Chapter 6
"Clang, clang ~ ~ ~"
With a crisp sound, the rearview mirror on the right side of the chariot became history.
Halt cursed, but he had no intention of stopping or turning around, which meant that the men in the car were not prepared to fight with the mob.
After zero days, with the change of the silver pupils in the golden right eye, the vision was closed once again.
The mob was a bearded man.
He was wearing a tattered vest, and on the front of the vest, there was a sign in English that said "Giant Team, come on!"
Such clothes naturally could not provide any protection at all, thus the man's body was as black as coal due to the intense ultraviolet rays from the sun for a long time.
In addition to his dark skin, Zero also found a layer of something similar to the stratum corneum on his shoulder and forearm.
It would be a variation of some sort, thought Zero.
In the desolate wilderness, radiation was everywhere.
If one wasn't an Adept, then one had to wear radiation-proof clothing like the rest of them to travel through the wilderness.
After several generations of improvement, the latest version of anti-radiation clothing is no different from ordinary clothing.
They were clearly heavier, closer to the uniform, and the model was lagging behind.
However, compared to the mob outside, he was much better.
The chariot went away, leaving the mob far behind, and drew back into sight.
"They want the car."
said Zoug slowly, smoking a cigarette.
Zero lowered his head, understanding.
The uninhabitable surface, where bases, companies, or shoddy settlements are hidden.
The distance between these locations is usually more than a thousand kilometers, and today the world is unusually vast.
Without the means of transportation, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to pass through the wilderness where danger lurked. This was the logical reaction of the mob when they arrived at the chariot.
Another half an hour and the chariot stopped.
In front of the car was the entrance to the small town. The sign beside the road showed that the sign "Welcome to Silver Tree City" was on the ground.
There was a head stuck in the pole alone. It was a man with a terrified expression on his face.
His head was stuck in an iron pole that went right through his neck, leaving the man's head in the sun, stinking.
The hot air generated by the sunlight caused the town to distort and distort, like a demon city.
Silver Tree City was very quiet. Occasionally, a strong wind would blow by, and the sound of cans rolling on the ground could be heard.
"The living corpse's vision has deteriorated, but its hearing and sense of smell are unusually well-developed.
If we drove into town, no doubt we'd tell the sleeping guys, Hey, food's coming in.
Zoug made a wagging motion, then laughed to himself, feeling no tension at all.
Zergs listened to him, and the information in Zerg's words was quickly memorized, classified, and summed up by him.
Thus, the information regarding the living corpse was gradually forming in his mind.
Zero didn't stay idle either. Listening to Zoug's words, he would soon enter the town on foot. Thus, a routine check was necessary.
He quickly checked his equipment, a submachine gun, a dagger, several pieces of ammunition, and a jug of secondary drinking water.
As he did so, Zoug looked at him with approval.
The others quickly checked themselves out, and the leader's left hand opened the door and stepped out into the hot sun.
Zero followed and left the tank, passing by the cooling space of the refrigeration system. In a moment, they were on the ground that was comparable to the desert and almost thought that they were going to combust with him.
However, after a short period of discomfort, his body quickly recovered.
Even Zero himself didn't realize that he didn't have a single drop of sweat on his body, even after being bathed by the sunlight with high intensity ultraviolet rays.
As for the others, they were already drenched in sweat after a short moment.
Silver Tree City wasn't that big. An urban street shaped like a curved ruler ran across the small city.
20 square kilometers of the town, residential areas, schools, libraries, hospitals and police station and other urban facilities.
In the old days, the tranquil town had a population of about a thousand people and was famous for growing large numbers of ginkgo trees.
Now, naturally, there were no greenery. The buildings in the city were semi-damaged, and only the only school in the city was still intact.
But it had also become a place of living corpses, so the map in Zek's hands was marked with big red "Danger."
After walking into the city, the team rested for a while in the garage of a house.
He took out the map and made a simple plan.
On the west side of the city, next to the police station, was the only hospital in Silver Tree.
