stop fighting

The eastern sky was covered with a layer of hazy light, and as Lu Ze and the others walked towards the old city, the area of ​​that patch of light gradually expanded, and finally turned into a gloomy gray.

The rain didn't stop, and the pattering drops of water hit the waterproof cloaks of the three of them. The sound was mixed with the rustling of the surrounding vegetation, but it was not so abrupt.

Their speed is very fast. If you look down from mid-air at this moment, you can probably only see three fuzzy dark green dots moving forward along the edge of the road.

Around 9:[-], the wreckage of the original viaduct on the outskirts of the old city loomed in front of the sight of the three of them.

Lu Ze made a gesture to signal the team to stop, and tapped lightly on the wireless headset: "Currently B1 is approaching the mission target, A3 please answer if you hear it, and A3 please answer if you hear it."

After two seconds of electromagnetic rustling, Zheng Guanqi's nervous voice came from the other end: "A3 received it, A3 received it."

"Is everything okay at the camp?"

"Report, report to the captain, everything is normal."

"Stay vigilant." Lu Ze hung up the communication after finishing speaking.

"Captain, do you want to use the drone to reconnaissance again?" Wu Zhuo asked from the side.

Lu Ze squinted his eyes and looked ahead. The rain was a little lighter than before. Most of the loop viaduct in front had collapsed, and a concrete pillar about ten meters high stood alone on the devastated land.

He shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "There is not so much time, go directly into the city. Stay alert, we are about to enter the monster's lair." As he spoke, he took the lead in walking forward.

Wu Zhuo and Chen Xin looked at each other silently, and followed his pace.

The remnants of the highway can be vaguely distinguished under the feet.The closer you get to the main city, the rougher the road under your feet.Cracks criss-crossed on the original cement asphalt floor, as if someone had randomly scratched across the ground with a huge carving knife. The places where the scratches left were the cracks of different depths under their feet at this moment.

The power of nature should never be underestimated.Although only a few months have passed, unknown weeds have already grown from the cracks, and they are still tenaciously braving the eye-catching green under the dim light of the sky.The roads are lined with abandoned vehicles left behind by people who tried to get out of the city when the virus broke out.The front glass has been covered with a thick layer of plaster, and almost none of them are intact, either the glass is broken or the body is dented, making people feel like they are in a huge abandoned car yard.

After entering the main urban area, their speed slowed down, Lu Ze took the lead, Chen Xin moved back, and Wu Zhuo paid attention to the situation on the left and right.

As the three of them marched, the rain gradually weakened, and the patter that finally fell on them was almost inaudible.

"Captain—" Chen Xin sounded from behind with some hesitation.

Lu Ze turned his head and looked sharply: "What?"

Chen Xin silently pointed to the right side.

That direction is the green belt that divides the main road of the city. There were large clusters of roses planted in the past, but after being cleaned by humans after the evacuation, they are still growing wantonly and luxuriantly without anyone taking care of them for so many months.

Lu Ze looked in the direction of Chen Xin's finger, and saw a silver nameplate hanging on a branch outside the clump of roses, shaking slightly in the damp wind, reflecting a transparent light under the gray sky. With some weird lights.

Lu Ze's pupils narrowed slightly.

Just as Chen Xin wanted to go over to take down the sign, Lu Ze suddenly raised his hand to stop him: "Stay alert." As he spoke, he walked over slowly by himself.

Their position was only ten meters away from the green belt, but Lu Ze walked carefully step by step. When he was approaching the edge of the green belt, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. After a long while, his face sank ugly.

Chen Xin and Wu Zhuo behind him were unknown, so Wu Zhuo tentatively called out: "Captain?"

Lu Ze gestured for him to keep silent, then tapped the radio lightly: "Chen Xin, shoot at three o'clock under my feet."

Without asking why, Chen Xin directly raised the gun to aim, and pulled the trigger. The whole movement was smooth and smooth.

The bullet just hit a piece of gravel on the side of the road, and the cement stone shook, and with a rustling sound, it suddenly fell down.

Lu Ze had already stepped back at this time, but within a few seconds, a pit nearly 3 meters deep appeared in front of the three of them.

The trap is very rough, but if you really fall, it will take a lot of time to get up.

"This is..." Even Chen Xin's voice revealed a rare surprise.

"No matter who did it, there must still be people alive in the old city—be careful." Lu Ze's eyes fell on the dangling nameplate in front, and there was some sarcasm in his voice.

Wu Zhuo and Chen Xin exchanged glances, followed his pace silently.

Behind the three of them, the nameplate was still tremblingly hanging on the rose branch, shaking slightly with the barely noticeable weak air current in the air, and the shiny silver surface was spotless.

