Two thousand and thirteen

Not long after, the rest of the people also came back, followed by a large group.

Lai Jie and Wang Yang ordered a total of 46. Among them were two mothers with children. The children were only five or six years old, and they were so frightened by the zombies that they cried loudly.

Xiao Jun lay next to Ou Zeyang and complained, "Children are so noisy!"

Ou Zeyang agreed: "I hate brats!"

Wu Shuangshuang on the side laughed, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about others, aren't you still a brat?"

Wang Yang came over to have a look, and said, "I will make room for those two children to sleep for a while. The two children were scared by the siege of zombies and didn't sleep well for two days."

Xiao Jun said: "Then sleep on your bed! I don't want a brat drooling on my pillow."

Ou Zeyang: "Don't sleep in my bed either."

Wang Yang looked at the two of them and left helplessly.

Lai Jie and others checked one by one outside. Fortunately, there were no infected people.

Lai Jie shouted: "Get on the bus according to the group I assigned! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there are places!"

More than 40 people squeezed into six cars, and it was suddenly crowded like a bus.Lai Jie arranged for a good person, and said to Ou Zeyang: "Boss, watch carefully, and tell me what's going on."

As the car started, Xiao Jun came to sit with Ou Zeyang as usual, complaining: "The children are really noisy, I'd better stay away!"

There weren't that many places to sit in the car, and the young men stood holding the handles, giving up their seats to the women and the elderly.

Ou Zeyang and Xiaojun squatted in the corner, holding an electronic map to read.

Ou Zeyang clicked on the map to zoom in, and said, "We have already entered the territory of Hunan Province."

Xiao Jun said: "Well, here in Shaoyang..."

Ou Zeyang whispered, "Where are these people going to be sent?"

Xiao Jun: "Wang Yang said to send them to the vicinity of the signal tower. This is not within our search and rescue range, and it is impossible to take them to search and rescue... Well, it is here, and it will take more than an hour."

A man standing next to him glanced at Xiaojun, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.

A woman who looked like an aunt asked: "Young man, are you also in the search and rescue team?"

Ou Zeyang nodded: "We are technicians."

The aunt said kindly: "Seeing that you are still young, how old are you this year?"

Ou Zeyang: "17 years old, almost an adult."

The aunt smiled and sighed: "It's about the same age as my son, but my son is not as promising as you, and I don't know where he is now..."

Xiao Jun asked curiously, "Auntie, what does your son do?"

The aunt said: "Business man, hey, I can't control him. He hangs out all day and doesn't know if he makes any money. He has a lot of bad habits, smoking and drinking."

Ou Zeyang asked, "Where does he do business?"

Aunt looked sad: "Guangzhou... I don't have a phone call all year round. I heard that the virus spread there first, and I don't know now..."

The aunt sighed and did not continue.

The young sister-in-law on the side comforted: "Don't worry too much. My husband is a soldier in the army. When the virus first broke out, he called me and said that they were trying to save people to go to the high seas. Maybe your son has gone to the high seas." out on the high seas."

Auntie relaxed her frown and said, "I hope so..."

Xiaojun said: "Don't worry, the search and rescue team is now conducting search and rescue across the country, and many people have been rescued and returned to the high seas. When you go to the high seas, Auntie, you can look on the survivor list. If you are rescued, there will be a record. "

"That's good, that's good..." Aunt nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.

Ou Zeyang got up and dragged out the prepared mineral water and biscuits from under the bed, and distributed one to each of them.

A young girl came over and asked, "Where are we going?"

Xiaojun said: "Go to the nearby signal tower, our captain will arrange the next thing, don't worry everyone."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. They all looked at the scenery outside the window, eagerly looking forward to reaching their destination soon.

Soon, a towering launch tower not far away was seen.

Lai Jie drove the car, turned on the communicator and said, "Find a safe building nearby."

Wang Yang's voice came: "The small factory over there is nice, should you go and have a look?"

Wu Shuangshuang: "Li Yan and I will go down and have a look first, you wait in the car."

The car stopped, and Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan went out with their guns in hand.

The people in the car were a little strange and started whispering.

Gunshots were heard in the distance, and after a while, Wu Shuangshuang's voice said through the communicator: "It's safe!"

"Got it!" Lai Jie got up and said to the people in the car, "Everyone get out of the car!"

Ou Zeyang and Xiaojun got out of the car, and everyone who saw the other cars got down and gathered in the open space in front of the factory.

Wang Yang and his men followed Wu Shuangshuang into the small factory and continued to search for the remaining zombies. Lai Jie found the leader of the crowd and whispered something.

The crowd was a little restless, and several of the men stared at them warily.

Aunt asked Xiaojun, "Aren't we going to the high seas?"

"We can't go now." Xiaojun explained, "The search and rescue team has a search and rescue area. Only when all the survivors in this area are found can they send a signal to the headquarters. Each regional headquarters will only send people once. come over."

