Doomsday rat

"Get in the car... Prepare to retreat... Make room for car No. 1, leaving only the driver, and the rest of the people go to other cars!" The corpse ran back, shouting in the channel while running, and took off the gas mask by the way.This thing is not only hot, but also suffocating.

About three or four minutes later, Hong Tao dragged a living corpse that weighed almost as much as an adult and ran the nearly 4-meter mountain road, returned to the convoy, and threw the living corpse into the trunk with the last of his strength. Then put a stick on its head.

"Retreat, retreat!" Before the car door was completely closed, Hong Tao, whose tongue was longer than a dog, gave the order to retreat, and the car's motor immediately roared.

I don't even care about the pits and ridges, just bump it up.The vanguard of the zombie army had already turned around the hill under the iron tower, and there was still a large area on the mountain ridge. If it was a minute or two slower, the convoy would be submerged by the tide of zombies.

"Oh, my mother... Fortunately, it was downhill, and grandpa ran to death... Hey! Why are you, who the hell asked you to stay!"

Hong Tao originally wanted to remind the driver to turn off the low-speed four-wheel drive, but just now he was going backwards up the mountain, but now he is still on it when going down the mountain.But when he looked up, he realized that it was Zhou Yuan who was driving.

"I'm the most courageous... Why is your car so difficult to drive, you can't go away just by stepping on the accelerator!" Zhou Yuanguang didn't look back, complaining about the car endlessly.

"Step on the brakes and pick up the neutral gear... Hurry up, step on the dead, pick up the neutral gear... step on the accelerator and leave!" Hong Tao didn't bother to explain, he crawled over the rear seat with his hands and feet, waited for the car to stop, reached out and pressed the two-wheel drive switch , Take advantage of the situation and put it in forward gear.The car finally returned to normal, but because the accelerator was stepped a little too deeply, a puff of black smoke came out.

"It, is it really alive?" As long as the car can run, there is no need to be afraid of zombies chasing it. Zhou Yuan also has the time to look back at the thing lying in the rear compartment.

"It's very likely... Fuck, it's out of breath... Do you think it can still breathe? Do you want to test the pulse again?"

Hong Tao was squatting next to the living corpse, tying its hands and feet with ropes, and by the way, simply stopped the wound on the short leg to stop the bleeding.At the same time, I didn't forget to reach out to sniff my breath, of course I dared to reach out only when I was stepping on my head.The result was very unsatisfactory, and the living corpse seemed to have died.

"...I think you should stop messing around, it might have a source of infection." Zhou Yuan grinned when she saw Hong Tao's actions in the rearview mirror. Seriously.

"Don't worry, this thing is not the same as a zombie. I'm afraid it is not contagious. It eats human flesh, living people, but not zombies. Think about it, if it is still contagious, wouldn't it starve to death by itself? !"

Hong Tao didn't care much about the issue of infection. Judging from the information fed back by survivors from all over the world, the infection method of zombie disease is very simple, and it must be through contact with body fluids.Theoretically speaking, if there is no wound on the skin, you will not be infected if you touch a zombie casually.

Living corpses should also be a type of zombie disease, but they eat human flesh and are still living people.If it has the ability to infect, a bite of meat will become fibrous before it is finished chewing, so it is more convenient to eat zombies directly.

"They attack humans to eat? If humans go extinct, won't they starve to death?" Zhou Yuan thinks there is a problem with this inference. Even though human life has seriously damaged the natural environment, they have been trying to maintain it as much as possible. The only thing is to maintain the food chain, who will kill all the food?

"...I think, this thing doesn't all live on human flesh, let's see what it is?"

Facing the living corpses that had already been tied up, Hong Tao had no scruples. Apart from observing, he also used a paratrooper knife to look through them.For example, cut the sleeves to see the color of the skin, and cut the waist to see the secrets of men.It turned out that a packet of biscuits was found in the jacket pocket, and I had opened the bag and eaten half of it.

"This is what it left before it mutated..." Zhou Yuan didn't believe it when she saw the biscuit as usual.

