Chapter 424: Watchtower



Song Haitao simply and clearly told Hu Yiyang about the situation after the AS area was ejected, and also told him about Jiang Yan and Ye Qing's battle with the mutant snow wolf.

However, he did not mention Jiang Yan's possession of the storage artifact, her departure for the Yunding Building, and her discovery of the Musen base conducting human feeding and mutant experiments.

After hearing the end, Hu Yiyang, who was always calm and composed, also exclaimed, "So, the AS area is still stuck on the Nanpan River?"

"Yes, it is likely that it is covered by ice and snow." Song Haitao finished speaking and sighed, "The building is made entirely of special metal materials and is very valuable. After the extreme cold weather passes and the ice and snow begin to melt, we still have to find a chance to get it back to the Yaoben base."

Hu Yiyang nodded, "Yes."

On the other side, Lin Xiaohui quickly bandaged the two injured soldiers.

"Doctor, I'm fine." She indicated that there was no need to wait for her and they could set off.

"Okay." Hu Yiyang was about to get in the car, and then she found that Mo Shiyao had been standing next to her. "Ms. Mo, get in the car."

Mo Shiyao's eyes were red, "Hu Yiyang, I have something to ask you alone."

"Okay." Hu Yiyang walked over, "Are you going to ask about Chief Mo?"

Mo Shiyao, "Yes."

"There is still no news." Hu Yiyang finished speaking and comforted her, "But, Miss Mo, you know, for soldiers like us who can sacrifice their lives at any time for the country and the people, no news is the best good news."

Mo Jingsheng is the leader of the base and her brother.

But he is also a soldier.

"Then Qin--" Outsiders don't know the relationship between her and Qin Zepeng, so it's not easy to ask directly.

Hu Yiyang thought she was concerned about why she was arranged, and explained:

"Deputy Chief Qin is very good, but there are a lot of things in the base recently, and he is also a little overwhelmed, so he can't lead the team this time."

"That's not what I mean." Mo Shiyao took a deep breath, "Forget it, get in the car first and go back to the base first."

"Okay."

The convoy began to go back.

Jiang Yan looked at the endless white snowfield outside, and her mood suddenly became complicated.

Finally, she was going back to the base.

During this period of time, it was like having a bizarre dream.

There were dangers, but also warmth.

Seeing the soldier driving the car turning the steering wheel very familiarly, Song Qian couldn't help but wonder, "Now the compass can't be used, how do you identify the direction?"

Sun Jingtao said, "Also, Zhang Ruijie fired a flare, how come you received it?"

"I'll tell you one by one." Hu Yiyang smiled and pointed to the distance,

"Can you see what's there?"

Everyone looked over in the direction of his gesture, "Isn't there nothing here?"

"Use a telescope to take a look?"

"Okay."

Jiang Yan also took out the telescope and took a closer look. At the end of the snowfield, an inconspicuous but obviously protruding bulge of ice and snow appeared in the field of vision.

A soldier took over the conversation, "The snowstorms are not as severe as before. We have started to send people to build many sentry towers in a circular shape with a radius of 50 kilometers."

Jiang Yan knew that they were built recently because if they were built before, a blizzard alone would bury all the sentry towers, not to mention the meteorite landing.

Another thing is that most people can adapt to the temperature outside as long as they wear more clothes.

"These sentry towers are used to monitor the outside environment and also for navigation. After all, we can easily find a landmark place like Dongshan Observatory, but it is not easy to find the way back to the base."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"As for the flare--" The soldier turned his head and looked at Hu Yiyang, "Captain Hu, I'm concentrating on driving, can you explain this?"

"Okay." Hu Yiyang smiled and spoke concisely.

Everyone listened and felt a little unbelievable.

It turned out that after the extreme cold weather, Yaoben Base began to prepare to search for the AS area and the whereabouts of Song Haitao and others.

Originally, they were also planning to set out to search in the near future, but they didn't expect that they would meet a pillow when they were sleepy last night. A sentry tower closest to Dongshan Observatory saw the flare and immediately reported it to the base sentry tower.

Qin Zepeng couldn't be completely sure that it was Song Haitao and others who were at Dongshan Observatory now. He could only be sure that there were people there, and they were not ordinary people.

After all, ordinary people couldn't launch flares.

In addition, the observatory and the seed bank hidden below were originally extremely important.

That's why Hu Yiyang's team was sent out.

Because it was the first time to send people out after the extreme cold weather, the team carried a lot of weapons this time.

Unexpectedly, the team that arrived at the foot of the mountain in the dark at night and prepared to sit down and rest before climbing the mountain at dawn encountered another strange team at dawn.

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows, "Strange team?"

Hu Yiyang, "Well, there are quite a few of them, some are soldiers, some are ordinary people, and some are too tall and deformed. "

Jiang Yan thought of the scene of Yunding Building, "They are mutants injected with hormones and viruses."

"The soldiers and ordinary people are walking in front, and the mutants are a little distance away from them."

Hu Yiyang and his team thought that the team was also from the brother base at first, so they didn't open fire directly.

But when an ordinary person in the back accidentally fell into the snow cave and was rescued, the mutants directly ate the person in front of the soldiers and ordinary people, and they knew that they were not encountering regular troops.

In other words, it was not a decent base.

The two sides naturally fought.

But because they were the attackers, armed with heavy weapons, and in the dark, the enemy was basically unprepared and the entire army was quickly destroyed.

Song Qian: "Then you didn't leave two people alive?"

"We left them at that time, but before we could torture them, they chose to commit suicide." Hu Yiyang finished speaking, his face solemn, "But I can tell from their clothes and accessories that they are from the Musen Base."

"The Musen Base has its own totem. That totem is the musk ox."

There is no musk ox in the Yaoben Base, but it has been heard of.

Sun Jingtao glanced out the window. The car had already left the mountainside and started speeding on the snowfield. "Didn't we return the same way? We didn't see those bodies."

It didn't snow today.

If there were bodies on the road, we would definitely see them on the way back, unless we changed the route.

Hu Yiyang explained, "I asked someone to clean up the scene."

Although it didn't snow, there was no shortage of powder snow around, so it was not difficult to bury some bodies.

The soldier driving the car interrupted, "So, is this a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind?"

"Yes, of course, but we were lucky too." Song Haitao concluded with a kind smile. (End of this chapter)
