Chapter 170
Ni Yangzhou woke up in a cold sweat.
Yin Jiazhu was sitting next to him, not saying a word. It was dark outside and a small candle was lit in the room.
The yellow-haired man who was tied up tightly was gone, and there were only Ni Yangzhou and Yin Jiazhu in the entire warehouse-like room.
"woke up?"
The man's face was in the darkness. As the voice moved, light and shadow swept across his nose and eyebrows, and a profound face emerged.
The words seemed familiar.
Ni Yangzhou rubbed his head which was as sticky as paste and asked in a mumbling voice, "Brother, how long have I slept?"
Yin Jiazhu glanced at his watch: "Six hours."
"this late?"
The young man raised his head from the pillow and nodded, then felt dizzy again, as if he was poured with cement, and lay back down heavily.
He seemed to have had a dream, but he could not remember the content of the dream at all.
Yin Jiazhu saw Ni Yangzhou's red face, reached out his hand, put it on his forehead, and frowned:
"No fever."
"Yes."
Ni Yangzhou looked at the man, "A human thermometer?"
Yin Jiazhu sat up straight: "You still have the mind to talk nonsense, Zhouzhou is very healthy."
Ni Yangzhou was lying on the bed, feeling dazed. The original owner's body was really not that good.
"What's the situation in the yard now? Have the people dealt with it?"
After Ni Yangzhou finished speaking, he realized that his words were ambiguous, so he changed his words:
"I mean, we're not going to have a conversation and someone suddenly comes in and kills us, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and Ni Yangzhou opened his eyes wide.
No, it just comes as it comes?
Yin Jiazhu didn't look surprised at all: "Come in."
Ni Yangzhou wanted to get out of bed, but he was too weak and could only stick his head out to look outside.
I hadn't seen anyone yet, but I could hear the sound of leather boots hitting the ground, each step was solid and steady.
"Hello, Comrade Ni."
A man wearing a gray-brown hat walked up to me. He had a square face, dark skin, spoke standard Mandarin, and stood straight.
This posture...
"Ah, hello, who are you?"
"Bai Xinrui, captain of the 12th team of the National Emergency Rescue Bureau's Special Operations Team."
Ni Yangzhou smoothed over the overly long name, and this time he was truly surprised.
“National team?”
The apocalypse plot has only been going on for a month, and the national team is on the field? So soon? The protagonist hasn't even been seen yet, so the plot line won't ruin itself, right?
"You can say that."
"Captain Bai, then you..."
Ni Yangzhou looked at Yin Jiazhu who was sitting firmly on the throne, and then at Bai Xinrui who had a righteous look on his face.
"It happened by chance."
The man finally spoke up to explain his confusion.
Ni Yangzhou hummed awkwardly.
Bai Xinrui took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Boss Yin has already told me that it is thanks to your enthusiasm, kindness, and public-spiritedness that the survivors here were saved from suffering. On behalf of the country, thank you for your contribution!"
Ni Yangzhou was embarrassed by the compliment, and just shook his hand back, "It's what enthusiastic citizens should do. Since the government has already sent a rescue team, when will they take over? The other soldiers are having dinner, and I see that their storage is in this room. Let's..."
Bai Xinrui interrupted Ni Yangzhou's attempt to get up and find food: "All members of Group 12 have died. I am the only one left. I have contacted the military and am waiting for news. I was rescued by Comrade Yin on the way, so I can stand here and talk."
After a few words, the smile on Ni Yangzhou's face faded, and he asked, "You must be very skilled. You suffered huge losses in the fierce battle, but your clothes are still as clean as new, and there is no sign of any wounds."
Bai Xinrui did not have any complaints about being suspected: "The mission within the group is confidential, but there is some information that can be shared. We need to split up and I am the only survivor on the other path."
Ni Yangzhou turned his gaze to Yin Jiazhu's face, and the other nodded.
The young man apologized: "I'm sorry, Captain Bai, it's just that the situation is special now."
Bai Xinrui nodded: "I totally understand."
