353, Mutant 16

"Have we escaped? Have we escaped?!"

Yu Heng kicked the birdman's body down, and his vision suddenly widened. The car only bumped slightly when it ran over. He turned on the intercom to call Chen Kaibin, and answered Zeng Minghuan: "I don't know. I haven't figured out what the black shadow I just saw is, Brother Chen! How are you? Zeng Minghuan and I are fine. Okay, let's go to the camp."

"Hengman, look! Behind!"

He looked back and saw a military truck crashing into a building on the side of the road. In the dust, he saw a thick shadow in the cab. He immediately put on the glasses hanging around his neck, and everything in his sight turned black and white, except for a red thing in the cab behind. The thing was twisting, and he also saw a pair of hands desperately reaching out for help.

"Should we--"

"No! Go!" Yu Heng's heart beat violently when he thought of the scene just now. That was not something he could deal with now!

That, is it also a shadow? Who can catch a shadow? How to deal with a shadow? Since there is no clue, let's get away quickly.

"Oh, oh!"

The car sped, chasing the two military trucks in front. Yu Heng took out a barrel of gasoline from the storage ring and said to Zeng Minghuan: "Don't go straight, go around the road!" After that, he began to pour it out of the window. Because of the speed of the car, the gasoline was scattered all over the ground. Zeng Minghuan turned the front of the car slightly and took an S-shaped route.

A shot hit the oil barrel thrown on the ground, and the flames burst instantly, quickly igniting all the gasoline on the ground, and a winding sea of ​​fire was instantly formed.

In the distance, a shadow slid along the ground. The shadow looked like it had slender limbs, as if an invisible person was running rapidly, and then stopped in the sea of ​​fire. It changed direction, but was still blocked. The shadow tore up from the ground and stood upright. Seeing that this road was blocked by the chaotic sea of ​​fire, it could not pass. Although the flames could not hurt its roots, it would still be very uncomfortable to go through it. So he laughed, and the laughter was weird, and it sounded like a "puff puff" effect.

It went up the wall next to it and bypassed this road. When it caught up, it looked at the scene of heavy tanks and trucks standing in the distance and the fire was blazing. It slid down the wall in dissatisfaction, and the shadows of the trees swayed, and it disappeared in an instant.

Yu Heng and others who escaped death were taken to the garrison for treatment. Fortunately, he and Chen Kaibin and the soldiers in the three cars were still there. Although they were seriously injured, the accompanying military doctor said that their lives were not in danger.

"You have made meritorious service. Don't worry, you will be rewarded after you go back."

"What is the situation in that car?" Yu Heng asked.

"The fire on the road has just been extinguished. People have been sent to investigate. I am afraid that it is more dangerous than good." The visitor sighed: "The black shadow you are talking about has appeared for the first time. Killing people invisibly is too dangerous. The command camp is holding an emergency meeting."

When the condolences left, the wounded soldiers were left in the carriage. The car was filled with the sound of heavy breathing due to pain. The high-powered lights illuminated the car so brightly that I couldn't fall asleep even with my eyes closed. Lights were necessary. Knowing that there was such a strange thing like smoke and shadow, it was important to keep a clear vision.

"Do you think Xiao Cui and the others are still alive?" Zeng Minghuan asked.

Yu Heng: "I don't know." He knew Zeng Minghuan was looking at him, but he couldn't move his neck and could only use his peripheral vision to see the other's expression. What kind of expression was that? Confusing, tangling, and still tangling. Thinking of the barrel of gasoline, he couldn't help but laugh and closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't fall asleep completely. The army began to withdraw and stopped on the avenue outside the development zone for the night. This night was not peaceful either. He could always hear the sounds outside while sleeping in the closed car. There was almost constant gunfire all night, and he also learned from some chaotic footsteps and shouts that someone was always missing.

Without exception, the disappearance was silent, leaving only bloodstains and fragments of clothing on the spot. In fact, more people believe that people are dead. Even if the headlights are turned on, making the camp as bright as day, there are shadows wherever there are lights. It is said that the monster can move on the ground and then climb onto the human body. After that, it can be used as a sharp blade to cut your throat, or it can wrap around your head and gnaw your head off inch by inch.

