Shashi is located in the Eastern Province of the Central Plains War Zone. The nearest military region is the Nanqi Military Region, located in Nanqi City, the provincial capital. Other military regions are thousands of kilometers away and will certainly not be the leaders of this airdrop operation in Shashi.
However, the various types of equipment in the airdrop were of mixed models and the years of service were also very different. I really don’t know which grandpa’s weapons arsenal was emptied by the Southern Qi Military Region.
But having said that, I don’t know if such large-scale equipment deployment is also happening in other places. If it were really a nationwide operation, it would be a big deal!
Regardless of wear and tear, the military unconventionally packed many different types of firearms into such a small box. Although most of the firearms are old and in poor condition, their success in quantity is enough to show the sincerity of the military.
The firearms in the weapon box have been assembled, and there are even traces of oiling and cleaning. This shows that they have fully considered the objective fact that most ordinary people cannot disassemble and reassemble guns.
In the end of the world, order collapses and the proliferation of guns will inevitably bring greater chaos. But the military is still willing to do this. Could it be that it has foreseen the tragic end of the world in the near future?
In the early stages of the cataclysm, when zombies were rampant and mutated beasts evolved drastically, low-level evolvers without hot weapons were simply vulnerable. If they were willing to take such risks or bear possible charges in order to preserve more fire for mankind, then Lang Hua would have to admire the courage of these people.
After all, if he were put in that position, whether he would make a decisive strategic decision just because of a "prophecy post" is another matter.
Lang Hua thought like this and casually threw a branch into the fire in front of him.
The fire instantly engulfed the branches, and the sparks splashed by the impact flew high with the heat wave, reflecting into his eyes and forming fleeting red light spots one after another.
…
It has been two days since I got the airdrop. In the past two days, the team of survivors returned the same way, once again passing through the vast and sparsely populated suburban areas without any danger, and were now only one step away from leaving the boundaries of Shashi.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to enter the Fengwei Mountain jungle southwest of Shashi at the earliest tomorrow evening.
However, walking through the jungle at night in the apocalypse is something only fools would do. According to Lang Hua's plan, it is best for the survivor team to set off in the morning and go deep into the jungle so that they can reach the base before evening.
This is a factory area that was abandoned as early as 70 years ago during the "Reforestation Movement". After foreign companies withdrew their investment, it became even more deserted. Now it is full of weeds.
After the team collected the crystal cores two days ago, they came here with the looted weapons and equipment. After arriving in the suburbs, it is easy to find yourself without a village or shop. But camping in the wild is always more dangerous, so the abandoned factory area in front of us became the best choice of last resort.
It was already evening, and people gathered in the central warehouse of the abandoned factory building to cook and rest. The evolvers did not have extra time and energy to check whether there were still a few scattered black corpses hidden in other places. So they will rest directly here in the warehouse after their meal.
The weather in early winter is already chilly, and the people fleeing are short of bedding. The best way is to light multiple bonfires like now, and gather around the fire in groups to keep warm. I don’t know what was stored in the warehouse here. The roof is very high and the space is extremely spacious. People can’t help but sit together and chat quietly with acquaintances.
After receiving the order to start cooking, the survivors did not dare to go far and picked up some branches and dead grass nearby. The water in the cooking pots of different sizes and sizes was boiling quickly, and the canned food was churning and releasing aromas. Yang Xiaoxiao was coaxed by Yang Bensheng to become a guard before midnight when she was hungry, and she was inevitably dissatisfied. Also serving as a guard was Zhou Jin, which made her even more unhappy.
There will be other people on duty in the second half of the night. After everyone goes to sleep, they will stand guard at the door of the warehouse, alert to possible changes in the surroundings.
"Damn black boy, I'll see if I don't beat you up next time." Yang Xiaoxiao angrily pointed at Ruolanhua and kneaded a blade of grass, as if there was someone with "immortal hatred" between those two fingers. people.
Being guarded in the first half of the night means that you can sleep peacefully and undisturbed in the second half of the night. But Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to have deliberately ignored this point, insisting on blaming Duan Hei's last leak of information for the sin of starvation.
"Why is it unladylike to steal ham from other people's bowls? No matter what, you have to let people eat! If I had done this too late, the hot pot meatballs that I miss so much would have been taken away."
"You brat who can kill a thousand swords, I'll eat you. Crunch, crunch..." As she said that, she threw the blade of grass in her hand into her mouth and started chewing.
The expression was as ferocious as the grinning tiger in the zoo. Only when passing by Zhou Jin, Yang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and spit out the chewed grass blades on the ground.
