From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 722
Chapter 722 Trap
Ten military cards rumbled out of the barracks. Chen Guangda thought that the convoy would leave the city directly, but he dived into two underground tunnels in the main square. These two tunnels were used for emergency evacuation. Chen Guangda really forgot to ask where they would lead.
The tunnels weren’t very wide, A military truck the size of a dregs truck was forced into the cave. The cave was not made of concrete or prefabricated slab structures, but made of bricks and rocks. Many places were supported by steel, and the leakage was quite serious. However, in this year and month, it was impossible to pay much attention to it. Everything had to be based on living first.
This fellow drove for at least five to six kilometers. Under normal circumstances, even if he encountered a million corpse tide, he would still be able to escape. The road was also dug through two exits with human defense doors. The convoy did not stop until the third exit. However, this was far from the end of the tunnel. It was estimated that there was still a long way to go.
“Niudushan Reservoir …”
Chen Guangda looked curiously at the sign at the exit. Slogans with wartime characteristics were still hanging on it. However, it had changed from preparing for war to a more pragmatic slogan, “For the country, for the family, for yourself.” However, the military card did not continue to drive upwards. Following Snob Wang’s order, the soldiers jumped out of the car and ran out of the tunnel in unison.
After leaving, he quickly arrived at a mountain forest, From afar, he could see a rippling reservoir surrounded by small hills. At first, Chen Guangda did not understand what this place was for. The groundwater in Cloud Mist City was clean and unpolluted. It was enough for the basic livelihood of the residents. Even if it was irrigated, there was no need to specially send people to guard the reservoir.
“Don’t stretch out your hand! If you stretch out your hand, you will be caught …”
Chen Guangda suddenly saw a warning sign. There were many fish rafts on the water ahead. This was obviously a shrimp and crab farm, and there were probably many shellfish. These things were even more valuable than gold. Two or three crabs could go to Flower Street to find a little beauty. Most people were willing to take risks to steal from this place.
“Captain …”
A group of soldiers hurriedly came up from the reservoir, but Snob Wang stepped forward and ripped off the shoulder of the leader of the platoon. He cursed angrily, “What are you guys doing? Don’t you know that a platoon leader has lost a living person? Don’t do it for me, platoon leader! Get back in solitary confinement now!”
“It really has nothing to do with us. They said they were going to catch some locusts on the East Mountain to open up the meat. However, none of them came back after they left. I can’t care about the second row of them …”
The fifth platoon leader looked at Snob Wang with a mournful expression. There were other squadrons of soldiers secretly laughing, but Snob Wang undoubtedly waved his hand and told him to scram. He then shouted loudly, “Yang Man leads the 13th or 4th platoon to the Southern Mountain, Lin Zhiling leads the 6th or 7th platoons to the Northern Mountain, and the rest follow me to the East Mountain. Call immediately when you find them. Be careful on the way!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers immediately shouted out in unison. They quickly split into three teams and ran towards the three mountains. Chen Guangda instinctively looked at Snob Wang, who was heading towards the East Mountain. This fellow did not seem to be abnormal. He led a group of people to run very quickly. However, He Wei, the leader of his first row of dog legs, was separated from Chen Guangda and the others.
“Everyone, be careful. It’s not simple for more than 20 people to suddenly disappear. It’s very likely that they encountered a high-grade living corpse like a big-headed living corpse …”
Yang Man led the group with a serious expression. The three platoons followed behind him. However, the platoon leader, He Wei, said disdainfully, “Vice Captain Yang! Don’t be alarmist. The Big-headed Ghost is something that only the War God and the others have seen. It’s a Corpse that’s even rarer than a giant panda. How could it be so easy for us to encounter it?”
“Then tell me how the people in the second row disappeared out of thin air …”
Yang Man turned around and glared at He Wei angrily. He Wei smiled contemptuously and didn’t respond. After everyone arrived at the mountainside, he took out his flashlight and said, “Captain, let’s split up the three platoons. Otherwise, we won’t be able to find such a large mountain until tomorrow morning. We’ll be responsible for searching the left side!”
Without waiting for Yang Man to agree, He Wei quickly took his platoon of soldiers to the left. The remaining four rows of people actually didn’t say anything. They raised their lightning and searched to the right, completely ignoring Yang Man, the vice captain of the squadron. Yang Man’s face turned ashen with anger.
“Looks like Snob Wang can’t wait to attack us …”
Chen Guangda lit up a cigarette and smiled gently. Everyone was stunned by what he said. He spat out a mouthful of smoke and said, “Everyone knows that the final elimination of the cadres will be replaced by an outstanding subordinate. I just happened to see Snob Wang’s points earlier. He has the lowest points among the four squadron leaders, and the next highest point is Yang Man!”
“Do you think this is a trap …”
Monk Hua hurriedly stepped forward and stared at him, but Chen Guangda shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m not sure, but if it weren’t for the row of living people trapped in the trap, how could they have disappeared out of thin air, just like Yang Man said just now, unless they encountered a big-headed ghost, but if there really was a big-headed ghost, everyone here would have died long ago!”
