Five minutes ago, the South China Sea headquarters.
"The first wave of communications from the front has arrived!" A second lieutenant in the communications office said loudly, "It's from Captain Sunshine Grass... uh... The temporary channel designated to connect with Colonel Zhou."
"Huh?" Zhou Rong raised his head: "You need off-site guidance so soon?"
The second lieutenant stepped aside respectfully, Zhou Rong stepped forward and sat down, put on a headset, and only listened to the indistinct voice in the rustling current: "The day Brother Rong was infected... I found out that I was still a little sad..."
Zhou Rong: "..."
In the communication office, the staff were listening to the latest news feedback from the search and rescue teams across the country. Zheng Zhongjun said angrily to the phone: "What? What do you mean when you parachuted into a pile of zombies? Lieutenant Colonel Tang! You speak clearly. point!"
The second lieutenant stood by the side in a little panic, and Zhou Rong made a gesture to let him leave, indicating that he could handle it.
"What do you need me to do?" Chuncao's voice sounded on the private channel: "Or I'll go talk to Si Xiaonan and ask him to apologize to you?"
Zhou Rong held his breath lightly. After a while, Yan Hao gave a vague wry smile and said, "No, what does it have to do with Sinan? His words hurt people only because he told the truth."
There was no sound on the channel, only dull breathing and walking.
After a long time, the sound of the gurgling stream suddenly became obvious, probably they finally reached the bottom of the canyon. In the headset, Chuncao said "hello", lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Rong? Brother Rong, are you there? Urgently requesting off-field assistance, Team Flower has entered a very mourning state, he is almost a dog's tail flower now, why? manage?"
Zhou Rong glanced around: "Be quiet, can Yan Hao hear?"
"No, he's in front, we're almost at the assembly place."
"Is there any sign of him mutating into a piranha?"
"Not currently, but I can't say for sure... Yan Xiaohao shot the big font on the mountain wall when he was skydiving. Now he is about to be disfigured. I think he must be in a bad mood... "
"Let him maintain the state of the dog's tail flower, and don't activate the piranha mode." Zhou Rong said solemnly, "I'll ask Si Xiaonan to come to the communication office to chat with him later."
Chuncao said: "Understood, ah! I saw Dading and Xiangzi! We are almost at the meeting place, we will talk later!"
On a small rocky beach in the valley, the yellow signal smoke rose high into the sky with the wind, and there were densely packed zombies lying around, and there were no less than a hundred of them. Tang Hao obviously went through a fierce battle. His parachute was hanging on the treetop not far away, his body was splashed with black blood and rotten flesh, and he was kneeling exhausted by the stream to wash his face with water.
There were more than a dozen team members gathered in the open space. When Guo Weixiang saw them, he was shocked on the spot: "Team Flower! Why are you disfigured, Team Flower? You landed face first?!"
Yan Hao: "..."
Chuncao immediately winked desperately to signal him to shut up, and then Ding Shi walked across the rocky beach with his gun in his hands, and looked up at the drastic change in his face: "Second team! Why is your face swollen like this? When you landed, your face hit the ground first?!"
Yan Hao: "..."
Chuncao forcibly hooked the two of them by their necks, dragging them away one by one, while Yan Hao turned to the stream to wash his dry nosebleeds. As a result, as soon as he squatted down, Tang Hao raised his head wetly, and their eyes collided.
After five seconds of eerie silence, Yan Hao said coldly, "Face first..."
Unexpectedly, Tang Hao interrupted him: "No, needless to say. Everyone has bad luck sometimes."
At that moment, Yan Hao was stunned by his reasonableness, and in the next second, Tang Hao burst out laughing, and took out the spy's miniature camera from his arms like lightning—
Click!
Tang Hao ran away, Yan Hao roared, "Come back to me!!"
Half an hour later, Yan Hao was finally tired from running around the rocky beach, holding his knees and panting heavily. Tang Hao stopped, proudly threw the camera into his tactical bag, and clapped his hands, "All gathering points!"
The team members who came one after another from all over the valley concentrated on the open space, but Tang Hao swept carefully and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He asked everyone to stand in line and count, and sure enough, it was wrong—four people were missing.
How can it be less? Did an accident happen while skydiving
The risk factor of skydiving in the canyon is high, and there are many zombies nearby, so the accident is excusable; but the four special forces disappeared without a sound, no matter how you think about it, it is very strange. Tang Hao pondered for a moment, and looked around, the narrow sky over the valley was getting darker and darker, it was almost six o'clock.
