear the torment of fear and gave up.

"Please, you are in my command vehicle, can you say something to inspire the army! Have you seen this? This is a negative teaching material. When evaluating the enemy and the enemy, you can't pay attention to the number and ignore the most important advantage. Little Tell me, Pan, what is our greatest advantage?"

That's right, Zhou Yuan was not the only one who was counseled, but several members of the secret service team in the car were also a little nervous, including Pan Wenxiang who had seen the zombie group at Jinmen Wharf.He was assembling the logistics drone, and there was already a fine layer of sweat on the tip of his nose, his hands were still trembling, and he was panting heavily.

298 Into the Mountain 4

"I, I didn't have time to think about it... why don't you ask them first!" Hearing the question, the little fat man didn't even raise his head, and if he had to say something, he might retreat.But he knew what kind of character his leader was, and this answer was definitely wrong, so he just found an excuse not to answer.

"..." Pei Shanxi, who was sitting in the back, suddenly made a gesture. Compared with the others, she was calmer.Back then on the bulk carrier at the pier, at least I experienced being surrounded by zombies for several days. If I didn't make any progress, I couldn't justify it.

"That's right, Shanxi is right. Our biggest advantage is our position! The living corpses don't know our existence, which is the first condition for a surprise attack. As long as we kill it, we will win."

Hong Tao really wanted to hold the girl's head and kiss her, and the answer was too timely.At this time, not only a negative teaching material like Zhou Yuan was needed, but also a positive image, and Pei Shanxi played this role in a timely manner.

"Car No. 1 reverses up the hill, and the other vehicles stand by!" What is the surprise attack? Now is not the time to break it apart and explain it. Some things need to be known to subordinates, and some just obey orders.

"...I've never seen such a brave army!" Jiao San carried out the order resolutely, and the saber-toothed tiger spewed out a puff of black smoke and drove slowly up the mountain road.Seeing the car with its butt facing forward, Zhou Yuan wanted to laugh but couldn't. In the end, she couldn't hold back and teased softly.

"Hey hey...you can learn a lot from me, right? Let me tell you, Xiao Pan, can you hurry up and assemble the main parts before you come out, so that you don't have to cram when it's time to use it!"

Hong Tao didn't refute. The way he reversed the car up the hill really didn't look very majestic, but compared with Xiao Ming, he could give up any face.When it comes to his life, Pan Wenxiang should be unlucky. It has been a long time since the drone has not risen, and his eyes are smeared. Let yourself, the commander, rely on Mao to command!

"Okay, okay, I have to go down for final assembly, it won't fit in the car!"

Pan Wenxiang wiped off his sweat, and gave Zhou Yuan a bitter look.What a vixen, if she wasn't there to make fun of me, I wouldn't have suffered an innocent disaster.That's right, it's an unwarranted disaster, and this leader is very good at finding faults.

Jiao San's leading car just moved forward on the mountain road, and gradually approached the hill below the iron tower, and then stopped.This is what Hong Tao wants, as long as there are no zombies ambushing on both sides of the mountain road, that's enough.

Then the entire convoy, except for the fuel tanker, started, and all of them backed up the mountain with their butts ahead.The oil tanker was too heavy and it was inconvenient to move, so we stayed at the foot of the mountain as a support.

"Randy, San'er, Bao Lide, get ready on the base of the iron tower, be careful not to expose your head, living corpses have eyesight! Yu Zhen, get your pistol and magazines ready. The others are on standby in the car, don't turn off the fire!"

After the four cars parked under the mountain bag one by one, Hong Tao began to roll call and arrange tasks.At the same time, I was tossing in the car. I pulled out all the composite ceramic inserts on the body armor, and took off the glory bullets. I filled the empty space with pistol magazines, and stuffed a few ropes and covers into the backpack. Net for luggage.

"What on earth are you going to do?" Seeing Hong Tao picking up another rubber stick, Zhou Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how she looked, she didn't look like she was going to fight.

