Doomsday Run (18): Running away
Suddenly, the city gate became even more chaotic. The drivers who were controlled by hypnosis drove away. The teammates who should have stayed in the car but got out of the car for a walk because they were bored were slow to react. They could only stare at the cars going away in amazement, and then ran away shouting to catch up with them.
The captain of the guards at the city gate frowned at the chaotic scene, but the order he received was to strictly check those who came out of the city, and since those people did not leave the city, he would not care.
Cheng Huaiqian didn’t care anymore and just rushed forward to occupy the vacant space in front. The couple worked together and soon their truck was the first one in line waiting for inspection.
The captain of the guards led his men to the door of the driver’s cab and knocked on it, signaling Cheng Huaiqian to get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection.
The co-pilot, Xia Ruize, leaned over and lay on top of his lover, sticking his head out of the window, looking down at the guards outside the window and smiling, saying in a gentle tone:
“We only have one car, what can go wrong? Please open the door and let us out.”
“Open the door quickly… let them out…”
The captain of the guards repeated Xia Ruize’s words in a daze, and his men went to move the obstacles blocking the road in a daze.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the city in the distance. Gao Hexuan, who was standing on the top of the carriage, saw a group of people in uniform running towards the city gate in a hurry. He could vaguely hear them shouting “Close the city gate” and “Total blockade”. He quickly reminded his two teammates in his mind.
“Tsk.”
Xia Rui looked at the guard in front of him who was moving slowly and made a sound of disdain. He waved his hand on the car window casually, and the obstacle in front of the car that had not yet been moved was instantly pushed to both sides by the invisible big hand. The guard who was hesitating was also pulled to the side of the road by an inexplicable force.
Before they could be confused, they saw the truck next to them start up and rush out instantly. In the blink of an eye, they could only see the back of the truck spitting exhaust and getting smaller and smaller.
The captain of the guards had a dazed look on his face for a moment, as if the smoothly playing picture suddenly froze for a moment, and then continued to play smoothly.
The reinforcement team finally rushed to the vicinity of the city gate and saw the captain of the guards skillfully directing his men to put the obstacles in place again, and then preparing to check the next vehicle.
“Oh my, Old Li, why did you let the car go?” The reinforcement team was led by a man who was familiar with the captain of the guards. He looked at the black dot that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance and couldn’t help complaining, “I was shouting at you to block the city gate!”
“Ah? Wasn’t the previous order to check it carefully?” The captain of the guards asked back, feeling a little depressed. He didn’t receive any new orders, so of course he released the car after checking that there was no problem.
“A new order has been issued. Level 1 alert. Completely block the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave!”
The reinforcement team leader conveyed the new official order from the base in a serious tone, and did not dwell on what had already happened. He selfishly thought that letting a car go would not have much impact.
The guards who were busy sealing off the city gates and dispersing the teams at the city gates had no idea that the last car they let go was the culprit that caused the city-wide alert and was also the target of the sealing off of the city gates.
Three hours later, all the big and small forces in the Guangming Base finally understood what had happened to make the base officials so nervous. The top hunting teams, Fang hunting team and Fox hunting team, were wiped out in just one day!
The first reaction of all who heard the news was disbelief, but the spies sent out personally repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the news. Without attracting the attention of outsiders, the base camps of the two major forces, Fox and Fang, were completely swept away, the camps were in a mess, and all the team members fell unconscious and no one had woken up to this day.
After forcibly suppressing the ridiculous feeling of hearing such a joke, everyone felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, which made their scalps numb. Who was the mastermind behind this? How many people were sent to achieve such a shocking result? Could they also be targeted?
The various forces that originally thought that the base officials’ blocking of the city gates was too hasty and overbearing no longer dared to think so. They all hoped that the base officials would get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible, catch the murderers, and severely punish tehm!
The various forces that had been unable to eat or sleep well due to the important news finally received the first-hand news late at night, because the unconscious members of the two major forces that were annihilated woke up one after another, but the truth that was extracted from their mouths made everyone even more sleepless.
The masterminds who caused the two major forces to suffer such a huge setback turned out to be only three people. The origin of the matter was even more ridiculous. It turned out that the Fox and the Fang family first targeted the wealthy people and wanted to eat up their bones and skins, but they ended up biting off a hard iron block, and the three of them robbed the camp clean? !
Was this some kind of joke???
Soon after, the latest news that the Terror Trio had left the Guangmíng Base also came. After all, not all the people guarding the base gate in the afternoon were hypnotized. The personal images of Xia Ruize and the other two were too distinct. There were not many people who could be so clean and refreshing in the end times. Those who noticed them were more or less impressed.
