It was still raining lightly in the early morning of the next day.

Liu Yan yawned, looking unwilling to sit by the trolley and eat fried noodles. Lai Jie went to organize the evacuation, and the civilians took their families and food to leave.

An old woman was crying with a pillow and quilt. Lai Jie wanted to let her go, but she wouldn't leave if she died. Lai Jie was devastated by the trouble.

Meng Feng went up to comfort him, Lai Jie rubbed his messy hair and left in a frenzy.

In the end, the old woman cried heartbroken, was picked up by Meng Feng, put it on the trolley, and let others take it away.

"Why is she crying?" Liu Yan said.

Lai Jie sighed: "Where's the good stuff, give me something to eat. She said that her wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all buried here, and she is the only one left and doesn't want to leave."

Liu Yan said, "Let her stay."

Lai Jie: "How can she be allowed to stay? The whole village has left. She won't be able to eat for a long time with the food. There are zombies everywhere. At the beginning of the Long Night Plan, no one who stayed here will survive."

The old woman was leaning on Zhuo Ting's side. Most of the old people in the car were inactive. Meng Feng escorted the large army, comforted her in a low voice, took out her wallet, and showed her a photo of herself and her father when she was a child, saying that the children in the shelter .

"That's right." Meng Feng said: "There are many children in there, take them with you, let's talk..."

Zhuo Ting couldn't help laughing and asked, "Are you still responsible for talking to the old man?"

The old woman thought a lot, and her emotions calmed down a lot. She held Meng Feng's photo and chanted while crying. Finally, she held his hand and said something gratefully.

Meng Feng said: "Alive, we can come back in the future. When we are no longer sick here, everyone will go home together."

The old woman's eyes were red, she nodded, leaning in Zhuo Ting's arms, Zhuo Ting stretched out her hand distressedly and touched the old man's gray hair.

Liu Yan knew that Meng Feng was brought up by his grandmother when he was young, and he had a deep relationship with the old man. He was most touching when a tough guy was tender. He stared at Meng Feng blankly, and an indescribable feeling in his heart gradually extended.

Meng Feng felt it in his heart, and when he raised his head, he smiled at Liu Yan. Liu Yan finished the rest of the fried noodles and clapped his hands down.

The group crossed the mountainside shrouded in clouds and mist and entered the depths of the valley.

Resting at noon that day, some people were not too hurt. Lai Jie had to slow down his walking speed. When he was crossing a deep valley, the ground shook and the team began to panic.

Lai Jie returned his hand to signal silence, and Zhuo Yuhang took his men to the front of the team for protection.

An indomitable giant came from the valley, and the footsteps landed with a loud bang, and the Oaks complex appeared again.

Just like the ancient giants wandering in the depths of the forest in ancient times, stepping on earth-shattering steps with every step, walking across streams, trekking between mountains and heading southeast.

"What is that..." Bai Xiaodong saw this thing for the first time, and his voice trembled.

"The Oaks complex," said Raj.

Bai Xiaodong said: "What is... manipulating it?"

Everyone looked up, the giant passed not far in front of them, crossed the road, and the corpses that were slightly glued to one place were scraped out by the trees and fell to the ground.

"Earth." Liu Yan murmured: "Our planet is calling it to clean up all the viruses. If you peel it off, you will see the blue light inside, which is the consciousness of the mother planet."

Lai Jie turned his head and said, "The earth is recycling it?"

Liu Yan nodded and said, "The seventh district told me that the earth is protecting us and fighting the virus from outside the sky."

The giant walks by and leaves.

Lai Jie ordered to set off again, walked on the edge of the stream with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and said with a smile: "I always thought that the earth was going to kill us humans, isn't it all said in science fiction?"

Liu Yan smiled and said, "We are part of the earth, how could it kill itself?"

Meng Feng said: "Really, many people don't think that human beings are part of the earth."

Liu Yan said: "Then tell me, what is the earth?"

"Mountains, rivers, and the earth." Liu Yan said, "Including all the creatures on this land, it is the earth itself. Maybe humans occasionally cause it a little trouble. It's just that it is sick."

Lai Jie buried his head in the dirt under his feet and asked, "Has it been confirmed that the virus came from an alien planet?"

Liu Yan shook his head and said: "It is said to be a place farther than an alien planet, another universe with a higher dimension than our universe. Qin Hai didn't explain it too clearly, this is just their speculation. They believe that the virus is conscious and belongs to a universe. A kind of group consciousness... The seventh district's name for virus consciousness is 'group consciousness matrix'. It is said that thousands of viruses are distributed on the earth, forming a huge brain, and the strings hidden in all virus gene fragments are a whole... ...like an uninvited guest who confronts the consciousness of the Earth itself..."

