Chapter 1068: Stealth and Spying, the Storm Is Coming

The next day.

It was sunny and breezy.

Although the temperature was still below 10 degrees Celsius, it was still very comfortable to be exposed to the sun.

The two cars left the horse market.

Although it had snowed for a long time before, causing the road to be covered with ice and snow, it was still distinguishable on some national highways.

There were some roadside trees and buildings on both sides of the national highway. Although there was ice and snow in the blank area in the middle, it was at least drivable.

Zhou Sheng sat in the car at the back, drowsy.

With his hands folded across his chest, he said to the men driving the car in front:

"Er Ming, follow the route we planned yesterday. There is plenty of time. Try to go slower. If you find anything unusual, stop and wake me up. I'll take a nap first."

Er Ming nodded and said, "Brother Sheng, don't worry, have a good rest."

Considering the possibility of being discovered this morning, two white SUVs were temporarily replaced for camouflage.

And the non-white parts of the car were wrapped with white cloth. Except for the windshield, the whole car had a white appearance.

Relatively speaking, the effect is still good, especially when the distance is relatively far. Under the cover of white ice and snow everywhere, the two cars are not easy to see from a distance.

Boom!

The vehicle did not take a straight line from Mashi to Oil City, but circled a circle and a half, first arriving at Shi County east of Oil City, and then to the vicinity of Oil City.

The distance doubled from the original 170 kilometers to 340 kilometers.

However, they had a lot of time, and eight hours during the day was enough for them to reach the vicinity of Oil City.

There was ice and snow all over the road, and the snow tires made a creaking sound when rolling over.

Although the accumulated snow melted into ice, the vehicles would still leave two faint traces when passing by.

The vehicle was shaking, and Zhou Sheng slept comfortably in the car. When he woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Where are we?" Zhou Sheng yawned and asked.

Erming pointed to a blue sign on the upper right and said, "Drive another 10 kilometers to Shi County, which is about 80 kilometers from Oil City."

Zhou Sheng rolled down the car window and let the cold air outside blow in.

Under the cold air, his whole spirit was shocked.

"The speed is quite fast. Did you find anything unusual?" Zhou Sheng asked.

A subordinate sitting next to him with a gun said, "No, we didn't see any animals on the road, just a dozen zombies."

"Hmm," Zhou Sheng's eyes showed thought, and then he said:

"Don't go to Shi County, go directly to Oil City, we will see the situation after we go there."

"Okay."

Erming stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards Oil City.

Oil City.

He Ma and Hua Chen flew into the sky in a helicopter for routine patrol.

The helicopter flew high in the sky, with a very wide field of vision.

But at present, when the ice and snow have not melted, there is also a fatal problem.

The ground is all white.

Moreover, because the helicopter was so high, looking down at a car on the ground was almost the same size as seeing an ant.

If the helicopter flew lower, the detection range would be reduced and the efficiency would be much lower.

They mainly used the helicopter to detect in the north, because if someone from the Northern Federation came, they would most likely come from there.

There was no heating in the helicopter, and there were some gaps in the helicopter. The temperature at high altitude was lower than that on the ground. When staying in the helicopter, some cold wind blew in and made people feel biting cold.

Hua Chen's hands and feet were numb from the cold, so he said to He Ma: "It's almost done, let's go back!"

"No, go around and go back. We have only looked in the north and haven't looked in other directions yet," He Ma refused.

Hua Chen sighed and said:

"To be honest, I feel that there is something wrong with this patrol method. It's so cold, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and we can't see clearly in white. And the patrol coverage radius is so large that we can only patrol roughly. Even if someone is really sent, there is a high possibility that we will miss it!"

He Ma knew that what Hua Chen said made sense, but there was no way.

There is no such thing as a thousand-day defense against thieves. Even with the most stringent security, there will be loopholes.

"Follow the order." He Ma advised.

"Okay."

Hua Chen turned the helicopter around and flew southeast. He wanted to make a circle.

An hour later.

The advance team sent by Sima Xi suddenly stopped the car.

"Brother Sheng, there is a helicopter behind the left, what should we do?" Er Ming opened the car window and looked out and said.

