Chapter 19 Refuge Point
This is already the fifth day since Lu Bai came to this world.
As far as the eye can see, there are dense and messy trees, most of which are not tall and straight, with crooked branches.
There is a yellow mud road wide for one person at the foot. To be precise, this can hardly be regarded as a road. It is more appropriate to say that it is a passage formed by occasional people passing by.
It is completely a standard wilderness.
The afternoon sun shines through the branches and leaves and falls on the withered and rotten wooden piles. This scene does not seem pleasant, but makes people feel depressed.
As for why Lu Bai came to this place, we have to start with the positioning information announced an hour ago.
He had been looking for Death Fighters based on positioning information before. Although it was not very efficient, there was no other better way.
However, he noticed something strange from the recently released rounds of positioning information.
There are many Death Fighters who seem to be gathering somewhere.
If he hadn't been paying attention to the positioning information, he might have ignored it.
This is very strange.
What is it about that place that attracts Death Fighters?
After coming to this conclusion, there is nothing much to say.
Even if there was nothing, just looking at the more than thirty red dots that had gathered in that area, Lu Bai wanted to join in the fun.
However, he was unfamiliar with this city and forgot to bring a map to the department store.
So he followed the principle of the shortest straight line between two points and rushed straight to that area.
Who knew that after leaving the city, the road became more and more desolate, and not even an urban-rural fringe was seen.
"I estimate that the straight-line distance is still five or six kilometers. Is it behind this mountain?"
Lu Bai looked up at the mountains in front of him and pursed his dry lips.
As for the plains, let alone five or six kilometers, even fifty or sixty kilometers would not be a problem if Lu Bai was moving at full speed.
But the mountain road is different.
Anyone who has hiked through mountains and forests knows that even with such a small distance, you may not be able to complete it in a day.
Not to mention that there is a possibility of slipping and falling during this period, which is really fatal.
Fortunately, Lu Bai's current physical fitness cannot be considered as ordinary people. If he speeds up, he should be able to arrive before dark.
Of course, taking this sparsely populated road is not without its benefits, at least you don't have to worry about zombies suddenly jumping out.
Lu Bai continued to walk along the path deeper into the mountain forest, and the surrounding environment became increasingly deserted and quiet.
When he finally reached the top of the mountain, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, when he came to the top of the mountain, he didn't need to climb up and look far away. As long as his eyesight was fine, he would know what was going on in the place that attracted many death fighters.
At the angle between the two mountains, there is a huge military base.
There is no problem even calling it a fortress.
A road extends from the main entrance of the base, and a tunnel penetrates the mountain to connect the base with the outside world.
There are heavily armed soldiers on guard in the guard towers around the base.
Dozens of soldiers guarded the closed door.
In front of these soldiers, at least a thousand civilians were queuing up for inspection. It seemed that they were confirming that they were not infected before they were allowed to enter the military base.
As for the training ground inside the military base, it is covered by continuous military tents.
Looking down from a high position, it is quite spectacular.
During this period, vehicles could be seen emerging from the tunnels from time to time. They seemed to be survivors escaping from the city.
Lu Bai was a little confused. After seeing this scene, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have mentioned it on the radio.
[Residents nearby are advised to seek refuge in the suburbs as soon as possible while ensuring their own safety...] However, due to the influence of zombie movies in his previous life, he didn't take it seriously.
Together with you, this is really a refuge.
"Stereotypes are unacceptable."
If anything, this situation is actually a normal development.
Film and television works need to exaggerate a doomsday atmosphere to highlight the difficult survival of the protagonist group, but reality does not require it.
The fact is that as long as the army survives the initial chaos, even if there are only one or two hundred people left, it will not be too difficult to clear a city of hundreds of thousands of people.
After the Maxim machine gun appeared on the stage of history, the traditional intensive charge had no meaning.
Television and games have weakened the lethality of firearms, and flesh and blood are more fragile than ordinary people imagine.
You must know that the damage caused by the 7.62mm bullet hitting the human body is completely overflowing.
Hitting the body will first leave a hole at the point of entry, and finally a wound larger than a fist at the point of exit.
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the currently known carbon-based creatures, including dinosaurs, can withstand 7.62mm without being harmed.
Conventional heavy machine guns fire bullets of two calibers, 12.7mm and 14.5mm, which are basically torso separators for humans.
Zombies, even the ridiculously strong zombies Lu Bai saw, still belong to the category of carbon-based organisms.
It may be easier for the army to face the zombie tide than it is to face the same number of humans.
After all, zombies don't turn around and run away.
However, this situation is actually not too good for Lu Bai.
He stood on the top of the mountain and observed for a while, and roughly estimated that there were probably tens of thousands of people in this military base.
Dozens of death fighters were thrown in, and not even a splash was made.
The most important thing is that even if Lu Bai finds the death fighters among them, it is not easy to do it blatantly.
But it’s all here...
He pressed his temples with a headache, hesitated for a moment, and then walked along the path down the mountain in the direction of the military base.
…
"stop!"
On the wall, a soldier in camouflage uniform aimed his gun at Lu Bai.
The wall on the side of the military base is ten meters high, and it is made of reinforced concrete. There is no doubt about its sturdiness.
After a brief observation and no obvious wounds on Lu Bai's body, the soldier pointed his gun in the direction of the door: "Go and line up for inspection."
"OK."
Lu Bai nodded obediently. He originally planned to go in directly over the wall.
He thought to himself: "Even such a remote place is guarded. It seems that this base has more manpower than I thought. The defense force is so strong that no Death Fighter would dare to kill here. In a sense , considered a safe zone?”
Lu Bai thought about it while blending into the crowd.
Anyway, there are thousands of civilians lining up outside the gate waiting for inspection, so he won't look out of place if he sneaks in.
Two rows of makeshift checkpoints made of tents divided the queue into two columns.
Affected by the need to maintain order from time to time, the speed of the team passing through was not fast at all.
Lu Bai looked around. The crowd around him didn't seem to be in a good state of mind, and many people even had blood stains on their clothes.
It is not easy for these people to come here alive.
