Chapter 25: The Man Who Asks for Help
As night began to fall, the convoy chose to camp in an unfinished service area, taking into account the weather conditions. For the sake of safety, Qin Yue took Xiaozhuang and He Shan to inspect the entire service area, and only after confirming that it was safe did he beckon everyone to get out of the car.
The fat man's injury in his right arm did not affect walking, and after parking, he walked down, and Yao Aiguo was helped out of the car by Shen Kai.
Xie Xuan and He Shan found some materials from around the service area that could be burned, and soon two fires were burning in the supermarket hall.
Taking advantage of Su Xue's cooking time, Qin Yue arranged for the staff on duty, although he didn't meet a living corpse along the way, it didn't mean that there was no danger.
The fat man immediately shouted when he saw that Qin Yue didn't arrange a shift for him, "I said Lao Qin, you look down on us too much, I think the intestines flowed out when the fat man was fighting in a group, and this point of penetrating injury is a fart." ”
Xie Xuan stepped forward with a smile, "Fat brother, don't just say it, show the scars and take a look, and let us ordinary people open our eyes." ”
"Just watch!" The fat man pursed his lips and lifted the clothes from his belly with one arm.
Xie Xuan hurriedly approached to take a look, "There is really a scar, everyone come and see!" ”
The fat man smugly showed the scars on his belly to the others.
Qin Yue smiled, "Okay, since you took the initiative to ask Ying, you will be on duty for the first shift." ”
The fat man put down his clothes with satisfaction, "That's right, don't treat me as a wounded." ”
He Shan said: "I often have insomnia, so I'll be on duty in the second half of the night." ”
Qin Yue nodded, "You and Brother Xiao Zhuang are each worth an hour, and I will come at dawn." ”
"Xiao Qin, and my ......"
As soon as Yao Aiguo raised his hand, the fat man glanced at him, "Stop!" As long as you can see the road clearly with your eyes, it doesn't count, and you still want to be on duty at night? ”
Yao Aiguo helped his glasses and immediately retorted, "Xiao Cui, you can say that you don't have personal attacks!" ”
The fat man rolled his eyes and turned around, "I'm too lazy to take care of you." ”
Qin Yue smiled, "Professor Yao, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and there will be more places to use you in the future." ”
Yao Aiguo nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." ”
Xie Xuan looked at the others, "Brother Yue, they have all been arranged, what about me?" ”
Qin Yue said: "You are here to be on the second shift, but now there is a more important task for you." ”
Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, "What task?" ”
Qin Yue looked at the three cars outside, "The work of overhauling the vehicles after dinner will be handed over to you, and your task is to ensure that all our cars do not break down halfway." ”
Xie Xuan scratched his head with an embarrassed face, "It's no problem, it's just that there are no professional tools, and those tools on Lao Zheng's car are almost useless except for tightening the screws and lifting a jack......"
Qin Yue looked next door, "Isn't that the maintenance station, I found some car repair tools when I checked just now, you go and see if there are any that can be used." ”
Xie Xuan slapped his thigh, "Yes, how did I forget this." ”
After arranging the task, everyone went to work, Qin Yue and Shen Kai each held a torch wrapped in plastic sheeting and spun around in the other rooms, hoping to find something useful.
Although the highway has not yet been put into use, it was already in the delivery stage before the disaster, and all basic facilities have been completed. The two soon found a three-tiered stainless steel steamer in the kitchen next to the supermarket, as well as some stainless steel plates and plastic chopsticks.
Just as the two of them were about to leave with these things in their arms, suddenly there was a stabbing sound from a small room in the cafeteria.
"What sound?" Qin Yue's heart tightened, when he inspected this room before, he only glanced at it and didn't look closely.
"It seems to be an electromagnetic wave ......," Shen Kai listened.
"Electromagnetic waves?" Qin Yue frowned and put down the things in his arms, "You go outside and wait for me first." ”
"Brother Qin, you don't have to be nervous, it's really the sound of electromagnetic waves." Shen Kai listened to it again and said with great certainty.
"Then you can't be careless, go outside." Qin Yue pulled out his pistol and walked towards the small room.
Just as he walked to the door, the voice disappeared abruptly, and Qin Yue frowned and walked in cautiously.
The room was small in size, with only a small wooden table and a small bed.
There was a yellow helmet hanging on the wall, and some tools such as electric drills and hammers were stuffed under the bed, and there was no place to hide danger.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Qin Yue put away his pistol, held the torch and looked around, "Impossible, if I hear it wrong, it's possible, Shen Kai obviously heard it too......"
"Zizi-"
That voice sounded again, Qin Yue hurriedly turned around, and found that the intermittent sound was actually from a drawer under the small wooden table.
Qin Yue stepped forward and opened the drawer, and what appeared in front of him were four small walkie-talkies, and the sound of the voice came from one of them.
Qin Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up one of them and tried it, and his voice immediately came from the other walkie-talkie.
"Great!" Qin Yue immediately beckoned Shen Kai in.
Seeing the walkie-talkie, Shen Kai suddenly became excited, hurriedly put down the things in his arms, picked up the rest and tried it, "Brother Qin, you can use it!" ”
"We need this kind of short-range calling tool right now." Qin Yue nodded excitedly.
Shen Kai then found walkie-talkie headphones and a full set of charging docks in another drawer.
Just as the two were full of joy and ready to leave, the walkie-talkie rang again, "Is there anyone...... ......"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.
"Brother Qin......" Shen Kai's face tightened, Qin Yue hurriedly made a silent movement, and listened carefully for a long time but there was no movement.
"What do you hear?" Qin Yue looked at Shen Kai.
"It's a man's voice, as if to say if there is anyone ......," Shen Kai said.
"This walkie-talkie has a limited reception distance, and he may be nearby." Qin Yue nodded, held down the speech and responded a few times, but there was no response for a long time.
At this moment, a strong light suddenly shone in from the glass window, and then He Shan's voice came, "Brother Qin, are you inside?" ”
It turned out that Su Xue, who was cooking in the hall, heard Qin Yue's voice, and thought that something was wrong, so she pulled out her pistol and happened to meet He Shan, and the two rushed over together.
"It's me." Qin Yue responded.
"Brother Qin, are you okay?" Su Xue squeezed away He Shan, who was walking in front, and ran in first.
"It's fine." Qin Yue smiled, "See what we found?" ”
"Walkie-talkie?" He Shan followed and walked in, and when he saw the walkie-talkie in Qin Yue's hand, his eyes lit up.
"There are four in total, try it." Qin Yue handed him one.
He Shan couldn't wait to give it a try, and said excitedly: "It's still available!" ”
Qin Yue nodded and looked at the strong flashlight in He Shan's other hand, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
"Xie Xuan found it in the maintenance station, and there are two more." He Shan pressed the flashlight switch, "By the way, Brother Qin, I heard Sister Su Xue say that you seem to be calling someone?" ”
"Someone on the walkie-talkie called for help just now, and now there is no response." Qin Yue looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"If you want to capture the ......," He Shan frowned, "Be careful is a trap." ”
