Chapter 412 Find the target

Lu Xiaobu spoke first, and after he spoke, the two search team leaders frowned and thought.

"Have you noticed that there doesn't seem to be any signs of human activity in the places we searched? Not to mention those places where there are zombies, even in houses without zombies, there are not a lot of supplies inside."

A group leader with a gentle face and a pair of resin glasses was the first to speak.

"Yeah... We also found out that the living people in this area seemed to be extinct all at once, not to mention the materials in the houses, even the wild vegetables that grew by the lake were not dug, but there were quite a few been eaten by animals."

After the two team leaders spoke, Lu Xiaobu hesitated. He had seen what the team leaders said, and didn't think much about it at the time. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that something was really wrong. Even if the food in the house did not dare to go Do you dare to move the wild vegetables outside? No one wants the food here, which only means that the survivors in this area have migrated.

"Do you say that they will move to the place where they gather, maybe the wh government will start rescue from the beginning, so they may be transferred?"

After Lu Xiaobu uttered his conjecture, the two people were silent. The fact that the motorcade cannot cross the river does not mean that the people on the other side of the river cannot pass. They are familiar with the local geography, so maybe they really have a way to cross the river. If so, would their mission never be complete?

"No...impossible, you must know that even if the city government has rescue, it will only rescue the city residents first. It is at least a few hours' drive from WH. The traffic at that time must be chaotic, and there are people waiting for rescue everywhere. It is impossible for them to take care of this side, and besides, there are no important facilities and personnel here, and they can't wait for others except to save themselves."

A team leader shook his head and vetoed Lu Xiaobu's answer. He was an idiot himself. In the week before the virus broke out, he stayed at home and waited for rescue. In the end, he didn't get anything. He left home to wander when food ran out, and that experience left an indelible mark on his mind.

Several people were speechless at the same time, this is not right, that is not right, they really can't think of where the survivors in this area will be active, if they all go to the mountains to be savages, then they will really be found.

"We should think differently ... what would we do if we were in the situation at that time?"

Lu Xiaobu opened his mouth, since he couldn't find them outside, he thought about where they would hide, as long as he could judge the area where they might hide, it would be easy.

"It's close to Wh, relatively rich, and the local people will be more flexible. They shouldn't wait for rescue. Maybe they have found a shelter in the first few days of the catastrophe..."

One team leader had just finished speaking, and Ling Yi also took over the conversation.

"I think that place should be relatively hidden, but it should also be well known. Outsiders can't find it, but locals know it."

As the two team leaders talked, Lu Xiaobu also had a preliminary image in his mind, just like building a house and building a frame, as long as you fill in some details on the frame, then the truth will come to light.

"Concealment is to ensure safety. At least the zombies around can't go there. At the same time, food must be guaranteed. There should be a lot of survivors around here, and there should be at least a few hundred people. It is not easy to feed hundreds of people."

A team leader mentioned the biggest problem facing human beings, the food problem. The survivors cannot solve the food problem, even if they hide on the moon, they will not starve to death.

"Is there any planting base nearby that can store a large amount of food?"

As soon as Lu Xiaobu heard this, he immediately denied this conjecture. This area is a large lake. There is not enough flat land, so the planting base cannot be established. The smallest planting base is planted on hundreds of hectares of land. Here? is it possible?

"Actually, I'm thinking too far. The biggest source of food is actually right under our noses..."

The gentle-looking team leader suddenly said such a sentence, and his words attracted the attention of Lu Xiaobu and another person.

"Look, with this big lake, you can't find anything to eat? There are wild vegetables, snails, plankton, and fish. Even the young leaves of reeds that grow in shallow water can be eaten. There are lots of high protein insects that wouldn't starve me if I lived here."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu suddenly stood up, looked at him and asked, "You mean? Could it be that they are right under our noses?"

The team leader nodded, pressed the loose glasses back with his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I suspect they are hiding on those small islands in the middle of the lake, where the reeds are dense, and we can't see the specific situation. , Zombies can’t get through, food is right at their door, and there is no shortage of fuel, those old reeds are the best fuel.”

"But...but if they had lit a fire to cook, wouldn't we have seen the smoke a long time ago..."

Another person thought of this and asked.

"I remember that during the Vietnam War, our scouts would use smoke-free stoves in the field. All they needed was a shovel. Take the regenerated fire, or they light the fire at night, as long as the fire is blocked, who can see?"

"Why are they doing this? Aren't we wearing military uniforms? Aren't we driving military vehicles?"

Hearing such a question, the team leader looked contemptuous, and he said to the team leader who asked the question: "This is not an old mountainous area like a missile base. The people here are full of brains. They don't believe anyone. Why do they do it? Simple, They may be afraid that we will take their food, they may be afraid that we will rob them of their women, or they may even be afraid that we will rescue them."

"I can understand that they are afraid that we will rob them, but why do you say that they are afraid of being rescued? Is it not safe to follow the army?"

Lu Xiaobu was also confused when he heard this, so he couldn't help asking.

The team leader didn't dare to show his face to Lu Xiaobu, he said seriously to Lu Xiaobu: "The basic needs of people are the needs for food and safety, followed by the needs for society and the need for the environment. , in which food needs are greater than safety needs, and safety needs are greater than social needs, and the environment is the last."

Having said that, he paused slightly to reorganize his words.

"Now they have no shortage of food, zombies can't get through, and their safety is guaranteed. There is a large population, there are hundreds of people, so that a small social system is formed over there. In addition, some small shrimps in the lake are themselves With a certain amount of salt, then they can be completely self-sufficient."

Lu Xiaobu still didn't understand when he heard this, and he asked again why the survivors over there didn't need rescue.

"Well, what I mean is that it is optional for them to follow us, just like a student who listens to the teacher and parents every day, does homework, learns English, learns music, and learns painting. Suddenly went to university, he found that no one was looking after him, would he still do the homework he used to do every day? The same is true over there. Nearly nine months is enough for them to get rid of the unaccustomed to the absence of the government , In other words, they have initially formed a separatist force."

The jaws of Lu Xiaobu and the other person dropped. With this little staff, how dare they fight for independence? It seems that they have nothing, and want to rebel with a few kitchen knives?

Seeing the expressions of the two, the gentle-looking team leader knew that they were thinking wrong, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It's not considered a separatist regime, just like the Xanadu in the story of Peach Blossom Spring. They just want to live in peace. Don't ask, don't rely on anyone."

"Now that their location has been roughly determined, there is no need to say any more. We have completed the task, and the rest is up to Brother Cockroach to decide. It has nothing to do with us whether to attack or negotiate."

Speaking of this, several people got up together and walked towards their respective military vehicles, halfway through, Lu Xiaobu stopped the two of them.

"It's only 4:30, and it's only a little over 5:00 when we get back. We spend half an hour searching for supplies. Except for food and luxury goods, we don't want anything else. We don't want anything else until the trunk is full. Forty percent, leave the rest to that old hooligan Zhang Huai'an."

Speaking of Zhang Huai'an, Lu Xiaobu had an unlucky look on his face. Thinking of the supplies that could fit in his pocket, he smiled again. Why did he compete with several other team leaders for the position of the search team? This position seems to be thankless, isn't it? How about making some extra money just for searching? As for the definition of luxury goods, they are non-essential daily necessities, that is, cigarettes, wine, tea, and all kinds of novelties for Miss Yang.
