Chen Mo tore off the long side of his T-shirt, tied it as a bandage for Wei Hong, and comforted: "It seems that your method is more useful." ”

Wei Hong looked at Chen Mo and smiled bitterly: "Hehe, believe me now." ”

"Your tone is a bit like Du Yuheng." Chen Mo said with a smile after helping Wei Hong tie up a circle of bandages.

"You ......" Wei Hong just wanted to speak, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xizheng, who was concentrating on taking care of his daughter, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be with him?" ”

"He went to find Huang Weizheng......"

"You'd better not mention Huang Weizheng for the time being, or even Du Yuheng...... "Wei Hong warned in a low voice, "Now the people here probably want to pick the skin of the two of them." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Do you know what's going on behind them?"

Chen Mo shook her head worriedly, in fact, when Wei Hong warned her, what flashed in her mind was Du Yuheng's cynical appearance, but Chen Mo kept telling herself that she should be most worried about Huang Weizheng.

"Hey, hey, Chen Mo." Wei Hong saw Chen Mo staring blankly ahead, and rubbed her shoulder with concern.

Chen Mo suddenly came back to his senses, stared at the big eyes and responded, "What, what? ”

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay! Of course it's fine! Chen Mo smirked incoherently, "What's fine!" I guess I'm asking you if there's anything wrong! ”

The stupid Chen Mo only cared about justifying the idea that others didn't know about just now, forgetting the environment they were in now, and the volume of his speech was inadvertently amplified a lot; After attracting the attention of the people around him, he pursed his lips embarrassedly, bent over, curled up against the wall of the car with his hands and legs.

"That...... Wei Hong......"

"What?"

"You said Du Yuheng...... Uh, Du Yuheng and Huang Weizheng, will they be okay? Chen Mo lowered her head, and she didn't know why her eyes were gradually moistening.

"Well, it'll be fine, they're not going to die so easily."

"You still look like he ......"

Although Wei Hong didn't know who "he" was in Chen Mo's mouth, he only knew at this time that Huang Weizheng, who was not shocked in his eyes, must have a way to get out of trouble, as for Du Yuheng......

"Besides," Wei Hong paused for the words in his mouth, Chen Mo looked at him with teary eyes half curiously and half expectantly, Wei Hong thought about it and smiled, "Besides, the Du Yuheng I recognize is a cheap bone." I guess at this moment, he is still thinking about how to count you down after you reunite. ”

Chen Mo, who was amused by Wei Hong, wiped his tears while laughing and said, "That's right, he's so annoying, so annoying......"

"We're here!" A long-lost piece of good news suddenly came from the cab, and the people in the car were immediately excited.

Zhang Xizheng hurriedly signaled everyone to stay calm, and then said to the soldiers in the cockpit: "Try the code first." ”

"Understood." The soldier sitting in the commander's seat carefully opened the top cover, looked out slightly to observe the dark surroundings for a moment, and then typed a series of light points with a flashlight to the location of the hexagonal tower, which should be what they called the safety point.

After about ten seconds, a point of light suddenly flashed in the dark sky, flashing with obvious regularity, as if it was a response to the soldier's code just now. The soldier who received the response excitedly closed the lid and sat back in his seat and said, "Great, they are still there." ”

The driver, who was looking ahead with his night vision device, confirmed: "That's right, they opened the door, I know that lucky bastard, I didn't expect him to be stationed here!" ”

It seems that the people at the safe rendezvous point are their own people, and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone's hanging hearts were lowered by the warm lights and friendly soldiers' faces when the doors of the armored vehicles opened. The garrison team set up a hidden garage out of tarpaulin under the hexagonal tower, and judging by the way they covered their tracks, the combat level of this team was definitely not ordinary.

In addition to the two cars that Zhang Xizheng and his group came from, there were also two cars parked in the garage, one of which was a blackened green armored car, if I guessed correctly, the mayor and they should have arrived here safely.

"We're not in a good position either." The team leader stationed in the Hexagonal Tower guided Zhang Xizheng and the higher-ranking soldier of his accompanying team to the top floor of the Hexagonal Tower, which was the command center of this safety point.

"Mayor, how are they?"

