Lin Manshi was about to return to the airport when he heard the noise. An almost earth-shattering siren sounded somewhere in the Nanming base. The long and sharp whining sound had a certain rhythm, revealing immense urgency and panic.
Lin Man immediately stopped and asked the guide beside him: "What's going on?"
The man's face turned horrified in an instant: "T-This is a very high-level alarm. It's a sign of a zombie invasion!"
"Zombie invasion? How is that possible?" Didn't they say there were no zombies around the Nanming base? Lin Cheng had borrowed someone just to keep a close eye on the outside, and now he was telling her that the zombies had already invaded the base?
Lin Man grabbed him and asked, "Where is it in the base?"
"No, I don't know!"
"Boss!" The leader of her first squad ran out of the airfield. Lin Man looked back and saw the propellers of several helicopters on the airfield spinning faster and faster, ready to take off. "What's going on?"
"They received an order from Captain Lin to immediately provide support in the Lower River area. Zombies have appeared there," the team leader said quickly. "But there are only pilots on those planes. What should we do?"
Lin Man didn't know where the Lower River District was, but she knew Du Chun and the others lived in the Upper River District. Anyway, it should be somewhere in the Nanming base. Lin Man ran to the airport and asked, "Where's Lin Cheng?"
"Captain Lin took his men and the base leader to set up defenses outside the base. It will take three to five minutes to get back, but it only takes one minute to get there!"
"How many zombies are there?"
"I don't know, but zombies are biting people!"
This means that the number of zombies is increasing all the time.
The three hundred men had quickly formed their ranks, awaiting Lin Man's orders. Lin Man directly asked, "Do you have any guns?"
"Yes!" They answered in unison. Not only did they have it, but it was the most advanced and powerful equipment. Lin Zhongrong always gave his daughter the best.
"Then what are you waiting for? Those with the best marksmanship will step out and form their own teams to find the planes!"
"Yes!" Then the helicopters that were about to take off were suddenly stopped, and people jumped up one by one like crazy, which scared the pilots.
"What are you standing there for? We're one of us, hurry up and open the car!"
"Just drive it yourself, time is running out!"
Lin Zhongrong had lent the Nanming base not only 5,000 people, but also two single-person fighters, two reconnaissance aircraft, and four highly capable short-range helicopters. The remaining transport aircraft, used to transport personnel or supplies, were destined to return to the Tuanyuan base.
But just this alone is a very generous act. If he didn't have a daughter living near the Nanming base, he would never be so generous.
Now, the four helicopters were all left at the airport. Because the incident happened suddenly, they all received orders to go to Xiahe District, but there were indeed only pilots on board. However, with Lin Man's support, the cabin was almost crowded in the blink of an eye, and everyone was glaring at each other.
"There are too many people, let some of them go down!"
Those who couldn't climb up were kicked down mercilessly, standing on the ground in a daze watching the helicopter fly higher and higher.
"Ah, where is Miss Lin?" They wanted to find their leader and ask the rest of the people what to do, but they couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time.
Are you kidding? Lin Man was the first one to get into the helicopter, okay?
In less than a minute, just forty seconds, the high-performance helicopter flew to the accident area.
The Lower River District is located downstream of a dry riverbed. Imagine a winding, shimmering river before it dried up. But now, due to the dryness, the riverbed has become a garbage dump. The Lower River District, right next to the garbage dump, is where the newly arrived refugees gather. The shelters are even worse than the shacks where Du Chun and his friends first lived.
Looking down from the air, the scene there was like hell. Dozens of zombies with rotting flesh and blood were grabbing and biting people everywhere. The refugees had already been wiped out, and the nearby areas were also affected. The hastily organized manpower at the base had no way to deal with those zombies. Those backward weapons had not killed half of the zombies before the people were caught and bitten.
The people on the four helicopters didn't need any orders at all. After entering the range, they immediately raised their guns and took aim, shooting them in the head one by one, reaping the rewards in a race against time.
Lin Man didn't fire. She was very self-aware of her own limitations. Her marksmanship wasn't perfect yet, let alone firing from a fast-moving plane. She was sure to miss. Then she looked at her new soldier. He was indeed the one who had grabbed the position like a wolf and a tiger. His marksmanship was excellent, and almost every shot hit the target.
She didn't shoot, but was looking for zombies that had left the area, and asked Guan Guan to help her look.
"Lin Man, over there, behind the house next to the garbage dump, there's someone trying to escape."
