Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country

October 30, 2024, 18:44 pm - there are still five hours and sixteen minutes before the "Clock of Disaster" hangs high in the sky of blue stars.

Zhonghe City.

"Hurry, hurry, drive faster, or you will miss the party." A military pickup truck was driving on the road, and Wu Ziquan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, urged his comrades.

"I've already pressed the accelerator to death. How do you want me to accelerate? It's a bit difficult to make the car stronger." The comrade said with a helpless smile.

"Are you out of gas? Would it be better if I gave you some gas?" Wu Ziquan thought for a while and asked.

"Where did you get the oil? Nowadays, this thing is basically owned by the public, and you hid it privately? It's not a good idea to hide it, it will be disposed of." The comrade asked curiously.

"What I'm talking about is this, come on - come on! Come on!" Wu Ziquan clenched his fists to cheer, and then raised his eyebrows: "Do you feel the strength? Will you hurry up?"

The corner of the comrade's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's tough on you, but I do have a faster way."

"what?"

The comrade sneered: "Zi Quan, after you get off the car and reduce the weight of the car, won't it be faster?"

"Forget it." Wu Ziquan scratched his head and smiled, then looked at his watch: "There are still fifteen minutes left, can you catch up with the beginning?"

"There should be no problem. Trust my driving skills. I'm a little hungry too. I'm waiting for the luxurious dinner tonight." The comrade shrugged.

The reason why they leave the base is to carry out daily patrols, maintenance, overhaul and other work.

Normally, this work would not last until now, but everyone went to watch the special military parade in the afternoon, but the work would not be completed by itself, so it was delayed for a while.

The intensive maintenance and overhaul before the era of natural disasters is to reduce the probability of risks after the era of natural disasters.

If I suffer a lot now, I might be able to save my life.

After all, during the ice disaster, every time you go out to 'work', you may pay a heavy price.

"Now that I think about it, I really can't believe that we actually appeared in the military parade that people all over the country were watching, and even occupied three full seconds of it!" Wu Ziquan sighed with some joy:

"My parents saw me and called me immediately to praise me."

As respectable warriors who put their own safety behind and stationed in the most dangerous place in the Eastern Kingdom during the ice disaster, all the teams here showed their group photos and names during the afternoon parade.

Although each photo lasts only three seconds and the information is basically unclear, the video can always be saved and watched over and over again, and these people will be forever recorded in the hymn of the East.

Hero is a very grand word, but in fact many people are heroes.

"Being small also has the advantage of being small. If you stand in the front row, you can show your face clearly." The comrade said with a smile, "Unlike me, only my head is exposed."

"Just think you are complimenting me." Wu Ziquan rolled his eyes, and when he was about to look at the scenery retreating at high speed outside the window, he raised his eyebrows: "There is also a pickup truck over there. It is on duty on the other side and is coming back now. Lao Qiao and the others?"

The comrade in the driver's seat looked over after hearing this, and then nodded: "I guess so, that's a coincidence."

After all, there are not many people in Zhonghe City now, and since it is a military pickup truck, it can only be one of our own.

There is no need to deliberately get closer. When both parties have the same destination, the two pickup trucks quickly converge on the same road.

"Old Qiao... eh?" The comrade relaxed the accelerator slightly and let the two cars run parallel. Then he was about to say hello, but found that the person opposite him was not Lao Qiao. There were five people sitting on it, but none of them he knew.

On the contrary, the soldier in the pickup truck opposite noticed Wu Ziquan and the two men. The man in the co-pilot nodded, but there was no dialogue.

"Who is this..." the comrade asked in a low voice, "Is it a comrade from other places in Zhonghe?"

"I don't know who it is, but... you'd better look at the military rank." Wu Ziquan looked forward with firm eyes, "My suggestion is... drive well."

After hearing this, the comrade glanced at the situation next door, then immediately looked away, sat upright, and drove hard.

The things on other people's shoulders are slightly more than mine.

This is the level where you must salute when you encounter someone on the road - and there is more than one person with this military rank. Among the five people in the car, none of them has a lower rank!

"I think your suggestion is right." The comrade nodded silently.

But the destinations of both parties were indeed the same, and it seemed that the base already knew that the other party was coming. The soldiers at the sentry only stepped forward to talk for a few words before letting the vehicle, which did not belong to the base, pass.

Soon, two pickup trucks stopped in the parking space at the entrance of the base.

Open parking spaces can only be used for these two days. In another thirty hours, all vehicles will have to be parked in garages or covered parking spaces.

The base at this time has also been completely renovated. After transformation, it also has a strong ability to cope with low temperatures.

"Hello, you two should be soldiers here, right?" After the five people got off the car, the soldier who was in the co-pilot took the initiative to come to Wu Ziquan and his comrades.

After thinking about it, Wu Ziquan saluted first to remain polite, and then nodded:

"Sir, yes, may I help you?"

"You don't need to be so restrained. We are not commanders. We should be future teammates." The other party waved his hand and then asked: "Then you should know where your company captain Zhuang Zhihong is, right? Take us to see him."

"The company captain should be in the hall with everyone now, preparing to watch tonight's party. I will take you over to find him now." Wu Ziquan suppressed the thoughts in his mind, nodded, and then asked:

"But I can ask where these... comrades are from. Are they from Zhonghe City? Is there anything going on with Team Zhuang?

Um—Let me introduce myself first. I am the third team member of the first battalion of the Zhonghe left-behind army. "

The comrade next to him nudged him with his elbow, as if to tell him not to ask so many questions.

However, the other party was more refined and easy-going - at least the soldier he was talking to was like that. He didn't mind much and responded:

"We are not from Zhonghe City. We are here because we will join here during the Ice Disaster and work with you.

As for our identities, we are all members of the "Xinhuo" team. My code name is "Gan Chai". There is no other comment at the moment. "

"Sorry." Wu Ziquan immediately stopped asking, looked at his nose and heart, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva - he was a little shocked.

The military ranks on the shoulders of the five of you...are you telling me now that you are all just small team members?

Wu Ziquan looked at the military rank on his shoulder again. This is what a small team member should have, right? What kind of team are you guys?

This temperament, this conversation!

How could I be a teammate with you?

But the other party should not make such a joke with him, so Wu Ziquan can deduce one thing. The "Xinhuo" team they call must be an extremely special and secretive force of the Eastern Kingdom!
