Survive

Chapter 205 The Unexpectedly Reunited Childhood Friend
Things went much smoother after that, and Zheng Lei arrived at the Dongdu military camp along with the secret service team and the survivors.As soon as he entered the barracks, Zheng Lei's eyes lit up immediately. He saw the barracks bustling with people coming and going, and survivors and soldiers were busy everywhere. In a trance, Zheng Lei and the others seemed to have returned to the base in Muye City.

Since I left the base in Makino City, I haven't seen so many people in a long time!Zheng Lei was so excited that he almost couldn't hold back and called out to fellow villagers.

Looking at this posture, the Dongdu base is not smaller than the Muye City base.

"Thank you for your help. We're going to the command post to report back." Jumping off the jeep, the leading secret service member said to Zheng Lei.

Zheng Lei nodded: "Let's go together, I happened to discuss something with the person in charge here."

Although the secret service members didn't know what Zheng Lei was going to do, they still took Zheng Lei to the command post behind the camp.

"Report!" The leading secret service member walked to the door of the command post and saluted and shouted loudly: "The third special service team successfully completed the mission without any casualties. We are here to return! Please give instructions!"

Hearing the voice of the special service team leader, a bearded middle-aged man in military uniform immediately strode out from the command post, glanced left and right, saw that there were no casualties in the special service team, and immediately returned a salute with a happy face: "Relax! Good! There are no casualties!"

A member of the secret service team unloaded the backpack from his back, opened it to reveal the medicine inside, and then put the backpack on the ground in front of him: "Report! This is the medicine we brought back."

"Okay!" The middle-aged man in military uniform with a beard was even happier: "Guards! Come here and send all the medicines to the medical center! Hurry up, they are waiting for urgent use!"

Following his order, two soldiers ran out from the command post immediately, and were about to pick up their backpacks and run back.

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Lei stopped them loudly.

The bearded middle-aged officer finally noticed Zheng Lei who had been standing behind the whole time. He scanned Zheng Lei from head to toe with a puzzled look, and then walked over. After saluting, he asked: " Who are you……"

"Report to the chief! He was the one who helped us escape from the corpses in the hospital!" The secret service team leader immediately reported.

"Wait a moment..." Zheng Lei motioned to the two guards: "There are more!"

As he said that, Zheng Lei took out all the medicines taken from the medicine storehouse in the system space, and immediately piled up a hill full of various medicines in front of him.

The surrounding soldiers immediately stared straight, and those special service members finally knew what Zheng Lei was doing when he left for a short while just now.

"Take these medicines as a gift, Commissar Luo." Zheng Lei smiled and said to the bearded middle-aged officer, "I'm from Muye City. Commissar Luo should have been notified from the rear, right?"

When leaving the base in Mingfu County, Commander Wang had already told Zheng Lei and the person in charge on Professor Cui's side when he told them the next step.

The bearded middle-aged officer was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at Zheng Lei with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you Professor Cui?"

"Uh... no, I'm Professor Cui's bodyguard..." Zheng Lei shook his head: "Professor Cui is waiting in the suburbs. We have some situations that require me to come over and coordinate with you."

What Zheng Lei was talking about was the aircraft. If the aircraft were to fly directly over the base to land rashly, it would definitely cause misunderstandings by the soldiers at the base below, and they might even be attacked.In particular, the possibility of being watched by the survivors is something that Zheng Lei does not want to happen and should not let it happen at this stage.

In the command post, after Zheng Lei explained the specific situation to Political Commissar Luo, the two made some arrangements together, and decided to let the aircraft reach the base quietly in the middle of the night, and hide it directly after landing, and at the same time sent soldiers to guard it. The survivors approached where the craft fell.

After some discussion, Zheng Lei asked the sick girl to go back and tell the results of the discussion to Professor Cui and the others inside the aircraft, and then led by a security guard of Political Commissar Luo to the place where they were arranged to rest.

Passing by a small square in the middle of the base, Zheng Lei turned his head to look inadvertently, and suddenly found a somewhat familiar figure.

This is a woman in her 40s, but a few gray hairs have grown from her temples, and her face is a bit haggard.The woman was holding a stainless steel plate at this time, received three loaves smaller than a fist, and then walked back holding the loaves like guarding a treasure.

Three breads a day is not even enough to maintain physical strength, but for those who have no food or drink, it is already a great gift.After all, more food is allocated to those who can go out to bring supplies to the base. Those who have no "value" in the base can barely survive starvation.

Zheng Lei was thinking that it might be someone he knew, when he saw a strong woman walking over, took a piece of bread from the woman's plate, put it into her own bowl, and said: "Your family also No one, I can't eat so much, lend me one first." After speaking, he was about to leave.

Zheng Lei frowned, gestured to the guard leading the way, then walked over there, looked carefully at the woman with gray temples, and finally remembered who this familiar woman was probably , but still not sure, so he tentatively called out: "Aunt Guo?"

The woman was shocked when she heard the words, and finally turned her head to look at Zheng Lei, but her face was a little confused.She can't be blamed either, although Zheng Lei's appearance hasn't changed much, but his temperament is very different, so although she vaguely feels who the boy in front of her is, she is not sure.

