"Okay, that's it for now." Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Tang Ran stood up.
"Yeah." Long Qingsi smiled and looked at Tang Ran, hesitant to speak.
"Oops, I'm starving to death. I'll go to the kitchen first to look for food, and you two can chat." Kang Chengyou keenly sensed Long Qingsi's emotions and pressed the call button on the wheelchair with difficulty with his little finger that was still movable.
The room returned to calm, and Tang Ran didn't speak anymore, waiting for Long Qingsi to speak.
"The base commander wants to see you." After a long silence, Long Qingsi took a deep breath and said, "This is my most important mission here."
"Want to see me? Why?" In fact, Tang Ran could probably guess what Dragon City Base meant, but she didn't really want to contact the government now, especially after encountering such a change.
The situation in Tianfu Base has roughly stabilized. His family can have a more stable life, and his parents' health makes Tang Ran no longer want to travel further.
"You can guess it, can't you?" Long Qingsi smiled bitterly, "We accept your love. We don't want to disturb your life, but we really have no choice."
Long Qingsi said, got up and walked to the window. The dark world was flickering with dim yellow lights, which made people feel more at ease. "There should be many ways to eliminate infected people, but the central government has been slow to do so until now." There’s no movement, aren’t you curious?”
Hearing Long Qingsi's words, Tang Ran looked strange. She really hadn't figured this out. Including the six years in her previous life, she had never seen the government actually take action, and the most powerful weapons were only firearms.
"Is there something wrong with the weapon?" Tang Ran frowned. Apart from this, she couldn't think of any reason why there was no trace of weapons of mass destruction at this time.
"At the beginning of the end of the world, we didn't think about using weapons of mass destruction because we were afraid of accidentally injuring other survivors. But when we gathered all the survivors, we found that except for the firearms, everything else was malfunctioning." Long Qingsi looked heavy. , "Affected by the unknown magnetic field, current communications are greatly restricted, and most means of transportation such as airplanes and cars cannot be used."
"Communication? I thought the signal base station was destroyed."
As Tang Ran said that, he suddenly remembered the helicopter that crashed in City C. He thought it was attacked by Xiaojun, but now he thought about it, no matter how powerful Xiaojun was, he couldn't fly, so how could he bring down the plane in the sky.
At that time, it must have been affected by the so-called magnetic field.
"Then how did you get in touch? That little black box?"
"Little black box?" Long Qingsi was confused for a moment, and then showed a look of realization. He took out a black, palm-sized machine from his arms, with a small display screen and two buttons on it.
"That's it. It's Dr. Lin's invention. I don't know how it works, but the energy source is the crystal in the infected person's body."
Long Qingsi smiled, handed the instrument to Tang Ran, coughed twice, "Dr. Lin calls it PHS."
"PHS." There were a few black lines across Tang Ran's forehead. It was really a popular name, "Is Dr. Lin Lin Ming?"
"Yes, Dr. Lin Ming is a person with brain-enhancing powers. In addition to PHS, he also has many inventions. But since you know Dr. Lin Ming, you don't know PHS. It's really surprising."
What can Tang Ran say? At this time in her last life, she was still struggling to survive in the hands of the infected. By the time she arrived in the north, the communication equipment was already very complete, similar to a wrist watch, and had more functions.
However, seeing that Long Qingsi wasn't surprised at all when she called out Lin Ming's name, Tang Ran was a little surprised.
It seems that Long Qingsi knows a lot. If the surname is Long, it cannot be that person's family, but why has she never heard of it in the previous life? A-level ice power users should not be unknown.
Just as he was thinking about it, the PHS phone in his hand suddenly vibrated and then made two beeping sounds.
Long Qingsi stretched out his head and glanced twice, opened his mouth and glanced at Tang Ran's face, but said nothing for a while.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ran couldn't see this hesitant look, but felt a little restless in his heart.
"Just now, the people from the law enforcement team went to deliver food to Wang Hao as usual. When they found him, he was already out of breath." Long Qingsi felt a little uneasy as he watched Tang Ran's face gradually cool down.
Grandpa said that Tang Ran must be invited back to Dragon City Base. Looking at her like this, she is really under a lot of pressure! Forget it, the worst thing is to leave a little more time, the task must be completed.
Shaking his head to get rid of the bad thoughts in his head, he saw that Tang Ran had already walked to the door and was about to open it. Long Qingsi quickly chased after him, "Hey, are you going to see Wang Hao?"
"Um."
"Then what I just said, let's go to the Dragon City base together."
"Not going."
"But there are still some situations in the base, really..."
"This has nothing to do with me."
Long Qingsi was speechless for a moment. Seeing Tang Ran's dull eyes, he stopped talking and just stared at the retreating figure. He was in a bad mood. Some things should wait until later.
Why is the pressure suddenly so high again? Long Qingsi felt like crying but had no tears.
Thinking of her grandfather's gentle and tired eyes, Long Qingsi scratched his hair irritably and shouted to Tang Ran in front: "I'll go with you, wait for me."
…
It was a grand funeral.
Tang Ran stood in the front row holding a torch, behind him were the official personnel of Tianfu Base and the people who spontaneously came to see him off.
Looking at the rows of corpses in front of him, Tang Ran realized that the price of victory was so heavy.
In the final analysis, I am too weak, Tang Ran murmured in his heart. The expression of grief that was revealed unknowingly was caught by Long Qingsi.
So would an indifferent person show such a heavy expression? Long Qingsi looked at Tang Ran's face in a daze, why?
Gunshots fired in salute, and the faces of Wang Hao and Jiang Chen flickered in the reflection of the fire.
Looking at the scarf that was gradually burned to ashes and the two people's hands together, Tang Ran felt that something in his heart was also burned away.
"What a short-lived bitch. Even if you die, you can still prevent me from sleeping at night." A small voice came from his ears. Tang Ran stopped and turned his head to look at the man quietly.
Feeling a chill running through his body, Chen Man couldn't help but shudder, frowning and looking around.
Seeing Chen Man standing still, Shi Cang patted Chen Man's shoulder with a smile, followed his gaze, and happened to see Tang Ran standing at the junction of light and darkness, with those bright and cold eyes looking at him indifferently.
Shi Cang panicked for a moment, and then thought of his son who was in the law enforcement team, with a provocative sneer on his face, "Who says it's not the case? They are just a group of dogs. If they die and their owners can't rest, they are also dead." Too cheap.”
Some people around him couldn't help but look indignant when they heard this, but when they saw that it was Shi Cang who said it, they stopped and swallowed all the words in their mouths.
"Really?" Tang Ran's voice was very soft, but in Shi Cang and Chen Man's ears it was like a devil's whisper, making people shudder.
"What, is it possible that you still want to attack me in front of so many people?" Shi Cang pushed out his belly, trying to look more imposing, "Captain Long and my son are right over there. , do you think I will be afraid of you?"
When Chen Man saw Shi Cang's posture, he immediately patted his chest and stood in front of Shi Cang, looking at Tang Ran with a sarcastic expression.
