Chapter 868: There Is No Good or Bad in the End Times, only Interests

Lao Qin continued: "Judging from the video alone, the way these people stand and walk does not look like someone who has served as a soldier."

The third uncle nodded, then turned to Xiao Jun and said:

"When was the last time you saw those people?"

Xiao Jun looked at his watch and then said: "I saw it at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It is now 11:40 in the morning, nearly 20 hours."

Twenty hours have passed, and it is actually more difficult to find them.

But if those people are still nearby, Third Uncle is very confident that he can find those people.

The third uncle pondered for a while and said to Lao Bi and Xiao Jun:

"The 155 heavy artillery was brought in and assembled immediately. In addition, drones were used to patrol around the oil city 24 hours a day. No matter whether those people are friends or foes, we must remain vigilant!"

"Yes, captain." The two stood up straight and saluted their third uncle and said in unison.

The third uncle played the video and saw that Ant and Jackal had filled up the helicopter's aviation kerosene, and they had also moved the cans brought to Oil City from the Da Zhangshu base.

So he said to Lao Bi and the others: "Okay, let's go out and take a look to see if those people are still nearby. You go and do your own business first!"

"By the way, Xiao Jun, come with us and take us to the place you saw yesterday."

"Okay." Xiao Jun followed directly behind his third uncle without saying a word.

After saying that, the third uncle got on the helicopter with Lao Qin and others.

Lao Bi looked at his third uncle's back and hesitated to speak.

He also knows what is going on now. Maybe Oil City is being targeted. Oil City currently needs strength. It may not be appropriate for him to propose returning to Da Zhangshu Base at this stage.

He sighed, shook his head, and ran to assemble the heavy cannon.

In the helicopter, Jackal saw Xiao Jun coming up and nodded towards him.

The third uncle said to Xiao Jun: "You come and point the direction, we will go there."

Xiao Jun began to direct the direction and flew towards the road where they saw the group of people yesterday.

The helicopter's speed was very fast, and soon they arrived at the place where the people were found, twenty kilometers away from the oil city.

This place is located at the urban-rural fringe, a county below Xin City.

Low houses, ruins, and construction debris everywhere.

They first circled around to see if they could spot the group from yesterday.

After flying in circles for a few minutes, it was determined that there was no sign of anyone.

The third uncle gestured to the jackal to get down. The jackal understood it instantly, and then controlled the helicopter to fly downwards.

After the typhoon and rain, a lot of silt was knocked out, causing the original cement roads and asphalt roads to be covered with a thick layer of dust.

The helicopter landed and kicked up a huge cloud of dust, like a small sandstorm.

Boom!

The helicopter landed slowly. The third uncle covered his nose and led Xiao Jun and others down.

After getting off the helicopter, Uncle San looked ahead. The scene ahead was similar to what he just saw in the video.

The third uncle walked slowly, holding a gun in his hand, looking around while walking forward.

The others following him maintained their formation and looked around vigilantly.

One minute later.

The third uncle and others came to the place where those people were yesterday. The third uncle squatted down, looked at the ruts on the ground, and then walked along the ruts for more than ten steps.

Suddenly he squatted down, touched a drop of fuel on the ground and sniffed it, his eyes flickered.

He stood up and asked Xiao Jun behind him: "You said they went east yesterday?"

"Yes, I don't know if they left because they found us, or for other reasons, but I did see through the drone that they were heading east."

"Yeah." The third uncle nodded lightly.

Then let everyone spread out and search around to see if they can find any clues.

They searched around but found no valuable clues.

"Let's go east and take a look." Third uncle stood up and said to everyone.

The third uncle and others got into the helicopter and continued flying east.

The helicopter flies to an altitude of about one thousand meters, which is the safest and most stable altitude for helicopters.

It is also helpful to observe the following situation.

If there are seven or eight military trucks walking on the ground, they can still be spotted from the air.

In this way, they flew at a constant speed. From time to time, the third uncle would let the helicopter fly below to check the rut marks, and then after confirming, continue flying eastward.

Along the way, Uncle San relied on his powerful reconnaissance capabilities to keep flying in one direction.

Another hour later.

They are nearly three hundred kilometers away from the oil city.

