The canyon was so quiet that there were no birds, no beasts, or even any mosquitoes, as if all creatures had escaped from this world ruled by the living dead.
There are only abnormally dense plants, frantically covering every inch of space from the ground to the sky.
The morning sun gradually rose, and the gray morning mist receded from the woods, turning into a mist of cyan and light cyan, and in an instant, it was penetrated by the thin gold-like sunlight, and the shadows of the trees and grass slowly moved backwards with the sun.
Sinan raised the muzzle and moved silently behind the tree.
At this moment, behind the bushes more than ten meters away, there was a sudden swaying violently!
- Boom! Bang bang bang!
Sinan opened fire suddenly, and the other party ran away under the cover of towering ancient trees!
Sinan dodged closely behind him and fired a few more shots, but he failed to hit even when the trees were hidden and he was moving at a high speed. The other party is obviously more familiar with the environment than he is. He specializes in drilling in rough and difficult places. Sinan was caught off guard and stepped into the tree pit, and was instantly submerged by countless dead branches and rotten leaves. Body weight plus thirty or forty kilograms of equipment.
"Fuck me..." Sinan cursed inwardly, climbed to the ground, raised his head and looked around.
The man had fled early, completely lost, and he had chased to the edge of the canyon, far from the waterfall.
Sinan observed for a moment in the crooked bushes all over the ground, and got up and saw a rushing stream not far away—the man should have jumped into the stream and quickly fled away, completely erasing the traces, making it impossible to trace at all.
Sinan walked to the stream with one foot shallowly, washed his face, and his frowning eyebrows were reflected in the stream.
Who killed the four special forces and led the zombies to the camp
Who was the one who deliberately brought him here just now
Sinan scooped water with his palm and slammed it on his face. After doing this a few times, he shook his wet short hair and suddenly shouted in English, "Romuel! What trick are you playing?!"
The surroundings were quiet, not even an echo.
"—Romuel!" Sinan said sharply, "Come out!"
pat—
Sinan Misheng turned his head, the muzzle locked instantly, and he saw a ball protruding from a rock crevice not far away.
"..." The ball was stunned for a moment, and then a voice came out: "Si Nan?!"
Sinan narrowed his eyes: "Tang... Chief?"
·
"It's Tang Hao, thank you." Five minutes later, Tang Hao pulled Sinan up and led him into the hidden cave behind the crevice. He said helplessly, "My luck has always been normal, and it's only when I touch Zhou Rong that I have a special back. It's not really mine."
The cave twists and turns, and after walking about twenty steps and turning, there is a space of seven or eight square meters in front, and three gray-faced and haggard special forces stand up one after another: "Lieutenant Colonel!"
Tang Hao motioned them to sit down, and Sinan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure lying motionless in the corner, stepped forward to take a look, and took a breath: "... Guo Weixiang?"
Guo Weixiang's eyes were closed, his face was gray, his abdomen was in a mess, bandaged, and purple-black blood was oozing out, and he didn't look like a person at all. Sinan immediately checked his temperature and pulse. He had a fatal high fever, and it was obvious that he had been infected. If it dragged on, the situation would become very dangerous.
"It's been like this when I found him. It's been almost 72 hours." Tang Hao said solemnly, "Thank you for being here, otherwise Master Guo's life would probably have to be explained here."
Sinan pulled out the antibiotic from his backpack, grabbed Guo Weixiang's neck and forcibly poured it in. He quickly prepared the special forces' life-saving injection to inject him into the lateral blood vessels of his neck, and asked, "What's going on?"
"In the middle of the night of the attack, I took the rest of the team and killed the zombie group. All the equipment and weapons were lost in the middle. I couldn't see anything clearly in the chaos, and I got separated from others in a hurry..."
Sinan glanced at him with the look of "he said you were not an African chief".
"I soaked in the stream all night and returned to the camp the next day. I was lucky enough to go to see if there were any survivors, but I met him." Tang Hao pointed to Guo Weixiang and said, "At that time, he was hiding in a tree. In the pit, he had already been infected with the zombie virus. He probably gave himself a secondary antibody before he fell unconscious. Fortunately, he did not become a zombie. I dragged him out and found that his abdomen was full of bloodstains - it should be in the dark on the night of the zombie attack. For those who were hit by my own stray bullet, thanks to the strong healing effect of secondary antibodies, after I dug out the bullet, it became what it is now."
