Chapter 1019: Crossroads (Part 1)

Hurry up, keep up. "

Kakuri shouted. The team had been marching for more than a day and was exhausted. After receiving instructions from the headquarters, all the teams tried to avoid places where people gathered. They had no danger along the way. Although they were attacked, the 144th team was lucky. After giving the attackers some food, they made way.

Kakuri had confirmed the route, avoiding a town with a large crowd ahead, and bypassing a mountain range that was already vaguely visible. Different from the planned marching route, it added more than 20 kilometers.

In the night sky, the left side can be seen You can see a faint flickering light spot, which is the floating signal station. At this time, you can still receive the signal, but once you pass it, the signal will be blocked.

Although it is not clear what happened in the barrier area, along the way, Kakuri and the team members saw the dead body, the body was festering to varying degrees, and it was not long after death. The team doctor Sophia tested it and found that it was not a virus, but cancer.

Hu Xue held the gun and walked behind the team all the time. She stared at Sun Lu excitedly. Yu Tong next to her was already very tired. She looked at Hu Xue who was not tired, but more and more excited.

"Let's go to the mountain over there and take a rest later."

Hu Xue did not answer and fell into silence. Yu Tong knew very well that Hu Xue's condition was very bad now. She had already told the team doctor, but after the team doctor came, Hu Xue acted very calmly and there was no problem at all.

"Switch to short-range signal. "

Kakuri said, pressing the edge of the goggles, and instantly he saw the green dots flashing on the inner screen. Following behind him, the green dots gradually lit up. Kakuri looked at the road in front of him that began to go uphill. There was still some distance from the mountains, and he ordered a rapid march.

The last 29 green dots moved quickly. Now they had to find a place to rest until 4 a.m. tomorrow while the wind and sand were not strong. The signal was getting weaker and weaker, and soon the communication signal between the whole team and the headquarters was disconnected.

They had deviated from the original route of the team's march, and there was nothing they could do about it. The barrier area was undergoing some changes. Kakuri had taken out a high-altitude flare gun and switched to red flares.

If any problem occurred, the only means of seeking help now was flares. Kakuri was still looking at the mountain map he had just received. These areas were drawn by special inspectors after years of field observations in the barrier area.

"Captain."

At this time, Sun Lu came up.

"Or we can take the northwest route 28, which can shorten the journey by nearly 10 kilometers. "

Kakuri immediately raised his hand, pressed the edge of the goggles, and quickly called out the Northwest Route 28. This route requires crossing a nearly 1,300-meter mountain. They all have mountaineering equipment.

Kakuri glanced at the footsteps of the team members behind him. He was mentally exhausted, but physically energetic. Now there is no deduction for deviating from the route, but the march must continue. It's just that the time to arrive at the first supply station will be delayed. The delay time will be determined based on the marching distance of the deviation from the route. The situation remains unchanged.

After taking over the map of the area after the marching route deviated, Kakuri passed it to the team members separately, and also said that the team members could make suggestions.

Then Kakuri raised his hand and asked the team members to stop. Everyone gathered together. He began to explain the situation. Many people looked at the dark mountains in the distance.

The slope of the mountain is not large, and there is no great climbing difficulty. Finally, the team members They all agreed that as long as they crossed the mountains, they could reduce the distance by 10 kilometers.

Most people's emotions also recovered, and they would talk from time to time along the way. Hu Xue stared at Sun Lu coldly, and the 144th team started on the road again.

At this time, the 71st team in the northwest was resting in a ruined town with no one. They had exceeded the march. The captain was very happy. They did not encounter any obstacles on the northwest route, and the team members were also very motivated and had completed a 60-kilometer march.

Everyone was tired at this time. It was just past 10 o'clock. The captain planned to let the team members rest until 4 o'clock in the morning before starting the march. At this time, the team members gathered in twos and threes near the heating furnace, eating and chatting in some places that were exposed to the wind.

There were take-offs and landings whizzing overhead from time to time, and many people were discussing what happened.

"Why haven't those two guys come back yet."

The captain looked at the two people on the goggles who were more than 200 meters away from them. The green dot was still flashing. The two had been gone for almost half an hour.

"You two go and take a look. "

The captain yawned and prepared to sleep. Two team members who were already planning to sleep got up reluctantly. The advantage of their team was that there were only three female players, and the team doctor was one of them.

"It's bad, captain."

