Chapter 329 Return to the original place
Captain Zhang said, "Don't get excited. Professor Pei is acting strangely. We should try not to touch him if possible."
Having said that, not only Pei Xin, but also he, Lao Shi, Huang Jinghe, and Zhou Zhiye had encountered Professor Pei under unforeseen circumstances. If there was really something wrong with Professor Pei's body, they would probably have been infected by now.
But now Ling Jiang said, "When you were in contact with Professor Pei, you didn't take off your thermal suits. As long as there's no direct skin contact, there shouldn't be any problems... After all, these outer suits are high-tech developed by the base."
Yes, there is another one behind it, so who can really guarantee that there will be no problem?
…
Because the weather was hot, mosquitoes attacked us wantonly after entering Maolin. Even in a light sleep, no one took off their heat-insulating clothes, including Grandpa Pei.
The old man is old and it is difficult for him to breathe when he is wearing clothes. It is okay when he is awake, but it is very uncomfortable when he is asleep. Therefore, he takes off the clothes directly after going to bed.
After all, everyone thought that since they were inside the house and there were so many elite teammates around, if something really happened, how could they not notice it in advance?
Come to think of it, Professor Pei might be like this because he took off his heat-insulating suit.
Because among all the people, only Grandpa Pei's thermal insulation suit was covered on his body instead of being worn on his body.
"Since everyone has such speculation, then remember not to take off your heat-insulating suits. As for the four of us... let's observe for a while." Captain Zhang finished speaking, then added, "As for the disinfection tools, we must disinfect them as necessary, just in case they prove useful."
However--
There were no disinfection tools at all. As the team members were taken away one by one, the disinfection tools were taken away with them.
In other words, at this moment, even if there is some unknown virus sticking to their thermal insulation suits, they have no way to solve it proactively.
Captain Zhang had a headache, "Then let's keep a certain distance between us."
But Lao Gao was puzzled: "Why do I feel like this is a division of our large team into small teams?"
Lao Gao didn't say it directly, but he almost said that you just wanted to separate the members of our team.
Hearing Lao Gao's unfriendly tone, Captain Zhang's head began to ache even more. "No, in such a dangerous situation, don't we have any trust in each other? Besides, we can't be too far away. This is all for your safety."
Lao Gao glanced at Lan Jin and, seeing that Lan Jin didn't say anything, he stopped making things difficult. Captain Zhang sighed, "You guys are really... Anyway, let's complete the mission first. It's so dangerous here, and I can't complete the mission without you. I've already said this, so please give me a little trust."
No one spoke, but looked at Lan Jin. How to say it, it was not only Lan Jin who did not trust the other party, but also only Lan Jin had a fight with the other party. After doubting the other party, when it came to the choice between the two, wasn't Lan Jin the only one who could take such an attitude?
Of course, no matter what Lan Jin chooses, her life is still in her own hands.
Seeing that Lan Jin didn't say anything at this moment, everyone just did what they wanted to do.
…
So far, there are 14 people left in the team.
Lan Jin, Lao Gao, Huang Jinghe, Ling Jiang, Captain Zhang, Lao Shi, Zhou Zhiye, the Shen brothers and sisters, as well as Xi Yu and Pei Xin, these eleven people are all people Lan Jin can call out by name. Among the remaining three, one is from the professor's team, who is nearly 30 years old, not very talkative, and has a low sense of presence, but has a distinctive appearance, so he is familiar to her.
The other two were members brought in by Captain Zhang. They had special abilities and were not much different in age, both around 25 years old.
But one thing is very strange. Most of the remaining people are from the H City base.
So what about the members of the other bases? Putting aside their lives, except for the Shen brothers and sisters, are they all just here for a day trip?
But these players don’t seem to be that weak.
Lan Jin sighed and said, "Let's go."
The group continued to move forward in silence. No one spoke for a long while. Suddenly, Lan Jin asked, "Captain Zhang, do you think it's too late for me to leave the base after completing this mission?"
Captain Zhang twitched his lips and said, "Aren't we still going to the Jing City base? Why retreat? Besides, we don't even know if the base will still be there after we return."
So what's there to retreat?
Lao Gao asked, "If the H City base is gone, then do we really go directly to the Beijing City base? It must be a long way, right? Is it possible?"
"Shouldn't our current problem be whether we can survive here?" If we can't even survive, why bother going to a base? Captain Zhang said, "We're from a military base and have already registered. Whether the H City base still exists after we return or not, you can live in any base."
And he really didn't say it. "The environment outside is nowhere near as good as the base. You're just unlucky. Normally, there aren't that many missions to carry out. The base has been built for over a year now, and the only major mission we've carried out was this one. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else."
The others are Lao Shi, the only one left in the J City base, and the Shen siblings from the R City base.
Lan Jin turned around and glanced at the faces of the three people. Among them, Shen Zhiyan said, "That's true. The base hasn't been built yet, but we already belong to the base. But apart from this mission, there is really no bigger task than this in such a long time."
So, you may not encounter a task of this difficulty in the future, so let’s not worry about anything else and just survive first. Let’s leave here alive before we talk about anything else.
Although Captain Zhang's words sounded reasonable, anyone who heard them would think that he was a big liar.
…
The group walked for more than an hour. They originally thought that even if they had not reached their destination, they should have walked a long way. But who knew that after walking for so long, they would end up back to where they started.
Looking at the cabin in front of them, almost everyone's expression became serious.
Captain Zhang asked doubtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the cabin we just left."
"There's no mistake." Lao Shi pointed at Professor Pei's body at the door of the cabin and said, "Isn't this Professor Pei? And the position he's lying in is exactly the same as before."
Everyone didn't know why Professor Pei had such a terrible reaction. No one dared to touch his bones or thermal insulation suit, so they naturally left them at the door of the cabin.
