Chapter 9: The Chill
January 3, 007 in the Blue Star New Calendar, Jinghua, noon, sleet.
The gray weather is a little dreary.
With a drizzle of sleet, patches of white mist rose from this steel-concrete forest.
Countless black streaks of smoke turned into a long dragon and rushed towards the gray sky.
The white mist, the black dragon, like a shadow, is very psychedelic.
"Squeak...... The long march of the armored convoy gradually stopped.
Jiang Ping reported to Ma Yu: "The snow in front of the general is waistless, and the convoy can't move on. ”
Ma Yu withdrew his eyes looking at the sky and asked lightly, "Where are you?" ”
Jiang Ping: "I've already arrived outside the Third Ring Road of Dongcheng." ”
Ma Yu nodded, and his slightly vicissitudes of life swept over the surrounding soldiers.
Everywhere his eyes passed, the soldiers wearing anti-gravity black armor all straightened up, and the blood-stained anti-gravity armor was clinging to a few flesh threads, I don't know if it was from a zombie or a mutant beast.
Ma Yu asked lightly: "Have the casualties been counted?" ”
Jiang Ping replied directly: "This team has 6,000 bronze and 3,000 silver, of which silver is not damaged, one hundred and two bronze deaths, three hundred and twenty injuries, and one hundred and twenty of the injured patients have signs of infection. ”
Jiang Ping paused and asked with a little sadness: "General, what should we do with these one hundred and twenty people?" ”
Ma Yu's vicissitudes of life stared at Jiang Ping, and the sleet and snow gradually spread around with an icy chill.
After a while.
Ma Yu said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Take me to see the brothers." ”
Jiang Ping replied with a little sadness: "Yes, general." ”
Ma Yu ordered into the walkie-talkie: "Camp and rest on the spot, and the patrol team will remain vigilant." ”
Jiang Ping took Ma Yu to a place called "Haitian Building" not far away.
……
The army of reincarnations on the street gradually withdrew to the surrounding buildings.
Xu Tao, an officer with the rank of major, walked with two bronzes to an abandoned department store.
Xu Tao walked into the department store and looked around, the staff had already disappeared, and they had probably withdrawn to another time and space.
Soldiers in twos and threes are looking for food from the shelves, then light a bonfire, set up a soup pot, and start cooking rice porridge or instant noodles.
Xu Tao led his team to an open place by the window, removed the anti-gravity armor on his body, and revealed a pale face about thirty years old.
Xu Tao took the anti-gravity armor back to his private space, took off his clothes on the spot, changed into clean and refreshing clothes, and then sat on the ground.
The two bronze team members also painted scoops on the gourd.
A bronze team member took out three packs of high-energy compressed biscuits and three bottles of mineral water from his private space and handed them to Xu Tao and another bronze team member.
Xu Tao took it and said lightly: "Thank you, Zhao Jie, how is it, are you still adapting?" ”
Zhao Jie, who was about twenty years old, showed a faint smile: "It's okay, thanks to the captain for taking care of me during the battle, otherwise I would have confessed here." ”
Xu Tao nodded: "This is my duty." ”
Xu Tao picked up a piece of high-energy compressed biscuit, gently bit down on it, chewed it slowly, and asked the other bronze: "Xie Hui, when you were fighting just now, you were hit on the back, how do you feel now, do you need to go to the wounded barracks." ”
Xie Hui smiled lightly, "It's not in the way, a little injury." ”
At this time, Zhao Jie took out a photo and looked worried.
Seeing this, Xie Hui smiled and teased: "What, Xiao Zhao, I miss my girlfriend." ”
Zhao Jie shook his head and spread the photo to Xie Hui.
But it's a family photo of Zhao Jie.
Seeing this, Xie Hui was puzzled and said, "Didn't the army's logistics department arrange for military dependents to go to the other world for temporary refuge?" ”
Zhao Jie sighed: "My parents are not reincarnators. ”
Xie Hui was puzzled: "Even if you are not a reincarnation, as long as you have an invitation and become a trainee reincarnation, you can hide in the Void Market, but it is just a repetitive challenge to the 'Little Black House'." ”
Zhao Jie shook his head: "My dad has a heart attack again, my mother has high blood pressure, 'dark confinement', this level is almost a moat, insurmountable." ”
Xie Hui was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be silent.
