Two thousand and thirteen

When a new day came, Lai Jie and others returned along the same road.

Among the four captured by the police, a researcher knocked over the research vessel while escaping, scratched his foot, the virus spread from the wound, and eventually turned into a zombie, and a mercenary was also infected on the way .The other two were mercenaries hired by Sun Mingyu. They came here for money, but they didn't do anything serious.

Lai Jie asked the two to follow, and decided how to deal with them after contacting the headquarters.

When Heyu and Yang Yongming returned to the village, the villagers were very happy and entertained them with a table of sumptuous meals.

After lunch, Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang discussed it and decided to go to the nearby signal tower as soon as possible so that they could communicate with the headquarters.

He Nianhuai held Lai Jie's hand, very reluctantly: "Brother Xiaojie, why don't you leave tomorrow! I'll take you to play in front of our village."

Yang Yongming patted his son's head and said with a smile: "Your Brother Xiaojie still has important things to do, how can you have the time to play with you?"

He Nianhuai: "Then are you coming back?"

Lai Jie thought for a while and said, "Yes, we will all come back when there are no more zombies on our land."

He Nianhuai: "Zombies? Those monsters that bite people?"

Lai Jie patted He Nianhuai's head, and said to He Yu, "I'm not in charge of your search and rescue here. Before long, there should be a search and rescue team to take you to the high seas."

He Yu: "We can protect ourselves and don't have to go to the high seas. Besides, most people in the village don't want to leave here."

"It's not about protecting yourself." Lai Jie had a headache and explained patiently, "The search and rescue team is now searching across the country and taking the survivors to the high seas. When the national search and rescue is completed, the military will return to the mainland. Indiscriminate bombing to ensure all zombies are eliminated. You will not be safe here."

Yang Yongming: "Bomb the entire continent?"

Rai Jie: "Yes, that way we can ensure that all the zombies are wiped out."

Yang Yongming said angrily: "It's crazy! If the entire continent is bombed, the zombies will be killed and the ecological environment of the entire earth will be destroyed at the same time! This is completely self-defeating!"

Lai Jie said helplessly: "Professor Yang, I'm just a soldier, and I follow the orders of my superiors. You can go to the high seas to raise your opinions. I believe they will value your opinions. Biology professors are like giant pandas. It's a valuable talent."

"I understand." Yang Yongming nodded and said to Lai Jie, "Thank you this time, young man, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you." Lai Jie smiled towards He Nianhuai, "Goodbye little guy!"

He Nianhuai: "Goodbye Xiaojie! Remember to come and play with me!"

After bidding farewell to the villagers, several people left the village and got into the car, still dragging a car to set off.

Wu Shuangshuang drove another car, Li Yan drove a rest car, and Lai Jie and Ou Zeyang sat on the lower bunk and shared some water for the other two.

Rai Jie asked, "What's your name?"

"Sheng Miao." One of the big, dark-skinned men said.

Another person said: "My name is Lu Yunting."

Lai Jie smiled and said: "Don't be reserved, let's chat casually. My name is Lai Jie. I think you are not as old as me, so you can just call me Brother Xiaojie. Tell me about yourselves, how did you think of being an employee?" Mercenary?"

Sheng Miao: "What can I do for it? I don't have any money! I can't study well, so I can do some coolies. Later, a friend said that hiring mercenaries made a lot of money, so I went. I didn't work for a few years. I saved money and sent a lot to my parents.”

Lai Jie: "You are the only one in your family?"

Shengmiao: "Where can I do it? The three brothers in my family, my eldest, come out and help them earn money to go to school."

Rai Jie: "You are a good brother."

Shengmiao sighed, and said sadly: "Even after going abroad for a few years, I don't have time to go back to see our parents. This time, something big happened and I wanted to come back to see it, but I couldn't find it..."

Lai Jie: "There is a list of survivors in the high seas. You can look for it when the time comes to see if your parents are on the list."

"Success!" Sheng Miao scratched her head, with a simple and honest smile unique to northerners, "Thank you, brother Jie."

Lai Jie looked at Lu Yunting and asked, "What about you?"

