Time: The Frontier Regiment exercised for 24 days, 60 kilometers outside the target area of the exercise. This is the first platoon of the sixth company of the second battalion that disappeared during the exercise, and it is also the first platoon of the reconnaissance company of the regimental headquarters.

Company Commander Ge Lianchen, with messy clothes and an arm hanging from dust, was throwing a rough tantrum: "Zhang Erdan, how do you have your eyes?" Yes? Bring all the brothers to this broken ravine. Didn't you see a landslide blocking the road? Yes? What do you eat with long eyes? Along the way, it's bad enough to bump into those things that aren't human or ghost. You're telling me you're lost. What's the matter, if the compass doesn't work, you're blind? Dark? ”

"Zhang Erdan, let me tell you, before the sun sets today, and those dog-day ghosts get up, if you can't find the way again, I will feed you to the mountain bear!"

The scolded soldier was also covered in dirt, and his face was black and white. Zhang Erdan was sweating, he was a special recruit in the class, and the reason for the special recruitment was that he was skilled in survival skills in the wild. What a six-star locator, what daylight positioning, what compass positioning, he usually says a set. Ge Lianchen also values this Zhang Erdan, and every time he leads the reconnaissance company in the dense forest. The dense forest was quickly interspersed, and the terrain and the details of the enemy were miraculously figured out.

But this time, Zhang Erdan didn't work, and he didn't even know where the sun went during the day. Moreover, I don't know if it's a coincidence, there are several kilometers of nearby radius, geomagnetic disorder, and the compass is pointing to the ground, which makes Zhang Erdanqian donkey skills poor and completely messed up. The positioning knowledge he learned was completely useless here, so he had to look black with his eyes, and guide the direction by feeling, and he didn't know if it was luck or what, he rushed into a village full of crazy corpses in front, and the company quickly lined up to fight with the group of crazy corpses, and finally slaughtered hundreds of crazy corpses, in exchange for Ge Lianchen's sad face and half of the company's attrition.

Hundreds of mad corpses are not afraid of death and are not humanoid, and they are chasing and biting a few living people when they go. Seeing Ge Lianchen's eyes cracked, his brain was hot at the moment, and he ordered the company to spread out on the spot, and set up a machine gun to directly aim at the mad corpse. It's a pity that the crazy corpse is not a chicken, cow, sheep and beast, not only was it not killed by the dense firepower and fled in all directions, but it was surrounded by death, and what was more dangerous was that the crazy corpse that came out of nowhere behind it was killed into the company, and the short soldiers were connected, and Ge Lianchen immediately took the communication squad to kill the enemy. Anyway, there was no use for the communication class, so Ge Lianchen asked them to equip them with rifles and go into battle to fight.

Most of the soldiers who died died in the back, and no matter how many bullets they had, the mad corpses threw themselves down and tore and devoured them on the spot, until they were shot and killed. As a result, few of the people who survived were caught by the mad corpse, and Ge Lianchen was also injured because of this, and a large piece of flesh was bitten off his arm by a mad corpse before he died. After killing all the crazy corpses here, Ge Lianchen looked at the corpses and flesh all over the ground.

When he heard the number of casualties, the communications soldier next to him trembled at the sight of his cheeks. More than 20 heroes disappeared in this way. It was raining in the sky and the temperature plummeted, Ge Lianchen looked at the dead village in front of him with an ugly face, and tightened the newly issued camouflage combat uniform on his body (the people of the company called it: camouflage windbreaker, and it was handsome and tight to wear), so he could only let the troops enter the village, rest in place, and search for survivors while burying the corpses.

The remaining dozen or so people packed up their things and searched the village for some food to cook. They found a child who had been stuffed in a hole in the stove, naked, with a black mouth full of smoke and red eyes, and he bit at sight. Everyone hurriedly subdued, only then did they find out what kind of child this is, the mouth is split into four petals, and the mouth is full of barbs, as if it is a monster that wants to choose people to devour.

