C12 Victory Day 2
In the quiet canned factory, a gray and white shadow suddenly flashed past.
A mutated mouse that was sleeping on the ground noticed them. The two shadows flashed behind a container. Then, a strange smell floated into the mouse's nose.
Oh... This damn smell was like a dead mutated cockroach that had been sun-dried for three days... There was also a strange smell of grease... Eh? Wait...
It was the smell of a human!
The mouse was shocked. Finally, it had come to eat food after waiting for so long!
It remembered the last time it had eaten a human's corpse. The soft brain juice mixed with the fresh meat of the pork... Just thinking about it made it drool.
No! I will definitely eat this supper. No one else can snatch it from me!
The mouse did not alert its companions. It ran alone to the back of the container.
There was nothing.
At this moment, the mouse felt a heat on its head. Before it could raise its head to look, it felt someone riding on its body. Before it could scream, the person used his left hand to grab its throat and make it unable to make a sound. Immediately after, a knife suddenly shot out from the person's right wrist and pierced into the mouse's right eye.
It was easy, clean, and swift.
Ashes stood up from the mouse's corpse and gently wiped off the blood on the sleeve sword. Then, he made a gesture to Moorer and Meow, who were hiding on the roof. Moorer gently jumped onto the ground, and Meow used its night vision to scout the roof.
This was a three-story building with a roof and a warehouse. It was 50 meters long and 10 meters wide. Moorer and the others had entered from the second floor on the south side of the building, but in fact, the hiding spot that Ashes mentioned was on the north side of the first floor.
Although it was late at night, there were still many monsters wandering around.
It seemed that if he wanted to reach the hiding spot safely, Ashes would have to return to his old profession and play "filtrate".
Unlike Ashes and Meow, who were infiltrators, Moorer was completely unfamiliar with this skill. He could only watch Ashes and Meow flying around the beam, while he could only slowly move forward on the ground. He was also constantly worried about whether he had woken up those terrifying monsters.
On the beam, Meow and Ashes's cooperation was perfect. Meow expressed that the monsters on the beam might threaten the three of them, and Ashes flicked out the sleeve sword and pounced over. Before the monsters could react, he would kill them. Now, Moorer's greatest role was probably to catch the monsters that Ashes and the others had thrown down from the beam and try his best not to let them fall to the ground and make any noise.
Finally, they reached the stairwell on the second floor. It was no longer useful to climb the beam. Ashes and Meow jumped down from the top without making any sound.
"How strange, where is Moorer?" Ashes asked.
In fact, Moorer was not far from them, only a few meters away. However, this place was so dark that Ashes couldn't see anything clearly.
Meow was different. In the dark night, it could see clearer than anyone else. It quickly found Moorer in the darkness and laughed out loud.
Without Meow and Ashes's guidance, he would have to figure out how to get to the next few meters. At this moment, Moorer had his back arched and his face stiffened. He looked like he was facing a great calamity, no different from an unlucky person who accidentally stepped into the lightning zone.
After about a minute, Moorer finally arrived at the stairwell. Ashes reminded him that the first floor had been cleaned up a long time ago, but for the sake of safety, Moorer still let Meow go down to investigate first.
In less than a minute, Moorer and Ashes saw a pair of green eyes in the stairway leading to the first floor. It was Meow. It seemed that there was no threat on the first floor.
When they passed by an office, Ashes suddenly pulled Moorer and Meow, who were still walking forward, and pointed at the office. It seemed that the hiding spot was here.
Under a paper box, Meow found a door that looked like an entrance to a basement. When Ashes and Moorer opened the door, the amount of supplies in front of them made Moorer and Meow dumbfounded.
It was a cellar that was about half a meter deep. There were all kinds of canned food piled up at least four piles. Moorer could not count them all with one glance!
"I've struck it rich!" Moorer said in a low voice. He put down his backpack and pulled the zipper to the maximum. Then he bent down to plunder the canned food.
Ashes helped to open the backpack, but at this time, under the moonlight, Ashes found that Moorer's backpack was filled with a sky-blue dress, which seemed to be a children's dress.
Moorer didn't seem to care about what Ashes had discovered. He used both hands to rack up the canned food in his backpack. When he had stuffed about 20 cans, Ashes stopped him and told him that the canned food was enough. Otherwise, it would affect the speed of their retreat.
Since they were already on the first floor, Moorer and the others did not plan to return the way they came. They jumped out of the office's window and returned to the six-wheeled pickup.
The entire infiltration process took less than 20 minutes, but for the constantly on alert Payson, it felt like two centuries had passed.
When Moorer and the others got on the car, Payson started the engine and left the canned factory.
Under the guidance of Ashes, Payson circled around the district and finally stopped in a relatively far away grass hut.
"Oh, that's right, Payson. Come, this is what I just found. I won't use it, so I'll give it to you as a gift …" Ashes said.
Ashes took out a 42 revolving pistol from his long robe. It was a 10 mm pistol bullet, and the capacity was six rounds. Although it looked old, its accuracy and power were still quite good.
Payson played with the old gun in his hand. In fact, with his picky personality, this kind of old weapon would not even enter his eyes. However, this was a gift from his teammate, so he had to accept it. In the end, he said, "Thank you."
After Moorer and Meow finished counting the number and types of canned food that they brought back, their joyful mood suddenly cooled down. These 20 plus cans of canned food were all dried meat cans and biscuits cans, and there was not a single liquid food.
"Ashes, Payson, our food problem has indeed been solved, but the liquid food is a problem …" Moorer said.
"I know, this is our next task." Ashes took out the map and pulled everyone over to talk, "Look, we are right here. Not far from us is an old bucket water warehouse. We don't need to dream about the bucket water, but there must be water in the three giant water towers there … As long as we find a container, we can get a considerable amount of drinking water!"
"Then let's just do it and get the water tower." Moorer said excitedly.
"No!" Payson shook his head, "Dig drinking water is such an important resource. That DSi organization will definitely send heavy troops to protect it. If we go and snatch it now, we will definitely be sending ourselves to death!"
"Payson is right." Ashes agreed, "This water tower is not like the canned food factory. It was already guarded by the Survivor Center when we were in charge. DSi has so many people, I think they won't give up on such a good resource."
"Then... What are your plans?" Moorer asked.
"That's what I think. We are just waiting. When the sun rises and the sky starts to brighten, we will sneak in and steal the water. This is the time when the enemy is at their most relaxed, so it will be much safer to steal the water at this time!"
"Alright, then we'll listen to you. Let's rest here for now. We'll set off at around four o'clock in the morning!"
"Alright, understood!"
Moorer and the others entered a short hibernation. What they didn't know was that on a high-rise building that was about two kilometers away from them, there was a person wearing a professional investigation suit monitoring them with a night vision device.
After confirming that Moorer and the others were resting, the person picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke in a voice that only a young woman would use.
"Command center! This is investigator Lu-5. Please pay attention, Little Fish has taken the bait..."