You can't touch it, bullets and knives can't touch it, and finally you can't bear the pain, so you can only stab the sharp knife into your heart, just to die quickly.

None of the injured in the carriage slept. Yu Heng counted his breaths with half-closed eyes, slowly waiting for the long night to pass.

It can be said that the shadow that appeared outside the plan cast a heavy shadow on this plan. Things that are unpredictable and clueless are the most terrifying and dangerous.

All night, they even used buckets to relieve themselves, and they never dared to go to the bathroom outside - the missing person tonight started from the bathroom, and his head was covered by the shadow in full view of everyone. His companions rushed over, but still couldn't save him.

It was not until the morning that Yu Heng finally slept for a while. There was a lot of traffic outside, and the whistles of troops were constantly being sent out. When he woke up from his sleep, the troops who had gone out returned one after another, and the army broke camp and retreated to the safe zone at 5 pm.

They didn't even stay in this place for another night.

They walked for two hours like this, and didn't stop even when it was completely dark. They patrolled in batches at night without stopping for a moment, and finally arrived at the safe zone late at night the next day.

This time, Operation Helong was a success. All the necessary equipment and machinery marked in the list were brought back. To say it was a success is a bit false. There were too many people lost. It was not that they were not mentally prepared for the loss of personnel. It was just that the loss was too tragic, and the uncaptured black shadow added a supernatural and strange meaning.

There is no true corpse.

Yu Heng and others came to Zheng's mother. Zheng's mother cried when she saw him and kept asking about his injury. There were not many injuries on his body, except for the beak pecks on his neck and side. The injury on his side was so deep that the bones were visible, but it was not fatal.

"It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous. Why don't you go there again? Mom will support you..."

He couldn't shake his head and could only express his determination with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine."

After arriving home and recuperating for a month, the injury was completely healed. At this time, the notice from the combat school also came out. The results of him, Zeng Minghuan, Chen Kaibin and other eight people were rated as excellent. This was expected. No matter how they performed before, the eight of them rescued the people trapped in the factory that day. Soldier, this one service is enough. The two Xiao Cui who drove away early are still alive, which is good news. However, they did not pass the final exam and I heard that they do not plan to continue taking the exam.

Zheng Hengli looked at him with a strange look: "Do you really want to go back? Didn't mom ask you to drop out of school? You can offset your one-year voluntary labor with work points."

"It's okay, I want to go." Yu Heng continued to pack his things. He has graduated and his application to join the army has been approved. He can report to the army today. I heard that they will be incorporated into a new female corps. He raised his head and looked at Zheng Henli: "Is sister in love?"

When Leng Buding was asked this question, Zheng Hengli was startled and her eyes wandered: "Where is it? I don't have it."

"oh."

Seeing that her sister stopped asking, she wanted to say something more. "Ahem, um, you're not young anymore, you should talk about it when you see a suitable one. Like mom said, if it's suitable, just talk for a few years and you'll almost get married. Ahem, what mom said is right. of."

"I don't have that plan."

Before leaving, he said goodbye to Zheng's mother and agreed to come back every half month so that she wouldn't worry. Mother Zheng's face was full of helplessness: "Who do you have this temperament like? It would be nice if you and your eldest sister reconciled." One is too motivated and is not afraid of life and death, and the other is too lazy and greedy for life and is afraid of death. The former seems more dangerous, but in the long run, if you have the ability to save your life, you can always survive. Although the latter is comfortable for a while, he will have no ability in the future. What should he do if he encounters danger? She sighed: "She failed the make-up test the day before yesterday. I really don't know what book she is studying." She had also read the book. As long as she took the time to memorize it carefully, she could pass the test, but her eldest daughter had to make up the test three times. Which door is stuck, do you think it is irritating or not?

"Is sister in love?"

"Did you see it too?" Zheng's mother was worried again: "She's just stupid, thinking that no one else can see it. Forget it, I'll keep this in mind and won't let her be deceived." The eldest daughter was quite shrewd before, why is she so stubborn now? If you don't pay attention, you may be deceived.

Yu Heng went to school. He first went through the graduation procedures, then took his certificates and materials to the military headquarters to report and officially settled in the female soldier camp. After entering the camp, new training courses were also put on the agenda. The latest news about mutants kept coming in from the outside. The military headquarters was always the first to receive the news, and then adjusted the training programs in a timely manner.

