Chapter 126: Intercepted
9 p.m
At the entrance of the cave, Yin Chenbao, who was entrusted with the important task, was directing the villagers who had evacuated in an orderly manner, and it had begun to enter winter, coupled with a rain that had just fallen, at this time a gust of cold wind blew, and the evacuated people wrapped their clothes tightly, supported the elderly, held the children, and everyone helped each other to slowly walk out of the cave.
Guo Lin and a few young men who are familiar with the mountain road walked at the front of the team, they were responsible for helping everyone open the way, in order not to attract the attention of the search and arrest team stranded in the mountains, they all turned the lights to the darkest, which was also a last resort, due to the strong wind in the mountains, torches, kerosene lamps could not be lit at all, but at night it could not be without lighting, the villagers had to reduce the brightness of the lighting equipment such as flashlights, and then cover it with clothes or bedding outside the lighting equipment, so that the chance of light exposure was minimized.
Nearly 100 people evacuated the team, mighty, the team members were also divided in an orderly manner, every other section of the team on the side of a team member walking aside, Zhang Xiaolei took the initiative to take over the X reagent box, before coming to Xiaoshan, the X reagent box has been kept by him, this time he still provoked this important task, so that the injured Chen Wanru can free his hand and Yao Feijie to support Professor Chen, who is nearly 70 years old, to hurry together.
Walking at the end of the team is Da Zhuang, he is in charge of the break, after watching the long team of village names walk out of the cave, he walked to Zhang Weimin and Pang Jun who were standing outside the cave to see everyone, he patted Zhang Weimin on the shoulder and said: "Brother Zhang, Pang team, take care of yourself, you have to come back alive no matter what, do you hear?" ”
"Don't worry! Da Zhuang, you and your brothers must send every villager to the bottom of the mountain safely, and we will meet at the tea factory planting area at the foot of the mountain at this time tomorrow!" Zhang Weimin also patted Da Zhuang's shoulder and said.
Da Zhuang looked at the two captains and nodded, then turned around and followed.
The process of evacuation is more difficult than imagined, because the muddy mountain road after the rain is particularly slippery, and it is night, just left the cave and did not go far, there have been villagers have begun to slip and fall one after another, everyone has to help each other, so that the speed of the whole mountain has become quite slow, according to the original plan is to arrive before 2 o'clock in the morning, because it is necessary to settle in the tea factory planting area, after all, a team of nearly 100 people, When it comes to the tea factory planting area at the foot of the mountain, how to settle down well and not be discovered by the scar man at dawn is also a headache.
As the temporary commander of the descent mission, Yin Chenbao has no experience at this moment to think about what will happen at the foot of the mountain, looking at the stumbling and climbing evacuation team, the only thing he can do is to ensure the safety of the villagers while arriving at the designated place as soon as possible within the scheduled time.
Sun Yijun standing in the team was supporting an older villager, watching him stagger, Sun Yijun thought of the trapped people rescued in the Xianchuang Electronics Building, among those people there are people of the same age as the one around him, every time he sees them inconvenient, Sun Yijun will take the initiative to help them, so he and Yang Yue are highly praised among the trapped people, and everyone even did not want to leave the safety zone of the Xianchuang Electronics Building. But what I didn't expect was that these people really never had a chance to leave there, thinking of this, Sun Yijun couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, thinking about the people who were frantically attacked by zombies during the previous evacuation of the central square, the trapped people in the Xianchuang Electronics Building not long ago, and the names of these villages in front of them now, they are all victims of this catastrophe, even if they evacuate from Xiaoshan with this group of villagers now, then what is their next plan, and where is their future home, no one knows, For Sun Yijun, who has established a safe zone, he only hopes that these village names can live the life he wants, which is what he wants to see the most.
Professor Chen, who was supported by Chen Wanru and Yao Feijie, was in a very complicated mood along the way, he looked at the embarrassed village names in front of him, and a deep self-blame welled up in his heart, he thought that by leading his daughter and his teammates to the last pure land of this N city, he could remedy the mistakes he had made before with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that it was because of the X reagent that it brought such a catastrophe to the originally quiet and peaceful village, and he sighed while walking slowly with the team.
