Corrupted Nation

The next morning, everyone in the team continued to eat canned food because they were worried that the cooking smell would be too strong. The little girl gave Lin Wu a piece of luncheon meat. Lin Wu took a look at the shelf life. It was awesome, it had a shelf life of 20 years. The little girl explained that this was a batch of strategic storage materials.

The little girl doesn't talk much, but she likes to sit next to Lin Wu and listen to Lin Wu bragging. This made Lin Wu sigh inwardly, why is it so difficult to find a girl in reality? Either there are evil scientists dedicated to inventing the perfect girlfriend, but it’s probably because in reality there is no girlfriend.

A nightmare voice came from the intercom: "Peanut, I saw peanut."

Lin Wu asked: "How does he look?"

Nightmare said: "I don't know. It seems that I just got up and was sitting alone on the bench next to the entrance on the first floor in a daze, looking quietly in front of me."

Maya, who was having dinner together, asked, "Have you seen Cuiyu?"

"I don't have a deep impression of Cuiyu, and I probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him." Nightmare said: "There's no reason. With Peanut's strength, he should join the bandit group's field service, which is Nightmare's truck base. Besides, Starlight is impossible. If you trust the nightmare, you should also put peanuts next to the nightmare.”

Xue Meng picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "If you put Peanut next to Nightmare, Nightmare will find a way to kill Peanut. We still don't know what kind of person he is? He is a combination of arrogance and sinisterness and cannot tolerate others giving him eye drops in front of him." .”

Lin Wu said: "It translates to bravery and intelligence, and a clear distinction between love and hate." Lazyness versus comfort, irritability versus true temperament, stinginess versus thrift, selfishness versus true self, timidity versus caution.

Nightmare said: "They had breakfast, and several people carried gasoline barrels and went out to check the number of zombies in the big pit at the front and back doors. Some people were farming. Only two assault rifles were seen. Some people used air rifles. They were not holding Have you found the code for the underground arms at the Veterans Club? Why is there no movement at all?"

Maya replied: "The risk is too high. The Veterans Club is in the central area of ​​the city. It seems that apart from some equipment obtained previously, the biggest income is the night raid on the logistics park to get a batch of guns and ammunition."

Nightmare said: "Don't tell me, I think Xingguang is playing very well. The people below are doing things in an orderly manner. Although they can't be said to be very active, they are not lifeless. Look at the four people in the open space in Building 2, they are very... serious."

Maya: "How many people are there estimated to be?"

Nightmare watched for a while: "I have seen about 15 people so far. Some people live directly in residential buildings, but they all go to the outdoor kitchen set up next to the library to have breakfast. They also have two dogs, at least two dogs. I It is recommended to raise pigs, pigs will eat anything, they can eat humans, and they should also eat zombies.”

Maya said: "The question is whether we can eat pigs that eat people."

Nightmare replied: "This question should depend on the conditions. In ancient famines, it was normal to exchange children for food. If you can't help but eat people, how can you not eat pigs."

The little girl had already eaten breakfast. She took Lin Wu's gun for disassembly and maintenance, and told Lin Wu how to perform daily maintenance, as well as techniques for cleaning up sand and dust, removing water stains, etc. Xue Meng and Maya also didn't know this knowledge, so they watched with gusto. The little girl assembled the gun and handed it to Lin Wu with a smile.

Xue Meng sighed: Girl, people and ghosts have different paths, so you have to take care of yourself.

The nightmare report from the scout on the sunroom: "There is a truck coming from the south."

This is a shabby-looking truck. If you look closely, you will find that rough techniques have been used to add layers of protection to the truck. The road to the south had been cleared and was just big enough to accommodate a medium-sized box truck. For this reason, the truck was not moving very fast and carefully avoided obstacles on the road. All zombies that blocked the truck's progress were ruthlessly cut off by the truck.

Half of the car's shell is welded to the flat truck's head. The shell is polished to be very sharp. There are two layers of iron mesh between the shell and the front of the truck. There is a spring-like shock absorber in the iron mesh.

The truck was followed by five motorcycles, each with two occupants except one.

The truck arrived at the main entrance of the community, and the back compartment opened. Two men wearing hoods got out of the car, and with the help of the people in the car, they used the power of the gallows to lower an iron plate to form a slope, and then a jeep drove down the slope. People on the motorcycles touched and patted the Jeep and seemed to be full of praise for it.

Everyone covered their faces with masks, so it was impossible to tell who was who. Lin Wu and the others also wore face coverings, not to cover their faces, but to prevent odor. Nowadays, the whole city is like a garbage dump. No matter how long you smell it, you will never get used to it. Many people only take off their face coverings when eating and talking. Of course, there is no need to cover your face in places such as railway bridge bases or libraries where there are no zombies or corpses around.

