Settled in the sweet spot

The two men were driven away, and the leaflets were almost distributed. The special security team sat in the cold drink shop and turned on the air conditioner.

They don't want wages, so the shop owner treats them to cold drinks.

Just as the iced milk tea was ready, An Xu received a call from Jian Zhao, with an extremely serious tone.

"An earthquake occurred in the southwest of Xiushui. A scientific research team of ours has secretly completed all the reactor tests in the mountains, and lost contact with the scientific research base on the way down the mountain. Now a large force has rushed to the earthquake area for rescue.

Find the scientific research team to safely escort them and the research results to the special security team, where is your team leader? !"

An Xu lied casually, "He Zheng went to the police force, so he must be busy so he didn't answer the phone."

"Scientific research results are very important, and relevant departments are eagerly waiting for them. This matter is extremely urgent.

There are deep mountains over there, and mudslides and landslides are frequent. Let the rest be put aside beforehand. The helicopter to pick you up has already set off, so act now. "

An Xu looked serious, "Understood."

"Please pay attention to safety. Your equipment has been put on the helicopter, and the slogan of the scientific research team is "Mountain Rabbit". There are seven people in total, and the captain's surname is Huang.

The helicopter will fly to the coordinate point where the radar of the base disappeared after receiving the last use of the satellite phone by the scientific research team. After you land, remember to send the positioning to the nearest base station every half hour. "

"Yes, I'll tell them."

Before hanging up the phone, Jian Zhao told An Xu, "Be sure to come back alive, not one less."

"...I know, Uncle Jane."

……

The helicopter floated on the racecourse, Tang Sancai opened the cabin door, and He Zheng's eyes were extremely dark.

"Uncle Pei, I have a job, so I'm leaving."

"be safe."

He Zheng ran over without looking back, and climbed into the cabin along the ladder thrown from the plane.

Pei Xiang, who was sitting under the parasol, watched the plane close the hatch with a smile on its face, and Weng Ming flew away until it disappeared into the black clouds in the southwest.

The six of them were not the only ones performing the mission this time. Sixi also joined the team. She is a serious military dog, and has qualified for skydiving by virtue of her strength. Now she is fully armed and lying in the cabin.

The equipment of the special security team is very simple, a combat camouflage jacket, a fluorescent orange life-saving vest, military boots, a helmet, a parachute bag, and a rucksack containing a medical kit and dry food for individual soldiers.

There was a lot of noise in the cabin. They put on camouflage, hung rucksacks on their chests, and carried an umbrella bag on their shoulders. An Xu's injured left arm was reinforced by Feng Suizi on the road. It was about to land, and the cabin door was already open.

An Xu sat by the cabin door. He looked down through the thin clouds, the vast land, the black-blue mountains, the rivers with glowing water, and the 6.5-magnitude earthquake. He couldn't imagine what the situation is like below.

The helicopter descended and hovered at the last coordinate point where the scientific research team disappeared. The special security team followed He Zheng and stood up. They grabbed the assistant on the hatch door, and after He Zheng checked the umbrella bag, they jumped neatly and flew down with open limbs. .

An Xu was behind them, He Zheng fastened his helmet, checked the umbrella bag once, and asked him one more question.

"Ever parachuted before?"

An Xu pulled down the goggles on his helmet and hung them on his face, Chao He gave a thumbs up to indicate skipping.

Although, at that time, it was a flower umbrella.

He Zheng then also raised his thumbs towards him, patted An Xu's umbrella bag, and watched An Xu fly out with the correct posture and parachute with Sixi.

The helicopter rose and flew to the county town in the southeast of Xiushui for support.

The six round umbrellas were successfully opened, like white dandelions floating in the sky, and the special security team landed precisely at the coordinate point. This place has become a barrier lake, and mudslides come as soon as they are said.

The entire mountain was turned upside down, the original landform was completely covered, the magnetic field in the mountain was also in chaos, the compass was wobbly, and the signal phone in his hand became a brick.