Lu Yunting's hair is dark brown, his nose bridge is high, his skin is also very white, his pupils are blue, and he is of mixed race.He thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about my family background... I am an illegitimate child, and my mother is Chinese. She died of illness when I was 6 years old, and I have been staying in M Orphanage in the country. Being a mercenary is my ideal since I was a child, so there is nothing to say."

Lai Jie: "You know Sun Mingyu and Qingshan?"

Lu Yunting: "It's not very familiar, I just cooperated with Qingshan on a mission. I heard that he is coming to China, and I also wanted to see my mother's hometown, so I came with him."

Rai Jie: "Then do you know their plan?"

Lu Yunting: "I don't know the details, I just heard that they are going to study ways to resist zombies. Only a few people know the specific plan, we just do things."

Sheng Miao: "Brother Xiaojie, he didn't lie to you. We didn't know about it when we came. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

"I believe." Lai Jie nodded and said, "Okay, then we have met, let me introduce us. I am the captain of the Hurricane Team, and I belong to the No.16 unit of the Chinese Search and Rescue Army of the International Rescue Organization. We are responsible for the search and rescue mission in a certain area, and rescue the survivors, blow up buildings, kill zombies, and then send the survivors back to the high seas. This mission to the cave was received temporarily, and now we have to report to the high seas headquarters. "

Sheng Miao: "It's dangerous, isn't it?"

Lai Jie: "Of course, I hold my head up every day and work hard."

"Brother Xiaojie, let me tell you." Sheng Miao scratched his head, "Actually, I really admire soldiers. I have been in the army since I was a child! Later, I also thought about going to the army, but my family was poor and I didn't have much money to serve in the army. Very useful. When I hired mercenaries, I still thought, when I earn enough money, I can join the army when I come back, and I can also contribute to our motherland."

Lai Jie raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you afraid of death?"

Sheng Miao: "Scared! But what's the use of being afraid of death? If my parents and younger brother are in danger, don't we have to go forward?"

Lai Jie laughed, and said with a smile: "Then let you kill zombies, are you willing?"

Sheng Miao thought for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and said: "Brother Xiaojie, I really want to join you. I just don't know where my parents are yet. When I see my parents... just forget it. If you know their news, I will follow you!"

Lai Jie patted Shengmiao on the shoulder and said, "It's fine if you say that! Your parents will be proud of you too."

Sheng Miao suddenly glanced at Ou Zeyang who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Little brother, what's your name? You're also from the search and rescue team?"

"Ou Zeyang. Hello." Ou Zeyang raised his head and smiled at Sheng Miao as a greeting.

Sheng Miao said with a smile: "You should be sixteen, as old as my second brother. You are really capable, and you are with the search and rescue team at such a young age!"

Lai Jie: "The youngest is seventeen years old, he is a technical soldier, a technician."

Lu Yunting said from the side: "You are on the front line at such a young age, are you short-handed?"

Lai Jie said helplessly: "There are too many zombies, and the search and rescue team has lost countless lives."

Lu Yunting: "I don't have anything to worry about. Going to a refuge like the High Seas would make me uncomfortable too. This incident has caused you a lot of trouble. If you agree, I will join you."

Lai Jie smiled and said, "I can't ask for it, but I have to apply to the headquarters for this matter. Judging from the current situation, it should not be a big problem."

After driving for a while, we arrived at the nearest signal tower.

When everyone got out of the car and took a look, they were all dumbfounded.

It seems that there was a thunderstorm here not long ago. It is conceivable that a bolt of lightning fell from the sky at that time and struck a tree more than ten meters high. The dead branches were ignited, scorching a large area of ​​dense forest, and the signal tower was scrapped.

Lai Jie: "..."

Li Yan: "Boss, can you fix it?"

Ou Zeyang: "...Do you think I'm really a robot cat? Even if I want to repair it, I can't find the materials..."

Wu Shuangshuang flipped through the map and said, "Besides here, the nearest launch tower is here, and there are more than 100 kilometers away."

The sky was full of dark clouds, and the autumn wind rolled up the burned debris and swirled in the air.

Lu Yunting: "There is still torrential rain. There must be mudslides nearby. The roads on the map may not be clear."

Shengmiao: "Goo———"

Everyone: "..."

