Seven months later, the ruins of the old city.

It was late in the evening, and there was a sound of an engine in the distance on the former Highway 6.Under the red sunset, an armored vehicle came into view.

In the driver's seat was a young man wearing a camouflage T-shirt with thick eyebrows and big eyes.He glanced at the co-pilot, and said hesitantly: "Captain, according to the satellite map, we still have 20 kilometers to enter the old city."

The person on the co-pilot was originally closing his eyes and resting his mind. He opened his eyes after hearing this sentence. Someone behind him handed over a tablet and pointed to the area circled in red: "Xiao Zheng is right, our current position is Here, another 20 kilometers ahead will enter the scope of the old city.”

He took the tablet, said "uh", with a careless and lazy expression, and looked out the window: "Park in the abandoned service area at 3 o'clock in the southeast. The old rules, around the 'smoking gun' and the little deer Line up, the others set up camp."

Zheng Guanqi turned onto the ramp on the right and slowed down a bit.

The rear door of the armored vehicle opened, and two figures quickly jumped down one after the other. After landing, the man in front made a gesture and went to the left. bush.

The road sign on one side of the road was dented by something, and it was still standing crookedly. The lower part of the word "District" in "Service Area" was stained with brown stains.

This service area is not big. On the left side of the front, you can see a row of two-story buildings that used to be supermarkets. In the parking lot in the middle, there are more than a dozen cars and SUVs parked here and there. They probably wanted to escape from the city when the disaster happened. what people left behind.After 7 months of wind and rain, these cars have become a dusty mass, and a layer of leaves has fallen on the front windows of the cars.The gaps in the concrete floor were occupied by overgrown weeds, and there was a dead silence all around.

"I'll go down and have a look first." Lu Ze said as he opened the door of the passenger cab, and jumped down neatly with a Type 05 micro-charger.

Zheng Guanqi parked the car in an inconspicuous corner in the southwest corner of the parking lot. Two SUVs happened to be in front of him. He and Wu Zhuo just turned off the engine and were about to get out of the car when Lu Ze's lazy voice came from the communicator next to his ear: "This place No way, little Zhuozi, it’s too conspicuous. There is a canopy behind the supermarket, take your little brother to move.”

Just as Wu Zhuo and the others restarted the car, Lu Ze's voice came from the communicator again: "By the way, from tomorrow onwards, all team members entering the old city will walk."

Zheng Guanqi looked at Wu Zhuo in a daze, mouthed "walking" silently, and pointed to his two legs.

On the other end, Lu Ze seemed to have guessed his movements: "Yes, that's right, walk." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes: "No, if I remember correctly, I should have said about it the night before yesterday ?”

Zheng Guanqi's tongue was tied together: "Yes, I'm sorry Captain, I may... fell asleep..."

Before Lu Ze could say anything, there was a crisp low laugh from the communicator, followed by a lively female voice: "Okay, boss, don't scare the younger brother, it's the first time a child is on a mission. , don’t take you like this.”

Lu Ze gave a "tsk" sound: "At 2 o'clock in the northwest, Comrade Fang Luxian."

When Fang Luxian heard the movement, he had already turned his head and picked up the gun, but he was still a step behind Lu Ze. The bullet whizzed past a silver buckle on the branch, and hit the rotting corpse accurately on the back of the head.

"Captain, you didn't take the sniper, did you? I obviously hung the bait there, and as long as the living corpse takes one step forward, the head will be mine!" She complained in her tone.

"Come on, it's just a living corpse. It's too wasteful to use your high-tech stuff." Lu Ze grinned.

Fang Luxian: "..."

Lu Ze cleared his throat: "Okay, everyone, after the task is completed, gather at the main entrance of the supermarket in the service area, it's over."

Half an hour later, Fang Luxian was the second to arrive at the meeting point.

At this time, the twilight was already deep, and the setting sun completely sank to the distant mountains in the sky. In the dim light and shadow, I saw a figure sitting on a gasoline barrel at the entrance of the supermarket, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. , with one leg dangling down, the micro-punch was leaning against his feet.If it weren't for the desolation and weirdness of the surrounding environment, he would give people a relaxed and relaxed feeling.

Seeing her approaching, Lu Ze said vaguely, "I'm the one who robbed you just now. In this way, I'll give you the first one after entering the city tomorrow, so you won't say I took advantage."

Fang Luxian rolled his eyes from an angle he couldn't see: "Chen Xin will definitely be the first one after entering the city tomorrow, do you want to bet?"

Lu Ze pretended to think about it: "Anyway, I don't know how to shoot."

Fang Luxian looked at him with a sincere tone: "Captain, I find that your skin is getting thicker."

Lu Ze touched his nose: "So obvious?"

Fang Lu gave him a blank look, walked to his side, put down his backpack, and sat down as well.

Not long after, Chen Xin, Zheng Guanqi and Wu Zhuo also came back.

Chen Xin is known as the "Smoking Gun". This nickname is purely because of the hookah he kept very well in the base dormitory. It is said that it is the only thing his family left for him.

