Wang Lan equipped Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang with their respective weapons.
Old Zhang mainly uses machine guns and automatic rifles, and also carries a large number of proper hand grenades. Because of his poor physical condition, Wang Lan gave him as much firepower as possible so that he could eliminate danger before it got close.
Sun Muchen only needs two sniper rifles and a few pistols, because he has an almost perfect accuracy, making sniper rifles the most suitable option.
Wang Lan, on the other hand, only carried two shotguns on his back. Although he had the skill of "gun user", he still preferred close combat.
"Wang Lan, do we really need to take so much stuff?" Old Zhang was panting heavily, utterly exhausted, after carrying all the weapons and equipment. "So many infected rushed out just now. Even if there are still infected, how many could there be?"
“It’s always good to have a backup plan,” Wang Lan said. “Don’t forget how many people the final fortress selected from the safe zone alone? That doesn’t even include the original inhabitants inside the fortress. Although there were a lot of infected people just now, I don’t believe that it was all the infected people. By the way, how did you manage to create this equipment wall?”
Old Zhang laboriously raised his hand and pointed to the back of the car, "Over there, there should be some kind of switch on the ground. When I walked over there, I felt like I stepped on something."
Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen immediately went over.
She stared at the ground behind the car and quickly found the switch that Lao Zhang had mentioned. There were two of them, the same color as the ground, and they were only slightly raised. They would not be noticed unless you looked closely.
One of the switches still had Old Zhang's footprints on it, so it seemed to be the switch that controlled the equipment wall, while the other one was blank. Sun Muchen stepped on it.
"Waaah—"
The unique, deep rumble of machinery then rang out, echoing and amplifying throughout the empty fortress, followed by the sound of gears turning and belts pulling.
About ten meters in front of the vehicle, a straight crack suddenly appeared on the ground. The crack continued to widen, and the ground was split in two, with a bright orange-yellow light shining through it. It was a light that Wang Lan and the others had never seen before!
The group hurried to the front of the vehicle. As they watched the unfolding scene on the ground, their hearts pounded with excitement, anticipating what astonishing sights would appear below.
The gap grew larger and larger, soon expanding to a width of nearly ten meters, revealing a straight, clean, and wide road that seemed to extend infinitely downwards.
Old Zhang said excitedly, "I understand now. Are these vehicles meant to be used as a means of getting down below, for us to drive down?"
Wang Lan was also incredibly excited at that moment, and said, "Who cares? We'll find out once we drive down!"
"Wait, bro!"
Sun Muchen suddenly called out to them, frowning as he said, "Listen carefully, isn't there some strange sound coming from down here?"
These words startled the two of them. Then they slowly walked towards the wide road ahead. As they saw more and more roads, suddenly, a figure appeared crookedly in their sight.
"Someone's there!"
"wrong!"
Wang Lan immediately said that his eyesight was much better than Lao Zhang's, and he could tell at a glance that the other party was not human.
"They're infected!"
As soon as he said it, Old Zhang shuddered, and the weight of his equipment made his legs go weak, causing him to collapse to the ground.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Sun Muchen aimed at the infected person and shot him in the head.
However, the sound startled Old Zhang again. Just as he was about to reprimand Sun Muchen, a roar suddenly came from below the road, and then a large number of infected people appeared in sight and ran out.
Old Zhang was so frightened his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, close the door!"
"Why are you closing the door!" Wang Lan shouted. "How are we going to get down if we don't take them down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lan reached out and pulled out the machine gun from Lao Zhang's back, and opened fire on the infected rushing below.
Seeing the infected fall one after another, Old Zhang finally realized that things were different now. They now had enough weapons and were not afraid of these infected at all.
Thinking this way, Old Zhang's fear lessened considerably. He sat on the ground and pulled the trigger, firing at the infected.
However, their marksmanship was so poor that although bullets poured out like a storm, very few hit the head; most hit the body, which was not enough to kill the infected.
Sun Muchen fired sniper rifles from the rear, but one person's strength is limited. Although his aim was accurate, there were too many infected people for him to kill.
As the army of infected drew closer, Old Zhang pulled out a grenade and threw it into the pile of infected. The explosion had a surprisingly good effect, and the infected were instantly blown to pieces, dead beyond any hope of survival.
Seeing this, Wang Lan had a sudden inspiration and quickly ran back to the equipment wall, took down a machine gun called a Gatling gun, and held it in his hand.
As the barrel spun, the bullet shot out in a flash of sparks, the powerful firepower seemingly drawing out a long trail of flame that swept across the infected.
Their bodies were instantly shattered by the dense hail of Gatling gun bullets, and they fell one after another amidst their unwavering roars.
Despite their large numbers, under such dense and powerful firepower, the infected's advance was tantamount to suicide.
Old Zhang ran out of bullets and called Sun Muchen to the side of a car.
Old Zhang pointed to the fuel tank cap and said, "Remember this spot. When I drive the car down and it hits an infected person, shoot here."
Sun Muchen nodded.
Old Zhang got into the car, started it, and the car slowly drove off.
Wang Lan had run out of bullets and was about to go back to resupply when he saw Lao Zhang driving this way.
What are you going to do?
Old Zhang stuck his head out of the window and said, "I'll give them a good meal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Zhang slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped up considerably. He then opened the car door and jumped out.
The car headed straight downhill, its speed increasing rapidly. Just as it struck the first infected person, Old Zhang shouted, "Sun Muchen, fire!"
Bang!
Gunshots rang out!
The bullet spun out of the muzzle, which was spitting flames, and hit the fuel tank with perfect accuracy!
