When I returned to the snowmobile, Mi Tuoer was already very angry.
Fortunately, You Gege and Momosawa Hanako were fast enough to pull the little monk back from the hell gate. Looking at the sleeping little monk in the treatment cabin, Momosawa Hanako asked: "Just now... what on earth was that thing?"
?”
Yougege shook his head: "I don't know."
"Huh?..." Momozawa Hanako was surprised. In her opinion, Yougege should be a god-like existence who knows everything.
Yugege returned to the cockpit. She turned on the recorder of the snowmobile, hoping that the vehicle could help her record even a little bit. As a result, when Yugege opened the record database, she found that it was empty, even on their way from Shanghai.
All the data disappeared, as if it had been manually cleaned.
At this time, the wind stopped outside, but the temperature was still terrifyingly low.
Momosawa Hanako also came to the cockpit and sat down. She asked, "Do you want to take the boy with you?"
Yougege was also thinking about this problem. Logically speaking, she met the young monk by chance, and she just tried her best to save him. When he recovered, she should send him back to his master.
But Yougege was still thinking about the agreement in the Far North, and it would be wrong to stay here for too long.
So Yougege asked Momosawa Hanako: "What do you think? Take him away, or should you wait here for his master to take care of him?"
Momosawa Hanako shrugged with an indifferent look on her face: "I'm casual, I'm just following you out, you make the decision?"
Yougege understood, she started the snowmobile and slowly backed up.
Momosawa Hanako also understood, but she was a little worried: "Hey... you said we took him away, what if his master comes?"
Yougege straightened the car and headed towards the road he came from.
"Just return him to his master when you find him. You can't let us take him back to the city to find his master, right? And we have to pass through Xiongan, so you don't plan to take refuge at Xiongan No. 1
Have you seen it?"
Momosawa Hanako stopped talking. She chuckled and said, "That's it. Anyway, for us, it's just a kidnapping and it shouldn't involve any big trouble."
Yougege glanced at her and said nothing.
The speed of the snowmobile gradually increased, and soon it drove out of the city and headed straight for the superhighway.
…
On the other side, the old monk Yuankong had just brought Tan Jiu, who was blinded by the flash, into a clean room. This was originally the largest and most luxurious hotel in Xuzhou New District. Now that the building is empty, the rooms have become casual stays.
Ice cave.
Tan Jiu didn't say a word the whole way, until he sat on the bed and joked: "I mean, monk, you're not going to do anything wrong to me while I'm in danger, are you?"
Yuan Kong was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "What time has it been? Brother Dao is actually still leisurely and joking."
After saying that, Yuan Kong took out the portable stove in his backpack and prepared to boil some hot water for Tan Jiu to drink.
Tan Jiu grasped the sheets tightly with both hands and asked: "Monk, am I really blind and will never see again?"
Yuankong asked, "What do you want to see, brother Tao? There is no light in this world, so what difference does it make if you open your eyes and close them? It's better to take this opportunity to understand more of the world outside your field of vision."
Tan Jiu understood that Yuan Kong's words were three parts comforting, six parts emotional, and only one part teasing.
But he still immediately retorted: "You old monk, you are full of great truths, and you are so noisy! Fortunately, I am not a woman, otherwise I would have called you a steely old straight man."
Yuan Kong didn't care. He was already a monk, so how could he care about what others thought of him?
After lighting the stove and boiling water, Yuankong stood up and said, "Brother Taoist, please sit here and rest for a while. I'll go find my disciple and come back."
Tan Jiu was anxious when he heard this: "Hey! You monk are not going to run away, are you? I'm telling you! Our affairs are not over yet! Don't look at it, I haven't adapted to the blind world now, but when I adapt,
We are equally worthy of you."
Yuan Kong smiled bitterly: "I believe that, but I miss my disciple very much. If I don't find him back, I'm afraid the old monk will live a restless life for the rest of his life."
