Chapter 49 Unexpected
Tao Yu did not do anything due to the fleeting sense of crisis.
Judging from Jack's attitude towards Cao Shaolin, he has now begun to accept this new boy. If he suddenly targets Cao Shaolin, he will face resistance from the entire gathering place.
Just look for opportunities at night, don't arouse the other party's alertness and vigilance first.
So on the surface, Tao Yu also showed a smile full of kindness towards Cao Shaolin.
"Let's go, I'm also a little curious about how it suddenly disappeared."
"Well, let's go and see together."
Jack translated it for Tommy and the others.
There were more than twenty people in the gathering place, but not many of them had weapons and fighting abilities. There were also about ten old, weak, sick and children.
In this seven-month apocalyptic environment, there are still ten old, weak, sick and children in the team, and a third of them are women. In fact, it is enough to show that Jack is indeed a character with a strong sense of justice. and character.
As a former member of the CIA task force, he is not a virgin, but as a partner, he is actually more suitable to be entrusted to the back than most of the Blazers.
Tao Yu made a judgment in her mind about the gathering place, and several people followed the corridor to the room where they were originally held, opened the door and walked in.
This room has been cleaned once. Except for the window being boarded up, it is just an ordinary hotel room. You can see that the mattress on the bed is a bit messy and untidy.
“They were all tied up and usually just sitting on the bed. Because we didn’t have enough food, we just gave them some expired food to hang them alive.
"But this time I found that everything was gone, including the ropes that were tied up. There were no traces of escape. Everything was so normal."
When Cao Shaolin said this, he really looked a little surprised.
"Brother Cao is responsible for the food?"
Tao Yu asked casually.
"You have to do something within your ability. I'm not as good at fighting as Brother Jie, so I can only contribute to the logistics."
Cao Shaolin showed a shy smile.
"Just disappeared?"
Jack stood in front of the boarded-up window, looking a little confused. He couldn't figure out why this was happening.
They would definitely not be able to understand this kind of transformed living person before they encounter it for the first time.
"Didn't these three people say anything? Did they leave any other clues? Why did they attack you?"
Tao Yu also made a timely inquiry.
"Their accents are very strange, and the food is plentiful, which relieves a lot of our stress."
Jack began to think back.
"And they have a strong desire to survive. They have been begging us for a chance since they were captured. Looking at it now, they must have planned and were sure to leave.
"As for the reason for attacking us, they said they wanted to coerce a few ordinary people to help them explore the road, so they didn't kill them. They found a gas station with rich supplies and told us the location."
Hearing this, Tao Yu thought quickly in his heart.
The accent is strange and normal, and it must have taken a lot of effort to communicate. As for the supplies, for ordinary pioneers in outer cities, it should be a normal operation for ordinary outer city pioneers to carry supplies back to sell and draw maps to make money.
That gas station may really have a lot of supplies, such as trucks, but there are more zombies.
Or it could have been a temporary gathering place for a small group of pioneers.
"They no longer have weapons, so just raising their guard should be enough."
Jack couldn't figure it out, and simply didn't think about it anymore. He had so many things to worry about every day that he was losing his hair.
"Brother Zhang Wei, have you decided to take a break and leave?"
Jack turned around and asked Tao Yu again.
"yes."
"Can I ask who you work for to investigate zombie information? Is there any formal force now? The official broadcasts are gone, and now there are only broadcasts from some places that have lost contact."
Seeing that the time was right, Jack also made an inquiry, wanting to know where else he could arrange manpower to investigate.
They are struggling to survive now, but there is a place where they can arrange manpower to investigate. This gap is too big.
"I work for a company, and the company is currently planning to build a gathering place in a nearby area. If the conditions are right, I think you can join in."
Tao Yu thought about it and gave some of the information that could be given.
Absorbing the fragmented indigenous people in the gathering place is one direction of development. After all, most people from the outer cities can be regarded as ordinary people, and the number of early pioneers is too small.
Someone like Jack might be able to stand out when employing people.
"Gathering place? Such a big deal?"
Cao Shaolin also looked a little surprised at this time, with a look of excitement on his face, and seemed to be quite interested.
Jack and the others also listened attentively, but only they knew how much they believed.
"Well, now we are actually looking for a suitable location. I personally think this place is pretty good."
