Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.20 Nine Days After the Invasion · "If you don't have anything to do, you don't use the camera. If you use the camera, you will die. It's Duan Squad."

Before the sun completely set on the horizon, Duan Yi found a bridge hole and parked the truck in it.

As expected, the infected people at night ran out from the hidden places in various streets one after another.

Duan Yi turned off the engine, turned off all the car lights, and finally found a few cans of odor eliminator in the box of war supplies that Long Changlin gave them earlier, and sprayed it around the truck.

The infected people who had been wandering towards them slowly stopped in their tracks.

Du Nanrong stood nervously in the carriage, slightly bowed his body, and looked out the window.

I saw those infected people raised their heads one after another, looking towards the sky as if they were sniffing something.They looked around aimlessly, and finally turned around and walked away when they found nothing.

Du Nanrong breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Duan Yi and the others, and saw that they had already taken out their maps and flashlights, and were having a "wartime meeting".

He consciously sat on the side and listened to their arrangements.

The route Duan Yi and the others are going to take is different from the route Long Changlin came in.

Long Changlin's team came all the way and found that a section of the highway near Lindu had completely collapsed, and there was even a small area of ​​landslides, and the entire area was almost blocked by vehicles.

Long Changlin and the others were able to come in only because of the dozens of army trucks that opened the way and crashed out all the way.

But after they came in, there was a regional explosion on the expressway behind them, and it was completely scrapped.

Therefore, Duan Yi and the others had to find another way out.

"It is estimated that we will leave Rindu tomorrow." Duan Yi said, pointing to the direction on the map, "We are here now. The expressway out of Rindu has been blocked. We will take the ground path, that is, the outer circle."

"Most of Lindu's outskirts are farmland and livestock farms. What needs to be careful is whether the farm plants in the farmland and the livestock raised by the farmers are infected and mutated." Duan Yi looked at Lin Qian and the others.

"But before that, we still have one more trouble." Cheng Sheng took Duan Yi's words, he leaned forward slightly, and tapped his fingers on the upper right corner of the map, "This is the only way we must pass. But again, this will be the place where the highest concentration of infected people will be.”

On the tourist map manual, the classic logo of Disney occupies a very eye-catching position.

"Crossing the park directly can reduce the time and fuel consumption by one time." Cheng Sheng said, "If you make a detour, the left and right sides are Happy Valley Park and the other side is Xiaofangshan tourist area, and there are also a considerable number of infections. The audience, and there are still a large number of captive ornamental animals in the Xiaofangshan tourist area, and the infection status is unknown."

Du Nanrong understood that they had no other choice but to cross the park.

And the infected people in the park will be a big obstacle on their way forward.

As we all know, 360 days a year, there is no day in the Disneyland Park where you can enter the park without queuing. During the peak period, the park can accommodate nearly 3 people. It fluctuates around [-] to [-] people.

Moreover, not only in the park, but also on the road close to the park, there are mostly hotels and restaurants, and some tourists choose to stay in nearby hotels in order to enter the park early.

That is to say, starting from the hotel area, the difficulty they encounter will increase gradually.

"And here it is." Cheng Sheng continued, "Long Changlin has given us information. From the outside of Rindu, the whole Rin is surrounded by green vegetation. In his words, it seems to be covered by a piece of greenery. under the green dome."

"In addition to rushing out of the paradise area, how we break through the green vegetation will be a big problem."

Lin Qian let out a "huh" and said, "Indeed, the Long Team and the others directly attacked with fire. But all of our engine oil was used up in the swarm attack in the parking lot, and only the generator was left. No matter how hard it is, it’s not enough to rush out.”

"So we need to find a new angle." Cheng Sheng looked at Du Nanrong, to be precise, at the shrunken saxifrage next to Du Nanrong.

Lin Qian immediately realized that he laughed "hehehe", and couldn't help clapping his hands: "This is not a coincidence!"

Du Nanrong was terrified by Lin Qian's laughter.

"Have you thought about it?" Xu Ying asked.