"It's unlikely. The biscuit is not broken, spoiled, or damp. It should have been opened recently. No matter, go back and hand it over to the researchers. You will soon know what it relies on to provide the energy your body needs. Think about it now." It's about the residence."

Regarding this question, Hong Tao is just guessing, without evidence, and doesn't want to be too arbitrary.And now is not the time to discuss scientific issues, why come so far?

"Hey, hey! Everyone slow down, don't run like crazy, we have to test the influence distance of living corpses on zombies on this section of the road, otherwise after entering a densely populated city, we will be besieged by zombies!"

In a blink of an eye, the convoy has approached the small town at the foot of the mountain. From the rearview mirror, you can still see zombies all over the mountains and plains. The number is more than what you can see in the drone footage. It is estimated that this living corpse killed the zombies in the nearby villages and towns. They were all summoned as subordinates.

Now the problem is coming, if you don't know how far it can control the zombies, then the convoy will always be in danger, and the further you go into the city, the more dangerous it will be.

It was about 15 kilometers from the small town at the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the highway. The convoy was driving at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and soon found that the zombies were no longer chasing them.In order to ensure that the data was normal, Hong Tao deliberately turned around and turned around twice. Every time he approached the range of 800 meters, the nearest zombies would respond.

After going back and forth like this, the living corpse woke up, struggled instinctively, and found that he couldn't escape, so he stared at Hong Tao's face with the eyes mostly occupied by the whites of the eyes. The needle-like pupils were enlarged many times, but still It's a little black dot.

Chapter 300 A Great Victory

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Hong Tao ordered the convoy to stop, and stopped on the road outside the town to be vigilant.Holding a dagger, he squatted in the rear compartment and began preliminary interrogation.

"..." The answer was naturally no, the living corpse opened its mouth to reveal two rows of blue teeth, and let out a ho-ho roar from its throat.

"I stab, I stab... oh, I'm not afraid of pain..." Hong Tao stabbed the living corpse's right leg wound with a dagger without hesitation.

The blood of the living corpses is no longer bright red, but a little purple, which matches their skin color better.At this time, the wound is no longer bleeding, which shows that this monster has a strong ability to stop bleeding and coagulate blood.Of course, Hong Tao didn't intend to do a scientific experiment, he was trying to extract a confession, but no matter how hard he stabbed him, he didn't see any painful expression from the living corpse.

Except for the guards, more than half of the secret service team surrounded the car, but no one was willing to approach.They were a little afraid of this half-human, half-zombie guy, and more of a shock.Especially after knowing that it eats human flesh, the disgust on its face grew stronger.

"Brother Hong, aren't you disgusting?" But people are so weird. They clearly know that the other party is a heinous alien who will kill him in minutes, but still can't bear to see such cruel torture methods. Some people start to sing the opposite tune, hoping that Hong Tao will stop Torture the living corpse.

"The ancients said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy..." Hong Tao moved the tip of the dagger to the eyeball of the living corpse again, making a gesture of piercing it, wanting to see if the thing has any sense of fear.Hearing the complaints from the team members, he knew that going on like this would not be good for his reputation, so he had no choice but to stop.But don't be confused, you must explain the principle clearly.

"Hey, here we go again... Changing of the guard, changing of the guard!" As soon as it started, the crowd outside the rear compartment dispersed.They would rather go to stand guard than listen to this chatty blind BB, it's too annoying.

"Come back, change the fart, three groups stand guard, and the first group and the second group cooperate with armored vehicles to clean up the zombies. Team leader Jiao and team leader Lan, you two go to discuss the specific details with leader Zhou. There is only one requirement, try to kill zombies, how many can you kill?" Whatever it is, but no guns!"

Dare to openly gather crowds and refuse to listen to your lectures, this kind of behavior will be punished by God!Now that the present report is here, we can't say that he has avenged his own personal revenge. The purpose of this trip is to occupy the garrison, and not to arrest living corpses.Now there are silly zombies everywhere at the foot of the mountain, on the slopes, and in the mountain roads, don't be idle, let's go!

