Two thousand and thirteen

The base vehicle approached a dense forest ahead and stopped in an open space.

Wu Shuangshuang sat in the driver's seat, seemingly thinking about something.

Sheng Miao and Lu Yunting sat in the back seat, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Wu Shuangshuang: "Are you going to keep silent?"

Lu Yunting frowned slightly and looked at Sheng Miao.

Wu Shuangshuang turned around and said to Sheng Miao: "These days, we don't think we have discriminated against or abused you at all. Lai Jie is a nice person and easy to get along with. I can't figure out why you would do this?"

Sheng Miao did not dare to look at Wu Shuangshuang, and remained silent.

Wu Shuangshuang: "Lai Jie's whereabouts are unknown now, and I need your help. If you still have a little conscience, you shouldn't do this. You want to be a soldier, and you want your parents and younger brother to live a good life, but what you are doing now What you do will only make them ashamed of you, let alone being a soldier!"

Sheng Miao trembled a little, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry Brother Xiaojie, just kill me..."

"Coward!" Wu Shuangshuang stood up and said angrily, "Shengmiao, you are still a man! I feel ashamed of you for wanting to die when something happens! What did they threaten you with, your parents?"

Sheng Miao finally looked up at Wu Shuangshuang, and said with some difficulty: "I can't harm them..."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Your parents have been arrested. Your first thought should be to save them, not to become a tool for those people to kill them. Otherwise, even if your parents are rescued in the end, they will not be grateful to you, because You are an accomplice."

"How do you ask me to save them?" Sheng Miao excitedly said, "I don't know anything about them, their lairs, their numbers, I don't know anything, do I dare to act rashly? Those are not your parents, of course you won't worry their lives!"

Wu Shuangshuang: "You are not alone, why didn't you tell us? It seems that you have always regarded us as outsiders."

Sheng Miao: "I..."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Lai Jie once said that joining the Hurricanes means joining our small family. Every member of the Hurricanes is a part of this family. No matter who has troubles and troubles, everyone will do their best to help Him, because we are one."

Sheng Miao was silent, kneaded her brows, and wiped her face.

Wu Shuangshuang: "Your business is our business, how can we ignore it?"

Shengmiao: "I'm sorry, Sister Shuangshuang, I'm sorry..."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Don't say sorry to me, if you really feel guilty, tell me everything you know, and we will find Lai Jie as soon as possible."

Lai Jie followed the sound of water all the way to the upper reaches of the creek, hidden in the bushes and scanned slightly, and then noticed the abnormality.

Jungle field battles are no problem for Lai Jie. K3 has a lot of training in this area. Yesterday Ou Zeyang was by his side, so he was afraid of accidentally injuring him.

Lai Jie looked at the position, rolled over and left the forest.Seeing this, several people in ambush fired anesthetized HX drunk HX guns one after another.

Lai Jie flipped several times, dodged those shots, and quickly determined the positions of several people based on the shooting angles of the shots.After the tumbling was over, Lai Jie quickly raised his gun and fired continuously, his movements were smooth and done in one go.The first shot was fired, and a person fell from a tree not far away.The second shot was fired, and a person fell behind the rock.The third shot fired, and another hit!The last person was so frightened that he turned and fled. Lai Jie pulled out the dagger in his boot and flew out with a knife, hitting that person's ass!

"Ah!" The man screamed and fell to the ground, gasping for breath in pain.

Lai Jie ran forward and pulled out the dagger expressionlessly. The man screamed again and was stepped on by Lai Jie.

Lai Jie: "Say, where is your boss, where is the vaccine?"

"I...I don't know..."

"Don't tell?" Lai Jie raised his eyebrows, playing with the dagger in his hand and said, "Believe it or not, I'll stick your ass into a hornet's nest?"

"No, don't... I really don't know, I won't lie to you..."

Just as Lai Jie was about to speak, suddenly there was a rustling sound in the forest, and he asked alertly, "Who is it?!"

With a gunshot, Lai Jie dodged behind a tree, but found that the target was not him, and the man on the ground was shot in the head.

Lai Jie chased him out and swept towards the forest, but the shooter had disappeared without a trace, so he had to give up.He put the drugs scattered on the ground into a bag, searched several people, found several packs of cigarettes and pistols, and unloaded their water bottles.I came to the creek and filled the water. I poured a bottle first, washed my head and face with water, and finally filled the three water bottles, threw them into my backpack and packed them.

Outside the woods, Li Yan also got into the car.Sheng Miao took out two photos and handed them to Wu Shuangshuang.

