Chapter 51 Evacuation
In the morning light, when the first rays of sunlight passed through the ridge and scattered into the undulating Alps, Tang Liqing silently looked at this silent land in a high flat place outside the base, and her heart fluctuated.
Six hours had passed since the departure time of the other nine teams. As agreed, they were supposed to send her a message to tell her about the status of the teams.
The first message she received was sent by Xiang Zidan. Xiang Zidan told her that their team had entered another mountain forest and arrived at the intended location. Soon, other teams also sent messages one after another, and they all began to march to their intended destination relatively smoothly.
"Finally evacuated safely!" Tang Liqing breathed a sigh of relief and said to one of the guards beside her.
"Let's go to the base, Sister Tang!" The guard said, "It's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Tang Liqing smiled slightly, the word "cold" has not been heard for a long time. The temperature on Earth has remained high for a long time, and there is very little time to not sweat, and there is no need to worry about getting cold. Now I am worried about catching a cold, and it can be seen that the ecology of the earth has begun to be restored.
But what about people? The hard-working people of the earth, who could have learned a lesson, regained their strength, and cherished the opportunity for revival, were forced to die to find a way to survive when they encountered the Jonesians, who were also in a desperate situation but much stronger than the earthlings. Now these are the people, in the end, how many people will survive? It is not known whether these surviving people will be able to maintain the minimum biological requirements for reproduction.
She remembered Zhang Jingyi's worries the night before: "How do I think that this time the earthlings are in a catastrophe......"
Her heart trembled involuntarily.
"Sister Tang, let's go in!" The guards urged again. The guard had fled from the Martian base with her, and had been with her for years.
"I'm fine, Lan Lan!" She smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've been so idle, so let's stay here a little longer!" ”
"Sister Tang, are we really not leaving?" Seeing that Tang Liqing didn't want to go in, Lan Lan no longer urged, but sat down on a mountain rock next to her.
"Yes, we're not leaving!" Tang Liqing also sat down opposite Lan Lan: "I'm sorry, my decision may put our team to death!" ”
Tang Liqing knew that the Jones people must be watching here. While the rest of the team left after midnight, it's hard to say that the Jones wouldn't find out. If it's empty, the Jones will focus on the departing bands, and possibly even track them down.
So, she decided that her team would stay where she was, and after the other teams left, she had the base gates opened, and all the lights turned on, to attract the attention of the Jones.
She deliberately bluffed and acted out the empty city plan. It is precisely because of this intention that there are no children in the team she leads.
"It doesn't matter, Sister Tang, haven't we seen anything? Even if you give your life for this, if you can let others escape, it's worth it! Lan Lan said. She followed Tang Liqing all the way, experienced countless dangers, and was already used to it: "But I don't know if it's useful for us to do this!" ”
"Do your best, Lan Lan!" Whether it is useful or not, Tang Liqing can't judge. She knew that with the technological level of the Jones people, no matter how scheming the earthlings were, they could only hide it for a while, so she could only do this and say: "Tell everyone, we must also be ready to go at any time." The Alps are not small in scope, and there is room for manoeuvre. If the Jones attack us, we'll fight them here! ”
"Will the Jones come?"
"I don't know!" Tang Liqing said: "Let's wait here for a while, if they don't come, then we will start moving in the direction of the dungeon to support Elizabeth and Ouyang Xiaoyue." ”
"Okay!"
"In addition, I would like to tell you that although we only have less than 200 people now, we still have to hurry up repairing the facilities in the base and strive to produce the materials we need in a short time."
If the Jones aren't lucky enough to find out that most of the people here have been reduced to zero, then she hopes that the defense system will be restored to a certain level. In that case, if the Jones come to attack, they can hold out longer.
Unconsciously, five days have passed, the bombed-out gate of the base has been repaired, and several laser cannons have been laid out. Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi did not completely destroy this base at that time, and many things are not too difficult to recover.
"Alright, wait for the Jones to come!" Lan Lan said after reporting to Tang Liqing on the recovery of the base.
"Okay, everyone's worked hard, let's have a good rest!"
Lan Lan was very strange, she found that Tang Liqing was frowning and didn't dare to say anything more.
Tang Liqing couldn't help but worry, although the other nine teams had entered the predetermined area, Elizabeth and Ouyang Xiaoyue had no news and had never contacted her. Of course, she knew that it was likely that in order to conceal themselves, they deliberately kept silent, so as not to expose their targets. But five days have passed, and there is no news, which is too worrying.
It's not just Elizabeth, but also Xu Yunzhi and those earthlings who didn't run out, especially those children, how are they? What will the Jones do with them?
