Chapter 166: The Back Hill of the Town (Update)
(Updated on 7.4)
This is indeed a money transporter. Huaguo's money transporters are all shaped like trucks, with a high chassis and large space, and an anti-collision truck head. The driving area is connected to the carriage, and the carriage body is a rectangular double-layer design. The internal personnel can enter the driving area from the carriage at any time.
In addition, in addition to the left and right doors of the driving area, the entire vehicle only has a double door at the rear of the carriage, but there is another inner security door inside this door. Both doors are fireproof, bulletproof and explosion-proof, and cannot be easily destroyed.
As for the windows, except for the front windshield and the small window on the driver's door, there is only one window on each side of the car body. Not only is it high and narrow, but there is also a fence installed on the outside. Not only can normal adults not pass through, even animals can't squeeze in. At the same time, all the car windows are explosion-proof and bulletproof.
With such a car, even if they stay outdoors at night, they don't have to worry about the infected.
Because before the infected break into the car, Youxi has already woken up and has time to kill them all.
There are many corpses in the parking lot. The exterior of the white money transport truck is splattered with a lot of blood, but the body is intact, and even the front and rear doors are tightly closed.
This car perfectly meets Youxi's requirements, but they have to find the car key first. If there is no car key, she can only open the door with brute force, and the car will lose its safety and airtight function.
I don't know if they are lucky, but they quickly identified the driver's uniform near the money transporter and successfully found the key from the body.
The tragedy in the town should have happened many days ago. The bodies are all in a state of decay. Even with a mask on, you can smell the nauseating stench.
Min Min's mother wanted to get in the car and drive away quickly, but Min Min held her back: "Mom, don't be in a hurry, something is wrong."
"Sister, what did you find?" Min Cong asked, holding Fang Lei at the same time.
Min Min gestured to You Xi, and a bayonet appeared in her hand. She gestured for them to step back a few steps, stepped forward and carefully opened the two doors of the rear compartment with the car key she found, and quickly stepped back while unlocking the inner door.
A bloody face appeared from the dark light of the compartment. Seeing the people outside, the infected person was extremely excited, and he lay in the compartment and roared continuously, but compared with the previous infected people, his voice seemed much weaker. I don’t know if it was because he was locked in the money transport vehicle for many days without food, so he was in a weaker state.
It is currently known that the infected eat all human food and humans at the same time. They are like hungry beasts, eating everything that can be digested. But they are not greedy, and they prefer to kill rather than bite.
The infected person still had the uniform of the money transport driver hanging on his body, so he must have mutated inside the car. There was no paper money bag in the car, but there was a corpse behind him. It was estimated that when the accident happened, two people were in the car, but one of them mutated and killed the other one.
After observing, You Xi confirmed that there was only this one infected person inside. He took a few steps forward and took advantage of the fact that the other party was afraid of the light and dared not come out, so he directly made a hole in its forehead.
Min Cong breathed a sigh of relief and asked You Xi how he knew there was an infected person inside.
You Xi naturally heard it, but before hearing it, he could also infer it from some things.
For example, this money transport car was obviously intact and a naturally solid body. Since the driver had the key, how could he not have time to get in the car and die nearby?
Even if he died, the people at the bank could tell from his clothes that he was the driver, so how could they not search for the key and drive away the car when they fled?
From this, it can be inferred that it was not that others could not get on the car, but that they did not want to get on the car.
Because there were also infected people in the car, and ordinary people did not know that simple blood contact would not cause infection, they were extremely afraid of the blood of infected people, and there was no way they would leave in a contaminated car.
In any case, they were lucky this time. As long as the inside and outside of the car were cleaned and disinfected, their future journey would be greatly guaranteed.
She took out several bottles of disinfectant from her backpack and handed the cleaning work to Fang Lei, Min Min's mother, and Min Cong. She herself planned to take Min Min to the bank.
As for "You Zhengqing", everyone knew that he was a seriously ill patient, so naturally he didn't need to do anything.
He wanted to follow Youxi into the bank, but she refused: "You stand guard outside."
At the same time, she said to him in her mind: Check if the bank has any cameras with backup power working. If there are, cut off all of them. I know you can do the same thing outside. Don't follow me in this time. The other
person looked at her, and although he didn't have any expression, she could tell that he was a little unhappy.
Youxi thought for a moment, took out a box of orange juice from her backpack, and said again: "Drink orange juice while standing guard."
"..." He seemed a little speechless, and after two seconds of silence, he still took it.
When Youxi and Tongzi walked to the door of the bank, Tongzi's voice came from his mind.
[Done.]
Youxi: Thank you.
[……]
She smiled, installed a silencer on Min Min's hand gun, told her how to hold the gun while walking without hurting her own people, and repeated the method of snatching.
After that, she also took out a gun with a silencer installed and walked in front of her.
