Volume 2 The Frontline Chapter 61 Graduation Assessment (9)
The rain fell suddenly, clattering over the night of the Outlands.
The battlefield, which had only been quiet for a short time, was filled with the dense ticking sound of rain hitting the leaves and the flat ground.
By this time, the defensive covers of the 8th and 9th districts had been closed, and the military was preparing for a search and rescue operation. The target of the search and rescue was the missing soldiers who had been sent to District 10.
Although the mission was nominally a search and rescue, the soldiers at the scene actually knew in their hearts that it was unlikely that the missing comrades would survive......
As everyone knows, Sector 10 has been ravaged by tens of thousands of orc legions before, and at the same time has been purged by human artillery fire, in this case, the chances of the soldiers surviving are slim.
Now they have gone to search and rescue, and the only thing they can do is to return the bodies and relics of their comrades-in-arms to the cover and take them home for burial.
At this time, although the beast tide receded, there were still many beast soldiers lingering in the wilderness, at least more than usual, which made it more difficult for the soldiers to move. In particular, the heavy rain that had just fallen made the night even darker and more dangerous.
After arranging the search and rescue area, the soldiers began to disperse in the vast field despite the heavy rain.
And Ling Hai, as early as when the military was lining up to assign tasks, secretly infiltrated the temporary warehouse, packed grenades with tactical backpacks, carried a heavy machine gun, and went to the tenth district first.
On the way, Ling Hai kept silently reciting two words in his heart.
"Wait for me!"
Although there was already a voice in his heart telling Ling Hai that Liu Song could not be alive, Ling Hai was still paranoid that Liu Song must still be alive and waited for him to find him.
The more he felt that he would never be able to see Liu Song again, the stronger Ling Hai's paranoia became, because he was unwilling to accept the fact that he might lose his best friend forever.
At this moment, the scenes of the two getting along before kept flashing in Ling Hai's mind, and the sense of guilt and powerlessness shattered Ling Hai's reason, making him rush into the night without hesitation.
"How old a person is, and crying nose. No, half of the bread will be divided into you, don't cry. ”
"Why are you here again? Don't you want to go to school, so do I, school is really boring......"
"You don't have friends, and I don't have friends, so let's make friends! You don't like to talk, I like to talk, and our combination is a good fit. ”
"My parents? I don't have parents, I'm an orphan......"
"Haizi, did you see that? It's great that we were still in a class in high school. ”
"Haizi, why are you so fierce! The results rushed to the first place in the age at once! Haha, Niu Pi, my homework will depend on you in the future. ”
"Give up, give up! Haizi, don't bother tutoring me anymore, I really can't read books. Reading this kind of thing, one of the two of us is good enough, and I cover you in other aspects, as long as you remember to wait for you to soar in the future, take me to eat and drink spicy. ”
"I found out about the elite class of the School of Biology of Jingbei University...... If you like biology so much, you must sign up......"
"Got it, see you later!"
……
Ling Hai recalled, tears involuntarily overflowing from his eyes.
Liu Song, who grew up in an orphanage, is only in his early eighteen, and he has not really experienced the wonders of this world. Ling Hai knew that Liu Song's life in the past eighteen years was actually very dark, but Liu Song had always covered up his loneliness with an optimistic attitude.
Liu Song looks cynical, but in fact, in terms of learning, Liu Song didn't want to break the jar at first, but there is no relative in this world who can affirm his efforts, so Liu Song became indifferent to his future.
People who work hard but don't get feedback are hard to keep going. Unlike Ling Hai, if you do well in the exam, you will be praised by your mother, and if you do poorly, you will be encouraged by your mother, and it has the meaning of persevering.
Friendship is only friendship after all, and it is impossible to completely replace family affection.
Ling Hai never said it explicitly, but he always felt sorry for Liu Song's situation.
Perhaps, on this ordinary night for many people, Ling Hai is the only one in this world who is worried about Liu Song's life.
If Ling Hai didn't look for it, Liu Song's last hope of surviving might be gone.
This is the reason why Ling Hai risked his danger and came out in advance to find Liu Song.
Withdraw your chaotic thoughts and quickly wipe away your tears.
Ling Hai put on his see-through thermal glasses again, and ran quickly in the wilderness, as long as there was red heat in his eyes, whether it was a human or a beast soldier, Ling Hai would rush over to confirm.
The sound of artillery fire sounded again in the rainy night, but because this time it was only a one-man battle, the sound did not travel far under the suppression of the rain.
Every time he cleared the small wave of beast soldiers blocking the road, Ling Hai would roar and call Liu Song's name.
Unfortunately, after searching for more than an hour, Ling Hai still didn't get the response he expected.
……
Somewhere in District 10, the rain washed over a pile of corpses made of more than a dozen one-horned heads, and streams of blood soaked into the fluffy ground along the cracks of the corpses.
In the pit beneath the pile of corpses, there was a man.
After the rain, the blood compacted the fluffy dirt, depriving the person of the oxygen he could breathe completely, but when the cold blood ran down his cheeks, the person unexpectedly woke up from a coma.
"I'm alive."
This was Liu Song's first thought after waking up.
After experiencing the beast tide and artillery fire, Liu Song was very surprised and surprised that he could survive.
But not long after the surprise, Liu Song's heart sank. He found that he was now powerless to crawl out of the pits and corpses, and struggling out of the dirt to make room to breathe was already the limit of what he could do at the moment.
At this moment, except for his head, he has no sensation in other parts. Even his head, because of the fact that he had turned on the berserk state and his body was weak, was like a candle in the wind at the moment, and he was in danger of losing consciousness again at any time.
Liu Song remembered that before he fell unconscious, he had been pierced through his abdomen by a single horn, which may be the reason why he was so weak at the moment.
Perhaps, he still can't escape death.
Liu Song had to think pessimistically.
The feeling of dying is not good, as if he has been abandoned by the world, but fortunately, Liu Song has adapted to this feeling of abandonment, so that he will not be completely desperate and crazy at this moment.
There was no violent artillery fire in his ears, indicating that the beast tide might have ended, and Liu Song could only hope that his body could be found by the search and rescue soldiers before it was completely cold.
This is Liu Song's only hope to persist and live.
……
Ling Hai was the first to come out to search and rescue, so the number of beast soldiers he encountered was far greater than he expected.
At this moment, the grenades in Ling Hai's backpack had been exhausted, and the heavy machine gun had already been abandoned by Ling Hai halfway.
Now, the weapon in Ling Hai's hand was only a military blade.
Without long-range weapons, Ling Hai now encounters orcs and can only run away from them many times, which makes his search route even more complicated.
There were many areas where Ling Hai couldn't go and search, so he could only pray that Liu Song wouldn't happen to be in those places.
During the search, the navigator suddenly went out, and Ling Hai checked and found that the navigator was out of power.
The heart was hit hard again, Ling Hai stopped, looked blankly at the rain curtain around him, and began to feel hopeless.
On a rainy night without navigation, the search will be extremely difficult. Without directions, it was possible for Ling Hai to wander around in one place all night, let alone go to find Liu Song.
What to do?
Just when Ling Hai was in a trance, the beast soldiers who had been chasing after him before surrounded Ling Hai.
