Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1679 Northwest Reconnaissance Team, Retreat!

The night deepens.

northwest.

The cold wind blows.

The temperature in the northwest has dropped a lot recently, with the temperature dropping to minus seven or eight degrees Celsius at night.

Heishou and Zheng Shiwu have been stationed here for more than two months.

Their original mission was to stay here for three months, but the time has not yet arrived.

During the day, the communications personnel at the Oil City Communications Office kept calling them, but they were unsuccessful.

In order to save power on the radio station, Black Hand and his comrades would only turn it on when they needed to contact Oil City.

They usually contact Oil City once every two days, and in the evening after they finish their reconnaissance.

In the cellar,
The squeaking sound of the hand-operated flashlight continued.

"Old Zheng, what happened at the northwest base during the day? Are you sure it was wall-climbing zombies?" The black hand pressed the flashlight, and the light from the flashlight flickered.

Zheng Shiwu opened the box, turned on the radio, put the headset on his head and said:
"Sure, although I don't know why the wall-climbing zombies would come out during the day, but they are indeed wall-climbing zombies!"

"Don't talk anymore. I have to contact Oil City and report this situation."

"Oh."

Blackhand stared at the wall of the cellar in a daze, thinking of the scene he saw in the northwest base a few hours ago, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He saw with his own eyes that the two wall-climbing zombies climbed onto the wall of the northwest base, bit anyone they saw, and mutated into zombies in a very short time.

If it weren’t for the captain on duty who brought people to support in time, the wall of the Northwest Base would probably have been completely lost.

But in just that brief moment, they paid the price of dozens of deaths.

There are only two wall-climbing zombies. If more wall-climbing zombies come, the wall will probably be lost.

The reason why two wall-climbing zombies could cause such a powerful force was because they thought that wall-climbing zombies would only appear at night, and the gloomy weather made the vision not very good.

So their guards didn't notice the situation under the wall and let down their guard.

If the zombies climbing the wall come out during the day, then if they continue to investigate
The risk is too high.

And now it is difficult to get water, so they have to go out.

Ugh.
I don’t know what to do now.

Just when he was worrying about what to do next.

There was a sound of electricity nearby.

sizzle-

"I am Zheng Shiwu from the reconnaissance team, calling Oil City"

After calling two or three times, Zheng Shiwu still received no response, so he carried the box to the entrance of the cellar.

He climbed up the ladder to the cellar, held the ladder with one hand, and used the other hand to push open the cover on top, creating a small gap.

Then climbed down.

call--

"Blackhand, come here, bring the UV light and turn it on."

He was worried that if the cellar cover was opened, the smell of the two people would spread out and attract zombies climbing up the wall.

Turning on the UV light is for self-protection.

Black Hand naturally understood his thoughts, stopped pressing the flashlight, and walked over with the ultraviolet lamp.

A purple-blue light lit up in this dark cellar.

Zheng Shiwu held the radio and repeated the call just now.

A minute later, there was a reply.

"I'm in Oil City, and I finally got in touch with you."

Chen Siyu from the Oil City Communications Office said excitedly:

"Latest notice: Wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day. Reconnaissance missions are suspended. Please return to Oil City immediately."

Upon hearing the news from Oil City, Zheng Shiwu was stunned for a few seconds.

But he quickly realized that the appearance of wall-climbing zombies in the northwest base during the day was not an exception.

This situation has been discovered in oil cities thousands of kilometers away.

After reacting, Zheng Shiwu quickly said:
"Got it. Also, when we were investigating the Northwest Base today, we found two wall-climbing zombies climbing up the wall of the Northwest Base and causing dozens of deaths."

He originally wanted to warn Oil City that the wall-climbing zombies would appear during the day.

Unexpectedly, Oil City knew about this situation before them.

Chen Siyu quickly said:

"Okay. In addition, it's too far for you to rush back from the northwest, and there's also the danger of zombies climbing the wall. Considering these issues, in order to allow you to return to the trading market safely."

"Oil City has decided to send a helicopter to Xishi to pick you up. Please make sure to keep in touch during the journey and don't lose contact."

When Zheng Shiwu heard Chen Siyu say this, his face lit up with joy. He had just been worrying about how he would get back such a long distance.

Now we only need to go to Xishi, which means the distance is shortened by half.