**
It is now known that the infected people in this hot spring town have left for some unknown reasons - but there will be fish that slip through the net, just like the money transport truck, which was left behind because it was trapped somewhere.
The bank is not big, but it is winding inside, and there may be many places where such fish slip through the net. Before implementing her idea, she plans to take Min Min to practice and explore the inside first.
Sure enough, inside the bank counter, an infected person who had escaped was lying on the glass of the counter, smiling excitedly because he saw them.
He kept grabbing the glass in front of him, and even knocked on the glass with everything he could get his hands on, but it was useless.
The bank is not big, and the counter is also small inside, but the security work is very good. There is an iron gate installed at the entrance and exit of the counter. The wooden door inside has been damaged by the infected, but because of this iron gate, it still can't get out.
This is a good opportunity for exercise. After Youxi confirmed that other places were safe and clean, he left the infected person to Min Min.
She raised her gun and aimed it at the infected person who had already fallen onto the railing. She looked at his blood-red face, but her trembling fingers could not pull the trigger.
She looked at You Xi who was looking at her calmly, as if waiting for her to make her own choice. Even if she really couldn't do it, she would not force her.
But Min Min knew that if she couldn't do it this time, she would most likely lose something here in Youxi.
What did she lose? She couldn't quite put it into words. It could be trust, or it could be the chance to become the other person's true companion... It was just an intuition.
Min Min bit her lower lip. Yes, she had told the other person yesterday that she was willing to learn everything and do everything, but now...
She calmed down and looked at the bloody face in front of her again. She hadn't seen what her father looked like when he became a completely infected person, and she didn't know if she would have the courage to kill her father herself.
But she knew that if she was infected, she would definitely not want to continue living in this ghostly appearance.
She would kill herself.
Min Min raised her hand again, her fingers still trembling, so she used both hands, aimed between the eyes of the infected person, and pulled the trigger hard.
Puff - the silenced pistol shot out without making any sound. The infected person lay on the railing for a few seconds and finally slid to the ground.
"Not bad for the first time, keep it up." You Xi came over and rubbed her head through the protective suit, then reminded her to buckle up.
After that, You Xi violently opened the gate and took her into the counter. There was only this one infected person here, and because there were no humans for him to wreak havoc, there was not much blood. You Xi opened
the drawers of the counter one by one and put all the cash inside into a carry-on bag.
"There should be a lot more in the safe at the back." Min Min didn't ask her why she took the money, but just reminded her. Because the money transport truck outside was empty, it meant that the money was still in the bank and had not been loaded onto the truck.
"I'll go check it out, but it's not convenient for us to take the money with consecutive numbers." You Xi said, and his hands moved quickly to pack up all the old non-consecutive banknotes in the counter.
Min Min understood: "That's why you came to the counter first."
After collecting the money from the counter, the hand luggage bag was half full.
You Xi came to the back again, and without avoiding Min Min, he directly took out the [High Temperature Perfume] from his backpack (Xingwu Warehouse), melted the lock of the safe door, and retreated cautiously after opening a gap.
Fortunately, there are no infected people here.
Min Min did not ask Youxi what kind of flame she used to open the door. She had already tacitly accepted Youxi's difference in her heart, and she also understood that curiosity would not help their family of three, so she just quietly did what she could do.
The two of them worked together to put away all the old bills with non-consecutive numbers in the paper bill bags inside. Although the bank was small, there were still a lot of old bills that had been sorted out. They put a total of six large bags and two small bags.
Min Min looked at the bags on the ground, reached out and picked up a small one, indicating that she would go out first and let Youxi take the rest.
Youxi looked at the other person's back and laughed a little.
This girl is not only smart, but also knows how to leave room.
After Youxi finished laughing, she put the remaining seven bags together with the previous travel bag into the Xingwu warehouse, and then walked out of the bank empty-handed.
The other three people didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the two people bringing out a bag of money, they were overjoyed and praised them for their cleverness.
Indeed, in the submerged area, money may be just useless paper, but in the non-submerged area, refugees like them have nothing, and it will be difficult to start all over again.
But now that they have money, they can at least solve the basic problem of food and shelter.
The money truck was cleaned, and the next step was to decorate the exterior and arrange the interior.
Although the town is small, it has all the necessary shops. They found paint from a building materials store, and then found some uncontaminated furniture from the furniture store and camping store next to it: spliced soft mats, adsorbable tables and chairs and small sofas, portable stoves, and several folding cots, and hanging curtains.
Six people worked together, and everyone was busy with their work. It took only two hours to complete the entire task.
The exterior of the white money transporter was changed to camouflage color by green, yellow and black paint, which is more suitable for outdoor use and will not be conspicuous like a target.
