For seventeen years in the apocalypse, the fields yielded no crops. Lin Man and her mother struggled daily on the brink of starvation and thirst, until one day, she obtained a space.
Lin Cheng put everything in order and opened a small bag made of special material around his waist. Inside, there were compartments filled with many jade plates of various shapes. This was the supernatural alarm.
The special-powered alarms are in pairs, divided into main and secondary. The captains now all carry many main alarms with them, and the paired secondary alarms are on the team leaders below. This thing plays a very important role when there are communication barriers, especially the real-time positioning function, which saves time to the greatest extent possible.
Lin Cheng took out the most beautiful, most regular, and disc-shaped one. This was the only auxiliary alarm in his hand, and the main alarm was in faraway China.
Lin Cheng gently stroked it, and then Guo Teng ran in excitedly and asked mysteriously, "Hey, is that true?"
Lin Cheng put away his things: "What's the matter?"
"Still pretending! Didn't you ask Zhang Changming to reveal it? Commander Lin really values you. He told you such important things when you were on a mission outside. How come no one informed me?" Guo Teng felt very uncomfortable saying this. Lin Cheng was the number one subordinate of Lin Zhongrong, and he was also his boss's right-hand man. Don't even think about revealing anything to him. After being out for so long, his status might even be relegated to the back.
Lin Cheng didn't explain, but suddenly asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah, but it didn't taste that good. I only drank half a cup."
Lin Cheng looked at him twice and vaguely felt something, but couldn't quite tell what it was.
Afterwards, he carried his luggage to the east side of the city, where their planes were parked. In addition to the original various types of aircraft, there were two medium-sized passenger planes and two transport planes that had just flown in from the country during the day. Signal lights were flashing on the fuselages, and with the help of a few not-so-bright lights around them, the outlines of these iron birds were barely visible.
At daybreak, they will return on these iron birds.
There were people on duty here tonight, from all four bases, but not many, just a dozen or so. They were chatting and gossiping in the leeward spot, and when they saw Lin Cheng, they were startled and quickly stood still. Lin Cheng didn't blame them. He put the things on the transport plane and asked, "Are you the only ones here?"
"Hehe, look, everyone is going out to drink." Seeing that Lin Cheng had no angry expression on his face, people became a little bolder. Many people were not afraid of their own team leader, but were afraid of this guy. They couldn't explain why. Maybe it was because he was really strict in managing the people, but when the team members needed him, he was particularly reliable.
Just as he finished speaking, a few people came back arm in arm, humming a song that was completely out of tune. Seeing Lin Cheng, he was almost scared to death. They left their post for such a short while and were caught? Their luck was too bad!
Lin Cheng smelled the alcohol on them but didn't say anything. He planned to get on the plane and sit for a while until dawn. After he returned, these people would no longer be his responsibility.
But he had just taken a few steps when he suddenly called out to the people who had just returned. He walked over with a frown, took out the flashlight he carried with him, and shone the beam of light into their faces.
These guys were from the Xihe base. At this moment, they were standing straight. When they were hit by the light, they were stunned and their calves were twitching because Lin Cheng's expression was too scary.
"Lin, Captain Lin?" someone shouted, and honestly made self-criticisms, saying that they shouldn't have left and shouldn't have joined in the fun. After saying a lot, Lin Cheng didn't stop for a word. His face became more and more stern. The flashlight shone on these people's faces and pupils. He even grabbed their fingers and looked at them. The blood in his body seemed to coagulate, and a chill rushed up from the soles of his feet.
Lin Cheng rarely feared anything, but at this moment he felt terrified. The biting wind in the middle of the night seemed to be able to pierce through his body.
The articulate guy stopped talking. The aura around Lin Cheng was frightening. He just ran away secretly to drink, so why did he act like he was going to kill someone?
Lin Cheng asked: "Where did you go just now?"
"Let's go to the square and have a drink."
"When did you go, where did you go, and what did you do?" Lin Cheng's voice was cold and hard.
"Just half an hour ago, we were discussing going there in batches and taking turns..." The man was very disloyal and revealed that there were several people who had not gone to drink. This was something they had discussed.
Lin Cheng went to look at the dozen or so people, and no, they were fine.
Lin Cheng turned off the flashlight, and before anyone could react, he waved his hand and released powerful energy. The people from Naxi and the base fell to the ground one after another without a sound and fainted.
The other dozen or so people looked at his actions in shock. Someone from Xihe Base rushed out to argue, but was stopped by three people from Tuanyuan Base.
Lin Cheng had no intention of explaining to them, and asked the three people from the Tuanyuan Base to tie up the unconscious people and put them on the plane.
Seeing that others had objections, Lin Cheng said directly: "Just stay here and don't do anything unnecessary. I will go to your team leader now. If there are any problems, your team leader will explain them to you later."
He said this and left very quickly.
He met several people along the way. Some were fine, while others were. The ones with problems all reeked of alcohol. Lin Cheng's heart sank. He happened to run into Guo Teng, who was very surprised. "Didn't you say you would stay on the plane until dawn? Why are you back? Why do you look so grim? What happened?"
Guo Teng's expression immediately became serious. In his impression, even when he was about to fight to the death with the Zombie King, Lin Cheng's expression had never been so bad.
Lin Cheng looked at Guo Teng. The whites of his eyes were completely white, unlike those people, which had some gray lines on them. However, he also had that aura that he had felt in the house before. It was the same aura as those people, but it was more hidden and ominous.
He took a deep breath: "Where are you going?"
"Me? I was going to continue to the square to watch the fun."
"Is it not over over there yet?" Lin Cheng nodded and suddenly pulled out the gun from Guo Teng's waist. Guo Teng was startled and thought he was going to shoot him, but Lin Cheng turned the gun and fired a shot into the sky.
Guo Teng was stunned for a moment: "Hey, what are you doing? Those are supernatural bullets, and I only have a few in the magazine!"
At the same time, everyone in the square heard the gunshot, which was the unique sound of supernatural bullets. The Chinese soldiers, who had been living with their heads held high for the past six months, all reflexively stopped what they were doing and stood up immediately, shocked and confused.
The captains of the three bases were all here and immediately took people to check the situation.
However, before they reached the place where the gunshots came from, they were called away halfway. It was in Lin Cheng's room. He had already cleaned up the room, leaving only lonely furniture.
They looked at the three captains who had been brought in, their gazes lingering on each of them for a moment, their hearts growing heavier.
"Lin Cheng, what's going on? Why did you call us here so urgently? Who fired the gun just now?"
Lin Cheng seemed to be considering something, his eyes so calm that they made people feel a little uneasy. Soon, as if he had figured something out, he gestured for them to be quiet, and then asked someone to guard outside. He said solemnly, "The zombie virus has appeared again."
