Gollum —
The turquoise water was so turbid that he couldn't see anything clearly in a hurry, but Sinan didn't panic. He quickly held his breath within three seconds of falling into the water, and kicked his long legs violently back. The ambusher was kicked in the lower abdomen, and immediately spewed a mouthful of blood foam, which filled the river with scarlet, and involuntarily let go of his hand and sank.
Sinan twisted and dived in an uproar in the water. The heavy equipment gave him a great sinking speed, and he caught up with the ambush in almost an instant, grabbing the opponent's wrist and neck!
"...!" The ambush man didn't even have the slightest power to fight back, he could only kick his legs and struggle in vain, constantly spraying blisters.
At this time, Sinan's oxygen was almost at the end - the violent movements in the water were especially oxygen consumption, and when he fell into the water, he was caught off guard and spit out half a breath. Just as he was about to twist the opponent's throat with a ruthless hand, and then quickly float up to inhale oxygen, his powerful fingers suddenly stopped.
The other's throat and wrist were surprisingly thin.
- is a woman.
A ridiculous guess suddenly flashed across Sinan's mind. After half a second of weighing, he decisively loosened the opponent's throat, grabbed her hand and twisted it, then restrained the opponent's waist from the back, and hurried along the river's undercurrent. Run away.
"call!"
Sinan suddenly emerged from the water, gasping for breath, and holding up the ambush who was nearly strangled to death by him - as he had guessed, it was Chuncao.
"Hu, huhu, cough..." Chuncao was out of breath, and was pulled by Sinan to the shore.
They were already hundreds of meters away from the cave besieged by the zombies. The terrain along the riverbed became flat, and the rocky beach was connected with dense bushes and woods. As soon as Chuncao came ashore, he began to cough frantically, and almost spit out his lungs from his throat. He was probably alarmed by the sound, and six or seven zombies staggered out of the dense forest one after another.
"Woo-woo-"
"Roar!"
Sinan's submachine gun had been thrown into the river, he hurried forward and pulled out the military triangular thorn, killing all the zombies with one knife and one bare hand. The living dead wandering in the canyon were basically rotten, and cold weapons were enough to deal with the small number of them. After confirming that there were no more living dead around, Sinan finally had the opportunity to turn around and pant and ask, "What's going on?"
"Cough cough cough!!!" Chun Cao barely stopped the choking cough, her little face was pale and blue, and she sat on the ground.
"You, your hands are too dark. You have such heavy hands on underage girls, cough, cough, cough! I am full... cough cough!!!"
"Are you underage?" Sinan asked suspiciously, "I heard from Zhou Rong that you are already eighteen. Do you want to lie to me for an extra birthday present?"
Chuncao waved his hands weakly: "A woman's age is a secret. Don't pursue it at this time... How come you are with Tang Hao? Have you seen Xiangzi? Is Xiangzi still alive? Where is Brother Rong?"
"Severely injured and alive. Where's Ding Shi?"
"It's fine, Ding, you say first... No, this is not the place to talk, you come with me."
Chuncao stood up against the stone and motioned for Sinan to follow her all the way down the river bank, avoiding the forest where zombies were haunted. Sinan briefly told her that he had hijacked the plane from the base and ran out of the base, found the camp, was deliberately led to see Tang Hao, and how to get to the cave; Chuncao listened as he walked, and finally admitted: "Yes, just surrounded you just now. The zombies were led by me, and I followed you from the waterfall."
Sinan asked, "Do you suspect Tang Hao?"
Chuncao hesitated for a while before saying, "I was sure he had a ghost, but you said just now that Xiangzi is still alive, so I'm a little unsure... It's a long story, and I'll start with the zombies' night attack on the camp. rise."
The spring grass coat has been lost, only wearing a tattered vest, with purple-black scratches and tooth marks all over his arms and back. Her fine short ear-length hair tickly fell into the water, and she couldn't help shivering when the wind blew, and Sinan took off his coat and handed it to her.
