Chapter 38 The Frost Plague
The snow on the road has been cleared.
A soldier waved the sign at the edge of the road, which read two numbers, 45 and 60.
The former represents the maximum driving speed on the road, while the latter represents the snow in the 60 kilometers ahead has been cleaned and unobstructed.
At this moment, Qin Ge had to sigh. He knew that since yesterday, five thousand soldiers were under guard and guarded, and nearly 50,000 snow-shaving troops were dispatched. In order to ensure this transportation line, the military and government were really willing to pay any attention.
"The Fourth Search and Rescue Team has started to set off at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour. Captain Qin Ge and deputy captain Liu Cheng, everything is normal and finished on the way."
"This is the mobile command vehicle 01. After receiving it, the fourth search and rescue team continues to move forward. Ten kilometers ahead of your headquarters, the third search and rescue team is moving. Please be careful to respond at any time. After thirty kilometers, the command authority will be transferred to the mobile command vehicle 02. Please pay close attention to the surrounding situation and be completed."
Qin Ge drove with one hand and put down the walkie-talkie with the other hand. This is the benefit of the military performing tasks, and it is always in order.
Looking at the back row, there were two soldiers allocated by the military, Liu Cheng, a light machine gun shooter, and Huang Jun, the deputy shooter. They were silent all the time, but they were definitely veterans.
Qin Ge didn't have the idea of getting close to him. While driving, he missed his base armored vehicle. The H9 car actually has a lot of space, but Qin Ge's physique is too extreme now, so it's quite awkward to squeeze in it. Fortunately, the heavy sword return to zero and the heavy machine gun are tied to the luggage rack, otherwise what else can I drive?
Every ten kilometers, Qin Ge had to contact the mobile command vehicle, but there was no situation on the road.
When they drove thirty kilometers away and the command was handed over to the command vehicle No. 02, Qin Ge and his search and rescue team caught up with the search and rescue team in front because they stopped.
It seems to be arguing with some soldiers.
"Can you ask what's going on?" Qin Ge got out of the car and asked a soldier. He was also very curious. The military in Dafeng City has great power. Basically, as long as it is not a fool, no one is willing to cause trouble.
The soldier turned his head and glanced at Qin Ge with great vigilance, "They want to give up this mission."
"give up?"
Qin Ge stopped talking. The third search and rescue team was different from his team. He did not bring such a burden as a bounty hunter. He just had six anti-virus hunters lightly. It seemed that they were liberals. But even so, it would be extremely unwise to choose to give up at this time. Isn’t this offending the military and government to death? Or is there any other reason?
After scanning the six people, Qin Ge returned to the car. He seemed to recognize those guys, who were not from China and were very famous in the ghost city of Dafeng City. In fact, the liberal anti-virus hunters in Dafeng City are almost all of this type of people. They each have their own gangs, their own channels, and their energy is not small, but at the same time they are also the most active mercenaries. They will take on many anti-virus tasks with generous bounty, and even the government and the military will adopt a strategy of winning over them.
In a sense, they and Qin Ge are two different people.
As we continued to move forward, more and more people shoveling snow on both sides of the highway. The No. 02 mobile command vehicle did not mention the third search and rescue team, but four search and rescue teams set out from Dafeng City one after another.
"This is the mobile command vehicle 02, the fourth search and rescue team, and enters a large area of our construction personnel in front. Please slow down to 30 kilometers per hour to ensure stable driving and complete."
"The Fourth Search and Rescue Team received it, it's finished."
Qin Ge slowed down his vehicle and began to see a spectacular crowd ahead. A army of nearly 50,000 people was busy all the time. From time to time, you could see the mounted howitzer trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, and fully armed soldiers on the roadside.
At the front, there were several snowstorms responsible for shoveling out of the central road to facilitate the movement of convoys like Qin Ge and others.
Soon, Qin Ge's convoy passed through more than ten kilometers of snow-shaving troops, and the road ahead was completely covered with snow. If it weren't for the traces left by the two search and rescue teams in front, they would almost be unable to distinguish the road.
"This is the mobile command vehicle 03, the fourth search and rescue team. Please continue to drive forward for fifteen kilometers before merging with us, pay attention to the surrounding situation, pay attention to the speed, and be completed."
"The Fourth Search and Rescue Team received it, it's finished."
More than ten minutes later, Qin Ge saw three vehicles on the white highway, one was an armored personnel carrier, one was Dongfeng Mengshi, and the other was a command vehicle.
When he arrived, he saw several officers waiting there.
"Captain Qin, the mission has been changed. At present, our first search and rescue team and the second search and rescue team are located 30 kilometers ahead of us, but they have not found any trace of the transport convoy. According to the direction of the search and rescue headquarters contacting the provincial capital, the area they finally disappeared should be between 150 kilometers and 100 kilometers from Dafeng City."
"The roads in this area are very flat and there is no traffic accident. Therefore, the General Command determined that it might have been attacked by a virus. Now we need to expand the search and rescue scope, that is, the search and rescue scope includes Guangming County on the west side of the highway and Fanrong Town on the east side of the highway."
"Now, Captain Qin, you and your search and rescue team need to wait for the fifth search and rescue team here, and then join together and go to search for the area around Guangming County."
Hearing this, Qin Ge immediately understood why the third search and rescue team had to give up. This task change is not a simple change, which means that the situation is more complicated. After all, the search was 100 kilometers before, and no trace was found. If it spread out, it would be no fun.
