Chapter Eighty-Five: The Vanguard
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became a little tense, and Duan Yi entered a big tent again, probably discussing matters. There are several groups of awakened people from nearby provinces and cities who have entered here, and the number of people is not very large, and it should be the same as the way Zhan Guoxiang selected the candidates, because the situation here is still unclear, and it is not wise to blindly send too many awakened people, and it is enough to let each place choose to meet the requirements.
"How do I feel that we are not safe more than 20 kilometers away from the ruins, and I panicked. Feng Zhiguang looked worried, he was frightened all the way from Anmin City to here, it seemed that he was tortured in his heart, and when he heard that the vanguard was selected in two hours, his whole heart was about to beat to his throat.
"Shut up!" the others roared in unison.
"This ruin is very tricky, you say what kind of big monster this is, it's okay to say, so many awakened people plus our soldiers can solve him by dividing it by two, but now in this situation, people really don't know what to do, this ghost thing is still expanding, if you don't stop it, you don't know how far the ruins can end up. Lu Yuansi also frowned, it is really a question whether he can get out of such a dangerous mission here, he is not like Cheng Kangping, a rich second generation with a big family, he can have many ways to protect himself, he just came to go through the motions and make a war exploit, but he is a small common man, and it is really difficult to know whether he lives or dies once he performs the task.
"Is there really nothing to do?" Li Qilin burped, for him, to be able to eat a full meal, the whole body and mind are a lot more comfortable, and he can see it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and Ye Zhifan is here, he doesn't need to use his brain, just exert his strength when the time comes. , and I didn't think about any harm.
"My director discussed several methods with the command of the military department, and each of them worked, and I could only watch it expand, and a few bigwigs in charge estimated that they had not closed their eyes for the past two days. Now there is no way, so I am willing to send a vanguard to investigate, knowing that there is no way to do it even if I may die for a lifetime. As Lu Siyuan was speaking, Duan Yi came out of the tent again and shouted, "The person in charge of each team, please come to the tent." ”
Ye Zhifan consciously stood up, there was no way, and when he left, Zhan Guoxiang told him to be in charge of this team.
The tent is huge, but there are too many inside, and there are still many people walking inside.
There were also a few soldiers in military uniforms looking at the big screen erected with frowns, where the real-time picture of the ruins more than 20 kilometers away was played, this was the first time Ye Zhifan saw the ruins in everyone's mouth, a huge hemispherical shape like a plastic film covered the ground, it seemed to be a naughty giant blowing off the foam, and the surface flashed with colorful colors.
The soldiers who were busy were constantly recording the state of the ruins, and the front was constantly feeding back information.
Duan Yi introduced: "These two are the leaders of the local garrison, they will cooperate with us to carry out the mission, this mission is mainly for the awakened, and they will provide maximum protection." ”
"First of all, let me introduce the origin of this ruin, three days ago, a team of travelers found a cloud-shrouded area in Nanyun Mountain in our city, and one of them went in to explore despite the dissuasion. After entering, the rest of the teammates found that they couldn't get through to each other's mobile phones, and two other travelers wanted to enter to look for them, but they also disappeared one after another. Someone noticed that the fog area was expanding towards them, realized that something was wrong, and called the police. When the police arrived in the area, they found that the situation was very unusual and quickly reported it to the Awakened Management Center. By this time, the ruins had more than tripled in size. It has not yet been discovered what caused the ruins to be opened. Duan Yi introduced the beginning and the end, and the screen was divided into half, and a photo of the ruins at the beginning appeared, which was only shrouded in fog at first, and then it showed foam after expansion.
"Some people have been unexpectedly involved in the expansion of the ruins several times, including our comrades-in-arms, who have no way of knowing what is going on inside, and have airdropped supplies into the ruins from multiple locations, hoping to help the people inside. To be on the safe side, residents outside a certain perimeter were forcibly evacuated, and the evacuation area was repeatedly enlarged. As you all know, we lost a helicopter and two comrades, and now the helicopter can't get too close to the ruins. Choosing a vanguard is a helpless move and a necessary measure, and we can't sit back and wait any longer. The lottery will first select five teams to enter the ruins, and the task of the teammates who enter is to do their best to pass on the information so that we can understand the situation inside and make a plan for the next step. ”
There was a loud "boom", and the whole earth shook a few times. "The ruins have been expanded for another three kilometres, and one village has been covered, and the people of the village have been resettled before, and there are no reports of missing people for the time being," a soldier reported. ”
The two leaders nodded at Duan Yi, the latter understood and looked solemn: "Presumably everyone knows the urgency of the matter, so let's draw lots first, and those who draw the auspicious word 'auspicious' will be selected for the vanguard, and the note without writing is not selected." ”
There was a soldier holding a red cardboard box, walked to everyone in turn, it was Ye Zhifan's turn, reached into the hole in the box with his hand, probed with his hand, there was no secret grid, just an ordinary cardboard box, so he took a note in his hand, unfolded it, and a big "Ji" word was printed into his eyes. sighed invisibly, from childhood to adulthood, a lottery is either a "thank you for your patronage" or a consolation prize, and a random draw of this is the first prize, there is really no one. And to make an auspicious word is to draw an auspicious picture, how can this feel so unlucky.
