Chapter 405: Entering Town
There is not much gasoline in the Raptor's fuel tank, but if you pump the gasoline out of the wrecked Sababan's fuel tank and drive back to Highway 13, it will be no problem to return to the previous town. Not big.
No matter how bad things get, you will always run into passing vehicles. Contacting the outside world first seems to be the safest plan.
But there is no fool among the people present. What does it mean to be ambushed by a group of monsters on the only way to a small town?
On this moonless night, I wonder what fate is happening to the residents of that remote town?
While Rosie and Hotchner were discussing, Jack pulled out three more corpses from the bushes where the monsters were hiding and threw them together with the previous two corpses.
Reed had woken up from a coma and was enduring the vomiting sensation caused by a slight concussion. He squatted in front of the Raptor and studied the corpses by the light.
Seeing that there was still blood oozing from his armpit, but he didn't seem to notice it, and he looked like he was immersed in concentration. Jack could only pull him aside first and clean his wound.
"What are you studying?"
Jack washed his hands with bottled water, took out a leather case from the car, opened the silver flask inside, and poured some diluted The "water of life" simply disinfects the hands.
Then he directly used the remaining alcohol to rinse Red's wound, causing the guy to grin in pain.
“I want to know what made them like this.”
There is also a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao he prepared before in the leather case, which comes in handy, if nothing else. , the effect of external application of medicated powder on hemostasis and analgesia is quite good.
While applying medicine and bandaging to him, Jack briefly told what he had experienced in New Mexico.
In the BAU team, only Rosie, who helped summon the seal, and Jiejie, who heard Jack's story, knew about it.
".That's pretty much it. The monsters here are more disgusting than those ogres. Those ogres look a bit human."
Red caught Jack's complaint. Got the point.
“You are saying that the ones you met in New Mexico were mutations caused by nuclear radiation?”
“It is said that yes, their entire group is controlled by a perverted family and exploited They are digging deep in the mountains."
Jack was suddenly stunned as he spoke. Why did they chase them all the way here? Isn’t it just because of a glass bead with nuclear radiation and a photo with a nuclear test site in the background?
Emily, who had been listening to their chat, ran to the back of the Raptor, took out the Geiger counter that Jack had used from the trunk, and got close to the corpses of the monsters on the ground.
“Beep beep!” the Geiger counter shouted happily.
“Where do you think these monsters will come from?”
Rossi and Hotchner, who were talking in low voices, were also attracted by the beeping sound. Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a moment. What if To say this was a coincidence would be a bit insulting to the intelligence of everyone present.
There must be some relationship between the appearance of these monsters and Jeremy, and the answer may lie in the town of Meihu not far away.
——
It seemed that there was no need to make any decisions. Everyone began to count the weapons and ammunition they owned. They found two Noveske N4 assault rifles. Each gun came with a magazine and two spare magazines.
Jiejie had emptied two magazines in one go. Fortunately, there were still enough bullets in Saboban's weapon box, but reloading was a bit troublesome.
The other people’s self-defense weapons are Glock 22 sidearms. Each person has 2 spare magazines, and the bullets are enough. If they are empty, they can be reloaded.
Jack's FK7.5 also has plenty of ammunition. Since he suffers from the phobia of running out of ammunition, he always brings four spare magazines and two boxes of ammunition with him when he goes out.
Their last resort was still the Barrett MK22-MOD0-ASR. Hotchner and the others came on the Gulfstream and conveniently loaded the gun into the Saber when they got off the plane. The protection of the gun box is very good. Although the Saboban was damaged in the collision, the assault rifle and sniper rifle placed in the weapon box and kept in separate gun boxes did not suffer any damage.
Although under normal circumstances, this kind of big sniper is definitely not as useful as an assault rifle in an encounter, but for those who once used a Barrett as a heavyweight on a small island in Southeast Asia For Jack, who was shot with a machine gun, it was another story.
Two assault rifles were assigned to Jie Jie and Hotchner, while Jack gave his Glock pistol to Emily. Her pistol shooting skills were much more reliable than Red's.
Red's sidearm was given to Rossi. Hotchner's backup gun was a revolver, which was given to him for self-defense. His main job was to keep all the bullets and use the loader in the event of a firefight. Reload everyone's empty magazines.
After putting on his body armor and inserting the bulletproof plates, Jack jumped onto the side of the Raptor with Barrett in his arms, and then patted the car body hard. This time, Rossi was driving, and Hotchner was in the passenger seat.
Rossi drove very slowly. Firstly, because the windshield was broken into pieces and affected the field of vision. It was directly removed. The speed was too fast and he could not open his eyes. Secondly, he was worried about encountering another person on the road. ambush.
Putting on the wireless headset, Jack from behind the truck heard Red's excited chatter again.
“It feels like we are like ‘The A-Team’, going to police evil, punish rape, and uphold justice.”
(Old version of “The A-Team” 1983 It premiered in 2011, and its status in the history of old and American TV dramas is almost similar to that of "Journey to the West" to us)
"Shut up, Dr. Reed!"
"Quiet!"
——
Half an hour later, the Raptor F150, with its lights turned off, slowly drove out of the mountain. On the forest road, we came to an intersection, but it was still pitch black in front of us, not even a single street light was on.
"Red, are you sure we didn't go the wrong way?" Along the way, Jack used the night vision device on the Barrett to check the surrounding situation from time to time, but found nothing.
There are at least a few hundred residents in the town. Given the "simple" folk customs in the central and western regions, even if dozens of ogres enter, there won't be any movement at all.
It should be normal for gunshots to be heard and smoke to be everywhere at this moment.
"Most residents should be at the small lake at the foot of the west mountain at the moment, celebrating the 'Mountain Man Music Festival' with tourists."
Reed replied, "Now the town should There are not many people. I suspect that the ambush we encountered before was not aimed at people entering the town, but to prevent someone from escaping and asking for help."
Jack was trying to recall the plot of this movie all the way, and it seemed like it was indeed the case. Rhett said that in order to save an old man who helped them trap tourists, the ogre massacred the entire police station while the town was empty.
But he really couldn't recall the specifics. After all, who would remember the plot after watching a low-cost plasma movie? It was just a matter of fun. The selling point of this kind of drama is nothing more than watching a vicious beauty fighting a monster.
There are a lot of bugs in the plot itself, who knows how it will evolve into this world.
Just like the group we encountered in New Mexico, it was the gold mine and the Eugene family. The number of ogres had increased countless times.
And in Jack's impression, although the deformed people in "Fatal Turn" look ferocious and terrifying, they are not as disgusting as before. He doesn't know if other horror movies have been incorporated into it.
The Raptor continued to move forward slowly. When passing a road sign, Rossi stopped the car again. Hotchner in the passenger seat pointed his flashlight at the road sign.
A human head was poked on the top of the street sign, blood was flowing down, and the words "Welcome to Meihu Town" were divided into two, and the atmosphere of terror was directly filled.
