Chapter 1677 Northwest reconnaissance team, retreat!(1/2)
The night is getting darker.
northwest.
The cold wind is blowing.
The northwest has cooled down a lot recently, with temperatures dropping to minus seven to eight degrees at night.
Blackhand and Zheng Shiwu have been stationed here for more than two months.
The original task given to them was to stay here for three months, but the time has not yet arrived.
During the day, the communication staff of the Oil City Communications Office kept calling them, but no one came through.
In order to save the power of the radio station, the two gangsters will only turn it on when they need to contact Oil City.
Normally, they would contact Oil City once every two days, and they would only contact Oil City in the evening after their investigation was completed.
in the cellar,
The creaking hand-pressed flashlight kept making a sound.
"Old Zheng, what happened at the northwest base during the day? Are you sure it was a wall-climbing zombie?" The black hand pressed the flashlight, and the light from the flashlight flickered on and off.
Zheng Shiwu opened the box, turned on the radio, put the headset on his head and said:
"I'm sure, although I don't know why the wall-climbing zombies came out during the day, but they are indeed wall-climbing zombies!"
"Stop talking, I have to contact Oil City quickly and report the situation."
"oh."
Blackhand looked at the cellar wall in a daze, remembering the scene in the northwest base he saw a few hours ago, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
He saw with his own eyes the two wall-climbing zombies that climbed onto the wall of the northwest base, bit everyone they saw, and mutated into zombies in a very short period of time.
If it hadn't been for the captain on duty who brought people to support in time, I'm afraid the northwest base wall would have been completely lost.
But in such a short period of time, they paid the price of dozens of deaths.
There are only two wall-climbing zombies. If more wall-climbing zombies come, the wall will probably fall immediately.
The reason why two wall-climbing zombies can cause such power is related to their belief that wall-climbing zombies will only appear at night. In addition, the gloomy weather is not very good, so the visibility is not very good.
So their guards didn't notice the situation under the wall and relaxed their vigilance.
Zombies climbing walls during the day come out, so if they continue to investigate...
The risk is too high.
And it is difficult to get water now, so they have to go out.
well.........
I don't know what to do now.
Just when he was worried about what to do next.
There was a sound of electricity coming from the side.
Sizzling——
"I am Zheng Shiwu from the investigation team, calling Oil City..."
After Zheng Shiwu called two or three times, he still didn't receive a reply, so he carried the box to the entrance of the cellar.
He climbed up the ladder towards the cellar, holding the ladder with one hand, and pushing open the upper cover with the other hand, opening a small gap.
Then climbed down.
call--
"Black Hand, come here, take the ultraviolet light and turn it on."
He was worried that if he opened the cellar cover, the smell of the two of them would drift out and attract zombies climbing the wall.
Turning on the ultraviolet light is for self-protection.
The black hand naturally understood his thoughts, stopped pressing the hand lamp, and walked over with the ultraviolet lamp.
Purple-blue lights lit up in this dark cellar.
Zheng Shiwu held the radio station and repeated the call just now.
A minute later, a reply came.
"This is Oil City, and I have finally contacted you."
Chen Siyu from the Oil City Communications Office said with some excitement:
"The latest notice is that wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day, and the reconnaissance mission is suspended. Please return to Oil City immediately."
Hearing the news from Oil City, Zheng Shiwu was stunned for a few seconds.
But he quickly realized that it seemed that the appearance of wall-climbing zombies in the northwest base during the day was not a special case.
This situation has been discovered in oil cities thousands of kilometers away.
After reacting, Zheng Shiwu quickly said:
"Received. In addition, when we were investigating the northwest base today, we found two wall-climbing zombies climbing up the wall of the northwest base and causing dozens of deaths."
He originally wanted to warn Oil City that wall-climbing zombies would appear during the day.
Unexpectedly, Oil City knew about this situation before they did.
Chen Siyu quickly said:
"Okay, in addition, it is too far for you to come back from the northwest, and there is also the danger of wall-climbing zombies. Taking these problems into consideration, in order to allow you to return to the trading market safely."
"Oil City has decided to send a helicopter to pick you up in West City. Please keep in touch during the journey and don't lose contact."
When Zheng Shiwu heard what Chen Siyu said, his face lit up. He was just worried about how to get back so far away.
Now we only need to go to West Market, which means the distance has been shortened by half.
"Received, we will set off back to the trading market tomorrow."
"What's your current material situation?"
"There is still enough food and plenty of fuel. The main problem is water shortage, but we can find ways to get water."
"Do you have any other information you need to share?"
"No, I mainly wanted to report about the appearance of wall-climbing zombies during the day, but you already know that."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety. We will wait for your return at the trading market."
"OK."
Zheng Shiwu took off the headset, with an excited expression on his face.
Since Zheng Shiwu was wearing a headset, Black Shou did not hear the voice from the Oil City. He could only get a rough idea of what Zheng Shiwu said and asked:
"What's wrong? Oil City wants us to go back?"
"right."
Zheng Shiwu nodded and said:
"Zombies climbing walls have been discovered in Oil City, so let's suspend the mission and go back directly."
"It's so far away, and there are wall-climbing zombies everywhere. It would be too dangerous to go back..." Black Hand was a little worried.
"How about waiting a little longer?"
"What are you waiting for! We can go back, why are we still here? It's so dangerous here, there's no need for us to stay here." Zheng Shiwu said with a frown.
"What are you thinking about? Why don't you want to go back?" Zheng Shiwu asked again.
Blackhand thought of the two wall-climbing zombies during the day, and said with a somewhat solemn expression:
"Go back two thousand kilometers, and wall-climbing zombies may appear at any time. It's too dangerous!"
"We still have more than two months of food here, so why not stay here and wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Zheng Shiwu then asked.
The black hand smashed his mouth and said:
"With such thick clouds, it could rain or snow at any time. What if it happens to rain or snow on our way back?"
"After this rain and snow is over and the sun comes out, we can go back. Anyway, we still have food for more than two months."
When Black Hand and Zheng Shiwu came out, due to the long journey, in order to avoid various accidents, the materials prepared for them were all prepared in a saturated manner.
For example, two people will perform a mission for three months, so the food prepared for them is five months.
These foods are individual combat rations, compressed biscuits and the like found at the Wu City military base. They are small in size and have a long storage time, making them easy to carry.
Blackhand didn't want to return to Oil City immediately because he had his concerns.
After all, it is getting darker and darker now, and there are also wall-climbing zombies. In the past, they only appeared at night, but now they come out during the day.
The way back is destined to be extremely dangerous.
To be continued...