In the new courses, close combat and spearmanship are more important courses, which are more complex and sophisticated than those learned in combat schools. If you are still laying the foundation in school, you are really risking your life in the camp.

He goes home once every half month and only has one day off. After meeting his relatives, he goes to the library to endorse books. Every time he meets Zeng Minghuan. Speaking of Zeng Minghuan, I saw him suddenly taking out gasoline that day. Although he didn't dare to ask on the spot, he couldn't help but ask after they returned to the safe area safely. Then he was hypnotized and changed that memory, turning it into something that was originally placed in the cab.

After that, he still came to him all the time and met him every time he went to the library. As for the confession - it was useless to refuse him several times. Yu Heng admired such a person very much. He was persistent and measured. He really couldn't give birth to him. Disgust.

Time passed quickly, two years passed, and Yu Heng reached the level of regiment leader in the female barracks. The reason why it can be so fast is also related to the composition of the female barracks. There are not many female soldiers joining the army. With so many positions released in the safe zone, joining the army is not the only way to go. Moreover, being a soldier these days means tying your head to your belt. In order to increase the survival rate of soldiers, the training is very rigorous and requires high personal qualities.

Due to various factors, the number of personnel has been slow to fill up. The female corps he is in is a new one and is not as good as another old female corps. The number of people is still not enough for the standard regiment. After he took over, the number of people counted was less than one. Thousands of people.

With fewer people, the competition is not that big. Plus, he has real experience as a soldier, so it will be easier to get ahead. After the female leader appointed by the superiors retired early due to injury when the regiment was established, he was It was the right time, the right place, the right people and the right people.

After becoming the group leader, various welfare subsidies were much better. He was assigned an independent house with two bedrooms and one living room. However, Zheng's mother was unwilling to move in. It was only after his repeated persuasion that she agreed to move in together. The dormitory building where the Zheng family originally lived has long been overcrowded. In such a dormitory area, there are many people and chaos, and there is no distance between people, which is more likely to cause conflicts. It is safer and more comfortable to live in an independent house.

The ones who moved in were Zheng's mother, Zheng Min and Liu Taotao. After moving in, Yu Heng applied for a bed at the logistics department. He slept in the smaller second bedroom and put the new bed in the master bedroom to make two beds, so that Zheng's mother, Zheng Min and her sister-in-law could live with their children.

"I wish your sister was as worry-free as you, alas." The younger daughter was capable and earned a house, which made it seem that the older daughter hurt her heart.

Here we have to talk about Zheng Hengli again. It turned out that she was in love with Fang Shiyu. It is said that they contacted before the two sisters entered the combat school. At that time, he and Zheng Hengli took turns to clean the house. On the day when Zheng Hengli was resting, Fang Shiyu came to thank her and gave gifts to thank her for saving her life a few months ago. She said that she was embarrassed to come to her house because she had nothing before, but now she has finally made a little career, so she hurried to find her benefactor.

"Will I believe this or will you believe it?" When Zheng's mother talked to Yu Heng about this, she was still angry. The reason was that Zheng Hengli believed it and was very moved. She gave her gun to the other party just because the other party said that he would go out to kill mutants, exchange for work points, and form a mercenary group in the future, etc. She wanted to support the other party's career.

"She is really stupid!"

How much is a gun worth! The husband had two guns with him, and after he disappeared, only the two daughters had one each. The stupid daughter gave it away like this and kept it a secret from her family. If Zheng Hengli had not failed the battle school exam for a long time and could not graduate, and said that she wanted to go to Fang Shiyu's hunting team to help and achieve success together, Zheng's mother would still be kept in the dark. At that time, Zheng's mother knew that her daughter had been in contact with Fang Shiyu, and the lover she had been hiding was Fang Shiyu. And the man with scheming and ambition written in his eyes? Oh my God! But I can't stop it, I really can't stop it.

"Don't be angry, mom. Big sister will figure it out later." Yu Heng comforted her, and then said, "I will be on a mission tomorrow. Mom, you and aunt can help me look after the house. The canteen is downstairs. Just say my name."

"...You must pay attention to safety. Don't worry, we can live well. There is a canteen downstairs? I don't know if they are still hiring. I will go and ask tomorrow."