Meng Feng was like a duck at a loss when he heard the scriptures. Liu Yan glanced at him and patted his head.

"My mother said that you can't beat people in the head, you will become stupid." Bai Xiaodong said.

Meng Feng: "I was beaten stupid by him."

Liu Yan: "..."

At dusk, they passed another winding mountain road out of the mountain. They stopped and went the next day, and finally found another signal tower.

Lai Jie told everyone to rest in place and climbed the signal tower. Liu Yan tried it, but the signal was very noisy.

"Call the high seas base, call the high seas base, here is the Hurricane team technician Liu Yan."

"Call the High Seas Base...don't tell me what octopus squid you've come across again!" Liu Yan said suddenly.

"I'm here—" the man's voice said, "Is it the legendary Liu Yan? How's the situation on your side? What about Lai Jie?"

Liu Yan: "We were shot down in the middle of the mission, and a total of 2,071 survivors were found during the mission. The current location has been marked on the map. We need supplies and apply for a rescue team to bring people back to the high seas."

"The headquarters has received it. Please clean up the surrounding environment and leave open space. The rescue team will arrive within 48 hours. Are there any other requirements?"

Liu Yan took out the list and reported a lot of supplies to him. The signal over there was getting weaker and weaker. Liu Yan said, "What's going on?"

The voice in the communicator: "It has been recorded in detail, the solar wind is dislocated, the magnetic field is chaotic..."

There was a rustling noise, and the communication was cut off. Liu Yan tried to contact him several times, but a signal was sent from there. After confirming safety, Liu Yan hung up.

The rescue team came very quickly this time. At dawn the next day, a large group of helicopters arrived and lined up for quarantine for the survivors in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain.

A lieutenant colonel got off the helicopter and explained to Lai Jie: "The magnetic field is turbulent, and the strong signal in the center of the high seas is disturbed. You must speed up the search and rescue process."

Lai Jie said, "Where's the car? Why don't you have a car?"

Several soldiers moved the large and small boxes of materials off the helicopter, and the lieutenant colonel said: "The organization can no longer provide mechanical equipment. The materials requested by your technicians were specially approved by Dr. Wei of the central workshop and handed over to his favorite students. , including a new sonic terrain detector and improved elf droids..."

Lai Jie screamed: "The problem is that we didn't give the car, and gave us so many wheel detonators and iron leaf springs for us to make flying saucers with Lego blocks!"

The lieutenant colonel said: "Be serious! Captain Lai Jie! Overcome the difficulties yourself! This is Major General Zheng Feihu's death order!"

Lai Jie shuddered when he heard those three words, and immediately shut up consciously, turned around in a circle, remembered salute to the lieutenant colonel, like a robot, walking towards Meng Feng with hands and feet.

After the crowd passed the quarantine, Lai Jie looked miserable. A dozen large boxes were piled up in the open space. Liu Yan opened the lids one by one with his sleeves and began to check the materials he applied for.

The propeller of the helicopter started with a roar, Zhao Qing said goodbye to them, and took the plane back to the high seas.

The strong wind blew across the wilderness, Lai Jie closed the helicopter doors one by one, Zhuo Ting walked to Meng Feng and said, "Meng Feng."

Meng Feng: "?"

Zhuo Ting handed over a small flower and said, "Thank you for saving us and giving it to you, please come back alive."

Meng Feng nodded, glanced at Liu Yan in the distance from the corner of his eyes, took the flower, and said, "I wish you a safe journey too."

Zhuo Ting turned to the plane, and the last helicopter took off.

Meng Feng walked to Liu Yan, Liu Yan was sitting on a pile of boxes, Meng Feng took out the flowers that Zhuo Ting had sent, and dangled hypnotically in front of Liu Yan's eyes.

Meng Feng: "Cough, see, someone likes me."

Liu Yan: "Oh."

Meng Feng: "You don't want to express any opinion?"

Liu Yan raised his head and glanced at Meng Feng, and then his eyes moved to the flower. Meng Feng was timid and handed it over obediently.

Liu Yan took the flowers.

Meng Feng: "..."

Liu Yan: "Help me put this spring on...it's too weak."

Meng Feng, like an obedient bear, squatted in front of Liu Yan and helped him install a small metal Frisbee.

Liu Yan pinned the flower in Meng Feng's chest pocket and said, "Very good, someone likes it, she gives the hero a flower, and I give the hero an award." He wrapped his arms around the back of his head and kissed him intently.

Lai Jie took off his gloves, let out a long sigh, brought Zhuo Yuhang over, and said, "Everyone gather."

