"Fifteen people were found." The soldier in camouflage uniform untied the strap of the rifle behind his back and said to Chen Mo, "Are we going to start camping, or continue the search and rescue?" ”

"Or go back." Not far away, a man who had just been found by Chen Mo's search and rescue team took a sip of water and proposed.

After conducting a side-by-side search near the Aoyama Plains Safety Zone, Chen Mo's search and rescue team temporarily paused at a four-character intersection in the border security zone. It seems that after a plane fell last night, the mutants in the city were all attracted to the crash point of the plane with even greater movement; There are only a handful of mutants wandering around the Aoyama Safety Zone, which was destroyed by the fire.

But the weather did not seem to be very good, and the rain of the previous days did not seem to dissipate so quickly, and it was almost halfway through the afternoon by this time, and it was two or three hours before the evening came, so it was necessary to start looking for a temporary shelter for the night.

"Hey, we just saved you, and you know how dangerous those who didn't find them are right now." Wu Fei, the female scout, twisted her neck and unceremoniously blocked the man's mouth. That momentum couldn't help but remind Chen Mo of Zhang Xiaoying, who was in danger.

"Let's find a place to spend the night." Chen Mo smiled slightly, "If we continue to look for it today, we may become passive." ”

"Okay, I'm going to take someone to clear a unit building around here."

"Hey, wait." Chen Mo stopped the energetic soldiers, and looked at the overpass at the end of the road, "Isn't that the Qingzhu Interchange?" I remember we had an outpost at the overpass, didn't I? ”

"Yes."

"Then we might as well go there and spend the night. At least safer. ”

"That makes sense, let's get ready to go now." The soldier naturally agreed with Chen Mo's decision, turned around and began to arrange for the search and rescue team to be deployed.

A day of search and rescue operations allowed Chen Mo to quickly establish prestige in the team. Although it is not as exciting as Du Yuheng, and it is not as rigorous and thoughtful as Huang Weizheng, Chen Mo still won the recognition of the people around him.

The search and rescue team soon arrived at the security zone outpost next to the overpass with a hotel sign. After parking the car as close to the entrance of the hotel as possible, everyone got out of the car, but the soldier in charge of security still asked to check the situation in the hotel first; The door of the hotel was wide open, there were a few bullet holes on the door, and with the pool of blood on the ground, no one dared to guarantee that it was absolutely safe.

In order to speed up the inspection work, Chen Mo and a few daring scouts followed two professionally trained professional soldiers into the outpost, which had been abandoned by the security zone. After a catastrophe, Aoyama's combatants have basically returned to square one, or even worse. There were not many special combat teams stationed in the Hexagonal Tower, and there were only a few scouts and military soldiers who escaped from the security zone, and the vast majority of the people who were now operating with Chen Mo had only received simple training. As for combat ability, not to mention those experienced scouts in the past, there are not even a few people like Du Yuheng. The injured Wei Hong did not act with Chen Mo this time, which means that Chen Mo had to rely on these newly recognized comrades-in-arms around him.

The empty hotel lobby was a mess, and the rotten corpses of mutants lying in front of the reception counter reminded everyone who came here of the fate of being careless. The two soldiers who took the lead glanced at each other, and one of them made a tactical gesture to the scout behind him, Chen Mo and the others, signaling three teams to inspect the rooms on the upper floor and the left and right sides of the first floor. Chen Mo was not a scout, and he didn't know much about those combat essentials. It was only now that she realized that she had been under the protection of Du Yuheng and them since the outbreak of the crisis, and it could even be said that she had survived until now.

There are a total of ten people in Chen Mo's search and rescue team this time, except for her and the three military special operations teams, the others are former Qingshan scouts, ironically, the commander of this operation turned out to be Chen Mo who has no combat awareness and experience, but fortunately, the team members trust her, and she herself has lived up to expectations.

"Okay, everything is safe." After confirming the situation on the first and second floors, a soldier lifted their guard, "The stairs leading to the upper floors have been blocked. I took a look and should give no problem. We can stay here tonight. ”

"Okay, let's let the people outside come in quickly." Chen Mo put away her weapon, a Type 64 pistol that Wu Fei gave her.

"The three of us who are soldiers, we will arrange for two of us to be on standby in the armored vehicle tonight, and if there is any danger, we can take care of it." The soldier who was the squad leader suggested.

