Since we set off in the afternoon, it didn't take long for the sky to turn gloomy.
In the evening, an explosion pierced the silence.
Then silver splits shone in the sky one after another.
It didn't take long for the heavy rain to pour down.
This is the season, the weather changes at any time.
The positions of Hu Xiaodong and Lei Tong were relatively good. They were both inside the building and had shelter, so they didn't have to worry about getting soaked by the rain.
But Xu Renjie and Hong Tao were miserable.
The two of them were on the roof of the sixth floor, and there was no awning or anything to cover their heads.
In addition, the heavy rain came suddenly, dousing the two of them instantly.
Xu Renjie has long been used to this kind of thing.
As a qualified scout, you can't choose what the weather will be like when you go on a mission.
Therefore, Xu Renjie did not change at all when facing the heavy rain.
But he hasn't changed, so he can't ignore Hong Tao next to him.
Hong Tao is not a scout, so Xu Renjie cannot ask Hong Tao to be like him.
"Lao Hong, you can go to the tent, I'll keep an eye on it." Xu Renjie immediately ordered.
Hong Tao was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
To be honest, the heavy rain really made him feel uncomfortable.
But at this time, Xu Renjie ordered him to go back... "Old Xu, I'm fine, so what, you go back and rest, I'll be fine here."
Although his body was not used to it, Hong Tao still told himself mentally to persevere.
After all, this was his first combat mission with the team.
Hong Tao did not want other team members to think that he was not good enough.
How could Xu Renjie not know Hong Tao's thoughts?
He admired Hong Tao's spirit, but... "Go back, I won't be polite to you anymore. Lao Hong, you know, none of us can predict when the "skinheads" will come. We need to maintain a good mental state. Deal with this. Now you go back and rest, and I'll call you and take my shift when needed. Do you understand me?"
"But..." How could Hong Tao not know what Xu Renjie said, but at this time, a sudden heavy rain would force him to leave his position...
"No but! Lao Hong, go back and rest, this is an order!" Knowing that he could not persuade Hong Tao to accept it, Xu Renjie simply interrupted Hong Tao and finished his instructions.
After Lao Xu issued this wave of orders, Hong Tao had no choice.
"Uh... then... okay, Lao Xu, I will obey the order. But Lao Xu, remember to switch shifts with me."
"Yeah, I will."
After watching Hong Tao leave, Xu Renjie took out a poncho from his backpack and covered himself.
He was really not being polite to Hong Tao.
As a Scout, severe weather operations are a must for them.
Not to mention heavy rain, snow or hail, when the task came, they had to go on it without hesitation.
After all, Scouts are the intelligence gatherers at the beginning of any mission.
Whether their intelligence is detailed or correct... there is no doubt that it will directly determine the direction of the entire battle.
Xu Renjie greeted Hong Tao to leave, and Hu Xiaodong called from his mobile phone: "Old Xu, Old Xu, how are you doing over there?"
Xu Renjie took the handstand and immediately pressed the button to respond: "It's okay, everything is normal."
"OK!" After receiving Xu Renjie's affirmation, Hu Xiaodong didn't say anything else.
Hu Xiaodong naturally knows Xu Renjie's abilities.
His greeting was mainly directed at Hong Tao.
But with Xu Renjie here, Hu Xiaodong knew that he would take good care of Hong Tao.
After greeting Xu Renjie, Hu Xiaodong motioned to Wang Qiang and Derek to go back to his room to rest.
There is no need for four people to stay and watch.
In the entire street, there was Xu Renjie at the high point, and there were people guarding him on both wings below.
Therefore, there is no need to guard everything.
Coupled with the heavy rain coming at this moment, it makes no sense for people to stay in such an environment.
Originally, Hu Xiaodong wanted to ask Wei Dazhuang to go back and rest.
It is enough for him to stay alone.
But considering Wei Dazhuang's character...if he was told to go back and rest at this juncture, he would definitely have to say a lot more.
In view of this, Hu Xiaodong did not name Wei Dazhuang.
"Oh, no, no, no, Brother Hu, I'll keep an eye on it from here. You guys go back and rest." Derek shied away as expected.
There was no need for Hu Xiaodong to persuade him, Wei Dazhuang immediately followed up: "Hey, Xiaode, if I tell you to go to the room to rest, just go and stop ink. When we are tired, we will naturally call you. Hurry!! "
Derek wanted to argue a few more words. After all, he, Hu Xiaodong and Lei Tong were both young people.
Young people are definitely better at staying up late than older people.
But Wang Qiang next to him reached out and pulled him aside: "Xiao De, let's go, we will come over later to change shifts."
Wei Dazhuang's temper can't be changed by just arguing.
In this case, instead of bickering here, it is better to actually go back to the house and rest.
To be honest, no one present could predict when the "skinheads" would come back.
Therefore, it is necessary to conserve physical strength.
Otherwise, if we all waste our time like this and wait until the "skinheads" really come, what will we do to fight the mutated bugs?
All three expressed the same point of view, and Derek seemed a bit unsociable and pretentious when he repeated it.
In desperation, he could only sigh: "Oh, okay, then Old Wei, Brother Hu, Qiangzi and I will go in first, and I will come back to change shifts with you later."
"Yes, I understand. I will greet you when I need to change shifts. Come in quickly." Wei Dazhuang waved his hand impatiently.
Compared with the restlessness on Hu Xiaodong's side, Lei Tong and Huo Yuankai's side were much calmer.
Lei Tong also told Huo Yuankai to rest.
Huo Yuankai didn't say anything to Lei Tong.
Huo Yuankai knew very well what kind of state he and Lei Tong should maintain.
Taking out the chocolate, Xu Renjie threw it into his mouth.
He's not very hungry now, so he can simply get something to lubricate his intestines.
The heavy rain lasted longer than expected.
Three hours passed, and the rainstorm did not slow down at all.
Xu Renjie's location also inevitably caused puddles.
Fortunately, this ambush did not require much concealment.
So Xu Renjie doesn't have to crawl on the ground all the time.
But even so, it feels uncomfortable to be drenched in heavy rain like this.
Most people would have been unable to bear it for a long time, but Xu Renjie was used to it.
Hong Tao came out several times to ask for a shift change, but Xu Renjie refused every time.
It's not that Xu Renjie doesn't trust Hong Tao, the main thing is... he doesn't need Hong Tao to replace him now.
Surveillance at night is a great test of one's energy.
Hong Tao was on duty outside alone, and it was raining heavily... No matter how you put it, Xu Renjie should be responsible for this job.
Xu Renjie thought clearly that he and Hong Tao must take shifts.
As for how to arrange the shift work...it's as simple as that for him in the evening and Hong Tao in the morning.
