Chapter 14: Chapter 12
Seeing such a miserable scene, Sarah buried her head on Brian's shoulder and couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Brian was extremely shocked as he recalled the scene just now. He saw that the bullet had hit the head of the infected person, but the weird fungus actually blocked the bullet, in the end, the fungus also destroyed it, but its bulletproof feature still made him feel uneasy.
Even though the fungus only covers half of the head now, what if it can wrap the entire head or the entire body in the future? How terrifying would it be if any other weird abilities were derived?
Thinking about this, Brian realized more and more that he couldn't stay here any longer. Although it was certainly not a good place to go in the city, it was still much better than facing these monsters here.
"Come on, let's find a car quickly and get out of here."
With that said, Brian patted Sarah on the shoulder, then took her little hand and rushed towards the northern part of the town.
.....
On the highway, hundreds of kilometers away from the town, dozens of military-armed trucks were driving at high speed. A sign in front of the convoy read, "325 kilometers to Austin."
There are more than a dozen fully armed soldiers sitting in a row behind each truck. They sit back and relax with their eyes closed, adjusting their mental and physical fitness to the best condition for the next mission.
In an armed truck in the middle of the convoy, a soldier sitting in the co-pilot's seat opened a small iron window behind the connecting vehicle after seeing the "Passing By" sign. At this moment, several people were sitting around a map, discussing the next action plan. He said to one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a special combat uniform: "Sir, we are still half a day away from the destination. If we continue driving at this speed, we will reach the nearest town before 7 o'clock."
"Okay, I understand." The middle-aged man didn't even raise his head after hearing this. He kept looking at the map. He just nodded slightly to show that he already understood.
The soldier didn't say anything when he saw it. He closed the small iron window, sat back in the passenger seat, and continued to observe the situation on the road.
In the back compartment, the middle-aged man wearing a special combat uniform raised his head looked at the soldiers in front of him, and said, "Okay, we are about to reach our destination. You should have understood the battle plan just now. I understand, but the most important thing I hope you remember is that the success or failure of this mission is related to the survival of the country, so we can only succeed!"
"As you command, sir!"
Several soldiers sitting next to them looked solemn after hearing this. They understood that this operation was of great importance, and they responded in unison with determination in their eyes.
Nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged man continued, "We will arrive at the small town outside Austin at 7 o'clock. We will settle outside for one night. Tomorrow morning, you will lead your respective teams to clear the streets in order. We will be there to Build fortifications and use them as a stronghold to clear the outside world gradually."
After saying this, the middle-aged man stopped abruptly. After a moment of silence, he issued an order that surprised everyone. He said, "Eliminate all survivors and infected people without distinction."
"..."
Hearing this, the captains were all shocked. They looked at each other, and for a moment, the car fell into a brief silence.
"I know what you're thinking."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, the middle-aged man sighed, patted the shoulder of a captain next to him, and said, "No one is willing to do this, but I hope you understand that our country is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, and only by eliminating the infected people in the infected area can this crisis be solved. We can no longer take care of the people inside."
After a while, the convoy slowly stopped for repairs. The captain in the carriage got out of the car and went back to his team to explain the purpose of the operation. The carriage was empty, and the middle-aged man was weak. He leaned back, thinking about the shocking secret his superior told him before setting off.
"This time your mission to Austin is to eliminate everyone in this city, but you must deliberately let some survivors go and let them live in the isolation camp. I will arrange for reporters to expose this matter. You don't have to look at me like this. I know what you are thinking. To tell you the truth, it has been almost half a month since the outbreak of fungus, but now we are all making no progress in developing a vaccine, but you know, So far, the number of infected people has reached an astonishing number."
"We can no longer blindly wait for the day when a vaccine is developed. Our parliament has proposed to build large quarantine zones in every city to ensure the safety of our country's citizens as much as possible, but these damn bureaucrats are still doing it. There is no voting, so we have to find a way ourselves. We have reached a consensus with the top military officials. Once the plan for indiscriminate elimination of infected areas is exposed, the Federal Disaster Relief Agency and the military will directly take action and remove the entire bureaucracy. so that the law can be effectively implemented. Only in this way can we save our country, do you understand?"
Recalling every word, the middle-aged man's face was full of exhaustion. These secrets were weighing on his heart and made him breathless, but he couldn't say them out. He knew that someone must be watching his every move here, so I could only hold these words in my heart and keep telling himself that this was right!
.....
afternoon.
The northern outskirts of the town.
Brian stood on top of the security booth, stretched his head through the iron fence, and kept looking inside. It wasn't until his neck became sore that he pulled back and rested for a while. He rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable neck and complained, "Are you there?"
"It's wrong; why are there so many factories here, and they don't have any signs on them? Who knows where they are?"
Although he said this, Brian knew in his heart that there was no steel factory here. It was obvious that some criminals were hiding or trading nearby. The so-called steel factory was probably just another name.
"Then what should we do? Do we have to go in and search one by one?"
After listening to Brian's words, Sarah, who was standing below, was also a little troubled. She looked around at several factories around her, trying to find some other clues to determine which factory they were looking for.
But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any clues. Just when she was about to give up, her eyes suddenly glanced at a place full of scrap cars, and she suddenly froze there. Then she couldn't believe it, and she rubbed her eyes, She pointed excitedly and said, "Look, there!"
He suddenly sighed: "It's amazing; you can even see this."
"That's right, you don't even know who I am!" Sarah was very pleased with Brian's compliment. She raised her little face and smiled proudly at him.
Then the two of them walked towards the scrap car processing plant. The fence door was not locked, so they pushed the door open and entered.
But they didn't look for the locked car (said in the letter) outside. The two looked at each other and walked into the factory with the door closed.
However, as they approached, the large character written in red paint on the door stopped the two of them. Sarah looked at the word above and slowly read out, "There is a monster; don't open the door!"
Looking at the big red letters on the door, Brian's head drooped instantly, and he couldn't help but complain: "Damn, did I make a mistake? I'm really afraid of what will happen. Are we playing a game?"
Seeing Brian's appearance, Sarah rolled her eyes, gave him a hard poke with her elbow, and said, "Okay, stop complaining, and think of a solution quickly."
Looking to the left and right, Brian pondered for a while and said to Sarah, "The door must not be opened. We don't know how many infected people are inside now. If we open the door rashly, who knows what will be inside?" How many infected people will escape?"
Then he pointed to the left and right sides and continued, "Let's walk around this factory first and see if we can find another place to enter. Pay attention to the surrounding conditions and be careful that there must be other infected people nearby. ."
"Yeah." Sarah nodded after hearing this, picked up an iron pipe next to her, stood up, and saw Brian walking towards the side of the road. The road was covered with weeds, and dense bushes would be very dangerous if an infected person hid inside.
In comparison, the road on the left looked very spacious. It looked like there should be vehicles coming in and out frequently. The dirt was full of tire marks. Sarah knew that Brian was deliberately taking care of her, so she didn't say anything more. Just kept in mind silently, and then walk towards the left side.
But just after the two of them disappeared around the corner on both sides of the left side, a low roar of "hissing" suddenly came from inside the original quiet door.
