The soldiers nearby reacted quickly. They rushed forward and locked the jumper's neck with a special chain. Then several soldiers worked together to drag the jumper away.
At this moment, Zhou Lingwei came to Wu Baoguo's side, her face full of anxiety and seriousness. The military uniform outlined her tall figure. Her brows were furrowed and her lips were tightly pursed. Seeing a group of soldiers around Wu Baoguo, she couldn't help but hesitate to speak.
"Alright, clean up the battlefield, separate the wounded and the dead, and gather them together to prevent them from turning into corpses. Then, go back to your posts!"
Wu Baoguo seemed to see what Zhou Lingwei was thinking, so he immediately gave the order.
Then he motioned Zhou Lingwei to follow him to the temporary office on the southern defense line.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Wu Baoguo lit a cigarette and started smoking.
It was as if he was reliving the bloody massacre that had just occurred.
"Dr. Li was attacked!"
Zhou Lingwei was concise and got straight to the point.
"Ahem, wha…what?"
Wu Baoguo was so frightened by these words that he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing violently.
His mission this time was not to rescue any survivors, that was just a side job.
The main purpose is to allow Li Tingting to come here to collect enough experimental data, and then return to the institute to develop an antiviral vaccine.
Now in the apocalypse, what is more scarce than strong soldiers are engineers and scientists.
Any of their inventions and breakthroughs may affect the future development of the world.
Moreover, Li Tingting is a student of Lin Taixue, a leading figure in the field of biology and medicine, and a senior researcher in the safe zone.
If something happens to this person, then my mission will be a complete failure!
Zhou Lingwei poured him some tea while continuing to report:
"Just now when we were fighting against the zombies, we focused all our attention on the defense of the southern line and the survivors' residential area. However, we never expected that zombies would attack from the back, directly break through the defense line, and kidnap Dr. Li!"
"What? Are you saying you kidnapped Dr. Li?"
Wu Baoguo immediately found the key from Zhou Lingwei's words.
Generally speaking, when zombies encounter humans, they will immediately kill them and spread the virus. This is their nature.
And this time, the zombies only kidnapped Li Tingting! ?
This is truly horrifying!
This shows that there is intelligent life among the zombies.
Humans have never been too afraid of brainless zombies; they just exist in larger numbers.
Just put up a sound bait to gather them together, and one white phosphorus bomb can take care of tens of thousands of zombies.
But if zombies had brains, this massacre would turn into a war.
"Yes, this is the surveillance video I retrieved. These two zombies are very powerful, and even ordinary firearms have difficulty penetrating their defenses!"
"and……"
As Zhou Lingwei explained, her white fingertips slid across the screen, outlining the movement paths of Zhang Chen and Shen Xinyi.
"After breaking through the northern defense line, at this intersection, the left side is the residential area, and the front is the supply area. There are a lot of human activities in these two areas."
"But they didn't even stop at this intersection, and turned directly into the test area. This shows that their attack was purposeful and not accidental!"
"And in the end, when they left, they not only took Li Tingting away, but also took away an experimental subject."
Zhou Lingwei handed a stack of printed materials to Wu Baoguo, pointed to a photo of a beautiful woman and said:
"Chen Mengxue, a college counselor, doesn't have much background, but the experimental records say she is immune to zero! And the file encryption level is top secret."
"This means that Chen Mengxue may be the key to our cracking the zombie virus! But this zombie took her away!"
“This... how is it possible?!” For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on Wu Baoguo’s face.
To do this, it means that the zombie is not only intelligent and knows how to use the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to attract our attention, but also knows that there is a key to cracking the zombie virus in our camp, and can even accurately locate her position? !
Thinking of this, Wu Baoguo couldn't help but take a breath.
Is this still a zombie?!
Chapter 53 Both jade and stone are destroyed
"Where did these zombies go after they left the camp? Can you find out?"
Wu Baoguo asked nervously.
His intuition told him that if he didn't get rid of these zombies as soon as possible, the world in the future would no longer be dominated by humans!
"There was a major power outage in the city, and all street surveillance was unavailable, so we couldn't track their location. And it was cloudy today, so satellites were unavailable."
"If we want to track them, we can only take the dumbest approach, a carpet search. After all, Dr. Li and Immune Zero are in his hands."
"Using the thermal infrared emitted by the human body, we should be able to find them!"
Zhou Lingwei explained.
"I'll ask my superiors for instructions first. After all, it's impossible to conceal the kidnapping of a person of Dr. Li's rank. Wait for my answer outside the door!"
Wu Baoguo said.
"Yes, Commander!"
Zhou Lingwei saluted and then walked to the office door.
The jelly in front of her was shaking slightly with every step she took.
If she were not a female soldier, but just a woman in uniform, her impressive figure under the uniform would definitely be an extreme temptation to men.
The silence in the room was like the calm before a storm, solemn and depressing.
After a long while, only the sound of Wu Baoguo's footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the air was filled with an indescribable solemn atmosphere.
Pushing the door open, Wu Baoguo's face was filled with fatigue and bitterness, as if he was carrying not only a mission, but the future of all mankind.
His eyes were blurry, and he seemed to be silently struggling with a decision that he had to make.
