16 years

Liu Ruosong kicked the door of the storage room of the development unit, looked around inside, but didn't see the target, so he turned his head and shouted at Shao Qiu.

"Not here." Liu Ruosong said.

Holding the gun in his hand, Shao Qiu glanced back at him, said nothing, but raised his hand and gestured "return to the team" to him.

Liu Ruosong nodded slightly, and cautiously retreated to the middle of the line, standing with Yao Tu.

Soon, He Feng signaled from the other side, indicating that the search was fruitless and Fu Yan was not there.

The special operations team was well-disciplined and had enough reserves in their hands. Unlike Fu Yan who needed to live economically, he walked in through the main entrance openly, and after making sure that there was no one alive in the hall, he raised his hand and swept the shuttle outside.

Assault rifles are extremely lethal at close range, Shao Qiu went down, and a full third of the zombies in the room fell.

The layout of the first floor is different from that of the second floor. The second floor is an entire large supermarket, but half of the first floor is sold to shops. They are separated from each other, and it is very difficult to search.

Shao Qiu and He Tang were in charge of cleaning up the zombies in the middle for cover. He Feng and Liu Ruosong searched around from left to right, but they didn't see Fu Yan's shadow.

Liu Ruosong was in the middle of the team with Yao Tu, he glanced sideways, and frowned at the rotten smell in the room.

"Will it take a while?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"Soon." Yao Tu said.

Yao Tu held the box in his hand, and the positioning point on the screen was turning in a circle. Liu Ruosong stared at the screen, always feeling that the efficiency of that thing was deadly low.

Perhaps the machine heard his voice, the buffer circle on the screen paused for a moment, and then two new coordinates were displayed.

Very close, at the coordinate point where they are, the straight line distance is five meters six.

Liu Ruosong subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, He Tang put on the safety, put the gun on his shoulder with one hand, and muttered casually: "I knew I should hang it up to the second floor, wasting a lot of bullets."

"Thousands of money are hard to buy." He Feng touched her head with a smile, and said, "The escalator to go upstairs is on the right."

Unlike Fu Yan who accidentally bumped in, Liu Ruosong knew the situation here from the moment he entered Lincheng - this large supermarket is only one street away from the gymnasium, and it is the largest comprehensive supermarket nearby. There must have been many people who have entered here, either looking for water, or wanting to occupy a safe and secure place to stay.

Facts have proved that the actual situation is similar to Liu Ruosong's imagination.

Clearing up all the zombies in the supermarket was obviously not a good deal, so the action team withdrew as they walked, and quickly lined up to the second floor on the condition of self-protection.

The second floor was tossed by Fu Yan for a while before, and there were many zombie corpses lying on the ground, and the rest were gathered in large groups. Some were greedy for Fu Yan's blood on the ground, wandering anxiously near the shelves.

He Tang took the lead, and when he saw this, he made a "spread away" gesture, and walked towards the left with the gun in his hand.

Along the way, Liu Ruosong was already quite used to their way of action, so he didn't say much when he saw this, and consciously spread out to the right, keeping Shao Qiu, He Feng and Yao Tu as cover.

During those days of wandering in no man's land, Liu Ruosong sometimes felt that there might be a kind of connection between people.

He once got lost in the Altun Mountains, with only a 12-year-old son from a local guide by his side. The child had only been up the mountain twice in total, and he could neither remember the way nor read the compass, and even needed Liu Ruosong to take him out.

At that time, Liu Ruosong walked with him for eight hours, referring to the map and the half-abandoned compass, surrounded by high mountains, and had no intention of leaving the no-man's land at all.

He originally thought that he was only one breath away from confessing, but who knew that as he was walking, the little boy suddenly turned his head and walked in another direction as if he was blessed with happiness.He walked resolutely and quickly, and Liu Ruosong was pulled away by him before he had time to ask. It turned out to be a coincidence or something, but 10 minutes later, they actually bumped into the guide who was looking for them on the mountain road.

Afterwards, Liu Ruosong asked the little boy, who knew that the other party's answer was very stream-of-consciousness, "I don't know the way, but I can feel Dad's breath."

At that time, Liu Ruosong only thought that this was a special function of some ethnic minorities, but unexpectedly, he also experienced what it felt like today.

Holding the gun, he swiftly and cautiously walked around a group of zombies behind the shelves. He fired three or four shots during the process, but they were all covered by the gunfire of the assault rifle, and not many zombies paid attention to him.

Liu Ruosong walked around the shelves, searching for the architectural layout drawings that he had hurriedly read before coming here. He was distracted when he heard a gunshot next to his ear, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He looked back. , a zombie's head was cracked, its eyes were empty and it stretched out its hand at him, and it couldn't move anymore.

At first he thought it was Shao Qiu who fired from a distance, but when he raised his head, he suddenly froze.

Across three or four rickety shelves and a few zombies lying on the ground moving forward, Fu Yanzheng was standing more than ten meters away, watching him quietly.

