ACT279: Initiation

Fiery Cross Reef, convalescent ward.

Song Jiu was lying on his back on the side of the window bed, the window was wide open, and one arm was poking out, and the smoke was erratic. Taking advantage of the footsteps in the corridor before they approached, he hurried to get over his addiction to smoking, pinching the cigarette butt that turned into a rocket and rubbing it out outside the wall, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the cigarette butt fell into the green belt downstairs and disappeared without a trace.

"Alright, it's me." Fang Fei leaned against the door, looked helpless, closed the door with his backhand, and said, "I didn't think you were so addicted to smoking before." ”

"I'm going crazy here." Song Jiu sat back on the bed and pointed to the hospital gown with a faint smell of disinfectant on his body: "See?" I am now a patient and need appropriate ways to relieve anxiety. ”

Fang Fei glanced at him and said angrily: "I really don't see where you are anxious...... Don't talk nonsense, let's be serious, how are you feeling these days? ”

"I don't feel anything." Song Jiu yawned and sighed: "The doctor took turns to chat with me, or let me take medicine, it's been a few days, and I haven't said how to solve my problem." ”

"It doesn't look any different." Fang Fei was also very curious about this, she had never seen Song Jiu when she was sick, and her speech and demeanor during the day were no different from usual.

The two of them gossiped a few words, and after a while, the ward round nurse came in, left some medicine according to the dose, asked briefly about the situation, and left in a hurry with a blank face.

"Eat so much every day?" Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, the nurse poured out dozens of pills from the bottles and jars, and she was unappetizing when she looked at it.

Song Jiu laughed dryly, and said helplessly: "It's time to eat sugar." By the way, any news? ”

"Yes." Fang Fei regained his normal color, got up and plugged in the door latch, and said in a low voice, "That's what I came to tell you today...... The transfer has already begun. ”

"Huh?" Song Jiu was stunned and wondered: "So fast? ”

"I also just knew, I went back in the morning, and Lao Wu had already set off, and it seemed that he was the first batch to transfer with the ship."

"Going? What did Lao Wu say? Song Jiu was shocked when he heard this.

"I didn't say it, I just asked about you." Fang Fei poured him a glass of water, helped sort the pills, and said, "What your sister means is to go with the boat first, and the rest of the people will stay and wait for you." ”

"Where's Megumi?"

"I don't know, we don't have the initiative now, we mainly transfer materials and equipment in the early stage, go to the island first, wait for the logistics to be assembled, and then land directly. Lao Wu asked us not to rush and wait for news. Fang Fei has been running back and forth on both sides in the past few days, responsible for delivering news, and has learned a lot of things, but there are also more questions, especially the transfer of this matter, the more I think about it, the more strange I feel.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Fei couldn't help but ask, "What do you and Lao Wu think?" I don't understand. ”

"What don't you understand?"

"Why the rush to land? Obviously, we have antibodies, so why don't we set up a laboratory on the spot and wait until the antibody vaccine is developed before we take action? Also, we have already provided antibodies, so why bother wading through the muddy waters? Qian Qian said that Yao Jinsong is a complete war maniac, people have soldiers and guns, let them toss if they love tossing, what are we going to do with them? ”

"Didn't Yao Jinsong agree to build a laboratory?" Song Jiu's eyes were a little hesitant, and he frowned and asked: "There is a wind and solar power generation system on our island, and the laboratory is set up there, of course our people have to stay, who said that they would follow back to the land to work hard?" ”

"That's what Lao Wu said." Fang Fei's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Old Wu didn't tell you?" ”

"You've been in charge of delivering information these days, how do I know?" Song Jiu shrugged his shoulders, and he also looked strange, compared to the establishment, their team is completely negligible, the most important bargaining chip is only antibodies, and the agreement reached between the two sides is clearly to provide antibodies for vaccine development, and there is no additional Lazhuangding.

“……”

"What's the situation now? Our people are already on their way? Song Jiu faintly felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "What about my sister's friend?" See or no? ”

"Lao Wu has already left with the first fleet, and everyone else is here." Fang Fei froze and said, "Did you miss something?" ”

"I have to go back, how did they talk to Yao Jinsong that day?"

"I don't know, in this case, you stay here first, and then I'll go and ask your sister." Fang Fei comforted Song Jiu, walked to the door, and hesitated: "Jiujiu, are we being used?" ”

Song Jiu fell silent when he heard this, and his temporary departure from the team made it impossible for him to understand the situation of the team at the first time, Fang Fei's doubts were also his doubts, in the final analysis, the purpose of providing antibodies was to live, if the antibodies could not be exchanged for everyone's safety, then why follow the life of the surnamed Yao?

Wu Wentao and he have reached a consensus on this matter, Song Jiu trusts Wu Wentao, so he agrees to come here to recuperate, he thinks that Wu Wentao will stick to his position, even if the deal fails, it's a big deal to pat his ass and leave. Do you still need to hug your thighs to play with the walking dead? They didn't come here to come back to land and wrestle with the walking corpses.

"By the way, don't be in a hurry to leave." Song Jiu didn't think about it coldly, hurriedly pulled the pillow behind him, and pulled out a crumpled envelope from the cover.

