The 138th Round: A Preliminary Exploration of Hong Kong

In the tranquil sea, flocks of seagulls sometimes hover, sometimes swoop, and play to their heart's content, and there is no human activity for a long time, making it easier for seagulls to hunt and expanding their populations. The neighborhood has become a haven for wildlife.

Suddenly, the silence of the environment was shattered by the sound of a motor that had not been heard for a long time, and the seagulls immediately dispersed, and humans were strange creatures to some of the newborn birds. Bi Shengke sat on the bow of a yacht, looking at the slowly moving Tsing Yi Bridge overhead, he had been to Hong Kong more than a dozen times in the old time and space, but it was the first time since the cataclysm.

"Do we count this as illegal entry?" Wen Yu paced over with an 81-1 automatic rifle in his arms and sat down next to Bi Shengke, one of the few people in the special operations team who had been to Hong Kong. Han Jialang couldn't leave because of something, otherwise he wouldn't have had his share in this mission.

Bi Shengke took out a small book from his pocket and shook it in front of Wen Yu, "I have a "Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao", which is not considered illegal entry. Both of them laughed. It's just that there is a hint of bitterness in the laughter. What this little book represents is a past that can't be returned.

The yacht passed through the Rambler Strait and headed for Stonecutters Island, and the material collection team came to Hong Kong to fight the idea of heavy equipment of the Hong Kong Garrison. In the past, the shadowy Victoria Bay became dead silent, except for some stranded sampans, there was hardly any trace of the boat around. The towering Navy Building can be seen from afar, but after nearly a year of wind and sun, the image of the exterior wall is a little bleak. Finding an empty berth, the yacht slowly approached.

The hopeful missile frigate did not see or see any trace of survivors, and after the yacht approached the trestle, Wen Yu was the first to jump down and quickly occupied a favorable position to provide cover for the follow-up personnel to go ashore. This operation was only a pathfinder in nature, so there were not many people involved in the operation, and there were only eighteen people in total, from Bi Shengke, who led the team.

Leaving four people to watch the ship, the rest of the people led by Bishengke walked towards the base. The first time you come to an unfamiliar place, you have to be careful, although you use Google Maps to deduce the action steps in advance, but it is always impossible to act completely according to the pre-planned action when actually acting.

There were no sentries at the gate, but the sandbags and scattered bullet casings at the gate indicated that there had been fierce fighting here, and there was no time to remember what happened to their compatriots, so everyone walked over the sandbags to the base. According to the map, the first place the survivors visited was the armory, but unfortunately what awaited them was an empty warehouse, in Wen Yu's words, empty enough to run mice, and not even a single bullet was left for them. In another warehouse, they found a few big guys - eight YJ-62 ship-based anti-ship missiles, looking at these magic weapons of naval warfare, everyone had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

Next, they turned the office building dormitory barracks upside down, and the only useful thing they found was a chart of the waters around Hong Kong. Seeing this harvest after a few hours of busy work, everyone couldn't help but be a little discouraged. After a hasty lunch, everyone re-boarded the ship and turned to the next target, the Stanley Barracks. Although the Shek Kong Barracks was the main base of the Hong Kong Garrison, it was not listed as a target because it was located in Yuen Long, which was inland and too dangerous to visit. Stanley Barracks is small but close to the sea, and safety is now the number one consideration for survivors.

Heading south, through the waterway between Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island, and then turning southeast, the yacht is home to the famous waterfront clubhouse in Hong Kong, but unfortunately there is no more beautiful bikini style to be seen. Lamma Island appears in the front right, and everyone's image of it is that Chow Yun-fat was born there. Suddenly, Wen Yu pointed to an uninhabited island not far away and shouted, "Look! There are people there. ”

Bi Shengke followed his fingers, and there were flashes of reflections on the uninhabited island, and I don't know if someone was signaling or peeping through a telescope. Bi Shengke immediately raised his binoculars to see that there seemed to be two heads moving behind the reef on the island, so he ordered the pilot, "Turn the rudder!" Check out that island! ”

The island is not large, it is smaller than the famous island in the East China Sea, it is a mountain island with lush trees. Bi Shengke ordered to go around the island to look for a place to go ashore, but as soon as he turned to the south of the island, he found a fishing row. For the purpose of survival, people need to go out to sea to fish, and at the same time need to bear various risks when going out to sea to fish, so the fishing raft was born, the fishermen choose the sea surface where they want to live at sea, and then use the rubber fishing raft to make a checkered shape, and tie the net in the grid for aquaculture, and at the same time build a small house on the breeding ground for the fishermen's living needs, and there are also fishermen who eat and live in this small house. The fact that there was such a lone fishing raft here only indicated that there were survivors on the island, and Bishengke motioned for the driver to lean over.

There was no one in the hut on the fishing raft, but it was clear that there were people living here, but the dinghy, which had no communication with the land, may have been taken by the people who lived here. Two air-cushion motorboats were dropped on the yacht, and except for the four people who guarded the boat, the others boarded the island in small boats. After stepping on the beach, Bi Shengke did not immediately lead people into the mountains and forests, but took out a loud gong ready to shout. The apocalyptic environment makes everyone instinctively not believe in strangers, and the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

In order to facilitate the movement in the original time and space, the material collection team all wore 07-style camouflage uniforms and claimed to be the rescue force of the People's Liberation Army, so that they could quickly gain the trust of the scattered survivors. In any case, the leaders of the team have the status of active duty or reserve soldiers, and there is no picket team in the garrison area to check the authenticity.