Accompanied by a cry of surprise from a distance, the captain got up instantly and called some team members to run over. In an instant, everyone looked at the two dead team members on the ground with a serious face. The team doctor came over soon.

One after another, strong lights were set up, and the light instantly illuminated the surrounding area like daylight. There were some footprints on the ground. Both of them were slashed in the neck from behind when they were relieving themselves. According to the wound test, it was a light-killing saber, and the supplies and weapons on the two people were taken away.

Team 71 has deviated 8 kilometers from the original route and is now unable to use communication means to contact the headquarters. The captain decisively took out his flare gun and fired a red flare into the sky.

In an instant, with a violent sound, a signal bomb went straight into the air, exploded in the air, and turned into a giant red light ball that slowly fell.

There was a member of the team who stared at all this with cold eyes, looking at the captain's actions with some surprise.

The team members began to search for traces around them, but the footprints looked a bit messy and disappeared after leaving the ruins. Many people speculated that they were killed by the mutants in the barrier area. They robbed the supplies and then Left quickly.

The sudden death made everyone in Team 71 feel a chill.

"Captain, why don't we give up?"

A short member of the team said this. The captain looked at the two corpses quietly and fell into deep thought.

Bang bang

Along with the sound of gunfire, a member of Team 104 held up the gun in his hand and smiled coldly, looking at the two members who had fallen into a pool of blood. One member who was shot through the leg shook in pain. Head down.

"What on earth are you going to do!"

boom

The gun rang out. The team member sneered and looked back at the place behind him. It was bustling. The other members of Team 104 were still in the town. He quickly stripped off the clothes and weapons and equipment of the team members, and carried them all on his back. He got on his body and started running quickly.

After more than ten minutes, two female team members came over talking and laughing.

"I wonder if the four of you are trying to catch a fish? Why does it take so long for you to go to the front to check the route conditions?"

In the next second, accompanied by a woman's scream, the members of Team 104 who were still in the town ran over one after another.

There was a faint sound of breathing, accompanied by a scream. The captain of the first team to set off was leaning against the wall. His hands and feet could not move, and one eye was blind. He looked in front of him angrily. , the best player in the team was pressing behind a female player whose hands were nailed to the wall, and the female player was crying in humiliation.

The light-killing saber in the male player's hand would occasionally scratch the female player's skin, followed immediately by a shrill scream.

And not just here, you can also hear the screams of some female team members.

"What on earth do you want to do!"

The captain wanted to get up, but the male team member turned around and squatted in front of the captain, holding up the light-killing saber in his hand.

At this time, the door of the room opened, and an armed member from the barrier area walked in with a satisfied look on his face.

"It's really no problem!"

"Just wait until you have had enough fun and get rid of the body."

The male team member raised the light-killing saber in his hand and pressed it against the captain's neck.

"I hate you people in the field, I hate you so much. I was born here. Maybe you don't remember it, but I still remember that the reason why I joined your team was just to kill you."

For a moment, the captain's eyes widened, and with a burst of screams, the light-killing saber in the male team member's hand cut the captain's neck without hesitation.

"Zhang Jin, I beg you to let me go."

The female team member whimpered, and the male team member who called Zhang Jin stood up, glanced at the female team member, and walked over with a wicked smile.

"You know, when I was very young, I watched my parents die in the purge operation of Section 3. Who made you a member of Section 3?"

Zhang Jin opened the door and walked out. There were more than ten armed men outside the room. They entered the house with evil smiles.

The entire gathering place was not big. Zhang Jin smiled and looked at the dead male team members on the ground. He walked slowly outside the simple gathering place, squatted on the ground again, and began to lay mines.

This place is more than 10 kilometers away from the original route. No one will find out in a short time. There are more than 30 armed men in this place. Zhang Jin relied on them to capture the team in one fell swoop. All members.

When they saw Zhang Jin shooting at his team members, these team members also believed Zhang Jin. However, what the militants behind them didn't know was that a large number of controllable landmines had been placed in their gathering area.

At this time, Zhang Jin's face was excited, but there was sadness in his eyes. He continued to lay mines. As expected, most of the armed forces in the north were deeply angry at the people in the business department, because the north had experienced a lot. times of purge.

After a sudden movement, Zhang Jin stood up, and armed men pointed at Zhang Jin with guns in their hands.

"Master of the Business Department, you are really ruthless. I just want you to die here too."