In fact, when he himself was rescued by Yin Jiazhu, he also held a skeptical attitude.
Later, when he arrived in the village, it was a mother with a child who dispelled his doubts.
"Captain Bai, I want to ask you if the country's rescue has been launched yet? Which cities have been covered? What are the good ways to deal with the alien plants? How can ordinary people get safety and food?"
This information is not only related to everyone's actual survival in the end times, Ni Yangzhou also hopes to deduce the plot through this.
"Captain Bai has told me everything. I will explain it to you later. Zhou Zhou, let Captain Bai take a rest first."
Yin Jiazhu interrupted, and Ni Yangzhou then noticed that there was a dark circle under Bai Xinrui's eyes, and his eyeballs were covered with bloodshot. He looked like he hadn't slept for several days.
"I'm fine." Bai Xinrui smiled, and his face no longer looked so serious, but rather a bit handsome in a naive way.
"No, no, no, big brother, just tell me. Go and get some rest first. It would be a shame for a good citizen to disturb the most lovely person."
After much persuasion and invitation, Bai Xinrui was finally persuaded to leave. Ni Yangzhou fell down with his half-supported body, and he and Yin Jiazhu were the only ones left in the room.
The man first put a pillow under Ni Yangzhou, then sat down beside the bed and began to slowly explain the situation.
It turned out that after Ni Yangzhou went to sleep, Yin Jiazhu inspected the situation, locked the door of the main courtyard tightly, and led Huangmao out of the door. There were no leftover refugees in the village. The leading man was very domineering. He had become an emperor in the small village for more than ten days. All those who did not obey his orders would be fed radishes or executed. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were uniformly distributed. Ni Yangzhou and his men arrived at the right time, and they had just finished their patrols in groups, so they caught them all in one fell swoop.
Apart from the alien plant radish that actively attacks people, they had not explored the area outside the village. Yin Jiazhu did not completely trust Huangmao's words, and only explored the area briefly before returning. Who would have thought that while walking on the road, he saw a fruit rolling down from the top of the mountain and barely stopped on the road. It was not a small fruit, but a huge, golden, hollow rambutan with the scent of roses.
There was an unusual movement inside, so Yin Jiazhu cut open the fruit and let Bai Xinrui out, gasping for breath.
"Oh, Momotaro."
Ni Yangzhou mentally added a special effect for Bai Xinrui that seemed like he popped out of a fruit.
Yin Jiazhu glanced at the young man casually, and the latter zipped up his lips to indicate that he was listening quietly.
Momotaro Bai Xinrui's teammates were crushed into pulp by the roots of the hollow sycamore tree, with no room for resistance or rescue. The rest of the teammates did not elaborate and acted separately. From the latest contact information, they have all died.
Ni Yangzhou listened and subconsciously pinched the bed sheet with his hands.
Yin Jiazhu looked at the gradually tightening hand and continued, "At present, the rescue forces are concentrated in the capital and densely populated areas. Thermal weapons will be used directly to deal with the alien plants. The harmful giant plants will be burned and disinfected. Some new chemical agents have been developed to deal with them. Helicopters have been sent to spray and disinfect, but resources are limited, and most areas have not been involved yet."
As Ni Yangzhou listened, he became confused: "Is there no publicity or notification? Now that the action has already begun, why do we still want the people to kill each other like headless flies?"
"The signal is gradually being restored. Some radio stations can receive emergency notifications issued by the country and broadcast messages. Order has been established in places with relatively complete infrastructure."
"We have a radio station, don't we?"
Yin Jiazhu nodded: "Too old."
Ni Yangzhou thought of the old appearance of the radio station and said "hmm". If it is not updated, it will not keep up with the wheel of the times.
"Hey, that's not right."
Ni Yangzhou suddenly realized what was happening and asked anxiously, "How could Secretary Tang not know? Did he know but didn't he tell you?"
Yin Jiazhu lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Ni Yangzhou, like a ghost seeking revenge, stretched his head in front of Yin Jiazhu's lowered face, stared into his eyes, with some anger on his face.
"You knew it a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?"
