Chapter 32: Arriving at the Gathering Place
"You mean let the red wolf lead the way!" Zhang Minghai said in surprise.
"Yes!" The game nodded and shouted at the red wolf, who wagged his tail and galloped over.
Then You Xi cut a rag from a corpse and said to the red wolf, "Can you smell where they came from?" ”
"Wow!"
The red wolf yelled twice, sniffed the rag in You Xi's hand, then sniffed around on the ground, looked up at the game and shouted, "Wangwang! ”
"We're talking about that direction!" Li Man, who was next to him, pointed in the opposite direction of the town and added.
"Wow!" The red wolf barked twice and turned around and walked away, everyone looked at each other, and hurriedly followed, and now they could only rush to the doctor.
Then, the group drove four cars and slowly disappeared into the hazy green fog after the red wolf.
……
The convoy re-drove onto the national highway, and after ten minutes, it turned into a relatively remote branch road, and the weeds on both sides of the road gradually increased, more than one meter high dog tail grass, and there were also knuckle grass knee-high for adults, reflecting the surrounding green fog.
Soon after, a number of low hills began to appear in front of the convoy, and the hills were originally planted with artificial trees, but now most of the trees have withered and died, and only a few have survived and grown stronger.
These artificial forests are like flowers living in a greenhouse before the end of the world, human beings have given them a safe growth environment without natural enemies, but after the end of the world, they need to face the harsh selection of nature again, survival of the fittest, otherwise they will be eliminated, and this principle is also applicable to human beings.
The green fog in front of the road was hazy, and it was difficult to see the situation in the distance, and the convoy continued to drive towards the unknown ahead with the red wolf, and after about an hour, the surrounding hills gradually increased.
After the convoy then rounded several similar hills, the road ahead suddenly opened up, and they were greeted by a vast meadow, the ground was covered with neat and beautiful grass more than a foot high, the breeze was blowing, and the green waves were rippling, and they seemed to be in a sea of green.
"It was supposed to be a golf course before! These grasses seem to be eagle grasses, but I didn't expect them to grow a lot taller! Li Haowen sighed.
"Woohoo!" At this time, the rapid howl of the red wolf came, and You Xi and the others hurriedly got out of the car after hearing the howl, signaled the red wolf to stop shouting, and looked at the place in the distance of the grass that was covered by green fog.
"Isn't the gathering place just ahead?" Jiang Yuntao asked in a low voice.
"Hmm!" You Xi nodded, the strange blue light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, a part of the people will walk over, and the rest will follow behind in the car!" ”
"Everyone, be on guard!" Zhang Minghai reminded loudly, and then some of the people who got out of the car followed the red wolf and continued to walk to the front of the grass.
The eagle grass under the feet is the standard court lawn, and the vitality is the most tenacious.
They walked carefully on the grass, the grass could cover their ankles, and there was a fluffy feeling when they stepped on it. Led by Red Wolf, the group slowly crossed the golf course, then bypassed a man-made lake and came to the bottom of a low, bare mountain.
A winding mountain road stretched out of the green mist and reached the foot of the convoy, and the red wolf barked a few times, and then walked first to the winding mountain road, and everyone followed behind.
The road goes around the mountains, but it's not steep, after all, there are no mountains in the plains. The convoy continued to circle several hills, and suddenly, several independent houses stood proudly on the side of the road, and everyone was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, and they hurriedly hurried up to the pace.
Through the green mist, the surrounding terrain suddenly becomes flat and open, the sidewalks on both sides of the road are paved with all kinds of beautiful tiles, and a half-fallen street sign is erected on the side of the road, and the street sign reads "Welcome to Wudieling Resort"!
"There seems to be a wall in front of you, look!" Zhang Xiaoxiao's surprised voice sounded.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, behind the green fog, a wall nearly five meters high stood between the two low mountains, blocking their way, and people could be vaguely seen walking on the wall, everything showed that the front was the gathering place they were looking for!
But before they could say their happy words, a cold voice came from above the wall:
"Who's down there, report your name, or you'll shoot!"
"We are survivors, open the door, we are seriously ill and need help!" Xie Liang responded loudly.
"We die here every day, and we can't manage so much!"
"But!"
Xie Liang was about to say something, but was interrupted by that rude voice, "There is an order from above, if you want to come in, you must hand over your weapons and food!" Otherwise, it will roll as far as it goes! ”
This voice was like pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone's hearts, shattering everyone's beautiful illusions about the gathering place, and they almost couldn't help but scold, but before they arrived at this time, Jiang Yuntao stepped forward, raised his head and whispered to the man on the wall:
"This brother, looking at the military uniform you are wearing, you should be a soldier from the Ningshan base, I wonder if you have heard of Chief Su Liwu?"