"Got it. We will set off to return to the trading market tomorrow."

"How is your supply situation now?"

"We still have enough food and fuel. The main problem is the lack of water, but we can find a way to get water."

"Do you have any other intelligence to share?"

"No, I mainly wanted to report on the zombies that appeared on the wall during the day, but you already knew that."

"Okay, be safe, we'll be waiting for you at the trade fair."

"Ok."

Zheng Shiwu took off his headset, his face showing excitement.

Since Zheng Shiwu was wearing a headset, Black Hand did not hear the voice from Oil City. He just got the general idea from what Zheng Shiwu said and asked:
"What's the matter? Did the Oil City ask us to go back?"

"Correct."

Zheng Shiwu nodded and said:

"Wall-climbing zombies have been found in Oil City, so let's suspend the mission and go back directly."

"It's so far away, and there are wall-climbing zombies everywhere. It's too dangerous to go back." Black Hand was a little worried.

"How about we wait a little longer?"

"What are we waiting for! We can all go back, why are we still staying here! It's so dangerous here, there is no need for us to stay here." Zheng Shiwu said with a frown.

"What are you thinking about? Why don't you want to go back?" Zheng Shiwu asked again.

Black Hand thought of the two zombies that climbed the wall during the day, and said with a serious expression:

"We're two thousand kilometers away from here, and wall-climbing zombies could appear at any time. It's too dangerous!"

"We still have more than two months' worth of food here, so why not stay here and wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Zheng Shiwu asked.

Blackhand smacked his lips and said:
"With such thick clouds, it could rain or snow at any time. What if it rains or snows on our way back?"

"We can go back after the rain and snow stop and the sun comes out. We still have more than two months' worth of food."

When Heishou and Zheng Shiwu came out, due to the long journey, in order to avoid various accidents, the supplies prepared for them were all saturated.

For example, two people were on a mission for three months, so the food prepared for them was five months. These foods were individual combat rations found at the Wu City military base, such as compressed biscuits, which were small in size, long in storage, and easy to carry.

Black Hand didn't want to return to Oil City immediately because he had his concerns.

After all, it is getting darker and darker, and there are wall-climbing zombies. They used to only appear at night, but now they come out during the day.

The journey back was destined to be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the clouds are so thick that it could rain or snow at any time. If a natural disaster strikes on the road,
After hearing what he said, Zheng Shiwu took a deep breath and said earnestly:
"We have to go back!"

"You're right about one thing. We don't know when a natural disaster will come, but do you know how long it will last? If it lasts for several months like a thunderstorm, we won't be able to survive with such a small amount of food. We will still starve to death in the end!"

"Besides, we are so close to the Northwest Base. We are worried every day. If we are discovered by them one day, it will be very difficult for us to escape!"

"If you go back, you may not die. But if you stay, you will definitely die!"

Under the ultraviolet light, Zheng Shiwu's face appeared purple-blue, which was a bit strange.

Blackhand hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, but we need a plan."

"We have to plan a route back. I don't want to be discovered and chased by the people from Wuyuan Mountain on the way here."

"Well, help me take the map out of the bag, and we'll plan a return route." Seeing that Heishou finally agreed, Zheng Shiwu pointed to the bag behind Heishou and said.

Afterwards, Zheng Shiwu put away the radio, climbed up the ladder, and moved the cover of the cellar back.

In the cellar.

The two of them got together, studying the map and planning a return route.

Wu City Military Base.

After a day of traveling, the transport team arrived here to rest.

During the day, Li Qi received news from Oil City about the wall-climbing zombies, and immediately withdrew the patrol personnel on the top of the mountain back to the base.

And closed the gates of the military base.

It was not until the evening when Zuo Ruxue and others from the transport brigade arrived that they opened the gate of the military base.

night.

Zuo Ruxue, Song Qi and others gathered together to chat.

They looked serious and were not in a good mood.

"Sister Zuo, did you have a smooth journey here?" Li Qi asked, breaking the silence.

Zuo Ruxue smiled bitterly and said:

"It was a smooth journey! We encountered three waves of wall-climbing zombies on the way. If there hadn't been drones patrolling in the air and killing the zombies in advance, the convoy would have been in trouble."

