It was the same morning as usual. They exercised and ate breakfast afterward.
The difference was that they were leaving today!
Everyone packed their luggage in an orderly manner at the speed of the troops gathering. They quietly and quickly dodged the zombies and got into the car, leaving the zombies far behind.
The smog had weakened, and the visibility had improved significantly.
Despite this, everyone still wore protective goggles and masks in the car to reduce the chances of skin contact with the air as much as possible.
The ice on the road had basically melted. The snow water mixed with the fog in the air, the soil on the ground, and the cars parked haphazardly. The entire street was wet and dirty, and it did not feel clean and beautiful at all.
After walking for a while, he occasionally saw a convoy of survivors, but they all passed by coldly. In the past, when they saw survivors, although they hesitated, they still wanted to strike up a conversation with them and travel together. Now that the apocalypse had only passed less than a month, people's vigilance had already become so high. Was it lucky or unlucky?!
To a certain extent, it was advantageous for the Hope Squad. They were not a team that liked to talk to people casually, especially when most of the people who tried to strike up a conversation were either asking for help or had bad intentions.
The supermarkets and food stores along the way were looted as expected.
The team was prepared to use the second plan-to go to the food factory!
A military cargo truck was driving on a small road 10 kilometers away from the food factory. The driver was a young man in his 20s. As he drove, he said to a man in his 30s in military uniform sitting in the passenger seat,"Fortunately, the smog has finally subsided. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to drive…Captain Zhang, this food factory shouldn't have been searched, right?”
"Speak with a mask on!" Zhang Zhaohui scolded.
"It should be fine in the car! My car window is tightly closed..." The young man muttered. When he saw Zhang Zhaohui's glare, he quickly put on his mask.
Zhang Zhaohui then answered his previous question,""I don't think so. Our base is the largest in City X. The others are all scattered soldiers. Even if we find this place, we can't take all the food with us.”
The young man heaved a sigh of relief, as if Zhang Zhaohui's judgment must be true.
When Li Xi and the others were about to arrive at the food factory, they saw a few men with guns coming out of a large truck from afar.
The other party had obviously noticed them as well, and they all stopped in their tracks to be on guard.
"Captain Zhang!" The other members of the search team looked at Zhang Zhaohui for advice.
"Act according to the situation!" It was not the first time Zhang Zhaohui had encountered a private survivor team in a search mission. Sometimes they would cooperate, sometimes they would kill, and sometimes they would not bother each other. It all depended on who the other party was and whether they would take the initiative to provoke them. There were many people who thought highly of themselves in the apocalypse.
Li Xi and the others were not surprised. The chances of encountering survivors in places related to food were always high. However, he did not expect such a big guy to come. It was obvious that the base had sent a resource search team.
"It's not the search team we saw that day. Could it be another team?" Yu Xiaowei was puzzled.”
"How can there be only one search team in the base?”Guo Rui rolled his eyes at him.
Yu Xiaowei was thick-skinned, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all even though he was despised. He changed the topic as if nothing had happened." Do you think they will cooperate with us or…" He made a throat-cutting gesture.
“……”
As they spoke, the car stopped.
"Xiao Wei, go scout first and find the location of the finished product warehouse. Ah Xi and Ah Ji will follow and cover.”Zeng Zhiqiang turned around in the driver's seat and ordered.
Zhang Zhaohui and the others saw the car opposite stop, but only three people got out. They were all dressed in the same uniform and fully equipped. Although there were ten people on his side, they did not dare to underestimate the enemy. They were hesitating whether to take the initiative to greet him. Such a person looked very strong, so it would not be wrong to befriend him.
However, before they could say anything, the zombies could not wait to break the silence and show their enthusiasm to everyone!
The scene immediately entered a state of preparation.
Li Xi and the other two formed a triangular formation with Yu Xiaowei leading the way as they walked towards the gate.
This was a canned food factory, mainly producing canned meat and vegetables.
The electric door of the factory gate was open, probably opened when the employees escaped after the incident, which made it convenient for vehicles to enter and exit.
When Li Xi was in the car, he had already used his spiritual power to explore the layout of the factory and knew the specific location of the finished product warehouse. She didn't want to use her superpower to solve all the problems before she faced life and death. This would make the team members dependent on each other, which was not conducive to their growth. What she wanted was a strong and cooperative team, not a group of teammates who only knew how to hide behind her.
