Chapter 31 - The Surviving Pilot

As the track descended to the deepest depths, the group came to an ammunition depot made up of several walkways; On the walls on both sides of the walkway are anti-tank missiles, ground-to-ground missiles, rockets, machine gun shells, and so on.

Zhou Zhiyuan gestured to Zhang Hongda

"Are there any beautiful women at home........

Zhang Hongda shouted with his hands in the shape of a trumpet

"I rub... You're sick... Don't you know that this confined space has a big echo."

Chen Guohao patted him on the head and said

Wait a minute, no living corpses rush out, and no living people respond; The crowd could only search through the passages, and at the end of the passages there were several rooms with heavy iron doors that looked like storerooms; Chen Guohao stepped forward to break the curfew, while the others raised their guns to guard the door.

After the heavy iron door was opened, a pungent sour smell wafted out; The tactical flashlight shone on it, a storage room with several iron cabinets, which contained accessories such as flight helmets and night vision goggles; There are also pilots' weapons for self-defense.

In the deepest part of the storeroom, several men in flight suits and ground support suits were reclining against the wall, their bodies untouched except for the slight heaving of their breathing.

"Dongcheng, it's up to you for first aid, the others put their backpacks down and see what he needs; Let's go to the other two rooms and see if there are any other survivors."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

In the other two storerooms, several people in different uniforms were leaning against the wall or lying on the ground, dying, motionless; And Xie Dongcheng was the only one who had received special training as a military doctor, so all the survivors could only be saved by him.

"How is the East City, what is the situation with them; Can you move them?"

Zhou Zhiyuan asked

"No, wait until I see it; Most of the people here have fainted from hunger for too long, come and help me feed some energy water; Wait until you wake up and eat something and you should be fine, the rest is a minor injury that is in arrears and the inflammation becomes severe; It's a little more troublesome, wait a few of you help me carry the uninjured ones over, and I'll be better to deal with the injured ones in another room."

Xie Dongcheng Road

After a brief treatment, the uninjured soldiers were gathered together, and the wounded lay down in another room to rest; Xie Dongcheng had already retreated his wounds, and as a medical soldier, he always carried a field surgical tool set with him; Although there is not much chance that Fang and his party will use it.

I don't know how long it took, but survivors began to come to their senses one after another; He slowly opened his eyes, then slowly turned his head to look at his surroundings.

"It's still in the base... Are we saved?"

An officer in a flight suit spoke slowly

"Don't worry, we've cleared all the living corpses in the base; It's safe now, wait a minute to eat something and then come and talk slowly"

Xie Dongcheng said to the officer

"How many brothers do we have left..."

The officer asked

"I saved only 21 of them, and five of them were not breathing before we arrived"

Xie Dongcheng replied

"Thank you... You're from the military."

The officer asked again

"Sort of, the people in the Special Operations Brigade taught us a lot; You can rest first, wait and eat something, and you'll be refreshed."

Xie Dongcheng Road

The rations carried by the five people were not suitable for people who had been hungry for a long time, so Zhang Hongyuan went outside to look for food to see if he could make some porridge; It's better for them that way.

Because the number of survivors is relatively large, and the physical condition is not very good; Although there is transportation here, on the way back to the base, you have to pass through several places where living corpses are dense; The five of them alone couldn't protect these people from evacuating.

"Judging from the uniforms, these brothers in the army should have those who can fly helicopters and ground crew; We'll see if we can get a few complete helicopters ready to get them all back safely."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"The helicopter in the hangar doesn't look like a problem from the outside, it should be flyable, right?"

Zhang Hongda asked

"We can't ask about this until their bodies recover, none of us understand that"

Liu Jianyu said

In the evening, people came to their senses one after another, and Zhang Hongda used the sealed meat in the kitchen of the base to chop up and cook a large pot of porridge with rice; Let everyone eat a little bit in small bowls, so as not to be unbearable in the stomach.

After a polite conversation with everyone, let the survivors rest early, they have just come out of danger after such a long period of difficult life, and it is time to rest; It's not too late to discuss the next step after a few days, and the food in the base is enough to support.

Since they decided to stay a few more days, Zhou Zhiyuan and the other five began to gather the living corpses in military uniforms in the base; The missile pushers in the base were used to gather all the corpses and wreckage in one place, and burned the badges and flags with them.

"Alas... Fellow brothers, go all the way."

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and said

patted Lolo on the head and motioned for him to take his companion to disperse the guard; Everyone returned to the ammunition depot to rest, and the stars in the night sky seemed to confirm the last journey of the heroes just now.

The next morning, several soldiers who recovered first thanked Zhou Zhiyuan and his party; Talking to them about the chaos at the beginning of the base and the difficult process of these days, they exchanged their survival experiences and the real situation outside in casual conversations.