His left hand was hanging by his side, and his right hand was holding the gun. The burn mark after shooting was still far away. Seeing Liu Ruosong's eyes looking over, he pursed his lips and gave him a soothing smile.

At that moment, Liu Ruosong suddenly felt that there might be such a thing as "telepathy" in the world.

Otherwise, as soon as this person appeared, all his eyesight and feelings were occupied by the other party - he could even read all the meanings of Fu Yan from this gaze without any hindrance, including his comfort, relaxation, and faint sorry.

Liu Ruosong's mind was blank, and the fear and fear that had lasted for several days surged up in his brain, drowning him in an instant.

He was terrified and uneasy, and the nightmares he had these days also came to his door, insisting on him to give an explanation.

Liu Ruosong couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only "throw" them to Fu Yan to deal with them like every time in the past.

So he put away the gun with his backhand, and ran towards Fu Yan with a clear goal - he could only see Fu Yan for a while, so he didn't have time to pay attention to the surrounding environment.Fu Yan shot two jumping zombies for him, and ran towards him with a gentle gaze.

Liu Ruosong jumped over the collapsed shelf lightly, and bumped into Fu Yan's arms firmly, wrapping his arms around his waist.

Fu Yan wrapped his right hand around his back, and tapped lightly, a hard feeling came from his back, it didn't hurt, but it was obvious.

Liu Ruosong's heart suddenly sank back into his stomach, he hummed in a low voice, and was about to say that he was fine, when Fu Yan suddenly raised his hand to cover his ears, and fired another shot.

Liu Ruosong didn't even bother to look back, but just took a deep breath in this posture.

He hugged him very tightly. Fu Yan had just smashed a zombie's skull, and wanted to bow his head to comfort him, when he heard a very deliberate dry cough coming from behind the shelf.

Fu Yan: "..."

Before Fu Yan had time to wonder, Liu Ruo let go of him, then raised his hands, and took a serious step back.

There were more question marks on Fu Yan's forehead.

He was about to ask what's the matter, when he saw two heads popping up from behind the shelf next to him, and they all laughed at him collectively.

Fu Yan: "..."

"Comrade Xiaoliu." He Tang said solemnly, "We had some agreement before."

Seeing Fu Yan, Liu Ruosong relaxed a lot. He bent his eyes, smiled, and said following He Tang's words: "Well, you can't act without authorization, keep a distance from the rescue target, and always ensure order and calmness in your actions."

Liu Ruosong looked at the "rescue target" and explained with a smile: "The relative avoidance system."

Fu Yan: "..."

The leader of Tangtang's special operations team was both helpless and funny, thinking that he had only been together for a few days, and Liu Ruosong was about to be led into ruin by these youngsters.

Colonel Fu obviously didn't have much sense of humor, he didn't catch the stalk, but took a step forward and pulled Liu Ruosong with his right hand.

"I'll see if you were injured after the train rolled over." Fu Yan said, "Impacts can easily cause hidden injuries. Have you felt uncomfortable these days, dizzy or something like that?"

"No." Liu Ruosong said: "Don't worry, everything is fine, just a little dizzy at first, and you'll be fine after sleeping."

"Hey..." A faint sigh came from behind the shelf, He Feng shook his head resentfully, and said, "Fortunately, it's a bamboo horse, otherwise the captain will be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

"Oh, well, I'll announce on behalf of the captain!" He Tang cleared his throat and said, "The rescue mission has been solved perfectly, and the family members can express their joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe!"

As soon as He Tang finished speaking, Liu Ruosong came up to hug him again.

"If your team members were not still watching, I would kiss you in front of them." Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan smelled strongly of tobacco, Liu Ruosong didn't know when he started to learn to smoke, but compared to when they separated, Fu Yan had changed his outfit from start to finish.

It can be seen that he has been living and sleeping in the open these past few days, the whites of his eyes are red and bloodshot, and he looks a little haggard.

Fu Yan put his left hand loosely in his pocket, hugged Liu Ruosong with one hand, the gun was still in his palm, and the butt of the gun was lightly pressed against the back of his shoulder blade.

He smiled when he heard the words, and it was rare for him to make a joke.

"Actually, it's not impossible." Fu Yan said earnestly: "Qu Ziming was so excited after he came down from the sky for the first time that year. Shao Qiu didn't hide from whoever he caught and kissed, and he almost spat all over his face."

"Really?" Liu Ruosong said, "What about you?"

"He can't beat me." Fu Yan said.

So Liu Ruosong laughed again.

Shao Qiu and Yao Tu finally finished their mop-up work, and just in time for a mouthful of fresh, hot dog food, their moods were complicated, and they wished they could hang the mask of pain on their faces.

"It's okay, family." Shao Qiu didn't dare to tease Fu Yan, so he could only fight around Liu Ruosong: "Give other rescuers some face."

Hearing the sound, Fu Yan raised his head, his eyes fixed on Shao Qiu's face for a moment, and then carefully scanned the others little by little - he looked carefully at these young comrades who had not experienced life and death, and suddenly felt a little lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, we meet again, Fu Yan thought.
