Chapter 52 Military Base

　　It was December and winter had already begun, but fortunately the climate in the Americas was quite pleasant and did not affect people's travel.

　　But the change of seasons has seriously affected the length of day and night. When Lyon and his team arrived at the military base more than 100 kilometers away from Atlanta, it was already 2 pm, and there were less than three hours left before sunset.

　　The location of the military base is quite remote. There are no human towns within a radius of 30 miles, and there is only one rather hidden path going up and down the mountain.

　　It is also because of this that there are no zombies gathering outside this military base, which invisibly reduces a lot of trouble for this mission.

　　There are a total of 15 people in this exploration team. In addition to five professional logistics drivers, the other nine are elites selected by Lyon without affecting the normal operation of the base.

　　Including Kevlar, Daryl, Sean, Rick, Colonel William and his two subordinates, the hand-broken girl Peggy and her strong brother Sherman.

　　Everyone here not only has strong personal strength, but also has other abilities.

　　And unlike in the past, in order to reduce the dangers that might be encountered during the mission, Leon brought a whole truck of weapons and equipment. Even if there are thousands of zombies in the base, there will no longer be a shortage of ammunition.

　　Standing outside the military base, Leon observed carefully. The first floor of the base looked like a common communication station hidden in the forest. It did not cover a large area, with a yard of about 600 to 700 square meters and a house embedded in the mountain. They were surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. The main entrance was a metal gate welded with thick steel bars, and outside the gate was a square security booth.

　　After getting off the bus, everyone quickly gathered near the security booth with weapons on their backs. In the booth there was a zombie whose head had been shot. He was wearing a military uniform and had a pistol on his waist. The metal door was not locked and had been pushed open a crack.

　　Leon took a quick look, pointed at the military base, and said to the team members:

　　"It's not long before the sun sets. Our mission today is to clean up the first floor of the base and find a place for ourselves to rest."

　　Everyone nodded in agreement, picked up their weapons and followed Leon.

　　He picked up the assault rifle, kicked open the metal door, and strode in.

　　After entering the base, the first thing that catches your eye is a small yard covered with weeds. The dense weeds block people's view. There are one or two bright flowers mixed in the weeds. I wonder what kind of flowers they are that can bloom in winter?

　　Leon and the others carefully checked the yard and saw no lurking zombies, so they walked towards the only row of wooden doors in the yard.

　　The six wooden doors connected in parallel were locked and could not be opened.

　　After getting Leon's permission, Sean walked to the door with a shotgun, aimed at the door lock, and fired three shots in succession, creating a hole the size of a human head in the door lock.

　　At the same time, a roar that was familiar to everyone came out from the doorway.

　　Rick and others stepped forward with submachine guns and assumed shooting stances. After Sean pushed open the wooden door, everyone did not hesitate and fired a hail of bullets at any standing figure in the house.

　　A dozen zombies in military uniforms were immediately beaten into sieves.

　　Deep in the mountains, they finally didn't have to worry about the noise attracting other zombies, and everyone could use guns freely.

　　When the gunfire stopped and the roars of the boss zombies could no longer be heard, Leon walked into the room and saw a fairly ordinary reception room.

　　He glanced around and found two paths leading to the back on the left and right in the corner against the wall.

　　Daryl nodded to the right at the crossbow man, and Daryl understood what he meant and walked into the right door with a few men.

　　Lyon took Kevera, Colonel William, and Peggy and her brother and walked in through the left door.

　　There was no conversation along the way. After passing through a slightly gloomy corridor, they came to a place similar to an office. More than 30 zombies dressed as clerks immediately noticed the intruders and turned around and rushed towards the door.

　　"shot!"

　　Leon shouted, holding the assault rifle, and immediately started firing. The bullets penetrated the zombies' heads mercilessly, turning them yellow and white, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It only took one round of magazines for five fully automatic assault rifles to clear out the more than 30 zombies.

　　The flying bullets also damaged several computers, but fortunately the power supply had been cut off, and the broken screens only made a slight explosion sound and did not cause any more trouble.

　　After everyone's inspection, it seemed that this office was where the military base handled business contacts with the outside world. Most of the documents contained purchase and delivery records of various supplies and materials, and some were encrypted information that could not be easily obtained.

　　After searching the office without much gain, Lyon and his five men continued to move forward and soon found buildings such as the cafeteria, dormitory, entertainment room, lounge, etc.

　　He met up with Daryl and others in front of a metal door. The metal door was quite large and was connected to a computer and a fingerprint lock. It had a smooth surface and no keyhole or other facilities. Leon guessed that this was the way to the lower level.

　　At this time, more than an hour had passed.

　　Without forcing himself to explore any further, he said to everyone:

　　"We will rest on this floor tonight. Everyone, search this floor carefully again and make sure to clear out anything that could cause danger."

　　Then, Leon pointed at the fingerprint lock and said to the one-armed girl:

　　"Ms. Peggy, you are an expert at cracking computer programs. I want you to crack this tonight."

　　"If you fail, we will use explosives or oxygen cutting machines to violently demolish this place tomorrow."

　　Peggy nodded seriously and said:

　　"Boss, I will try my best."

　　Leon nodded and said to Sherman beside the girl:

　　"Big guy, go call in the five support personnel outside."

　　"Tonight, we will stay in the lounge and let them move the supplies in and prepare dinner for us."

　　Sherman glanced at his sister, then nodded naively and turned to go outside.

　　After giving the orders, he also took Cavila and William and started to search again. Before entering the base, he still had some expectations.

　　After entering here, he discovered that there was actually nothing special about the military base.

　　Maybe a few floors below, where the drones are manufactured, will bring him some surprises.

　　At night, he played cards and chatted with several people in the team, and cultivated some relationships.

　　I also talked indirectly with Sean Rick about the issue of children.

　　Leon discovered that they had already made plans for the future of the unborn girl. The girl would have the same surname as Rick and Carl, and Sean was also confirmed as her godfather.

　　He vaguely sensed that there was still some resentment in the two people's hearts, but it seemed that they were forcibly suppressed by the two people.

　　After all, human beings are selfish, and it is impossible for them to pretend nothing happened after a misunderstanding.

　　After nightfall, Kevila took the initiative to get into his bed and started playing a little game between the two of them.