Hearing Jiang Yuntao's words, the people on the wall were silent for a while, and then their tone became polite: "We are sent here by Chief Su to carry out a mission, I don't know what is the relationship between you and Chief Su?" ”
Jiang Yuntao couldn't help but smile when he heard that they were soldiers sent by Su Liwu to carry out the mission, glanced at Su Manman, nodded, and shouted at the person on the wall again: "I'm Jiang Yuntao, the platoon leader of the 17th task force, I don't know if your team leader is called Wei Xian?" ”
The wall was silent again for a moment, as if hesitating, and then hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! Then he disappeared into the wall, leaving everyone under the wall looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.
You Xi, Zhang Minghai, and Li Man didn't expect Jiang Yuntao to have a relationship with the gathered people, but this would at least reduce a lot of trouble for them, and they were still thinking about whether to break in forcefully, or exchange the food in the car for medicine.
The person on the other side of the wall didn't let You Xi and them wait longer, and after a while, the steel gate of the wall slowly opened, and a hearty voice came from inside: "Hahaha!" Comrade Jiang, we have been looking for you so hard! I didn't expect to be found by you first, it really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them! Thank you very much! ”
As soon as the voice fell, the door just opened, and a man in military uniform in his thirties walked in, the man was slightly fat, medium height, and a military uniform made him look extraordinarily energetic.
Jiang Yuntao immediately took the initiative to salute when he saw the comer, and said, "Company Commander Wei, this is the duty of our soldiers, and it is not hard to talk about hard work. ”
Wei Xian also returned a military salute, and then said with a smile: "Okay, good, it's really a real soldier." Then he glanced at You Xi and them, and stopped when he swept past Su Manman, a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and said in a respectful tone: "Presumably this is Miss Su Manman!" ”
"Well, we are fortunate to have fulfilled our mission this time, the others are the friends we met on the road, but one of our friends has a high fever, I hope that Company Commander Wei can give him some help!"
"Where to say. Since we are Miss Su's friends, we will definitely not stand idly by, let's go, go inside first, you are also tired, I asked someone to take you to find a place to rest first, and discuss the rest later! ”
"Good!"
Jiang Yuntao answered, and then they followed a team of guards to the gathering place, and the four cars slowly drove behind, during which the red wolf and the eighth elder brother caused a lot of alarm to the guards inside, but under the explanation of Zhang Minghai and Jiang Yuntao, they also successfully entered the gathering place.
The gathering place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are two small artificial lakes, and the facilities inside are very complete, many houses are newly built, there are many retro or Chinese and Western buildings, and the surrounding scenery sets off each other, it is really a good resort.
However, the situation on the streets is the opposite of the gathering place, many people in tattered clothes are squatting or sitting on the side of the road, and some streets have many simple tents set up on the corners, and the ground is full of domestic garbage, which looks very chaotic. There were some people who were in a hurry on the road, and after seeing You Xi and them, they quickly left, and there were many figures poking their heads out of the windows of some rooms to watch, and those people were all looking yellow and thin, just looking at You Xi and they turned their heads for a while.
It seems that the situation in the agglomeration is not so rosy either! You Xi thought secretly.
Soon, they were taken to the door of a beautiful hotel, the decoration of the hotel is more like the combination of Chinese and Western buildings in Shanghai in the last century, and they must have spent a lot of thought on decoration.
"You guys stay here first, and someone will bring the medicine later, if you need anything, just let us know." A guard said respectfully, on the way here, Chen Lihua had already explained to them the name of the medicine they needed, there used to be a pharmacy in the resort, and there was no shortage of medicine in the gathering place now.
"Okay, thank you!" You Xi thanked him, and then helped Zhang Ziyan out of the Land Rover with Zhang Minghai, Zhang Ziyan was still unconscious at this time, his face was completely bloody, even if Chen Lihua took care of him on the road, his body temperature was still high.
Then, they carried Zhang Minghai into the hotel, the hotel was empty, it seemed that it was specially for them to rest, so they picked the nearest room and put Zhang Ziyan on the bed.
At this moment, a sergeant brought the medicine over, handed it to Chen Lihua, and then left immediately. There are external application and infusion and internal administration of medicines, but You Xi and they don't understand it, so they handed it over to Chen Lihua to deal with.
Suddenly, a breeze blew from the room, and miraculously passed through several doors of the hotel, mixed with a little piece of paper, and came to the room where You Xi and the others were.
The door was blown by the wind, making a rattling sound, and everyone looked back, their eyes widened suddenly, and they looked into the air above their heads in disbelief, only to see those pieces of paper in the breeze, forming two large characters in the air:
"Be careful!"
