Chapter 5

A lot of steam sprayed into the air, and the rusty gears made a sour sound. God knows how many days the gate of the base has not been opened. The half meter thick alloy door first shrinks inward and then opens from it, revealing the serrated door gap. The bottom wheel rubbed the rusty track on the ground, and the violent friction shook the rock powder on the door constantly falling, like a gray rain.

An old-fashioned cross-country combat vehicle of the old era drove out. The modified vehicle set up a powerful heavy machine gun in the back seat, with a range of up to kilometers and a combat firing rate of up to 300 rounds per minute. Its excellent suppression ability and destructiveness make this chariot the most powerful war weapon of z7 base.

Now, the chariot has to drive to Yinshu City 300 kilometers away to bring back enough medicine for the base.

The clear sky is like washing.

But this is not good weather. On the contrary, without the barrier of clouds, the sun with strong ultraviolet rays is baking the whole earth. Although the radiation level on the ground is not as high as that on the day of catastrophe, no one wants to be exposed to the surface in broad daylight. Although the off-road combat vehicle has fierce firepower, it does not have a good anti radiation system. Compared with this old era combat vehicle, the fully covered armored combat vehicle pursued by major companies and chaebols is more suitable for daytime operation than this old combat vehicle because it adopts the newly developed anti radiation armor plate.

Naturally, the z7 base can't afford armored combat vehicles, even the oldest models.

For several people on mission, night is a more suitable time for action. But the living dead wandering in the silver tree city gave up their thoughts.

The living dead are also called living corpses. These human monsters infected by viruses are very different from the zombies often appeared in novels in the old times. The living corpse has a sensitive sense of smell for fresh blood. The strength and flexibility of their muscles enable the living corpse to have more powerful strength and speed than ordinary people. They are flexible and agile. They can even climb up windows and ceilings easily. They can tear an adult man with their bare hands. They are very tricky monsters.

The living corpse is a social monster. They usually wander in the ruins of the city together, eat up all the living people and animals, and then migrate to other areas.

There was no living thing in Yinshu City, but there were still a few living corpses there. The corpses left in the city are some years old. Although they can still move, their strength and speed have greatly degraded. Nevertheless, they are still rivals that cannot be despised.

The living corpses move at night. They are afraid of the sun and all bright things. Therefore, during the day, the living corpses basically sleep in the shadow of the ruins. This is also the reason why the base chose to operate during the day. At night, the risk of the mission will double.

Zero sat in the back compartment with four other soldiers.

These people are not the soldiers who saw in old Jack's room in the morning. Their soldiers have a stronger breath and better equipment than those people. At least they don't carry rifles, but standard automatic machine guns. This machine gun is not powerful, but it can be fired continuously. Therefore, the firepower network can not be underestimated.

Rihout was driving and cursed old Jack for letting him take part in the dangerous mission. He had made up his mind to pretend to be ill, but old Jack asked him to join the team of the mission.

"Our base doesn't accept patients. Holt, if you are too ill to go out of the mission, then I can only throw you out of the base." old Jack said when he heard that Holt shirked the mission on the pretext of illness.

Being abandoned by the base means that you have to face endless dangers in the wilderness alone and can't get any material assistance, which is no different from suicide.

Old Jack always said and did it. Holt never doubted it, so the black man immediately made a wise choice.

"Don't complain, Holt. If you come back this time, the reward will be enough for you to find the most beautiful woman in the settlement and sleep for ten nights. Be content."

A middle-aged soldier with a cigarette in his mouth and a scar on his right eye laughed.

"Shut up, Zog. I'm not a soldier like you. I'm just miss LIA's bodyguard. Why should I take part in such a dangerous mission with you old ghosts?" Holt slapped the steering wheel and foamed.

The four soldiers burst into laughter.

Zog looked at the silent zero and said, "if you're a rookie, we still have one here. Hey, yellow man, I heard you're a survivor. Don't you want to introduce yourself?"

Zero didn't answer. A young soldier sitting opposite him said, "I also heard that you have a wonderful eye. Let's have a look. Don't hide like a woman."

His words were immediately approved by the other two soldiers, but he turned a deaf ear and remained unmoved.

