Chapter 157: Return to Base

The rain was still falling, in a factory at the junction of the industrial area and the residential area, at this time Song Lian and his team members took off all their raincoats and sat on the ground of the factory, panting for breath

"Hahu..... Hahu......."

He carried nearly 100 pounds of weight, and he had to take turns to hold the backpacks and equipment of more than 200 pounds added up to the two team members, and ran for a long time, Song Lian and all of them were exhausted, wet with sweat, and they didn't even have the strength to speak, and some of the team members were so tired that they lay on the ground directly

"Gollum" Song Lian took a sip of water, gasped for a while, and then took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket until he felt a little stronger, "I'm Song Lian, I'm Song Lian, and the others answered immediately when they received it"

In a community, the lone team member heard the voice and immediately took out the walkie-talkie, "Brother Song, I'm Lijia"

Under a fence on the street, hearing Song Lian's call, Xiao Qi immediately raised his hand to ask everyone to stop, and then picked up the walkie-talkie, "Brother Song, I'm Xiao Qi, what's the instructions?"

In the factory, hearing the answers of the two, Song Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are you?" ”

The lone team member named Lijia looked around vigilantly while walking along the green area of the community in a hidden way, "Brother Song, I am in the Qingshihua community, and I am now rushing to the industrial area, and I can reach the predetermined area in about an hour."

Since there are too many people in the team now, in order to ensure smooth communication among all the team members, all the communication channels are the same, which means that no matter which team member speaks, the other team members can hear it

Under the wall, Xiao Qi looked around, "Brother Song, we can reach the predetermined location in about half an hour"

Hearing the report of the two, Song Lian sat on the ground and estimated the approximate location of the team member and Xiao Qi, and then said, "The assembly site has changed, the latest assembly place is in the Lingguang Accessories Factory three hundred meters west of the original factory, there is a bus stop sign at the factory gate, and there is a small gas station opposite, you come over as soon as possible, I will wait for you here"

With so many people going out, especially in such a dangerous city, it is natural to make a retreat plan and pre-set a place to assemble, so that when everyone is separated in danger, they can find their companions as quickly as possible in extreme cases

Hearing that Song Lian suddenly changed the scheduled assembly position, Xiao Qi and Lijia thought about it, then understood, and picked up the walkie-talkie one after another

"Received"

"Yes"

Then the two of them didn't talk nonsense, Liga put away the walkie-talkie and immediately ran to the south of the community, while Xiao Qi put away the walkie-talkie and looked around, waved his hand and led the team members along the fence to the community in front

In the factory, after resting for a while, when everyone had recovered their strength, Song Lian pointed to Du Mingzhong and another team member, "Du Mingzhong, you two go outside to be on guard, by the way, pay attention to the outside, the other team members are rushing here"

The necessary vigilance work at any time is a must, and it was really weak before, so Song Lian asked them to rest and take a breath first, but now that the qi has returned, the vigilance work must be done

"Got it"

"Brother Song right away"

Although Du Mingzhong and another team member are still very tired, they naturally dare not disobey Song Lian's order, and the two dragged their tired bodies to stand up with raincoats and put on the raincoats, and then picked up their rifles and walked to the door

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the base, at this time, Li Kong and his team members were patrolling near the gate of the factory, and at this moment, a roar appeared

"Buzz ......"

That voice Li Kong was too familiar, it was the throttle sound made when the truck was driving, Li Kong and the two team members next to him immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate, Li Kong rolled his eyes and then took the team members to pick up the rifle and rushed towards the gate

On the street, when a huge convoy of three vans, a heavy truck, two pickup trucks and two off-road vehicles drove near the base, the leading heavy truck turned right directly at the intersection and drove the convoy to the gate

At this time, Li Kong just ran to the door and saw the convoy coming towards him, when the three of them appeared at the door, the co-pilot of the leading heavy truck stretched out a hand to give a thumbs up, and saw the Qianqianyu hand and the lady's sleeve exposed in the raincoat, Li Kong immediately understood that it was Xie Zhixin and they came back

"Hurry up and open the door, it's the eldest lady who is back," and then Li Kong and the two team members immediately put away their rifles to unlock and open the door

When the door opened, the three of them immediately ran to both sides of the door, and after the leading heavy truck drove in, Li Kong and another team member who were standing on both sides immediately stood up straight, and Xie Zhixin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, nodded to Li Kong and another team member as a greeting, and then the car kept driving directly to the factory

"Buzz ....."

