Chapter 868 There is no good or bad in the last days, only benefits

Lao Qin continued: "Judging from the video alone, the way these people stand and walk does not look like someone who has served as a soldier."

The third uncle nodded, then turned to Xiao Jun and said:

"When was the last time you saw those people?"

Xiao Jun looked at his watch and then said: "I saw it at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It is now 11:40 in the morning, nearly 20 hours."

Twenty hours have passed, and it is actually more difficult to find them.

But if those people are still nearby, Third Uncle is very confident that he can find those people.

The third uncle pondered for a while and said to Lao Bi and Xiao Jun:

"The 155 heavy artillery was brought in and assembled immediately. In addition, drones were used to patrol around the oil city 24 hours a day. No matter whether those people are friends or foes, we must remain vigilant!"

"Yes, captain." The two stood up straight and saluted their third uncle and said in unison.

The third uncle played the video and saw that Ant and Jackal had filled up the helicopter's aviation kerosene, and they had also moved the cans brought to Oil City from the Da Zhangshu Base.

So he said to Lao Bi and the others: "Okay, let's go out and see if those people are still nearby. You go and do your own business first!"

"By the way, Xiao Jun, come with us and take us to the place you saw yesterday."

"Okay." Xiao Jun followed directly behind his third uncle without saying a word.

After saying that, the third uncle got on the helicopter with Lao Qin and others.

Lao Bi looked at his third uncle's back and hesitated to speak.

He also knows what is going on now. Maybe Oil City is being targeted. Oil City currently needs strength. It may not be appropriate for him to propose returning to Da Zhangshu Base at this stage.

He sighed, shook his head, and ran to assemble the heavy cannon.

In the helicopter, Jackal saw Xiao Jun coming up and nodded towards him.

The third uncle said to Xiao Jun: "You point the direction, we will go there."

Xiao Jun began to direct the direction and flew towards the road where they saw the group of people yesterday.

The helicopter's speed was very fast, and soon they arrived at the place where the people were found, twenty kilometers away from the oil city.

This place is located at the urban-rural fringe, a county below Xin City.

Low houses, ruins, and construction debris everywhere.

They first circled around to see if they could spot the group from yesterday.

After flying in circles for a few minutes, it was determined that there was no sign of anyone.

The third uncle gestured to the jackal to get down. The jackal understood it instantly, and then controlled the helicopter to fly downwards.

After the typhoon and rain, a lot of silt was knocked out, causing the original cement roads and asphalt roads to be covered with a thick layer of dust.

The helicopter landed and kicked up a huge cloud of dust, like a small sandstorm.

Boom!

The helicopter landed slowly. The third uncle covered his nose and led Xiao Jun and others down.

After getting off the helicopter, the third uncle looked ahead. The picture ahead was similar to what he just saw in the video.

The third uncle walked slowly, holding a gun in his hand, looking around while walking forward.

The others following him maintained their formation and looked around vigilantly.

One minute later.

The third uncle and others came to the place where those people were yesterday. The third uncle squatted down, looked at the ruts on the ground, and then walked along the ruts for more than ten steps.

Suddenly he squatted down, touched a drop of fuel on the ground and sniffed it, his eyes flickered.

He stood up and asked Xiao Jun behind him: "You said they went east yesterday?"

"Yes, I don't know if they left because they found us, or for other reasons, but I did see through the drone that they were heading east."

"Yeah." The third uncle nodded lightly.

Then let everyone spread out and search around to see if they can find any clues.

They searched around but found no valuable clues.

"Let's go east and take a look." Third uncle stood up and said to everyone.

The third uncle and others got into the helicopter and continued flying east.

The helicopter flies to an altitude of about one thousand meters, which is the safest and most stable altitude for helicopters.

It is also helpful to observe the following situation.

If there are seven or eight military trucks walking on the ground, they can still be spotted from the air.

In this way, they flew at a constant speed. From time to time, the third uncle would let the helicopter fly below to check the rut marks, and then after confirming, continue flying eastward.

Along the way, Uncle San relied on his powerful reconnaissance capabilities to keep flying in one direction.

Another hour later.

They are nearly three hundred kilometers away from the oil city.

The third uncle and others on the plane were very surprised. It was already three hundred kilometers away. Where were these people going?

