Chapter 79: Expedition to Hucheng, Crisis on the Way (I)
On the second day, the escort army assembled outside the city. Six tanks were at the front of the team and three tanks were at the end of the team. Reading is different from previous expeditions. This time there are dozens of medium-sized trucks parked neatly next to the escort. A few of them are vehicles for hauling ammunition and fuel, but most of them are used to transport soldiers.
All trucks have been modified, not only to increase the strength of the body, but also to install three light machine guns. Therefore, they are not moving targets, but have a certain combat effectiveness.
There were twenty-two armored personnel carriers parked in front of these medium-sized trucks, all of which were used to transport soldiers. As for Luo Ren, he still rode his own off-road vehicle.
Luo Ren leaned half out of the sunroof of the off-road vehicle, and then shouted, "Let's go!"
After giving the order, the escorts quickly boarded the vehicles and marched in the direction of Hu City.
Su Antong and Luo Ren were riding in an off-road vehicle together. She was a woman, so it was definitely inappropriate to be crowded together with a group of big men. Although Luo Ren firmly believed that the guardsmen would not have any evil thoughts, there was always a difference between men and women. It would be better to let Su Antong ride with him.
The speed of vehicles is faster than walking on two feet. The journey that used to take four or five hours now takes nearly half of it in less than an hour.
On the off-road vehicle, Su Antong suddenly asked: "Brother Ren, are you sure we can destroy Hu City this time?"
Luo Ren confidently pointed to the front tank and asked, "With that thing, how can little Hucheng be defeated?"
His confidence is justified. Hu Cheng's most powerful weapon is just a few rocket launchers. Don't say that his trump card has not been revealed. You must know that attacking the base is not child's play. Facing a four-meter-high concrete city wall, Hu Tianruo If you have stronger weapons, you will inevitably use them, because unless you can completely crush them in a war, you have to use all your strength in the first shot and end the battle quickly, so as not to give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
Su Antong looked in the direction of Luo Ren's finger and saw the tank that looked like a giant steel beast. She couldn't help but recall the scene where the bungalow outside the city was razed to the ground yesterday, and she suddenly felt a little more confident. Then she looked at the armored vehicle behind the tank. A heavy machine gun was installed on the roof of the armored vehicle. At the same time, during the assembly today, she also saw someone in the escort holding a rocket launcher. Thinking of this kind of force, her confidence increased. A lot of growth.
At the same time, I also understood why Luo Ren refused his suggestion to recruit a resident army. It’s true that there are not many soldiers, but the best!
The convoy was driving all the way, and it was already halfway through the journey. It should reach Hu City in about an hour. Luo Ren closed his eyes slightly, thinking about how rich Hu Tian's expression would be when the escort troops came to the city.
And after Hu City was breached, what kind of expressions would Hu Tian have and what kind of actions would he do at the same time? Did he kneel down and beg for mercy, or did he just drink a bullet and commit suicide, showing a trace of the heroic spirit in troubled times?
squeak--
At this moment, the car suddenly stopped, the harsh brakes sounded one after another, and Luo Ren's eyes suddenly opened.
Sizzling——
The intercom in the car emitted the sound of electricity, and then Luoshan's voice came, "Sir, the road ahead needs to pass through a town, and there may be dangers inside. Should we take a detour or continue moving forward?"
Luo Ren said: "Keep going."
Luo Shandao: "Yes!"
After Luo Ren finished speaking, he continued to lean on his seat and closed his eyes to rest. At the same time, he thought to himself, "What kind of danger can there be in a small town? Even if there are a few level 1 zombies, with my current strength, I can't do that without using anti-equipment snipers or heavy machine guns." There’s no pressure at all.”
The convoy drove into the town. Su Antong, who was sitting next to Luo Ren, lowered the window and observed the environment outside. He couldn't help but frown. The atmosphere here was really strange. Logically speaking, such a small town is a densely populated place, and there must be people there. There were many zombies wandering around, but she didn't see a single zombie. If there were no zombies on the street they were walking on, the movement of the convoy was so loud. In addition, the zombies on the street should have been attracted, but there was no such thing. .
At the same time, her eyes scanned the surrounding houses, and she couldn't help but become more worried. She pushed Luo Ren and said, "Wake up quickly, I feel something is wrong."
Luo Ren slowly opened his eyes, looked at Su Antong and said, "What's wrong?"
"After entering the town, I observed all the way. There were no traces of fighting such as bullet holes on the buildings on both sides of the street. That means the town has not been cleaned up by humans. But in this case, there is not a single zombie. Don't you think so? Do you think it's strange?" Su Antong said, pointing out the window.
Luo Ren looked out the window. Sure enough, as Su Antong said, there was no trace of fighting or zombies, and there were no bones on the ground. This scene can be explained by the fact that there are many residents in the house before the end of the world, but in this case Now it seems a little weird.
He lowered his car window and looked outside. The same thing happened. There were no signs of fighting or zombies. So he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Luoshan Luoshan, are we leaving the town?"
Soon Luoshan's voice came over the intercom, "Sir, we expect to leave the town in three minutes."
Luo Ren said: "Speed up and leave the town."
Luo Shandao: "Yes!"
Luo Ren put down the walkie-talkie, gave Su Antong a reassuring smile, and said: "It's okay. Maybe this town was an empty city before, and no one lived in it. Naturally, there are no zombies, and we will be there in three minutes."
roar--
Wow——
Before he finished speaking, a roar similar to that of an animal suddenly sounded, followed by a sound of shattering on both sides of the road. The doors and windows of the houses and buildings were broken one after another, and a large number of zombies rushed to the convoy from the houses and other streets.
Luo Ren was shocked. At the same time, Luo Shan's anxious voice came from the intercom, "Report to the commander, we are surrounded by a large number of zombies. Please order a counterattack!"
Luo Ren immediately ordered, "Tanks lead the way, and the rest of the vehicles shoot and kill the zombies!"
Da da da da...
The gunshots rang out instantly, but the streets of the town were very narrow, and the zombies came suddenly. At this moment, many zombies had already pounced on the troop carrier. Fortunately, the troop carrier body had increased strength, and these ordinary zombies could not break through for a while.
Bang!
A zombie fell on the off-road vehicle, and Luo Ren drew his saber and directly pierced the zombie's head.
Although it was attacked by a group of zombies, it could not hinder the convoy's progress, but the speed was a little slower.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire spread throughout the convoy. Luo Ren looked forward and saw smoke coming out of the muzzle of a tank. This shocked him. The tank actually fired. Could it be the evolved zombies?
At the same time, Luo Shan's anxious voice came from the intercom again, "Sir, a large number of evolved zombies suddenly appeared in front!"
Not only Luo Ren, but everyone in the car was extremely shocked. The word "large number" was used to describe the evolved zombies!
