Chapter Thirty-Eight: Strange Signs
"Or what?" Marry asked.
"I was wondering if she was going to college next, so I just asked me to arrange it for her."
"It's a good feeling. On your terms, I'm sure I'm relieved. ”
"It's not a matter of worrying, I'm just worried that Su Yi may not agree." Ye Yao frowned and said, "After all, she is also a very strong person, even if something like this happens, we have never seen her cry in front of us, I don't think she will easily accept my arrangement for her to go to school." ”
"That's true." Ma Rui held his chin in one hand and said: "The cost of going to school plus daily expenses will be a lot of money, although you have the heart to help her, but if this matter is put on me, I think I am afraid it will be difficult for me to accept, after all, eating people with a short mouth will definitely be uncomfortable." ”
"I've been struggling with this, and it's really saddening me. Anyway, we are also the tenants of her house, and we are also friends in trouble, and such a tragedy happened, and it is such a lovely girl, I really want to help her. ”
"I have a solution." Ma Rui nodded confidently: "Since it is useless, we can make up a reason for her, for example, it is to apply for her bursary fund, and then repay this fee when she works in the future, compared to taking this money for nothing, I think it will be easier for her to accept." ”
"That's an idea. I just don't know if I can fool her. ”
"Don't worry, she's not as scheming as we thought. After all, he was just a recent high school graduate. ”
"You say this as if you were saying how old we are." Ye Yao looked inside the big iron gate again, and just happened to see Su Yi waving towards her.
She immediately waved her hand in response, and then said to Ma Rui beside her:
"Let's go in too."
"Yes."
After completing the mission, Jasmine's team was given a week's vacation, which gave them time to rest, but not for a long time to leave the military base.
This is also to blame for the special period of this period, C City has invested a large number of troops, but the overall effect is not as good as imagined.
The upper echelons are still arguing over whether to rescue the citizens or clean up the zombies first.
The final result of a long-lost decision is that the number of zombies has become larger and larger.
City C is a high-density coastal city with a population of nearly 10 million, and according to the statistics given by authoritative institutions, more than 60% of the population has been infected by the virus.
This means that there are millions of zombies scattered all over City C. But this is not the most worrying, the most critical thing is that the three cities bordering City C have also shown signs of zombie spread.
Although ZF had already made a corresponding policy at the first time, and a large number of troops were deployed in the three neighboring cities, there were always places where people could not guard the thousands of kilometers of roads, and coupled with the influx of those survivors, it was difficult to achieve complete control of the situation.
At present, there is also a shortage of manpower, especially for soldiers from special forces like Jasmine, who are in short supply, and it is already a great benefit to be able to squeeze out a week's vacation for them.
"I don't know what tasks will be assigned to us after the break." The iron wolf tied the rope from his military boots and stepped on the ground. It was the first time he had worn the new boots, and he always felt a little uncomfortable, but he still thought it was just not used to it, because he felt that way every time he wore new shoes.
"Why are you thinking about it so much, didn't you say today that you were going to the cemetery to worship the fanatics?" Jazz was ready, and it happened that Old K came out of the bathroom with his beard that wasn't quite long.
"Huh? Didn't I see the captain in there just now? How did you come out of it. Jazz asked curiously.
Jasmine has a separate single room, and she doesn't live with them, but because she is a member of a squad, she often comes to their dormitory.
"She?" Old K bent down and began to put on his boots and said, "She has already gone first." I guess I've been walking for about ten minutes. ”
"Isn't it? Didn't you say you went together? ”
"What's wrong, it's not that you don't know the road, is it possible that you're still afraid of bumping into ghosts? Do you want to be bold enough to form a gang? Old K sneered mercilessly.
"You're talking like that."
"It's okay, it's not too late for us to go." Iron Wolf said: "The captain's mood should be very complicated now, so he didn't go with us." ”
"yes, after all, their relationship is still a bit special." Old K put on his boots and stood up and asked curiously, "Do you think the captain has any feelings for the fanatics?" ”
"I don't know." Iron Wolf suddenly thought of something, and said, "When you say that, I think that the person who has been chatting with the captain in that mansion before, the captain looks at him differently. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I've noticed that." Jazz and the other two walked side by side towards the outside of the room.
“。。。。。。”
Outside, the sky was blue and cloudless. The patrol squad on duty trotted along the stone path, and in the scorching sun, their army-green vests could be seen, already soaked with sweat.
Passing by the stone monument carved with the three big characters of the Martyrs' Mausoleum, Jasmine stood at the entrance, straightened her camouflage cap, and then walked in unhurriedly.
