Chapter 119—Are you coming?
Chapter 119—Are you coming?
Duan Yunhong only said two sentences and hung up the phone before Ning Fei could come back to ask more questions.
Ning Fei stared at the page that showed ending the call in confusion, frowning and squinting. Just as he was about to say something unhappy, his phone prompted that he had received a new message.
When I clicked on it, it was the message that Duan Yunhong had just sent: [It is not convenient to speak now. 】
The information page also indicated that Duan Yunhong had posted several messages before, but Ning Fei was sleeping at the time and did not read any of them. Now click in and read from the first post, Ning Fei finally understood what was wrong with this guy.
[We accidentally encountered a new mutant species on the road. They should be some kind of monkey mutation. They move quickly and in groups. Adult males can stand more than 2 meters tall and are very strong. Females will call their companions to act together. Nocturnal, with poor vision, but very keen sense of smell and hearing. 】
【（Video of mutant activity）】
[It's difficult for me to deal with all of them at once with my weapons, and rash actions will easily anger these mutants. 】
[The nearby base responded to my call for help, but the team that came was rather weak. They retreated after losing half of their men in battle. These people's combat quality and firepower are not as good as mine. 】
[They are trying to reorganize their forces to eliminate these mutants, but the base is very small and the overall combat force is not strong. It would definitely take longer for them to request assistance from a large base. If I wasn't a space expert and didn't have sufficient supplies, I would have died long ago. 】
[However, my supplies can last for ten days or half a month, but this house may be in trouble. Do you have time to bring someone along? 】
This message was followed by an address location information, and then Duan Yunhong’s latest message which was not convenient to be heard.
To be honest, just looking at this information, the tone is calm and straightforward, and he even takes every opportunity to praise (himself) and belittle (others). Ning Fei really couldn't tell that this guy was so anxious that he would call for help in the middle of the night.
However, he only dared to say two sentences on the phone before hanging up. Considering that I mentioned earlier that mutants have good hearing, I'm afraid those things have surrounded him. As a result, he didn't even dare to say much, for fear that the mutant would accurately locate him.
Then again, the fact that Duan Yunhong called for help in the middle of the night was enough to tell how urgent the matter was.
Ning Fei sent him a message asking: [Where are you hiding? 】
Duan Yunhong: [In a village, everyone has left. There is water but no electricity. I chose a new house that looked relatively sturdy. All the doors and windows were reinforced with materials I brought with me. I am now in the room on the right hand side of the 3rd floor. The room doors have also been reinforced individually. 】
Duan Yunhong: [The mutant has discovered that there are people in this house. It tried to come in through the front door two days ago and also climbed up the water pipe to try to break in through the window of another room, but failed. After the rescue team arrived, they were attracted and left. But I was sure that they had sentries monitoring me, so I couldn't take the opportunity to leave. After the rescue team left, they came back to surround the house tonight. From the sounds they are attacking the main door downstairs. Not sure how long that door can hold out. 】
Ning Fei: [You hid so well, where did you get the video? Did you trick me into going there and frame me? 】
Duan Yunhong: [The rescue team took this photo and the contact person at their base sent it to me. It means that it’s not that they don’t want to rescue them, but this group of mutants is too difficult to deal with. 】
Ning Fei: [Why don’t you run during the day? 】
Duan Yunhong: [They are not completely inactive, they are just not that active. And they should be resting in the village these days. 】
Ning Fei thought to herself that this was really bad luck, and sneered immorally: "I have no obligation to save you. You made an error in judgement, and this is what happened to you. If you die, you lose. 】
Duan Yunhong: [I won’t let you work in vain. 】
Ning Fei: [Points are useless to me. 】
Duan Yunhong: [I know. According to your conversion, 500,000 luck points. 】
Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly.
But he reacted quickly and replied immediately: [This bet is only worth 500,000? Then I choose to let you lose. 】
Duan Yunhong: [800,000. You can ask me for confidential information three times in the future. 】
Ning Fei: [From your description, it seems like it won’t be enough for me to go alone. If I call on Tianyue's team, I need Yu Zhou's approval. 】
This may sound materialistic, but it is actually good news for Duan Yunhong. Being able to bargain means that Ning Fei is not determined to make him lose now. The person can be saved, but I don’t want to suffer a loss. I don’t want to look back on it in the future and think, “It would have been better if he had died at that time.”
