Several people entered an empty building, found a room after checking, spread the life-saving blanket on the ground, and sat down on it. Zhao Yun took out his folding stove again. The blue oil fuel from last time was not used up, so he lit the fire directly.
A kettle of water boiled on the fire.
Zhao Xian took out the intercom and said, "Call Shan Falcon."
A reply came quickly from the other end: "Shan Falcon received, Captain, please give instructions."
Zhao Xian: "Report the mission status."
"Captain, I have led the second team to the mission location and have communicated with Mr. Zhang. We are investigating nearby households. We have found five households with a total of 87 people."
Qiao Xuejun pricked up her ears and could hear the background voice of the loud speaker shouting: "…First Base Recruiting! Food and accommodation are provided, the base has sufficient food and artillery!"
Zhao Xian: "One group will stay at the market, you guys should coordinate with the progress."
Zhao Xian left people in the market yesterday to prevent any survivors from going there to trade and to intercept them directly.
Shan Falcon: “Understood!”
The background voice from the loudspeaker over there continued: "——Recruiting, recruiting, those who are interested can go to the financial center building to sign up! We will accept as many as you come! We will return to the base in 3 days, so hurry up if you want to come!"
Zhao Xian confirmed the situation with Shan Shun for a while before hanging up the phone.
"for you."
He had just put away the walkie-talkie when suddenly, a hand reached out to him.
In the palm of that hand was a piece of compressed biscuit that had been baked until it oozed grease.
Zhao Xian paused and looked at the owner of the hand. The other person gave him a warm smile: "It's done."
Is this, being taken care of?
Zhao Xian's Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't take his eyes off the smile.
Only when Qiao Xuejun forced the things on him did he come back to his senses: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao."
He took a bite and found that this cookie was different from the previous ones. He tasted it and said, "It tastes better after it's been baked."
Zhao Yun also ate the roasted ones: "Really? I just think it's a little softer and easier to chew."
Ren Wangwang laughed at the side and said, "How can yours compare to the captain's? The captain's was specially baked by Teacher Qiao."
Zhao Yun immediately said, "Teacher Qiao, bake me a piece too."
Qiao Xuejun picked up another piece and started to roast it: "Okay."
Zhao Xian pressed her down and looked at Zhao Yun: "Don't you have arms?"
Qiao Xuejun: "What's the big deal? It's more comfortable to eat after it's heated up."
Zhao Xian sneered: "Don't pay attention to him. They are just joking."
Zhao Yun: "Yes, I was just kidding. I just wanted to try it out... is it really different?" Mainly because his brother was so genuine and expressed his feelings naturally, and it didn't seem like he was trying to curry favor with Teacher Qiao. It made him curious.
Zhao Xian: "Of course it's different. Teacher Qiao made it specifically for me. It's completely..."
Zhao Xian was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly changed: "Someone is approaching, be alert!"
In an instant, the positions of several people changed completely. Zhao Xian pulled Qiao Xuejun and pushed her behind the load-bearing pillar of the room.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
It came in from the door and exploded in the room, right where Qiao Xuejun was originally sitting, and the shell fell not far from her backpack.
Qiao Xuejun hid behind a load-bearing column and took out a pistol.
This room was specially chosen. It has no windows and only one door. If you want to attack from outside, you have to come through the door.
The load-bearing column is the only shelter, and Qiao Xuejun is absolutely safe hiding here.
Several members of the patrol team were in combat posture, standing by the door with guns in hand to prevent anyone outside from suddenly attacking.
After firing a shot, the man shouted, "If you don't want to die, leave your stuff behind! I have a gun, you can't beat me!"
Ren Wangwang held the gun and shouted, "Come out! You are on duty at the First Base. If you surrender your gun, you will not be killed. All past mistakes will be forgiven! There is a chance to enter the base!"
"Bang!"
The man outside showed his head again and fired another shot.
But this time Zhao Xian did not give him a chance to back down and directly fought back.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of someone falling outside immediately.
However, the shot fired by the man outside was like a blind shot and did not hit anyone, but hit the small stove.
"Boom!" There was still some blue oil inside, which immediately exploded, and the flames shot up three feet high.
Oh no, their backpacks are still next to the stove... Especially Zhao Xian's bag, which contains 50 kilograms of seeds, including all the forage grass, rapeseed, and some fruit and vegetable seeds.
Seeing the flames about to rise, Qiao Xuejun ran out without a second thought, quickly grabbed the strap of Zhao Xian's backpack, and rushed back behind the load-bearing column.
The flame was ignited, and several people at the door turned around at the same time.
Zhao Xian also finished firing a shot and turned around to see Qiao Xuejun rushing out. What was she going to do? Was she going to save the backpack?
Being so close to the flames, and not knowing if there was another person outside aiming at the house! He was terrified, his heart tightened, and he immediately took out a short knife from his bag and threw it at the stove.
The stove was too far away and ended up in the corner.
The blue oil still burning inside flowed out and landed on the ground. After all, it was only a fingernail-sized amount of blue oil, which had already burned for a while in the morning, so there wasn't much left at this time, and the explosion had shrunk after a while.
Qiao Xuejun had already hidden behind the load-bearing pillar.
She had completed the set of movements before she even reacted.
The whole process went smoothly. She squatted down against the pillar and hugged the backpack she had dragged over.
After a while, Zhao Xian's voice rang out: "You guys stay here, I'll go out and check the situation."
Qiao Xuejun poked her head out from behind the pillar: "Be careful."
