Three days later, on December 25, the scavenging team drove the base vehicle to the capital.
The base car itself has the function of a snowmobile, and Xiao Xue and the others made some adjustments according to the system's opinions, and turned it into a snowmobile. The skateboard-type tires did not sink into the snow, and it slid on the snow the whole way, at an extremely fast speed.
The base vehicle did not make any stops along the way and successfully arrived at the base in Beijing one day later.
The situation at the Beijing base is much worse than that at the Zhongshan base. There is a mess everywhere. Because of the extremely cold weather, the Beijing base has also activated underground air raid shelters.
However, while the Zhongshan Base has restarted the renovation of its above-ground buildings, the Beijing Base has not yet been able to come out of the underground, and it seems that it will not be moved out in the short term.
I heard that someone was coming from the Zhongshan base, and Zhou Fang personally met them. Everyone was looking forward to news from other bases. Although there were brief exchanges after the communication was restored, it was not as detailed as someone coming to introduce them in person.
Zhou Fang was overjoyed when he saw that the visitors turned out to be Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong, who had disappeared during the big storm, and hurriedly asked them about the details of their disappearance.
Xiao Mo was also very happy to see Zhou Fang safe and sound, and told Zhou Fang the same reason he had told Qiu Feng.
When Zhou Fang heard that Bao Yiyong had rebelled, he was very sad, but he also felt bitter that he had known it would be like this.
"After he did something, I asked someone to investigate him and found out that he was very close to the notorious Keno Company. Mr. Yang and I specially warned him. Later, I saw that he took the initiative to drive away the members of the Keno Company. The collaborator stopped all inhumane research on superpowers. After discussing with Mr. Yang and others, I decided to give him another chance. After all, there are not many talents like him in our country and even in the world." Zhou Fang sighed.
Xue Lihong: "It's a pity that he only stopped on the surface. Brooke, an insider of Keno Company, has been following him. Bao Yiyong asked his bodyguards to dress like ninjas to hide this person. In addition, his inhumane research on superpowers has not Stopped, just moved to another secret address, with his son Bao Yuezhi in charge."
Seeing that Zhou Fang didn't seem to understand the matter, Xiao Mo briefly explained what they found in the underground building of Yucaiyan in H City.
Zhou Fang squeezed the armrest of the sofa, "I said where did Bao Yiyong send his son? That's it! The father and son went astray, especially Bao Yiyong, who has talent and brains, but it's a pity that he is too eager for quick success and too quick. He wanted to make unparalleled achievements and make the world look up to him, but the result..."
Xue Lihong said without emotion: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."
"Having said that, you still have to have a bottom line as a human being." Zhou Fang didn't know what he thought of and didn't speak for a while.
Xiao Mo agreed with this very much, "I heard that Captain Lei from our base is still alive? Can he come over now? One of the important purposes of our coming here is to take him back."
Zhou Fang returned to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Xiao Mo call "our base", "To be honest, I very much hope you can stay, but my old enemy has already greeted me, just barely threatened me. He said Zhong There is an extreme shortage of doctors at the mountain base now, and there is no healer. They say they can let you go on a business trip, but they can never leave you. As for Captain Lei, the Capital Base and I are very grateful to him. He helped us a lot during the big storm. Later, in order to rescue some scientific researchers and instruments at the scientific research institute, they were crushed by the collapsing building. However, there was a low-level healer at the base who finally saved his life. However, the healer also worked very hard, and his healing ability was not as good as Ah's. Ning, let alone you, there are too many seriously injured people in the base who need his help... "
Xiao Mo raised his hand and said tactfully: "Sir, you don't need to explain in such detail, we understand. It doesn't matter what Lei Dui's health is now. Can you let me see him?"
"Of course. Well, if it's convenient for you, we still have many seriously injured people here... But we may not be able to pay two thousand per person." Zhou Fang felt very embarrassed.
Xiao Mo waved his hand, "I really want to say that I don't need to be paid, but that's not realistic. After all, I need to consume energy to save people. In this way, the slightly injured are not counted. I think this can be left to the base medical staff and the low-level Healer, no matter what the serious injury is, as long as I can treat it, it will be calculated as one hundred energy per person, what do you think?"
