Chapter 5 Can't Earth

A large group of steam sprayed into the air, and the rusty gears made a sour sound. God knows how many days the door of the base has not been opened. The half-meter-thick alloy door shrinks in first and then opens from it, revealing a jagged door seam. The bottom wheel brushed the rust rails on the ground, and the violent friction made the rock powder on the door keep falling, like a gray rain.

An old-fashioned off-road chariot came out, and the modified vehicle mounted a powerful heavy machine gun in the back seat, with a range of up to 1,000 meters and a combat rate of fire up to 300 rounds per minute. Its excellent suppression and destructiveness make this chariot the most powerful war weapon in the Z7 base.

Now, the chariot has to drive to Silvertree City, 300 kilometers away, so as to bring back enough medicine for the base.

The sky is clear.

But this is not good weather. On the contrary, there is no cloud barrier, and the strong ultraviolet sunlight bakes the whole earth. Although the radiation on the ground is not as high as in the day of the cataclysm, no one wants to be exposed to the surface in broad daylight. Although the off-road vehicle has strong firepower, it does not have a good radiation protection system. Compared with this old-era chariot, the fully-covered armored chariot, which is now sought after by major companies and chaebols, is more suitable for moving during the day than this old-fashioned chariot because of its adoption of the newly developed radiation-proof armor plate.

Naturally, the Z7 base can't afford an armored fighting vehicle, even the oldest model.

Night is a more suitable time for people on duty. But the living dead wandering in Silvertree City gave up their thoughts.

The living dead are also known as living corpses. These human-type monsters, which are infected with the virus, are completely different from the zombies that often appear in novels in old times. Living corpses have a sensitive sense of smell to fresh blood, and the strength and flexibility of their muscles give them more power and speed than ordinary people. They are flexible and agile, and can even easily climb up windows and ceilings, and can tear an adult man with bare hands. It is a very tricky monster.

Living corpses are gregarious monsters. They usually roam the ruins of the city and eat all the living people and animals before migrating to other areas.

There is nothing alive in Silver Tree City, but there are still a small number of living corpses there. The living corpses left in the city are old. Although they can still move, their strength and speed have been greatly degraded. But despite this, they are still opponents that cannot be despised.

The living corpses are active at night. They are afraid of the sun and all the bright things, so during the day, the living corpses basically sleep in the shadow of the ruins. This is also the reason why the base chose to operate during the day. At night, the danger of the mission will double.

Zero sat in the back car and stayed with four other soldiers.

These people are not the soldiers I saw in Old Jack's room in the morning. The breath of their soldiers is stronger, and their equipment is better than those of them. At least what they have is not *, but a standard automatic machine gun. This kind of machine gun is not very powerful, but it can be fired continuously, so the fire network formed should not be underestimated.

Rihot was driving a car, cursing old Jack to let him participate in this dangerous mission. He was determined to pretend to be ill, but old Jack's words made him obediently join the team of this mission.

"Our base does not accept patients. Holt, if you are too sick to get out of the mission, then I can only throw you out of the base. Old Jack said when he heard Holt use illness as an excuse to shirk the task.

Being abandoned by the base means that you have to face endless dangers in the wilderness alone and don't get any material assistance, which is no different from suicide.

Old Jack has always said that Holt has never doubted this, so the black man immediately made a wise choice.

"Stop complaining, Holt. If you come back this time, the reward will be enough for you to go to the settlement to find the most beautiful woman to sleep for ten nights. S content yourself.

A middle-aged soldier with a cigarette in his mouth and a scar in his right eye laughed.

"Shut up, left grid. I'm not like you soldiers. I'm just Miss Leah's bodyguard. Why should I participate in such a dangerous mission with you old ghosts? Holt slapped the steering wheel and foamed everywhere.

Four soldiers laughed.

Zuo Ge's eyes looked at Zero, who had been silent and said, "If you want to talk about a rookie, we have another one here. Hey, yellow man, I heard that you are a survivor. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?

Zero did not answer, and a young soldier sitting opposite him said, "I also heard that you have a wonderful eye. Let's have a look. Don't hide like a bitch.

His words were immediately approved by the other two soldiers, but he ignored them and was unmoved.

