Chapter 30: Forward
In fact, it is quite incorrect to say that it is a formation. The more explicit description of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is that everyone has a rough queue plan:
Similar to yesterday's search for supplies, Li Qin, Cai Yan, Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Li took the lead and were the vanguard of the team, responsible for solving the battle with the dead body.
They were followed by a convoy led by Hirano Toda. Hirano leaned on the roof of the car, using the M1A1 to control the situation, while Ito and the others were supported by the corresponding crossbows in the car. The car was still driven by Shizuka Jukawa, and there was still Takashi Komuro, who was considered a wounded, in it.
Most of the people in the group followed behind the chariot that was slowly moving forward. They were guarded by the Hirata, Uemura and Ueda groups to the left, right and rear. to ensure that the team does not encounter a large-scale raid of dead bodies.
"This is clearly an offensive formation!" Seeing Li Qin arrange it like this, Saya Takashiro muttered in a low voice: "The shortcomings are too big." If the dead really come from the left and rear, you say Hirata they can hold it. ”
"This ......" The little fat man, who is Gao Cheng's follower, is speechless about this.
After Komuro was wounded and sat in a Humvee, the non-combatant Saya Takashiro became a partner with Hirano Toda. Li Qin handed her the binoculars and asked her to observe the situation in the distance from the roof of the car and complete the ammunition support to Hirano Toda.
For this arrangement, the little fat man is naturally very happy.
But Gao Cheng was a little unhappy. Even though she knew it was the right thing to do, she wasn't happy.
So he found Li Qin's stubble.
When Li Qin was away, she directly pointed out the weaknesses of Li Qin's layout in front of Pingye: the front is heavy and the back is light, the front can be said to be quite stable, but the back is ......
"It's really a little stab that can be shattered." Hirano Toda thinks so, too.
Hirata, Uemura, Ueda, their strength Hirano Toda is very clear. is different from the non-human Li Qin and Cai Yan, and is not the same as the trained self, Miyamoto Li and Poison Island Tsuneko, and even some differences from Komuro Takashi, in short, Hirata They are the most ordinary members of the academy. They do not have very good academic performance, nor do they have the "smart" force that they can directly use at the moment, and even the courage to face the dead body is weak.
It can be said that if Li Qin hadn't saved them at the beginning, and they had honestly followed Li Qin all the way here, they would have become one of the dead bodies long ago.
Good luck and knowledge of current affairs are one of the main reasons why they have survived until now.
Although they had received some training from Li Qin, Hirano Toda still shook his head when it came to what kind of combat effectiveness they had.
Although I don't want to admit it, the purpose of Hirata's existence is only to prevent the direct damage to the team caused by the large-scale impact of dead bodies. Their role can only be to warn and delay......" Hirano Toda whispered the brutal truth.
"Alas...... Because they're not strong enough? For Hirano Toda's bluntness, Saya Takashiro could only sigh like this.
All the way forward, all the way to normal.
The downtown area is still that urban area, and the streets are still that street.
The cherry blossoms on the side of the street are in full bloom. A gust of wind blows, and countless cherry blossom petals are raised with the wind at a rate of five centimeters per second...... No, even a little faster, it flew a few meters into the air and fell gently.
Blue sky and white clouds, cherry blossoms flying.
If it weren't for the cruel memories of the day before yesterday that were deeply imprinted in people's hearts, the people in the team would almost have thought that that peaceful life was about to return.
Is this paradise? All the order is still there? Like last night?
Doubts grow in people's hearts.
Looking at everything so normal, some people's hearts are more and more hanging, but some people's hearts have been put down peacefully.
The two ideas represent two different perceptions: the former suspects that it was all a conspiracy and that there was danger ahead; The latter, on the other hand, thinks that everything has returned to its original calm, and it seems that it is possible to relax with peace of mind.
But......
Is that really the case?
Li Qin was still walking, and the hearts of the people behind him were fluctuating, and he didn't know it. At this time, his brows furrowed tightly, and the vigilance in his heart became more and more intense.
No one! There are no dead bodies, and there are no living people.
Although everything is normal, such normality is itself a major abnormality.
It's not a safe place. This is evident from the charred cars that have been abandoned on the street. It's also been a place where things have changed. The dead must have attacked here.
Then the question arises.
Why is it so quiet here? Where have all the people gone?
This doubt, Li Qin has in his heart.
"It would be nice to have a remote-controlled plane that could take aerial photographs. Ay...... I forgot to rob a toy store. Li Qin sighed. If you have money, you will know that the most important thing for you at this time is the remote control plane in the toy store.
"There are no useless things, only people who can't use them." Li Qin introspected himself, and at the same time, he also remembered a sentence in his heart: "If you have any weapon to fight, you must give full play to your own advantages." ”
Play to your strengths?
Li Qin suddenly stopped and turned his head to Cai Yan.
The lack of intelligence and the unclear future are the biggest headaches for Li Qin and others at the moment.