"I give up command...Old Liang, Wang Jian, you two should cooperate with Team Leader Jiao and Team Leader Lan to clean up the zombies. Remember, learn more, read more, and talk less!"

When Zhou Yuan heard it, well, revenge is coming, it must not be a good job, so hurry up and slip away.But we can't just ignore it. In order to stay out of the matter, even the command of the armored vehicle was given up.

In fact, without Hong Tao's command, the secret service team and Zhou Yuan's subordinates were capable enough to deal with the zombie horde. They got together and discussed for a few minutes before starting to split up.

Jiao San drove the saber-toothed tiger to lure the zombies to chase along the road, while Lao Liang and Wang Jian drove the armored vehicles to meet each other head-on, smashing the zombies on the road to pieces.Randy was in charge of coordinating and commanding, relying on the guidance of drones, to tell Jiao San where the zombie swarms were the most and when the armored vehicles would attack with the greatest effect.

"The people under your command are quite decent, but the number is a little small." Seeing that the operation to clean up the zombies was going well, Zhou Yuan highly praised the work efficiency of the secret service team.

"I am their instructor and commander!" Hong Tao didn't like to hear these words, how could he only praise the soldiers but not the officers!

"Teach people to eat dead mice and put cockroaches on their bodies?" Zhou Yuan didn't intend to change her words, and presented evidence.

"If it continues like this, sooner or later you will eat it too. Look at it, you know it's an ambush, and the people in that truck just let it die. Given time, the future is limitless... Do you know how I feel?"

Talking about survival training with women is basically playing the piano to cows. Most of them don't care about reasoning when they hear the names of mice, snakes, and cockroaches.But Hong Tao didn't think his training method was too much, or even not enough.The reason is the living corpse lying in the back compartment staring at a pair of dead sheep eyes, trying to bite the climbing rope with his teeth.

"...they will become more and more intelligent?" Although Zhou Yuan had the courage to be with the living corpses, she didn't dare to stare at them, she glanced back and quickly avoided.

"I feel like they're all babies now, growing up every day!"

"Baby! Such a big baby?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but look back again, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't come to the conclusion of a baby.

"It's not the body, it's the brain... They are improving their intelligence at a very fast rate. The first living corpse I encountered would only hide in the zombie crowd for cover, and the second living corpse would bring thousands of zombies with it Survivors of the siege."

"Today this one is even stronger, it already has the ability to think logically, and it controls more zombies. Do you think it looks like a baby's growth process, just started babbling, then toddler, finally read and write, from pure imitation To think and practice for yourself.”

"Compared with human babies, they grow faster, and they have become like this in just eight months. There is no teacher, no master, how do they learn?"

When he remembered that the living corpse he had fought so hard was only at the kindergarten level, or elementary school level at most, Hong Tao became very irritable, or he was powerless.Reality has proved that the number of living corpses in the world is much more than previously estimated. Although it is not clear how they mutate, the trend is very obvious.

The intelligence of these guys is getting higher and higher as time goes by, and the growth rate is simply against the sky.In the near future, 100% living corpses will appear as cunning as humans, and maybe use tools.This is not a wild guess. Today, this living corpse can use a knife. Is it far from using a gun, driving a car, or flying an airplane?

If one day, a living corpse wearing body armor, holding an automatic rifle, and driving a tank appeared, I would not be particularly surprised.

Let your mind go a little further, will the living zombies teach the zombies how to use weapons?Can't say it's 100% impossible.Then there is the army of zombies armed to the teeth, dispatched together by sea, land and air, to strike the survivors three-dimensionally...

"...If you think too much, you will be troubled..." Zhou Yuan was silent. She understood, but she couldn't refute it, and she was helpless.

"Stupid young people are so much fun! Let's go, you're right, some questions can't be answered even if you think about it. It's better to do it than to sit and talk about it. We've also been there. Did you find out that there is killing in the depths of human nature genetics, killing is addictive."

