Chapter 38 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
While Zhang Qiang was cleaning up the scattered zombies, Wang Zhiqiang had already started a car on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang did not waste time and ordered Wang Zhiqiang to drive away. The car rushed out of the encirclement of the zombies, knocked over several zombies, and the whole car body was shaken several times.
The car drove to an open space. Zhang Qiang pointed out their current location to Wang Zhiqiang, and then asked him to drive according to the route, while he lay in the back seat to check the panel.
It cost 5000 points to deploy Wang Zhiqiang. The two of them earned more than 7510 points by killing zombies, and spent some more on purchasing tactical equipment, leaving points on the panel.
Zhang Qiang originally wanted to deploy another legendary special forces soldier, but then he thought better of it.
The panel mall has unlocked new products. A full-body tactical suit like Zimo's needs to cost one thousand points. The heavy bulletproof vest, communication bulletproof helmet, stab-proof black combat uniform, and a large number of top-level bulletproof plates make Zhang Qiang extremely jealous.
This is simply a set of armor for fighting against armed enemies, and once purchased, the panel will be responsible for lifetime repair, but it still requires points.
Each repair kit costs 200 points.
Considering that 100 points could fill up all the guns and ammunition, Zhang Qiang felt that 200 points were too expensive.
But Zhang Qiang still happily clicked to buy, and the various parts of the tactical suit materialized instantly and fell on the back seat. Wang Zhiqiang looked up at the rearview mirror, and after discovering the noise his superior was making in the back seat, he chose to remain silent.
Wang Zhiqiang knew the secret of his superior very well. His will had been modified by the panel, so he would not have any doubts about the matter and it would be kept absolutely confidential.
Zhang Qiang took off his clothes and changed in the back seat. Soon he put on the same equipment as Wang Zhiqiang, except that he wore goggles on his helmet.
Zhang Qiang thought about it, took off the flags on his bulletproof vest and shoulder armor, and put them into the panel warehouse. This flag was of great significance, and it was not appropriate to show it in the United States for the time being, and he was not worthy of wearing this flag.
(As for Wang Zhiqiang, Zhang Qiang also took down his banner, mainly because he was afraid that the book would be censored.
I must thank a certain young master who was not only eating but also ruining the pot, for suggesting that the higher-ups should purify the text in all aspects.)
After Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang drove away, a white man in a beautiful American police uniform stood up from behind the window of an old four-story building on the street.
"What kind of monsters are these two Asians? Kung Fu? Magic...? Their marksmanship... Are they troops from an ancient oriental country?"
The male white police officer fell into suspicion.
In the city of Atlanta, the car driven by Wang Zhiqiang passed through a road full of zombies. Zhang Qiang occasionally leaned out of the car window and fired at the dense swarm of zombies with an MG338 machine gun.
It would be a waste if you don't earn points. After using up the machine gun's spare bullets, he still has spare bullets for other machine guns. Anyway, it's a big profit to kill the zombies after using up all the bullets.
"Die, you idiots!!!"
Zhang Qiang shouted in the car. The feeling of driving and shooting was really exciting. No wonder the American movie "Fast and Furious" was so popular.
The journey was uneventful. Zhang Qiang drove his Wushuang to harvest zombies and earned another 1400 points to replenish his consumption.
Two hours later, Zhang Qiang looked up at the sign on the street. The street name was correct and the CDC was very close.
Thinking of Sofia's claim that the sisters Sevo and Andrea were still alive, Zhang Qiang fell into deep thought. It would be difficult to find them. He had already completed the hidden mission on this trip. If he couldn't find any trace of them after two days, he would have to return to Gran Town.
The car drove for a while and there were fewer and fewer tall buildings on the street. There was no building over 50 meters high within one kilometer of the CDC. Reducing the commanding heights should be a way for the U.S. government to protect the CDC.
Zhang Qiang asked Wang Zhiqiang to stop the car, and the two began to walk. They were surrounded by green trees and lawns, and the road was littered with extremely decayed corpses.
