Chapter 76: Gun in hand, follow me and wipe out the B-7!
"Dalong, send out a hundred men, form groups of four to keep watch on each other, and extend the gun line."
"yes!"
"Erlong, take fifty people and follow Zhu Xiang to cut off the source of infection. We must not let these things cause a secondary infection."
"clear."
"The rest of you, follow Huang Sheng and Wu Zhihong. Bury the infected bodies after they've been cut. These things will devour each other and become stronger. We can't let them find food easily."
"yes!"
Cheng Ye did not expect that his first time conducting would be so smooth, without any sense of awkwardness at all.
It was much easier than planning a picnic for forty people during his college days. He didn't have to worry about who hadn't finished their mobile game, who had dietary restrictions, or who had mysophobia.
The three hundred people in Tianyuan Mall are like soldiers in a game, obeying orders and doing what they are told.
In the final analysis, firstly, the degree of cooperation among the people has reached its peak, and secondly, it is because
"After the previous pioneer corps was disbanded, many people were assigned to our B-7 area."
Damp steam filled his nose, and Old Song couldn't help coughing twice. "The Chaoyang Electronics Factory complex, where you live, is basically full of veterans from the pioneering army. We were trained in defense against waves of infection back in the wilderness. As long as we haven't forgotten our skills, even without anyone's command, we can spontaneously find that connection point and attack together, advancing and retreating together to resist the enemy!"
"Pioneer Corps."
Cheng Ye suddenly paused, thinking of something, "Did my father also work in the pioneer corps?"
"He was the first inspector in the Pioneer Corps."
Elder Song nodded immediately and replied, "And when he was as young as you, it coincided with the unexpected death of your grandfather. He joined the Pioneer Corps as an inspector, vowing to avenge your grandfather. He stayed there for two and a half years before leaving and returning to the checkpoint."
revenge?
A strange feeling arose in Cheng Ye's heart.
With Cheng Long's ability, is he really going out to seek revenge?
Or did Cheng Wu also leave behind a bunch of mess for Cheng Long, who couldn't even go to the checkpoint and could only run to the Pioneer Corps to hide outside, and wouldn't dare to return until he had developed the ability to protect himself?
If that's the case, then Cheng Long's start is even more disastrous than his!
"I just heard shouting and killing over there. Is that a fusion?"
Tianyuan Mall has already defended against four waves of ordinary infected bodies. At first, everyone was a little nervous, but later they found that these monsters were not only more durable, but also easier to deal with than mutant beasts because of their lack of intelligence.
"It's a fusion. I can't handle it alone, so I have to ask for your help."
"Prosecutor Cheng, this isn't about helping you, it's about you protecting us!"
Cheng Ye wanted to talk more about the dangers of the fusion body, but he didn't expect that Mr. Song would interrupt him immediately.
"Having the residents of the electronics factory support you shows that they fully recognize you. I'm guessing you didn't run away from that monster, right?"
"Uh no!"
Cheng Ye was slightly stunned. He really didn't escape.
After repelling the fusion body, he immediately chased after it instead of passively defending the stronghold.
Then, everyone started shooting at the fusion body, and there was a cry of killing that shook his soul every time he thought about it.
"Escape, we will help you."
"Kill, you are protecting us."
"This is the essential difference, Prosecutor Cheng. You can't confuse this most important point. This is about belief, about..."
Old Song patted his heart, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear:
"What are we fighting for?"
boom.
The iron rolling shutter door of Tianyuan Mall fell again, blocking out thousands of eyes from inside.
Turning around and looking at the three hundred people who were already lined up in an orderly manner, Cheng Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
This is definitely a grand scene!
He went to Hengdian to watch extras filming and saw similar scenes.
But in the eyes of those extras, there is absolutely no such overwhelming murderous aura that is almost tangible, mixed with iron blood and bravery, almost condensed into a visible edge.
only.
Faced with the starfish-infected body, the 300 people in the mall had almost no protective gear. They could only follow his example and wrap the exposed parts of their bodies with rags.
Weapons were even more stretched, with more than half of the people's pistols badly worn out, and each person was only equipped with two magazines, which they had to get from other people in the mall.
If these bullets are used up and the B-7 infection tide is not cleared, we will have no choice but to charge with cold weapons.
However, for prosecutor Cheng Ye, this is not a big problem.
He took out the defense communication tool and quickly operated it, instantly locating two emergency supply and ammunition replenishment points in the B-7 area.
One is located at the western end adjacent to B-6 zone, and the other is near the boundary of A-11 zone.
Although the amount of ammunition hidden was unclear, it could at least delay the exhaustion of firepower.
"Let's go to B-6 first and get equipment and ammunition!"