One hundred energy is equivalent to one level 2 energy crystal, which is almost the amount he normally consumes to treat a seriously injured person. Of course, if you encounter a situation such as the energy nest of the superpower being destroyed, or if you are about to die, or your body parts are too damaged, etc., the consumption will definitely exceed this. It's just that Xiao Mo relies on the endless energy provider of green light spots in his body, and his need for energy is no longer as urgent as before. But he doesn't know how long the green light spot can lend him energy, and he doesn't know if the green light spot will leave him. He is even more afraid that he will anger the other party by borrowing too much energy. For the sake of the future, he still has to do something. Gather some energy.
"Okay, very good!" Zhou Fang was so happy that he patted the armrest of the sofa.
If someone else had offered to save one person for a hundred energy, he would have felt that the other person was asking too much. However, after seeing Xiao Mo’s therapeutic effect with his own eyes and the actual energy consumption proved by the Academy of Sciences, Xiao Mo offered to save one person for a hundred energy. Yes, in Zhou Fang's eyes, it was the same as the price of cabbage. He immediately stood up and led the way: "Captain Xiao, on behalf of the capital base, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. I won't say much else. We will look at the details later. .Look, if it’s convenient for you now, then we can go to the ward now?”
His staff Feng Yang wanted to remind him: "Captain Xiao and the others have come all the way and haven't rested yet. At least after they have eaten..."
Zhou Fang slapped the back of his head and said, "Yes, yes, look at me! Hey, Captain Xiao, we have prepared a simple meal here. Either we go over to eat first, and after eating, you can have a good rest before going to the ward." Late."
Xiao Mo stood up, shook his head and smiled, "Don't go to such trouble. If it's convenient, just send some raw materials for meals to my teammates. We have a simple kitchen in the car for cooking, and those guys probably don't want to get off the car. As for me Here, you can eat at any time, let’s go see the injured first, I’m also worried about our Lei team.”
"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble Captain Xiao. I'll arrange for someone to send some raw materials for food later. Fengyang!" Zhou Fang thought about sending as much as possible and some good ones.
"I know." Feng Yang understood Zhou Fang's meaning when he saw his eyes. He nodded, indicating that he would arrange the matter himself.
"Is it okay if your car is parked outside?" Zhou Fang talked cordially with Xiao Mo as he walked.
When Zhou Fang learned that the scavenging team drove over by themselves, he guessed that the car must be different. Now even the snowmobile can only walk around the area. The distance from Zhongshan base to the capital is so long, which is even more critical for the car. Quality and functionality are both huge challenges.
Zhou Fang even speculated that this car might be the highest scientific crystallization of the Zhongshan Base Research Institute. If this is the case, the people in the scavenging team care so much about that car that they would not get out of the car when they entered the base. Now they are not even willing to eat. There will be an explanation below.
"It's okay. It's stuffy underground. It's better to stay above. The car's heating function is okay." Xiao Mo explained conservatively.
"Hmm." I'm afraid it's not only good at keeping warm, but also has first-rate offensive and defensive capabilities. Zhou Fang couldn't ask more about the base vehicle, fearing that Xiao Mo would think he was inquiring about the scientific research secrets of Zhongshan Base, so he changed the topic at the right time: "Although the magnetic field has recovered now, the satellites in the sky are still unusable. It used to be that the bases We can still use satellites to communicate, but now we have to rely on those ancient telephone lines that were buried deep underground to prevent nuclear explosions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"Isn't there a saying that the more primitive the product, the safer it is?" Xiao Mo also joked in a more relaxed tone.
"Haha, you are right, sometimes it is like this. You see, during the period when there is no electricity, everyone can hardly do anything. There are not even a few hoes and plows for manual use. There are also incidents in scientific research institutes. There was a joke. A few young researchers wanted to make candles for everyone to use. Those children were probably too impatient and did not turn around for a while. As a result, they looked everywhere for a wax-making machine. Later, Mr. Yang found out about it and asked them all to start over. I’m going to learn the basics. So, we still can’t throw away the things belonging to our ancestors.”