In the factory, everyone was busy with their work at this time, and when they heard the sound of the vehicle, they immediately looked up at the door, at this time, a heavy truck drove in from the outside, and everyone reacted quickly

"They're back"

"They're back"

"Boss ....."

Soon Fan Hu, who heard the shouting, appeared at the door of the room on the second floor, and when he saw the trucks driving in, Fan Hu immediately ran to the stairs

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

At this time, all the idle team members in their hands ran over, the leader was of course Fan Hu, and after the endless convoy drove into the factory, they scattered to find a place to stop, and after the car was parked, everyone immediately surrounded it

Xie Zhixin in the car had already seen Fan Hu, and as soon as he opened the car door, Xie Zhixin jumped out of the car directly and ran happily in front of Fan Hu, "Brother, I'm back"

"Hello Miss"

"Lady is so ....."

At this time, those team members bowed their heads to Xie Zhixin to say hello, and Xie Zhixin nodded slightly in response

"How's it going, is it going well? Injured or not? Fan Hu looked Xie Zhixin up and down carefully

Seeing that Fan Hu cared about himself so much, Xie Zhixin was very happy and turned around, "It's okay!" Rest assured, the action went smoothly"

"Hmmm! That's good," Hearing Xie Zhixin say this, Fan Hu finally put his mind at ease

At this time, the first team members to get off the car did not greet the teammates who surrounded them after getting off the car, but consciously walked behind Xie Zhixin to greet Fan Hu

"Boss"

"Boss ......"

"Hmmm! You have worked hard" Fan Hu smiled and nodded slightly to these team members, and then looked at Xie Zhixin, "Zhixin, how are the casualties, how are the gains?"

While the two were talking, other team members who were a little slower gathered behind Xie Zhixin under the leadership of the other two team leaders

Xie Zhixin glanced at the team members behind him, then turned his head to look at Fan Hu, with a hint of heaviness on his face, "A total of seven people were sacrificed in this operation, including five people in the clean-up operation, two people in the search mission, three vans, one heavy truck, two pickup trucks, two off-road, eight barrels of gasoline, and some other food, bedding and other materials."

The team members around the conversation between the two could hear it clearly, and when they heard that nearly a third of the people were sacrificed in a mission, those team members were all silent, and the team members behind Xie Zhixin who were on a mission and watched their teammates sacrifice showed a trace of sadness

"Boss, I'm sorry, it's me who can't lead it" At this time, Xie Feiyuan, the member of the team who was responsible for leading the team, suddenly knelt down

Seeing Xie Feiyuan kneeling, Liang Qiu, another team leader, glanced at Fan Hu and then immediately knelt down, "Boss, I'm sorry, it's my dereliction of duty, please punish"

Seeing the two of them pleading, the other team members, especially the old team members who were most familiar with the two, looked at Fan Hu one after another, and all of them were a little worried about losing so many people at one time, especially Xie Feiyuan and Liang Qiu, who were even more nervous

Looking at the expressions and gazes of those team members, Fan Hu turned his gaze to Xie Feiyuan and Liang Qiu, revealing a gentle expression: "You guys get up!" I know you've done your best, you're right, don't kneel down at every turn in the future, it's not ancient times, get up quickly"

Hearing Fan Hu's words, Xie Feiyuan and Liang Qiu looked up at Fan Hu, and saw that Fan Hu had no intention of punishing, so the two glanced at each other, and then quickly stood up

"Thank you, Boss"

"Thank you, Boss"

"Brother" Xie Zhixin opened her mouth at this time, she looked at the two team leaders and those team members behind her, and then looked at Fan Hu, "Brother, they all did a good job in this operation and should be rewarded"

This time, Xie Zhixin personally led the team and witnessed the hardships and dedication of the team members, among which so many people were sacrificed, she naturally could not be indifferent

