"There are so many new faces. It seems that the rescue team is growing quickly... Where is Randy?"

The special team was divided into three groups during training and execution of tasks, and were scored separately. Jiao San and Randy each led a group, and they must have chosen who by force. As a result, except for Pan Wenxiang, all the members of Hong Tao's group were female. If it weren't for Zhong

Wei is really good at fighting. I'm afraid Hong Tao will have to become a women's army here.

"You brought that stupid thing out in the car behind. Can he be relied on?" Just now Zhou Yuan said there was someone in the car she didn't want to see, and Hong Tao knew that Wang Jian was here.

In fact, I didn't have much ill will towards that child. It wasn't his fault that we couldn't get together. Among the five prisoners of the wolf team, he was actually the strongest in terms of ability.

"...Young people always like fantasy and passion. You have shattered other people's fantasies and killed their passion. If it were you, I would hate you to the core. Go to the intersection ahead and head north!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and didn't say much about Wang Jian. In the blink of an eye, more than ten kilometers had passed. The convoy followed her navigation and turned off the main road, passing by two densely populated towns and entering the city just now.

A bit green mountainous area.

The drizzle was still falling, and the mountain road was not muddy, but there was still a layer of moist soil brought up by the wheels, which adhered to the tread and fell off as it vibrated, forming two very clear ruts.

"Stop!" Suddenly Hong Tao issued a new command and stepped on the brakes decisively.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan was talking about the two planes she found at Xishan Airport, one large and one small, with Omega and Roland C navigation equipment on them.

I was a little confused by the sudden interruption, and then I looked to both sides warily, but there was nothing. At this time, the leaves had not really grown up, they had just sprouted, and the low shrubs and thorns could not hide anyone at all.

"Shh... click..." Just as he stopped, Hong Tao had already opened the cab door and stuck his head out to listen. As if he still thought the noise was too loud, he simply turned the key and turned off the engine.

"Where else does this mountain road lead to besides the station?" Even if there are no lush trees and grass in spring, the atmosphere in the mountains is much fresher than in the city, but Hong Tao's face does not show any expression of enjoyment and is very solemn.

"There should be only one fork in the road leading to the village in the mountain col, but I haven't walked through it, so I don't know exactly where it is. After passing the iron tower, turn right and walk about a kilometer to see the gate of the station..." Zhou Yuan was also impressed by Hong Tao.

His expression was infected, and he stuck his head out to listen while answering, but to no avail.

"All vehicles obey my order and make a half-turn... Once completed, stand by, immediately!" Hong Tao closed the door and restarted the car, but no longer moved forward, but reversed on the mountain road, then moved up diagonally, a few times

The wheels were placed across the road, and commands were issued to other vehicles at the same time.

The military order came down like a mountain, and all the vehicles on the mountain road became busy for a while. The ammunition relied on the six-wheel drive to roll over the thorn bushes and onto the hillside on the right. It barely succeeded, but the oil tanker couldn't do it no matter how hard it tried, because the load capacity was a bit large.

"Car No. 4 backed down the mountain and stood by. Don't turn off the engine and be careful!" Fortunately, not far up the mountain road, Hong Tao simply ordered the tanker truck to retreat to the hardened road.

"Hey, I asked what happened in front of me. I was shocked. Why don't you get out of the way and I'll clear the way!" Only the armored vehicle of the Survival Alliance remained still and raised questions.

"Lao Liang, execute Captain Hong's order immediately after hearing it. Everyone be alert, we may be in trouble!" Zhou Yuan didn't waste even half a second, and immediately repeated Hong Tao's order and handed over the command.

"What's going on?" But she didn't know what happened, so she looked at Hong Tao in confusion.

"Do you know those birds?" Hong Tao pointed at the northern sky through the windshield.

"Eagle?" Without Hong Tao's prompting, Zhou Yuan would not have noticed that there were some birds flying in the distant sky. Their flying posture looked a bit like soaring eagles, but their wings flapped more often and their wingspans were not quite as wide.

.

