"I am Chu Zhongtian, an observer from the Jianghai Branch of the Ministry of National Security. The person in the car is my boss, Lieutenant Colonel Liang Jin. We were ordered to come here to check the status of material reserves." Chu Zhongtian said impatiently to the guard behind the iron gate. The person looked repeatedly at the certificate he handed in, still a little hesitant. This is one of the few weapons transfer warehouses that is still manned. Because there are not many supplies and the terrain is remote, Fang Jianguo did not even think that there is a squad of troops here. When they withdrew, they emptied an entire warehouse of ammunition. All the soldiers of the two detachments were equipped with weapons according to the maximum limit. Then Fang Jianguo ordered that all the remaining ammunition be moved underground, and then the entrances, exits and vents were poured with concrete. Sealed. This may be to have enough ammunition as supplies when returning to Jianghai in the future, but it undoubtedly gave Chu Zhongtian and Leng Suan a blow in the head. Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian still remembered that there was a temporary transfer equipment warehouse here, and brought them here to try their luck. "We haven't received any orders." The squad leader responsible for guarding the warehouse replied. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the phone system, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have to go there in person.¡± Chu Zhongtian said increasingly impatiently. "Which detachment are you from? Qingpu detachment or Nanpu detachment? Do you want me to call your detachment leader?" Leng Su'an honked the horn in the car. "Captain, what's the problem?" he asked loudly. "Hurry up!" Chu Zhongtian urged. The squad leader hesitated. People from the national security system could not control them originally, but after the disaster, people from the national security system did often go to various points to count the supplies to ensure that no one enriched themselves, stole or misappropriated them. The certificate handed in by Captain Chu Zhongtian was also authentic, but since yesterday afternoon, they had lost contact with the headquarters, and the squadron leader who was originally responsible for patrolling had never appeared, which gave him a bad feeling. "Squad leader?" The two soldiers standing by the door asked in embarrassment. Captain Chu looked a little angry. "Open the door," he said. The car drove in, and a woman got out of the car. She should be Lieutenant Colonel Liang Jin on the certificate, but she didn't look like a trained soldier. "Where are your people?" Chu Zhongtian asked. "There are four on duty at the two sentries in the northeast and southeast. The others are all here. Our class is not full." The squad leader replied. "Bring me the inventory of supplies." Chu Zhongtian ordered directly. This is also the normal procedure for people from the National Security Bureau to come to inspect. They are always arrogant and look down on others. The squad leader turned around and went to the warehouse to get the inventory. As soon as he turned around, someone pushed him down from behind. "Squad leader!" A soldier's cry came to his ears. He struggled to turn around. The two soldiers were also disarmed and pinned to the ground. "Who are you? Do you know that you are seeking death?" the squad leader said loudly. "Stick his mouth." Leng Su'an said. Wang Yuanzhen found a towel from the car and stuffed it into his mouth forcefully. "I'm not lying. We are indeed members of the National Security Bureau. The purpose of disarming you is to avoid unnecessary casualties due to misunderstanding." Chu Zhongtian gathered them together and explained the current situation to them. The squad leader¡¯s eyes were wide open with a look of disbelief, but the two little soldiers seemed to believe it. After explaining everything clearly, Chu Zhongtian motioned for them to let go. The squad leader and the two soldiers stood up. The squad leader pulled out the towel from his mouth and threw it to the ground. "The main force has either withdrawn or been dispersed. We are all stragglers who have broken away from the organization now. If we want to survive, we must gather the scattered troops." Chu Zhongtian stared into his eyes and said . "My military rank is higher than yours, and I already have command authority over you. It's just because we are not affiliated with the same unit that I used such a method. I hope you can understand." "Bah!" The squad leader spat at the ground. Chu Zhongtian was not angry either. "You have been guarding here. It is normal not to know the situation outside. But I don't need to lie to you. The firearms will be returned to you in a while. You can investigate by yourself whether it is the situation I mentioned. But in order to protect more people , We must requisition the supplies in this warehouse, and I also hope that you can bring your subordinates