Although Saya Takashiro, who was well protected by everyone, had a telescope in his hand and was able to warn them of it, it was not completely safe.
Because the telescope's line of sight is a straight line, and the telescope's field of view is too narrow.
"Intelligence! I need more information, especially on the movements of the dead bodies. The residential area here is built on the hills, and along the way, slope after slope, the line is also turned one after another, and every intersection is terrifying, lest some terrible guy suddenly rush out. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, and I don't want to go on like this. So ......" Li Qin's gaze fell on Cai Yan.
"Zhaoji, you bring these ......" Li Qin took out five or six mobile phones from his pocket and handed them to Cai Yan, and hung a small wireless earphone on Cai Yan's head.
The headphones were obtained by Li Qin from several dead bodies who looked like security guards when he was sweeping the streets yesterday. Ear hanging type, small and lightweight, not easy to fall, is a sports product with good performance.
Li Qin paired it with the walkie-talkie on Cai Yan's body, and commanded in a low voice: "These are all mobile phones that we have set up, so I think you understand how to use them...... Now I need you to take the first step, walk from the wall of the courtyard here, go to the front to find out the movement of the dead body, and communicate with us through your headset here. I think if there were a large number of dead bodies, you would be able to spot them about a hundred meters away. ”
"You mean to send me to scout?" Cai Yan looked at Li Qin directly, a little unconfident: "Can I do it?" ”
"Of course, trust your own abilities. Except for me, you're the strongest. And your speed ...... This is something that even I am willing to bow to. Li Qin smiled and encouraged her: "Go and show us the way." ”
"Good!" Li Qin's encouragement was a very effective stimulant for Cai Yan, and when she heard Li Qin say this, her eyes suddenly widened, and her face faintly glowed with a faint fluorescence.
She quickly climbed the wall next to her and turned to the top of the wall, and ran all the way, and in a short time she was at the corner of the intersection in front of her.
Looking at Cai Yan's disappearing back, Li Qin glared fiercely a few times, looking very worried.
When the poison island on the side saw it, he asked him puzzledly: "Since you are so worried about her, why do you want to push her out alone?" ”
"She has the strength, and now she needs to do it." Li Qin gritted his teeth hatefully: "The young eagles who have been following the eagle are not flying high. If you want to grow, you have to let her fly solo. And, do you think these dead bodies will be able to stop her? If he wants to soak it. ”
"This ......" Poison Island was speechless. In fact, she also clearly understands that when it comes to actual combat ability, Cai Yan, a little girl, is actually far above herself. The reason why she was worried about Cai Yan and felt that Li Qin was ruthless was entirely because Cai Yan's actual age was still too young.
This can be regarded as being confused.
Tsumiko Poison Island shook her head, her waist-length hair swayed, and the thought was tossed aside.
Everyone continued to move forward, and Li Qin's ears couldn't help but hear Cai Yan's information.
Normal, normal, or normal......
After several streets in a row, she found no sign of the dead body.
"Do dead bodies really not exist in this area?" Li Qin was skeptical. The doubts in his heart did not let go.
So, he continued to move forward, passing through two more intersections, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the huge castle of Gao Cheng's family, Cai Yan's exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears: "Wait, there are a large number of dead bodies in front of you...... Densely packed are not afraid of hundreds. But...... It's a little strange that they all stay there...... It's not that it's not moving, it's just that it's just dancing its teeth and claws, and there is no way to take a step forward at all, as if it was stopped by something. ”
"Huh? Stopped by something? Li Qin was surprised, and then asked, "You didn't attract their attention, did you?" ”
"No, ......," Cai Yan replied in the affirmative.
"Then you'll come back first!" Li Qin thought for a moment and ordered, "If it's a few hundred dead bodies, I think we should think of a better way." ”
"Good!" Cai Yan didn't say much, and simply agreed.
A moment later, her petite figure fell in front of Li Qin like a light lark.
"What's the situation?" Li Qin asked the people behind him to stop the pace in front, and at the same time, he asked Poison Island Tsunza to spread out the map and let Cai Yan make a comparison on the map.
Compared with the words described on the walkie-talkie, Li Qin felt that it seemed more intuitive to mark everything on the map.
Li Qin taught the pencil to Cai Yan. Cai Yan unceremoniously marked it on the map. She drew very attentively, and when she lifted the pen, there was an unusually rich bookish aura all over her body.
This is an extraordinary intellectual beauty, different from the modern genius of Saya Takashiro and the honor student like Tsumiko Poisonshima, which is completely the feeling of a lady who came out of an ancient picture scroll.
"So beautiful, so temperamental!" Except for Li Qin, who has long been accustomed to this atmosphere, the people around him didn't feel anything about it, Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Li couldn't help but fall in love with Cai Yan, and they simply admired Cai Yanlai.
Of course, this is also related to Cai Yan's young age.
Because of their young age, they all felt that Cai Yan would not be their competitor.