Several people walked and talked all the way, and Xiao Xue and the others got a general understanding of the current situation of the capital base from Zhou Fang and his staff.
Because there were too many people coming to the capital to seek refuge, a large number of people died during the big storm. In the end, only about one-tenth of the ordinary people were able to escape into the air-raid shelters.
The soldiers reluctantly went out to provide disaster relief during the storm and sacrificed nearly one-third. Later, Commander Wei and Commander Liu got angry and refused all rescue orders, so the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers were saved. For this reason, the relationship between the parliament and the military almost broke down.
Scientific researchers basically survived except for a very small number of people who could not escape because of their scientific research on the tunnels connected to the underground bomb shelters.
In addition, after the magnetic field was restored, the capital side was also contacted by several bases. However, the telephone lines that were originally buried were not very usable now. The small base did not have air-raid shelter facilities. After the big storm, the infrastructure was almost completely destroyed, even the telephone lines. The line is still there, and it is not easy to contact other bases in a short period of time.
Xiao Mo heard a very important message from Zhou Fang's words, and he looked at Xue Lihong.
Xue Lihong understood and told the other party with his eyes: He would ask the insect soldiers to investigate the current situation in the capital.
When they arrived at the ward, Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng also came.
Qian Yunkai told Xiao Mo that Fengyang had sent them more food raw materials.
Xiao Mo understood and introduced Qian and Wang to Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang was extremely happy to hear that Qian Yunkai was also a doctor.
Qian Yun opened his mouth and swallowed the fact that he was a forensic doctor. Forget it, the main rescue force is their captain anyway, he just needs to follow and help.
Later, Xiao Mo saw Lei Bing with legs that were like rotten meat in the seriously injured ward.
"You're finally here! I knew you would be fine with this kid following you!" Lei Bing looked terrible, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Xiao Mo and the others, he smiled so hard that his molars were exposed.
Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng came up to greet him respectively. Wang Cheng gasped when he saw his legs.
Qian Yunkai received Xue Lihong's signal and walked to Zhou Fang, "Your Excellency, could you please give me a list of seriously injured people who need first aid? I want to arrange treatment for them according to the priority of their illness. order."
"Of course, please come with me." Zhou Fang also saw that Xiao Mo and the others had a private message with Lei Bing. Hearing this, he immediately took Qian Yunkai to find the attending physician here. After that, he took Feng Yang to comfort him. The patient gave Xiao Mo and the others room to talk.
Xiao Mo sat down next to Lei Bing and naturally touched his leg, "You should be lucky that the weather is cold now, otherwise you would be dead by now."
Although he is not a doctor by profession, he has treated so many injuries and has a basic idea of the consequences of certain injuries.
Lei Bing laughed, watching Zhou Fang in front comforting the seriously ill patients, and whispered to Xiao Mo: "The healers here are not good, they can only treat minor injuries and illnesses. When I crawled out from under the ruins, the healers He actually said he wanted to amputate my leg! Damn it, how could I really let him do it? I remember you said before that the physical ability and recovery power of superpowers are better than ordinary people. I want to try and see if I can recover slowly on my own. ... I think you will definitely come back to me as long as you are alive, and I can delay it as long as you want."
Xiao Mo disagreed and said: "I know that healer. He was originally a doctor. He said that amputating your limbs is responsible for your life. If you were not a superpower and if the weather was not so cold, you would have died of septicemia long ago. , it’s impossible to stay up for such a long time.”
"I know. But... you couldn't regenerate a severed limb before."
"So you would rather take risks? What if I can't arrive in time or never come back at all? Besides, you can definitely amputate the injured leg first and freeze it. Will it still be reattached when I come back?"
"Forget it, the healer has already said that my legs are completely crushed from bones to muscles. I'm lucky to be able to drag them out. Once I saw them off, they will still rot no matter how hard I freeze them. . Instead of doing this, I might as well let them grow on my legs and nourish them with my vitality."