There were several trucks parked in the corridor, and there were dried blood stains on the driver's door. It seemed that someone had tried to get into the car but failed to escape. There were still bloody and broken limbs on the ground. After being covered in ice and snow and then melting, the wet feeling was even more disgusting.
There was a dormitory area in the factory. Most of the workers were migrant workers. When they were unconscious, they slept in the dormitory. One could imagine how many people were infected after the zombification. Most of the employees in the factory could not escape the misfortune.
A small portion of the zombies wandered out of the factory, but most of them were still wandering around in the factory in a disorderly manner. It was unknown if they thought that living people would come to their door sooner or later, but they just stayed there and did not come out.
Yu Xiaowei first found the factory map. The three of them followed the instructions and approached the warehouse while gesturing to Zeng Zhiqiang to follow.
A roar that was different from a zombie's shocked everyone present. It was a mutated Tibetan Mastiff! It pounced at the three people who were close to it. There was still a broken chain hanging from its neck. Its sharp teeth were exposed, and its fur had fallen off. It was tall and had a strange appearance that was fierce and ugly. It did not have the majestic and beautiful appearance before it mutated at all.
It was unknown if it was out of instinct, but it pounced on the weakest Yu Xiaowei. Although it was not the first time he had faced a mutated animal, Yu Xiaowei was still very nervous. From the corner of his eye, he saw Li Xi and Zheng Ji beside him. He immediately felt relieved. He was not fighting alone now! I'm not afraid!
Using his newly-learned zombie-killing technique, he slashed at the Tibetan Mastiff's weak spots. Unfortunately, the mutated Tibetan Mastiff was much more agile than the zombies and immediately dodged. Yu Xiaowei did not have the time to retract his momentum due to inertia. Seeing that the Tibetan Mastiff had jumped up again, he nervously wondered if he could avoid it by falling to the left. He stretched out his leg and kicked it fiercely. The mutated Tibetan Mastiff fell into the distance in a parabola. The sound of landing made everyone who heard it feel pain for it. It did not feel that way. It continued to climb up and pounced again.
Li Xi and Zheng Ji used a code word. When it jumped into the air, the two of them flew up and slashed at its two forelimbs. The Tibetan Mastiff's head was not easy to cut off at once, so they could only cut off its two limbs first. Sure enough, the Tibetan Mastiff, which had lost two limbs, could not maintain its balance and fell to the ground. Its hind legs were still trying hard to support its entire body.
Seizing the opportunity, Yu Xiaowei slashed at its head. The two of them would let him deal with the zombies alone, while they would guard against other zombies who would take advantage of the situation.
After Wei finished dealing with the mutated Tibetan Mastiff, the three of them continued to move toward the warehouse. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the warehouse. At the same time, the car followed closely behind. Zeng Zhiqiang stopped the car, and the three of them quickly got out of the car and approached Li Xi and the others.
Yu Xiaowei tried to open the door, but it wasn't locked! It meant that there were people inside. No, it was more likely that there were zombies!
The others also understood what was going on and made defensive preparations. Yu Xiaowei pushed the door open with great force. Li Xi and Zheng Ji pointed their guns in the direction where zombies might appear.
The noise attracted the zombies who were taking a walk. They seemed to have pressed the accelerator switch, swinging their legs and rushing over. There were nearly a hundred zombies in the warehouse that was about 1,000 square meters! It seemed that they had initially wanted to wait for the government's rescue, but when they saw that there was no hope, they decided to use this place as a temporary base. Unfortunately, they had only food and no weapons. In the end, they joined the zombie army!
"Ah Ji, Xiao Wei and I will move the goods. The remaining three will cover!”Zeng Zhiqiang intended to let Zhao Ledan and Guo Rui practice more. With Li Xi protecting him, he was not too worried about the safety of the two. He quickly ran to the manual fork lift, pushed it, and then ran to the goods pile. Yu Xiaowei and Zheng Ji moved the canned food boxes onto the fork lift.
The other three had their backs to them and formed a circle, protecting them inside. Li Xi was in the middle. She had to take care of Zhao Ledan and Guo Rui's safety.
Zhao Ledan did not use her signature frying pan anymore. After a few days of training, she had already learned basic combat skills. She held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands and used the smallest and most concentrated force to achieve the best effect. Although he couldn't cut off the zombie's head with one slash, he could at least cut off its hands or legs in one go to prevent the zombies from getting close. At the same time, he wouldn't waste any extra strength.
Guo Rui was also accumulating actual combat experience. He had been training every day and had made some progress, which boosted his confidence. His teammates 'escort at the side also increased his courage.
