He put down his backpack and placed the mace horizontally underneath the bag, creating a small space so that no one could touch him.
But fortunately, the space Xiao Yi occupied was not very large, so no one said anything when they saw it. After all, everyone brought a backpack and placed it at their side.
In fact, Xiao Yi had put an ice pack inside his clothes to cool down. If someone's skin touched his clothes, they would always feel a little cold. In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Yi avoided contact with others.
But Su Yu followed Xiao Yi and came over, sitting down next to Xiao Yi across from her backpack.
Then, the other members of Group 2 came over.
When going out on missions, it is very common for groups to stick together. Even when Huang Xiongwei led a company, he could clearly see the closeness and distance between each class from his seat.
After everyone got on the bus, Xiao Yi only heard the faint sound of the intercom coming from the cab in front, and the vehicle slowly started. Xiao Yi also slowly closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After about an hour of driving, a man sitting in the middle of the car half stood up and said, "Now, let me introduce the details of the mission to everyone."
This sentence not only stopped all the whispering people from discussing, but also made everyone a little excited.
The man pulled out a map and said, "A 30-person reconnaissance team, including professors, experts, and security personnel, set out from First Base a month and a half ago in search of a suitable water source. Unfortunately, they lost contact with us seven days ago. Our mission now is to rush to the location where their signal was last heard, locate or rescue the research team, and retrieve the top-secret information."
"Next, everyone needs to circulate and memorize this map in my hand. This concerns everyone's life safety."
After saying that, he handed the map in his hand to the person closest to him and began to pass it around.
A few minutes passed before it was circulated to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi remained calm, unfolded the entire map, held it high up and examined it carefully, as if he couldn't see it clearly. In fact, he was secretly taking pictures of the thing with a miniature camera hidden in his collar.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, right?
Then pass it on to the next person.
Many people couldn't help but sneer at Xiao Yi's appearance, and even began to laugh secretly.
"Is he the one from the special operations team?"
"Yes, airborne?"
"Oh my, what kind of era is this? Are there still second-generation rich people coming here to gild themselves?"
"I don't know, what if he's really that powerful?"
"Really? I don't know from your tone whether you are praising him or not?"
················
There was constant laughter and discussion, but Xiao Yi acted as if he couldn't hear anything.
Su Yu sat aside, looking at Xiao Yi with a little worry. The other members of Group 2 couldn't help but show mockery on their faces, but because they were members of the same group and their superiors had told them not to show it, they didn't speak out to support him directly.
The platoon leader, who had stood up to issue the order, saw the noise was getting louder and coughed lightly, "Ahem." The chatter and sneers finally stopped.
Then, when all the maps had been circulated, he said seriously, "The above is all we know so far. Does anyone have any other questions?"
After everyone pondered for a while, someone asked, "What is the reason for their disappearance?"
"have no idea".
"Do they have any distress message instructions?"
"No"
····················
The answers to the following questions were almost all negative, which means that apart from what the platoon leader had just said, they could not get any useful information.
Having this question-and-answer session is just to make everyone less nervous about the task.
Xiao Yi ignored the noise of the crowd, holding the rifle, leaning back and closing his eyes to rest.
The gray-white protective suit was not very new, and even the trouser legs were a little dirty.
The loose clothes completely wrapped up Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi also lowered the mask on his hat, making it impossible for anyone to see his expression.
The car was shaking, and the heat inside was increasing instead of decreasing. Although everyone had adapted to the high temperature and had taken heatstroke medication, they still looked drowsy and sweaty.
Only Xiao Yi, under the cover of the loose sun protection clothing and the hat and mask, secretly put an ice cube into his mouth from time to time to cool down and relieve the heat.
The carriage returned to silence, and many people even began to snore. Xiao Yi, who had just been "sleeping" soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the people resting in the carriage.
These people this time feel very different from the ones Zhou Tianqi brought before.
Although the two platoons Zhou Tianqi led at the time were also fully armed, they always gave people a sense of strangeness, "keep away from strangers." They were more like obedient "employees" or "machines." Even like a group of emotionless "combatants."
But the people in Huang Xiongwei's company today were different. Although they mocked and ridiculed Xiao Yi, some of them were more "human".
Yes, it is the "human touch" that many people have lost after the end of the world.
After confirming that no one was staring at him, Xiao Yi closed his eyes again.
The group walked for three days and three nights!!!
During these three days and three nights, there was only a 10-minute rest every 8 hours. After getting off the bus to take care of the toilet, everyone got back on the bus and started on their journey.
