Treasure Hunt in the Abandoned City
Chapter 517:Treasure Hunt in the Abandoned City
After being separated from the three survivors, Jason's team continued to run to the jewelry store, "Norma's National Dream - Deer Park" is still some distance away from them, and the episode just took place without delaying everyone's time.
“Head, do you say that the survivors will go to Dallas when they hear you?”Jaden, who was in the back seat of the car, suddenly asked.
“I don’t know, I hope God will bless them,” Jason shook his head, his eyes all the way through the outside of the window.
“There are four hundred kilometers in a straight line to Dallas, and I don’t think they can get there, and even if they get there, they won’t necessarily find a refuge in that big city.”Tom said, "Why doesn't the Institute open a shelter in the area next to it, so that some survivors can be taken in some of the survivors."
"If there is a shelter here, then once the news spreads, the whole of Houston and even the surrounding cities may come, our institute does not have the strength to take care of them, then the problem is sooner or later," Jason knows that his soldiers are somewhat worried about giving up the rescue of survivors back to the Institute and some complaints, his previous ideas and these soldiers, but after communicating with Dr. Mario and other senior executives of the institute, they understand their difficulties.
The Institute's armed forces are only sufficient to protect their own security and maintain stability, and if another area is opened as a refuge, then the refuge will inevitably take up part of the Institute's human and material resources.When the shelter is built, there will be many survivors waiting for it in the fourth largest city in the United States, and other cities around it will not be affected.
When the population exceeds the base's own load, the trouble will come, and this truth only needs to be thought a little to understand.Dr. Martin had previously used computers to simulate the carrying capacity of the institute, and had come up with clear data at the time, and she used a new algorithm to calculate other disadvantages that the population might bring in the ever-increasing number of people.
A large number of refugees in the process of gathering in one direction is likely to attract the nearby scattered zombies, these zombies will follow the transfer of refugees will form a group of corpses, the original destruction of the Tampa Institute of the body group its formation process is closely related to this reason, so the Institute's managers in communication with Wachton, finally made the decision to stand by the surrounding refugees.
“It’s like that,” the people in the car nodded after hearing Jason explain why.
"Two blocks from now to the Norma store," and the car had been going around the road for about an hour, and Tom had roughly judged the distance between the line and the jewelry store, based on the street signs.
"Be careful," said Jason jokingly, "that we're doing our private work, and whoever dies here will not receive a death-giver."
While the team was approaching the destination, people in the car, in addition to the driver Tom, began to sort out their equipment.The Norma store belonged to the area far from the Institute, and Jason did not dare to care about security issues.
Many traces of the city still remain in the vicinity, but the apocalyptic atmosphere after the disaster is very strong.Most of the corpses on the street have become white bones, and there are some tattered garbage.The wind will lift the cement ash peeling off the walls from the ground and caress the car body that has been scrapped by the side of the road.
The loss is what the city feels like.
"It looks like the car can't get in," Jason looked ahead at the road blocked by the wreckage, and looked around from the side.
Tom drove an armored bulletproof car around the intersection of the neighborhood, and when he turned around, he found that the road conditions on this side were even more unsatisfactory.
"It should be very prosperous before the disaster, and there are actually more cars than people," and abandoned vehicles in front of them are stacked on the road, and some positions even piled up to the height of two floors.Although Tom's words sound exaggerated, the actual situation is true.
Most of the vehicles that hit each other had been severely deformed, and some of them were left with a dark body in the fire, and the chaos of the disaster was evident from the chaos.Jason and others got out of the car and looked at the intersection and gave up the idea of passing through here.
“Go back,” Jason said to Tom, and he took them all back to the car.
Gurkha F5 turned back to its previous location, where the road was also full of vehicles, but the obstacles were much weaker than at the intersection just now, and Jason planned to try it to see if the bulletproof armored vehicle could be pushed in.
Tom followed Jason's instructions to drive the car forward, and the anti-collision beams on the front of the car stood up to the car in front and pushed them forward.The resistance of the front was increasing, and when he slowly pushed, Tom increased the power of the body, allowing the Gurkha F5's head to climb directly into the body of the low-slung vehicle in front.
The Gurkha F5 ran over scrapped cars, which were squabbed.The armored car is a bit bumpy when it runs over these cars, but the people sitting in the car enjoy the thrill of this steel behemoth.