Everyone put together the information they had heard and seen, and finally understood the whole story. To put it simply, three big guys came to the Guangming Base to purchase life bottles, and after being angered by the irregular and noisy operations of the Fox and Fang teams, they decided to wipe out the two forces at once, and successfully escaped with countless wealth and a car full of researchers before the base was completely blocked.
Wow, what a wonderful show!
The other forces, realizing that their own crises had been averted, all started to watch the excitement, and privately they laughed at the Fox and the Fang teams for trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.
Especially after the Fang hunting team learned that the reason why the Terror Trio targeted them and accurately found their hidden researchers was all because of the secrets told by the Fox team, the furious Fang hunting team regarded the Fox team as their number one enemy, and the two forces fought fiercely.
The interesting thing is that the reason why Fang team knew this, was actually because it was exposed by an outside boss. When they went to Fang’s store to buy a life bottle, the outside boss casually mentioned that they came here because of the recommendation of the Fox team. At that time, the Fox team should have been wiped out. In this way, it is clear who recommended Fang’s store to the boss.
How could the Fang hunting team not feel hatred when they knew that their own forces were completely dragged down by the evil fox team and suffered heavy losses from the unexpected disaster?
Because of this, the Guangming Base went through a period of chaos.
Would Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian feel guilty about this?
Of course not. They only regretted that they couldn’t be there to watch the fun in person. The Fox and Fang teams were very skilled at sending people to ambush them. Who knew how many people had fallen for their tricks?
It was merciful enough to just give them a little lesson.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian drove a truck at high speed to take a group of researchers to the gate of the research base in the mountains, pushed them out of the car, and drove away without looking back.
The researchers, whose bones were about to be scattered by the speeding car, didn’t even have time to say “thank you” before they swallowed a mouthful of dirt and watched the truck disappear from their sight at a high speed.
Xia Ruize and the other two had no choice but to be anxious, as they had to hurry to hunt down the zombies. There were only five days left for the mission, and they had hundreds of empty life bottles, and they would not be satisfied unless they filled them up.
The research base discovered a group of people in front of the gate and quickly welcomed them into the base. Some of the researchers knew each other before the apocalypse. After a tearful recognition, the research base arranged food and rooms for the new researchers.
The researchers led by Mu Ruihe felt deeply about the tragic experiences of their colleagues in the past two years. At the same time, they also noticed the three people who rescued them. Considering the news reported by the fleet after the search mission was completed, the research base basically confirmed the identities of the three people.
What was still uncertain was how strong they were and whether anything happened between them and the mutant at the Hall Research Base.
The research base was very interested in the three people and wanted to find them.
The two major forces in the Guangming Base were badly cheated and wanted to find them.
Even the future base that sent out the three people in the background setting was trying to find them.
So what were Xia Ruize and the other two doing who were being targeted by various forces?
They were taking over abandoned cities.
After dropping the researchers off, the three of them immediately rushed to the target that Gao Hexuan had already set his sights on, an abandoned city full of zombies.
This large pre-apocalyptic city no longer had any trace of human beings, and had been completely occupied by zombies. The humans in the nearby survivor base avoided this area when they were on missions.
But such an abandoned city was a good target for Xia Ruize and his two companions. Without enough prey, they were worried that the efficiency of collecting life energy would be low.
After driving the truck straight into the city, three people wearing protective armor jumped out of the car and divided into three groups, killing their way towards the center of the city.
The distance between the three was not very far, but it didn’t affect the others’ attack rhythm.
They were so strong that they no longer needed to support each other. Even the weakest Gao Hexuan could stand on his own. The three of them rushed into the group of zombies like tigers into a flock of sheep, wantonly displaying their ferocious strength.
Looking at the zombie that not only did not dodge but instead rushed towards him, Cheng Huaiqian shouted “Come on!”
Then he let go and attacked freely. Although most of the opponents were too weak, the number was also a kind of pressure and challenge. What’s more, there were occasionally alien species, high-level alien species and even super alien species that popped up to adjust the taste, so there was no need to worry about not having a good time in the battle.
But it must be said that when it came to group attacks, Xia Ruize was the most outstanding.
After his bloodline was upgraded and his mental strength was enhanced, Xia Ruize was able to control more than two digits of weapons at the same time. The weapons suspended around him fired simultaneously in all directions, destroying every enemy with precise coordination.
No matter how many monsters rushed over from all around, there was still a vacuum zone around Xia Ruize who was surrounded by weapons, and no monster could rush to the range of three meters around him.
Xia Ruize walked leisurely and unrestrainedly towards the city center step by step, as if he had turned into an eraser. As he walked along, it was like using an eraser to erase a clean and white area on a piece of paper covered with pencil marks.
Although there were eraser crumbs all over the floor, the life bottles he carried with him were filled one after another.
