Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 165 Baifeng Town

The sergeant personally verified the identities of the three people and immediately smiled in surprise: "Wow, I can't believe it. You must have gone back to Snow Bear, right?"

Ou Yang suppressed his turbulent thoughts and smiled back: "Yes!"

"Then you're really lucky." The sergeant returned the tablet to the soldier. "Come on, the Seven Days have reunited, you can go!"

After saying that, he waved towards the tunnel entrance and said, "Let them pass—"

The American soldiers in the distance waved to acknowledge their arrival. The sergeant patted the car door and said, "Keep going straight. There's someone on the other side of the tunnel to greet you... Hey, stop the car. Those behind you, get in line to register!"

In the rearview mirror, a wheel loader was parked at a safe distance, with another old rice hanging outside the cab. Behind it were pickup trucks, SUVs, family cars, light trucks and heavy trucks. There was an endless array of vehicles.

In front, the yellow and black vehicle barrier was raised, and the armored vehicle retreated, leaving a gap that was not very spacious.

The sergeant waved his hand to signal forward, Ou Yang lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road RV passed through the gap and entered the dark tunnel.

In the darkness, there seemed to be an invisible pressure coming from all directions, as if drilling into the throat of a prehistoric monster.

Turn on the headlights, the light circle illuminates the front, and the RV continues to move forward until it exits the tunnel.

My vision suddenly became clear.

After a while, a US military camp appeared on the side of the road.

As well as another checkpoint and a position with stronger firepower.

Ou Yang was a little worried, but the American soldiers guarding here were very friendly and told them that this was not the end. If they continued along the road, they would soon see their destination.

After a friendly wave of farewell, the RV continued on its way. Zhu Yiming muttered unhappily, "The end? I mean, we can't go any further!"

Ou Yang had calmed down and whispered, "If Lao Mi lets us out so easily, there must be something fishy going on."

"Lao Mi must have prepared a big surprise for us?" Zhu Yiming held the back of his head with his hands, looking like he saw through Lao Mi. "It's either a full-body checkup or centralized quarantine, and maybe even a biopsy!"

Ou Yang slammed the brakes and the RV stopped suddenly.

Zhu Yiming was caught off guard and almost bumped his head against the glass: "Oh my god, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuwei also cast a dissatisfied look over.

Ou Yang's eyes were serious: "Are we three the first to be immune?" He had been a guinea pig and had experienced the pain of being studied on this issue.

Zhu Yiming sighed: "Don't worry, I just said it casually."

Ou Yang and Jiang Yuwei looked at him in confusion.

Zhu Yiming explained: "I heard someone mention at the airport that Trump needs white or black people who are immune. We yellow people can only serve as a control group at best."

Ou Yang was confused: "What do you mean, race still has an impact?"

"I don't know either." Zhu Yiming shook his head. "I just heard something without any context."

Ou and Jiang both had the same question: Is it that different races have different chances of infection?
A pickup truck caught up from behind, overtook the RV and drove away.

Ou Yang started the RV: "We can't go back anymore, let's go."

Zhu Yiming continued to hold his head: "If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided!"

After thinking for a while, he said: "When a car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way; when a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight!"

Ou Yang rolled his eyes: "Stop being so funny!"

Continuing forward, a section of railway appeared on the side of the road. After running parallel to the highway for a distance, a small town appeared in front.

The open space outside the town was filled with military vehicles, and American soldiers were coming and going in groups of three or four.

The highway passes through the town, and the exit on the other side of the town is blocked tightly by the military. There is a billboard on the roadside leading into the town, which notifies all residents that they must evacuate the town before August 8.

Ou Yang recalled carefully that this was probably not long after he arrived at the consulate.

At that time, the US military had blocked Brown Bear, and other areas were still unclear about what was happening... No, they must have discovered signs of the spread of the epidemic, so they evacuated the people at this time.

He couldn't help but fall into memories: "I wonder how Brother Lei and the others are doing now."

Jiang Yuwei comforted her softly, "Good things will happen to you, so don't worry."

She herself didn't believe this, but what else could she say?
Ou Yang drove the car into the town and, under the guidance of the soldiers, parked the car in an open space next to the railway. There was a pile of railroad tracks that had been removed from somewhere at the edge of the open space.

No need to ask, this is the new camp.

