$387, Lilliput 15
The matter was decided, but before they left Huacheng, the sun stopped shining one day. It was clearly past the time for the sun to rise, and it was the earliest time for the sun to rise in the summer, but it was still dark outside at noon.
Climbing out of the cave, the familiar feeling of weakness and the negative emotions of disgust that emerged from the heart made Yu Heng feel very bad! The heavy fog came again! Both of them had experienced many battles, and they adjusted their bodies and minds after a while. Zheng Dong always remembered what the captain said to him: "Protect Mr. Peng." Now is the most dangerous time!
"Mr. Peng, we need to find a safe area and can't stay outside anymore!"
"That's right, the nearest safe area should be the Egret Base, let's go!" Before leaving the big team, Jiang Shujun had told him all the addresses of the safe areas in the country, which one was built based on the military region, which one was organized with the military factory as the core, and the scale and geometry were clearly stated.
Jiang Shujun also said that if you encounter difficulties and dangers, find a nearby place to settle down, and don't use your real name. If he didn't really regard himself as a junior of his family, Jiang Shujun wouldn't have said such a heartfelt word.
The predecessor of the Egret Base was the Egret Military Region, where 300,000 soldiers were stationed before the end of the world. Jiang Shujun said that there was an independent military factory in the military region that directly supplied weapons, so this base was established relatively quickly and was one of the fastest bases to search for survivors. In the previous mission of trapping foreign visitors, it was said to be the most effective. Jiang Shujun would be very excited every time he got news from other places. He brought the good results achieved by other compatriots to meetings to encourage the work morale of the armed police. After hearing so much, he also remembered this outstanding base.
He and Zheng Dong hurried and hurried, but still couldn't get to the Egret Base before the accident. Familiar aircraft began to appear frequently. In order not to make a louder noise, Yu Heng and Zheng Dong began to walk, which slowed down their speed even more.
"I think I heard the sound of a car, did you hear it?"
Yu Heng nodded: "I heard it too, it's at 2 o'clock, let's go and have a look."
They met a convoy of people from the Egret Base searching for survivors. The people in the convoy thought they were also survivors nearby, so they asked them to get in the car together. Zheng Dong suggested: "The car is too loud and it will easily attract attention. Why don't we just walk?"
"No, there are too many people. If we walk, we will easily get separated. It's okay. The car is faster and we can get back to the base faster. Hurry up and get in the car!"
Zheng Dong refused without Yu Heng saying anything, and even found a good excuse: "You go first, I'm going to pick up my mom at home. My home? It's far away! It's okay, you go first!"
Watching the convoy go away, Zheng Dong made a bitter face: "What should I do? I feel uneasy. But there are so many people and so many cars, the target is too big. There are only two of us, and we dare not drive."
Yu Heng also sighed: "Who knew it would be like this suddenly? The rescue convoy was stuck in the middle of the road. It's not easy to drive." Driving in the dark has its pros and cons, and it depends on luck and fate. He and Zheng Dong followed the convoy and were soon left behind. Now is not the time to pay attention to speed. Safety is the most important thing.
Even though they were hiding, they still ran into outsiders. He and Zheng Dong hid in a temporary pit. This pit should be left by the claws of a large animal, with obvious finger shapes. He cut off several leaves and covered it to avoid the light of the aircraft.
The two were exhausted and panting. They lay at the bottom of the pit and breathed in and out carefully. Yu Heng frowned and looked up suspiciously. Zheng Dong whispered: "Why do I feel that the top of my head is bright, as if there is light shining on us."
"I think so too."
Normally, these aircraft can only scan what can be seen directly. If they cover it up, they will not find it. However, the light shining through the layers of leaves above the head is not an illusion. Yu Heng climbed up and took a look. His heart sank. The aircraft was indeed parked above the pit, and the beam of light shone directly on the top of his head.
They were discovered!
He immediately made puppet substitutes. Five substitutes ran very fast under his command in five directions. As a result, the aircraft only moved a little and did not chase. This discovery made Yu Heng very alert. He said to Zheng Dong: "You also make five substitutes. Two stay where they are. Three run with us. After you go out, you go east and I go west. We will meet in the last men's toilet in the park in front!" After roughly explaining the plan, the two acted together.
Time waits for no one. The aircraft is here, and the outsiders will arrive soon.
Fortunately, the speculation is correct. The aircraft is still guarding the pit without moving. A beam of light appeared out of thin air in the darkness behind him. The beam of light is very similar to the lighting of the main performer on the stage, but it is more gorgeous. The light came down from the void, and there were golden light patterns flowing, which looked very beautiful. It is the teleportation array of the outsiders! It is something faster and more convenient than airplanes and high-speed trains.
In such a beautiful light array, the people who came out are a disaster for this world.
Yu Heng methodically took out the explosive drone from the storage ring, and began to control it by lying on the ground. The drone was only one millimeter in size, and when it flew in the air, it was less noticeable than a mosquito in the dark. This was improved by the military factory later, and he had the opportunity to make one himself, so he could use it endlessly.
He worked hard and controlled twenty of them at once, which can be said to be the largest number that can be controlled at the same time. The power of the explosion for a one millimeter drone is not small at all. When he made it himself, he changed the explosion procedure and the proportion of explosives, and added more ingredients of poisonous mist bombs.
Twenty drones quietly approached the light array, and when the figures gradually became clear from scratch, they pierced in and exploded together.
Bang bang bang!
The explosions in the darkness were intertwined with the screams of humans. Yu Heng looked calmly through the puppet substitute who stayed there, and saw two people staggering out of the light array. They cursed angrily and calmed down a little after watching the two prey caught in the pit.
