Hearing that Qiao Xuejun had voluntarily given up the opportunity to be rescued first, everyone suddenly looked up at her.
A survivor whose family member was injured shouted, “We need help too!”
Qiao Xuejun looked up at him with a warning, then lowered her head and continued to report to Zhao Xian: "Lord, what instructions do you have now?"
Zhao Xian's voice was also heard: "Stay there and don't move. I'll go up the mountain first. Wait for me."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay."
Zhao Xian obviously knew the situation was urgent, and the communication was quickly cut off. Qiao Xuejun raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "What, do you have any opinions?"
She held a walkie-talkie in one hand and a pistol in the other.
The survivor helped his injured relative to sleep on the bed, then looked up and made eye contact with Qiao Xuejun: "Why do you say we don't need rescue? We need it right now! Look at those monsters outside, they are crashing into the house like this, aren't you afraid that the house will fall apart in the next second?"
This is certainly nothing to worry about.
Qiao Xuejun clenched his gun and glanced at him: "If you want help, you can go out and look for it now."
Of course she knew they needed rescue, but the soldiers were more urgent now. She was not Zhao Xian, and she could not care so much about other people's survival. She only cared about what she cared about.
"What qualifications do you have to kick me out? You are not the leader of the First Base. What qualifications do you have to decide whether we should be rescued? Shouldn't we ourselves..."
"Come on." When the survivor wanted to continue arguing with Qiao Xuejun, another big sister holding a shotgun stopped him and said, "You are not from the First Base either. Wouldn't you be happy to collect resources and monopolize them as a retail investor? Now you want the First Base to save you first? Don't be so shameless."
The survivors who were armed with guns also agreed with Qiao Xuejun's statement. This made the injured person's family member's face change and he was speechless.
The eldest sister continued, "In my opinion, we retail investors don't contribute much to the First Base. It's good enough that they can come to rescue us. Why are you picking on speed?"
Even this patrol booth was built by the First Base. They would have a hard time surviving without it.
Qiao Xuejun lowered her eyes and looked at the patient on the bed: "Lie quietly, Zhao Xian will come, he won't die."
Huo Antu said: "Yes, we are temporarily safe now. It is a wise decision to send the main force to support the soldiers on the top of the mountain first. If we don't deal with the danger on the top of the mountain first, all our resources on the top of the mountain will be destroyed by those monsters."
In the survivors' houses on the mountain, almost all their survival resources are stored. If they are destroyed, all the efforts of these days will be ruined. Including his research institute, which cannot be destroyed.
Thinking of what he had just heard Qiao Xuejun emphasize the research institute when reporting the situation to Zhao Xian, Huo Antu looked at Qiao Xuejun with admiration in his eyes: "This teacher made the right choice. We can wait a while."
He has the ability to lead everyone to escape, has a good sense of the overall situation, and knows how to respect the research institute.
Huo Antu also changed his opinion of Zhao Xian. It seemed that Zhao Xian was not entirely a partial person. Not all the experts under his command were like that woman. What was her name, Qiao Xuejun? She only held Xingtang back in the Beast Tide. She had no respect for science and technology at all and insisted on competing with his research institute. She was simply out of her mind.
The survivors who originally had objections completely gave up. Huo Antu was right. Compared to rescuing them who were now safe, it was more meaningful to rescue their survival resources trapped in the beast tide.
Everyone started to stop the bleeding, bandage the wound, and then began to rest.
Huo Antu wanted to learn more about this expert teacher who seemed pretty good, so he looked at her and asked, "Teacher, what is your name? Are you from the expert team of the First Base?"
Qiao Xuejun looked up at him and realized that this man didn't seem to recognize her.
There was some sarcasm in her eyes: "My last name is Qiao."
Huo Antu nodded: "Expert Qiao. Nice to meet you. My last name is Huo, and my name is Huo Antu."
He thought that the teacher surnamed Qiao would know his name, but out of courtesy, he still introduced himself solemnly: "I live in the research institute on the mountain, and I work on the artificial synthesis of nutrients and genetic research."
Qiao Xuejun's eyes were subtle: "..."
I've already mentioned his last name, and this person still hasn't reacted?
She looked away: "Oh."
Huo Antu's face froze. He had taken the initiative to introduce himself in order to get a response from Expert Qiao. After a few interactions, they became acquainted, but the other party just said "Oh" and sent him away.
It doesn't matter. Huo Antu thought to himself, maybe the scene just now was too exhausting, so he couldn't handle things well now and didn't want to talk.
Huo Antu calmed down and thought, since he was under Zhao Xian's command, there would always be a chance for them to meet.
"Teacher Qiao, were you also a soldier in the First Base? Your gun is very steady!" asked the older sister holding the shotgun.
There were only her, Qiao Xuejun, and another survivor who had guns and forced their way through. Qiao Xuejun's accuracy was okay, about the same as their amateur hit rate, but she had great stamina and kept shooting, with an endless supply of bullets.
In addition to her physical support, equipment was also a problem.
Retail investors like them don't have that many bullets, so they have to use them sparingly. Their guns are not sophisticated enough, and the recoil is too strong, so their hands shake after just a few shots. It's impossible for them to shoot all the way to the end like Qiao Xuejun did.
The firepower is sufficient, which is enviable.
The eldest sister said: "I am so jealous. I even want to go to the First Base."
After hearing this, Qiao Xuejun raised the corner of her mouth and responded, "Sister, you are a good shooter, so you will definitely be welcomed by the First Base. Just go, the base provides food and accommodation, so it is worth staying here. I was also recruited by the base, not a soldier from the original base. You see, I was treated well after I went there, and all these equipment were provided to me by the First Base."
When the eldest sister heard this, her eyes lit up and she was obviously a little moved. She smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely consider it carefully."
Huo Antu looked at Qiao Xuejun again and frowned. She seemed to be able to talk nicely, but why did she treat him like this? Was she really treating him differently, just targeting him?
But it's impossible.
Not to mention the aura of a researcher, even at the most superficial level, he is a handsome and elegant man, and it is impossible for anyone to have a bad impression of him the first time they meet him.
It was probably because the older sister was a woman that she subconsciously became closer to him, and it couldn't be directed at him. He didn't do anything, and there was no reason.
Everyone was staying in the patrol booth. It was already dark when Group 3 came here for patrol. Now that they were delayed for a while, it was even darker.
There was a constant howling of wild beasts outside the house; they were unwilling to leave and kept trying to break in.
The survivors in the house cursed: "These beasts! Sooner or later, they will all be wiped out."
Huo Antu said solemnly: "That day will come."
Qiao Xuejun almost asked out loud: When will that day come? The day when ordinary people are used for human experiments in order to achieve a so-called breakthrough in genes?
Huo Antu suddenly felt the strange gaze around him. He turned around and saw Qiao Xuejun staring at him straight, with a scrutinizing look and a bit of...disdain?
What happened again?