Zhou Sheng immediately looked back and up, and sure enough, a helicopter appeared in the sky behind the left. The helicopter should be far away from them, and it looked like a small black dot.

"Don't stop the car, drive to the woods on the left! Quick!" Zhou Sheng said quickly.

"Okay!"

Er Ming hurriedly drove to the woods on the left, and another car followed closely.

"Stop, turn off the engine, don't move!" Zhou Sheng said immediately.

The vehicle drove under several large trees and stopped with a creak.

Er Ming stopped the car and looked up at the treetops above his head.

A thick layer of frost formed on the treetops, layer upon layer, and looking down from the sky, nothing could be seen.

They watched the helicopter fly hundreds of meters above their heads.

Everyone in the vehicle didn't dare to breathe, staring straight at the sky.

Five minutes later.

There was only the sound of wind in the air, and occasionally the sound of one or two ice spikes falling from the trees.

Huh——

"They shouldn't have found us, right?" Er Ming asked.

Zhou Sheng frowned and said to a subordinate sitting next to him: "Get out of the car and take a look outside."

The subordinate sitting next to him squeezed the gun in his hand and got out of the car.

Shashasha——

He walked on the ice and snow, looking at the sky carefully.

After walking a few hundred meters, there was still no trace of the helicopter.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.

But when he turned around, he found that he couldn't find the vehicle.

So he had to pick up the walkie-talkie to contact: "Brother Sheng, I can't find you."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but curse.

Then he said, "Just look around nearby, who told you to run so far!"

Then he said to Erming, "Do you remember how to drive the car back to the road? Don't tell me you're lost!"

Erming said quickly, "Remember, remember, you just drove to the left, just drive to the right."

"Yeah!"

Then, Erming started the car and drove to the right.

The subordinate who went out to check the situation found the car behind him.

In a static situation, there was ice and snow everywhere, and it was impossible to see clearly.

So he took off his white coat, revealing the black clothes inside, and waved his hands at the car.

At the same time, Erming also found him, so he drove over.

The car drove to his side.

Click!

The car door opened.

"Get in the car!" Zhou Sheng said unhappily.

"Oh oh." The subordinate who just got off the car got on the car awkwardly, and then put on his coat.

Just taking off the thick coat, he was frozen and had a runny nose in a short while.

The car drove back to the starting position.

Looking at the road ahead, Erming turned his head and asked Zhou Sheng: "Brother Sheng, what should we do next?"

Zhou Sheng hesitated for a moment and said: "How far is it from here to the Oil City?"

"."

Erming looked embarrassed and answered: "I really don't know. We don't have a navigation system, but based on the speed of the vehicle, it should be about 30 kilometers away from the Oil City."

"30 kilometers? Look around the Oil City to see if there are any mountains?"

Erming opened the map of Henan Province and looked at it for a long time before saying: "This is mostly plains, with few mountains, only two small mountains. There is a Jinniu Mountain to the north of the Oil City and a Leizhen Mountain to the south, with an altitude of less than 100 meters."

Zhou Sheng murmured: "30 kilometers, the distance is already very close."

A thought flashed through his eyes, and he said to Erming: "Don't take the main road, drive the car into the woods and drive parallel to the main road."

"Okay."

Erming stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the small road.

The road surface of the small road is not easy to drive on, it is bumpy, and you will get stuck in it if you are not careful.

After driving for half an hour, Erming saw a small earthen slope in front of the left.

He slowed down instantly and said to Zhou Sheng behind him: "We should have reached the foot of Leizhen Mountain. Should we go around it and continue to approach the oil city?"

Zhou Sheng sat up straight and said to Erming: "Give me the map."

Erming gave the map in his hand to Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng looked carefully. According to the scale, it was only fifteen kilometers away from the big camphor tree base.

After thinking again and again.

He pushed the car door open.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was not so bright.

Stepping on the ice and snow, he slowly climbed up the mountain.

The hillside was less than 100 meters above sea level. He climbed for about ten minutes and finally climbed up this small hillside.

Climbing to the top of the hillside, looking ahead.

A huge and wide plain, all in the ice and snow.

Only a few kilometers to the right of the frozen river, there was a building that looked a bit abrupt.

