16 years

Joe Eden knew that he had left a huge handle on the commander he had never met.

"...That's not necessarily true." A researcher in overalls wanted to have a relationship with him, and persuaded himself: "Boss, we have put all the experimental subjects into the pile of zombies, and they are hiding in the city. They won't see anything. And if the teammate is lost, they will definitely look for it, and this period of time is just for the people who stay behind to do the finishing work."

"Can't you see?" Joe Eden stared at the other party viciously, and smiled strangely: "Do you think that the person who can touch my research institute is an idiot?"

"It might be an accident." The researcher hesitated and said, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be just a few people—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill in his chest, and a loud noise came to his ears belatedly. The research institute looked down blankly, and saw a blood flower slowly spreading on his chest.

Joe Eden's fingertips hooked the ring of the gun, and the muzzle of the gun hung down, still braving scalding heat.

The bullet passed through the researcher's chest, he opened his mouth in a daze, and fell backwards without saying anything, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Joe Eden put away his gun, but he still didn't calm down. He wiped the blood on the ground with his foot, and cursed angrily.

He is volatile, but he seldom really gets angry, because at his level, many things can be resolved without going to the point where he needs to vent his emotions.

But today is an exception.

Fu Yan's purpose was too strong. He was born out of nowhere and touched Joe Eden's tail without warning, forcing him to give up Irene and the current research institute to change his plan.

At the same time, he came too fast. Although Joe Eden's countermeasures were prepared, he hadn't had time to complete the finishing work. He could only cut off unnecessary limbs like a gecko's tail.

It would be fine if that was the only way to go. What annoyed Joe Eden the most was that he could have evacuated comfortably and calmly, but he took a second look at the request for instructions sent by his subordinates before boarding the helicopter.

"This is their location information." The message on the screen jumped, and a hidden camera pop-up window automatically popped up.

The night vision camera was hidden in the tree trunk, and the distorted vehicle was only three to five meters away from the camera point. Joe Eden could easily see the figure inside the car from the high-definition camera.

The man lay softly on the girl's body, not sure if he was unconscious or awake.The young girl wrapped her hands around his back, and hugged him tightly into her arms. She closed her eyes, with an almost pious indifference on her face.

Joe Eden only took one look, but couldn't take his eyes off. A thin layer of hot sweat appeared on his back, as if all the pores on his body had exploded.

In the picture, He Tang is unaware of the prying eyes in the dark. He Feng's right leg is stuck in the deformed front of the car. There is no fracture, but it is tightly embedded.He Tang couldn't pull him out of the machine by himself, so he could only hug him, counting the rhythm of his heartbeat while obeying the command and waiting for rescue.

He Feng was still awake, and would talk to her from time to time. He Tang could tell from his male duck voice that flying glass shards had probably scratched his throat, so he patted him on the back gently. , tell him to shut up.

"I'm not a child anymore, so I don't need to be coaxed." He Tang said, "Reserve your strength."

He Feng gave a low laugh, he really didn't speak, he closed his mouth and went to refresh himself.

However, as soon as he calmed down, He Tang felt uneasy again, so he decided to make a compromise between the two, and while paying attention to the surrounding situation, he said something to He Feng from time to time.

In an unfamiliar environment, He Tang's voice was kept very low. Fortunately, the distance between the two of them was quite close, and He Tang could whisper a few words to He Feng as long as he tilted his head slightly.

In the gray-and-black surveillance video, the bright green reflection reflected on Joe Eden's face, his dark green eyes were fixed on He Tang, like a poisonous snake staring at a golden apple.

In the picture, He Tang did not know what to say to He Feng, and then, her arms around her tightened a little, and she turned her head to get closer to He Feng—because of the angle problem, half of her face was blocked by the damaged car door , from Joe Eden's point of view, it's like she gave He Feng an ear-to-ear kiss.

The two similar faces overlapped one another, like a nail, holding back Joe Eden's footsteps.

If Joe Eden hadn't been forced to let go of all the control groups, he might not have taken the risk and become interested in the He brothers and sisters.It's a pity that Fu Yan pressed forward every step of the way, forcing him to lose all the comparison chips in his hand. At this time, the He family brothers and sisters came to the door, and it was difficult to prevent Joe Aiden from having a cognitive bias that was almost paranoid.

It was fate, Joe Eden thought.

His rationality clamored, trying to force him to give up this desperate idea, but unfortunately Joe Aiden's rationality could never overcome his impulse, so he turned back and took He Feng and He Tang away.

Just because Joe Eden is a crazy man who doesn't care what he's up to doesn't mean he's an idiot.

