Song Qian paused, turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the base, his eyes dark and unclear, he said:
"It is highly likely that they all went to the entrance of the base to fight against the mutant rats. The current military strength of Xiangcheng is not as strong as we imagined.
The core troops have long been evacuated, and the rest are either following the high-level or at the entrance of the base. On the surface, it looks very deterrent, but in reality, the strength and number are not enough."
Jiang Yan glanced at him, "So, that's why they were controlled?" This is a bit of a double entendre.
Sun Jingtao said before that the base here was divided by four forces.
And the most confusing thing is that the control of military power is not in their hands.
However, in Jiang Yan's view, whether it is Song Qian or Sun Jingtao, some of the things they said are actually just a reference.
After all, they are just hearsay information, and the accuracy and credibility are problematic.
"There is no control or no control. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders and defend the country." Song Qian said, and he was completely silent.
This statement, even he said it against his will.
The duty of a soldier is to obey orders and defend the country.
But here, they are just pawns that are randomly controlled by the authorities of certain forces in the base.
Before the mutant rats came, they were the defenders of the authority of the base.
When the mutant rats came, they became the first victims to rush up.
While all the people were kept in the dark and honestly abided by the rules of the base, the authorities of the base had quietly used the information gap and resources under their control to evacuate in advance.
"These grandsons, I wish their planes will run out of fuel and encounter rats halfway and die!" Kong Wu, who was standing aside, looked at the direction of the airport and cursed in a low voice.
Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing did not speak. They looked around vigilantly and were on guard.
Su Dai squatted on the ground with a flushed face and panted.
She carried the least supplies among the few people, but her physical strength was also the worst. She
had been rushing on the road before, and it was very difficult to breathe with a mask. Now she stopped and felt very tired.
The few of them had barely chatted for a few words when suddenly, the lights at the back door of the base flashed quickly a few times and went out.
"Something's wrong." Ye Qing was the first to notice something was wrong.
As soon as he finished speaking, the few of them felt a strong wind with a strong stench blowing towards them.
Su Dai, who had just stood up, was blown so hard that she almost fell.
Jiang Yan quickly reached out and grabbed her.
At the same time, not far behind them, there was the sound of "da da da" tracks and metal collisions.
In the thick fog, it seemed that car lights appeared.
Judging from the aperture, there were quite a few cars.
"Bang!"
"Da da!"
"Boom!"
There were different gunshots, artillery sounds, and even bomb explosions coming from near the convoy.
Judging from the location, it seemed to be near the football field that the few of them had just passed.
It was likely that the convoy had encountered rats.
"No, we have to hide first. It smells like a large number of rats!" Jiang Yan frowned.
This smell was much stronger than what I smelled just now.
Hua Bao didn't issue a warning, probably because the other party was too far away.
Song Qian took off his mask, sniffed, and his face changed drastically.
He looked around and recalled for a few seconds, "Go this way."
The exit of the base was unclear, there were rats in front and a convoy behind.
The few people didn't care about anything else, and quickly followed him and walked to the side of the road.
After a few steps, a dark building appeared in front of them.
It looked like a shopping mall.
A long-abandoned shopping mall.
It only has three or four floors.
The mall must have been looted before, and all the glass was broken and scattered all over the floor.
Fortunately, the density of the black haze inside was not as high as outside.
The sight of the people wearing night vision goggles was obviously much better than outside.
The few people randomly found a shop facing the street, went in, and went up to the second floor.
Upstairs was a large boutique clothing store, with several glass windows on the part of the outer wall facing the street.
The door was damaged as usual, and the clothes, curtains, metal hangers and so on were gone.
There were only a few models with bald limbs and broken arms and garbage all over the floor.
I don’t know who was in a bad mood when they came to buy clothes for zero yuan.
Those plaster models were lying on the ground in all directions, and the heads and arms were also broken and thrown everywhere on the ground.
When Su Dai saw the figures of those models, she almost screamed in fear.
In the middle of the night, the few people seemed to be walking in a thick fog maze.
The models were covered with a layer of black ash, and at first glance, they looked like charred corpses.
The sound of the convoy was getting closer and closer.
The "da da da" sound of the tracks became more and more obvious.
Sun Jingtao listened for a while and frowned: "There are tanks, and there are quite a few of them."
"It seems there are also excavators." Song Qian said.
Jiang Yan: "..."
Kong Wu said cautiously: "Could it be that the convoy I saw just now was just the vanguard in the early stage?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
After Song Qian finished speaking, he and Jiang Yan, Sun Jingtao and others groped to hide by the window, holding weapons in their hands and looking out the window carefully.
Soon, the lights that appeared in the dark fog became more and more obvious.
And they covered a long area.
It seems that the battle was very big.
Judging from the distance of the lights, the convoy was moving very slowly, only about twenty yards.
"Jiang Yan, here." Song Qian suddenly took out a square folded paper from his chest pocket and handed it to her.
Jiang Yan took it and said, "What is this?"
"A map of the base and surrounding areas. Take a look while you have time. Give it to Brother Sun after you finish reading it." Song Qian said, and took out a flashlight and a piece of red cloth.
The red cloth should have been torn from a piece of clothing, and the broken edge was tattered.
"When you read it, cover the flashlight with the red cloth to protect your eyes, and the light will not be easily discovered by others."
"Okay." Jiang Yan took it and squatted down with her legs bent.
The map should have been hand-drawn by Song Qian. It was very simple, but it roughly drew the layout of the base and some important facilities around it.
After reading the map, Jiang Yan's guard against Song Qian was reduced a little.
Xiangcheng Base is not a base in the true sense.
To put it bluntly, it is just a relatively high suburban area of a small city, surrounded by a circle of private land with roadblocks and a few walls.
Most of the core areas of the city far away from the mountains are actually submerged under the water.
The location they are now is actually located on the outskirts of the mountains.
This city, because of its rich coal resources and high terrain, has become a battleground for several major forces and
a habitat for the survivors who have fled from all over.
