Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 716: Unexpected discovery

Views:

An extremely serious crisis came to an abrupt end in an unexpected way after the death of many people, which caused everyone in the No. 5 helicopter to fall into an unspeakable silence with different emotions.

After a while, the pilot straightened his back and said to the rest of the helicopters relying on the onboard communication equipment:

"It has been confirmed that the crisis has been lifted.

"To repeat: confirmed, crisis lifted.

"Each team went to their own destination to land as originally planned, and waited for the follow-up notification."

After a pause, the pilot said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"I propose that everyone observe a minute's silence for the soldiers who died for the Yellow Commissioner, without closing their eyes."

"I agree."

"I agree."

One after another sound rang out, and then fell silent.

Nearly two minutes passed before Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and asked Jiang Baimian, separated by three companions:

"Did you sense the position of the 'Doctor' just now?"

What's the use of asking now? Even if "Doctor" didn't die, he must have escaped... Jiang Baimian grunted and replied with a slight sigh:

"No."

If there is, she will say it as soon as possible.

"Neither do I." Shang Jianyao looked regretful, "It's a pity, I can't see the ballistic missile salvo."

Seriously, you just finished the silence! Now is the one who is seeking novelty? Jiang Baimian closed his mouth and stopped talking.

She felt that the silence was respect for the victims such as Commissioner Huang and Zhang Lao.

Before long, the helicopter began to descend and stopped outside a small human settlement.

There is a flat field here.

Before that, the helicopters had received an order from the Wubei Material Coordination Committee to return the surviving "Salvation Army" veterans to the military base attached to Wubei to wait for further notice.

Jiang Baimian and others carried different crates and waved goodbye to this group of temporary comrades.

Seeing that the black helicopter made an arc in mid-air and flew into the distance, Long Yuehong raised her hand and rubbed her ears:

"The noise is so loud that my hearing hasn't fully recovered yet."

He could hear all the sounds around him, but he always felt that there was a thick barrier between them and himself.

"Really?" Jiang Baimian had no such experience.

Her biological cochlea adjusts itself.

"Yes." The honest Shang Jianyao put two fingers into the left and right ear holes, squeezed them in and pulled them out, "This will be much better."

Bai Chen followed suit, and then asked:

"Where are we going next?"

"Let's wait for the 'Salvation Army' to send our car over and find out the latest situation." Jiang Baimian looked around, not in a hurry to go to the human settlement not far away.

As a representative of being lazy if you can be lazy, the sinister Shang Jianyao put down the crate he was carrying and sat on it.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian followed suit, followed by Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Genova hesitated for a moment, and decided to be more like a human.

More than ten minutes later, two cars including the "Old Tune Group" jeep drove over from Wubei and stopped in front of Jiang Baimian and others.

Ding Ling was in charge of driving their car.

Ding Ling pushed down the door and threw the key to Jiang Baimian.

Shang Jianyao jumped up and grabbed the item first.

"..." Ding Ling was momentarily dumbfounded.

And the car in the back seated with several "Salvation Army" soldiers did not approach this side, and seemed to be alerting them from a distance.

Shang Jianyao took the key, took a few steps forward, and said to Ding Ling with a heavy expression:

"Committee Huang, Elder Zhang, they all sacrificed."

His voice dropped, not hiding his sadness.

Ding Ling lowered her head slightly and glanced at her toes:

"I found out halfway through, there is a car radio on the other car."

She immediately raised her head and squeezed out a sad smile:

"On my first day as a 'Salvation Army,' I knew sacrifice was inevitable.

"Unlike those warriors around Wubei, I have been in the border settlements for a long time, often facing danger, and have been injured several times. I have always been mentally prepared for the sudden sacrifice of myself to those around me.

"Although it really happened, it will definitely still be sad, but the most important thing is to keep going, cherish the people around you who are worthy of attention, get along well with them, and try not to leave too many regrets in your normal life. "

Jiang Baimian could understand Ding Ling's mood, and was about to comfort a few words when the honest Genava suddenly said:

"Then do you know that Zeng Ping'an likes you, have you gotten along well with him, and don't let him leave too many regrets?"

At this moment, not only Long Yuehong, but also Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian were stunned, only Shang Jianyao seemed to want to applaud.

What the hell is this? Lao Ge, don't torture humanity at this time! This is so impolite! And, isn't this really a joke? After regaining his senses, Jiang Baimian embarrassedly wanted to dismantle the broken robot.

She already remembered who Zeng Ping'an was. It was a young man at the border post. He had rescued Ding Ling during the tentative attack of "First City" last year. He was shot a few times and almost died.