"Bullshit!" Xiao Mo also knew that Lei Bing didn't want to have his leg amputated. It wasn't that he was sure he could come back, but that he was afraid of becoming a half-cripple. Even if he could still use his powers, he would have to rely on others to survive in the future. This was a big deal for Lei Bing. It is the most cruel thing that is absolutely unacceptable.
Xue Lihong suddenly bent down and poked Lei Bing's injured leg.
Lei Bing's injured leg caused him great pain. He could only touch it but could no longer feel anything. However, he still deliberately screamed: "What are you doing? You want to kill me while I'm sick? Old Xiao, look, you My wife is bullying me!”
Xiao Mo: "..."
Xue Lihong clicked her tongue twice and said with a dead face: "It must be very painful. For fifty days, looking at your legs like this every day, do you want to die?"
Lei Bing turned his head and ignored him.
Xue Lihong rubbed Lao Xiao's hair, put her chin on the top of his head and said, "It's so pitiful. If we had known earlier that Captain Lei would be crushed like this, we should have told him on the way to the capital last time. , don’t talk about regenerating severed limbs now, even if you only have one brain, you can also make his limbs grow back, right? My dear~"
Xiao Mo was helpless, "How can you say it is so exaggerated? Do you think it is so easy to completely repair the human body?"
"But there is definitely no problem in regenerating a severed limb. After all, we have tested this at the Zhongshan base."
Xiao Mo nodded and froze in the middle of the nod - the unshaven Captain Lei looked at them accusingly with tearful eyes, his expression was as aggrieved as he wanted.
Xiao Mo raised one hand, "I swear, on the way to the capital last time, I didn't know that I could regenerate a severed limb, really!"
Captain Lei bit the corner of the quilt and sobbed: "I know this bastard is deliberately angry with me, but... but damn! I still suffered for two months in vain! If I had known that you could regenerate your limbs, I would have fucking killed you These two rotten legs should be cut off! Wow!"
Lei Bing was really sad. If Xue Lihong hadn't told him, he wouldn't have been in so much pain. If he had endured it for so long, wouldn't he just have had some hope of recovery? As a result, Bastard Snow actually told him that his two months of suffering were in vain! You must know that dragging two rotten legs is not just physical pain, but he is fighting death every moment, right
Xiao Mo glares at Xue Lihong and asks you to stimulate him!
Xue Lihong shrugged, "I've seen that there are a lot of people with mutilated limbs in this room. If you help treat them later, he will still see it. Why not tell him now so that he can be mentally prepared."
Bullshit! I was cured at that time. Even if I see the truth, the blow won’t be as big as it is now, okay! Lei Bing whimpered louder.
Xiao Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Captain Lei, Lei Bing! Can you please stop crying? It's really hard to hear."
Lei Bing cursed angrily: "Shouldn't you comfort me at this time and tell that kid to get lost?"
Xue Lihong snorted coldly: "Why does he want to comfort you? Want me to get out? Who are you from our family?"
Lei Bing raised his little finger and said shamelessly: "Boss Xiao's little wife?"
Xiao Mo couldn't bear it and slapped his thigh, "Okay, don't be poor. Get up and move when you can. Then call General Qiu. He is very worried about you. Your subordinates are also waiting for you to go back to pay your wages. !”
Lei Bing subconsciously lowered his head and raised his legs.
"Fuck! Lao Xiao, you can do it! This speed is incredible!" Lei Bing suddenly jumped out of bed. He had had enough lying down.
But when his feet just touched the ground, because he hadn't adapted yet, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Xue Li's red eyes and quick hands caught him.
Lei Bing hugged his shoulders and stretched his legs happily, "Thanks, brother."
Xue Lihong suddenly covered Xiao Mo's eyes with one hand, "Don't look at it, you'll be poisoned."
Xiao Mo slapped his hand away and went to see other seriously injured patients.
Lei Bing lowered his head and found that his two hairy thighs were exposed, with only a pair of small briefs covering his important parts.