Just as the three of them turned a street corner, a figure turned from one end of the concrete pier behind them.He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Ze's back from a distance for a while, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the people who came this time are smarter than I thought. Jacques and the others are going to chew hard."

As he spoke, he bent down and patted Bai Ying at his feet: "Is that right, Xiao Bai?"

The white shadow snorted in a low voice, which seemed to be a little eager.

The man really laughed now, and rubbed the white shadow's head: "I know what you mean. It's just—" He straightened up again, the temperature in his eyes faded, and his voice gradually became colder: "Whether they can get to the step of negotiating terms with me or not depends on their own abilities."

On the other side, Lu Ze and his party crossed the second ring road near noon.

Turning around a street corner, looking at the tall buildings in front of him that had been cut in half, Lu Ze gestured for the two people beside him to stop.

Wu Zhuo took out the tablet in a tacit understanding, swiped the interface a few times quickly, and handed it to Lu Ze: "Captain."

Lu Ze took it, narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, and pointed his finger on one of the areas: "It seems that we are not far from our destination."

Wu Zhuo's eyes fell on his finger: "Army... Institute of Biology?"

"That's right." Lu Ze handed the tablet back to Wu Zhuo: "We need at least three routes. Chen Xin is testing the radio communication with the base. I'll go and have a look nearby."

Wu Zhuo answered yes, and Chen Xin simply nodded.

"Be careful." Before Lu Ze finished speaking, he had already flashed into the alley next to him.

From joining the army to the present, more than ten years of experience in performing missions has cultivated a terrifying intuition for Lu Ze. This intuition does not require any logic, but it often becomes the turning point when his life is on the line.

Ever since he entered the main urban area of ​​the old city, he always felt that something was wrong.

According to the information they got before they set off, the infected organisms radiated from the old city as the core were enough for them to fight a few tough battles before they approached the city. People's magazines are full.

He didn't think they were that lucky.

Then there are only two possibilities left, one is that the intelligence of the base military is wrong; the other is that something has changed here, and those infected creatures have either been cleaned or gathered in a certain place.

Either way, it's not a good idea for their current situation.

Lu Ze looked around, and there was a building that looked like a shopping mall 50 meters ahead on the right.The glass on the outside of the building is almost shattered, and the ugly steel skeleton is just exposed to the air.I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but only a quarter of the entire building was cut off by the missile. Lu Ze happened to be facing this quadrangular slope, and he could clearly see the internal structure.Most importantly, compared to other scattered ruins, this is the commanding height of vision closest to them.

Without further hesitation, Lu Ze simply talked to Chen Xin and the others in the communication, and quickly walked towards the building.

Wu Zhuo used to be a computer genius in the special training base. Lu Ze took a lot of effort to recruit him to his squadron, and he never disappointed Lu Ze.In just ten minutes, three light green travel routes have been drawn on the map in his tablet.

When he raised his head habitually, he seemed to realize that Lu Ze still hadn't come back.

Chen Xin was leaning against the wall beside him, holding a communicator in his hand, frowning slightly.

Noticing Wu Zhuo's movements, he turned his gaze over: "There seems to be something wrong with the camp."

Wu Zhuo's breathing tightened: "Can't get in touch with Xiao Lu'er?"

Chen Xin shook his head: "I checked when the captain left 10 minutes ago. There is no problem. Everything is normal on their side. When I tried again just now, I couldn't get through. The same goes for the chess watchers. Could it be some kind of electromagnetic interference? ?”

Wu Zhuo also frowned: "You mean the electromagnetic interference in the old city? The drone did lose contact last night, but it's about 5 kilometers away from our current location."

"Electromagnetic test?"

Wu Zhuo nodded: "Let me test it and see if I can contact the captain."

Lu Ze's communication was connected immediately.

"Smoker, what's the matter?" Although there was some electromagnetic noise, it could still be heard clearly.

"We and the camp—" Chen Xin was in the middle of speaking, and he was keenly aware of the abnormal breathing over there: "Have you encountered a living corpse?"

Lu Ze laughed: "You found out, but there are only two of them, I can handle them. Then you go on, what happened to the camp?"

Chen Xin hesitated for a second, but still told the truth: "Our camp has temporarily lost contact, and now Wu Zhuo is still testing to see if it is the cause of electromagnetic interference."

Lu Ze paused, and for a second or two, Chen Xin seemed to hear the whistling wind coming from him.

When he spoke again, his voice became serious: "I am now on the fourth floor of the shopping mall in the southwest of yours. Your location is not safe, move now, and I will wait for you here."