Tang Hao always hid an indescribable worry between his brows. He sat on the damp ground against the wall and sighed wearily.
Sinan was noncommittal, and suddenly asked after a while, "How did you find this place?"
"I carried him around for a long time until I met them—" Tang Hao motioned to the special forces and said, "They found this cave, fortunately the terrain is high and hidden, otherwise Master Guo's bloody smell would have killed him. Zombies were attracted. For the next two days, I went out to search for survivors during the day, but I didn’t have any weapons, and there were many zombies nearby, and I never encountered any living people or search and rescue teams.”
Tang Hao wiped his face hard, changed the subject and asked, "How did you find this place? Where are the troops?"
Sinan said, "Zhou Rong is behind."
Tang Hao: "..."
The two stared at each other, and Tang Hao couldn't help asking, "What else?"
"I was brought here on purpose." Sinan said simply, "No more."
Tang Hao suddenly stood up: "What? There are still people living in the canyon? Who brought you here? What does it look like? Can you see who it is?"
Simon: "No."
The two looked at each other again, Tang Hao's head was full of "...", while Sinan's eyes were flat and his expression was magnanimous, as if he had already finished what he had to say.
After a long while, Tang Hao finally couldn't help but cautiously said: "Has anyone ever offered you any friendly advice on communication skills?"
"No, do you want to mention it?"
Tang Hao: "...No no no, nothing."
Sinan dug out dry food and water from his bag and distributed it to the three special forces, got out of the cave, fired a flare on the edge of the cliff, then retreated, picked up his backpack and said, "The search and rescue team will be here soon, I'm leaving ."
Tang Hao said stunned, "Where are you going?"
"Keep looking for someone."
"Don't wait for Zhou Rong and the others to come and meet?"
Sinan said lightly: "Actually, I don't like team action that much. I am faster alone."
Tang Hao immediately stopped: "No, the person who brought you just now hasn't figured out the identity, it's too dangerous to act alone! I've searched the area several times, and there are no traces of any survivors at all. In the absence of professional equipment Even if you can't rely on human power..."
Tang Hao's words stopped abruptly, and he saw Sinan's clenched fist stretched out in front of him, and when he loosened it, a blood-stained steel nameplate fell in the air.
1180610, Yan Hao.
"There are two more." Sinan said calmly, "Until I find them, no matter what happens, I will not stop."
No one spoke in the cave. After a while, a special soldier in the corner put down the kettle and said hoarsely, "I'll go with you."
"I also… "
The three got up one after another, and Tang Hao interrupted them: "No! You guys are in such a bad state!" Then he turned to Sinan: "Give me a gun, and I'll go with you."
"Lieutenant Colonel!..."
Tang Hao's attitude was very firm, but Sinan hesitated for a while and didn't answer.
"If you're looking for Yangchuncao and Ding Shi, I might know where they went. I was with them when I broke through the siege late that night, and we got separated before crossing the river. If they didn't change direction halfway, they should I can trace their traces along the river bank." Tang Hao opened his palm, looked at Sinan, and repeated: "Give me a gun, and I'll go find them with you."
After more than ten seconds, Sinan finally took off the pistol from his waist and threw it.
Tang Hao caught it accurately, and saw Sinan turn around and walk out, and said lightly: "Save it, there are only five bullets."
·
Outside the canyon, the sun has fully risen. Except for the high-altitude stone walls, the mountains and plains are full of dark green, and the sun shines so brightly that people can't open their eyes.
"Have you seen it before?" Tang Hao let go of the rope and jumped off the rocky cliff, and gave a short laugh: "There are no animals, no insects, only plants that look creepy, as if all living things are written in their genes against zombies. The fear of the virus, the planet is about to be taken over by the living dead and plants."
They crossed the tree ditch along the way and walked through the lush forest. After a meal, there was a faint roar of the waterfall in the distance.
Sinan was carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment and was a few steps behind. Tang Hao took the initiative: "I'll help you get it."
However, Sinan shook his head.