Under their feet and around them, as long as they can see, there are all big or small stones, broken trunks and branches. It should have been raining abnormally before they came here, and the feet were extremely muddy. Because of the earthquake, bugs, big and small, were uneasy climb out.

"Line up in a line and look for the water source. The big dragon will leave a mark behind." He Zheng walked to the front of the line and took out the engineer shovel hanging from his rucksack to clear the way.

Shen Long walked silently at the back, picking up branches as thick as fingers, breaking them into sticks and sticking them on the side of the road they walked by.

"Mountain rabbit!"

"Mountain rabbit!"

"Mountain rabbit..."

The cries one after another did not echo in the broken valley, at most aroused one or two birds that had lost their nests and perched on the stones.

The special security team followed the water source to look for it down the mountain. Jian Zhao said that the scientific research team encountered an earthquake on the way down the mountain with the successful test results.

But three hours later, it was almost dark, and there was still no one. On the contrary, the voice of the special security team was about to hoarse.

He Zheng took off the high beam on the side of his helmet, and shone it in all directions, his voice raised, "Mountain rabbit!"

"Kacha", the sound of branches snapping, the surrounding rocks began to loosen, Xie Xiaoshan was a little weaker, he put his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

Suddenly, the boulder under his feet softened, and the nearby muddy ground sank in one direction. With Xie Xiaoshan's exclamation, the muddy ground sucked his calf down like a cannibal.

"Brother Xiaolong!"

"Ha... ouch!" Sixi howled to the sky.

Shen Long, who was standing on a big rock, turned his head abruptly, "Xiaoshan!"

A pair of powerful hands grabbed Xie Xiaoshan, but he could clearly feel that Xie Xiaoshan was being sucked down by the mud!

"Xiaoshan!" The special security team went to pull people one after another, and Sixi turned around anxiously, her tail never stopping for a moment.

It's a mudslide! Xie Xiaoshan happened to be standing right there.

No matter how Shen Long tried to pull Xie Xiaoshan out, he was in a hurry, and was about to jump to Xie Xiaoshan's side to "pull" him out of the mud vortex, when He Zheng called him to stop.

"Throw the rucksack over there!"

Tang Sancai and Feng Suizi hurriedly took off their rucksacks, jammed them around Xie Xiaoshan's legs and threw them on the sinking muddy ground, all the rucksacks were completely on the ground.

The speed of Suanyan's sucking of sand and sand slowed down, and Shen Long stepped on the mountain rucksack and "pulled" Xie Xiaoshan out forcefully.

At this time, the nearby mudslide gradually expanded, and the stones on the mountain rolled down like rushing for gold.

"Run this way!"

He Zheng pulled An Xu who was beside him and pushed him to his left. Everyone ran one after another, but they couldn't retrieve their rucksacks. When they turned back, the place just now was covered by rocks and sand.

Night surrounded the entire mountain, and the Te'an team walked another five kilometers along the water source. The bright white high-beam lights penetrated the vast blue mountains and fields, and no one was seen.

When he was officially tired, An Xu looked to the left side of the empty space as if he had sensed something, and finally.

"Fire!" He hurriedly called He Zheng, "There is fire below!"

He Zheng looked over, An Xu leaned over and shouted, "Mountain rabbit!"

In the distance, there was a response from the faint light of the fire, and the special security team regained their spirits and hurried down the mountain.

"Wow woof! woof woof!"

Sixi, who was wearing two pairs of small leather boots, teamed up faster, and they finally met Huoguang. It turned out that there was a cave nearby, and the seven members of the scientific research team were hiding in it.

It was completely dark, and the silence was so chilling.

"Rest in the cave for one night, and go down the mountain to the county seat tomorrow morning." He Zheng ordered calmly.

Captain Huang, who led the team, handed over their research results over the past year to He Zheng.

"You came so fast, our people are ready to be found two days later."

He Zheng took the backpack containing the information, "Our backpack is gone, and the map is also lost. How far is it from here to the nearest county town? My team and I are responsible for escorting you until you get on the plane."

