Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 177: Interspersed and detours
At around nine o'clock in the evening, a crescent moon rose in the sky, and seven vehicles of various sizes returned to Baifeng Town and drove straight into the military camp next to the station.

All the cars that escaped back first were parked in the yard, crookedly and in no order. Ou Yang felt uncomfortable watching this and wanted to jump over and park the cars in order.

Everyone jumped out of the car and walked towards the warehouse exhausted.

I can't leave for now, so I have to think carefully about what to do next.

Before entering the warehouse, the person in front stopped without warning. Ou Yang was slightly startled and suddenly smelled a pungent smell of blood.

The American soldiers immediately went on alert, and the three-person team led by Ou Yang was also prepared to deal with the unexpected, but their companion Lao Mi was at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Jedi quickly made a few gestures, and the American soldiers following him immediately raised their rifles, split into two groups, approached the warehouse door, and then suddenly rushed in.

"Clear!"

After receiving a safety signal from the front, Ou Yang first ejected the bullet from the gun chamber before lowering the gun and entering the warehouse.

As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by a strong smell of blood. There are corpses with their eyes open everywhere on the ground, boxes, tables and chairs.

Among them were those who stayed behind and Lao Mi who had escaped early. All the wounded who remained in the town were also killed.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was either stunned or silent.

"What on earth happened?" the bearded man asked blankly.

No one answered him, and no one knew how to answer.

"Where are the others?" Ou Yang asked.

He roughly counted and found that there were more than fifty bodies in the warehouse, plus the dozen or so people who had just returned, there were more than seventy people in total, and another ten people were not at the scene.

Was he killed outside the warehouse?
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the corner, like the sound of a tin can falling.

Jedi immediately signaled everyone to be quiet and gestured in the direction where the sound came from.

Several American soldiers raised their guns and approached cautiously: "Come out, or we will shoot!"

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" A panicked voice came from the corner. It was a woman.

Everyone felt relieved, but the American soldiers didn't dare to relax. They stopped and kept a safe distance. "Put your hands where I can see them and walk out slowly."

"I'm coming out right away, don't shoot, don't shoot!" Two hands first stretched out from behind the cardboard box in the corner, and then a trembling figure slowly walked out.

He was of average height, thin and dirty, with hair as messy as a chicken coop.

There were very few women among the survivors, and Ou Yang recognized at a glance that this was an immune person who chose to stay in Baifeng Town.

The only female among the American soldiers walked up, searched from head to toe, turned around and nodded: "No weapons!"

"Samantha?" Jedi called out the woman's name accurately.

Samantha also saw Jedi clearly, and her emotions, which were already at a critical point, collapsed immediately, tears streaming down her face: "Oh my God, you are back, so great..."

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Jedi kept comforting her, and waited until Samantha calmed down before asking, "What happened?"

Samantha barely stopped crying and spoke incoherently.

After Jedi and others left, the people who stayed behind began to discuss how to divide the supplies. Some people advocated dividing it equally per person, some hoped to distribute it according to needs, and some felt that there was no need to divide it, and everyone should stick together to keep warm and overcome difficulties together.

At first, everyone was able to discuss the matter calmly, but the differences grew larger and larger, first there were arguments, then quarrels, the tension became stronger and stronger, and in the end, no one knew who fired the first shot, and the discussion turned into a gunfight.

Those people did not stop after beating the opponents to death, and killed all the wounded.

Samantha was not in the warehouse at the time. She hid immediately after hearing the gunshot and thus escaped.

Before those people were carrying supplies out of the warehouse, she sneaked in and planned to take some supplies away, but she heard the sound of a vehicle engine. She thought those people had returned, so she hid in a corner until she was discovered.

Zhu Yiming's face was filled with confusion. "There are only a few of us. Even if the amount was increased tenfold, there would be enough supplies to go around. Why would it have to be like this?"

"Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Ou Yang sighed, "Why bother?"

Most of the supplies shipped from outside were sent to the epidemic area, but there were also quite a few left in the warehouse. Just at a glance, there were hundreds of boxes of Coke, canned fruit, canned meat, and various military rations.

Not hundreds of boxes in total, but hundreds of boxes of each type.

In addition, there are flour, sugar, butter, frozen beef, chicken, etc., and various food raw materials are piled up like mountains.

All of them are supplies reserved for the garrison, which shows how wealthy the US military is.

Samantha finished speaking, and tears began to fall again.

Jedi's face was as gloomy as water: "Who are they?"