Tan Jiu understood: "Oh... okay, how soon will you come back?"
"Before the water boils." Yuankong said firmly.
Tan Jiu sneered: "Are you bragging?"
This time no one responded to him, Yuan Kong had already floated down from the 100-meter-high building.
When Tan Jiu was left alone, he slowly opened his eyes, but the pair of eyes that could see the world clearly in the dark became extremely dim.
'I didn't expect that I was really blind... This is really embarrassing and embarrassing... I didn't expect that I would cause such a disaster just after I said my big words... But monk, don't be complacent. Although I am blind, I am not blind in my heart.
If I find out that you are helping a tyrant, I will kill you bald donkey with my own hands!" Tan Jiu thought to himself, then he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his dark eyes had turned into dark gold.
Although Tan Jiu was still blind and couldn't see anything in the room, his mind was opened.
He stood up and walked to the stove. Tan Jiu put out the fire in the stove and said quietly: "Monk, monk, let's record today's grudges in the account first. I will argue with you when I come back from the South China Sea."
After that, Tan Jiu also got up and jumped down from the tall building. However, unlike the monk Yuankong, Tan Jiu did not float down from the sky, but went with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was out of Xuzhou city.
High in the sky, he seemed to sense something.
After listening carefully, I felt relieved. At that time, a funny smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Fortunately, I am not at a loss this time."
…
If Yuan Kong goes to look for his apprentice, he can't find him anywhere.
The empty Xuzhou City was filled with desolation and deathly silence. On the empty street, Yuan Kong picked up one of his apprentice's shoes. He frowned slightly, and then sighed: "What is the reason why you asked him to come to me?
But you let him leave me, is it possible that you can no longer trust me?"
The voice in my heart did not answer, it had already pointed out a new direction for Yuan Kong.
Yuankong held the Zen stick in his hand and felt the coldness of the Zen stick for the first time. He understood and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I am a compassionate Buddha. I hope I am not doing something wrong."
After saying that, Yuan Kong went straight out of the city and did not return to the guest room as promised. If Tan Jiu knew about this, he would definitely be ridiculed.
But Yuankong no longer cared about these comments at this time. He had to complete all the agreements before the fire in his heart went out.
…
After coming out of Xuzhou, You Gege drove straight to Xiongan.
On the way, she and Momosawa Hanako finally figured out what the dense red dots displayed on the detection system were.
It's people...
Thousands of people froze to death on the way out.
Many of them still kept moving forward after their death, but the temperature was too low, exceeding their expectations. They didn't know where they came from. They might be here in Xuzhou City, or they might be fleeing from far away.
Those who came to this area. In short, they failed to survive this disaster.
Yougege drove the snowmobile down the superhighway so as to avoid hitting these corpses.
Momosawa Hanako originally thought that she might be able to see Natsume and Masato again as she was about to arrive at Xiongan, and she was in good spirits. However, when she saw these corpses, Momosawa Hanako fell into a long silence.
The whole journey was silent.
When arriving at Xiongan New Area, Yougege saw several long queues of lights appearing in front of him from a distance. At first, Yougege thought it was the scene he saw in Xuzhou City, but as he drove further, he realized that it was not the scene in Xuzhou City.
The "dead souls" are the snowmobile convoys rushing to Xiongan from all directions.
After Yougege's car entered the warning range of the convoy, the other party sent a communication invitation.
After the two parties exchanged voucher codes, Yougege dared to continue driving forward.
Momosawa Hanako pressed her face against the window, staring at the bright lights in the distance, and asked, "Where are these people going?"
Yougege smiled slightly: "They are rescuers from more than a dozen surrounding shelters who came to support Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District. Of course, their destination is the same as ours."
Momosawa Hanako was surprised and happy when she heard this. She was surprised that in such a harsh environment, these people actually dared to take such a big risk to come to Xiongan for support. She was happy that she expected the kind of support that would be difficult to support from all sides.