Hong Tao is not a person who is too entangled, there is basically nothing in this world that he can't let go of.I will try my best to do things well within the scope of my ability, and I can only let it go if it is beyond this scope.

The killing operation against the zombie group lasted until the evening. At least two-thirds of the zombies were hit and crushed to death by armored vehicles, and the corpses covered the roads within a few kilometers around the town.

Burning is no longer necessary or capable. Anyway, according to Wang Heping, no animals, insects, or bacteria have been found willing to use zombie corpses as food. In the end, they are likely to be weathered and corroded, not rotted.

There are also thousands of zombies scattered in the nearby mountains. It is too troublesome to clean up, and it is getting dark. If you don't want to spend the night in the wild, you have to get the resident first.

"Comrade, I am the sergeant deputy platoon leader of the Army Aviation [-]th Brigade Independent Garrison Station Guard Company of the General XX Department, Yu Zhen! Who is in charge here?" According to the pre-arranged steps, Yu Zhen was the first to approach to see if he could If you can't get in touch with the soldiers in the station, the best policy is to surrender without fighting.

In order to enhance the effect, Yu Zhen did not approach the gate of the station alone, but Lao Liang drove an armored vehicle to go there.This looks more like an organized team, with other vehicles and personnel waiting hundreds of meters away.

“报告，我是XX军区预备役高炮师1团2营2连3排37毫米高炮班二炮手高玉柱……于排长，能不能让我看看您的证件？”

After shouting three or four times, no one answered from behind the iron gate.It went smoothly at the beginning, but the opponent's alertness did not disappear because of Yu Zhen's military rank, which seemed to mean that if you don't see a rabbit, you won't let an eagle go.

Chapter 301 The Fruit of Victory

"Reserve..." Hong Tao heard Yu Zhen's return through the earphones, and his face immediately collapsed.

I thought that setting up an army garrison would have a lot of benefits, at least all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment, maybe even tanks and cannons.As a result, it took a long time to work hard, and it was just a regiment headquarters for the reserve.

What is a reserve?It's just a little stronger than the militia, and they are all semi-full-time troops composed of retired officers and soldiers.There must be weapons, but they are 100% outdated, and they are only used for training and have no combat effectiveness.

"The reserve is also an army, and has participated in military exercises. When I came to condolences, I saw the cannons inside. There are several of them!"

Zhou Yuan is not very disappointed. For her, if the Survival Alliance has a gun and enough bullets, it will be happiness. If there are two more guns, it will be a fairy day.

"Is it anti-aircraft guns? That's right, anti-aircraft guns are also guns... I understand, they used anti-aircraft guns to deal with zombie attacks just now, and those holes on the iron gate were hit by armor-piercing shells!" Will there be cannons in the reserve anti-aircraft artillery division?must have!But it's not an ordinary cannon, it should be an anti-aircraft gun.

Hong Tao has seen and played this thing in Ukraine, ranging from small caliber to large caliber.It definitely can't be used as a howitzer. It is a cannon with a very flat trajectory. It is good for hitting armored targets. Long-range bombing is basically impossible.It's used to deal with zombies... Not to mention, it's really useful!

Relying on the rank of deputy platoon leader of the regular army and the rank of mid-level non-commissioned officer, Yu Zhen easily gained the trust of Gao Yuzhu and his companions, and entered the garrison smoothly.It took another 20 minutes to let the three reserve soldiers in the station fully understand the current domestic and foreign situation, and then they joined the rescue team logically.

In fact, these soldiers didn't want to stay here for a long time, but they really couldn't get out.The villages and towns below the mountain are full of zombies, all mobile phones and wired phones are cut off, and no one can be contacted.

Use the radio?Sorry, the officers and most of the soldiers in the station mutated in the middle of the night, desperately chasing the survivors down the mountain, and a few who could use the radio disappeared.

A few of them snatched three bicycles, and it was not difficult to get rid of the zombies. They wanted to call the small town down the mountain for help.The result can be imagined, he was chased by the zombies in the small town again, and after paying the price of one person, he had to run back to the mountain again.