"...You Omega," Tang Hao had to withdraw his hand and forcefully clawed away the bushes that were more than half the height of a human being, and said inexplicably, "It's not the same as all the Omegas I've ever seen, I feel that you can live without an Alpha, why did you end up in the end? I found Zhou Rong..."
boom!
Tang Hao paused, and the bullet passed by, knocking down the zombies behind the tree dozens of steps away.
boom! boom! boom!
Sinan shot one, killing all the zombies within 100 meters in the surrounding jungle with extremely low visibility, and all those who were shot were accurately headshot. Concentratingly, he glanced around from behind the scope, and said softly, "Speak as if you've seen a lot of Omegas."
Tang Hao: "..."
"Clear," Sinan lowered his muzzle: "Let's go."
Tang Hao: "...Hey, tell me! Has anyone ever been in communication skills...that...forget it."
The sound of the waterfall roared, reflecting countless colorful lights in the sun. They bypassed the camp far away, and Sinan never put off the signal flare to inform the main force, and Tang Hao didn't mention it. He just focused on recognizing the environment along the way to recall the retreat route late that night, and the two stopped and went all the way.
After walking along the river bank for a meal, the terrain suddenly increased, the river turned sharply down, and the height difference formed a cliff about seven or eight meters high. Tang Hao observed it for a long time, and stood in a very uncertain manner: "Maybe... it should be here. When I broke through here late that night, the zombie group chased after me, and I was separated from the others in a hurry... "
Sinan suddenly asked back, "They didn't care about you?"
Tang Hao laughed and said, "Everyone's bullets are out, it's pitch black, and the demons are dancing wildly. The visibility is not even half a meter. How can they take care of me in that situation?"
Sinan nodded, didn't say a word, half-knelt before the falling cliff and looked at the river carefully, wondering what he was thinking.
Tang Hao looked at his back and felt that sometimes he didn't quite understand this former White Eagle instructor. He did not hesitate to betray country A where he grew up for more than 20 years. However, after coming to country C, he did not show the slightest affection or nostalgia for this place at all; he seemed to have a sense of responsibility for the special forces teammates of 118. But after seeing Guo Weixiang, who was seriously injured and dying, apart from calmly and decisively taking medicine immediately, there was no other emotional touch.
When everyone gets together, he is the weakest and most silent one. But when the group encountered difficulties and everyone was at a loss, he was the first to solve the problem.
No one can know what's going on in his head, and no one can predict what unexpected actions he'll take next.
Tang Hao lowered his eyes and concealed his complicated thoughts. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "Hey, does the surrounding environment look familiar to you?"
"not very?"
"I was thinking... if you had remembered your way after the crash and had come with us a few days ago, you might have found the antibodies right away."
Sinan glanced back at him: "Why make such an apparently non-existent assumption?"
Tang Hao forcibly hooked the corners of his mouth, although it looked more like a wry smile: "It's nothing. I'm just afraid that there is only one tube of antibody samples in the world. If there is an accident, it will be gone."
Sinan said: "There is really only this sample. Maybe there are still paper materials at the Baiying base, but it is likely to have been damaged when the virus broke out."
Tang Hao's heartbeat seemed to miss half a beat, and his face suddenly became a little ugly: "What if it was accidentally lost? I mean, you said just now that someone deliberately led you there, which means that there are many people in this canyon besides us. There may be another group of people, in case they get the antibodies in advance..."
"It will be very troublesome." Sinan said lightly, "so we have to do it as soon as possible."
It took a long time for Tang Hao to cough reluctantly and said, "Yes, I think so too."
Sinan looked at him carefully for a few seconds, but did not speak. Tang Hao got up unnaturally: "I want to go down and check. If those people walked through the waterway, they might leave clues or guideposts on the shore."
"Don't look at it."
"Um?"
"There," Sinan raised his hand and pointed in that direction. There was something black hanging in the bushes by the river beach under the cliff.
Tang Hao was stunned, and immediately ran away. The two of them almost rolled down the steep and smooth cliff. The river beach was full of smooth pebbles. Weeds and shrubs were growing wildly on the steep slope. Tang Hao took the lead and climbed up, only to see a long, dead branch tied to the top of the dead branch. Black cloth!