Sheng Miao scratched her head embarrassingly, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I'm hungry..."

Lai Jie: "Eat first! Let's talk when you're full!"

After the heavy rain, there will be no dry branches to make a fire in the forest for a while, so we can only eat canned biscuits to satisfy our hunger.

Sheng Miao wiped out a pack of biscuits and canned food. Seeing that everyone was still eating, she looked at Lai Jie eagerly.

Lai Jie: "Not full? Here, there are some in the car, go get them."

Shengmiao nodded repeatedly and went to get a bag.

Wu Shuangshuang: "Is your name Lu Yunting? You seem to know more about terrain and weather?"

Lu Yunting: "I learned from a veteran. He is very accurate in seeing the sky, even more accurate than the weather forecast."

Li Yan: "Don't mention it, the weather forecast has never been accurate."

Ou Zeyang: "Did you just say there was a mudslide?"

Lu Yunting: "I observed along the road and saw that the soil quality of the nearby mountains is very loose, and there have been continuous torrential rains in the past few days. There is a high possibility of landslides and mudslides."

Ou Zeyang: "It's not very dangerous to drive on mountain roads..."

Lu Yunting: "If you trust me and I will lead the way, the problem should not be too big. I will avoid dangerous areas."

Lai Jie: "OK, you lead the way!"

Lai Jie piled up the leftovers and threw them away, and asked, "Are you full? Let's go on the road!"

Sheng Miao: "..."

Lai Jie: "??"

Sheng Miao whispered: "Brother Xiaojie, can I have another pack of biscuits?"

Lai Jie fell down and said helplessly, "Go get it, big man. How many bowls of rice do you usually eat?"

Sheng Miao gestured: "Such a big bowl...four bowls."

Everyone: "..."

Sheng Miao said awkwardly, "I can eat less in the future..."

Lai Jie patted Shengmiao on the shoulder, laughed and said, "You don't need to eat less, eat more and work harder!"

Sheng Miao said with a smile: "Success! I can't do anything else, and working hard is not a problem!"

Everyone got up and prepared to get in the car, Ou Zeyang looked up at the dark sky, a flock of wild geese flew by.

and many more!

What is that again?It's not a wild goose...

A black shadow fluttered down from the sky, getting closer and bigger.

Lai Jie: "Boss, get in the car, what are you looking at?"

Ou Zeyang: "Brother Jie, there is someone!"

Lai Jie: "??"

Ou Zeyang pointed to the black shadow above, which could already be seen to be a parachute.

Li Yan: "A paratrooper?"

Lai Jie: "Go and have a look, you stay here, and Wu Shuangshuang and I can go."

The wind picked up, and the parachute was blown far away by the wind. Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang chased the parachute.

"Wow, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—" There was a scream like a pig slaughtered in the sky, "Help, help! Help—!"

Lai Jie: "A technician? Damn, why did you vote here?!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...""

The parachute drifted closer and closer, and it blew into the dense forest, and was hung on the tree with a bang.

The person under the umbrella climbed on his feet, closed his eyes and screamed: "Help, help!!"

Lai Jie put his hands on his back, watching the man hanged from a tree and screaming.

Lai Jie: "Stop barking, you will attract wild boars any more."

The man on the tree stopped screaming and opened his eyes to look down.

Lai Jie: "Technician? From that team?"

The man on the tree said: "Are you guys from the Sirius team?! Ah, that's great! I just said that the pilot wouldn't be so unreasonable, throw me into a place where no shit, let me fend for myself ! Sure enough, you have cast me here! Hey, where is Captain Wang Yang? Why didn’t you see him?”

Lai Jie: "Are you the technician of the Sirius team?"

"Yes, yes! My name is Li Tingjun, you can call me Xiaojun. What's your name? Ha, you're in good shape, but not as good as Wang Yang. He's stronger than you..."

Lai Jie: "..."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Get him down first."

Lai Jie: "You cut the rope, I'll catch him."

Wu Shuangshuang gestured that there was no problem, drew out her dagger, climbed up the tree a few times, and cut off the paracord.

Xiaojun: "Sister, are you also a special soldier, you are awesome! Climbing trees is so...ah!!!"

