Chapter 40: On the verge of breaking out
The shock wave generated by the explosion carried various fragments, soared for a certain distance in the air, and then gradually began to fall towards the ground.
The power of this explosion was so strong that the ground was clearly shaking. Basically, there was no need to expect the sniper on the roof to survive.
In just a few breaths, there were gunshots and explosions, and the fatigue of a sleepless night was swept away. Everywhere he could see were people fleeing in fear.
Unlike these people who didn't know what was going on and were scared to death, Lu Bai still acted like a normal person, and even his tone of voice didn't change much.
"It seems to be to deal with the snipers, but how was this done?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another violent roar. This time the explosion occurred in the administrative building where the headquarters is located.
Looking up in the direction of the sound, through the billowing smoke, I could vaguely see a figure moving around, trying to land on the ground using equipment similar to a hook lock.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Bai's mouth twitched.
Three-dimensional mobile device?
This is really the Survey Corps.
"Sure enough, we took action. We made such a big noise just to deal with the sniper on the commanding heights. What a great effort." Zhuo Yue squatted on the roof of the tent and sighed with emotion.
Xiao Xueyin frowned slightly, thinking, and said: "Aren't they afraid of being picked off by others if they do this?"
This is also true.
Although the sudden explosion caught many Death Fighters off guard, they would quickly react.
If you want to grab a "node", now is an excellent opportunity.
The situation changed drastically. In an instant, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the crowd and quickly crossed the orange cordon. Among them, you could even see a round aunt.
The calmness in the second half of the night was more due to the strange balance reached by a tacit understanding between the Death Fighters who did not want others to take advantage of them. Now, the balance was broken first by the Survey Corps.
The man in the sweatshirt looked at Xiao Xueyin and then at Lu Bai: "Are we going?"
"Don't worry, let's take another look."
Xiao Xueyin still couldn't figure it out: "The Survey Corps is so well prepared, is it just to make wedding clothes for others?"
One thing that needs to be explained is that the defense inside the building is not strong.
After all, the entire military base only preserved a total of more than 500 troops.
Due to the appearance of zombies in various areas of the settlement site, the rapid reaction force and two companies of soldiers were also transferred.
The remaining two hundred or so people must not only guard the passages in some resettlement areas, but also ensure the safety of the administrative buildings and scientific research centers.
Not long ago, Zhou Zongming took a team of people from the building to check the situation.
Now, it would be good to have a platoon of troops inside the entire scientific research center building.
This means that there is no need for more Death Fighters to rush in later. Just the dozen or so Death Fighters in the first wave can kill through the scientific research center.
"Do you still have to wait? If the person who grabs the 'node' is a coward and just runs away, then we may not be able to get it back."
What Liu Yue said was not unreasonable, but judging from her excited look, it was hard to tell that she didn't want to join in the fun.
"Don't worry about that."
Lu Bai touched his chin: "The 'node' will not be taken away so easily."
Hearing this, Xiao Xueyin glanced at him calmly. At the same time, fierce gunshots were heard inside the scientific research center building, and many ricochet bullets even penetrated the glass and fell outside the cordon.
One unlucky man was directly hit by a bullet and let out a scream.
The people running around were startled. Although they still didn't know which way to escape, it was definitely fine to stay away from the scientific research center.
The advantage of being able to check the system panel at any time is that by comparing the current number of Death Fighters, you can determine the general situation in the scientific research center.
Despite the intensive gunfire in the building, during this period, the number of death fighters dropped by two.
Maybe it was Zhou Zongming's side who caused casualties to the Survey Corps.
I believe most death fighters know this.
Based on this, some people couldn't hold themselves back one after another and followed the footsteps of the forerunners and rushed into the building.
As time goes by, it can be clearly felt that the sound of gunfire is gradually weakening, and the resistance in the scientific research center is dying out.
Liu Yue was grinding the pebbles under her feet in boredom, and was so irritated that she wanted to stamp her feet: "Are we just going to watch like this?"
"There's really no rush. Look, the other teams didn't show up."
Xiao Xueyin patiently reassured: "If nothing else happens, the scientific research center should be surrounded by death fighters now."
Picking peaches is not that easy.
Even if you grab the 'node', you still have to keep it.
The current situation may not be something some people would like to see.
If you have confidence in yourself, letting others go in and bring out the ‘nodes’ will be a more controllable risk approach.
To put it bluntly, no one can understand what the Survey Corps is thinking. If you think more deeply, you will worry about whether there are any traps here. Since someone has gone in to check the mine, they simply continue to wait and see.
As a few minutes passed, the gunfire in the scientific research center became sparse, and only occasionally could one hear a burst of bullets being fired.
It's not like defensive soldiers opening fire, but more like someone picking up a weapon and attacking a competitor.
Bounded by an orange cordon, unlike the fierce fighting inside the scientific research center, there was an unusual calm outside the cordon.
It can be felt that there are people hiding in many surrounding tents, obviously waiting for the moment when the "node" is taken out of the scientific research center.
"The position of the 'node' has not changed yet." The man in the sweatshirt reminded.
Zhuo Yue squatted on the roof of the tent and kept relaying information: "I saw the Ten Blades team. At our ten o'clock direction, oh, one o'clock direction, the gray school uniforms also appeared.
There are the most Death Fighters lurking in the east side of the building. From what I can see now, there are twenty or thirty of them. Do they all think that the 'node' will come out from that direction? How about we stop waiting in front of the gate? "
Zheng~
Lu Bai drew out the Eight-sided Han Sword and said with a smile: "Relax, don't keep tensing up, I'll arrest someone from the Survey Corps and ask."
Judging from the movement, not only the defense forces in the scientific research center were killed, but also the gun battle on the other side was coming to an end.
More than 20 Death Fighters, deliberately and unintentionally attacking a small group of soldiers, will not have any suspense, and it is good to be able to delay it for so long.
"That's fine."
Anyway, the "node" did not move, and Xiao Xueyin did not stop Lu Bai from acting alone. He just pointed at the walkie-talkie in his hand and added: "Pay attention to safety and keep communication open at all times."
