Chapter 1068 Sneaking and spying, the storm is coming

the next day.

Sunny and breezy.

Although the temperature is still more than ten degrees below zero, it is still very comfortable to be exposed to the sun.

Two cars left the horse market.

Although it has snowed for a long time and the road is now covered with ice and snow, it can still be distinguished on some national highways.

There are some street trees and buildings on both sides of the national highway. Although there is ice and snow in the white space in the middle, it is at least still possible to drive.

Zhou Sheng was sitting in the car at the back, drowsy.

Crossing his arms, he said to the men driving the vehicle in front:

"Er Ming, please follow the route we planned yesterday. There is plenty of time. Try to walk as slowly as possible. If you find anything unusual, stop the car and wake me up. I will take a nap first."

Er Ming nodded and said, "Brother Sheng, don't worry, have a good rest."

This morning, considering the possibility of being discovered, two white SUVs were temporarily used for camouflage.

And the non-white parts of the outside of the car are wrapped with white cloth. Except for the windshield, the entire car has a white appearance.

Relatively speaking, the effect is quite good, especially when the distance is relatively long. Under the cover of white ice and snow everywhere, the two vehicles cannot be seen from a distance.

Boom boom!

The vehicle did not take a straight line from Ma Shi to Oil City, but made a half-circle, first arriving at Shixian County to the east of Oil City, and then to the vicinity of Oil City.

The distance has doubled from the original 170 kilometers to 340 kilometers.

But there was a lot of time left for them. Eight hours during the day was enough for them to reach the vicinity of Oil City.

There was ice and snow all along the way, and the snow tires made a crunching sound as they rolled over.

Although the snow has melted into ice, two faint car marks will still be left behind when vehicles drive by.

The vehicle was swaying, and Zhou Sheng slept comfortably in the vehicle. When he woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Where are we?" Zhou Sheng yawned and asked.

Er Ming pointed to a blue sign on the upper right and said: "Drive 10 kilometers further and you will reach Shixian County. It is about 80 kilometers away from the Oil City."

Zhou Sheng rolled down the car window and let the cold air from outside blow in.

His whole body was shaken by the cold air.

"The speed is quite fast. Didn't you find anything abnormal?" Zhou Sheng asked.

A man sitting next to him with a gun said: "No, I didn't even see an animal on the road. I only saw a dozen zombies here and there."

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng's eyes showed thought, and then he said:

"Don't go to Shi County, go directly to Oil City. We'll have to check the situation after we get there."

"good."

Er Ming stepped on the accelerator and drove the vehicle in the direction of Oil City.

Oil City.

He Ma and Hua Chen flew into the sky in a helicopter for routine patrol.

The helicopter flies high up and has a very wide field of view.

But while the ice and snow are not melting yet, there is also a fatal problem.

The ground is all white.

And because the helicopter is so high, a car overlooking the ground is almost the same size as an ant.

If the helicopter flies lower, the detection range can only be reduced and the efficiency will be reduced a lot.

They flew helicopters mainly to conduct reconnaissance in the north, because if someone from the Northern Federation came, they would most likely come from that way.

There is no heating in the helicopter, and there are some gaps in the helicopter. The temperature at high altitude is lower than that on the ground. When staying in the helicopter, some cold wind blows in, making people feel bitingly cold.

Hua Chen's hands and feet were numb from the cold, so he said to He Ma: "It's almost done, let's go back!"

"No, let's go around in a circle and go back. We've only looked in the north and haven't looked in other directions yet," He Ma refused.

Hua Chen sighed and said:

"To be honest, I feel there is something wrong with this patrol method. On such a cold day, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and we can't see clearly in the white color. And the patrol coverage radius is so large, we can only patrol roughly, even if we really send people It’s here, and there’s a high chance we’ll miss it!”

He Ma knew that what Hua Chen said made sense, but there was nothing he could do about it.

No one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. No matter how strict the security is, there will still be loopholes.

"Follow the order." He Ma advised.

"OK."

Hua Chen turned the helicopter around and flew southeast. He wanted to make a circle.

after an hour.

The advance team sent by Sima Xi suddenly stopped the car.

"Brother Sheng, there is a helicopter on the left rear, what should I do?" Er Ming opened the car window, stuck his head out and looked behind him and said.

