Chapter Twenty-Five—The Divergence of the Mall

"This is the situation now, for a while to rest in the village on the hill; At present, there is no relatively large army organized; We haven't been in touch with the above either."

Special Sergeant Major Cao Mingdao

"Think for yourselves whether you want to leave with us or stay here; It's up to you to decide, and we won't take away your food resources; In addition to some equipment on the fifth and sixth floors, you can choose first; We'll take the rest."

Zhou Zhiyuan looked at everyone

Originally, I saw Zhou Zhiyuan and his party coming back with several soldiers, thinking that they were coming to the rescue, but the reality was

Let the people who were originally full of surprises feel like they have participated in the ice bucket challenge; Cold from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.

The expected brigade of men and horses, tanks, planes, and artillery were not seen; There were only soldiers covered with muddy armored vehicles and two or three kittens, and there was no decent rescue camp so they could only flee to the mountains.

"Brother Yuan, let's go with you; We can do farm work and repair houses, and we won't drag you down; And Brother Xing's news of his son is also easy to inquire about by military brothers."

Migrant workers were the first to take a stand

The other women said that they would stay where they were and wait, only Xu Weien and Guan Haiqin had different reactions; This phenomenon made Zhou Zhiyuan and his party a little puzzled.

Guan Haiqin was full of worry and uneasiness, and did not say a word

"Miss Guan, this is your father's subordinate, Company Commander Sun Shiyun; He has news for you to tell Lingzun."

Zhou Zhiyuan said to Guan Haiqin

"Yo, it's only been a few days since you missed me; This time, my sister will elope with you if she doesn't want anything, will you take it in?"

Xu Weien asked with a smile of surprise on his face

"My sister is willing to follow me, it is a great blessing and a great honor; As the saying goes, a good family has an old man who has a treasure, how can it be bad for such a big treasure to take the initiative to follow now!"

Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile

"Stinky boy hasn't been too hard working lately, something is wrong, do you want my sister to help you loosen your bones?"

Xu Weien glanced at him with a charming face

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled silently, walked in front of Xu Weien, and slowly approached her face with one hand against the wall; Xu Weien looked at him with a smile on her face and unflustered, only to see Zhou Zhiyuan's face leaning towards her ear.

"Sister, wait a minute to comfort Guan Haiqin, her father died in the line of duty; Also, the knife is taken upside down; Pressing the switch on this side will hurt you"

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled evilly and said in a low voice

After that, he turned around and strode away, shouting loudly as he walked: "Brothers, let's go to the sixth floor to pack the drone first"

Xu Weien exhaled softly, and a slight flush appeared on his face; It turned out that she was pretending to be calm just now, how could her instinctive reaction as a woman make a man who had known her for a long time approached her and was indifferent.

"Looks like he's not a bad person, but he's kind of a child;"

Xu Weien laughed and muttered to himself

Guan Haiqin, who was depressed, sat on the bed; The second eye was empty and godless, and the belief that had supported her for more than a month collapsed; Although he has been with his father since he was a child, he has rarely been separated from his parents, but the relationship is really deep; Every brief moment of reunion is deeply imprinted in her mind.

"I don't know how to comfort you, and I don't know what the world is doing right now; I'll just remind you a few words, do you think your dad wants you to live?! And what does he want you to live?!"

After Xu Weien entered the door, she only said such a short sentence and turned to leave, she knew that Guan Haiqin needed time; It's useless to say anything now.

She helped Guan Haiqin pack each other's simple luggage and equipment, leaving space for this sad girl; went out to find Zhou Zhiyuan to find out the actual situation, and after reading countless people, she obviously felt that Zhou Zhiyuan and the soldier were acting just now.

Three armored vehicles were parked at the elevator entrance of the parking lot on the second basement floor, and the other people carried the equipment they wanted into the elevator in the same way; Drones, solar power units, outdoor power storage devices, thermal power generation cookers, various equipment for camping, etc.

"Why do you say they insist on staying here, is it just because of the good living environment here?"

Zhou Zhiyuan asked Xu Weien curiously

"This is just one of the reasons, mainly because Qianqian has a satellite phone on her body that can still be contacted outside, so they have been waiting for her family or her boyfriend to find a way to save them"

Xu Weien told the truth, it turned out that there was a way out a long time ago; No wonder every day is like killing time

"Heh, I didn't say it before because I was afraid that we would rely on her? How could she want to bring the others?"

Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help but sneer

"Haven't you heard that women are to be coaxed, and a few returnee scholars flatter her all day long; She said yes to everything with a light on her face."

Xu Weien smiled faintly

"Then I can only wish them good luck, life is their own choice; Whether it's good or bad, it's up to you!"

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"I know you must not have told the truth just now, is there something new out there these days? After you left, no one went outside to observe."

Xu Weien whispered quietly

"Hehe, I'll tell you when I call Brother Sheng"

Zhou Zhiyuan laughed

"Dream, my mother is two years older than you; Under-drawn, huh."

