"What, you mean, somebody is doing something with the drinking water in these new cities?" Yin Chenbao said the first incredulously: "Even if it is, the behind-the-scenes organization has taken away the only eighteen bottles of X reagent, five provinces, so many cities, each city's daily water supply is so large, even if all the eighteen bottles of reagents are integrated into the city's drinking water at one time, it is impossible for so many people to be infected, and these waters are not all used for reference, it may also be used for daily use, how to ensure that the solution of these eighteen bottles of X reagent can be fully diluted by water and successfully drunk by people?" ”

For Yin Chenbao's questioning, the other team members also agreed, and everyone did not believe that this small eighteen bottles of X reagent could make hundreds of millions of people in five provinces be infected in a large area in just a few days, which was almost impossible.

Chen Wanru replied calmly: "Don't get excited, everyone, this is just my guess, and it is also the only way of transmission I can think of, after all, this time I don't want to start from N City before, it is through injection that people are called to actively mutate, which leads to a full-scale outbreak, but these cities in these five new provinces have long since lost such a way as injection, so how did the infection mutation open?" ”

"I think there is some truth in Wanru's analysis." Sun Yijun, who had been fiddling with his mobile phone, suddenly said: "At first, N City also took the initiative to participate in the injection because many people believed in the miraculous effect of the X reagent, and finally I didn't know that X was not at night, but the mutation broke out, and this time the people in these five provinces have long known the virus harm of the X reagent, and it is impossible to spread it clearly, so if it is really artificially made as predicted, then waterway transmission is indeed an effective and large-scale way to spread, but I also have the same question, It's just that the number of X reagents can't cause such a rapid spread in these places this time, if it's really man-made, then how did it start? ”

"Isn't it possible that zombies from an infected area ran into this safe zone, but they weren't discovered, and they were infected for a long time, and they were not discovered until the number increased?" Flower shirt said.

"This is impossible, after the outbreak of the previous three provinces, the above has been fully informed and defended, and it is impossible for the citizens to keep it secret after the zombies are already in the city, I believe that even if there are two zombie attacks that have not been reported, it will not wait until hundreds or thousands or even tens of thousands of people will not report it, after all, the people in these five provinces have already seen relevant reports about zombies on TV or the Internet, unless people who usually do not contact the news media or platforms, Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to know that there are zombies in the city and zombies are contagious. Sun Yijun continued to express his opinion.

"Yes, I think what Sun Dashen said has a certain truth, after all, these citizens are not all fools now, seeing the zombie lake standing in place stunned and waiting for death, most of them should be out of the way to resist and eliminate, they should all report to the above, only in this way can we achieve comprehensive prevention work, but this time it is really strange, how did it break out in so many places in just a few days?" Zhang Xiaolei took a sip of the wine in the jug and said.

"So this is also one of the important reasons why I plan to go deep into the city with you, I really want to know what the root cause of all this is, if it is really man-made, what method did they use to spread the virus so quickly, I think it is more urgent to find out all this at the moment than to find the organization behind the scenes to get back the X agent, because if this method is used, then I want to be in a short period of time, not to mention the province, the whole country and even the whole world will be in crisis." Chen Wanru once expressed her determination to participate in the search and rescue operation in the city together.

"Okay, Wanru then in the team participating in the search and rescue operation tomorrow, count you as one, the question you raised is indeed one of the most important events in front of us, we are not only racing against the lives of the trapped people, but more importantly, we are racing against the future of the entire human race, so finding out the real reason for this operation is also the weight of our mission operation." Zhang Weimin agreed to Chen Wanru's request and also made clear his stance on the action.

At this time, the rest of the team members are not calm, Guo Lin, Da Zhuang, Zhang Xiaolei, the pioneers in the team are all vying to ask themselves to join the search and rescue team, Zhang Weimin is also at this moment in his mind quickly assess the attributes of each team member needed for the whole operation, this time he does not plan to focus on the strongest people, because for the task of searching and rescuing the trapped people, everyone present is competent, but looking at the appearance of every team member around him who is eager to try, he can't bear to refuse anyone, This time, even Xiao Ya, who came to FJ City with the team for the first time to participate in the search and rescue work, was very active.