Lin Qian nodded and pointed to the saxifrage: "Let it penetrate into the enemy's interior, fish in troubled waters, and open up a world for us to pass through!"

Hearing this, Du Nanrong looked down at the grass beside him, and felt that it had a long way to go.

"Can it work?" Du Nanrong made an uncertain nasal sound.

"They're all plants, and they seem to belong to the same camp. Why not?" Lin Qian asked back.

At first glance, it makes sense.

However, in the next second, Lin Qian was sneaked outside by Duan Yiti, and Duan Yi said flatly, "Go out and stand guard and pay attention to the situation outside."

Lin Qian was at a loss.

Cheng Sheng curled the corner of his mouth, seeing that Lin Qian didn't have this self-awareness yet, he said clearly, "What Duan Duan means is, don't make any trouble."

Lin Qian: "..."

How could it be like this.

"Before arriving at the hotel area tomorrow, look around to see if there is a place to replenish engine oil," Cheng Sheng said.

"After rushing into the park, what we want to ensure is to rush to the other end as quickly as possible, instead of wasting time on dealing with the infected." Cheng Sheng emphasized.

"So most of the defense needs to be achieved by the electrified fence around the military collection card. I have a generator here, but the oil is not enough. While I am still in the city, these resources are relatively easy to obtain. Reserve as much as possible. Some."

"Understood, doctor." Xu Ying nodded in response.

Du Nanrong also nodded quickly, he paused, pointed to the saxifrage lying at his feet, and asked, "I said to rely on it to break through the plant barrier outside Lindu, what do you plan to do?"

"Science has proved that plants can indeed communicate with each other easily. From this perspective, Lin Qian's idea is quite interesting." Cheng Sheng stroked the leaves of the saxifrage.

Lin Qian, who was standing guard outside the car, heard what Cheng Sheng said, and looked at them proudly.

When Cheng Sheng saw it, he made a smirk, and continued, "I just want it to act as a spy to open the door for us. This is really a way that children's book authors came up with. It's very cute and harmonious."

Du Nanrong was amused.

Lin Qian looked away, touched his nose, and then stood at attention.

Cheng Sheng continued: "The current plan is to find the weak point of the barrier, let its roots penetrate into it, stretch and grow, and open up a space that can allow the military collection card to pass through."

"Back?" Du Nanrong was stunned, "Can it be done?"

Although he has also seen with his own eyes how this saxifrage shows great power and rolls a car into a paper tube, but what they have to face is a similar mutated plant. Will this succeed?

"A few years ago, in a laboratory on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, a rose plant grew wildly, and finally broke through the double-layer thickened constant-temperature glass box that imprisoned its growth." Cheng Sheng said, "This accident also made people Realized the great power contained in the plant itself."

Du Nanrong nodded silently upon hearing this.

"Let it directly confront that barrier, it's like mantising a cart; only by finding another way can we hope to break through." Cheng Sheng said.

"Then, do we have a backup plan?" Du Nanrong rubbed the back of his head and asked shyly, "In case it doesn't come in handy..."

"Yes." Duan Yi replied, succinctly, "We force it."

Du Nanrong: "..."

What a backup plan that is not at all reassuring.

Cheng Sheng laughed. He glanced at Duan Yi, yawned slowly, and motioned for Duan Yi to carry him off the wheelchair.

"Okay, tomorrow will be a tough battle, so take a good rest," he said.

Duan Yi laid a thick cushion for the doctor, then bent down and hugged Cheng Sheng from the wheelchair.

"Lin Qian, you come back too." After putting down Cheng Sheng, Duan Yi said to Lin Qian who was standing guard outside.

He found two boxes of glass light bulbs in the cart that Du Nanrong brought back from the hardware store.

Duan Yi disassembled a box of light bulbs, took off his jacket, smashed the light bulbs into glass slag through the clothes, and sprinkled all the light bulbs outside the collection truck.

Whenever a creature appeared around them, it would step on the glass and make a shattering sound, enough to wake them up.

A night without dreams.

It's just a little cold.

