Section 5 Residents

Add an ad: "Infinite Horror" that even Lao Hei gets goosebumps when he watches it

This is a courtyard surrounded by thick walls on all sides. On the red brick walls that are more than two meters high, a terrible obstacle that is insurmountable was inserted with sharp glass fragments. The entrances that originally hung two semicircular iron doors have now been blocked by two military vehicles with scattered cloth. Although the scene cannot be seen from the outside, Lei Cheng still saw the truth from several gaps with a slight metallic luster.

The round metal reflection cannot be anything other than guns. Judging from the caliber, at least a 7.92mm universal machine gun is mounted on the roof of the black military vehicle.

This conclusion made Lei Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Monsters don't use guns to defend.

Without any doubt, he flashed out of the edge of the wall and strided towards the door where he could not find any entrance.

"Who?"

A hostile low shout came from the roof of the military vehicle. Immediately afterwards, several metal collisions that pulled the gun.

"I'll give a military order." Lei Cheng raised his hands high and replied with relief. It's been two months since he was the first time he had a serious conversation with other living humans except for those dead soldiers.

After the bag with the command was taken away by the other party for a few minutes, a long wooden ladder was also placed from the roof of the military vehicle. With it, there were friendly words full of intimacy.

"Are you tired? Come up quickly."

In a spacious room, Lei Cheng ate his first hot meal in weeks. It was not a simple boiled instant noodles, but a white rice with a scent of aroma, accompanied by a canned lunch meat and a plate of extremely refreshing pickled radish cubes.

He slashed four bowls of rice and swept all the food on the table. Only then did Lei Cheng stretch his waist with an extremely satisfied expression.

He never felt as at ease as he is now. Perhaps, this is the true meaning of human existence!

"Haha! I can't tell, you can eat well."

As he spoke, a tall and strong figure walked into the door. Judging from the warrant officer badge carried on his shoulder, he might be the highest officer here.

"To be honest, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time." Lei Cheng smiled bitterly, stood up from his seat and bowed.

The warrant officer nodded gently, turned his head and looked at the Private logo on Lei Cheng's shoulder: "When was this order issued? How could it be sent by you alone?"

"I'm not a soldier." Lei Cheng sighed and slowly told the story of his encounter with the messenger squad. This also included the specific reason why he stripped off the protective suit from his body.

After listening to the story he told, the warrant officer said nothing. He just took out a pack of wrinkled "Hongtashan" cigarettes from his top pocket, took out one and handed it over. He then grabbed another one with his left hand and came to the oil lamp on the table that had been slightly yellowed by fireworks. Suddenly, the unique fragrance emitted by the tobacco burned, mixed with the strange smell of oil melting by high temperature, gradually spread and filled all the space in the hut in the rising light smoke.

It was only now that Lei Cheng noticed that the items used for lighting in the room were the oil lamps with canned boxes as the base. The flame on it, which was not much bigger than beans, was only enough to illuminate a corner of the room.

"This order... cannot be implemented." The warrant officer twisted the tail of the cigarette and took a sip. His eyes, which were already slightly blood-stained, were full of fatigue and helplessness: "Because, the Fourth Militia Company no longer exists."

Lei Cheng didn't say anything, but just looked at the depressed warrant officer opposite him with puzzled eyes.

"I am an officer of the Third Regiment of the 42nd Division of the Kunming Military Sub-district." Without caring about Lei Cheng's attitude, the warrant officer said to himself: "A few months ago, my team was ordered to break out of the city. After breaking the whole into pieces, he rushed to the designated location in the south of the city to assemble. However, when I led the last two soldiers of my subordinates out of the monster's encirclement and rushed to the assembly point, I realized that there were already a large number of monsters there. All the breakers who arrived in advance were killed. In desperation, we could come to the reserve area, which is here. We hoped to obtain the necessary supplies and contact our superiors. Unexpectedly, we were also attacked by monsters. None of the entire Fourth Militia Company survived."

Speaking of this, Lei Cheng finally understood what the other party said before. All the command objects in the file have died, so naturally there is no need to execute them.

"As for those outside, they are civilian survivors who escaped from the city after us." The warrant officer continued with a wry smile: "In addition to the more than 30 men at the defensive entrance, there are more than a hundred women, elderly people and children in each room. They have no combat power at all... Now, you should understand the situation we are facing, right?"

