Chapter 22: Deep Instinct
A journey of one hundred kilometers would only take two hours before the apocalypse, but now, in addition to the zombies that appear from time to time, there are also vehicles lying all over the road, and people who suddenly appear to stop cars and ask for help. In short, all these have slowed down their progress.
There are basically no residents or tall buildings around the military airport, and it is completely flat. If they are surrounded by a group of zombies, they will have no place to retreat, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of their mission.
This time, all twelve members of the Black Hawk team participated in the mission. Eagle Wing was the captain, and the captain of the second team, Eagle Mastiff, was the deputy captain. Together with five psychics, a group of seventeen people left the base at sunrise and headed towards the mission target.
The journey was not very peaceful. They had gotten rid of two large-scale zombie hordes. As they approached the military airport, the zombie hordes disappeared. Occasionally they encountered scattered zombies, which they easily dealt with. Crystal cores are now in high demand.
Then everyone took the time to take turns to rest and eat, and then the three cars began to accelerate. They had to reach their destination before the sun set, and they needed to stay at the military airport for one night.
Lianyi was eating the rice balls she made herself. The rice balls were not made of pure rice. They were filled with braised meat, eggs, sausages, mushrooms and other nutritious and filling things. After finishing five rice balls as big as an adult's fist, she closed her eyes and rested.
Three months after the apocalypse, there has been a clear gap between those with special powers and ordinary people. Take herself for example, as her special powers have improved, her appetite has increased, and the speed at which she absorbs energy from the first-level crystal core has also become faster and faster. Moreover, the first-level crystal core can no longer meet her needs for advancement.
Although ordinary people do not have special powers, their strength is obviously greater than before the end of the world, and their five senses have also improved to a certain extent. This is also evolution. Now ordinary people have no problem killing level zero zombies. Even if they encounter level one zombies, they can kill them if they cooperate properly.
"Everyone get ready, we are two kilometers away from the airport."
Eagle Wing's voice came from the car intercom.
Lianyi opened her eyes, checked her equipment, made sure everything was fine, and jumped out of the car after it came to a complete stop.
An unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was launched to overlook the entire airport and determine the location of the mission target.
There were no planes on the takeoff runway; they should be in the hangar. Inside the airport, zombies were moving aimlessly. Because of the appearance of the drone, they all raised their heads and looked up at the sky with their pupil-less eyes.
In the northwest corner, there are two independent two-story buildings, which are the airport's offices and dormitories. In the southeast corner is a large warehouse. The ammunition they are looking for should be in the logistics warehouse.
Once everyone understood the current situation, Eagle Wing began to assign tasks. Eagle Mastiff took the second team and the space ability user to search the warehouse for ammunition, and the rest of the people were responsible for killing wandering zombies, clearing the runway, and ensuring the smooth takeoff of the fighter planes.
Lianyi, however, was not optimistic and decided to fly the fighter plane away directly, because with the appearance of zombie animals, there would also be zombie birds in the sky. If they encountered each other, the plane would definitely be destroyed and the people on board would die.
"Zombie animals have already appeared. Have you considered zombie birds?"
Eagle Wing agreed and said:
"According to convention, birds are not allowed to be kept around the airport, and the airport is cleaned regularly. However, it has not been cleaned for three months in the apocalypse, and the situation Purple Eagle mentioned may occur. Everyone should be more alert at that time."
Everyone nodded immediately.
"action!"
The two teams entered the airport in a tactical formation, one on the left and one on the right, and began to act separately.
The Eagle Wing Squad acted quickly, and after an hour, they had killed all the zombies roaming the airport. They mainly consisted of airport staff on duty, but the number of people didn't match up.
"Captain, the number of people is wrong. The news said that there are 300 people stationed here, but the total number of zombies we have eliminated is less than 100."
The team member reported in a low voice.
“Go check out the office building and dormitories.”
The team quickly moved towards the northwest corner. When they got closer, they saw through the window the zombies with bared fangs and claws inside. They were all locked up on the second floor.
“Prepare for battle!”
A group of people entered from the first floor and cleared each room one by one. After entering the second floor, the sound of gunfire became more frequent. Lianyi fell at the end, responsible for covering their retreat, and glanced around from time to time.
There were ten rooms on the second floor, and each room contained almost ten to fifteen zombies. After an hour of clearing out all the zombies, Eagle Wing found a pilot who had turned into a zombie in the innermost monitoring room. He was curled up in a corner, as if he was dead.
Everyone looked at the other's blackened calves and fell silent. It was obvious that the other party had brought these zombies into the office building, and he himself was scratched and mutated, and now he has turned into a zombie.
The other party seemed to have heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. His eyeballs had disappeared and a "huffing" sound came from his throat, but he did not attack Eagle Wing and the others who were so close.
A suffocating silence spread among the Black Hawk team. Lian Yi sighed, walked directly from the end of the team to the room, and said:
"You go check the dormitory building in the back. I'll handle this."
"you"
"I'll give him a good ride."
Yingyi finally waved his hand and left the second floor with his teammates and the psychics.
Lianyi swung her sword decisively to help the opponent free, and then a crystal core rolled to her feet. This crystal core was a circle larger than the first-level crystal core.
Obviously, this zombie is level two. The zombies in the room should be under his control and locked in the room. The purpose is to prevent these zombies from going out and hurting others. This may be an instinct ingrained in the other party.
After Lianyi put away the crystal core, he left the room and headed straight for the dormitory building. The situation here was similar to that in the office building. Because the second-level zombies had been killed and there were no high-level zombies to suppress them, they began to pounce on the members of the Black Hawk Team.
A skirmish broke out, and half an hour later, the entire dormitory building was emptied, but everyone was in a low mood.
"Captain Eagle Wing, our operation is going smoothly. We have obtained the ammunition and will join you now."
"Got it! Come directly to the dormitory building. It has been cleaned up."
Eagle Wing replied in a deep voice.
Half an hour later, the second team successfully met up with them. The two captains whispered to each other and decided to spend the night here and leave early the next morning.
Only Lianyi looked at the sky outside, and then his brows slowly frowned.
The setting sun seemed to have a tinge of blood, which gave her a bad feeling, especially the wind that blew by, with a hint of moisture, indicating that it would rain tomorrow.
Lianyi recalled what she had seen from the God's perspective and went directly to meet Yingyi.
"Captain, I don't feel well. Either return to base overnight or prepare to be trapped."
