Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 125: Secretly Crossing Chencang (4000 words, no chapters)

A few minutes later, four armored vehicles arrived at the explosion site. A team of people in protective suits jumped out of the vehicle and stood outside the burning shop, staring at the off-road vehicle that was left with only a skeleton.

Everyone knew that the person they were looking for was definitely not in the car.

The commander's face was gloomy: "Everyone, disperse and search in groups of two!"

There were only a few minutes between the time the drone separated and the arrival of the convoy, so the target certainly could not have gotten far.

The American soldiers who received the order dispersed silently, with each group standing one in front and one behind, keeping a sufficient safe distance.

Everyone knows that the target is armed and has strong combat capabilities. The first group to encounter it is likely to lose their lives.

This order is simply to trade human lives for the target.

Isn't the commander aware of the danger?

Of course he knew, but now was not the time to cherish his life. In his heart, the lives of the soldiers were far less important than digging out the target.

Lao Mi didn't know that Ou Yang and others were hiding in a building a few hundred meters away.

Lei Yong hid sideways by the window and observed the American troops who had just arrived with the corner of his eye.

He glanced down at his watch and curled his lips in disdain: "Seven minutes, not bad."

This is the time from when they abandoned the SUV to when the US troops arrived.

"Is it very slow?" Ou Yang asked curiously.

"It's okay." Lei Yong said, "It's slower than I expected."

He estimated that the arrival time was four minutes, and he hid immediately when the time came. However, he hid for more than three minutes before the American army finally arrived, which was half the expected time!
Ou Yang stretched his head to look around, but didn't see any American troops there: "Don't compare our own standards with those of the Americans."

Lei Yong held his head and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Look where the American troops are," Ou Yang said. "Let's hide here. Is that okay?"

"Don't worry." Lei Yong was full of confidence.

There are buildings all around, plenty of places where people can hide. The US military only has a few people, so they can't search them all.

Ou Yang was fine. Seeing that Zhu Yiming was a little dazed, he immediately poked his soft spot: "Hey, are you okay?"

"What are you doing!" Zhu Yiming rubbed his ribs and grinned.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Ou Yang asked.

"It's okay, my mind is just a little confused." Zhu Yiming knocked his head, "My head is still buzzing!"

Ou Yang teased mercilessly, "What? Are you used to staying at Lao Mi's place? Should I send you back?"

"Go away, be a human being!" Zhu Yiming punched Ou Yang with hatred, but the latter dodged it with a smile.

After a few words, the strangeness and estrangement caused by time quickly dissipated.

"You two, be quiet!" Lei Yong warned in a low voice, "Are you worried that Lao Mi won't be able to find you?"

Both of them were a little embarrassed. Zhu Yiming looked at Lei Yong, then at Ou Yang, and said hesitantly: "Well, I have something to ask you, can I ask you?"

Ou Yang felt that the Zhu Yiming in front of him must be fake: "Wow, you've made progress and even learned to beat around the bush? Are you having a fever?"

As he said that, he reached out and touched Zhu Yiming's forehead.

"Stop it, let's be serious!" Zhu Yiming slapped Ou Yang's hand away.

Lei Yong encouraged: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

He just asked Zhu Yiming to speak, and whether to answer or not depended on the specific situation.

Zhu Yiming carefully considered his words: "It was just a misunderstanding, wasn't it? Why don't you just stay and explain it clearly? Why do you have to run away like we've done something wrong?"

Ou Yang was stunned: "No, you don't have a fever, you just don't have a brain, brother!"

"Explain? What to explain?" Lei laughed and glanced at the American soldiers outside. "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to run away? That's a very naive idea!"

Zhu Yiming was bewildered: "Isn't that right?"

"It would be fine under normal circumstances, but not now," Lei Yong said. "If we really stay, will the US military listen to our explanation? We'll have to surrender our weapons first, and then take them away like prisoners. Wouldn't that be surrender?"

surrender?

Zhu Yiming was stunned: "Hey, hey, that's not what I meant!"

Even if he lacked common sense, he knew that the Chinese people regarded surrender as a great humiliation. No matter what the truth was, the experience of being controlled by the US military was no different from being captured by the US military. It was equivalent to a stain that could not be erased throughout his life.

Not to mention Lei Yong, even he himself could not accept this result.

Ou Yang stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling heartbroken and said, "You're just a fart in your head. What on earth are you thinking?"

Zhu Yiming's scalp was itchy, and he scratched it subconsciously. Suddenly, his scalp started to itch. "I never thought I would have to hand over my gun!"