The soldier was impatient and reached out to catch the brown eye mask on Ling's face. This was what he received from Holt before the mission. Ling originally wanted a sunglasses, but the black man only had this thing. Along with this eye shield, in addition to two boxes of magazines, there is also a stainless steel dagger.

At present, this dagger suddenly came to Zero's hand. A cold light turned out, and the tip of the dagger pointed up at the soldier's throat. If he goes one step further, the sharp dagger will make a hole in his neck.

The soldier stopped.

Except for Zuo Ge, the other two taxis shouted angrily and raised their guns to zero, and the interior of the car was suddenly chaotic.

"What the hell!" Holt didn't expect this to happen, so he quickly stopped the car to avoid bumps and trigger unnecessary variables.

Zero didn't look at the two barrels pointing at him. His eyes under the blindfold stared at the soldier who began to sweat because of nervousness and said lightly, "I don't want to cause trouble, but when the trouble comes to me, I don't mind solving it."

"Put down the dagger, I said put it down quickly, or I'll shoot!"

The other two soldiers shouted, and their fingers had begun to move closer to the board machine.

"All stop!" Zuo Ge, who had been silent, shouted violently: "Carl, Tony, put away the gun for me."

He looked at Zero again: "And you, yellow, your dagger should point to monsters or enemies, not companions!"

Zero looked at him and slowly withdrew the dagger: "I'm just going on a mission with you. As for my companions, I don't think so. At least, I don't see any tacit understanding between us.

Seeing Zero withdrawing the dagger, the other two soldiers put down their guns. The young soldier, who was pointed at by a petty dagger, sat down in the parking space almost weakly.

Zuo Ge looked at Zero and shook his head and said, "I know you don't trust us. Similarly, we can't completely trust you. But sir, this dangerous world can't survive alone. In order to survive, you have to entrust your back to others more often.

"I... Try your best." Zero commitment to the greatest extent.

The chariot continues to move forward.

In the car, Zuo Ge took the initiative to introduce his team. Zuo Ge himself is a veteran and the commander of this mission. The two people who just raised the gun, Carl and Tony are firefighters, and they are responsible for fire suppression. As for the young man who just ignored Zero, the soldier named Alan was a sniper. Finally, it was Black Holt. First of all, he was Leah's bodyguard. He also played well with pistols. At the same time, he was also a famous blasting expert, which was unexpected.

"Zero, good at close combat, long-range fire support and so on. There are also scouting, tracking and trapping. Zero briefly introduced his strengths.

The left grid nodded. Although Zero is a survivor, he is an ordinary person without any evolutionary point. But judging from his action of subduing Allen just now, this man should be a skilled veteran. Zuo Ge believes his judgment and understands why old Jack let a newcomer participate in this mission.

This is the second test for Zero, and it is old Jack who judges whether Zero has the qualification to stay at the base. In the words of old Jack, the base does not support idle people.

There is nothing to say all the way, and this team still needs to run in. It's just that this kind of grinding is not suitable for conversation and fighting, which can accelerate this kind of running-in.

While the Silver Tree City was in sight, there was a group of people moving in front of the chariot and on the left side of the highway.

Zero hides the right eye behind the shield. After issuing a command from the depth of consciousness, the visual distance is immediately approached. So he clearly saw that more than a dozen ragged men were taking turns to enjoy a woman's body. In the crowd, the excited roar of men and the sad screams of women were mixed, making them particularly harsh on this quiet road.

Obviously, this unbearable behavior touches the moral bottom line of zero. Subconsciously, his hand grasped the miniature machine gun next to him.

"Don't worry about them, and you can't take care of this kind of thing." The corner of Zuo Ge's eyes just caught zero subtle movements. The captain said casually, "The world is very different from the old times. There is no law in the wilderness. Whoever's fist is hard enough is the law. Things like this often happen in the wilderness, and there are more heinous things you haven't seen before. So you don't have to pay attention to it, and you can't control it, unless you think you're God, hey.

Catch the finger of the machine gun and gradually let go. Zero felt a blank feeling in his heart. His worldview still stayed in his cognition of the old times, and it was difficult to adapt to the fact that the world had become chaotic in a short time.

This is an era of jungle. Zero sighed in his heart.

The off-road chariot quickly passed by the mobs, and a man who had just been satisfied from the woman's body fell on the chariot passing by the roadside. He immediately shouted, picked up an old-fashioned pistol from the ground, and opened fire on the chariot.