"Zhuo Yuhang asked to join us. Do you have any opinions?" Lai Jie said.

Liu Yan said casually: "Yes, I said why he didn't get on the plane."

As soon as Lai Jie heard it, he knew that Liu Yan had said that the rescue team had left, and Zhuo Yuhang was still here. Of course, Lai Jie had made up his mind.

"If you don't agree, you can send him back at the next tower." Lai Jie said, "Vote now."

Meng Feng said: "Why did you stay? Because of your sister?"

"There's a part of the reason." Zhuo Yuhang, like a beggar gang leader, with loose hair, messy beard, and sloppy interior, he said, "Captain Lai Jie promised me a chance to atone for my crimes, and I won't hide my sister's affairs. Report it, and finally clear it."

Lai Jie said, "Do you have any opinions on the expedient measures? We need people, and the headquarters has only left us less than six months. Bai Xiaodong, what do you think?"

Bai Xiaodong said, "I... don't know, just look at them."

Liu Yan said indifferently, "I'm fine."

Meng Feng was very refreshing: "Yes, just don't hold back."

Zhuo Yuhang said coldly, "No, I will prove myself."

Lai Jie handed Zhuo Yuhang a piece of paper, opened the box, and said without raising his head, "Swear it."

Zhuo Yuhang took a deep breath and swore to the paper.

Lai Jie took out the vaccine and injected it into Zhuo Yuhang. Bai Xiaodong's vaccine was brought from the United Front Work Department. The Nuhai Team's box was sent away by the rescue team. What Lai Jie entrusted to Chalongxi to keep was just a fake vaccine. box.

The Hurricanes have one last remaining.

"Okay, you are the last member of the Hurricanes. Welcome to join us." Lai Jie hugged Zhuo Yuhang, who was sweating profusely, and put him aside to let him rest.

Everyone shared lunch. After eating, Lai Jie couldn't take the cans with him, so he put up a sign on the ground and wrote a few words: "Here's something to eat." It can also fill the stomach.

Until Zhuo Yuhang woke up, Lai Jie said: "Each person will be divided into several boxes. Don't need the cans and biscuits. Take everything you can."

Several people divided the boxes of supplies, Meng Feng carried one on his shoulder and one under his arm, and the rest carried one each and walked onto the road.

Zhuo Yuhang was tall and staggered a little, and looked at Liu Yan with a little doubt.

"Don't look at him like that, okay?" Meng Feng said, "He doesn't have to carry the box because I carried two."

Liu Yan: "You can put one down and see if the captain dares to let the technician move things."

Meng Feng said impatiently: "It's not the right time for you to dismantle the platform."

Lai Jie gestured for Zhuo Yuhang to come over and whispered, "You have to find a way to get close to him, otherwise your life will be very sad."

Zhuo Yuhang: "Just an unreasonable student... What can you do to me..."

Liu Yan laughed, took the initiative to carry a lighter box, put his hands in his trouser pockets, fell behind a little, and asked Bai Xiaodong, "Can you throw a Frisbee? I designed a weapon, you should like it."

Bai Xiaodong: "Yes, I liked playing when I was in college."

Liu Yan: "This is my newly invented weapon. There is a detonator in it. When it is thrown out, the centrifugal force will cause the lead to hang on the detonator. After three seconds, it will explode and shoot out 120 thin iron pieces. Drop a lot of zombies. I made 20 for you, you have to use them carefully, the power is very powerful and dangerous, throw them out and be careful not to accidentally injure your teammates, and remember to lie down yourself."

Zhuo Yuhang: "..."

Lai Jie: "Understood?"

Zhuo Yuhang nodded with lingering fears.

After a long journey, they finally got out of the mountains three days later, onto the highway, and after another day of walking, they found a bus next to a gas station.

Liu Yan was exhausted. Lai Jie and Meng Feng threw the supplies into the car. Bai Xiaodong asked blankly, "Have the car keys?"

Meng Feng dragged the corpse of the driver whose neck was bitten off from the seat. Lai Jie checked the gas station and refueled the bus smoothly. Liu Yan pulled out two wires and touched it, and the truck started.

Bai Xiaodong's eyes were full of adoration.

Meng Feng sat in the driver's seat and turned on the radio, which contained his father's search and rescue declaration.

Everyone got on the bus, Lai Jie drove, Lisa Ono's voice sounded, the members of the Hurricane team were exhausted looking for the back seat to lie down, and the bus galloped onto the highway and set off.

June 10, 2013.

