Chapter 734 Meeting

The next few days have been raining

Cheng Zijie's mood was as dark as the weather was as dark as the weather

Two things are in my heart, making him unable to sleep or eat

First of all, Dai Xiaotian's progress

Dai Xiaotian has never sent any messages back since the last call. Although Cheng Zijie was anxious, he had no choice but to wait.

Then there is the situation in Jizhou

After sacrificing a company's troops, dozens of civilians, and a last little pitiful heavy weapon, Lieutenant Colonel Fan led his last more than 300 subordinates to cover hundreds of civilians, and finally barely escaped from the zombies' encirclement.

Although it is in a mess, the wheels are faster than legs, even the legs of zombies

Therefore, when they were moving forward at full speed, they finally left the pursuit of zombies for a while and pulled further and further away

But small-scale battles continued along the way

Although they deliberately avoided the big city and chose the path with the least population, they did not hesitate to take a lot of ways, but they were a huge army after all. It was impossible for them to quietly travel such a long way like that small reconnaissance team without alarming any zombies

In addition, the survivors have been in a panic and are full of soldiers. They have mistakenly chosen to fight instead of more reasonable responses because of excessive tension, which has led to their difficulty in moving forward and frequent accidents.

During the retreat for several days, they lost a lot of people

And the bad thing is that it is time to turn summer and autumn, and the climate is capricious

The south of Cheng Zijie is located is not that good, but Jizhou is far away in the northwest.

Cold air chases with zombies, more and more people are falling ill on the road

If there is no support, it is only a matter of time before this survivor team is wiped out

Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Fu's armored troops were rushing to the full speed

But this powerful force had to fight, because ordinary township roads could not support the marching of tanks and self-propelled artillery of every dozens of tons.

And when encountering rivers, ordinary bridges cannot bear their weight.

Therefore, the route of the troops' travel was greatly restricted and they had to pass through some county towns and even larger cities

And at that time, they had to make a way out

As a result, their battles are more frequent and their travel speed is slower.

But they don't have to worry about their safety, because they have not encountered enemies like Desolation along the way

Ordinary zombies are no match for the armored forces at all, and every battle has almost become a boring target training

Later, in order to save ammunition and reduce the wear and tear of weapons, Lieutenant Colonel Fu ordered that no fire be opened at will, but instead used tanks to directly run over the zombie group.

Therefore, the reception troops not only did not have any casualties, but even consumed very little ammunition.

And they can replenish fuel on the spot along the way, so they almost remain in full condition

Of course, they also contacted many civilian survivors. After all, the virus has been outbreak for some time, and the survivor organizations in various places have been very complete.

In fact, this also consumes a lot of time, because they are not bandits after all, so they have to spend time negotiating when passing through some survivor strongholds.

On the fifth morning after Lieutenant Colonel Fu's troops set off, Cheng Zijie returned to the office after doing a routine inspection in the base, standing at the window and watching the drizzle of rain.

He has visited Major General Yan twice these days and found that he has actually recovered almost.

But although Major General Yan himself seems to be no different from the past, he has not resumed his work immediately, and he is very happy with such purity.

Cheng Zijie proposed to return command twice, but he always vaguely stated that he could not afford high-intensity work and had to wait for a few more days, so Cheng Zijie had to leave it alone.

Chief Cheng Zijie was thinking about what Major General Yan meant. The officer in charge of the Medical Experimental Center suddenly came to the office, looking a little uneasy

Let's sit down. Cheng Zijie returns to his desk

After the two sat down, the officer immediately reported: On that end... The family of Hu Xicai has found the civilians. There is no name in the list of civilians, and there is no relevant rescue record. We took a drone to see it yesterday. We also sent a helicopter to take a squad to reconnaissance over the residence. We have confirmed that there are no survivors nearby.

Cheng Zijie actually already knows this

Because he also asked Li Jianbin to look for the civilians placed by Major General Yan in Shuanghe, the answer was that there was no such person.

The situation is actually very obvious. After Major General Yan sent Hu Xicai to the laboratory, he did not rescue his wife and children as promised.

He doesn't know how to pursue this

Although Hu Xicai lives on the riverside, it is also a very prosperous residential area, which means there are a large number of dense zombies there.

If you send rescue troops to take risks just for two civilians who cannot confirm their life and death, it is definitely not Major General Yan's style

This incident made Cheng Zijie angry and disappointed, but he didn't know who was responsible, because it seemed that everyone, including himself, was responsible and could not be investigated.

So, he could only sigh: If I know if I go back to Shuanghe in the past two days, take him back

The officer silently said, but his expression suddenly became much more relaxed

Cheng Zijie didn't blame him, so he didn't ask why Cheng Zijie brought Hu Xi back to Shuanghe.

Only Cheng Zijie knows the reason for this

Hu Xicai was infected by the virus and his body had completely turned into a zombie, but he retained his human consciousness.

He can only understand human language and can only speak zombies, which means that he cannot communicate with anyone except Cheng Zijie or zombies

There is only one way to solve this problem, that is, the graphic language invented by Zhong Meixin

Taking him back to Shuanghe, teaching him graphic language like Harley, allowing him to communicate with humans and zombies, and trying to make him live normally. This is the only compensation Cheng Zijie can do now

Has the inhibitory agent needed by Ye Xiao team resumed preparation? Cheng Zijie couldn't just immerse himself in the negative emotions brought by that incident and asked as calmly as possible

Report to the chief, because the laboratory's refrigeration system has been powered off for a long time, the semi-finished medicines have been scrapped, and some raw materials cannot be used anymore. We must collect raw materials and start production again, so it will take two days to prepare the first batch of medicines at the latest day after tomorrow.

OK Although Cheng Zijie is not very satisfied with this speed, it is not a bad result to be able to resume production smoothly.

Wait for two more days

So he no longer struggled with this question: Is there anything else?

The officer asked hesitantly: Sir, the experimental conditions have been restored and the relevant personnel have been prepared. Are you really not going to continue the experiment? After all, the transformation of Ye Xiao team still has great flaws...

Cheng Zijie suddenly became irritated and asked in anger: Experiment? Are you willing to be an experimental subject?

The officer was surprised and dared not ask again

At this time, the phone ringing rang, and Cheng Zijie sighed: OK, all human experiments are stopped, General Yan, I will say it

Yes, the officer quickly stood up and saluted, and then left the office like a runaway

Cheng Zijie then picked up the microphone, and the cheerful voice of Lieutenant Colonel Fu immediately came from the opposite side: Report to the commander! Our vanguard unit has already met with the team in Jizhou! The location is in Nanguan County, Jiangbei Province. There are 2,000 civilians and an armed police detachment.

Cheng Zijie breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally there was some happy news.

The most worrying thing during this period was finally resolved successfully. Those desperate troops and civilians finally escaped

He is already very familiar with the location mentioned by Lieutenant Colonel Fu. In the past few days, he has studied the routes and processes of the two troops on the map countless times. The agreed meeting point between Haiyuan and Changnan is 1,100 kilometers away from Haiyuan. It is sandwiched between two rivers like Shuanghe River. There are no big cities nearby, and it is a relatively safe place.

Although the response action was very smooth, they did not come back for a day, so Cheng Zijie was worried all day long

So, he immediately shouted to the microphone: OK, since we have met, let's bring them back immediately

But Lieutenant Colonel Fu's answer was somewhat beyond Cheng Zijie's expectations: Sir, according to the current situation, I don't think they should continue to move forward immediately