"Ashri's new tracker does work, but it's so annoying! Those disgusting bugs, oh my God my skin is rotting, damn it!"
"Okay, don't be angry. At least we are still alive. I brought a recovery potion. Do you want it? Poor Lin and Yami, why did they die..."
"Let me catch them! Oh these annoying ugly vines, I'm going to burn them down!"
Yu Heng carefully went to the park that he had agreed with Zheng Dong, and it took seven days before he met up with Zheng Dong. Zheng Dong looked seriously injured: "If you encounter a group of rats, just give me a shot if it's okay."
Where can I just get injections? Yu Heng quickly helped him clean the wound, disinfect and sterilize it, and then give him a rabies vaccine. Asked him: "How many days have you been bitten?" "I can't remember clearly. It was so dark that I couldn't count the days." After hearing this, Yu Heng gave him some pills just in case.
"One more piece of bad news, Mr. Peng. I heard an explosion far away when I was hiding from mice. The sound lasted for a long time. Do you think something happened to the convoy?"
Yu Heng nodded: "I heard it too, it lasted for an hour."
The two fell into silence.
After that, it was time to recuperate from his injuries. He needed to pay attention to Zheng Dong's condition at all times and be especially careful if he had a fever. After four days, Zheng Dong's injury was considered to be 70 to 80% better, and then he planned to leave.
"The new tracking aircraft may have additional functions that were not available before, and we need to test them one by one."
It took more than half a month to use a puppet to conduct experiments outside. A large amount of data proved that after darkness fell this time, the tracking aircraft used by outsiders had indeed changed from shotguns to guns. The biggest difference is its ability to detect hidden survivors through surface coverings, something that never existed before.
Secondly, it has a target locking function. As long as it is sure that there are two people inside, it will not leave for a long time. Fortunately, there is a shortcoming. It cannot recognize the puppet double, and will only stubbornly guard "two people". This was also the reason why he and Zheng Dong were able to escape on behalf of Tao Zang that day. But there is no such thing as a puppet substitute! It's hard to tell.
In order to verify the impact of the thickness and density of the cover on the tracker, the two conducted another batch of experiments.
"I think this thing is more powerful than an infrared thermal imager! Aliens are just different." Zheng Dong muttered, "What principle does it use to judge? Radar?" Thermal imaging cannot pass through walls, and The outsider's tracker can locate prey under heavy walls. This discovery is too shocking. Are the various positions and obstructions of the current security bases useless in front of these trackers? Can it detect underground safe zones deep underground? These are serious issues.
"What is certain is that it did not have such a good function last time. This time they come again and are well prepared, and the tracking aircraft must have been improved. The worst result is that they have integrated our knowledge." Yu Heng speculated one by one.
Zheng Dong denied: "But they don't understand our words! Just like we don't understand their words, of course you are special. Think about it, you have taught us for so long, but we just can't learn it. Between the two languages There must be reproductive isolation! Even if they want to learn our language, it will definitely be difficult for them in a short time, let alone our military detection technology, which cannot be learned by reading. "
Can reproductive isolation be used in this way? Yu Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "Have you forgotten how many of us they arrested?"
Zheng Dong fell silent for a while, and it took him a long time to utter five words with difficulty: "That is treason."
"Come on, we're just speculating."
This speculation was not very good, and both of them fell to the bottom of their mood. "Hasn't the captain contacted you yet?"
Yu Heng shook his head: "No. It might be inconvenient for him there, so I didn't call him again." Before leaving, Jiang Shujun gave him a communicator. The signal was encrypted and only Jiang Shujun could receive it. The two parties agreed not to contact each other unless there was something extremely important, for fear of revealing Yu Heng's whereabouts.
Zheng Dong was worried: "Will something happen to the captain?"
Unable to contact Jiang Shujun, the two continued to the Bailu Base. Fortunately, he could provide countless puppet substitutes to explore the way, and they did not encounter insurmountable difficulties. Before arriving at the White Heron base, they encountered several overturned empty vehicles.
The car was a new mini-transport army model made after the apocalypse. It was covered with fallen leaves and the car was badly damaged. After Yu Heng checked it over, he looked at Zheng Dong and shook their heads together. They encountered such abandoned vehicles twice later. The closer they got to Bailu Base, the more uneasy Yu Heng felt. Fortunately, they finally arrived successfully.
Good news came one after another. When they decided to rest and then enter the base, the communication line that had not been opened for a long time was connected, and Jiang Shujun's voice appeared on the other side.
"Are you and Erdong okay? Now the outsiders are here again, the trackers are more powerful, and the means of attack are stronger than last time! The Nanheng Military Region was attacked, and even the newly built underground shelter was dug out! How are you? Ah?!"
"It's okay, we are fine, Brother Zheng has something to say to you."
Zheng Dong hurried over to talk: "Boss, I'm here! The mission went smoothly, Mr. Peng is healthy and alive, don't worry!"
Jiang Shujun laughed, and the fatigue between his eyebrows finally dissipated. He listened carefully to the movement outside, changed his posture and whispered: "Then I'm relieved. Erdong, Mr. Peng's safety depends on you. You listen to his command outside. Do you understand?"
"Got it, boss, don't worry!"
"Give the communicator to Mr. Peng, I'll take the time to tell him something."
"Okay."
Yu Heng took the communicator and began to listen to Jiang Shujun's faster tone of explanation. The first sentence he took was a thunderclap.
"Don't go to any base, not even to any base safe zone. The outsider specifically wants you!"
