Chapter 145 Riverside Dock Port, Survivor Force
Seeing the people behind him hiding behind abandoned vehicles, hiding their bodies, Lin Feng immediately activated his telepathy.
Sure enough, in the county ahead, a large number of Zerg with a health value of more than 50 appeared, including red beetles above level seven and hundreds of black spine worms.
However, what surprised Lin Feng was that there were not only Zerg in the small county, but also human survivors within two or three kilometers nearby, including dozens of enhanced people and a rare number of awakened people. who.
Are they puppet humans controlled by the Zerg parasitic mother body?
Unfortunately, telepathy can only detect the brightness represented by the health value, which is equivalent to the energy contained in the living body, and then feeds back a point of light. Unlike the appraisal skill, which will be introduced in detail.
A few second-level awakeners behind him followed Lin Feng’s gaze and looked at both sides of the cross-river bridge. One of them whispered:
“These two sides are the ports of the big river. There are There are many logistics warehousing and terminal companies that stack containers, and there are also shipbuilding companies on the left. "
"This area is very big, more than ten kilometers long."
"Maybe it can be used as one. Temporary camp.”
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"Then let's go there first and take a look. Maybe we can find some usable cargo ships."
With the end of the great escape, except for Abandoned cars without fuel and most of the means of transportation were taken away, especially extremely important vehicles like ships, there was basically no possibility of missing them.
Even if there is, it will definitely be out of gas.
The reason why Lin Feng said this was mainly to find the bright spots in telepathy, suspected human survivors.
If they are really surviving humans, they can learn more about the situation on the other side of the river through these "locals".
If not, they can be solved in advance to prevent everyone's whereabouts from being leaked and the Queen Mother knowing in advance.
The parasitic mother can directly contact the Zerg Mother Queen. We had already seen it last time in the center of Jiacheng City.
Now that there is no protection from the land cruiser, Lin Feng is fine. Even if he encounters dozens or hundreds of second-order Zerg, he can easily deal with it with the help of the Flying Tiger Armor and the electromagnetic gun.
But not the subordinates behind him.
Most of them are not even awakened ones.
Lin Feng did not want to experience the dangerous situation he encountered last time when he sneaked into downtown Jiacheng.
It is better to be cautious first to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the other team members nodded, but Shen Jie was a little surprised.
In his impression, Lin Feng seemed to have never been afraid. With genetic assimilation, he could also vaguely sense the situation in the county through chemical pheromones in the air.
There was no breath of second-order worms coming from the front, and there were not even many first-order black spine worms, less than a thousand in number. The seven second-order awakened ones behind the two of them, armed with shotguns, could easily kill them.
There is no need for Lin Feng to take action against himself.
But now the Master Chief unexpectedly chose to move forward, leaving Shen Jie a little confused.
When the group sneaked off the bridge, Lin Feng saw Shen Jie who was deep in thought. He turned around and explained:
“Without the help of the fleet, once the team is surrounded by layers of insects, they can There is no way to evacuate easily like Jiacheng last time. Although we can leave, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
"And there are a large number of insect swarms nesting on the other side of the river, just across the river. Why haven't they expanded to Changcheng City on the other side after so long?"
"This is a bit too abnormal. ."
Shen Jie nodded, and soon he noticed something, raised his finger and pointed into the distance:
"There are traces of human activities here, fresh, just in the past few days. "
Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw some leftover snack packages discarded outside the port fence.
There are also several footprints on the ground that have climbed over the wall, leading to the container group in the distance.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the people behind him:
"Everyone, dress up and cheer up, don't let your guns go off."
Except for the second level awakening Except for that, the others were wearing red armor sent by the research institute. The item level was probably above lv7, which could withstand the attack of red beetles.
Although it cannot withstand the bite of the giant jaws of the black spine worm, it is still extremely easy to defend against pistol and rifle bullets.
Lin Feng was mainly worried about them. He was nervous because he was going out for the first time, so he hurriedly killed the survivors by mistake.
After hearing the order, Shen Jie immediately stepped forward and easily cut through the chopstick-thick steel wire isolation barrier with his arm blade, and everyone entered the dock company one after another.
Below the gantry crane in the distance, there are hundreds of uniform containers piled up, but the colors are different.
There are several trucks parked nearby, waiting for the gantry crane to place the goods behind them.
Farther inside the terminal is the storage warehouse for cargo logistics, a temporary storage location used for turnover.
Lin Feng fixed his gaze on a pile of black objects not far away, which was a coal mine.
Power plants, steel mills, and chemical plants everywhere need its combustion to provide kinetic energy.
As for low-value items like coal, they generally only take the railway freight route, or large-volume and cheap shipping.
There are thousands of tons of coal piled up in the hill. Lin Feng naturally does not care about this. The real purpose of his concern is the metallurgical industry, which is closely related to the coal industry.
