The morning sun is bright and penetrating.

The rising sun in the east shoots out rays of sunshine, covering all things in the world. The sunshine is just right, and the joy is like red flowers meeting the colorful sun.

7:30 am.

In front of the ward.

"What's wrong, Professor, you hurriedly called me over early in the morning." Lin Bufan yawned and rubbed his eyes, obviously not yet full of sleep.

Zheng Yumei had been guarding Yang Ze all night last night, and now she also had panda eyes. Infected by Lin Bufan's yawns, she also yawned several times in succession.

"I have something important for you to handle."

Lin Bufan said listlessly: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Yumai held the communication watch that he had collected from Yang Ze in front of Lin Bufan.

"This was found on Yang Ze. It contains a distress signal from the investigation team, indicating that there are still survivors in the investigation team."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Bufan felt a little more energetic.

"Did the investigation team send a distress signal?"

Zheng Yumei nodded, "The rescue mission is urgent. I want you to make a trip to search for the surviving members of the investigation team."

When he was in the slums, Lin Bufan had always been curious about what the world outside the birdcage was like. He always wanted to go out and have a look, but because there were strange things outside, every time he wanted to go out and take a look, he would be surrounded by strange things.

He was persuaded to quit, but things are different now. He has the ability to mutate and his survivability has been greatly enhanced. Now he has another opportunity to go out and perform tasks. Lin Bufan is naturally very willing to accept such a task.

"I am willing to go and carry out this search and rescue mission."

"Other areas of the slums have not been recovered yet." Zheng Yuyu said with a sad look on his face: "I can't send you many people for this search mission. First, there is only one person to send a distress message. I don't think there is any need for one person to send too many people.

Carry out search and rescue missions, and secondly, I will organize a group of teams to recover other areas of the slums recently, so now is when Birdcage needs people the most, you should understand what I mean."

In fact, it doesn't matter if there are more people or less. After all, strange things are rampant outside the birdcage. Regardless of Lin Bufan's idea, it would be best for him to go alone, so as not to have to worry about the safety of others if he encounters strange things on the way.

"Professor, actually I think I can carry out this mission alone."

"No." Zheng Yumei rejected Lin Bufan on the spot, "This search and rescue mission is no child's play. It cannot be completed by one person. Just listen to my arrangements."

"Then which five people will the professor send me?" Lin Bufan asked.

Zheng Yuma thought for a moment and said: "Zuo Yan is very knowledgeable in geology and has gone out to carry out several survey missions. It can be said that she has rich experience. Let her go with you. You can make the remaining four by yourself."

Take your pick."

"All right."

"You pick out those four people today, and you will set off early tomorrow morning. I will inform Zuo Yan." After saying that, Zheng Yumei yawned, turned around and walked into the ward.

Lin Bufan also walked to the barracks, preparing to take a nap.

Walking into the barracks dormitory, Lin Bufan fell onto the bed.

"Bufan, why did Professor Zheng call you so early?" Shen Jiayi, who was in the same dormitory with him, had already woken up when Zheng Yumei called Lin Bufan away and lay in bed without getting up.

"The professor gave me a task." Lin Bufan said lazily with his eyes slightly closed.

Shen Jiayi asked again, "What mission?"

Lin Bufan opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Jiayi.

Shen Jia immediately understood that he had asked too much and quickly turned around and pretended to sleep.

Lin Bufan looked at Shen Jiayi's back thoughtfully. Originally, according to Zheng Zeyi's instructions, since Shen Jiayi's identity was unknown, he was not allowed to tell Shen Jiayi some secrets or operational tasks, but just now Zheng Zeyi Tell him that for this search and rescue mission, he has asked him to personally select the remaining four people, which means that he should be able to inform Shen Jiayi about this operation.

After all, after spending time with Shen Jiayi, it seems that he is quite honest and humorous. Apart from his unknown identity, his character is still good.

He had been following him for a while, and he couldn't keep ignoring him, so Lin Bufan decided to tell Shen Jiayi about this action.

"Old Shen."

Shen Jia turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you just ask me what Professor Zheng wanted to do with me? Let me tell you now. The professor just assigned me a task, which is to go out to search and rescue the injured of the investigation team. There are still four people missing. The professor gave me the right to select those four people. Got me."

"Then which four people do you want to choose?"

Lin Bufan shook his head, "It's really hard for me to choose this. After all, this is not a good job. The risk factor is very high. There is a risk of death at any time. It's not easy for me to choose."

"I am your assistant. Among the four people, I must have a spot." Shen Jiayi volunteered.

Lin Bufan didn't expect that Shen Jiayi was so brave that he actually recommended himself, "You have to think about it. Outside the birdcage, there are weird things running rampant. If you go there, you may not be able to come back alive. I think you should think about it carefully."

