Chapter 12 - Purge

Seeing such a tragic scene, Sarah buried her head on Brian's shoulder and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

  As for Brian, he recalled the scene just now with shock. He clearly saw that the bullet had hit the infected person's head, but the strange bacteria actually blocked the bullet. It was destroyed, but the bulletproof nature still made him uneasy.

  Don't look at the fact that the bacteria only covers half of the head, what if it can cover the entire head or the entire body in the future? What kind of horror would it be if other strange abilities were derived?

  Thinking of this, Brian realized that he couldn't stay here any longer, although it wasn't necessarily better to get to the city, it was much better than facing these monsters here.

  "Come on, let's quickly find the car and get out of here."

  Saying that, Brian patted Sarah on the shoulder, then raised her small hand and hurried towards the north of the city.

  .....

  Just a few hundred miles down the highway from the city, dozens of armed army trucks are speeding by, and the sign in front of the convoy reads "Austin is 200 miles away."

  Behind each truck were a dozen fully armed soldiers, they leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes to rest, for the next task, they adjusted their physical and mental condition to the best state.

  In an armored truck in the middle of the convoy, a soldier sitting in the co-pilot saw a passing sign and opened a small iron window behind the connected car. At this moment, several people were sitting around a map, discussing the next action plan, and said to one of the middle-aged men in special combat uniforms: "Sir, there is still half a day to the destination, click here. If you continue at this speed, you can reach the nearest village at 7 o'clock."

  "Okay, I see," the middle-aged man did not raise his head after hearing this and continued to look at the map, but nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

  The soldier did not say anything when he saw him, he closed the small iron window again, leaned back in the passenger seat and continued to observe the situation on the road.

  In the rear compartment, the middle-aged man wearing a special combat uniform raised his head and looked at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Okay, we are about to arrive at our destination, you should have understood the battle plan just now. But there is a very important point I want you to remember, the success or failure of this mission is related to the survival of the country, so we can only succeed!"

  "Yes sir!"

  The few soldiers sitting next to them also looked solemn when they heard this, and they obviously understood that this action was of great importance, and their eyes were filled with resolution in unison.

  Nodding in satisfaction, the middle-aged man continued, "We will arrive at the town outside Austin at 7 o'clock and settle in the outer area for one night. Tomorrow morning, you will lead your respective teams, to clear the streets in turn, and we will build fortifications there, use this as a stronghold to gradually clear..."

  Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's words stopped abruptly, after being silent for a moment, he issued an order that shocked everyone, only to see him say: "Clean up all the survivors and infected people indiscriminately."

  "..."

  Hearing this, several captains were stunned, they looked at each other for a moment, and there was a brief silence in the carriage.

  "I know what you're thinking."

  Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, the middle-aged man sighed, patted a captain beside him on the shoulder and said, "No one wants to do this, but I hope everyone knows that our country is going through an unprecedented time and we can only quickly resolve the infected areas, we can no longer care about the people inside..."

  After a while, the team slowly stopped and repaired, and the captain of the carriage got off the car and returned to his team to explain the purpose of the operation.

Seeing that there was no one in the carriage, the middle-aged man leaned back weakly, the astonishing secrets his superiors told him before leaving echoing in his mind.

  "This time, your mission in Austin is to completely annihilate everyone in the city, but you have to deliberately let go of some survivors and let them reach the isolation camp alive, and then I will arrange for reporters to expose the matter… You don't have to look at me like that. I know what you're thinking. Let me tell you the truth. It's been almost half a month since the virus broke out, but we still have no progress in developing a vaccine, but you know that so far the infection number has reached an astonishing number?"

  "We can't just blindly wait for a vaccine to come out, we have proposed to parliament to build large quarantines in every city to keep our citizens as safe as possible, but what are these damn bureaucrats doing to vote? Elections, so we have to find a way by ourselves. We have reached a consensus with the senior military officers. Once the plan of indiscriminate eradication of infected areas is exposed, the Federal Disaster Relief Agency and the military will directly take action to remove all bureaucracy and let the military do the effective implementation is the only way to save our country, you understand!"

  Recalling each sentence, the middle-aged man was exhausted. These secrets were pressuring him and he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't say it. He knew that someone must be watching his every move, so only I can hold onto these words and keep telling myself that it's the right thing to do... right!

  .....

  late.

  The northern outskirts of the city.

  Brian stood on top of the security guard booth, stretched his head through the iron fence and kept looking inside, until his neck hurt, he retracted his head and rested for a while, rubbing his neck uncomfortably, complained: "Did I make a mistake? , How come there are so many factories here, and there are no signs, where is it?

  Although he said that, Brian knew that there was no steel factory here. Obviously, there were some criminals hiding or trading in the surroundings. The so-called steel factory was probably just a title.

  "So what to do? Do you want to go to every room to find it?"

  Hearing Brian's words, Sarah, who was standing below, was also a little distressed, she looked around the surrounding factories, trying to find other clues to determine which factory they were looking for.

  But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any clues. Just as she was about to give up, her eyes suddenly swept over a place full of scrapped cars, and she suddenly froze there, and then rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then pointed at it excitedly and said, "Look, it says 'Fel' here!"

  Brian, who was standing above, heard it and quickly looked over there, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see the word "Fel". He said with some doubts: "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

  "It's on that hanging sign, just those two little black characters below the auto treatment plant."

  After hearing this, Brian looked over there again, and only then did he see the two little characters who were inconspicuous. He suddenly sighed: "Awesome, you can see this."

  "That's right, you don't even look at who I am!" Sarah obviously took advantage of Brian's compliment, lifted her little face and smiled proudly at him.

  Then the two of them walked towards the scrap car processing plant. The gate of the fence was not locked, and the two of them gently pushed the gate and entered.

  But they didn't find the locked car written on the letter outside, the two looked at each other and entered the factory building with the door closed.

  But as they approached, the large red painting on the door stopped them both. Sarah looked at the words and read slowly: "There are monsters, don't open the door!"

  Looking at the big red letters on the door, Brian's head instantly drooped and he couldn't help but complain: "Damn, did I make a mistake? I'm really afraid of what's coming. Are we playing a game?"

  Seeing Brian's appearance, Sarah rolled her eyes, stabbed him with her elbow, and said, "Okay, don't complain, hurry up and find a solution."

  Looking left and right, Brian pondered for a moment and said to Sarah: "The door must not be opened, we don't know how many infected people are inside, and if the door is opened rashly, who knows how many infected people are inside?"

  He then pointed to the left and right and continued, "Let's walk around this factory first to see if we can find another place to enter, pay attention to the surrounding situation and be careful that there are other infected people nearby."

  "Yes." Sarah nodded after hearing this, picked up an iron pipe beside her, stood up, and saw that Brian had walked in the right direction. The road was covered with weeds and dense bushes. If there are infected people hiding, it will be very dangerous.

  In contrast, the road on the left looks very spacious. It seems that there are often vehicles coming and going, and the dirt floor is full of tire marks. Sarah knew that Brian was deliberately taking care of her, just keep it in mind quietly, and then walk to the left.

  But just after the two of them disappeared into the left and right corners, a low "whistling" roar suddenly sounded inside the originally peaceful door.