205 National Road, the road is not easy to walk, there are abandoned cars everywhere, and it is still a day away from Jinan Airport. Lai Jie took apart the additional task, which was to search for all refugees and "a biologist who fled from the United States" in the Daxing'anling area of ​​Heilongjiang Province.

The biologist's gender, age, and characteristics are unknown. He is looking for a needle in a haystack. I even doubt how Zheng Feihu got information about this person.

It is said that the United States set up an emergency research center in Alaska, which was captured by zombies this year, and some people escaped. Almost all the insiders died, and the last remaining technical team, carrying very precious research materials, passed the Bering Strait all the way and entered the Daxing'an Mountains.

During the period, they sent a radio distress signal to China. At that time, another search and rescue team received the signal, which involved some rules of international humanitarian aid organizations. The captain of the Orion team encountered an extremely difficult choice at that time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally gave up on them temporarily, leaving the next batch of search and rescue teams in charge of the Inner Mongolia region to rescue people.

We are going to search the Mohe area. When the virus broke out in the three eastern provinces, hundreds of thousands of civilians fled to the border. They spent a very long winter here. Mohe is almost the northernmost in the whole of China, and it is also the refuge position with the largest number of survivors. All the Chinese have to be brought back, and all the old Maozi are left there - this is what Lai Jie said.

In the end, he rejected his own point of view, and changed his mind and said that it should be carried out according to the order of the army. Anyone who is alive will be taken back to the high seas, and international humanitarian assistance will be treated equally.

I don't know why Lai Jie let an inexplicable person join the Hurricane. That guy is like an elder of a beggar gang, looking at me with hostile eyes, maybe because his sister likes Meng Feng. Raja is simply a...

Lai Jie glanced at Liu Yan's diary.

"Hey, Liu Yan." Lai Jie finally couldn't help but said, "I'm honored that you finally started to smear me in the diary, but I want to explain..."

Liu Yan closed the diary and said coldly: "I found that except for the newcomers in this team, everyone has the entertainment mentality of peeking at my diary, should I take some measures, such as a flashbang or something, can I Let you always remember this lesson..."

"Listen." Lai Jie was extremely sincere and whispered, "I asked him many times what he did in the past, and he only told me that he was his prisoner...other than that, he didn't say anything."

Liu Yan looked at Lai Jie and whispered, "Do you think he can be trusted? He used to be with Cha Longxi."

Lai Jie said: "He didn't kill the members of the Angry Team. On the contrary, I asked other people in detail, and I also gave complete confessions to many people. I learned that Zhuo Yuhang was to protect the members of the Angry Team, so I talked to Cha Longxi. They fought hard and lost their leadership position and got locked up."

"On this point, I can guarantee that I will never be deceived. My best performance in k3 was negotiating and detecting lies. Please believe me, Liu Yan."

Liu Yan said helplessly: "But he..."

Lai Jie: "He said that his sister is in our hands, and he also offered to let me write a letter and give it to the people in the high seas. If he dares to do anything to us, he can kill his sister at any time to avenge us. He is in Zhuo Ting is the only relative left in this world, and it is impossible to joke about her life. Besides, I am on guard, don't be afraid."

Liu Yan thought about it, he saw Zhuo Yuhang's anxiety to save his sister as soon as he was released from prison, so it should be believable. Since Lai Jie is careful, he should be fine.

Liu Yan suddenly understood something and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that he said he once killed his brother-in-law."

Lai Jie nodded and said, "Yes, so he doesn't dare to face his sister. Zhuo Ting hates him all the time. He has no interest in going to the high seas, so he can only choose to stay."

Liu Yan nodded.

Lai Jie rubbed the tip of his nose: "Also, the vaccine will expire on June 15th."

Liu Yan: "..."

Lai Jie shrugged: "Don't tell anyone...I...I knew earlier that it should be given to the old or the young, or to you, but you've already injected it...so...well, that's it."

Liu Yan painted the last line casually, and Lai Jie sat on the other side and looked at the scenery passing by the window.

In less than a year, in just ten months, nature has gently recaptured all the territories occupied by human beings. Thousands of ivy are green as far as the eye can see, covering almost all buildings. Birds bring seeds. , they take root and thrive wherever they can.

Knee-deep weeds covered the airport runway. Many zombies escaped. No one knew where they went. Only a small group of zombies were still scratching Tang Yixiao's posters and advertising boxes in the airport.

The hurricane team found the base car that was left in the airport lobby a month ago, Meng Feng cleaned up the zombies around, and Lai Jie and Bai Xiaodong went to search for all the aviation gasoline.

Liu Yan loaded the supplies into the car and inspected all the equipment on the car one by one.

