Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 149 Exploring Long Ridge
Xie Lingguang's warning immediately attracted the attention of the machine gunner, only to see that he turned on the tactical light on the machine gun, and at the same time turned on the safety of the machine gun, and shone the muzzle of the gun towards the place Xie Lingguang pointed, but he saw nothing, and he cautiously expanded the search range, however, the place Xie Lingguang pointed to was the lawn of the airport, but these lawns, because they had not been mowed for a long time, had grown to knee-high, and the light hit it, either it was reflected away, or it disappeared, in short, nothing could be seen.
"What's that?"
Xie Lingguang held the night vision binoculars in his left hand, and pointed to a place on the lawn with his right hand: "Here, it looks like an animal." ”
But when the Heavy moved the machine gun there, the red shadow ran away again. Xie Lingguang had no choice but to track its footprints again, but no matter how hard he tried, this red shadow could always avoid it before the tactical light on the machine gun shone on it, and just like that, five minutes passed in a flash.
"No, it can't be illuminated at all!"
Seeing this, Wei Yilin, who was sitting on the other side of the cabin, opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Xie, can you see what it is?" ”
However, Xie Lingguang shook his head: "No." ”
This is troublesome, because if this is an infected dog, in order to ensure everyone's safety, it must be shot to death, but once shot, it will inevitably alarm the infected people in the airport, and then it will inevitably be another vicious battle. If it is just an ordinary small animal, then there is no need to shoot to stimulate those infected, and this Changling International Airport is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and on this mountain, there are many wild animals similar to dogs on weekdays, and now that human activities have stopped, it is very likely that they will go down the mountain to forage for food.
"Keep an eye here, Lao Qin, Qiao Wu, you two go down and have a look." Wei Yilin said, patting the back of the pilot's seat behind him, "We're going to rappel." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Okay." The co-pilot answered, turned his head and said a few words to the pilot.
The latter nodded and raised the control lever slightly: "The height is thirty-three meters, the wind speed is three meters per second, and the weather is fine." The rope drop counts down to one minute. In the cabin, Qin Tianwu and Qiao Wu have already begun to be busy, unloading some unnecessary loads, and checking each other whether the rope descent tool can still work properly, Qiao Wu is sitting on the outside, so after the inspection, he sat on the edge of the cabin, and after a general observation of the environment below, he left the cabin with his feet kicked, pulling the rope, and sliding down little by little.
Qin Tianwu followed closely and also came to the edge of the cabin, however, he did not rush to jump down, but patiently waited until Qiao Wu landed, raised his gun and walked a few steps forward, and then slid down the rope. As the two of them slid down, Xie Lingguang and the machine gunner kept staring at the lawn.
"Call 01 to call 02, report the situation, over."
After a while, Qin Tianwu's response came from the communicator: "No. 02 calls No. 01, it is approaching the lawn, nothing has been found, over!" ”
"Received on the 01st, stay alert, over!"
On the other side, Qin Tianwu and Qiao Wu, a tall and a short person, had slowly approached the lawn, but this lawn was so lush that even if they stood on the edge of it, it was difficult to see what was under it. Qin Tianwu raised his left hand horizontally and stopped Qiao Wu, who was about to walk towards the lawn, after all, it was too dangerous to do so.
"No. 02 calls No. 01, the edge of the lawn is not found, is it inside? Complete! ”
"Received on the 01st, stand by and stay alert, over!"
"Received on the 02nd, done!"
"Lao Xie, is that thing still there?"
Xie Lingguang frowned, and after a long while, he said, "In the direction of their eleven o'clock, about ten meters, but I can't see which direction its head is facing." ”
"Number 02, target, eleven o'clock, ten meters away. Complete! ”
"Received on the 02nd, done!"
Qin Tianwu straightened his waist and looked over there, there seemed to be something in the dark grass there, but for a while, he couldn't tell what it was. Qin Tianwu frowned slightly, put the assault rifle in his hand behind his back, then took out the shotgun, and with a "bang", pushed the steel bullet onto the chamber, and then stepped into the grass.
The dry grass immediately let out a few moans, this grass seems to have become the home of many animals, Qin Tianwu just stepped into it with one foot, the whole grass was alarmed, and the black shadow was no exception, I saw it swoop suddenly, its body bounced high, and then flew outward, and after a while, it was far away from the grass.
A false alarm!
"It left." Xie Lingguang reported.
"Call 01 to number 02, stay alert! The helicopter is about to land, done. ”
"Received on the 02nd, done!"
The two figures, one tall and one short, immediately slowly retreated and separated, one standing in the direction of the tankers, the other facing the direction of the lawn. This is due to the fact that only these two directions, within two hundred meters of the helicopter, have shelters that can provide concealment, and the other two directions, one facing the runway and the other, facing a huge hangar.
