Catastrophe Chapter 29 Cornered
“…… Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Zhang Yu stood on the wide highway and roared at the empty front with a frantic face.
Beside him stood the silent Long Hao and his party, at this time they had entered the scope of the provincial capital, and according to the instructions given by the official, they had successfully completed almost the entire journey. Except for their group, no one will know how they understood the battle they experienced on this short road of tens of kilometers.
All that could be seen was the blood-stained convoy and the many security officers wrapped in gauze but still holding weapons to guard the surrounding area.
At this time, in front of Long Hao and them, there was a big river more than ten meters wide, and the highway leading to the provincial capital passed through the big river. There used to be a bridge here, but now, for unknown reasons, it has collapsed. The collapsed bridge seemed to be smashed into everyone's hearts with a heavy hammer, and the heavens didn't seem to want to let them go so easily?
"Boss, it's getting dark, why don't we throw away our supplies and make some rafts to cross the river?" We're so close to the safe zone that we can get to it on foot and we'll be saved! One of Long Hao's squad leaders took the lead in breaking the silence, and it was not a way to stay here after all. Now that the bridge was broken, they had to find another way out or wait for death.
"Yes! No matter how precious the material is, it doesn't matter how important it is, we can't stay here forever, can we? There was an immediate echo from the team.
"Crossing the river?" Long Hao thought about walking around in place for a few moments, in fact, this is not a way, instead of driving a detour, maybe crossing the river is the most direct way, but Long Hao has some hesitation. It's not that he doesn't want to give up the supplies in the convoy, but he remembers the mutated birds that he has encountered several times. Since birds have also mutated, is it possible that fish are also possible?
On land, they could have a few hands with the mutated creatures with the guns in their hands, but if they went down to the river, they were attacked. Then it's really over, they can only tie their hands and obediently become their meal.
But Long Hao was also unwilling to give up this easiest way, and after thinking about it for a while, Long Hao made a decision, "You can give it a try, but now we don't know what the situation is in the water." Everyone has also seen that almost all birds and animals have mutated, so will the fish in the water also mutate? We must not rush into the water. Xiaofeng, you take a few brothers with me to the river to have a look, and the others are on standby. ”
"Big brother, why don't you go with Xiaofeng?" It was Li Lan who spoke, and when he heard that Long Hao was going to personally lead the team to the river, he immediately stood up to oppose it, but Long Hao obviously didn't want to accept his opinion now.
"Don't make trouble, I have been in the army, Xiaofeng has also been professionally trained, and his skills are better than you, you still stay with the second child and Mr. Lin to watch the team, don't be taken by those monsters, we will get the nest." As for me, you don't have to worry, although I haven't done it for a few years, but this ability may not necessarily be left behind! Long Hao categorically rejected Li Lan's suggestion, and Li Lan was in charge of logistics most of the time. Because he has no military experience, he is far inferior to others in terms of skills, and Long Hao certainly won't agree with him to take this risk.
Li Lan took two steps forward, and wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Long Hao, "Eighth brother, you don't need to say it, you know very well what you are good at." Xiaofeng, go and get some people, we have to speed up. If you drag it until dark, it's troublesome! ”
I have to say that Mo Feng, as the youngest brother, has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things, without dragging his feet at all. After receiving Long Hao's order, without saying a word, he quickly pointed out more than a dozen skilled subordinates from the crowd, and the security officers who were ordered did not have any objections, and quickly stood in the queue, waiting for the action order.
Long Hao nodded affirmatively, as long as the team maintained this unity, he believed that no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would be able to save the day.
"Second child, stop chattering over there! Xiaofeng and I are going to the river to check the situation, you stay here to keep an eye on the convoy, there is a map in the command vehicle. You go and take it out, and you guys will study together if there is a recent diversion route, we don't have time to delay it any longer! Before leaving, Long Hao first calmed Zhang Yu's emotions, but fortunately, Zhang Yu was just complaining, and he would not be hit by such a little thing.
After hearing Long Hao's words, he quickly came back to his senses, "No problem, do you want to bring more people over?" To get to the river, you have to go through the woods below, and I'm afraid it's not easy to live inside. Zhang Yu glanced at the dozen or so brothers standing behind Long Hao, a little worried about whether they could safely walk through the woods.
Long Hao shook his head negatively, "No, there are too many people, it will get in the way, and we don't need to carry supplies, just take the weapon and go into battle lightly, and it is convenient to move with fewer people." ”
Zhang Yu and the others did not continue to refute after listening to it, after all, what Long Hao said was not unreasonable, in the jungle environment, sometimes there are too many people and it will become a burden. It is better to choose to travel lightly and quickly travel through the past.
"Okay, you guys be more careful, launch signal flares when in danger, and we will immediately bring people to support you!"
"Well, I guess it's not feasible to cross the river, so you have to plan a new route as soon as possible, and the most important thing is to protect the ordinary people in the convoy, understand?"
