Chapter 12: News from Heijo
After listening to Chenxi's words, Xu Qingyang thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand, so he asked, "I still don't understand, you knew each other before?" Got an old feud? ”
Dusty Creek said, "Even if I say I don't know, will you believe it?" You don't have to figure it out, because the world has changed, and there will be many things in the future that you will never understand. What you need to do is not to figure it out, but to survive. ”
Xu Qingyang touched his face, he still didn't understand and couldn't figure it out, so the wrinkles between the brows on his old face became more and more profound.
But he felt that what Chenxi said was still reasonable, he didn't believe her in the first place, no matter what she said, he could find a reason to doubt her, so why bother?
The world has changed, and the zombie army on the 254 border and the zombies standing on the street downstairs at the moment are not proof?
Who can figure out where these zombies come from?
And the gun and the sword in Chenxi's hand, what's going on?
All kinds of thoughts came to his heart, making Xu Qingyang silent for a while.
For the first time in his 20 years in the army, he felt so helpless.
……
"Report to the chief, the radio communication equipment has been assembled, request instructions." The voice of the communication soldier Zhang Lin sounded, interrupting Xu Qingyang's thoughts.
Xu Qingyang came back to his senses, quickly stood up, and nodded at Chenxi, which can be regarded as the end of this unclear conversation.
He turned around and looked at Zhang Lin's standard salute and military posture, his mood was a little complicated.
He remembered what Dusty Creek had said when he first came last night - "Strictly speaking, since yesterday, you are no longer soldiers. ”
He had a hunch that perhaps from today onwards, they would no longer be soldiers.
……
……
"Headquarters, headquarters, here is the 254 border base of the Northern Military District, please answer if you receive it, please answer it when you receive it......"
Wow...... Wow......
Zhang Lin's voice kept ringing next to the assembled radio communication equipment, but there was no response to the echo received except for the sizzling of electricity.
He was sure that there was no problem with his assembly, and he had done every emergency communication drill rigorously over the years.
Therefore, apart from the fact that the headquarters of the military region has lost contact, he can no longer think of other possibilities.
Under what circumstances will the headquarters lose contact?
Xu Qingyang stood on the rooftop next to the communication equipment, looking at the group of zombies downstairs who were wandering aimlessly on the street.
Who else but them would capture the headquarters of a military district with hundreds of thousands of troops in this era of peace?
Half an hour, an hour, two hours......
Time passed little by little, and still no response was received.
Xu Qingyang paced back from the rooftop and looked at Zhang Lin, the young man's voice had become a little hoarse, and his expression had gradually changed from expectation to numbness and disappointment.
He took out the mobile phone that he had almost thrown away because he was angry before, pressed out a page, and handed it to Zhang Lin, which was an encrypted message, the content of which was the frequency modulation parameters of the emergency radio communication of the Pingcheng Military Region Headquarters.
In fact, the loss of contact with the Northern Military Region has long been expected by Xu Qingyang, the 254 border line is only a small section of the border between Zhongzhou and Slo, and zombies need to cross the long Moling Mountains to pass through this border line.
On the northwest border, the zombie hordes from the Sloh Kingdom only need to cross a large expanse of grassland to directly enter the territory of Zhongzhou.
When he was still at the border base, before the first contact with the Slovan Zombie Army, Xu Qingyang ordered to send a message to the headquarters for help, and ten minutes later, he received a reply from the headquarters, and the reply was that the 254 border troops must strictly guard the border and not let a zombie enter the country.
Xu Qingyang guessed at that time that the entire northern border was on the verge of danger, otherwise it would be impossible for the headquarters not to reply to any information about reinforcements.
The loss of contact with the Northern Military Region made it completely clear to him that the entire northern part of Zhongzhou was already in danger, and perhaps, that group of zombies from the Sloh country had captured all the northern cities and villages.
But he still holds on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Pingcheng, the capital city with natural dangers, and the entire central and southern part of Zhongzhou, which has a big river as a barrier, will not be invaded by large-scale zombie hordes.
If this is the case, there is still hope for Zhongzhou, and the north can be recovered sooner or later.
In addition, his family is still in Pingcheng, and when Pingcheng is safe, his family is still alive.
"Pingcheng, Pingcheng, here is the 254 border defense unit of the Northern Military District, request a call, request a call, please answer if you receive it!" Zhang Lin set up the communication channel according to the parameters in the encrypted message, raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingyang, and when the other party nodded, he shouted into the intercom.
……
The silence for a long time made Zhang Lin and Xu Qingyang's palms sweat.
This time the communication worked very well, and during the waiting, even the sound of electricity was very little.
Judging by Zhang Lin's experience, he felt that this communication would be successful.
Half an hour later.
There was a "click", which seemed to be the sound of someone picking up the intercom.
The voice was very weak, Xu Qingyang squatted down and leaned over to listen to the intercom in Zhang Lin's hand.
Bang!!
A gunshot rang out from the intercom.
Someone was breathing heavily, and his mouth was screaming in pain from time to time.
Xu Qingyang and Zhang Lin didn't even dare to gasp, and their hearts couldn't help but fall into the freezing point at this time.
The situation in Pingcheng City also seems to be dangerous.
"This is Heijo, uh...... Heijo has been captured by the enemy, repeat, Heijo has been captured by the enemy, and all men have retreated to the south...... The last safe base is South Twilight Island, repeating, the last safe base ...... South Twilight Island! "There was a string of hurried female voices over the intercom, as if they had just experienced a big battle.
Xu Qingyang grabbed the intercom in Zhang Lin's hand and shouted inside: "Where did the zombies in Pingcheng come from?" What is the situation in the family homes of the officers and soldiers of the troops in the west of the city? ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Zombies came from the northeast, Yanping Pass was lost, everything happened too fast, Pingcheng was gone, there were zombies everywhere, woo...... I was bitten, woo...... I don't want to be like that. The woman in the intercom whimpered and cried.
The crying was very desolate, and Zhang Lin and the people who had already gathered around him were stumped in their hearts.
Xu Qingyang's eyes were red, and he didn't know what to say, because everything seemed to be meaningless, and his hopes were completely shattered.
If the capital is lost, the country will not be a country, the family will not be a family, and from then on, what is the meaning of walking alone in the world?
"Go south, eh...... To South Twilight Island, uh...... Don't come to Heijo, let's go...... "......The woman's voice is getting quieter and quieter, and after the virus invades the body, her consciousness will gradually become blurred, and within ten minutes, she will become a living zombie.
Become the last thing she wants to be.
Bang!!
Gunshots rang out again.
Smack...... The intercom in her hand fell to the ground.
The woman chose to commit suicide, and with her last strength, she held a gun against her temple and pulled the trigger.