Du Nanrong finally understood why Lin Qian asked him to bring more thick down jackets. The temperature dropped suddenly at night, and he wished he could wear two down jackets on his upper body.

Looking at the doctor, the fluffy blanket under the doctor looks soft and warm, which is enviable.

Duan Yi was half-sitting next to Cheng Sheng, leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed to rest his mind, he felt a warm temperature around his legs, subconsciously took a look, and saw that the doctor seemed to be asleep, tilting his head slightly, approaching Heat source, I nestled my face against my legs, and squeezed together to keep warm.

Duan Yi slightly bent his mouth, did not move, and closed his eyes while maintaining this posture.

Lin Qian looked at the doctor, then at Duan Duan, and finally at Luo Xiaonan.

The child also got a little special treatment. Cheng Sheng had put a warm cushion under his buttocks for him earlier. Lin Qian was so cold that he couldn't sleep at all, so he leaned over cheekily and said to Luo Xiaonan, "Brother, I'll tell you a bedtime story." , let's squeeze."

Luo Xiaonan hugged his stuffed bear, nodded, looking sleepy, obviously woken up by Lin Qian.

But the little guy is obedient and clever, and he didn't get angry when he was woken up. Instead, he stretched out his little hand and patted Lin Qian who still had the energy to tell him a story: "Brother, go to sleep."

Lin Qian thought to himself, he really wants to sleep, but it's really cold.

He thought so, but a strange drowsiness came to his heart.

He yawned softly: "Today I will tell you the story of shooting nine suns, let's shoot one down to keep warm... Hululu..."

"It will be burned." Luo Xiaonan hugged the little bear and replied, and when he finished speaking, Lin Qian fell asleep. He pursed his mouth, leaned against Lin Qian and closed his eyes, and said softly, "Good night, brother."

In fact, Cheng Sheng was not asleep. Hearing Lin Qian's "story", he slightly bent his mouth and leaned towards Duan Yi again.

It is said that one can swallow an elephant when one is hungry, but Lin Qian roasted himself when it was cold.

With his eyes closed, he found sporadic signals from the saxifrage in the seemingly endless vastness.

It's not the same as it was during the day, but now it seems that it is particularly active because it has found its master.

Little one, shelter us from the wind and cold.

He sent a signal to the saxifrage.

The saxifrage nestled next to Du Nanrong suddenly shook its leaves, and it stretched out all the leaves without a sound, hardly waking anyone up, filling the entire iron door of the carriage, blocking the cold wind that poured in from the iron cracks. Be strict.

Duan Yi opened his eyes, and glanced at the saxifrage at the door. The grass trembled, but it still blocked the door firmly.

He looked down at Cheng Sheng, the doctor was still lying on his lap, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was asleep and didn't know anything.

The next day, the sky was still bright.

There was a sudden "click" sound outside the door, which flashed past very lightly, quickly and lightly, like an illusion.

Duan Yi leaned against the carriage, and suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up lightly.

Cheng Sheng slept soundly next to him, and he didn't wake up until Duan Yi picked him up and put him on the wheelchair.

"What's wrong?" His voice was still hoarse after waking up, and he asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I'll go out and have a look." Duan Yi subconsciously touched the top of the doctor's head, pressing down a bunch of short curled hair.

The grass at the entrance of the carriage retracted into a small plant, squatting at Du Nanrong's feet.

The movement of Duan Yi getting up woke up Xu Ying and Lin Qian at the same time.

"Duan team." The two shouted in a low voice, and quickly turned over and stood up.

They opened the iron door and looked out, and there was actually a layer of thin ice that was about to melt on the ground.

Not far away, an infected person crouched on the ground and slowly crawled towards them.

There was another "click", it crushed a piece of broken glass, and the glass shards pierced its knee, but it didn't feel it at all.

Lin Qian covered Luo Xiaonan's eyes.

Xu Ying trotted over and quickly disposed of the infected person who was approaching them.

"It's freezing outside." Lin Qian rubbed his hands, feeling a little cold.

