Chapter 249 I'm dead
The scenery inside the wall is somewhat similar to that outside, both are overgrown with weeds. But there are no zombies here, there are many buildings nearby, and there seems to be an airport in the distance.
Wang Tao and others came to the gate of one of the buildings. Although the gate was locked, there was an eave to shelter from the rain.
Having just fought a battle, you can take a short rest and replenish your physical strength.
Wang Tao looked at He Jijun and said with admiration:
“Old He, that's amazing! I didn't expect you to think of such a method!”
If He Jijun hadn't thought of a way to throw the pie, he would definitely have been injured.
"Alas..." He Jijun sighed, and then explained, "I also raised a retired military dog before, but it turned into a zombie. At that time, I was knocked down by it, and I thought of the method of training it before. As a result, It really worked, but it was only temporary. It no longer had its own thoughts. In the end, I ended up killing it with my own hands..."
Wang Tao did not expect He Jijun to have this experience.
“Sorrow.”
“Haha, it's okay, I'm used to it.”
He Jijun shook his head indifferently.
Wang Tao didn't talk much about this matter, but asked:
“Where do you think we should go now?”
There seemed to be no danger inside this wall, but the doors and windows of these buildings were all locked, and the locks were different from anything Wang Tao had ever seen. He felt that he might not be able to open them.
He Jijun thought for a while and said:
“Go to the command center. If there are any survivors, they will be there because the entire military base can be monitored there.”
“Okay, you lead the way!”
Wang Tao turned on his perception to the maximum, and the group followed He Jijun to the command center.
“Huh? Is that a plane?”
Suddenly, Yang Changhong pointed to a place on the airport and asked.
Wang Tao and the others looked at the sound, and sure enough they saw two corroded military transport planes.
"Pity…"
Seeing this scene, He Jijun sighed.
Looking at it like this, these two planes have been exposed to corrosive acid rain for a long time and are obviously unusable.
Wang Tao frowned.
“These two planes should not be the ones airdropped to us. They are all corroded into a pile of scrap metal..."
He Jijun opened his mouth and said:
“There is a hangar here. If the airdrop aircraft you mentioned is at the base, it is most likely in the hangar.”
"That's good!"
Wang Tao is still hoping to get a flying drop.
A moment later, Wang Tao and his party arrived at the command center building of He Jijun Club.
“It's all locked…”
After walking around the outside of the building, he returned to the gate of the command center. He Jijun's face looked a little ugly.
“Is there no way in?”
Wang Tao asked.
"The defense here is very tight. If we don't open it from the inside, it will be impossible to get in unless we blow it up with bombs."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Finally arrived at the military base, you can't get in, right?
The important buildings in the military base are all locked in this way. They can't enter the command center or other places, including the hangar.
Wang Tao has been using a military walkie-talkie, but unfortunately he still cannot make contact. I don't know if something happened to Colonel Luo Guozhong...
But at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded at the gate of the command center. The sound was not loud, and Wang Tao and others outside the gate were startled.
"what's the situation!"
Several people instantly became alert. He Jijun was also a little confused.
A "rumbling" sound came from behind the door.
Then, the door opened!
“It's open!”
Seeing that the door slowly opened a gap, Wang Tao suddenly became a little excited, but he did not relax his vigilance. He immediately took out the bone knife and at the same time probed into it with his sensory abilities.
“It's safe inside, there are no zombies or humans…”
The door opened to a position that could accommodate two people and then stopped. It was dark inside and looked a bit scary.
Wang Tao's eyes immediately glowed with green light.
His senses didn't see any danger, and he used his night vision to check again, but he didn't find any traps or anything like that.
“Let's go in!”
Wang Tao took the lead, and the group followed Wang Tao and walked in.
Rumble —
As soon as a few people came in, they saw the door behind them slowly starting to close!
Wang Tao naturally has time to go out, but his purpose is to come to the military base, so naturally he cannot back down.
Wait until the door is completely closed and the last trace of light disappears. Just a buzzing sound was heard, and the lights here automatically turned on!
“Is someone in control?”
This is a hall that looks a bit sci-fi style, but it is empty and has nothing.
Wang Tao immediately shouted:
“Colonel Luo Guozhong, is that you? I'm Wang Tao! We've contacted each other on the radio before! I said I would come to the military base to treat you to a drink, and here I am, bringing the wine!”
Wang Tao's voice echoed in the empty hall, but there was no response.
He Jijun patted Wang Tao's arm, and then pointed to the flashing cameras on the roof.
Wang Tao understood immediately. He came to the camera generously, repeated what he had just said, and emphatically showed off the two bottles of white wine in his hands.
But after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
"What's happening here?"
Wang Tao frowned a little.
If the people here didn't want to see him, they probably wouldn't open the door for him. But what does it mean to open the door and let them in, but not come out?
He Jijun said at this time:
“Let's find it ourselves!”
"OK!"
The lobby on the first floor is relatively empty and has nothing. There were several doors leading to unknown places, but they were all locked.
After all, this place is owned by someone else, and it is someone else's territory. Naturally, it was difficult for Wang Tao to unlock it, so the group of people walked towards the second floor.
