#221 - Chapter 221 Oil Base Clearance
Time rewinds back to the morning.
Li Bowen's team, heading to Zhu City, quickly got onto the highway after leaving the base.
They were fortunate to avoid the zombie horde converging on the Green Source Base.
After entering the highway, they advanced towards Zhu City at full speed.
Since they had already been to this city, there were naturally no obstacles along the way.
The journey was relatively smooth.
Occasionally, they encountered some survivors on the highway heading towards Fenghe County.
They had no interaction with those humans.
Seeing their fully armed vehicles and the armed personnel inside, the others knew they were a terrifying group.
They didn't dare to provoke them at all.
They quickly fled in a panic.
Li Bowen and Chen Junchi naturally didn't want to create any trouble on the road; the mission was the priority.
They needed to reach the oil refining area by the sea in Zhu City today and quickly establish simple defenses; otherwise, spending the night would be a bit troublesome.
Of course, it would only be a bit troublesome.
The vehicles they drove had been reinforced in various ways, so even if they were surrounded by zombies at night, they wouldn't need to worry too much.
As long as no mutated zombies appeared.
So, it was best to establish defenses in the Zhu City oil refining area first for the night.
This journey was approximately 400 kilometers.
Driving non-stop, they departed at just after 6:00 AM and exited the highway at around 11:00 AM, continuing on the national highway to their destination.
They didn't encounter any problems on the national highway either. Thanks to the noise reduction of their vehicles, they mostly ran over the few zombies they encountered, and not many were attracted.
Around 1:00 PM, they arrived about one kilometer away from their destination.
This time, Qin Jin wasn't with the team, so they had to handle everything themselves.
It was still that classic tactic.
They directly sent out a military drone to scout first, while the others stayed in the convoy to rest and have lunch.
Inside one of the explosion-proof vehicles, Chen Junchi and Li Bowen were staring at the display screen, watching the images captured by the drone.
"Looks like it's the same as yesterday, nothing has changed, so let's get to work!"
Chen Junchi said to Li Bowen while eating a bucket of instant noodles with slurping sounds, still watching the screen.
Li Bowen also finished his meal and was watching the video. Hearing his teammate's words, he naturally had no objections.
Soon, another drone was sent out to attract the zombies, still using that classic tactic.
Needless to say, it was effective.
Twenty minutes passed, and after attracting about a hundred zombies, the combat team easily eliminated them.
After confirming that there were no more problems inside, the entire convoy of 12 vehicles began to enter the oil extraction point.
This was a relatively rare oil field in Guangnan Province, but its reserves were small, so it wasn't well-known within the province.
In the peaceful past, people wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to such a place that had little to do with them.
Except for someone like Qin Jin, who had a purpose in mind.
As a resource extraction point, especially for oil, the lifeblood of industry, it naturally had a certain need for privacy.
The area covered more than 100,000 square meters, with one part bordering the sea and the other surrounded by a wall more than two meters high.
In peaceful times, this height was acceptable, but now it was definitely not enough.
After the convoy entered, the team members quickly took action.
The combat troops, along with the newly recruited support personnel, split into several small teams and began clearing the buildings.
Wang Bin also led some personnel to guard the convoy.
The combat personnel, who used to be naive, had long become capable of handling things independently after countless training sessions over the past six months.
Holding silenced firearms, they entered the buildings like elite soldiers, killing the remaining zombies one by one!
"Attention all units! This is the warehouse area! Suspected mutated zombie! Need backup!"
Not long after, a request for help came from a team member's walkie-talkie!
Some team members who could spare themselves immediately rushed over to assist!
They had practiced this kind of emergency countless times, so they naturally wouldn't panic.
Li Bowen was also on his way, and he was the fastest.
In less than a minute, he arrived at the location of the team member who called for help.
This was a large warehouse, covering an area of several thousand square meters, with a height of seven or eight meters. It was previously used to store unknown items.
At this time, the team member who called for help and other members of the small team were standing at the warehouse door, carefully guarding the inside with their guns.
Seeing Captain Li arrive, one of them quickly explained:
"Captain, there should be a mutated zombie here! After we entered, we saw a black shadow moving very fast! It jumped up to two stories high!"
"Because the warehouse was too dark and it was too fast, we didn't see its specific appearance clearly before quickly retreating because we were worried about accidents!"
Li Bowen nodded in agreement. The team members did the right thing.
This is reality.
It's impossible to be like in the movies, knowing there's a problem inside and still risking taking your team inside, only to be ambushed by enemies hiding in the dark!
Retreating first to inform teammates and then finding a way to solve it together is the correct approach!
Li Bowen praised:
"Very good!"
Then, he took out the walkie-talkie and gave instructions.
"Bring over the glow sticks, high-powered lights, infrared tactical glasses, stun grenades, capture nets, and Gatling gun!"
"Also, bring Yao Lei with the heavy sniper rifle!!"
Having suffered from the Charger last time, they were naturally prepared.
Faced with this seemingly unseen mutated zombie, Li Bowen chose to bring out all his strength!
Soon, Chen Junchi and other team members arrived with the weapons.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Bowen made a gesture to move.
Immediately, someone threw high-powered lights and glow sticks inside.
The pitch-black warehouse suddenly lit up with multiple light sources, dispelling all the darkness inside!
That's not all!
Immediately, more team members threw stun grenades inside.
It was unknown what was specifically stored inside, so it was impossible to use bombs.
After a few muffled sounds, the team members rushed into the warehouse like tigers and wolves with various weapons. Yao Lei and several team members with excellent marksmanship had already set up their heavy sniper rifles. Once the team members encountered problems, their large-caliber bullets would tear apart all enemies!
Li Bowen didn't stop either and stepped into the warehouse together.
As soon as he entered, he saw various materials, including steel, wooden boards, and some plastic products. It seemed that this place was previously used to store miscellaneous items.
"There!"
Li Bowen had the best eyesight. While speaking, he had already raised his machine gun and fired!
The figure was moving quickly about twenty meters away from him, jumping several meters high when it ran near the wall!
Everyone else saw that the position the figure jumped towards was a window!
It wants to escape!
