#778 - Chapter 778 Critical Moment
"Let's continue to the third floor!! I remember there's a shop near the edge over there! It has some glass windows with a view of the outside. After smashing the glass, there are decorative wires nearby! We might be able to escape outside by climbing down!"
Xiao Fei's heart was pounding rapidly due to the intense exercise, but his brain maintained a fast operating speed, quickly recalling other possible escape routes in the mall.
He had eaten with his sister in this mall before, and there were indeed some places with views of the outside.
He actually quickly came up with a seemingly feasible escape method!
There's hope!
Joy surged in the hearts of several people, and hope appeared in their despairing minds.
It's good to have a solution.
Moreover, what Xiao Fei said made sense. As long as they could climb out of the mall through the glass, climbing down to around the second floor might allow them to escape!
Without hesitation or discussion, Xiao Fei took the lead and continued rushing towards the third floor.
Yao Lei took a deep breath behind him. It's good to have hope. The worst thing at this time is to stand still and wait for death.
She grabbed two trash cans at the second-floor staircase and threw them down, temporarily disrupting the swarm of corpses squeezing upwards.
The zombies chasing from behind were still following closely, so they had to act quickly.
Mentang Town.
Green Source Base Headquarters.
In the leader's office, a group of people stood solemnly. They were the cadres of the Green Source Base.
Something happened.
Team Leader Li and Airship No. 1, who went to Minnan Province to carry out a special mission, have not returned to this day!
According to the previous agreement and the calculable airship fuel endurance, they should have returned to the base by yesterday or today at the latest.
But now it is already afternoon, and Team Leader Li and others who went out are still nowhere to be seen.
"There is a high probability that Bowen and the others have had an accident!"
"Immediately arrange for Airship No. 2 and helicopters to prepare to go to Minnan Province for search and rescue operations!"
"The airship will depart tonight, and the helicopters will take off in the middle of the night. They must arrive at the designated mission location in Minnan Province before tomorrow morning to find them! Whether they are dead or alive, we must have an answer!"
Qin Jin arranged a series of rescue and search measures with a blank expression.
He was a little unexpected that Li Bowen and others did not return from this mission.
Unfortunately, even if I trust Lao Li again, mistakes will still occur when facing countless situations.
It is meaningless to talk about regret now.
It is more important to send people to find out the reason why Li Bowen's team did not return and to provide rescue.
As the captain of the Green Source combat team, Li Bowen's team is worth sending Green Source's forces to search and rescue.
Not to mention that they are all great heroes who have been with the base since its establishment, and many eyes in the base are also watching the follow-up handling of these people who have not returned from their missions.
It's okay for other ordinary personnel to die, but not for core personnel and team-level cadres.
They must be found.
At the very least, the reason for their death must be found.
The cadres who received the leader's instructions responded and left.
They were also not in a good mood that Team Leader Li had not returned.
They could only pray that Team Leader Li and others, who were in an unknown location, were safe and would return home in the subsequent search and rescue work.
Soon, only Qin Jin and Zhao Ling were left in the leader's office.
Recently, Zhao Ling has taken over many base affairs, and is no longer limited to life matters. Even base security and dealing with external forces have begun to be involved.
Wang Yang and Tang Jinming have become her subordinates.
It can be said that in the Green Source Base, the power controlled by Zhao Ling is second only to the leader.
This was of course Qin Jin's intentional arrangement.
Because he found that Zhao Ling did have management talent and could handle many subtle things in an orderly manner. Perhaps this is the advantage of women.
He only needs to grasp the overall situation, and gradually hand over the remaining secondary matters to his woman to manage.
This is what he has always wanted to do for a long time.
Gradually withdraw from the vortex of management.
Just like now.
Qin Jin has recently had more time to think about various issues.
For example, what he saw and heard in his previous life, how Green Source should deal with the disasters that will appear in the future, and what kind of base he should build in this life with everything he once dared not imagine.
These are actually more important than simply burying himself in handling base affairs.
Only by clarifying the future development direction of the base can it go further and stronger.
Thinking of this, he slowly walked to the window, looking at the gradually descending sun outside. Coming to mid-December, the temperature finally dropped below zero.
This winter will be another difficult cold disaster.
I wonder what situation Bowen and the others are in, and whether they can return to the base before the severe cold arrives?
"Don't worry, Team Leader Li and the others are very strong. They may have just encountered some unexpected situation and can't come back for the time being. Maybe they will come back by themselves in a few days?"
Zhao Ling also walked to Qin Jin's side, took his hand and comforted him.
She knew that Li Bowen had been injected with D-serum, and he was originally an evolver, so he was extremely good in individual strength.
As long as he doesn't encounter terrifying thermal weapons, ordinary enemies will hardly pose a threat to him.
"I hope so."
Qin Jin shook the woman's hand and replied.
The base is too far away from Minnan Province, so we can only send subordinates to search for them. The specific result is really hard to say.
As the leader, it is not convenient for him to follow and look for a team of subordinates.
This matter is over for the time being.
The perspective returns to Minnan Province.
Inside the rioting shopping mall, countless zombies were desperately squeezing towards the second floor, wanting to be the first to seize the delicious food that dared to break in.
Now they no longer care about the helicopter roar that awakened them before, and have all changed to chasing these intruders!
The scene was extremely chaotic!
Hearing Xiao Fei say that there was a restaurant on the third floor that might lead to the outside, Yao Lei and the others quickly ran over there.
Along the way, they did not forget to push down the items on the road to hinder the zombies that were closely following behind.
"Roar!!!"
The zombies running in the front were constantly tripped by objects in their hissing roars, and once again became obstacles for their companions behind them. For a time, they could not keep up with Yao Lei and others in front.
Until Xiao Fei stepped into the third floor of the shopping mall, there were already at least hundreds or nearly a thousand corpses piled up behind him!
"That's the one!!! Leave two people here at the escalator to block the zombies rushing up! The others go and break the windows!!! Quick!!!"
He shouted excitedly and quickly made arrangements. Time was urgent, and he had no time to care about other people's thoughts. Finding a way out was the most important thing!
After speaking, he rushed to the buffet restaurant and started smashing the large window near the edge with a bench!
Here at the escalator, Brother Qin and Sun Haohai unreservedly stayed here to resist the zombies constantly涌上来的 from below!
The situation suddenly reached a critical moment!