"yes!"
At Cheng Ye's command, three hundred voices responded as if they were one.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.
The significance of the Pioneer Corps goes far beyond expanding the radiation boundary of Happiness City, but also lies in training a group of militiamen who can immediately form combat effectiveness.
It's like a fire hidden in the stove, waiting for the vent to be opened and it will be ignited again!
However, just as the team turned out of the block, Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly focused and he saw the escaped fusion again!
The monster clung to the wall of a small building a few hundred meters away, glanced at the team from a distance, and then fled without hesitation.
Obviously, he had suffered a loss and knew that he was not strong enough to take on this team.
"Going to another district?"
Cheng Ye took out the map and took a look. Less than a kilometer ahead from the small building was Area B-3.
It would naturally be a good thing if we could avoid a head-on confrontation with this fusion.
But he had a vague feeling that this monster had already set its sights on him and would never give up so easily.
"Now we have to race against time. Let's see how fast he evolves. We should organize a battle line first!"
The sense of urgency surged like a tide, and Cheng Ye immediately raised his voice and gave orders, and the queue of 300 people sped up instantly.
If they encountered infected bodies rushing out along the way, he didn't need to give any commands, as Dalong and Erlong on both wings of the team could lead their men to kill them.
Huang Sheng and Wu Zhihong in the rear also have certain command capabilities and can lead the militia to form an eight-man squad battle formation.
At first everyone was a little scared and started shooting.
After crossing a street and killing dozens of infected bodies, the only sound left was the sound of the dagger entering flesh.
Cheng Ye's steps were erratic, and he would occasionally slip past the fallen infected body.
A pleasant reminder sounded in my ears.
[Dissipation detected]
[This successful supplementary information degree: 0.07, 0.12, 0.15, 0.01]
Even though there were three drones hovering overhead to assist in monitoring, they helped the team avoid waves of infection, prevent sneak attacks, and calculate contribution distribution.
He was not worried at all that this action would make people notice anything unusual.
[Detected that the information acquisition progress of trainee collector 'Cheng Ye' has reached 30%! ]
Please keep up the good work!
“30%?”
Cheng Ye nodded slightly. This speed was indeed much faster than before.
If the infected body dies, its consciousness will be absorbed, and fighting alone may not be slow.
But the problem is that after the infected body dies, its head must be dissected open to take out the source of infection inside.
No matter how skilled Zhu Xiang's movements are, he can't catch up with thirty people working together.
“Almost there!”
The entire B-7 district has a total of seven streets, and no location is far away in a straight line.
The team rushed forward recklessly, and from a distance they saw more than a dozen furtive figures squatting in front of the shop and trying to pry open the door.
When those people saw the large army approaching, they turned around and tried to escape, but Cheng Ye was quick to pull out his gun and shoot.
Bang.
The bullet hit the ground precisely in front of the leader's feet, and the flying gravel frightened everyone so much that they froze in place.
"Catch him!"
Dalong immediately led his men forward to control the situation and asked for their identities. "They're from the pedestrian street. I heard that some equipment was moved in here before, and they want to use it to protect themselves."
"Protect yourself?"
Cheng Ye sneered. He would never believe such nonsense again.
"I'll use it to lure the fusion creatures later. If they survive, I'll let them go. If they don't, they deserve to die."
"I understand." Dalong agreed with Cheng Ye's decision.
In wartime, there should be wartime rules.
If we let these people go, they will hold a grudge against us, and if they suddenly shoot us twice at the critical moment when we are dealing with the fusion body, we might ruin the good situation.
[Searching for nearby emergency supplies and ammunition replenishment points]
【Search successful, opening now! 】
[Inspector Cheng Ye, your current remaining activation limit is: '3']
A prompt flashed on the defense channel.
The warehouse door that had been pried open for a long time finally rose slowly, and a strong smell of gun oil hit the face.
Cheng Ye glanced down at the door panel. Wow, it was actually a solid explosion-proof steel plate, at least one finger thick. No wonder those people couldn't pry it open despite their best efforts.
When the people controlled by Dalong saw the door open, they immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"How can he open it?"
"Shut up! If you keep barking like a dog, I'll chop you off." Without thinking, Dalong reached out and patted the person on the head, but his eyes were still fixed on the store.
Boom.
The moment the steel plate is completely lifted, the internal lighting automatically lights up.
The sounds of people gasping for air came one after another, and even Cheng Ye was stunned on the spot.
This is not an emergency supply point at all, it is clearly a small arsenal with all the necessary equipment!
Although Xingfu City is a powerful industrial sanctuary, and the weapons and ammunition produced on the assembly line are almost dirt cheap, the arrogance seen after this door is opened still subverts everyone's cognition.