Lei Cheng nodded silently. The previous sense of security of gaining strong support disappeared in this moment. He had seen too much of the scenes of human beings being eaten alive by monsters. Most of the people who were still desperately calling for help in sharp fangs and bloody mouths were weak people with poor physiques.

"It's not that we don't want to leave here, but we can't leave at all. There are too many civilians who need to be taken care of." The warrant officer took a sip of the cigarette that had obviously shortened in his hand, and sprayed a thick white mist: "I once tried to send two teams of ten people to break through in a row, hoping to get in touch with the base in the south. But in the end, it was not successful. There were a large number of monsters defending each intersection leading to the base. They seemed to want to cut off the city and the outside world in this way."

As he said that, the warrant officer looked up at Lei Cheng on the opposite side and said in a very appreciative tone: "But you are really strong. It is very rare to be able to escape from the city alone. You know, I have been dealing with those monsters for a long time and have never seen anyone like you."

Hearing this, Lei Cheng couldn't help but feel aroused. He asked hurriedly: "So, do you know where those monsters came from?"

The warrant officer shook his head blankly: "I don't know. In fact, I want to know the final answer to this question just like you. But everyone I met is like you and I, and I don't know the reason at all."

I don’t know, maybe it’s an alternative answer in itself!

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Only the weak oil lamp in the can box was slowly shaking, and the poor lamp flowers were also burning cotton wicks, making slight crackling sounds...

"It's not a solution to stay here."

Lei Cheng murmured to touch a toothpick from the table, fiddling with the dim oil lamp, trying to straighten the drooping wick as much as possible. However, the slightly burnt core wire seemed like a soft and rotten straw rope and could no longer stand upright.

"I know, but rather than going out to die, it's better to stay honestly. At least, the food and weapons are quite sufficient here. Moreover, there are a lot of good things... How about it, are you interested in coming and taking a look?"

As he said that, the warrant officer stood up from the chair where there were already obvious signs of looseness, turned around and opened the door that was slightly deformed by the rain, and walked straight out of the room.

Although he was quite mentally prepared, when Lei Cheng saw all kinds of piles of supplies in the underground warehouse with his own eyes, he was still surprised.

Hundreds of huge wooden boxes painted in dark green are neatly placed in the corner of the basement. In addition to various light weapons and equipment commonly used by the military, there are rows of bullets that emit a choking smell of engine oil and emit dazzling reflective lights under the indoor lighting.

On the other side of the basement is a pile of vacuum plastic boxes covered with waterproof cloth. In addition to various canned and biscuits specially used by the military, there are also a large number of cigarettes and high-calorie foods.

"The weapons here are enough to be equipped with a Class B standard light combat battalion. The amount of food is also sufficient, and there is absolutely no problem for 500 people to eat for the first half of the year."

As he said that, the warrant officer walked forward, lifted a corner of the gray-green canvas on the wooden box, picked up a weird-looking assault rifle and threw it to Lei Cheng: "This is the latest equipment that the military began mass production half a year ago, and the number is M5G43. Whether it is firepower, range, or accuracy, it must be far more than the AK in your hand."

Lei Cheng took the gun and pulled the vacant gun chamber and took a closer look. The gun was very light, with a shape and easy to carry. Especially the configuration between the various parts of the gun body was extremely in place.

The warrant officer was right, this gun was indeed good.

"Come on, replace this."

As he spoke, an object was handed over with a plastic film set. When Lei Cheng looked closely, he was a new protective suit painted with camouflage for the Marine Corps.

"This is the latest S6 protective suit." The warrant officer moved the cigarette in his mouth to the corner of his mouth and bent over and sat on a wooden box casually: "This thing is lighter and more solid than the old-fashioned S4 set on you. The ceramic armor fragments in key areas can even withstand any bullets with a diameter of 5.56 within a range of 200 meters. Of course, this is just data released by the army. As for the actual results, I have never tried it myself."

Lei Cheng quickly changed into a new protective suit, and the clothes peeled from the dead soldier were already covered in blood. Although the dirty clothes did not affect the normal performance of their protective ability, it did put considerable psychological pressure on the wearer.

