With a responsible attitude, Xu Renjie did not easily judge the "destruction" of the second team because of Sangbiao's few unilateral remarks.
After all, as a soldier, he was told from the first day he put on the military uniform that he must never abandon his comrades, brothers, on the battlefield.
Therefore, if you are alive, you want to see people, and if you are dead, you want to see corpses. Xu Renjie's task for Luo Yi was very simple. He must confirm whether Sang Biao's statement was true. If there were any signs of survivors, he must track them down no matter what and bring them back.
After receiving the military orders, Luo Yi immediately summoned Sang Biao. Under the leadership of the latter, the rescue confirmation team began a week-long search operation.
They followed the action route of the second team and carefully explored every possible hiding place. However, the result was very regrettable. Wherever they looked, except for the walking corpses that had been transformed for a long time, they did not find anything with any characteristics. Angry creature.
Of course, the search operation was not without success. At least at the scene of the second team’s car accident, Luo Yi confirmed the following things:
First, the car accident itself did exist. The car hit the lighting fixture on the roadside.
Second, there was a broken skeleton sitting on the driver's seat. Although it was not clear in the fire, it still vaguely retained some appearance.
Third, there were some mottled blood stains around the incident site, and several joint-like objects were scattered a hundred meters away from the burned vehicle. Although the identities of their owners cannot be confirmed through these bones, it is undeniable that they are indeed derived from the killed members of the second team.
A week later, Luo Yi recorded everything he saw, heard and felt.
When Xu Renjie saw the search report, his already haggard face looked even more tired.
There was no doubt that he had to make a decision.
Because Luo Yi's report has been written in very detail, what happened to the second team is a matter of certainty. Although it is not yet certain whether all the second team were killed, judging from the current situation, even if there are survivors, It's not easy to find them either.
After all, the city is so big. If you search blindly without any clues to support it, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Regardless of whether they can be found, Xu Renjie doesn't want to see the additional personnel losses that may occur.
In addition, fuel is also a practical issue that must be considered. You must know that the base has consumed a lot of precious fuel for a "week-long unsuccessful search." If this fruitless search continues, I am afraid that the base will not even Material supplies will become a problem.
It seems that "everyone" and "little family" can only save one end. This is undoubtedly a painful choice for Xu Renjie, who has a military background.
Although he had fulfilled his due responsibilities, he was the one who sent out the second team after all, and failed to bring them back. Xu Renjie felt it was something he couldn't forgive in his heart.
But reality and reason are never easy to balance. In many things, you may know that you should do it, but the constraints of reality still force you to make compromises.
So after thinking for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Xu Renjie finally wrote a line of large characters at the end of the report submitted by Luo Yi: "All members of the second team were killed"!
Closing the manuscript indifferently, Xu Renjie let out a long sigh of relief. Two months of staying up all night had already tortured this tough man to the point where he no longer looked like a human being.
However, soldiers are strong after all, and Xu Renjie did not sink because of this.
As the saying goes, the battle does not stop, but life does not stop. More than 200 people in the base still pointed at him to live, so he must cheer up.
The next day, the base held an all-member meeting, which was undoubtedly a novel thing for the survivors who had lived here for nearly two months.
Because this was the first time for most of them to see such a large gathering organized by al-Qaeda, they were curious and had some expectations.
Everyone sat in order in the circular stands in the stadium, and Tang Xiaoquan and others chose a better middle seat to sit down.
"How many brothers are you talking about? What do you think is going on in such a big scene today?" Wu Chao glanced sideways at his mouth and stared at Xu Renjie, who was slowly walking towards the bottom of the stands.
Wang Qiang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Tsk, needless to say, he must be announcing some big plan!"
Lao Lin and others also agreed with this, because apart from the "big plan", they really couldn't think of anything else worthy of such a big move by the base.
"Okay! Please be quiet!" Xu Renjie's penetrating voice immediately floated over the noisy stadium without any amplification equipment.
In an instant, the survivors who were still talking about it all closed their mouths and looked at the rostrum with eyes closed.
Seeing that the venue became quiet, Xu Renjie cleared his throat and continued: "I have called everyone here today. There are two main things to announce."
Hearing this, Lao Lin and Lao Zhao couldn't help but look at each other. It was obvious that the "two things" Xu Renjie said was somewhat beyond their expectations.
"First of all, everyone knows that last week, the three teams we recruited went out to carry out the first search for supplies. I believe everyone has heard of some of the things that happened during the process."
"I have to regret to tell you here that after a week of confirmation, we have reason to believe that all members of the second team have been killed!"
There was a brief commotion. Although the people in the stands were well prepared, they still couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard Xu Renjie personally say the result.
After all, for the survivors nestled within the high wall, they have not felt the threat of death for a long time, and they have almost forgotten what a "zombie" is.
However, now, the fact that the second team was wiped out undoubtedly sounded the alarm to their almost "forgotten" brains:
The apocalypse continues! They are still in danger!
The names of the five members of the second team who were killed were read out loud one by one. Each time they were read, it was like a sharp knife was pierced in Xu Renjie's heart.
"I hope everyone can remember the names of these people, because it is their selflessness and fearlessness that make it possible for us to live! I also hope that everyone here can pass on their fearless will, because only in this way, we Only then can humans regain their homeland!"
At this point, Xu Renjie paused subconsciously, then solemnly glanced at the people in the audience, and then shouted in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone stand up, let us observe one minute of silence for these fallen heroes!"
