#80 - Chapter 80 Mother
In the sky.
A helicopter was flying towards Guangyuan City.
The process of picking up Gao Qiang was uneventful.
Sun Xiaohu received Gao Qiang's signal from the walkie-talkie (high-power model, with a working range of over 10 kilometers), and directly shook off the attracted zombies from a distance.
He returned to the place where he got off the plane before, and picked up Gao Qiang.
They are now flying back to the base to refuel.
Seeing that only Gao Qiang came back alone, Sun Xiaohu had already guessed the general result.
He hesitated in front, wondering how to comfort Gao Qiang.
Seeing his appearance, Gao Qiang roughly guessed what he was thinking, so he said directly:
"Xiaohu, it's okay, my brother is still alive! I found a letter he left there, he ran to other places to hide, I believe we will meet again in the future!"
Hearing this, Sun Xiaohu didn't say anything more.
He continued to fly the plane back to the base.
The return journey was uneventful, and it only took more than an hour to return to the Green Source Base.
This is the convenience of the plane.
On a clearing on the edge of the Green Source Base, it has already been cleared out as a dedicated helicopter take-off and landing point.
Sun Xiaohu contacted the base below via walkie-talkie and landed smoothly under the command.
Qin Jin also rushed over after receiving the news.
This was the earliest flight out and the earliest to return.
So he came to see if any new members would join.
Seeing only Sun Xiaohu and Gao Qiang, he knew the result.
He didn't rush up to comfort Gao Qiang, he just directed the personnel to go up and replenish the helicopter with the prepared fuel.
With the mechanical pumping in, the refueling and ammunition replenishment only took about fifteen minutes, Sun Xiaohu briefly explained to the boss, and then ran back to the helicopter to start it.
The wind was blowing.
The helicopter took off again.
Under the gaze of the base personnel, it took Gao Qiang to another destination.
——————————————
Guanglin Province.
This is a province bordering Guangnan Province.
About 800 kilometers away from the Green Source Base, a medium-sized helicopter was flying in the high sky.
There were four people sitting in the plane.
They were the pilot Xia Yan, the applicant Dong Hui, and the team leaders Li Bowen and Liu Wenhao.
It was the Green Source Rescue Team and others who had been rushing to Dong Hui's hometown all the way from the base.
In view of Dong Hui's importance.
Originally, Qin Jin didn't want to let him out to look for relatives.
But he couldn't stand Dong Hui's strong request, worrying about not finding the place or not recognizing people.
He really had no choice but to let Dong Hui go with the plane. For this reason, he also arranged for two captain-level figures to follow, so that they could do their best to protect Engineer Dong's safety.
They have been out for more than three hours.
Flying nearly nine hundred kilometers.
Finally approached the destination of this trip.
A small and not very developed county.
It is said to be a county, but it is actually just a larger village.
Flying in the sky, Xia Yan looked down, the buildings were sparse and not dense, and various plants were planted in many places. Without knowing the exact location, it was really difficult to get down.
"Lean a little more towards that side, it's almost my home! A little further towards that side, there is a two-story white building, that's my home!"
Dong Hui squinted his eyes and looked for a while, seemed to recognize the road, pointed somewhere and told Xia Yan who was flying the plane.
After receiving the information, Xia Yan moved the joystick, and the helicopter flew obliquely towards that side.
"That's it! My home is that two-story white house!"
After Dong Hui saw a certain place, he suddenly shouted excitedly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, there was a two-story white house there, but it was far away and the actual situation could not be seen clearly.
Did not dare to fly directly to the target and stay there.
Xia Yan had participated in training.
He hovered the plane away from the target house, attracting the zombies that had come out after hearing the sound and gathered under the helicopter, while looking for a suitable landing point.
Soon, he found an open space about 1 kilometer away from here that was fairly flat and suitable for putting them down.
He first took the zombies below away from the house again, and then accelerated to get rid of the zombies.
Soon the helicopter arrived at the landing point.
Under the protection of the two captains, Dong Hui successfully landed on the ground, and then the three of them ran quickly towards the destination.
Xia Yan was still maneuvering the helicopter to fly in the opposite direction. He was responsible for responding at any time and attracting the surrounding zombies.
Reduce the pressure on those who are looking for relatives and friends below.
Li Bowen and Liu Wenhao guarded Dong Hui and ran quickly on the streets of the town.
It seemed that the movement of the helicopter just now had attracted all the zombies staying in the buildings, and now no one came out to disturb them.
It took them less than ten minutes to reach the distance of nearly one kilometer.
Standing in front of this white two-story building, Dong Hui couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
This was the new house that he had worked hard for many years after graduation, paid off his student loans, and then saved up money to send home for his parents to build.
