Chapter 3 Under the Gun
Huang Weizheng stopped the car, and no one else except me got out of the car, and at my request, they were locked up. When I got out of the car, my gun still didn't drop because of the man's words, and any stranger at this time might have bad intentions.
"Stand there!" My index finger was always on the trigger, ready for a possible surprise attack, "Who are you?" ”
"Kid, can't you see? I'm from the troops. The man's hands were kept in front of his chest, both as a sign to calm me down and as a sign that he was not hostile. The camouflage uniform on his body was stained with mud and blood, and his left leg was simply bandaged with rags with a few laps of trousers, and the whole person looked depressed, and the stubble on his face looked no different from that of a drunk on the street.
"Forget it, just find a soldier corpse and put it in their uniform, and it's the army? I've got a gun! ”
"I know that." The man wasn't too tall, and his stiff twitching smile made me feel a little disgusted, "But I'm really from the army." Baise lost contact with the Tianyang base, and we were in charge of investigating the situation in Baise, but we met those zombies here, and my comrades-in-arms died yesterday to save me...... I'm also injured and can't go back to the Tianyang base......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." I interrupted the man impatiently.
Seeing that I was concerned about the wound on his leg, the man quickly bent down and tore open a little bandaged rag and explained: "Look, it's a gunshot wound, not a bite!" ”
I took a closer look, and it was exactly as he said, but even so, I was not convinced that he was a soldier. After a moment of stalemate, I overheard that his armband was the same as the Soldier mutant we had killed earlier, and his epaulettes also told me about his rank as a 2nd non-commissioned officer.
"You now look at me and tell me the armband pattern of the unit you belong to, and your rank." I suddenly felt a kind of excitement when I claimed the prize, and the man was stunned by this, so I immediately urged, "Quick! ”
"Good, good!" Seeing that my tone was excited, the man hurriedly complied, "Uh, it's a sword, go up...... There's a snake wrapped around it......"
"Military rank."
"I'm just a non-commissioned officer, two-two-two...... Second Class Non-Commissioned Officer! ”
"Du Yuheng." Huang Weizheng, who was in the driver's seat, had been paying attention to our conversation, and he leaned over the side driver's seat and said to me outside the door, "He should be from the army." ”
"Are you sure?" I glanced at Huang Weizheng, "What if it's not?" ”
"Why did you suddenly become so careful?"
"Don't be noisy!" Chen Mo in the back row was stopped by me as soon as he interjected.
"Yes, yes, yes, but ......"
"Just what?"
"It's nothing, let him get in the car. He also said just now that he knows the way to the Tianyang base, which will also help us. ”
"Okay then." After making up my mind, I shouted to the soldier who was still standing there and did not dare to act rashly, "Get in the car, I was offended just now." ”
"Ah, thank you so much! You're doing the right thing! Seeing that I had let down my vigilance, the soldier's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he didn't forget to greet me when he approached, "Your name is Du Yuheng, right?" It looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, but I didn't expect it to look like a man. ”
"Oh? Oh, thanks. I couldn't help but puff up with joy after not getting a compliment from anyone for a long time, but after thinking for a while, I still said to him, "Oh yes, you sit in the back row, it doesn't seem that you can move very easily." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you."
"Chen Mo, you sit in the passenger seat." Seeing that the soldier was walking towards the back door, I hurriedly bowed my head and said to Chen Mo.
"Why?"
"You know."
"What do I know?"
"Oh, don't ask, you'll go if you tell you to go!"
In desperation, Chen Mo had no choice but to reluctantly open the door and let the soldier sit in her seat, while she sat in the passenger seat with a stinky face. I followed the soldier into the car and sat next to him, in fact the pistol I had in my pocket on the side of the door was loaded but without the safety open, and I was worried about what this unknown guy would do.
The car started again, and I glanced at the guy next to me, who took a look at everyone in the car and leaned comfortably on the back of the couch to close his eyes and take a nap. Ban Zhiyu, who was sitting on the other side of the back row, had the same unfriendly first impression of the guy as I did, and although I didn't know why, it was an extra pair of eyes that could stare at him.
I gently kicked the backrest of the driver's seat, Huang Weizheng looked at me curiously through the rearview mirror, I took advantage of this time to make a look at him, and he immediately said with understanding: "Hey, Brother Bing, you haven't told us your name yet." ”
"Oh! Excuse me. My name is Hwang Chanmin, you can call me Brother Minmin. ”
I smiled darkly at the window, and I had to admire this guy's self-familiarity. Think about it, at this time, only by having a good relationship with the people around you can you be more likely to live, maybe he doesn't have any other meaning, just a way to survive.
"You just said you were from the Tianyang base?" Huang Weizheng continued to ask.
"Yes, we have set up a temporary command center at the air base in Tianyang."
"Do you know what the hell is going on? How could it suddenly become like a zombie movie......" Chen Mo suddenly turned around and showed a sad face, making it difficult for us to sit in the back row.