About to come to the highest floor of this ancient tower that was not too high, the team leader suddenly stopped, faced Zhang Xizheng and said solemnly: "Mayor she...... Didn't come here. ”

"What? This, this can't be! Zhang Xizheng was surprised, "They should have evacuated Qingshan earlier than us." ”

"But so far, only about fifty people have come to this safe place, and there are only about seventy of you, and you ...... Professor Zhang is the Supreme Commander who has arrived here at present. ”

"What do you mean......"

"That's right, Camp Commander Yang didn't come to the Hexagonal Tower either. Judging by our latest list of Aoyama leaders, you are currently the top leader of the Hexagonal Tower. The squad leader stood up and saluted Zhang Xizheng with a standard military salute, "I am the squad leader of the safety point of the Qingshan Hexagonal Tower, Zuo Yunxiu." ”

Saying that, Zuo Yunxiu gave in sideways, Zhang Xizheng was a little flattered and climbed to the top of the hexagonal tower, in front of the square table placed in front of him, a soldier was concentrating on taking a headset and using the radio to carefully look for the distress signals that the survivors might send, and after finding that Zhang Xizheng and others had gone up the tower, the soldier immediately sat up and saluted Zhang Xizheng.

Zuo Yunxiu took Zhang Xizheng to the desk belonging to the Supreme Commander and said, "This will be your position from now on......"

Before Zuo Yunxiu's words were finished, Zhang Xizheng interrupted: "It's just temporary. I'm sure Mayor Liao will get here safely. ”

"You're right. But until then, the people of the Hexagon Tower will follow your instructions. Zuo Yunxiu straightened his waist and stood behind Zhang Xizheng, I am afraid that the highest loyalty of a soldier is nothing more than this.

Zhang Xizheng did not immediately sit in the position belonging to the Supreme Commander, he stood at his desk, staring at a map of the Nanning region fixed with magnets on the whiteboard next to him, and the notes for the tasks next to him. Zuo Yunxiu did not disturb Zhang Xizheng, who was in deep thought, nor did he leave, but stood motionless. The military tarpaulin, which hangs on the six hollow walls of this top-floor command center, in order to shelter from the wind and rain and at the same time cover the lights in the tower at night, makes a fluttering sound under the blowing of the mountain wind at night, and the sound of people talking can be faintly heard under the tower.

After two or three minutes, Zhang Xizheng came back to his senses like a robot that had rewired, straightened his glasses, and calmly said to Zuo Yunxiu, who was waiting for orders behind him: "Captain Zuo, please come over and report to me in twenty minutes about the current situation you have." ”

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as they got out of the armored vehicle, several soldiers-like men and three or four men and women in civilian clothes stepped forward and hurriedly evacuated the wounded and assisted in the placement of the new arrivals. Chen Mo took Wei Hong and a few wounded and sick people to the underground floor of the hexagonal tower under their guidance.

Pushing open the thickened wooden door and entering the basement, the surrounding furnishings immediately reminded Chen Mo of the guerrilla headquarters in the movie. The basement was filled with boxes and buckets of supplies, guards along the way, and oil lamps made from cans hung on the walls, which resembled the yellow glow of large old light bulbs.

The basement is not very large, and the patient is placed not far from the entrance, where several beds are placed, and a medical screen separates a place, and the other end of the screen is the so-called operating room. The entire infirmary was barely kept to a minimum in the chaos of a field hospital, and took up almost the vast majority of the basement. In addition to this, there are some elderly people in the basement, some supplies and power distribution equipment.

Because Wei Hong's previous rough way of stopping bleeding was not appropriate, in order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, the medical staff still did some treatment for him. As for the survivor with the broken leg, it seems that he was not so lucky, and his wails were heard from the operating room almost all night, so much so that people had to close the basement door to prevent the mutants from being drawn.

Chen Mo helped the medical staff of the hexagonal tower take care of the wounded until about 5 a.m. before they were able to rest; After several hours of surgery, the condition of the wounded with severed legs has largely stabilized, and the other survivors who suffered minor injuries and frightening have largely gone to rest. Washing away the dry black blood stains on her hands, Chen Mo came to the ground alone, hoping to take a breath and not think about what she saw and heard just now, but she didn't expect that no matter how she did it, her nose seemed to be filled with a smell of blood, and her mind seemed to be replaying everything that happened yesterday.