So Duan Yunhong replied: [I will give you a total of 1 million luck, how you divide it is up to you. If Tianyue comes here to carry out a mission, I will give you reward points. Everything else remains unchanged. 】
Ning Fei: [Director Duan, I don’t have a car to go. 】
Duan Yunhong: [Why don’t you just take a three-story villa and top-of-the-line appliances from me? 】
Ning Fei glanced at the message, didn't reply to him, and got up to drink water. Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so it doesn’t matter. Let the other party wait.
When he came back after drinking the water, Duan Yunhong really sent another message: [If I go back to Huichuan, I will ask someone to get you a car like mine. 】
Ning Fei smiled silently, typing quickly: [Do I still need to protect you back to Huichuan? You are dreaming. 】
Duan Yunhong: [Just deal with these mutants this time. But the car will have to wait until I get back. 】
Ning Fei finally agreed: [Even if I accept this job, I have to wait for a day and a night because of the number of people I have to recruit and the distance I have to travel. Even if I drive all the way there, I will have to wait for a day and a night. Are you sure you can hold on until then? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Otherwise? If I'm not waiting for you, I'm waiting for someone else. If I can't get rescued, I'll probably die. 】
Ning Fei: [Okay, then you just try to stay alive first. Give me all the points first, otherwise I don’t want to take the risk of calling Yu Zhou in the middle of the night. 】
If he could only ask for luck in person, Ning Fei would definitely have to take away 500,000 luck first.
A few minutes later, Duan Yunhong really transferred the points of the SS-level 12-person team mission to Ning Fei, and added an additional 10,000.
Ning Fei didn't even ask what the extra points were for. He snorted and laughed, then dialed Yu Zhou's number.
***
Ning Fei made this overnight phone call, during which he was scolded by Yu Zhou for a long time in a sarcastic tone, and in the end Yu Zhou arranged a team for him.
Before hanging up, Yu Zhou emphasized: "Do you think I did this for the two hundred thousand luck? I saw that you wanted to save him, so I let you bear the consequences of this choice. Why do you want to meddle in this business? Think about it clearly, and don't tell me that you still care about fair competition. If you regret it in the future, don't blame me for nodding your head."
Ning Fei replied: "I know what I am doing."
Yu Zhou said with a hint of meaning: "I'm not talking about whether you can win this bet."
Ning Fei said: "I know."
"Then I have nothing more to say." Yu Zhou finally said, "There is only one thing, no matter how many of you go out, you will come back. This is the mission you have to accept, and you are responsible for the number of people, do you understand?"
"You ask me?" Ning Fei said, "Just don't take out the useless ones."
Yu Zhou added, "We are just about to set up that general office. If you leave, I don't know how many days will be wasted. Come back and work overtime to finish it quickly. I have basically made contact with the higher-ups, and I am just waiting to set it up as a model. You ran out to do other work at this critical moment, which is really great!"
Ning Fei also agreed.
Yu Zhou was still unhappy, but if he continued talking even he felt it was too much, so he simply hung up the phone. After thinking it over, he opened the address book, swiped around, selected a person, and pressed the dial button.
***
At nine o'clock in the morning, a task force consisting of three off-road vehicles set off from Tianyue. Ning Fei paid half of the task points in advance as a deposit, which wiped out everyone's irritation of being woken up in the middle of the night.
This is exactly Zheng Liwen's team.
There are a total of twenty-three people in his team, and the elite small team has eleven people, which is not full, so adding Ning Fei is just right. The strength is also good, ranking among the top in Tianyue. What’s more important is that they have completed several SS-level missions before and know how difficult and dangerous they are. It's appropriate to send them to cooperate with Ning Fei.
Of course, Yu Zhou was still unhappy that Duan Yunhong called Ning Fei away overnight. The arrangement for Zheng Liwen was meant to make Duan Yunhong unhappy to some extent.
