MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 102 The motherland will always be your strong backing

  After parting with the Dawning Squad, Qi Lie and Qi Xinwu detailed what happened to each other on the way back to the command center for supplies.

   Qi Xinwu regretted not being able to witness the wonderful battle between the Dawning Squad and the mutants, but did not dwell on this topic too much, and hurriedly explained to Qi Lie what Cao Ming had done.

   "The traitor is really a bastard, so he can run fast." Qi Lie gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I would definitely burn him into a charred barbecue and feed it to the dog."

   Qi Xinwu shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't think he is a traitor who is simply afraid of war. Although I didn't understand what he meant at the end, it looks like he is organized!"

   "What organization? Jiang Haichao?" Qi Lie's tone was frivolous.

   "Impossible. I think it's more likely to be a mysterious organization. As for who they are and what their intentions are, then I don't know. I just have this feeling." Qi Xinwu touched the bridge of his nose and said.

   Qi Lie smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why are you so full of conspiracy theories, don't think about those who have or not all day long, hurry up and find a girlfriend for our old Qi family to follow up!"

   Qi Xinwu rolled his eyes when he heard his uncle's rude words, and decided to keep the matter in his heart, and then report it to Captain Geng or Commander Liu when he returned to the command center.

But when I returned to the command center, Qi Xinwu discovered that there was only an empty shell left in the front finger. Captain Geng Zhiping and three or two cats and kittens were sitting in the command room, smoking a cigarette. , a boring look.

"Old Qi, shit, I'm finally back, come and hurry up, call your nephew to fight the landlord with me, I'm bored here." When Geng Zhiping saw Qi's uncle and nephew, he hurriedly threw a cigarette and greeted Qi Lie. Seeing discipline and influence as nothing.

   Qi Lie gave Geng Zhiping a false punch, pulled Geng Zhiping's shoulder, looked at the stranger who was sitting beside Geng Zhiping before, and asked, "This is?"

   "Oh, this is the newly discovered Awakened in the camp, Yang Yuechen." After Geng Zhiping finished speaking, he patted Qi Lie on the shoulder and said to Yang Yuechen, "This is the acting captain of the Falcon Squad, Qi Lie."

  Yang Yuechen hurriedly stood up, nodded politely at Qi Lie, and said with a smile, "Hello, Captain Qi."

   "Hello, Mr. Yang." Qi Lie nodded with a smile and began to introduce, "That's my nephew, Qi Xinwu."

   "You can just call me Xiao Yang." Yang Yuechen's smiling face is not handsome, but has a pleasant temperament, "Hello Xinwu, it's the first time we meet, please pay more attention in the future."

   "Huh?" Qi Lie looked at Geng Zhiping, not sure why.

"That's right, because Yang Yuechen's superpowers are quite special, Brigadier Zhao specially approved him to join the Falcon Squad and participate in the Tianjian plan." Geng Zhiping explained, "So you will be comrades in arms in the future, Lao Qi, don't bully newcomers! "

   "No way, I'm the most loyal." Qi Lie patted his chest and said boldly, "It's also a coincidence, I just had a traitor Cao Ming escaped from my side, and you came here, fate!"

   "Hehe, it's quite a fate." Yang Yuechen's smile was even brighter, revealing two rows of neat and white teeth, but for some reason, his heart was chilling.

   "Since we are going to fight side by side in the future, let's understand each other's abilities first. My ability is to create and control flames, and Xinwu's ability is a panorama, how about you?" Qi Lie asked.

"Oh, I can create a connection similar to a spiritual chain." Yang Yuechen said without hesitation, "Through the connection, I can talk to the person being connected, no matter how far apart I am, the voice of my words will enter his mind, and he will speak. The voice will also be transmitted back - of course, the premise is that the other party allows it. Hehe, useless ability."

   "This connection can only make one?"

   "No, more than one, should be able to make many."

"Then you are wrong, your ability is very useful!" Qi Lie's eyes glowed, as if he had obtained a treasure, "With you, we will be able to ignore obstacles on the battlefield, transmit orders accurately and directly, and also be able to reach a long distance. Asking for help, asking for instructions, etc... Your abilities are simply for our Falcon Squad!"

   "Oh, is that so? That's really great." Yang Yuechen put on a proud expression, as if he was glad that his ability could come in handy.

   "That, Captain Geng, may I ask you." At this moment, Qi Xinwu suddenly interjected, "Where's Commander Liu?"

"Commander Liu led the team to the dome boundary of the Yuangui Expressway. Don't ask more about the specifics, I don't know." Just ready poker.

  …………

  The toll station of Yuangui Expressway, where cars came and went, was split in half by a dome that fell from the sky. The scene outside the dome was blurred, and the abandoned vehicles inside the dome formed a long queue.

Most of the zombies and mutants left the highway in the process of chasing food and entered the urban area. Only a small number of unlucky people still stayed in this deserted lane, or got stuck, or locked by their former self. In the car, or without legs, slow movement.

   From morning to night, the silence is as always.

   Until late at night, the high beams that suddenly turned on illuminated the driveway, and the roar of the motor sounded, awakening the zombies who had gone to sleep in various strange postures.