"Commander, what does it say?"
Zhou Lingwei's voice broke the silence, her eyes flickering with anticipation and anxiety.
"It's said that Dr. Li must be rescued at all costs. As for the immune patient Zero, it would be best if he can be kept alive. If not, the body must be brought back so that they can do DNA sequencing!"
"The camp has just suffered a severe blow. I can't spare too many troops for you, so this mission will definitely fall on you and your special forces team!"
Wu Baoguo's voice was hoarse and deep, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
When Zhou Lingwei heard that her team could complete such an important task, she was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing.
This is a great opportunity to prove myself and my special forces team to everyone.
There was an irrepressible excitement in her voice, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her smile was full of confidence and pride.
However, Wu Baoguo's eyes did not seem to relax at all because of Zhou Lingwei's enthusiasm, and there was a suppressed seriousness in his words:
"But...if Li Tingting is confirmed dead, your mission will fail, and the superiors will adopt Plan B!"
"Plan B?"
Zhou Lingwei read a hint of helplessness in Wu Baoguo's words, as if this plan B was something that should not be done unless it was absolutely necessary.
"That's right, that means nuking the entire city!"
Wu Baoguo said calmly.
"Nuclearize the entire city?"
Zhou Lingwei's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable heaviness.
"This city has a population of over 99 million. Even if 10% of them turned into zombies, there are still over survivors!"
There was an irrepressible wave of emotion in Zhou Lingwei's words, and her eyes flashed with a determined fire, as if she was shouting for those unknown survivors.
Her voice became a little shrill because of excitement:
"And based on the distress data we have received from the survivors, the survival rate is far higher than 1%!"
In her heart, every survivor is a precious life and hope for the future.
"If we destroy the city with a nuclear weapon, at least hundreds of thousands of civilians will be killed!"
There was a hint of irreversible despair in Zhou Lingwei's words. Her fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, and all the strength in her body seemed to be filled with anger and grief for these innocent lives.
Wu Baoguo's face was also livid, his eyes were cold, but beneath that cold appearance was a sense of powerlessness and deep worry about his fate. His voice was low, with a commanding firmness:
"This is a decision from above, and you also know how terrifying that intelligent zombie is!"
"If we humans can't get the key to save ourselves, then we can't let the zombies get the key to rise. You know what I mean!"
Wu Baoguo said in a cold tone.
The key to the rise of zombies that he mentioned refers to the intelligent Zhang Chen.
The reason why human safety zones can stand firm is, on the one hand, because of the powerful firepower of human thermal weapons and the survivors who are constantly upgrading and becoming stronger.
On the other hand, and the most important aspect: zombies are a group of scattered sand, and they will not take the initiative to attack the camp unless humans expose their tracks.
If there were zombies commanding tens of millions of zombies to continuously attack the safe zones, I am afraid that the seven safe zones in the city would have been destroyed long ago.
To be more pessimistic, what if it controls billions of zombies and mutated zombies around the world?
I'm afraid human civilization is about to come to an end!
"Destroy everything together..."
This was the first word that popped into Zhou Lingwei’s mind after hearing Wu Baoguo’s words!
"Three days. You only have three days. If you cannot rescue Dr. Li within three days, everyone in the safe zone will be evacuated to the suburbs within one day, and then an indiscriminate nuclear strike will be carried out on the entire city!"
Wu Baoguo stood with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
Giving this task to Zhou Lingwei is equivalent to putting the responsibility for the life and death of hundreds of thousands of survivors in the city in her hands.
If successful and an antiviral drug is developed, the credit will go to Dr. Li.
If it fails, Zhou Lingwei will be blamed.
Wu Baoguo couldn't bear it, but he had no other choice at the moment.
"Understood, I will try my best and will not let you down!"
She stood at attention in front of Wu Baoguo, her expression firm and her eyes gleaming with an unyielding light.
"But... I may need some local survivors to assist me. They are familiar with the surrounding situation, so I can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Zhou Lingwei asked for instructions.
"Sure, you can bring as many people as you want, but you must remember, there are only three days. If the mission fails after three days, you must evacuate as soon as possible!"
"After all, this mission is very difficult. Success or failure at a certain moment does not determine a hero's success. You and your special forces are very important to me, the Saviors, and humanity!"
Wu Baoguo's instructions revealed deep trust and reliance, and his eyes were filled with reluctance and anticipation.
"I won't let you down!"
Zhou Lingwei said nothing more. She nodded to Wu Baoguo in a capable manner, which was a sign of respect for her superior and an affirmation of her promise. Then, she turned and left with firm and powerful steps to gather her team and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Chapter 54 Interrogation
On the other side, inside Zhang Chen’s safe house.
The door of the clothing rental shop was made of several rough wooden boards nailed to the door frame in a haphazard manner. Sandbags, iron barrels and various gravel were piled at the door, roughly stacked into a series of fortifications, giving people a majestic and indestructible feeling.
The store windows are covered with heavy curtains, some loose and some tight, vaguely revealing a kind of shabby beauty.
From the outside, this looks like a survivor camp.
The reason why it is arranged like this is very simple.
Zombies don't have much brains and don't need to be confused. This series is meant to confuse humans.
