#791 - Chapter 791 The Road Home
The scene shifts to another city in Minnan Province.
Quanzhou City.
The place where Li Bowen's team obtained their individual equipment a few days ago.
Today, a large airship and two helicopters are visiting!
It is the Green Source combat team that Qin Jin sent to Quanzhou yesterday to search for the missing team!
They arrived early in the morning, but after searching for most of the day, they still haven't found many useful clues!
At this time, the sun is about to set. Except for Airship No. 2, which is temporarily staying somewhere over Quanzhou, the other two helicopters have already returned.
After returning to the base, they will report today's search situation to the leader and then decide whether to come back tomorrow.
As for Zhong Yu and the others, who are staying in Airship No. 2, they are resting.
They arrived here early this morning, and after landing, they began to search for the mission coordinates given by Director Qin, but naturally, they found nothing.
Afterwards, Team Leader Zhong shifted the focus of the search to other targets.
He began to have his team members contact the survivors here to communicate with them about whether they had seen any special circumstances in the past few days.
He also inquired about the largest forces in this city.
Understanding these things will naturally make it easier to contact these forces and inquire about information that may be needed later.
Generally speaking, the local snakes have the greatest chance of knowing what has happened recently.
Doing all this took Zhong Yu and his team most of the day.
Helicopters are not suitable for staying here for too long, only airships are suitable.
"Keep your eyes peeled, you sentries! A team of our people has disappeared here, and there may be unknown dangers that could appear at any time!"
On the airship, Zhong Yu once again instructed the on-duty defense team members before returning to the cabin to sit down and rest.
There is still no clue about the disappearance of Team Leader Li and the others. It is not even known whether there are unknown enemies hiding, so it is necessary to raise the alert to the highest level.
Although they knew that they were unlikely to find Team Leader Li and the others on the first day of this mission, the current result still made them a little frustrated.
They brought short-wave communication equipment. If Airship No. 1 was within a 30-kilometer range, they should have been able to receive the signals they transmitted.
But today, they flew all over Quanzhou and did not receive a reply.
This means two possibilities.
One is that Team Leader Li and the others have left Quanzhou and are not within this range.
The other is that they are still in this city, but something unexpected has happened and they cannot reply!
The first possibility also implies to some extent that they had an accident. Instead of returning to the base, they went to some unknown place.
Neither possibility is good.
"Don't worry, Yao Lei and Team Leader Li are together, so there will definitely be no problems. Maybe their airship just broke down and they are repairing it somewhere. In a few days, they will run back to the base even earlier than us."
Zhong Yu seemed to notice that Zhou Xin was in a bad mood, so he opened his mouth to comfort her.
Zhou Xin and Yao Lei are the only two women in the core combat personnel, and they are also familiar team members, so everyone knows that she and Yao Lei have a very good relationship.
Team Leader Li only brought Yao Lei and Liu Qing, two core members, on this mission. Zhou Xin and Gao Qiang had other tasks and did not accompany the team.
Unexpectedly, Yao Lei and the others had an accident this time.
After Director Qin decided to send out a rescue team last night, Gao Qiang and Zhou Xin immediately requested to sign up to participate.
But they haven't found anything today.
"I hope so."
Zhou Xin was not in a good mood despite Team Leader Zhong's comfort.
In the apocalypse, she really doesn't have many close friends.
Yao Lei is one of them.
There are other non-core combat female members, but the difference in status and relationship between everyone is too great.
Gao Qiang, who was on the side, also frowned and squatted in the corner.
He had followed Team Leader Li for a long time. If he had to say who he admired most in the entire base, then besides Qin Jin, it would definitely be Li Bowen.
He must be present for this search operation.
At this time, it was pitch black outside. After the sun went down, the world was returned to the zombies for their revelry.
Zhong Yu, Zhou Xin, and Gao Qiang didn't know what the situation was with Li Bowen's team.
The outdoor temperature in December nights had already dropped below zero. Without a warm shelter or delicious food, they didn't know how the team members, who were either alive or dead, were doing.
Hopefully, they are still alive.
The search will continue tomorrow. First, ask the survivors and forces in Quanzhou to see if there are any gains.
The two helicopters that left will most likely return tomorrow after reporting back tonight, and try again in the cities around Quanzhou to see if any signals appear.
It seems that this search operation will need to be maintained for a long time.
Zhong Yu and the others are prepared for a protracted war.
Yonghua City.
In the small house where Team Leader Li was temporarily living.
After a whole day of recuperation, Li Bowen was actually able to stand on his own and perform simple walking!
The recovery is extremely fast!
With the supplement of medicine and food, his body is recovering at an inhuman speed.
He clenched his hands, and the increasingly stronger power inside was also telling him that this was not his illusion.
"I estimate that in another day or two, I will be able to recover to 70% or 80% of my previous state!"
At this time, the faster the recovery ability, the more it means that the safety of the two can be increased, which is extremely good.
In the evening, Yao Lei drove back in a car and told him the whole story of what happened today!
A group of people highly suspected of attacking Airship No. 1 earlier were inquiring about whether there had been any flying objects or special people passing by recently.
As soon as Li Bowen heard this, he almost immediately determined that this group of people must be looking for himself and Yao Lei!
It was this group of people from Fuhai City who attacked him and the airship!
If there is a chance in the future, these people must pay the price!
It's just.
Now we must hide first.
"Captain, let's leave tomorrow morning at dawn. We have a car now, and we should be heading in the direction of the base unless there are accidents, right?"
In the room, Yao Lei had just finished eating a bowl of cooked noodles. After wiping her mouth, she asked Team Leader Li.
"Let's go in that direction!"
As soon as he heard Yao Lei's words, Li Bowen said his already decided idea and pointed in a certain direction.
That is the direction of home.
Which is the way back to base.
When the attack happened there, the airship was flying in that direction.
Other team members who were chased may also be in this direction.
Going that way, we can go home while also seeing if we can meet any team members who may have also been stranded.
Yao Lei nodded.
Indeed, going here is the most suitable.
Tomorrow, the captain will recover better, and then the two of them can embark on the road home!
The next day.
Before dawn, after confirming that the zombies outside had begun to return to the buildings, Yao Lei took Li Bowen, who could already walk on his own, and got into the prepared car.
It started with a roar, leaving Yonghua City, the city where they had previously crashed, with a cloud of dust.
No one knows what awaits them.
