Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

In a public hospital two kilometers away from the health center, a Self-Defense Force of 30 people was carrying out a clearing operation. This team had just returned from the first round of clearing missions in the shantytowns yesterday. In fact, ever since the two teams that were sent out disappeared in the shantytowns, the top management of the base began to notice that something might have happened in the shantytowns, otherwise the messages that the two teams sent out would have sent back were words like "danger" and "there are monsters".

What's even more terrifying is that the magnetic field disturbance occurred in the shantytown at some point in time, and it was extremely difficult to connect to the telephone or the Internet. Even the satellite phone was frequently interfered with by some unknown thing. The only thing that could be used was the wireless walkie-talkie, but the communication range of the walkie-talkie was greatly reduced in the icy weather, and the effective distance was reduced from five kilometers to three kilometers. Therefore, the team responding outside finally received only the short words mentioned earlier.

Today, this small team in the public hospital is composed of the most capable members selected from the Security Bureau. Each of them is strong enough to join the guard team. The highest level of the team leader has reached level A, and the lowest level of the communicator is level C. It is precisely because of their strong strength and certain combat experience that they were able to escape from the shantytown unscathed yesterday.

"Captain, two snow apes ran into the hospital, and there are probably more than thirty more outside the hospital." After about a minute of mental perception, the B-level psychic member immediately made a conclusion about the mutant beasts lurking nearby.

"How far are we inside the hospital?" Team leader Cheng Xun pursed his dry lips and glanced at the time on his watch.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and the sun would set in about an hour. By then, it would be even more difficult to identify this new mutant beast, the snow ape, in the snow.

"On the third floor, the first one is on the left side of the third floor, and the second one is in the middle, no more than a hundred meters away from us." The psychiatric team member answered quickly.

Cheng Xun nodded and gave instructions into the wireless intercom: "Divide into two teams according to the previous division. Group A will stay on the second floor, and Group B will go to the third floor with me to eliminate the target."

"Order received." The other team members responded through the earphones, and everyone prepared their guns. Although they were all psychics, thermal weapons were the most direct and common means of counterattack when facing monsters. After all, the use of superpowers was closely related to the psychic's own superpower level. The higher the level of the psychic, the faster they could use their superpowers. However, if a psychic whose superpower level was not so outstanding had thermal weapons in his hands, he could counterattack instantly.

Cheng Xun led the members of Group B to the second floor quickly. In the darkness, only the lights on the helmets could temporarily provide some light, but it was only a limited part. The entire hospital was still in darkness.

The hospital began to be evacuated and blocked yesterday. The hospital can no longer accommodate more patients due to the heavy snow. The power lines of the hospital were damaged from the outside, causing the entire hospital to be paralyzed. The power company has been repairing for twelve hours but still cannot completely restore the power supply. The external power lines were gnawed into pieces by something. Therefore, the Self-Defense Force originally stationed at the hospital were temporarily transferred back to the headquarters to await reallocation.

As soon as Team B arrived on the second floor, they heard a "hissing" sound coming from upstairs. This was because the hospital was very quiet and limited vision often magnified other human senses, such as hearing.

Cheng Xun made a gesture, and the moment he turned off the light on his helmet, the team members behind him also turned off their own lighting equipment.

The dark corridor was so quiet at this moment that the only sounds were each other's breathing and that increasingly creepy "hissing" sound.

Cheng Xun himself is an A-level psychic. After reaching the third floor, he quickly determined the specific location of the snow apes. He stretched out his finger and made another gesture, and the two members behind him immediately jumped out and fired towards the front.

Only a sharp cry of fear was heard, but that sound did not last long, because a snow ape had been shot and fell in a pool of blood, and the other one that rushed out of the darkness was promptly pierced through the chest by the sharp metal knife from Chengxun's alienation.

"Team B has completed its mission here, what's the situation with Team A?"

"Report, no snow apes were found on the first and second floors. Preliminary inference is that snow apes cannot enter through the main door." A low voice of the team member came from the earphone.

Cheng Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of today's mission and said, "Group A will go to the third floor to meet up. Our goal this time is to deliver the medicine in the freezer to the research institute.

"Group A received this. Lead the team to the third floor immediately." The voice of the leader of Group A came from the earphone.

The two teams went to the third floor separately. Just as they were about to gather, a strong stench suddenly filled the air.

One of the players in Group B suddenly stared at a certain place with his eyes wide open, then patted the shoulder of a player in front of him. After his teammate turned around, he pointed his finger forward.

The teammates followed the direction of the finger and found a rotting corpse on a table about three or four meters away.

What's strange is that in such an extremely cold environment, the corpse should not have any signs of decay, but the stench did spread from here.

Several team members immediately realized that something was wrong, so they stopped and walked to the decayed body. They saw that it was a body that had been gnawed to the point that only a part of the torso remained. And judging from the body shape and height, it should be an adult male.

"This isn't normal. In this kind of weather, corpses shouldn't rot." There was a slight tremor in the team member's voice, because they had never encountered such a situation in all these long years of missions. Although they had dealt with many people who died of extreme cold or some vicious incidents, the corpses would be frozen stiff after 24 hours, and even a thin layer of frost would condense on the bodies.

"There are traces of gnawing near the wound. The preliminary judgment is that it was bitten by those things. As for why the body is decayed, there is another possibility." Another team member is a little older and was originally transferred from another department. He has carried out many confidential missions in private, so he has a different opinion on the current situation.

"What possibilities?" the young team member asked curiously.

"This body was dragged here from somewhere else, and that place should be relatively warmer and more humid than here."

The young team member asked in surprise: "Somewhere else? Is there any place warmer than here? Isn't it said that snow apes like cold places? If the snow apes put the body here, what is this operation?"