The National Guard and government forces had set up defense lines here. Zhang Qiang saw a large number of simple sandbags filled with sand, some of which were poured with cement, blocking some roads.
"That's a lot of bodies. Sir, what can I do for you?"
Wang Zhiqiang got out of the car and asked for orders.
Zhang Qiang threw him three new extended-capacity magazines and said, "Go around and look for traces of living people. Tell me if you find anything."
The two can communicate through a communication helmet, which is what Zhang Qiang feels most excited about. The communication helmet produced by Panel is connected to a walkie-talkie, which is inserted in the chest pocket of the heavy bulletproof vest.
Panel production, communication distance increased dramatically.
Zhang Qiang gave Wang Zhiqiang two more grenades, two stun grenades, an M9 silenced pistol, and several spare magazines.
After distributing the equipment, the two separated and searched the edge of the CDC.
Walking along the road surrounded by green belts, Zhang Qiang found nothing except densely packed corpses. It was not until he approached the site of the former CDC that Zhang Qiang widened his eyes, shocked by the scene before him.
The giant building of the CDC has been completely destroyed. In the original plot, when Rick and his friends left the CDC, the disinfection mechanism set up inside the center was activated, triggering the hidden thermobaric bomb.
When a thermobaric bomb explodes, it will generate a temperature of over two thousand degrees, forming a giant fireball of high temperature and high pressure at 5-7 times the speed of sound. Rick and his friends were able to escape the range damage of this weapon within a limited time. It can only be said that the protagonist's halo is powerful.
Of course, it may also be that the CDC's thermobaric bomb is not of a high enough magnitude, so it is not effective enough...
At the site of the CDC, Zhang Qiang could not see anything except a huge pit. On the edge of the pit there were remnants of a building steel frame that had melted to only half, and inside the pit there were almost full of charred zombie corpses.
Zhang Qiang judged that after the thermobaric bomb exploded, some zombies were attracted by the flames and sounds and took the initiative to walk into the fire pit to die.
Some of the zombies had been burned to ashes, and the pit was full of black carbon ash and gray-white bone ashes, but at the top of the pit, there were still a large number of zombies with charred bodies that were burned and stuck together, all roaring in a low voice.
"Hmm...uh..."
"Uh…"
The sound was barely audible. These charred corpses were already extremely weak. If Zhang Qiang had not arrived, their death would have been only a matter of time.
Zhang Qiang looked at the pile of charred corpses stuck together. The scope of the corpse pit was extremely large. It was estimated that there were hundreds of charred corpses stuck together. The skin and muscles were burned and could not be separated.
They should be the latecomers. The zombies that came earlier must have turned into the layer of ashes at the bottom of the corpse pit.
The tragic scene before him could not arouse any pity for Zhang Qiang. He had no fear or other emotions towards zombies.
Zhang Qiang took out an RPG rocket launcher from the panel warehouse and bombed the pit of corpses directly.
Chi-Bang! !
The shoulder-launched machine spewed out gunpowder smoke and dust, and the center of the corpse pit exploded. Under the blast effect of the 40mm grenade, the fragile bodies of a large number of charred corpses fell apart, and the black carbonized limbs flew in the dust cloud rising from the pit.
"Sir? What's going on?"
Wang Zhiqiang's questioning voice came from the communication helmet. The explosion alerted him.
"It's okay, you keep searching. I'm going to blast a few more rounds to send some zombies to the west."
Zhang Qiang responded.
They raised their RPGs and continued bombing. After using up the remaining ammunition, explosions were heard in the center of the corpse pit. Ashes and carbon ash were floating in the air, and the area above the corpse pit was shrouded in a haze.
Zhang Qiang could still hear the howling of the charred corpses in the smoke-filled corpse pit. The sound of the explosion drove the survivors crazy, as if the sound represented the food that was tempting them.
"..."