The night before dawn didn't expect it to be so cold, Chen Mo held his hands and exhaled hot air, walked to the workshop where he hadn't had time to plan and place the vehicle, leaned against a large wooden box and took out a crumpled photo, this photo was taken with a Polaroid camera by their group of friends before they were about to leave for Baise to participate in volunteer activities, and now this is a rare one that can make Chen Mo still recall the fetters of the world before the crisis broke out.

"This is your previous photo?" Suddenly, Wei Hong's voice came from behind Chen Mo, which frightened Chen Mo's hands and the photo fell to the ground.

Wei Hong helped Chen Mo pick up the photo and said to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." After Chen Mo took the photo, he stared at the photo and thought for a while.

"You all seem to have changed a lot." Wei Hong glanced at the person in the photo and said with a smile.

"yes, I really want to go back in time." After Chen Mo was finally intoxicated, he put away the photo, and asked after a while, "Ah, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"Yes, that...... Professor Zhang seems to be the Supreme Commander here......"

When Chen Mo heard this, he hurriedly interrupted: "What? Liao Daiping, what about Mayor Liao? ”

"She and Camp Commander Yang's car did not arrive here, and at present, according to Tsingshan's personnel arrangement, Professor Zhang can take over all the work in the Tsingshan Security Zone."

Chen Mo was unconvinced: "Why him?" I mean, isn't he the Aoyama with us? Why did he become the mayor of Aoyama-ri and the third-in-command of the military commander so quickly? ”

"I don't know." Wei Hong shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Now is not the time to talk about this, just now the team leader of the Hexagon Tower reported to the professor about our current situation, and now Professor Zhang is ready to arrange our next action plan." Although the meeting was not completely public, I thought you would definitely want to go with me to listen, so ......"

"Well, of course! You also know what kind of person he is, and you can't do it without guarding against him. Chen Mo squinted, as if he saw Zhang Xizheng himself, and puffed out his mouth and complained.

"Hehe, I don't object to you saying that, but I think it's best for us not to publicize the fact that he framed Du Yuheng at the moment, because we don't fully grasp the whole situation, and there is no evidence for him to admit this."

"That's right, listen to you." Chen Mo shook his feet tremblingly, and motioned for Wei Hong to lead the way quickly.

When the two of them arrived on the first floor of the hexagonal tower, which looked to be a temporary reporting room, Zhang Xizheng's announcement meeting had already begun, and in addition to them, there were some men and women in camouflage and the appearance of Qingshan scouts; Since most of the people were still resting at this time, there were not many people in the debriefing room, and there were only about a dozen people at a glance.

“…… I don't approve of your plan for tomorrow, now we are all tired, the search and rescue effect is definitely not ideal, and I think there should be people coming here tomorrow, if we just look around here so hastily, there will be unnecessary losses, and a waste of manpower. As the meeting seemed to enter the discussion stage, a young female scout in a denim jacket and a ponytail raised her hand and said, "I think tomorrow we should continue to work on the hexagonal tower at hand, and the key is to find a way to improve the equipment here." ”

The female scout's opinion was agreed by many people, Zhang Xizheng smiled awkwardly, and replied: "That, your proposal is good, but now is the best time for search and rescue, our two armored vehicles can provide strong protection during search and rescue, everyone can rest assured." ”

"You mean, we're going back to the old safe zone? Damn, I don't want to go to that place, at least not yet! A man hiding in the corner grumbled, "It's absolutely full of zombies right now, isn't it a death to go there?" ”

"That's right! And also! What are you going to do with that plane last night? The female scout who had just spoken raised her hand again and asked.

"Well, after observation and judgment, that plane currently fell in the dead city forest near the city center after the third middle school, and in terms of our current manpower and material resources, we really have no way to investigate it."

"But that's the only thing we've seen so far that might have a connection to the outside world, and if we ignore it, will we lose an opportunity to contact survivors in other regions?" Another man with Zhang Xiangsiwen asked.

"There's really nothing you can do about it......"

"You can't do anything, why should we make you a leader?" This point-to-point questioning immediately caused an uproar.

"I, I am the first person to take over the management according to the previous procedural arrangement of Aoyama, which I have explained just now. I know you're all upset about your situation because of what happened yesterday......"