The third uncle and others on the plane were very surprised. It was already three hundred kilometers away. Where were these people going?

The third uncle was even more curious. These people came all the way to Oil City and then just left? What if this is tourism?

soon.

After continuing to fly for dozens of kilometers, the third uncle asked Jackal to stop the helicopter. While having someone refill the helicopter with diesel fuel, he continued to squat down and check the traces on the ground.

"Those are the same cars. It looks like they are going all the way to the east."

The third uncle frowned, the curiosity in his heart getting stronger.

Who are these people? They just came and left without saying hello. What do you mean?

"Captain, we are in Luzhou now. If we fly east, we will probably reach Jinling soon." Ant said to Uncle San when he saw the fallen sign on the road.

Uncle San raised his eyebrows and said, "I will not feel at ease if I don't figure it out. Let me tell Xiaoyu about the current situation here."

After that, he got on the helicopter and told Li Yu about the situation here.

Li Yu was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that Uncle San and his team could track down Jinling. Since they were all going to Jinling, they could basically determine which Southern Paradise it was.

Based on his understanding of Southern Paradise, at least Uncle San, who was driving the helicopter, should not be in any great danger.

However, Li Yu still asked Uncle San and his team to be as careful as possible, not to get too close, and not to be exposed for the time being.

Uncle San said that he understood and asked Li Yu not to worry.

Li Yu, who was far away at the Camphor Tree Base, was a little excited.

In his previous life, he could only join the South Paradise as a low-level staff member for a short period of time, but now he has a powerful force. He does not need to bend down humbly to survive, and does not need to scramble to escape in the crowd when the zombie tide comes.

On the other side.

Uncle San put down the radio, and then said to the jackal: "Jackal, go, continue!"

Buzz buzz buzz--

The helicopter roared and flew eastward.

Maintaining an altitude of one thousand meters, the plane was very stable.

Jinling Jiangnan has a long history.

Soon, they arrived in Jinling.

Looking down from the sky, the ground below was in a mess.

The water network was dense.

Only a basic frame remained of the high-rise building, and some of the high-rise buildings even collapsed halfway, looking like they would fall down at any time.

In addition to the high-rise buildings, the remaining houses were basically ruins, and there was hardly a single intact house.

The original road could not be seen clearly on the ground, all of it was mud and dust.

In the sun, this area was full of the breath of death.

Suddenly, Xiao Jun pointed to the distance and said to the people behind him: "Look there, those cars!"

Uncle San immediately sat up straight and looked in the direction Xiao Jun pointed.

Sure enough, more than ten kilometers away, seven or eight cars were speeding. The road was not easy to drive on and the vehicles were shaking severely.

Uncle San remembered Li Yu's instructions, so he said to Jackal: "Jackal, pull the helicopter up to three thousand meters."

"Okay." Jackal heard it and operated it quickly.

Everyone in the plane held the handrail tightly to withstand the pressure of this pull.

Soon, after they flew to three thousand kilometers, the cars on the ground could still be seen, but they were basically no different from ants.

Uncle San picked up the military telescope, raised it to the highest magnification, and looked over there.

The helicopter continued to follow.

Soon.

Uncle San and others saw a huge city wall below with the telescope.

Ming City Wall!

It is 4-5 meters wide and 14 meters high. It still stands after hundreds of years.

"Hiss! So many people!" Xiao Jun took a breath of cold air after seeing the scene outside the city wall with a telescope.

Outside the city, there are densely packed simple sheds and houses made of wood and stones. At most, they can only block the rain. Even if it rains heavily, it can soak in.

There are a lot of people. Almost all wooden houses are leaning against the outside of the city wall.

It can be vaguely seen that some of these people are building sheds.

These people are ragged and haggard, like zombies.

Outside the city wall, there are potholes and muddy water splashing with one foot.

There are several corpses lying on the ground inside and outside the sheds, but the people passing by completely ignore them, as if they can't see these corpses.

Several wild dogs ran over to eat the corpses.

But they were immediately put on the necks of the dogs by several people next to them.

A pot was set up on the spot, and the dog meat was cooked on fire. Many people saw those people eating dog meat and rushed to grab it.

For a pot of dog meat, hundreds of people quarreled and fought.

Many people died, but the guards standing on the city wall didn't seem to care.

