"We have something to do there." Liu Tianming casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

Tian Guangyao did not delve into it. He scrutinized samples of living corpses loaded onto planes, then took out an old-fashioned digital camera from his military backpack and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I don't know where I threw my phone without the internet." Xiao Liu, a few of you came over, took pictures one by one, and used them when you applied for your military ID. ”

Huang He has not spoken. After taking the photo, he couldn't help it: "I said, does this really work?" Along the way, I didn't see any government agencies still functioning, and I didn't see anyone responsible for the virus outbreak. I'm not prejudiced against the military, I'm a police officer myself. It's nothing if you just trade a sample of a living corpse for a weapon. I just want to know, after so much effort, you also ran back and forth several times, getting a few small cardboard military ID cards and throwing them to us, what is the use of this thing? ”

This is a very timely question. Everyone present stopped their movements and focused their eyes on Tian Guangyao.

“…… Don't say that, it's always useful. ”

Tian Guangyao felt embarrassed. He felt uncomfortable in his own heart. However, Tian Guangyao was really unable to come up with convincing evidence. He just instinctively felt that the strength of the army was the basis for stability and balance at all times.

I am a soldier, and I have to speak from the perspective of the military.

"How could it not be useful?"

After a short period of incoherence, Tian Guangyao suddenly became angry: "I don't care what others think, in short, this situation will not last forever. We still have a lot of people, and there are thousands of them at the Northwest Base alone. We have the latest heavy tanks, fighter jets, and well-equipped factories and repair shops. As long as we persevere, we can win this battle and destroy all the man-eating monsters. ”

Huang He instinctively wanted to refute.

Qi Yuanchang walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Gu Kegang remained silent beside him.

Liu Tianming bent down and sent a piece of flesh from a living corpse wrapped in a plastic raincoat at his feet to the plane. This was the last living sample the team had collected.

"Instructor Tian, let's leave it at this for the time being!"

Liu Tianming turned around and walked in front of Tian Guangyao, who was angry, slowly rubbed the blood stains on his hands, and said seriously: "I know that you have good intentions, and I also know that you are thinking about us." Believe me, everyone here doesn't want the world to be the way it is. I also want to live a stable life, and I take my girlfriend out shopping, watching movies, and singing on weekends...... But now there is nothing. We have no choice, we have doubts about the world, about everything. It's not our fault, and it's not your fault. ”

Gu Kegang walked over, he felt that he should be friendly, and said to Tian Guangyao: "The Yellow River has no malice. He's just a little impulsive. ”

Tian Guangyao shook his head silently. Such representation does not imply endorsement or denial. His gaze swept swiftly over everyone present, not alert or hostile, just as indifferent as if looking at a stranger, mixed with a hint of pain.

He put away his camera, turned and walked into the cabin, leaving a word.

"Almost everyone I know is dead. Each of them was brave, did not retreat, did not fear, and fought until the end. I shouldn't have lived, I should have died like them, fighting ...... need it most."

The deafening roar of helicopter engines obscured the last part of Tian Guangyao's words.

In everyone's sight, the helicopter left the ground and flew northwest, quickly disappearing into the dim and distant sky.

……

The convoy continued to move in the direction of Xichang.

There were scattered corpses all along the route, and the wreckage of vehicles was also everywhere. Probably because of their proximity to the city, most of these cars were heading in the opposite direction of the group's route. Most of the deceased's bodies had been gnawed away, leaving only bones with black, air-dried flesh on the surface. From time to time, a few wild dogs would pop out and sniff back and forth among the corpses, looking for anything to eat.

Dogs have also mutated. Their eyes gleamed with a striking red.

Along the way, there were cats and dogs constantly colliding with the convoy. A group of mutated sparrows even hit the top of the off-road vehicle driven by Liu Tianming. It was as if a group of strange dive bombers, with the screams of falling from a high altitude, hit the roof of the car one after another. There were about a hundred of these mutated birds, and they were smashed into a blur of flesh on the roof of the off-road vehicle. Liu Tianming waited until the mutant bird in the sky was no longer visible, and then stopped to check the damage.

The hard, smooth roof was crumbled and covered in feathers and stinking flesh. In the words of the Yellow River, these mutated creatures are probably tired of life, so they use this crazy predatory method.