He is quite aware that this kind of difference in thought may bring him a catastrophe.

"Who the hell is he?" Joe Eden was playing with two bloody chips with fresh and minced flesh in his hand, his face was very ugly.

He was unclear, but the mercenaries who followed him all the year round clearly understood what he meant.The mercenary silently pulled out a tablet from the side, swiped it twice casually, and brought up a screenshot interface.

This photo seems to be taken from a surveillance video. There is only Fu Yan's side face. There is a cut on his forehead, and blood flows down the side of his face. It looks a bit hideous.

But maybe because of his temperament, he doesn't look scary, but a little bit from the vicissitudes of gunpowder and war.

"What about the other surveillance videos?" Joe Eden asked.

"Only this one." The mercenary said: "He is very vigilant. Since entering the woods, he has turned on the shielding interference system. The surveillance camera can no longer be used, and his movements cannot be obtained."

"This idiot." Joe Eden stared at the dead body on the floor, and said viciously: "That person will not waste time on useless searches, he doesn't understand the way those people do things—this group of people People, this knife-like team is here to be a death squad. As long as they see the research institute and catch evidence, those people on the other side of the river can rush over and sweep up!"

The more Joe Eden thought about it, the more angry he stood up as if venting his anger, kicked the researcher's body fiercely, and cursed something in his native language.

Two mercenaries behind him quickly stepped forward, grabbed the researcher's arm one by one, dragged him away, opened a steel door, and threw him out.

"It's okay, boss." The mercenary said: "The new plane is ready, and we are expected to arrive at the designated location in an hour."

These words obviously appeased Joe Eden's anxiety just right. He wiped the blood from the soles of his shoes on the ground in dissatisfaction, the anger on his face gradually faded, and a layer of gloom reappeared.

"Never mind," said Joe Eden, "I was one step ahead in the end."

In the woods near the river line, Fu Yan checked the last trace, straightened up, and opened Feng Lei's communication channel together.

"The helicopter is really not Joe Eden." Fu Yan said: "They deliberately wanted to attract our attention, and they probably wanted to cover it up."

Feng Lei on the other side didn't know the details, so he asked repeatedly after hearing the words. Fu Yan briefly mentioned the situation to him, and then said straight to the point: "He drove away, a heavy-duty vehicle, it should have been modified, depending on the situation, it should be Headed southeast."

As Fu Yan spoke, he glanced back at Liu Ruosong. Liu Ruosong went more on the terrain on the ground, and he quickly followed Fu Yan's words to enter this topic, saying: "I think there may be two problems if he retreats. One route is to cross the country and return to country A by plane or ferry from the other side of the border. Another possibility is to turn back and hit us in the dark—for example, go to County H and evacuate there. .”

Feng Lei is a local, so he quickly understood what Liu Ruosong meant.

City H is a county seat under City D. It sounds good as a county, but it sounds like a town. It is also located along the Honglan River Basin, extending in all directions and close to another border.

Liu Ruosong mentioned this place because he remembered the evacuation point caught by the second team in his previous life. Liu Ruosong always felt that since that place was used as the evacuation point of the petri dish, it was not the temporary foothold of the rabbit—it should be in " It occupies a place in the "Three Caves".

"Understood." Feng Lei said, "I'll send people to surround him right away!"

"Send another group of people to cross the river secretly." Fu Yan said, "Our car has a problem, and we can't pursue it deeply—"

"Fu Captain, don't worry, I know what's in my mind." Feng Lei interrupted him, and said quickly: "I'll transfer people across the river immediately, without any heavy weapons, remove all epaulettes and identification tags, and give me the coordinates synchronously Just do it."

There was a whistling wind on the other side of the call. It was obvious that Feng Lei had left the command area and started to dispatch troops.

Fu Yan synchronized the coordinates to him, and said in a deep voice: "We are going to the suspected place of the research institute, and the communication will remain silent for a long time. Please be ready to receive the communication at any time."

Feng Lei responded with a receipt.

Fu Yan was silent for two seconds, and said: "He Feng and He Tang are our very important comrades-in-arms, no matter what..."

He didn't say that he must bring him back, Feng Lei was silent for two seconds, and when he spoke again, there was a very light sigh in his voice.

"I understand, Captain Fu." Feng Lei said, "If you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, I will definitely try my best."

Fu Yan hummed and didn't say any more.

Three seconds later, the communication signal on his side disappeared neatly. Feng Lei turned his head to look at the monitoring screen, and saw that the fluorescent color positioning representing Fu Yan began to move towards the direction of the research institute.