"I know," Fan Hu smiled and touched Xie Zhixin's head

As the best to know Xie Zhi

Xin's people know Xie Zhixin's character Fan Hu very well, don't look at Xie Zhixin so young, but at the same time he has a maturity that far exceeds that of ordinary adults and the sympathy of children

Fan Hu looked at the team members behind Xie Zhixin, at this time those team members didn't even have time to take off their raincoats, the raincoats on all of them were covered with mud and water after two days of action, their shoes were completely soaked, and their dirty faces were full of exhaustion, which showed how hard and dangerous their outing was this time

"You have all done a good job in this mission" Looking at the more than 20 team members, Fan Hu loudly announced to everyone, "Tonight, all the team members who go out on the mission will have unlimited dinner, plus half a catty of bacon per person"

As the boss of a team, although Fan Hu has no culture, he also knows that rewards and punishments are clear, and there are rewards for winning battles in the army, these team members take risks to perform tasks and bring back so many things, rewards must be necessary, so even if Xie Zhixin doesn't say that Fan Hu has to treat them, of course, Xie Zhixin is the best to open his mouth, after all, as the captain, those team members will be grateful to her after Xie Zhixin speaks, and it will be better to lead people in the future

In this year, life and death are commonplace, and in this environment where death is likely to occur in the next second, everyone lives every day with the mentality that they can live one day at a time, so as soon as they heard that Fan Hu actually rewarded them with unlimited rice white and half a catty of bacon, the haze on the faces of the more than 20 team members was suddenly swept away, and they quickly bowed and thanked them excitedly

"Thank you, Boss"

"Thank you, Boss......"

"Thank you......"

In the team, everyone, except for Fan Hu and a few of them, unless the others are out on a mission, the amount of food for each meal is fixed, one bowl of rice per person, calculated according to the size of the bowl, about two taels per person, two taels of rice, in peacetime many people can't eat enough, let alone now, those team members can only feel hungry after eating at most, and it is impossible to eat openly, so I heard that the rice is not available in unlimited quantities, plus half a catty of bacon, Those team members couldn't help but swallow their saliva and looked at the more than 20 team members with envy, and at the same time, they looked at Fan Hu with a look of eagerness on their faces

As the saying goes: people die for money, birds die for food, people who have not experienced overall starvation do not know the preciousness of food at all, seeing the fiery eyes of those team members around him, Fan Hu smiled slightly, "Okay, you have all worked hard, leave the rest to others"

Fan Hu looked at Xie Zhixin and raised her chin towards the team members behind her, "Zhixin, take them down to wash up and then rest, and by the way, tell you Sister Wang Lin and Sister Ning'er, and let them prepare the bacon for the team members at night."

Then Fan Hu looked at a team member beside him, "Huang Feng, you take someone to count and register all the materials and move them into the warehouse."

"It's the boss," Huang Feng nodded

"Got it, brother," then Xie Zhixin turned to look at the team members behind him, "Everyone is disbanded on the spot"

"Yes........"

The team members immediately dispersed and rushed into the crowd

"You guys come with me" Huang Feng ordered a dozen people, and then led them towards the car

"Haha! Big head, I miss you"

"Lao Chen, unlimited meals at night, and meat to eat, I envy you to death"

"Haha! That is, I want to eat a full meal at night, don't worry, I will share it with you"

"Hahaha! Okay, you know you haven't forgotten me."

"What are you going to do at night?"

After two days of not seeing each other, the team members who returned from the mission were like the rest of their lives, hugging or climbing on their shoulders and chatting happily with their companions, and then walked to the dormitory surrounded by their companions

Looking at the chaotic team members, Fan Hu shook his head with a smile, then looked at Xie Zhixin and touched her head, "Zhixin, you go and rest first!" ”

"Hmm!" Xie Zhixin nodded, then took off the raincoat, and then a team member immediately walked over, Xie Zhixin handed the raincoat to the team member and looked at Fan Hu, "Brother, let's go"

"Hmmm! Go ahead," Fan Hu nodded

The tired Xie Zhixin waved his hand at Fan Hu and turned around and walked towards the dormitory

After Xie Zhixin left, Fan Hu turned his head to look at the team members who were busy moving things and checking the vehicles in the car, and then walked towards them with the remaining team members behind him