"It's so chewy." Yang Xiaoxiao said loudly, "Bah, what the hell!"
…
Section 2 Dissension
As the saying goes, if you have a gun in your hand, the people will not panic. Although the bullets used on the black corpses have limited effect, under the catalysis of hot rice and wine, even the escape team can't help but slowly liven up the atmosphere.
"Brother Sun, your wine is pretty good. Where did you get it?"
"Nonsense, of course it's good wine. Before I left, I turned over that 'Coast BAR' and found these private goods."
The smug man in front of him is Sun Gui, one of the four newly awakened ability users among the rooftop survivors. He possesses the power of "immovable as a mountain" and lacks attack methods, but his defense power is really good.
"What? You don't think I'm worthy of these fine wines?" Sun Gui held the wine glass and stared at the people around him, his eyes flickering as the flames flickered and seemed to have a sharp edge.
"Hey, Brother Sun, look at what you said." The thin man beside him smiled, "This wine is worth it if you can bring it out. We have all heard that your 'immovable as a mountain' is even Chen Chong can't even take it down. From now on, my brothers will have to rely on you to take care of them."
Another person also quickly downplayed and flattered: "Yang Qinghua, that girl should have brought you good wine a long time ago. She didn't bring it out until just before leaving. She really has no vision. We brothers should tell you that you don't deserve this good wine." Then who else..."
After awakening his ability, Sun Gui tried it with Chen Chong in private. But it was one thing that Chen Chong couldn't hurt him, but he also couldn't do anything to him. A "hard-shell turtle" being beaten passively didn't sound good, so Sun Gui suddenly felt his face getting hot.
He chewed a bite of green vegetables and interrupted: "You are wrong about that. I didn't use that bitch as a guide. Besides, I, a powerful person with abilities, want her to agree to something? It's a joke."
"Yes, yes, brother Sun is unparalleled in ability. Given time, he will definitely be able to..."
"Ahem." Sensing someone approaching, Sun Gui hurriedly motioned to the people around him to shut up.
"Boss Sun, do you mind if I sit down and have a drink?" The person who came was Lao Zhao, who looked smiling.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you can sit down if you want." Sun Gui shrugged.
After the night of the awakening in the bar, the survivors on the rooftop had vaguely divided into several small groups. They usually spread out to cook and rest without speaking to each other. Among the four, except for Wang Ming, who was cowardly and taciturn, the other three had several flatterers behind them. Among them, Chen Chong has the most "little brothers", followed by Sun Gui, and then Lao Zhao. However, Lao Zhao has been very close to Zhou Jin recently, so Sun Gui has to be concerned.
Lao Zhao is thin but has a good tongue. Sun Gui and the others quickly became familiar with each other as they exchanged cups.
"Boss Sun's 'Unmoving as a Mountain' is indeed amazing. The black corpse yesterday seemed to be tickling you." Old Zhao clinked glasses with Sun Gui frequently, "You really hide your secrets."
"No," Sun Gui said sheepishly, "Brother Zhao's 'reinforcement' is not weak either. After hardening, his fists are comparable to gold and stone. A pair of iron fists is far better than ordinary weapons. The black corpse is no match for you."
"Haha, you're welcome, brother. From now on, we are on the same team and we have to support each other."
"Hehehe." Sun Guiqian smiled, "Definitely."
As they talked, the conversation inevitably turned to Lang Hua.
"When the petrochemical plant exploded, we were caught in a wave of corpses. There were wolves in front of us and tigers behind us, and we couldn't move forward or retreat. I almost thought I was going to die there." Lao Zhao put down his wine glass and said with lingering fear.
"No," Sun Gui said with a look of reminiscence, "At that time, Lang Hua and Dr. Zhou were at the front of the team and looked like gods. I thought at that time, if I could become that kind of role, then I still have to worry about whether I can see the sun the next day every day..."
"But, as time goes by, hehe." Sun Gui put down his wine glass and said no more.
"Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river." Old Zhao Shen thought he was right, "Brother Sun is extremely talented, so naturally he is no worse than anyone else."
"polite……"
Sun Gui picked up the glass and was about to drink again, but unexpectedly, Lao Zhao suddenly changed the subject and gave up the idea of continuing to drink.
Lao Zhao suddenly said leisurely: "But... compared to Lang Hua, Brother Sun is probably not as good at it."
"Ability awakenings are also done on a first-come, first-served basis." Old Zhao smacked his lips and explained, "He always has a few more days to eat than us."