to join our team." "Give them back the guns," he said to Wang Yuanzhen and the others. Leng Su'an nodded slightly before they handed over the guns. Passed it over. The squad leader took the gun and looked at them silently, while the two soldiers stood there at a loss. ¡°They are not soldiers,¡± he said. "It's just a temporary reserve force, two of them are policemen." Chu Zhongtian replied."Lieutenant Colonel Liang and I are technical officers and have never actually held a gun. We gathered about three hundred people, but we did not have enough power to protect them, so I really hope you can join us." "I am from the Nanpu detachment, You said our detachment was broken up?" the squad leader continued to ask. "Deputy Commander Fang took away two detachments and some family members. I don't know which two detachments he took away. The other detachments were indeed dispersed." "Is your detachment leader a bearded man named Huang? "?" Leng Su'an asked. "Your political commissar's surname is Liu, and you are fat and wear glasses?" The squad leader nodded. ¡°They are all dead.¡± Leng Suan said. "I saw with my own eyes that your detachment leader turned into a monster. Political Commissar Liu and Captain Chen of the first team died together. I didn't see the others, but they probably didn't escape. Your Nanpu detachment happened to be responsible for cleaning up the People's Square That station is completely dominated by monsters.¡± The squad leader didn¡¯t say anything. He couldn¡¯t accept what Leng Suan said, but the names he mentioned were all consistent. "Are you a man? Can you tell me quickly! People are dying every minute now, and we don't have time to waste time with you!" Liang Jin said angrily from behind. "Just tell me, are you still a soldier? Do you want to obey orders?" The squad leader finally made up his mind. "We can listen to you for the time being, but if there is news from the detachment, we will go there and rendezvous immediately." "Okay." Chu Zhongtian laughed. As long as he passed the first level, he did not believe that he could not control them. . "What's your last name?" he asked. "Zhang Shouye." The squad leader replied. "Call everyone over here." Leng Suan finally let go of his worries. He took the list of supplies from Chu Zhongtian and almost laughed out of joy. Although it is just a transit warehouse that has been forgotten by the main force, the weapons inside are enough to arm an infantry battalion. **** "We'll be there soon." Zhao Dongyan whispered to Lin Chuan. He touched his daughter's forehead. It was still a little hot but the temperature had dropped a lot, which made his tense heart relax. Come down. "Don't talk." Lin Chuan replied in a low voice. He wiped away the rainwater that flowed from his head and blocked his sight with his hand, and firmly grasped the spear in his hand. The two of them carefully walked north along an alley. The ground was littered with debris from buildings. Broken glass and bloodstains could often be seen on the ground, reminding them that they must not take it lightly. They can often hear screams and gunshots in the distance. Whenever this happens, they carefully hide themselves. Monsters are very sensitive to the smell and sound of blood. At this time, you can always see or hear the monster running over there quickly. But in a way, it was these sacrifices that allowed them to get here safely. Every step they took was on thin ice. Even so, they had encountered four monsters along the way, twice with mutant cows, once with mutant dogs, and once with mutant humans. Fortunately, they had always been cautious, always paying attention to the wind direction and sounds around them. Before they left the restaurant, Lin Chuan even mixed the soil in the flower pot with rainwater and wiped it on his body. This may have had an effect, at least Zhao Dongyan felt their smell It should have been covered up a lot. The monsters walked past very close to them and did not notice them. The closest they got, the mutated dog was less than twenty meters away from them, and Zhao Dongyan could even see the festering sores on its body. Lin Chuan pointed to a hardware store in front of him. Passing through it, he could reach another street, which was very close to his destination. Lin Chuan walked slowly in front, and Zhao Dongyan followed behind with his daughter in his arms. He carefully avoided everything that might make a sound. This kind of mistake could bring death at any time at this time. Lin Chuan stopped, then squatted down at the door, and Zhao Dongyan walked over slowly. "What's wrong?" he asked in a small voice. "I can't make it." Lin Chuan replied biting his lower lip. A mutated pig was lying on the other side of the road, with a half-eaten corpse at its feet. It was humming happily and shaking its head from time to time, like a domestic pig that had just eaten its fill in a pigsty. But the two pairs of two-meter-long fangs at its mouth and the exposed dark red muscles that