Chapter 24 Special Service Squadron

"The leader is Lu Shaoyang. They're from the special operations squadron of the 11th Armed Police Detachment. Each squadron is responsible for a specific evacuation route, and they're responsible for the Peking University Town route. These people will first evacuate to the temporary assembly point in the east, and then withdraw from N City together in two days, heading to the military base on the border between N City and J City."

"Why are there so few people?" Gu Chao frowned.

There are at least 30,000 people in the Peking University Town area, but only a few dozen people were sent to evacuate?

"They said they didn't understand zombies at first, and they lost a lot of people."

"So they're going to give up the search?"

Cheng Ming nodded.

"Yes, they came here mainly to collect supplies. They said the temporary base was running out of food. Many of the supplies they found were taken away by people from the military base. They said they would directly bring people over when the time comes."

"Are there any people with special abilities?"

"Yes, their squadron consists of 32 people. Two were killed along the way. There are five psychics: two for strength, one for speed, one for gold, and one for earth. But from what they said, they're not very useful."

Gu Chao raised his eyebrows, maybe he hadn’t found a way.

"You and Lin Cong, Yan Song, Yan Wei, and Hang Yuan should grab the remaining items and go to the assembly point with them. I'll take Zhang Rui and Lu Ming to help them collect the supplies."

Cheng Ming agreed and went to find Lu Shaoyang.

Lu Shaoyang tilted his head to look, and said something to Cheng Ming, standing by the car waiting.

Cheng Ming nodded from a distance and asked the others to move their things.

Gu Chao called Zhang Rui and Lu Ming and came to the door of the armored vehicle.

Lu Shaoyang was wearing a dark green camouflage police uniform and a helmet. He looked tired, but his facial features were still masculine and deep. He was about the same height as Gu Chao and had a righteous look on his face.

Lu Shaoyang was also sizing up the three people across from him. Not to mention the two men, even though they were dressed in casual clothes, they couldn't conceal their powerful aura. It was obvious at a glance that they weren't ordinary people. But this girl...

He extended his hand, "I'm Lu Shaoyang, thank you for your enthusiastic help."

Gu Chao shook hands again and also gave his name.

Lu Shaoyang didn't feel Gu Chao was cold. He just looked at Lu Ming and said to Gu Chao, "I hope you can take good care of yourselves. We really don't have any more manpower here. Thank you for your understanding."

"Don't worry." It's not certain who will take care of whom...

Lu Shaoyang nodded. "The armored vehicles and transport vehicles will go separately. We still need to broadcast to the residential area. We will meet at the school gate and then go to the other two schools. Look, you guys..."

Gu Chao turned his head and said, "Xiao Rui, you follow them to broadcast. He can be a machine gunner, or you can give him a rifle." The last sentence was said to Lu Shaoyang.

"I'll take her to help you collect supplies. We are familiar with the route." He pointed at Luming again.

Lu Shaoyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Okay, get in the car."

The two men came to the side of the vehicle. This type of transport vehicle was a common military model. The cargo bed was transparent, with semicircular iron frames on the top, and no green canopy.

A soldier tilted his head to listen to something, pressed the headset, "Got it, Captain." Then he directed another person to open the back door.

Gu Chao jumped into the car, turned around and pulled Lu Ming up.

The car started quickly, and Gu Chao and Lu Ming sat aside, leaning against the wall of the car.

The soldiers looked very tired and dirty. It seemed they hadn't changed their clothes in a long time.

They looked at Gu Chao and Lu Ming with curiosity. After all, there were not many people who could keep their clothes clean and energetic for such a long time.

The man with the headphones came over and handed a walkie-talkie to Gu Chao, "Just tell the driver how to go."

Gu Chao took it and nodded.

He extended his hand again, "My name is Zhou Ping, and your name is Gu Chao, right?"

After receiving a positive answer, Zhou Ping looked at Lu Ming with a smile, "Is this classmate from N University? Thank you very much." They all thought that it was this girl who was mainly giving directions.

