Section 292 Attacking Liao Qiu
The highway leading to the launch site was blocked, and Liao Qiu could only take a detour from the suburbs along the way. He did not tell anyone about this. Liao Qiu was a little satisfied and his mood rose. He even fantasized about the scene of bringing back several large buckets of rocket fuel. He would definitely be welcomed by everyone, and all kinds of praise and praise belonged to me. From then on, everyone looked at me differently, and would not even call me "Xiaoqiu" again, but call me "Brother Liao".
Liao Qiu was not confused. He knew that he was very strong and immune to the virus. It was precisely because of this kind of reliance that Liao Qiu drove away from the team alone.
After leaving the city, the road leading to the launch site became much smoother. According to the road signs, Liao Qiu drove to his destination.
There is a place divided into a tourist area and a military restricted area. Now, there is no difference between the two. The heavy car tires ran over the collapsed barbed wire, squeezed the "No entry" metal sign and made a terrifying sound, and the off-road vehicle slowly drove towards the towering launcher in the distance.
It was the most eye-catching existence in the entire area. It happened to be the time when the virus broke out. A huge launch vehicle was standing on the launch frame. The white body had a striking red flag pattern. From a distance, it seemed to be facing straight towards the sky, ready to pierce the sky at any time.
This is a large square. Vehicles of various types are everywhere, and several military cards covered with tarpaulins are particularly eye-catching. A dozen corpses are surrounded by them. There are as many as hundreds of corpses scattered near them. The deceased was ripped open, and their muscles were almost gnawed, leaving only cold bones.
Liao Qiu stopped the off-road vehicle, turned off the engine, pulled out the key, and jumped out of the cab. He carried the assault rifle and held a fighting knife in his right hand. The corpse heard the sound and smelled the living people, and gathered towards this side. Liao Qiu calmly killed the nearest mutant creature, accelerated and ran towards the nearby building.
There should be a command center or tower there, all of which were built according to military standards. Especially on the first floor of the wall, there were huge white numbers left, which looked very eye-catching.
As soon as he walked past the wall painted with the number "7", Liao Qiu heard a "clang" sound coming from the open door.
It is very clear and very close. It seems to be a warehouse there, but the sight is blocked by the wooden box placed inside and there is nothing to see.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you..."
It was a woman screaming.
Before she could think too much, Liao Qiu turned around and rushed into the warehouse.
The huge boxes were placed side by side, with a width of about twenty centimeters in the middle. Six zombies were squeezed outside two rows of wooden boxes, and only the front could barely get in. It was a tall and burly man in a tattered military uniform. After its resurrection, its face turned black, its skin was tight, and its eyes were flashing with a red light of hunger. It opened its mouth, turned its body, and its right hand stretched forward with the greatest effort it could achieve. It seemed that the other side could be saved.
The narrow corridor piled up by boxes was more than ten meters deep. The crowded corpses outside blocked their sight, and Liao Qiu could only see a white figure shaking inside. He hugged the assault rifle tightly, aimed at the head of the zombie with his back to pull the trigger. The bullets accurately penetrated into the head of the zombie. These ferocious monsters fell to the ground, struggling desperately, but could no longer stand up.
The space in the passage was very narrow, but it was very suitable for people like Liao Qiu to enter and exit. He killed all the zombies squeezed outside, pulled out the fighting knife, and crawled in sideways. When the zombie could not turn around, he inserted the tip of the knife into the back of the other party's head and pushed everything down. Suddenly, the tall resurrected soldier stared at him and threw himself forward with blood spurted out from the wound on the back of his head.
The woman was wearing a white uniform, her face was a little loose, and she could see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. Her face was full of fear. Although she was rescued, her body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Thank you...who are you?" She did not lose the necessary vigilance.
When Liao Qiu saw that the woman's clothes on her side were stained with blood, she couldn't help but open her mouth and said, "Why, are you injured? Or have you been bitten by them?"
The woman understood what Liao Qiu meant in her eyes. She shook her head, raised her arm with great difficulty, and pointed to the huge wooden box above her head. Her voice sounded like a moaning: "I accidentally fell down from above...I was not bitten, it just hurts."
Liao Qiu took a lot of effort to help the woman out of the passage. She was seriously injured. She would feel pain and tremble all over her body when she pressed her abdomen with a little force, and her moans also intensified.
...
Zhang Mei felt that she was just as her name was, and she was in trouble.
The virus is probably the fairest killer in the world and will not be treated differently due to factors such as personal identity, status, property, etc. Although the sanitary launch site is a national-level confidential area for military control, the virus is still spreading unscrupulously here, infecting almost everyone.