were extremely developed told them that it was definitely a dead end from here. Zhao Dongyan's heart also sank. They had already detoured once. Blocking the road at that intersection was a mutated cow. It was almost as high as a four-story building. They watched with their own eyes as it smashed the third-floor window with its horns. Then it uses its long tongue to roll out the people in the room and eat them. The two of them slowly returned to the hardware store, and Lin Chuan took out the map from his arms. "If we take another detour, we have to walk for at least half an hour." He said with a frown. "And we don't know if there will be monsters blocking the way." "What should we do?" Zhao Dongyan was now completely accustomed to relying on Lin Chuan's judgment. "Let's wait and see if we have any luck. Maybe someone will lure it away." Lin Chuan replied helplessly. This kind of thinking is very selfish, but there is no way around it. Many times, surviving is not because you do better than others, but because you have better luck than others. "How is Xinyi?" he asked. "The fever hasn't gone away yet, but it's much better." The girl blinked and said nothing. Lin Chuan smiled and touched her face and said, "Xinyi is so good. Don't worry. As long as you don't make any noise, your uncle and father will definitely take you to a safe place." "The girl nodded. The pig was still humming. It had laid down completely. There was a burst of gunfire in the distance, but it just moved its ears and did not make any other reaction. "It eats. full. Lin Chuan said in a low voice. The agricultural materials sold by their company are very miscellaneous, including seeds, agricultural machinery, pesticides, chemical fertilizers and feed. Lin Chuan also personally went to see the feeding situation of the feed, and the reactions of the captive pigs when they were full. That¡¯s it. ¡°Just a little while longer. "He said to Zhao Dongyan. "If its habits haven't changed much, as long as you don't disturb it, it shouldn't move. "He pointed to an alley diagonally opposite. "As long as we can enter that alley, it probably won't chase after us. The alley is so narrow that even if it sees us, it can't get in. " Zhao Dongyan nodded, and Lin Chuan's finger continued to draw on the map. "After passing through the alley, turn right. You can see a restaurant called 'Old Chef's Notes' within a dozen meters. Just go through the restaurant. You can see the intersection of Ru'an Street from the back door. Lin Chuan raised his head and said to Zhao Dongyan. "This is the last level. Is your physical strength good enough?" Otherwise, tie Xinyi to my back and I will run faster. " Although he was a little worried, Zhao Dongyan had to admit that this was a more appropriate way. The two of them carefully observed the movements of the pig while tying the girl behind Lin Chuan with a strip of cloth. He stood up and moved a few times. "Xinyi, don't be afraid, dad is here for everything." " Zhao Dongyan said softly. The pig was still humming, and Lin Chuan decided not to wait any longer. He looked at both ends of the street, and there was nothing suspicious. "Get ready" Lin Chuan stood at the door. " Walk! "He bent down and ran out. Zhao Dongyan followed him not far behind. A strong wind blew by, bringing raindrops towards them. They had to lower their heads to avoid the rain. Lin Chuan lowered his head and continued to move forward, but Zhao Dongyan's feet fell. Slowed down. ¡°Ahem! " Suddenly there was a slight cough from the front. The sound was deliberately suppressed, but it still broke out. " Cough, cough, cough! " Zhao Dongyan looked desperately in the direction of the mutated pig. It had climbed up and was turning its head to look this way. "Run! "Zhao Dongyan called out. Lin Chuan was running very fast. He was almost at the entrance of the alley, but Zhao Dongyan was still at least ten meters away. There was a roar from the side, and Zhao Dongyan didn't dare to look at the monster, for fear that he would be hurt by it. Frightened and losing the courage to move forward, he ran forward with all his strength. Lin Chuan had already entered the alley, turned to look at him, and shouted something. He saw his daughter's anxious face, and he felt something in his heart. He gained more courage and desire to survive. ¡°Hurry! "He heard Lin Chuan's voice shouting, so he lunged forward with all his strength. The mutant pig hit the entrance on the right side of the alley, and most of the house collapsed from the second floor down, destroying it. Pressed into the rubble, Zhao Dongyan lay dazed on the ground. The mutated pig almost brushed against his body, which made his feet weak and unable to get up for a long time. "My daughter started crying on Lin Chuan's back. Her face was red from suppressing it, but she still couldn't stop coughing. "Hurry up! Lin Chuan pulled him up from the ground. The mutated pig had emerged from the rubble. It shook its head and roared angrily.