Once it gets dark, hordes of zombies will bring them great danger.
"Maybe I'm temporarily lost, I can't wait for them here." Tang Hao pondered: "Enter the search area first, find a leeward place to set up a camp, arrange for personnel to take turns on duty at night, and start a thorough search tomorrow morning."
The crowd responded collectively and acted separately.
"What?" Lieutenant General Zheng frowned: "Four people missing?"
Lieutenant General Zheng turned his head, Zhou Rong suddenly stopped the pen he was turning on the tip of his finger, and shrugged: "It may be lost or sacrificed."
Before Zheng Xie could express his opinion, Tang Hao's roar had already come out from the phone: "Zhou Rong! Why is it you again! Please stay in the rear and don't jump out and talk too much, every time I touch you, the European emperor, I It's very unfortunate, thank you so much for your family!"
Lieutenant General Zheng hurriedly covered the receiver with his hand, but unexpectedly Zhou Rong picked it up slowly from the side: "I'm sorry, Team Leader Tang, Ben Ou... Colonel Ben is now the long-range combat advisor of your Black Falcon team and has the right to ask questions at any time. The latest battle report on the front line. The appointment was just made by the General Staff this morning, you can ask your superiors for confirmation... "
"What?" Tang Hao said angrily, "Combat consultant? You?"
Old Lieutenant General Zheng covered the receiver and the microphone, his scalp exploded for a while, and finally he hurriedly pressed Zhou Rong's head and forcibly pushed him back into the swivel chair.
"Colonel Zhou was appointed as a remote guide because of his rich experience in team operations, and a communication channel was temporarily opened for him." Zheng Xie said to the phone with a straight face: "Okay! Stop protesting, Team Leader Tang! Stay vigilant and always be on your toes. Report the direction of movement."
General Zheng hung up the phone with a snap, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Rong was deeply immersed in the swivel chair, and he took out the cigarette case with concealed movements, but before he could light it, he was snatched away by Lieutenant General Zheng.
"...Okay." Zhou Rong reluctantly began to play with his pen and pondered: "The four people left behind may have been attacked by zombies, and they fell to the distance with the airflow, and could not reach the gathering place in time. The canyon terrain and wind direction data Tang Hao has already Have you sent it back? Let the fighter pilot report the skydiving time and altitude of the four team members, and based on the wind speed, they can preliminarily calculate their landing location."
Old Lieutenant General Zheng's face finally looked better.
"However, Tang Hao's decision to order the start is right." Zhou Rong sighed and said, "No matter who is left behind, he can't be rescued. When it's time to give up, he must give up."
Lieutenant General Zheng nodded in agreement and said, "If the topographic map returned by Tang Hao is correct, there are at least 10,000 zombies in the canyon. It's too dangerous. It must be resolved quickly, or things will change later."
Zheng Xie got up to go to the flight team to report the parachute jump. Zhou Rong was full of awe and respectfully watched the back of the old lieutenant general Wei An leave. He immediately fell to the side as if a bone had been taken out, and waved to the door of the communication office secretly: "Si Xiaonan Si Xiaonan!"
Sinan cat got into the office waist, and seeing no one around, miraculously conjured a lit cigarette.
Zhou Rong took a long and comfortable sip, leaned his thighs and legs in the swivel chair, and sighed with his arms around Sinan's waist: "This is the life I want..." Then he put on the headset, connected to the channel, and said lazily. : "Hello, girl? How are you?"
In the woods under the waterfall, the soldiers were well-trained and quickly set up army green tents, lighting fires to eat, and armed with guns.
"So far so good!" Chuncao sat cross-legged on the big stone beside the tent, nibbling on her high-protein beef sandwiches specially designed for the march, and said vaguely: "The four people are lost, we lit the red signal cigarette and asked them to come together. There are a lot of zombies in the canyon, and it was bombed for several rounds just now! Yan Hao's dog tail flower pattern is still going on, and it's not good for me to get a job, why do you feel so bad this time?"
In the communication office, Zhou Rong caught a glimpse of General Zheng passing by, and immediately took the cigarette out of his mouth and hid it under the table.
"..." Zheng Xie seemed to smell a tinge of smoke, stood suspiciously and looked around, and suddenly met Sinan's gaze.
Si Nan sat not far away, staring at him quietly, his complexion was pale and bloodless, his light amber pupils were cold and indifferent, like an inorganic dummy.
Zheng Xie: "..."