"What do you think the US military is? Even a makeshift team from an underdeveloped region wouldn't make such a low-level mistake." Lei Yong saw two US soldiers coming towards him outside the window. "Even the US military isn't as naive as you."

Zhu Yiming quickly explained, "No, I just feel that this was a misunderstanding that could have been cleared up in a few words. Now that this has happened, won't the US military blame us for it?"

Lei Yong was about to correct Zhu Yiming's misunderstanding when Ou Yang asked back, "Do you think he won't dunk if you don't make a fuss?"

He had a deeper understanding of the American military's nature. "That was an internal conflict within the American military. If it got out, it would be a scandal, didn't you know that?"

"I know. Internal strife is internal strife. What does it have to do with us?"

"Oh my god!" Ou Yang rubbed his face vigorously. "Did you make the American military stupid? It was an internal conflict, such a serious matter, and we happened to be on the scene. When the US military reports this, do you think it would be better to say that it was a misunderstanding among their own people that led to the firefight, or would it be more respectable to say that someone attacked the airport and there was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides?"

Lei Yong added, "I don't need to explain what kind of person Lao Mi is, right? He always tries to find ways to put the blame on us, and when the opportunity is right in front of him, he's going to take it too far."

"I won't mention anything else for now. The US military isn't a charity. If we fall into their hands, they'll definitely resort to force. I can't even say I can withstand it. Tell me, can you two handle it?"

Ou Yang immediately shook his head, his mind full of whips, branding irons, tiger benches and pepper spray.

Times are changing, and the US military is also improving. They will certainly not use the backward methods of World War II, but the methods they use now are definitely more effective than simply relying on meat.

For example, there are legends about waterboarding or truth serum.

Zhu Yiming responded in a low voice: "I can't bear it."

"So, do you understand?" Ou Yang patted his shoulder, looking like a pleased old father, but he couldn't help laughing himself.

To be honest, he didn't think that much about it. It was simply because his identity was too sensitive and he didn't want to fall into the hands of the US military.

"Shh..." Lei Yong signaled the two to be quiet, "Lao Mi is coming over, let's change places!"

The three people left their hiding place, avoided the US military's search direction, and found a new place to hide.

Ou Yang suddenly fell silent, looking as if he was worried about something.

Zhu Yiming also poked him: "What are you thinking about?"

Ou Yang shook his head: "It's okay."

After saying that, he moved his butt and moved closer to Lei Yong: "Brother Lei, who knows what Lao Mi will do to us right now. Do you think we should inform our family as soon as possible?" "Don't doubt it, Lao Mi can do it!" Lei Yong said.

The US has always been good at confusing right and wrong. Once the airport reports the news, the US government will definitely hold the embassy accountable.

It would be too passive for the embassy to be caught in a dilemma by the Americans without knowing anything about the situation. It would be a completely different matter to know the situation in advance and respond calmly.

Ou Yang said: "I have an immature idea."

"You said."

"Anyway, we didn't put up any signs from the beginning. If the consulate sends another car and goes to the airport with great fanfare to ask the US military for our release, how will the Americans react?"

Lei Yong looked him up and down in surprise: "You kid, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve!"

Zhu Yiming couldn't help but interrupt: "No way, we're so far away and the phone can't get through, how can we contact each other?"

Ou Yang had no choice, otherwise he would have said it long ago.

Lei Yong gritted his teeth and said after a while, "I also have an immature idea!"

"What?" Ou Yang looked puzzled.

Lei Yong looked at the time and pretended to be mysterious: "You will know in a moment!"

He stood up and found a mirror, then took the two of them to another hiding place with a window. After making sure that the American troops had not followed them, he placed the compass on the windowsill and carefully determined the direction.

Ou Yang and Zhu Yiming were both curious and confused. What kind of performance art was this?
A few minutes later, Lei Yong suddenly picked up the mirror and leaned out of the window, shaking the mirror in the air in a special pattern.

Zhu Yiming was even more confused. This method was indeed not very mature!

Ou Yang suddenly realized that this was the window period for communication between the consulate and the mainland. They used mirrors to reflect the sunlight and send signals to the satellites in the sky!
Fortunately he could figure it out!

Ou Yang didn't know what expression to use to accurately express his feelings.

He suppressed the urge to complain and waited until Lei Yong took back the mirror before asking, "Is it useful?"

"I don't know." Lei Yong said, "Let's try it out."