The American soldier leading the way did not leave, but knocked on the car door: "Clark?"

"I am!" said Ou Yang.

"Please follow me." The soldier made a gesture of invitation. "Our leader wants to see you!"

Ou Yang jumped out of the car and asked warily, "Who is your leader?"

"Follow me and you'll find out," said the soldier.

Zhu Yiming took a few quick steps and approached Ou Yang: "Is there anything wrong?"

At the same time, Jiang Yuwei also handed the tactical Glock to him.

Ou Yang was speechless. With so many fully armed American soldiers, what kind of waves could they make with just a few guns in their hands?
But he still took the tactical Glock and responded with a reassuring smile: "If they want to take our guns, we will fight to the death!"

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, both sides will be destroyed.

Zhu Yiming nodded, with a heavy look in his eyes.

Jiang Yuwei bit her lip and wanted to go back to the car to move the PKM.

The three men followed the soldier into the middle town and came to a town hall building with a flag hanging on it. They led everyone into an office and said, "Major, they're here!"

In the office, a major officer was writing something. He looked up when he heard the words and said, "Please come in. Everyone, please take a seat. I'll be right there."

He was probably in his thirties, with an impressive flaxen hair and a very distinctive curved hooked nose, which made people want to punch him.

Zhu Yiming gave Ou Yang a look, which meant to confiscate the gun.

Ou Yang also returned a look, meaning to act according to the circumstances.

No one knows whether the other party understands it or not, but that’s what they think in their hearts.

The major signed his name on the document and handed it to the orderly. Then he stood up and sat down opposite the three people. "Hello everyone, you can call me Jedi."

"Hello, Major Jedi," Ou Yang responded politely. "May I ask why you've called us here..."

"Oh, that's it." The major crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, "I heard that you are from Camp No. 1... I mean, the camping area on the west side of the bridge." "That's right." Ou Yang nodded.

"Excellent." The major smiled. "From what I've heard, Camp One suffered heavy casualties, so I'd like to know...how you managed to survive."

Ou Yang felt a sudden chill and smiled calmly, "We were lucky. We had an argument with the others that day, so we left the camp early and avoided the flood... I don't understand. What's so good about asking?"

"Is that so?" The major put away his smile, grabbed a few photos from his desk and threw them in front of the three men. "Then how do you explain this?"

The three of them looked down and their hearts tightened immediately.

It was a photo of the bridge taken from an aerial perspective. It was surrounded by floods and there were only two cars, one large and one small, on the bridge.

Jiang Yuwei's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Ou Yang. Zhu Yiming's fingers twitched, as if he were about to draw his gun. Ou Yang quietly tensed his muscles, ready to subdue Jedi. "Oh, we've indeed been stuck on the bridge these past few days."

The major had no weapons in his hands. Either he was testing us on purpose, or there had been an ambush. We couldn't take any risks unless it was absolutely necessary!
The major frowned: "Didn't you leave early?"

Ou Yang pushed the photo back in front of the major and leaned forward slightly. "Yes, but I'm talking about leaving the camp early. I was planning to go back to Snow Bear, but the road was blocked by floods and I ended up trapped on the bridge."

He looked the major in the eye seriously. "It's that simple."

The major pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I accept your explanation. Then please tell me where the people on the luxury bus went... Don't say you don't know!"

Ou Yang spread his hands and said, "Dead."

The major pressed on: "How did he die?"

Ou Yang rubbed his thighs helplessly: "I'm not very clear either. It rained too heavily that night..." He recounted the situation in general, which was basically the actual situation. He only concealed the fact that the young man was shot and killed in the end, and said that he didn't know who fired the shot.

He didn't even mention the subsequent looting of the luxury RV, and was determined to wait for the other party to speak.

At best, just hand over those bonds and that's it.

The major thought for a moment, then stood up, holding his knees. "Okay, I understand the situation now. Thank you for your cooperation."

Ou Yang was very surprised: Is that the end?
He stood up with a confused look on his face. "Could you please tell me, are the identities of those two people very special?"

The major thought for a moment and said, "A councilman from Snow Bear City asked us to help find his missing brother and nephew."

Zhu Yiming's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, isn't this some fucking trouble?

Jiang Yuwei took the initiative to hold Ou Yang's arm, then lowered her head to help Ou Yang pull the hem of his clothes, taking the opportunity to hide her expression.