A chill crept up his brain, and Zheng Zhong jumped up his eyelids and turned away in a hurry.
"I said earlier that there was something wrong with your group's code name." Zhou Rong looked at Lieutenant General Zheng from behind the console before he took out the cigarette and continued into the microphone: "The original surnamed Tang is already dark enough, so I don't think about it. Looking for a master to figure out a good code name, what is it called 'Black Falcon', do you think you are not angry enough or do you want to fight poison with poison? - Tell me that you should code name 'Golden Rooster', 'Prosperity', ah, really not 'Panda' It's also good. Go out and make a show, hey! The special team of Panda Panpan of the 9th Search and Rescue Brigade is here to report!"
Chuncao wanted to cry but had no tears: "Don't talk about this now, okay? The above insists on using this unfortunate name to fight with the White Eagle troops of country A, what can you do?"
Zhou Rong said: "This is not right. Ask Si Xiaonan yourself, Bai Ying's opponent has always been our 118. The surnamed Tang still wants to fight with the Bai Ying troops. I didn't put my coffee position right..."
There was a slight noise in the woods.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Rong asked, "There are zombies again?"
Chuncao grabbed the submachine gun, but then Guo Weixiang strode from the side of the camp and waved to her: "It's okay! I found a small group of wandering zombies, it's done!"
Only then did Chuncao relax.
Zhou Rong thought thoughtfully: "Daughter, your choice of feng shui in this camp is not very auspicious."
"I don't know. When we camped just now, the area was relatively clean." Chuncao frowned and said, "There are suddenly more zombies wandering around here, as if they were clearly coming towards us... But it may also be because the sky is getting dark... "
She got up from the rock covered with dirt and moss, and with her excellent eyesight, she looked in all directions.
Darkness gradually descended on this inaccessible clearing, and torches burned around the camp, illuminating the camouflage tents and the forests with ghostly shadows and whistling winds in the distance.
Chuncao took a few deep breaths.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but she always felt that the night air contained the smell of decaying forest trees, the smell of insect corpses in the soil, and the salty water vapor of the waterfall in the distance; The stench is gradually gathering here under the cover of darkness.
She shivered.
"No, don't talk about Feng Shui. This ghost place is really uncomfortable. The more I talk about it, the more empty I feel... I have to go back tonight to solve the poor dog tail Hua Yanhao."
In the communications office, Sinan raised his head inexplicably.
Zhou Rong asked excitedly, "What's wrong with Yan Hao's face?"
Sinan: "...what does the dog's tail flower mean?"
Chuncao in the receiver asked in a long voice, "Hey, Dad, haven't you learned about the dark history of old love with your new love?"
Zhou Rong laughed, lit a cigarette in the air, and said, "Our 118th Team Major Hua Yanhao has basically three personality models."
"First, it is a human-shaped rose with feet in normal state. Although the thorns are particularly hard, it is generally harmless as long as you don't irritate him. When you encounter an object of your heart, such as you, you will be especially pouting and tricking. The bee attracts butterflies. The second is the dog's tail flower, which basically only appears when the mood is depressed. The external expression is melancholy, sad, and charming, and when it is used on the cafeteria aunt, it can often get a surprising and winning effect."
"The third state is piranha, also known as Nepenthes." Zhou Rong shook his index finger and said, "The most violent attack so far was when I was the captain of the airborne. Comrade Yan Hao used the He used all kinds of vile tactics such as gang formation, public provocation, murder with sharp weapons, and planned assassination, and he almost drove me directly into the morgue..."
Chuncao said: "I have to be fair to Yan Hao, if you didn't beat him three times a day at the mealtime, then Yan Hao wouldn't kill him. He clearly said before that he only intended to knock you into a vegetative state. come."
Simon: "..."
Sinan raised his hand and applauded, showing admiration politely.
"The tricky part is," Chuncao said earnestly, standing on the high stone, "Yan Hao's dog tail flower mode and pig cage... and piranha mode occasionally switch to each other. For example, when he succeeds in casting a spell on the cafeteria aunt, When he got half a spoonful of potatoes and beef, he could quickly return to normal from his self-pity state; but if it was the warrior brother who beat the rice and the other party didn't eat his way, Yan Hao was likely to become a piranha out of thin air. , to force the other party..."
In the night, a dark shadow flashed from the woods and gradually approached behind Chuncao.
"Forcing what?" Sinan laughed and asked, "How did his dog tail pattern come about this time?"
