Chapter 40: Air Raid Siren

…

In an underground room, the lights were dim. The table was filled with all kinds of empty high-end cans, and even a few empty red wine bottles.

Tang Hai sat on a tactical recliner, his expression a little solemn.

“Yuming, I’m a little worried about those two young people with abilities today.”

Feng Yuming crossed his legs, eating canned fruit while saying casually, “That woman is a bit tricky, but I’ve observed her. She’s actually very weak and is just putting on a brave front. She shouldn’t pose much of a threat. Now that she’s in the cave, she can’t run away.”

“Is everything ready on Da Huang’s side?”

“Don’t worry, uncle.” Feng Yuming said with a smile, “With the equipment of these convoys, we can leave this damn place soon.”

Hearing this, Tang Hai’s expression sank slightly. “That Black Jiao convoy is not that simple either. We have to be patient tonight.”

Feng Yuming nodded. “Uncle, I’ll see if I can keep a few women later. We can have some fun on the road. The brothers have been holding back for a long time…”

Tang Hai sneered. “The most beautiful girl is the most dangerous. Do you dare to keep her?”

“Tch!” Feng Yuming said disdainfully, “Ability users are not gods. No matter how powerful she is, there are only two of them. I’ll have plenty of ways to deal with her then.”

“By the way.”

Tang Hai’s tone became stern. “Maybe there are other ability users we need to pay more attention to. For example, that big guy. I don’t think he’s easy to deal with either.”

“I know. He should be a strength type, but he won’t be in good shape after being swept by a machine gun.” Feng Yuming sneered, as if he didn’t care too much.

The uncle and nephew were discussing, and they had obviously determined the fate of everyone, waiting to harvest the spoils.

At this time, although the hundreds of survivors in the dozens of cars in the courtyard of the outpost were extremely vigilant, they did not know that a man-made disaster was quietly brewing.

…

In the armory, Lin Xian told KIKI what he had just discovered.

“Another set of backup energy? What do you mean?” KIKI rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, “That power system is independent. It is used to supply power to the base’s defense system and… a short-distance branch railway’s contact network.”

KIKI frowned. “Branch railway? You mean that group of people from Tang Hai wants to escape by train!?”

“It’s possible. From the power supply method and load voltage, the distance should be limited. They can’t run far.”

“So they don’t need to run far.” KIKI also reacted at this time, her eyes widening. “They just need to run out of the fog, or… Beiwang Station?!”

“Then if they have this thing, why do they still…”

As KIKI spoke, her expression suddenly froze, and she gritted her teeth. “Oh my god, this bad thing. Then let’s go quickly!”

As she spoke, she immediately prepared to get up, but was grabbed by Lin Xian. He said with a solemn expression, “Go? Where are we going? If we go now, the other convoys will definitely be in chaos, and it will be even more troublesome then.”

“Then if we stay here now, aren’t we just waiting to die?” KIKI said in a panic.

Lin Xian looked at her with a burning gaze. “Do you remember something you said at the beginning? It was actually very right.”

“What did I say?” KIKI was puzzled.

“If we escape now, even if we escape from the fog, it will still be dark outside.”

Hearing this, KIKI suddenly understood and said, “Oh, you mean, they might make a move before dawn.”

“It will be earlier than that, so we still have time.”

“What time?”

Lin Xian dragged over a dirty sleeping bag. “Sleep.”

“Are you crazy?!!”

KIKI looked at Lin Xian with a puzzled expression. She reached out and touched Lin Xian’s forehead, frowning. “Did the stench in here make you dizzy? It’s this time, and you’re still sleeping.”

“You must sleep.”

Lin Xian looked at her with a serious expression.

“You must rest first. Only when you have energy can you help later and cooperate with my plan.”

After speaking, he pulled KIKI over and told her a bold idea.

Lin Xian expected that Tang Hai would not make a move too early. First, as KIKI said, he had to wait for the night to be half over. Second, he wanted to let others be tired and slack after late at night. No matter what, he had to be prepared for both.

Only when KIKI’s spirit recovered a little could he have a greater chance of breaking out.

Hearing Lin Xian’s plan, KIKI’s expression changed slightly. “Then what about Sha Sha and the others? Should we?”

Lin Xian shook his head. “We can’t care about them now. Telling them won’t help, and it might alert the enemy.”

“Don’t say any more. Go to sleep!”

KIKI frowned, so she listened to Lin Xian’s words, endured the stench in the room, and leaned on the sleeping pad to rest.

Lin Xian no longer spoke. He put his hand on the generator set and began to operate [Mechanical Devour]!

[Devour progress 1%]

Lin Xian looked at the slow progress on the light screen, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He probably guessed the true intentions of Tang Hai’s group, and his heart couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Compared to this, his initial bit of vigilance was really too naive…

This was the first time Lin Xian had devoured such a huge set of generators. Including the energy storage equipment, this 1900KW diesel generator set could almost support a community-level backup power source. The difficulty of devouring it was extremely great.

Moreover, his stamina had already been consumed a lot. He didn’t know if he could hold on until the moment he finished devouring this big guy.

