End of the World
Chapter 68 Searching for Gasoline
It took a while for the three of them to recover and look at each other. Chen Guangjun knew in advance that there was a plague here, but he didn't expect to actually encounter it. According to Fang Xiaoyun, the situation was quite serious, but they didn't know how the plague was transmitted.
"Let's go! Let's go find some gasoline!" Zeng Jincheng didn't want to look at the corpse, fearing that he would be contaminated by that stuff.
The three of them returned along the same route. The main warehouse was empty, so they had to go to other warehouses to look for gasoline.
There are several passages in the main warehouse, including a wide main road connecting the other two large warehouses. The rest of the passages are auxiliary roads leading to the secondary warehouse or the sealed warehouse. These auxiliary roads crisscross between the three large warehouses. If you are not familiar with the road, you will really get lost.
Gasoline is a liquid fuel and is usually stored in oil barrels in the main warehouse for convenience. The quantity is not too large. The real reserves are in large oil storage tanks in the corners of the secondary warehouse.
The three of them followed the auxiliary road to the No. 1 main warehouse's auxiliary warehouse. There were several auxiliary warehouses, and the fuel would be in a separate warehouse.
"it's here!"
The three saw the flammable liquid warning sign on the door, and inside was the fuel storage tank.
"This is a bit of a joke! It's an electric door again!" Zeng Jincheng cursed when he saw the auxiliary warehouse door.
Chen Guangjun looked at the other auxiliary warehouse doors and said, "The doors are all the same. They should still require a password!"
"What should we do now?" Chen Haitao was at a loss. If that was the case, they wouldn't be able to get in even if there was electricity!
Zeng Jincheng kicked the warehouse door and said, "Go back first!"
The three of them were a little frustrated, fearing that they would not be able to complete the mission.
"Will there be gasoline in the other two large warehouses?" Chen Haitao turned around and said.
"I don't know if there is gasoline, there must be a lot of zombies!" Zeng Jincheng said.
"Let's go and take a look, maybe there will be light at the end of the tunnel!" Chen Guangjun thought it didn't matter if he just took a look, it would be good to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Okay!" Zeng Jincheng had no objection. It would be best if the task could be completed.
The three of them came to Warehouse No. 2 via the main road that allows two-way traffic. They killed a few zombies on the way, but there was no gasoline in Warehouse No. 2. Like Warehouse No. 1, it was basically empty. The only difference was that there were more zombies stored here.
"Let's go back and find the platoon leader first!" Zeng Jincheng sighed.
The three of them walked back and came to the gate of the underground warehouse, but they did not find Gong Shusen. Instead, there were corpses all over the ground, most of them were zombies.
Then they looked forward and saw several bodies of soldiers on the ground, and the three of them hurried over.
"It's Zhang Xingchi!" Turning over a body, Zeng Jincheng recognized him as a soldier from the second squad. "The platoon leader and his men must be in trouble!"
Chen Guangjun turned over the other two bodies, but unfortunately they were beyond recognition and their features could not be distinguished.
"He should be Pang Guangbo, I can't recognize that one!" Although his face was unrecognizable, Chen Guangjun still recognized him based on his body shape and equipment. Pang Guangbo was the sniper of Class 2, and Chen Guangjun had consulted him before.
"Gu Youming, I'm familiar with him!" Chen Haitao said, feeling a little sad, because these were all their comrades-in-arms!
Chen Guangjun picked up the night vision goggles on the ground, put them on his head, picked up Pang Guangbo's sniper rifle, and wiped the blood stains on it.
The Third Battalion was a reconnaissance battalion and originally had no snipers. Later, considering that the mission of the reconnaissance platoon was no less dangerous than that of the combat platoon, each reconnaissance platoon was equipped with a sniper rifle. The only sniper in the platoon was Pang Guangbo, who was transferred from other troops.
Zeng Jincheng also picked up the equipment on the ground and said, "Let's go! Let's go find the platoon leader!"
The three of them followed another passage to Warehouse No. 3. There were traces of fighting everywhere along the way, indicating that Gong Shusen and his men were in big trouble.
There were corpses everywhere in Warehouse No. 3, but there were still many zombies surrounding a certain entrance. No gunshots were heard, so Gong Shusen and the others should be safe for the time being.
"The platoon leader and the others should be trapped in there!" Zeng Jincheng pointed to the closed passage door.
"There are too many zombies! What should we do?" Chen Haitao estimated that there were quite a few, and some were hiding in the dark.
"There are probably hundreds of zombies!" Chen Guangjun was a little surprised. With the firepower of Gong Shusen and his men, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with just a hundred zombies.
"We can use grenades to eliminate some of them!" If there were only a bunch of zombies in front of him, Zeng Jincheng planned to attack with grenades.
"No! We didn't hear any explosion over there, which proves that the platoon leader and his men didn't use grenades. If we use them rashly, it might cause even greater trouble!" Chen Guangjun stopped them.
"Then we just watch like this?" Zeng Jincheng was a little dissatisfied.
"Sergeant, I think Guangjun is right. We didn't see any signs of grenade use. The platoon leader must have some concerns!" Chen Haitao also persuaded.
"You guys... forget it!" Zeng Jincheng was a little upset.
Chen Guangjun was secretly observing the group of corpses, and suddenly saw several dark red figures among them.
"Look at that!" Chen Guangjun patted the two of them.
“That’s not…?”
"Mutated zombies!"