Just when Jiang Baimian tried to make a roundabout and apologize, Ding Ling replied with a complicated expression:

"I had a relationship with him."

"..." Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao all lost their ability to speak for a while, only Bai Chen didn't react much.

Before Genova asked, Ding Ling sighed softly:

"Are you trying to say that I have a husband, and also ask you to go to the icefield to find him.

"It's been two years, and he hasn't been heard from in the icefield. I'm guarding my hometown at the border. I don't even know if he's dead or alive now, and if there is any possibility of reunion, he's the same, maybe in the next minute, our relationship One of them was infected with 'heartless disease', or was shot in the heart by a bullet.

"I love him, but also pity and love my comrades.

"A child who can protect your back and be seriously injured for you is about to die, looking at you with longing for love, do you just refuse? He is a wanderer in the wilderness, his parents died early and suffered After suffering, I finally came to our 'Salvation Army', survived the number of years, joined the army, and never felt love. You hope that he will die like this, and even his last wish cannot be fulfilled

"Hehe, I've never seen each other again, but for the sake of each other's lifelong love, but this is a luxury, the dust only looks at today, not tomorrow."

Having said that, Ding Ling lowered her eyes and said in a lost tone:

"I used to long for..."

Long Yuehong couldn't accuse Ding Ling of doing something wrong. He felt that people who had not experienced the corresponding things would just stand and talk without back pain.

He could only curse in his heart:

What a fucking world!

Ding Ling quickly returned to normal, looked at the "old tune group", and sighed:

"If my husband comes back, I will tell him everything that happened to him, and he will decide how we go in the future."

As she spoke, Ding Ling spoke faster and faster:

"I expect you to find him, tell him, tell him, I miss him."

There was still hope in her eyes.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Don't worry, we will definitely work hard to do what we promised you."

She did not continue the topic, and instead asked:

"How is Wubei's situation now?"

"I'm investigating whether there is a hidden nuclear bomb, and I don't know how many 'Salvation Army' soldiers are busy with the risk of being killed." Ding Ling smiled bitterly, "When it is confirmed that there is no problem, let the evacuated people return, this should be soon."

"So soon?" Shang Jianyao asked cooperatively.

Ding Ling nodded slightly:

"The threat of the 'New World' powerhouse is too urgent. In order to seize the time and allow a large number of people to evacuate quickly, they did not do any inspections when they left the city.

"Now, the nuclear bomb has probably been transferred out of Wubei. Hehe, it's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. Let it go. Anyway, our 'Salvation Army' is not the only nuclear warhead."

At present, it seems that the group of people who stole the nuclear bomb does not want to blow up any important city of the "Salvation Army". After all, only the headquarters of the "Salvation Army" is Pingnan City that is more important than Wubei.

"You can only follow up slowly." Jiang Baimian said with relief.

Ding Ling looked back at the other car:

"I have to go, whether you go back to Wubei to replenish supplies, or go directly to the icefield, and replenish supplies on the way, you can.

"You didn't lose your passport, did you?"

"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head.

Ding Ling gave a "hmm":

"If you want to return to Wubei, it is best to wait until three days later, or to be notified that it is safe."

She immediately waved:

"I'm waiting for you to bring me back the good news!"

After watching Ding Ling get into another car and head towards Wubei, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"Move the boxes back to the car."

Long Yuehong quickly took a few steps forward and opened the trunk of the jeep.

His eyes swept away, and he frowned slightly:

"So many supplies

"Given by the 'Salvation Army'?"

He found that in the trunk, more than one-third of the space was filled with the few materials left.

"Is there such a good thing?" Shang Jianyao rushed over excitedly and swiped a few times in the pile of supplies.

In the sound of clattering, the pile of supplies collapsed, revealing a large box below.

"Only one or two layers..." Shang Jianyao was slightly disappointed and opened the box with curiosity.

In the sound of the snap, the eyes of several members of the "Old Tunes Group" suddenly froze.

In that box lay a silver-gray, rather heavy warhead.

After being at a loss for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian said to himself:

"Isn't that the nuclear warhead?"

The culprit is me

Hearing this sentence and seeing this scene, a vague memory suddenly became clear in Long Yuehong's mind:

The team leader and Shang Jianyao went to see Committee Huang's meeting. They took over from Genava and came to the window to monitor the movement near the jeep. It seemed, probably, maybe someone came over with a cart and opened the door of his own vehicle. In the trunk, it was quite difficult to put such a large box in, and used the remaining materials as a camouflage.

The man avoided the surveillance cameras the whole time, and knew exactly what was going on in the parking lot.
