Chapter 60 60
Wen Jiuze could feel the anxiety in his heart, but the more anxious he was, the calmer he became.
Taking some ammunition and weapons, Wen Jiuze boarded the speedboat alone. Standing at the bow, he controlled the direction with one hand and held his weapon ready with the other hand.
The zombies in the river are like water lily leaves floating on the river, stacked up layer upon layer. Some of them are rotten, and when they hear any movement, they will raise their rotten faces from the water.
They were attracted by the sound and approached the speedboat, but they did not sense any human presence, so they were not excited and not many climbed onto the boat.
Wen Jiu raised the muzzle of his gun and shot the zombie clinging to the side of the boat in the head.
The body fell into the water and was pushed away by the speedboat, splashing gray-black water onto the side of the boat.
This river was severely polluted in the past, but people living along the river still used the water and fished here. Now there are so many zombies in the water that the water has turned gray and black and is completely unusable.
If this kind of water is consumed, it may infect people with the virus.
After passing the collapsed bridge across the river, the speedboat approached the river bank of Donghai City. The closer to the bank, the more zombies piled up.
Because there are no living people in Donghai City, and there is an endless sea on the other side, the zombies chase humans and can only slowly move to the other side of the river.
When these zombies that cannot swim cover the river surface, the hundreds of millions of zombies in Donghai City will follow the path paved by their "predecessors" and begin to gradually step onto the other side of the land, migrating towards places where there are living people like geese flying south.
When they were almost close to the shore, the speedboat was completely unable to move. Wen Jiuze simply jumped off the speedboat with his things on his back, and walked towards the shore on the piles of zombies and the stinking black water.
It was a terrible feeling, like stepping into rotten meat and having the corpse under your feet occasionally struggle suddenly.
For humans, this is the swamp of death.
Captain Shen Zhang told Wen Jiuze that the previous action team failed to retreat successfully and left behind vehicles and some weapons in Donghai City.
He now had to find a usable vehicle and head to the biological research institute that Wen Yi mentioned.
A very strange situation has emerged in Donghai City today.
There are still many zombies trapped in the prosperous area of the city center, and they are wandering around like headless flies.
Many zombies in the central area moved to the outer areas and almost all gathered in the exit circle, making it difficult to enter the city and difficult to go deep into the city center. Only the middle area has the least zombies.
The vehicles left behind by the previous team are in that area.
Wen Jiuze found the vehicle left behind by the team. He ignored the blood dragging on the car, got into the wide-open door, and asked for something usable.
We started the car and headed straight to the biological research institute according to the map provided by Wen Yi and the others.
It seemed that there had been a great chaos in Donghai City. Many roads were crowded with cars, and countless zombies were blocked in the middle of the road.
There were roadblocks made of debris at the entrances of many communities and buildings. Perhaps the people inside had resisted stubbornly, but unfortunately, Donghai City, which had become an isolated island, did not allow them to hold out for long.
Countless roadblocks were placed on every road, and many roads were completely blocked and damaged.
Wen Jiuze changed route after route, but finally found that there was no way to go and he had to clear a way out.
He got out of the car with his weapon ready, used explosives to attract the wandering zombies, and drove as many zombies as possible around into a street.
Then they walked up to the buildings on both sides, calculated the position and angle, installed the explosive devices, blew up part of the buildings on both ends of the road, and blocked the zombies in the front and back of an entire street.
Use the least amount of ammunition to achieve the best effect.
The team members stationed on the other side of the river in Donghai City could hear explosions one after another in the distant city, and occasionally the sound of buildings collapsing.
This huge noise lasted from day to night, and except for a short while in between, it never stopped.
No one in the team could sleep that night. The few special recruits who had spoken coldly at the beginning were now speechless after hearing the rumbling noise.
When the soldiers heard the sound, they all began to feel sorry for their ammunition, as they usually used it sparingly during missions.
Captain Shen Zhang was still dealing with the ship's affairs, and he couldn't help but wonder: Did they equip Wen Jiuze with so many weapons and ammunition?
No, but Wen Jiuze would find the best resources available. In the end times, everything is in short supply, and he is also an expert at scouting for talent.
Donghai City is so big that there are guns, ammunition and usable weapons in many places. After a little processing and modification, he will be able to blast a path through.
These are all free things, so Wen Jiuze doesn't feel sorry at all.
He would only choose the most efficient method, brute force.
After dealing with the zombies and the cars blocking the road, he found a bulldozer used for road construction and rudely drove the bulldozer to push all the cars blocking the road to both sides.
No matter if they were small cars worth tens of thousands or luxury cars worth millions, including the zombies trapped in the cars, they were all randomly squeezed together by him and swept aside.
A road of death that has swallowed countless lives, a death block that the previous two teams failed to pass, was blown up and pushed by Wen Jiuze, turning it into a "zombie road of death" in another sense.
He spent two days and one night clearing a path leading directly to the Institute of Biology.
The team led by Shen Zhang had not caught up yet, but Wen Jiuze didn't care. He always worked alone and didn't need help from anyone.
His previous experience with the team taught him that having more people does not mean things will go more smoothly. Instead, more people may lead to stagnation and intrigue.
He would rather control the progress of the task himself and complete it as quickly as possible in the shortest time.
Entering the biological research institute to retrieve things is the most troublesome part of this mission.