"Sister Wanru said that she would take me to assist her in her work, and Team Zhang also wanted to go to Lost to participate in the search and rescue work together." Liu Jingya also said with confidence.

But Zhang Weimin kept watching the team members express their thoughts in front of him, and didn't speak for a long time, but at this time he already knew very well that it was a very prudent thing to select the right person from the 12 people to form a search and rescue team, and he also had a certain template for the candidates, so he stood up and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then he looked at everyone and said: "It's still the old saying, no matter what kind of task is assigned, it is very important for the implementation of the entire task and plan, so I don't want you to compare and be picky, the team members who have not been able to enter the city together, you have the same important task to stay in this factory, build the safety of the plant, and have been ready to plan the route out of the city to the safety zone, which is very important, and one point is to unite those workers in the factory and we are also one of the tasks of the left-behind personnel, So I don't want anyone to be dissatisfied after I've made a decision, you know? ”

The team members who had quieted down immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhang Weimin cleared his throat and said: "There are trucks in the factory, tomorrow I plan to drive a transport truck into the city, after all, the helicopter carries a limited number of people, and the truck can relatively pick up more trapped citizens, and we can also find some vehicles with a large number of people to bring back a large number of trapped people at the same time, based on this plan, I plan to leave only 4 of our 12 people in the factory and those workers to establish a safety zone, so I went out to search and rescue the eight people I arranged like this, I, Guo Lin, Da Zhuang, Wang Jingjian, Zhang Xiaolei, Luca, Chen Wanru and Yin Chenbao, together, plus Chang Xihao, a total of nine people, the remaining four people Pang Jun, you are responsible for leading the team, Sun Yijun is responsible for giving us rear support, Xiaoya, don't be unhappy, the task you left is also very important, you are responsible for all the medical preparations in the safety zone, if we come back and have personnel who need medical treatment, you have to participate as soon as possible, Brother Mao, you are responsible for assisting everyone to do a good job in the construction of the safety zone of the factory, do you understand? ”

"What a barbarism, after talking for a long time, I still took most of the main forces out, Team Zhang, you are too partial, why do you separate me and Xiaobao!" Liu Jingya pouted and looked unhappy.

Zhang Weimin looked at Liu Jingya seriously and said: "How did you promise me before you came out, all actions are under command, have you forgotten, I have just made your arrangements very clear, the work on your shoulders is not light, I hope you can pay attention to it, don't feel that it is bad to stay, and I don't care how you and Chenbao are usually, but when you perform the task, I hope you put your children's love aside, after all, this is a matter of human life, understand?" ”

Liu Jingya pouted and nodded helplessly, it was the first time she had seen Zhang Weimin so serious, it seemed that Yin Chenbao was not lying to her in private.

Zhang Weimin's serious tone was also by the way to warn the other team members to take the tasks they were assigned seriously, so after Zhang Weimin announced the specific assignment of the tasks, no one put forward any opinions.

Zhang Weimin waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he continued: "FJ City is a new city for us, and we should not have been here before, the geographical environment and weather conditions here may be a stumbling block for our mission, and we have Chang Xihao, the guide of FJ City, but after all, we are not traveling with him, but to save people, and the zombies that may appear everywhere or the mutant creatures we have never seen will be our biggest enemy, so I hope everyone will be vigilant and pay attention to safety." , go completely, give me a complete return, do you understand? ”

"Yes, I understand!" The team members replied in unison.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Weiming let everyone disperse, each went back to his room to rest, and agreed to gather at half past seven tomorrow morning to prepare for departure.

The next morning, the weather was still as gloomy as yesterday, and there was still snow, but it was much smaller than yesterday's snow, and the snow on the ground outside had increased a little thicker under the overnight snow.