……

Seven months ago, an unprecedented wave of viruses broke out around the world.No one could have predicted this sudden disaster.Until now, people at the new base have not been able to determine where the source of the virus is.

Only two days later, all the satellite cities within a radius of [-] kilometers around the old city were reduced to ruins.

Human beings infected by the virus first lose their autonomous consciousness, and then the body produces an anaerobic reaction. The virus penetrates the cerebral cortex and invades the medulla all the way, destroying the nerve fibers and nuclei.At this time, although human beings are not dead in the biological sense, they have completely turned into walking carrion, attacking all creatures within sight.They are called living corpses by survivors, and their only Achilles' heel is the head.

The frightening thing is that the virus not only infects humans, it attacks all surviving mammals indiscriminately.Survivors not only have to face the attack of living corpses, but also clean all poultry, pets and wild animals to avoid infection during the evacuation.

Even though the army responded as quickly as possible when the disaster broke out, but the speed of the virus infection was too fast. After the first round of cleaning with missiles, all survivors were gathered in the γ satellite city on the southeast coast, The largest survivor base of mankind on this continent has been established.

The Army Institute of Biology, which was the core of research before the end of the world, was the first place to fall.According to the statistics of the survivors by the military in the later period, there is only one survivor in the entire institute——Tang Qing.At that time, she went to a satellite city on the east coast for academic exchanges, and thus became a core figure in the study of virus serum after the establishment of the survivor base.

And that's not the worst news.

Half a year after the establishment of the base, the military sent an unmanned reconnaissance plane to the old city to investigate the situation. The infrared sensor images sent back showed that in the place that had been cleaned by missiles for a round, with the old city as the radiation point, there were still a large number of Infected bodies are spreading around.

The military needs to find out where the source of the virus outbreak is, and Tang Qing's team also needs samples for research. Under such circumstances, the headquarters has successively sent special elite teams back to the old city for reconnaissance.

Lu Ze's team was established under such circumstances.

Chen Xin originally belonged to the special forces in the old city, and was responsible for the evacuation of the population in the southern part of the old city at that time.When he finished his mission and returned to the base, he found that his family was not among those lucky enough to be rescued.

This is what happened to most people under the circumstances at the time.Later, he overheard Zheng Guanqi mentioning that Wu Zhuo's parents also failed to escape from the disaster, and Fang Lulian watched his mother's neck being bitten off by a living corpse.

As for Zheng Guanqi, he was relatively lucky. He had an elder brother who was three years older. His parents died when the two brothers were very young, and the other relatives in the family had no contact with each other. The special operations team next door.Because he was the youngest, he was naturally called "Little Junior Brother" by others.

In this five-person team, apart from Wu Zhuo and Zheng Guanxing who joined later, Chen Xin and Fang Luxian were soldiers under Lu Ze's command before. After performing several missions near the base, the five people have established a relationship. There is a tacit agreement.

A month ago, the base had begun to send special operations teams to the old city one after another, with the purpose of bringing back infected sample tissues that could be used for research, and at the same time scouting the biological research institute in the old city as much as possible to find out where the source of the virus outbreak was.

There were three teams in the first batch, and Zheng Guanqi's brother was in one of them.However, two weeks ago, on the second day after the three teams entered the old city, all communications with the base were suddenly cut off.After the research, the headquarters decided to send another team. The first task was to search and rescue teammates. Once they found someone, they would return to the base immediately. If conditions permit, they could enter the main city of the old city.

……

"Although we theoretically have enough supplies, I still went around the parking lot and picked up some leaks." Lu Ze said, patting the gasoline barrel under his body, "My little brother and I will move this gasoline to the tank later." On the way back to the car, Wu Zhuo prepares a drone to explore the situation in the city first. Smoker and Xiao Luer go to the supermarket to see if there are any supplies that can be used, let’s move.”

When Lu Ze and the others came back, Chen Xin and Fang Lulian were sitting at the back door of the supermarket eating compressed biscuits, while Wu Zhuo was squatting aside and adjusting the machine.

"Boss... Well, we didn't mess with anything... It's all gone." Fang Lulian stood up first.

Chen Xin looked at her helplessly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.

Lu Ze looked disgusted: "Straighten your tongue and talk."

Fang Lulian swallowed the compressed biscuit forcefully, and almost choked his eyes: "...I mean, we have seen it in the supermarket just now, and there is nothing useful in it. It is estimated that all the people who fled at that time snatched it up." It's all gone. We'll just have to eat biscuits tonight."

Lu Ze couldn't laugh or cry: "Stop playing your foodie nature at this time. Wu Zhuo, how is the drone debugging going?"

Wu Zhuo raised his head from the side: "It's going well so far. From the image, the host has already entered the city."

The expression on Lu Ze's face became serious, and he scanned his team members around: "Let's take a look together."

It is estimated that it will be updated every other day before the year, so let me save some manuscripts (cover my face)