The third uncle was even more curious. These people came all the way to Oil City and then just left? What if this is tourism?

soon.

After continuing to fly for dozens of kilometers, the third uncle asked Jackal to stop the helicopter. While having someone refill the helicopter with diesel, he continued to squat down and check the traces on the ground.

"Those are the same cars. It looks like they are going all the way to the east."

The third uncle frowned, the curiosity in his heart getting stronger.

Who are these people? They just came and left without saying hello. What do you mean?

"Captain, we are in Luzhou now. If we fly further east, we will probably reach the boundary of Jinling soon." Ant saw the fallen sign on the road and said to his third uncle.

The third uncle raised his eyebrows and said, "If I don't understand it clearly, I feel uneasy. I'll tell Xiaoyu about the current situation here."

After saying that, he got on the helicopter and told Li Yu about the situation on his side.

Li Yu was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that Third Uncle and the others could track down Jinling. Since they were all going to Jinling, they could basically determine which southern paradise it was.

Based on his understanding of Southern Paradise, at least the third uncle driving the helicopter should not be in any great danger.

However, Li Yu still asked Third Uncle and the others to be careful not to get too close and not to be exposed for the time being.

The third uncle expressed his understanding and told Li Yu not to worry.

Li Yu, who was far away at the Da Zhangshu base, felt a little excited.

In the previous life, he could only briefly join the Southern Paradise as a member of the lowest level, but now he has a powerful force. He doesn't have to stoop down to survive, and he doesn't have to scramble among the crowd when the zombie wave arrives. He ran away in panic.

The other side.

Third Uncle put the radio down, and then said to Jackal: "Jackal, let's go, keep going!"

Buzz buzz——

The helicopter roared and flew eastward.

Maintaining an altitude of one thousand meters, the aircraft is very stable.

Jinling Jiangnan has a long history.

Soon, they arrived at Jinling.

Looking down from the sky, the ground below is in chaos.

The water network is densely covered.

There is only a basic frame left in the high-rise buildings, and some even have half of them collapsed, looking like they are about to fall down at any time.

Except for high-rise buildings, the remaining houses are basically in ruins, and there is almost no intact house in sight.

It's not clear what the original road looked like on the ground, it's all mud and dust.

In the sunshine, this area is filled with the smell of death.

Suddenly, Xiao Jun pointed to the distance and said to the people behind him: "Look over there, there are those cars!"

The third uncle immediately sat up straight and looked at the direction Xiao Jun was pointing.

Sure enough, more than ten kilometers away, seven or eight cars were speeding towards the road. The road was not easy to walk and the vehicles were bumpy.

The third uncle remembered Li Yu's instructions, so he said to Jackal: "Jackal, raise the helicopter to three thousand meters."

"Okay." After hearing this, the jackal hurriedly operated.

Everyone in the plane grasped the armrests tightly to bear the pressure of lifting.

Soon, after they soared to three thousand kilometers, although the cars on the ground could still be seen, they were basically no different from ants.

The third uncle picked up the military telescope, turned it up to the highest magnification, and looked over there.

The helicopter continued to follow.

soon.

Third Uncle and others used telescopes to see a huge city wall below.

Ming city wall!

It is 4 to 5 meters wide and 14 meters high. It is still standing after hundreds of years.

"Hiss! So many people!" Xiao Jun took a telescope and gasped after seeing the scene outside the city wall below.

Outside the city, there are densely packed simple sheds and houses made of wood and stones. At most, they can only block the rain. Even if the rain is heavy, it can get in.

There were so many people that almost all the wooden houses were leaning against the outside of the city wall.

You can still vaguely see some of these people building sheds.

These people were in ragged clothes and with haggard faces, like walking corpses.

Outside the city wall, there are many potholes, and mud and water splash everywhere when you step on them.

There were several corpses lying on the ground inside and outside the shack, but the people passing by ignored them completely, as if they couldn't see these corpses.

Several wild dogs ran over and ate the corpse.

But immediately, several people nearby put a condom around the dog's neck.

A pot was set up on the spot and the dog meat was cooked. Many people saw the few people eating dog meat and swarmed over to snatch it.

Over a pot of dog meat, hundreds of people quarreled and fought.

