Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran didn't dare to delay for a moment, they took a helicopter and flew towards the outskirts of the city.
"July 4th is the day of the final exam for the High School Affiliated to University A. Li Xin is probably going to take the exam. More than 50 minutes is enough for him to arrive at the school smoothly. If so, follow Li Xin's route home and search all the way." Song Haoran confessed to Lin Wenbo and the ten subordinates who came with him.
"Yes." The subordinates agreed in unison. They are all experts in the special forces training camp. They have been with Gong Lixin for more than half a year, and they have a deep affection for children.
"Here are night vision goggles and silencers. You all wear them. Zombies are very sensitive to light sources and sounds. If you move too much, they will attract zombies to attack you. Be careful." Song Haoran took out the military equipment he had prepared and ordered road.
Everyone quickly took the box and equipped their equipment.
"Xiaoxin is wearing a pure white shirt with sleeves and light blue jeans. Please pay attention to your clothes when you search. Whether it is a living person or a zombie, pay attention." Lin Wenbo said solemnly, and when he said the last sentence, his voice was hoarse , as if being torn by the sharp claws of a wild beast, the pain was unbearable.
Song Haoran suddenly turned his head to look at him, the two raging fires in his eyes fluttered violently, as if they wanted to burn Lin Wenbo.
"Don't look at me like this!" Lin Wenbo closed his eyes, his expression hard to hide the pain, "Don't forget, Xiaoxin also had a fever, which proves that his body has also undergone a change. Now he may become People with supernatural powers may also become zombies. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance."
Song Haoran slowly turned his face away, his expression distorted for a moment, and he said firmly, "No matter what he becomes, I will always find him." If he really turns into a zombie, I will release him with my own hands. , I definitely can't bear to turn myself into a man-eating monster!
Song Haoran hid the second half of the sentence, the back of the hand holding the gun was full of veins due to excessive force.
The helicopter soon arrived at the sky above the stadium of University A. Everyone checked the equipment again to make sure that the military satellite communicator remained smooth, and then climbed the rope that was dropped to the ground and quickly landed.
Cell phone signal base stations and optical cables on the surface of the earth are interfered by unknown electromagnetic waves, making it impossible to communicate. Fortunately, the military's communication satellites are far away in space and are not affected by such electromagnetic waves. With the satellite communicator, after they find Gong Lixin, they can immediately contact the helicopter to come to meet him.
The helicopter projected a vertical beam of light that hit the ground, and the propellers kept spinning, making a loud roar. Zombies swarmed towards the light and sound like moths swarming towards the light.
Twelve people landed in less than three minutes. When they got down to the ground, they immediately took out their pistols and killed the approaching zombies one by one, then quickly left and ran towards Gong Lixin's classroom in the high school.
The helicopter flew close to the ground for a while, and the moving beam of light and the roar of the propellers led away a large group of zombies. Under the cover of the helicopter, everyone marched safely towards their destination.
"Report to the major general, no target figure was found!" Through the locked classroom doors and windows, carefully identifying dozens of zombies locked in the classroom, a soldier said with surprise.
"The doors of the other classrooms are all open, and only Xiaoxin's is locked. It's obvious that someone did this on purpose. Don't you find it strange?" Lin Wenbo glanced at all the classrooms on the first floor and asked in a low voice.
Finding that the students in the classroom have all turned into horrible zombies, which child would not want to lock the doors and windows if he is not frightened? If it is really artificial, this person's psychological quality is quite excellent, and he can even be said to be fearless.
Thinking of Gong Lixin's calm and composed appearance in training, one of the generals suddenly said, "This style of behavior is really similar to Li Xin's!"
Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran's eyes lit up, and their gloomy and tense faces showed signs of relaxation for the first time. They all had a premonition that the locked doors and windows must be the work of a teenager. This proves that the boy did not become a zombie after the solar eclipse, but became a one-in-a-million supernatural being.
This is undoubtedly great news. With the ability, even if Gong Lixin doesn't know how to use it, his physical fitness will be stronger than ordinary people, his speed and five senses will be greatly improved, and his chance of survival will also increase.
"Go, search along the road!" Song Haoran raised his hand and immediately ordered everyone to move their positions.
A group of people searched and killed all the way, and ran across the roof of the car when they encountered a blocked road, or crawled slowly on the bottom of the car. But the sea of corpses is vast, and in the vast outskirts of the city, finding a small boy is as difficult as finding a drop in the ocean. When they found Tianji Fangbai and everyone was exhausted, they still didn't find the boy's figure, not even a living person.
Looking at the haggard faces of the generals, Song Haoran had to stop even though he was worried, and found an empty clothing store, closed the shutters of the store, and let everyone have a rest.
Sitting on the floor with his back against the wall, Song Haoran's eyes were closed tightly, but his heart was pounding like thunder, restless, wondering where the young man is now, whether he would be afraid alone, and worrying whether he would be injured, even though his body was already exhausted To the extreme, the nerves did not dare to relax at all.
In the last days, people must have a belief that can support their survival so as not to be overwhelmed by despair and fear. Before he knew it, Gong Lixin had become such an existence in Song Haoran's heart. He had sworn more than once to protect Gong Lixin from growing up safely and happily.
The accident happened unexpectedly, and with the passage of time bit by bit, Song Haoran was on the verge of collapse. If he couldn't find Gong Lixin this trip, he didn't know what would happen to him. He didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Lin Wenbo was sitting opposite Song Haoran, his eyelids were half drooped, and his face was expressionless, but his veined forehead and bloodshot red eyes repeatedly spoke of his inner unrest. His love for Gong Lixin is no less than that of a good friend, but apart from his deep fear, he also hides a deep disappointment—disappointment with Gong Xiangyi, the heart in his chest that used to beat for Gong Xiangyi is gradually freezing cold, creating an unhealable pain crack.