As soon as a few people went up the stairs, the lights on the stairs turned on, and the lights in the hall on the first floor went out instantly.
“Maybe it's energy saving mode…”,
He Jijun was a little confused. He felt like there was no one here.
But since Wang Tao said there is a colonel named Luo Guozhong here, there must be someone...
He Jijun didn't say much. He came upstairs with Wang Tao and others.
There is also a lobby on the second floor. There are many screens here, which seem to be able to monitor the entire base. But the screen is all black.
“There are traces of human life here!”
He Jijun suddenly pointed to a road.
Wang Tao and others looked over and saw that it was a ceramic cup. There were dried tea leaves inside, but no water.
He Jijun picked up the cup and looked at it, then frowned and said:
“This should be tea from a long time ago, at least a month ago…”
"so long?"
Wang Tao frowned. The last time he and Colonel Luo Guozhong spoke was only a few days ago?
Before she had time to think about it, Jiang Shixue's voice suddenly sounded.
“Brother, there is a letter!”
Everyone turned around immediately and saw an envelope on the table where Jiang Shixue was standing.
Wang Tao and others walked over immediately.
There was no writing on the envelope. Wang Tao opened it directly, and there was indeed a letter inside.
“Wang Tao, hello, I'm Luo Guozhong. If you can read this letter, I'm already dead.”
"died?"
Wang Tao was a little confused when he saw the first sentence of this letter.
“Colonel Luo is dead? He airdropped me a few days ago. Could it be that something unexpected happened after the airdrop? If I had come a week earlier, I could have seen him!”
Wang Tao had a look of regret on his face. Whether it was from a utilitarian point of view or from his own heart, he really wanted to get to know Colonel Luo, but it was a pity...
"I have shut down all the defense systems in the base except for the power grid. If someone comes in, they only need to cross the power grid. I believe that if it is a human with superpowers, there should be a way to get in."
“The defense systems are all shut down?”
Wang Tao looked at He Jijun.
He Jijun suddenly said:
“I was wondering why the defense system here wasn't turned on! It doesn't look like it was completely destroyed…it turned out to be manually turned off!”
He Jijun was very cautious before entering the military base. He said there are many defensive weapons in the base. If the defense system is open, it will be dangerous to break in from the outside.
But from the time they entered the military base until now, they have not encountered any defensive measures. This made He Jijun a little confused. The whole system couldn't be paralyzed, right? As far as he knows, there are many defense equipment in the military base that can be operated by no one, as long as the equipment is turned on, unless the base energy is exhausted or completely destroyed. Otherwise, it will continue to work even if the person dies...but if it is turned off manually, it makes sense.
"I don't know if you can come here. I don't want you to come because it's too dangerous. But I hope you can come, because if you can come here, it means you are safe. And, I want to drink from you. of wine.”
Seeing this sentence, Wang Tao suddenly felt a little sad.
"I was infected with the zombie virus and took too many inhibitors. There is no cure. I will die in the next moment at the earliest or tomorrow at the latest. But I am very content to survive until now. Please don't be sad for me. ”
"Although we are a military base here, it is not as good as you think. On the contrary, this is a place mainly besieged by zombies. There is a battle log in the computer, and everything here is recorded in it. The computer password was canceled by me. I hope the base's power will last until your arrival.”
This is not beyond Wang Tao's expectation. After all, there must be a lot of fighting noise at the military base, and it is normal for zombies to be attracted.
Wang Tao is also very interested in this battle log.
“To be honest, I want to live.”
“But I don't have a chance, and I don't allow myself to survive. Although I can't continue to fight on the front line, I will do my best to help those in need.”
"In the few days after the virus outbreak, satellites in the sky also experienced problems one after another, and were eventually completely paralyzed. Fortunately, we have other backup communication methods. We contacted other bases and contacted the Hope Research Institute. The Hope Research Institute , is indeed our hope.”
“But unfortunately, our connection with the capital is cut off, and our connection with the Hope Research Institute is also cut off. I don't know if any of them are still alive. I hope they are all alive, and they must not be like me.”
“I miss my daughter, I miss my wife, I miss my parents. It would be great if they didn't die!”
“I really miss them!”
"I want to die."
The three words "I want to die" are very ferocious.
Then there is a large piece of garbled characters. If you look closely, they should still be Chinese characters. However, when Luo Guozhong wrote these characters, he may not be in the right state. The writing was very confusing, and Wang Tao and others could not recognize what they were.
At the end of the content, the handwriting suddenly returned to normal.
"Sorry, I'm a little lost. Maybe it's because I'm lonely. But fortunately, I still have three comrades. We can still do something meaningful together."
"By the way, I also have a good partner. His name is Lightning. He is a military dog. He is one year old and has just grown up. If you call his name, he will be very obedient. I hope you can allow him to follow you."
“Military dog? Could it be the zombie dog we just killed?”
Wang Tao and others looked at each other.
"The last thing I want to say is. Wang Tao, or other survivors who read this letter, come on! Don't give up! You must work hard to survive!"
