Chapter 1389 Underground Cave
"Why is there such a big hole here?!" Bai Jie exclaimed.
Qu Xing in the helicopter looked at the hole below and asked a combatant behind:
"Bai Zheng, aren't you also from Xincheng? Do you know this cave?"
Bai Zheng frowned and replied:
"Although I am from Xincheng, I am not from Hefeng Town. I joined the army very early. I have not been in my hometown for many years and I don't know this cave."
Lao Bi heard their conversation on the intercom,
“Let’s go back first, and when we get to the headquarters base, ask if there is anyone in this town.
Team Luo's side should be almost finished, let's go and take over from them. "
The helicopter flew back and passed several tall limestone mines.
Then I saw a helicopter hovering below slowly rising into the air. As the helicopter took off and left, another helicopter hovered and descended to that location.
Sizzling——
"Lao Bi, I'm going back to the headquarters base first. There's not much fuel left."
Hearing Lao Luo's voice in the earphones, Lao Bi quickly replied:
"Okay, you go back first, we will follow you later."
The headquarters base has electronic beacons for helicopters. Each of their helicopters can navigate according to the electronic beacons, so they don't have to spend time looking for them like when they came here.
Therefore, even if they are separated, they can still follow the electronic beacon and return to the Da Zhangshu base.
In order to save fuel, Lao Bi controlled the helicopter to hover around, maintaining the most fuel-saving state.
Lao Luo's helicopter was the first to receive people and received 26 people.
Now there were originally 105 people among Yu Wei and others below, but more than thirty people died later. Now only seventy people remain.
In other words, the next few helicopters only need to receive an average of 15 or 16 people.
The huge noise of the helicopter caused the zombies outside the electric truck's defense circle to become restless and collide with the electric truck body even more violently.
"You guys go first, we'll be behind!" Yu Wei shouted to Master Luo.
Several of their outer city combatants have guns in their hands. Even if high-jumping zombies appear again, they will be able to deal with them.
Master Luo said with gratitude:
"Okay, Team Leader Yu, be careful, we're leaving first."
On this trip, if Yu Wei and the others had not come together, all the people he led would probably have to stay here.
He quickly got out of the car and when he saw someone still carrying a package, he couldn't help scolding:
"Stop taking it! Just go up like this."
"Coco is the captain. This food is hard-earned for us. What if someone takes it away if we leave it here?"
"What time is it? Hurry up and put them in the car. Do you understand if you take these things to the helicopter and add weight to the helicopter!? They will definitely come back here tomorrow, so put them back quickly."
"Ok, I see."
At Sergeant Luo's reminder, those who had carried the packages put their weapons and food back into the car.
"quick!"
The combatants in the helicopter cabin above shouted towards the bottom.
Every second you hover increases the chance of an accident.
No helicopter pilot would want to hover for a long time, because the hover operation is very dangerous, and fuel is the lifeline. At night like now, running out of fuel is a very fatal thing.
Once it lands in the dark, no one knows whether there will be a large number of zombies on the ground.
Time flew by, and ten minutes later, the helicopter loaded another twenty people.
This means that the two helicopters at the back can carry fewer people, and they don't have to wait so long.
After all, the helicopter behind has been flying at this time. Although it does not consume as much fuel as the hovering helicopter, there will be normal consumption during flight.
"He Ma, you go down first, I will be last." Lao Bi used the walkie-talkie to contact He Ma in another helicopter and said.
"good."
Lao Bi controlled the helicopter to a height of more than 300 meters and looked down from a high altitude.
Wherever the searchlight shines, there are shaking zombie heads.
"There must be at least tens of thousands of zombies!" Qu Xing clicked his tongue in surprise.
"I feel more than that." Yu An controlled the searchlight and swung it left and right.
Bai Jie and Ma Di used the cameras they brought to zoom in and take pictures of the zombies below.
Because the helicopter was constantly moving, most of the photos were not very clear.
Bang bang bang!
Several gunshots below caught Lao Bi's attention.
Lao Bi took the time to glance down, but the helicopter was too high to see clearly.
"what happened?"
Yu Weiwei gasped and replied:
"A few more high-jumping zombies ran in and were killed by us."
