Chapter 171 The Fifth Night Comes(1/2)
In a military base, gray-green military trucks crashed into the roadblocks in front of them, like giant beasts breaking away from the reins, fierce and wild. The car was loaded with various weapons of mass destruction, weighing more than ten tons. So much ammunition was even enough to arm an armed force of hundreds of people; if these weapons were placed in some war-torn places, it would be able to completely change the situation of a small battle.
Fang Heng originally thought this was a military base, but he was wrong, because the surrounding facilities were not perfect, and even the fortifications and confidential facilities were not as good as the military base. According to the on-site observations of Cao Nian and Xu Nuo, they unanimously believed that this was just a temporary garrison. In order to fight against zombies and control the epidemic, a large number of troops entered New York, and this was just one of many bases. However, compared with other garrisons, the scale of this garrison was much larger. The reason why Fang Heng made a mistake in his judgment was largely intimidated by the scale here.
In order to deal with zombies, the guns had basically been taken away by the soldiers in the huge arsenal, but there were many weapons such as grenades. Cao Nian couldn't even remember how many boxes of grenades he had moved, perhaps dozens or hundreds of boxes.
"Fang Heng has copied the antidote of the virus." Cao Nian said, "It seems that we have more hope for victory."
Xu Nuo said: "I'm a little worried that the antidote can work on ordinary zombies, but can it still work for those high-level zombies?"
"This—" Cao Nian pondered: "In Fang Heng's words, whether it is a lord-level zombie or an ordinary zombie, the source of their power is the x virus. Once the x virus is destroyed, their power will no longer exist, and there should be no big problem."
"Has Fang Heng not conducted the test?"
"He didn't say it, who knows? Maybe he did it, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident when he spoke." Just now, when Cao Nian and Fang Heng were talking, the latter still swears, "Everything is in control." Cao Nian didn't think much about Fang Heng's words. After all, things have reached this point, and they have all made plans to give it a try. It seems that there is no other way except to believe Fang Heng.
Cao Nian paused for a moment and then asked, "What day has this been our first time in this world?"
"What do you want to ask this?" Xu Nuo sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel that was extremely inconsistent with her temperament. A woman driving such a tough truck was like a child riding a tall horse and charging into battle, which made people feel absurd and even more funny.
"Because I feel like these few days have passed very quickly - it's like a movie with a very fast pace and no peeing point at all." Cao Nian said with emotion, "However, I think this movie should end. I just don't know if it's a comedy or a tragedy this time."
Xu Nuo frowned and glanced at Cao Nian, as if he was not satisfied with Cao Nian's words at all, "Are you afraid?"
Cao Nian said helplessly: "Of course I'm afraid that there are only seven of us in total. If any of them die, it will be a major blow to us. Our family property is so big, but it cannot withstand this kind of consumption."
Xu Nuo was unhappy; "Listen to you, it's like someone will definitely sacrifice us."
The gray-green truck did not drive towards the villa in the suburbs.
The meeting place that Fang Heng and them agreed to meet is the exit of a subway station.
After driving for nearly an hour, a large truck rushed around the road, causing harm to countless vehicles parked on the road.
Finally, I arrived at the agreed place.
Fang Heng sat on a bench on the street, holding a chocolate pie in his hand, and a file bag beside him. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, like an office worker waiting for a car here. This guy's clothing style has always been like this, and it is the only difference from before, his "original body" - glasses mounted on the bridge of his nose. The transparent flat glasses have now turned into black sunglasses. It is precisely because of this pair of glasses that makes Fang Heng's temperament strange, between a killer and a blind man playing the erhu on the roadside. Beside Fang Heng, there is a tall man standing, holding a large black umbrella in his hand to block the sunshine for Fang Heng. Zorro and Fang Heng are together, which can be said to be a very strange pair, with their eyes cold and ruthless, and there is no emotion in their words.
When the truck stopped, Zorro, who was standing next to Fang Heng, handed the black umbrella to Fang Heng, and then he slowly walked to the side of the car.
Cao Nian was already used to the weirdness of Fang Heng, so he was not surprised to see this scene, but walked to Fang Heng's side as usual and asked, "Now it's time to talk about your plans--"
Fang Heng held the chocolate pie in one hand and the umbrella in the other, which was not very convenient, so he handed the umbrella to Cao Nian without hesitation. Cao Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and held it for Fang Heng. Cao Nian felt helpless, why did he, the captain, become this guy's servant now?
It’s about four o’clock in the afternoon, and the error will not pass five minutes. The sunlight is actually not very strong. However, Fang Heng felt very disgusted with the sunlight and was unwilling to expose himself to the sunlight.