At this time, the people next to him also gathered around and asked questions.

"Then where are we going to wait? Are you going to throw us in this small factory?"

"Now there are zombies outside, where can I go?"

"That's right, and there's nothing to eat, no place to sleep..."

"Save people to the end, send Buddha to the West!"

Xiaojun realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly explained a few words, but more people asked him.

"We can't let us fend for ourselves!"

"What are you rescue teams doing!"

Ou Zeyang got a headache from the noise, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet first, listen to me!"

The crowd fell silent, all looking at Ou Zeyang.

"I..." Ou Zeyang was a little dumbfounded when he was watched by so many angry people. He searched for Lai Jie in the crowd, but he didn't see him.

Xiaojun signaled him to speak quickly with his eyes.

Ou Zeyang suddenly shouted in his heart, what do you want me to say? !

At this time, the aunt encouraged me: "Young man, don't be afraid, just say what you have. Everyone just wants to know what's going on, and there is no malice."

"I... that's the case. First of all, I assure everyone that we will never leave you alone!" Ou Zeyang was a little nervous, thinking quickly in his mind, and continued after a pause, "I know, such a big disaster happened, Everyone is very scared and anxious, eager to reach the safest place immediately, I can understand everyone's feelings. However, I hope everyone can think about it, right now, at the same moment, there are thousands of people like us Our compatriots are struggling in danger, and they also need our help. One day’s delay may mean the lives of many people. These people may have your friends, or even brothers and parents. Everyone’s life is equal at this time , we need to bring the hope of life to more people.”

The few people who were more excited before became quiet.

After a while, one of them asked in a low voice: "But you are gone, what should we do if we can't protect ourselves? We can't let us wait to die, can we?"

"Of course not." Ou Zeyang said, "Look at me, I'm only 17 years old, but for the one I love, even though I don't know anything, I'm still working hard to survive, why can't you? In times of crisis, people need to save themselves, and it is often this kind of people who can survive better!"

"That's right." Lai Jie came behind Ou Zeyang at some point and startled him, "The country has not abandoned you, nor will it abandon anyone. Our search and rescue team rescues thousands of survivors every day. , and countless people have sacrificed for it. We hope that everyone will survive, but we are also human beings, not gods. Many times we have more than enough power but not enough power, and we will face dilemmas. And our only belief is to do everything Possibly, rescue more compatriots. And, don't give up any of them!"

The man next to Lai Jie also said at this time: "Comrades, don't worry, there are so many strong men among us, are we still afraid of those brainless zombie monsters?! Xiao Yan, haven't you learned Taekwondo? Shouldn't you stand up and protect the women in the team now? And Xiao Wang, aren't you the best basketball player? When the time comes, you'll throw the zombie's head as a ball!"

There were bursts of laughter from the crowd, and the stagnant atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Lai Jie said: "We will give you some guns, ammunition and food, and guarantee the rations for the next month. Believe me, the search and rescue team will come soon. When we came along the road, we saw the explosion There are traces of them, and they are searching this way."

Wang Yang, Wu Shuangshuang and others also came out at this time, Wang Yang said: "The building has been searched thoroughly, and it is safe."

Lai Jie said, "Everyone come with us."

After a group of people were settled, it was already late.Everyone cooked a meal in front of the factory, sat around and ate their fill, and began to allocate beds.Next to the factory is the dormitory, leaving a lot of trouble.Lai Jie and Wang Yang called young and middle-aged men, taught them how to use guns and pistols, helped them arrange nightly duties, and built necessary fortifications. Xiaojun and Ou Zeyang also made some simple sirens to exchange give them.

After a night's rest, the two teams set off the next day.Almost all the biscuits, cans and food behind the supply cart were left to them.Ou Zeyang and Xiaojun did the math, the leftovers were only enough for their group to feed for two days, but it didn't matter, as they passed the supermarket along the way, they could still find some.

"It'll be there soon!!!" Xiao Jun shouted loudly in the carriage, hugging Ou Zeyang tightly, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, I miss you so much!"

Ou Zeyang patted Xiaojun on the back and said, "Okay, don't worry, we will meet again soon!"

Xiaojun nodded and said, "Then it's settled, don't break your promise!"

Ou Zeyang: "Of course!"

At noon, the convoy approached Changsha. The two teams stopped the car, replaced the wine with water, and had a breakup meal.

Lai Jie clinked glasses with Wang Yang and said, "Stop talking, I'll wait for you at the celebration banquet!"

Wang Yang: "Each to each other!"

Everyone didn't say much. After eating, they packed up their equipment, clapped each other's hands, and said goodbye. They got in the car and went their separate ways.

Xiaojun waved to Ou Zeyang through the glass, and Ou Zeyang made an OK gesture and smiled at him.The two smirked at each other until they could no longer see each other's base vehicle...

The weather is getting colder and colder, it's only mid-November, but it seems to have come to the twelfth lunar month.