The police officers on duty at the cemetery were busy wiping down the tombstones, and when they saw someone coming in, they only raised their heads symbolically, and soon continued to bow their heads and do their own business.
Jasmine walked straight to the location of the madman's tombstone, holding nothing, no flowers, and no wine. It doesn't seem to fit in with the fact that someone is here to pay their respects.
She stared at the tombstone silently, and her mind gradually began to recall the experiences she had worked with. Although she knew that the madman liked her, she also knew that she had no feelings for him.
If you insist on feeling anything, it's just a comrade-in-arms relationship for many years. She didn't have a thousand words for him, and it seemed that all she wanted to say was the word "thank you".
Jasmine was silent for a long time, then bent down, bowed, and finally took out two 12mm shotgun bullets from the pockets of her pants and placed them in front of the tombstone.
After that, he walked outside the cemetery without looking back, and under the scorching sun, he left only a slender and chic figure.
After leaving the cemetery, Jasmine walked in the direction of the central building.
The central building acts as the central nerve of the military base, the highest command post in the area, from which almost all local military orders are issued.
As for why she went there, the reason was that when she was in the dormitory of Iron Wolf and others, she received a message from her boss that although she was on vacation, she still had to obey the order. That's why she didn't wait for anyone else and went to the cemetery alone.
After about five minutes, Jasmine reached the ground floor of the central building and took a step into the elevator, where there were quite a few people, all in officer uniforms and some in white coats.
Seeing them, Jasmine immediately thought that the army had recently brought back a batch of live zombies, although it was very inhumane, but if you want to develop an antidote as soon as possible, you can only find a breakthrough in the zombies.
The number of experts stationed at military bases is now the largest ever, but the results of specific development do not seem to have made much progress.
The numbers on the button in the elevator hall were lit up, and Jasmine took a closer look, and the floor she wanted to go to had been lit up, and she stood in the crowd with confidence.
After the elevator doors were opened and closed several times, the number of people in the elevator room did not seem to decrease much, everyone was silent, only a few people were coughing slightly, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
After a few more floors, when it was Jasmine's turn to go out, there were only a few people left in the elevator, and she walked out of the elevator room easily, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as you step out of the elevator, you can see a horizontal corridor where soldiers with rifles stand guard every few meters.
Most of these people Jasmine are quite familiar, after all, this place, she is also a regular visitor, when approaching the office that is about to arrive, the soldier standing guard on the side, whispered to Jasmine who walked by, said:
"The boss has been waiting in there for a while."
The corners of Jasmine's mouth rose slightly, nodded her head, and then pushed open the mahogany door in front of her.
"Sir?" Jasmine looked into the distance and saluted.
"Ah, you're here." The officer sat on the swivel chair and looked up, then put down the pen in his hand, looked at Jasmine, and said, "How are you resting these days?" ”
"That's definitely better than sleeping on a mission." Jasmine grinned, then sat down on the sofa chair to the side, cocking Erlang's legs in military boots.
Officer Lowe is Jasmine's immediate superior, but there is no obvious class distinction between the two. To a large extent, he will still have something to ask Jasmine for help, of course, since it is a please, it is not a task that must be performed directly assigned by the superiors.
Just like this rescue of the mayor's daughter, Jasmine also accepted his commission.
"Did you give me another task when you came to me this time?" Jasmine sat down and asked directly.
"It's not a task." Officer Lowe stood up, walked over to Jasmine with his laptop, then pointed the screen at her and said, "Do you know what this sign is?" ”
A deer's head was displayed on the screen, and then there were two crossed swords directly above the deer's head, and Jasmine looked at it for a while, then asked:
"Where did you see this icon?"
"It's not so much that it appeared suddenly, but that I'm only now noticing, that is, the milk we found with the virus, and the blood donation sites that frequently carry the virus, all have this icon."
Jasmine is well aware of the origin of this icon, which is the logo of the company that infiltrated the stealing documents with Shook a few years ago - Dilson.
But she didn't plan to tell the boss in front of her about this, because as an undercover incident is a top secret belonging to the internal organs, and it is generally a task directly given by the top leadership, so there are no more than five people who know that she has been an undercover agent in total.
In addition to protecting the smooth progress of the undercover work, the secrecy work is also to ensure the safety of the undercover agents, even in the barracks, no one can guarantee the absolute safety of a person, and the retaliation for those terrorist actions is more powerful than imagined.
So even if the mission is over, Jasmine can't easily reveal what she has done before.
"I really don't know about that."