Zheng Liwen himself did not have much hesitation about this job. After asking a few brothers for their opinions, I decided to take the task. High risk and high income, this is actually exactly the kind of work his team likes. Some people in their team even became excited in the middle of the night because they hadn't received such a big job for a long time. If some stores selling necessary supplies were not open until eight in the morning, these people would probably want to set off overnight.
In short, Ning Fei followed Zheng Liwen in the car. The car did not stop along the way to change drivers, and except for the routine safety inspection that it stopped for half an hour every day, the rest of the time the car was running all the way. There were four people in Zheng Liwen's car, three of whom took turns driving. The co-driver had to stay awake and point the way to help the driver stay awake. The two people in the back seat can take this opportunity to rest and recharge their batteries.
Ning Fei kept checking Duan Yunhong's situation along the way.
The good news is that he luckily survived another two nights. The bad news was that he hadn't heard any gunshots in the past two days, and apparently no one came to rescue him.
And according to his judgment, the door of the building was already in danger. By night, it is very likely that the gate will be breached by mutants. As for how long his room door can last, that's a matter of opinion. Anyway, Duan Yunhong had already piled up everything that could be piled up in front of the door and windows, so it would not be easy to open them by brute force or smash them all. The whole room was dark except for the vents exposed by the air-conditioning ducts he had deliberately removed. If Duan Yunhong didn't have a lot of backup power supplies, light sources, water and food in his own space, he really didn't know how he would get through these days.
However, Duan Yunhong adapted well to the siege. He was able to communicate with Huichuan people on work through his mobile phone, and send messages and locate Ning Fei. Ning Fei would answer him at first, but later he simply ignored him, glanced at it and closed it when he saw there was no important information. Duan Yunhong more or less guessed what he was thinking, so it didn't matter if he didn't reply.
——Anyway, Ning Fei is here.
Duan Yunhong knew that once Ning Fei made a decision, he would do it. He will not give up halfway and will not stop until he achieves his goal.
——He actually came.
Duan Yunhong found it difficult to describe how he felt when Ning Fei agreed to come. It was a feeling that was both reasonable and unexpected. He thought back to the conversation with Yu Zhou that day, and remembered that Ning Fei said he would ask Yu Zhou's opinion first. He could imagine Yu Zhou telling him not to bother with him, but no matter how much influence Yu Zhou had on Ning Fei, Ning Fei still chose to come all the way to save him.
Even if it was indeed Duan Yunhong's own fault.
He sat in the corner of the room with a mattress underneath him, a weapon in one hand and a cell phone in the other. He would close his eyes to rest from time to time, wake up automatically after a while, and check his phone the first thing he did was. Although he didn't know when Ning Fei would arrive, he knew that Ning Fei would definitely arrive.
The sun sets and another night comes.
Duan Yunhong basically stayed awake throughout the night and listened carefully to the movements outside. As he expected, soon the sound of nailing and clacking began to be heard from downstairs, mixed with a cry that sounded like a monkey. As time went on, the noise grew louder and the cries became more frequent. Late at night, there was a loud "bang!" and Duan Yunhong realized that a window downstairs had been broken!
The sound of rummaging through drawers came from downstairs, and Duan Yunhong sent a message to Ning Fei: [The mutant has entered the house, and I only have one line of defense. 】
Then he put his phone into the space and picked up the shotgun.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe dozens of minutes, maybe more than an hour, the mutant finally found this room that could not be opened.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ! !
Fortunately, there were many barriers and no sound in the room. The mutants could not clearly smell or hear that there was someone in the room, so not all mutants were banging on the door. Just smash it when you pass by, and smash it again when you pass by. The door was slammed so hard that it made an ear-shaking sound, and the thing blocking the door also shook slightly. Duan Yunhong's gun is loaded. As long as the door is broken open and the mutant's head appears, it will be bombarded with his bullets.
Just when his nerves were extremely tense, from afar, a gunshot rang out, piercing the night sky!
——Ning Fei is here!