"Uh...... I'm just an ordinary non-commissioned officer, and I don't know much about too much information. Before the mission, we were reminded not to have close contact with those suspicious people, and to report any arrest or bite immediately. Huang Canmin took out the small notebook in his jacket pocket and continued, "Na, this is what I have." The unknown virus has broken out in many places across the country, and the serious epidemic areas include Yunnan, Guizhou, Xianggui and most of the eastern coastal areas. It is currently estimated to be transmitted through saliva, while airborne transmission cannot be ruled out. The infected person has a high fever that does not go away, there will be different degrees of vomiting and nausea symptoms, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as a common disease such as influenza, and will wake up in about half an hour after a coma, the skin is pale, the surface wound and the pupil are pale green, photophobia and yin, manic temperament is super aggressive, very threatening at night, eager to bite the surrounding people, loss of reason is extremely dangerous, it is recommended to shoot on the spot in an uncontrollable situation. ”
"Oh my God...... It's terrible......" After listening to Huang Canmin's explanation, Chen Mo opened his eyes as always, and turned back to his position in fear.
"According to you, it's no different from a zombie crisis."
"It's really no different, and I'm not afraid to tell you, the top is out of control, and those big cities are basically out of control."
"Even then, there's nothing we can do, and we can't just rely on you soldiers." I interjected, "Speaking of which, when it comes to the Tianyang base, we won't be arrested as some kind of experiment, right?" ”
"I don't think so, but I might have to quarantine for a few days."
Our conversation lasted for nearly 40 minutes, mostly about our views on the pandemic and where we go from here. Huang Canmin didn't do anything out of the ordinary, with his help we bypassed Tianyang City through a small road, although the distance may be longer, but there are indeed a lot fewer mutants on the road. It was getting dark, so we decided to rest on a flat ground with a better view for safety. After one more person, the space in the car immediately narrowed a lot, and the air in the car became more stuffy, so much so that Huang Weizheng opened the sunroof at Chen Mo's begging.
I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark, and the wilderness was silent again after nightfall. When I woke up from a dazed sleep, I suddenly felt that my surroundings had become a lot more relaxed, and I just wanted to adjust my posture with a happy face and continue to close my eyes and rest, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong. I pulled my eyelids and glanced at the situation around me, and immediately noticed the abnormality - Hwang Chanmin was missing! The car door next to Ban Zhiyu was wide open, and this thin four-eyed boy was naturally knocked unconscious by Huang Canmin. I quickly woke everyone in the car, and just as everyone was still panicking, I found another problem, my Type 95 assault rifle was stolen by the bastard.
I was really upset to be teased, and I immediately wanted to open the door and rush to catch the bastard. Maybe God gave me a chance to turn the tables on this unlucky ghost, and as soon as I opened the door, I found Huang Canmin who had just wanted to burrow into the woods.
"Don't move!" As soon as I broke the safe, I immediately fired a shot at a tree trunk next to him, "One more step and you'll let me go to Hades." ”
"Okay, okay, you take it easy......" Realizing that I was no longer just a simple threat, Huang Canmin didn't dare to act rashly, so he turned around obediently and said, "I didn't expect you to have a gun." ”
"It's for you."
"Hahaha, that's amazing."
"Why go? Isn't it okay in the morning? ”
"Yes, you're all good people, I know that." Huang Canmin lowered his head and smiled, "This is also the reason why I showed you the way to the Tianyang base." ”
"Then why don't you come with us?"
"He's a deserter." Huang Weizheng, who was behind me, said bluntly, "It is estimated that the gunshot wound on his leg was caused by the soldier mutant we killed this morning." ”
"That's right! This little brother's reasoning is very true. We were supposed to go on a reconnaissance mission together, but when I saw the zombie hordes, I suggested that I run for my life with him, but the idiot said that he couldn't escape if he wanted to sacrifice his life for the country, and he wanted to take me back to the base. Huang Canmin lowered his head and sneered, "So I want to make his dream come true, who knew that his dog thing was so hard, he was shot twice and chased me for a few meters, and I was shot by him." It's a pity that he was bitten by a zombie who came out halfway in the mud, so I could take advantage of this to get out. ”
"Look at you, you're still a soldier."
"When a catastrophe comes, survival is the most important thing."
Seeing Huang Canmin's righteous appearance, I really wanted to rush forward and give him a punch, but in fact, I had a better choice.
"How is it, Du Yuheng? Let me go, this will not have any effect on you, and if you want to expose me at the Tianyang base tomorrow, I have no opinion. ”
"Hmph, how do you want me to explain to the real man who fell there this morning?"
"Ahaha! I knew you were going to say that. Instead of feeling afraid, Hwang Chanmin, who was holding his hands, asked proudly, "Then are you going to kill me?" To be honest, I'm sure you've killed zombies, but what about the living? Did you do it? ”
When he said this, I realized that this was the first time that a gun had been pointed at a living person. Think about how you reacted when you first faced a mutant, and you should understand how difficult it can be to kill a living person. However, my hesitant reaction betrayed me, and these few seconds were the best time for the well-trained Hwang Chanmin to fight back, and he naturally did not waste it.