"So what?" Sun Gui became angry for some reason, "His evolutionary ability is so powerful, why doesn't he save more people? Isn't he afraid of death and selfish?"
"Perhaps it's because of my limited ability that I can't take it into consideration?" Lao Zhao asked tentatively.
"Bullshit! What does a little black corpse mean to a person with abilities?" Sun Gui said arrogantly, but his expression gradually became complacent, "Oh, it's a pity that I was not a person with abilities at the time, otherwise those S1 and P1 would be nothing to me. Shit. Even if I stand there and don’t understand, those monkey paws are just tickling me.”
"Then why didn't he save more people?" When the two said this, even the evolver next to them was confused.
"Hey, why?" Sun Gui heard Jie Jie's weird smile, "Maybe it was Lang Hua who did it on purpose. After all, there are a lot of crystal nuclei. If there are too many people who survive, how can there be enough points?"
"Shh, Brother Sun, please keep your voice down." The short evolutionary man said in panic, "It would be terrible if he hears it."
This man glanced at Lao Zhao several times out of the corner of his eye, as if he was remembering the time when he was almost killed.
Lao Zhao noticed this man's little movements, and his face turned a little dark.
At this time, Sun Gui raised his arm and patted the two of them on the shoulders with great loyalty: "What are you afraid of? Do you dare to do it but don't want others to tell you? We are also capable people now, no less than him!"
Only then did Lao Zhao's expression soften.
"But it's the crystal core that Lang Hua gave us." The evolver still hesitated.
Sun Gui's face suddenly darkened.
This man is really ignorant of current affairs. He has said this twice, but he still fails him again and again. Now Sun Gui is thinking about killing this man with his own hands!
He immediately said angrily: "What kind of sharing? I have a share in this. I also broke out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
But he may have forgotten that he did break out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but he "broke out" with his head covered, or rather... escaped. When a zombie wave ravaged the pedestrian street, Sun Gui never made any gains except for killing two black corpses with the strong firepower of thermal weapons at the beginning.
In that kind of dangerous situation, the warrior will only die faster.
This was indeed the case. Most of the people who rose up to resist died. On the contrary, people like him who scurried around under the shadow of the people with abilities survived.
At that time, Sun Gui even lost the gun in his hand. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to awaken his abilities later on, otherwise he might have turned back into that unarmed little guy who was ready to be killed.
This was the fact, but Sun Gui didn't blush at all.
Under the influence of alcohol, he even expressed his innermost thoughts: "What's wrong? In the last days, we should share. Our ancestors have said that we should help each other. Where is the conscience of those who don't help their compatriots? I It should be divided equally to be really fair. What does it mean if you hold the big head? Lang Hua must have better potions and better equipment in his hands. Why not share them? Damn, I really don’t have any collective ideas! "
"Hard-shelled bastard," suddenly a voice shouted, "What did you just say?"
"Who! Who is talking?" Sun Gui suddenly trembled in confusion, "Yang Xiaoxiao, it's you!"
He thought unhappily: "Damn it, how could this little devil hear it?"
However, Sun Gui refused to show any timidity: "What's wrong? What happened to what I said? Is it illegal?"
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth", Yang Xiaoxiao pulled out the wolf fang dagger from her waist, "I think your skin is itchy!"
"Bitch girl," Sun Gui blushed and said in a low voice, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
In the blink of an eye, Sun Gui's eyes turned crimson, and the ground around him trembled slightly, which was a sign that the earth element ability was about to be activated!
At this time, Lao Zhao unexpectedly held his shoulder.
"Brother Sun, don't be impulsive." Old Zhao winked to the side, "Don't hurt your harmony."
Sun Gui looked along his line of sight and saw that Lin Wenjin and his daughter had stood up and looked over, and most of the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished.
Lan Xi, who was standing closest, had quietly stood over with a sword in his hand. Although Zhou Jin was close to them, he seemed to turn a deaf ear and showed no reaction.
But Yang Xiaoxiao didn't know everything that happened behind the scenes.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again," Yang Xiaoxiao grinned, revealing two sharp fangs, and said coldly to Sun Gui, "Be careful, I will chop you up alive!"
"you!"
Sun Gui felt a suffocation in his chest. He felt like stars were popping up in his eyes, and he almost suffocated himself to death.
…
The bright area composed of bonfires is actually very small compared to the huge warehouse. Where the crowd gathered, the orange-red flames flickered, flickered and dimmed, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding darkness.
At this moment, Zhenglanghua was sitting alone by the bonfire in the corner, thinking about something. I wonder if he heard these gossips.