The hospital drew a red circle on the map, and Zag pointed it out. "This is where we're aiming. Mary Hospital has five floors, and the medicine is in the basement storeroom."
"We don't know what's going on inside. There might be living corpses or other monsters, especially in the basement. It's their favorite paradise, so we need to be extra careful with our actions."
"Everything that can produce a light source must be removed. If there is a light source in the underground space, it is tantamount to telling these monsters that we are here."
All switched to infrared scouts, and they had to have silencers on the guns. Those guys have good ears. "
Lingcun was stunned. He did not receive any infrared scouts or silencers.
Fortunately, Zuo Ge seemed to have expected this to happen. He took out these two items from his military bag and handed them to Zero without any hesitation.
Take out another map. It's the floor plan of the hospital basement.
Lefg pointed to the door and said, "Holt, you stay here and install enough explosives on the door."
"Once we get the medicine to retreat, if any living corpses chase us, we will take yours."
Huo Que nodded, patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, I will keep it safe and blast those bastards' eggs out."
Zek smiled and nodded to Carl, Tony, and Zero.
He said, "The three of you, follow me in. I will be responsible for the exploration. Karl and Tony, you will be responsible for providing firepower support when necessary."
As for you zero, I hope that when we retreat, a certain living corpse will not suddenly jump out and obstruct us. "
Zero did not say anything, but he did not object, indicating that he had accepted the job.
Finally, he said to Ellen, "Find me a suitable stop point and make sure we don't get bitten by a live corpse when we pull out of the hospital building.
At the same time, you will arrange a retreat for yourself. We will gather outside the city.
Well, gentlemen, if you're ready, I think it's time to act. "
"Now, check out the time!"
We still have four hours before sunset. Move fast! "
Zoug ended with this statement, which represented the beginning of action.
After leaving the garage, Ellen left the group for the time being.
Five men, including Zero, moved quickly toward the hospital, and a moment later they were standing outside the building.
The five floors of the hospital building had collapsed, but the building below was in good condition.
The door of the building was open, revealing a dark space. Standing outside the door, the cold wind blew in, as if the inside of the building was the abyss of hell.
But now, Zoug and the others wanted to jump into hell by themselves.
After the team leader sent out a short signal to move, he took the lead and went in. After him were Halt and the others, followed by Zero.
The zero eyepatch had been removed, and the infrared scanner was on the right side of his face, covering his golden right eye.
He turned on the safety catch of the machine gun and, hunched over, landed silently, like a cat gliding gracefully into the darkness of a hospital building.
Under the effect of the infrared instrument, the corridor in the darkness appeared in a minute in the zero eye.
The windows of the hospital were shuttered and covered with some kind of paint, blocking out the sunlight and making it seem very dark.
Opposite the door was the outpatient lobby, littered with newspaper racks, water dispensers, chairs, and the like.
Furthermore, there were several corpses on the ground. Their bodies had already been turned into bones, and it was unknown how long they had been dead for.
They were still wearing the doctor's white coat, and the bones were not complete. From the jagged fracture surfaces, they must have been torn apart by something.
His skin, which was wrapped in a protective suit, felt the faintest pricking sensation, and his instincts told him that the hospital was dangerous.
Absolutely not as calm as it looked.
In his line of sight, Zoug made a gesture to indicate that everything was all right in front of him.
They followed him out through the fire escape to the left of the outpatient lobby and down the steps to the door of the underground storage room.
The door was unlocked and ajar.
A body sat by the door in what must have been a hospital security guard.
The corpse's left arm was missing, and even its head was half eaten by something. Everyone frowned.
Zek motioned for Halt to stay, and the Negro patted his chest and made another "ok" gesture, then set about preparing the explosive.
The team continued moving forward.
After passing through the gate, there was a passage that extended to the left and right of them.
When he reached the wall, Zoug locked onto a spot on the wall with the floor plan of the medicine storage room hanging on it.