"Forty kilometers. Although our base is at the foot of the mountain, it has been completely destroyed by mudslides. We can only go to a small town forty kilometers away."

Forty kilometers, if there is no accident, if you are in good health, you will need to walk for at least ten hours.

He Zheng was planning in his mind, and took a look into the cave. There were four men and two women, and two of them were elderly professors.

He said in a heavy tone, "Have you brought dry food? Where's the water?"

Stationmaster Huang immediately understood what he meant, "We have two compressed biscuits for each of us, and we will share one for each of us. The water can be used to drink outside."

He Zheng nodded his thanks, "Everyone rest early, tomorrow's journey will be very hard."

"Okay we both understand."

In the cave, a female doctor was slightly injured on the head, and Feng Suizi was bandaging her with the only remaining first aid kit carried by Sixi.

Tang Sancai brought Sixi back from drinking water outside, and now he and An Xu took off his little boots, and worked together to massage Sixi's dog's paws.

There were many mud spots on the camouflage uniform. He took out his pockets out of habit, but the pockets of his trousers were empty. There was no cigarette, let alone a lighter.

At five o'clock the next day, they set off. The research team's kettle was filled with mountain water with silt all the way, and they ate compressed biscuits bit by bit.

It took seven hours to go halfway through the journey, = the scientific research team got used to going up and down the mountain, their physical strength was not bad, but they were not as good as the Tean team, sitting on a big rock to rest, An Xu put more than half of the compressed biscuits in the palm of his hand and fed Sixi.

The biscuit is processed by a special process, and it will not deteriorate and expire after three years. The taste is correspondingly unpalatable, dry and rough, and the hardness is comparable to that of a weight. Sixi finally gnawed off a piece with sharp canine teeth, and the end of the biscuit stuck in his throat Eye.

"Ha, ha," Sixi opened her mouth and made a coughing sound.

He Zheng pinched the back of Sixi's neck to make him drink water, and forced him to eat biscuits after drinking the water. If he was exhausted, Sixi might not be able to go back with them.

Seeing the big golden retriever eating obediently despite its reluctance, An Xu stroked its furry head affectionately.

There was another mudslide during the journey, but fortunately there was no danger, He Zheng forced Sixi to eat most of the biscuits, and they finally reached the county seat at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Regardless of bungalows or small villas, they all collapsed like building blocks, and the entire street was "occupied" by broken walls and bricks.

The scene shocked everyone. Under such an impact, the foot injury with bleeding blisters did not seem to be a pain.

Passing through the destroyed houses and walking to the open space in the center of the county, the neat rows of rescue tents are particularly conspicuous.

The rescue force was already in place! The People's Liberation Army, who was in the same outfit as the special security team, carried stretchers in and out of the tents, and they walked quickly.

The time of the earthquake was in the evening, and the casualties could barely be called rare.

However, almost all the houses that cannot support the county are self-built houses, and they are backed by mountains and rivers. Aftershocks and landslides have aggravated the disaster.

Seeing the special security team, a soldier with a red armband ran to their side, and the two sides checked, and they turned out to be acquaintances.

"Squad leader!"

He Zheng raised his head. It was the armored soldier who sent Tong Yi into the police force last time.

"When did you arrive?"

"This morning!" the armored soldier was very happy to see them, "Xiushui, who we came yesterday, rushed here overnight, and the road was cleared in the middle to come to the rescue."

He looked at the special security team and the scientific research team with tired faces, and turned to greet his soldiers.

A private ran over to call the armored company commander, and the company commander asked him to take He Zheng and his party to eat something first, then turned to face He Zheng.

"Squad leader, my name is Zheng Yi. The rescuers here are all soldiers from our company. If you need anything, just ask them."

The special security team and Zheng Yi briefly exchanged names, and Zheng Yi immediately led people to rescue people non-stop. After He Zheng settled the scientific research team, he took him to rest for a while.

The tents were full of people, some soldiers were clearing the road to build tents, and the homeless residents lined up for dinner.

