An extremely serious crisis ended abruptly in an unexpected way after many people died, which plunged everyone in Helicopter 5 into unspeakable silence with different emotions.
After a while, the pilot straightened his back and relied on the onboard communication equipment to say to the rest of the helicopters:
"It has been confirmed that the crisis has been resolved.
"Repeat: It is confirmed that the crisis is lifted.
"Each detachment will land at their own destination as originally planned, waiting for follow-up notice."
After a pause, the pilot said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"I propose that everyone observe a minute of silence for the soldiers who sacrificed for Commissioner Huang without closing their eyes."
"I agree."
"I agree."
……
A sound rang out, and then fell silent.
Nearly two minutes later, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and asked Jiang Baimian through three companions:
"Did you sense the position of 'Doctor' just now?"
What's the use of asking now? Even if the "doctor" did not die, he would definitely have fled...... Jiang Baimian muttered and replied with a slight sigh:
"No."
If so, she would say it immediately.
"Neither do I." Shang Jianyao looked regretful, "It's a pity, I can't see the scene of ballistic missile salvos."
Be serious, you have just finished mourning! Now is the one who seeks novelty and curiosity? Jiang Baimian closed his mouth and stopped talking.
She felt that silence was a sign of respect for the victims such as Commissioner Huang and Mr. Zhang.
It didn't take long for the helicopter to begin to descend and stop outside a not-so-large human settlement.
There is a flat field here.
Prior to this, the helicopter had received an order from the Northern Wubei Material Coordination Committee to return with the surviving "Salvation Army" veterans to the military base attached to Northern Wuzhou to wait for further notice.
Jiang Baimian and others carried different crates and waved goodbye to this group of temporary comrades.
After seeing the black helicopter circling an arc in mid-air and flying into the distance, Long Yuehong raised her hand and rubbed her ears:
"The noise is so loud that my hearing has not fully recovered until now."
He could hear all the sounds around him, but he always felt that there was a thick barrier between them and him.
"Really?" Jiang Baimian did not have such an experience.
Her biological cochlea is self-regulating.
"Yes." The honest Shang Jianyao stuffed two fingers into the left and right ear piercings, squeezed them in before pulling them out, "This will be much better."
Bai Chen did as he did, and then asked:
"Where are we going next?"
"Let's wait for the 'Salvation Army' to send our car over and figure out the latest situation." Jiang Baimian looked around and was not in a hurry to walk to the human settlement not far away.
As a representative of being lazy if he can be lazy, the vicious Shang Jianyao put down the crate he was carrying and sat on it.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian followed suit, followed by Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Gnava hesitated for a moment and decided to be more like a human.
Ten minutes passed, and two cars, including the jeep of the "old tune team", drove over from the north of Wu and stopped in front of Jiang Baimian and others.
The person responsible for driving their car was Ding Ling.
Ding Ling pushed the door down and threw the key at Jiang Baimian.
Shang Jianyao jumped up and grabbed the item first.
"......" Ding Ling was a little dumbfounded for a while.
The car with several "Salvation Army" soldiers in the back did not approach this side, as if it was guarding them from a distance.
Shang Jianyao took the key, took a few steps forward, and said to Ding Ling with a heavy expression:
"Commissioner Huang, Zhang Lao, and the others sacrificed."
His voice faded down, not hiding his own sadness.
Ding Ling lowered her head slightly and glanced at her toes:
"I found out halfway through, and there was an on-board radio in the other car."
She then looked up and squeezed out a smile full of sadness:
"On the first day I became a 'Salvation Army,' I knew sacrifice was inevitable.
"Unlike those soldiers around northern Wubei, I have been in border settlements for a long time, often facing danger, being injured several times, and I have always been mentally prepared for the sudden sacrifice of the people around me one day.
"Although it really happened, it will definitely be sad, but the most important thing is to keep going, cherish the people around you who deserve attention, get along with them, and try not to leave too many regrets in your daily life."
Jiang Baimian could understand Ding Ling's mood, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when the honest Gnawa suddenly spoke:
"Then do you know that Zeng Ping'an likes you, have you gotten along well with him and don't let him leave too many regrets?"
At this moment, not only Long Yuehong, but also Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian were stunned, only Shang Jianyao seemed to want to applaud.
What the hell is this? Lao Ge, don't torture human nature at such a time! This is so rude! Moreover, isn't this really a bar? After coming back to his senses, Jiang Baimian was embarrassed and wanted to dismantle the broken robot.