“A trap is a trap. Who’s afraid of who? It’s not like we don’t have one either. Ah, mom ~ There’s no gun …”
Brother Gou’s expression changed before he could finish his sentence. One of the platoon members didn’t even have a small pistol. He only had a training spear in his hand. Monk Hua also said with an ugly expression, “It would be terrible if someone really ambushed us. Wait for the turtle son to shoot us to death before throwing us to the living corpse. We’ll have a dead end!”
“Impossible! No matter how vicious Snob Wang is, he wouldn’t be so crazy. If we were all dead, the Military Department would definitely send people to investigate. As long as we reveal any clues, he would be doomed …”
Yang Man frowned and gently shook her head. A few people also thought that she was right. Chen Guangda could only spread out his hands and said, “Alright then! Since you said so, let’s continue on our journey. I hope that Snob Wang’s character is really as high as you said. Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble tonight!”
“No, let’s just stay here. There are still so many people looking for us anyway …”
Liu Wenna tugged at Chen Guangda with a face full of fear, Even if she had dragon scale armor on her body, she couldn’t stop her head. However, Yang Man couldn’t help but walk up the mountain. Liu Wenna could only follow her with fear. However, she couldn’t even see a single footprint in the pitch-black forest. Occasionally, she could hear strange noises. Even the veterans couldn’t help but become nervous.
“Wait! It smells like blood …”
Chen Guangda suddenly stopped and raised his head. Most people might not be able to distinguish what the smell of blood was, but this smell was extremely sensitive to them. Yang Man immediately made a gesture to disperse everyone. Everyone’s flashlights were also nimbly switched to a dim light state.
“Later, let’s gather some money to buy a few Corpse Claw Spears on the street. This thing is too insecure …”
Chen Guangda nodded the standard spear in his hand. Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. However, they suddenly heard a wave of laughter. Everyone was shocked. They immediately turned to look at Liu Wenna. However, Liu Wenna said anxiously, “It’s not that I’m laughing. It’s not that I have a brain problem!”
“Holy shit! I’ve met a big guy …”
Chen Guangda looked around seriously. The ones who could laugh were basically high-grade living corpses. However, after the other party finished laughing, he could no longer hear a single sound. Chen Guangda could only slowly walk upwards. Soon, he saw a few bloody corpses appear in front of him. All of them were pulled out of their intestines and hung on a tree.
“It’s the people from the second row …”
Yang Man subconsciously cried out in alarm. He hurriedly lit up the flashlight and prepared to rush forward to check. However, Chen Guangda suddenly grabbed her and pointed at the ground in front of her with a fierce expression. When Yang Man shone the flashlight suspiciously, he was immediately shocked and broke out in cold sweat. There was actually a strange thunder hanging between the two trees.
“Don’t be rash. I told you this was a trap …”
Chen Guangda pushed her back heavily. Yang Man’s face turned pale and he bit his lips. Chen Guangda then went forward to remove the simple grenade. He took it in his hand and flipped it around. Yang Man immediately said angrily, “It’s a grenade made by our arsenal. No outsider can get it. Snob Wang is really crazy!”
“Don’t jump to conclusions too early. Remember that you are now a squadron leader. Every word and deed of yours will affect the warriors’ judgments …”
Chen Guangda pointed at her without turning his head. This was purely due to his instinctive reaction, but everyone was surprised. Chen Guangda’s tone was clearly a habit of giving orders for a long time. After arriving here, he was completely different. Yang Man bit her red lips and stared at him, not knowing what she was thinking.
“What kind of food did you eat? Why do you only eat your internal organs and not your head …”
Everyone gathered around the corpses and stared strangely at the bloody corpses. Unexpectedly, Liu Wenna spat out with a “nausea” sound. Several recruits also immediately vomited along with her. However, Chen Guangda directly walked up to the corpses and looked at them carefully. Suddenly, he shouted, “Damn it! It’s a mutant! Let’s go!”
“I can’t leave …”
Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from below. Three black shadows suddenly pounced over from the treetops. Their speed did not give anyone time to react. The three warriors were instantly thrown to the ground by them. The iron spears that they instinctively stabbed out made only a muffled sound, but they were unable to pierce through their bodies at all.
“Pfff …”
Following the sound of three flesh-banging sounds, the three mutants suddenly spat out three long tongues that pierced through the throats of the soldiers like snake venom. One of them was a veteran of the monk class. Monk Hua immediately roared like a madman and threw a mutant to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the other party’s reaction was also extremely fast. A poisonous tongue shot out like a bolt of lightning actually turned around and directly bit Monk Hua’s shoulder. Monk Hua ignored it and went up with an old fist. However, he suddenly stopped like a log and fell straight back. Even Guo Xinxin, who was bitten by it, rolled down the mountain like Monk Hua.