She couldn't sleep well, and she couldn't think about whether she should send someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, her communicator rang, and when she turned it on, it was Samantha!
"Hello, Major Tang!" Samantha said, "Don't come unharmed? ”
"Thanks to you, it's okay!" Tang Liqing held back the fire in her heart and politely agreed: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's nothing," Samantha seemed to be in a good mood listening to the voice: "I just want to ask, do you want to reconcile?" ”
"Reconciliation? How to reconcile? Tang Liqing tried her best to make her voice sound calm: "Do you think this is still possible, Governor Samantha?" ”
"Why can't it be?" Samantha said, "We don't really have any deep hatred between us, you just have to promise to all go back to the dungeon, and then we can sit down and talk?" ”
"Hehe, Samantha, Professor Xu is in your hands," Tang Liqing said with a smile: "If you really have the heart to reconcile, just talk to Professor Xu, why don't you come to me from near and far?" ”
"Professor Xu said that she is alone now, and the other members of your committee are not there, so she doesn't count."
"Oh! …… Okay, could you please let Professor Xu talk to me? ”
Samantha stopped talking. Tang Liqing waited patiently for a while and smiled: "Look! You Jones people are still hundreds of millions of years old civilized race, and you think that we are children and easy to deceive, right? ”
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you to talk to Professor Xu for the time being," Samantha said after a while, "I also want to tell you that your people are scattered in pieces, and we know very well. If we want to get them back, it's easy. It's just that we do want to reconcile, and we don't want to completely turn the other cheek. Think about it, Major Don! ”
"You threaten me?" Tang Liqing's heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She tried to restrain herself: "Samantha, don't push people too hard! ”
"I'm telling the truth, not forcing you," Samantha laughed, "Don't get excited, Major Tang!" What I can't figure out is that you would rather go into the mountains and jungles and live the life of primitive people than cooperate with us, isn't it stupid? ”
Tang Liqing gradually calmed down, and she suddenly felt that Samantha was actually very irritable, and she was pretending to be in a good mood. If her judgment is correct, then she must be in trouble!
Who caused them trouble?
"Samantha, are you in a bad mood?" Tang Liqing decided to test it: "My feeling, you don't seem to have thought about what to say when you come to me today, it sounds like you want to dispel the troubles in your heart, so you want to find someone to humiliate and vent your anger, right?" ”
Samantha was silent.
"Otherwise," Tang Liqing said with a smile: "I know that we earthlings are stubborn and always believe that 'if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different,' so even if it falls into your hands, no one will cooperate with you, right!" You might as well tell me what trouble you are encountering, and I will give you an idea, what do you think? ”
The intercom was cut off from that end.
Tang Liqing threw down the intercom and wiped her cold sweat. Lan Lan, who didn't dare to take a sip on the side just now, hurriedly brought a large glass of water. Tang Liqing tilted her neck and drank it in one go.
"Quick! Hurry up and contact the other teams," After drinking the water, Tang Liqing threw away the cup and said to Lan Lan: "Tell them, turn off the communicator, move quickly, and find a new hidden location." Once you've found it, settle down, and don't contact us again, and don't contact each other! ”
"Why, Sister Tang?" Lan Lan was puzzled. There is a reason for her incomprehension, more than 2,000 earthlings who ran out have scattered all over the world, if they are not connected with each other, it is equivalent to a kite with a broken string, what will happen in the future!
"Your worries, I know, once we lose contact, we will really become the primitive tribes in charge of each other!" Tang Liqing said: "But now it is important to save your life!" Our communicators are all controlled by the underground control system via geosynchronous satellites. Now that the dungeon is in the hands of the Jones, as long as we are still using the current communicator, the Jonesians can fully control every move of all of us. Therefore, the current communicator must be abandoned and fight separately for the time being! ”
"Okay, I'll let you know right away!" Lan Lan listened to Tang Liqing's explanation, and felt chills all over her body: "It's so dangerous......"
"But we don't have to shut down, let the Jones people come to us!" Tang Liqing added: "In addition, ask our people if there are people who are proficient in communication equipment, repair the communication equipment in the base, and see if it is possible to use the equipment here to make our own communication tools!" ”
"Okay, I'll go!"
Seeing Lan Lan running in a hurry, Tang Liqing was secretly glad that she was also a little self-blaming. Samantha didn't look for Zhang Jingyi, didn't look for Xiang Zidan, but found her very accurately Tang Liqing, and she must have known that she had not left the Alpine base. From this, you can think that they know very well what they are doing to the earthlings and who is where.
Fortunately, I suddenly realized this potential danger and made amends.