In the evening, a wave of doomsday rumors quickly spread among the remaining dozen or so people in the platoon, some people said that this village was connected to hell, and those who lived in it would become monsters, and some people said that those who had no resistance to the mysterious virus infection would be recruited, and the newly arrived sealed combat suits of their troops were anti-virus equipment. Some say it's an alien invasion and so on ... The crowd gossiped, but also told some truths. Ge Lianchen didn't scold them, he muttered to himself after seeing the hellish scene during the day. He couldn't help but start to be anxious in his heart, and wanted to join the regiment headquarters as soon as possible. Lost this half of the platoon for no reason, and he still had to think about how to make this report when he went back, and he couldn't keep his position. If not, he will be tried by a military court and sentenced to prison.

It's just that he didn't know that his separation from the regiment headquarters had become an eternal secret.

More than twenty days later, they stumbled in the mountains and lost their way completely. After passing through a small village of dozens of people, they did not dare to enter the village again after paying the price of 8 people and exterminating all the wild corpses in it. Ge Lianchen led the company to wander around in the wilderness, and after they were amazed to witness all the grass and trees on the mountains and fields die within a few days, a rain made them see one small bush after another that bubbled up wildly, and the appearance of the mountains was changing visibly with the naked eye day by day. This made the dozen or so people who had already lost some sense of direction even more at a loss.

They ran out of food, almost bottomed out of ammunition, and did not dare to approach populated areas. They can only hunt in the mountains and wilderness, until recently, they found that the animals have also begun to change greatly, many of the usually more timid animals began to be aggressive, during a hunt for a red pig, after the sacrifice of two warriors, they even hunted animals to take full action to eat a full meal, the new plants did not verify their toxicity, no one dared to pick wild vegetables with experience, fortunately, most of the insects that feed on plants have also begun to die in large numbers because of the large number of withering and replacement of plants. Otherwise, it is estimated that the insects in the mountains and fields will be enough for them to be wiped out.

And at this time, something even more panicked happened, just under their noses, a soldier frantically tore off his combat uniform one day, and everyone found that the warrior's whole body had dried up, and the bones grew abnormally, and some bones pierced out of the skin, becoming twisted and weird. When the soldier rushed towards Ge Lianchen with red eyes and roaring, he was shot by a communications soldier next to him with a gun. There were seven people left, and they gathered in silence and began to guard against each other.

On this day, just after reprimanding Zhang Erdan in the cave, the other three soldiers stood up with guns, they looked at each other silently, and said to Ge Lianchen: "Commander Ge, there are only a few of us left, everyone is crawling together, lost, no food, no communication, San'er has mutated, and was shot in front of us yesterday." Now, instead of guarding against each other, we might as well just divide things up and break up. ”

"What do you say? Are you trying to defect? Want to be a deserter? Ge Lianchen stared at the three of them expressionlessly, picked up the "Dongxing" pistol on his waist (the Dongguo officer was equipped with a pistol), these three people couldn't look good, they also picked up the rifle in their hands, and said while loading, "Platoon Commander Ge, I know you are a good platoon leader." He took the lead and led us to complete difficult tasks several times. I have been injured for my brothers and have carried the pot. Otherwise you're not a platoon leader now. However, everyone has their own aspirations, and we have been missing for more than 20 days, and when we wandered around this mountainous area, all 42 people in the platoon also died, and only a few of us remained. We have to guard against each other and wait for death. One of them said, "yes, we don't want to die, and I don't want to be a monster and die at the hands of my brother." "Ge Pai, you just let us go, at least we can find our own way to kill ourselves outside." There are only a few of us left in the company, and our platoon is long gone... ”

Ge Lianchen pinched the handle of the gun in his palm until it turned white, and after a long time, he was finally deflated. The gun was retracted from the holster.

"Let's go, if any of you still want to go, let's go together. Zhang Erdan, you go and divide the ammunition and materials into seven parts, everyone who wants to leave, get one by yourself, hurry up! ”

After saying this, Ge Lianchen sat on the stone as if he had lost the strength of his whole body, spread his body diagonally, and added: "The first platoon will be disbanded from today, and I will no longer be your platoon leader." ”

Seeing this, the three of them silently put away their guns, and silently followed Zhang Erdan to get their share of guns and jerky. He silently glanced back at Ge Lianchen again, raised his hand over his head, and silently gave Ge Lianchen a military salute. Ge Lianchen closed his eyes and waved his hand. turned his head over, but secretly wiped his tears.