Liu Yan was very satisfied, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuo Yuhang looking at him from the back of the car, so he suppressed his smile and glanced sideways at him.

Zhuo Yuhang pretended to be nonchalant, wrapped his arms around his back and smoked against the wall.

"What did you do before?" Liu Yan asked.

"Stinky tofu seller." Zhuo Yuhang said, "I know you look down on me."

Liu Yan: "..."

Zhuo Yuhang: "What do you want to inquire about?"

Liu Yan: "You are too suspicious. I just want to design a weapon that you are more comfortable with. Are you familiar with iron sticks? Or clips? Or how about a multi-functional stir-frying spoon with a meteor hammer?"

Zhuo Yuhang said coldly, "No need."

Liu Yan threw him a small knife, Zhuo Yuhang raised his finger like a nimble cheetah and held it firmly.

"Go and shave your beard, trim your hair, and take a shower. There is a natural lake behind the airport lounge." Liu Yan said.

"Captain let me protect you." Zhuo Yuhang said casually.

Liu Yan: "I think you need more protection."

Zhuo Yuhang shrugged and turned away.

Liu Yan turned on all the detection machines, and the rest of the group returned to the car and waited for another 20 minutes when a man came over.

Everyone: "..."

The man had short chopped hair, clean cheeks, a high and sexy nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, hard lips, slightly thin cheeks, fair skin, and only wearing a field jacket on his upper body, revealing his toned chest.

With a well-proportioned and strong body, he bent into the car and found several people looking at him.

Zhuo Yuhang's voice: "What?"

"It's nothing." Several people immediately pretended not to be surprised at all, and went to work separately.

June 11, 2013.

We retrieved the base car. The carriage was almost full of supplies. We had to use up some of the bombs as soon as possible. Five people were squeezed into the car. Meng Feng and Zhuo Yuhang were both big men, and Zhuo Yuhang was close to 1.9 meters. Bai Xiaodong and Lai Jie are not short either, so many people feel very oppressive just sitting there...

Liu Yan was halfway through writing, and suddenly glanced at him. Except Zhuo Yuhang was driving in the front seat, the other three were watching his diary.

Meng Feng sat on the left side of the bunk and looked sideways. Lai Jie stretched his neck and peeked at the bunk on the opposite side. Bai Xiaodong stuck his head out from the upper bunk and looked down.

Liu Yan flashed a short stick with his backhand, closed his eyes, and pressed the switch.

The white light of the flash bang lit up, and everyone screamed in unison.

dusk:

Lai Jie: "Listen...Liu Yan, forget your diary, let's all first...Yes, what does this smell like? It smells so good!"

Zhuo Yuhang was expressionless. He bent down and fry a plate of peanuts on the electric stove on the workbench. Shepherd's purse and fish soup was boiled on the alcohol stove behind him. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were placed on the top shelf of the mechanical parts rack. rice.

Or Thai basmati rice from the shopping mall.

One portion of fried luncheon meat, shredded beef with cucumber mixed with light shadow, salt-fried peanuts, shepherd's purse fish soup - four dishes and one soup.

The crowd burst into tears.

"Drink some wine, I'll be in charge of driving at night." Zhuo Yuhang unscrewed a bottle of Erguotou. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. The members of the hurricane team stopped by the roadside and found a place to sit.

rice ball reading

Lai Jie said, "Brother Zhuo and Bai Xiaodong are officially welcome to join the Hurricanes."

Guozhen poured Erguotou into the small paper cup that she was trying to drink, and several people clinked the cups. Zhuo Yuhang said, "I am the oldest here, how old is Yuxiong, this year's thirty-three, I regard you as my younger brother, and I look down on my elder brother, shouting. Brother Zhuo will do."

"Since I joined the hurricane team, everyone will go back and forth in the water, in the fire, in the fire, on the mountain and down the sea of ​​fire, as long as there is a need, big brother doesn't frown, if you don't do well, please have something to say Say it straight. If there is a mistake, I will definitely change it, do it.”

"Welcome...Welcome!" Bai Xiaodong said.

Bai Xiaodong hadn't tasted the cruel days of digging canned biscuits. Liu Yan, Meng Feng and Lai Jie all had tears in their eyes. They had long since thrown their dissatisfaction with Zhuo Yuhang into the clouds.

Lai Jie drank the wine and sighed contentedly: "Let's talk about yourself, Brother Zhuo, what did you do before?"

Zhuo Yuhang took a piece of lunch meat, put it in Liu Yan's bowl, and said casually:

"I'm ashamed to say that, brother was not a good person before. Even Ting'er doesn't know about this as a killer. Don't tell her."

Everyone: "..."