The gun rang out, and instantly red particles overflowed from the surface of Zhang Jin's body. Bullets lingered in the air, accompanied by explosions one after another, and the entire gathering place fell into a sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Jin quickly eliminated several militants and detonated the mines on the mountain wall. As the boulders rolled down, he silently took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. Tears were already streaming down his face.

A few hours after arriving at the barrier area, Zhang Jin had already planned to get rid of Team 1 when he found an opportunity. Zhang Jin had already found the officers who had cleaned up their area. The captain of Team 1 was One of them.

Zhang Jin took his weapons, guns and supplies and ran quickly. The next step would be to go directly to the signal network station built on the marching route according to the plan and destroy it directly.

The people who mixed into other teams should also start to act. Those who came from the barrier area were angry about everything in the city. Most of them should have awakened after seeing the barrier area. In order to prevent the plan from being exposed, most of them had been hypnotized by Dean Fry.

As long as they stepped into the barrier area for a period of time, they would remember that the hatred buried deep in their hearts would emerge. Zhang Jin refused mental hypnosis. He was the smartest and most capable one among this group of lurkers.

"I want you to pay for your blood debt with blood!"

After just over 10 minutes, Zhang Jin saw a signal station floating in the air. He took out a long-range sniper rifle, aimed at the signal station, and pulled the trigger.

With a burst of fire, the floating signal station exploded. This kind of signal station can only be identified by wearing goggles issued by Section 3. As early as a few months ago, the goggles issued to Zhang Jin were tampered by the engineers in the Creator. No one would find out. All they need to do is to destroy this military exercise.

Zhang Jin looked at the sniper rifle in his hand. His parents died under long-range sniping. During that cleanup, Zhang Jin and some other children hid in underground facilities and saved their lives. They endured everything until now. After entering Section 3, they were assigned to this team. Every day Zhang Jin lived in deep self-loathing, and everyone's face was the same.

Many times when talking about the Barrier Zone with the team members, most of the team members had contempt and ridicule in their eyes. For so many years, the city's attitude towards the Barrier Zone has been the same. This time, the tragic situation he saw along the way made Zhang Jin completely wake up.

Recalling the previous incident of poisonous food in the city, the sick people in the Barrier Zone are in the same situation as the people in the city. The poisonous food came to the Barrier Zone, and the past scenes flowed in Zhang Jin's mind.

If Dean Fry hadn't come, Zhang Jin and the other children would have died there. The collapsed ruins pressed the entrance to the underground facility. Zhang Jin felt his life disappearing every day. In helplessness and despair, the entrance was opened, and he and some other children were rescued.

However, what made Zhang Jin even more angry now was that the Barrier Zone would actually choose to compromise because of a little bit of mercy. Obviously, there were many people like him who had experienced such a bloody cleansing, and they were obviously living like ghosts and ghosts, but in the end they could only succumb to the Operations Department and humbly accept mercy.

Fry once said that if you want to change everything, you can only let everything return to chaos and start to shake from the bottom. The ultimate purpose of this interference plan is to provoke a conflict between the people in the Barrier Zone and the Operations Department, and finally turn it into a war.

The rule of the Action Department will be gradually disintegrated, and finally the Creators will take over everything and create a bright future for mankind.

Beep beep

Zhang Jin's goggles prompted that Team 6 was nearby. He held his gun and ran wildly

"Lord Xima, Teams 1, 4, 5, 17, 23, 45, and 68 in the northwest have lost contact. On these routes, they will have direct contact with some armed forces. They have sent reports before leaving the routes, but the floating signal station on Team 6's route has lost contact. The last image was that it was hit by a sniper rifle."

Xima stood up.

"Let the crows go over and investigate thoroughly. Don't miss any traces."

Xima looked at a video, which was transmitted from the No. 49 floating signal station, and the photo of the moment it was destroyed. It can be inferred that it was done by mutants, and the weapon was still the long-range sniper rifle of Section 3.

According to the distance calculation, the vicinity is the marching route of the 1st and 6th teams. The team members are very likely to be ambushed by armed elements after leaving the signal area.

At this time, the news of the destruction of the second signal station came back, and Xima's eyes widened.

"Notify Falcon to go to the accident site for investigation."

Xima's expression became serious. She took the phone and pressed the number 0003.

"Chief, I suspect that there are rioters who are disrupting the march."

"So?"

Xima said after hesitating for a while.

"Cancel this military exercise and let the troops gather first to avoid greater casualties."

"Everything is up to you."
