This sentence was enough for Sinan to imagine the ups and downs of the entire story, but on the surface, he remained calm and expressed his curiosity with a single syllable.
"Oh?"
Zhou Rong was satisfied with his attentive attitude.
"There were three groups of people involved in the hostage rescue: the kidnappers, the opponents, and the hostages. The kidnappers wore the same uniform, the opponents wore bulletproof vests and GPS chips, and the hostages wore nothing. Halfway through the competition, I had already rescued two hostages. As long as I took them through the jungle, the mission would be considered a success. However, I met this Omega who took the initiative to come knocking on my door. "
Sinan nodded.
"It's not what you think. At that time, it was muddy and sweaty. I couldn't tell if she was beautiful or not. But she was really pitiful. She was very clingy and followed me everywhere. She was scared when the sky turned dark. She even hugged my arm when she slept … "
Sinan looked at Zhou Rong's muscular arms under his short-sleeved T-shirt and nodded.
"…" Zhou Rong said tentatively, "I don't know why, but I feel that your mind is a little dirty."
"No. Then? "
Zhou Rong couldn't find any evidence of Sinan's dirty mind, so he had to give up.
"Then? I took the three hostages through the jungle. If there was anything to eat, I would let the child eat first. If there was any danger, I would protect him first. I didn't let him do any work when I started the fire, cooked, or set up the tent. It was like I was holding him in my hands. He was also very clingy to me … Everyone knows, he's a delicate and weak Omega, and he's still young. "
Zhou Rong took a puff of his cigarette and put it out on the ground. His expression became a little strange.
"Until the last day, when we walked to the edge of the jungle and almost reached the camp …"
Sinan asked, "Did he confess to you?"
There was silence. Zhou Rong said gloomily, "No."
"He knocked me out and tied me up. Then, he thanked me, took my guns and equipment, and took me away as a hostage. It wasn't until the next day when the organizing committee sent someone to rescue me that I realized he wasn't a hostage at all. He was a competitor representing Country A in the competition …"
"I was in the lead, but I lost. Until today, I still don't understand how an Omega could be so cunning, to burn the bridge after crossing it!"
Zhou Rongyi slammed his fist into his palm and buried his head deep into his arms. Sinan used all his strength to keep his voice steady. "Oh, you're so pitiful, Brother Rong … Why didn't you realize that he was your opponent?"
"That's because the first thing he did after entering the forest was to abandon all his equipment. He emptied his water bottle, threw away his rations, and buried his guns on the spot. There was only one GPS that he could never leave his body. It's usually used to identify his opponents. Guess where he put it?"
Sinan shook his head.
"He swallowed it." Zhou Rong gritted his teeth and said, "He only took it out after surgery!"
"… That damn competition of yours is so hard," Sinan thought sincerely.
"What's even more terrible is that this kid already has a girlfriend. After the competition, Country A came to pick him up. I saw the Caucasian Alpha take a bite out of his nape gland. "Zhou Rong said angrily," What do you mean if this isn't cheating people's feelings? "
After piercing the nape gland, it's a typical temporary mark. It usually lasts for three to four weeks until it's naturally metabolized with blood circulation. It's usually used for Omega that hasn't been completely marked. Temporary marks can block the emission of Omega's pheromone, but more importantly, it marks ownership and provokes the surrounding Alpha.
Another situation that hasn't been theoretically proven but is generally accepted is that temporary marks are enough to form a temporary contractual relationship. In other words, it's submission.
Alpha uses this method of direct pheromone infusion to intensify the Omega's natural fear of themselves and gain temporary psychological submission.
Sinan imagined the scene. For some reason, he felt faintly uncomfortable, as if subconsciously, he felt that the truth wasn't what Zhou Rong said. But he sincerely said, "Yes, Brother Rong, you're right."
"Now you know why you can't find an Omega? Don't think that they're interested in you because they occasionally show weakness. A Beta like you will be cheated until there's nothing left of you. " Zhou Rong took out the cigarette box, thought for a moment, and put it back. He took out the fever medicine box and scraped out two pills for Sinan to take.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Go to sleep. If the fever goes down tomorrow, it means there's no infection. Otherwise, I'll have to shoot you. "
Sinan leaned against the corner of the wall. Behind his head was a pillow made by Zhou Rong with thick clothes. With the glimmer of light coming through the crack of the door, he saw that most of the medicine box was soaked in black blood.
"… Thank you." He paused for a moment and smiled, "I'll take your advice … I won't find an Omega."
Zhou Rong patted him on the head.
At this moment, the door was knocked twice. Zhou Rong got up and opened the door slightly. He saw Chun Cao outside and said in a low voice, "Let's discuss the retreat route, Brother Rong. The helicopter can't land directly on the roof tomorrow … "
Zhou Rong made a gesture and interrupted her.