The soldier was impatient and reached out to catch the tan goggle worn by zero on his face. This was what he received from hotter before his mission. Zero wanted a pair of sunglasses, but it was the only thing for blacks. What I received with the goggle was a refined steel dagger in addition to two boxes of magazine clips.

Now, the dagger suddenly came into zero's hand. There was a cold light, and the tip of the dagger pointed up at the soldier's throat. If he goes any further, the sharp dagger will make a hole in his neck.

The soldier stopped.

In addition to Zuoge, the other two men angrily scolded and raised their guns to zero, causing chaos in the car.

"Shit!" hotter didn't expect this to happen. He quickly stopped the car to avoid bumps and unnecessary variables.

Zero didn't look. He was pointing to his two gun barrels. His eyes under the eye shield stared at the soldier who began to sweat because of tension. He said faintly: "I don't want to make trouble, but when trouble comes to the door, I don't mind solving it."

"Put down the dagger, I said put it down, or I'll shoot!"

The other two soldiers shouted as their fingers began to move closer to the trigger.

"Stop it all!" Zuoge, who had not said a word, shouted violently, "Carl, Tony, put away the gun for me."

He looked at zero again: "and you, yellow man, your dagger should point to monsters or enemies, not companions!"

Zero looked at him and slowly took back the dagger: "I'm just on a mission with you. As for my companions, I shouldn't talk about it. At least, I can't see any tacit understanding between us."

Seeing that zero took back the dagger, the other two soldiers put down their guns. The young soldier pointed by the pocket dagger almost collapsed and sat down on the parking space.

Zog looked at zero, shook his head and said, "I know you don't trust us. Similarly, we can't completely trust you. But Sir, this dangerous world can't survive alone. In order to survive, you have to trust others behind your back more often."

"I... Try my best." zero made the greatest commitment.

The chariot moved on.

In the car, Zog took the initiative to introduce his team. Zog himself is a veteran and the commander of the mission. The two men who raised their guns just now, Carl and Tony, were firemen. They were responsible for fire suppression. As for the young man who just ignored zero, the soldier named Allen was a sniper. Finally, the black Holt, first of all, is Leah's bodyguard. He plays well with pistols. At the same time, he is also a blasting expert, which is beyond expectation.

"Zero is good at close combat and long-range fire support. He is also involved in reconnaissance, tracking and traps." zero briefly introduced his specialty.

Zog nodded. Although he is a survivor, he is an ordinary person without any evolutionary point. But judging from the way he subdued Allen just now, this man should be a skilled veteran. Zog believes in his judgment and understands why old Jack asked a new man to participate in this task.

This is a test for zero. It is old Jack who judges whether zero is qualified to stay in the base. In old Jack's words, the base doesn't keep idle people.

No words all the way, zero sum team still needs to run in. But this kind of running in is not suitable for fighting in conversation. It can accelerate this kind of running in.

Just as Yinshu city was in sight, a group of people were moving in front of the chariot and on the left side of the road.

Zero hides in the right eye behind the eye shield. After sending a command from deep consciousness, the sight distance is approached immediately. So he clearly saw a dozen ragged men taking turns to enjoy a woman's body. Among the crowd, the excited roar of men and the shrill cry of women were mixed together, which was particularly harsh on the silent road.

Obviously, this unbearable behavior touched the zero moral bottom line. Subconsciously, his hand gripped the micro machine gun placed next to him.

"Don't worry about them, and you can't worry about such things." Zog's eyes just caught zero subtle movements. The captain said carelessly: "The world is very different from the old times. There is no law to follow in the wilderness. Whoever has a hard fist is the law. Things like this often happen in the wilderness, and there are more heinous things you haven't seen. So you don't have to pay attention to it or control it, unless you think you are God, hey."

Holding the finger of the machine gun, he gradually let go. Zero felt at a loss. His world outlook still remained on the cognition of the old era. It was difficult to adapt to the fact that the world had become chaotic in a short time.

This is an age of jungle. Zero sighed in his heart.

The cross-country fighting vehicle soon passed by the mob. A man who had just been satisfied with the woman's body fell on the fighting vehicle passing by the roadside. He immediately shouted, picked up an old pistol from the ground and fired at the fighting vehicle.