Lao Bi couldn't help complaining: "There are too many mutated zombies here."
After hearing Lao Bi's complaints on the intercom, Bai Jie thought for a while and replied:
"It's probably related to the hole below. We don't know how big the hole is, which means we don't know how many zombies are inside."
"In addition, the batch of wall-climbing zombies that were sent from Oil City last time have not yet fully mutated. I think the mutation of zombies may not only be affected by the number of viruses in the body."
As she spoke, Bai Jie paused, "Forget it, I'll look at the experiment record sheet when I return to the base. Maybe I can verify my guess."
He was half-sentence, leaving Lao Bi speechless.
However, he did not think about what Bai Jie said. Most of his attention was focused on controlling the helicopter.
After a while, He Ma looked at the remaining fuel and shouted to the people behind the rope ladder: "Collect the rope ladder, and tell them not to come up."
"Okay."
The combat personnel quickly collected the rope ladder.
More than a dozen people were received at once, and only seven or eight people were left below.
He Ma saw that the rope ladder had been collected, and quickly controlled the helicopter to fly towards the big camphor tree base.
"Captain, I'll go back first."
"Okay."
Quickly filling the position, he controlled the helicopter to land quickly.
The rope ladder was quickly put down.
"You first, Cao Le, you guys hurry up!" Yu Wei saw that there was another gap on the right side formed by the truck knocked open by the power zombies, and quickly shouted to Cao Le and others.
He knew that this side might not last too long.
Cao Le and others didn't waste words and quickly grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up.
After all, they were combat personnel, and their physical fitness was much better than those who had not received professional training. In addition, they had better skills and had similar training, so they climbed very fast.
Bang!
Yu Wei quickly killed the power zombies.
But the gap had been opened up a big hole, and several zombies squeezed in from outside the first layer of defense circle.
"Team leader, come up quickly, you are the only one left!" Cao Le shouted loudly in the helicopter hovering more than ten meters above.
Yu Wei looked around, everyone retreated, and he was the only one left on the truck.
Hurry down, hold the rope ladder and climb up.
Dongdongdong!
More and more zombies poured in from outside the second layer of defense circle, and another high-jumping zombie appeared among them.
Tat-tat!
This high-jumping zombie jumped into the second layer of defense circle and collided with the truck.
Damn it!
Cao Le held his breath, pulled out his gun, and aimed.
Bang!
The zombie was shot dead with one shot.
Yu Wei carried a gun and kept climbing up.
More and more zombies poured into the defense circle below. Under the cover of ordinary zombies, some wall-climbing zombies also appeared.
A wall-climbing zombie jumped up, was irradiated by ultraviolet light in mid-air, let out a shrill scream, then fell down and fell back into the zombie group.
Soon, Yu Wei climbed up.
Huh——
He panted heavily and watched Cao Le and the others bring up the rope ladder.
Buzz buzz buzz——
After seeing that they all came up, Lao Bi quickly controlled the helicopter to return to the headquarters base.
They waited the longest here, and there were fixed numbers for how long and how far the helicopter could fly.
There was still 20% of fuel left, which was enough to return to the headquarters base.
But he didn't relax completely.
"Qu Xing, check them to see if they were infected by zombies."
This place was too evil, so they had to be cautious.
Although all the zombies they had encountered in the past would mutate within three minutes after being bitten.
But this place is unusual, with so many mutant zombies appearing all of a sudden.
We have to be on guard.
Qu Xing unbuckled his seat belt and went over to check on Yu Wei and the others.
After finding that they were not bitten, Qu Xing returned to the co-pilot.
When he finished checking, the helicopter was almost there.
After all, it was only fifty kilometers, and with electronic beacon navigation, all you had to do was fly the helicopter to a certain height and fly at the fastest speed.
No need to be as troublesome as when you came.
Fifty kilometers, for a helicopter that can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, is just ten minutes.
The combatants in the other three helicopters also checked those on the helicopters.
In order to prevent someone from being bitten by zombies and brought back to the base, fearing trouble.
Going out at night, they went to a somewhat weird place, so they did not land in the outer city, but in the first outer city's urn.