The more than ten-meter-high wall was particularly obvious in this world of ice and snow.

He stepped on the ice and snow, held a tree with his hands, and was very excited.

"That should be the oil city!"

He picked up the binoculars and looked at it at the maximum magnification.

The tall oil derricks and the walls even showed people standing on them.

But it was extremely blurry, and only a rough outline could be seen, and the faces could not be seen clearly.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, "Erming, you park the car at the bottom of the hill... Remember to find a hidden place, we will be here tonight!"

After hearing Zhou Sheng's words in the car, Erming hurriedly asked, "Brother Sheng, did we see the oil city!"

"Haha, yes! But for safety reasons, we should not get too close, let's stay in this forest."

Zhou Sheng was in a good mood. Even though it was a little cold now, they had found the oil city.

It was getting darker, and it was a little dark at 4:30.

They did not turn on the car lights, and they all returned to the car after observing on the hillside for a while.

"Listen, a few things!"

"Although we are in the mountains, there may be zombies at night. We will keep watch in pairs. Once we find a zombie, we will kill it immediately. No guns, no guns! No guns! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"The second thing is that you can't turn on the lights. There are only four night vision goggles. Give them to the person on duty, Erming and Daming. Even if you don't sleep tonight, you must get through it!"

"The third thing! As soon as it gets light tomorrow, Daming, you drive the vehicle to find the main force as quickly as possible, tell Wang De and the others about the situation here, and ask them to come over!"

Daming nodded heavily and said, "Understood!"

Zhou Sheng glanced at Daming, and then said, "Don't keep an eye on us tonight. Get a good night's sleep. There will be a tough battle tomorrow!"

The night deepened.

Their two cars were parked next to a huge rock at the bottom of the hill, and there was a huge tree in front of them.

The tree was very tall, but it seemed to have been struck by lightning before.

But the tree had a strong vitality. After being struck by lightning, some branches grew out.

These branches were covered with frost at this time.

It was a quiet and dark night.

The car windows were closed, with only a few gaps for air circulation.

Through these gaps, the breath of people slowly drifted out.

Two zombies came out from nowhere.

He staggered towards them.

Oil City.

Huang Lianke was controlling the drone to patrol near the oil city as usual.

After the drone was upgraded, its endurance combat capability reached 20 to 30 kilometers.

But even if they were controlling the drone, they had to observe with their naked eyes.

Daily searches were also very eye-consuming.

Buzz buzz——

Huang Lianke rubbed his eyes, walked out of the sentry tower, picked up the drone that flew to the wall, and walked under the wall.

On the way, he met Xiao He who was handing over the goods. Huang Lianke said: "I have already looked at the north. You will go to check the other directions later."

"What is the range?"

"Ten kilometers."

"Okay."

"I'm going to charge it." Huang Lianke pointed to the drone.

"Okay!"

Everything in the oil city seemed to be going on as usual.

In the conference room.

Zizizizi.

Ju Tianrui heard a sound coming from the intercom.

"This is the outpost of National Highway 107 in the north. No abnormalities were found today."

Ju Tianrui said, "Received! Xiao Tan, you guys keep watching, don't let your guard down, and report any situation at any time."

"Understood, Battalion Commander."

"By the way, did you see He Ma's helicopter today?" Ju Tianrui asked.

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Ju Tianrui put the walkie-talkie back into his chest and stared blankly at the light bulb.

I don't know why, but I always feel flustered these days.

"Last time, Chen Er said that Tiger Lord wants to meet our city lord, and the transaction will be in three days. Maybe Tiger Lord will come together. We have to tell the city lord about this matter so that he can be mentally prepared." Dongtai looked through the schedule and suddenly said to Ju Tianrui.

"Ah, okay, you will tell me when you report to the big camphor tree base later." Ju Tianrui woke up from his daze.

"Captain, why don't you say it yourself?" Dongtai saw Ju Tianrui take down the telescope hanging on the wall and answered, then stood up and walked out of the meeting room, and quickly added: "Where are you going?"

Ju Tianrui didn't even turn his head, waved his hand and said: "I'm going to walk around the wall."