Tao Yu really wasn't talking nonsense. They had discovered the frozen world in other directions, which was obviously not suitable. The rainforest had to be temporarily opened up and there was black water in the grassland.
Although there are zombies everywhere here, the buildings are ready-made.
Especially since we already know that this is a city called Henderson in Nevada, about ten kilometers northwest of the famous Las Vegas.
Although they are surrounded by zombies, in comparison, these ordinary zombies are far less troublesome in environments such as black water and extreme cold.
Coupled with the information about the meteorite that can make weapons and is obviously a powerful wish-power item, Tao Yu feels that she can exchange for thousands of wish-power units just by going back now.
"This..., do you think this place is good?"
Jack couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Relatively good. I can't even rule out that those three guys are mercenaries who took over the company's mission."
Tao Yu took the initiative to propose this.
In fact, if he didn't say it out loud, some people would definitely suspect that he was related to the three people in front of him, and so far, it was Jack and the other three combatants who followed him, and they never let down their guard.
Might as well be honest.
"Mercenary? Is there still such a job now?"
Bald Tommy was a little surprised. As a former Marine, he also worked as a mercenary for a while.
And in this crazy day, they really don't mind Tao Yu's words too much. They are all adults, and they will have their own judgments in their hearts, and they will not use individuals to represent the whole.
"It's actually difficult to explain the company's situation clearly now. When we start to establish a gathering place, you will probably understand it."
Tao Yu once again gave some information appropriately, then hesitated for a moment and then asked bluntly: "In addition, besides zombies, I am actually investigating another matter. You are all more or less related to the military." There are some connections, I don’t know if they are clear.”
"you say."
Jack was also thinking about what Tao Yu said.
"It's a kind of meteorite that can produce weapons of mass destruction. The company wants to use it to clean up the corpses."
Items in different environments have completely different functions!
If it were peacetime, Jack would definitely be very vigilant. After all, he was the one who was almost silenced on this mission.
However, in the later period, because his boss wanted to sell this kind of thing, it was not surprising that some related large groups knew the information, and some people came over to pay.
And with this kind of apocalypse happening right now, we really need an item that can clean up zombies on a large scale!
When the infection first got out of control, some people proposed nuclear bomb disinfection, but they accidentally discovered that the nuclear bomb was ineffective!
Then, there was no more, no time for research at all.
Tao Yuna first gave some information, and now asked questions in return. Jack hesitated for a moment and actually said a few words
"I also know what you are talking about. In fact, the current location of the meteorite is about a distance from here." It’s not too far away, it should be a military base about a hundred kilometers northwest of Las Vegas.”
Hearing this, Tao Yu's eyes lit up slightly.
Originally, he was thinking of simply using this information to turn in a mission in exchange for some effort.
But now, maybe you can try to find it yourself!
More than a hundred kilometers may seem like a long time, but if there is suitable transportation and routes, it really is nothing.
Except for Jack and Cao Shaolin, most of this world is filled with ordinary people and zombies, which is suitable for my own performance.
"Mr. Jack knows? Then I wonder if Mr. Jack is willing to take me there in person. I have a lot of food here. I am willing to use it as payment, and I can promise to help the company in the future."
Tao Yu looked at Jack with burning eyes, making Jack hesitate.
As a former member of the CIA task force, he was also betrayed by his superiors.
When he heard that Tao Yu wanted those meteorites, his first thought was that another inherently evil company wanted to manufacture weapons.
Later, after thinking about the current environment, I revealed something.
Now Tao Yu is sincerely willing to leave food, this kind of hard currency in the last days, regardless of the quantity, but this attitude cannot be said.
He didn't mean that he directly believed Tao Yu's words about the company's gathering place and cleaning up zombies, but at least he thought he could give it a try!
Determine by observing on the road.
"I can try..."
Hearing Jack's words, Tao Yu was still a little happy in her heart. Having a guy who had a sense of justice, was generally trustworthy, and had strong mobility to lead the way would really save a lot of trouble.
But then Tao Yu fell silent for a moment after catching a glimpse of Cao Shaolin.
If this playboy, who enjoys killing, were left here alone, he might have wiped out his family by the time he and Jack came back.
Wait until night and strike first!