The two soldiers who were cooking rice had worn out their leather belts and blisters on their hands. They were obviously exhausted, but they still insisted on smiling at the residents who received the rice and told them that the house would be repaired soon.

The special security team sat on the edge of a tent, each carrying a bucket of instant noodles and an instant chicken leg.

An Xu was about to put a brace on his left arm regardless of Sanqi 21, but his injury was not healed at all, and He Zheng gave him a black face to stop him.

He Zheng was holding a bucket of instant noodles for An Xu to eat, and looked at the others.

"Other rescue teams will not be able to support them for a while. After eating, Suizi will go to the medical team, and everyone will help save people."

They all meant the same thing. He Zheng's chicken legs were fed to Sixi for a simple dinner.

Houses collapsed, and in some cases, rocks and mud rolled down from the mountain buried those who did not escape.

The two cranes worked non-stop for 24 hours, and the special security team and the rescue force also did not sleep a night.

There is also an elementary school in this county. During the earthquake, the students were eating. The three-story building was rickety, and the children who didn't run out were crushed inside.

The condition of the elementary school is poor, it is sandwiched between the houses, there is no playground, the crane cannot enter, and the collapsed and broken buildings are troublesome.

He Zheng and the others moved rocks and pried slabs with bare hands, accompanied by the heart-piercing cries of children throughout, which made people despair.

The rescue work continued for two days without stopping, and finally turned this small county town upside down.

An Xu and the others picked out three children and two elderly people with their own hands. No one could tell what it was like to touch the gray and cold skin with warm hands.

The men, women and children in the county were satisfied with food and clothing. An Xu and his team followed Zheng Yi to the next earthquake area to support. The elites of the special security team were now disheveled and exhausted.

But God didn't intend to let them rest. There were two aftershocks, and the town, which was twice as large as before, was even more chaotic. There were still many people buried under the collapsed houses.

The limited manpower was so busy that Sixi's nails were worn off all over again. This was a war more grueling than guns.

Under the big poplar tree, Shen Long and Xie Xiaoshan stood on the truck to distribute relief supplies. An Xu only had one hand to move. He couldn't move the big rock, so he took Sixi everywhere to search for the living under the ruins or to replace the medical team. Hold up the dropper bottle.

Now that the medical team is temporarily resting, An Xu came to get some food, and happened to run into He Zheng who was walking across.

The high-intensity physical labor and mental blows seriously overwhelmed their bodies, and the two of them were a little swaying when they walked, and An Xu tried to squeeze out a naughty smile.

"I feel that my soul and my body, one went to the Yangguan Road, and the other went to the single-plank bridge, and no one cares about the other."

He Zhenggang came over from the rescue team. They were desperate to save people quickly. Just now, he climbed into the window of a bungalow to save people. superior.

Half of the back was bleeding between the shoulder blades, dyeing the already sweaty camouflage uniform a very dirty color.

When the two came to the truck, Xie Xiaoshan brought them two bottles of water and four biscuits. An Xu sat down on the big medical kit as a bench and swallowed the biscuits with water.

This batch of supplies was brought in yesterday. Most of the biscuits are so-called cream sandwich biscuits mixed with flavors. They don't taste very good, but they are much better than compressed biscuits.

He Zheng swallowed the biscuits and water into his stomach repeatedly, and his back felt a sharp pain.

There is no condition to take a shower here, the clothes sent are barely enough for the victims, their lips are pale, He Zheng stands up patiently, An Xu wants to go with him.

They turned around and just took two steps when Shen Long on the truck behind them called to stop them.

Everyone has been dark for the past few days. I don't know if it's because I don't have time to wash my face or dry it out. It's been raining all the time.

With sweat on his face, Shen Long threw a biscuit and a bottle of water to He Zheng, and He Zheng put them into An Xu's medical kit.

Shen Long said to them: "Don't be so desperate."

An Xu smiled, "Understood, you too."

After speaking, they left side by side.