In the photo are Shengmiao's parents and two younger brothers.In the first photo, a zombie was tied to a tree behind several people. It was obviously a photo taken after the zombie wave broke out.The second one is in a cave with a fire burning next to it, the environment is very poor.

Sheng Miao: "This is the photo they gave me. After the zombie wave broke out, I haven't been in touch with our parents. It seems that they caught me."

Wu Shuangshuang: "When did they find you?"

Sheng Miao: "That's right, the night I met Captain Wang Yang."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Have you not had any contact before?"

Sheng Miao: "How is it possible? I hate drug lords the most in my life. If you want me to meet them, I will kill them one at a time!"

Wu Shuangshuang: "They said your parents and younger brother are in their hands, then?"

Sheng Miao: "In fact, those car marks and the ropes in front of the broken wall were specially designed by them. They asked me to tamper with the ropes, whether it was Wang Yang or Lai Jie, I had to keep one."

Wu Shuangshuang: "What else did you say?"

Shengmiao: "I didn't say anything else. They were very afraid of exposing themselves. When they saw me, they always covered their faces. They didn't let me know if there were too many of them. They just said that as long as they caught one of them, they would let our parents and younger brother go." .”

Wu Shuangshuang studied the photos carefully, and said to herself: "Then we can only find clues from the photos..."

Li Yan and Lu Yunting also leaned over to study.

Li Yan suddenly said: "Look at the cave in the second picture, what's on the ground?"

Lu Yunting: "It is the deposition of calcium carbonate, and the stalactites have not yet been fully formed."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Near the cave?"

Lu Yunting: "The laboratory area is full of caves, so it shouldn't be too far away."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Then the first one, the plants on it... Maybe Heyu should be more clear."

Li Yan: "But have they moved now?"

Sheng Miao: "It shouldn't be so fast. If they haven't caught Brother Xiaojie, they won't leave for a while."

Wu Shuangshuang was about to say something when a gunshot sounded in the distance.

Li Yan excitedly said: "Where is the boss?"

Wu Shuangshuang: "Li Yan, you and Sheng Miao are guarding in the car, Lu Yunting will follow me!"

The two took their guns and ran towards the woods following the sound of the gunshots.

Unexpectedly, after a few gunshots, there was no movement.Wu Shuangshuang and Lu Yunting searched the forest for a long time, and finally found four corpses by the stream.

Wu Shuangshuang and Lu Yunting searched several people, but found nothing.

Wu Shuangshuang: "It should be Lai Xiaojie, it seems that he is fine."

Lu Yunting was a little strange: "Are you so sure?"

"The canteens and guns were taken away from them." Wu Shuangshuang picked up the empty cigarette case on the ground and shook it. "There are still cigarettes. These are the things Lai Xiaojie needs."

Lu Yunting: "Then he should be nearby. Want to find him?"

Wu Shuangshuang: "I don't want to look for it anymore. I'm not sure if there are other enemies nearby. It's very easy to expose ourselves when we look for someone, which is not good. Go to the cave first, and catch the drug lords is the top priority. These people are not Lai Xiaojie's opponents." , don’t worry about him for now.”

Lai Jie returned the same way and climbed onto the branch of the banyan tree.

Ou Zeyang blushed and curled up into a ball.

Lai Jie helped him up, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, moved to Ou Zeyang's mouth and said, "Come on, young man, drink some water."

Ou Zeyang closed his eyes, opened his mouth and took a few sips, the coolness penetrated his heart, and he seemed to feel better.He opened his eyes and took a few more sips from the water bottle.

Ou Zeyang's voice was a little hoarse, "I have a fever?"

Reiji: "Yes."

Ou Zeyang: "Brother Jie..."

Reiji: "What?"

Ou Zeyang: "My stomach hurts..."

Lai Jie: "Come on, let me rub it for you." The big rough hand went up to rub it without any explanation.

"Hmm..." Ou Zeyang hurriedly dodged, "Don't, don't rub, rub it again and pull it out!"

Lai Jie: "..."

Ou Zeyang said embarrassingly, "I can't climb down because my hands and feet are weak, I need to poop..."

Lai Jie laughed out loud, and asked Ou Zeyang to lie on his back and carry him down.

Half an hour later, Ou Zeyang's face was pale, and he squatted on the ground and hummed.

Reiji: "What's wrong?"

Ou Zeyang: "It hurts..."

Lai Jie pulled a leaf and handed it to Ou Zeyang: "Forget it if you can't pull it out, come on, I'll carry you."

Ou Zeyang finished the solution with a blushing face, and as soon as he got up, he began to retch again.

Lai Jie patted Ou Zeyang on the back, waited for him to recover, gave him some water, then carried Ou Zeyang on his back and walked forward.