"Don't worry, as long as we're alive, we won't let anything happen to them!" Zhang Yu patted his chest firmly.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Long Hao immediately turned around and ordered his companions to prepare to go, "Haw!" Haw! At this time, Zhuo Feifei, who had just been injured in the morning and was arranged by Long Hao to recuperate in the carriage, collapsed out of nowhere, jumped in front of Long Hao and made a gesture, wanting to go with Long Hao and the others.
However, this time he was directly rejected by Long Hao, although Zhuo Feifei had excellent combat power and strong recovery ability, after all, he had just been seriously injured a few hours ago, just kidding, after resisting the attack of a whole group of beasts, even the strong Zhuo Feifei was not lightly injured.
After that battle ended, Long Hao personally checked Zhuo Feifei's injuries, so on the next road, Zhuo Feifei was strictly forbidden to participate in the battle.
Zhuo Feifei was immediately anxious when he heard this, and he danced and gestured, probably because he was too anxious, so that Long Hao didn't understand what he was doing. However, this did not prevent Long Hao from insisting on his decision not to continue to fight, "Okay, brother, I can understand that you are worried about my safety, but your task now is to take care of your injuries." We will definitely be able to go to the safe zone, the days will be long, and I will not let you be idle when you are healed. ”
"Chirp!" How do you know that Zhuo Feifei still refused to agree to Long Hao, and several brothers standing on the side went up together without holding him, and directly rushed to Long Hao's side with an arrow, patting his chest hard, as if saying that he was fine.
However, Long Hao was also determined not to let him continue to participate in the war this time, it was originally just a meeting in Pingshui, although Long Hao could be regarded as saving Zhuo Feifei once. But what he didn't expect was that Zhuo Feifei began to follow him wholeheartedly, in the past two days, he has charged into battle several times to save everyone's lives, and he has also paid a heavy price for it, and now he can be described as a new injury for an old injury. Almost no skin and flesh on his body is intact, people have feelings, and Long Hao can feel Zhuo Extraordinary's sincerity. But what can he do? Could it be that because Zhuo Feifei is willing to follow him, he can do whatever he wants and let Zhuo Feifei give him his life?
This kind of thing, Long Hao said that he would never be able to do it, raised his head and looked at Zhuo Feifei with worry and pleading on his face, Long Hao was very touched in his heart, which strengthened his idea of refusing to act with Zhuo Feifei. Even if Zhuo Feifei is just a monkey now, Long Hao has already regarded Zhuo Feifei as his brother in his heart.
"Extraordinary, do you remember what I told you that night? Now, obey orders! Long Hao patted Zhuo Feifei's big hand hanging beside him seriously, don't ask why you don't pat your shoulder, you can't pat it.
Looking at Long Hao with a determined face, Zhuo Feifei wanted to speak again and again, and finally lowered his head and walked to Zhang Yu and them silently. Zhang Yu, who saw all this in his eyes, was also deeply touched, and also slapped Zhuo Feifei's broad palm, "Don't worry, Brother Monkey, don't underestimate the boss too much, he has been the boss for too long, so everyone rarely sees him make a move." Most of you don't know that when we were in the army, he was the top group of people in our military region! If he really wants to make a move, most of the people here are probably not his opponents. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yu also raised his head at Long Hao, "Boss! You haven't lost your skills yet, have you? ”
Here, Long Hao grinned and easily somersaulted, "Don't worry, you can't lose it!" Alright, time is pressing, everyone checks their weapons, let's go! ”
Immediately afterwards, Long Hao led more than a dozen people to run quickly to the river, and after a while, the figure disappeared into the dense forest. The people standing in place watched their disappearing backs with worried expressions.
"Okay, don't look any further, you're responsible for protecting the safety of the convoy, and I'll go in with them to study the route!" Zhang Yu clapped his palms and signaled that it was time for the others to go in and work, and everyone came back to their senses, Zhuo Feifei walked back to recuperate without saying a word, and at this time, Lin Xuan walked to Zhang Yu's side, "Is there anything wrong, goddess?" ”
Zhang Yu felt that it was a bit raw to call Lin Xuan's name directly, call someone Xuan'er or something, it was too much, so he simply called Lin Xuan Goddess directly. can be regarded as expressing his heart from the side, but Lin Xuan did not refuse? just glanced at Zhang Yu helplessly, "I want you to send a few people to protect me and my students, I want to go to Qiaotou to collect some samples!" ”
"Collecting samples?" Zhang Yu didn't know why he had to scratch his head, what is there to collect? Can the bridge still be repaired? It seemed to see the confusion in Zhang Yu's eyes, Lin Xuan immediately explained the reason, "This bridge collapsed too weirdly, I just took a preliminary look and thought it might be caused by formic acid, so I wanted to take some samples back for testing, if it is really caused by formic acid, it means that the insects have also mutated, and I have to pay attention to it!" ”
"Well, this really needs to be confirmed! Okay, I'll arrange a team to keep you safe! Zhang Yu is not a straw bag, and after Lin Xuan explained a little, he immediately analyzed the stakes.
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare the equipment first, I'm sorry for the trouble!"
"No, you're right, the stakes are high, and it really needs to be investigated. You go and prepare the equipment first, and I'll arrange the manpower for you!" ”