With Cao Nian holding an umbrella, Fang Heng ate and drank leisurely, replenished his energy, and then slowly said: "Well, since you want to know, I will tell you."
Cao Nian muttered, "Can you stop using this tone of 'I will tell you with great compassion'? It seems like I'm begging you."
"First - with the underground zombie group as the center, there are about twenty subway entrances and exits within a three-kilometer range. The first step we have to do is to destroy these entrances." Fang Heng said.
"You asked us to make explosives for this?" Cao Nian was puzzled.
Xu Nuo asked, "Blow up these entrances, how should we go in and kill that guy?"
If the entrance is blown up, the zombies will not be able to come out, and they will not be able to get in, and the task will basically fail.
Fang Heng said: "No, it's not that they are buried underground, but that they are locked outside."
Cao Nian and Xu Nuo looked at each other, not understanding what Fang Heng meant. They felt that they and Fang Heng were not on the same channel at all.
Fang Heng explained patiently: "Ordinary zombies are enslaved by zombie lords. Although they are very weak in front of the lords, in fact, these ordinary zombies are quite disturbing to us, so when hunting the lords, we need to clear these miscellaneous soldiers first. We need to create a combat environment without external interference in the end!"
Just like the rpg game, next to the boss, there are always a group of miscellaneous soldiers who can interfere with you. Although the combat power of these minions may not be high, they can often affect your skill release. Maybe if you accidentally, your ultimate move will be put on the soldiers. Therefore, if they want to successfully complete this task, they need to do first, which is to solve the soldiers as quickly as possible.
"When most of the zombies are locked outside, we have enough time to fight with the big guy." Fang Heng said, "Although I have prepared a lot of methods, I cannot guarantee that I will kill that guy in a short time, so we need time."
Cao Nian was not stupid either. After understanding the whole story, he agreed with Fang Heng's method.
But he was also a little confused: "Why don't you just use these bombs to kill that guy?"
A few rockets cannot kill the zombie lord, and Cao Nian does not believe that more than ten tons of high-explosive explosives cannot kill it.
"Silly - First, how do you want to put these bombs next to it without being revealed? And, if you use bombs to alert the snake and let that guy escape, how do we find it in this huge underground world? You know, we only have two days left. Furthermore, if these bombs explode and the ground collapses, but the zombie lord is not dead, what should we do? More than ten meters of soil will press on it, forming a barrier that we cannot penetrate, and we will completely lose the opportunity to hunt it."
Cao Nian was speechless by Fang Heng's words. Indeed, he had never considered so many things.
Xu Nuo asked, "So what's next? Without interference, what should we use to kill it?"
Fang Heng opened the suitcase next to him.
"All killer moves are here." A cold light appeared in Fang Heng's eyes. Several test tubes of different colors were placed in the small suitcase. Obviously, each of them had different functions, but Fang Heng did not explain it carefully, otherwise it would take a lot of time.
Zorro walked to the three of them at this time: "The bomb timing device has been completed - we can go to the next subway entrance."
Fang Heng closed the briefcase and said to Cao Nian and Xu Nuo: "Let's go."
In addition to their military trucks, there was also a red sports car parked on the street. This car was the one given to them by the Shura Squad. Chen Lang drove away, so this car was their last means of transportation. Of course, they could also choose any car on the street as a means of transportation. But in that case, they had to be mentally prepared, because these long-term abandoned vehicles may break out or break down at any time.
After Fang Heng and Zoro got on the bus, Cao Nian and Xu Nuo also returned to the military truck.
It was still some time before dark, but they had a lot of work to do, so in order to put all the bombs tonight, it was necessary to speed up. Military trucks opened the road in front, and red sports cars followed behind.
The military truck continued to rush around, and Xu Nuo suddenly said to Cao Nian: "Did you smell a special smell just now?"
Cao Nian nodded: "It seems to be from Fang Heng. That guy seems to be a little sulky. He even uses perfume. But he should be trying to cover up the smell on his body so that he will not be caught by zombies."
Xu Nuo thought, she murmured to herself.
Perfume? Not like it...
Considering that he would not be able to arrive in Vermont in the evening, after some calculations, Robert followed the Fatty's advice and decided to leave tomorrow, and to rest in New York City tonight. Of course, this night will be their last night in New York. The next time he returns here, I don't know when it will be - of course, there is a great possibility that humans have defeated the virus, started to come out of the mountains and ridges, and returned to the city.
Except for Robert, the group was relaxed. Anna and Ethan thought of returning to the crowd tomorrow and no longer had to worry every day, so they kept thanking God for their kindness. Zhang Yang and others couldn't wait to end this trial and wanted to return to the main world as soon as possible. Although no one was so happy that they danced, this joy was hidden and unconcealed.
