Chapter 42 Return
Ye Xuan asked again: "What about the person who is with you?"
According to Dong Jiahao, all the survivors of the school should have been rescued by the base.
Dong Jiahao shook his head and sighed: "The brother who rescued me died of an asthma attack a few days after he came here. There is no medicine for illness here. Once you get sick, you are not far from death."
Dong Jiahao's tone was very calm. He was already accustomed to things like death.
"But I will try my best to live on and see the world come back to life."
The world repeats its life, what a hopeful yet powerless statement.
Ye Xuan said nothing, but just smiled at Dong Jiahao.
When you are alive, you must always have hope to live.
Dong Jiahao did not stop at every fork in the road. He knew which road to take with just one glance.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask: "These mines are exactly the same, how did you recognize them?"
Dong Jiahao smiled and said, "In fact, there are signs at the forks, but the road is dark, so you may not have noticed it. I have walked the roads here many times, and I know exactly where each cave leads to."
"sharp."
Dong Jiahao shook his head shyly, "How can I compare to you? You are soldiers defending our country. I am nothing. I just want to make a living."
"Don't underestimate yourself. The operation of the base still depends on you. Thank you very much."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After several trips, all the ore was loaded onto the truck and it was time for them to leave.
Ye Xuan said goodbye to the handsome boy, "Come on, if you can, please keep hope and hold on."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Ye Xuan took off his gloves and extended his hand to Dong Jiahao.
Dong Jiahao looked at his hands and shook hands with Ye Xuan.
The boy's palms were rough, with calluses on his knuckles and fingertips. He must have suffered a lot here.
Dong Jiahao was the first to retract his hand and slowly retreated. Behind him was a pitch-black mine. After waving to Ye Xuan and the others, he completely disappeared into the darkness.
"Let's go."
Luo Feng got into the car before Ye Xuan.
The transport vehicle started and returned along the same route.
Leave the winding mine tunnel, leave the loading elevator, and leave the checkpoint with a heavy identification door.
"We will come again. Every one to two weeks, the base will send us to collect the ore."
Ye Xuan looked out the window, the desolate scenery receded in his eyes, and he suddenly regretted taking this task.
"Next time, let's have someone else come."
Luo Feng put his hands in front of his legs and said to Ye Xuan: "Life and death are normal. Ye Xuan, live rationally. There are many things we can't do perfectly."
Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the car.
This time we are in real trouble.
Ye Xuan became alert and immediately grasped the short blade.
Luo Feng was much calmer than Ye Xuan. He asked the transporter in the front row what was going on.
"The radar shows that there is a zombie approaching at a very fast speed. There is only one."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang of a heavy object falling.
The whole car body twisted uncontrollably and Ye Xuan hit the window next to him. Fortunately, his combat suit helped him offset some of the force.
He steadied himself and asked, "What's going on?"
This question seemed a bit redundant. He looked up and saw a zombie lying on the windshield, almost completely blocking the transporter's view.
The car body was unstable just now because of this zombie.
The transporter reacted quickly, turned the steering wheel back and forth, and tried to throw the zombie off.
But the zombie clung to the A-pillar like a piece of chewing gum stuck to the windshield and couldn't be shaken off no matter what.
Moreover, it continued to bang its head against the glass, and the blood kept gushing out.
The transporter could only give up the idea of throwing the zombies off and temporarily stabilize the car body through the gap.
"Captain Luo Feng, what should we do now?" The transporter's tone became noticeably nervous.
Luo Feng's expression under the helmet was not optimistic. This place was sparsely populated, and the sudden appearance of zombies meant that there were probably other zombies nearby. The purpose of their trip was to transport the ore back to the base, and once they stopped, they would probably be besieged by a large number of zombies.
The worst case scenario is to sacrifice the rook to save the pawn, which means their mission has failed.
Luo Feng immediately ordered: "Ye Xuan informs the two vehicles behind to be on guard and speed up the transportation process. Xiao Chen, keep driving, don't stop, I'll go down and deal with this zombie."
"Brother Feng, I'll go."
Before Luo Feng could react, Ye Xuan had already jumped out of the car and stood on the roof. The car was going very fast, so he had no choice but to half-crouch down.
Luo Feng notified the team members in the two cars behind him to focus their attention on the zombies in front.
He heard the sound on the roof and knew that Ye Xuan was on the roof at the moment.
As a user of space-related abilities, Ye Xuan can now perform better than him and can instantly flash back to the car when encountering an unexpected situation.
But since it concerns the safety of the team members and the mission, Luo Feng dare not be careless. He stares at the front and will take action immediately if anything goes wrong.
The zombie on the windshield stopped hitting the car and looked at the roof. It saw Ye Xuan and made a move to climb onto the roof.
While climbing, one of the zombie's hands instantly left the A-pillar.
At this moment, Ye Xuan leaped forward and kicked the zombie onto the hood of the car. He swung his hand back, intending to directly cut off the zombie's nerve connection, but he didn't expect that the zombie was so fast that it jumped to the side and avoided his attack.
Damn it, Ye Xuan cursed in his heart.
Luo Feng stared ahead expressionlessly, and no one saw his clenched fists.
The zombie had no support, and the transporter took the opportunity to turn the steering wheel sharply to the right.
The zombies flew out, and Ye Xuan flew out too, but Ye Xuan reacted in time and flashed to the roof of the car.
Unfortunately, the zombie was not completely thrown away. It grabbed the left A-pillar of the transport vehicle with its left hand, and its whole body floated in the air, constantly hitting the car window. Its right hand scratched the window, making a sharp and piercing noise.
This won't work. We can't keep fighting this zombie any longer.
Ye Xuan made a bold decision.
He jumped directly off the roof of the car.
Luo Feng, who was sitting in the car, couldn't sit still anymore. He turned the door handle and tried to open the door, but found that the door couldn't be opened at all.
"Xiao Chen, you."
"I'm sorry, Captain Luo Feng, I have to ensure the safety of the ore."
Luo Feng suppressed his anger and looked out the window, only to find that the zombies were gone, and Ye Xuan had also disappeared.
His tone was chilling as he said to the transporter, "As the team leader, I order you to stop the vehicle immediately. I must check on the condition of my team members immediately."
Someone next to him poked him, Luo Feng turned around and saw that it was Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs up beside his face, "Brother Feng, the crisis is over."
Luo Feng pinched Ye Xuan's shoulders and checked them up and down and left and right. Finding no injuries, he hit Ye Xuan's shoulders hard.
"You little brat, are you trying to scare me to death? Tell me what's going on."
Ye Xuan covered his shoulders and reviewed with Luo Feng what had just happened.
He jumped off the roof of the car and cut off the zombie's arm as he passed by it. The zombie fell to the ground, and just when he was about to fall to the ground, he flashed to the roof of the car and looked back, and saw that the zombie was just being hit and exploded by the car behind.