Originally, only 6 of the more than 70 pilots in the entire base survived, and 12 ground support and maintenance personnel; 5 soldiers from the guard platoon, 12 non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the anti-terrorist battalion of the special operations brigade who came to take the plane; The survival rate of the entire base is less than 10 percent.

Due to the large number of survivors, and most of them are still recuperating; Zhou Zhiyuan discussed with the pilot how to transport all the people back to the base by air.

"According to you, the creatures outside have changed drastically, if you fly the helicopter back to your base, will there be a threat of flying animals?"

A flight officer asked

"I haven't seen any flying anomalous creatures yet, only I've seen them running on land."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"There is no problem in terms of hardware, the transport planes in the mountainside hangar are all ready; And it's all new and it's only been flying for a long time."

Said a non-commissioned officer in a ground mechanic uniform

"There were no wounded soldiers among our surviving flight officers, but they needed to recuperate for a few days before they could fly; This is based on security considerations."

Another pilot officer said

"A medium transport helicopter can carry a platoon of soldiers, just enough for all of us; But we also have to take into account the whereabouts of these weapons and equipment, if you want to move completely, your training base will not have ammunition depots and oil depots; There is nowhere to park the helicopter."

The flight officer who spoke to Zhou Zhiyuan first yesterday said

"You can talk to our commander about this, there should be a satellite phone or something like that, right? We're not full-time soldiers, and we can't decide on this kind of thing."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

Among the base's survivors were communications and electronics technicians, who were able to quickly restore communications along the military lines.

After communicating with the training base for a while, the captain pilot decided to temporarily send Zhou Zhiyuan and his party and the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the anti-terrorist battalion back to the training base, and the pilot officer came to discuss how to make a comprehensive integration of the resources of the two bases.

After all, the storage conditions and environment of air weapons are relatively special, and on the other hand, the army aviation base also needs troops to guard these weapons and equipment; Ground crews and maintenance crews have also fired, but they are not full-time combatants.

Three days later, the pilots were almost fully recovered, and the captain, company commander, and another lieutenant flight officer were piloting together; Zhou Zhiyuan and the officers and men of the anti-terrorist battalion boarded the transport helicopter and returned to the training base after about an hour's flight.

The people in the training base were also very surprised to see Zhou Zhiyuan and his party coming back with the helicopter, and they found that as long as Zhou Zhiyuan and his party came back from a mission every time; The resources or equipment of this base will be further strengthened and enhanced.

"Haha, our anti-terrorist battalion is really destined for you; All the brothers who have survived so far have been rescued by you."

Cao Ming and his brother smiled after seeing each other

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture; Didn't you also teach us a lot of what to press the bottom of the box?"

Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile

Cao Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "That yard is one yard, anyway, we owe you a life"

Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled: "Lao Cao, it's too obvious for you to talk like this."

After chatting with the others, he and the other officers went to the command center of the training base for a meeting, this time to discuss the geographical location and resources of the two camps, and to see which side was more suitable as the main base.

"These two are the senior company commander of the Army Aviation Transport Battalion and Lieutenant Lin of the Assault Battalion, and we will discuss today which of the two bases we have recovered should be the main one; And is the other base going to abandon the mothballing or do you want to use it for another purpose?"

Zeng Weizhong said

"In terms of resource reserves, the army aviation side is more suitable as the main base, regardless of the storage conditions and capacity of fuel and ammunition; Or the population will be more accommodating than we have here."

Guard platoon commander Yao Li said

"Well, the training base here was originally used to test new individual special equipment; The article that the troops are stationed for a long time without the ready"

Cao Mingdao

"My inclination is also to move to the ground base, although the geographical importance of the two sides is about the same; But the living space and the future expansion of the land aviation airport are much better than here."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"Well, now the national crisis is at hand; There is no need to divide any base or camp, it is all the place of the state; Even if our aviation brigade was rescued by the special operations brigade, and the battalion commander Zeng is currently the highest rank; I'm sure you'll all be convinced of your command."

Company Commander Gao said to Zeng Weizhong

"You're wrong, it's Zhou Zhiyuan and the five civilians who really saved you; We all owe them their lives, and the special operations brigade is just teaching them some gadgets."

Zeng Weizhong said

"Oh, don't boast any more; Originally, we were a small people with no ambitions, although we gained some abilities by chance; It can't change our original character, we just hope to find a family reunion as soon as possible."

Zhou Zhiyuan said

"In our eyes, the so-called merit is just what we should do as a member of the country when the national crisis is at the head, if we can be rewarded or something; We just want our families to have priority when it comes to rescuing people, or to give priority to our information."

Liu Jianyu said
