Chapter 168: Attacked by Predators
Just like Yan Xiuying, she rescued the infected people from the ruins with the intention of saving them.
But in the end, those people died in front of her. They placed their hopes in life on herself, so she couldn't get over it after those people died.
While helping in the medical tent, she met patients asking for help every day, but she had already witnessed too many lives and deaths.
I also understand their future fate, and apart from comforting them, I can't do anything to help them.
Some of the survivors with mental illness, like Yan Xiuying, have already developed self-harm.
Although several soldiers took turns to do ideological work on them every day, they were still a little panicked when they saw their gradually dejected expressions.
On the seventh day of the return journey, one survivor could not control his emotions and broke down crying in the carriage.
"I can't save him. I can't save anyone. I'm useless..."
As his emotions were on the verge of collapse, several more wailing voices were heard.
In the end, there was no other choice but to give them sedatives one by one and travel day and night, hoping to return to the shelter as soon as possible.
But things went against their wishes. On the eighth day of the return journey, the team encountered looters.
There were more than 30 looters in the group, almost every one of them holding a gun, and they were on the road that the mission vehicle had to pass.
There are a lot of spikes scattered on the ground. If the wheels run over them, they will be broken immediately.
With four bang sounds of tire explosions, the car shook twice and stopped on the side of the road.
Everyone in the carriage was caught off guard and unprepared, and they were squeezed and swayed.
Xiang Yu was squeezed into a corner with a sleeping bag in front of him.
The door of the carriage was not open, and for a moment she had no idea what was happening outside, but she could still distinguish the sound of exploding tires and gunshots.
The tire explosion was followed by gunshots, and a ding-ding sound was heard in the carriage, which seemed to have blocked the bullet.
He pushed away the person in front of him, a pistol appeared in his hand, and Xiang Yu looked towards the vent.
I saw more than a dozen figures rushing over on the sand dune, shouting "oh oh" continuously.
There was a noise from the top of the carriage, and the ten soldiers who were escorting them back had climbed onto the roof.
Soon both sides opened fire. Xiang Yu immediately covered his ears with his hands. The sound of gunfire echoed in the carriage, and his eardrums were almost broken.
At this time, everyone obviously realized what was happening outside, and they all leaned over the vents to look out.
At this time, the dozen or so looters who rushed down the mountain had been shot dead halfway.
They were disorganized and undisciplined. They had guns in their hands, but their accuracy was not good enough and they were no match for these battle-hardened soldiers.
There were more than thirty people in the group. After dealing with more than a dozen of them, there were still a dozen left. At this time, the remaining dozen did not dare to move forward.
They hid behind the hill and didn't dare to show their heads for a while, but their tires had been destroyed and they had no way to go back.
The two sides remained in a stalemate until it was almost dark, and then the looters left in disgrace.
But they won't leave so easily. The mission vehicle has been destroyed by them, and more than a dozen of their brothers have died. They probably won't give up unless they grab some things.
The troops stationed in the shelter have been dealing with the predators for the past two years, and they certainly know that these predators will not leave easily.
However, there were more than forty ordinary people in the carriage, and their mission was to protect their safety and send them back to the shelter safely.
After seeing the looters temporarily leave, several people hurriedly opened the door of the carriage.
"Come down quickly and take your food with you. We are going back on foot. Hurry..."
"Hurry up and come down, take everything with you. The looters will probably come back later, so we need to leave here quickly."
Xiang Yu was already prepared. The moment the carriage door opened, she had already put her things on her back.
However, there were still a dozen survivors in the team who had been given sedatives and were unconscious.
Ten soldiers each carried one and ran along the path back.
No one dared to make a sound at this time, they all lowered their heads and ran away.
After running for more than half an hour and when everyone was tired, several gunshots were heard from the hill on the right.
"Hurry and find cover, the looters are chasing us," a soldier shouted, and everyone began to run around in a panic.
"Run this way, there is an abandoned village ahead," Xiang Yu wore night vision goggles when he set out, and he spotted the small village in the distance at the first opportunity.
They were carrying wounded soldiers on their backs, so it was difficult for them to fight back. They were also in an open area, making them like moving targets.
Fortunately, those predators were not very good at shooting.
Xiang Yu took the lead and everyone followed behind, and soon they entered the abandoned village.
After two or three steps of running, Xiang Yu climbed onto an abandoned wall with both hands and jumped over easily.
After putting the unconscious survivor down, they began to look for cover and shoot with their guns. At this time, the looters also chased after them.