"Watch me catch you alive!" Zhou Yuan really guessed right, Hong Tao didn't go to kill the living corpse, but to catch the living corpse!

He doesn't know what kind of specimens are needed for scientific research, but living things like mice and rabbits are generally needed in laboratories. Presumably there are only living corpses, which can give medical scientists and scientists more inspiration. Bar.

"Catch... what?" Zhou Yuan felt that she was a little deaf.

"Hahaha, don't put on such an unbelievable expression... In ancient times, there was a general who took the head of a general from the army, and I have no fewer parts than them. Why can't I come to the zombie jungle to catch the living corpse!"

Hong Tao suddenly laughed loudly in a low voice. Others laughed more and their eyes became smaller, but he laughed more and more.If the eyes are the windows to the soul, the house will naturally change if the windows change.

The whole person has become completely different, no longer insidious and cunning, and no longer shrinking his head and tail, his image suddenly becomes taller, full of pride, as if he has been shot in the horseshoe in the crotch, and is about to rush into the army.The people in the car, including Zhou Yuan, all lost their minds for a moment.

"This pretense finally succeeded once! Zhong Wei, you will take over the command of the No. 1 car and be responsible for the rear end."

In fact, just a few steps away, the expression on Hong Tao's face returned to normal.All the pride is a lie, and I can do it myself, but it doesn't last long, and the success rate is very low.I didn't expect it to be successful this time. Congratulations, it's a good sign.

"Yu Zhen, come with me...Xiao Pan, report the actions of the living corpse at any time!" Hong Tao did not climb the dirt slope, but walked forward with Yu Zhen along the mountain road in a grand manner, and soon came to the corner , Then the cat bent his back and took advantage of the cover of the thorn bushes, but he didn't stop walking, and went straight to the group of zombies more than 200 meters away.

"It, it is cutting the thighs of the corpse with a knife, cutting the meat into strips... Ugh, it has opened the skull of the corpse, and the inside has been eaten! I think this guy is the same as the one in the Indian embassy Guys are all cannibals, but this corpse has not mutated, and there is blood in the muscles..."

The camera carried by the logistics drone is relatively large, with higher resolution, optical and digital zoom, and can observe at high altitude.Pan Wenxiang was the only one who had close contact with a living corpse. He was both terrified and curious about this thing. He kept switching between the full-scale and close-up images, and carefully observed the details of what happened below.

"Don't babble, who cares what it eats, keep an eye on the zombies in the distance!" Soon Jiao San's protest came from the channel. but.

"Get ready, the zombies are feeling it..." After a few minutes, Hong Tao and Yu Zhen stopped in their tracks.Some of the small pile of zombies turned their bodies this way.

Although zombies have no eyesight, they have a perception that is neither auditory nor olfactory. Everyone, no matter what strange smell is on the body, or how stealthy they are, as long as they enter their detection range, they will be found 100% of the time. It's really evil.

"Randy, be sure to keep it, others are not allowed to target the living corpse... 1, 2, 3... let's go!"

This characteristic of zombies is well known, at least in the League of Survivors.Hong Tao didn't intend to do another experiment either. After counting down softly, he jumped up with Yu Zhen, striding towards the group of zombies tens of meters away at a speed of [-] meters.

"Hey..." The group of zombies reacted immediately, and the living corpse roared even more.Then a strange thing happened, the group of zombies did not rush forward, only a dozen or so came forward, and the rest retreated, wrapping the living corpses in a circle and retreating towards the station.

"Bang... bang... bang... bang" Immediately there were two completely different gunshots. The slightly low but tough one was Randy's semi-automatic sniper rifle M110, and the crisper ones were Jiao San and Bao Lide's gunshots. Automatic rifle HK416 in hand.

