Chapter 25: Encounter (1)

Oasis Camp

Most of the full-width soldiers gathered on the tarmac, staring at the silver aircraft slowly descending in the air.

Unlike last time, they were heavily guarded, this time they pressed down on their guns with the muzzle facing the ground as a sign of respect for the visitors.

After all, there are only a few generals who can ride high-spec special aircraft.

After the aircraft landed, the hatch opened quickly, and an old man with a tiger's back and a strong spirit was the first to come out of it, with a calm and solemn expression.

The other prime men who came out were all dressed in military uniforms, and it can be seen from the epaulettes that this group of people is not small, and the lowest rank is also a lieutenant.

"Salute!"

After Zhao Yang, who served as the supreme commander of the camp, shouted, the soldiers saluted with guns in unison to greet the high-ranking people from the military region.

The old man responded to the crowd with a salute, with a kind of non-angry and self-righteous momentum, like a lion marching forward.

An officer glanced at another fighter plane on the tarmac and quietly walked next to Zhao Yang, who was leading the way.

"Zhao Yang, what about those people from the White Shark Combat Team?"

"Now they are all in the camp dormitory, I have someone to watch, and you can summon them at any time if you need them."

Zhao Yang lowered his voice to respond to the old acquaintance who asked the question, he knew that this time the matter was not so simple, so he strictly implemented the notice sent by the military region.

The White Shark group confidently went out on a mission, but they returned in embarrassment and lost half of their manpower.

At that time, he felt that this combat team was going to be in trouble and could not make a deal to the military region, but the truth was far more serious than he imagined, and it actually alarmed the military generals.

Zhao Yang glanced sideways at the old man, although this old general Yu has retired, as the former head of the First Military Region, there must still be a huge and invisible real power, but ordinary people can't see it.

Everyone went to the service center of the Oasis camp, walked up to the upper three floors, which were never open to the public, and entered the conference room.

After the old man sat down, the middle-aged man with a Chinese face walked up to the former, leaned down and asked, "Old Yu, do you think we are summoning the White Shark Combat Team now, or are we going to see their report materials first?" ”

"Let those kids come over."

When the middle-aged man went to make arrangements, the old man picked up the paper report materials on the table, and his hands trembled imperceptibly.

On this Bai Yuan Star, he is a powerful veteran, but he is also a pathetic lonely old man.

His wife died early, and his two sons were killed in battle one after another in the past few years, or he killed them.

Based on this sadness, he gave his granddaughter the right to choose freely, but he didn't expect that his granddaughter was different from the two sons who were forced by him, but voluntarily embarked on the road of joining the army.

And he performed well in various trainings, and was finally selected into the White Shark combat team, a reserve force that will have to rush to the front line to participate in serious battles in the future.

But he didn't expect that everything hadn't started yet, it was just an assessment mission, and his only granddaughter was unfortunately killed.

"Death in battle is the glory of a soldier!"

This was his mantra, and even at the funerals of his two sons, he said this to the soldiers who came to pay their respects.

Maybe this is retribution, this time he can't say such things anymore, he just wants his granddaughter to live well.

...........

"Hello..."

Yu Youzi couldn't help but let out a small sneeze, and although she hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover it, there was still a sound echoing in the secret passage.

Finding that Qin Ming in front looked back, she lowered her head embarrassedly and said weakly: "Accident." ”

"Take a break, you adjust your state first, and don't have this kind of accident when you go out."

Although her tone was very flat, Yu Youzi still felt Qin Ming's seriousness.

Unlike Sister Ruolan, who is cold-faced and hot-hearted, the guide has a stern attitude in his eyes, and he can feel the pressure with a little attention.

In the darkness, the two of them leaned against the wall of the same secret passage, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

It's been five days since the Zerg riot, and now that Lily of the Valley has basically returned to calm, most of the basic supplies carried by the two have been consumed, so they chose to leave at this time.

The escape tunnels in the underground shelters are buried deep and long, so oxygen here is thin.

If it was a human a thousand years ago, it would have been possible to suffocate without an oxygen cylinder, but for the new humans who have mastered the original energy now, it is just a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Yu Youzi said, "Guide, let's go." ”

Qin Ming examined her carefully to confirm whether her mental state was good, and finally nodded his head.

There isn't just one exit to the underground tunnel, there are seven branches along the way, and that's not counting the collapsed branches.

