Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five: Wisconsin
This time, Lin Jiayao chose to log into No. 3 Goldie first, and did not log into No. 2 to “move the position”.
Because Lin Jiayao thought that if she logged into No. 2 and got lost, it might waste several hours.
It was better to log into No. 3 Goldie directly. After all, No. 2 lacked effective means of “self-destruction”.
It was still quite difficult to make a building-tree guard self-destruct in the vascular network.
It was better to leave it for a while, and then she could use it to practice with her sister, let her sister “eliminate” No. 2, free up a slot for herself, and let her sister practice her hand.
Thinking this way, Lin Jiayao’s consciousness moved from the No. 2 building-tree guard to the No. 3 Goldie, and her consciousness clicked in.
……
Wisconsin, dawn was just breaking.
At this time, the Wisconsin underground reserve station camp was undergoing a fierce debate.
This debate was caused by the events of a few days ago, and finally divided into two factions.
They could be simply called the “stay-at-home faction” and the “go-out faction”.
The classification was so simple because the point they were arguing about was just whether to go out of the reserve station.
“BOSS, you would rather believe them than someone who has experienced it firsthand?” Monica, who was handcuffed, gnawed on the canned ham forked by the person next to her, and said sullenly.
Monica was a member of the “go-out faction”, and this confinement was also due to the news brought back by her team.
A few days ago, Monica’s team claimed to have encountered a powerful Awakened who could even control Hive Zombies.
That Awakened even asked Monica about the distribution map of the Hive Queen zombies, and then went to the most dangerous forbidden zone.
It really looked like the style of the “Hand of Freedom”, free and wild.
But after Monica’s team came back and reported these things, they were immediately handcuffed and isolated for observation, which made Monica so angry that she had been cursing for several days.
It wasn’t until a terrifying battle that lasted for several days that the reserve station camp completely chose to close.
From the perspective of the people in this camp, the battle lasted for several days. They didn’t know that the battle was divided into two waves, and each time it ended very quickly.
Now it was the third day since the battle ended. The calm outside also made the camp have differences on whether to continue the blockade.
Although the materials stored in the camp were enough for them to seal themselves off for a long time, most people were already about to go crazy.
And Monica was undoubtedly the strongest opponent among these people. At least others had freed their hands, but she couldn’t even move her hands, and she was almost mad with anger.
“I told you I wasn’t affected by the Hive Queen, fuck, what are you laughing at, Jack, one day I’ll stuff a zombie’s dick into your ass…”
Seeing that Monica was really angry, no one in the camp dared to continue to laugh, and they all pursed their lips.
At this time, the camp BOSS, who was wearing a military uniform, also reached out and pinched his big beard.
If they continued to be so depressed in this dark underground reserve station, let alone these subordinates, he would be a little unbearable.
And there had been no movement outside for several days, maybe the person had already left, and they didn’t need to be so vigilant.
As for why Monica and her team were handcuffed, in addition to excluding the possibility that Monica was affected by the Hive Queen, it was also to exclude the possibility that this team was brainwashed by the “Headshavers”.
In addition to the “Hand of Freedom”, there was also an extreme anti-human organization “Headshavers” in America, entrenched in the home base of Illinois.
The “Headshavers” were not an organization that existed at the beginning of the apocalypse, but a terrorist organization that suddenly emerged in the past year.
It seemed to be established by a B-rank Indian who was good at brainwashing, and quickly expanded in Illinois by brainwashing the leaders of various camps.
And their logo was also obvious, that was, the scarred scalp… People who joined the Headshavers would have part of their scalp shaved off, so the people in this organization basically had a piece of their head missing hair, which was easy to distinguish.
And Illinois was just below Wisconsin.
As for why the Wisconsin camp had been able to preserve itself for so many years, it was precisely because the Hive Queen’s territory almost completely occupied the border of Wisconsin, forming a natural protective barrier.
And the junction of Wisconsin and Illinois was where the “forbidden zone” was located. Even the Headshavers could not cross it.
Through the radio, they had long known that the Headshavers had given up attacking Wisconsin, but instead used Chicago as a transit point and had been expanding to Michigan, controlling Detroit.