Lu Ming replied with a smile, "Yes, my name is Lu Ming, hello." She also stretched out her hand.

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Ming's white, tender and slender hands, and his own hands were so dirty, he felt a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand hesitantly.

Lu Ming didn't care at all. She took the initiative to shake his hand, then quickly let go, appearing very cheerful and generous.

The other three soldiers were impressed by Lu Ming's behavior. They all smiled and winked at Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping smiled awkwardly, walked over and sat down next to them, glaring at them several times. Those people laughed even more, and Zhou Ping slapped each of them on the head.

Lu Ming was amused by a few people. He glanced at the guns on their chests, rolled his eyes, waved to Gu Chao who had no expression on his face, then leaned close to him and whispered a few words.

Gu Chao looked at Lu Ming disapprovingly. Lu Ming clasped his hands together and bowed with a pleading look in his eyes.

Gu Chao had no choice but to use the intercom to point the driver in the direction of the small cafeteria, then asked Zhou Ping, "Do you have any guns? We'll need someone to cover us when we move things later."

Zhou Ping thought about it, nodded, and took a gun from the armory box in the corner, loaded it with two magazines, and handed it over. "Do you know how to use it?"

Gu Chao didn't answer. He took a look and recognized it as a Type 95-1 5.8mm automatic rifle. He took it and neatly removed the magazine to check the bullets, loaded it, adjusted the rate of fire knob above the grip, and looked up at Zhou Ping.

The four of them were secretly shocked. This was definitely a veteran.

One of the soldiers, who had a round face and looked like a high school student, couldn't help but say, "Sure, brother, you've practiced before, right?"

A big guy next to him laughed and said, "This is one of the sharpshooters in our squadron. He likes to show off his skills with others when he has nothing to do. Brother, teach him a lesson."

The baby-faced man scolded with a smile, "Go away, go away, what time is it now? Who still has time to compete? The bullets are almost out."

Before Gu Chao could answer, the car suddenly shook and stopped.

Several people quickly calmed down and became serious.

Zhou Ping made a gesture and led them out of the car and into the cafeteria. The cafeteria had been cleared long ago, so Gu Chao and Lu Ming did not get out of the car. He took the opportunity to teach Lu Ming how to shoot.

"Hold the handle... yes, hold the barrel steady with your left hand, rest the tail against your shoulder, then look down at a line. The front sight is your target. This knob changes the speed, single shot or burst. To change the magazine, push hard here, pull it out, and insert a new one. Then press this button... get it?"

Lu Ming tried it herself and nodded, "Almost there." She'd actually learned the theory before meeting them, but she hadn't put it into practice yet. She'd originally considered training, but then she realized that suddenly hitting the target with every shot, even though she hadn't been able to shoot before, would be too suspicious. She'd better practice on the spot.

Gu Chao reminded her again, "You have to wear gloves, otherwise they will be very hot. The recoil is very strong, you have to hold it tightly against your shoulder sockets, don't force it."

Although Lu Ming was a novice and shouldn't have been able to use a rifle so soon, she was a psychic and had the basic skills for shooting in terms of strength, speed, and vision. With proper training, she would be no worse than a veteran, so Gu Chao agreed to teach her.

Gu Chao took back the gun and said, "Watch me demonstrate first."

Just then, two soldiers pulled out a small cart. On it were stacked bags of rice and flour. Two others stood guard, their rifles drawn. The cart's wheels scraped against the floor, making a loud noise. The zombies outside the cafeteria gathered around, hearing the noise.

Gu Chao stood on the car, occupying a high position, specifically aiming at the zombies in the back row, trying not to overlap with other people's targets to avoid wasting bullets.

The two shooters noticed it and marveled at his accurate shooting skills. The baby-faced man was even more excited.

Lu Ming squatted on the truck bed and stretched out his hand to the big man who was pulling the cart over. "Here, hand me the things."

Big guy: “…?”