Coal and steel are basically transported together, not to mention the shipyard next door, both of which are raw materials for production.
The federal steel production is not low, but the demand side has decreased in recent years, and due to environmental protection requirements, production capacity is no longer expanded as much as it once was.
But many industries don’t just stop.
Part of the output that cannot be digested domestically will be sold abroad through shipping, and all of them are finished refined steel and special steel.
In addition to these, other goods in the container are also valuable to search and rummage.
If we are lucky and can deliver tons of large quantities of food, it will be much smoother to receive and manage the more than 100,000 survivors in Jincheng in the future.
The conspicuous granaries in various places have been basically transported away and emptied. The docks that no one pays attention to may be the gold mining holy land in the current apocalypse.
When everyone followed Lin Feng's footsteps, they entered the interior of the container group, passed through thousands of containers, and finally saw a human figure in a logistics management building.
Without Lin Feng using telepathy to lock in advance, it would have taken a lot of effort to find this building with survivors on this huge pier.
In order not to cause panic, Lin Feng only called a few second-level awakeners to go with him. The rest of the large force was led by Shen Jie and hid in the back to wait and see what happened.
As several people walked out brazenly, the survivors who were patrolling in the management building immediately discovered the outsiders and quickly informed the other members.
When Lin Feng and others approached the gate, they saw several survivors leaning behind the gate holding pistols and shotguns. They asked nervously and loudly:
"Are you also the defender of Wucheng's defeated defense line?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly and retorted:
"Wucheng's defense line has not been breached, so how can we say it was defeated? We are here to check the situation of the Zerg invasion in Jiangbei."
“Are you the survivors here? Or the remaining troops of the Federation that have collapsed and are hiding?”
Everyone behind the door looked at each other and caught a glimpse of Lin Feng and the others. They were all covered in battle armor and did not look like ordinary soldiers. Finally, a middle-aged man in a blue uniform slowly walked out, holding a shotgun and said:
"We escaped from the north. After the Zerg there expanded to the riverside county, they stopped taking action and did not cross the river and enter Changcheng on the other side."
"So we are here This set up a temporary camp, collected dock supplies, and occasionally hunted insect swarms to build up strength."
Lin Feng nodded. The other party was wearing the uniform of a peace officer and was also a first-level awakener.
After passing the identification, it was shown that he was just an ordinary human being.
So Lin Feng put down his guard and asked:
"Why do you say that we are the defeated army of Wucheng? Have you ever encountered people from the other side?"
Carefully observe the whole bodies of Lin Feng and others. The middle-aged man knew that he was unable to withstand the fine armor and the terrifying weapons in his hands. Fortunately, he put down his weapons and introduced with a sigh:
"My name is Chen Hai. I am originally from the security brigade of Taicheng. Captain of the armed forces, he has been retired for many years."
"Are you here to see those patrols from yesterday? But some of them are already dead..."
"But this is the consequence of their own doing..."
Hearing the key word "yesterday", Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. He thought of something and interrupted Chen Hai's explanation:
"The Thirteenth Division stationed at Wucheng's defense line has withdrawn. I have taken over the remaining troops and the task of resisting the Zerg invasion..."
"Those new recruits who do not want to stay, I let them leave on their own. Yesterday at noon. "So what you encountered was not a soldier in my hands. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Chen Hai breathed a sigh of relief and became energetic:
"That's good, that's good..."
Lin Feng raised his head and looked to the side. Container Group:
“I need to collect some supplies, food and steel. In exchange, I can send you away from here to the safe rear area of Jincheng, or you can voluntarily join the team and take care of food, shelter, and killing. The insect awakens."
Chen Hai swallowed, hearing Lin Feng's casual tone and offering generous terms. With the other party's absolute strength, this was not necessary at all.
Then he asked in a low voice:
"Excuse me, your awakening strength?"
Lin Feng turned around and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"I, the second-level awakener , and all of them."
Chen Hai suddenly took a breath. No wonder when he walked out just now, he couldn't feel any breath from these people.
The other party cannot be just an enhanced person. If it is a first-level awakened person, there is not such a big gap between the same level.
Hearing Lin Feng’s answer, Chen Hai no longer hesitated:
“I hope you can send the survivors here, especially women and children, to a safe area. As for us, I want to I will join the fight with you."
Lin Feng nodded and asked:
"Is there a property management list before the end of the world?"
At this time, the second-level team member on the side stepped forward, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Chen Hai, and then waved behind him.
Shen Jie got the signal and showed up with a large force.
Seeing hundreds of fully armed soldiers appear, Chen Hai's hands and feet gradually became numb, and the cigarette held between his fingers almost fell to the ground.
I was sweating profusely and was frightened for a while.
