Li Yuan was carried into a small single tent. When he saw that the men with crew cuts were not around, he became even more certain that he was going to be burned to death. He was so scared that his face turned pale and tears flowed down his face like water.
He wanted to escape, but he didn't have any strength in his body and couldn't even get up. He could only lie on the ground with his eyes open in despair, waiting for the disaster to come.
After a while, footsteps were heard approaching outside the tent.
Li Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and even his breathing became rapid - here it comes!
The footsteps kept circling the tent. Suddenly, a pungent smell came from all directions of the tent, and the smell became stronger and stronger. It was alcohol!
Li Yuan's fear reached its peak when he smelled the alcohol—it's over! They've already started pouring fuel!
The next second, the tent curtain was lifted a little, and Li Yuan closed his eyes in despair, thinking that someone was going to throw fire in.
“Bang!”
The crisp sound of something landing on the ground made Li Yuan's heart skip a beat.
He gritted his teeth and waited for the burning of the fire and the scorching heat, but after a long time, he did not smell any burning smell in the air.
He opened his eyes slowly and nervously, only to find that the tent was pitch black and there was no sign of flame at all.
What's going on?
I was wondering when I heard someone talking outside the tent:
"Take six pills of this medicine at a time, three times a day. Just rest here and recuperate. Don't come out. Someone will bring you food."
The person outside left after saying that, leaving Li Yuan stunned for a long time.
Medicine? Food? Rest and recuperation?
Aren't they going to burn him?
Could it be that they would do what the village cadres did when he was a child, first pretending to lock him up for a while, and then find an opportunity to pretend to burn him to death by accident?
No, that's not right!
The shelter was already short of medicine. If they really wanted to burn him to death, why would they waste precious medicine on him?
After figuring this out, Li Yuan suddenly burst out with an amazing desire to survive. He tried to move his arms and slowly groped around him, and he actually touched a paper bag. It seemed that this was the one he had just thrown in!
He was pleasantly surprised and put his fingers in with trembling hands. The paper bag was divided into small paper envelopes. The round objects inside felt a little rough to the touch - they were actually medicine!
Li Yuan was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. He was stunned for a long time before suddenly bursting into tears.
......
In the communications tent.
Lu Zhan called Ma Jun and Liu Jincai to his front with a stern expression.
The situation in the shelter is not optimistic now. Food and medicine are in short supply. In addition, there are signs of an epidemic now. We must make multi-faceted preparations in advance to deal with possible problems.
"Ma Jun, follow Doctor Liu's instructions and immediately organize the women in the evacuation area to help sew masks. Make sure everyone has at least one."
"Then distribute medical alcohol to each soldier and ensure that they disinfect their respective areas after each roll call, especially the isolation tent area, which must be disinfected every hour."
Ma Jun is meticulous, so Lu Zhan feels more at ease handing this job over to him.
"Yes, Captain! But... if we continue to use it at this rate, the medical alcohol will be all gone in three days at most."
Lu Zhan looked at him steadily:
"Three days is enough. If rescue doesn't arrive after three days, no matter how much alcohol is left, it will be useless."
Ma Jun's heart trembled, and he understood what Lu Zhan meant. He nodded solemnly.
Lu Zhan turned to Liu Jincai and said:
"Choose three soldiers from the camp who have good physical fitness and strong combat skills. They will set out with you to Leigongyan at dawn tomorrow morning and search for traces of Shitou and the others along the way."
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
The efforts that the refuge area can make are limited, and the greatest hope is to successfully send out the radio signal to let the command center know the location of the refuge area. Only with the rescue of the command center can everyone in the refuge area have hope of survival.
According to the original plan, Shi Tou and the communications soldier should have returned to the shelter before dark, but the sudden thunderstorm near dusk brought many variables to the original plan. Now Lu Zhan is not sure whether Shi Tou and the others have successfully completed the mission.
In addition, the incident of wild beasts eating people that happened tonight made Lu Zhan even more worried about the safety of the two people spending the night in the wild, so he asked Liu Jincai to set out to look for them at dawn.
At this time, on the platform of the first boulder of Leigong Rock, the little soldier was crying and checking the body of the fallen stone.
In the darkness, he could only barely make out the position and outline of the stone by the moonlight, and could not see where he was injured.
Shitou breathed heavily, uttered a light laugh with difficulty, and comforted the little soldier:
"It's okay, I'm still alive!"
The little soldier wiped his tears with his sleeve, thinking of the scene he had just seen, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by a big hand.
A huge golden lightning bolt, like a giant snake, bared its sharp fangs and cut through the sky at lightning speed, striking straight towards the top of Leigong Rock.
In an instant, flames splashed everywhere, and the surface of the huge rock on the top was split by lightning. Countless pieces of stone splashed with dazzling light, falling rapidly like a fire meteor.
There were still dozens of meters of rocks away from the summit and he had no time to dodge. He didn't know how many times he was hit by the huge impact of the rubble.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, endured the severe pain all over his body, held the radio equipment in one hand, pulled the rope with the other, and slid down to the ground quickly before the boulder broke and the iron hook was unhooked.
When it was about seven or eight meters away from the ground, the surface of the boulder that the iron hook was stuck on completely shattered, and the stone, having lost its supporting force, fell from the air.
Fortunately, there was a protruding area two meters below him that caught him, allowing him to fall onto the protruding platform at the junction of the first and second boulders, and he did not fall directly to the ground from a height of seven or eight meters.
When the young soldier saw him falling, his heart was in his throat. He didn't care about the thunder and lightning in the night sky. He went straight out of the yellow mud cave, rushed to the foot of Leigong Rock and climbed onto the huge stone platform.
He crawled and cried, shouting the name of Platoon Leader Hao loudly, but the deafening thunder and heavy rain in his ears completely drowned out his voice. Even if he shouted at the top of his lungs, he could not hear any response.
Finally, he climbed onto the platform and saw the location of Platoon Leader Hao in the light of lightning.
He rushed over crying, fearing that Platoon Leader Hao had already died.
Fortunately, the next second, he heard a weak but smiling voice saying to him:
"Fortunately...it was sent out."