"It's cool," said Tom, if not holding the steering wheel, and the whole man would dance, "it's a lot harder than the Hmong horses at the base, which is the god of our man."
“That’s good,” Jason nodded.The Gurkha F5 military-armed bulletproof vehicle is equipped by the U.S. Army’s 75th Infantry Division, which is based in Houston.However, the formation of the 75th Infantry Division was severely damaged at the time of the disaster, and almost all four brigades were destroyed.Most of the surviving soldiers moved to Fort Hood, where they joined the Army's 3rd Army, and a very small number remained in the city to help the Institute with restoration and reconstruction.
The Houston Institute has become the strongest scientific research institution in the United States after being strengthened by Tampa and New Orleans, and the state's attention to it has suddenly increased, and it has become one of the few units that can receive regular material airdrops.
"I love this muscle car," Jaden exclaimed excitedly. "In Miami, I've been on a military base tank, folks, and I don't know how to describe that feeling."
"When you're sitting in a tank, when it runs over ordinary cars, it feels like a brick patted on top of tofu."Jaden stroked with his hand, "No one can stop it on the whole road."
“In urban terrain, tanks do not have such bulletproof armored vehicles, and on some occasions they appear slightly bulky.”Jason said he saw Tom driving the car in, and suddenly there were many zombies behind the barrier ahead. "It looks like we're in trouble," he said.
“Find a defensive position first, and we get out of the car and kill them,” Jason said, observing what was going on, and then gave Tom an order.
There were many zombies on the road, and they surrounded them when they heard the roar of the car engines.Bulletproof armored vehicles climb on the road stacked obstacles, and can not do the same as in the flat ground to cause effective killing and death to the zombies.
Tom followed Jason's orders to drive to the courtyard wall of a building on the side of the road, and the soldiers in the car got out of the car and rushed into the courtyard, and after everyone wiped out the zombies that were wandering inside for the first time, and then relied on the courtyard wall to shoot at the nearby corpses.
This kind of battle has long been a familiar road for Jason and his team members, everyone's head is not low, the outside of the courtyard wall will be full of corpses, 77 and eight lay no less than 50 or 60 zombies.
When the standing figure could no longer be seen outside, everyone came out from behind the courtyard wall, Jason, after they had filled some of the dead on the ground and filled the gun, they walked safely toward the door of Norma's National Dream - Deer Park.
On the side of the street was a floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, and when Jason was near the door, the ground was full of broken glass slag.
The glass wall is also a messy look, which seems to have been looted when the disaster occurred, but from the few bones lying on the floor and the gold and silver jewelry spilled next to it, the bandits who ransacked the shop while the disaster did not end well.
"This is a group of money-despere fellows," Tom said coldly, looking coldly at the corpses on the ground, in a somewhat disdainful tone.
There were a few more zombies in the shop, and Jason and the team were waiting outside for them to come out.As soon as the zombies came to the door, they were shot and killed by soldiers outside.Black blood spilled on the ground, mixed with broken glass slag, stained those shiny crystals with a layer of red to black color.
The threat in the vicinity was finally cleared, and everyone went into the jewelry store, and then he could find the work to look at the display inside.
There was no longer a look of pearly before the disaster, and the giant crystal chandeliers in the middle of the ceiling of the hall could not see any luster because of the fall of the ash.There were no lights in the house, but the glass wall was broken a lot, and the place that was not broken did not affect the light projected outside.
In the middle of the jewelry store hall is a circle of square glass counters, and the glass on the counter surface has almost been smashed with hard objects, and most of the counters are empty.
Jason turned his head and glanced at the jewels that had sprinkled around the bones, shaking his head somewhat regretfully.There are a lot of jewelry in this style is still very unique, but because of the relationship between the corpse, Jason in his heart has some resistance to these jewelry.After all, he wanted to give Hill something at the wedding, and he didn’t plan to pick one so sloppily.
“Go inside and see,” Jason greeted his companion.
“How’s it at the counter?”Zack shouted at Jason.
Several people gathered around there and found that it was the only counter in the hall that had survived, and the glass counter covered with a thick layer of ash, Jason wiped the ash with his hand, and saw that the ring and necklace on the shelves inside were shining.
"Yes, take them with you," Jason nodded, "and let's go to the room and see if it's any more appropriate."