Xu Weien glared at him and said angrily

Zhou Zhiyuan didn't continue to tease her, so he told her about the recent encounter with the soldiers, the mutation of living corpses, the resources of the cargo area, etc.; The matter of the base was handed over to the battalion commander to explain later

"Oh my God... A monster that can run, catch and never die."

Xu Weien's little face trembled slightly

"yes, and they seem to move towards human habitation; As long as there are no survivors in the city, I suspect they may migrate en masse!"

Zhou Zhiyuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously

After all the equipment and objects are loaded, the 4X4 assault vehicle will be centered on the all-ground vehicle; The migrant workers got on the 8X8 armored personnel carrier and followed, and Guan Haiqin and Xu Weien drove Guan Haiqin's off-road guards to hang the tail of the convoy.

Zhou Zhiyuan and his entourage drove away the only 3 domestic and imported off-road pickup trucks in the parking lot, since they knew that the five women who stayed behind had been divided and looked down on people from the beginning; Zhou Zhiyuan will no longer have the thinking of thinking for them.

When a group of people returned to the training base in a big way, the people who came from the mall couldn't vomit; The children were the most pitiful, and the medical officer hurried to the rescue of everyone; Xie Dongcheng also helped to see the symptoms and administer medicine.

"Battalion commander, my suggestion is to place all the people on the farm; can help take care of the reclamation without touching your core principles"

After Zhou Zhiyuan got out of the car, he and Zeng Weizhong went straight to the topic, although they didn't know what the situation in the country was; But military law and orders are the spiritual pillars of soldiers, and even if they are not willing to offend even if they can't live happily, you can know the influence of these in their hearts; Therefore, it should be right to take the initiative to respect.

"Well, thank you for being considerate; After all, in the past, you couldn't even touch the sentry posts below, although now the national crisis is in a hurry; You also know the strategic peculiarities of our unit, so the communication equipment is highly classified for security"

Major Zeng Weizhong said

After everyone's physical condition improved, Zhou Zhiyuan guided everyone to the farm in the direction of the top of the mountain; The farm is about 200 meters away from the base, and there is a simple wooden fence at the door.

After entering the door, there are two large and small fish ponds on the left, the large one is about 150 meters long and about 60 meters wide bamboo-based fish pond, which can not only raise fish but also harvest bamboo shoots; The small ones are fingerling ponds, which are only one-third the size of the large ponds.

To the right of the gate is a field of about 10 acres, each of which is a partition; At the back of the field is a two-story building 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, and the first floor is a semi-open warehouse for storing seeds and tools; The second floor is the housing of the former left-behind soldiers.

On the second floor, there are four suites, each with two bunk beds, a desk and a four-person iron wardrobe; Bathrooms are all in the room, and there is also a kitchenette and a dining room on the second floor.

Past the farmhouse is the fruit tree area; About 2 acres of fruit trees are planted, including apples, plums, citrus, walnuts, and chestnuts, and on the opposite side of the fruit tree area are small chicken and duck houses.

At the end of the farm is a small pasture enclosed by an iron fence, with pigs, sheep, and cattle in three different directions; Each has a dozen domestic animals.

Walk about 200 meters from the back door of the farm to the drone runway and the hangar tower, and there are three mountain lakes in front of the airport. It should be the water source of the entire mountain, and the total area is at least twenty times the size of the base.

Because drones are not available at present, the 15 medium-sized vans that drove back from the airport's storage area were temporarily parked on the runway; On the side of the small airport, there is a large triangular meadow with at least 1,000 tents, and as long as the two sides of the forest are fenced, it is a large camping area.

After a big walk, Zhou Zhiyuan took everyone back to the farmhouse to rest; The first batch of people in the base automatically enjoyed the privilege of the brick house, and the peasant wives said that there was water, electricity and scenery here, which was much better than the shopping mall; And this place is something I used to dream of in my hometown.

"The fixed sentry is the three places that have just come: the mountainside, the base gate, and the small airport, as well as the mobile sentry on which an electric car is ridden; It's all in pairs, it's safe here."

After Zhou Zhiyuan and everyone briefly finished talking about the distance in the base, they asked everyone to rest early; so as not to miss the time to gather tomorrow morning for morning exercises, and secretly stuffed a few boxes of sleeves to the three big men before leaving; It is said that if there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, it will be dangerous for the child and the mother.

The three honest men hurriedly accepted it red, and their faces unconsciously showed a look of yearning; In such a high-pressure living environment for a long time, it is always necessary to release negative energy regularly, so Zhou Zhiyuan regarded *** as a kind of living material at the beginning.

It's just that it's really not good to move a few cars back openly, and few people use it now; secondly, I am afraid that this group of soldiers will be cranky, and then they will become yellow mud and lose their crotch; So a lot of them are still lying in the storage area of the airport.