"The temperature has dropped again." Xu Ying came back after dealing with the infected. She stood at the iron door, crushed the crushed ice on the ground with her toes, and said in a low voice.

Cheng Sheng didn't know when he slid out of the carriage. He stopped at the door, raised his head slightly to look at the gray sky, and said calmly, "It seems that the first snow of this year is coming soon."

Du Nanrong stood by, not knowing what to say, how many months is it?He would not have believed this before, but now he has to believe it.

The abnormal sudden drop in weather, infected people can be seen everywhere, and plants can turn into towering sacred trees in myths and stories. All these seem like a reshuffle of the rules of the world, like a catastrophe for human beings.

He couldn't help feeling confused and flustered—are they still saved?

"Hurry up, let's go." Duan Yi said.

Lin Qian patted Du Nanrong on the shoulder, and jumped back onto the collection card: "Let's go, I still have to find your daughter."

Du Nanrong came back to his senses, he took a deep breath, nodded, and clenched his fists.

They drove north all the way according to the route they had set yesterday, passing a gas station.

The gas station is full of scrapped private cars, and it is clear that conflicts among infected people have also broken out here.

As they approached slowly, they saw bloody palm prints all over the transparent glass in the convenience store of the gas station.

Duan Yi stopped the car.

"Want to enter the gas station?" Du Nanrong asked.

He glanced at the densely packed private cars outside, as well as the convenience store with flashing lights, and swallowed.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Du Nanrong followed Duan Yi and the others down, while Cheng Sheng and Luo Xiaonan stayed in the car.

There was no one in the gas station, the door of the convenience store was open, and the floor was covered in blood, but the person had disappeared.

Perhaps it has been many days since the riots took place, and the infected people have been far away from this initial land.

Whatever the reason, it's good news that they don't need to expend too much energy here.

When they entered the convenience store, a considerable part of the shelves had been emptied, which made Du Nanrong very disappointed.

"Lin Qian and Du Nanrong are going to install the engine oil. They can take as much as they can. When they are full, they will return to the car immediately. Don't stay around." Duan Yi said, and the four of them divided into two teams to act separately.

He and Xu Ying went shopping in the convenience store and put everything they needed into baskets.

The basket was only that big and the space was limited. Xu Ying stood in front of the row of aunt's towels, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, she hesitated and turned around to get the disinfectant tissue.

Unexpectedly, several packs of aunt's towels were thrown into her basket one after another. Xu Ying was taken aback and looked up: "... Duan Duan?"

"Get the necessities." Duan Yi said concisely, "The convenience store supplies you will encounter in the future will only decrease, so stock up as much as possible now."

"Understood Duan Duan." Xu Ying was still a little embarrassed, but was calmed down by Duan Dui's business-like tone.

She cleared the shelves of everything, and unpacked the large package of aunt's towels, which took up a large part of the space in the bulk basket.

The mineral water in the convenience store has been emptied, Duan Yi took all the energy drinks and alcoholic drinks, and saw some snacks like chocolate energy bars hanging on both sides of the shelf, took them all off and put them in his pockets.

When Duan Yi and the others finished sweeping the goods and returned to the car, Lin Qian and Du Nanrong were still installing oil.

Cheng Sheng suddenly pointed to the abandoned private cars on the road, and asked, "Can the fuel tanks on these cars be removed separately?"

Duan Yi took a look. Generally speaking, car 4s factories can disassemble the fuel tank alone, but some cars can be dismantled even at home, just be careful with open flames.

Detachable fuel tanks are mostly easy to dismantle and do not require any complicated tools. Remove the interior trim on the side of the fuel tank cover of the trunk—most of the fixed interior trims like this are plastic buckles, which can be unscrewed with a screwdriver Open——After unscrewing the two screws at the end of the fuel tank, hold the fuel tank with your hands and pull it back to take it off.

Duan Yi disassembled a few, and moved them back with the oil directly connected to the fuel tank.

When Lin Qian and Du Nanrong returned with a full tank of gas, Duan Yi also unloaded the gas tanks of three cars.