"Why give me these things?" Although there were a lot of supplies stored in the basement, Lei Cheng knew that they were all things belonging to the military. He was just an ordinary civilian.

"You have very good military qualities." The warrant officer bounced the ashes in his hand and said lightly: "At this time, one more helper will give you a greater chance of survival. To be honest, among the more than one hundred people trapped here, all other professional soldiers except me were dead."

Hearing this, Lei Cheng didn't say anything. He just walked slowly to the weapon box, silently picked up cold and heavy magazines and grenades, filling all his pockets.

Suddenly, Lei Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed the M5G43 beside him and took a closer look, with a very strange expression in his eyes.

"No! Since it is the latest mass-produced equipment, why is it put here? Does the military want to change the clothes of this militia company first?"

"Of course not." The warrant officer obviously praised Lei Cheng for thinking about this: "This is just a temporary storage location. In fact, this batch of equipment was originally provided for the military special operations battalion. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of those monsters, I'm afraid that it would have been distributed to the soldiers now."

As he said that, the warrant officer walked to a row of small sealed metal boxes, opened one of them, and took out a tube of light blue liquid sealed with glass.

"What is this?" Lei Cheng was a little curious.

"Hormone." The warrant officer replied without looking back: "It can instantly increase the impulses and expectations of the human brain. It can also make you forget all the pain when you are seriously injured. It is a terrible poison and the final help you can rely on in critical moments."

This is the RS reagent. Lei Cheng once knew its existence from the Internet. This is a forced stimulation drug developed by the military to improve the physiological functions of soldiers. This move once caused strong protests from some countries, including the American Federation. According to them, taking RS reagents will have terrible coercive forces on the human brain. Although it was indeed able to relieve pain and quickly strengthen the physical condition at that time, after the drug effect, the user would die due to detachment, collapse of consciousness, etc. Therefore, this incompletely developed drug is also called the "pleasure of death."

The warrant officer is right, this is indeed the last help before death. Death without feeling any pain and comfort is the greatest happiness of the dead.

There were not many potions in the box, only a dozen. Lei Cheng took a deep breath and took out all the injections left in the box. Then he took out a solid hard iron box from his waist, and carefully put these terrifying poisons that were shaking soft blue light.

Seeing all this, the warrant officer opened his dry lips. In the end, he didn't say anything.

"Life well and never give up your life at will. You must know that it is the most precious thing in your life."

Lying in the soft waterproof military sleeping bag, Lei Cheng's mind was filled with the last words of the warrant officer. The sky outside the window had turned pale and the voices in the yard began to become noisy.

The sky finally dawned.

Lei Cheng fell asleep wrapped in a warm sleeping bag. Only now can he fall asleep without hesitation...

People who are sleeping will never know how quickly time passes. Lei Cheng only knows that when he wakes up, the glass window covered with a layer of dim dirt and is not very transparent, was completely shrouded in the dark night, and there was no trace of light again.

He was awakened by a slight vibration.

The sound is light, slow, and rhythmic. It seems to be coming from the other end of the distant horizon. However, it does exist.

Lei Cheng held his breath, put his ears close to the ground, and listened with concentration for a moment. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, he grabbed the M5G43 beside him and jumped up from his sleeping bag, and rushed out of his room quickly.

There were not many people in the yard, only a few young people holding weapons, standing on the high platform on the wall and walking back and forth to watch.

Without time to think about it, Lei Cheng took out the "Five Seven" pistol on his waist and tapped it in the sky several times. Suddenly, the crisp gunshots broke the leisurely silence in the yard. Everyone in the room rushed out, including the warrant officer.

If it weren't for helplessness, Lei Cheng would never have used such an extreme method. However, he had just arrived last night and did not know anyone here. Even the warrant officer who equipped him, Lei Cheng still didn't know the other party's name until now.

"There are enemies."

Lei Cheng had no time to explain, but just lay on the cold concrete floor and pointed to the distance. The warrant officer with doubt also bent down and listened carefully for a while as Lei Cheng was. Suddenly, his face changed, and he hurriedly stood up and issued a series of arrangement orders.

Standing at the top of the warning tower, Lei Chengping's large-diameter double-tube anti-aircraft machine gun locked the sight with an infrared visitor tightly on the road he came.