Ou Zeyang: "Where are you going..."

Lai Jie: "Go to Heyu's place. Anyway, Wang Yang and the others are also going to search and rescue. I think we can meet them."

Ou Zeyang stopped talking, lay on Lai Jie's back, and groaned uncomfortably from time to time.

Lai Jie frowned, seemed to be thinking about something, and quickly shuttled through the forest with Ou Zeyang on his back.It had been almost a day since he had eaten anything, and while he was on his way, Lai Jie paid attention to the movement in the forest, and shot down two wild birds in the forest with an anesthesia HX drunken HX gun.

As the sun went down, Ou Zeyang began to sweat profusely, and his clothes were soaked.Lai Jie touched it, his body temperature also dropped, and he was relieved immediately.

Lai Jie found a small cave, built a fire to roast wild birds, and Ou Zeyang woke up after dark.

Reiji: "How's it going?"

"It's much better." Ou Zeyang sat up, and his whole body was indeed much more refreshed. "I've never had such a severe fever before. I didn't expect it to come and go quickly."

Lai Jie frowned and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ou Zeyang: "I guess...but I don't want to eat."

Lai Jie: "It's okay if you don't eat it. Here, there is one for each person. There are too many. The wild birds look big, and they are as thin as a pole after plucking their feathers..."

Ou Zeyang glanced at the charred wild bird, and said with disgust, "Why is it so black?"

Lai Jie: "It's good if it's cooked, let's make do with it."

Ou Zeyang took it and took a bite, frowning: "It's so unpalatable..."

Lai Jie tore a piece of meat and chewed it, and said: "It's good to eat some... Hey, swallow it, don't spit it! Don't you know how hard it took me to catch these two birds!"

Ou Zeyang swallowed with difficulty, and said disdainfully: "Aren't you a special soldier, you can't even hit a bird."

Lai Jie: "..."

Ou Zeyang swallowed the bird meat with water, and sat in front of the fire to warm himself.

Lai Jie: "Cold?"

Ou Zeyang nodded.After the fall, there were autumn rains and then cold. Although the sky cleared up, the cold wind in the mountains at night was still quite cold. Ou Zeyang had just recovered from his illness, and he was huddled up in the cold without wearing thick clothes.

Lai Jie took a sip of water, poked the fire with a branch, sat next to Ou Zeyang and hugged him.

Lai Jie took out his backpack, took out the cigarettes he seized today, lit one in his mouth.Ou Zeyang reached for it, but Lai Jie opened it.

Lai Jie: "You just recovered from illness, so you can't smoke."

Ou Zeyang stopped talking and watched Lai Jie puffing.A few days ago, I ran out of cigarette reserves, but it made Lai Jie uncomfortable for a few days. After taking a few puffs, I suddenly felt refreshed.

Ou Zeyang: "Brother Xiaojie, do you have any family members? Why have you never heard of it?"

Lai Jie thought for a while and said, "My father passed away very early. My mother liked to drink and beat me when she was drunk. Then she ran away when she couldn't take it anymore, and then enlisted in the army..."

Ou Zeyang: "Why hit you, shouldn't mother love her son?"

"I don't know, maybe she doesn't like me." Lai Jie paused, and then said, "Maybe I look like my dad, but she always said my dad was irresponsible, and left her alone..."

Ou Zeyang sighed: "My parents divorced very early, and my mother married abroad. Later, my father gambled all day and was beaten up by my brother, and then my brother took me out to live alone."

Lai Jie: "Your mother didn't come back to look for you later?"

Ou Zeyang shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her again, maybe she doesn't like me either..."

"Don't think too much, maybe she's looking for you too." Lai Jie put out the cigarette butt on the ground, and patted Ou Zeyang's head, "Go to bed early, and continue on our way tomorrow."

Ou Zeyang leaned on Lai Jie's shoulder and closed his eyes, feeling like an idiot.Originally, I wanted to say a lot, and I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but when I saw Lai Jie, I couldn't say anything, and my heart was still pounding.He really wanted to be clear and take the initiative, but he was worried about gain and loss like a mental patient, and he was afraid that he would make Lai Jie hate him if he went too far.

The broken family environment made him very insecure, although after his first love was broken, he clubbed and fought with those bad friends all day long, and armed himself very strong.But only he himself knew that the hypocritical appearance was too fragile.

He has been speculating on Lai Jie's mind in such a state of anxiety, and will be happy all day because of Lai Jie's ambiguous behavior towards him, but in a blink of an eye, maybe he just thinks too much.After all, when he confessed, Lai Jie didn't respond.Maybe he has always only regarded himself as a younger brother. If he is a straight man, it will be impossible for his whole life... In the future, he may get married and have children, and it will be difficult to meet each other at that time...

