The Oasis, where the Resistance is based, is located near the border between the Outlaws and the Badlands, so after Turtledove and the others successfully escaped from the "Halo" urban agglomeration and approached the edge of the Badlands, Landis has been trying to get in touch with the Oasis, but strangely enough, no matter how many times Landis has sent messages to the Oasis via radio, there has never been any response from the Oasis. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This can't help but make Landis feel a little uneasy, I can't say why, Lantis just feels wrong, at the beginning he can comfort and comfort himself, try not to think about the bad side, but as he gets closer and closer to the oasis, there is still no news on the other side of the radio, and now Landis finally can't sit still.

Just now, Lantis contacted the resistance in the oasis again, but to no avail, he stopped the car, called everyone to his side, and told everyone about the situation, of course, the main thing was to tell the four people in the pickup truck in front of him.

Although he pretended to sleep to avoid an embarrassing situation, Natalia's quarrel with Schultz was still listened to by Landis and others, and he knew that Natalia was going to take the worm to Grady and ask the old man about Wings of Freedom, and if there was really something wrong with the Oasis, Landis thought it was necessary for him to talk to the other party first.

"What do you mean you can't contact the oasis?"

Natalia looked at Rantis suspiciously, Rantis didn't like Natalia very much because of Enid's relationship, but he gradually resolved his misunderstanding of her in the recent period of getting along, and not only that, Natalia's earlier performance made Rantis feel that this woman's temper was much hotter than she seemed on the surface, and he must not offend her.

"Actually, I tried to contact the oasis when I just left the 'halo' a few days ago, but I didn't get any response, but at that time it was still far from the oasis, I thought it was this reason that I couldn't get in touch with the oasis, and now I'm on the edge of the barren land, so it shouldn't be like this, how could it be ......"

The big man Rantis babbled on and on a lot of useless nonsense, and it was clear that he had a deep affection for the Oasis, for the Resistance, and for Grady.

"Alright, don't think about it," Turtledove walked over and patted Rantis on the shoulder, "what could happen to the Oasis?" It's impossible for such a big city to fly away, aren't we going to the oasis, if there is something to do, we will see in the next two days, and it won't make any difference for you to worry about it here. ”

"The turtledove is right, it's okay if there's something, just go and see it with your own eyes."

Schultz stepped up at the right time, and he said this not only to Lantis, but also to Natalia.

After such a toss by Lantis, the atmosphere in the next trip will inevitably be a little depressed, especially the "commandos" sitting in the back truck, they are all from the oasis, from the resistance, the current situation of the oasis is unknown, how can they still have the heart to be as heartless as a few days ago, one by one they all become dumb, often no one says a word for a long time.

This is the case in the truck, and the situation on the pickup truck is not much worse, - Natalia and Schultz are not the first time they have quarreled, but it is not that they can be reconciled immediately after the quarrel, they are in a stalemate here, Turtledove only cares about holding the steering wheel, not daring to look at the bug or Natalia again, and only occasionally has eye contact with Schultz.

All in all, everyone's hearts are a gloomy fog, everyone seems to have a haze on their heads, and everyone has their own troubles.

……

Time passed slowly, and the turtledoves were finally about to reach the oasis.

From a distance, the oasis was still as calm as before, and it didn't seem like anything had happened, seeing this scene, Rantis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that when he looked at the oasis, he saw a sea of corpses and blood, and his eyes were full of human limbs and stumps.

As for why this is the case, Landis himself is not very clear.

Rantis couldn't wait to enter the oasis, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and suddenly a hand put on Landis's shoulder, and said, "Captain, something is not right. ”

Turning his head, Lantis noticed that he was talking to the group's observer, "Little Jesa", who was nicknamed because of his short stature and freckles.

Despite his short stature, he is more agile than many others and has excellent observation skills, so Jessa's usual mission is to team up with Earl the sniper and provide Earl with the necessary information support.

"What's wrong?"

Rantis asked, and Jessa motioned for Rantis to stop the car first, and then grabbed the radio and told the pickup truck in front of him not to approach the oasis that had just appeared on the horizon, and then said: "It's blowing the southeast wind right now, and the oasis is in our upwind outlet, do you smell a faint smell of burnt, very faint and light." ”

As he spoke, Jesa also reached out of the window and twisted his fingers: "There's putty in the air." ”

"What's wrong, why did you stop again?"

The turtledove and the others in the front car gathered again on the side of the truck, and Rantis told Jessa what he had said, and the worm sniffed hard, but there was no smell of burnt paste at all, and the worm's sense of smell was the keenest of the four people here, and she didn't smell it, let alone the others.

"To tell you the truth, my nose is much more sensitive than the average person."

The thin and smiling Jesa touched his nose embarrassedly, and he stood next to the little worm, even a few centimeters shorter than the little worm, perhaps because of his short height, Jessa usually doesn't talk much in front of strangers, and only with acquaintances will he say a few more words.

"The target of the vehicle is too big, so let's just do it, Jessa, you go to the front first to see the situation, we are waiting for you here."

As Grady's recognized successor to the Resistance, the more Rantis arrives at this time, the more he can't act rashly, he can't drive back to the oasis immediately, but the lives of these people under his hands are in his hands, and Landis must not act rashly.

"Okay."

Jesa was doing this kind of work in the "commando", and he was completely familiar with reconnaissance and everything, and Ikaruga saw that he was so thin and small, and he was afraid that if something unexpected happened, it would be difficult for Jesa to deal with it.

"I'll go with him."

Turtledove volunteered.

"Alright, then you two together," Landis thought for a moment and nodded, then turned to Jesa who was ready to go, "You'll have to listen to the turtledove when you get into a situation, go ahead." (To be continued.) )