Chen Wanru on the side knew why her father had been sighing, after all, he had been with his father since he was a child, and he knew his father's feelings and moods very well, but she didn't want her father to always put all the responsibility for this disaster on her shoulders, after all, her father's original intention to develop X reagent was also for those who were suffering from illness, and families who had to face high treatment costs, just for these two dreams for the benefit of mankind, she had exhausted most of her life's efforts, and she had no time to take care of her seriously ill mother for this project. I don't have time to accompany myself who should enjoy the joy of the family, but even so, Yang Guoping, these black-hearted businessmen, still took advantage of her kind father, she always felt that the culprit of all this was Yang Guoping, if it wasn't for his unauthorized decision, this disaster would not have happened, and his father would not have become so depressed, the pain in her body at this moment could not hide the pain in her heart, she secretly swore that if there was a chance in the future, she must shake out Yang Guoping's various evils and bring to justice the real messenger behind the destruction of life!
The road leading to the tea factory planting area is getting more and more shaky, more and more villagers are sliding on the muddy and slippery mountain road, the speed of the road has stagnated for a while, some villagers in order not to slip, they use the branches picked up by the roadside to barely support a little bit of downward walking, even so, it is still very difficult to walk, some children see their mothers or family members slip, frightened on the side of the crying crying, adults are standing up with difficulty, while hurriedly stopping the crying children.
Looking at all this in front of him, Yin Chenbao, who was leaning on the trunk of a tree and commanding the villagers, was very sad, he raised his head and looked at his watch, he had been walking for 1 hour, according to the villagers who were familiar with the route, this was only about one-sixth of the distance to the tea factory planting area under the mountain, at this speed, there was no way to reach the destination before two o'clock in the morning.
Caught up with the flower shirt from behind, ran to Yin Chenbao's side, handed over a cigarette and said, "Brother Chenbao, we can't get there on time if we go on like this, what can we do?" ”
Yin Chenbao lit a cigarette and said: "It can only be like this, you see that everyone is trying their best to hurry, if you ask them to speed up again, it will be too unkind, so let's do this first, we do our duty to protect, although it is our goal to arrive on time, but ensuring the safety of the villagers is what we should care about the most!" ”
Hua Shirt nodded while smoking a cigarette, and then ran to the team of evacuated villagers, and when he saw a villager who slipped and fell to the ground, he immediately stepped forward to help him up, and then helped him to slowly follow the team.
The entire evacuation team except for the sound of breathing and the sound of hitting the ground when falling, except for the occasional crying child along the way, everyone almost kept quiet, and everyone silently communicated with their eyes, in order to minimize the possibility of the target being exposed.
But even so, a huge team walking on the uphill was still seen by the scarred man who was stranded in the mountain, this is a search team uphill from the south during the day, due to the unfamiliarity with the terrain of Xiaoshan Mountain, which led to getting lost, and in a trance walked to the west of Xiaoshan, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, he walked while looking for a place to stay overnight, and finally came to the route of the villagers' evacuation.
Guo Lin and a few young men, who were walking in the front, saw that it was too late to dodge, so they could only walk over.
As soon as the search and arrest team, which was less than ten people, saw this huge team, the leader immediately became alert, and ordered the team members to take up their weapons and get up and walk like them.
A man with a crooked hat in the lead blocked Guo Lin's way, and when they saw Guo Lin in camouflage uniform, they immediately understood everything, and the leader shouted while debugging the communicator: "Stop me, it's so late, where are you going to go with so many people?" ”
Guo Lin looked at the man wearing a hat crookedly, did not answer, and thought of a way to deal with it in his mind, at this time Yin Chenbao at the back of the team also walked over, he saw a row of people holding weapons and wearing camouflage uniforms, and he also understood in his heart, the last thing he wanted to happen still happened, seeing that the leader was debugging the communicator, he secretly sighed in his heart, if they let them spread the news, then even if it was too late, the scar man would definitely chase after him with his own people.
The man who took the lead walked in front of Guo Lin and Yin Chenbao with a sneer, looked up and down at the two people in camouflage in front of him by the light of the flashlight, and said, "It seems that your luck is not very good, isn't this Guo Lin and Yin Chenbao on the wanted notice?" It seems that Minister Liu is not miscalculated this time, you are really hiding here, okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hand over the X reagent! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of handing it over.