"Tell Ying Jie to come over and guard with a gun. Those who were the fiercest during the day, don't let them come near here. "
The door closed gently. Sinan closed his eyes and listened to Zhou Rong's footsteps gradually fade away.
The next day, the doctor put down the thermometer and said in surprise, "37.3 degrees."
Zhou Rong nodded politely to thank him, although everyone knew from his expression that he actually wanted to say, "You idiot."
The doctor left resentfully under Zhou Rong's victorious gaze. The latter kicked Sinan with the tip of his foot, indicating that since his fever had gone down, he should stop pretending to be dead and quickly get up to work. Then he turned around and clapped his hands, shouting loudly, "Very good! Get up! Pack up the equipment, move the supplies, and clean the corridor! Get ready for the helicopter to land, hurry up! "
The ground was littered with corpses. Sinan walked out of the cubicle with a piece of seaweed bread in his mouth. He saw Yan Hao sitting on the ground in the narrow corridor outside the door. His long legs were uncomfortably bent. One of his hands was still holding the gun that he returned to its original owner. When he heard him come out, he raised his head and showed a gentle smile.
Sinan's footsteps paused.
Yan Hao stood up and moved his stiff wrists and ankles. He turned around and walked away.
Zhou Rong was a monster who didn't need to rest. He had more energy than others at any time. Before lunch, he personally drew an escape route and divided the survivors into fourteen groups. He was going to let them climb up to the top floor from the safety corridor of the mall. He also went to kill all the zombies that wandered in the safety corridor. All the doors and windows on all the floors were blocked. The Special Forces patrolled back and forth and used their walkie-talkies to report any abnormalities.
At 3: 30 in the afternoon, he let Yan Hao clean the rooftop of the shopping mall for the 101st time. The roar of four large helicopters broke through the air.
"They're here!" Yan Hao vigorously waved his hand and shouted into the radio, "The helicopters are ready for an emergency landing! Arrange for the first group to go upstairs! "
The survivors were sad and happy at the same time. They cried loudly and staggered up to the rooftop under the escort of the special forces. The pilot opened the door and shouted in the hurricane, "Go up from the front, don't go to the back! Hurry up! Don't crowd, one by one! "
"There are not enough planes!" The pilot shouted to Zhou Rong, "Send the first group of people away first. We'll turn back later!"
Zhou Rong was sweating profusely. He waved his hand to show that he understood. He looked for an opportunity to rush to the back of the group. He pulled Sinan out and gave him a knife that was still warm and an apple that he took from somewhere.
"Go up!" Zhou Rong pointed to the helicopter and shouted into his ear, "Go, go quickly!"
Someone next to him said, "Hey, you just said that the women and children go first, and the men go next!"
Zhou Rong ignored him and pushed Sinan forward. The white-collar worker next to him, whose suit was squeezed crooked, said angrily, "You're too much! What's your name? I'm going to the military to complain about you! "
"Zhou Rong —!" Zhou Rong scolded, "Go, go and complain!" Then he pulled Sinan forward without any explanation.
"It's full! Don't go up! " In the chaos, the pilot's roar came from the front of the crowd. He closed the door and blocked a few young people who were desperately squeezing forward. Then the four helicopters took off at the same time, turned around, and flew to the north.
Loud curses and sighs mixed together. Zhou Rong silently cursed and sat down on the ground in exhaustion.
Sinan took out an apple, took a bite, and handed it over leisurely, "Half?"
Zhou Rong took it in annoyance and bit off half of it.
The two of them sat by the railing of the rooftop and took a bite of the precious apple. Zhou Rong got up to maintain order and regroup.
The mood of the survivors was very anxious. The group of people who were left behind experienced from the hope of being saved to the disappointment of being abandoned again. They were particularly nervous and uneasy. The atmosphere of despair pervaded the crowd. A few limited special forces soldiers couldn't completely control the situation. Even the medical team had to help maintain order.
"What's wrong with them?" Zhou Rong frowned and asked.
Two or three nurses squeezed in the corner of the rooftop, squatting with their heads against each other. They seemed to be very uncomfortable. Their faces were pale and haggard, and there were heavy dark circles under their eyes.
"It's too tiring to work overtime." The doctor explained, "Every day the cycle of quarantine, spraying disinfectant, they can't even sleep properly. That day when your people killed the zombies and burned them, no one was willing to help. They were the ones who helped carry the bodies on stretchers …"
The doctor's face was also very pale. Zhou Rong carefully observed the nurses for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is their body temperature normal?"
"I've already checked. There are no wounds on their bodies!" The doctor said unhappily.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Rong immediately apologized, "When the plane comes back later, your people will be the first to board."