"That's a crow..." Hong Tao took off the binoculars from his lap and handed them over.

"Oh, just tell me, what does crows have to do with us!" Zhou Yuan didn't answer. Whether it was eagles or crows, there were already many birds in the mountains, but after the disaster, there were even more.

In winter, there are often large flocks of crows flying over the city, and they even make their homes in high-rise buildings that have lost all human fireworks. What is there to make a fuss about?

"Crows leave their nests at dawn to look for food, and return to their nests in the evening to rest. What do you mean by saying that such a large group of crows fly in circles over an area in broad daylight without either searching for food or landing to rest?"

Hong Tao took the telescope back and put it on his eyes. Starting from the mountain col on the left, he made a 180-degree fan scan and explained while looking. Unfortunately, there were no answers, only questions.

"...Could something happen in the station? That should be the location of the station!"

Zhou Yuan bit her lower lip and thought about it for a few seconds, without asking any more questions. She chose to trust Hong Tao's judgment, but she felt a little anxious. After traveling such a long distance, if someone else gets the station first, even if Hong Tao doesn't complain,

Not only did he not repay the debt, but he owed more and more.

"Attention everyone, load the bullet and keep your finger away from the trigger... Xiao Pan, launch the drone... fly high and don't let the ground hear the sound."

Hong Tao ignored the woman and continued to scan with his binoculars. He had completed a distant view, and now he lowered his perspective and carefully inspected both sides of the mountain road. At the same time, he was not idle and issued two more orders.

"Come on, get out of the car..." Before Pan Wenxiang assembled the drone, Hong Tao suddenly put down the telescope, opened the car door, and waved to Zhou Yuan.

"Look what this is..." The two people walked to the roadside one after another. Hong Tao squatted down and put on his gloves, pushed aside the thorny thorns, and pointed to the soil below that had not been completely wet by the drizzle.

"...feet, footprints...so many!" Zhou Yuan heard the sound and bent down, looked in through the gap, and immediately exclaimed.

If it hadn't rained, it wouldn't be very clear on the dry soil, but after it was partially wetted by the rain, the marks and outlines would be as clear as if they had been soaked in developer. Some of them had the patterns of shoe soles, and some were simply barefoot.

They were human footprints, so many that they were countless, and the toes were pointing upward along the mountain road. This reminded her of the station, and she turned to look up the mountain. Unfortunately, the station could not be seen from here.

, the view was blocked by the hill with the iron tower standing in front of it.

"And these... they should be fragments of clothes... they are definitely not human beings. No one can walk in the thorn bushes! Does any of you know when this rain started?"

Hong Tao did not raise his head, but tried to squeeze through the thorns, broke off a branch, picked up a piece of dark textile from a distance, looked at the sun, and threw it away.

"Report, Pei Jinxi and I were on the 4th shift last night. It should have rained around 4:30 in the morning!" Soon Bao Lide's rich and slightly accented reply came from the channel.

"There is no soil on the footprints. They must have gone up the mountain before it rained or just after it rained...Shh... Listen together, do you hear anything?"

Hong Tao touched his chin thoughtfully, then ran to the other side of the mountain road and dug through the thorn bushes to take a look. There were the same marks underneath. Just as he was about to return to the car, he suddenly stopped again and asked softly on the channel.

"...It seemed like they were banging an iron bucket...The sound was too low to hear clearly." In an instant, heads poked out of the windows of all the cars, but no one heard it. Only Zhou Yuan seemed to have gained something, but was still very unsure.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the sound of a heavy machine gun... The bad news is that the station may be besieged by zombies, but the good news is that the resistance is still continuing!" The person who just asked Hong Tao to give the order to stop was not the group of people hovering on the mountainside.

Crow, but this kind of rhythmic low sound.

It may be that the frequency response range of human ears is different, or it may be that the mountain wind happened to blow by at that time. Anyway, I heard it very clearly, dong dong dong… dong dong dong… the standard burst rhythm, which was the same as that of the fat man in Canada.
Chapter completed!
