At this time, no matter what I think in my heart, I always have to say something to stabilize the morale of the army, I don't want them to be the same family for the next few hours.

If pain is inevitable, then I hope they don't feel it in advance.

"Don't scare yourself, if the mine is occupied first, what will they do? They will retreat to another place first, and then make a decision after meeting with Gu Yu. ”

The three of them looked at me at the same time, and I didn't change my face, I didn't avoid their gaze, and I knew that in order to convince others, I had to hold on.

"And where are they going?" Chen Dong looked at me with hope.

"There aren't many of them, so they're more likely to choose a nearby village to settle in." The more I talked, the smoother it became, and even I was almost convinced.

The three of them, perhaps thinking that what I had said, glanced at each other, and the flame of hope was rekindled, and the unpleasantness just now was immediately forgotten.

"I'll look at the map in a moment, there are several villages around here." Chen Dong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "They must have left a mark." ”

The conversation finally went in a positive direction, and I listened to the three of them discuss how to scout along the way with a smile on my face.

Gu Yu slept for two hours, not only recovered his spirits, but also healed most of his leg injury.

We set off again, and although Gu Yu said that his leg was much better, Long Tao and Hu Tao were still not at ease, so they let Gu Yu's leg hang down uncomfortably, so they asked him to sit with his back against the side of the car door, and put his injured leg on their legs.

Pan Yijia is thin and small, she got under the seat in the back seat and lay down, with a sense of immediacy of the Spring Festival.

I sat in the passenger seat with Qiuqiu in my arms, and Long Tao continued to be his driver, but fortunately we were not driving a sports car or an ordinary car, and the interior space was relatively spacious, and we could barely squeeze it to deal with the past.

When Gu Yu heard that they wanted to stop in the villages along the way and look for clues left by Ah Ying, he just glanced at me and did not object.

Long Tao and the others had new hope, so they only told Gu Yu about my speculation, not mentioning their desperate conjecture.

For the next four hours, we walked and stopped, and did not encounter dead bodies, zombies, robbers, or people, as if we were the only ones left in the world.

When he passed by Chen Dong and encountered the group of dead bodies, he specifically pointed out to us, in fact, he was referring to a bare field, no matter which direction he looked, there was no shadow of a building at the end of his sight.

The field was flat and open, with a north wind howling from time to time, and I don't think it was the first scene of the infection of dead bodies, it was too breathable.

The corpse must have escaped after being infected in one of the camps, or it could have been deliberately led there.

The mine is a secret stronghold that Gu Yu has chosen a long time ago, and it will not be easily discovered, and the materials in the mine are not abundant, if the previous corpses are really the survivors who camped in the mine one step ahead of us, their lives may not be better.

And Ah Ying and they knew that the mine was occupied by someone first, and there was absolutely no possibility of joining, they had few people and many people on the other side, once they entered the camp, it was up to them to stay, so most of them would choose to retreat elsewhere and wait for Gu Yu's instructions.

When Chen Dong and Hu Tao went out to look for clues, I told Gu Yu everything that came to mind, and Gu Yu shook his head lightly after hearing this, and said, "The Galaxy Mine can't accommodate so many survivors. ”

His eyes were fixed on the car window, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and with this amount of snowfall, it was likely that spring had passed and the earth would not be able to return to spring.

Gu Yu stared straight at the continuous snow curtain outside the car window, as if he had entered a state of empty thought, but I knew that his mind had not been idle.

Pan Yijia took this opportunity to get out of the car and move her body, she was very quiet, walking around the car, occasionally reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her little head.

Long Tao turned sideways, turned his head to look at Gu Yu and asked, if those dead bodies didn't run out of the mine, where did they come from?

Gu Yu obviously didn't tell them in detail about this secret stronghold, Gu Yu didn't answer his questions, but just began to introduce the situation of the mine.

The place we are going to is called the Galaxy Mine, which is located in the plains a hundred kilometers east of the two cities, and the name can only be found on the local map.

The mine was developed in the fifties of the last century, and by the year before the outbreak of the virus, the mine had been closed.

Mining has been going on for more than ten years, and there are basically no resources that can be recovered.

People who used to live in the family area of the mine have also moved away, and it has long been a ghost town, and even if the infrastructure is still there, there is not much farmland around, and there is not enough food for tens of thousands of people, let alone enough houses to live in.

This year's winter is extraordinarily long, and no one will want to sleep in the wilderness, which is simply looking for death.

While talking, Chen Dong and Hu Tao happened to come back, and the two of them seemed a little excited, they should have discovered something.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the car door, Chen Dong smiled and said, "I found the mark they left." ”

Hu Tao also had a simple smile on his face, and said: "This village has been burned, they have been here, let's go east, there is still a village over there." ”

All of us looked at Gu Yu, because if we went east, we would turn off the highway, which would be equivalent to deviating from the established route, and Gu Yu had to make a decision.