Their various evil deeds slowly reached the ears of the Hand of Freedom. A few weeks ago, the Hand of Freedom, which had collected enough anti-human evidence, officially declared war on the Headshavers.
But at this time, the Headshavers had already developed into a behemoth, and it was obviously not so easy to shake.
Therefore, the camp BOSS suspected that this time Monica’s team might have encountered an Awakened from the “Hand of Freedom”, or even a person from the “Headshavers”.
Maybe they had finally found a way to pass through the forbidden zone…
After all, controlling the Hive Queen, it was estimated that only the crazy leader of the Headshavers had the ability to do it.
Before the situation outside was clear, he naturally couldn’t unlock the handcuffs.
But now, after almost a week of getting along, Monica and her team showed no signs of being mentally controlled. They ate, cursed, and were very spirited.
This made the reserve station camp BOSS have a trace of doubt that he might have misjudged.
Finally, in Monica’s cursing, the BOSS put down his hand pinching his big beard and snapped his fingers.
“Okay, stop arguing. Now recruit two teams to go out and see the situation, go to the edge of the forbidden area to see. All the gains from this trip belong to their respective teams.”
Hearing that they were going to the vicinity of the forbidden area, several exploration teams were a little hesitant, but Monica, even though she was handcuffed, straightened her waist and raised her hand from behind.
She had finally been able to regain her freedom, and she would not miss this opportunity.
The edge of the forbidden area was the edge of the forbidden area. She wanted to prove to everyone that the information she brought back was correct, and it was the people of the Hand of Freedom who came to help them!
She didn’t quite believe that the mysterious Awakened she met that day was a bad person. Yes, it was based on her intuition.
After a long time, another team that was not afraid of death also raised their hands, and then no other team wanted to go out.
“Okay, then you two teams will complete this exploration mission, help them unlock the handcuffs, the specific details of the mission…”
The BOSS ordered to help Monica’s team members unlock the handcuffs, and began to tell them the main points of this mission.
Soon, the team that received the task spent more than ten minutes forming a team and confirming the weapons to be carried. The closed door of the reserve station slowly opened, and four armored jeeps drove out of the reserve station.
“Fuck… it feels good to be in the car…” Monica pressed down the car window, cheered at the rising sun outside, and then stretched, put her long legs on the top of the storage box, and lay down to blow the wind.
The distance to the forbidden area was still very far, and she could rest in the car for about half an hour.
“George, call me when we get there.” Monica put on her sunglasses, crossed her hands on her chest to support her breasts, and slowly fell asleep.
She had been handcuffed for the past few days, and it was difficult to fall asleep. Now that she had this opportunity, she had to rest well.
But Monica had just entered dreamland for more than ten minutes, and their armored car suddenly braked sharply, not knowing what it hit, and also let Monica, who was lying in the passenger seat, lift her legs and slide to the bottom of the car.
“Fuck…” The awakened Monica found that her posture was stuck between the storage box and the seat cushion. After cursing helplessly, she was pulled out with the help of the team members behind.
“What happened? George?”
Monica asked while loading her gun.
“I don’t know, the car in front suddenly braked sharply… Hey, they got out of the car!”
From their field of vision, it could be seen that almost all the members of the convoy in front had gotten out of the car fully armed.
They were still thousands of meters away from the location of the forbidden area, why did they stop now?
Because the view was blocked by the armored car in front, after making a gesture, Monica’s team also got out of the car with guns.
As soon as she got out of the car, Monica’s pupils shrank slightly.
This…
What the hell…
Was this?
It could be seen that hundreds of meters away, the road leading to the front had been completely blocked by blood-red mycelium intertwined between the left and right buildings. It was impossible to see through the mycelium what was happening inside.
It was as if these mycelia were guarding something inside.
And in front of these intertwined mycelia like a jungle, there was also a strange white-haired little girl standing, opening her arms between the mycelium, revealing the small tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth… seeming to be threatening and expelling.
The cute appearance could not hide the danger and terror of the background behind the little girl, and the members of the team in front had already taken out Molotov cocktails and were preparing to advance.
Are they stupid?!