Lin Qian looked at the three tanks of gasoline that Duan Yi brought back, and twitched the corners of his mouth. This method was much simpler than their rough approach.

"Unload a little more? So many scrapped cars." Lin Qian was eager to try.

"There aren't many vehicles that can be unloaded, so it's time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, if you come to the gas station to refuel, you will definitely not have much fuel, so it's not worthwhile." Cheng Sheng said, "It's just boring waiting for you to come over, and there is no need to unload other people. fuel tank."

Lin Qian thought about it too. He patted the large fuel tank they carried back and said, "We saw a large-capacity engine oil tank over there, so we simply replaced it with a larger tank. But the fuel in this gas station There are not many, there are no ready-made ones to move, and it is estimated that they have all been unloaded."

"It's okay, these can last for a while." Cheng Sheng said.

Relying on the power grid is only a temporary measure, and he doesn't expect the power grid to reach the imperial capital all the way.

When the group got back to the car, Duan Yi stuffed the chocolate bar brought back from the convenience store into Cheng Sheng's hand, and then returned to the cab to start the engine.

Xu Ying blinked, it turned out that the doctor likes to eat chocolate.

It turns out that the Duan team is specially reserved for doctors.

Du Nanrong filled up the generator with oil, and the saxifrage squatted at Cheng Sheng's feet, waving its petals.

"Rush, rush, rush out of Lindu!" Lin Qian gave a "bang" and closed the iron door at the rear of the carriage.

According to the previously estimated time, they drove to the hotel area near the park before noon.

The number of infected people on the main road has obviously increased. On the one hand, the degree of density here is much higher than other areas, as Cheng Sheng said before. Also more active during the day.

As soon as he entered the hotel area, Duan Yi increased his driving speed.

The truck knocked over the scrapped car on the road in front and rushed all the way to the park.

Cheng Sheng and others stayed in the carriage, surrounded by iron sheets, unable to see the situation outside, only Xu Ying stayed in the passenger cab, and from the rearview mirror, he could see more and more infected people behind them Running towards them from all directions.

Xu Ying clenched the gun in her hand, estimating their ammunition stock.

"You drive." Duan Yi said abruptly.

Xu Ying immediately reacted, and responded neatly, and the two quickly changed positions in a small space.

"Full speed forward, leave the rest to me." Duan Yi said.

"Got it, Team Duan."

Duan Yi didn't use the gun that Xu Ying put down.He took out a gun barrel from the equipment box, held it firmly in his hand, and quickly and neatly installed the stock, receiver, barrel screw, scope, magazine, and silencer.

This is a police AWP sniper rifle with high accuracy, and Duan Yi is the best sniper in the battalion.

After assembling the sniper rifle, he put it on his back, leaned out the window and climbed onto the roof of the truck.

When Lin Qian and the others heard the movement from above their heads, they were taken aback for a moment. Du Nanrong thought the roof of the car had been attacked, so he looked nervous. Looking at Lin Qian and the others, Lin Qian had a clear and relaxed expression.

He said, "It's a team."

"Ah? Why is he going up there?" Du Nanrong was taken aback.

"Don't let the infected get close." Lin Qian said, "Team Duan is the best sniper in our battalion, even Team Long can't keep up with him."

He pointed to the top of his head: "If you have nothing to do, don't turn on the mirror. If you turn on the mirror, you will die. It's Duan Duan."

"But so many infected people... can they come over?" Du Nanrong asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" outside, and the car body shook slightly, as if something had exploded.

Duan Yi crawled on the roof of the car, pulled down the bolt, reloaded the bullet, and aimed not far away.

He looked expressionlessly at several private cars that exploded and took off not far away.

A large number of infected people who were following behind were torn apart by the explosion caused by the gasoline leak, and the rest were attracted by the movement there.

"That's Team Duan." Listening to the noise outside, Lin Qian rolled his eyes with a smile, "Quiet Duan is a typical opportunist. Give him a bullet, and he can blow up an entire street for you."

Du Nanrong swallowed, and the leaves and petals of the saxifrage beside him shook in unison.
