As night fell, Xu Renjie, who was out on patrol, finally returned to the station with his team members.
They set out at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and searched for five hours. If they hadn't considered that it was not safe to go out at night, they might have stayed all night.
It's a pity that even though Xu Renjie worked so hard and almost completed one-third of the original plan in half a day, the final search result still turned up nothing.
They did not find the whereabouts of Luo Yi and others. Apart from zombies, there were only desolate streets and the howling north wind that was getting colder.
Tang Xiaoquan had expected this. Frankly speaking, he proposed patrolling just to stabilize Xu Renjie, because he had read many psychological books and knew very well that this stage was when the latter was most impulsive and most likely to do stupid things.
So find something to do for him. Firstly, it will help ease the other person's mood. Secondly, it will also give Xu Renjie time to calm down and sober up.
But if we really want to talk about the life and death of Luo Yi and the others, in Tang Xiaoquan's opinion, there are only two words: killed in battle! !
It was obvious that no one could survive in a stadium filled with corpses.
Dai Sha's group had guns and cars, so they were still able to put up a fight.
But what do 3 warriors have? After half a month of torture, it is unknown whether they still have the strength to stand up.
Of course, Tang Xiaoquan kept these thoughts in his mind and he was not stupid enough to reveal them.
As usual, Wei Yang prepared a fairly sumptuous dinner for everyone. After all, she knew how hard it was to live at the base.
Therefore, after being able to escape, she naturally wanted to make up for everyone.
Although she also knows that materials are precious and cannot tolerate luxury, her body is the capital of the revolution after all. Without a good body, what use will the extra materials you have left behind?
At the dinner table, Lao Zhao truthfully recounted to Xu Renjie what he had discussed in the afternoon. The latter expressed obvious surprise after hearing this.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Xiaoquan hurriedly interjected to dispel Xu Renjie's concerns: "Company Commander Xu, this plan is to prepare for winter. During the preparation period, you will patrol as usual. As for searching for supplies, we have already arranged additional manpower, so that the two groups of personnel will be outside." Doing things can also increase the chance of discovering Luo Yi and the others."
Sure enough, after hearing the words "increase the chance of discovering Luo Yi and others", Xu Renjie's frown relaxed a little.
As for him now, rescuing his subordinates is the only thing he cares about, so the matter mentioned by Lao Zhao has been finalized.
At night, the north wind blew slowly across the street. Tang Xiaoquan leaned alone on the corner of the balcony, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
Dad, mom, sister, are you okay?
Continuous adventures and continuous tribulations left Tang Xiaoquan with no time to think about finding his relatives.
Today, after being reminded by Wang Qiang, he suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.
That's how people are, you don't appreciate it when you have it! Only when you lose it will you realize how valuable it is!
Thinking of his parents working in the fields after waking up early for him, and thinking of the two old men's thinning and pale hair, Tang Xiaoquan felt a pain in his heart like steel.
The moonlight was still bright and clear, but it gradually became blurry and moist in Tang Xiaoquan's eyes.
At this time, Tang Xiaoquan's heart was complicated. On the one hand, he was impatient to return to his hometown to find his closest relatives; on the other hand, the experiences he had experienced along the way made him afraid of facing the final result. He worried that the truth wasn't so great.
And just when he was confused about the conflict, a beautiful figure gently opened the door and walked out, and then sat close to the wall with him.
"How about admiring the moon alone?" Wei Yang saw the tears in the corners of Tang Xiaoquan's eyes, but she was quite considerate and did not mention her name.
Because she knows that "men don't shed tears easily", although she doesn't know why the other person sheds tears, but for her, it's enough to stay with the other person.
"Ah?" He was slightly stunned. Tang Xiaoquan obviously didn't expect that Wei Yang would appear here. He wiped his eyes immediately and said with some embarrassment: "Ah, the wind is quite strong this night, and my eyes are squinting. You, please pay attention!"
"Yeah!" Resisting the urge to laugh, Wei Yang cooperated with the other party's drama seriously.
After the joke, the atmosphere fell into calm again. Tang Xiaoquan didn't speak, and Wei Yang didn't speak either.
A man and a woman sat quietly, looking at the moonlight and enjoying the north wind.
The next day, according to the established plan, Xu Renjie and Lao Zhao each carried out a team of people to perform corresponding tasks.
Xu Renjie went out on patrol as usual to search for the whereabouts of Luo Yi and others.
Lao Zhao, on the other hand, is preparing supplies for winter.
Time passed like this day by day, and survivors' vehicles could be seen frequently entering and exiting the gate of the community every day.
It is precisely because of this that there are more and more supplies in the storage room.
Whether it is warm clothes, pants, shoes and socks, or daily needs of food and water, Lao Zhao and the others' collection really covers all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It's just that while things are going smoothly on their side, Xu Renjie is still making no progress.
In this regard, Tang Xiaoquan felt that it was necessary to communicate with Xu Renjie, at least to give the latter a reminder so that he could recognize the facts and could not continue to be so blind.
Considering the gap in age and status, Tang Xiaoquan found Lao Zhao and honestly told Zhao Yunhai his innermost thoughts and countermeasures.
After hearing this, the latter nodded in agreement. Without another word, he directly pulled Xu Renjie over and persuaded him in the most tactful tone possible: "Old Xu! This week has passed. Look at you like this. If you don’t want to drink tea or eat, you can’t go on like this! If you collapse, what will you do to the soldiers below? What will they think when they see Luo Yi in the future? You are a soldier, how do you adjust your psychology? I believe you He is much better than a teacher like me. I just want to say, try your best and prepare for the worst! It’s time to set a deadline for action!”
After saying this, Lao Zhao patted Xu Renjie on the shoulder.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. As for the latter's decision, it depends on Lao Xu himself.
Materials are transported to the station every day as usual, but if you want to move so many people, it is obviously not enough to have material reserves.
If nothing else, you have to find a way to carry so much supplies, so the modification of vehicles has been put on the agenda again by the survivors.
Based on the actual situation and the resources at hand, Wang Zhongyu decided to make necessary reinforcements and modifications to the bus that Wei Dazhuang drove back at that time.
Therefore, after solving the two problems of food and clothing, "travel" became a problem that must be solved. (To be continued.)
