Chapter 342 After Returning to the City (Part 1)
In the blink of an eye, almost seven hours passed from morning to dusk.
Luo Ren swallowed the remaining half of the compressed dry food in his hand and looked back at the armored vehicle behind him. He saw that the door of the armored vehicle had been removed, and the door frames on both sides had been forcibly opened. A stone box two meters long and wide separated the inner space. All occupied.
This is what he said it can be used after modification.
Suddenly he stretched out and saw that it was already dusk. He couldn't help but think of the mother's corpse. After such a long time, the mother's corpse should have returned to its normal shape.
Just as he was thinking this, Su Anmin came over and said, "Sir Luo, it's been almost seven hours. Let's go see how the mother's body is doing."
Luo Ren nodded and happily accepted the invitation.
The two of them quickly came to the center of the city, where the Corpse Hall was. Because the danger had been eliminated and they only needed to keep an eye on the mother's corpse, there were only four or five people left here.
Several people led by Hu Ning came up to welcome the general. They were very respectful and greeted in unison: "Team leader, Chief Luo."
Su Anmin nodded slightly and asked, "How is the mother's body doing now?"
Hu Ning replied: "Report to the team leader that the female corpse has returned to normal size and is restrained by us and cannot escape."
"Very good." Su Anmin nodded with satisfaction and said to Luo Ren, "Then let's go take a look."
Hu Ning was very discerning and immediately made a gesture and said: "Please."
Luo Ren and Su Anmin followed Hu Ning into the Corpse Hall. At this time, the Corpse Hall was bright and clear, and the smell of dead fish in the room was much lighter, because there was a big hole in the top. It was Hu Ning and the others. masterpiece.
Hu Ning pointed out his hand and said, "Two officers, look, that is the mother's corpse after it has returned to normal size."
There was no need for him to remind Luo Ren and Su Anmin when they entered the corpse hall and saw the mother's corpse. The mother's corpse was tied up with a two-finger-thick hemp rope and her head was left breathing, like a living mummy.
When the female corpse saw them coming in, it immediately opened its mouth wide and let out a shrill howl like a ghost demanding its life. Its round eyes were full of fear, and it tried hard to break free and break the rope on its body. Unfortunately, Not strong enough, he could only squirm like a caterpillar.
As Luo Ren, Su Anmin, and Hu Ning approached, the fear in its eyes became more obvious, and its howling became more and more shrill.
Luo Ren frowned slightly, feeling that the howling was too harsh. He looked at Su Anmin and said, "Can I knock it out? This thing is too disturbing."
Su Anmin shook his head and said: "It's best not to hurt the mother corpse, otherwise it may affect the growth of baby corpses in the future." After thinking for a while, he continued: "You can try covering its eyes and plugging its ears. , or be able to calm it down.”
He did what he thought of, and he immediately ordered: "Hu Ning, go find something to plug the ears of the mother corpse, and cover the eyes of the mother corpse."
"Yes." Hu Ning responded and left the Corpse Hall.
Hu Ning came back soon, holding a black rag and an earphone in his hand. Judging from the shape, the earphone should have been removed from the tank. It was very effective in terms of sound isolation and noise reduction.
Cover the eyes of the female corpse with rags, and then put on headphones. After a second look, it looks like a fusion of ancient Egyptian civilization and modern civilization. It is very fashionable.
As expected, Su Anmin guessed correctly. The blindfolded female corpse with her ears blocked immediately stopped howling and turned her head blankly. She didn't know what she was thinking about at this moment when her head was filled with dark red blood. What a mess.
Su Anmin ordered again: "Hu Ning, take the mother's body and let's leave here."
Hu Ning, the tool man, nodded in agreement, rolled up his sleeves, carried the mother's corpse and followed Luo Ren and Su Anmin out of the corpse hall.
Walking on the road, Luo Ren looked up and saw that the moon had appeared and the night sky was dotted with several bright stars. He looked back at the mother's body on Hu Ning's shoulder and asked, "It's dark now and there is no strong light from the sun. Will the female corpse regain its previous huge size?”
Su Anmin said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't give it flesh and blood, it won't recover."
Luo Ren felt relieved and returned to the army. Although it was getting late, he said: "It is too dangerous to travel at night. It is better to rest here for one night and return to the city at dawn tomorrow."
Su Anmin agreed with this. Now that they are running out of ammunition and food, their team's main defense force is the remaining dozens of evolvers. To protect the mother corpse and the three alien technologies, they must be more cautious.
Three or five bonfires were raised. Only the evolved ones did not hide in armored vehicles or tanks. The remaining more than a thousand people were hiding in vehicles. Although they had weapons, they had no ammunition. It was okay to deal with ordinary zombies, but they had to Facing evolved zombies is almost to death.
The orange flames swayed with the wind, as if dancing. As time went by, the bright moon climbed from the easterly position to directly above people's heads, seeming to intentionally tell people that it was late at night.
By this time, the flames had gone out, and suddenly a strong wind blew, making people's clothes rustle and debris on the ground tumbling.
Hearing the whistling of the wind, Luo Ren closed his eyes to rest and opened his eyes. Two rays of light shot out from them, and his sharp gaze scanned all directions.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, a black shadow flew past his eyes. He picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it with his arms. With a "whoosh" sound, the stone was like a bullet coming out of the barrel. It was extremely fast and hit the shadow in the blink of an eye.
I heard a "Wow——".
"Crow, it's really a biological evolution. If it were in the past, this stone would have knocked down even a pheasant..." Luo Ren muttered to himself after hearing this. After seeing the black shadow flying away, he continued to close his eyes and rest.
The next day, early in the morning.
The dawn sun woke everyone up. After breakfast, the team set out to return to the city. Luo Ren didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment longer. Who knows if there will be any hidden dangers.
Many armored vehicles and tanks drove away from here, and this world returned to peace, of course, it was less lively.
The north wind whistled past, rolling up the dust on the ground. At this moment, a group of black shadows flew over, and the crows' cries of "wa wah wah" could be heard from afar.
Crows surrounded a humanoid creature with black wings on its back and landed steadily at the place where the armored troops disappeared. The humanoid creature's dark eyes rolled, clenched his fists, and said with anger and hatred: "Damn Xia people!
Brother Marutani, you will not die in vain. After I go back, I will report to Commander Songkou. We will never give up!"
The return to the city was much smoother than the way there. There were only two zombie attacks on the way, and the losses were not great under the resistance of dozens of evolvers.
After several hours of journey, they finally arrived at the gate of Chiyang City. The soldiers on the city were very excited to see the return of their superiors. They immediately raised the gate to let this team of more than 10,000 people go and only 2,000 people return to enter the city.
After hearing that Luo Ren and Su Anmin had returned to the city, Su Antong, Liu Lianxin, Liu Yongnian and others rushed to greet them. When they saw that there were only more than 2,000 people left in the returning team, Liu Yongnian's reaction was the most intense.
This middle-aged man actually shed tears in front of his daughter.
There were 8,000 soldiers, but now there were only about 1,000 of them. Whether it was out of his feelings for the soldiers or other reasons, he felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
Although Su Anmin had told him the worst outcome before.
Su Antong was also a sentimental person. At that time, there were only a few hundred of the 5,000 guards. Luo Ren did not react much, but her eyes were red.
"This is a war, there will always be death." Luo Ren came to the front of several people and said, "Death may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. Their lives are not worthless, but they have exchanged for things that allow us who are alive to live better.
So, don't be sad, we should live well and don't let them down."
