Chapter XII

"Hey, can you hear me? Hey, this is Command. Hear it please reply?! ”

An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the radio, and it could be heard from the speech that the other party was in a hurry.

"Hey, you can hear me. You say..."

Ted heard a sudden sound on the radio, and he immediately picked it up to answer.

Henry was right next to Ted, and he snatched the radio.

"I'm Lieutenant Henry in the Sea Blue District, leading the troops on a mission in the North City District. Now the troops have suffered heavy losses and are calling for help. ”

Henry saw that the news finally came from the headquarters, so he hurriedly reported the situation here.

"Okay, I understand the situation over there. I will notify my superiors to send you to the rescue, are you alone now? Is there anyone else around? ”

The other party readily agreed to Henry's request.

"Oh, I'm the only one with my lieutenant, Ted."

Henry didn't understand what the other party meant, so he had to answer honestly.

"You are now looking for a place where no one is around, and your superiors have a secret mission to convey to you..."

When the other party said this, he obviously lowered his voice, as if he didn't want others to hear it.

"Yes, yes, wait for me."

Henry had doubts, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only do what the other party asked.

"Hey, I'm alone now, make sure no one can hear our conversation."

Henry found a corner where no one was around, and whispered with his hand over his mouth.

"Tomorrow there will be a helicopter flying over your area, the helicopter can only seat five people, and you can evacuate the personnel. Remember, the helicopter will only stay for a short time, so..."

The other party wanted to speak and stopped, paused and said.

"This classified mission is to ask for a person to be brought safely back to the base, and this person's information will be sent to you later. You choose the personnel who will carry out the mission, and when the mission is completed, the base will send a response personnel, and only you and the target person can return to the base, understand? ”

The other party explained the content of the task in detail, and the tone was unquestionable.

“…… Got it, I'm sure I'll complete the task! ”

Henry was silent for a few moments before replying.

The man on the other end of the radio heard Henry's affirmative answer, and then cut off the radio talk in satisfaction.

Henry understood the demands of the mission and fell into deep thought. Only oneself and the target person can be rescued, and those who follow him on the mission can only be abandoned.

Henry is not a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is also not a ruthless man either. Following his birth and death, but not being able to live, is unacceptable to Henry.

Just as Henry was still thinking about how to find the best of both worlds, a "drip" sound interrupted him.

Henry unzipped his shirt and pulled a tablet out of his inner pocket.

This tablet is a special device configured by the army and has a lot of features.

At this moment, the screen of the tablet lit up, and Henry clicked a button on it.

Then a man's profile appeared, with a profile picture on the left and his details on the right.

Heng took a minute to browse through the man's profile, then closed the tablet and put it away.

Ted watched Henry mysteriously go to a dark corner and whisper something to the radio, as if afraid that the others would hear.

Ted sensed strange and went to Henry to see what he was talking about.

But by the time Ted came up behind Henry, Henry had already finished the call, standing there not knowing what he was thinking.

Ted slapped Henry on the shoulder from behind, but he didn't expect this to startle him.

Before Ted could speak, Henry's voice had already arrived.

"There will be a helicopter coming to our rescue tomorrow afternoon, and you will take the few people we saved with you."

When Henry said this, he seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Oh, yes. The superiors sent someone to save us, great! So, what about you? Aren't you going along? ”

Ted was very happy to hear this, but in addition to his excitement, he asked where Henry was.

"You don't have to worry about me, I have my own way to get out."

Henry ignored Ted's concern and didn't intend to explain.

"If you don't come with us, where are you going and what are you doing?"

Ted sensed something was wrong with Henry's words, he had known Henry well after all this time.

"Don't ask, do my orders!"

Henry was visibly impatient with Ted's question, and after scolding Ted, he turned away to prevent Ted from seeing his expression.

Ted saw that Henry was a little angry, and he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only obey his orders.

As he was leaving, Ted looked at Henry's back and prayed for him in his heart.

Ted, who received Henry's order, hurriedly instructed the others to prepare for tomorrow's evacuation.

The three surviving soldiers under Henry's command, including the four ordinary people who were rescued, were very happy when they heard the news.

But for them to succeed in boarding the rescue helicopter, they have to go up to the top of the building, where the helicopter can land and take off.

There are still a few floors to climb from the second floor to the top of the building where Henry and the others are, and it is likely that they will face hordes of zombies during this time, so it will not be easy to successfully reach the roof.

If they want to get out of here alive, they have to fight for it. Fortunately, Henry gave almost all the weapons and ammunition to Ted and his party, and his purpose was to allow Ted and the others to catch up with the helicopter in time.

One o'clock in the afternoon,

Ted ate ate a bite with the people who were about to leave, took everything he needed to bring, and prepared to set off for the rooftop.

Henry also went to Ashley before Ted and the others left, helped her uncuff her, and asked if she wanted to leave with them.

To Henry's surprise, Ashley did not intend to leave, but to stay and find his uncle.

Henry had wanted to tell Ashley that her uncle had no hope of living, but he couldn't speak.

He also told Ashley that he was going to help Ted and the others remove the zombies so that they could reach the roof safely.

After listening to Henry's words, Ashley said that he would also go to help, and asked Henry to give him a gun.

Faced with Ashley's request, Henry hesitated.

He didn't know whether to give Ashley a gun or not, but Ashley looked at him with a resolute look.

Henry relented, he gave Ashley a semi-automatic pistol and intimately taught her how to use the gun and what to look out for.

With everything ready, they opened the door to the stairwell and walked in.

Sure enough, the upper floors were also filled with wandering zombies. However, the number is not much, and with the cooperation of everyone, all the zombies have been solved. Although there was a lot of danger, fortunately no one was bitten.

By the time they reached the roof, it was already evening. After everyone's deliberation, they decided to rest in place and wait for the helicopter to arrive.

Afternoon, September 15th.

Henry and his party rested on the roof of the building, while keeping an eye on the situation in the air.

An hour later, the roar of the helicopter echoed through the sky. A few minutes later, the rescue helicopter landed safely.

The door opened, and several heavily armed soldiers stepped down from above, and the man who walked in front asked who Henry was.

Henry heard someone call him, so he went to the soldier and gave a military salute. The man on the other side gave a military salute back, and then asked Henry who he was going to pick up.

Henry glanced back at Ted and the others, and motioned for them to be sent away.

The leading soldier did not speak either, and directly picked everyone up on the plane.

Before Ted gets on the plane, he tells Henry that he must come back alive and that he is still waiting to drink with Henry. Henry smiled rarely, and agreed.

The lead soldier whispered something in Henry's ear before getting on the plane, and then boarded the helicopter.

Henry nodded at the man and waved his hand to see them off.

I don't know when we will see each other again...

Wait until the plane fades away until you can't see the silhouette of the helicopter.

Henry reluctantly turned around and said to Ashley, "Let's go, let's go find your uncle!" ”。