Because the floor inside the carriage had been used by corpses and the corpses were severely decayed, although it had been cleaned and disinfected, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
Min Min's mother originally wanted to find a carpet, but later found this thicker spliced soft mat, which was obviously better.
The black and white mats together make the interior of the money transporter feel different.
Afterwards, the curtains separated the body of the vehicle into two parts, inside and outside. The curtains were put away during the day and put down at night, which meant that there were two sleeping areas, just separated for men and women.
Then, sofas, tables and chairs, cots, and tool boxes with portable stoves were brought in one by one.
There weren't many things, and most of them were lightweight, but at least a relatively comfortable rest area was arranged under limited conditions.
The driving area of the money transport truck could seat three people, and the remaining three sat on the sofa in the car.
After that, they found a supermarket and a gas station in the town, and after filling up the gas, they took away several portable gas barrels, and then several boxes of clean bottled water and several boxes of instant noodles, canned chocolate, dehydrated vegetables and other foods, as well as several sets of replacement clothes for each person, especially long-sleeved ones.
Everyone had limited protective clothing on hand, and after they were used up, they had to rely on long sleeves and long pants for protection when going out.
Although the money transport truck was large, they could not possibly fit all the uncontaminated food in the supermarket. Although it was a pity, these were enough for them to eat on the road, so they did not feel particularly regretful.
What they did not know was that whether it was the gas station or the supermarket, after they finished moving the items, Youxi stayed behind for an extra minute or two.
She filled the fuel tank and took away all the clean food, clothes and daily necessities that they could not load.
**
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the six people finished all their work and prepared to leave the hot spring town.
They drove two cars to the edge of the town separately, intending to leave the military truck here. If passers-by passed by, this location would be more conspicuous and they could see the military truck at a glance.
At this moment, a burst of robbery was heard from the mountain behind the town. Ordinary people could not hear this sound because all the robbery weapons were obviously equipped with silencers.
Youxi narrowed her eyes slightly. If they were soldiers, they would not install silencers on the robbery weapons. Besides, the sun was so strong in the daytime that the infected people would not come out at all. The enemy was probably using robbery to deal with non-infected people - that is, humans.
An ordinary human fight?
But the robbery came from the mountain behind the town, and the situation in this town was so strange. All the infected people were missing. Combined with these factors, the whole thing seemed a bit intriguing.
The man in the driver's seat saw her open the door of the money transport truck but was slow to get in the car, and asked, "Do you want to investigate?"
Youxi shook her head: "It is a bit strange, but there are only six of us. If we just ignore it, we will be confused."
"What's wrong?" Fang Lei and Min Min's mother were taking out the portable stove in the back compartment, preparing to cook noodles for everyone. They had just poured water into the pot when they heard Youxi's words in front of them.
"There is some movement in the mountain behind the town. It may be related to the disappearance of the infected person in the town." Youxi had just finished speaking when she saw a civilian helicopter slowly rising from the back mountain.
She quickly jumped back on the military truck and drove the car into the shade of a big tree beside her. The money transport truck also hid under the shade of the tree at the same time.
Youxi didn't get back on the money transporter until the helicopter left the area. Afterwards, she told them about the infected person in the RV carrying the scientific researchers in the Pianshan convoy.
"So, the Pianshan managers are doing experiments on infected people! And this infected person is very likely to be an intelligent infected person! Oh my God, they are so brave! And now they let this infected person escape..." Fang Lei once survived an attack by an intelligent infected person, and he knew better than anyone how terrifying this kind of infected person is.
"The situation in the fallen area is very bad now. There are rumors on the Internet that several cities outside the fallen area are building high defensive walls." Youxi simply told them the whole situation, "This wall can protect, but it can also be used to confine..."
"What do you mean-" Everyone understood what he said.
"It's just a guess. I don't know if the situation in this town has anything to do with the official. If it has nothing to do with the official, it's best to solve it quickly. If it has to do with the official, then we have to leave the occupied area faster..."
Fang Lei was silent for a moment and spoke again: "When it comes to experiments, I don't know if you have any Note that yesterday’s huge physical infected person, after its body was broken, exposed the stumps wrapped in flesh and blood... From a medical and scientific point of view, it does not look like the evolution of the infected person’s normal form..."
Everyone could understand this, but at the same time, Min Min's family was also frightened.
They had witnessed the lethality of the bloody monster at close range. If that monster was the product of an experiment...
"Stop guessing. Contact the military base refuge area directly and you will have an answer soon." When several people were silent, someone slowly spoke.
Everyone turned around and saw that the person who spoke was "You Zhengqing".
You Xi nodded.
There are only two answers to this matter. If the situation in the town and the back mountain has nothing to do with the official, then the official will definitely come to investigate after knowing it; if the situation in the town and the back mountain is related to the official, then the official will receive the notice and may ask the person who leaked the information to "shut up".