Ou Zeyang suddenly felt deep inferiority complex and despair.

A hand touched his forehead, Ou Zeyang felt a burst of warmth, his slightly trembling heart calmed down, his tired body couldn't stand the impact of sleepiness, and fell into a deep sleep.

However, at dawn the next day, Ou Zeyang had a fever again.

Lai Jie looked solemn, knowing that he had been expected.It's not as simple as a common cold and fever, it's malaria!

In the field practice class, the instructor mentioned malaria. After getting sick, the body becomes cold and hot, and finally sweats to cool down. After a period of time, it will become hot again, and so on.Some forms of malaria may resolve on their own, but falciparum malaria is often fatal.

But now in the barren mountains and mountains, there is no medical treatment, and even food cannot be guaranteed, so I can only go to Heyu's village as soon as possible to see if they have any herbal medicine for malaria.

Lai Jie didn't wake up Ou Zeyang, packed up his things, carried him on his back and continued on his way.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and the fine morning light sprinkles from the trees, like the gorgeous lights on the stage.

Lai Jie identified the direction with the compass and walked towards the route in memory.

In the depths of the woods, the road is quite difficult to walk. The dense branches and leaves are scattered in disorder, many of which have thorns.Rai Jie wore tattered mitts and opened the way with a dagger in his hand.

At noon, Ou Zeyang woke up once in a daze, complaining that he was thirsty.

Rai Jie took the water bottle and gave him some water to drink, and sat by the rock to rest for a while.

Ou Zeyang leaned softly in Lai Jie's arms, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Jie, I feel so uncomfortable..."

Lai Jie patted Ou Zeyang's head, and comforted him: "It's okay, you sleep for a while, and when you get to Heyu's village, I'll find medicine for you."

Ou Zeyang: "I got better yesterday, why did I have a fever again..."

Lai Jie: "Who knows, maybe I caught cold again at night."

Ou Zeyang nodded, and felt drowsy and sleepy again, Lai Jie carried him on his back and continued walking.

In the afternoon, Lai Jie's stomach was growling with hunger, and he was sweating and panting.

Today, for some reason, I didn’t see many wild birds and beasts. I finally saw them, but I missed them. I don’t know if I was too hungry or the birds and beasts in the forest were too cunning.

Lai Jie smoked a cigarette to refresh himself, slightly better.

"Brother Jie?" Ou Zeyang's voice sounded from behind.

Reiji: "What?"

Ou Zeyang: "Take a break, I see you've been carrying me around all day."

Lai Jie: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Have some water?"

Lai Jie put Ou Zeyang down and fed him water.

After Ou Zeyang finished drinking, Lai Jie shook the bottle and put it back.

Ou Zeyang: "Why don't you drink?"

Lai Jie: "I just drank it."

Ou Zeyang: "You lied, your lips are so dry and chapped."

Lai Jie licked his lips and said, "I'll drink it later, there isn't much water left."

Ou Zeyang: "How long is it?"

Lai Jie: "Hurry up, you should be there tomorrow."

Ou Zeyang looked at it and asked, "There is still one more bottle of water, why is it not enough? Brother Jie, you will lie to me."

Lai Jie smiled helplessly, and said: "I don't know how many days it will take, the road in the jungle is too difficult, to be honest, I don't know what to do, I don't know when I can go out, so I should save some water , wait until we find the next water source.”

"Come on, keep going." Lai Jie got up and pulled Ou Zeyang, "I need to find a place to rest before dark, and find a way to get something to eat."

Lai Jie walked for a while with Ou Zeyang on his back, and finally found a fruit tree with strangely shaped fruits hanging from it.Some overcooked ones fell on the ground and seemed to be eaten by birds. Lai Jie picked them up, smelled them, studied them carefully, and said happily, "It's edible."

Lai Jie put Ou Zeyang down, climbed to the tree and picked a lot of fruits, and devoured some while picking them.

Lai Jie picked and handed a few overripe fruits to Ou Zeyang.

Although Ou Zeyang had no appetite, he also knew that he had to eat. He took some fruit and ate a few. It was very astringent and had a strange taste, so he had to swallow it.

When he was full, Lai Jie put some fruit in his bag and led Ou Zeyang to a dry rock.

Lai Jie: "I can't find the cave. Let's make do with it for the night. Come and sleep on your pillow."

Ou Zeyang was in a daze with a fever, and fell asleep again with his pillow on Lai Jie's arm.
