Chapter 107: After the Break
Cheng Haowen gave another order, and the doctors accompanying the army and the wood-based abilities of the mercenary group helped the injured who fell in the earthquake and the battle to be treated, and they were arranged to the troop carrier after being overwhelmed by the big tree and unable to move.
Many of the paramedics prioritized the lifting of fallen soldiers, but some lost their lives in the fighting.
They were not killed by zombies, but died in vain at the hands of the people, and these medical soldiers felt aggrieved for them.
They silently put away the corpses of these warriors, their eyes full of resentment and incomprehension.
Cheng Haowen called the commander of the fifth company together with the commander of the Wild Wolf and the hot-blooded mercenary group, and ordered them to continue to march forward behind, and the commander of the fifth company on the way was commanded to protect the survivors until they caught up with Lao Li's second column, and finally unified under the command of Lao Li.
Hearing that these ordinary survivors were still to be protected, although the commander of the fifth company and the commander of the mercenary regiment agreed, they were very disapproving.
Why should they protect these heartless ordinary people? They do not know how to be grateful, and always think that it is natural for soldiers and people with extraordinary abilities to protect them, and their lives are more precious than others?
Cheng Haowen looked at the expressions on the faces of the three people, and knew in his heart that after this riot, it was difficult for them to do their best to protect these people. He understands that everyone is very afraid of conflict in their hearts, but the subconscious mind will choose to prove itself through conflict. Because conflict can temporarily alleviate long-suppressed fears, when fear is masked by conflict, people derive courage from conflict.
These survivors have lost their homes, faced with zombie attacks and natural disasters, and the pent-up fear has already broken through the tipping point, and even if there is no conflict, there will be other ways to vent.
But she lacks skills and needs to command the blocking action, if it is Lao Zheng or Xiao You, it would be good, Xiao You can easily stabilize people's hearts, and she herself is a strong guarantee. And if Lao Zheng is here, he can easily control the situation and will not let it develop to the point where it is now. Pity...... He looked at the captains of the 6th and 7th companies with regret, they were all good obedient people, but they were not generals who responded in time.
Suppressing the worries in his heart, he divided the two tanks among the commander of the fifth company. Let him lead two mercenary groups to protect the remaining people and continue to accelerate forward.
When these figures slowly disappeared in front of him, Cheng Haowen heard the rustling sound of the hand on his shoulder.
"Howen, are you okay? Brother Zheng called you, why didn't you answer? How are you over there?" A gentle female voice sounded, making him hesitate a little. Some fears settled down in my heart.
"It's okay! Xiao You, how are you over there?" After he gave the order to set off to the commander of the sixth company, he turned around and got into the armored car. From the walkie-talkie, he could tell that the fighting had stopped on the side of the first column, and only the roar of tanks and armored vehicles was moving.
"At the moment everything is normal, actions are being carried out as planned, and there is still one kilometer to reach the Guoan Bridge. The earthquake was also felt here, but there were no casualties...... I saw the mushroom cloud, did Zhou Zhi's arrangements play a role?"
"Well, there are three magma worms, and they're very dangerous. Two of them had already been blown up, but unfortunately they didn't have time to kill the third. According to the energy fluctuations, it should be level six, capable of spraying magma, four meters thick, and thirty meters long," he explained to several people as he watched the data analyzed by the computer based on the video.
Xiao Lianyou stood on the armored car, paying attention to all the movements in front of her, the Guoan Bridge was already in sight, and Shuifeng Lake was shining with a little golden light in the midday sun. It is as if the broken jade has been sprinkled into the lake, and it is still so quiet and beautiful.
She exhaled a long breath, as if she could exhale her worries along with it, and asked softly, "What are you going to do with that bug?"
From the walkie-talkie. She also heard chaotic shouts and gunshots, it should have been a riot in the face of the disaster, right? But Xiao Lianyu didn't ask, compared to **, or these monsters are more threatening to the current form.
"There's really nothing to do about it at the moment, we don't know exactly what this bug is, maybe it's going to feed in place. Then we will escape, but if it is unfortunate enough to chase after it, then I can only lead the team to drag the magma worm, you take a large army to cross the Guoan Bridge quickly, only by leaving this worm here in Dong'an City, we can have a way to live!" Cheng Haowen said in a deep voice.
"You mean blowing up the bridge?"
"Blowing up the bridge"
Two exclamations sounded at the same time, it was Zheng Xingchen and Lao Li, who had been listening carefully to them.
"No!" Zheng Xingchen shouted, "You are a dignified head of the regiment who will lead the team in the future? Have you planned it a long time ago? I said why didn't you let me break off the queen! And lie to me that you won't have an accident if you have a special ability! You come back, let me go to the aftermath! Act right now, it's still too late!"
Xiao Lianyou heard the door open on the walkie-talkie.
Xiao Lianyou also frowned, he broke off, dragging the magma worm too dangerous! Before she could say anything, Cheng Haowen loudly intercepted Zheng Xingchen's words: "Lao Zheng! This is an order! Without your command, Xiao You doesn't know these command procedures at all." I have invisibility and speed, and there's a chance to survive here, and you'...... I can't risk it!"
Zheng Xingchen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Haowen's series of orders: "Lao Li, the fifth company cooperates with the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment and the Bloody Mercenary Regiment to escort the people to meet you, you first let the mobile troops speed up to catch up with the first column and join them." You cross the bridge faster with your non-motorized troops. Try to get the explosives in place before I arrive...... If you see worms and I haven't arrived yet, you're going to blow up the bridge!"
"No ......!" Xiao Lianyou screamed, unable to breathe in pain at the last possibility he said.
She thought about it again and again in her heart: should she accompany him by herself?
No! Let's not say that the magma worms have not yet chased after us, but if the first column does not lead the team by itself, what should we do about the danger ahead? If we leave, will it cause a riot?
But Howen he ......
There was silence on the armored vehicles, and everyone was in a heavy mood.
Xiao Lianyou's heart seemed to be tormented repeatedly in the oil pot, she bit her lower lip, stabilized her emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Haowen, you remember! You once owed me a promise, and it doesn't count ...... not being able to speak."
Her voice choked, she took another deep breath, blinked a few times, and looked up ahead.
The Guoan Bridge is already close at hand! Because of the cleanup a few days ago, the bridge was empty, and the cable-stayed steel cables shone blindingly in the sun.
Zheng Xingchen suppressed the worry about Cheng Haowen in his heart, and gave an order, or Xiao Lianyou's armored car took the lead, and the three tanks escorted the left and right, and drove on the bridge together.
Yu Yiran noticed the tears flashing quickly in her eyes, but she just lowered her head and didn't say anything.
From the bottom of his heart, he admires Cheng Haowen, every man has a heroic dream, but not everyone can give up his life for the overall situation. And Cheng Haowen probably made this decision before leaving, right? So did he entrust Ah Xuan to himself?
If he leaves like this, he will live in Ah Xuan's heart for the rest of his life, and then he will really not be able to fight him anymore! This is his conspiracy, and he must not let him succeed.
Yu Yiran clenched his fists and secretly decided in his heart.
Huang Fatzi and Ah Feng glanced at each other, both admiration for Cheng Haowen and sympathy for their boss, which was really mixed.
There was a roar in his ears, Xiao Lianyou looked back at the long convoy, her eyes were full of determination: Howen, you wait, I won't let you face danger alone.