His home used to be in the deeper mountains.
At this time, seeing that the house was still the same as in his memory, he relaxed his tense heart a little.
He was too afraid to come back here and see the appearance of fear in his heart.
The door of the house was locked, and there was nothing unusual around it.
Li Bowen didn't want to waste time. After confirming that this was Dong Hui's hometown and the destination of this trip, he stepped forward and walked to the front of the gate and knocked gently on the door.
Knock knock knock.
The soft knocking sound rang out, rippling in the surrounding quiet environment.
If there was anyone inside, they should be able to hear it.
Knocked continuously for ten or twenty seconds.
Still no response.
I don't know if there is anyone inside, and if there is, I don't know if they deliberately heard it and dared not respond.
But at least one thing is confirmed, that is, there is a high probability that there are no zombies inside, otherwise they should have come over when they heard the noise.
Li Bowen was slightly relieved, and then called Dong Hui, who had been waiting anxiously, to come up.
Dong Hui was already a little anxious when he saw that Li Bowen's knock on the door received no response. He was afraid that there was no one inside.
Because the previous key was left in the chemical plant dormitory, he couldn't open the door now.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, he walked to the door and shouted in a low voice inside:
"Dad! Mom! I'm Hui Zi! I'm back! Are you there? Open the door if you are!"
He called several times in a row.
This time it worked!
Perhaps they really heard the sound inside. An old voice rang out behind the door, seeming to be filled with surprise and sobs, and said:
"Hui Zi!? Are you really Hui Zi!?"
Without waiting for confirmation from outside, the person inside had already opened the door.
This was an old woman with white hair, a hunched body, and a face full of vicissitudes.
"Mom——!!!"
When Dong Hui saw the old woman, he could no longer bear the excitement in his heart. He trembled all over, his face flushed, he strode forward, hugged the old woman tightly.
And cried loudly.
He finally found his mother!
The two mothers hugged each other and cried. They had too much sadness and longing that erupted at this moment.
People who originally thought they would never see each other again, never thought that they could meet again in this life. It was really difficult to suppress the overflow of emotions.
Li Bowen and Liu Wenhao tactfully walked away, giving the two people space.
And carefully defended against possible enemies that might appear around.
After a while.
The mother and son who were hugging each other finally vented their thoughts and could speak.
Dong Hui wiped away his tears and snot with his sleeves, and then remembered to take out a tissue and wipe it for his mother as well.
After expressing his emotions, he asked his mother:
"Mom, I'm here to pick you up this time. I'm in a very safe place now. There is hope for humans to survive there. Come with me with Dad!"
"By the way, why didn't Dad come out? Is he still at home!?"
At this time, Dong Hui seemed to remember that his father had not appeared from just now until now.
A sense of unease appeared in his heart.
Hearing his words, the woman who had just stopped crying began to sob again in a low voice.
Dong Hui's heart trembled.
He continued to ask his mother in a trembling tone, hoping for a good answer.
"Mom! Where's Dad!?"
Woo woo woo——
The woman sobbed for a while before she recovered. Facing her son's question, she finally gave the answer that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
"Hui, your dad is gone!!"
Like a bolt from the blue.
Dong Hui only felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
His brain went blank for a few seconds before he seemed to come back to his senses, his face was pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat in this kind of weather.
Looking at his heartbroken mother, he grabbed her arm and hugged her again.
He knew that he couldn't collapse at this time, but should encourage and comfort his mother.
"Mom! It's okay, your son is back, I will protect you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one can hurt you!"
Feeling her son's warm and broad embrace, the old woman slowly recovered.
She was just a little too excited for a while because of the excitement of seeing her child again and recalling her husband who had been with her for many years. She was much better now.
"Hui, take me away, Mom doesn't want to stay here anymore!"
Hearing his mother's words, Dong Hui quickly said:
"Okay, okay, I'll take you away right away."
He hesitated for a moment, but still said what he wanted to ask in his heart:
"Mom, how did Dad die? Can we take away some of his things? We might not come back here after we leave, we'll leave after we're done."
The woman wiped her tears and looked at her son, revealing the secret in her heart.
"Your dad was dragged out and beaten to death!"
"A few days ago, the son of Old Zhang Tou in the village came to ask for food. Your dad told me to hide, and he went out to talk to them himself. I heard in the closet with my own ears that your dad didn't agree and was dragged out alive, his hands and feet were broken and he was beaten to death!"
"After he died and turned into a monster, he was beheaded by those people, he was miserable!"
As she spoke, the woman couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes again. God knows how collapsed she has been recently bearing these things alone.
After Dong Hui heard this.
His eyes were red and his gums were crushed.
A nameless fire was already burning his heart!
He wanted to kill!