A minute later, with a "bang", the helicopter slowly landed on the ground, the roar of the engine slowly weakened, and the rotation speed of the two rotors slowed down little by little, and now it was the most vulnerable time for this helicopter - because this type of Iroquois, once the engine stopped, it would take a long time to start it again, and the plane, once it left the sky, was like a shark leaving the sea, it could only be slaughtered.
But now, there is also a benefit, that is, the airport has finally returned to tranquility, after all, the engine of this helicopter is still quite noisy. The cockpit door was opened, and two pilots came out of the sides of the helicopter, and what they had to do now was to assist in the vigilance, after all, there were not enough people. The man, on the other hand, was still cowered in the cabin.
"Lao Qin, Lao Xie, look forward to this." Wei Yilin patted the shoulder blades of the two, and then beckoned to Qiao Wu, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Over there, that's the oil depot. According to the plan, the helicopter will be refueled and lifted off again to cover their exploration of the entire airport. But soon, Wei Yilin discovered a frustrating thing - these tanker trucks are equipped with alarms, that is, once their windows are broken, the alarms will be non-stop.
"Captain, smash it?" Qiao Wu raised the butt of his rifle and pointed it at the passenger seat glass of a fuel tanker, but he didn't dare to smash it rashly.
Wei Yilin touched the wire of the communicator: "No. 01 calls No. 02, ready to smash the window, it may alarm the infected, stay vigilant!" Complete. ”
"Received on the 02nd, done!"
Now, we can only hope that the quality of the soundproof glass in the waiting room is good enough. The sound of the siren was deafening. Fortunately, Qiao Wu didn't let it be arrogant for long, and completely shut it up, and then, he opened the door of the cab, and Wei Yilin also climbed up, standing on the steps at the edge of the cab, holding the flashlight high in his right hand, in order to give Qiao Wu a well-lit working environment.
"Why can't you have a master car key?" Qiao Wu complained while messing with the intricate wires.
"That's a really esoteric question."
The two of them played around for a while before starting the car. At this time, Xie Lingguang also chose a good location - the control tower located next to the runway, this tower is more than ten meters high, if you can set up a gun on it and monitor the entire apron, it will not be difficult, but the only question is, will there be an ambush of infected people in this tower? If there were, it would be very dangerous for him to break in rashly alone.
"Are you alright?" Wei Yilin asked the two pilots.
"That's it!" One of them replied, "It's time to refuel." ”
"Be on guard, let's go to the tower and have a look." Wei Yilin said to the three crew members, in addition to the machine gun, the three of them each carried a pistol, and the co-pilot also had a self-defense submachine gun, this weapon should be enough to deal with the cluster of infected people from the terminal, of course, if some of the infected people went around the other side of the helicopter and launched an attack, it would be difficult to do - I hope this situation will not happen.
Before leaving, Wei Yilin poked his head into the cabin and asked the man, "Where is your plane?" ”
"Over there." The man leaned in the direction of the machine gun and pointed to the large black building, "Parking Booth Twelve." ”
"Were there any guests up there at the time?" Wei Yilin's mind flashed through the cabin full of people.
Fortunately, the man shook his head: "At that time, we were refueling and cleaning the cabin, when we suddenly received a notice that the airport was closed." Then all the staff were told to leave the plane,"
Wei Yilin nodded, this is really unusual good news, which means that as long as this passenger plane is filled with fuel, it can soar in the sky again and fly to any corner of Chixian.
Soon, the four of them came to the tower, Qin Tianwu broke the door lock with a shot, and then kicked the door open, everyone rushed in, and after a while, the bottom of the tower was cleaned, and then the floor by layer was swept up, because the door of the tower has been locked, and it happens to be located in the corner of the airport, therefore, there is no one on it. Sure enough, the four of them searched the tower, but found nothing but four flesh-and-blood, foul-smelling corpses, some of which had grown ruby eyes, and some of which still looked like healthy people.
"Someone got infected, but ended up starving to death because there was no food." The gas mask made Qin Tianwu's voice hoarse and muffled.
Wei Yilin raised his head and looked at the central air conditioning outlet on the ceiling on the top floor of the tower: "This tower, inside, may be full of viruses." ”
"It's good that we're tightly wrapped."
Xie Lingguang glanced at the corpse lying in a pool of dark green blood on the ground: "It's been dead for so long, the virus should be dead." ”
"It's hard to say." Wei Yilin shook his head, stepped on a swivel chair and jumped onto the console, pulled out the safety hammer glued to the window, and tapped the corner of the tempered glass with a "ping-pong", "Come on, break it first, so that you can get some wind." ”
"Okay." After three or two gestures, everyone smashed the two pieces of glass, and Xie Lingguang's sniper rifle finally had a good shooting platform. At this time, the eastern sky is also white, just a little later, Changling Airport, will show its true face to these strange visitors, as the gateway of the Lijiang River, what kind of face does it look like? In everyone's hearts, they couldn't help but look forward to it.