Zhang Qiang remained silent, switched the M4 launcher and aimed it at the corpse pit. When the ammunition in both launchers was used up, Zhang Qiang threw a few more Molotov cocktails in.
The raging flames suddenly burned up into the sky, and the heat wave washed away the ashes that filled the corpse pit.
Zhang Qiang turned and left, ready to continue searching the surroundings with his MCX rifle.
After a while, the roars of the zombies in the corpse pit completely disappeared, and a prompt suddenly came from the panel:
Complete the hidden mission [Find the Mother of Bombs]
[Mother of All Bombs] has been unlocked.
Zhang Qiang, who was still searching for traces of Sewo and his men in the greening woods, suddenly felt shocked.
The mother of all bombs? Is that really the case? ! ! !
He immediately checked the panel.
[Mother of All Bombs]:
Summon an 11-ton TNT equivalent fuel-air bomb to attack the designated location. The required points.
Summon an 11-ton TNT equivalent thermobaric bomb to strike the designated location. Required points.
(You can continue to increase the explosion effect of the Mother of Bombs, and the increase in effect corresponds to 1000 points per ton of TNT equivalent.)
Note: The effect of the Summoning Mother of Bombs series cannot cause damage to loyal friendly forces.
(Favorability above followers)
一枚11吨tnt当量级的温压弹能造成半径140米左右的爆炸冲击波,更能消耗半径300m到500m范围的氧气,将平均氧气浓度降到正常值的1/3!
The killing principles of thermobaric bombs and fuel-air explosives are the same, both rely on high temperature and high pressure to produce killing effects. However, compared with the direct detonation of solid mixed fuel of thermobaric bombs, the method of fuel-air explosives scattering fuel in the air to detonate has more requirements on weather, and therefore the effect is poorer.
Zhang Qiang clenched his fists. The panel was so powerful. He didn't expect that the thermobaric bomb explosion point at the CDC would allow him to complete the hidden mission.
With the Mother of Bombs, when you encounter a zombie siege on a scale as large as a sea of corpses in the future, you only need one thermobaric bomb to solve half of the problem.
The explosion effect of 11 tons of TNT equivalent can flatten a small mountain!
Fortunately, Zhang Qiang was not so cold-blooded as to give up on looking for Sewo and the others, otherwise this hidden mission would have been shelved.
"Sir, I have discovered the situation. I have surrounded a team of American police officers. They are pointing guns at me. I am waiting for the next instruction."
Wang Zhiqiang's voice came from the communication helmet.
Zhang Qiang pressed the intercom on his bulletproof vest and responded, "Where are you? I'll be there right away. If you feel threatened, just shoot them dead."
"I'm near where I parked."
Zhang Qiang started running. The amplifying effects of [Travel Lightly] and [Marathon] made him look like a cheetah, his figure flashing among the green paths.
On the road about 95 meters away from the parking spot, the fully armed Wang Zhiqiang was holding a QBZ rifle and facing a team of American police officers.
This group of police officers, all wearing dark blue uniforms, stood scattered behind the police car, aiming their pistols or shotguns at Wang Zhiqiang.
After Zhang Qiang found Wang Zhiqiang, he switched the MCX rifle in his hand to an RPG launcher.
Want to use the police car as cover? Want to ask the RPG in his hand if it agrees?
Seeing an Asian man who was also fully armed approaching, the two police officers pointed their guns at Zhang Qiang.
"Put down Wu..."
One police officer still had his pre-disaster warning routine, but when he saw the RPG launcher in Zhang Qiang's hand, he fell silent.
Zhang Qiang finished what he hadn't finished saying.
"Lay down your weapons, or die."
Zhang Qiang spoke coldly, staring at the group of American police officers like the god of death. The confrontation was based on the gap in strength between the two sides. The guns in the hands of these white policemen could not even penetrate their bulletproof vests. What qualifications did they have to confront him, Zhang?
"Are you the Army? Or the National Guard?! Put down your weapons! We have a safe place to take you in!"