Wu Fei said with some incomprehension: "No need, there shouldn't be any danger." You can't get a good rest when you're crammed into that thing. ”

"It's okay, it's better to keep an eye on it." The team leader smiled and politely rejected Wu Fei.

After the team leader turned around and left, only Wu Fei and Chen Mo were left to linger in the corridor on the second floor. The wider aisles didn't feel too oppressive, a few rays of sunlight slanted through the end of the corridor, and the dusty windows showed two or three spots of light on the plum-red carpet.

"Hey," finding that Chen Mo was a little absent-minded, Wu Fei asked half-jokingly, "Are you worried about your little boyfriend?" ”

"What, what a little boyfriend!" Chen Mo, who was still staring at him a second ago, suddenly blushed and said nervously, "Who still has the kung fu to worry about him at this time!" ”

"Him?"

Wu Fei's casual question made Chen Mo incoherent, so Chen Mo had no choice but to smirk perfunctorily: "Ahaha! It's great that nothing happened. ”

"Little sister, don't be nervous, I'm just asking." Wu Fei smiled bitterly, she didn't want to embarrass Chen Mo.

Wu Fei was about to stop this embarrassing topic, but she didn't expect Chen Mo to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "Hey! That ......"

"Huh?" Wu Fei really guessed correctly, Chen Mo did have something on her mind, and she turned around and motioned for the ignorant girl to continue.

"Do you think Du Yuheng will be safe? Because...... Several of our friends have been separated since yesterday...... Du Yuheng, Wei Liqin, Min Xuan and Long Hao...... There are also Huang Weizheng and Sister Xiaoying...... Everyone has finally come to this point, and now ......" As he spoke, Chen Mo's clear eyes gradually moistened, flickering in the swaying halo.

"Don't worry, as long as you keep sticking to your beliefs, you will definitely meet again." Wu Fei shook her head with a smile, as gentle as a big sister who was coaxing her younger sister, but she didn't expect her to change her words and tease Chen Mo again, "It seems that you really care about that boy named Du Yuheng." ”

"How is that possible! Even if he is really the only man in the world, I will not be with him! That guy is so nasty! Brainless all day! Du Yuheng's topic seems to be the switch of Chen Mo's emotional changes, as long as he talks about him, no matter how spiritless Chen Mo is, he will point out his various shortcomings endlessly.

Wu Fei smiled: "This is not like the Du Yuheng you said last night." ”

"Anyway, that's it! Compared with...... Or Huang Weizheng is the best. Chen Mo's tone slowed down a lot, as if she was caught in a gentle thought.

"Huang Weizheng? The same boy who brought the vaccine in question to Aoyama? Speaking of this name, Wu Fei's tone was inevitably a little complaining.

Chen Mo hurriedly defended: "It's not wrong for him, but I believe he definitely didn't mean to do it!" If someone wants to harm us, Huang Weizheng will definitely be the first to stand up against it! ”

"Looks like you trust him." Looking at Chen Mo's sworn appearance, Wu Fei smiled.

"That's for sure, he's much more reliable than Du Yuheng's stupid! Thoughtful, gentle, and witty! He has always been protecting us all the way to Nanning! Chen Mo seems to be unable to stop praising Huang Weizheng, and wants to write a poem to praise every deed of him.

Wu Fei didn't know Huang Weizheng's personality, but listening to Chen Mo's praise that day, she had a question. "How do I feel that the boy named Huang Weizheng you said is like the savior hero protagonist in those American movies, so why didn't he stay in Qingshan with you, but went to Wanxiang?"

"This ...... It's because he has to find a way to cure Du Yuheng's illness, and he has no choice but to do it......" Chen Mo also didn't know much about the reason why Huang Weizheng went to Wanxiang, but she hoped that the truth would be as she said, "Anyway, Huang Weizheng is hundreds of times better than Du Yuheng!" ”

"Okay." Regarding Chen Mo's evaluation, Wu Fei only went in and out of her left ear, as long as she could cheer up this girl again. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "In the future, I will have the opportunity to introduce this big hero in your mind to me." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Chen Mo nodded again and again, but she actually had some doubts in her heart about what she had just said; Not all, but some of them always make her a little unpredictable, although this is not surprising, after all, such a complex thing as feelings is a barometer that any girl in the flower season cannot grasp.

