Chapter 171 Raid
On the seventh night of the base's closure, a curfew was implemented. No one was allowed to wander around the base after 7 p.m., and everyone was required to stay indoors and lock the doors and windows.
Lu Ming no longer had to go out to kill zombies during the day, so he completed the daily awakening of the quasi-superpower early. After dinner in the evening, he went back to the hotel with Gu Chao to wash up and rest.
After all, no one knows when the wave of mutant creatures will come, so everyone must hurry up to replenish their physical strength to avoid encountering any emergencies.
Maybe it was too early, or maybe Lu Ming was a little worried, so she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Gu Chao didn't open his eyes. He just reached out and pulled the little girl who was stirring beside the bed back into his arms. He hugged her from behind and asked, "Can't sleep?"
"Hmm." Lu Ming replied sullenly.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ming turned around, rested her head on his chest, and sighed, "I can't help you in any way."
This time, the biological tide can be said to be her nemesis. Physical attacks and thermal weapons are useless to her, and she has no special powers, so she is really at a loss.
The person above him chuckled twice, his chest shaking. "Are those newly awakened psychics all transformed by fairies?"
Lu Ming hit him, "Oh, I'm serious. If I can't go to the battlefield, I won't be able to see you. I'll be so worried. This is the first time we've been apart."
Gu Chao stroked her soft long hair and kissed her on the top of her head. "Don't worry. We have made so many preparations and set traps. Nothing will happen."
"But we're all planning based on known species. What if there's a new, even more powerful species? Like the giant octopus that's over ten meters long in the ocean? What should we do with it?"
"That kind, grilled at high temperature, smeared with sauce on both sides, and everyone eats a bite and it's done."
Lu Ming was both angry and amused, and pinched Gu Chao hard, "What are you talking about? Such a serious topic, what are you talking about barbecue!!"
"Ha ha."
"Hate it! You told me I was hungry, late at night! I'm going to beat you up!"
"Hungry? Get up and eat grilled octopus?"
"...You are such a..." Lu Ming was completely amused and finally stopped thinking about this problem. The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and she felt relieved and gradually fell asleep.
No matter when, as long as he is by her side, she can always feel at ease.
The temperature at night drops slightly. Although it is still hot, it is still bearable. The breeze gently blows the leaves, making subtle sounds, which is the best way to sleep.
However.
This is destined to be a restless night.
Accidents always happen on the way home, at the hospital gate, or during a relaxing and sweet dream.
No enemy will give the opponent time to prepare, and before attacking, they will beat drums and gongs to tell them, I'm here to eat you!
They can only use the cover of darkness to move their long legs quickly and silently, following the smell, along the open road, holding high their sharp weapons flashing with cold light, looking for food to fill their stomachs.
Crowded and crowded.
Rustling...
Da, da, da...
Brush, brush...
The terrifying sound was getting louder and closer.
"Fuck! Something's coming!!" Xie Ran, the auditory mutant on duty at the toll station, felt his scalp explode instantly. He stood up abruptly, all the hairs on his body standing up, and listened attentively.
The people around were stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and stared at Xie Ran nervously.
What is coming?
However, the more he listened, the more sweat broke out on his forehead, his heart pounded, and he quickly climbed up the high ladder on the side of the toll booth and looked to the east through night vision binoculars.
Tall and short, big and small, close to the ground, they can easily climb over any obstacle. A long black line is approaching their base rapidly!
He could even hear the sound of sea snakes spitting out their tongues!
How could it be so fast?!
Xie Ran's eyes widened, and he turned back and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Sound the alarm!"
What the fuck?!
The others were shocked. A guard quickly rushed back into the tent and slapped a red button on an instrument.
Everyone became nervous. Xie Ran looked at the black lines surging like a tide and swallowed unconsciously.
They are coming!
at the same time.
In the quiet base.
“Woo… woo…”
A loud whistle suddenly sounded over the base, waking up anyone who was sleeping.
Everyone sat up suddenly, their confused brains instantly woke up, their heartbeats accelerated, and their hands and feet became cold.
After moving the base, they made some changes to the city-wide alarm. The siren sound is no longer single, but can be played in different areas. The urgency of the situation can even be distinguished by different durations, intervals, speeds, tones, etc.
There are three levels: yellow, orange, and red.
At this moment, what sounded in my ears was the red alarm.
Highest level alert!
Lu Ming and Gu Chao looked at each other, quickly stood up, put on their coats, and hurried downstairs to the hotel.
All the rooms in the hotel were opened, and all the team members ran out in an orderly manner and followed the two of them.
Lu Ming waved his hand and released more than a dozen military trucks. The team members got on the trucks one by one. In less than three minutes, the convoy drove towards the gate.
On the way, Gu Chao contacted Lu Shaoyang who was on duty.
"What's going on?"
Lu Shaoyang said solemnly, "The guards have sent a message saying they've found traces of mutant creatures. They're three kilometers away from the base. At their speed, they'll reach the toll booth in half an hour!"
"Okay, I understand. Pass the order down and have the guards retreat through the gate immediately. Everything proceeds according to plan."
"yes!"
When Xie Ran's people received the notice, they did not dare to delay for a second. They immediately activated all the set traps, got in the car, and drove towards the "overpass gate".
Twenty minutes later, the first red crab monster looked around, got off the highway, and walked towards the toll station deep in the fork in the road.
Then the second one, the third one...
Countless mutant creatures followed the dense swarms of red crab monsters as they climbed over the roadblocks at the toll booth and rushed towards the base.
This entire scene was captured by drones in the sky and broadcast to the command room inside the base wall.
Gu Chao turned around, looked at everyone in front of him who were waiting in full battle array, and said in a deep voice: "Is everyone ready?!"
"Ready!"
"Alright! The lives of all the people in this base depend on you. You must not make any mistakes! Now, move out immediately and take your positions!"
"Yes!" Everyone ran out, and then heard a voice behind them saying, "Come back alive!"
They didn't stop, but their eyes became moist instantly.
I wonder if this will be the last time they will see the comrades around them?
Gu Chao stayed behind, and before leaving, he patted Cheng Ming on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Cheng Ming nodded heavily, "Don't worry!"
Gu Chao strode out of the door and met the person he wanted to see at the door.
He hugged her and kissed her deeply, then let her go and said, "I'm leaving."
She choked and said, "I'll wait for you."
Gu Chao held back the tears in his eyes and replied solemnly: "I will definitely come back!" Then he suddenly let go of her, turned around and jumped out of the city wall.
Lu Ming looked at his back with tears streaming down his face.
Cheng Ming sighed and patted her shoulder.
