Qingtang Town was originally a small town with a population of close to 100,000. During the catastrophe, many people died, but even more people were transformed into zombies, at least 60,000.
A year ago, the catastrophe began to abate, and the Star Shield Shelter also began to clear the surrounding area of zombies.
The straight-line distance between Qingtang Town and Star Shield Shelter is a full 50 kilometers. With such a long distance, the priority of eliminating zombies is relatively low.
The army was not even dispatched, but was settled in the mercenary guild in the form of issuing tasks.
So after a whole year, the number of zombies in Qingtang Town has only dropped from 60,000 to 30,000.
The main reason for this is that the mission rewards are not very high, so even ordinary first-level mercenary groups, let alone those second- and third-level mercenary groups, are rarely willing to come.
On the other hand, a powerful hunting team like the Alliance of Superpowers would like to come because there are enough zombies here, but they are not as dense as a city. As long as they do not go deep into the center of the town, the danger is controllable.
As soon as Lin Xinghai and others approached Qingtang Town, they heard the faint sound of gunfire. It was obvious that besides them, there were other hunting teams who also came here to hunt zombies.
"Brother Lin, which direction do you think is better for us to hunt zombies from?" Ling Xiu asked Huang Nuo to park the car at the entrance of the town and asked.
"What's the point of this?" Lin Xinghai always humbly asked for advice on things he didn't understand.
Ling Xiu called up the floor plan of Qingtang Town from the car navigation system, pointed at it and introduced: "Generally speaking, hunting teams like ours prefer to enter from the east or south."
"To the east, that is, at the intersection in front of us, there are usually more hunting teams coming, so the zombies in this direction are relatively rare, and the safety factor is relatively high."
"As for the zombies in the south, there will be more zombies, but the road conditions in that direction are the best, and it is convenient whether you want to go deep or evacuate."
After hearing this, Lin Xinghai made a decision without any hesitation, "Then choose the south."
The main purpose of his coming here is to hunt zombies.
Ling Xiu and the others also had smiles on their faces after hearing this. With the great god Lin Xinghai sitting in charge, of course they were also leaning towards the south.
After Lin Xinghai made his decision, Huang Nuo turned the steering wheel and drove directly onto a field road, then headed south along the outskirts of the town.
While the vehicle was moving forward, Lin Xinghai was also observing the situation in Qingtang Town. He found that there were not many collapsed buildings in this town, not even half.
Moreover, the buildings here are generally two or three stories, so even if they collapse, the road will not be completely blocked.
This kind of road conditions is indeed much better than in the city.
A clear road is almost equal to a clear lifeline for these hunting teams, because only on clear roads can multi-functional off-road vehicles run at critical moments.
Even on such a field road, the multifunctional off-road vehicle could run at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. In a short time, it reached the south of the town.
At this time, Ling Xiu opened his mouth several times, as if he had something to say, but in the end he held it back.
This made Lin Xinghai quite speechless. What kind of bad thing is this?
I tried it once before when I was in the mercenary guild.
So Lin Xinghai just pretended not to see it this time.
If the other party really has something to say, he will definitely tell it in the end. If he doesn't say it, it won't be a big deal.
Ling Xiu held it in for a while and finally spoke, "Brother Lin, um... we found a good place in Qingtang Town, but with the strength of our team, we couldn't get in there before."
"Where?" Lin Xinghai asked directly.
Now that he chose to speak, Ling Xiu no longer hesitated and said directly: "A winery."
Lin Xinghai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If Lin Xinghai had heard this answer before going to the bar, he might not have felt anything.
But now that I know the value of wine, I understand that it is definitely a hot commodity.
"Where is that winery located in the town? And since you haven't been there, how are you sure there is still wine in it?" Lin Xinghai asked the two most critical questions.
Ling Xiu first clicked on the car navigation map, pointed out the location of the winery, and then said: "Although our team has never been to this winery, I can see with clairvoyance that the roads nearby have not been cleared.
There are no traces of bullet holes in the walls or the ground. It is estimated that the other hunting teams have not been able to penetrate there yet."
"However, half of this winery has collapsed. I can't guarantee whether there is still wine in it, but I think there is still a high possibility that there is wine."
If it were something else, no one would take the risk without even knowing whether it existed.
However, when this thing is replaced by expensive things like wine or energy crystals, it will be different.
As long as the benefits are large enough, there will be many people who take desperate risks, let alone a group of mercenaries who take risks, which is perfectly normal.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xinghai said: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
Although Lin Xinghai didn't explicitly say he wanted to go, Ling Xiu and others still couldn't help showing joy on their faces.
As long as there was no clear rejection, he knew that Lin Xinghai must have an idea.
As for a mercenary, it is also essential to check the situation carefully before doing anything. A truly reckless mercenary will be dead long ago.
While the two were talking, the multifunctional off-road vehicle had already entered the town.
Not far away, groups of zombies were wandering aimlessly among dilapidated houses and ruins.
Lin Xinghai observed for a while and found that the zombies in the town were indeed different from the zombies in the city.
The zombies in the town are even more scattered.
Many times, there are only more than a dozen zombies in one place, and there are only thirty or forty zombies in a place. In a scary spot, there are seventy or eighty zombies surrounding one place, which is the limit.
Compared with the hundreds of zombies in urban areas at every turn, the scale of zombies here is really quite friendly to these hunting teams.
Everyone was also checking their equipment and making final preparations.
"Brother Lin, you can arrange how to fight the zombies next!" Ling Xiu said.
Although he was the nominal captain, he knew very well what his position was, and he gave up command decisively at this time.
Lin Xinghai nodded and asked, "How did you fight zombies before?"
"We used defensive tactics before. Captain Gao Shan's special ability can build a defensive position with earth walls at any time. We relied on this defensive position to attract zombies with gunshots, and then killed them one by one," Ling Xiu said.
.
This kind of defensive tactic is actually used by many hunting teams. Of course, not every team has a captain who can use the earth wall ability, so those teams generally need to find suitable buildings as defense points.
Although this is a bit troublesome, the safety factor is quite high. As long as you choose a place with relatively few zombies to build a position, under normal circumstances, there will be no major problems.
Of course, if something really goes wrong, you generally can't run away.
Lin Xinghai listened, nodded first, and then said: "I feel that our tactics can be changed now."
"Of course, I don't know how you want to change it, Brother Lin?" Ling Xiu asked respectfully.
The others also pricked up their ears.
Lin Xinghai: "It's very simple. I am responsible for killing the zombies, and you are responsible for collecting the Yuan Jing."