Zhang Weimin got up early in the morning, washed up, and came to the activity room on the fifth floor alone, because the space here is relatively spacious, he walked to the windowsill of the activity room, while looking at the factory outside while stretching, I don't know how many times I got up first, at this time it was 6:30 in the morning, the sky began to brighten, the snow-white earth seemed to be covered with a layer of cotton, Zhang Weimin, who was in his early thirties, had long lost the excitement of the snow day in his childhood, but he was faintly worried about the impact of the snow on the task for a while.

At this time, Uncle Xu, who was also an early riser, passed by the activity room and saw Zhang Weimin doing exercises by the window, so he walked in first, and said to Zhang Weimin with a smile: "Morning, Captain Zhang, get up so early to exercise, this night's snow is not small, you should pay attention to safety when you go out to perform tasks today!" ”

Zhang Weimin turned around and said with a smile: "Morning, Uncle Xu, I was about to look for you, I forgot to tell you last night, where is the canteen truck you said, we plan to borrow the truck here to go into the city for search and rescue, do you think it's okay?" ”

Uncle Xu immediately said: "I'll take you there in a while, but the road is slippery in this weather, and no one is responsible for shoveling snow when trying to get infected with the virus, so it's not easy to drive this way!" ”

"Then there should be a snow plow handlebar in the factory?" Zhang Weimin suddenly remembered what he said.

"Yes, I will arrange someone to drive you over first, then you must pay attention to safety, our weather is cold, the wind and snow are heavy, and the road is slippery, you must remember to pay attention!" Uncle Xu looked worried.

Zhang Weimin saw the fatherly care in Uncle Xu's eyes, presumably the fifty-year-old man in front of him must also have a convincing and happy family, and he must have his own story behind him, but now he has no time to listen.

"Team Zhang, you and your team members prepare first, Lao Li Tou and they have already prepared breakfast, and then leave early after eating, I'll go and let Erwa and them drive the car for you now, and when you're full, you can set off directly, so you won't delay time." After speaking, Uncle Xu turned around and prepared to walk towards the door of the activity room.

Zhang Weimin hurriedly thanked him and walked out of the activity room.

Back in the dormitory room, the team members had already gotten up one after another, everyone was making final preparations, and even the team members who were in charge of staying behind also got up and cleaned up.

Zhang Weimin said while looking at everyone: "Uncle Xu prepared breakfast for us, we will set off after eating in a while, I asked the factory to borrow a driver and a snow shovel, and after a while, Guo Lin and I took Chang Xihao to the snow plow, and the others were responsible for driving the truck to follow behind, we all went all the way towards loss, do you understand?" ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Weimin turned around and put on his equipment, and was about to return to the activity room for breakfast, Pang Jun quickly chased after him and said: "Team Zhang, the weather in this mission is also your biggest enemy, so you must be careful this time no matter what, we will wait here for you to come back safely, as for the search and rescue, you have experienced it, don't bring too many people at one time, the vehicles here are not as good as those issued by the Eastern Battalion, and I am afraid it will not be very easy to deal with the attack of the zombie army, so try to bring back the trapped people safely, understand?" ”

Zhang Weimin punched Pang Jun in the chest and said: "When did our Captain Pang become such a mother-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely pay attention, but you also have to be more careful, look at the trend last night, there are very likely to be a lot of zombies in the mining area in the west, and I don't know how the gap was destroyed, I suspect that there may be mutant creatures here, so be more careful when taking the team members and workers, and the rear defense and safety work will be handed over to you!" ”。

Pang Jun nodded fiercely, he had also had the experience of acting separately before, and it stands to reason that he should have been used to it for a long time, but this time Pang Jun always felt a little uneasy, after all, he was in a southern city before, and this time he came to the snowy north more or less to add a certain degree of difficulty to the task, so he had to give Zhang Weimin a good advice this time anyway.

Then Zhang Weimin patted Pang Jun on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast first." ”