The smell of fresh food wafted from afar, and the zombies that were lying on their backs or lying like dead corpses jumped up one after another, swarming in groups, rushing to the distant convoy at a relatively slow speed, but they didn’t know that the tin cans contained more than human flesh. , and bullets.

   "All of them, ready to fight!" Liu Yuanzhou ordered, "Leave the car in front and wait for those zombies to rush to the precise range before firing." After giving the order, Liu Yuanzhou frowned and thought about the phenomenon he had just observed.

Liu Yuanzhou knew from Yang Xiaoqian from Yang Xiaoqian when the Dawning Team was established that the brain core of zombies is the core that provides energy for zombies, but neither he nor Liu Yuanzhou himself know how much energy the brain core can provide for zombies, nor do they know how much energy the brain cores can provide to zombies. How long can it continue to move without eating, let alone how the zombies will not eat for a long time.

   After all, the zombies in the urban area, those close to Brigade 258 have long been wiped out, and those far away from Brigade 258 are not short of food.

   Since the establishment of the corpse front finger, this is the first time that a zombie that has not eaten for a long time and remained alive has been observed.

"From the perspective of their response, when they cannot get food and lack energy, they will enter a dormant state similar to animal hibernation to reduce energy loss. When there is sound or smell from the outside world, they will wake up from the dormant state. , looking for food... In other words, their energy is limited, as long as they can drag on for a long enough time, most zombies will lose their combat effectiveness or even self-destruct due to lack of energy."

Speaking to himself, Liu Yuanzhou stopped and sighed: "Unfortunately, there are not only mutants in Yuanjiang, but also various criminals who trample the law and poison the people, and speculators with wicked intentions to create chaos. Can't hold back."

   When Liu Yuanzhou finished this sentence, the few zombies in front of him had been completely destroyed by the precise point shots of the front-fingered soldiers—in order to save ammunition, facing small-scale corpses, fewer and fewer people chose to shoot.

   The lane ahead was blocked, and it was unrealistic to remove them all. If an armored vehicle ran over them all the way, it might cause damage and failure, and it was difficult to turn around when they reached the boundary of the dome. Liu Yuanzhou could only raise the telescope.

Soon, Liu Yuanzhou observed what the fugitives said about the anomaly: with the dark highway as the background, it was obvious that there was a blurry light curtain outside the dome, flickering constantly, and it didn't look like the random flickering of a street light failure. , but a very regular and cyclically repeated flicker.

   Morse code? After seeing the doorway, Liu Yuanzhou immediately called for the correspondents and technicians and ordered them to decode immediately.

   Soon, the red-faced correspondent brought the news.

   "Report! The flashing light curtain outside should be a high-power searchlight! The code used is confirmed to be Morse code, and the content has been successfully deciphered."

"read!"

   "Yes!" The correspondent unfolded the stationery in his hand and read aloud, "My unit is the 73rd Reconnaissance Brigade of the 12th Army, and is now instructed to send the following information to the 258th Brigade inside the dome."

   Speaking of this, the correspondent's voice trembled a little.

   "There is a laser communication device in the equipment library located at the coordinates of 26.5688671065, 106.6706104881, please go immediately, obtain and use the device to receive messages in the 550 to 590 nanometer spectral range with our military confidential communication code."

   Liu Yuanzhou stood up excitedly, then froze in place, receiving the news?

Shouldn't    be a communication link with them? Why receive messages unilaterally? Couldn't they receive feedback from within the dome?

   "What about the people in the communication company? I ordered them to bring laser communication equipment before, and let them receive information as instructed!"

   The courier raised his hand to salute, and then ran out in a hurry. Liu Yuanzhou paced back and forth in the makeshift tent alone, unable to bear the anxiety in his heart.

   After a long time, the correspondent appeared in Liu Yuanzhou's sight again.

   There is no unnecessary nonsense, and even before we can salute, the correspondent raised the letter in his hand and read:

   "Dear Yuanjiang compatriots, I'm Wen..."

   "Chairman Wen?" Liu Yuanzhou stepped forward, grabbed the stationery, and scanned it with a single glance.

The thousands of words    eloquently describe the current situation outside the dome: the disaster shocked the whole world. Thanks to the timely and decisive response of Yuanjiang, the biochemical crisis did not cause immeasurable huge losses to all countries. Although my country is currently extremely passive in international public opinion due to the existence of the Yuanjiang Dome, our country will never compromise easily. Defending the Yuanjiang people is the final bottom line and the bottom line that cannot be compromised. In order to ensure that the compatriots in Yuanjiang and our people are not harmed, Chairman Wen has issued Chairman's Order No. 49, the National War Mobilization Order!

   Finally, there are a few paragraphs written at the bottom of the letter, and the crooked font shows the excitement of the transcriber at that time:

   Because of the dome, satellites cannot detect you and cannot photograph you. We have tried all the available methods, but we have not been able to get any news from you.

   However, please don’t give up easily. Although the dome separates us from each other, our hearts are still together. The 1.6 billion compatriots in China are always thinking about your safety.

  Please remember:

   anytime, anywhere, whatever the circumstances.

  The motherland will never abandon you!

  The motherland will always be your strong backing!