After putting away the iron plate and closing the rear door, the truck was about to pull aside, but stopped midway. The bandits reopened the rear door, and the two of them worked together to pull out a one-meter-wide wooden board to make a ramp, and the motorcycles all drove up the ramp. Then the people jumped out of the rear compartment, closed the rear compartment door, turned around in front of the truck, and others walked towards the front door of the community.

There is a winch near the big pit at the front door. A man and a woman turn the winch to lower the iron plate. The jeep enters the community through the iron plate. Others followed on foot and greeted each other along the way. It was obvious that everyone was familiar with each other. After a while, the truck driver and the truck's co-driver also entered the community on foot, and then the winch turned and pulled up the iron plate.

Maya asked: "Did the target appear?"

"I saw the starlight." Don't kill the starlight within 24 hours. Nightmare said: "But I haven't seen Nightmare. The bandit gang's field staff are used to wearing masks. They may only take off the masks when they enter the library to have a rest, drink tea and eat. Depending on the situation, they will rest at the library base during the day. .”

"Attention, snipers." Nightmare said: "Starlight is talking to the jeep driver beside the jeep. I guess they are talking about the jeep. They can't tell whether the driver is Nightmare... The driver pulls down his mask... But his back is to us... The driver goes in Yes, MD!"

Sniper Huzi said: "We are basically all here. Count how many people there are in the bandit group?" The sniper rifle observation interface is very small.

Nightmare observed with the telescope for a while, and then replied: "There are currently nearly 30 people showing up, including 12 in the field. They are carrying the supplies brought by the jeep. Wow, it's rice. There are about 20 bags of vacuum-packed rice."

The nightmare was never found, so he continued to wait.

An hour later, three people from the south walked to the main entrance. During this period, they also tried to pry open the trunk of a car on the roadside in search of supplies. When they arrived near the main entrance, they poked their heads in to look inside. At this time, the gate was whistled, and a man in a ghillie suit who was lying on the side of the green bushes stood up and talked to them.

After a while, Peanut rode a motorcycle to the main entrance, and several gunmen appeared on the 10th and 8th floors of nearby Building 1. Peanut asked people to put a small bridge through the big hole, walked to the dilapidated guard box, communicated with the three people for a while, and used a walkie-talkie to communicate with the people inside. Then, the three of them took turns to enter the guard booth and take off their clothes. Peanut checked the backpack, clothes and body, and put the person in if there were no problems.

The three of them arrived at the library one after another, and they were greeted by a girl whom Nightmare didn't recognize. Peanut rode back, put the motorcycle aside, walked to the side of the library, sat on an outdoor bench, picked up the book next to the bench and continued reading, as if the next work had nothing to do with him.

Maya listened to Nightmare's introduction and said: "Peanut doesn't seem to hold a very important job." In the sawmill, Peanut is the deputy commander. His identity is similar to half Maya and half Lin Wu. He is mainly responsible for field operations. Here, he not only has nothing to do with the field service, but also does not even hold any leadership position. His job is to check the physical condition of new applicants and the materials they carry.

Maya came up with a bold idea: "Lin Wu, can we call Husheng's phone and talk to Peanut to see if he can help us kill Nightmare? He doesn't need to take action, as long as he can ask Nightmare to chat outdoors. Just say a few words."

Lin Wu objected: "Starlight and Peanut are a couple, and the bandits were formed by Starlight and Nightmare. This will cause the relationship between Starlight and Peanut to break. Compared to Nightmare, Peanut and I are closer." They were upstairs. We talked without a walkie-talkie.

Maya: "This is about the interests of the team."

Lin Wu: "Since it is related to the interests of the team, personal emotions cannot be used."

These words left Maya speechless. When Lin Wu and Shitou objected to something in principle, there was no way they could be persuaded. The current situation is that within more than an hour, the team had two opportunities to snipe Starlight, but failed to find Nightmare. If Nightmare cannot be killed before two o'clock in the morning, the only one who will die will be Starlight.

The bearded voice came from the intercom: "It cannot be denied that the library base is a fairly well-run community, well organized in all aspects. It is more successful than our veteran base."

Maya took the intercom and asked: "Shaken?"

Beard: "No, it is my obligation to fight against the bandits, and it is my obligation to avenge my comrades. From a selfish point of view, I must protect the Veterans Club arms. God knows how long it will take for this damn zombie virus to subside. We need to consider long-term survival. And The key to long-term survival is arms.”

Nightmare said: "The new interviewees came out and were taken away separately... One of them joined the land reclamation team, one went to Building 3, and another was escorted out."