Walking along two small roads, An Xu suddenly stopped at a house next to the second floor. They were very close to the house, and the door on the first floor was almost intact.

After sniffing it hard, An Xu walked inside, "There is someone."

It's the smell of blood.

When investigating Tong Yi's case a while ago, in order to imitate the process of Cheng Ang and Tong Yi's crime, An Xu took a needle from the Feng Suizi Clinic to secretly draw some blood from himself. The smell was enough for him to keep a special memory.

He Zheng's eyes lit up, and he followed An Xu. Just as he stepped on the threshold, the seemingly intact first floor roof suddenly stepped down.

"An Xu!"

Rumbling, darkness before An Xu felt like he was crawling on flat ground.

There was warm breathing on the back of his neck, and when he raised his head, the back of his head hit the bridge of the nose of the man on him.

"He Zheng?"

"Your left hand."

"I'm fine." An Xu propped himself on the ground with one hand.

"..."

"Can we get up? Are we being suppressed..."

Before the words were finished, the ground trembled, and more bricks and tiles could only be heard collapsing.

Aftershocks lasted about 20 seconds.

But An Xu was safe and sound, except that He Zheng's body was pressed against his back just now.

"He Zheng! How many things are on your body?" An Xu felt as if his body was covered with ice.

"...not much, there is a shoe cabinet next to it, but we are buried."

In fact, it was a whole piece of cement floor slab that covered the roof, weighing about 150 kilograms. After the aftershock, about half of the roof was completely pressed against the floor slab. He Zheng estimated that it weighed about [-] kilograms.

"You must be lying to me." An Xu lowered his arms and wanted to turn over, but found that the narrow gap between them did not allow him to turn around.

"Crawl well." The man's voice was low and hoarse, full of patience.

He Zheng lay firmly on An Xu's body to support the weight on his back. An Xu knew that the problem was not easy, but he had no way out.

The medical kit was still at hand, An Xu held the medical kit with one hand and tried to hold it aside, but his efforts were in vain.

"Come on!!"

"is there anybody!!"

"Help!!"

No one responded, this area is a bit remote, and the rescue team is in the middle school and hospital on the other side of the town.

An Xu continued to call for help, tired of shouting and lay down under He Zhenghuai to rest for a while, when he was about to call again, a small voice like a meow came from not far behind the two of them.

"uncle……"

It was a child with a baby voice, and the distance between them was about five or six meters.

An Xu paused in his heart, and the smell of fresh blood became stronger. The child must have suffered from bleeding somewhere.

At this moment, he could hardly speak.

Waste Li swallowed his saliva, "Little friend, uncle...uncle will come to rescue you right away."

It should be a little boy, and it took a while for An Xu to finish speaking before asking him in a weak voice.

"Why hasn't my mother come here yet?"

"Your mother, what did she do?" An Xu's voice trembled, and He Zheng listened silently to his conversation with the child.

"My mother went to do the laundry."

An Xu's heart skipped a beat, it's over, he thought.

"Uh...clothes...the clothes haven't been washed yet, your mother will come over after washing."

After such a long time, according to the pattern of this house, the child's mother is probably gone.

And the smell of blood on the little boy's body became stronger... An Xu could hardly imagine the reason.

"uncle……"

"I'm here, baby, what do you want to say to... what do you want to say to uncle?"

"My neck hurts."

A wave of heat fell on the back of He Zheng's hand, and he heard An Xu sniff his nose.

"Baby...baby..."

"My neck is bleeding, glass touched my neck..."

That should be the glass that was shaken down by the aftershock just now, An Xu thought distressedly.

"Baby... wait for uncle for a while... hang on, uncle will call someone to save you in no time."

After finishing speaking, An Xu cried for help hysterically. There was an impenetrable distance between them and the child, and he only hoped that someone could hear their cry for help.

Later, He Zheng also smelled the smell of blood, and An Xu shouted even more heart-piercingly, but perhaps only souls were floating on the empty ruins.

And after that, An Xu called the little boy again but didn't get a response.