Lai Jie caught it from below, put Li Tingjun down, and said, "It's done!"

Lai Jie: "Tell me what's going on, why did the driver vote you here, what about the other members of your Sirius team?"

Xiaojun said in surprise: "Hey, aren't you from the Sirius team?!"

Lai Jie: "No, we are the Hurricanes, I am the captain Lai Jie, and this is Wu Shuangshuang beauty."

Xiaojun: "Ah, Brother Xiaojie! I know you! You are from K3. I heard Wang Yang mention you."

Lai Jie raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Xiao Jun: "He said you won the all-around championship, that's amazing."

Reiji was a little proud.

Xiaojun continued: "It's just that he doesn't look very good..."

Lai Jie: "..."

Wu Shuangshuang laughed loudly, and joked: "Yeah, I really feel sorry for the audience."

Lai Jie frowned and said, "Enough is enough!"

Wu Shuangshuang: "Do you know Wang Yang?"

Xiao Jun: "Of course, he is my childhood friend!"

Wu Shuangshuang: "Go, talk while walking, what's going on?"

Several people walked back, Xiao Jun said: "That pilot, don't mention it! When I got on the plane, I said, "The weather is very bad today, will there be any problems? He confidently said that there is absolutely no problem! Even if there is thunder Lightning, I can also break through the darkness in the storm, sailing towards the light...so...there really is thunder and lightning! He has a crow's mouth..."

Wu Shuangshuang sympathized: "It's such a sad story...and then?"

Xiaojun: "Then the signal was blocked, and the Sirius team couldn't be contacted. God! Can you imagine airdropping me when you can't contact or locate it? What if there is a pile of zombies below, will there be bones when I fall down? I said don't vote, don't vote! Let's go back first. If he said to go back, I can't guarantee that I can live, because the lightning flashes very hard, and I can be easily hit, so I can't take the adventure with me. So I picked a tree The position threw me down..."

Lai Jie: "..."

Xiaojun thought for a while, then sighed, "But we can't blame him, I hope he's still alive..."

Lai Jie: "So you lost contact with the Sirius?"

Xiao Jun: "Yes, brother Xiaojie, can you contact them? I must be anxious if Wang Yang can't be contacted."

While speaking, he had already returned to the base car, and Li Yan greeted him from a distance: "Boss! You are back!"

Xiaojun: "Ah, hello! Are you from the Hurricanes too? I'm Li Tingjun, a technician from the Sirius team. You can call me Xiaojun."

Li Yan: "So it's the airdrop technician of the Sirius team, what about your captain?"

Xiaojun: "I don't know, I'm looking for them too."

Lai Jie stepped forward and explained the matter briefly, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Ou Zeyang: "The signal tower has been destroyed, and we can't contact the high seas. We are worried."

Xiaojun: "Are you a technician for the Hurricane team? They call you the youngest? Then I will call you Xiaojun. You can call me Xiaojun."

Ou Zeyang: "Hi Xiaojun."

Xiaojun: "Don't you want to introduce yourself? For example, what do you like to eat and what subject are you good at? Let me tell you first, I'm a theoretical physics student, so I don't have practical skills. You look so small. What do you study? ?”

Ou Zeyang: "I'm seventeen, and I only went to a technical school, where I studied electrician."

Xiaojun: "Great! I don't know much about electricians, so I can ask you for advice later. You are only seventeen, I am 23, and I was still playing games when I was so young..."

Lai Jie: "Enough of you guys! Let's talk about something serious, okay! First, let's discuss the next step plan."

A light bulb appeared above Xiaojun's head, and he said, "Ah Xiao, since you're an electrician, let's find a way to fix the transmission tower together? Then we can reach the high seas."

Ou Zeyang looked at Xiaojun, and they blinked.

Ou Zeyang: "I can't fix it, but you can?"

Xiaojun shook his head.

Reiji had a headache.

Wu Shuangshuang said: "Let's look for the Sirius team members nearby first. The launch tower is broken, and they can't contact the high seas after completing the search and rescue. By the way, we can also send Xiaojun back as soon as possible."

The others nodded in agreement.

Lai Jie: "That's the decision! Let's go to downtown Lijiang first, they might be blowing up zombies."