Xue Lihong couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Lei Bing praised his legs nonchalantly, "Look, what strong, strong and beautiful legs you have!"
"Can you stand still?"
"Um."
Xue Lihong immediately let go, "I want to ask you something, how is the relationship between the military and the government at the base now?"
"Tch, what's wrong with making me miss you for a little longer?" Lei Bing sat on the bed, stopped admiring his regained legs, pulled the quilt to cover him, and called out to a medical soldier, asking him to help find a pair of pants. .
"Did you see it?"
"It's not that we saw it, it was Zhou Fang who intentionally or unintentionally leaked some information to us."
Lei Bing sighed, "It's hard for your Excellency, the President. He is a person who really wants to do practical things, but there are always some people in this world who like to hold back. These people can only see their own interests. Although it is human nature to value one's own interests, but To harm others for this would be crossing the line.”
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Lihong poured a glass of water for Lei Bing.
Lei Bing took the water cup and drank more than half of it in one breath, "It has something to do with the rescue during the storm. At that time, a big storm came and the entire base was in chaos. But the storm was so severe that even the wind warriors had a hard time going out, let alone Other ordinary soldiers. But there are people, um, some members of Congress strongly requesting soldiers to go out to save people."
"Save the people?"
"Save their families and property. According to them, they are also ordinary people."
"The army is out?"
Lei Bing nodded and curled his lips and said: "If one person puts it forward, more people will put it forward. When they hide in the safety of the air-raid shelter, they are 'considerate about others', and Zhou Fang, as president, cannot allow the people to suffer in a big storm." After struggling, in the end, with a one-minute temporary parliamentary vote, more than half of the members asked the soldiers to send out disaster relief. Afterwards, more than one-third of the soldiers died. At that time, as long as the storm went out, there was only one word of death."
"Were you injured at that time too?"
"Well. I'm still a superpower after all. I can't watch our ordinary soldiers fighting for their lives in the storm while I stay in the safety of the air raid shelter. The soldiers who went out to provide disaster relief were divided into several groups, and some went to rescue important supplies. Some went to save important people, while others tried to save more people. I was assigned to go to an above-ground research institute to rescue important instruments and two genetic scientists inside."
Lei Bing was silent for a while and continued: "Commanders of the rear guard and Commander Liu could no longer bear the sacrifices of the soldiers. They disobeyed the president's order on the spot and ordered all the soldiers to withdraw. In fact, the president could not bear it, but the congressmen grabbed the people and waited. The soldiers went to save this point and forced the president."
“Have the families and property of those congressmen not been saved?”
Lei Bing smiled slyly, "Yes, although the president agreed to issue the order to rescue people, and the two commanders also agreed, the soldiers rescued only ordinary people, and did not care about the families and property of those congressmen, unless the other party happened to be rescuing them. On the route, but that was just walking along, and it was impossible to get escorts or anything. Afterwards, those congressmen went crazy when they found out, and they yelled that the two commanders were nothing, but the two commanders were thieves, they had already been My family and the president’s family moved to the military camp, and as soon as the storm started, they followed the army underground, which only aroused the hatred of the congressmen.”
Xue Lihong twitched the corner of her mouth.
Lei Bing looked around and whispered: "As far as I know, the parliament and the military are completely at odds now. If it weren't for the president's suppression, the base would have been split into two. Although those congressmen suffered greater losses, the rotten ship is still alive. With three kilograms of iron nails, their combined strength is not small. After the storm, they even spread rumors among the survivors, saying that Commander Liu planned to stand on his own feet, but refused to provide disaster relief during the storm, and watched the people die. However, many survivors did Seeing the army retreating or not waiting for the army's rescue, these people were encouraged... "
While Xue Lihong and Lei Bing learned about the situation, Xiao Mo and Qian Yunkai were treating the seriously injured one by one, and Wang Cheng also followed suit.
Zhou Fang specially sent two soldiers to protect them.
Just after Xiao Mo quickly restored the three seriously injured patients, a noise suddenly came from the door of the ward.