Ou Yang looked as if he had suddenly understood something. "So that's how it is. What a pity."

His expression was very natural, and he looked into the major's eyes without flinching.

The major looked at him for a few seconds and smiled kindly, "Yes, it's indeed a pity... Welcome to Xuefeng Town. I hope you enjoy your stay here."

Ou Yang said a few polite words, said goodbye to the major and left the town office.

After some distance, Ou Yang finally let go of his worries: "Damn, I was scared to death!"

Zhu Yiming said dissatisfiedly: "Come on, I don't see that you are scared at all. I am the one who is almost scared to death."

Ou Yang shook his arm, which was still held by Jiang Yuwei. "Dealing with that major was easy enough. The problem was that she did it so suddenly. I was completely unprepared and almost got caught!"

Jiang Yuwei hadn't let go of his arm even after putting on a full show. Upon hearing that, her face immediately flushed: "You're such a useless newbie!"

"Oh! Are you kidding?" Zhu Yiming looked at Ou Yang as if he had discovered a new world, and he looked at him as if he had seen a giant panda.

"What's wrong with Chu Ge? Did Chu Ge eat your rice? I'm just keeping myself clean!" Ou Yang's face flushed red as he angrily accused, "You're covered in dirt and yet you laugh at others who are clean? Do you know what shame is?"

Jiang Yuwei also stared at Zhu Yiming with a look that seemed to want to avoid him.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay?" Zhu Yiming quickly changed the subject. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Well, I think Jedi's explanation is too exaggerated. It's definitely not the truth. What do you think?"

Ou Yang still looked at him with an unusual look in his eyes: "You're trying to save face, right?"

"Are you done yet?" Zhu Yiming blew his beard and glared, "It's just a joke, that's enough!"

Ou Yang gave Zhu Yiming a look that said, "You're smart!" He took a few steps and said, "What does it matter whether it's true or not? Didn't you notice that the major didn't even want to pursue the matter?"

Eh?
Zhu and Jiang were both a little stunned.

"Need I explain how treacherous the US military is?" Ou Yang continued. "Although this isn't an epidemic area, it's on the edge. If he's determined to investigate, he can't let it go so easily."

Zhu Yiming said seriously, "Not necessarily. There are only three of us outsiders here right now. If we're missing, it would be too conspicuous. Maybe he plans to wait until there are more people before taking action."

Ou Yang nodded, feeling that this possibility could not be ruled out: "That's right, we must be careful... eh?"

He suddenly noticed that the empty lot where only off-road RVs had been parked not long ago now had more than a dozen cars parked there, with several more cars driven out of the town.

Some ordinary Americans also appeared on the streets that were originally only occupied by American soldiers.

The three people looked at each other. Isn't this too fast?
At this time, an old American man in his sixties happened to be walking towards them. He had a bright smile and would wave and say hello to everyone he met, whether they were American soldiers or ordinary people. He was extremely enthusiastic.

Everyone else also had a smile on their face that came from the heart.

In comparison, Ou Yang and others seemed a bit out of place.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. The ordinary people who appeared in Baifeng Town at this time were all immune people who escaped from snow bears, brown bears or any other bears.

Leaving the epidemic area means staying away from infected people who may break out at any time and away from various unpredictable dangers. The depressed mood is released. What's so strange about smiling?
Ou Yang was just telling Zhu and Jiang about his analysis when a white-skinned girl in her early twenties jumped out of a car that had just entered the town.

Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground and started crying, which made anyone who heard it sad and cried.

A kind-hearted old man came over to persuade her, and the girl sobbed and told her story - her father, mother, brother and sister were all gone, and she was the only one who escaped from the whole family.

They encountered all kinds of hardships and sufferings along the way, and escaped from the epidemic area after several near-death experiences.

When the survivors around heard this, they all recalled their own experiences and felt the same way.

We all came from the epidemic area. Each of us had to break through the siege of the infected, and even kill our infected relatives with our own hands, to have the opportunity to stand here.

Many people still have scars from being bitten by infected people.

Considering the hardships along the way, how could anyone still laugh?

A woman hugged the crying girl and comforted her softly: "It's over, it's all over, you are safe now!"

But is it really over? Is it really safe?

Ou Yang remained silent.