At the entrance, five boxes of self-defense pistols were stacked like tofu blocks, with the specifications of 45 pistols in each box clearly marked on the side of the box.
The wooden boxes in the front row have been unsealed. The pistol lying horizontally on the top is shining with a cold ice-blue light under the light. The factory serial number engraved on the gun body still has the luster of fresh oil. It is obviously a new product that just came off the production line before the outbreak of the infection.
Next came three more boxes of defense rifles arranged in the same pattern, 30 in each box.
The streamline of the gun body is a bit like the M4 that Cheng Ye often sees in games, and it is also brand new from the factory.
The heavy shelves that reached the ceiling were packed tightly with ammunition boxes.
The red marking of 2,500 rounds per box is particularly eye-catching on the box. Ammunition boxes of different calibers are stacked together, and the number is huge, starting from at least 20,000 to 30,000 rounds.
But these were not the most outrageous things, because in the innermost part, Cheng Ye saw four defensive machine guns mounted on a tripod, and the cooling slots of the gun barrels flashed a terrifying cold light.
Next to them, two olive green rocket launchers leaned against the wall. Ten rockets with yellow markings on the tails were neatly stacked on a special ammunition rack, and the armor-piercing patterns on the warheads were clearly visible.
"this"
Cheng Ye's Adam's apple rolled, and in the end he could only say silently in his heart, "Praise the Happy City!"
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had traveled to an industrial refuge city instead of an agricultural one.
Faced with the wave of infection, other things may be in short supply in Xingfu City, but weapons and ammunition will never disappoint anyone who has the idea to stand up.
"What are you still standing there for? Go in groups and change your guns. Put away all those broken guns of yours!"
Cheng Ye shouted.
The stunned crowd finally woke up as if from their dream, and rushed into the warehouse with burning eyes.
Before this, when Cheng Ye said he would take them to get weapons and ammunition, they were not excited because no one was sure whether they could get any.
But for now, these weapons are more than enough!
There were 225 new pistols and 90 rifles, which were more than enough to distribute to 300 people, and there was even some left over.
After all, each of the four machine guns requires two people to work together.
Dalong and Erlong also rushed in and changed their rifles, grinning like children who had received candy.
Seeing Cheng Ye looking at him strangely, Dalong rubbed the gun and explained, "The last time I touched this gun was in the winter six years ago. When the infection wave came, the authorities distributed a few guns to the community. I was lucky enough to fire a few magazines, but I haven't touched it since."
Cheng Ye hummed, and curiously asked, "Why did the pioneer corps disband?"
"It's a long story. There are factors mentioned above and reasons below."
Dalong rubbed the butt of his gun with his fingertips. "But in the final analysis, no one wants to open up new land anymore. The gathering place we built with great effort can be destroyed in an instant by a wave of infection."
"Furthermore, Happiness City is growing in size, and there's no need for pioneering troops to go outside to dig for resources. Now, there are small settlements that are actively exchanging resources for things."
He looked at the excited crowd in the store, his tone carrying a hint of vicissitudes, "Times have changed, life has become more stable, and pioneers no longer have a need to exist."
"So, deep down, everyone still wants to go out?"
"Of course. How can one live their entire lives in a cramped mall space, growing old and dying?"
The strong ambition almost overflowed from his words.
Cheng Ye smiled slightly, not finding it strange, and reached out to pat Dalong on the shoulder.
"Work hard, and when the opportunity comes, you have to grab it yourself."
A simple sentence, but hotter than any big words.
It was visibly visible that Dalong's face began to turn red and his breathing became heavy.
Isn’t this exactly why they are willing to follow Cheng Ye out?
Fight for survival!
Fight for ideas!
More than ten minutes later, the team had completed the equipment replacement. Unfortunately, no area-killing individual weapons such as grenades were found in the warehouse.
It seems that even if the infection wave comes, in the eyes of the top leaders, the harm of explosive weapons is still far greater than that of infected bodies, or
Recalling the previous scene, after the explosion, the starfish infection wave immediately evolved into several fusion bodies.
Cheng Ye was stunned. It seemed that some information had not been released to the public.
But now they have rocket launchers and machine guns, which is not a bad thing. As long as it is not a terrorist surge of the scale of Area A, even if there are thousands of infected bodies, this armed team has the confidence to face them head-on!
The three hundred people lined up again and looked at Cheng Ye with sharp eyes.
He stopped shouting motivational slogans and instead lifted the PL-1 rifle from behind him, pointing the barrel towards the sky.
"Everyone!"
"Guns in hand, follow me!"
"Tonight, we'll clear Sector B-7!"