"Hey, thank you," Chuncao sighed, wrapping the camouflage uniform that was too large for her, "I really thought I was going to die that night. The camp was full of zombies, screaming and tearing up. Biting, mixed with gunshots, you can't rush out no matter what, you don't even know if you shot a living person or a dead person... I just remember that I have been shooting like crazy, and I was bitten a lot during this period, almost I didn't tear the flesh off my thighs alive."
She pointed to her neck, and the indentation left by the injection of the secondary antibody was very clear.
"The specific details will be discussed later. In short, we tried our best to kill the corpse group, but no matter what, we couldn't find Xiangzi. We were chased by the zombie group and shouted at him, and rescued a seriously injured teammate in the chaos. He told us He seemed to see an off-road vehicle coming out of the forest and pulled Tang Hao and someone who looked a bit like Xiangzi up."
Sinan interrupted her: "Is there a person from country A in the car?"
"I don't know, even though I doubt it." Chuncao said hoarsely, "I gave that person a secondary antibody, but... he couldn't get through."
The two fell silent at the same time.
"We trekked all night, all the supplies were lost, and the bullets ran out. After dawn, we were completely lost. It took a long time to find the camp, and we couldn't find any clues to Xiangzi."
Chuncao let out a long sigh and said, "We set up a temporary base, and Da Ding and I took turns to explore the road and forage for food. It wasn't until this morning that I finally touched the vicinity of the waterfall, but before I could find the camp, I saw you and me. Tang Hao walked all the way down the river bank. Since I have doubts about Tang Hao, I don't want to easily startle the snake. I followed you for a long time, and found that he deliberately led you to a remote place..."
"So I cut my palm to attract the zombies, dived and approached, and took advantage of the chaos to drag you into the water, so that the two of you could be separated." Chuncao paused, and his tone turned doubtful: "—I originally thought Tang Hao was an inner ghost. , colluded with the people on the off-road vehicle; but if he was, why did he not kill Shoko, who was seriously injured, but did his best to take care of him until he was rescued? This is unreasonable."
It is indeed unreasonable, unless Guo Weixiang is also collaborating with the enemy like Chief Tang. But this possibility is no different from Zhou Rong falling in love with Yan Hao suddenly, or Yan Hao suddenly falling in love with Lieutenant General Zheng; the probability is so small that it is really nothing to discuss.
The river twisted and turned, Chuncao waved to Sinan, and took the lead into the bushes.
"Tang Hao may have his own plans. No matter what, it's better to avoid him before meeting Brother Rong." Chuncao pulled out a machete and cut off the dense vines half a person's height. The words are all false, and the so-called cloth strips and road signs are also forged…”
"I know."
"?" Chuncao turned around and said, "How do you know?"
Sinan trudged through the knee-deep grass, with a sad smile in his eyes: "He said that the reason for leaving is because life and death are at stake, and no one cares about who. But I know that unless you confirm who is dead, you won't. Leaving anyone behind. It's not about life or death, it's not about your abilities, it's just because... because it's you."
Chuncao's movements were slightly stagnant, her eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed to have some feelings:
"Si Xiaonan..."
Sinan took off the blood-stained steel plate from his chest and spread it in his palm: "I found this."
Chuncao was stunned: "Ah? How did you—"
She wanted to ask you how to hang it around her neck, how dirty it is and don't wipe it off, but Sinan interrupted her suddenly, as if evading any questions from the outside world: "I still need some time."
Chuncao: "?"
"It may take a long time for me to accept the fact that Yan Hao has left. Can I keep it until then?"
Chuncao: "Huh?!"
Chuncao was stunned.
Sinan: "... how?"
The two looked at each other, and after a thousandth of a second, Chuncao reacted very quickly, and immediately raised her hand to cover her face, and forced a painful voice out of her throat: "Okay...Okay, keep it if you want... But you Where did you find this dog... steel plate?"
