Apocalypse Safe Space

Chapter 54 Seizing the Grain Depot (2)

The convoy temporarily stopped in the open space in front of Miye, and a small group of heavily armed vanguard went to check the situation.

The soldiers first went to the granary to check one by one, but it was dark inside and there was nothing.The hungry people didn't even have a grain of rice left.The big lock of the factory building is just hung up, and it opens with a twist. There is still nothing left in the factory building except machinery and equipment.The desks and chairs in the office building were split and burned by people, leaving only rubbish and broken glass.

It's so quiet and there's no danger.

The person searching turns on the walkie-talkie to report everything they see.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some put down their weapons and took a rest.

But I couldn't be optimistic at all, a strong sense of crisis came from behind.That direction is the purpose of this time - the grain depot.

The grain depot is just opposite to the rice industry, more than 1000 meters away from the rice industry, and there is a road in the middle, which is the way our convoy came.

There is also a large open space outside the grain depot, which is very wide, more than three times the size of Miye Square.Before the end of the world, every autumn and winter, there would be a line of agricultural vehicles for food delivery. If there is no room for the square, they would line up along the main road to the entrance of the town.The big trees on the side of the road were rustling by the wind, and it took a long time for the truck to pay the grain to move.

Everyone calls this Jiaohuang Grain, and it is something that farmers must do every year.I remember when I was young, our good friends would come here to count cars and play when this season came, one or two~~~~~~~ Counting from the small town to here can count hundreds of numbers.Some old men and women will also wait aside. When the car runs and drops grain, they will sweep it vigorously and sweep the grain into their own bags. There will be a few bags of harvest at the end of the day.

Now all of this has disappeared, and the former friends don't know if they are still alive or not, maybe they have also become living dead.

There was no one in the square of the grain depot, no, not a single zombie, not even some scattered skeletons.There is nothing but the iron pot and stove for porridge, which gives people a very clean and weird feeling.

Before the end of the world, there must be a lot of people who put food here. How could there be no zombies, no tents, no garbage, as if the place had been cleaned by someone?
Who would do such a boring thing at this time, could it be the army guarding the warehouse?But aren't they afraid of people rebelling?Even if they really did this, what about the cauldron of soup, why didn't they put it away?
So many mysteries!
The courtyard wall of the grain depot is very high, and the gate is closed tightly, so the situation inside cannot be seen.There are no guards on duty on the wall, and our convoy has been here for so long without any response.

Everything was too quiet to be seen as human.

"Hello, is there anyone? Call me back." A small team leader shouted at the grain depot with a loudspeaker.

The sound of the loudspeaker passed for a long time, and the echoes formed came back, and no one answered.

Where did the army of more than 100 people guarding the grain depot go?And what about the staff of the grain depot?Why don't you answer, what are they afraid of? Did we scare them?
That's the border guards, they are very tough, how can they be frightened by us motley troops.Maybe they're hiding behind a wall and waiting for us to attack before sneaking up on us, don't take it lightly.

Yang Guang and I studied it, and decided to send a small team to find out the reality.

Maybe he wanted to show off, or maybe he saw that the rice industry was not in danger and thought that the grain depot would not be in danger either. Yang Guang's elder brother asked for a fight and asked to lead the leading team to investigate.

Yang Guang approved it, probably because he was afraid that he would be in danger and set up a shield before he left, so he let him go.I moved my mouth, but didn't speak.

It's abnormal here, as the saying goes, abnormality is a demon.The grain depot was not as safe as it seemed, and it might be very dangerous. Where did his elder brother go this time, it might be bad or bad.But Yang Guang wants his elder brother to do more actual combat, and develop his abilities earlier, so let's go.It takes a thousand days to raise a soldier, so you can't always raise him for nothing, no one wants a useless brother to hold him back.

I put the team on alert and ready for battle at any time.The muzzles of the machine guns spread out in an umbrella shape and aimed at the gate of the grain depot; other soldiers also lined up, holding steel guns tightly, ready to shoot at any time.

The 50-member scout team quickly walked through the open square and soon arrived at the gate of the grain depot.

"Bang bang bang—" There was a dull sound when the palm hit the iron door.There was still no movement in the gate, a deathly silence.

Still no one made a sound. Could it be that the army has withdrawn, and the staff of the grain depot have followed?Is the food still there?Don't let us come here for nothing.

Yang Guang's elder brother took out a piece of bread and threw it on the high-voltage power grid above the gate—the power grid didn't respond and was out of power.

"Go." The leading squad leader gave an order.Long ago, a warrior squatted down with bowed legs, palms up, spread out his palms, and crossed his fingers together, making a hand ladder.A person next to him stepped on his hand, and the soldier lifted his hand vigorously, and the person above jumped up immediately.

All of a sudden, the people above grabbed the barbed wire on the gate and jumped into the gate.

Good job, such a high gate can jump in with one body, the skill is good, it is not in vain for them to practice the Moon Lane Art.I applaud.

"Crackling——" the gate of the grain depot was opened from the inside, and the soldiers entered one after another and started searching.

People in Miye's square waited anxiously and excitedly.

"Shushasha—" a voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"There is no one in the compound of the grain depot, only some military vehicles, and nothing else has been found yet. The team continues to search, OVER."

"There is no one in the main building, keep searching, OVER."

"The warehouse door is locked and unguarded. OVER."

"The door of the No. [-] warehouse was opened, and there was a lot of food inside, but no one moved it. Over."

"The door to the No. [-] warehouse was also pried open. There is a lot of food inside, but no one has touched it. Over."

～～～～～～～
Good news came one after another, and people began to boil and talk about it.

"Quiet, keep the battle formation!" Yang Guang ordered.His brows did not loosen, but were furrowed tightly, probably he also noticed that something was unusual.There is no reason for the army to leave so much food alone. We must know that this is the end of the world, and what is more important than food!
"Hey, why are there so many helmets and weapons? No one wants them? Report, I found a lot of regular army equipment scattered on the ground, it's a mess. Over."

"Why is there a hole here? Is it such a big hole, a dog hole?" Someone from the scouting team said on the walkie-talkie.

"What is this? A mouse? Or a pig? Report, I found something that looks like a mouse and a pig. over"

"Squeak——" There was a mouse cry from the walkie-talkie.

"Its eyes are red, whoops, it bit me."

"Oh my god, it's zombie rats, there are so many, run away—"

There was a flurry of running, screams, and messy gunshots from the walkie-talkie.

"Run, there are a lot of zombie rats, they are coming—"

What?It's a zombie mouse!After the end of the world, all the animals disappeared (except for my big yellow dog, who couldn't get out of the guard formation).The mice can’t be seen anymore, it is said that they have evolved after hiding, and some of the ones that can’t evolve have become zombies, and some have died completely.

Now there are rats in the grain depot, zombie rats.How much does such a large warehouse have!

And it's a mouse as big as a piglet, my God, it's scary to think about it.