"The aorta in the neck is bleeding, it's hopeless." He Zheng told the truth in a cold voice.

An Xu was annoyed, blamed himself, and in pain, but he just couldn't save people.

After a long time, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Blame me, I didn't save him, and I got you involved."

"Don't talk nonsense, save your energy."

"You must have a lot on your back."

He Zheng was silent.

The aftershock covered the gap that could have allowed light to pass through, and the two were trapped in the dark. In this way, after a night, no one came to rescue them.

Guessing that it was the next day, and there was still no one visiting the silent ruins, An Xu called the little boy many times at night, and he finally convinced himself that the boy was no longer there.

The space for the two of them to move became smaller, and An Xu's right hand couldn't support the ground. He Zheng "hugged" him tighter and tighter. An Xu could only crawl on the ground, unable to move his right hand.

"Goo~"

An Xu's empty stomach protested like thunder, and then He Zheng opened the medical box next to him with his hand, followed by the sound of tearing open a biscuit bag.

The biscuits exuding strawberry essence were the only life-saving water in the desert, because An Xu couldn't move his hands, He Zheng fed them directly into his mouth.

After swallowing the first piece and feeding the second and third piece, An Xu turned his face away.

"You eat too."

The man kept silent, put away the biscuits and put them in the medical box, then unscrewed the water to feed An Xu.

An Xu finally noticed something was wrong, he asked He Zheng seriously.

"What do you want?"

The man finally said, "Live for me, after you get out, the special security team..."

"What bullshit are you talking about!"

"According to scientific probability, you survived..."

"According to scientific probability, modern people can live to be a hundred years old!"

An Xu was very angry, "Why don't you want to live?! We can all survive! Sixi smells it, and someone will come to save you and me soon!"

He Zheng was too lazy to argue with An Xu, he just did what he wanted, squeezed An Xu's cheek with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth and pour water into it, just like forcing Sixi to eat compressed biscuits.

An Xu wanted to struggle, but he was a little bit reluctant to part with the precious water, so he swallowed the water obediently.

He Zheng was ready for a protracted battle, the biscuits and water couldn't be eaten all at once, and when he screwed on the lid, An Xu's profile came up.

The dry lips became soft after being moistened by the water, and they rubbed against their lips with moisture, and the tongue pushed away while the jaw was unprepared, and the sweet mineral water tightened the mouth.

Mixed with sweet strawberry flavor.

He Zheng was completely sneaked by An Xu, and all the big mouthful of water was sent into his mouth.

This was An Xu's first kiss, and also He Zheng's first kiss. The two men, whose combined age was exactly fifty, were doing the sweetest thing in the world between lovers in this narrow gap.

As the lips parted from the lips, He Zheng was still a little overwhelmed.

"I want to eat cookies."

Obviously "I want to kiss you".

……

The author has something to say: Apologize first, and say sorry to everyone. I only read Weibo after the update last night, and learned that there was another earthquake in Yibin and other places.

It is really a coincidence that my update today happened to include the content of the earthquake. It is really a coincidence that writing such content was really planned in my outline long ago. [There is an outline and a mobile phone memo to testify for me]

Although everything in the article is fictitious, I am still afraid of writing sensitively. After all, it is a disaster. I hope everyone can understand what I mean.

If there are any readers who feel uncomfortable after reading this, I would like to say sorry to you again. If there are any cuties in the earthquake area, I hope you, your family and friends are safe, and I also pray that the people in the earthquake area are safe.

Hey, I hope the above is my overthinking, but this is the second time this has happened (wry smile).In my outline, the method of He Zheng's proposal was also "preempted" by the White Horse Club on Weibo. Incident 2333 [Hey, I seem to have spoiled something...]

PS: No abuse, trust me, love everyone! !good night＾3＾

pps: Thank you "College Entrance Countdown" for the nutrient solution x 15, thank you "κiξsㄚòひ" for feeding mines, I forgot to mention it a few times ago, thank you for your support!