", of course I'm upset! So many people died at once yesterday, just because you people were making that bullshit deal with Wanxiang, and besides, you shouldn't have taken in that little ghost surnamed Du and those people in the first place! ”

"Hey! Aren't you the one who came to Castle Peak with them in the first place? Now that you've caused so many things, why should you be the boss? ”

The voices of doubts and complaints came one after another, and seeing that people's emotions were about to get out of control, Zuo Yunxiu, who had been standing behind Zhang Xizheng and kept silent, suddenly shouted in a voice as loud as rolling thunder: "Quiet! ”

The audience became silent after this command-like roar, everyone looked at Zuo Yunxiu, thinking that he would take over Zhang Xizheng's command, but who knew that he retreated to his position and nodded politely to Zhang Xizheng: "You continue." ”

Zhang Xizheng smiled gratefully at Zuo Yunxiu, then turned around, cleared his throat, and just wanted to get back to business, but at this time, Chen Mo, who was standing close to the door with Wei Hong, suddenly said loudly: "I have something to say!" ”

Everyone standing in front of Chen Mo invariably turned their heads to look for the owner of this weak-sounding voice. Chen Mo, who was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes at once, glanced at Wei Hong tremblingly; Wei Hong nodded and smiled at her firmly, suggesting that she continue.

So Chen Mo mustered up his courage and said in a still trembling tone: "There are some things that my friends don't recommend me to say now, but at this moment, I still decide to do it." Du Yuheng is my friend, and several of our friends came to Qingshan together. Suffice it to say that we are all good people, and we didn't think about causing you any trouble in the past, let alone what happened yesterday. I also understand your suspicions about Du Yuheng, but please believe that we definitely didn't deliberately bring you any catastrophe! We are all lucky enough to survive the apocalypse, haven't we yet discovered that unity is the greatest guarantee that we can survive? If Aoyama can't unite now, then this safe zone will eventually be forgotten, and if we can't all be united, then this crisis will not be able to survive for everyone! After saying these words in one breath, Chen Mo didn't know where the courage came from, she couldn't help but straighten her waist, raise her head and take a deep breath and continued, "Some of you blame me and my friends for this tragedy in Qingshan, then please let me end yesterday's disaster." Tomorrow I'll go to the original safe zone for you to search for survivors, and then go to the site where the plane crashed to investigate, while the rest of the Hexagon Tower can continue to strengthen the facilities here. We want to improve this place as soon as possible and build the hexagonal tower into a new Qingshan safety zone! I didn't do this to be reckless, but to prove to those who are still skeptical that my friends and I are both members of Aoyama and victims of this disaster. ”

After Chen Mo finished speaking, there was silence in the report room, under the dim light, everyone's eyes flashed with a warm light, a few seconds later, people gradually recovered from the admiration for Chen Mo just now, I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then there was a shout and applause in support of Chen Mo in the report room.

"Little sister, I support you!" The female scout who kept picking on Zhang Xizheng just now stepped forward, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and smiled, "My name is Wu Fei, and we are sisters!" From now on, I'll get through it with you! ”

"Our brother also supports you."

"So do we!"

Gradually, people gathered around Chen Mo and cheered for her, some took the initiative to invite Ying to join her team, and some promised to support all her proposals in the future. Only Zhang Xizheng stood helplessly in front of the reporting desk, still trying to get people to restore order as requested.

After Zhang Xizheng's several attempts were fruitless, Zuo Yunxiu took a half-small step beside Zhang Xizheng and said calmly: "Professor Zhang, I suggest that you better support that girl's proposal now, otherwise, the opposition to you will be even louder." ”

"I know this......" Zhang Xizheng slapped his hands on the debriefing table depressedly, buried his head in a long sigh, and finally compromised and said to everyone, "Okay! Everybody! Tomorrow, Chen Mo will lead a search and rescue investigation team to the ruins of the old security zone to search for survivors in the vicinity as much as possible, and then set off to investigate the plane that fell in the forest. In addition, in support of this operation, I have decided to send a three-member military team to accompany you, while the search and rescue investigation team has access to an armored vehicle. ”

"What a afterthought......," someone in the crowd whispered a sarcastic remark.

The meeting, which seemed to have made Zhang Xizheng raise his eyebrows, ended hastily. At this time, it was already half-dawn, and Wei Hong suggested that Chen Mo should hurry up and rest again, after all, starting tomorrow would definitely be an unprecedented adventure for this kind and docile girl.