The doctor eased up.
Sinan finished the apple and was fine. The high fever had subsided. His whole body was slightly sore. Although it was not uncomfortable, it made him too lazy to move. He leaned on the rooftop and looked at the devastated city below. After a while, he took out the pendant from his collar and opened it. He was lost in thought as he looked at the smiling man and woman in the old photo.
"Your parents?" Someone asked behind him.
Sinan looked up. It was Yan Hao.
"Your parents are very …" Yan Hao wanted to say good-looking, but he suddenly felt that it was not serious enough. He changed his words and said, "Outstanding temperament."
Sinan laughed and said casually, "It's a pity they didn't pass it on to me."
"This thing is acquired." Yan Hao smiled and asked, "Are you a mixed-blood? I always thought you were a local special police officer in T City. "
Sinan did not say anything.
Yan Hao looked at him silently from the corner of his eye. Sinan's temperament was indeed not elegant and meticulous. On the contrary, it was very similar to the special forces around him. He was very capable, agile, and decisive.
However, if you met him a few times, you would find that there were some indescribable differences hidden in his gestures. He was very different from him, from Chun Cao, and even from Zhou Rong.
Yan Hao thought for a while and changed the topic, "What did the captain talk to you about last night?"
Sinan joked, "Young Werther's Troubles."
"Being eliminated by the Omega in the International Jungle Competition?"
… Zhou Rong was a strange man. He must have told the whole team about his embarrassing past.
"He must have only told you that the Omega teenager knocked him out and tied him to a tree, apologized, and then took away his gun and hostage." Yan Hao understood. "As for the flowers and confession …"
Sinan asked curiously, "Flowers? Confession? "
Yan Hao poked his head out to take a look. Zhou Rong was squeezed into the crowd, rambling on about why he wanted the medical team to be the first to board the helicopter.
"The reason why Captain Zhou remembered it for so many years was that after the teenager tied him up, he kissed him to express his apology."
Sinan: "…"
"That was the only time Captain Zhou had close contact with an Omega in his life." Yan Hao smiled. "So if he told you that he went to find the teenager after the competition, then he was lying … He actually bought flowers to confess, but later found out that the teenager had an Alpha, so he threw the flowers back in anger."
Sinan shook his head slowly and sighed after a long time. "… So sad."
Yan Hao said sympathetically, "That's right."
There was the sound of wind in the distance, and the two helicopters turned back.
"Line up! Line up! Quick, quick, quick! " The crowd roared one after another. The pilot was exhausted and shouted through the loudspeaker, "Medical team! Where is the medical team —! "
The nurses were pushed to the front of the crowd. Their faces were ashen, and they were almost pushed into the cabin door by the crowd.
Zhou Rong saw this scene from afar, and he didn't know why his eyelids were twitching, and he vaguely felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. But at this time, the scene was almost white-hot. Everyone was roaring and rushing forward. Some thin and small people were almost squeezed to the back of the helicopter and were almost swept by the high-speed rotating propellers. Suddenly, there was a burst of screams.
"Can't squeeze in, can't squeeze in!" The loudspeaker was deafening, and the pilot shouted, "Go to the next one!"
The pilot gave Zhou Rong a thumbs up, and the door closed with a bang, and the helicopter slowly lifted off.
Zhou Rong couldn't help but raise his head and watch. Suddenly, a burst of unexplained fear seized his heart.
The sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and the world froze at this moment.
Zhou Rong subconsciously looked back, and his eyes passed through the crowd and met with Sinan's rapidly shrinking pupils.
The next moment, as if a death knell had finally rung in the void, Zhou Rong suddenly ran wildly. "Retreat —!"
"Everyone retreat —!!"
The helicopter spun and fell, and the black shadow became bigger and bigger. Amid the tragic screams, it hit the second helicopter and made an earth-shattering explosion!
Boom —
The airflow instantly pushed countless people out of the rooftop and onto the street. Yan Hao was caught off guard and fell over the railing. At the critical moment, Sinan grabbed his wrist tightly!
"Climb up!" Sinan shouted.
Yan Hao took a breath, gritted his teeth, and clung to the window on the rooftop. When he was about to climb up, he suddenly saw something beyond Sinan, and his face changed dramatically. "No! Don't worry about me, run! "
Sinan's chest was pressed against the iron railing, and he couldn't breathe because of Yan Hao's weight. He used all his strength to barely turn his head and look.
The distorted door of the helicopter was knocked open, and countless people ran out in flames, covered in black smoke, screaming and rolling. Behind them, more people staggered out, grabbed the nearest survivors, and bit their necks.
— — The infected people had mixed in with the helicopter.
A new round of the zombie virus broke out in front of their eyes.
