500 meters away from where the plane landed, an "iron coffin" was stuck straight in the middle of the rubble. After five minutes of silence, the faint buzzing sound of electricity rang out. The door of the hibernation chamber slowly opened with the sound of air leaking.
"Ahem — Blergh —!"
Jiang Chen stumbled out of the hibernation chamber. With his arm supporting himself against the wall, he vomited a few times on the ground.
Just before the plane crashed, he sensed something was wrong. He immediately walked into the washroom, locked the door, and took out the virtual reality hibernation chamber from the storage dimension. Although the correct use of this thing was to connect to the virtual reality network, based on the quality standards of PAC, this thing could be used as a temporary shelter. When the culture fluid filled the hibernation chamber, its ability to withstand a fall was even stronger than the power armor.
After confirming the plane would land hard in the city through GPS, Jiang Chen placed a time bomb on the wall of the washroom and lay inside the hibernation chamber. Almost at the same time the hibernation chamber activated, the time bomb exploded on the side of the plane. The turbulent airflow brought the entire hibernation chamber out of the plane.
But Jiang Chen didn't expect the "user experience" of a hard landing to be this uncomfortable. Although the hibernation chamber had the functions of slow descent and earthquake resistance, it was still a bit difficult to fall from a height of more than one hundred meters.
Jiang Chen rested against the wall for a while. He took a deep breath, stood up, and began to examine the surrounding environment.
The half-collapsed building didn't look like it was hit by a plane, but more like it was destroyed by a bomb. Combined with the surrounding yellow lines and the situation on MLL Island, this should be the hotspot of the battle between the government forces and the guerrillas.
Not far away, there was a flash of fire. From the broken fuselage, the passengers inside probably didn't survive.
"Then … I just need to contact the guerrillas and I should be able to leave the country. But I'm the only survivor, it's a bit troublesome … "Jiang Chen let out a sigh as he put the hibernation chamber into the storage dimension. He stepped over a twisted steel bar and walked onto the street.
For some reason, the street was eerily quiet.
From the unnatural silence, Jiang Chen immediately smelled something unusual.
"Can't you see an ambulance on the street after what happened?"
With a slight frown, he took out his phone and dialed Ayesha's number.
"The user you called is not in the service area, or his phone is turned off …"
Jiang Chen hung up and glanced at the top left corner of the phone.
No signal?
Here, I have to popularize a common sense that most people would get wrong. Ordinary cell phones used signal base stations and signal cables to make calls. If it was an international call, a submarine cable would be added. Only specialized satellite phones (such as Iridium cell phones in the United States) can make calls via satellite.
If the call didn't go through, there could only be two reasons.
One was that the plane destroyed all the signal base antennas, and the other was that Country F took the initiative to shut down the signal base in City K.
The former was obviously unrealistic, so it could only be the latter.
"Shut down the communication base station? But why? "Putting away the phone, Jiang Chen frowned in thought.
It was understandable that the phone could not be made because of the plane crash, but Country F directly shut down the communication base station, which was a bit thought-provoking.
Did they not want to provide disaster relief after the plane crash?
Or, did something happen in City K that they had to hide?
From time to time, the sound of cannons came from afar. It was obvious that a war was happening outside of City K. With the noise from afar, the silence on the street was particularly eerie. It was as if this area was not a city, but a graveyard …
"Ahhhhhh! F * ck off! Shit！”
Screams suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the "cemetery".
The smell of blood followed the scream, and in the hazy light, there seemed to be an indistinct figure.
Jiang Chen gulped. His hand reached into his pocket and took out a pistol from the storage dimension.
It was not because he thought it would be useful, but the metal texture of the pistol gave him a sense of security.
The person's face was lifeless, and his eyes were bloodshot. Under the illumination of the street lights, it was clearly visible even from ten meters away.
Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.
[Could it be …]
[That's impossible!]
Although he thought that, Jiang Chen subconsciously took out the pistol and aimed at the civilian staggering toward him.
“stop”
There was no reaction. When he heard Jiang Chen's voice, the civilian with blood all over his face sped up and revealed his blood-stained teeth.
Without a doubt, only the dead would not be afraid of weapons …
Bang!
The gunshot broke the silence of the street.
With a bloody hole in its forehead, the zombie with lifeless eyes fell to the ground.
"What the hell happened … Fu * k." Jiang Chen cursed as he lowered the gun. He walked to the side of the zombie, took out a dagger, and cut open the back of its neck.
Different from the zombies in the apocalypse, there was no trace of X1 bacteria infection at the back of the zombie's head, and there were no rice-sized crystals. It seemed that the zombies here were infected by a completely different pathogen.
When Jiang Chen saw this, he was relieved.
"Hungry …"
A low growl came from both ends of the street. Jiang Chen looked up and saw the zombies had surrounded them. In the houses on the side of the street, horrifying faces were plastered on the glass windows, smearing blood.
"Is it because of the gunshot?" Jiang Chen looked at the pistol in his hand and muttered to himself, "Whatever, let's retreat for now."
Then, he put away his weapon and began to travel …
The cold wind blew by and rolled up a few bags.
Keeping his left hand flat, Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched awkwardly.
It didn't work?
What's going on?
The windows of the apartment building shattered, and a person covered in blood fell onto the street along with the glass shards. From the height of the third floor, a normal person would have been crippled, but this person seemed to be fine. He staggered up from the ground and aimed his bloodthirsty pupils at the only living thing on the street – Jiang Chen.
His hair stood up. Jiang Chen gave up on trying to travel and immediately took out the Reaper Assault Rifle from the storage dimension.
The zombies fell from the building like dumplings and swarmed over with the zombies on the side of the street.
The muzzle spat out fire as the bullets tore apart the nearest zombies.
Jiang Chen put the rifle under his armpit, held the rifle with one hand, and picked up the laser sword with the other. Without hesitation, he swung at a zombie leaping at him and split its ugly face in half.
"Fu * k! Did I make a mistake?! This isn't the f * cking apocalypse! "
He kicked away the zombie leaping at him. Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and changed the mode of the laser sword as he swung out a spinning light blade. At the same time, he threw the handle of the laser sword back into the storage dimension and instantly took out a new clip to replace the empty one.
Flesh and bullets flew everywhere as he desperately carved out a path of blood from the surrounding zombies. Jiang Chen held the rifle and sprinted to the tallest apartment building nearby.
Along the way, he reached for a pickup truck and put it into the storage dimension. He ran into the apartment building, turned around, and knocked down a few zombies chasing after him. With a wave of his left hand, he blocked the pickup truck at the entrance of the apartment building.
Looks like the storage dimension can still be used!
The zombies swarmed over and pinned the pickup truck at the entrance. The huge force even made the metal shell scream in pain. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't force the door open.
Breathing heavily, Jiang Chen leaned against the entrance of the apartment building as he lowered the rifle in his hand.
After a moment of rest, he grinned at the zombies outside the entrance and raised his left hand.
Looking at the clear and energetic lines, Jiang Chen's eyebrows locked together.
Confusion lingered in his mind.
Why can't I use it?
