母蜂的复仇

He Xing did not speak. Instead, he turned to look at Du Yue. Du Yue shook her head. “We won’t be going.”

It had been three years since the apocalypse. Even if there were survivors in the city, the supplies would have been used up. Not only was it a waste of time to rummage through the ruins, but they also did not know if the things they found could still be used. They did not want to join in the fun.

Zuo Mingdong looked at them and said hesitantly, “If you’re not going, can I trouble you to help take care of the convoy? I’ll leave some people behind to deal with any emergencies. If they can’t handle it… I may have to trouble you to help. If you can’t help, then save yourselves and leave.”

As the team leader, Zuo Mingdong hoped that Du Yue and He Xing could help, but it was just a request. He did not force them. After all, Du Yue and He Xing were not official personnel of the base, so Zuo Mingdong was quite sensible to do this.

After Du Yue agreed, Zuo Mingdong did not waste any more time. He left quickly with the people behind him. It seemed that they were also going to search for survivors. Now, the city was full of collapsed houses, and cars could not drive in at all. The difficulty of the search and rescue work had increased, and they could only rely on the small number of people to search step by step, turning over the mountain.

They did not have a police dog or search equipment. When they were looking for people, they could only go wherever there was sound. As Zuo Mingdong and his team walked farther and farther away, Du Yue turned to He Xing. “Take a break. I’ll keep an eye on the cars.”

He Xing had been driving the entire morning. Since Du Yue had spoken, he would not be bashful. He nodded and closed his eyes to rest. He did not want to waste any time.

As He Xing’s breathing gradually calmed down, Du Yue smiled and turned to look out the window. The main mission of this trip to the city was to search and rescue survivors, so Zuo Mingdong did not leave too many people to guard the convoy. Du Yue counted, and there were only about a dozen people.

The dozen or so people automatically divided into five groups and went in different directions, beginning to patrol the convoy. After all, there were more than 50 cars parked here, and there was no end in sight. In order to ensure that there were no accidents, it was necessary to patrol. Du Yue could not help but give them a thumbs-up in her heart when she saw their solemn expressions and how they did not slack off at all when they were patrolling. Du Yue admitted that she was not a diligent person, so she was very respectful of these diligent and well-disciplined teams.

An hour passed by in the blink of an eye. Other than the rhythmic footsteps of the patrol team, Du Yue did not hear any other noise. However, she suddenly heard some strange sounds. The sounds were very soft, but if one listened carefully, it should be a muffled groan and the sound of someone being knocked to the ground.

Du Yue’s gaze gradually darkened. Before she could make a move, she sensed He Xing opening his eyes. Although He Xing had just opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, unlike those of someone who had just slept. “Someone’s here?”

Du Yue nodded. “I think so. I was just about to get out of the car to take a look.”

“Let’s go together!” The two of them looked at the rearview mirror in tacit understanding. When they saw that no one was there, they opened the doors and got out of the car with extremely light movements.

Du Yue’s car was parked right in the middle of the convoy. In front of them were buses for transporting people, and behind them were military pickup trucks from the base. Du Yue kept close to the car and moved backward quickly. He Xing, who was on the other side of the car, also moved backward quickly.

The two of them deliberately made their movements light, so even though they moved quickly, they did not make a single sound. After passing by a pickup truck, Du Yue crouched down and stared at the group of people standing behind it.

The officials of the base were all dressed in the same military green camouflage uniform. However, the few people standing behind the car were wearing different colors and styles of clothes. None of them were in camouflage. Although they were quite a distance away, Du Yue could still see that there were a few people lying around their feet. Du Yue turned to look at the other side of the car and happened to meet He Xing’s gaze.

The two gave each other a look, quickly took out their guns, and ran forward at a fast speed. Their movements were extremely fast, but there was no movement under his feet. Turning around the back of the car, Du Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the scene before her.
