Chapter 173 Shelter Military District

N City Shelter Military Station.

Lu Jingcheng was communicating with a middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Commander He, this is what happened. The purpose of our coming here is to find out the truth behind it."

He Yewei did not speak, but frowned and lowered his head in thought.

After a while, he raised his head and asked in a serious tone:

"Do the people over there know about this?"

The "over there" mentioned by He Yewei refers to the official side.

Lu Jingcheng shook his head.

"I don't know the specific situation inside them. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't tell them."

He Yewei nodded and patted Lu Jingcheng on the shoulder.

"Well done, Xiao Lu. You've worked hard during this period. You don't have to worry too much about this matter. As long as the person is still in the shelter, he can't run away."

After a pause, He Yewei continued:

"By the way, I've sent someone to inform Lao Xu that you guys are coming. Please call him back later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingcheng and several members of the Fiery Team showed expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.

How can it be?

None of their satellite phones worked!

There is actually communication equipment in the shelter?

Seeing the surprised expressions of several people, He Yewei understood what was going on.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he explained to everyone with a little pride on his face:

"It's a satellite phone developed by our own scientists."

This technology has been studied for nearly 20 years.

It took the hard work of many scholars, and great progress was made before the end of the world.

However, since the technology is still immature, it is not widely used.

But unexpectedly, it would come in handy in the end times.

After speaking briefly to He Yewei, Lu Jingcheng led his group out of He Yewei's office.

Outside the door, a little soldier had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing everyone coming out, he gave a standard military salute, then looked at Lu Jingcheng and said:

"Commander Lu, please follow me. I will take you to the communications room."

Lu Jingcheng smiled and nodded.

"It's troublesome."

The military zone is not large in area, and the houses are all built from container houses.

In order to save housing resources, the soldiers work in three shifts.

But it has been raining heavily recently and there is no way to carry out the mission.

The soldiers could only stay on standby within the military zone, so the entire area seemed extremely crowded.

Passing by the overcrowded quarantine center, Li Luo felt very uncomfortable.

It was the same in my previous life.

These warriors always do the most.

He is also the first to respond when encountering danger or difficulties.

But the food and accommodation they have are the worst.

Thinking of this, Li Luo became more determined to do something for them.

This was also the reason why she followed Lu Jingcheng here.

She needed to figure out the route here and find a time to secretly deliver some supplies to the soldiers.

She currently has no way to solve the housing problem, but she has more food and daily necessities than she can count.

communication room

Lu Jingcheng is waiting for the communicator to debug the equipment.

"Captain Lu, that's enough."

The communicator took the satellite phone and handed it to Lu Jingcheng carefully.

There is no other way. Resources are scarce and there are only three satellite phones in the shelter. We must cherish them.

Lu Jingcheng nodded.

Then, he took the satellite phone with both hands and raised it to his ear.

"Du...du..."

After two busy tones, Xu Yingzhong's powerful voice came from the microphone.

"Hello? Lao He."

"Leader, it's me."

"Chengzi? You're finally here, what took you so long?"

Lu Jingcheng's ears hurt from Xu Ying's loud voice, so he immediately moved the satellite phone further away.

"Leader, it's like this..."

Lu Jingcheng reported to Xu Ying everything that happened after the disconnection.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Just as Lu Jingcheng was about to ask, Xu Ying's choked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I got it. I'll make arrangements with the families of those children. Don't worry."

After a pause, Xu Ying continued:

"You did a great job on this mission! Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing his old leader's voice trying to hold back, Jingcheng Lu's eyes felt a little sore.

"It's not hard, it should be."

"Hey…"

Xu Ying took a long breath and then said:

"What about the remaining kids? Let them get on the phone."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying this, Lu Jingcheng quickly adjusted his mentality and returned to his normal expression.

Then he turned around and handed the satellite phone to Lin Hai, who was closest to him.

"The leader wants to talk to you, come one by one."

After leaving these words, Lu Jingcheng left the communication room.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the corridor window, Lu Jingcheng felt a little depressed, although he had been trying his best to endure it these days.

But when he heard his leader's choking voice, he could hardly hold it in.

Every night when Lu Jingcheng went to sleep, he would dream about fighting side by side with his teammates who had sacrificed their lives.

He was the one who brought the person out, but now he has lost him...

Just when he felt painful and helpless, a soft body gently hugged him from behind.

Li Luo's attention has always been on Lu Jingcheng.

So, she noticed Lu Jingcheng's abnormality at the first moment.

When Lu Jingcheng left the communication room, Li Luo followed him out.

Seeing Lu Jingcheng's trembling back, Li Luo felt so distressed that she hugged him.

Lu Jingcheng didn't say anything, nor did he turn around. He just gently held Li Luo's hand that was holding him.

He didn't want Li Luo to see his current expression.

Li Luo didn't say anything, but just hugged him and accompanied him quietly.

She could guess why Lu Jingcheng did this.

Although Lu Jingcheng hid well, he could not escape Li Luo's eyes.

She could see guilt and self-blame in Lu Jingcheng's eyes.

She really wanted to tell Lu Jingcheng that his teammates’ sacrifice was not his fault, but the people who caused the disaster should be blamed.

But Li Luo knew that now was not a good time.

Let him vent his frustration before talking to him, otherwise he definitely won't listen.

After a long time, Lu Jingcheng adjusted his mentality.

He is not a person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. He also knows that the person who caused the disaster is the culprit of all this.

He just didn't know how to face the families of the fallen team members in the future.

However, thinking about these things now would only add to my troubles.

All he can do is to find out the masterminds behind the incident as soon as possible, execute them on the spot, and comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven.

After wiping his face roughly and taking a deep breath, Lu Jingcheng turned around and faced Li Luo with a smile.

When he saw his girlfriend's worried look, Lu Jingcheng felt distressed.

"I'm sorry, Luo Luo, for making you worry."