"Aunt Guo, it's me, Zheng Lei!" Zheng Lei smiled and said to the woman.

At this moment, Zheng Lei can be sure that this woman is a former neighbor of their family. She is very kind and enthusiastic. Zheng Lei's mother has always been in poor health. When she was a neighbor, her family took great care of her.Her husband died in a car accident not long after she was pregnant. She took a little girl with her. First, she loved her husband deeply, and second, she didn't want the little girl to be wronged, so she never remarried. The girls went to school and came home together, and then they did their homework together.Later, the little girl studied well in junior high school and went to school in the urban area. After a few years, her family moved to Dongdu. Later, Zheng Lei's family also moved. Although the adults often communicate with each other by phone, I think I don't think I have seen it for four or five years.

"Boy Lei, it's really you! Why are you here?!" The woman looked at Zheng Lei in surprise, and said, "Your appearance hasn't changed much, but the feeling you give is so different. I couldn’t tell. How did you come here?! Didn’t you go to school in Makino?”

Uh... Aunt Guo, I'm already in my 20s... Can you please stop calling me that...

Zheng Lei scratched his head embarrassingly, then shifted his gaze to the woman who just snatched the bread from Aunt Guo.

"You didn't distribute the bread?" Zheng Lei raised his eyebrows and asked the woman.

"Whether I distribute bread or not has anything to do with you?!" the woman said quite confidently.

Zheng Lei's face immediately turned gloomy, and he stared at the woman with an unfriendly expression: "Of course it has nothing to do with me whether you distribute bread or not, but whether you rescue it or not has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Zheng Lei's unkind expression, the woman quickly tried to persuade him, "Forget it, his son is blocking zombies on the defense line, and he eats more..."

Zheng Lei became angry when he heard it. Guarding the zombies on the defensive line is a soldier. Since he is a soldier, his family's food and clothing must be guaranteed. It is too bullying to come to grab this bread people.

With a dark face, Zheng Lei asked the woman, "Aunt Guo, does she often grab your bread like this?"

The women didn't want them to fight, so they didn't answer.

Zheng Lei shrugged his shoulders, and with a sudden flash, he snatched the small basket from the woman's hand. There were several breads in it. Zheng Lei stuffed all the bread into Aunt Guo's hand.

"Give it back to me!" The bread was suddenly robbed, and Aunt Li pointed at Zheng Lei angrily, shaking the flesh on her face.

Zheng Lei glanced at her lightly, and the murderous spirit of rushing around in the crowd of zombies all day came out.Although it was just a meaningless glance, it suddenly made the woman's heart skip a beat, her confidence sank and she said with a guilty conscience, "What do you want to do?! My son is an officer in the army now, and he can be called here just by shouting. People beat you to death, do you believe it or not?"

"I beg you to kill me, I'll wait." Zheng Lei said with a disdainful smile.

The woman was immediately annoyed by Zheng Lei's cynicism, she was about to grab Zheng Lei's face with all her teeth and claws, and at the same time wanted to win those buns back.

Without raising his eyes, Zheng Lei kicked the woman over.The woman screamed and cursed at once, and was about to swear, but the guard hurried over and stopped her, gouging her eyes out.

"Aunt Guo, let's go and sit with you." Zheng Lei stopped looking at the woman on the ground holding her stomach and screaming in pain, and said to the woman.

When passing by the place where the woman lived, Zheng Lei hesitated and asked, "Uh, Aunt Guo, why didn't you see Xiaoyi?"

Xiaoyi is her daughter, and she and Zheng Lei are childhood sweethearts. When they were young, they went to and from school together and did their homework together. When they were in elementary school, they made an appointment to go to junior high school together in the city. Unfortunately, Zheng Lei's family met that year. Without that financial resources, their mother and daughter have been in Dongdu since then, and the number of times Zheng Lei met her again is only a handful.

In my impression, Xiaoyi is a gentle and quiet girl, she studies hard, and she is also very beautiful, delicate and delicate. Later, Zheng Lei regretted it. Damn, she was too young to know at that time, so she let it go abruptly. A goddess is gone!

"Xiaoyi... Well, she's in the house!" Aunt Guo smiled unnaturally, looking a little forced: "You two haven't seen each other for many years, right? You two were tired of being together all day long when you were young." What! She must be glad to see you again!"

Uh... Hearing what she said, Zheng Lei touched his nose in embarrassment.

While talking, the two walked together to a row of houses on the side of the base. Aunt Guo suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Lei with some hesitation, as if hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Lei asked.

"Xiaoyi...well, something happened a while ago..." Aunt Guo frowned, her tone filled with sadness: "Oh, go and see for yourself, I hope she will be happier seeing her childhood friend... "

Zheng Lei's heart skipped a beat, for this little girl next door who always regrets that she didn't know how to seize the opportunity to start from a young age when she grows up, Zheng Lei still takes it very seriously.

Following the room Aunt Guo was pointing at, and opening the curtains, what came into view was a narrow bed, on which sat a slender figure, staring intently out of the window in a daze.

Zheng Lei looked down and saw that the quilt covering the girl's body was spread flat on the bed underneath.

At that moment, Zheng Lei felt a sharp pain in his heart.