In fact, if you want to maximize the cost-effectiveness, you should wait until Cao Shaolin starts to take action, then expose and stop him in front of Jack and others. The effect of reminding others of pitfalls on the road is far less effective than waiting for others to fall into a pit and helping them out.
but……
Tao Yu doesn't want this...
…
"There's new food."
"They are all high-energy foods. They will last at least a few more days."
"..."
Although most of what Tao Yu carried was food, in order to replenish his physical strength when necessary, it was still something that one person could carry on his back, and the amount of pure food was only about thirty kilograms.
But even so, this batch of food still made the people in this small gathering place feel happy.
In this case, no one had any problem with Jack leaving for a few days.
"I heard the radio when I came over. There should be a small gathering place over there."
Tao Yu watched Bald Tommy lock the supplies into the warehouse and asked Jack next to him.
"There are actually many small gathering places in the city, usually centered on hotels, apartments, and supermarkets, but that radio station is from Las Vegas next door."
Jack looked at the joy in everyone's eyes and sighed.
"Now there are already attacks and plunders between gathering places. Sometimes humans are more terrifying than zombies..."
"Ha, are you afraid that I am a spy arranged here?"
Hearing Tao Yu's words, Jack also rolled his eyes.
"I don't know what's going on in the city better than you do? How could I arrange a spy like you?"
Having said this, he paused again.
"Besides, even if it is true, we will provide food if we can, but you will have to live alone in a room at night, and Shaolin does the same now."
Although Jack said it was good, he still needed to be on guard.
Just like the three combatants had been following Tao Yu.
They didn't act so 'naive'.
Cao Shaolin had just entered the gathering place, and now he was also in a room alone. Tao Yu also had a smile on his face and asked Cao Shaolin cordially
"Brother Shaolin, we will be neighbors from now on."
"Brother Zhang said, please take care of me."
Cao Shaolin also showed a fake smile...
…
It was night, and Tao Yu, who had always been leaning against the wall, silently looked at the night outside through the cracks in the wooden boards nailed to the window.
The sky seemed to be covered with clouds, and the moonlight was completely obscured by dark clouds, making it appear pitch black.
Tao Yu reached out and slid his hand through the gap between the wooden boards on the window, and estimated the size.
The function of this wooden board is not only external defense, but also a kind of defense against pottery jade, but overall it is only human-sized. After all, to ensure ventilation, the gap is still not small.
"That should be enough..."
Tao Yu waited until three o'clock in the morning before taking out two Qi-boosting pills and putting them in his mouth.
Then he suddenly escaped into the shadows, entering the mottled shadow world in an instant, quickly squeezed in through the gaps in the wooden boards, then quickly went around to the side, and poured into Cao Shaolin's room.
However, what almost made Tao Yu stunned was that at the same time that he had just escaped into the room, Cao Shaolin, who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes, sat up and looked around warily!
Even Li Hui, the deputy captain of the outer city security team, was not aware of Tao Yu at first.
This is also the source of Tao Yu's own confidence.
However, how could I have imagined that this arrangement, which was just for the sake of safety, would actually encounter such a situation?
No wonder that while feeling malicious, there is also a sense of crisis!
"What a rat!"
The appearance of Cao Shaolin and the good-looking Mr. Tian Tian changed completely, with a cold expression, and he strode directly towards the general direction of Tao Yu's location.
The standard Bajiquan fighting method made Tao Yu feel like he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and he entered bullet time in an instant!
It was obvious that he should have made a sneak attack, but the other party actually took the lead. What a sense of perception!
However, Tao Yu could see clearly by looking at the other party's pupils that the other party did not see him, but probably sensed this direction through unknown means!
Under bullet time, Cao Shaolin's originally ferocious and violent high-speed cannon punch also immediately slowed down.
The expression on the face that had become ferocious due to the strong wind, the empty pupils, the movement that seemed to be caused by tilting the head, and the fist wind that slightly distorted the air, all appeared in front of Tao Yu's eyes like a slow motion. .
With the help of [Bullet Time], which consumes physical energy and accelerates the body, Tao Yu felt that all his energy and blood were mobilized.
With his current strong body, he felt a sharp pain like tearing.
