Chapter 25 Black Tide
The metal box is dark, the size of a palm. A white card is quietly lying in the box, flashing with a trace of metallic luster. The card is only the size of a nail, square, and looks like an inconspicuous piece of metal. However, Richemont understands that this thing is definitely of great importance. Otherwise, Haijing's "big figure" would not have gone to much trouble to retrieve the card.
After putting away the box, Richemon then opened the personal terminal in the next room and found the password and permission card mentioned by the "big man".
At the same time, he also found the "life-saving news" mentioned by the other party.
This is a video message. In the holographic image, a middle-aged woman in a professional attire explains something in front of an electronic map of the Red Star Republic. Below the electronic map, there is a small red star badge with a knife and a gun intersecting, which clearly states: The Provisional Government of the Red Star Republic of Haijing.
"Based on the previous mass activity trajectory of zombies, we can conclude that in two days, large-scale zombie groups scattered in small towns and villages in various places will gather in urban ruins in various places, with an overall number of about 2 billion. We call it the zombie tide. Haijing and the existing urban strongholds will also become the destinations of zombie tides and may withstand larger impacts. The following is the zombie tide situation chart."
Then, on the electronic map beside the woman, red dots were distributed on the entire map of the Red Star Republic, and the number of red dots in the places where those big cities were once located was obviously much higher. However, compared with the locations of the big cities, there were no red dots in other vast areas of the Red Star Republic.
"Each red dot represents a large community of 100,000 zombies, and what follows is the dynamics of the next two days."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw the red dots on the electronic map beginning to move slowly and gather towards some specific places.
Although the movement speed of these red dots on the map seems to be slower, Richemont understands that the movement speed of these corpses is not much slower than that of vehicles. You should know that the territory of the Red Star Republic is vast, and the distance of one centimeter on the map may be hundreds of kilometers in reality.
Moreover, where these red dots gather are the ruins of the city and the remains of the city strongholds that humans now live.
The Gang City is also on the list! A scarlet red is moving quickly from the west to the Gang City!
Two days later on the map, the original location of the big city was covered with dense red dots, while the towns and wilderness were basically blank.
The place where Gangcheng is located has also turned into scarlet red. Roughly speaking, there are at least five million zombies!
Richmond couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart, as if he had seen zombies covering the sky and the sun crawling across the entire steel city. Among them, the number of evolutionary zombies has reached an amazing level.
He immediately looked to the lower right corner of the screen, and the time displayed there was the night before yesterday, which means that he and Yang Yi had only half a day left!
Maybe it's only two or three hours!
Richmond's face was gloomy, and Yang Yi also understood what was about to happen, but he was not panicked, but was waiting for Richmond to make an idea. Since he met Richmond, he has been very optimistic about Richmond's actions. In his opinion, no matter what happened, Richmond will definitely come up with an idea and escape safely.
"Let's leave now, the faster the better. Go to the suburbs of the city to find a car and drive away." In a blink of an eye, Richemont had already come up with his ideas.
They did it as soon as they said that, and the two found another secret room, the secret gun warehouse of the Gangcheng government, and began to carry guns and ammunition inside frantically.
"Mad Bee" automatic rifle, "Thunder 2" shotgun, Desert Eagle L, grenade, bulletproof vest, night vision instrument, Richemont and Yang Yi plundered it, and everyone was armed to their teeth. I don't know what the secret gun library of the Gangcheng government is used for. It can be said that all kinds of light weapons and armor can be found.
Could it be that the officials of the Gangcheng government wanted to rebel with these things? Just as this funny thought flashed through his mind, Richmond shook his head. No matter what he was going to do, it didn't matter now.
Fortunately, the two of them have evolved significantly now. Otherwise, they would have been exhausted before they even walked out.
After being covered in weapons, Richemont and Yang Yi immediately left the building where the Gangcheng Government was located.
The building is located in the center of Gangcheng, while Zeyang City is located on the east side of Gangcheng. They now have to cross half of the city to leave the city.
After a while, the two of them came to the neighborhood where the Black Dragon Club was again.
This street is only 200 meters long and not as wide as the building is only twenty meters wide. It looks like a small paradise. All ordinary zombies have been killed, and the outside cannot enter at all. Naturally, those evolutionary zombies do not know that in their opinion, there will be a group of food hidden inside, so they will not appear.