—Luo Guozhong, September 15th.
After reading this letter, everyone had mixed feelings.
From these words, they could feel the despair in the heart of Colonel Luo Guozhong.
Luo Guozhong is infected with the zombie virus, which cannot be cured. He can only take inhibitors all the time, but problems will arise if too much inhibitors are used...
In short, Colonel Luo Guozhong has been waiting to die from the moment he was infected with the zombie virus.
Before, he could still contact the Hope Research Institute in Beijing, and the Hope Research Institute was his hope.
But his contact with the Hope Research Institute was later cut off, and so was his hope...
But...there is a problem!
Wang Tao previously thought that there was a relationship between the Wuyang Military Base and the Hope Research Institute, and that things like inhibitors and robotic arms were all taken from the Hope Research Institute. After all, they have planes and can fly there.
But judging from the meaning of this letter, Colonel Luo Guozhong has not contacted the Hope Research Institute, and there is only a communication link between the Wuyang Military Base and the Hope Research Institute. How did you get these inhibitors?
Is it possible that there is some kind of space teleportation technology?
“Look at the battle log! There should be an answer in the battle log!”
He Jijun immediately found the switch of the main gate.
Zizi—
In an instant, all the screens in the entire hall lit up.
Then the screens began to appear one after another, some were flashing snowflake screens, and some were showing surveillance screens.
“Monitor!”
Seeing these monitors light up, everyone was curious.
After all, this is a military base, which is inherently mysterious. There are many places they can enter, so they naturally look at the surveillance cameras subconsciously.
“What's here? There seems to be a gun!”
Yang Changhong pointed to the first surveillance screen that lit up and opened his mouth.
“This is the arsenal. All the arms and ammunition from the Wuyang Military Base are here. But it looks like... there is not much left.”
He Jijun explained.
“What about here?”
Nie Si pointed to the second screen with some curiosity.
“That's the medical room…”
"This is…"
“That's the living area…”
“This is the logistics support room…”
“That's a military garage. Huh? There are also military vehicles! They are not corroded!”
Facing everyone's doubts, He Jijun answered them one by one.
Then he said:
“Since the systems here can be used, we can remotely open the doors in other places. For example, the things in the arsenal and the medical room can be taken out and used.”
“This is great, I see a lot of weapons inside!”
Yang Changhong was a little excited, she saw a lot of guns!
Although it is very unsafe to use guns in the apocalypse, you can still use guns at certain times, such as when the rain is particularly heavy now.
If so many guns fire at the same time, the lethality will definitely be stronger than that of many superpowers!
And since it is an arsenal at a military base, it must not only have guns, but also other weapons, right?
Are there any cannons, missiles, etc.?
If there is, that would be great!
A few people are looking forward to it more and more.
“There's someone!”
Suddenly, Jiang Shixue pointed to one of the screens and said.
Everyone quickly followed the sound and looked.
In this screen, there is a huge transport plane.
The appearance of this transport plane was very familiar to Wang Tao, it was the plane that airdropped to him!
But the focus now is not on the plane, but on the bottom of the plane. There are several figures in military uniforms, and there are some airdrop boxes beside them.
“Is there anyone alive?”
Everyone was a little excited.
At this time, a figure wearing a broken pilot helmet slowly walked under the monitor.
He raised his head, revealing a ferocious face and a pair of white eyes.
“Zombies, zombies?”
Yang Changhong and others were stunned.
The pilot zombie staggered to the side of several other figures.
“They're all zombies?!”
It was only then that everyone realized that the other three figures in military uniforms were all zombies! No wonder their bodies felt a little stiff just now!
But the next scene will be unforgettable for everyone.
I saw the zombies in military uniforms actually moved these airdrop boxes into the plane! They were actually transporting airdrop boxes!
Then they closed the rear door of the plane again!
And the pilot zombie staggered under the plane, opened the cab door, and sat in the cab!
“These zombies... actually want to fly a plane! Oh my god!”
But at this moment, a red light suddenly flashed in the hangar.
“Warning! Flight is not allowed due to thunderstorm weather. If you want to fly, please enter the authorization password.”
"warn…"
After the warning sounded, the door of the aircraft cab opened. The pilot zombie staggered out. Together with three other zombies in military uniforms, he opened the rear door of the plane and removed all the airdrops inside.
After moving, they seemed to rest for a while, and then started to repeat the previous actions, loading the airdrop onto the plane!
“Warning! Thunderstorm…”
The pilot zombie came down again, and together with the three zombies, they moved the airdrop off the plane!
This goes on and on.
Command center.
Everyone was completely stunned.
Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened the letter Luo Guozhong wrote to him again.
The signing date on the letter is "September 15th".
He looked at his watch and saw "October 22nd" written on it.
“The zombie pilot in the hangar is Colonel Luo Guozhong!”
“He died not last week, but…last month!”
“Just two days after I 'called an airdrop' last time, he passed away…”
“In other words, after Colonel Luo Guozhong died, his zombie body was still being airdropped by planes...and this has been going on for more than a month!”
"The person I contacted via radio was actually his... corpse!"