The small talk between the two sisters did not last long, and after a while, a scout who came from a room brought them back to reality with a serious face and a mysterious tone. "We've found something over there, you'd better come and take a look."

When Chen Mo and Wu Fei heard this, they realized that something unusual should be waiting for them, so they followed the scout to a room full of supplies without saying a word. This room used to be a large three-person suite, with the windows by the street nailed by thick planks, but you can still see through the cracks on the street. There was not a single bed in the room, but instead there were a few small chair cabinets and two or three large wooden boxes containing a lot of unopened food and some other household supplies.

"At least we'll have a full meal tonight." After rummaging through the boxes of supplies, the Scout laughed.

"Oh! That canned yellow peach is mine. Wu Fei found a jar of canned fruit in the wooden box at a glance.

The scout shrugged and said that it was all right, that everyone was like a thug who had snuck into someone's house and looted it and was going back and forth in the room looking for something useful. Although there was no bed in the room, Chen Mo, like everyone else, could still roughly tell the original bed of the people who were stationed here in the past or Qingshan. The two small mattresses in the center of the room and the two or three blankets leaning against the wall were probably the beds of the people who had been there.

There was a blackened mark between the two mattresses in the middle of the room, which experienced scouts said was evidence that someone had set up a small stove there; The so-called small stove is a small solid alcohol heating stove used for camping, and Chen Mo has seen Du Yuheng use it in the past.

The scout, who was exploring the traces of the room, picked up a few blackened rags with a knife on a small coffee table with a kerosene lamp, held them in front of Chen Mo and Wu Fei, and then pointed to the used medical equipment on the coffee table with his chin, and said, "No matter who has stayed here, it seems that some of them have been injured." ”

"And it is estimated that the injured person will not live long," the scout who led Chen Mo and Wu Fei to this room stepped forward and sniffed the blackened blood stains on the rags, "This person was bitten by a mutant." ”

"How do you know?"

"After being bitten by a mutant, the blood infected with the virus has a strange smell, similar to the smell of burnt rice." Chen Mo's question was immediately answered by Wu Fei, and judging from her expression, Wu Fei also expressed pity for the injured person, so she didn't know who that person was, or where he was.

"And this man was shot." The Scout put the strip of cloth back in his pocket, just in time to find a twisted warhead and bloody tweezers on a small plate on the coffee table.

One of the scouts was alarmed, "Hey, I think it's better for us not to go into this room." ”

"Well, yes, remember to remind the others later."

Chen Mo's calm arrangement did not completely reassure the two scouts, they looked at each other, and one of them suddenly asked, "What if that person is still here?" ”

This unsettling question immediately fermented, just as the mutated virus spread rapidly, and the otherwise safe hotel suddenly made people feel in danger.

"I think that person should go." Wu Fei, who felt a little self-deceived, analyzed seriously, "You see, he took away the small stove he was going to use, and there are no other packages here, if he just wanders around here or becomes a zombie here, then there must be something left." Besides, we've just checked that these two floors are absolutely safe. ”

"Maybe we were overlooked just now?"

"Then check again." Chen Mo, who was cheered up by Wu Fei's words, smiled, "Don't scare yourself." We'll check it out again later. Seeing that the scout was still skeptical, Chen Mo gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's really not good, we'll all stay in the room tonight, don't move around easily." That's all right, right? ”

Although the whereabouts of the injured infected person were still unknown, Chen Mo's warm smile made the two scouts temporarily put aside their worries. But at this moment, a loud bang came from a few blocks away, which simply startled the four people who were doubting their safety. They instinctively crouched down and then looked through the cracks in the windows and the corridors to find the source of the explosions.

The loud noise made the ground tremble, and the vehicles on the street that were still powered by the burglar alarm sounded, and through the gap, Chen Mo could see a long white smoke floating up in the sky a few streets away, in the direction of the edge of the dead city forest.

"Is it the plane that fell?" The scout, who was also watching beside Chen Mo, asked.

"It doesn't seem to be ......" Before leaving early this morning, Zhang Xizheng and Captain Zuo told Chen Mo the approximate location where the plane fell, and gave her an instruction map. Although Chen Mo was basically sure that the explosion did not come from the wrecked plane, she still took out the map and made a comparison again, "Well, there should still be some distance from the location of the plane, and it is still quite far." ”