Two gang members forced a newcomer to leave with pistols. Peanut stood up and walked over to ask a few words, and then the newcomer got on Peanut's motorcycle. Peanut sent her outside the community and gave her a compressed biscuit and a bottle of mineral water. The newcomer seemed to cry. Peanut did not comfort her anymore and drove back to the library by himself.

The newlyweds sat under the shade of a tree near the gate for a while, not knowing what to think. After a while, she took out a nylon rope from her backpack and threw it over the tree trunk, then hung herself under the tree. After receiving the report from the sentry, it was Peanut who handled the matter. He climbed a tree to cut the rope, put the newcomer's body on the back of the motorcycle, drove about 300 meters west, picked up the body, and threw it to the Subway station entrance steps, turn back.

After returning to the base, Peanut stopped reading. He lay down on the bench, covered his face with the book and fell asleep. It seemed that what just happened had a big psychological impact on him.

Starlight entered the sniper scope for the third time. She sat next to Peanut and talked to Peanut. The communication process seemed to be good. In the end, the two shared a piece of chocolate. Starlight left with a smile. Peanut was in a much better mood and continued reading.

"It sounds like true love." Lin Wu said: "If Starlight really loved Peanut, she would not send him on dangerous missions. As a smart person, she knows that feelings affect decision-making, so she does not let Peanut enter the decision-making and leadership positions. Give Peanut a A sinecure is her best option.”

Xue Meng: "Brother, I support you this time. You are right. My sister's family still needs a lazy guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Are you interested?"

Lin Wu smiled and said: "Sister, my stomach has always been good. When one day my stomach fails, I will find you to feed me." Translation: Brother is rich now, so get out of here. When his younger brother is worthless, he will definitely come to his door and beg for support.

Xue Mengxiao: "I'm afraid it won't be your turn then."

Nightmare report: "There are two field staff chatting by the window on the second floor of the library."

Maya asked: "Nightmare?"

Nightmare: "No, that's strange. Where did this grandson go? As long as the nightmare is solved, the bandit group should have lost the idea of ​​external expansion."

Lin Wu: "I still can't understand this. External expansion, plundering, murder and arson are not of much benefit to Nightmare."

Nightmare said: "This is because you don't understand Nightmare. Take a certain task as an example, to send a letter to city B, Xuemeng and I will deliver the letter in the safest, most secure and secretive way. It's different with Nightmare, the letter is not his. The purpose, his purpose is to kill, kill everyone who is eyeing this letter. He kills and robs, but he likes killing and robbing, and it has nothing to do with his own interests."

Nightmare: "But at the same time, he also knows that he has to complete the letter delivery job. If he kills people and robs the Fattening Library Base, the base will provide him with more resources, and he will become more and more bold. Let's put it this way, he never tramples to death Starting with the ants, they will trample all the way to God until he is killed or defeated by one of these creatures.”

However, Huzi did not accept Nightmare's view. From the conversation between Lin Wu and the others, he basically understood the situation of Nightmare and Xingguang. He believes that the threat of Starlight is by no means comparable to that of Nightmare. A person who formulates strategies is worth far more than a person who can fight. Even with such thoughts, Beard still abided by the agreement and did not pull the trigger on Starlight.

The library base is not active during the day, and after the sun goes down, everyone comes out. Several internal staff started cooking in a self-built shed on the side of the library. Others were playing in the nearby small swimming pool, and some were drinking tea and chatting nearby. It seemed that this was a break for all staff.

But this is not the case for the field staff. There are 12 people in the field who are divided into two groups and are undergoing training in the small square of the library. A group of people trained on physical strength, running in circles, doing push-ups, pull-ups, and climbing ropes. A group of people train fighting skills, imaginary enemies are zombies.

Even the bandits are not willing to waste too many bullets on zombies.

At 7:30 in the evening, the street lights around the library were turned on, and dinner officially began. Everyone took their plates and cutlery and lined up in front of the shed to receive the food. Each took their food and found a place to eat. Some people went into the first floor of the library and sat down to eat, while some sat on the floor chatting with friends while eating.

At this time, in addition to Maya and the little girl on duty, Beard and Nightmare also went to the sun room. They had only one purpose: to find Nightmare.

"Does this grandson know that we are coming?" Nightmare asked: "He doesn't show up during the day, he doesn't attend training, and he doesn't see anyone for dinner."

Maya said: "We must not have been discovered, but the situation is indeed wrong. Is Nightmare a person who likes to hide indoors?"

"I didn't hear that."

Maya: "Then there is a big possibility: he is sick or injured. Check to see if there is anyone delivering food."

Nightmare: "We just saw him selecting new players last night, and we didn't see anyone injured in the field today."

Maya: "They have motorcycles. If anyone is injured or feels uncomfortable, they can directly drive the motorcycle back to the library base."