Ou Zeyang wrapped his scarf around his neck and looked at the cold wind howling outside the window.

After Xiaojun left, he suddenly felt empty. Only then did he realize that the guy who was always making noise in his ears was actually quite cute. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear that non-stop talking mouth. .

Ou Zeyang sighed, went back to the bed and lay down on the bed to flip through the picture album, and felt bored after flipping through it for a while, so he threw it aside.I took out the thick theoretical formula book and felt sleepy again after reading it for a while.

Time is hard to bear...

Ou Zeyang couldn't help sighing.

Finally, before dark, the convoy arrived near Wuhan.

Lai Jie got out of the car to tidy up the food he had scavenged from the supermarket. It was cold and windy, and he came in through the gap in the car door whistling.Ou Zeyang was terrified from the cold, and ran to close the door.

After a while, Lai Jie, Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan all got into the car, and Lai Jie threw a bag of vacuum-packed chicken legs to Ou Zeyang.

Li Yan shouted: "Boss, you've been biased since I came here, why didn't I?"

Lai Jie squinted and said: "I didn't take a few in total. Who told you to be older than Lao Xiao? If you are younger than Lao Xiao, I will give you the chicken legs."

Ou Zeyang took the chicken leg, and he took it apart and ate it happily.

At night, Ou Zeyang dug out the silk quilt that Xiaojun took in the supermarket, thinking that Xiaojun still had a foresight, this quilt is warmer than cotton quilt when sleeping, and it feels very comfortable to the touch.He has grown so big, and he has never been covered with such a high-end quilt!

If I had known earlier, I would have given Brother Xiaojie a bed too...

Ou Zeyang huddled under the quilt and thought in a daze.

After turning off the lights, Ou Zeyang fell asleep very quickly, probably because he hadn't slept well in the past two days because of his cranky thoughts, and the drowsiness came quickly.

He had a dream. In the dream, there were bright red blood and corpses all over the ground, surrounded by rotting zombies, rushing towards him one after another!

He yelled and kicked one away, and ran in a panic, when another zombie rushed towards him!In horror, he reached out and grabbed the zombie's rotten head, and knocked out the zombie's eyes!The gray eyeballs trembled slightly, as if they were still staring at him.He backed away and shook off his eyeballs. The zombie was still alive, and it opened its blood red mouth to bite him!He yelled in horror, scratching the zombie's face like crazy, digging through the head, revealing the red and black brains!The zombie stopped moving, but he couldn't stop, and continued to dig and drag!There is only one thought in my mind, destroy him, destroy him!Blood splashed all over his face, his hands trembled, his whole body trembled, and he wanted to yell but couldn't.

A few zombies rushed over from the opposite side, and he fell to the ground, feeling unprecedented panic and despair!

Don't...don't!

do not come!

Ou Zeyang opened his eyes suddenly, he was still in the base car.

It's a dream... It's a dream... It's okay, it's okay...

Ou Zeyang breathed heavily, comforted himself, and took a few deep breaths, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

The dream just now was so real that he could almost feel the sticky blood, with a slight temperature, seeping into the skin like tarsal maggots, no matter how much he rubbed it, he couldn't wipe it off.

Ou Zeyang wrapped the quilt tightly and shivered intermittently. After a long time, the panic still couldn't go away.

He thought of Raj again.

Lai Jie slept on the lower bunk, and Ou Zeyang could almost imagine his steady breathing and slightly heaving chest.

Ou Zeyang tossed and turned, but still couldn't help getting up, trembling slightly, he crawled to the lower berth.

When he got into Lai Jie's quilt, the oncoming warmth made him shiver again, and he shivered, only then did he realize that his whole body was cold.He could feel that Lai Jie woke up when he climbed down. He hugged Lai Jie's waist tremblingly, smelling the familiar breath, he was a little dizzy until Lai Jie turned over and pulled open his hand.

Lai Jie whispered, "Why are you so cold?"

Ou Zeyang's voice trembled: "It's cold..." He wanted to say that he had a nightmare, but he was afraid that Lai Jie would laugh at him for being timid, so he held back.

Lai Jie fell silent, Ou Zeyang counted the sound of Lai Jie's breathing, feeling extremely nervous.

After what seemed like a long time, Lai Jie said, "You sleep on my bed." Then he got up and got out of bed, gathered up the quilt, and tore off the silk quilt from Ou Zeyang's bed to cover it.

Ou Zeyang said: "Then where do you sleep?"

Rai Jie: "I'll sleep on it."

Lai Jie climbed to the upper bunk, covered Ou Zeyang's Doraemon quilt and fell asleep.

Lai Jie's quilt was very warm, and Ou Zeyang was covered with two thick quilts, and he soon became warm, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was sour and bitter, but I didn't want to cry anymore.

Ou Zeyang opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling, as if he could feel a numb pain.