The one he chose was the closest to the outskirts of the city, and he had some supplies hidden nearby before entering the inner city, which he had to retrieve first.

At present, he can use the original energy in his body to feed himself in a short period of time, so that he can not eat or drink for several days in a row, and it will not seriously affect his state.

But this is only under normal circumstances, and if there is constant combat attrition along the way, he will not be able to hold it either.

Sometimes he is also quite envious of others, and when there is a shortage of food, they can choose to replenish themselves by drinking Primal Elixir.

This is also why the White Shark Combat Team previously brought the most things, in addition to the energy crystals used as ammunition reloading, were the original energy potion.

As for his own words, when he entered the city, he had to bury supplies everywhere in advance in case of contingency.

In fact, if you don't prepare like this, you won't really starve to death, and the zerg and mutated creatures are all mobile ingredients.

But in the year of the occupied area, he had eaten enough of these things, and he would never touch them again unless he had to.

The exit of the secret passage is a wine cellar of an inn, and the wall used for concealment is opened, and there is a wine rack on the outside as a barrier.

Qin Ming didn't push it away immediately, but first saw if the surrounding environment had changed.

The wooden shelves were still empty, and there were a few empty glass bottles scattered around the corners, which were roughly unchanged, except that when he came to investigate the outside world two days ago, there were a few more cigarette butts on the ground, and there were traces of footprints.

So he reminded: "Someone has been here in the past two days, wait and be careful." ”

Yu Youzi nodded and clenched the rifle in his hand.

Sometimes the most terrifying thing in the wilderness is not necessarily the Zerg, but the same kind.

It is probably only in the areas controlled by the military that the social order has not completely collapsed, and as for other places, there is no power to suppress the evil of human nature, and the result can be imagined.

Of course, in the past two years, the war zone between humans and the Zerg has eased, and the military has been able to free up its hands to clean up the dregs, so that many areas have eliminated the chaos and tragedy.

However, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, and most of these guilty people have changed their faces and entered non-military groups.

So it's best to be vigilant when you encounter other people in the wilderness, because it's hard to tell whether it's a human or a ghost standing in front of you.

Qin Ming removed the wine rack, walked out with Yu Youzi, and looked up at the staircase of the wine cellar.

When he walked up, he found that the cellar door was sealed, and he could only insert his war knife into the gap and cut the iron tether outside.

As soon as he left the cellar, he heard the sound of laughter in the moving air, and though he was sure that there were at least four strangers in the inn.

If he could avoid it, Qin Ming didn't want to meet them, but unfortunately there was only one passage to the hall outside, so he could only walk over generously.

When he was about to walk out of the corridor, he raised his hand to let Yu Youzi stop first, and he walked out first and knocked on the wall next to him.

The muffled sound was very abrupt, and the clinking glasses and drinking naturally stopped.

The four men sitting around eating meat reacted quickly, and someone shot at the scene.

Looking at the bullets fired by a shuttle, Qin Ming took a step back and avoided the attack just right.

These people are not at the level of general energy, but they react quickly and decisively, without any scruples about causing manslaughter.

There are actually many people who are overstressed by this kind of person, so most people will not go to greet strangers, and avoid them if they can, so as not to cause conflicts.

"Who?!" The man with the scar on his head whispered.

"Passing by." Qin Ming replied.

However, the other party obviously didn't believe it, and being able to come out of it when he passed by was simply insulting his IQ.

"What are you kidding me?!"

As soon as the man with the scar took out a grenade from his pocket, he was stopped by a middle-aged man wearing dark green body armor next to him, "Third child, don't be impulsive, don't shoot the two of you." ”

Suppressing the reckless actions of the others, the man looked down the dark corridor.

"This brother, you better explain the situation clearly first, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among everyone."

"There is an underground secret passage in the cellar, we came from other places to avoid the Zerg, just to borrow a passage."

"How many of you?" The man asked in a deep voice, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

"Two."

Hearing such an answer, several men made eye contact with each other.

"Everyone needs a little foundation of trust, so let's come out first."

Qin Ming was the first to walk out, and seeing that he spread out his hands and didn't hold a weapon, the group relaxed a little.

However, after Yu Youzi came out, their eyes suddenly changed slightly, and there was hidden greed and desire.

Seeing a woman in the wilderness, still such a tender and beautiful woman, is simply a treasure.