"To the east." Gu Yu didn't say much, since he found the code left by Ah Ying, it means that the direction of my guess is certain.

Long Tao steadily turned the car off the highway, drove a fork in the road, and while driving, he repeated the situation that Gu Yu had just introduced to us to the two of them.

Gu Yu said that the Xinghe mine was permanently closed because the mine was depleted, and it is said that there was an accident at that time, which caused a serious landslide.

"It's not an accident." Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he interjected mysteriously: "It's to dig out something unlucky, and the project can't go on." ”

"Comrade Chen Dong, your kind of thinking is very dangerous, just listen to some rumors." Long Tao shook his head and told another version of the 'truth'.

He said that the accident at the Galaxy mine was caused by an earthquake that destroyed the mine and that the mine was supposed to be shut down, so it was completely abandoned.

Chen Dong was not convinced, and asked with a stiff neck: "My comrade-in-arms is from the Xinghe Mine, and his father is a worker in the mine, and his father saw this with his own eyes." ”

"Tell me, then, what did you dig up?" Long Tao didn't argue with him, and followed his words and asked.

"What else can there be, coffin." Chen Dong deliberately lowered the tone by a few decibels.

"If you dig up the coffin, it will collapse, what is the coffin? Foundation? Long Tao pursed his lips and glared at Chen Dong.

"Hey, believe it or not, I heard that there was a woman lying in the coffin, soaked in blood, and her skin was so white, which was very penetrating."

"Blow, keep blowing, your comrades-in-arms are telling you ghost stories." Long Tao shook his head happily, obviously not believing Chen Dong's words.

Under Chen Dong's vivid description, we have already felt its mystery before we arrived at the Galaxy Mine.

Of course, Long Tao didn't believe Chen Dong's words at all, according to him, if this kind of thing really happened, the above would have sent them a task a long time ago.

Chen Dong was only assigned to Gu Yu's team after the outbreak of the virus, and he didn't know about the tasks Gu Yu and their team had received before.

When he was in the safe zone, Gu Yu felt that this person was credible, so he took him with him when he left.

Maybe they had never talked about this before, so Long Tao took this opportunity to pick out a few strange incidents they had dealt with and told him.

Now there are no restrictions on secrecy, even if Chen Dong knows, it is just a matter of listening to the story, after all, there are many things that cannot be confirmed.

A few people chatted about strange things, time passed very quickly, and when they approached the village that Hu Tao said, Long Tao slowed down the speed of the car.

There are traces of people entering and exiting on the road outside the village, and seeing these marks indicates that there are people living in the village.

If it was Gu Yu's people, they would send people to guard on the way into the village, so Hu Tao jumped out of the car and whistled a few times at the white snow.

I heard it like a bird, and as soon as his voice fell, two different tones of voice were answered.

Two people jumped up in the snow on the side of the road, more than 100 meters away from us, and ran over with guns, clearly their own people.

Seeing that there were more than Long Tao and a few of them were happy, I was also greatly relieved, don't look at me when I said it was very confident, in fact, I was not 100% sure in my heart.

When I really saw someone, the stone in my heart fell to the ground, and the two people ran over and hugged Hu Tao and Chen Dong who jumped out of the car.

Reunion, reunion, in this cold and snowy deserted place, what could be more joyful?

After the greetings, the two ran back to the village to report the news, we drove the car into the village, and Ah Ying was the first to run out of the village, carrying Nini behind her back.

I got out of the car with Qiuqiu, and just wanted to call them, but I saw Ah Ying hurriedly wave at me and make a silent gesture.

Gu Yu wanted to refuse to sit on a stretcher, but he couldn't resist Long Tao and Hu Tao's 'complaining' eyes, so he had to agree to let them carry him away.

We were led into the compound of the village committee, and the courtyard was full of people, and all the people sent by Gu Yu to the Xinghe mine were there.

A group of people entered the house with a hula la la hu, and as soon as the door closed, someone began to speak.

Ah Ying also arrived at this moment before she explained: "There are monsters outside, they are sensitive to sound, and they can't shout loudly." ”

"Team Gu, didn't you encounter that kind of thing on the way here? Gray skin, not zombies. "The person who spoke was the deputy captain appointed by Gu Yu, and he was responsible for leading the team to the Galaxy Mine.

"Yes, but it's fine." Long Tao hurriedly replied.

I'm not sure if Gu Yu told these people about the plane weapon, so I acquiesced to Long Tao's vague explanation.

And Gu Yu didn't continue this topic, he was concerned about why they camped in the village and didn't go to the Galaxy Mine.

The vice-captain said they had gone to the mine, but there were already people camping, and the only discrepancy with my guess was that they had been kicked out.

The vice captain originally didn't expect to wait for Gu Yu from such a distant place, he wanted to find a nearby village to live in, but the people didn't let him, and he didn't want to conflict with the other party, so he had to retreat here.