Yin Chenbao silently observed the people opposite, a total of 8 people, each with a weapon in his hand, at this time, if the front is hard steel, it must not be the best solution, after all, there are so many villagers standing behind him, once there is a firefight, someone will definitely be injured, it seems that he can only outwit and not break through.
Yin Chenbao suddenly smiled and said: "Brothers, you are still on a mission so late, the X reagent you want is no longer in our hands, we are just responsible for sending these innocent villagers down the mountain, how inconvenient it is to carry that thing!" ”
"Less nonsense, it's already like this, are you still hiding what's the point?" As he spoke, the leader waved his hand and motioned for the team members behind him to search the villagers' ranks.
The team members behind the leader immediately walked towards the villagers' team in pairs, some adults in the villagers' team directly picked up the children around them, and some snuggled up to each other, everyone didn't think that the road explored in advance would suddenly kill such a group of people, and now everyone still has weapons in their hands, it's really hard to deal with, if there are only 2 or 3 people, it's okay, 7 or 8 people really can't clash head-on.
Just when everyone was helpless, a gunshot suddenly sounded halfway up the mountain behind, and then there was a message from the communicator: "Please note that the team left near the halfway up the mountain on the north side of the mountain, if you find a suspicious person carrying X reagent, please come to the nearby team urgently to increase the number of people, the other party has weapons, everyone pay attention to safety!" ”
The leader who was wearing a crooked hat immediately straightened his hat and shouted at the team members who were about to search: "Come back, there is a situation!" ”
Because the villagers were very nervous at the moment, everyone didn't even dare to breathe, and they only heard the voice from the communicator on the ears of this group of people in the quiet Xiaoshan.
At this time, the leader also connected to the communicator, and said into the headset: "This is the 3rd team, we intercepted a group of villagers on the western slope of Xiaoshan Mountain, which is also mixed with several people on the wanted notice, and asked the nearby team to come and increase the number of people, suspecting that the X agent may also be hidden among these people, we are ready to search, and the nearby team will quickly increase the number of people!" ”
The leader who interrupted the communicator waited for the response from the other end of the communicator, and looked at the people in front of him, because it was very dark, and he was worried that the other team members would be mixed with these villagers, and if he suddenly let his subordinates go to search recklessly, he was worried that he would be attacked, and the gunshots on the mountainside made him even more worried.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolei, who was hiding in the crowd, put the box containing the X reagent on the ground, and the surrounding villagers also moved here intentionally, covering this important box with their bodies as much as possible.
Da Zhuang, who was standing at the end of the whole team, passed the news from the villagers in front of him, and he quietly sneaked into the surrounding bushes with a few young men, all of which was not seen by the members of the search team standing in front of the entire evacuation team, it seemed that Da Zhuang wanted to go around behind them to sneak attack this group of people.
Yin Chenbao also looked at the leader in order to delay time and said: "Brother, the X reagent you are looking for is really not on us, if you want to go back to the errand, you can take us away, but these people are innocent, they just want to go out of the mountain and wait for rescue, there is no need to harm them, right?" ”
"Less nonsense! How do I know if the rest of you are mixed in the group, look at the big bags and small bags of luggage in these people's hands, the X reagent is not in your hands, hmph, are you a fool for me? It's already like this, you guys are still obediently waiting here for the increase in personnel! With that, the leader flipped the gun in his hand.
Yin Chenbao also knew that there was no way to make the other party believe anything at this time, and the other party did not act rashly at this time because he was worried that there were members of our team, so he was waiting for the rescuers here, so he had to deal with these people in front of him before the rescuers arrived.
Yin Chenbao took advantage of the darkness and quietly put his hand on the pistol on his waist, waiting for the opportunity.
At this time, Da Zhuang and a few young people quietly went around to the woods behind the group of people, Da Zhuang picked up a stone next to him and threw it to the other side, the sound of the stone falling into the mountain forest successfully attracted the attention of the group, and the leader immediately called the two to check, and the ambush on this side was Sun Yijun and the flower shirt that had been planned by Da Zhuang in advance.
As soon as the two team members poked their heads into the bushes, two ropes were put around their necks, and then Sun Yijun and Hua Shirt used all their strength to pull the rope, and the two of them fluttered a few times and stopped moving.
The movement of the two struggling immediately aroused the vigilance of the leader, and he immediately turned around and held his gun to look in the direction where the two walked over!
