City D in Province N is located in the northeast of the country, about 900 kilometers away from Yancheng.

It has been a year since the end of the world began, and now the outside world has entered a "stable period". The survivors began to seek their own way of survival, and most of them hid in the dark like wild beasts in the city.

The open authority of several military regions accepts outsiders, but it is a drop in the bucket. In terms of numbers, the number of surviving humans cannot compete with the "zombie army", and the scope of concern is only one-third of an acre of surrounding land.

Just like Yancheng, even the city where the military region is located cannot be guaranteed to be completely stable. It needs to regularly organize manpower to clean up the city, let alone other surrounding rural counties.

Therefore, except for some special cities, most of the areas have become a paradise for zombies. Human beings have disappeared, hiding in dark places where there is no light from the sky.

Last time, Fu Yan ran thousands of miles from S city to Pengcheng, taking a very efficient and remote road, but this time it obviously won't work.

In his previous life, Fu Yan took advantage of the opportunity, and when he left, the whole world hadn't realized what happened, but now it's been a year since the apocalypse broke out, and there is no absolutely safe pure land in the world anymore.

All the main roads and small roads out of the city are full of traffic jams. They should be people who are unwilling to give up and want to try to get away from the crowd.They had an accident on the way to escape—or maybe their relatives mutated, or they couldn't move forward when they reached a dead end, and they were infected by zombies when they got off the car.

Wandering zombies and scrapped vehicles became natural roadblocks. The special operations team changed routes several times, but still had to stop every once in a while to manually clear the road.

From the situation on the road, it can be seen that there are not a few people who want to run to the sparsely populated northeast in times of crisis.When approaching Yuguan, even the two main lines out of the city were already jammed by serial collisions.

As a last resort, Fu Yan and the others could only avoid this high-risk line by crossing a section of completely undeveloped agricultural land.

The road was difficult, and he had to face large and small encounters. The more times, the sense of disobedience in Shao Qiu's body was gradually revealed.

As he had promised Fu Yan before, he was in good control, there was no drug retrograde reaction, and he didn't lose the chain in the battle.Although he occasionally becomes dazed and unable to hear people's words during the rest time, the duration is very short. Generally, he can wake up as long as he is called, and the overall impact is not great.

The only difference is... There is a problem with Shao Qiu's fighting style.

"Deputy team!" He Tang yelled, rolled on the spot, and then rolled inertially to a bunker, quickly replaced the empty magazine, leaned out and took a shot.

When the zombies behind Shao Qiu were shot down by He Tang, the pistol bullet in Shao Qiu's hand happened to be empty.The zombie with teeth and claws in front of him rushed towards him, but Shao Qiu still didn't even have the intention to turn his head back. He simply put the gun behind his waist and drew out the saber at his side like a "changing of the guard".

Under the night, the hilt of Shao Qiu's saber glowed with an ominous green fluorescence, and the heavy rain drenched his whole body, and the slightly long bangs he didn't have time to trim wetly stuck to his forehead, blocking his sight .

He leaned low to avoid the opponent's sharp claws, turned back to support the opponent's legs, followed the inertia and pressed the zombie head-on to the ground, raised the knife to the ground, and inserted the tip of the knife into the opponent's vitals.

Shao Qiu's movements were fast and extremely straightforward, with a strong taste of determination.He rubbed the zombie's teeth with the back of his bare hand, and He Tang could see clearly by the fluorescent light, and was startled into a cold sweat by him.

He Tang got goosebumps all over his body, shivered subconsciously, and called him repeatedly, but Shao Qiu pretended he couldn't hear him, and pulled the saber from the opponent's body vigorously with his wrist, shaking slightly when he stood up.

He Tang replaced bursts of fire with bursts of fire to cover him and exploded the heads of a few zombies. Seeing that more zombies surrounded him, he simply stopped fighting, wiped the rainwater off his face, and pointed the gun at him with his backhand. With his back on his back, he jumped over the stone in the bunker and ran towards Shao Qiu.

"Okay, deputy team!" He Tang shouted at him: "Let's meet with the captain first!"

After passing Yuguan, the terrain outside the pass began to change, with many mountains and trees, and many tunnels.

The action team went here for routine air patrols. They are familiar with the sky, but they don’t know much about the specific routes on the ground. In most cases, they have to rely on satellite maps to formulate their forward routes.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and outside the customs was catching up with the rainy season, most of the few mountain roads that could be walked collapsed, and the modified vehicles could not move forward, so they had to detour the provincial road.

Not far from them was a two-kilometer tunnel, and it was already dark when they arrived here. Fu Yan was cautious not to take the risk of smearing into the tunnel, and was going to use high-power lights to explore the way after dawn.

The action team should have retreated, but who knows if the headlights and the sound of the car alarmed the zombies, the tunnel suddenly flooded out with a dense group of zombies, there were a hundred or eighty in one eye.

