Chapter 712 Doomsday Convoy

4:

The night was as dark as ink and a drizzle began to fall from the sky without any warning.

Huhuhu~

The cold wind from the wilderness mixed with wet rain swept through the bamboo forest, and the sound of the branches and leaves was like the friction of thousands of bones.

Under the roadbed, the wreckage of the overturned truck looked like the skeleton of a giant beast, and the broken windows made hollow whimpering sounds in the wind.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up on a 4-story building beside the country road, and then went out immediately as if afraid of being exposed.

"Xiao Zhou, what the hell are you doing out of the building? You scared me to death, I thought something came into the yard!"

On the rooftop, the sentry in a raincoat cursed and laughed in a low voice at the dark figure downstairs.

"Brother Yun, the captain asked me to place a few infrared alarms outside the building and disinfect the car at the same time."

College student Zhou Zhen was carrying a pesticide sprayer and spraying disinfectant around four modified off-road vehicles in the yard while talking.

"Okay, then be careful, I'll keep an eye on you."

"It's okay, Brother Yun, I'll be careful!"

As a shy and introverted college student, Zhou Zhen always subconsciously doesn't want to trouble others.

"Are you really okay? Oh, right? As a college student, you shouldn't believe in ghosts, right?"

On the rooftop, the idle sentry couldn't help but want to tease the youngest brother in the team.

"ghost?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhen seemed to sense something and couldn't help but glance at the bamboo forest behind him. He felt that the sound of the wind had become more resentful. In addition, two people had just died in this yard an hour ago (zombies).

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Ahem~ Um...Brother Yun, you better keep an eye on it for me..."

"Hahaha~"

Seeing Zhou Zhen trembling like this, Xiang Yun couldn't help laughing.

.....

At the same time, in the living room on the third floor where the windows were sealed with cardboard and quilts so that no light could leak in, the captain and deputy captain of the team were sitting together, studying the tablet computer on the coffee table.

"Old Wu said the fuel will last until tomorrow noon at most."

Deputy Captain Yu Wenwei spoke with a worried tone, his blue-frozen fingers swiping across the tablet screen. The fluorescent light of the offline map reflected the dark circles under his eyes, and the battery indicator was slowly jumping towards 11%.

"Then we have to find a gas station tomorrow..." Hearing about the lack of fuel, the captain felt a bit of a headache.

They are a ten-member doomsday survival team, all from the Southeast Autonomous Prefecture of Ye Province in the south of Tongren City.

Before, I had been living in a small settlement called Mutual Aid House. There were less than 200 people in the entire settlement. The living conditions were not very good, but it was still manageable.

After all, it’s good enough to be alive in the end times, and stability is the most important thing.

So even though I had known about the existence of the gathering place for colleagues through radio broadcasts, I never thought of coming here.

But just two weeks ago, the Mutual Aid gathering place was breached by a group of mutant ants...

Captain Xu Hanwen still remembers the desperate scene when the entire gathering place was drowned in the mutant ant colony without any resistance...

The ammunition from the few hot weapons in the gathering place was as ridiculous as a child using a water gun to shoot at the endless deep sea water. It couldn't even create a single wave...

Billions of red ants the size of wash basins are spreading all over the place, like an endless red tide...

Until that moment, Xu Hanwen felt that what he was fighting against was no longer a tide of mutant ants, but the way of heaven!

So after escaping by chance, the frightened Xu Hanwen and others first thought of fleeing to the largest gathering place within a few hundred kilometers - the gathering place of colleagues.

The reason for choosing the place where colleagues gather is not only because there is strength in numbers and there is a greater sense of security with more people, but more importantly, it allows us to avoid the direction in which the ant tide is moving!

"The ant tide is migrating south!"

This was the conclusion drawn by Xu Hanwen and others after experiencing the ant plague, so they chose to head north.

They no longer have time to think about who will be affected by the ant tide moving southward. The most important thing now is to ensure that they can successfully reach the gathering place of their colleagues and not die!

After all, for little Karami like them, it is already very difficult to ensure their own survival, so how can they afford to worry about other people...

...

"Captain, dinner is ready!"

Team member Lin Shan sat by the fire, and the sound of the stainless steel spoon scraping across the bottom of the pot was particularly loud.

Coo coo coo coo~~

On a simple stove made of several bricks, steam was rising from an iron pot, in which were cooking eight packets of instant noodles and a piece of mashed luncheon meat. In addition, there were a few pieces of wild vegetables picked from the roadside this afternoon.

As the soup boiled, the spicy aroma of the instant noodles instantly spread throughout the space, causing the team members in the living room to subconsciously swallow their saliva.

"Let's eat! Come on, Lao Yu, let's eat first!"

"I've been hungry all day, so I ate half a piece of bread at noon. Finally, I can have a hot meal!"

Captain Xu Hanwen stood up and greeted everyone, and walked towards the iron pot impatiently.

"Xiao Lin, serve the two portions to the sentry first, and we'll serve ours last!"

"Yes!"

In this way, except for two sentries and college student Zhou Zhen who placed infrared alarms outside, the rest of the team members all gathered together, sat around the fire, and enjoyed the happiest time of the day.

Just as everyone was concentrating on the boiling red soup and noodles in the iron pot in front of them, a series of explosions suddenly came from not far away.

Da da da da da~~

Bang bang bang bang bang~~~

?

"What's the movement??"

Hearing the sound, everyone in the living room became alert.

Captain Xu Hanwen quickly got up and went to the window, lifted a corner of the quilt, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

That is?

Pingxi Town Direction? ?

Why are there gunshots coming from Pingxi Town?

I didn't see any signs of human activity when I passed by this evening? Gunfire of this magnitude is definitely not something that ordinary survivors can cause!

Thinking of this, Xu Hanwen immediately pressed the talk button on the intercom:

"Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun! What's going on?!"

zizi~

"Captain, it's from the direction of Pingxi Town! There is a large-scale gunfire from the direction of Pingxi Town. From the noise, it seems that there are a lot of heavy weapons!"

"By the way, before that, I seemed to hear the sound of a train running on the tracks!"

Massive gunfire??? And trains???

Listening to Xiang Yun's incoherent report on the intercom, Captain Xu Hanwen couldn't help but frown and ran upstairs quickly.

In the end times of survival, neglecting any detail may lead to death, so he is eager to find out what happened!

It is about a 2-hour drive from here to Phoenix Airport where the colleagues gather. Could it be the army of the colleagues gathering here???

With this in mind, Captain Xu Hanwen and his team quickly came to the rooftop. Not caring about the drizzle that was falling, they went straight to the railing and took the telescope from Xiang Yun's hand.

嘶

"This firepower is quite strong!"

Xu Hanwen stopped sighing, and saw on the screen that in the direction of Yuping Railway Station two or three kilometers away, there were flashes of dense flames accompanied by explosions!