Zhang Mei is a technical supervisor and has a very high status in the base. When the virus crisis broke out, she happened to have a launch mission, and the alert level at the launch site was much higher than usual. With the help and cover of others, Zhang Mei hid in the main control room and lived until now.
The base has two independent power supply systems, solar energy and geothermal power supply systems. Zhang Mei tried to ask for help from the outside world, but did not receive a signal, and the satellite inexplicably lost control.
There is a passage in the underground part of the main control room connecting several other ground buildings on the base. There is a lot of clean water and various living materials. In addition to daily drinking, you can even take a bath. If Zhang Mei stays in this place honestly, the huge amount of reserves is enough for her to live carefree for hundreds of years.
Life alone is very lonely, and Zhang Mei doesn't know what happened outside. She sent a signal to all known bases and never received a reply. As a last resort, Zhang Mei decided to rely on her own strength to go out and look for other survivors at the same time.
Everyone in the satellite launch site, including Zhang Mei, had received military training. She brought her own gun, took out a spare magazine from the drawer, opened the protective gate of the main control room, and walked out.
Because there was no surveillance, Zhang Mei could not see the corner of the passage. She encountered a large group of corpses there, with a number of thousands. In the chaos, Zhang Mei accidentally opened the passage connecting to the food warehouse. When she wanted to close the gate, a tide of zombies surged over. There was no way, Zhang Mei had to fight and retreat and return to the main control room.
Things got worse than before.
The food warehouse became a world of zombies. Without ensuring safety, Zhang Mei could only rely on the small amount of food in the control room to survive. Half a month ago, there was not much food reserve left. Zhang Mei wanted to go out and try her luck. She was extremely frightened to discover that the mutant creatures were not slow to move, they were quick to move, and even learned to run. As soon as she opened the floodgates, more than a dozen ragged monsters immediately rushed over from the opposite passage. If she hadn't had her quick eyes and quick hands and fired and retreated, she would have been gnawed into a pile of bones by the zombies swarming up.
He was the only one left in the satellite launch site.
Zhang Mei knew this very well.
The main control room is an enclosed space. Although the power system is still running, it is blocked by the corpse. Here, Zhang Mei faces four tall and thick cement walls all day long. In front of her are office desks and chairs that are so familiar that they can tell every detail, computers covered with dust, keyboards that are crooked and distorted, and various communication equipment that have long lost their function.
This is almost an oversized cell with an area of hundreds of square meters. If there is no accident, the automated water purification system will probably continue to operate. Every time you unscrew the faucet and look at the transparent liquid flowing "wavering", Zhang Mei always feels indescribable irritability and a heavy feeling of loss.
She is not afraid of death. From a very early age, Zhang Mei has made up her mind to contribute to the aerospace industry. She is not pretty, but a woman who is still not married in her forties, both her family and her friends will feel worried. Faced with the persuasion of kind-hearted people, Zhang Mei always smiles. Of course, she also wants to have a normal life, but the reality lies there——For career and goals, she always has to give up something.
There was no window in the main control room, so Zhang Mei could not observe the situation outside. She could only listen silently to the movements coming from outside through the thick protective gate.
The food was out of stock two days ago. Noisy and chaotic footsteps were heard outside. Zhang Mei endured her hunger and waited patiently until all the movements disappeared before carefully opening the steel gate and walked out of the main control room.
Food must be found. Otherwise, staying here will be dead.
The road to the food warehouse was still occupied by corpses. As a last resort, Zhang Mei had no choice but to have the idea of the freight warehouse. She was the senior manager of the base and knew that there was a batch of flour and cooking oil in the No. 7 warehouse. It was a coincidence that Zhang Mei never asked about material matters. She just happened to see a freight list in the logistics office before the virus broke out. When humans were hungry, they always tried hard to dig out all the information about food in their minds. Zhang Mei was no exception.
The No. 7 cargo warehouse was connected to the outside of the launch site. When Zhang Mei ran to the cargo warehouse, she was slightly stunned. She saw the piles of cargo boxes, and through the open roller shutter door, she saw the empty and uninhabited square outside. At that time, Zhang Mei knew that she had to make a choice.
There are no living zombies around, and this is probably the best time to escape in months.
However, the feeling of hunger from the body is so strong. It has been two days since Zhang Mei has eaten nothing except water. Her stomach is sour and no matter what kind of thoughts arise in her mind, it will always be suppressed by a stronger appetite. Even if she knows that she should escape, Zhang Mei still has steamed buns, buns, dumplings and other things full of infinite temptations shaking in front of her.