After all, the scene was not missing. However, Hanako Momosawa still felt worried about the scene of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District at this moment.
On the surface, she has always given Yu Gege an "indifferent" attitude, just like it doesn't matter if Xiongan becomes New Tokyo Shelter No. 1. But in fact... Momosawa Hanako just learned silence and disguise.
.In this girl's heart, she cares more about life, death and emotional ties than anyone else, but...in the past year and a half, she has experienced too much...and learned too much...especially
It was after the death of her mother Liang Qiuru that Momosawa Hanako and Liu Ping went to such a mysterious and dark place. After coming back from there, Momosawa Hanako changed and became something that even she found strange.
Seeing that Momosawa Hanako was silent, Yougege suddenly stretched out her hand and touched Momosawa Hanako's head and said, "It's okay. Your friends must be still alive and well. They will be extremely surprised when they see you."
Momosawa Hanako looked at Yougege with some surprise, then smiled gratefully: "Yes."
…
Three days ago.
The cleanup battle has reached a complete stalemate.
Since the explosion, the team has been divided into several sections. After twenty hours of bloody fighting, the soldiers on the several floors where Qin Huan was located were left with less than a hundred people. Qin Huan's own men were broken
More than half of them were damaged, and those who were still alive were all injured, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to before.
Now the passage in the middle of the residential area has been blown up, temporarily blocking the attack of the infected.
But Qin Huan knew that if no fresh troops came to support them, they and the more than 10,000 survivors behind them would be dead in one day at most.
Even if there was a little more time, without water and food, the hungry and cold people would slowly lose their minds in the darkness. Qin Huan could no longer imagine what kind of hell it would be like.
The cards he brought have already been activated.
However, the shelter’s hidden security systems are mostly concentrated in a few key areas.
For example, the central core computing center in the uppermost area and the water circulation and nuclear fusion power supply system in the lowermost area... There are 4,500 movable mechanical guards in these defense systems, but they have to break through the blockade of nearly one million infected people.
It is also extremely difficult. The only ones that can come to support are two thousand armed mobile drones.
However, in order to prevent more infected people from infiltrating to the upper levels or even breaking through the upper levels and spreading outside the shelter, Qin Huan sent the last batch of reinforcements to Xing Tianran after careful consideration and with the support of everyone.
Now, we are running out of ammunition and food.
The weapon in his hand has become a burden, and it is not as useful as a long knife with a sharp steel plate.
The atmosphere in the room was very dull, and everyone knew that they didn't have much time left. Just when someone suggested writing a suicide note, a woman came to Qin Huan's room with several children carrying a pot of steaming dumplings.
Qin Huan and others, who could smell the aroma of food from a distance, looked at the dumplings floating up and down in the basin in surprise, and their eyes gleamed. Fortunately, Qin Huan was here, as these people had not eaten anything seriously in two days.
The soldiers did not pounce on the hungry tiger.
"Captain Qin, everyone is starving. Come on, come on, everyone, come over and eat dumplings."
Qin Huan knew this woman. She was originally the regional director of the inspector of this residential area, and her name was Ye Xinyuan.
Thirty-nine-year-old Ye Xinyuan was a surgeon at the First Military Region Hospital of Xiongan New Area before entering the shelter. She was also a well-known sharpshooter in the hospital and had represented the hospital in military region competitions.
He even won the championship in a military shooting competition.
After entering the shelter, Ye Xinyuan also applied to continue working as a doctor. But the shelter needs more community management and service personnel. An all-rounder like Ye Xinyuan just meets this standard, so Ye Xinyuan became a doctor.
The inspector in charge of more than 300 inspectors in the residential area on the first floor.
When there was a problem with the water circulation system of the shelter, Ye Xinyuan was the first one in the shelter to take the initiative to ask everyone to reduce the existing water consumption by half, and he was also the first inspector to get support from everyone. At the same time, Ye Xinyuan also took the initiative to apply to participate in the water circulation system.
