Chapter 365 The Night Is Getting Darker
Zhao Yufang stared at her sister in a daze, speechless, with only surprise in her eyes.
When did her sister become so bold, and actually told her about chasing men without blushing, is this still the shy sister in her memory?
Seeing her second sister silent, Zhao Yuyan said dissatisfiedly: "Second sister, I am worried about you like this, what if... don't blame me for snatching it from you at that time."
"Huh..."
After a light breath, Zhao Yufang said helplessly: "I am really afraid of you, okay, okay, okay, I won't compete with you, just see how capable my beautiful and lovely sister is."
With a red face, Zhao Yuyan said proudly: "Humph, just watch."
Li Meng didn't know about the private talk of the two women in the communication room behind him, and even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
Time passed quickly, and before dark, Wuhan finally quieted down.
On the river, the "White Whale" land vehicle that had left for a long time returned to Wuhan.
"Chen Bei'er, what's the situation in the red zone?"
On the terrace of a high-rise building on the east coast, Chen Bei'er was still lying behind the gap in the guardrail that was kicked by the heavy cavalry guard.
The captain's question made Chen Bei'er control the heavy cavalry guard to stand up and come to the southwest guardrail.
Raising the sniper rifle, Chen Bei'er used the sight on the sniper rifle to observe the red zone in the ruins.
There was a blank area on the ground in the center of the city. The nearby buildings were crooked. Although they were buried by red matter, it could be seen from the outline that it was a huge crater left by the nuclear explosion.
Chen Bei'er said: "The red zone has become quiet, and there are no signs of activity of the alien beasts."
In the "White Whale" land vehicle, Li Meng, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, heard Chen Bei'er's report and looked thoughtful.
They were clearly in the city, so close to the red zone, but the alien beasts in the red zone turned a blind eye.
This reminded Li Meng of an inert virus "Disillusionment" developed by the new humans.
The "Disillusionment" virus is not inert. For humans, the Disillusionment virus is a killer and a biochemical weapon. If used on humans, humans will die within seconds and cells will be killed instantly.
This inertia is for the alien beasts and the fungal carpet in the red zone.
Although the toxicity of the disillusionment is strong, it cannot kill the fungal carpet. It can only slow down its growth rate, allowing the fungal carpet to focus its main strength on dealing with the disillusionment virus, thus creating a kind of inertia to the outside world.
But the disillusionment virus is not omnipotent. The red zone is developing a drug resistance to this virus, which makes the disillusionment virus gradually lose its effect. This is also why some alien beasts in the red zone will gradually become active and organize patrols to patrol their territories. Although they are not too aggressive, the practice of patrolling the territory is enough to show that the disillusionment virus is losing its effectiveness.
Li Meng does not know when this unnatural balance between humans and alien beasts will be broken, but Li Meng knows that there is not much time left for Black Flag City, and he cannot put his hope on the "disillusionment" virus of the new humans.
With a sigh in his heart, Li Meng put aside his wild thoughts and said, "Come back."
In the next few days, they will stay in Wuhan City and search within a radius of 30 kilometers.
Li Meng didn't know how many people survived in this land of China, but he hoped that more people were alive.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually darkened.
On the edge of the western suburbs of Wuhan City, on the road between low buildings, two huge mobile vehicles moved slowly forward. Wherever they passed, the roar of the engine "clang clang" echoed the world, steam rose from the chimney, and the rotating tracks raised bursts of snow.
"Mayor, what should we do now?"
Standing on the deck, holding the guardrail with both hands, Bald Old Five had a gloomy face, and I don't know what he was thinking.
It has been several hours, but until now, when Bald Old Five thought of the scene a few hours ago, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Old Three, he would die.
Thinking of the culprit who caused all this, Bald Old Five held the guardrail tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth and said: "Old Two, Old Four, Old Five, I won't let them die in vain, I won't..."
What does the mayor want to do?
A subordinate behind Bald Old Five had only worry on his face. He said carefully: "Mayor, so many people died. With our strength, we are definitely not the opponent of those new humans. We should take this loss. The mayor still has us. We will make back what we lost."
Yes, with their strength alone, they are definitely not the opponent of those new humans, but Bald Old Five didn't want to swallow this loss so easily. He wanted to do something. Yes, he must do something.
His fat face was uncertain, and Bald Old Five fell into thinking.
"I got it."
His eyes lit up, Bald Old Five smiled grimly, and he had an idea in his mind.
"Let's go to Xiangyang City..."
On the snowy road, two huge mobile vehicles gradually went away one after the other, and finally disappeared at the end of the snowy road.
As the last ray of light left, the darkest night came in the ice and snow of the north.
On the east bank of the river in Wuhan City, the long "White Whale" land vehicle was parked close to the shore.
Sitting upright in the co-pilot seat, Li Meng quietly looked at the pitch-black darkness outside and listened to the whistling wind.
The wind outside was very strong, and the snowflakes hitting the car body made a "dong dong" sound.
After a not-so-delicious dinner, the mercenaries gathered in the carriage in twos and threes, talking, and taking off their helmets.
The "White Whale" land vehicle has an air filtration system. After filtering the air, the helmet can be taken off in the car.
Listening to the chattering of his companions in the back compartment, Li Meng retracted his sight from the window and looked at Zhao Hongwen in the driver's seat, saying, "Zhao Hongwen, why do you want to be a mercenary?"
Why?
The sudden question from the captain made Zhao Hongwen stunned. He thought about it and said, "I don't know. Maybe I'm used to the hard life in the past. Life in Black Flag City is too comfortable. It was okay at the beginning. I felt that I finally had a good life, but in the end I found that such a life was not suitable for me. Before becoming a mercenary, I changed a lot of jobs, but I didn't find that sense of belonging. I always felt dissatisfied. When I got the mercenary license, I knew what I wanted."
The spirit of adventure?
Li Meng turned his head slightly and looked at Wei Qiunan who was sitting in the seat behind the driver.
Wei Qiunan could hear the captain and her husband's words. Seeing the captain looking at her, Wei Qiunan smiled slightly and nodded.
Facing Wei Qiunan's smile, Li Meng withdrew his gaze from her and looked at Zhao Hongwen again, saying: "Mercenary is not a safe profession, and it is full of risks. In this team, Wei Qiunan is your wife, Zhao Yufang and Zhao Yuyan are your sisters. When I first knew about your relationship, I was shocked. It is not an easy decision for the whole family to become mercenaries."