"Rudy, Bobby, Herbert... and Cardin!"

Most of them are immune, and there are only three American soldiers.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine was heard outside the warehouse, and everyone turned their heads to look outside.

The roar died away, but there was no sound and no one came in.

Ou Yang secretly cried out: "Hide, hide quickly!"

Their cars were parked outside, and no matter who came, they could tell at a glance that those who had left had returned.

Jedi dodged and hid behind a pile of Coke: "Get ready for battle!"

Everyone fled, and the sound of gun bolts being pulled filled the air.

Ou Yang led the trio and hid in the deepest part of the warehouse.

He leaned against the cardboard box and observed from the side. There was silence outside the door.

There's no running away. Even if Samantha didn't tell the truth, it was almost certain. Otherwise, why wouldn't the other party come in?

Inside and outside the door, the two groups were neither making a sound nor showing up, as if they were competing to see who had more patience.

After a short stalemate, two dark creatures suddenly flew in from outside the door. One of them, Lao Mi, who was near the door, yelled in alarm: "Fire in the hole!"

boom--

The grenade exploded, shrapnel flew, and the lights above the explosion point went out.

Jedi roared: "Free fire, Free fire——"

After receiving the order, Lao Mi immediately opened fire outside the door without caring whether anyone rushed in or not.

The warehouse was relatively empty, but it could not withstand the simultaneous firing of several rifles. The gunshots made Ou Yang's ears buzz.

He didn't hold back and just set up his machine gun and started firing randomly. It didn't matter whether he could hit the target or not. The key was to keep the enemy out first.

After firing a long burst of shots, he immediately put away his gun and moved to another place, and on the way he also fired back two grenades outside.

It’s not clear whether anyone was hit by the explosion, but it was quite noisy.

The enemies hiding outside were also not ambiguous, firing into the warehouse one after another. The Coke box behind Jedi was hit by bullets continuously, and the Coke sprayed out from the pierced bottles, splashing everywhere. His ears were filled with fierce gunfire, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled his nose.

Ou Yang, who was hiding behind, saw clearly that an American soldier was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground with a groan; another soldier was shot in the chest and his life or death was unknown.

The two sides were shooting at each other through the door, and no one should have been able to see each other, but there was a light in the warehouse and it was pitch black outside the warehouse, which was simply one-sidedly transparent to the outside world!

If this continues, everyone in the warehouse will be in danger!
Ou Yang immediately handed the machine gun to Zhu Yiming and yelled into his ear, "Shoot outside, and save your bullets!"

Zhu Yiming yelled back: "Where are you going?"

Ou Yang grabbed his submachine gun and ran deeper into the warehouse: "Intersperse and detour!"

What the hell?
The gunshot was too loud and Zhu Yiming couldn't hear it clearly, but he knew it was definitely not desertion.

Half of the warehouse collapsed. Ou Yang remembered that there was a hole in the corner. He found the hole as quickly as possible and planned to crawl out through it.

But he did not rush out immediately. Instead, he fell sideways with a sliding motion, pointing the muzzle of the gun outside the hole.

There is more than one person who knows about this hole. What if the other party also wants to launch a sneak attack?

Ou Yang was just being cautious, but unexpectedly he saw a figure outside the cave bending down and trying to get in.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and there seemed to be sparks in the air.

The other party's eyes suddenly widened and he raised his hand to shoot.

Ou Yang pulled the trigger first, and the enemy was shot continuously, with three shots on the head alone. He fell down and died without a sound.

Just as the enemy fell to the ground, gunshots rang out outside the cave, and a string of bullets made irregular holes in the wall.

If Ou Yang was standing here instead of lying on the ground, he would have been hit by at least a few bullets in the chest and abdomen.

Without thinking, Ou Yang immediately fired diagonally upwards.

The submachine gun is not as powerful as a rifle, but its bullets are enough to penetrate the wall panels, and the enemy on the other side of the wall was shot and fell to the ground.

Ou Yang grabbed the dead enemy outside the cave and dragged him in. Seeing a man lying outside, he quickly fired a few more shots. After confirming that the man was dead, he replaced the old magazine with a new one and then crawled out of the hole.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Ou Yang jogged along the wall, went around to the front of the warehouse, and hid behind the corner to observe carefully.

