#118 - Chapter 118: Get it done and leave
"Do it."
Just two simple words.
Spoken from Qin Jin's mouth.
Li Bowen and several other combat team members beside him had already released the safeties on their firearms. Under their boss's command, they decisively opened fire, blasting the target's head!
Bang, bang, bang!
Several gunshots rang out in the hall, then quickly fell silent.
Once again, several horrified and incredulous corpses were left behind.
Then, several combat team members continued to pull out the sharp锥 from their waists, repeatedly stabbing the corpses to ensure they wouldn't have a chance to mutate.
"Search every part of this house, move all useful supplies to our vehicles! We're leaving immediately!"
After Qin Jin gave the order, he ignored his subordinates, who had already begun to work skillfully.
He turned to look at Lin Zhijie, who was frozen in shock.
Staring into his eyes, he said in a calm tone:
"I helped you rescue the person. I hope the two of you can work hard for our base in the future."
"Don't think about being perfunctory. You've seen that we're all people who get things done. We're not used to those superficial things. If we don't like something, we just eliminate it directly."
He stepped forward and "lightly" patted Lin Zhijie, who hadn't fully recovered, on the shoulder.
Ignoring Lin Zhijie's staggering from the pat, he curled his lips into an inexplicable smile, turned, and left the unit, heading towards the vehicles below.
Left in place, Lin Zhijie grimaced as he rubbed the arm Qin Jin had patted, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
He and his sister seemed to have boarded a formidable ship.
He wondered what would happen in the future?
He didn't have much time to lament.
After the boss's order, the combat team members were already rummaging through cabinets and drawers like wolves, searching for all the supplies that Dao Ge and the others had stored in this unit.
There were quite a few medicines of various kinds, piled up to fill half the room.
There were also dozens of kilograms of grain and a little seasoning, even the pot of cooked rice was not spared, all quickly moved to the vehicles downstairs.
From coming up here to rescue people to moving everything back to the convoy, it took no more than fifteen minutes in total.
All personnel boarded the vehicles.
Six vehicles were prepared.
Under the captain's command, they began to drive towards the temporary驻地.
————————————
After five PM.
The setting sun was slanting to the west.
Only some afterglow was still stubbornly shining on the earth.
At the school of the temporary驻地.
The defense had already been completed. Several combat squad leaders were still having their team members continue to check every position to ensure there were no loopholes.
Tonight was the first night spent outdoors after the acid rain and zombie mutation, so they had to treat it with utmost care.
Near the gate of this school驻地, two team members were constantly watching the outside of the gate from the top of a three-story building next to it.
They had just received information from the two teams that went out, that they were about to return.
Indeed.
In less than two minutes, a convoy of six vehicles came into their view.
Seeing the familiar vehicle leading the way, the team member immediately reported the message to their own captain and used the walkie-talkie to contact the team members outside again.
After confirming there were no problems and no zombies around the gate, someone opened the gate and let the entire convoy drive in.
After the vehicle stopped, Qin Jin jumped out and saw several captains of the base who had stayed behind and came over to greet him, so he waved his hand and asked them:
"Has everything been done?"
The captains of course said there were no problems.
"We brought back two people. Pay attention to them. The man runs very fast and is suspected to be a survivor who has evolved after the end of the world. We will study him carefully after we return to the base."
"As for the other woman, she is his sister. Do your best to save her. I have a great use for her!"
Qin Jin continued to say to the other captains.
Lin Zhijie's identity as a leg-type进化者 doesn't need to be concealed. Everyone will come into contact with more various进化者 in the future, so they can adapt in advance.
As for Lin Runwei.
He needed her to return to the base alive to see if she could contribute to their bullet production business.
It wasn't bad to pick up two useful people on this trip.
The returning team members quickly completed the handover with the personnel left behind. Everyone quickly took action, vehicle maintenance, material handling, information verification, starting the fire to cook, and preparing to rest.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Tonight's night watch had also been assigned long ago, in three shifts, with ten people on duty each shift.
If nothing happened, of course, that would be best, but if something happened, they could immediately wake up other team members to help.
7 o'clock.
The sky was completely dark.
The night enveloped the entire city.
Today was not a full moon, the moonlight was extremely weak, and it became almost impossible to see one's fingers outside.
Strange roars and the sounds of objects colliding faintly came from outside the school.
On the walls of the school and some buildings near the edge, some energy-saving LED lights had been hung, illuminating the area not far outside the walls.
These were things brought out by the Green Source Base. They didn't consume much energy. After connecting to the storage batteries they brought, they could keep the lights on all night.
This time was different from the last time at the helicopter training ground. The location then was very remote, the area was wide, and the zombies hadn't mutated yet, so there was no need to mount all the lights.
This time, being close to the city, there were bound to be more zombies than last time, and after mutation, the zombies' senses were also more sensitive.
On the highest building in the school, two large searchlights were also prepared, and they would turn on the lights from time to time to illuminate the distance outside to see the situation.
Anyway, the zombies' eyesight was almost non-existent, and they would hardly react to seeing light. The reason they usually hated light during the day was mainly due to ultraviolet rays.
The night watch team members had also long been staring at the outside world with weapons, mainly using bows and arrows and crossbows, which didn't make much noise. If not necessary, it was best not to shoot here, otherwise it would be troublesome to attract too many zombies to form a corpse潮.
Each night watch team member also carried night vision goggles and binoculars, so if they really encountered danger, they wouldn't be discovered only when they were right in front of them.
There were other arrangements, but I won't go into detail.
In a five-story teaching building in this school, several classrooms on the fifth floor were lit with faint lights.
These classrooms were where the combat team members who didn't have to be on night watch rested.
They had long cleaned the space in the classrooms and brought the quilts and clothes they brought with them to prepare to rest here overnight.
In one of the classrooms, more than a dozen team members were gathered around a bonfire, a large pot was bubbling with steam, the food inside was rolling and boiling, and one team member was starting to distribute food to the others.
In this rare cold night in the south, being able to eat hot food could effectively dispel the cold in the body.
It could be considered a rare happiness in this apocalypse.
Next to this classroom, in another office.
Qin Jin was sitting in a chair next to an office table.
He had a tablet in his hand, and it was playing some videos.
Looking at these videos, he fell into deep thought.