There is definitely no problem with the satellite's observation accuracy, but the satellite must have anti-interference devices to filter signals, and the signals it sends may not be received by the satellite.

But apart from this, he really couldn't think of a better way.

Zhu Yiming couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, what's going on? Can you stop playing dumb?"

Ou Yang looked at Lei Yong, and his meaning was very simple: You decide!
The matter of laser communication was a secret, and he was not sure whether he could reveal it to Zhu Yiming.

Lei Yong gave Ou Yang a gratified look, the confidentiality education was very effective!

Several people continued to move and found a place to observe the distribution of American troops on the way. Lei Yong keenly discovered that the American soldiers were not searching carefully at all, and they were all absent-minded and slacking off.

The American soldiers were smart and knew it was an order to die, so no one was willing to put in such a desperate effort.

Invisible enemies are more dangerous than visible enemies!

After more than a month of blockade, American soldiers are most aware of the development of the epidemic and have long lost their original enthusiasm. They now just want to leave the epidemic area as soon as possible and return home safely.

The US troops stationed in Brown Bear City can be divided into two parts: one is the US troops stationed at the airport, and the other is the US troops stationed in other places.

The airport has better isolation and living conditions. Although it faces a large number of infected people every day, no American soldiers have been infected to date.

The situation was different for US troops stationed in other areas. There were no good sealing conditions there, and they were not very familiar with fungi in the early days of their deployment, so many people inhaled spores to varying degrees.

For example, if the mask is not sealed tightly, or if you feel like smoking, you may hide in a corner where you think there is no risk to smoke a cigarette, or even if you feel like you can't hold it in so long, you may lift the mask and take a few breaths of fresh air.

This is basically the case with the infected people in the US military.

After a while, the commander finally gave up and recalled the scattered personnel. The soldiers shook off their previous lethargy and happily got on the car to return to the airport.

Ou Yang and others also breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about where to find a car to get around.

But before he could take any action, Lei Yong discovered a drone in the air nearby.

He didn't know if it was released by the US military, but he didn't dare to take the risk. He could only continue to stay in the hiding place and wait for the opportunity.

At the same time, the consulate.

The communication window has not yet arrived, but Song Lei is already prepared to receive the message.

When the time came, in just a few seconds, the system had established a connection with the satellite, the progress bar quickly reached the bottom, and the information packet was received.

Song Lei opened it and stood up in shock. He quickly printed out the contents of the communication and rushed out of the communication room like a fly: "Lao Ma, Lao Ma, something happened!"

Ma Zhiyuan was still recovering from his injuries. Hearing this, he sat up, clutching his ribs and asking, "What's wrong?"

Song Lei handed the document over: "Look!"

There are several consecutive full-color satellite photos. The first one shows an off-road vehicle entering the airport, the second one shows the handover of personnel, and the third one shows an internal conflict within the US military.

Later on, the SUV crashed out of the terminal, was chased by a drone, and escaped from the pursuit.

Finally, there is the reflection of the mirror.

Ma Zhiyuan suddenly looked up: "Where did this come from?"

Song Lei: "You forgot, the higher-ups have been using satellites to monitor Brown Bear City and track the off-road vehicle."

"What does it mean?"

Song Lei handed over another document: "The higher-ups told us to prepare a car, show our identities clearly, drive to the airport and ask for someone, saying it was Lei Yong's order."

Ma Zhiyuan understood immediately: "That's great, Xiao Lei has made progress!"

Song Lei added, "Also, the higher-ups mean to pick people up first. Whether we go to the airport or not depends on the specific situation."

"I see. A sneak attack, right?" Ma Zhiyuan nodded, propping himself up with his arms and trying to stand. "Well, get me a car right away, and some anesthetics..."

Song Lei held him down and said, "You're injured and it's inconvenient for you. You stay here and I'll go!"

Ma Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Injury is not a problem. I am more familiar with the situation in the city than you are. I am the most suitable candidate."

"Old horse..."

"Don't argue. I can't handle your tricks. Are you planning to let that little girl guard the consulate for you?" Ma Zhiyuan said earnestly, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Song Lei knew Ma Zhiyuan was right, but he was still worried: "Bring two robot dogs!"

"Need not……"

"This is the bottom line. Either I go, or I bring the robot dog!" Song Lei insisted. "You're not very mobile right now, and you can barely drive. If you encounter an accident along the way, how will you fight back and protect yourself?"

Ma Zhiyuan sighed: "Okay, then do as you say!"

A few minutes later, a black car with a red flag on the front drove out of the consulate.