Gunfire appeared frequently in the darkness, the farthest being forty or fifty meters away, and the closest only about twenty meters away!
Based on the location of the warehouse and the direction of the shooting, Ou Yang roughly determined where the enemy was hiding. He raised his gun, thought about it, took out a grenade from behind him, pulled the ring and threw it over.

The force of this throw was just right, and the grenade hit the enemy's forehead, causing his eyes to go black and a big bump to appear on his head. He almost fainted on the spot.

No matter who it is, being hit on the head by a piece of iron weighing more than a pound will not heal.

This guy was also stunned by the grenade and didn't realize what was happening.

With a loud bang, the grenade exploded under the enemy's feet, and the flying shrapnel blew him into a bloody gourd.

It was not until this time that he realized what had happened, but it was too late.

At the same time, another grenade exploded more than 40 meters away. The distance was a bit far, and Ou Yang could not see whether the enemy was killed, but the enemy's firepower did cause a small-scale chaos due to the two consecutive explosions - the grenade thrown from the warehouse could not reach the two places just now!
After throwing the grenade, Ou Yang fired several shots at the location where the gun flames appeared. It seemed that he hit the target, and two of the gun flames never appeared again.

The remaining enemies were still firing, but he couldn't see where they were.

If only there was a flare!

Ou Yang hid behind the corner with peace of mind, muttering to himself while taking out the remote key of the RV and pressing the unlock button.

As the car lock opened, the turn signal flashed a few times, revealing several figures hidden in the darkness.

Ou Yang immediately opened fire at the dark shadows.

The silencer on the submachine gun not only suppresses the sound, but also limits the muzzle flash. There is almost no flash when firing. The dark environment makes Ou Yang feel like a fish in water.

But he just hid on the flank and played supporting roles, without any intention of moving forward or going around to the rear of the enemy.

Are you kidding? The standard range of a rifle is 400 meters, and a submachine gun is 200 meters. If he rashly runs towards the main gate and is hit by friendly bullets, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?

It’s better to leave such a dangerous task to Lao Mi.

Ou Yang had no idea how many targets he had hit, but the enemy's nightmare began as soon as he rushed to the flank.

After a while, the gunshots outside the warehouse stopped, leaving only the gunshots inside the warehouse.

A moment later, Jedi's hoarse shout came from the warehouse: "Cease fire, Cease fire!"

The gunfire in the warehouse gradually stopped.

The smoke had not yet cleared, and the warehouse inside and outside fell into an eerie silence.

Ou Yang guessed that the enemy must have escaped, but he couldn't see the enemy's location and didn't dare to move.

Turning my head, I suddenly saw a Hummer with broken windows not far away, and the front of the car was heading towards the main gate of the camp.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately bent over, opened the car door, and turned on the headlights.

The bright lights illuminated several furtive figures.

Ou Yang used the Humvee as cover, lying behind the wheel and firing continuously, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to destroy the enemy's ability to move.

The distance between the two sides was not far, only about forty or fifty meters at most. Ou Yang seemed to be assisted by God and hit the enemy's calves continuously.

As soon as the enemy fell, he immediately opened fire.

After killing three enemies in a row, the last one hid in a mess behind a truck, away from the Hummer's lights.

Ouyang couldn't see the enemy and quickly left the Humvee.

At this time, Zhu Yiming found Jedi and quickly explained that Ou Yang had left the warehouse.

Jedi had already seen several people lying outside the warehouse. He was sure that what Zhu Yiming said was true, and immediately ordered his men to rush out.

Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei followed the team and shouted loudly before leaving the warehouse: "Ou Yang, where are you!"

Ou Yang, who was hiding in the corner, rolled his eyes and thought to himself, what if there are still enemies hiding in the dark, wouldn’t my position be exposed immediately by just opening my mouth?
He made up his mind to keep quiet and wait until the dust settled.

Soon, the enemy hiding behind the truck was discovered by the American soldiers, who immediately opened fire. However, the bullet hit the man but there was no movement at all. When they got closer, they found that the man had been shot in the chest and was dead.

The American soldiers quickly counted the bodies, eleven in total, which matched Samantha's statement.

They immediately reported that it was safe outside. Only then did Ou Yang yell, "I'm here, don't shoot!"

After leaving the hiding place, Ou Yang reunited with Zhu and Jiang.

He also saw Cardin's body, with a bloody hole in his head and shrapnel all over his body. Looking at his eyes open in death, he knew that his death was quite miserable.

Ou Yang didn't even know when this guy died, he only knew that he must have died at his hands. There was no need to force it, that was enough.
