Zhao Dacheng worked very efficiently and completed the entire map within a few days. All terrain, directions and distances are visible at a glance. Hao Tian helped him make thick paper cards with a waterproof surface, and gave two to each of the cannon fodder team.
As the date of the competition approached, Zheng Wang's undiminished enthusiasm became even higher, and he even shouted in the group to train together every day. It's just that Chen Yiqian's experiment seems to have reached a critical moment. Since the last time they explored the actual combat base together, they often spent the whole day in the biological research center without seeing anyone.
After seeing Su Yu's "Dark Night", Hao Tian also bought herself a brand new A-190 submachine gun, and joked that she was a poor student and had too much stationery.
Not only that, she also gave Zhao Dacheng a C-219 assault rifle, saying it was leftover from his father's previous use. But Su Yu could tell at a glance that the gun was the same as her submachine gun. It was brand new. There is still a smell of gun oil.
Zhao Dacheng naturally saw it, and he couldn't refuse it, so he gladly accepted Hao Tian's kindness.
That guy Zheng Wang had been studying firearms long before Su Yu went to buy bows and arrows, and now he was almost in the running-in stage with his new rifle.
The four of them finish class together every day, go to the training ground to practice together, and meet every weekend to conduct exercises at the actual combat base. The days go by very quickly.
After class that day, Su Yu was practicing at the archery range when he suddenly received a message from Chen Yiqian.
Chen Yiqian has been busy experimenting these days and has not been in the group for a long time, nor has he contacted any of them. Everyone knew that his research was important, so no one bothered him.
Su Yu placed An Ye on the table and opened the call me message flashing on the screen.
Under Chen Yiqian's profile picture, a short question popped up:
【where? School girl]
Su Yu: [Training ground. 】
Chen Yiqian: [Okay, I'll go find you, wait for me. 】
After the conversation ended, Su Yu turned off the screen and picked up the bow and arrow on the table, but never took out the arrow feathers in the quiver.
She tilted her head, her movements stagnant, wondering in her mind if Chen Yiqian was so anxious to find her, was there something important? Could it be related to his research?
…
When Chen Yiqian arrived at the training ground, he searched for Su Yu in the gun shooting area for a long time but did not find Su Yu until he met Hao Tian. He realized that Su Yu was actually at the archery range.
The archery range is some distance away from the gun shooting area, and there are only a few students who choose bows and arrows as their main weapons. When Chen Yiqian walked over, Su Yu was the only one shooting arrows at the range, and he saw that familiar figure at a glance.
Su Yu was pulling out an arrow from behind, placing his backhand on a black long bow, and pulling the bowstring into an almost full moon shape with both arms.
Chen Yiqian stood there in a daze, and some memories seemed to gradually fill his mind.
Su Yu stood upright, with the sleeves of her blue and black training uniform rolled up above her elbow joints. Her refreshing short hair was slightly tucked behind her ears, revealing her entire face. Her eyes were fixed on the target paper on the field, and the back of her hands showed clear phalanges due to the tense muscles.
Scenes like this have repeatedly rolled over in Chen Yiqian's mind, but they are different from those memories.
He came back to his senses slightly, and after Su Yu shot an arrow, he shouted at the right time:
"School girl."
This shout echoed in the empty archery range, making Chen Yiqian feel a little dazed. It seemed that a long, long time ago, he had been in this place, holding a newly purchased pink helmet, and happily shooting an arrow at a man who was bending his bow. The girl called "senpai".
However, he didn't grasp the timing well at that time, causing the senior sister to be distracted and miss the arrow.
Su Yu shot a ten-ring shot. She turned around and saw Chen Yiqian looking at her blankly.
After knowing him for so long, this was the first time I saw him looking so stupid.
"Senior." Su Yu put down his bow and arrow and called him.
Chen Yiqian came back to his senses, waved to Su Yu, and strode towards her.
"I don't even know, are you a bow player?" Chen Yiqian's tone became as familiar as ever.
Su Yu replied with a smile: "Yes, it took me a long time to choose, but I still have some talent for this."
Chen Yiqian's eyes flashed, he picked up the "Dark Night" on the table and praised: "You have a good bow."
Su Yu directly confessed: "I exchanged it for the perfume you gave me."
Chen Yiqian's eyes widened, but he didn't look angry. He smiled and said, "It's worth it. Then consider this arrow as a gift from me."
What logic?
Su Yu curled his lips at Chen Yiqian almost invisible.
Chen Yiqian saw her expression and grinned.
Then he stopped smiling and said with an unprecedented serious face: "Let's talk about something serious."
Su Yu picked up the towel on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned around and asked, "What?"
"I just heard in the past few days that you were present when Song Zaihu died?" Chen Yiqian asked.
This is actually the case. Is this kind of thing worth a trip in person? Just send condolences on call me, Su Yu thought.
Besides, the Song Zaihu incident had happened for more than a month, and there was no news from Chu Wei. The discussions in the college gradually faded away, and Chen Yiqian realized why he was nervous.
"Yes, I was present." Su Yu replied honestly.
"I heard something." Even though there were only two of them in the entire archery range, Chen Yiqian couldn't help but get closer and lowered his voice and said, "That zombie is different."
Su Yu paused.
She believed that the Chu Wei investigation team had not disclosed her witness account to the public, but this did not mean that everyone at the college could not see the transcript.
She did not hide this entire incident, including the training base, from Chu Wei, nor from his best friends. As for Chen Yiqian, thinking about it now, there was no need to hide it from him.
"It's different." Su Yu wiped the dark night clean and put it back into the bag.
Having made up his mind, he told Chen Yiqian everything that had happened.
After listening to her narration, Chen Yiqian was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a while, he raised his head and asked her: "You didn't get into any trouble because of these things, did you?"
"Not yet," Su Yu replied: "After all, there is no news from Teacher Chu's investigation team, and no one is threatened by being accused."
"That's good..." Chen Yiqian muttered.
"Actually, our team's research has also made new progress. These zombies have indeed undergone extraordinary changes."
"What?" Su Yu turned around and asked.
"You know, my research object is the amber-like film in the corpse pile. Our team got the unsolidified 'amber' sample a few days ago." His eyes flickered: "Like Chou Chou, from the living zombies …”