Lin Man took a look and saw that there was indeed a zombie trying to run away. After it passed the corner, it was about to enter a group of low houses and disappear from sight!
She raised the majestic and domineering □□ in her hand.
At the same time, he grasped a jade needle in his hand, charging it with spiritual energy. The needle shot first, followed by the bullet, accurately piercing the zombie's head. The bullet simultaneously shot into the blood mist... and into the garbage dump three or four meters to the left.
But Lin Man knew she'd missed. Others didn't know. To them, she'd fired, and then the zombie had been shot in the head. Who could possibly notice so much in such a critical moment? The two people in the helicopter who saw this scene out of the corner of their eyes were surprised.
This shooting skill is really accurate. At that distance, it's almost out of range, right? Amazing!
Lin Man killed two more zombies in this way. Because they arrived quickly, the zombies were just gnawing at them and had no time to spread. He killed the three zombies that wanted to escape, and the others were taken away one by one by bullets that were like the kiss of death from the sky. In almost two minutes, all the zombies were eliminated.
There were a few more people who had just been bitten and were lying on the ground. The people on the helicopter watched silently and waited. When they really began to twitch like epilepsy and tried to stand up, a few bullets killed them cleanly and neatly.
After the last gunshot, several planes flying back from the edge of the base finally arrived.
Lin Man saw Lin Cheng and waved with a smile.
Lin Cheng looked down, then looked at her, slowly revealed a warm smile, and gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Man smiled even more happily.
Several people nearby, as well as the people in the nearby helicopter, saw the interaction between the two and exchanged glances secretly, as if they had discovered some big secret.
…
Nan Ming thanked Lin Man again and again: "If you hadn't arrived in time and let these zombies spread, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Lin Man accepted his thanks frankly, and then said: "This is what I should do. Everyone has the responsibility to eliminate the zombies. Chief Nan should quickly investigate how the zombies came about."
Nan Ming's face darkened as he spoke of this. Looking at the people at the scene who were carrying the zombies and investigating, he asked the few people around him who were silent as a mouse, "Did these people just arrive today?"
The men were sweating profusely but didn't dare wipe their sweat. "Yes, yes, but we checked carefully and found no signs of zombie bites or scratches. Logically, this shouldn't have happened."
"Rationally? It should be?" Nan Ming's face was filled with a stormy look. "Are you saying that everything we see before us is an illusion?"
"This, this..." They were speechless, their eyes drifting towards Lin Cheng, Lin Man and others. To be honest, there were more people who entered the base today than just this group of survivors!
Nan Ming simply wanted to gouge out their eyes. Was this a hint to Lin Cheng and the others to bring the virus in?
Not to mention that Lin Cheng and all the people he brought with him had never come into contact with this group of refugees. Lin Cheng and his people brought manpower and material resources to the base to help them through this dangerous period. How could they do such a thing!
But he couldn't scold these people loudly, for fear that Lin Cheng and Lin Man would hear it and think that he was scolding them in a veiled way.
He immediately yelled, "Get out! Get them out and lock them up!"
Although he did not say anything, Lin Cheng's eyes were naturally caught by those people. He looked at Lin Man who was standing beside him. He did not look closely last time, but now he found that her hair had grown a little longer and was tied into a ponytail that was neither too long nor too short. There were some small strands of hair floating in front of her forehead, revealing her fair and healthy face.
Lin Man was completely oblivious to everything else. She was concentrating on looking at the zombie corpses lined up in front of her, a hint of thought in her dark and clear eyes.
Lin Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked her, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Man said, "Don't you find it strange? If one of these people was captured by a zombie and transformed into a zombie after arriving here, there should have been a very long incubation period. But what I just saw was a normal person being captured and bitten, and then transformed into a zombie very quickly, in less than a minute."
Lin Cheng gently explained to her, "The length of the incubation period varies from person to person, depending on the location of the injury and the biting zombie. It's quite random and accidental."
"Really?" Lin Man thought for a moment and shook his head. "But I just ran into these people on the street. At that time, I didn't realize that any of them were zombies, or had any tendency to become zombies."
Lin Cheng immediately took it seriously after hearing this. He had seen Lin Man's perception of zombies. Although he didn't know the nature of this ability, he trusted Lin Man's judgment very much.
He said solemnly, "Are you sure?" If it wasn't brought from outside, then he could only have been infected after entering the Nanming base. This... is even more terrifying!
Lin Man, however, became uncertain. She propped up her chin and recalled, "No, there was another person at that time. He gave me a very strange feeling."