The remaining two people, among them are Zhang Erdan. Zhang Erdan stepped forward and asked, "Ge Pai, what should we do next?" ”

"Don't call me platoon leader, there is no more platoon. Tell me if you have any unfulfilled wishes. I see, sooner or later, the brothers will meet below. Now it can be achieved that one counts as one. Ge Lianchen felt a faint pain in his wound and said weakly.

"Ge Pai, it's the end of the world, I want to go home and see my wife. My father died early, and my mother and sister are at home. Last year, my mother's body was not good, and my sister was taking care of it. The rest of the time, I want to go back to my hometown. Zhang Erdan looked at the mouth of the cave and said. Platoon commander, I want to go home and have a look. Another fighter also said.

Ge Lianchen smiled bitterly, who doesn't want to go home to see, but he looked at this increasingly dense forest. Soon, I thought, they would be completely lost in this vast jungle. The vegetation here changes almost every day, with lakes popping up in some places, and canyons and ravines covered by vegetation, and the landscape is completely changed, and the map is almost indistinguishable.

The three of them waited until dawn, and the gray mist flowed like a liquid through the trees. The three of them supported each other and walked out from under the collapsed canyon.

"Platoon commander, you see there is a road!" Zhang Erdan climbed high and looked into the distance, and a road winded out of the mountain side in front of him, although it had been cut into pieces by weeds and tree roots. But I can vaguely tell that this is a highway. Several people ran excitedly towards the highway. It's really a highway, and the three of them can't hide the excitement in their hearts when they step on the road. This means that they can always get out of the mountains and back to the city, and maybe find a way to find the troops. Ge Lianchen and the three of them were walking on the road, and Zhang Erdan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, sniffed carefully, "Strange, platoon leader, how can there be a smell of blood." ”

Ge Erdan and the three of them stopped, because they saw that the road in front of them, which was less than four meters wide, had collapsed in half, and there were blood stains splashing everywhere on the colorful weeds on the side of the road, but they didn't see the corpse. They searched for a badly deformed standard rifle nearby, with bullets and empty shells scattered around it, and Ge Lianchen remembered the three people who had left in the middle of the night.

Ge Lianchen touched the blackened blood stains on the ground, and became vigilant in his heart. There are only traces of the battle and no corpses, indicating that someone was wounded or completely wiped out. It's just that no one noticed that the bloodshot eyes of the other warrior were getting redder and redder, and the roar that belonged to the beast gradually came from his throat irritated by the smell of blood around him.

Ge Lianchen and the three of them walked vigilantly on the main road, facing the strange battle scene they had seen before. Their minds are full of a sense of crisis. Their water had already been drunk, and in the morning, Zhang Erdan had already bottomed out by collecting some dew from a kettle. As he walked, he heard a thud, and the other warrior fell. Ge Lianchen, who was walking in front, looked back and happened to see Zhang Erdan going over to help. At this time, the fallen warrior was prostrate on the ground, his eyes glowing bloodthirsty.

Zhang Erdan was stunned like this, and was instantly thrown to the ground. Ge Lianchen hurriedly took out his pistol, aiming at the mutated warrior and looking at the mutant warrior who was scuffling with Zhang Erdan, he was not sure that he had been hesitant to shoot.

At this time, Zhang Erdan hugged the mutant soldier's head with his hand, held it high, and shouted in his mouth: "Platoon commander, shoot!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley, and Zhang Erdan and the mutant fell together, not moving. It took a long time for Zhang Erdan to slowly turn over from the corpse, and Ge Lianchen breathed a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to have a premonition that he had made a wrong decision to shoot.

I don't know when, the surrounding fog seems to have stagnated, and the silent fog brings a heavier depression. Ge Lianchen felt more and more uncomfortable, and he clenched the steel gun in his hand.

"Platoon commander, I feel like we're in big trouble... Zhang Erdan turned around and said to Ge Lianchen with a sad face...