She already remembered who Zeng Ping'an was, a young man at the border post, who had saved Ding Ling in the tentative attack of the "First City" last year, was shot several times, and almost died.
Just when Jiang Baimian tried to round things up and apologize, Ding Ling replied with a complicated expression:
"I had a relationship with him."
"......" Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao all lost their ability to speak for a while, but Bai Chen did not react much.
Before Gnawa asked, Ding Ling sighed softly:
"Do you want to say that I have a husband, and ask you to go to the ice field to find him?
"It's been two years, he has not been heard from in the ice field, I am guarding my hometown on the border, I don't even know if he is dead or alive now, if there is still a possibility of reunion, he is the same, maybe the next minute, one of us will be infected with 'heartless disease' or hit in the heart by a bullet.
"I love him, but I also have pity and love for my comrades.
"A child who can protect your back and can be seriously injured for your sake is about to die, looking at you with longing for love, do you refuse like this? He is a wilderness wanderer, his parents died early, he suffered a lot, and finally came to our 'Salvation Army', survived the years, joined the army, and never felt love.
"Hehe, I've never met again, but I stick to each other's love for a lifetime, but this is a luxury, and the dust only looks at today, not tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Ding Ling lowered her eyes and said in a lost tone:
"I also longed for ......"
Long Yuehong couldn't accuse Ding Ling of doing something wrong, he felt that people who had never experienced the corresponding thing said anything they said without back pain.
He could only curse fiercely in his heart:
This fucking world!
Ding Ling quickly returned to normal, looked at the "old tune team", exhaled and said:
"If my husband can come back, I will tell him everything that happened to him, and he will decide how we go in the future."
As she spoke, Ding Ling's words became faster and faster:
"I expect you to find him, tell him, tell him, I miss him very much."
There was still a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Don't worry, we will definitely work hard to do what we promised you."
She didn't continue the topic, but asked:
"What is the current situation in northern Wubei?"
"We are investigating whether there is a nuclear bomb hidden, and I don't know how many 'Salvation Army' soldiers are busy at risk of being killed." Ding Ling smiled slightly bitterly, "When it is confirmed that there is no problem, let the evacuated people return, which should be soon."
"So fast?" Shang Jianyao asked cooperatively.
Ding Ling nodded slightly:
"The threat of the 'New World' powerhouse came too urgently, and in order to hurry up and allow a large number of people to evacuate quickly, they did not do any inspection when they left the city.
"Now, there is a high probability that the nuclear bomb has been transferred out of northern Wuhu, hehe, it is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go, anyway, our 'Salvation Army' is not the only nuclear warhead."
At present, it seems that the group that stole the nuclear bomb does not want to blow up any important city of the "Salvation Army", after all, the only important thing that can be more important than northern Wubei is Pingnan City, the headquarters of the "Salvation Army".
"I can only track it down slowly." Jiang Baimian said with relief.
Ding Ling looked back at the other car:
"I have to go, you can either return to northern Wubei to replenish supplies, or go directly to the ice field, and replenish supplies on the way.
"You didn't lose your pass, did you?"
"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head.
Ding Ling said "hmm":
"If you want to return to northern Wubei, it is best to wait until three days later, or get a notice that it is safe to do."
She then waved her hand:
"I'm waiting for you to bring me back the good news!"
After watching Ding Ling get into another car and head towards northern Wubei, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao and others:
"Move all the boxes back to the car."
Long Yuehong hurriedly took a few steps forward and opened the trunk of the jeep.
In a flash of his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly:
"So many supplies?
"Gifted by the 'Salvation Army'?"
He found that the trunk was filled with more than one-third of the space with the few supplies left.
"There is still such a good thing?" Shang Jianyao rushed over excitedly and pulled a few times in the pile of materials.
In the banging sound, the pile of materials collapsed, revealing a large box below.
"It's only one or two layers......" Shang Jianyao was slightly disappointed and opened the box curiously.
In the crackling sound, the eyes of several members of the "Old Tune Group" suddenly froze.
In that box lay quietly a silver-gray, rather heavy warhead.
After being at a loss for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian said to himself:
"This can't be the nuclear warhead, right?"
Is the prisoner myself?
Hearing this sentence and seeing this scene, a vague memory suddenly became clear in Long Yuehong's mind:
When the team leader and Shang Jianyao went to meet with Commissioner Huang, they took over from Gnawa and came to the window to monitor the movement near the jeep.
The man avoided the surveillance camera throughout the whole process and knew the situation in the parking lot well.