With the sound of the gunshot, the dozen or so zombies that rushed towards Hong Tao and Yu Zhen were unscathed, but the group of zombies moving to the other side kept falling to the ground.Obviously, the three gunmen ambushing on the base of the iron tower did not intend to help Hong Tao solve the problem, but were chasing and shooting another group of zombies.

"Crack, crack, crack..." Then what should Hong Tao do?Isn't there still Yu Zhen?

He is best at shooting with pistols at medium and short distances, and he can hit flying crows, as well as moving zombie heads.As the distance between the two sides approached rapidly, he also opened fire, holding guns in both hands and shooting while walking, knocking down a zombie with an average of two shots.

"Captain Hong, the zombie group has exploded...the living corpse seems to have been knocked down..." Pan Wenxiang's trembling voice came from the earphones, two pieces of news, one good and the other bad.

Half a kilometer away, there is a black line rolling towards this side. The zombies have given up their station and all returned to help.And 50 meters away, the small group of zombies had been completely laid down by the three sharpshooters.

Several of them survived, but suffered severe injuries to their torsos and limbs, leaving them largely incapacitated.Only the guy in the green training uniform is still trying to get up.But every time it fell, half of its right calf had left its original position and remained permanently on the dirt road a few meters away.

299 Into the Mountain 5

"Papapa..." Seeing this, Hong Tao immediately quickened his pace and rushed forward close to the side of the road.A zombie tried to pounce, but he fired three shots a few meters away to repel it.

Yes, it’s repelling. He can’t even reach the eighth-ring score when shooting a fixed target from a standing position, let alone shooting a moving target while walking. .

It doesn't matter if you can't kill him, the continuous impact force of the bullets is enough to repel the opponent, and Yu Zhen will do the rest.Now it is necessary to quickly run through the distance of tens of meters, grab the crippled living corpse, bring it back to the convoy, and evacuate quickly.Otherwise, the thousands, maybe tens of thousands of zombies hundreds of meters away will surround the convoy, and no one will escape.

Passing through this group of blocking zombies, Hong Tao immediately took off the gas mask from his back and put it on his head, then reached out from his backpack and took out the rope net that fixed the cargo, and spun on top of his head while running.

Seeing someone running towards him, the living corpse was very angry, grinning and staring.It probably wants to say, I have become like this, how dare you be unscrupulous!Then he stood up on one leg, trying to stop the big man from approaching with the knife in his hand.

It's a pity that this living corpse still underestimated the despicableness of human beings. The rope net was like a fishing net. It was thrown over six or seven meters away from it, opened while spinning, and was accurately placed under the hood.

Just this move, I don't know how many hundreds of years of human intelligence and wisdom have been condensed, and I don't know how many heroes have all died under the net.Anyone who is covered by it has their hands and feet tied up, and if they take it off slowly, they will just return it.

"Honey, I'll pick you up and enjoy yourself... Whoosh... Bang!" The living corpse didn't seem to know this trick, but even if it did, it would be too late.

At the moment when the rope net was under the hood, Hong Tao also rushed towards him with a grinning grin, saying hello, and leaped over one meter away without slowing down.The person passed by, and a black lacquered rubber stick accurately hit the head of the living corpse.The person fell to the ground, and the living corpse fell to the ground, all in one go, without any unnecessary movements.

This trick is called volley, and it is Hong Tao's favorite way of shooting.In fact, when he was playing ice hockey, he never succeeded in fixed-point shooting. He was neither accurate nor strong and fast, so he simply stopped practicing.

But he had to shoot, so he specialized in another skill, volley!Although it is more difficult, the success rate is higher, which is really too much.Compared with the one-meter-long ice hockey stick, the two-foot-long rubber stick is simply too handy. The head of the living corpse must be larger than the ice hockey puck, and it must be hit with one hit!

"Boom...boom..." Before the living corpse fell to the ground, Hong Tao rubbed his body and raised his hand to strike again.A living corpse with a concussion is also better than biting yourself. It is estimated that scientists and medical scientists do not care much about the health of the living corpse.