Buzz buzz buzz——
When Lao Bi parked the helicopter in the first outer city's urn, he saw through the windshield that there was already a circle of combatants standing outside.
Lao Luo and others who returned to the headquarters base earlier than him were screened for the second time by He Chao and others.
"Lao Bi and others are back too." After Lao Luo finished the screening, he stood beside Li Yu and said to him.
"Bai Jie and others are also in that helicopter."
"Yeah."
Just now, he had learned some about the situation in Hefeng Town from Lao Luo and others.
How could there be so many zombies in a remote mine?
Li Yu waited patiently, and it was almost 4:30 in the morning.
He had been waiting, waiting for Lao Luo and others to come back.
After all, the second uncle was old and kept yawning.
After Bai Jie and others finished the inspection, Li Yu immediately asked Lao Bi and Bai Jie to come over.
"Have you found any reason?" Li Yu asked quickly.
Hefeng Town is only more than 50 kilometers away from the headquarters base and only more than ten kilometers away from the fifth satellite city.
With such a close distance, once it rains heavily, the zombies over there will definitely come over.
Even in normal times, when the cooperative personnel are doing tasks in the surrounding area, they are likely to encounter these zombie groups.
That is extremely dangerous.
The hidden danger must be understood and solved!
"There is a huge cave over there!"
After hearing Li Yu's question, Lao Bi continued:
"It's just two kilometers behind the mine, in a forest behind, the cave looks big, the zombies that besieged Yu Wei and others came out from there."
"Cave?"
Li Yu frowned. He knew Hefeng Town, but he didn't know much about it.
"Are there any of you from Hefeng Town? Does anyone know this cave?"
He Chao quickly raised his hand and said:
"I'm from Hefeng Town. I know that place. It's actually an underground cave. It's very deep. I used to go there when I was a kid."
"Cave? Isn't it a cave?" Li Yu asked.
"No, that's a karst cave. Before the end of the world, the local township government was planning to develop it into a tourist attraction, but because it was too remote, they were afraid that no one would invest and it would not make much money, so it was shelved."
"I went there to play when I was a child. It was used as a command post during the Anti-Japanese War. There are still some ruins inside."
"Well, how big is that karst cave?"
"It's quite big. After entering the cave, the largest cave entrance should be two kilometers long from the innermost part, but it's really hard to say how big it is.
Because there are many forks in the cave, each of which is a different length. When I was a child, I played hide-and-seek with my friends in it."
He Chao is already in his thirties, and it feels a bit strange to hear him say the word hide-and-seek.
Everyone continued to listen to him.
He Chao's eyes showed memories.
"There is one thing that I remember very clearly. I remember that one time when we were playing hide-and-seek, there was a person hiding and we couldn't find him. We looked everywhere but couldn't find him, and he was still shouting inside.
Later, the whole village was mobilized to go in and look for him, and we searched all night.
We found him at noon the next day."
"When we found that little friend, he was already dead. He accidentally fell into the underground river and drowned. When I saw him at that time, his body was swollen."
"Since then, I have never been there again."
"There are white snakes and bats in that place, and there are black snakes. When I think about it now, I feel that I was really brave at that time!"
The second uncle was a little sleepy at first, but after hearing what He Chao said, he was much more energetic.
"Underground river? There is an underground river in that place?"
"Yes, it is a karst cave, and the whole way goes down, all downhill. There are many stalactites in it. There used to be a homeless man living in it, and he was dead when he was found later."
"Why? How did he die?" the second uncle asked.
"I heard that he was killed by snake venom. There are poisonous snakes in it, white ones. Some people say that they have seen white ones with big and thick heads in it."
"Isn't that a python!?"
"I haven't seen it, and I heard it from others."
After hearing this, Li Yu frowned.
Two kilometers in length.
"How wide is the largest cave?" Li Yu asked.
"Forty or fifty meters, the widest is hundreds of meters, very big." He Chao replied.
"Hmm"
Such a large cave, underground, and with an underground river.
Dark and humid, it is very suitable for zombies to survive.
"Do you know where the underground river leads to?"
"This, I really don't know" He Chao was a little embarrassed and shook his head.