There were zombies inside the camp, and there were zombies at the foot of the mountain. The only five people left thought about it and spent a full day and a half on the mountainside before they finally figured out some problems.For example, zombies and the end of the world, I think it is better to go back to the garrison to have a look. After all, there are weapons and food there, which is safer than fleeing through villages and towns.

Fortunately, most of the zombies in the camp had left the camp because they were chasing the survivors.The five of them climbed over the wall and entered from the side, and they took care of the few remaining zombies without much effort. After closing the gate, they were basically safe.

But no one knows how to use the radio, and even broke the generator, so he can only live on the food in a temporary warehouse and the spring water on the back mountain, hoping for someone to rescue him every day.

Can't wait, can't wait, finally someone can't wait anymore. Reserve soldiers don't have military ranks, and none of the five survivors has a position, and no one can convince the crowd to take command.One of them rushed out by car, wanting to go home and have a look before going to the local armed forces.

No one knows whether he returned home or found the local department. Anyway, he never came back after he went out.However, his actions produced a good result. All the zombies on the mountain road were led to the mountainside, and the area around the station became very quiet and relatively safer.

Inspired by this, the people in the station took turns to drive out, gradually leading the zombies to the vicinity of the town at the foot of the mountain, and boldly went to the town and the villages in the valley to have a look. In addition to saving a local villager, Nothing to gain, zombies everywhere.

"The truck outside is also your people?" Hong Tao didn't dare to enter the garrison rashly, and asked Yu Zhen to bring out the three soldiers, intending to ask the situation first, and then analyze it logically, and then enter after confirming that there is no problem.

"He is a villager in the village on the west side. He was rescued by us and can play with generators. The generator broke down the day before yesterday. He planned to go back to the village this morning to find accessories, but he was surrounded by zombies not far away. Those monsters are like It came out suddenly from the ground, and it just blocked the truck and couldn't move it, it was terrible!"

Gao Yuzhu's personality is relatively outgoing, he is the oldest and most courageous, and he has always been the one who negotiates with foreign countries. The other two younger soldiers are still immersed in the emotions of being besieged by zombies and living and dying. boring.

"Come on, come with me... Do you know it?" Hong Tao suddenly remembered that the living corpse in the car was also wearing a military uniform, which was very similar to Gao Yuzhu's.

"This, this is..." Suddenly seeing the half-human, half-ghost living corpse, Gao Yuzhu stuttered a little in fright, and didn't even dare to lean over to take a closer look.

"I found it in its pocket, do you recognize it?" Hong Tao picked up a plastic bag from the compartment and pointed to the cell phone and key chain inside.

"It belongs to Xiao Liu. There is a triangular scar on his forehead, which was left during training..." Now Gao Yuzhu stopped stammering, and kept saying that he knew these two items, and then thought of the one who was tied into rice dumplings in the carriage. bit.

"I'll explain things about it later, let's go inside and have a look!" Hong Tao is basically sure that this living corpse is the Xiao Liu that Gao Yuzhu said, that is, the one who drove the truck home to have a look. Reserve soldiers.

It looked like he was bitten by a zombie on the way, but for some reason, he didn't mutate into a zombie, but became like this.However, judging from the analysis of its return to the station with the zombies, the living corpses probably still have some human memories.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how it knew there were survivors here.The station is six or seven kilometers away from the town, and it is still a mountain road. The living corpses should not be able to sense the presence of humans from such a long distance.

This garrison is not as ordinary as it looks on the outside. The iron gate and the wall are just a corner of it. The space in the yard is quite large. On the west side are seven or eight barracks connected together, and on the north side there is a two-story building .

According to Gao Yuzhu, the barracks are their dormitories, and reserve soldiers from many nearby units take turns to come here for training for a period of time every year.The first floor of the small building is the officer's dormitory, which is relatively fixed, and most of them have been here for several years.

The second floor of the small building is also a dormitory for officers, but they have never participated in training, nor are they instructors, and they don't even communicate with the soldiers who come to train, and he doesn't know why.