After Bi Shengke identified himself, he waited for a while before two young men slowly walked out of the mountain forest. Both men were wearing the blue uniforms of the Hong Kong police, but they hadn't been ironed for a long time and looked crumpled. The first one was in his thirties, with a short beard, sharp eyes, and his hands around his waist, but Bishengke knew that this was a move ready to draw a gun at any moment. Behind him was a man in his twenties, with a white face and beard, holding a shotgun with the muzzle pointed at the ground. The two walked to a distance of about ten meters and stopped, and the policeman at the head asked, "Sir, what are you doing here?" ”

"We are from the Shenzhen rescue force," Bi Shengke took out his ID and slowly walked forward and handed it over, "We are here to search and rescue the survivors in the vicinity and take them to the safety zone of Shenzhen." In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, everyone else stayed where they were, not even making extra movements.

The policeman took the document and looked at it, of course, he couldn't distinguish the authenticity, and then handed it back to Bi Shengke, and then saluted a military salute, "Sir, I am Mo Xiaodou, the sergeant of the Outlying Islands District Police Station, police number PC3387, and now I am the person in charge of this refuge point." ”

Mo Xiaodou's British military salute made Bi Shengke feel awkward, but he still returned a military salute, "How many of you have here?" ”

Mo Xiaodou hesitated for a moment, obviously not fully trusting Bi Shengke, but he still answered the question, "We have more than fifty people here. ”

"Would you like to go to our safe zone?" Bi Shengke didn't have time to go around the bend with Mo Xiaodou, so he asked directly.

"I can't decide this alone, I need to ask for everyone's opinions." Mo Xiaodou did not refuse, nor did he agree, "All our major decisions need to be voted on democratically. ”

Bi Shengke didn't know whether to vomit this inefficient behavior, he proposed to meet with the other survivors, and the two sides communicated, Mo Xiaodou thought about it for a while and agreed. So Bi Shengke instructed the others to find shade to rest, while he followed Mo Xiaodou to the depths of the mountain forest. The young policeman stayed, consciously or unconsciously, watching his every move.

The survivors' camp is in a small col in the mountain forest, there is a mountain spring to provide the survivors with living water, a wind turbine slowly turns in the sea breeze, the camp has opened up a patch of vegetable gardens around the camp, all kinds of vegetables grow lush, Bi Shengke even saw that there were more than a dozen chickens in the cage, so he sighed to Mo Xiaodou: "Your life is good!" Mo Xiaodou just smiled.

The survivors in the camp already knew that outsiders had come to the island, and when they saw Mo Xiaodou bringing people over, they surrounded them one after another, perhaps it was Bi Shengke's military uniform that made everyone feel at ease, and began to ask him about the situation outside. Bishengke observed the group of survivors as he answered the questions of the survivors one by one. Indeed, as Mo Xiaodou said, there were more than 50 survivors, but there were only a dozen adult men, and the rest were old people, women and children. Mo Xiaodou led Bi Shengke to the center of the camp and beckoned everyone to sit on the ground, Bi Shengke told everyone that at present, all the higher-level departments cannot be contacted, and the safety zones of several nearby cities have fallen for unknown reasons, but at present, the safety zone in Shenzhen is still very safe, and more than 1,000 survivors are still trying to maintain a normal life, and at the same time, other survivors are also accepted to join the collective, and of course, Hong Kong compatriots are also welcome to join.

Mo Xiaodou also talked about his own situation, he is a native of Lantau Island, and after graduating from the police academy, he has been hiding in the outlying island area far from the bustling, and in more than ten years, he has been promoted from an ordinary police officer to a police sergeant, married a wife and had children, and is ready to spend his life in such a dull way, until the catastrophe occurs. Because it is far away from the urban area, the outbreak of mutation in the outlying island area is a few hours later than that of the urban area, Mo Xiaodou learned about the situation from the news for the first time, and quickly made the right decision, took his wife and children on the boat to go to sea, and avoided the first wave of mutation. Because he was familiar with the surrounding natural environment, he chose this uninhabited island with a water source as a shelter, and survivors came to the island one after another. Everyone also slowly discovered the characteristics of mutants who are afraid of sunlight, and used this to collect living materials from the outlying islands. As for the Hong Kong government, it was actively guiding citizens to evacuate in the first month of the cataclysm, and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) opened several shelters. Later, there was less and less news, and there has been no news for almost half a year now. Mo Xiaodou also ventured to a safe area on Hong Kong Island to take a look, except for some broken arms and bloodstains all over the ground, no living person was found. It also discouraged him from taking his family to safety.

Bi Shengke asked about the situation at the Stanley military camp again, and Mo Xiaodou told him that there was no one there, and the latter had been there before, but he had not even found a pistol.

Bi Shengke once again proposed to welcome the survivors to the safe zone of Shenzhen, and the faces of the survivors showed hesitation, Mo Xiaodou thought for a while and said: "Now we don't want to go to densely populated urban areas, and there are many alienated people in places where there are many people. He looked at his wife, and at his three-year-old son, who was holding him in his arms, and the little one was staring at his father with big round eyes. I can't let my wife and children go on adventures. ”

Bi Shengke really wanted to join the gang, because the other party was a police talent who was in short supply in the Liberation Army, and he had certain leadership and management skills. You must know that because of the shortage of professionals, the position of the chief of the Kowloon County Police Department has been vacant. Mo Xiaodou is most concerned about the safety of his family, which can be guaranteed by the new time and space, and Bi Shengke is confident that he can impress the other party with this. was organizing the language to prepare for another persuasion, but he heard Wen Yu's voice coming from the walkie-talkie, "Bitou, a ship is coming." ”