Robert was in New York, but when he thought of leaving, he didn't know what to take.
From a certain perspective, he felt that there was no need to take anything away, so he let the place remain as it was, and this would be the best ending.
It's almost dark now.
Some people have returned to their rooms to rest, while others are still watching movies in the living room.
The movie played now was selected by Chu Jianqing from Robert's collection. This movie tells a touching love story. It has a poetic Chinese translation called "The Unforgettable Dream of the Bridge".
"This kind of movie about love is a movie - I really don't know what it means." After watching it halfway, Zhang Yang was already drowsy.
He turned his head and looked around, and now only he and Chu Jianqing were left here.
Fatty and Chen Lang didn’t know where to go, so there were probably some new arrangements.
Robert took Sam back to the second floor, and Anna also took Ethan back to the room.
"If you can't understand, don't talk. You guy with an insane mind." Chu Jianqing replied to Zhang Yang's mean words this morning to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You girl is so stingy. How long has it been, and you still hold a grudge--"
Chu Jianqing wiped his tears and watched the movie intently. He was extremely sad about the plot inside, but he didn't have any affection in his mouth: "It's only been less than nine hours now, so you're counting on me to forget it? Tell you, there's no point in talking here now. If you don't watch it, just pull it down. Don't talk in my ear, it's annoying to listen."
Zhang Yang was driven away by Chu Jianqing and left in shame with his tail between his legs.
The basement was dark, with only two emergency lights on, showing insignificant light. It was so quiet that two sounds could be heard - the breathing of two zombies at the ends. The sound rang in the dark, which made people feel a little cold, but fortunately, except for Robert often coming in and out, others have little leisure to come here.
After being injected with the antidote of the virus under a low temperature environment, the ordinary female zombie has gradually recovered its human characteristics, such as heartbeat, blood oxygen content and body temperature. Although its skin still has a different color than normal people, it has changed greatly compared to the grayish whiteness before. Of course, in addition to these physiological characteristics, the aggressiveness of this zombie has also decreased a lot, and it no longer requires a large amount of sedatives to keep her quiet like before.
But the lord-level zombie who was locked in the depths of the laboratory is different.
Although this guy has been injected with a large amount of sedatives and has been lying on the hospital bed for nearly a day. Robert injected it with viral antibodies several times, but the effect has been very little. At least, the guy's physiological characteristics have not changed significantly. It seems that this drug is not effective for all zombies, so Robert is a little discouraged by his research.
The basement door was suddenly opened.
A black shadow suddenly came in and then quietly closed the door. All this was born between lightning and fire. If it weren't for waiting at the door, it would never have been revealed.
The figure who sneaked into the laboratory was very familiar with the situation inside, so he came directly to the deepest part of the laboratory.
He did not turn on the light because he had the awareness of being a thief, that is, everything must be carried out in secret. He is no longer an ordinary person, but a thief who cannot stand the light.
Although there are only two yellow emergency lights on in the laboratory, this light that is better than nothing has no effect on others. From the perspective of ordinary people, the situation here is still pitch black, but this is not the case for this figure.
Because this person's pupils are not like ordinary people, but a vertical yellow pupil, like some kind of monster, able to focus on the light in the dark and see things in the dark. Of course, his sense of smell and vision are equally keen. If it weren't for the strong smell of chemicals in the air here, he wouldn't even need to open his eyes to move freely here.
The thief skillfully touched the next to the refrigerator, opened the freezer, and looked at the several sealed reagents stored inside, and smiled. These were the antidotes to the x-virus. When Robert was conducting the experiment, the measurements he made were enough for him to conduct more than a dozen experiments, so even if some were used, many reagents with the same components were still retained in the freezer. These reagents were the key to saving humans and being embarrassed!
The thief took out a tube of reagent from it, put it into his clothes, and then prepared to close the freezer, but he hesitated for a moment, then took out two tubes of reagent from it. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the cabinet door and turned around to leave.
However, the moment he turned his head, the female zombie lying on the hospital bed suddenly sat up.
"Don't move!"
Then, a gun hit the thief's head.
It turned out that it was not a zombie, but Robert. He looked at the shadow in the dark with a serious face, waiting for the man to speak.
But the figure just stood quietly and said nothing.
"Who are you? Zhang Yang or No. 21?" Robert couldn't tell the identity, "No, you can't be No. 21."
This figure is tall, completely different from the short and fat guy No. 21.
In the darkness, Robert didn't know who he was facing, but he knew that anyone who was thinking about the antidote would not be a good person.
"I thought you were having a problem from the beginning - it was really a shame," said Robert. "You can keep silent, but I don't think it's useful, Mr. Thieves."
"It's not a gentleman - it's me, Zhang Yang."