Chuncao: "Well, this is a long story. In the final analysis, it's because of you... ah!!"
A cold hand grabbed Chuncao's ankle.
The communication device slammed to the ground, and the channel was cut off; Chuncao grabbed the gun and turned back, the bullet was loaded, the other party held the muzzle like lightning and raised it, the next moment a faint questioning sounded: "What are you talking about?"
At the critical moment, Chuncao's index finger that pulled the trigger paused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Yan Hao!"
Chuncao jumped off the stone and picked up the communicator, but it was broken when it fell from a height of nearly three meters. No matter how it was adjusted, there was only a single rustling sound of electric current.
Yan Hao stood behind the rock with his arms folded, and said angrily: "I'm fine! The state is stable and there is nothing abnormal! The mood is very stable! What are you worrying about? Don't tell the captain about everything!"
Chuncao was holding the communication device and wanted to cry without tears. Tang Hao in the center of the camp noticed the movement here and shouted sharply: "There! Why don't you go to bed?!"
Yan Hao immediately carried Chuncao by the back of the neck and carried her away.
Four people in a tent, Da Ding and Xiangzi are ready to sleep. Chuncao groped and got into the sleeping bag, only to hear Yan Hao babbling on the side: "Don't tell Brother Rong everything, understand, what if Sinan knows what to do? What do you want Sinan to think? He is a very simple person. If you think that you have done nothing wrong at all, you will make him have a bad impression of me... "
Spring Grass: "… "
The sound of the wind in the dark night pierced through the forest, sharp and shrill, with one after another crying.
"He will think that I am very stingy and stingy, and I still hold a lot of insignificant things. In fact, I feel nothing now. Brother Rong is indeed a good partner. I will try my best to calm down my emotions and put my mind right... "
"and many more."
Yan Hao: "It's my own problem in the end... eh?"
Chuncao listened carefully and sat up slowly, a cold light flashing in her eyes in the darkness.
"Listen," she said softly, "did you hear anything?"
The cold wind leaked into the tent, and thousands of branches swayed together, like dry hands swaying, making rustling and rustling sounds.
Yan Hao frowned gradually, Ding Shi and Guo Weixiang seemed to have discovered something, and turned over to sit up at the same time.
"Woo-"
"Woooo-"
"Roar!!"
The familiar screams suddenly sounded, and they gathered rapidly from all directions, and the expressions of several people changed drastically at the same time!
Chuncao jumped out of the sleeping bag, grabbed the gun, and went straight to the entrance of the tent. Just as she lifted the curtain, sharp alarms exploded throughout the camp!
"Everyone!" Tang Hao's roar resounded through the night sky: "Prepare to fight! Immediately!! The zombies are coming!!"
A hundred meters around the camp, the firelight reflected the rotten faces of the zombies and the withered hands that stretched forward like a forest. In the blink of an eye, they were densely packed, but it was impossible to count how many.
And farther away, in the dark night, people's heads swayed and their footsteps dragged, like an endless army of living dead, and in an instant, the entire camp was surrounded by an island in a sea of corpses!
·
- bang!
Zhou Rong and Sinan turned their heads together, only to see Zheng Zhongzheng's face ashen, hurried forward, slammed a stack of documents on the table, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "The news just reported by the flight team. Romuel disappeared in the middle of the plane on his way back to country A, and the radar could not track it, and now it is initially suspected that it crashed."
Zhou Rong's pupils shrank.
Lieutenant General Zheng and Zhou Rong looked at each other, and the surroundings fell into a brief and bewildered silence.
"It's ok."
The two turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see Sinan sitting sideways with a flat expression: "I express my understanding as Romuel's only surviving family member and do not hold anyone accountable. I am sorry and saddened by my brother's accident. Will you write a signed letter for you?"
Lieutenant General Zheng: "..."
Zheng Zhengjun's perception of the former Baiying instructor was refreshed in an instant, but he was just relieved, and before he could complete the plan proposed by Sinan, suddenly there were urgent footsteps in the corridor, and a second lieutenant from the Communications Department rushed over. : "General! Things are not good here, General! The latest news from the Black Falcon team, the zombie horde raided at night, and the camp has been surrounded!"
Before Zheng Xie's old heart fell into his stomach, he was immediately mentioned in his throat. Zhou Rong suddenly got up: "What did you say?!"
"There are too many zombies to estimate. Everyone is in the camp." The second lieutenant said in a trembling voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Tang Hao cut off the communication.