After resting for two hours, it was 12:00 noon, and everyone took out compressed biscuits from their backpacks to replenish their energy. After eating quickly and sitting for ten minutes, they opened the rolling gate and started the arduous search work again.
'A suspected target is found at two points ahead, everyone follow up! ’ A soldier was lying on the bottom of the bus, gesturing to his companions around him.
Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo looked up, and sure enough, beside the fire pump by the roadside, a slender boy wearing a pure white sleeveless shirt and light blue jeans was caught among the zombies, swaying toward him. walking forward. From the back view, it is at least nine points similar to Gong Lixin.
Although it was confirmed that Gong Lixin did not mutate into a zombie after the solar eclipse, there was no guarantee that he would have an accident on the way and be assimilated by the zombie. Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo both obviously understood this truth, staring at the boy's back, their hearts clenched, and they almost stopped beating.
"I'll go and have a look." Song Haoran couldn't stand on his stomach any longer, he jumped out from under the car, and ran towards the young man, while running, he drew out the dagger from his waist, and cut the neck of the zombie that was rushing towards him.
"Hurry up and cover!" I didn't expect my friend to be so impulsive, and ran into the group of zombies alone, Lin Wenbo immediately gestured for everyone to rescue.
Song Haoran moved quickly, running behind the young man in just ten seconds, grabbing the young man's shoulders and forcing him to turn his head. His comrades kept shooting, clearing away the zombies rushing around for him.
Half of the young man's face has been rotten, exposing the black and red muscles and bruised nerves under the skin. The upper and lower lips have long since fallen off, revealing the white gums, and the gaps between the opening and closing teeth spew out foul-smelling gas from time to time. But with its other intact face, Song Haoran immediately recognized that this was not the boy he was thinking of.
The tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, Song Haoran neatly dodged the sharp minions of the young zombie, and retreated backwards. His comrades fired again and again to cover him.
With the silencer installed, although the decibel level of the shooting has been reduced a lot, the continuous firing of more than a dozen guns makes a lot of noise. Coupled with Song Haoran's daring behavior, his behavior of breaking into the zombie group seems to have angered the zombies. The zombies in this area screamed one after another, and surrounded them.
"Run!" Song Haoran gestured to retreat, and everyone immediately climbed out from the bottom of the car, climbed up to the roof, and ran aimlessly all the way.
After running on the roof for nearly 20 minutes, Song Haoran relaxed when he saw the unfinished building at the corner not far away, and gestured for 'over the wall'.
This unfinished building is exactly the building that Gong Lixin and the others avoided last night, but unfortunately, at this moment, Gong Lixin and his party have already got into the sewer and walked far away. The two groups passed by like this.
"There is no way to find it like this!" A soldier sat at the base of the wall panting heavily, and said in a desperate voice, "It's hard for more than a dozen of us big men to protect themselves, how can a child like Gong Lixin escape? He is probably dead If you become a zombie, you may be eaten by the zombies, and you won’t even find the corpse. Let’s give up on him and go back!” Even special soldiers, who have not experienced the end of the world, still find it difficult to bear the cruelty in front of them.
"What are you talking about?" Song Haoran's face twisted, he pulled the soldier's skirt and lifted him up, and asked, "Do you dare to curse my Li Xin to death?" A soldier fell to the ground.
Although Major General Song had a bad temper, it was the first time for outsiders to shake his fist at his comrades. The rest of the people quickly stepped forward and pulled the two of them away. The soldier regretted it as soon as he said it, and was ashamed after being helped up by everyone.
Song Haoran stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and wanted to step forward to beat him again, but was restrained by two subordinates.
"Now is not the time for the inner bar! Look what it is!" Lin Wenbo walked out of the lobby of the unfinished building, holding a white shirt and a sports T-shirt in his hand. The shirt was replaced by Gong Lixin, and the t-shirt belonged to Wang Tao, with the words 'A High School Affiliated High School Basketball Team' printed on it.
Song Haoran immediately broke free from everyone's shackles, took the shirt and checked it repeatedly, and even sniffed it lightly. The familiar faint body fragrance came, and a ecstasy flashed in Song Haoran's eyes.
"This is Li Xin's clothes. There is nothing wrong with it." Song Haoran said firmly. When everyone saw him sniffing his clothes, their expressions were a little subtle. Unexpectedly, Major General Song could still be used as a police dog at a critical moment.
Lin Wenbo was a little embarrassed when he saw the strange expressions on his face. In fact, he did the same thing when he found the clothes. Others don't know, but he has been with Xiaoxin day and night, and he knows that Xiaoxin has a unique fragrance mixed with green grass and medicinal materials, which is refreshing, and he will never forget it after smelling it once.
"There are still some clothes inside, let's go in and have a look." Lin Wenbo said, motioning everyone to check the clues he found, "I've seen it, and from the analysis of the food residue, there should be eight people here before. Eight People left about three or four hours ago because the discarded chicken bones and bread crumbs were dry and hard."
"That's right." Song Haoran looked through the leftover clothes and food scraps in the hall with a solemn face, nodded affirmatively, "It seems that Li Xin escaped safely. Let's go out and start searching immediately!" Standing up straight, he couldn't wait. ordered.
"Haoran, I guess Li Xin and the others will go to the military compound. Since they have been away for a while, we might as well split up into two groups. You search from the ground along the way. I will take a helicopter and go to the military compound to check on them. Arrived. How?"
"Okay, let's do it this way." Song Haoran pondered for a moment, and felt that it was the safest way to do it, so he wouldn't miss it with Li Xin.
Seeing that he agreed, Lin Wenbo immediately connected to the military headquarters, called for a helicopter, and rushed to the military compound with two comrades in arms.