"Camp. Lots of corpses, and I brought everyone's nameplates."
Chuncao: "Ah, okay, it turned out to be the camp... You... No wonder I said why you were not happy at all... Are you sad for Yan Hao?"
Sinan hung the steel plate around his neck and said hoarsely, "I just want to know how he died."
Chuncao: "Do you have to know this? It's not good to know this kind of tragic thing too well... But I thought you didn't like Yan Hao, didn't you tell him to die? Why now... Hey! Si! Xiao Nan! Don't cry!"
Simon didn't cry. But he stood there motionless, not even blinking his eyes, as if his whole body was frozen, and it took a long while before his eyes turned slightly red.
"No," he forced a smile: "I just regret it."
"..." Chuncao struggled inwardly for a while, then asked cautiously, "Do you regret yelling at him last time?"
Sinan pressed his nose with both hands and wiped it hard, as if he suppressed some indescribable sadness and sourness with this action. Immediately, he bypassed the spring grass, and walked forward without looking back.
"I regret that I didn't apologize to him earlier. He was right that time, but it was me. Actually... I don't want him to die at all."
Chuncao swallowed hard and finally decided to tell the truth:
"That... Si Xiaonan, actually... "
With a bang, half of his body was hung upside down from the tree. Yan Hao turned his head down and his feet up. In an instant, he came face to face with Sinan, and said faintly: "It's okay, I understand, I really don't need to apologize, the dog tag is here for you. "
Simon: "..."
Sinan was motionless as if struck by an electric shock, and fell backward for a while.
"Si Xiaonan!!!"
Ten minutes later, with a blank expression on Sinan's face, he sat under the tree while Yan Hao hurriedly picked up his clothes to help him fan the air.
"I was wrong, I really didn't mean to. After 118 was withdrawn, it issued a new dog tag to us. I used the old one as a talisman and kept it in my hands. I lost it in the chaos that night... Hey Si Xiaonan, listen to me. Say, do you want to drink water, do you want to eat fruit, brother, let me tell you a joke. There used to be a mute, he... "
Sinan's reason snapped off.
Yan Hao screamed and was pushed to the ground. Sinan pinched his neck and said sullenly, "You will soon become mute."
Chuncao and Ding Shi hugged each other, and it took a lot of power to rescue Yan Hao from the hands of destroying flowers. Si Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Holding the dog tag, he said angrily, "If you were in Bai Ying! I already broke my leg! And you!"
Chuncao hurriedly retreated behind Yan Hao, and Sinan asked, "Who said that Yan Hao died? Your eighteen-year-old gift is gone!"
Chuncao immediately shouted, "You only asked if Da Ding is still alive, how do I know why you didn't ask Yan Xiaohao! And you didn't intend to give me a present for my eighteenth birthday!"
Sinan knew that he was wrong, so he sat back in his place angrily, holding the blue veins on his forehead with one hand.
"Okay, don't be angry," Yan Hao suppressed a smile and came out to smooth things out: "The nameplates are all required to be worn in front of the chest. It's normal for you to think that I was eaten by zombies, so it fell to the ground... By the way, Si Xiaonan, brother. I didn't know that you didn't want me to die so much, but I was really touched by listening to you on the tree just now..."
"It's too late." Sinan said coldly, "I cried bitterly in the camp for half an hour holding your dog tag, but unfortunately you can't hear it."
Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, with a "What did I miss?!" expression on his face.
Sinan ignored him. He took care of himself and pulled out the water barrier from his soaked backpack and fired a signal bomb into the sky: "Let's go. Find a place to hide nearby and wait for the big troops to come."
Chuncao told the story of the encounter with Tang Hao and the absconding after falling into the river. Several people got up and cleaned up their poor temporary residence. The pillows made of leaves and clothes, a few sabers, and slingshots cut from branches are all their property. Sinan's submachine gun also fell into the river. The former 118 team has never been so poor, as if they were wealthy by the landlord. Yang Bailao, who was chasing debts, had a very miserable moment.