Wen Jiuze was covered in dirt. He grabbed his stiff fingers and rubbed them, then picked up the toolbox and went to open the door of the research institute.
Captain Shen Zhang is a very stable person. He has detailed plans for everything he does and will think of a way out before doing anything. It is precisely because of his stability that General Hao arranged for him to complete this mission.
Knowing the failure and danger level of the previous two operations, even though Wen Jiuze was there this time, Captain Shen Zhang made careful arrangements to ensure that even if Wen Jiuze failed, they could continue to complete the mission.
But what he didn't expect was that just when he had made arrangements and successfully got a team of dozens of people across the river safely to the shore of Donghai City, and the whole team was preparing to move forward, he saw Wen Jiuze coming back.
He drove back with the mission items, valuable laboratory equipment and data.
Captain Shen Zhang: “…”
We just got off the boat?
He was speechless for a rare moment, and Wen Jiuze urged him impatiently: "If you're worried, you can check it out."
"No problem, just go back."
He didn't forget any of the quest items, and he didn't take any extra things that were not on the quest list.
The main thing is to just complete the job you are responsible for and not contribute any more.
Captain Shen Zhang, who was not in good condition, was still a little dazed after checking everything.
That's it? Mission accomplished?
There was no sign of confusion on his face, and he even remembered to ask the soldiers to carefully load the things onto the ship and ship them back.
When we returned to the shore and were about to set off back to Beizheng Base, a soldier next to me muttered, "We didn't do anything. Are we just here to be porters?"
Captain Shen Zhang came back to his senses, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "That's not bad, everyone can go back safely."
Someone looked at Wen Jiuze who got on the bus and sat back in his old seat and couldn't help but say, "I want to be a zombie like this, too. It's really convenient to complete tasks."
Several special talents who did not have the chance to display their special talents also got on the bus in a daze, and were taken back in the same way.
Who would have thought that this task, which was supposed to take several months, was completed in less than a month, and the most time-consuming part was actually the travel.
It was like a difficult exam, where the most difficult questions were open-book and they just had to copy.
On the way back, Wen Jiuze was still as cold and aloof as when he came, but the atmosphere in the car was much better this time. The soldiers had smiles on their faces and some even dared to chat in front of Wen Jiuze.
When the team was resting, Wen Jiuze went to the nearby river to fetch water and rinsed himself twice.
He was soaking wet, and he raised his arm to smell it, and he always felt that there was a strange smell on his body.
After washing several times, Wen Jiuze stood up from the river and put on his clothes. He picked up a small red box next to his clothes, opened it, looked at it, and put it in his pocket.
I don’t know if Xue Ling is used to being alone in the base, and whether she is being excluded.
At this moment, Xue Ling is ready to go to the northwest with a team of a hundred people.
This is an unexpected and sudden mission.
A day ago, the base received news that Academician Ji Shiping was still alive, but trapped in the ancient city of Longan.
With Academician Ji Shiping's qualifications and status, even Rong Lanjia can call him a senior.
When the end of the world happened, he was nearly eighty years old, but still working hard at his job.
He was one of the first people to study zombie viruses, and it was he who proposed that zombie viruses might come from the universe. After that large-scale meteorite shower, Academician Ji Shiping decisively proposed to study these meteorites and find ways to defeat the zombie virus.
At that time, most of the meteorites fell in the northwest. Academician Ji Shiping was unwilling to wait at the northern base for the soldiers to go to the northwest to bring back meteorite samples.
He believed that every minute and every second should be seized, so he took several students and headed to the northwest under the escort of a team of soldiers despite all obstacles.
Three years have passed since they left. There has been no news of them at the Beizheng base, and the people sent out later could not find any trace of them. As time went by, they all assumed that they had died.
The one who returned this time was one of the soldiers who were originally sent to protect Academician Ji Shiping. He and two of his comrades came back to report the news and ask for help. They encountered many dangers on the way, and in the end he was the only one who arrived safely at the Beizheng Base.
The news he brought said that Academician Ji Shiping had been staying in the northwest, initially in a Gobi Desert research institute, and later moved two or three times. During this time, he had been studying zombie viruses and meteorites, and had made great breakthroughs.
However, he was too old and had worked too hard for too long, so he was in poor health and fell ill. The experiment came to a standstill, and then he encountered a large-scale zombie crisis.
They took Academician Ji Shiping and several researchers and left their original base and hid in the ancient city of Longan.
"We are short of supplies, and most importantly, we have no doctors and medicine. Academician Ji is in very bad condition."
The soldier's face was full of worry. He was afraid that Academician Ji would not be able to hold on while they were on the road.
General Hao and Academician Rong Langjia held a meeting overnight and decided on the candidates who would go to the northwest.
The operational team this time consists of up to 200 people, who will bring supplies and weapons to provide support, as well as doctors and medical vehicles.
Wen Yi also prepared to go on the trip in place of her teacher to exchange the research results of both sides and assist in the research.
Academician Ji was too important, so General Hao came personally to ask Xue Ling to go with him, as many things would be much more convenient with her around.
Xue Ling agreed. She was only worried about one thing: "If Wen Jiuze comes back, he might get angry. If he does something inappropriate, please don't blame him."
General Hao said: "Don't worry, we understand your family's concerns and dissatisfaction, and we will definitely handle it for you!"