Systematic rescue and repair work, but her physical condition did not allow her to work in such a low-temperature environment. In the end, she failed to rush to the front line, which almost became a regret in her life.
However, not long after the problem with the water circulation system was solved, the shelter was invaded.
At the beginning, when the problem was still concentrated in the uppermost area, Ye Xinyuan thought that the highest level could deal with it by themselves, but he did not expect that the invasion was just the beginning, and the subsequent infection would be the real disaster.
The residential area where Ye Xinyuan is located is located in the middle area between the upper area and the middle area. It is among the first residential areas to be invaded by infected people. At that time, many people thought that this infection was pathological, and as long as the infected people were isolated,
It was enough to contain it. But I didn’t expect that this kind of infection was unprecedented. Not to mention the epidemic prevention environment in the shelter, even if we look around the world, there is no protective measure that can effectively prevent the spread of infection before the "sun disappears"
.
Therefore, Ye Xinyuan and the others missed the best window of resistance. Some guards and soldiers who took the initiative to put down their weapons and put on protective clothing to take care of the "infected" on the front line died in the attacks of the Eaters and Slaanesh's servants. The guard captain
It has become a super-spreading source among infected people. Many soldiers who should have taken up arms to defend civilians have been transformed into "monsters" by the divine infection that leaked out of control.
At this time, Ye Xinyuan rushed to the front line and took over the work of the guard captain, and began to build a defensive line and a new shelter. It is very rare that Ye Xinyuan can achieve such quick and decisive command without any response experience. Therefore, this
The first-floor residential zone has the largest number of survivors among the dozens of nearby residential zones.
Qin Huan concentrated all the materials and personnel from the upper and lower levels to this level because he took a fancy to Ye Xinyuan's management ability.
If Ye Xinyuan hadn't been providing logistics for these soldiers these days, Qin Huan might have been unable to support him long ago.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Even if Ye Xinyuan has the talent to assist the country and the country, she cannot conjure bullets, food and water out of thin air.
So what's going on with these pots of dumplings today?
Qin Huan knew that all his men were starving, but he was not confused yet. He asked: "Ye Zi, where did these dumplings come from? Didn't they say they had run out of food?"
Ye Xinyuan smiled mysteriously and said: "I have my own way. You eat first. When you are full, I happen to have something to ask you."
Although Qin Huan was still a little worried, he looked at his men's eyes glowing green and waved his hand: "Everyone is lined up, one by one is served, and one by one is eaten. If anyone dares to fight, I will chop him with a knife."
!”
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers immediately said in unison: "Yes!"
Meal sharing began.
Although everyone was very hungry, they were still in good order.
There were people in other rooms delivering dumplings, but no soldier became a "eater" at this time. The children laughed when they saw the soldiers eating happily. A few naughty ones even squeezed into the arms of these soldiers.
He asked them to feed them some dumplings, and the soldiers all smiled and did so.
Qin Huan didn't intend to eat it. As a reformed warrior, he was much stronger than ordinary soldiers. But he still ate a bowl at Ye Xinyuan's request. The dumplings were serious dumplings. Even if they were not filled with meat, they made him hungry for several days.
Qin Huan almost swallowed his tongue.
After eating a dozen dumplings and a bowl of hot dumpling soup, Qin Huan patted his belly with satisfaction.
With his appetite, these few dumplings were nothing, but he didn't eat a second bowl, even though there was still a lot in the basin.
Seeing that Ye Xinyuan could not persuade him no matter how hard he tried, he called Qin Huan to the corner and told him the secret.
"These dumplings... were actually discovered by one of my girls in the maintenance tunnel accidentally... and there was also a letter." Ye Xinyuan handed the letter to Qin Huan.
It is rare to see handwritten letters in this day and age.
Qin Huan opened the letter and read it with a solemn expression. He put the letter away and asked, "Have you read the content as well?"