At that time, He Tang was sitting in the co-pilot, he gasped when he saw this, and almost blurted out a curse.

I don’t know how the group of zombies came together. They looked like insect eggs that had been punctured from the egg coat. They were densely piled up and hugged each other. When they rushed out of the tunnel, the visual impact was worse than that of the insect disaster movie. big.

He Tang choked up in his stomach and almost felt nauseous at the time.

"Put on your equipment and get out of the car." Fu Yan said decisively, "Be careful!"

Needless to say, several people in the car had already consciously picked up their equipment, tightened the zippers of their training uniforms, and quickly got out of the car from all sides.

The group of zombies is too close, and it is too late to reverse the car now. The zombies are moving very fast, and it is impossible to stop them when the vehicle does not pick up the speed.At that time, it will be too late to get out of the car, and you can only be trapped alive.

It was pouring rain outside, and the visibility on the road was not enough. Fu Yan had suffered from being stuck in a closed terrain before, so he didn't dare to bet on such luck.

In contrast, it is better to get out of the car and face them directly. With the individual combat quality of the action team, the safety factor is a little higher.

The group of zombies surrounded them in an instant, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was astonishingly dark. The action team was dispersed after a while, and He Tang fought and retreated, waiting for Fu Yan to join her after he escaped from danger. Signal, who knew that Shao Qiu was cleaning up the zombies like a god on the way, and he didn't even know where the protective equipment in his hand fell.

"The captain and my brother should be together." He Tang exploded two zombies in the air, walked up to Shao Qiu, and shouted at him: "Vice team, the three of them, the movements are even stronger. Come on, look at the direction and it should be up the mountain—let's take a walk over there."

The terrain of this provincial road is complicated, with a low mountain on the left, and a long slope with a gentle slope on the right where He Tang and Shao Qiu are. Below the long slope is a rushing muddy river. The straight-line distance is about two or three kilometers. .

When He Tang avoided the zombies, he had already retreated to the middle of the long slope. The originally dense group of zombies was diverted and led away by them. About thirty or forty of them were chased by Shao Qiu, and half of them were dealt with by Shao Qiu. Still within the manageable range.

As soon as He Tang finished speaking, a very thin beam of bright blue light suddenly lit up in another direction, which was very obvious in the dark rainy night, and it came from a high-frequency signal light.

Shao Qiu obviously also saw this lamp post, he hesitated for two seconds, bent over to avoid a zombie's bite, turned around and kicked the other's waist hard.The zombie couldn't keep its balance, fell headfirst, and rolled down the long slope, almost bumping into He Tang.

He Tang hissed, took two steps to jump over the zombie scroll, and complained with lingering fear: "Deputy team, watch carefully, it almost bit me!"

While speaking, Shao Qiu had already caught two more zombies. He didn't use a knife this time, but took the time to change to a spare gun.

But he shot at a very close distance, as if deliberately waiting for the opponent to approach before shooting. The bullet penetrated through the zombie's face, and a huge blood hole burst in the back of the head, rotting blood and brains sprayed onto Shao Qiu's body , stained with his rotting blood.

He Tang paused, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Under the heavy rain, the smell on Shao Qiu's body could not be washed away, and those stubborn bloody brains seeped into the fibers of his clothes, as if they had melted into his blood under He Tang's nose.

For a moment, Shao Qiu looked no different from those monsters exuding a rotten smell.

He Tang slowed down for a moment, startled by his sudden thought, subconsciously shook his head.

There are men and women, old and young in the pile of zombies. The last thing Shao Qiu cleared was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. Most of his body had been rotten, and the flesh fell loose on the joints. Shao Qiu shot him in the chest. On the bridge of the nose, the ballistic trajectory penetrates down, right across the nape of his neck.

The corpses of the zombies were spread all over the ground, and the rotting minced meat was washed by the rain into mud, which slowly descended along the long slope.

The dense gunfire did not know when it stopped completely, and only the rustling rain remained in the sky and the earth.He Tang stepped over a sea of ​​corpses and blood, walked to Shao Qiu's side, and gently held his wrist holding the gun.

"Deputy team." He Tang bent slightly, looked into his eyes from bottom to top, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Major Sparrowhawk, who is lively and gossip-loving on weekdays, seems to always be the mascot of the action team to lower the average mental age.

But she has the most powerful ears in the team, she is sensitive and meticulous, shed the outer shell, and she has the most gentle heart.

He Tang's tone was very light, she didn't make jokes like she did every time before, or accuse him of losing his composure before the battle, she just stared at Shao Qiu's red eyes gently and quietly, and slowly and firmly took his hands Take the gun.

"It's okay, deputy team." He Tang said, "I'll give you 3 minutes to adjust. I won't tell the captain."
