Chapter 933: Chapter 405 Nightmare Specter

Under Lin Wu’s reminder, Maya contacted Nightmare, who had the half-trained medic Xiao Jing with her. Xiao Jing knew immediately that these were typical symptoms of scarlatina. The solution was to administer antibiotics and isolate the patients separately, not in a group quarantine. If the rash became severely purulent, it was necessary to perform surgical incision and drainage.

Wounded soldiers Shana, Xiao Wen, Stone, Maya, and Little Knife could no longer continue building their home and instead devoted their energy to taking care of the sick. A few days later, Lin Wu, being in better health, was the first to recover but still remained in isolation. Eventually, Xiao Wu and others recovered one after another. Lin Meng, due to her poor constitution, showed signs of rash suppuration, and the fever-reducing medication was of limited effect.

Thus, the daring Lin Wu and explosive expert Maya stepped in. Xiao Jing mentioned drainage, but Lin Wu wasn’t sure how to do it, so he used a flesh-cutting surgery method he was familiar with. As long as the pus pockets were directly excavated, there should be no problem. It made sense and was somewhat more effective than just drainage, but without any anesthetics, Lin Meng, who was tied down, screamed for an hour before it was over. Lin Wu dug two small holes and four grooves in her back. The grooves were made because the pus pockets and rash formed a line.

Lin Meng continued to lie down for another week before she fully recovered. By the time of her recovery, it was already Day D21.

After a bloody lesson, Maya forbade anyone from going to the gathering place.

On the other side, the eastern base had already transported away a large amount of bulk goods, leaving six soldiers behind in the logistics park. The soldiers spent their days sorting out scattered goods, and every few days a helicopter would take away the goods and leave them a batch of food and ammunition in exchange.

From a higher vantage point, it became known that the activity area of several thousand zombies on the train lines had covered the entire gathering place. The zombies originally in the warehouse slowly merged into this area, and now the zombie density of the gathering place was three per square meter, making it a relatively dangerous spot.

The Shang Hulu District Gathering Place was not much better, as it too had a zombie train.

...

On the morning of Day D24, two helicopters approached from the northeast, one of which was an armed chopper. Seeing this, Maya felt uneasy and said, "Lin Wu, Snow Egg, Little Knife, prepare for battle. We do not fire first unless they shoot at us. After the engagement, everyone else must immediately retreat towards the waterfall and into the forest."

Stone stood beside Maya and said, "Is it really necessary? Would they be interested in our meager resources? The fuel for their flight probably costs more."

"Anything’s possible," Maya turned to say, "everyone else retreat into the railcar first." They couldn’t possibly win; even if they were lucky enough to shoot down the two helicopters, there were many more at the eastern base, and even missiles.

The armed helicopter circled overhead while the other landed on an open field. An officer and three fully armed soldiers exited the helicopter, which then ascended back into the sky.

Maya: "They want to talk." After saying this, she went forward to greet them, shook hands with the officer, and introduced herself as the person in charge of the base.

Officer: "Can we talk inside?"

Leaving the three soldiers behind, the rest entered car number 11’s dining car where the officer praised the base highly. Stone invited the officer to sit down, placed a kettle on the stove to heat water for tea.

The officer didn’t stand on ceremony and took out a laptop from his bag, getting straight to the point.

This was a scene captured by night vision cameras; it was of the logistics park. The cameras captured a man wearing a gas mask sneaking into the park, and shortly after entering a tent, he left with a dagger dripping blood. The man then sneaked up behind a night-shift soldier and slit his throat, and later fought with another soldier.

The soldier was no match for the man and didn’t even have a chance to shoot; even if the man had thrown the dagger away and fought bare-handed, the soldier was powerless to retaliate and ended up with a broken neck.

Soon after, a man and a woman entered the logistics park, arriving on two modified motorcycles. They scavenged the park with the man, taking away soldiers’ bulletproof vests, helmets, firearms, and ammunition, as well as two boxes of canned goods, one box of compressed biscuits, ten barrels of gasoline, and one box of gas masks, among other things, over a few trips.

After the deed, the leading man dragged a soldier’s corpse in front of a surveillance camera, cut the soldier’s head off, and threw it on the ground in full view of the camera. He then removed his gas mask and gave a provocative middle finger before leaving.

Stone immediately denied: "This wasn’t us."

Officer replied: "I believe it wasn’t you. After the incident, we sent drones to monitor you immediately and can confirm it wasn’t you. We think that the perpetrator’s provocation was hoping that we would seek revenge for our soldiers, turning himself into a Hunter and hunting us for sufficient supplies."

"The embarrassing part is that we can’t send a large force to the logistics park to search for the perpetrator, nor can we continue to send squads to take the risk of stationing there," the officer said. "We hope to get your help, you don’t have to take action, just confirm the killer’s location for us."

Stone puzzled: "We have no idea where the perpetrator is."

Maya said: "It’s not hard to analyze. Based on the direction the motorcycles entered on camera and the transportation time, the perpetrator should be hiding in the surrounding area. However, from our position, we can only see a small part of the upper gathering place and cannot send someone out to look for them."