A middle-aged white policeman guessed the identities of Zhang Qiang and others.
When Zhang Qiang heard the white police officer mention that there was a safe place, an association came to his mind.
If this group of people are decent people, maybe they will take in survivors. Where is their camp? Near the CDC? Have they met Sewo?
Zhang Qiang made up his mind, but still did not put down his weapon. However, the idea given by the white police officer saved the lives of this team of police officers. Zhang Qiang did not fire the RPG after the countdown in his mind ended.
"Let's put down our weapons at the same time so we can exchange information. If you don't accept it, I will open fire."
Zhang Qiang made a suggestion.
After the police car's door opened, the middle-aged white policeman looked at the other police officers. After the disaster, the people in the police force were rather impetuous, but under such an unfair situation, they could only choose to compromise.
As they are all professionals who have been handling guns for many years, they also know that the weapons in their hands cannot penetrate the opponent's bulletproof vests.
"Okok! Calm down!!"
All the police officers who were using the police car as cover stood up and put away their guns. Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang looked at each other, and both of them put their weapons behind their shoulders.
The two sides approached each other, Zhang Qiang walked over and asked directly:
“We are looking for their respective families.
Have you seen a veteran around here?
His left leg was blown off in the war and he wears a prosthetic leg.
There are also a pair of blonde sisters, the younger one had her arm amputated.”
Zhang Qiang's proactive questioning startled the middle-aged white police officer who was leading the police. He originally wanted to introduce himself. He believed that both professions should have the same stance and it would be easy to get Zhang Qiang and others to join the team.
"My name is Jack, are you in the military?"
The middle-aged white police officer asked tentatively.
Zhang Qiang stared into the eyes of the middle-aged white policeman and understood his intention. He used his eyes to hint at the answer the white policeman wanted, and said:
“I’m a Komodo dragon.”
Wang Zhiqiang understood what Zhang Qiang meant and stepped forward and said, "Scorpion."
The white police officer's eyes widened at the names of the two animals, but he quickly figured out where the two people came from. They must be members of a special force. The two people were using their code names.
There are many ethnic groups among the U.S. military.
"Okay, Mr. Komodo Dragon, the characteristics you described are very detailed. If I am correct, the disabled veteran you mentioned should be Sevo?"
Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead and kept a low profile.
Zhang Qiang couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, his feeling was right. The old man Uncle Sevo really survived!
"That's right, I knew he wouldn't die so easily!! Take me to see them!"
Zhang Qiang patted Jack's arm to show closeness and express that we are on the same side.
The police officers on the scene felt a lot less stressed. It would be great if these two soldiers could become their own people!!
"Wait a moment, I need to talk to my superior. It's hard to find a safe place right now. It's very dangerous outside..."
Jack returned to the car and picked up the walkie-talkie. Zhang Qiang watched him busying himself and entered into a dramatic state. He took out a pack of Camel cigarettes and distributed them to the police officers present.
This old brand of cigarettes made the white policemen relax their vigilance even more. They subconsciously believed that only Americans loved to smoke Camel cigarettes, and the two soldiers in front of them must be Asian Americans.
Wang Zhiqiang spoke fluent American English and chatted with the group of police officers. He was better able to play certain roles than Zhang Qiang because of his rich mission experience.
But Zhang Qiang remained vigilant throughout. There was a big loophole in his words, that was the Type 95 rifle in Wang Zhiqiang's hand.
The beautiful Chinese are very arrogant. Their knowledge of flower growing may still come from some emulsified cartoons, in which flower growers have long braids and their buildings are all tile-roofed palaces.
However, it is not ruled out that there are police officers among this group who are familiar with flower farming and recognized the origin of the Type 95 rifle.
If soldiers from other countries appear on U.S. soil, will these police officers regard them as enemies?
Or maybe someone has already seen it, but is afraid to say it out loud due to circumstances?
No matter what, Zhang Qiang was very confident that he could control this group of police officers, because...the two sides were not on the same level at all...