Xu Tao sighed and looked at Zhao Jie, "Xiao Zhao, which city are your parents in?" ”
Zhao Jie: "Rongcheng." ”
Xu Tao thought for a while, "You log in to the Void Network, the diversified Dahua Republic Military Department Network, you can hand in your application and transfer to Rongcheng as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Jie nodded and immediately started to operate.
A few minutes later.
Zhao Jie asked Xu Tao, "Captain, how long will it take for the application to come down." ”
Xu Tao showed a trace of impatience on his face, "The review may not be passed, you should apply a few more times." ”
Zhao Jie showed a touch of disappointment, "Why did the review fail?" ”
Xie Hui said: "In times of peace, it is difficult to mobilize troops, not to mention that it is still the time when Resident Evil breaks out. ”
Zhao Jie couldn't help but be silent, staring at the photo with his eyes, and the worry in his heart was as difficult to calm as a tide.
Xu Tao stared at the silent Zhao Jie, and the "Weiwei friend" sent a picophone to Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Xu Tao, "Captain, this is." ”
Xu Tao was silent, and sent to Zhao Jie through "Weiwei Friend": "You can add this 'Weiwei', it depends on whether you have the courage or not." ”
"Remember, silence."
……
The soldiers in the department store rested against the wall or seriously eliminated the food at hand, and the whole store fell into a strange silence, except for the sound of boiling water "...... bang".
Suddenly, the sound of "boom ......" gunshots rang out.
Xu Tao suddenly got up, quickly put on the anti-gravity armor, and whispered, "Keep up." ”
Xu Tao ran to the street and saw an endless tide of zombies surging in.
"This Nima, where did this come from?" Xu Tao scolded angrily.
Xie Hui guessed: "Jindong City and Jinghua City are not far away, these zombies may be from Jindong." ”
Zhao Jie said intermittently: "There are 20 million zombies in Jinghua, and there are about 15 million zombies in Jindong, if the zombies in Jindong come over, it will add up to 35 million, not including which mutant beasts." ”
Xie Hui exclaimed, "Slaughtering 35 million, what kind of concept is this?" ”
Xu Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the black line in the sky, which was sweeping in.
Zhao Jie suffocated and said: "That, that,..., that's the bull-headed ant of 'Forbidden Time and Space'." ”
……
Sea and Sky Building, Wounded Barracks.
Ma Yu walked heavily to the wounded barracks.
One hundred and twenty infected soldiers, staring at Ma Yu.
"General."
"General."
……
Ma Yu said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, do you have any other wishes?" Ma will definitely do my best to do a good job for the brothers. ”
Soldier A smiled bitterly: "General, if you have the heart, take care of my family, don't let my family die in the other world." ”
Ma Yu said solemnly: "Ma can't guarantee too much, as long as my life is here, I absolutely guarantee that your family will have a place in the other world." ”
"That's enough."
……
Soldier 36 said lightly: "General, can you not execute us?" I want to see if I can carry it? ”
Ma Yu looked stunned, did not answer, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.
Soldier 36 smiled on his face, "General, I'm joking, you said that I am a little bronze, how can I carry it over, I am just joking, don't take it seriously." ”
……
Soldier 99 smiled faintly and said, "Does the general have smoke?" ”
Ma Yu took out a pack of Chinese, took out one, and handed it to the soldier 99.
With a "flutter", a cluster of flames erupted in Ma Yu's right hand, lighting a cigarette for the soldier 99.
……
The sound of "boom ......" sounded.
Jiang Ping hurriedly walked over, "General, a large group of zombies has come from the east of Jindong, and there seem to be bull-headed ants in the sky." ”
Ma Yu waved his right hand, turned around and walked out.
When he passed by Jiang Ping's side, he said in a low voice: "Send the brothers on the road." ”