Many people died, but the defenders standing on the city wall didn't seem to care.

No one stopped the fight, no one stopped the quarrel, no one disposed of the dead bodies.

Everything is chaotic and disorderly.

Under the watchful eye of the third uncle, the seven or eight cars stopped in front of the gate under the city wall.

Roadblocks were set up on both sides of the road, and seven or eight people with guns were on duty.

Soon, the city wall gate opened, and the seven or eight cars drove in with a roar.

Everyone on the helicopter was amazed.

To be honest, after the apocalypse broke out, they had never seen so many people or such a large base, not even the Western Alliance.

The Western Conference seems worthless in front of this unknown force.

"There are at least tens of thousands of people here, right?" Ant looked at this scene in horror and said to everyone.

"But there seem to be very few people inside the wall." said Lao Qin, who was sitting next to the ants.

"What are those people doing? They seem to be fighting?"

"Captain, I observed that there are heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the wall, and there are twenty people in total." Ant said to the third uncle.

The third uncle nodded slightly, then immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down the layout and prevention and control points below.

I’ll tell you what you don’t need later, but draw it first in case it comes in handy.

The helicopter hovered in the sky for a while. Ten minutes later, the third uncle said to the jackal: "Leave here first."

Buzz buzz——

The scene just now made the third uncle's brain keep thinking.

"You just saw the city wall. How many people do you think are inside the wall?" asked the third uncle.

Ant narrowed his eyes and said: "There are very few people inside the city wall, less than one-tenth of those outside, and it is estimated that there are only two thousand people at most."

The third uncle said: "There are tens of thousands of people outside the wall, but these people seem to be unable to enter the city wall. And if you look at the state of those people, they are almost the same as the walking dead. I even saw corpses just now, but the surroundings seemed No one cares about this.”

"This shows one thing, the people inside the city wall don't care about the life and death of the people outside the city wall!"

"Yes, captain, I was just observing the farmland within the wall, and it seems that it was also hit by a typhoon. In addition, I feel that the size of the farmland is too small compared to the number of people, only less than a hundred acres." Qin nodded and said.

"Then what should we do next?" Ant looked at Third Uncle and asked.

The third uncle frowned. To be honest, he didn't know how to face this base now.

The most important thing is that he did not understand whether these people were friends or enemies.

But he can be sure of one thing. He didn't find a helicopter or a landing pad at this base just now.

In this case, they at least have absolute air supremacy.

"Let's go back to Oil City first," the third uncle said.

"Okay." Jackal flew in the direction of the helicopter.

On the way, the third uncle told Li Yu what he saw.

After Li Yu heard the scene described by his third uncle, it overlapped with the scene in his memory.

He was not surprised when he heard that there were tens of thousands of people outside the city walls.

Because he knew that there were more people outside there before.

Just all dead.

Although population is important in the last days, it is definitely not the most important.

It's even a drag sometimes.

After all, there are many people, no food, and no way to feed them, so they can only become a burden.

He knows that Southern Paradise, although its name is Paradise.

However, it is only called paradise for people living within the city walls, but it is hell on earth for people outside.

Even when heavy rains and typhoons arrive, the people inside will not open the city gates to let outsiders in.

The reason is simple, there are too many people and it’s crazy and they can’t control it.

It is undeniable that such an approach can protect the people in the city.

The people in the city never cared about the survivors living in shanties outside the city.

But the survivors living in shantytowns took refuge nearby.

Why?

When it rains heavily, they disperse in droves and run away for cover.

When it doesn't rain, it's safer to go back to this shack, at least at night, when there are people around.

The more people there are, the more peace of mind there is.

I always feel like I won’t be the first to die.

Li Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of the memories of his previous life.

Sometimes, people always long to have others pity them.

There are so many people outside the city wall. Why do people in the city not open the door to save people every time it rains? Why do they still return here after every rainstorm despite countless begging and expectations.

Just for that elusive hope, I hope that I can get lucky and reach the sky in one step.

Longing for the gates to be opened to let them in.

Desire to be a city man.

Countless lessons told them that it was impossible, they couldn't get in, and the people in the city wouldn't care whether they lived or died.

However, they never give up.

They are a group of people who place their hopes on others.

Some people came and some people left.

But the city gate has never been opened for them.
