Chapter 88 Border Guard
In the afternoon, 4:53.
With a click, the train door slowly opened, revealing an old bus stop that looked dilapidated.
The presence of the train created a lot of white fog around, making it impossible to see places farther away.
Colin put his hands in his pockets, holding the gold card and revolver in his left and right hands respectively. He leaned out of the door and looked around to make sure there was no danger before getting off the train.
After sitting in the car for more than ten hours, the moment his feet touched the ground, he inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.
It was as if destiny had finally returned to his own hands.
At the same time, a prompt appeared in my mind.
[Single Player Trial Mission (1/3) - "Train in the Fog" has been completed. ]
[The rewards will be settled after the task is completed. 】
Another piece of news followed.
[Single Player Trial Mission (2/3) - "Abnormalities in Towns" has been issued. ]
"I knew this damn train wouldn't stop at a normal place."
Colin sighed. When he was on the train, he thought he had come to a normal place at first glance.
Later I noticed that there seemed to be no one in this town...
In the afternoon, there was not a single living person in the huge rural county town.
Now, according to the task prompt, it is finally confirmed that there is an unknown anomaly here.
Then, without paying attention to the people who followed him down, Colin pulled out the parchment and took a look at it.
[Single Player Trial Mission (2/3) - "Abnormalities in the Town"]
[Description: A remote town with few inhabitants. For some reason, it has been blocked for a while and cannot be entered or exited.]
[Requirements: Enter the town, find the survivors, and investigate the internal situation. ]
[Hint: There seem to be traces of other forces’ activities here...]
[Event Reward: "Campfire Points x 250". ]
[Note: This task has a completion time limit. If you do not collect enough information before 9 o'clock tonight, the task will be considered a failure . ]
… …
"There are still survivors in this damn place? Are there other forces?"
Colin was stunned. Being called a "force" by the Bonfire Company... could there be other forces that are equal to the company?
This made him curious and he wondered whether those people were good or bad.
"Before nine o'clock in the evening, it's past four thirty now, there are still more than four hours. We don't know how big this town is. We have to start the action soon..."
Ke Lin did not underestimate this place just because of the word "township". You know, some towns in the country are even larger than cities.
There is still no cell phone positioning and the investigation has not started. Who knows what the situation is here?
While Colin was reading the parchment, the five people behind him saw him staring at a blank piece of paper, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning, and they felt it was inexplicably strange.
What kind of wordless book is this?
Although it was strange, they were tactful enough not to disturb Colin.
But at this moment, a "ding ding ding" sound was heard, and the train doors closed and slowly started.
Colin looked back and saw that the end of the ship was disappearing into the white fog. He didn't know where the ship would go next.
As it left, the white fog around began to disappear, and Colin was finally able to observe his surroundings better.
Under the dim sunset, he saw an old residential area behind the bus stop. The streets between the buildings were dead silent and deserted.
The stench of rotting protein filled the air...
After thinking for a while, Colin took out a lens from his pocket, pinched its upper and lower edges, put it to his left eye, and looked forward.
[No one knows what happened here. Everyone has evacuated. Some food that was not taken away in time has gradually become rotten and smelly after being left unattended for several days.]
"Evacuate? It seems that the mission mentioned that this area is blocked... Was it done by that unknown force?"
Judging from the fact that they would protect ordinary people, that force should be a friendly and lawful one, otherwise they would not do such a thing.
Of course, it is also possible everyone was dragged away somewhere and sacrificed.
However, considering that they still have time to pack up their weak units and run away, Colin is more inclined to believe that they are on the friendly side.
"Okay, good or bad, it's time to act."
Colin gathered up the parchment, sniffed his nose, smelled the air, and walked towards the road that he thought was most likely the "depths".
The five people behind him looked at each other and finally followed him.
Rather than staying there at a loss, it was obviously more appropriate to follow Colin.
There was a lot of messy garbage on the empty streets, and the signs of some shops on both sides could still be seen: Self-service BBQ, Wallace, Qianqian Foot Bath, Longjiang Pork Knuckle Rice, etc.
"It's a pity that no one knows where this is, just Road No. 1, Road No. 2."
Colin withdrew his gaze from the shops that had not yet closed, and walked slowly along the side of the road, silently collecting information.
Finally, after nearly half an hour, he stopped in front of a cordon.
Warning tapes with red letters reading "No Entry, Do Not Cross" crisscrossed the road, blocking all roads ahead, even the narrow aisles between the houses.
Moreover, behind the cordon, there are large areas of wire thorn nets that completely block the road.
If an average person came here and saw these, they would probably just turn around and leave.
But Colin just took a look and directly chose "Ignore the warning and continue the visit" and took out a pair of hydraulic pliers from his backpack.
After deftly cutting a hole in the thorn web, Colin suddenly realized something.
"This mobilization and evacuation capability, as well as this aboveboard blockade... can't it be official power?"
Colin stood up and put away the hydraulic pliers, and made some guesses about the person he was about to contact.
after all……
If you are not an official, it would be difficult to do these things.
Along the way, Kelin didn't smell any dead bodies, nor did he see any traces of blood or fighting...
This shows that during the evacuation process, the evacuees had full trust in the organizers.
Not many people can do this.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this is most likely the case. I just don't know where they evacuated to."
Colin looked at the town behind the cordon, but didn't seem to find much.
However, after walking deeper inside, the situation changed a little.
He finally saw some signs that something was wrong.
For example, a car that was smashed by something...
For example, the messy footprints on the ground...
For example, some bullet shells scattered on the ground...
At this moment, Colin paused and suddenly smelled the scent of human blood appearing on the street.
"Who is it? Are you a survivor?" He did not hide anything, looked inside a barber shop about ten meters away from him, and spoke directly.
No response.
However, just as he was about to ask a second question and take action.
A middle-aged man in a gray shirt staggered out of the barber shop.
His face was covered in blood and his complexion was extremely pale. He looked at Colin with some fear:
"You, are you the 'border guards' sent by the 'Great Wall' to provide support? I am, ahem..."
As he said this, he suddenly couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