"Let's not try to figure it out now if we can't figure it out. The mutant monsters think differently from us, so there's no need to understand. But we still have to report this matter to the captain. This is the first time we've seen snow apes eat people. Previously, they mostly killed their prey by brutalizing them. Something's not right now, so we have to be careful." The older team member's eyes showed some vigilance.

The young team members nodded, but for the time being they continued to move forward according to Cheng Xun's arrangements.

The psychic in the team suddenly stopped, his finger on the trigger tighter, "Captain, the target is behind the front gate. One of them is not in a good mental state and is very excited. It may attack us at any time."

Cheng Xun raised his hand and made a secret gesture that only their team usually used. In an instant, the team formed a defensive formation. Everyone's guns were loaded, and they would open fire immediately if there was any emergency.

This is an experienced Self-Defense Force, and its combat capability is actually comparable to that of some Guard units. However, because the Self-Defense Force and the Guard are currently operating in a dual capacity, the two forces restrain each other while maintaining a certain balance.

Before becoming the captain of this team, Cheng Xun was a special police officer. In addition, he awakened his supernatural powers after the apocalypse, and soon became a core backbone after joining the Self-Defense Forces.

As two of the team members suddenly kicked open the iron door in front of them, a sharp "hissing" sound was heard in the dark room, and then two snow apes covered with white hair appeared in everyone's sight.

The two snow apes were so fast, almost like white lightning, they jumped from one end of the room to the other in an instant.

Fortunately, all the members of the Self-Defense Force were wearing night vision goggles, so they could clearly see the position of the snow apes. Cheng Xun was the first to point his gun at one of the snow apes.

It only took a split second for one of the snow apes to let out a sharp scream and tried to break out through the window, but another member of the metal team was faster. He used some metal utensils in the room to immediately transform them into a golden water knife, and the sharp blade instantly pierced the snow ape's neck.

This elite Self-Defense Force team successfully dealt with the two snow monkeys in the hospital in less than ten minutes.

Two snow apes were lying on the ground at this time. One of them had not yet died completely and was still lying on the ground gasping for breath.

"Why is it so smelly?" One of the Self-Defense Force members stared in disbelief at the liquid flowing out of the snow ape's wound. The stinking smell was from the blood flowing from the snow ape. What was incompatible with humans was that the blood was dark red, similar to rust, and was even very sticky.

"There's something wrong with these two snow apes. Their attack power is much weaker than those outside, and there are other wounds on their bodies. These wounds... why do they look like marks of gnawing?" A team member in charge of the survey squatted down and carefully examined the snow apes. He found that the snow ape that had just been injured in the neck had some missing flesh on its back and arms, and these two snow apes looked smaller and thinner than the dozens of snow apes outside.

"This snow ape... Hey, its skin is starting to turn darker. Shouldn't snow apes' skin be pink?"

Another team member saw that the snow ape's skin under its white hair was obviously different from that of other snow apes. Not only was it black, but it also looked dry and colorless, just like the skin condition of an old man withered skin.

"Xiao Jiang, find a bag to put this snow ape in and send it to the research institute later." Cheng Xun narrowed his eyes and shot the snow ape again. The snow ape stood up reflexively and its pupils suddenly dilated. The whole process lasted about two minutes before it died completely.

"Got it, Captain." The last team member took out a long black bag from his backpack. His movements were very familiar, and the shape of the bag was obviously a body bag, which was just right for holding the snow ape.

Although the snow apes in the hospital had been dealt with, there were still dozens of strong snow apes gathered outside. If they wanted to leave here, they had to get rid of the rest. Although Cheng Xun's team were all psychics, it would still be difficult to get rid of all the snow apes at once.

"We will be divided into four groups in a while, namely the sniper group, the offensive group, the logistics group and the driver group. The sniper group and the offensive group will be responsible for fire support, the logistics group will be responsible for transferring medicines, and the driver group will be responsible for driving the car to the side door. The grouping will be carried out according to our usual training." Cheng Xun quickly organized his thoughts and began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.

Under Cheng Xun's coordination, the team was quickly divided into four groups, and each group had a clear division of labor and began to make corresponding preparations according to their own tasks.

At this time, more than a dozen huge snow piles have risen outside the hospital. From a distance, they look like piled snow piles, but the only weird thing is that these snow piles can move at any time.

Cheng Xun stood at the window, his sharp eyes piercing through the blizzard and falling on the snowdrifts. He gave a low order, and the sniper team aimed at several snowdrifts.

After hearing a series of loud noises, the snow piles in other places immediately dispersed, while the snow piles that were hit by the sniper gradually overflowed with bright red blood.

The driver team had already arrived at the first floor. After hearing the gunshots, everyone immediately ran towards the vehicle. They took care of the two snow apes hiding on the side of the door before driving two minibuses to the gate.

The logistics team had packed all the medicines that needed to be transferred in advance, and were the first to enter the vehicle with the support of the firepower team.

The entire operation proceeded in an orderly manner. Cheng Xun's firepower team was the last to get on the car. At the moment the door was closed, they could still see the snow apes running and chasing behind the car through the car window.

The car drove about two kilometers before it completely got rid of the last snow ape.

Cheng Xun looked at the team members in the car with a heavy face. This operation was full of dangers, but fortunately they all survived. But now is not the time to relax, because there is another thing waiting for him. At this time, the bureau's research institute is still about five kilometers away. No one knows what will happen in these short five kilometers. In order to ensure that the final task can be completed smoothly without any casualties, Cheng Xun must cheer up.

But what Cheng Xun was more concerned about was the strange snow ape in the body bag.