Obviously if I just refused to cooperate,
What greeted him was not cigarette butts.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hai quickly replied:
"Yes, yes! It's in the office on the second floor. I'll pick it up for you."
Follow Chen At the pace of the sea, everyone entered the building.
In the open space on one side, a dozen young men in military uniforms were tied up hand and foot and abandoned on the ground.
Their bodies and faces were all stained, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were unconscious.
But you can still vaguely see a few impressive faces.
Lin Feng remembered that when they were demobilized yesterday, apart from taking away the rifles, they were not allowed to take off the red armor they were issued.
Wearing red armor that can withstand bullets, they are still being dealt with by the survivor forces outside. It seems that the combat effectiveness of these new recruits is really low.
At this moment, many of them heard the noise and had woken up. When they saw their former companions in the soldier company, they started calling for help.
At this time, Chen Hai walked over quickly, handed over the list, and explained angrily:
“These guys broke into the camp while we were out killing insects yesterday, and at first they pretended to be ex-pats. When the federal troops who came to the rescue discovered that there were no awakened people in the camp, they exposed their true nature, humiliated women, and threatened to establish a new rule here..."
"Fortunately, we came back early and killed them on the spot. After killing a few desperate people, the situation was brought under control."
Lin Feng nodded expressionlessly.
The eyes of the team members behind him, which were full of sympathy from the beginning, turned cold.
Looking at the complicated numbers, Lin Feng pinched his brows and said:
"Are there any terminal staff among you? You have to find the corresponding containers for these lists."
Chen Hai shook his head :
“At the beginning, all the staff at the dock followed the cargo ship or drove away by themselves, but in the past half month, after exploring, we have roughly figured it out.”
“There is not much food here. There are only a dozen boxes, three of which are imported snacks, the other few are of soybeans, and some fruits are rotten.”
"As for steel and other things, there is a specially connected freight railway at the wharf in the west, all of which are managed by another state-owned unit."
Lin Feng nodded, and when he saw that the time was approaching noon, he turned back He ordered:
"Everyone take a break and have some lunch. We will have another big fight in the afternoon."
Shen Jie nodded and took everyone to rest where they were.
Chen Hai called several women who hid on the second floor, including eight or nine-year-old children:
"Normally, men are responsible for patrolling and going out to kill bugs, while women take care of the logistics. They have already identified the material numbers on the list and the corresponding container locations."
Lin Feng shrugged and put the list He handed it to the woman and asked:
"How many members do you have? Are there any ships nearby?"
Chen Hai hesitated for a moment:
"There are eighty in total. Six people, including forty men, and the rest are women and children, most of them are family units, and they can only stay here because they have no fuel.”
"There were several ships, but the oil inside was taken away. We searched the docks and still collected hundreds of kilograms of diesel, but no one knew how to drive a cargo ship."
"So we planned to wait until the Zerg were ready to cross. Jiang, risk escaping when the attack comes. Now there is food and drink here, and you can kill insects and become stronger and awaken..."
"So I didn't think about leaving for the time being."
"Originally yesterday. After that incident, he also had plans to escape..."
Lin Feng shook his head and found that Chen Hai was a bit nagging, so he asked directly to the women:
"Have any of you been to the one next door? I need a guide who knows where the steel bars and steel frames are stacked."
One of the little girls with a dirty face mustered up the courage to stand up:
“I know, I have been there secretly before!”
Lin Feng showed a smile. The area of the port in the west is several times that of this one, and it is more than ten kilometers long. I really want to find it. It takes a lot of effort to get up.
The little girl in front of me exudes aura. She is the owner of the footprints outside the wire fence.
"Where are your parents? Let them come together."
Lin Feng asked lightly, but the little girl lowered her head and looked at the dark toes of her shoes without saying a word.
Chen Hai quickly explained:
"Chengcheng and her parents were lost when they fled. We accidentally found her at the county security bureau when we went out to search for supplies. "
Lin Feng sighed:
"What's your name?"
The little girl whispered back:
"Jiang Chengcheng, eight years old, third grade of elementary school."
Lin Feng nodded and comforted :
"Your parents must still be alive. Maybe they have arrived in Jincheng with the large army. Then I will look for you with Uncle Chen."
"Now take us to find the steel, okay?"
Jiang Chengcheng wiped his eyes and nodded heavily.
Lin Feng immediately called over a dozen team members.
Go together.
After finding the steel, it was natural to use local materials to copy a batch of shotguns for backup.
As for the rest, after marking them, the fleet will come to pick them up in the evening, and they will assemble a batch of replicas of the tanks and take all the survivors back together.
Lin Feng touched the girl’s head and said calmly:
“Then let’s set off!”
But a reminder suddenly flashed before his eyes:
"Jiang Chengcheng, lv7/9"
"HP 35, Constitution 38, Spirit 45"
"Super Awakening: Danger Sense"