Fortunately, there were still some water-soaked dry food, grenades, ropes, and first aid kits in Sinan's backpack. He divided the rest of the supplies, and a few people used machetes to split the waist-deep bushes and headed for a deeper hidden place in the woods. .
"We'll meet up with Brother Rong and then go to Tang Hao." Yan Hao nibbled at the compressed biscuits with a knife in one hand and said vaguely, "He deliberately wanted to lead Sinan to that cave, I guess there are some problems in it, so I should search it. "
"Do you think the zombie night attack had something to do with him?" Chuncao asked.
Several people looked at each other, and after a while Yan Hao said, "No, I don't think so. If he really wants to kill everyone, he should run first, but Tang Hao did fight to the last moment, and he was shocked and angry at that time. It's not like it's fake."
"However," Yan Hao changed his words again: "If we find evidence related to him being wiped out of the entire army, we must tear him alive and avenge everyone."
The sun has fully traveled to the mid-heaven, and the vicinity is quiet and silent. The tireless roar of the zombies is far away, mixed with the whimpering wind, echoing across the valley.
They stopped in the shade of a towering ancient tree, ate and chatted head-to-head, analyzed the terrain of the canyon, and guessed where the antibodies would fall. Ding Shi was uneasy and asked Sinan about his little golden flower. Sinan cleverly swept away the part where she held the gun to Jinhua's head, only to say that in order to contribute a little bit of strength, she had specially applied for assistance in the navigation of the search and rescue plane, and said herself that she hoped Ding Can come back alive.
Ding Shi was immediately moved to death: "I knew that Xiao Jinhua'er can do anything, even fly a plane. She has been the prettiest and smartest girl in our village since she was a child..."
Chuncao looked at him with a toothache expression on his face.
Sinan sat cross-legged in the grass, holding his cheeks without speaking. He seemed to have suddenly removed some invisible and heavy shackles, calmed down from the inside, and even gave birth to a feeling of relaxation and comfort.
Although he was a little hungry and lacked in sugar, the high-intensity trek that lasted for 12 hours without sleep made his muscles very sore, and as soon as he calmed down, he immediately poured out uncontrollable fatigue; although the antibody did not know where in the vast canyon it landed, and Romuel's group is likely to be lurking a short distance away, and the situation in front of them is still full of crises.
But at least for now he was sitting with his companions.
Zhou Rong is also coming here.
Sinan closed his eyes, drowsiness surged up, and suddenly there was a rustling movement not far away, and a large number of voices came from far to near.
Chuncao listened carefully for a moment, then Huo Ran got up: "It's the search and rescue team! Brother Rong and the others are here!"
It would be a lie to say that they were not excited. Everyone immediately got up and shouted and walked back. Soon they heard the high-pitched response of the search and rescue team from the place where the flares were placed in the distance.
"Where's Si Xiaonan?" Zhou Rong's roar came from the jungle vines: "Don't tell me he ran away again! This time I can't take it anymore! Pity the fragile heart of a poor married man!"
Sinan laughed, just followed his teammates for two steps, suddenly stopped, carefully pressed his short messy hair with his hands, lifted the corners of his clothes to wipe the sweat and dust on his face, and bent over to tuck the camouflage trousers into his military boots.
He had never stopped to sort out his image before seeing someone in his life, but just as he was about to straighten up, the shade of the tree above his head rattled and a heavy object roared down.
Bang!
- That's a person!
Sinan was kneeling on one knee, and he was crushed and rolled before he could react. The next second, the muzzle of the gun pressed against his temple, and a rough, bruised elbow grabbed his throat from behind and forced him from the ground. picked up.
More than ten meters ahead, Yan Hao suddenly turned his head and roared, "Put him down!"
Sinan's face changed slightly, only to hear Tang Hao's tired and determined voice from behind:
"You can't go there, come with me."