Zhou Sheng immediately looked back and above, and sure enough, a helicopter appeared in the sky behind them on the left. The helicopter should be still far away from them, and it looked like only a small black dot.

"Don't stop the car, drive to the woods on the left! Quick!" Zhou Sheng said quickly.

"good!"

Er Ming hurriedly drove to the woods on the left, followed by another car.

"Stop the car, turn off the engine, and don't move!" Zhou Sheng said immediately.

The vehicle drove to a halt under several big trees.

Er Ming stopped the car and looked up at the tree crown above his head.

A thick layer of frost has condensed on the tree crown, layer upon layer. Looking down from the sky, nothing can be seen.

They watched helicopters fly hundreds of meters above their heads.

Everyone in the vehicle didn't dare to take a breath and stared straight into the air.

five minutes later.

There was only the sound of wind in the air, and occasionally there was the sound of one or two ice ridges coming down from the trees.

call--

"You shouldn't have noticed us, right?" Er Ming asked.

Zhou Sheng frowned and said to a subordinate sitting next to him: "Get out of the car and take a look outside."

The man sitting next to him squeezed the gun in his hand and walked out of the car.

swish swish——

He walked on the ice and snow, looking carefully at the sky.

After walking several hundred meters, there was still no trace of the helicopter.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.

But when he turned around, he was distressed to find that he couldn't find the vehicle.

So I had to pick up the walkie-talkie to contact: "Brother Sheng, I can't find you."

After Zhou Sheng heard what he said, he couldn't help but cursed.

Then he said: "Just fucking let you look around, who asked you to run so far!"

Then he said to Er Ming: "You still remember how to drive the car back to the road, right? Don't tell me you are lost!"

Er Ming said quickly: "Remember, you just drove to the left, you just need to drive to the right."

"Um!"

Subsequently, Erming started the vehicle and drove to the right.

The subordinate who went out to see the situation discovered the car behind him.

In a static situation, there is ice and snow everywhere and it is impossible to see clearly.

So he took off his white coat, revealing the black clothes underneath, and waved his hands toward the vehicle.

At the same time, Er Ming also discovered him and drove over.

The vehicle drove up to him.

Snap!

The car door opened.

"Get in the car!" Zhou Sheng said angrily.

"Oh." The subordinate who had just got off the car got into the car with some embarrassment, and then put on his coat.

He had just taken off his thick coat, and within a short time he was so cold that he had a runny nose.

The vehicle returns to its starting position.

Looking at the road ahead, Er Ming turned to Zhou Sheng and asked, "Brother Sheng, what should we do next?"

Zhou Sheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "How far is it from Oil City?"

"."

Er Ming looked embarrassed and replied: "I really don't know about this. We don't have a navigation, but depending on the speed of the vehicle, we should be about thirty kilometers away from the Oil City."

"Thirty kilometers? Can you see if there are any mountains near Oil City?"

Er Ming opened the map of Henan Province and looked at it for a long time before saying: "This area is mostly plains with very few mountains and only two hills. There is a Jinniu Mountain to the north of the Oil City and a Lei Zhen Mountain to the south, with an altitude of less than 100 meters."

Zhou Sheng murmured: "Thirty kilometers, the distance is already very close."

A flash of thought flashed through his eyes, and he said to Er Ming: "Don't take the main road anymore. Drive the car into the woods and walk alongside the main road."

"OK."

Er Ming stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto a small road.

The road surface is not easy to walk on, there are many potholes, and you will get stuck in them if you are not careful.

After driving for less than half an hour, Er Ming saw a small slope appearing in front of him on the left.

He instantly slowed down and said to Zhou Sheng behind him: "We should be at the foot of Lei Zhen Mountain. Should we go around and continue to approach Oil City?"

Zhou Sheng sat up straight and said to Er Ming, "Give me the map."

Er Ming gave Zhou Sheng the map in his hand.

Zhou Sheng looked carefully and saw that according to the scale, it was only fifteen kilometers away from the Dazhangshu base.

Think again and again.

He pushed the car door open.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was not so bright anymore.

Trampling on the ice and snow, he slowly climbed up the mountain.

The hillside was less than 100 meters above sea level. It took him about ten minutes to climb up the hillside.

Climb to the top of the hill and look ahead.

A huge and wide plain, all covered in ice and snow.