"It's our T-shirt!" Tang Hao grabbed the cloth strip and handed it to Sinan, took off his camouflage jacket, and pulled out the collar of the black T-shirt inside: "Look! This is it! It must be them. Tear it off and tie it here, for us to signpost, there must be more around here…”
Sinan immediately refused: "No, don't watch, speak well and don't take off your clothes."
Tang Hao hurriedly buttoned his jacket, climbed down the steep slope and ran forward, and found more traces with almost no effort: "Come on! There is blood here!"
Sinan followed. About twenty steps away, dried blood was clearly rubbing against the bottom of the rock and the ground. Going forward in the direction of the dripping extension, new blood droplets can be found about every few steps. It seems that Chuncao and the others were seriously injured when they escaped.
"They shot," Sinan crouched down, took out metal bullet casings from under the grass, looked up and said, "They have encountered zombies here."
Tang Hao's face changed: "Look, what is that?"
The river bank suddenly rises, and there is a hole on the cliff wall not far away, about three or four meters above the ground, and can barely climb up with the help of raised rocks.
On the weeds growing in the vertical rock crevices, there were extremely obvious large bloodstains, as if being pressed by someone who was bathed in blood.
Tang Hao looked up at the cave, and his voice was not right: "Will they be in there?"
Sinan's pupils clenched tightly, staring thoughtfully at the dark hole.
"Is there anyone?" Tang Hao shouted loudly: "Hey! Is there anyone! Come out!"
The rushing river rushes by their feet, the shrill wind whistles through the valley, but there is nothing else.
Tang Hao walked under the cliff and motioned for Sinan to come up: "Put down your gun and equipment, and step on my shoulder to take a look. Don't go in too deep, and be careful in case there are snakes inside."
However, Sinan stared at him without moving.
"Come on, what's wrong?"
Sinan's eyes are deep and slanted, and the outline is good-looking, but when he stares at something like this, his light-colored eyes, which are different from ordinary people, have a cold and soul-stirring look.
"I won't put down my gun and equipment." He stared at Tang Hao, his voice low, but his words were very clear: "When I'm alone with you, I won't let go of my weapon."
Tang Hao was startled, then turned around slowly:
"Are you guarding against me?"
·
"Hang down carefully! Slow down! Don't bump into it!"
Zhou Rong, carrying a submachine gun, personally instructed the soldiers above to hoist the simple stretcher for the march down the stone cliff. He was firmly caught by several search and rescue team members on the ground, and the medics rushed forward immediately to start the inspection.
"Xiangzi!" Zhou Rong stepped forward quickly, his face turned ashen: "How is he?"
The medical soldier shook his head while taking life-saving medicine: "The situation is very bad. The gunshot wound in the abdomen has begun to be infected, and surgery needs to be arranged as soon as possible."
Zhou Rong turned his head and instructed: "Notify the headquarters that there are three survivors and one seriously injured, and ask the helicopter to pick them up immediately, hurry!" Then he asked the three rescued special forces: "Where's the one who sent the signal flare just now? !"
Soldier, look at me, I look at you: "He wants to go out to continue the search and rescue, and has already left..."
"He said he moved faster alone, and Lieutenant Colonel Tang insisted on going with him..."
Zhou Rong clenched his back molars, his mind buzzing. He was about to force himself to pull out the following action plan from his restless emotions, when suddenly someone touched the back of his hand: "... Rong..."
"He's awake!" the medic said in a stunned voice: "Don't, don't move! Don't talk!"
Zhou Rong turned his head abruptly, only to see Guo Weixiang struggling to lift two fingers, his lips that were chapped and bleeding silently opened and closed, as if trying to make a sound: "Rong...brother..."
"Brother Rong is here, don't worry, it's alright." Zhou Rong said solemnly: "I will arrange a plane soon... Don't move! Xiangzi!"
"Dang..." Guo Weixiang tilted his neck and seemed to want to raise his head desperately: "Dang, be careful..."
Zhou Rong frowned, raised his hand to stop the medic who wanted to stop, leaned over and put his ear to Guo Weixiang's lips, only to hear him spit out a few words angrily: "Be careful... he..."
The next name made Zhou Rong's complexion change dramatically, and he thought he had heard it wrong for a moment, but then realized that he didn't.
Guo Weixiang gasped violently again in his chest: "Brother Rong...you..."