After all, if you search on the road, you can call for rescue quickly even if something happens. The military howitzers and rocket launchers are not vegetarians, but if you go to Guangming County or Fanrong Town, you will first lose signal contact and then you will never get artillery support. No fools will do it.
However, even though Qin Ge understood the relationship, he agreed without hesitation.
After waiting for ten minutes, the fifth search and rescue team finally arrived. The scale of this search and rescue team was even larger. In addition to fifty more professional and tough bounty hunters and five liberal anti-virus hunters, there were thirty fully armed soldiers equipped with large killing weapons such as grenades, vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and mortars. However, the command power belongs to one of the liberal anti-virus hunters.
The reason is nothing else. This is a liberal anti-virus hunter who often cooperates with the military, trusts each other very much, and finally has a strong strength. Qin Ge recognizes him, the boss of Chunyue Tower in Guishi, the Ukrainian, Japan, awesome, and a beautiful Central Asian woman. Her original name is Kavela, and now she is Liu Kavela.
Yes, she is a woman, but now she is in her eighties. She belongs to the previous era and has unclear strength. It is said that she has advanced to Silver C+, but there is no actual evidence.
In short, this old lady is a hard-core supporter of the government and the military. She doesn't move very much in normal times, but basically this kind of need to provide timely help. When we show our friendship, the old lady must have brought her own dry food. Well, she has seven or eight anti-virus hunters under her command. As for the Chunyuelou thugs she raised, that is, bounty hunters, there are more than 500.
At this time, when Qin Ge saw this old lady, he had nothing to say. The two search and rescue teams joined forces, mainly searching in the direction of Guangming County.
There is a snow shoveler in Cavela's search and rescue team, so don't worry about falling into the ditch.
After driving for about twenty kilometers, the intersection sign for Guangming County appeared. Two soldiers stood there, pointing fingers in the direction of Guangming County.
"Cruff!"
The convoy of old lady Cavela suddenly stopped a few hundred meters across the sign. Fortunately, the speed was not fast.
"There is a situation!"
Qin Ge also stopped the car and jumped down. When he looked forward, his heart skipped a beat because at first glance, the two soldiers under the sign were nothing, but after looking closely, they had been frozen into ice sculptures, with a thin layer of ice covering them.
"Quick, contact Command Vehicle No. 04!"
Qin Ge turned around and shouted to Liu Cheng, the deputy captain of the trip. He quickly unplugged the heavy machine gun and heavy sword from the roof of the car and returned to zero. Something was wrong.
"Captain Qin, there is no signal."
The veteran Liu Cheng was also a little anxious at this moment because just five kilometers ago, they had routinely contacted the command vehicle No. 04 ahead. At that time, everything was still normal. At the same time, they also said that the second search team had already headed to the direction of Fanrong Town. How many minutes have passed?
"Everyone gets out of the car and prepares for the fight!"
Qin Ge roared, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blizzard suddenly rolling up more than a hundred meters away on the west side of the highway. In an instant, a huge snow wall formed and swept towards the highway. The snow wall was as fast as a galloping horse, with an amazing momentum.
The incident happened too suddenly and was too close to each other, so many people were confused and then they realized.
The convoy in front of Kavela had a total of five cars, two steam trucks, a diesel car, an armored personnel carrier and a snow shovel.
The soldier in front stepped on the accelerator and immediately walked around the snow shovel and rushed out of the snow wall.
The car that Cavela was riding in turned around flexibly and rushed backwards in an instant.
The two steam trucks rushed forward desperately, and the other wanted to turn around, but they didn't know whether they were panic or something, but the steam truck just overturned.
At the same time, Qin Ge, who was behind the convoy, also quickly reacted, but he only did one thing, pressing it on the thick bumper welded in front of the car. With a gentle force, the whole car hit the steam truck behind. Then, before the people inside the car could react, the two cars quickly retreated again and hit the third steam truck.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Ge roared and exerted his force with both hands, pushing the three still-braking trucks out like rockets. He rushed out hundreds of meters a few seconds before the terrifying snow wall rushed over, barely avoiding the impact of the snow wall.
But this snow wall is not a real snow wall. It does not have the power of an avalanche, but it is even more terrifying. Qin Ge just touched the edge and almost frozen, because after the snow wall rolled over, the temperature around suddenly dropped to minus forty or fifty degrees.
The steam truck that capsized in the middle of the road ahead and the snow shovel were frozen into ice icicles, and the drivers on it and more than 20 bounty hunters who had no ability to fight the pit were frozen into ice sculptures.
But this was still the beginning. A strong wind suddenly rolled up in the white snow around, mixed with flying snow, and quickly evolved into a white-haired wind, as if something was hidden in it.
"It's the ice plague virus, Captain Qin, we must retreat immediately!"
Someone shouted among the terrifying bounty hunters on the steam truck, and someone shouted to ask the driver to turn around quickly. Didn’t he see that Mrs. Kavira’s car had disappeared in a flash?
"Captain Qin, what should I do?"
The veteran Liu Cheng also asked. His face turned pale at this moment, and he was frozen. After all, the temperature was only minus fifteen degrees Celsius before.
"It's too late to retreat. Who can escape the ice plague host in this ice plague?"
"It's better to meet with others!"
"You start the car and rush forward, I'll open the way!"
Chapter completed!