Only a few kilometers away from the frozen river, there is a building that seems a bit awkward on the right side.

The wall, which is more than ten meters high, is particularly obvious in this world of ice and snow.

He stepped on the ice and snow, holding on to a tree with his hands, feeling very excited.

"That should be Oil City!"

He picked up his telescope and set it to its maximum magnification to observe carefully.

There are tall oil derricks, and people can even be seen standing on them on the fence.

However, it was extremely blurry, and only a rough outline could be seen, but the face could not be clearly seen.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Er Ming, park your car at the foot of the hillside...remember to find a hidden place, we will be here tonight!"

After Er Ming heard Zhou Sheng's words in the car, he quickly asked: "Brother Sheng, have we seen that oil city?"

"Haha, yes! But for safety's sake, let's not get too close. Let's stay in the forest."

Zhou Sheng was in a good mood. Even though it was a little cold now, they had found the Oil City.

It was getting late, and it was getting dark at half past four.

They didn't turn on the lights, and after observing the hillside for a while, they all returned to the car.

"Listen, a few things!"

"Although we are in the mountains, there is no guarantee that there will be zombies at night. We will keep an eye on them in pairs. Once a zombie is found, we will kill it immediately. No guns allowed, no guns allowed! No guns allowed! Understand. No?"

"clear!"

"The second thing is, you can't turn on the lights. There are only four night vision devices, so give them to the people on duty, as well as Er Ming and Daming. Even if you don't sleep tonight, you have to get through it for me!"

"The third thing! As soon as it gets light tomorrow, Daming, drive your vehicle as quickly as possible to find the main force, tell Wang De and others about the situation here, and ask them to come over!"

Daming nodded heavily and said: "Understood!"

Zhou Sheng glanced at Daming, and then said: "Don't keep an eye on me tonight. Just have a good night's sleep. There will be a tough battle tomorrow!"

The night is getting darker.

Their two cars were parked next to a boulder at the foot of the hillside, with a huge tree in front of them.

This tree is very tall, but it seems that it has been struck by lightning before.

But the tree has a strong vitality. After being struck by lightning, it grew some branches.

These branches were now covered with frost.

Silent dark night.

The car window is closed, leaving only a slight gap for ventilation.

Through this slight gap, the breath slowly flows out.

Two zombies emerged from nowhere.

He walked toward them unsteadily.

Oil City.

Huang Lianke controlled the drone to patrol near Oil City as usual.

After the UAV has been upgraded, its combat endurance has reached 20 to 30 kilometers.

But even when controlling a drone, they still have to observe it with the naked eye.

Searching every day is also very tiring for the eyes.

Buzz——

Huang Lianke rubbed his eyes, walked out of the sentry tower, picked up the drone that flew to the wall, and walked under the wall.

On the way, I met Xiao He who was handing over. Huang Lianke said, "I've already looked at the north side. You can check out the other directions later."

"What's the range?"

"ten kilometers."

"OK."

"I'm going to charge it," Huang Lianke pointed at the drone.

"become!"

Everything in Oil City seemed to be going on as usual.

In the conference room.

Sizzle.

Ju Tianrui heard a voice coming from the intercom.

"This is the outpost of National Highway 107 in the north. No abnormalities were found today."

Ju Tianrui said: "Copy that! Xiao Tan, please continue to watch, don't let down your guard. If anything happens, report it at any time."

"Understood, battalion commander."

"By the way, did you see He Ma's helicopter today?" Ju Tianrui asked.

"I saw it."

"Um."

Ju Tianrui plugged the walkie-talkie back into his chest and stared blankly at the light bulb.

I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling flustered these past few days.

"Last time, Chen Er said that Mr. Hu wanted to make an appointment with our city lord. In three days it will be time for the transaction. Maybe they, Mr. Hu, will come together. We have to talk to the city lord about this matter so that he can be mentally prepared." Dongtai Looking at the schedule, he suddenly said to Ju Tianrui.

"Ah, okay, you can tell me about it later when you report to Da Zhangshu Base." Ju Tianrui woke up from his daze.

"Battal Commander, don't you say it yourself?" Dongtai replied when he saw Ju Tianrui take down the telescope hanging from the wall, got up and walked outside the conference room, and quickly added: "Where are you going?"

Ju Tianrui didn't look back, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to take a walk on the wall."