With the sound of a gunshot, I saw a spark flickering in his head, and immediately felt a chill in my chest under my right collarbone, followed by a warm current. Instinctively, I stroked my soaked shirt with my hand, and when I looked down, it was a bright red. Shot? Before I could confirm whether I had hurt the vital point, my mind suddenly went blank, and in a trance, I could feel my body falling backwards.
I wanted to stand with my hands on the door, but the pain made it impossible for me to stand firmly, so I had to lean against the back wheel of the car and sit with my upper body waiting for Hwang Chanmin's departure. The night sky in the distance intermittently pierced with the low thunder of giant whales, and the lightning wantonly drew cracks in the layers of black clouds, which was a prologue to a classic ending.
Chen Mo's exclamation was the first to break into my eardrums, which was even more deafening than the sound of gunshots, followed by Huang Weizheng's roar that he had never had before: "You bastard! What do you want to do! ”
Huang Weizheng rushed out of the car as if he had kicked the car door open, and just as he wanted to pull out his gun to confront him, Huang Canmin pointed the gun at him like an unpredictable prophet and smiled: "Squeak, if I were you, I wouldn't have taken this risk." ”
In desperation, Huang Weizheng, who had not completely drawn his pistol, had no choice but to put down the gun in his hand and turn around to observe my injury, pressing my wound with his hand, hoping to prevent me from losing too much blood. "Hey, buddy, hold on."
"I'm fine......" Although I didn't know how injured I was when I was shot for the first time, I had to deal with him in order not to worry Huang Weizheng.
"Alright! You don't have to worry about him. Huang Canmin, who was standing on the side and treated him coldly, smiled, "You will all be like him later, maybe you will die a happier death than him." ”
"Why? You're a soldier! Huang Weizheng shouted in his thick voice.
"Yes, I gave you a chance, but your brother doesn't want to leave it at that. Those few gunshots just now are likely to attract all the zombies around, and they have a very sensitive sense of hearing at night, which is not conducive to me leaving this hellish place. Speaking of this, Huang Canmin straightened the body of the gun on his shoulder, put on a posture of waiting to shoot, and continued, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you have to go one step ahead of your friend." ”
Huang Canmin's words are not a good sign, in a hurry, I am looking around for ways to fight back, even if it is a way to deter him! Luckily my pistol landed right next to me, and it was loaded and the safety was open, just like an arrow on the edge waiting for me to pull the trigger and shoot the bastard.
The pounding heart and the instant adrenaline rush made me feel that this moment was so long, and the last courage in my soul prompted me to fight to pick up the gun in hand, and when I fixed my eyes on Huang Canmin, I realized that his muzzle was also aimed at me.
Almost at the same time, the gunfire shook my eardrums, and then I could feel something penetrate my abdomen again, this time I no longer had the strength to support my body to sit upright, my body became even colder, Huang Weizheng's sluggish expression gradually blurred in my vision, and Chen Mo's cry became blurred. I looked sideways and found that Huang Canmin lowered down to pick up the rifle that fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and aimed the gun with his left hand at Huang Weizheng. I really wanted to push this unresponsive fool away, but I lost the strength to scream.
At this moment, the dark night sky suddenly became as bright as day, as if some visitor from outside the world had visited, and the white light was even more dazzling. The bright light blinded my eyes, and I could feel the earth trembling through my fingertips, the air humming, and it wasn't long before the wind blew up, and when my vision barely returned to normal, I was surprised to see something hovering in mid-air, shining a strong searchlight on all of us.
"Lay down your arms now! We are China's emergency investigation and search and rescue brigade, immediately lay down our arms! "After so many days of bad luck, I finally saw a miracle happen tonight, there was a multi-purpose helicopter hovering in the air," repeat, immediately put down your weapons! ”
Huang Canmin was unwilling to drop his rifle, at this time it was impossible for him to escape from the sight of the helicopter shooter, and there was no chance to fight back.
I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I could feel that someone was carrying me into the helicopter on a stretcher, and I didn't have time to get excited when I was on a helicopter for the first time.
"Low blood pressure, bullets in the chest and left abdomen." The voice of a female medical soldier has been lingering in my ears, I really want to see what she looks like, "The bullet penetrated the chest, it should not hurt the internal organs, pay attention to the heartbeat and breathing......
"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Falcon 3, we have found Huang Canmin and a few survivors, two of them were injured, one was shot wounded and one was unconscious, ground crew, please make emergency preparations immediately......"
"Hold on, man!" Someone suddenly grabbed my left hand.
It turned out that the helicopter was flying so unsteadily, it is estimated that Chen Mo should be looking for a vomit bag......
Can we get to Tianyang? So you can see Long Hao and Liang Minxuan's group of people? What a shame......