So he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Fortunately, [Mechanical Devour] had already been upgraded to LV2, and the efficiency had improved a lot compared to before.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was soon 5 o’clock in the morning.

Because of the high tension for several consecutive days, many of the old, weak, women, and children among the survivors had fallen asleep. Even the men on night watch were distracted. Some people began to wash their faces with clean water, and those who could afford it drank coffee to resist the strong sleepiness.

Under the night, the fog shrouded the high walls of the outpost. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the rustling of insects could be heard.

Occasionally, a child’s cry was quickly covered by its mother, for fear of disturbing something troublesome in the dark night.

Everyone was in tacit agreement. Everyone was quietly waiting for the dawn.

Omm~

But just then, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded, and it became more and more intense, instantly making everyone break out in a cold sweat!

“What’s that sound?!”

“Air raid siren, damn it!?”

“What’s going on?!”

“Who did it…”

On the Black Jiao convoy’s side, Qian Yu, who was taking a nap, suddenly woke up. His eyes widened, and he immediately cursed angrily, “Not good, you son of a bitch!” So he decisively picked up the walkie-talkie. “Everyone, on alert!”

“Where’s that old bastard?”

“I haven’t seen him since last night.” Eagle was on another car at this time, holding a gun and standing up from the roof, constantly searching for the movements of Tang Hai’s group, but at this time, he didn’t see a single person.

The air raid siren in his ears soon attracted countless zombies, and the surrounding howls were heart-stopping.

“We’ve been tricked!” Qian Yu roared angrily. “No wonder this guy deliberately invited everyone into the air-raid shelter. It turns out to be a feint!”

“Then should we go into the air-raid shelter to hide now?”

“Hide my ass, it must have been locked long ago!”

He had originally been on guard against Tang Hai’s tricks, but he didn’t expect the other party to be so ruthless, directly setting off a bomb in his own shelter? Is this something a human can do?

Many convoys also reacted at this time. For a time, the entire courtyard was in chaos, and countless curses against Tang Hai sounded. All the cars started up.

Some small convoys got out of their cars and ran towards the air-raid shelter.

And at this time, when the people of the Black Jiao convoy opened the gate of the outpost, they were shocked to find that it was filled with barricades and marble piers. When Qian Yu saw this, he was so angry that he cursed, “Obstacle clearing team, clear the obstacles quickly!”

Omm!

The modified heavy truck slowly lowered its front steel shovel, and with a roar of the engine, it drove out of the gate.

Bang, bang, bang, a series of explosions, the truck instantly rushed out a lane.

“Brother, are we going too?”

On the other side of the pickup truck, the awakened Lou Shasha looked at the chaotic convoy crowd and shouted with an uneasy expression.

“They…” Lou Ye’s gaze looked towards the air-raid shelter, his expression a little hesitant.

“I’ll go call them?!” Lou Shasha shouted.

“Don’t!” Lou Ye pulled her, his gaze looking out the car window. “They… have abilities.”

Lou Shasha nodded and said in a panic, “Okay, then we’ll wait for them.”

At this time, the dozen or so survivors who were about to rush into the air-raid shelter had just rushed to the iron gate when a flash of fire suddenly appeared, and a huge explosion roared!

Boom!

The fireball illuminated the entire outpost courtyard, instantly engulfing those survivors.

“Damn it!”

“Sister KIKI and the others?!”

Ugh!!

The shrill howls of the zombie tide soon swarmed in, and the sound of gunfire began to be heard all around. Lou Shasha’s small face was pale and anxious. After waiting for a long time, she still did not see Lin Xian and KIKI.

At this time, Lou Ye made a decisive decision and directly stepped on the accelerator.

“Brother!!”

“Let’s go first!”

If they hesitated any longer, the two of them would not be able to escape at all. So, under the decisive decision, the pickup truck directly roared its engine and rushed out of the outpost.

At this time, countless zombies, strange corpses, zombie dogs, and black centipedes swarmed into the outpost like a tide in the fog. A van that failed to start was instantly annihilated in the zombie tide. Another off-road vehicle also crashed into a cement pier in the chaos. Helplessly, the few people in the car could only get out with their guns and run towards the air-raid shelter, shooting back as they ran.

But before they could run a few steps, they were pounced on by zombie dogs rushing out of the dark.

“Ah!!”

“Help…”

“Wife, run! I’ll fight you animals!!”

The air-raid shelter had completely exploded, and countless zombies swarmed in, immediately causing a series of tragic screams inside.

The shrill screams echoed in the valley. In the night, a series of car lights drove in the fog. All the convoys followed behind the Black Jiao convoy and fled frantically. At this time, the sky was full of all kinds of pouncing monsters and zombies. A car lost control, which caused a series of car accidents, and then was swallowed by the zombie tide.

Qian Yu’s armored car was driving behind the road-clearing truck, his eyes full of bloodshot.

“Car 4! Car 4! Respond to me!”

“Damn it!”

“Wu Songlin, have you found the route?!!”

“We can only go out from the city. We have to go back to that small road!” a subordinate shouted on the walkie-talkie.

“Damn it!”

“Boss, I don’t think it’s right,” the subordinate suddenly said.
