The soldier's answer did not provoke any mockery. Just now, they all felt the ground shake. Although it was not very strong, everyone felt it clearly. They thought it was an earthquake, but combined with the faint sound, it might really be the sound of an explosion.
"Captain, is it Cao Lidong's company that caused this commotion?"
Just when the sick captain was hesitating, a small officer walked to him and whispered. The captain looked at his deputy captain and hesitated, then shook his head and said, "Impossible. We have found the remains of more than 30 soldiers of the search company. If this continues, they will only get weaker and weaker, and it is impossible for them to have any combat power. They should be dead by now …"
Hearing the captain's words, the deputy captain's eyes flashed. He wanted to speak, but was stopped by the captain. The captain looked at the deputy captain and said,
"I know what you want to say. Some things can't be said. It's not our turn to comment on what the higher-ups think. We just need to follow the path taken by the search company and find a passage to complete the mission. As long as we can return, we are heroes. As for the life and death of others, it's not our turn to worry."
The deputy captain did not say anything in the end. He let out a long sigh and put the search company's matter aside. He said cautiously,
"Ordos City is a hundred kilometers away. Ordos City is the main goal of this trip. Do you think it's the movement of the survivors around Ordos City?"
The captain looked at the deputy captain's flashing eyes in surprise. He pretended to agree and said, "Well, it's possible.
Maybe we can get in touch with them and ask them to help us open a passage. By then, when our main force appears … "
The captain's meaning was self-evident. The deputy captain did not object. He turned to the back of the team and asked the soldiers to speed up. Looking at the deputy captain's back, the captain asked the soldier in a low voice, "Did Luo Jitao find anything?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then said,
"I have been monitoring them these days. So far, they haven't found anything. However, if we really get in touch with the people over there, they will definitely be suspicious. After all, we …"
The leader stopped the soldier from talking and led him to a place far away from the team, pretending to let the soldier contact the rear. He squatted down beside the soldier and said, "Some things don't need to be said. Your superpower is Clairvoyant, and the posthumans in the team have all kinds of weird superpowers. Who knows if they have similar superpowers?
You just need to keep an eye on Luo Jitao and the others. The main thing is what they said behind my back … "
Just as the captain was giving instructions to the signalman, he suddenly froze. His expression did not change at all as he raised his hand and instructed the scout, "Don't leave for too long. Go and keep an eye on that side now. Once this mission is completed, you'll be rewarded. I'll leave the woman from the art troupe for you. Go …"
The messenger returned to the team with a thousand thanks, but the team leader's face turned gloomy. He quickly stood up, looked around, and suddenly disappeared into the bushes.
In a secluded area one kilometer away from the team, the team leader crouched on the ground and rummaged through his backpack. Not long after, an old-looking phone with a huge antenna appeared in his hand.
Pulling off the antenna, the captain dialed a long number. Not long after, a woman's voice came from the satellite phone.
"China region, Northern Infiltrator No.13?"
Hearing the question, the captain immediately became serious. He carefully looked around and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm No.13 from the infiltration team …"
"We've learned that the Silver Stream Plain is ruled by the grassland army. The grassland army is now besieging Ordos City, which is the target of your mission. The commanding officer of the Asian region has given you a new order to contact Zhang Xiaoqiang, Shi Yuanye, and Zhao Jun of the grassland army. In addition … get in touch with the spy of the grassland army. He will come to you …"
As soon as the woman's voice fell, No.13, who had not yet figured out the specific situation, could not help but ask,
"What is the purpose of me contacting them …"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Once you complete this mission, you and your family will enter the Garden of Eden. If you fail, you should know the consequences …"
"Beep …"
The satellite phone flickered and rang the busy tone. No.13, who was holding the satellite phone, stared at the sky in a daze. The Garden of Eden was a place that every infiltrator wanted to go. There were no zombies, no hunger, no killing, endless food, all kinds of luxuries that one could imagine, and beautiful women of all skin colors and nationalities. As long as you wanted it, you could find it there. You could even eat grilled steak and hot pot for every meal there.
The reason why No.13 became an infiltrator was that he was introduced by others. The satellite phone that could communicate with all parts of the world, a large number of materials and luxuries, and all kinds of powerful means showed how powerful the organization he worked for was. While these people enjoyed the various benefits provided by the organization, they were also deeply afraid of the organization.
It was not that no one thought of betrayal. They all knew the fate of betrayers. The organization used some unknown means, but as long as they wanted to tell others something, it would immediately get stuck in their throats. Not only could they not say it, they could not even write it down. No one knew when they had been tampered with.
Once this happened, the organization would immediately warn them. If three consecutive warnings were ineffective, that person would disappear, truly disappear. No one would remember him. Not only that person's boss, friends, wife, children, no one would remember him. Only people like them would not have their memories of that person erased because they needed a warning …
"This is troublesome. I don't know what kind of person Zhang Xiaoqiang is. I hope he's just an ordinary person.
How about this … "No.13 was still muttering to himself as he packed up his things. Suddenly, a warning flashed in his mind and he immediately rolled away from the spot. Immediately, a gust of wind brought along a stench.
Without thinking, No.13 shouted and threw out a handful of steel balls. The moment the scattered steel balls left his hand, they formed a barrier that surrounded him. A dark and skinny S2 zombie screeched as it was bounced to the side by the spinning steel balls. Before it landed on the ground, dozens of steel balls struck its body, instantly piercing more than ten holes. The power of the steel balls was so great that almost every steel ball pierced through the S2 zombie.
The S2 trembled and retreated, but the steel balls that pierced through it did not scatter. Instead, they strangely stopped moving and then bounced back, piercing through the S2's body once again.
The S2 kept trembling. The steel balls had already turned invisible, and their speed became faster and faster. They repeatedly pierced through the S2's body, and with a bang, the S2's body exploded, turning into fragments that fell to the ground.
"Hu …"
No.13 took a deep breath and took out a camera to take a picture of the S2. According to the rules of the Northern Army, as long as it was proven that a type 2 zombie had been killed, there would be a relatively generous reward. It was also a way for the Northern Army to control the effectiveness of the evolvers …
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know that there was a small army approaching him from the direction that Cao Lidong's company had come from. At this moment, he was carrying Meow through the dust cloud.
The distance was too far, and no one knew the exact situation at the center of the explosion. After the dust cloud rose, it did not dissipate. The aerial reconnaissance was faced with the dark dust cloud, and it was impossible for them to capture the situation on the ground. Only from the ground could they understand the exact losses of the 100,000 zombies.
No one knew how the malfunction was removed. The aerial reconnaissance's field of view was very small, and with more than a hundred people spread out over a few kilometers, it was impossible to cover everything. The most images in the combat room were of the soldiers firing the grenades before they were eaten by the zombies.
At the moment of the explosion, no one realized what had happened. A cloud of dust filled the air, covering all the cameras. Therefore, no one realized how the malfunction had been removed.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Meow approached the edge of the area. There, a thick layer of dust floated on the ground, and many curled up human figures were covered by the dust. Looking at it, the wide ground was like a carpet that was flattened by the dust, and the human figures were the small protrusions on the carpet.
Tens of thousands of humanoid figures were intertwined in the dust, most of them were stationary, but there were a few zombies that were still struggling. These were all S2 zombies, and when the shockwave of the explosion reached them, most of the zombies had their skulls shattered by the shockwave of the explosion. There were a few zombies that managed to escape, but although their vitals were unharmed, most of the bones in their bodies were shattered.