There is another thing that he doesn't know. There is a wall behind the small building, but it is not made of stones, but reinforced concrete, which is trapezoidal. The security door was locked with thick iron chains.

I searched all the rooms on the second floor, but couldn't find the key to open the lock.It didn't matter, the secret service team brought electric drills and gas welding. If it wasn't for the goodwill of the three new soldiers, so as not to look like bandits, Hong Tao wouldn't waste time looking for the keys at all.

"Is this an anti-aircraft gun?" The task of unlocking the lock was given to Randy, and Hong Tao turned back to the yard and walked to the flat double-barreled cannon.There are two circular forts with a height of more than half a meter in the courtyard, and the other one has the same cannon, but the barrel is pointed high into the sky.

"This is a 37mm twin-link anti-aircraft gun. I am the second gunner! If it weren't for it and dozens of boxes of training ammunition, the three of us would have gone to see Hades early in the morning. Chief Hong, although you are not a soldier, please accept our Thank you so much, Xiao Wang, Xiao Yang, salute!"

Patting the thick cannon barrel, Gao Yuzhu recalled the fierce battle a few hours ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched.It was not clear why those zombies ran away suddenly, but now I understand that it was not that the zombies were scared of being beaten, but that reinforcements came.This is a life-saving grace, and in front of him is the leader for a long time in the future, and he cannot be owed in terms of etiquette.

"Thanks are due, not only me but also them, everyone risked their lives and no one retreated. But this is not the end, but the beginning! The battle against zombies is long and arduous. I hope you can carry forward today's death battle in the future. With an unrelenting spirit, contribute to saving more compatriots!"

Hong Tao didn't stop him, and accepted the salute from the three reserve soldiers with a smile, and then changed the subject, using the fort as a podium, and started working as an instructor.What Zhou Yuan said was right. The common people might not like it, but the soldiers should be more familiar with it and agree with it more easily.

Chapter 302 Windfall

"Down with the zombies! Save all mankind..." The little uncle once said that a good big fool must have at least one very tacit partner by his side.Now Jiao San is playing this role, as soon as he swung his right hand out, he started with a loud voice.

The other members of the secret service team took the lead in shouting slogans when they saw the deputy team leader, and they could only follow suit even if they were not used to it.Shouting and shouting, I got involved, and the atmosphere became lively.In a suitable atmosphere, people will be fanatical. This is an eternal truth, and it can be tried and tested.

In this atmosphere, when they asked to go to the back yard to have a look, the doubts of the three soldiers were minimized. For example, provide as much information as possible about the door behind.

It's a pity that they really don't know what that door is. It's a restricted area. The soldiers who came to train were told not to approach it. Why?There is no reason in the army, you have to do what you are asked to do, and you are not allowed to ask a word.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is any information or not. Randy has already unlocked the door, and then stood in the distance winking at Hong Tao, with a nervous, excited and sneaky expression.

"I fuck..."

"this is not……"

"Well, it's well maintained... Pay attention to discipline, those who should stand guard, those who should cook, what do you look like, you are already a disciplined force, don't make a fuss like ordinary people anymore! Put the backup power generator in our car Bring the machine in and restore the lighting as soon as possible..."

When a big iron guy in camouflage was partially outlined by the flashlight, there was a sudden noise in the crowd.Hong Tao quickly turned around and raised his arms, suppressing the voice, followed by a criticism, and dispersed the crowd following behind him.

"San'er, bring the demolition tools. Leader Zhou, let's go in and have a look... Randy, you guard this place, no one is allowed to enter!"

In fact, Hong Tao himself was also very happy. Although the color of the big iron guy is slightly different, just look at the weapons on it, even if they are all covered with guns, you can be 100% sure that it is a quadruple 25mm The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is basically the same as the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that drove back from Sanjianfang Airport!

With the same type of self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, is the anti-aircraft shell of the appropriate caliber still far away?This is not an aviation school, but a military base anyway, even the training bombs used by Gao Yuzhu and the others are quite powerful.