For the whole day, the process of pushing the cart, clearing the road, and moving forward was repeated. When it was nightfall, Liu Tianming looked at the journey counter on the dashboard and found that he had only walked less than 20 kilometers.

Just as he was about to camp, Liu Tianming received a long-range communication from Sibo through the antenna set up on the top of the truck.

"Long story short! You guys are very nice and trustworthy, and you helped me get a lot of live samples. I'm a person who likes equivalent exchanges. Since I am satisfied with the samples you have handed in, I will not be stingy with you in terms of supplies and weapons. ”

Liu Tianming held the microphone in his hand and said unhurriedly: "Do I need to say "thank you" to you?" ”

"Of course it wasn't necessary. In fact, we are collaborators, partners who take what they need.

Sibo's tone still sounded so frivolous. There was a smile in his voice: "When I saw the sample, I thought it was strange. You've done this job much better than I expected. Each sample is noted with the location and time of collection, and an estimate of the age of the sample is recorded. Gender, characteristics, body parts, and even details such as fragments of clothing on the specimen's body are included. Hehe...... I heard Major Tian say that you used to be a doctor. It's good, I like doctors because they are very rigorous and very careful.

These remarks are not Sibo's exaggeration of the facts, deliberately winning Liu Tianming's favor.

Tian Guangyao brought back a large number of samples, which exceeded Sibo's expectations. Liu Tianming did this very carefully. Take, for example, a piece of buttocks cut from a living corpse: paper details of where the corpse was killed, a rough estimate of the ambient temperature of the battle scene, the age, gender, physical appearance, and movement characteristics of the opponent. Liu Tianming even asked the team members to leave some of the clothes on the bodies of the slain corpses. This allows researchers to perform a more detailed analysis of the sample with external attachments. After all, the circumstances in which a person lives, whether rich or poor, have a decisive impact on the body and can speed up the research process.

Liu Tianming is a doctor. When I was in medical school, it became a regular habit to make detailed columns of research tools and experimental subjects, and to label various data in detail.

He didn't like Sibo very much: "Aren't you making a long story short? Let's be more direct and tell me about something I'm interested in. For example: When can I be restocked with 100,000 rounds of ammunition? ”

"Major Tian has already given you a lot of things."

Sibo spoke into the intercom: "You are not short of bullets now, and you are also fully equipped with weapons. Don't tell you you're going to eat it for dinner. I don't think you can travel long distances with 100,000 rounds of ammunition. That's no different from a madman. ”

Liu Tianming didn't want to go on endlessly on this issue: "Agree on a time for regular communication!" It's good for all of us. We're not doing as well as you might think, but it's not too bad. If I can, I'd like to equip us with some more powerful weapons the next time we trade. ”

"All I can say is as much as possible."

Sibo was silent for a few seconds, and said seriously: "I have no ill intentions. It's true. I never wanted to make things difficult for you. I understand your difficulties out there. A lot of people died, and many people were looking for life in different ways. Please understand that I have no intention of putting you to death. But I really need these samples. I have to think about those who are alive, like Major Tian. If...... Even if they are infected by the virus, it is really all over. ”

Liu Tianming's voice was not high, as if it had the power to penetrate the intercom: "Can you tell me to what extent the virus has spread?" How many people are still alive? ”

"I don't have much information here."

Sibo sighed: "This is a disaster for the whole world, and it is not exclusive to a certain country. The information on the new Beijing base is definitely more detailed and comprehensive than I have here. It is conservatively estimated that more than two-thirds or more of the mutated humans are infected by the virus. They mutate quickly. This can cause a chain reaction. All in all, the very foundations of human society have been devastated, especially the most important food production system. Even if we rely on the food stocks we already have, we will not be able to sustain them for long. Even if those who survive are not infected, they will starve to death at some point in the future. ”

"One more thing."

Sibo glanced at the laptop spread out on his desk, and the screen showed the satellite cloud image he had just received: "This is probably not good news for you. The typhoon has made landfall from the coast and will soon move to where you are now. The temperature can get very low and it is a very strong snowstorm. Don't doubt it, I'm telling the truth, it's the weather forecast. ”

Until now, Liu Tianming finally had a good impression of Sibo.

If he had malicious intentions towards himself, he would never have told himself the news.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Tianming said solemnly: "Thank you!" "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