No one stopped the fight, no one stopped the quarrel, and no one dealt with the dead bodies.

Everything was in chaos and disorder.

Under the gaze of Uncle San, the seven or eight cars stopped in front of the gate under the city wall.

Roadblocks were set up on both sides of the road, and seven or eight people were on duty with guns.

Soon, the gate of the city wall opened, and the seven or eight cars drove in.

Everyone on the helicopter was very amazed.

To be honest, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, they had never seen so many people, nor had they seen such a large base, even the Western Alliance.

The Western Alliance seemed insignificant in front of this unknown force.

"There are at least tens of thousands of people, right?" Ant looked at the scene in horror and said to everyone.

"But there seem to be very few people inside the wall." Lao Qin, who was sitting next to Ant, said.

"What are those people doing? They seem to be fighting?"

"Captain, I observed that there are heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the wall, and there are 20 people in total." Ant said to Uncle San.

Uncle San nodded slightly, then immediately took out a pen and paper and drew the following layout and control points.

We will decide whether to use it later, just draw it down first, in case it is useful.

The helicopter hovered in the sky for a while. Ten minutes later, the third uncle said to the jackal: "Leave here first."

Buzz buzz——

The scene just now made the third uncle's brain keep thinking.

"You just saw the city wall. How many people do you think are inside the wall?" asked the third uncle.

Ant narrowed his eyes and said: "There are very few people inside the city wall, less than one-tenth of those outside, and it is estimated that there are only two thousand people at most."

The third uncle said: "There are tens of thousands of people outside the wall, but these people seem to be unable to enter the city wall. And if you look at the state of those people, they are almost the same as the walking dead. I even saw corpses just now, but the surroundings seemed No one cares about this.”

"This shows one thing, the people inside the city wall don't care about the life and death of the people outside the city wall!"

"Yes, captain, I was just observing the farmland within the wall, and it seems that it was also hit by a typhoon. In addition, I feel that the size of the farmland is too small compared to the number of people, only less than a hundred acres." Qin nodded and said.

"Then what should we do next?" Ant looked at Third Uncle and asked.

The third uncle frowned. To be honest, he didn't know how to face this base now.

The most important thing is that he did not understand whether these people were friends or enemies.

But he can be sure of one thing. He didn't find a helicopter or a landing pad at this base just now.

In this case, they at least have absolute air supremacy.

"Let's go back to Oil City first," said the third uncle.

"Okay." Jackal flew in the direction of the helicopter.

On the way, the third uncle told Li Yu what he saw.

After Li Yu heard the scene described by his third uncle, it overlapped with the scene in his memory.

He was not surprised when he heard that there were tens of thousands of people outside the city wall.

Because he knew that there were more people outside there before.

Just all dead.

Although population is important in the apocalypse, it is definitely not the most important.

It's even a drag sometimes.

After all, there are many people, no food, and no way to feed them, so they can only become a burden.

He knows that Southern Paradise, although its name is Paradise.

However, it is only called paradise for people living within the city walls, but it is hell on earth for people outside.

Even when heavy rains and typhoons arrive, the people inside will not open the city gates to let outsiders in.

The reason is simple, there are too many people and it’s crazy and they can’t control it.

It is undeniable that such an approach can protect the people in the city.

The people in the city never cared about the survivors living in shanties outside the city.

But the survivors living in shantytowns took refuge nearby.

Why?

When it rains heavily, they disperse in droves and run for cover.

When it doesn't rain, it's safer to go back to this shack, at least at night, when there are people around.

The more people there are, the more peace of mind there is.

I always feel like I won’t be the first to die.

Li Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of the memories of his previous life.

Sometimes, people always long to have others pity them.

There are so many people outside the city wall. Why do people in the city not open the door to save people every time it rains? Why do they still return here after every rainstorm despite countless begging and expectations.

Just for that elusive hope, I hope that I can get lucky and reach the sky in one step.

Longing for the gates to be opened to let them in.

Desire to be a city man.

Countless lessons told them that it was impossible, they couldn't get in, and the people in the city wouldn't care whether they lived or died.

However, they never give up.

They are a group of people who place their hopes on others.

Some people came and some people left.

But the city gate has never been opened for them.
