Chapter 145 The other end of the timeline
What appeared in everyone's eyes was a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that when they discovered this camp last night, they searched the entire place and already knew the placement of each tent and equipment.
Looking at it now, you can see that basically nothing has changed in this part, and it still stays in the same position.
The only difference is that these things are very brand new now, completely different from the old ones last night.
What's more important is that there is something new in the camp that did not exist last night - a living person.
I saw many more soldiers wearing dark green military uniforms in various parts of the camp, shuttling around in different locations.
There are dozens of soldiers in total, and the division of labor between them is very clear.
Some held guns and stood guard at the outermost edge of the camp, while others gathered in groups of two or three and worked together to move boxes of supplies to off-road vehicles.
On the other side, there was a group of soldiers shouting loudly from time to time, arranging about a dozen guys in old and tattered clothes, who were obviously civilians, to board the truck in order.
A night ago, there was still silence around the camp, and even the air seemed to be completely solid, exuding a depressing and lonely atmosphere everywhere.
To be honest, if it weren't for the leadership of Ling Chen and Dean, who gave the newcomers support, they wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
In such a desperate and terrifying environment, negative emotions will be maximized.
It is not surprising that if a person is mentally weak, he may commit suicide when he sees no way out.
Now that we can finally see other living people, we can imagine how much it inspires and encourages the group.
Even deep down in our hearts, everyone knows that the virus is still raging outside, full of zombies and various special infected people, and the dangerous situation has not improved much.
But it is undeniable that this is the first time in several days that we can see living humans.
Although it's not as if a fellow villager will burst into tears when he meets a fellow villager, it can at least give him a feeling of peace of mind.
Meanwhile, here comes the latest tip:
"Hidden mission: crack the mystery of the timeline! Completed, the two contractors who led the team each get a chance to draw a lottery."
In addition, there are supplementary parts later, but only Ling Chen can hear them.
"You solved all the puzzles alone and received additional rewards: 30 meritorious deeds and 200 psychic points."
…………
There were only a very small number of civilians in the camp, and almost all the others were soldiers in military uniforms.
On the other hand, the newcomers are all wearing riot gear. Once they step out of the tent, they will naturally be extremely conspicuous.
Soon, several soldiers who were directing the survivors to get into the car noticed them and turned their heads frequently to look at them.
"Hey, there's still someone who hasn't gotten on the bus yet!"
A soldier with a loud voice stood beside the military truck and shouted, waving his hand to the driver to signal him not to drive yet.
The soldier turned to look at Ling Chen and the others, then waved, hurriedly ran over, came to them, and said:
"You came out so late? Didn't you hear the broadcast last night?"
In fact, before the soldiers came, Ling Chen was a little worried whether the other party would doubt the identity of his group.
He was secretly prepared to be made things difficult and thought up the excuses he would use to falsify his identity.
However, judging from the content of the questioning, the other party obviously had no suspicion and just regarded them as a few survivors.
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment. As he had become more and more experienced, of course he knew that he must not panic at this time, and he could just continue the topic:
"Broadcast? Sorry, we fell asleep very early yesterday, so we may have missed the broadcast."
The soldier suddenly realized it and showed a look of understanding, "That's it", and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, you woke up in time. The original plan was to shelve the camp today."
"All soldiers, together with survivors, will set off to the dock together and leave the city completely tomorrow."
Having said this, the soldier shrugged and said:
"If you don't leave in time, I'm afraid you will miss the opportunity and stay forever..."
At this time, Ling Chen also realized that this camp must have existed for a long time. The soldiers had received many survivors, and it was impossible to remember everyone's appearance.
Although, the number of survivors may not even be 5% of the total population, and it is impossible for everyone to make it to the camp alive.
However, judging from the number of soldiers, each of them should have received at least ten or twenty people.
It is not easy to memorize the faces of so many people in a short period of time.
Under such a premise, as long as Ling Chen and the others came out of the tent, the soldiers would probably regard them as one of the survivors and would be unlikely to raise suspicion.
As for those weird riot gear?
It's even less likely that he would care.
When trying to survive, human potential will be infinitely magnified. It is not impossible to sneak into a police station and steal a few pieces of clothing like this.
During this time, the soldiers saw a lot of strange costumes. Some people rushed in without any clothes and covered in mud. Some people tied pans together and put them on their bodies...
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and sighed:
"Fortunately we caught up."
The soldier nodded with deep understanding, saying that if he missed the leaving team, it would be difficult to go to the dock where the evacuation point was alone, and there would be only a dead end.
The soldier didn't know that this was not what Ling Chen was referring to. Fortunately for him, he solved the puzzle set by the organizer before the time limit came.
The transfer of time periods will only occur in safe houses, and there are only three safe houses, each of which is effective for only eight hours.
If they do not take the correct action within eight hours, they will be trapped in another time period and will never complete the main mission - boarding the evacuation ship!
At this time, Dean suddenly said doubtfully:
"So, we are the last group of people?"
The soldier nodded and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Yes, as time goes by, the number of special infected people in the city becomes more and more..."
"High-level officials believe that no one can survive in the environment here. The military's search and rescue operation officially ended last week."
The soldier waved his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him. He walked towards a military truck and continued:
"In several other camps located further away, soldiers and survivors inside have arrived at the docks one after another last week and left by boat."
"The only ones left now are a small number of people here and at the dock. We will all set off to the dock together next, and we are expected to leave with the people there at noon tomorrow."
The soldier opened the back door of the truck compartment, then stepped aside a small step and pointed into the compartment.
Ling Chen nodded, understanding that the other party was asking them to get in the car.
He waved his hand behind him to instruct everyone in the order of getting on the truck, and they boarded the truck one by one.
After making sure that everyone was in the car, the soldier closed the car door forcefully and said goodbye to them:
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave now. We'll talk later if we have a chance."
After saying that, the soldier left the side of the Kajun army and walked to the other side to meet the other soldiers.