"Understood, don't worry." Zhou Rong's tail trembled slightly, but his tone was firm and strong: "I know, I will go immediately."
Guo Weixiang seemed to have completed some kind of obsession, his body suddenly fell into a daze, and the medics rushed over to start first aid. The surrounding soldiers were in chaos, Zhou Rong hurried out of the crowd, grabbed the special forces rescued from the cave, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did they go?"
The three soldiers looked at each other blankly, and then one of them suddenly remembered: "The river bank!"
"That person insisted on looking for Ding Shi and Yang Chuncao, and Lieutenant Colonel Tang said that they should search along the river bank!" Another person also remembered: "They may have gone in the direction of the waterfall!"
Zhou Rong let go of the soldiers, turned around and shouted to the search and rescue team, "Go!"
·
Meanwhile, on the banks of the river.
The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and the sound of the river hitting the stones became particularly evident. Tang Hao turned around and stood still, his face neither happy nor angry, before asking after a long time, "What's your opinion on me?"
The blood on the high rock wall was bright and dazzling, but Sinan seemed to be suddenly indifferent, "No opinion."
"Then you still..."
"I once saved a person." Sinan said plainly, "I thought saving a life was equivalent to trust, but when I tried to cover him to leave first, I was caught off guard and sprayed with ether. He is not a bad person, on the contrary he is a A good guy in the ordinary sense, but I've since learned that gratitude and trust are two different things, and if I can't entrust my life to you, I can't put my gun down in front of you, that's all."
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sneered, pulled out his pistol with a clang and threw it away: "Is that all right?"
But Sinan still didn't move, his eyes looked over Tang Hao to the heights.
"What else do you want?" Tang Hao became impatient: "Don't you really want to climb on my shoulders with 40 kilograms of things on your back?! Okay, or I'll climb up first, and you slowly go down below... "
Sinan suddenly said nothing and drew his gun to aim - Tang Hao saw that the muzzle of the gun was facing him, his pupils tightened in an instant, and the next moment he only heard "Bang!"
The bullet passed by his ear, Tang Hao turned back like a cramp, and a headless zombie fell down from the cliff.
"Roar-"
"Hoohoo!"
The faint whistle of the wind was getting closer and closer, gradually turning into one after another roar. Tang Hao took a few steps back, and saw zombies appearing in twos and threes in the woods on the cliff, as if alarmed by their voices, and in a blink of an eye, they gathered more and more!
clap clap! Snapped!
A few zombies staggered and fell off the cliff, and in front of them there was a splash of juice, and the corpses were divided by five horses. More zombies stumbled and rolled down the steep slope. Some fell to the ground and their lumbar spine was broken. They crawled forward along the ground. Come up!
Sinan fired resolutely, and the submachine gun beat the first wave of zombies that rolled off the cliff and fell back one after another. Tang Hao rolled his head and picked up his pistol. He shot the head of the zombie in front of him with great precision. He rushed to the mountain wall and shouted, "Come up to the cave! Hurry!"
Sinan glanced at him during the fierce firing, and at this moment, the second wave of more than a dozen ragged zombies staggered and blocked up!
There were only four bullets left in Tang Hao's gun barrel, and he couldn't collide with the zombies at all, so he quickly grabbed the rock and climbed up. In the nick of time, he dodged the rotten hand that the zombie grabbed towards his ankle, and was about to turn his head to see how Sinan was doing, when he heard a loud voice—Whoa!
The sound of water? !
Si Nan stepped back while firing, and quickly retreated to the riverbed. The submachine gun swept away the rows of zombies, their limbs flying, their brains exploded, and the bullet casings tinkled all over the ground. In an instant, the high firepower tore the zombies apart.
Before the next wave of more than a dozen zombies had time to surround him, Sinan was about to take advantage of the gap to rush towards the cliff, when suddenly there was a loud noise in the river behind him, something rushed out of the river, and then something restrained his waist.
It's a pair of cold hands!
The change was really too fast. Sinan didn't react at all during the firing interval, so he was pulled directly backwards by the opponent's arrogant force, and his feet instantly stepped on the air—
There was a loud bang, and then the water topped off!
Sinan spewed a string of bubbles in the turbid river water, realizing that he had been ambushed.