"Huh?" Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, reinserted the latch and walked back, frowning, "What is this?" ”

"Nata was here yesterday, and you weren't there, so we couldn't talk." Song Jiu pursed his lips and handed the envelope to Fang Fei: "This is what she gave me, it seems to be very important, you can help me see what is written here, it shouldn't be a marriage consent letter or something, right?" ”

Fang Fei smiled when he heard this, opened the envelope, and inside was a piece of thin paper, on which were written two lines of foreign characters with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, with beautiful handwriting and flowing water.

"What's wrong?" Song Jiu was a little nervous, he saw that Fang Fei's expression that was smiling a second ago suddenly froze.

"Ninety-nine..."Fang Fei gasped, shook the paper, and said hesitantly, "Nata keeps you away from Yao Jinsong." ”

"What?" Song Jiu was dumbfounded.

"She told you to recuperate here with peace of mind, not to participate in Yao Jinsong's military operations, and kindly reminded you to persuade our people to leave here." Fang Fei's mind was a little confused, what did she want, she had just talked to Song Jiu about this stubble, but Nata had already given her a hint one step ahead of her.

"Can you find her?" Song Jiu took the letter paper and glanced at it, he knew the words, but the words didn't know him.

"The people in the overseas establishment are all in the main building of the administrative district, and I can't get in." Fang Fei shook his head, his expression became solemn, and he hesitated, "What else did she tell you?" ”

"Nothing else, she didn't bring a translator, and you weren't there, so you sat for a while and left, oh, and her children......" Song Jiu's face was a little sneering, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, Natalia was a person in power overseas, and he seemed to be very close to Yao Jinsong a few days ago, why did he give him such a warning for some reason?

"What now? Lao Wu is gone. Fang Fei vaguely realized that things were a little complicated, in fact, from the time they landed on the island, they had lost the ability to control the situation.

"You go back first, and remind everyone......" Song Jiu frowned and thought about it, he really couldn't figure out anything, everything was calm a few days ago, and suddenly he seemed to be caught in a whirlpool, which was really unpleasant.

"Do I need to do anything to prepare?" Fang Fei asked tentatively.

Song Jiu nodded, shook his head again, hesitated for a while, suddenly jumped off the bed, and said, "Go find Nata, you go with me." ”

……

The sea is windy.

The three lifting barges are moving forward at high speed in the shape of 'pin', and the red-bottomed ships break through the sea, the torrent rolls up, and the waves are surging.

Military transport ships are fast and full of cargo provide great stability, the ships are equipped with conventional weapons, and the container holds are guarded by soldiers, and the atmosphere is solemn from top to bottom.

Wu Wentao and Xiao Zhuang stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, their faces indifferent.

"It's almost there." Xiao Zhuang seemed to be in a good mood, his face was full of pride, and he stood aside with his hands behind his back, quite a bit of a leader's posture.

Wu Wentao nodded silently, his eyes were cold, as the first batch of entourages to transfer to the island, he knew what his decision meant, the current situation has deviated from the early assumptions, and the errand with the tiger is not easy to do, it is more difficult than imagined.

"The Taiping Island armed forces will arrive a day later than us." Xiao Zhuang had nothing to say, he was a little scared of Wu Wentao, compared to this cold wood, he was more willing to go with Fang Fei's girls, but Yao Jinsong's order was unquestionable, so he had to follow hard.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Wentao glanced at him and sneered: "Don't beat around the bush. ”

"Okay." Xiao Zhuang was slightly embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said: "I want to remind you that you only have one day to stabilize the situation on the island, and the boss is very confident in you, but I'm a little worried, you are not Fang Fei, will the residents of the island buy your account?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Wu Wentao retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Do your own thing." ”

"I'm thinking about you, if necessary, we can do it before the armed forces on Taiping Island arrive." Xiao Zhuang sniffed, approached Lao Wu's side, and said in a low voice: "We are now our real own people, you don't need to have such an attitude towards me." ”

"I'm me, you're you, and we're a partnership." Wu Wentao didn't sell face at all, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and snorted coldly: "Don't cross the line." After that, he turned around and left, leaving Xiao Zhuang with a dashing and uninhibited back of his head.

Xiao Zhuang stood in place and stared at Wu Wentao's back for a long time.

Wu Wentao returned to the cabin, sighed deeply, and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind a mess.

Three days ago, Yao Jinsong met him alone, and there was no third party present, and they chatted for a long time. The specific content of this secret conversation is unknown to outsiders, but in short, after a long conversation, the transfer plan was advanced. The first batch of material ships quickly assembled and set off under the leadership of Wu Wentao and Xiao Zhuang. The Taiping Island armed forces mentioned by Xiao Zhuang are actually the armed forces under Yao Jinsong, and after the material ships set off, the Taiping Island side received news that the two teams were one after the other, and the final assembly place was the island.

After the arrival of the fleet, it was necessary to establish a future logistics support base on the island as soon as possible, including laboratories, which were included in the first batch of preparations.

However, these things were not done by Wu Wentao, Wu Wentao had other tasks, and Xiao Zhuang did not know about them.

After the two sides converge, the Taiping Island armed forces will land directly under the leadership of Wu Wentao, and to put it more accurately, they should go straight to the Gobi Desert.

The reason is simple, Yao Jinsong showed Wu Wentao another satellite photo.

In the photo, a lonely city stands proudly in the wasteland, inside and outside the city walls, and the walking corpses are everywhere.