"Ah? Isn't there an ultraviolet lamp?" Song Qi asked puzzledly.

Xiao Hu said with a gloomy face:
"Wall-climbing zombies don't appear alone. They often appear with ordinary zombies. Ordinary zombies are not afraid of ultraviolet lamps. If a group of ordinary zombies get close to a vehicle, they may destroy the ultraviolet lamp or block it. This gives the wall-climbing zombies a chance."

"It sounds so dangerous. Are you going to continue transporting?" Li Qi asked.

"want."

Xiao Hu sighed and said, "The food supply between the headquarters base and the northern border has not been completely transported yet. We probably need to make another round trip, otherwise the food supply in the oil city will not be enough."

"How can it not be enough? Haven't we already delivered 1 tons?" Li Qi asked.

She hadn't been to Oil City for a long time and didn't know much about the situation there.

Zuo Ruxue explained:

"The population of the trading market has now exceeded 17, and the buffer city wall is still being built. The food consumption is huge, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. Anyway, our transport team must transport the food to the oil city, and then transport the oil from the oil city to the north and the headquarters base."

Li Qi and Song Qi both nodded.

They are very safe here at the military base.

The military base is extremely closed. As long as the gate is not opened, they are not afraid of any number of zombies coming from outside.

Moreover, there is a lot of food and oil stored here, and there are only dozens of them.

Even if they are not given supplies, they can survive here for more than a few years.

There is no need to worry about water supply.

Wu City is located at a relatively low altitude and is close to the Yangtze River.

There are deep wells in the military base and groundwater has been tapped, so the water supply problem can be fully guaranteed.

It's just that it's a bit boring to stay in here.

Back then, Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu and the others survived the entire thunderstorm disaster here. It was really hard to stay in a closed environment with no light for several months.

Li Qi thought for a moment and said:
"Sister Zuo, Xiao Hu, if you are in danger, I can provide helicopter support."

Zuo Ruxue shook her head and said:
"Forget it. Don't open the door unless necessary. Wall-climbing zombies can appear during the day, and they are elusive. Once the door is opened, what if a wall-climbing zombie sneaks in?"

"We also have ultraviolet lamps! We will definitely set up the ultraviolet lamps and turn them on before opening the door." Li Qi said quickly.

"Let's talk about it later, or you can discuss it with the headquarters base." Zuo Ruxue replied.

"Yeah." After hearing Zuo Ruxue say this, Li Qi didn't continue to persuade her.

Staring at the map on the table, in a daze.

Zuo Ruxue also raised her head and stared at the ceiling above her head in a daze.

I don’t know if it’s because the sky is getting darker, but more and more zombies appear during the day.

In the past, when they were doing transportation, they would at most encounter groups of hundreds of zombies.

On average, you will only encounter this once per trip.

Now, on the road from Oil City to Wu City Military Base, we encountered three waves of zombies with more than a thousand heads, and there were also wall-climbing zombies.

They used drones for reconnaissance and saw a group of zombies on the road several kilometers behind.

Therefore, the method of using drone horns to attract and lead the zombies away was adopted.

As for those that are already very close, we can only bombard them with artillery and clear them with machine gun fire.

Therefore, this trip was the day with the highest ammunition consumption since their transport team started transporting goods.

squeak-

Xiao Hu stood up suddenly and said, "I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards the accommodation area.

After being stunned for a while, Zuo Ruxue also stood up, said goodbye and left.

Only Li Qi and Song Qi were left behind.

Li Qi looked at their backs as they left, worry in her eyes.

"The wall-climbing zombies have all come out, and the transport team is under a lot of pressure."

Song Qi nodded and said:
"Now that you mention it, I feel a little guilty. We are staying in such a safe place."

Li Qi said with a smile:
"How long do you want to stay? You don't see the sun every day, and you don't know what's going on outside. I wonder when the headquarters base will send someone to take over your shift."

"Do you want to leave?" Song Qi asked in surprise.

"Do you still want to stay here?" Li Qi asked back.

Song Qi did not answer directly:

"It's okay. Apart from being a little bored, everything else is fine here."

"You're really good at staying at home!" Li Qi gave him a thumbs up.

She really couldn't imagine that Song Qi, a young man in his twenties, didn't feel bored staying in a dungeon-like military base every day.
