Chapter 69: The Vanishing Corpse (6)
At half past seven in the evening, the weather changed dramatically, and the rain fell cracklingly.
Lu Xun sat in the darkness, turned his head to look out the window, it was so dark outside the window that he couldn't see his fingers, and he could only hear the dense raindrops hitting the window pane...... It's damn weather, it doesn't rain early or late, but it's raining at this time.
The computer screen was dim, and the surveillance camera in the rainy night couldn't shoot anything, only the raindrops could be seen falling on the glass cover outside the lens...... In this damn weather, it has begun to rain heavily, and a heavy rain may cause a flaw in the trap he has set, and all the careful preparations he has made are in vain.
Belle was lying on the roof of the building with a rainproof cloth, her clothes had been soaked by the rain, and it would rain so heavily tonight that she didn't expect it, and a deep layer of water soon accumulated on the roof. Belle lay on her stomach in the water, her soaked hair sticking to her cheeks, droplets of water falling down the ends of her hair.
"Heavy Artillery, how's the situation on your side?" Lu Xun asked, "Do you want to come down first?" It's okay to abandon the action for the time being tonight. ”
"Everything is fine on my side." Belle held the binoculars, "The operation continues, according to the original plan. ”
Lu Xun sat on the chair and stopped talking.
"Wait, maybe it won't be long before it rains." The girl said, "It may stop in the middle of the night." ”
Belle is a stubborn person, never willing to admit defeat, if you let her give up the action for no reason, she will definitely refuse, but Lu Xun doesn't want her to be drenched in the heavy rain outside all night, although it is all vigil, but Lu Xun is sitting indoors, and Belle is on the roof of the building, with only a rainproof cloth on her body, which is really at the mercy of the wind and rain.
It rains for so long to get a cold and fever, and it's a strange thing to say that a cold is a strange thing, and the people in the hummingbird hunting team are not afraid of the doomsday virus, but they still have a cold and fever.
The cemetery was hidden in the rainy night, almost dark all around, Belle slowly moved the night vision goggles, the heavy rain was a huge interference with her observation, the icy rain could mask the infrared heat radiation of the target, so the girl had to concentrate, she had the AWM sniper rifle next to her.
The two snipers in the security zone have always been observers and gunners in one, one person playing two roles at the same time.
Lu Xun also stared at the computer screen, and the image was full of raindrops flying in the wind, which could no longer be effectively monitored and recorded.
Outside the window was the sound of the whirring wind, and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, and it was shot down like an overwhelming wave, and Lu Xun felt that the rain was daunting, and the reinforced concrete buildings seemed to be crumbling in such a storm, like a ship on the dark sea.
Lu Xun suddenly heard the crackling sound on the window pane, as if someone was smashing the glass with a stone.
"Is this rain?" Lu Xun was stunned for a moment.
"No, it's not rain." Lao Jia said, "This is hail, hail is falling outside." ”
"Hail?" Lu Xun was taken aback, this was the first time he had encountered hail, "How can it be hail in SH City?" ”
"Hail can fall anywhere, and some cumulonimbus clouds contain abundant moisture and strong updrafts, and hail can occur in such conditions." Lao Jia explained, "I haven't heard of hail in SH City before, but this world is different from the one before you, and the disappearance of human civilization has greatly changed the earth's climate. ”
Lu Xun opened the door, and he could see that the ice particles had fallen down the hallway, and they were densely laid out, the small ones were only a few millimeters in diameter, but the largest ones were bigger than his thumb.
Lu Xun raised his head, the heavy rain mixed with hail enveloped the whole city, he originally expected that the rain would stop soon, but now not only did the rain not stop, but even the hail came down.
"It's too dangerous to stay outside in such bad weather, so call that girl back quickly." Lao Jia reminded.
Lu Xun nodded, and was about to try to contact Belle, when the computer screen suddenly flashed, and the video was interrupted, leaving only the screen full of snowflakes.
"What's going on?" Lu Xun came up to debug the computer and cables, plugged and unplugged the interface, but the image was not restored.
"The signal is broken." Lao Jia said, "Probably there was a problem with the camera, and the wind blew the interface of the data line." ”
"Hell...... I had to give up tonight. Lu Xun shook his head, "Heavy artillery, did you hear that?" Suspend the action plan, repeat, suspend the action plan temporarily. ”
No one answered in the headset.
"Huh? Heavy artillery? Lu Xun frowned, "Did you hear that?" Suspend the plan for the time being, and come back quickly, this hail, don't stay outside...... Strange, don't the headphones have a signal anymore? ”
Lu Xun took off his headphones and patted them.
Suddenly there was a dull "bang" outside the window, and Lu Xun's movements paused.
"Lao Jia?"
"That's right, it's gunshots."
The gunfire was muffled by the storm and hail, it didn't sound obvious, the land patrol was relatively close, so it was heard clearly, and there was no doubt that it was Belle who fired the gun.
Lu Xun put on his headphones, picked up his crutches and rushed out, shouting: "Heavy artillery! Heavy artillery, what's going on over there? Heavy artillery? Hear it, please answer! ”
In the next second, Lu Xun tripped over the threshold, fell and ate, and threw his crutches and headphones far away.
Damn, these two stump legs.
A barrage of gunfire exploded in the rainy night, one after the other, and Belle fired a total of five shots, emptying a magazine.
Lu Xun got up and limped to pick up the headphones and crutches, Lu Xun couldn't wait to rush to the roof of the building in the next second, but he dragged his two stump legs.
"Heavy artillery! Heavy artillery! Can you hear me? What's going on? Lu Xun walked like a fly on crutches, and the potential of his crippled leg fully exploded, and if this speed was placed in the Paralympics, he would probably be able to win a championship and come back.
But Belle still didn't respond.
Lu Xun turned to contact others, he was on crutches with one hand and the other to adjust the channel of the communication headset, no matter how disabled Lu Xun was, he couldn't find Belle immediately, so he had to find someone to help...... At this time, no matter who it is, as long as you can get here as soon as possible.
But hell, he specially transferred all the executive departments before, and emphasized that they were not allowed to step into the cordon tonight, and it would take five or six minutes for the nearest executive department to get to the cemetery at this time.
"This is Lu Xun, the head of the Executive Department! There is an unexpected situation in the mission! Whoever hears me, please contact the Colonel and the Executive Department immediately! Repeating, here is Lu Xun, the head of the Executive Department...... "Lu Xun resisted the torrential rain and hail, dragged his injured leg all the way, and he couldn't see anything in the black light, so the channel of the headset was also tuned from memory, and he could only expect someone to hear his cry for help, and then immediately notify the colonel and the executive department."
There was a slight rustling sound in the headphones, followed by someone talking.
"Roger."
Lu Xun was overjoyed in his heart, and someone really heard him speak.
"This is the Hummingbird Group Lemon, and the signal has been received."