It was a storage room for antibiotics, east of the basement, in a deeper location.
After confirming his target, Zoug walked in front of the group and slowly but carefully led the group forward.
Zero was still at the back, and everything was normal except for the occasional corpse lying on the ground.
However, the calmer it was, and for some reason, the stronger the stabbing sensation on his skin grew.
It was as though there was an enormous danger ahead, silently awaiting them.
Zero could not hold it in anymore. Under Karl and Kal's strange gazes, he stepped forward and grabbed hold of Zuo Ge.
With his finger he wrote the word DANGER in the palm of his left hand. He pointed to the dark area ahead, shook his head, and made a retreating gesture that made him frown.
Zuo Ge naturally knew that Lingcun wanted to say something, but in his eyes, Lingcun was extremely nervous.
According to the information gathered at the base, most of the living corpses in Silver Tree were gathered in the city's schools.
Half a year ago, the base sent out 10 people to carry out the same task. Originally everything went smoothly, but when the team was retreating they passed near the school and were attacked by a lot of live corpses. In the end, only one of them managed to escape.
As for Mary Hospital, there were no more than ten living corpses hidden here.
Zuo Ge did not take this amount to heart.
He patted Zero on the shoulder, then patted himself on the chest, then held his thumb up to show he was in control.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Zoug let the group move forward.
As Carl and Tony walked past Zero, they looked at each other with contempt.
They were laughing, they knew, at their cowardice.
He was not going to argue, and since Zoug was determined to act, it was enough for Zoug to do his job well.
At the back of the line, the golden right eye, under the control of his mind, kept adjusting the horizon to help him clear out everything suspicious.
As he passed by the Potioneering Room, a soft sound entered his ears.
After catching the strange noise, he quickly headed towards the Potioneering workshop. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
The door of the potion lab was ajar. Something flashed past the entrance of the potion lab in front of Zero's line of sight.
Zero's right eye was quite clear. It was a high-heeled heel.
It was impossible for the heel to move on its own. In other words, there was something moving inside.
He nudged the door open with the barrel of the gun.
He crouched down. If something suddenly rushed out of the door, it wouldn't be able to hit him.
He kept his half-squatting posture, and when the door opened, he saw that the muzzle of the submachine gun was pointed towards the inside of the door.
However, there was nothing inside the door. Other than the medicine cabinet on the floor and the corpse of a man.
The body of the man was only a skeleton, but he was wearing a police uniform with a six-pointed star on the chest. He looked like a sheriff.
The sheriff had died, but the body was still clutching two revolvers.
These two left wheels were the same, as if they were in a pair.
Zero-vision measurements showed that the guns were nearly 50 cm in length and 7 cm in height.
It was too big for a revolver, and the shells strewn all over the floor beneath the body made a frown.
He picked up one of the pistols and observed it. He knew the revolver was a fifty-caliber warhead.
Picking up one of the pistols, he shook his hand and the drum immediately slid away.
Unlike an ordinary revolver filled with six rounds of drums, this pistol's drum can only load five rounds.
"M500 revolver?"
In the old days, the only revolver in the world that fired five rounds was the M500.
That's because the bullet it can fire is a 50 warhead big enough to kill an African elephant.
As he had expected, the carpal bones of the dead sheriff's hands were broken.
It was forcefully broken by the M500's recoil. Who knew what kind of thing this Sheriff was hunting with such a powerful handgun?
Pulling the two pistols from the corpse's hands, Zero-O found a line of small letters carved into the butt of the converging material.
"To the dearest Smith-Marie."
The gun had been given to the sheriff by a woman named Mary, but now that the sheriff was dead, Zero decided to take it for him.
They will play a bigger role in the hands of zero.
There was a row of unused fifty rounds left on the sheriff, but he wanted to reach for them.
As soon as his fingers touched the bullet, the prickling sensation on his skin intensified.
A sense of danger rushed through his heart like a tsunami.
At this moment, the sound of high heels tapping on the ground came from behind!