Originally, Rifeng didn't want to have any involvement with these people anymore, but Yang Yi thought it would be better to tell them. Besides, the two of them happened to go along, so they came here again.
When Richemont and Yang Yi crossed over a pile of stones and appeared on the street, more than 30 young men and women here were actually having a bonfire party in the middle of the street, and they were baking some cans and other things.
Seeing Richmond and Yang Yi appear, these people did not show any joy, but instead stood up quickly, put their hands behind their backs, looking at Richmond and the two men were bulging around their waists, obviously hiding pistols, and the women also looked at Richmond with resentment, quietly pinching the knife in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Richmond couldn't help but sneer in his heart. When he just saved these people, their gratitude for them might be sincere, but when their positions quickly changed and they thought they could gain a foothold in this end of the world, human selfish nature immediately gained the upper hand.
Obviously, they have formed a small interest group now, and Rifeng and Yang Yi cannot join again.
You should know that if you have two more mouths and eat less food in the supermarket, you may need to eat less food for a few days.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, a young man in a green shirt on the head smiled dryly and said, "Hehe, that... that, are the two benefactors back? Have you eaten? I wonder what the price is to do?"
Yang Yi also understood what these people were thinking and immediately said with a cold face: "In a little while, there will be a tide of corpses in Gangcheng. If you don't want to die, it's better to leave here."
"What kind of corpse tide... I just want to occupy this place by myself..." Yang Yi just finished speaking, a sinister voice immediately came from the crowd.
Then another person whispered: "That's right, just look at how many of us dare not take action, so we came up with such an idea..."
"You..." Yang Yi was immediately furious when he heard this and was about to rush forward to argue with them.
"Oh..." Rifeng grabbed Yang Yi with an expressionless face: "Let's go." After that, he didn't even look at those people, and walked directly across the street and walked out from the other end. From beginning to end, these people looked at them with a look of alert.
When Richemont and Yang Yi left the street and walked away completely, a thin young man wearing glasses next to him said carefully: "Is it a bit too much for us to do this? And, will what they said be true..."
"What a f*ck! I just want to scare us away! Humph, too much? In this world, only ruthless can we survive!" said the green shirt, "Did you forget how powerful the Black Dragon will be?"
"That's right, and that Yang Yi is not afraid of being bitten by a zombie. That Richemont peak is even more cruel. Who knows what kind of monster they are..." said a woman with heavy makeup.
"If anyone can't bear it, just give them your rations." The green shirt glanced at the week and said.
Hearing this, everyone else lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Why, are you still angry?" When she was about to reach the suburbs of the city, seeing that Yang Yi was still gloomy and did not speak, Rifeng couldn't help but smile and said jokingly.
"No... I just think it's not worth it... I shouldn't have saved those bastards at the beginning." Yang Yi said angrily. Although he is kind-hearted, he has his own bottom line, that is, he can be ungrateful, but he should be punished with revenge.
Richmond laughed, reached out and rubbed Yang Yi's head, and said, "You kid, don't be stubborn. There is a saying that you say, never fight with a fool, because he will pull your IQ to the same level as him, and then use his years of experience as fools to defeat you."
"Next time I encounter this situation..." Richmond narrowed his eyes, "It's all killed."
Although such an unpleasant episode happened, the two of them did not slow down. They arrived at the outskirts of the city soon, and there were obviously fewer zombies here. When they passed by a small supermarket, Rifeng and the other two rushed in and searched for a lot. Each of them carried a large package of about the same size as their bodies and walked out.
Seeing that the number of zombies on the street was much smaller and the abandoned vehicles did not completely block the road, Richemont immediately found a car with a sufficient fuel tank, threw all its backpacks on it, and after igniting, they started the engine.
At the same time, in the steel city behind them, bursts of howling like a devil in the abyss came suddenly, and it came from a long way under the gloomy sky. Looking around, there were tide-like black shadows appearing on the tall buildings in the western city, constantly rolling towards the entire city.
And just around Richemont and the others, the zombies who were originally aimlessly wandering, as if they had received some order, began to walk towards the city at the same time.
Yang Yi picked up the telescope and suddenly discovered that the black shadows were strange zombies that had evolved!
Chapter completed!