Monica felt the alarm bells ringing wildly in her heart, and her eyelids twitched wildly, as if something bad was about to happen. She quickly shouted: “Don’t, don’t go forward!”
Before the apocalypse, Monica always thought that the cannon fodder in those apocalypse movies who didn’t listen to advice and had to act tough were very stupid, but in fact, after the real zombie apocalypse came, Monica found that there were actually quite a few such fools.
Some things, in Monica’s eyes, were dangerous, but in the eyes of fools, they could only see blood crystals.
“Boom—”
A rocket-propelled grenade with a tail flame was fired, directly hitting the little girl’s direction.
“Nice! Accurate!”
“Yo hoo!”
The team in front had already cheered, because they saw that after the rocket was fired, those mycelia began to shrink rapidly.
They had not encountered zombies other than Hive Zombies, or even fungal zombies.
But they had white varieties here, and they would only infect zombies and would not infect people. After infection, the characteristics were that their hearing became particularly good.
Here, this was called “Listener”.
Obviously, they had just regarded this all-white zombie as a “Listener”, and the red mycelium behind it was regarded as white mycelium filled with blood crystals.
Zombies that were not in the “Hive Queen” territory could be killed at will. This had always been the camp’s survival rule. After all, it had not yet reached the Hive Queen zombie territory.
In this regard, Monica’s evaluation was.
“A bunch of idiots!”
Monica quickly directed her team members to get in the car, and then let the driver put it in reverse and step on the accelerator.
Monica’s two armored vehicles rubbed out white smoke and quickly retreated, quickly moving away from the front convoy by almost hundreds of meters, completely drawing a clear line.
Monica knew very well that this entire area was the direction that the mysterious powerhouse was going. She didn’t know where the mysterious powerhouse was stationed, but in her opinion, nothing abnormal here could be touched.
Maybe it was something left by that big shot?
Soon, Monica felt fortunate for her caution…
Because, the mycelium that had just shrunk turned into a huge blood-red giant claw, and slapped it directly from the sky towards the team in front.
“Boom—”
The entire street was “submerged” by the blood-red giant hand, and all the people and cars were buried inside and vanished.
And the contraction of the mycelium finally allowed Monica to see what the mycelium was protecting.
It was a familiar, pale golden tentacle.
“Sure enough…” Monica slowly relaxed in her heart, but then tightened.
Relaxed because she knew that the mysterious powerhouse who manipulated the golden tentacle Hive Queen would not kill indiscriminately.
Nervous because the team in front, strictly speaking, was with Monica…
…….
“Boom—”
Lin Jiayao, who had just logged in, heard a rumbling sound before she could even open her eyes.
Before Goldie extracted, she was in a hurry, and directly let Huayibai turn into a giant flying insect and carry Lin Jiayao to the Extraction Point.
After extracting, Lin Jiayao did not let Huayibai have other actions, but just let her be vigilant around.
After all, Huayibai was an “invasive creature” here. Without Lin Jiayao, there were no natural enemies, but without Lin Jiayao, it was hard to say.
But as soon as Lin Jiayao logged in, she saw Huayibai’s hand smash forward.
Because the front was submerged by the mycelium “ocean”, Lin Jiayao didn’t know what Huayibai was fighting with.
“Huayibai?”
Lin Jiayao called out softly.
It seemed that she heard Lin Jiayao’s voice, and a white figure covered in ash drilled out of the mycelium giant hand in front, and pounced towards Lin Jiayao’s arms.
As soon as she pounced into Lin Jiayao’s arms, Huayibai burst into tears.
“Mommy…wuwuwu… they burned Huayibai with fire wuwuwu…”
“Okay, okay… don’t cry, don’t cry…” Lin Jiayao patted Huayibai’s head while looking in the direction buried by the mycelium giant hand, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She knew very well how much Huayibai hated fire and how much she was afraid of fire.
But Lin Jiayao could still feel that Huayibai did not kill those people, those people were still alive.
After all, Lin Jiayao had told Huayibai a long time ago not to kill people casually except for the people of the Voodoo Cult.
It seemed that she had to teach Huayibai again later…
Except for the people of the Voodoo Cult, anyone who hurt her could also be killed.
Especially those who burned her with fire.