"To be fair, you put the paper on your chest and unfold it. Duan Yi saw that everyone had already drawn it, and said loudly.
Five teams drew notes with the word "Ji", and the rest of them felt fortunate for themselves while casting sympathetic or admiring glances at those who were selected for the vanguard. Among them, Cheng Kangping had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Please inform your teammates that there is a vehicle that will take you to the ruins. ”
Ye Zhifan walked out of the tent with some frustration, and Feng Zhiguang and the others immediately surrounded him, "What's the matter, what did you say, was the ruins doing something wrong just now after the earthquake?"
How could Ye Zhifan say that he had drawn a ticket to go to the Yama Palace, so he had to say seriously: "The leader attaches great importance to the awakened people in Anmin City, and feels that this mission will not work without us, so he will hand over the most important vanguard task to us first, and then set off." ”
Listening to Feng Zhiguang's wailing, Chen Yadi sneered beside him.
Jiang Xuelu wanted to say something on the side, and the appearance of crying was really pitiful, because I had just seen Ye Zhifan, but I had to be separated in a short time, and I was very reluctant in my heart.
The military vehicles outside the camp were ready, Ye Zhifan and his party got into the car, and the other four teams also got into the car one after another, and the five cars drove towards the ruins at a gallop.
The road was bumpy, but the speed of the car continued unabated, and the dust kicked up was blowing and scattering in the air.
After driving for a while, the tip of the iceberg of the ruins was revealed to everyone's field of vision, and a huge hemispherical foam was simply isolated into two worlds.
"Damn, this thing is too big, like a snot bubble. Feng Zhiguang exclaimed.
Chen Yadi snorted in disgust, "There is still some beauty that has been destroyed by you, and there is no trace left." ”
The five cars abruptly separated and headed in different directions.
"Isn't it together?" Ye Zhifan wondered.
The soldier who drove the car replied solemnly: "The superior ordered to enter from five different directions. ”
Ye Zhifan thought about it, this is also to minimize the probability of group annihilation, and the biggest task at present is to find out the situation inside and do a good job of reconnaissance for the troops behind, so their batch is often the representative of cannon fodder.
It's all small roads, and it's like a roller coaster, and after another two kilometers away, the car stops, "I'm sorry, I can only send you here, I wish you a successful mission." The soldier dropped the sentence and drove back.
A few people walked forward slowly, looking at the approaching ruins, closer, bigger than expected.
"Do you think we can hide somewhere now, and when they settle this, we'll come out. Feng Zhiguang came up with a bad idea.
"As long as you're not afraid that the director will screw your head off and kick it as a ball, you can dig a tunnel. When the time comes, we can engage in a tunnel war, and that ruin may not be able to help us. As he spoke, the ruins were already close in front of him, and when no one spoke, he heard the heartbeats of several people.
Ye Zhifan wandered a few steps in front of the ruins, as if there was a membrane blocking his eyes, and their shadows were still reflected on it, and when he looked closer, he could still see the vague scene inside, the breeze blew, the "film" swayed slightly, and the reflections of several people on it also swayed, full of unreality.
This startled the others, and they all took a few steps back.
Ye Zhifan picked up a stone and threw it in, there was no hindrance, and the sound of the stone falling to the ground could be heard, "People shouldn't be in trouble immediately when they go in, it shouldn't be divided into two worlds,"
In the distance, a signal flare burst into the sky, bursting with dazzling light.
"It's asking us to enter the ruins. Ye Zhifan, as the captain, should personally take the lead, turned back to everyone and said, "Follow closely, I won't be responsible if I lose it." ”
Hold your breath and walk straight into the ruins, the membrane is like a fluffy feather passing through the whole body, and there is no feeling, the scene in front of you is no different from the outside of the ruins, but it is so quiet that there is not even the sound of insects screaming.
"Why don't you express your feelings," Ye Zhifan turned around, stunned, and his back was empty, they didn't follow, did they lose it? What are you kidding, isn't it really Feng Zhiguang who took everyone to hide in the hole, so he took me with him, just pretending to be just a pretend, did he really think of himself as a hero who sees death as home?
Ye Zhifan approached the edge, squinted and looked outside, it was foggy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
