Chi Ming cut off all contact with Xia Lanlan.
He turned and walked back to his teammates.
Their mission was indeed due to the fact that several patrols had been attacked while on patrol, and headquarters hoped they could eliminate the terrorists who were attacking the patrols.
I wonder if these terrorists saw that the weapons they brought this time were too powerful.
They hadn't seen any of the terrorists along the way.
Chi Ming thought this excuse was acceptable.
However, he secretly kept a watchful eye on things. Xia Lanlan had him tell his teammates that the terrorists were on the fifth floor of Huiyou Department Store and suggested that they bomb the building with mortars. In reality, she was pushing him out. If the truth came out one day, he would definitely be implicated. So he went to his teammates and said, "The operator from the 1206 hotline in Beijing just gave me a message saying that the terrorists we are looking for are on the fifth floor of Huiyou Department Store. They said that these terrorists are extremely cruel and suggested that we just bomb the building."
Chi Ming felt more and more that his answer was perfect as he spoke.
Operator number 1206 is Xia Lanlan.
At first, when he didn't go to a more distant place to answer the call, his teammates next to him could hear the voice on the walkie-talkie. They can all testify that he was really just following the leader's instructions.
Chi Ming did this to prevent the truth from coming out one day. It was Xia Lanlan's instruction, and it had nothing to do with him.
Chi Ming's teammate said, "Are they sure there are terrorists in that building? If they use a mortar, the sound will be so loud. Won't all the zombies around swarm over? Will we be able to escape then?"
Chi Ming shrugged: "It wasn't me who said it, it was an order from headquarters. As for what you guys are talking about about escaping, I personally think that completing the mission is our primary task, and whether we can escape is secondary."
Several teammates looked at Chi Ming with immediate respect, and climbed onto the roof of the vehicle equipped with the mortar, aiming the mortar at Huiyou Hotel: "We didn't expect you to be such a responsible patrolman, a self-taught one. Since you've said that, how could we possibly back down?"
Chi Ming was very satisfied with the high level of enthusiasm among these people.
He had it all planned out. When the mortars were fired, he would climb into the car, and if things went wrong, he would just run away. It would be best if all these people were bitten to death by the zombies, so he could say it was an accident during a patrol. He wouldn't even need to continue making up the message that operator 1206 had given him earlier.
Even though he shifted all the blame to Xia Lanlan, there was still a risk involved in that message, so it was better to be clean and efficient this way.
Thinking this way, Chi Ming did just that. He climbed into the car and quietly waited for his companion to fire a mortar at Huiyou's building.
Before his teammate could even fire, another vehicle that had emerged from the safe zone yelled at him to stop: "Stop!!!"
The group of people who were preparing to fire were a little confused. What was going on?
At that moment, the person who had called for a halt got out of the car. The woman who got out was around thirty years old, wearing a simple military uniform. Her short hair, which reached her ears, was neatly combed back. Her wheat-colored face and a pair of sharp phoenix eyes looked coldly at everyone: "Who gave you permission to fire the cannon in this place?"
The woman is Tang Xin, the commander-in-chief of the patrol team.
Despite her surname being Tang and her given name being "Sugar Heart," she's actually not sweet at all.
It's not sweet at all.
It was so fierce that it sent chills down your spine.
No one wanted to be blamed, so they all turned their attention to Chi Ming, who was sitting in the car: "Didn't you say that headquarters ordered us to fire mortars at Huiyou Hotel?"
Chi Ming's initial idea was to wipe out Qiao An'an and her group and then shift the blame to Xia Lanlan. Now that he couldn't kill Qiao An'an and her group, it meant he would die. Without thinking, he stepped on the gas and drove away as fast as he could.
The patrol cars are all bulletproof and very sturdy.
Everyone turned their attention to Commander-in-Chief Tang Xin, awaiting her orders.
She was ruthless and didn't talk much. She directly turned the mortar around and fired a shot in the direction Chi Ming had left.
Chi Ming's car was indeed sturdy, but only bulletproof; it couldn't withstand such heavy weapons at all, and the car was blown over.
Upon hearing the noise, the zombies nearby all swarmed towards the overturned car.
Chi Ming was stuck in his seat and couldn't move at all.
What made him even more desperate was that the car's fuel tank was still leaking fuel.
Just as the zombies surrounded the car, it exploded with a loud bang, blowing away both the zombies and Chi Ming inside the car.
Amidst the towering flames, Tang Xin raised her chin, signaling everyone to call it a day and go home.
After the patrolmen who came out with Chi Ming saluted Tang Xin, they immediately returned to their car.
Tang Xin also got into the car she had driven.
Besides Tang Xin, Qiao An'an and her group were also in the car.
After Tang Xin got into the car, Qiao An'an asked, "Do you believe me now?"
It turned out that after cutting off her conversation with Xia Lanlan, Qiao An'an felt something was wrong, so she had Chi Xiaoyu connect to the capital again. This time, a different voice answered: "This is the Capital Radio Liaison Center. I am operator number 0891. How can I help you?"
Qiao An'an only felt that the voice was familiar, but she couldn't be sure who it was.
So he said to the unfamiliar voice, "Hello, I am the survivor who just spoke with you. Our operator, Xia Lanlan, who was on the phone with us just now, was very welcoming. We were so busy telling her about our situation that we forgot to thank her, so we had to contact you again."
The other party immediately replied with a smile, "It's our duty, you don't need to be so polite."
Qiao An'an deliberately mentioned Xia Lanlan's name.
If the operator at 1206 wasn't Xia Lanlan, then this person would definitely argue with her.
The person didn't refute it, clearly indicating that operator number 1206 was Xia Lanlan. This explained why Xia Lanlan hadn't spoken even though there was a signal. Qiao An'an wasn't entirely comfortable with Xia Lanlan, so she spoke again, "I have another favor to ask you. I misreported the number of people earlier..."
"It's okay, just correct it. You said the correct number of people..."
While answering Qiao An'an's questions, the operator retrieved the records from the computer. When she saw the records, her voice changed because she discovered that the computer records did not contain any information about receiving a distress signal.
She immediately sensed something was wrong.
They contacted their captain directly, who also found the matter suspicious. Normally, in such a situation, the captain would definitely verify with the operator. However, recently, when their patrolmen went out to patrol, they were always ambushed by terrorists on their usual routes. The higher-ups believed that there was a spy in the safe zone and told everyone to be careful.
So the captain didn't dare to alert the enemy and instead contacted Tang Xin, the patrol team leader.
