Chapter 198: Communication with survivors

The ambulance finally entered the interception line of the gas station. After entering the gas station, the special operations team also learned about the situation inside the gas station.

There are a total of 32 vehicles and 66 survivors here, the majority of whom are women and children, and there are only 21 adult men. All of them escaped from the small town of Cochrane where the special operations team airborne.

The number of firearms per capita in the Electric Eel Country is much lower than that of the superpower next door. Among this group of survivors, only a small number of people own thermal weapons, and many of them are small weapons obtained from the police station.

There are also policemen in this team, and their uniforms are still well worn, but they all obey the old man who leads them.

The identity of the leader of the old man was also learned from other people's inquiries. He was once the sergeant of the police station. After his retirement, he encountered the outbreak of the parasite crisis, which was considered bad luck.

In the convenience store of the gas station, the black captain and the retired old police chief were together as they got out of the car. There were other survivors who were awakened in the convenience store. After knowing that professionals were coming, they all gathered here and prepared. Listen to the exchange afterwards.

"Gibbs, you can call me Gibbs." The old sheriff introduced himself.

The black captain put the muzzle of his gun on the ground, then reached out and took off his full-covered helmet, revealing a face under the helmet that almost blended into the dim environment, and a pair of bright eyes, "Antoine, directly Just call me by my name, I’m the leader of the rescue team ☞♦  ♦♦”

When the black captain Antoine took off his helmet, Sheriff Gibbs suddenly thought that he was wearing a mask under his helmet. When he looked closely, he realized that it was Nico... His expression turned a lot worse at that time.

The old Chief Gibbs experienced a period in the 20th century when he had an undisguised hatred of black people. At that time, people often made remarks that black people brought infectious diseases. Even now, such remarks are not uncommon. Sheriff Gibbs, who grew up in that environment, still had some prejudice against black people.

Not only the old police chief, but also the young men, women and children who were watching had strange expressions on their faces.

"Okay, tell me your purpose."

The keen Antoine noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of Chief Gibbs and the people around him. Having received a higher education, he naturally understood the reason for this. He did not care about it and said: "My team members have told you. However, we are a joint rescue team, and our purpose is naturally to save more lives."

Hearing this, Chief Gibbs jeered, "United? I think you are more like the American army! It sounds so nice, why didn't you show up ten days ago? So many people are already dead now, right? Do you want to annex the land here to the United States?”

After that, he looked at the young people around him. After seeing the surprise and confusion on their faces, he nodded slightly with satisfaction.

These young people still need to be taught by old comrades. Today’s world is much more dangerous than the previous anti-foreign policy. Just this outfit and a few empty words will make them believe it, and they will die in the future without knowing!

The special operations force decided to act in the name of the alliance, and naturally considered the situation of being questioned by ordinary people. Antoine answered without any hesitation: "Because this is not the most severely affected place, and now the entire planet has exploded. There are at least six severe infectious diseases that can turn people into zombies. We need to help countries and regions that ban guns, and entering disaster areas to rescue people is not the most urgent thing.”

Ten days ago was the early stage of the outbreak of the parasite crisis. The 2G network and the TV sets that not every household had had a great impact on the circulation speed of international news. His words successfully made the confident Gibbs laugh. The sergeant was stunned.

The other young people who were suspicious were also corrected by Antoine's explanation and continued to wait for the next step.

"Saving lives is not the most urgent thing? What else is more important than human life? Gold in the bank?"

It didn't take long for Sheriff Gibbs to hold back a few more questions. He stared at Antoine with a pair of tiger eyes. For the sake of face and rationality, he had to ask questions clearly.

Let’s see, which bullshit reason for joining forces is more important, or human life?

"You misunderstood." Antoine shook his head slightly and explained: "Human life is indeed the most important... If we want more people to survive in this crisis that covers the entire planet, the armies of various countries have no choice. They are going all out to rescue the people, and the things they have to deal with are far more complicated and urgent than rescuing people.”

Sheriff Gibbs said in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"The five viruses, as well as the parasites here, target not only humans, but all species on the earth."

What Antoine said is actually the current real situation of various countries. The military needs to think more about the long term.

"All livestock and poultry in pastures and farms need to be slaughtered and frozen. Farms also need to be maintained. Food sources, weapons manufacturing factories, nuclear power plants and infrastructure that cannot cause accidents, the transfer of important equipment and the control of high-risk areas The epidemic does not spread... Everyone is busy. There are billions of people on this planet. After the collapse of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the breakdown of the global trade chain, no matter how many people are saved, the survivors will soon be Killing each other for food and clean water.”

Having said this, Antoine took another deep breath and exhaled, "Maybe you don't know yet, but there have been a large number of mutated individuals among the zombies, and they are soldiers with ordinary strength..."

"No, we know and have seen..."

After several rounds of explanations, Sheriff Gibbs finally bowed his head heavily. When he talked about mutants, he raised his head again, finally putting aside his slight prejudice against black people and looking at Antoine, "We saw several kinds when we escaped from the town."

"How many?"

"Yes, there are several kinds of bitches!"

The relatively fresh memory was recounted in Sheriff Gibbs's mouth. That was the direct object they were forced to escape from the town.

The monsters described include the four-handed zombies that the special operations team already knew, and the long-necked zombies that screamed.

In addition to these two, Sheriff Gibbs also mentioned a third special mutant individual, which was a mutant whose height was forcibly raised. In the description, their right hand or left hand has been alienated into an ugly and thick object.

It is no different from an arm without five fingers. They will use that thick arm to charge at the crowd...

Because the mutant zombies are much taller than humans, and their torsos are slender, and their arms are extra thick, bullets shot at them are often blocked by their arms full of tumors and cysts.

Their slender bodies can still swing an arm as big as their torsos. Even a car will be vulnerable to the blows of these tall mutants' thick arms.

Their bodies have been transformed very thoroughly by parasites. The muscle density of that arm is as exaggerated as the legs of a four-handed zombie that can jump more than ten meters away in an instant. Their strength and defense capabilities are very amazing.