"You still remember when we were on guard! These are the things that attacked Post No. 10!" Chen Guangjun had a deep memory of them. He was attacked by this kind of zombies when he was retreating. At that time, they couldn't do anything to him in the car.
"Of course I remember!" Both of them felt the same way. They were attacked by mutant zombies when they were retreating. Fortunately, there were few zombies in number and they were in an armored vehicle so no heavy casualties were caused.
"There's more than one!" Zeng Jincheng looked at the dark red figure darting around among the zombies.
"There are at least five!" Chen Guangjun saw it clearly.
"Let's go! Let's get support!" Zeng Jincheng was glad that he didn't act rashly.
The three carefully returned to the marked vent, climbed up, and retraced their steps.
"Why are you back? Where are the platoon leader and the others?" Deputy platoon leader Guo Chang asked as he had the three people pulled out of the passage.
"Platoon leader and the others are in danger!" Zeng Jincheng replied breathlessly. He was really fed up with this damn ventilation duct.
"Are platoon leader and the others okay?" Guo Chang asked hurriedly.
"Not yet!"
"Okay, tell me in detail what happened?" Guo Chang calmed down after learning that Gong Shusen and the others were not in danger for the time being.
"Go in, the platoon leader arranged for the second squad to temporarily block the gate. When we were clearing out the zombies in Warehouse No. 1, something unexpected happened in the second squad..."
Zeng Jincheng roughly recounted what had happened, but the platoon leader was still trapped inside!
"Are you saying there are a few dark red mutant zombies in the basement?" Guo Chang said.
Zeng Jincheng looked at the two of them and nodded.
"That's right, they're very agile, and they came out when we weren't sure how to deal with them!"
"You did a great job. Let me think about it!" Guo Chang put his hands on his hips, glanced at the zombies under the warehouse, and turned around and said, "It's too dark in the basement. The platoon leader and the others are safe for now. Let's restore the power first. New support will arrive soon!"
"Okay, but where can we get gasoline?" The three of them did not object, and Chen Guangjun stepped forward and asked.
"Have a good rest, leave it to me!" Guo Chang patted Chen Guangjun on the shoulder.
"He Feng!"
"To!"
"Please sit down, let's take a rest now!" Zeng Jincheng pulled Chen Guangjun to sit down, took out a pack of cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and handed it to Chen Guangjun.
"Want one?"
"No, I seldom smoke now!" Chen Guangjun blocked it, but his eyes looked towards Guo Chang.
"Give me one!" Chen Haitao was not polite when he saw the cigarette.
Zeng Jincheng took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled.
"You're a grown man, but you don't smoke? Don't worry! Patriarch Guo will make all the arrangements!"
"I haven't smoked for such a long time, and I'm afraid the urge to smoke will come back!" Chen Guangjun said. In the RV, Wu Bin and the others didn't smoke, and there were no cigarettes, so he gradually got used to it.
"Where do they get the oil?" Chen Haitao came over and asked.
Zeng Jincheng exhaled smoke and said, "There is a warehouse right under our feet, where can we go? Okay, let's stop worrying about it!"
The ground floor of the strategic warehouse is quite large, and many materials are piled inside for convenient use, including fuel. Guo Chang already knew the location of the fuel.
Guo Chang led the soldiers of the third squad to divert the zombies next to the fire by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and successfully obtained a barrel of gasoline.
"Is one barrel of gasoline enough?" Guo Chang looked at the three people. Several soldiers were hoisting a barrel of gasoline from the warehouse to the roof of the warehouse.
"Opening the door may be enough, but it won't make the warehouse bright!" Zeng Jincheng spread his hands.
"That's enough!" Guo Chang waved his hand. "Besides, we can't bring too much in. A hundred liters or so will be enough for an hour!"
As they were talking, the sound of helicopters was heard from the sky. Four Z-9 transport helicopters flew over the warehouse. On board were the second batch of troops, led by the commander of the third battalion, Shi Dewen.
The troops from the helicopter landed quickly, and the second batch of troops to arrive was the third company of the third battalion, along with some soldiers from the battalion headquarters.
"Report to the battalion commander. Guo Chang from the first platoon of the second company is reporting in. Please give instructions!" Guo Chang stepped forward and saluted Shi Dewen.
"Are there just a few of you? Where are the others?" Shi Dewen glanced at the row of soldiers, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Report, our platoon landed directly here. The other troops are in the west and are on the way!" Guo Chang straightened up and reported.
"West?" Shi Dewen frowned. "What are those guys doing? How many opportunities will be lost?"
Guo Chang lowered his head and did not dare to respond. Now he didn't know why the others landed in the west!
"Have you been in there? Where is your platoon leader?" Shi Dewen asked.
"Report, the platoon leader led people in and encountered some trouble!" Guo Chang reported truthfully and repeated the general situation inside to Shi Dewen.
"That's the way it is!"
After listening to Guo Chang's report, Shi Dewen's face looked a little better. The vanguard troops did have some gains, but he would have to give those troops that fell to the west a severe lesson when he returned. It was too outrageous for them to change the action without authorization.
"You did a great job!" Shi Dewen affirmed the actions of the whole team.
"Second Company, First Platoon, your platoon leader is Gong Shusen, right?"
"Yes!"
Shi Dewen nodded, took two steps forward, looked at the warehouse, turned around and said, "Guo Chang, I order you to take people in to restore the power immediately. The task of clearing out the zombies will be handed over to the third company. After the power is restored, I will send a platoon to help your platoon leader!"
"Yes!" Guo Chang straightened his body and saluted.
