This is a place where fuel is stored, and the tent smells like diesel.

As soon as Lin Ye walked in, he saw two soldiers, a man and a woman, tied to oil drums.

The clothes are the same as the corpses outside, and he should belong to a certain field regiment.

Both men's heads were wrapped in black clothes, and their mouths were wrapped with tape several times.

When they heard someone coming in, they both sat upright and became alert.

Lin Ye slung the shotgun behind him, pulled out a short knife, stepped forward and cut the ropes around the two men, then took off their clothes and pulled off the tape.

Immediately there was a wail in the tent.

The woman in the back suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Lin Ye fiercely.

But when she noticed the tactical uniform on the other party, the anger in her eyes instantly diminished a bit:

"Which army are you from?"

"Troop?" Lin Ye followed her gaze and suddenly realized.

Hey, he doesn't have any troops, he's just a single man, and all the equipment he has is provided by the military for free.

In the silence, the woman's burning eyes made cold sweat break out on his back.

Lin Ye could only cough lightly and take out a badge from his arms. This is the status symbol of a senior military officer and a token of the crisis response team.

He said with a serious expression: "Military secrets must not be leaked, please forgive me!"

Without giving the woman a chance to continue asking questions, he smiled and performed a military salute:

"My name is Lin Ye!"

The woman standing opposite obviously didn't believe what he said, but she still responded: "Nan Xiao!"

The man who had been standing behind him also walked up at this time.

He finished the military salute and smiled lightly: "Cheng Bei!"

After taking the injured two people out of the tent, Qin Lie stepped forward to bandage their wounds. Lin Ye also asked about the situation at the stronghold:

"What happened here? Why are you two tied up here?"

When this matter was mentioned, Nan Xiao was so angry that she stamped her feet: "We were attacked by survivors!"

After a few minutes of brief narration, Lin Ye finally understood the whole story:

It turned out that three regiments with nearly 5,000 people were originally stationed in this temporary stronghold. After defeating the last wave of zombies last night, they began to prepare to evacuate according to the original plan.

At about three o'clock in the morning, most of the troops had gone, leaving only one battalion in the rear. However, at this time, the reconnaissance team that had not returned on time came back.

Behind the group were a group of survivors, twenty-six people in total.

The camp decided to send a small team to evacuate with the survivors first, but this group of unknown people used some method to attract a wave of zombies.

Everyone was sorting out their equipment at the time, and only a few people were keeping watch, so the sudden wave of corpses directly crossed the defense line and rushed into the stronghold.

Nan Xiao's team originally had more than ten people, but most of them died in the breakout.

If the captain hadn't rushed into the zombies with a grenade and detonated the oil drums placed in the stronghold, she and Cheng Bei would not have survived at all.

However, even though they escaped the tide of corpses, the two of them were still captured by the remaining survivors.

Lin Ye took off his bulletproof helmet and scratched his forehead repeatedly:

"I don't understand this. Those people want to take over the stronghold as their own?"

Nan Xiao shook her head and denied it. She told about the torture situation at that time:

"These people asked us about the troops' evacuation plan and matters related to the inland defense line, but these are all secrets and we don't know it ourselves!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye was suddenly shocked.

Evacuation plan? Where did these civilians learn about these things?

He didn't have time to think too much, and immediately rushed back to the camp with a gun, only to find that the number of corpses lying on the ground seemed to have decreased.

There were originally a few pools of dark red blood on the ground, but now they all turned into light yellow and were still evaporating rapidly.

"No, it's impossible!"

Lin Ye stared at the liquid and kept repeating.

This was the first time since his rebirth that he showed such a frightened expression.

Because the civilians who disappeared were neither zombies nor high-level walking zombies, but silicon-based life forms that would only appear in the later stages of the disaster.

Not only can they imitate human appearance, language, and even pure local accents, but the liquid silicon flowing in their bodies can be temporarily converted into a blood-like substance.

Apart from disemboweling it, there is no way to distinguish it in a short time.

Moreover, these silicon-based life forms are also the most troublesome existence in the doomsday disaster.

Although the human federation has specific detection methods, they can still easily penetrate into the core areas of human cities and cause extremely serious damage.

Judging from the current situation, silicon-based life not only appeared in advance of the disaster, but was also clearly prepared.

A strange but terrifying thought suddenly slipped through Lin Ye's mind. He stood up slowly, his pupils trembling.

Perhaps, these silicon-based creatures did not appear in the later stages of the catastrophe, but came to Blue Star at the beginning of the catastrophe, but they have just been dormant in the dark and have not yet shown their fangs.

He thought of the uninterrupted human civil war in the apocalypse, and his heart went crazy.

Lin Ye didn't care whether this idea had any basis or not. He quickly tore open his body armor and took out a black micro-satellite phone from the lining pocket of his tactical uniform.

I dialed the only number above and waited for a few seconds before someone on the other side picked up:

"Dawn Project, Lin Ye!"

"Level 2 emergency!"

"Please conduct special skin tests on all residents who enter the defense line as soon as possible! The reagent uses a strong alkaline solution. Once the skin is found to be melted, please imprison the relevant subjects immediately!"

A Level 2 emergency indicates spy infiltration and the situation is particularly serious.

Based on the behavior of these silicon-based creatures, Lin Ye believed that they had not yet sneaked into the inland defense line and were still wandering in the blockade area.

The reason why a strong alkaline solution is used as a reagent is that it only causes burns to human skin, but will quickly dissolve the body of silicon-based organisms. It is a relatively simple and efficient method of identification.

After explaining the situation, the other party gave a simple reply and quickly hung up the phone.

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered the two soldiers outside the tent, so he quickly picked up his gun and walked out.

At this time, Qin Lie was dressing the wounds of the two people outside.

Lin Ye did not take any drastic action, but stepped forward to observe their wounds. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the solidified dark brown blood scabs.

No matter how disguised silicon-based organisms are, they cannot simulate human cell structure.

He looked at the two of them and focused his gaze. Their attribute panels appeared in the holographic projection:

[Stranger: Nan Xiao]

【Age:23】

[Physique: 10]

【Strength:11】

【Wisdom:14】

【Command:7】

[Occupation: None]

[Skill: None]

.

[Stranger: Cheng Bei]

【Age:21】

[Physique: 9]

【Strength:17】

【Wisdom:10】

【Command: 5】

[Occupation: None]

[Skill: None]

It's not bad, and the attributes are also normal. If they are silicon-based creatures that can't be killed by bullets, their physiques are at least 100 or more.

Lin Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to search elsewhere when he caught a glimpse of a tall gray-black figure from the corner of his eye, flashing past among the ruins of buildings outside the stronghold.

He originally wanted to catch up, but he didn't expect a strange buzzing sound to be heard around the stronghold, followed by bursts of screams.

Those were the zombies that were surrounding them. Judging from the dense sounds, their number was comparable to the previous zombie waves.

Lin Ye glanced at the direction in which the silicon-based creatures were leaving, spat, and then quickly ran to the other three people and roared:

"Get in the car with me!"
