In the living room on the 5th floor, Lao Xu and Lei Tong sat facing each other.
In front of him a chessboard game was going on.
"Vault!"
"Chief!"
"Arch your feet!"
…
This set of chess trophies was found by Lei Tong 2 days ago when he was bored and rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Apparently the owner of the household hadn't used it much since he bought it.
In fact, Lei Tong, a tall and thick man, rarely has the patience to play with things.
Unfortunately, it was too hard to stay at home these days, so I found a chessboard and immediately pulled Xu Renjie over to start a battle.
It stands to reason that Lao Xu has no intention of playing chess. The brothers outside are ignorant of life and death, and the crisis of the current situation is complicated. All these things make him unbearably worried.
The reason why he accepted Lei Tong's proposal was actually to relax his mind and distract him from the last resort.
At this moment, Xu Renjie suddenly felt a tremor in his pocket, and Wei Dazhuang, who was stunned and screaming in confusion, immediately asked: "Company Commander, what's wrong with you?"
Without answering, Xu Renjie put down the chess piece in his hand, then touched his trousers, took out his almost forgotten mobile phone and took a closer look: "It's Xiao Hu, the news of Xiao Hu's arrival."
Although I didn't click on the text message, the fact that my phone actually received the text message prompt at this time already explained everything.
Upon hearing this, Lei Tong's big face changed rapidly, and finally he asked uncertainly: "Xiao Hu!? Company commander, are you talking about Xiao Hu and the others?"
Nodding, Xu Renjie didn't say much. He quickly opened the text message and read the message written by Hu Xiaodong from top to bottom.
After reading it, I looked up at the sky, seeming to be thinking about something.
"What, what's wrong, company commander, short, what's written in the text message?" Lei Tong asked with some worry.
"Xiao Hu asked how many days our supplies will last." He muttered absently.
After hearing this, Lei Tong counted his fingers and made a calculation: "It's not a big deal if we save a little and persist for two weeks."
How could Lao Xu not know about this? He has been living a careful life these days.
But based on his understanding of Hu Xiaodong, this guy would not send a message asking about this matter without any reason.
After all, regarding the issue of material supply consumption, we had already responded to it as early as the first text message contact.
Could it be that something is wrong with the team outside! ?
Think of this. Lao Xu's eyebrows frowned.
At that moment, he picked up his phone and poked at it, then clicked the send button.
"Buzz!"
"Come on, come on!" Wei Dazhuang's urging voice came from his ears.
Hu Xiaodong clicked it and took a look, the corners of his lips curled up.
"What did Lao Xu say on the other end?" Wei Dazhuang urged again.
Hu Xiaodong smiled: "I asked Lao Xu how their current supplies were. He didn't answer, but instead asked about our current situation."
"Then just tell him directly!" Wei Dazhuang replied without thinking much.
"Hmph, Lao Xu probably thinks that something happened to us when he asked." Tang Xiaoquan's words caught Hu Xiaodong's mind.
In his opinion, Xu Renjie avoided answering the questions he asked. There is something fishy about it.
"Forget it! Just respond to Da Zhuang directly as he said."
After quickly editing the text, Hu Xiaodong sent the message.
Ten seconds later, Lao Xu received it as scheduled.
"How about it, company commander? What did you say this time? Did they encounter any trouble?"
"No! Everyone is safe, they are near us."
"Oh, as long as everyone is safe!" He breathed a long sigh of relief, and Lei Tong immediately followed up: "Then according to this meaning, they are preparing..."
"Yes," before Lei Tong could finish his words, Lao Xu nodded.
Then he lowered his head and stared at the screen of his mobile phone.
Hu Xiaodong's news straightforwardly explained the current situation of his side. At the same time, he simply asked Xu Renjie to truthfully tell them the supply situation so that they could plan their next actions.
Of course, in order to prevent Lao Xu from overthinking.
Hu Xiaodong also emphasized the reason for asking this point.
It turns out that I was worried that the snow outside would slow down the zombies. In this case...
When Hu Xiaodong received a reply from Lao Xu again, the latter finally gave him the answer he wanted to know.
"Lao Xu and their supplies can last for another two weeks."
"Is it reliable?" Hua Biao still had doubts.
"It should be reliable. Lao Xu and I made it very clear that we need to know the exact time of his supply of supplies to arrange a rescue plan. I think Lao Xu should know the importance of this and will not fool us with false numbers."
"Buzz!" Hu Xiaodong's voice just finished. The phone buzzed again.
"There's a text message here again, hurry up and read it!"
Without Hua Biao's urging, Hu Xiaodong had already clicked on the text message.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ask about our current location, haha. It seems that Lao Xu is still not at ease with what I said." Hu Xiaodong touched his chin with a slight self-mockery, and started to reply:
"We are currently less than 500 meters north of you."
"Where are you going to set up the sound source?"
"Do you see the eight-story office building directly in front of you, two blocks away?"
"Kanghui Building?"
"That's right! That's right there."
"When are you going to take action?"
"This is still uncertain. We will go back to arrange the scene tomorrow at the earliest. As for the final action, it depends on your material supplies. Only then can we make the final decision, so Lao Xu, you must tell us the details!"
Relying on Bluetooth transmission, Hu Xiaodong and Huabiao used their mobile phones to communicate back and forth.
Finally, Hu Xiaodong confirmed the situation on Lao Xu's end and found that the latter's supplies could still last for two weeks.
"If it can still last for two weeks, then the problem will be easy to solve. We will set up the sound source as planned tomorrow. We will check the snow accumulation after that. As long as it does not affect the activities of animals, we will take action immediately."
"Well, that's what I mean. Xiao Hu can just go back to Lao Xu and tell him to be prepared and ready to evacuate at any time."
Nodding, Hu Xiaodong combined the opinions of Huabiao and Tang Xiaoquan and sent Xu Renjie a message from the pupa leader.
The content not only mentions the action, but also points out all the precautions for evacuation later.
After doing this, both the team and Lao Xu felt relieved.
Especially for Xu Renjie, the mountain that had weighed on his heart for several days because of anxiety finally landed safely.
The news that the brothers outside were safe really made him feel relieved.
"Come out! General! You lose!" Lao Xu, who was in a better mood, picked up the chess pieces he had dropped just now, and with one move, he avoided Thunder Eyes from a desperate situation.
"I'll go! Company commander, you..." Looking at the veteran who was killed by Lao Xu with one move, Lei Tong's eyes were dumbfounded, but his mood was different from the sad mood of losing chess. The news about his companions, and the news that he would be freed soon The hope in this difficult situation undoubtedly makes Lei Tong feel better.
"Okay, Hua Zi, Xiao Wu, you two have been working hard on the long journey these two days. You should have a good rest today. I won't arrange the vigil for you in the evening. I will call you when we come back for dinner." (To be continued.)