The energy and blood spurred an explosion of force, and in conjunction with Crane Xing's simple movements, Tao Yu sideways dodged the wind of the fist. At the same time, he reversed his wrist and slashed hard towards the opponent's chest and abdomen with the dog-legged knife.
I want to rely on the staggered interlacing of bodies to directly disembowel the body.
But what made Tao Yu feel chilly was that even in the extreme scene of [Bullet Time], he actually saw the opponent's knees and elbows begin to twist abnormally.
When he raised his knees and pressed his elbows, Tao Yu wanted to strike at the opponent's chest and abdomen, but was caught firmly between Cao Shaolin's raised knees and lowered elbows.
This made Tao Yu almost want to curse.
The style of painting has changed!
Pfft~
The power of the shadow that enveloped Tao Yu's whole body poured out, and in conjunction with the power of Tao Yu's own slash, it was like the ocean embracing all rivers, flowing towards Cao Shaolin's knees and elbows along with the slash.
In an instant, the clothes and fabrics around the opponent's knees and elbows flew away!
The bronze body surface also left messy blood stains in the air.
In addition, the mental shock attached to [Basic Weapon Modification] also made Cao Shaolin groan, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
But even so, the defense with the dog-leg knife did not loosen at all.
Even due to the entanglement of multiple forces, the dog-legged knife broke in response.
Click~
But just when Cao Shaolin endured the dizziness in his head and the tearing pain caused by the physical attack, he was about to pull away and fight back.
Turning around, he saw the pistol that Tao Yu had just taken out, and the black muzzle.
Pupils shrank, Cao Shaolin turned his head to avoid the bullets that were sprayed out with the fire at the critical moment.
After seeing clearly that it was Tao Yu, his expression was ferocious.
Cao Shaolin never expected that he had always been the only one to play tricks on others, but this time someone took the initiative to come to his door!
I want you to die!
But he didn't wait until he turned his furious thoughts into actions.
The bullet that was supposed to be dodged by him turning his head suddenly turned and penetrated into his eyes.
grass! What a beast!
“He’s not dead yet?”
Tao Yu smacked her tongue and watched as her eyes turned into blood holes. She just raised her head and backed away. Cao Shaolin, who seemed to be about to turn over and break open the window to escape, was also completely shocked.
Then he fired a bunch of bullets in succession, never leaving his head.
Cao Shaolin turned around and took the first step, and was shot in the back of the head. The mental shock along with the physical blow made him dizzy.
But the strengthened hard skull actually blocked the bullet, but the skull cracked and he did not die suddenly.
Looking at the boarded-up window in front of him, he also felt a desire for life in his heart.
As long as you rush over, as long as you crash out, you can survive!
Then he must come back and kill them all!
The toy actually rebelled against its owner!
However, it is a pity that although his speed and strength are extremely terrifying, his defense power is also quite amazing, and his vitality is tenacious.
But he was hit with a bullet every step of the way, and he couldn't dodge it no matter how hard he took it. Along with the violent mental shock, his last ray of consciousness collapsed when his head hit the wooden board.
In the end, the entire corpse was stuck on the broken wooden board and died with its eyes open.
Not to mention Cao Shaolin, even Tao Yu's heart was pounding at this time.
He was sure that Cao Shaolin was definitely not simple, and that sense of threat was real.
So go all out!
I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem if I made a sneak attack!
Who would have thought that not only did he use all his methods, but he almost overturned.
If [One Permanent Certificate] hadn't allowed me to ignore the torn strain and take out the pistol immediately, and was hit by the opponent's ferocious counterattack, my claws would have been numb.
His skull resisted a round of bullets before he died. What the hell.
Reload the pistol until you confirm that the power of will on the opponent begins to gather.
Only when the commotion outside woke up everyone, he quickly dragged his tired body over.
"Not the body part?"
Tao Yu was a little surprised to find that the will power finally gathered on the golden pistol in the opponent's waist that he had never had the chance to use.
Ignoring so much, he quickly cleaned up the bullet casings at the scene, bit Tao Yu who quickly recovered from the Qi-boosting pills in his mouth, and threw Cao Shaolin's body under the house through the broken window.
Then he escaped into the shadows and returned to his room.
I casually sensed the harvest of the golden pistol.
Simply absorbing the will power can reach more than a thousand units.
This is enough to kill more than fifty aliens!