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Jia got excited and sat up on the bed, "I have lived for half my life and have never had the opportunity to go out and have a look. It is rare to have such an opportunity. I must not miss it. No matter whether he is in danger or not, If you just accept it if you fall outside, there will be nothing to miss in these last days anyway."

Lin Bufan nodded, smiled slightly, and admired Shen Jiayi's courage, "Old Shen, since you said so, I will count you in this search and rescue mission. If you change your mind, please tell me before I go to bed today. Otherwise, after setting off tomorrow, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Shen Jia patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't change my mind."

…

11:25.

Training ground.

Lin Bufan and Yang Tiansheng were sitting in the corridor, chatting and watching the training of the A-line battalion soldiers in full swing.

"Do you see those two small words?" Yang Tiansheng pointed at the two men who were practicing fighting skills at the training.

Lin Bufan nodded, "Well, these two people are the most energetic on the training ground."

"One of these two brothers is called Duan Hu and the other is called Duan Bao. These two brothers are currently the two most trained newcomers in the A-line camp. Didn't you just tell me that you still have three people left in your search and rescue team? , I think these two people are the best candidates."

Hearing this, Lin Bufan was a little embarrassed and said: "How can this be possible? There is no one available in the A-shaped camp now. Governor Yang can hardly recruit two elite talents, so it is better to train them carefully and follow me just in case. If something unexpected happens, wouldn’t it be a loss of talent again?”

"Haha..." Yang Tiansheng laughed and said: "I don't agree with your point of view. I think the best way to test the two Duan brothers is to send more of them to perform tasks and accumulate experience in actual combat. The best training method, otherwise what else can you achieve besides daily training by staying in this A-line camp every day."

With that said, Yang Tiansheng stood up and called Duan Hu and Duan Bao over.

"Director Yang, do you have anything to do with my two brothers?" asked the eldest brother Duan Hu.

"Something happened." Yang Tiansheng said calmly: "Do you two want to go on a mission?"

Duan Hu and Duan Bao immediately became excited after hearing this.

"Of course I do. Last time there was a rat plague in the civilian West Village, my two brothers wanted to go with Governor Yang. Unexpectedly, Governor Yang insisted that we stay behind, which depressed my two brothers to death."

"Yes, Governor Yang and my two brothers have always wanted to find an opportunity to prove themselves."

Yang Tiansheng looked at Lin Bufan with a smile, "Look, these two brothers are very motivated. If you bring them along, they will definitely become your right-hand men."

Lin Bufan just nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Thinking, even if he takes Duan Hu and Duan Bao with him, he still has to wait for Governor Yang to issue orders. After all, this is Governor Yang's territory. He cannot go beyond Governor Yang and issue orders to the people in the A-line camp. This is the minimum.

respect.

"I didn't let your two brothers follow me to deal with the rat plague in the civilian West Village at the beginning because I felt that the small rat plague was not worth sending you two elites out. But today we have such a very difficult and dangerous task.

It needs capable people to complete it. Then go to perform a search and rescue mission outside the birdcage. Do you two dare to participate?" Yang Tiansheng's expression became more and more serious as he spoke.

"Dare!" Duan Hu and Duan Bao said in unison without hesitation.

Seeing how brave the two men were, Yang Tiansheng admired them very much, and he admired courageous people.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. From now on, you two no longer belong to the A-line battalion. You now belong to the Survey Corps. You must obey Commander Lin's orders from now on." When he said this,

Yang Tiansheng pointed at Lin Bufan next to him.

Then he continued: "If you can assist Chief Lin in completing this search and rescue mission, I will definitely award you with merit and awards when you two come back."

"We two brothers will definitely disappoint Governor Yang." Duan Hu and Duan Bao assured Yang Tiansheng sonorously, and then looked at Lin Bufan, "Chief Lin, my two brothers will never let you down."

You're in disgrace."

Lin Bufan was a little shy when he was called "sir" for the first time since he was born. He didn't know what to say. He just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, with the help of you two brothers, I believe

This mission will be successfully completed."

With the addition of the two Duan brothers, Lin Bufan's search and rescue team now only has one person left. But who should this last person look for?

Originally, Lin Bufan was thinking that he would just find someone at random for the last person, or that he would not want this last person, until he saw Gao Jie who was taking a break after changing his duties.

Gao Jie once said that she has always wanted to go out to find her father who has not returned yet.

But when he was talking about this, he and Gao Jie were in the dire slums. At that time, just to escape from the slums, he came up with the idea of ​​joining the temporary investigation corps, and to search for his missing relatives, and went with the belief that he would die.

, but it’s different now. Gao Jie has escaped from the slums. I wonder if he is still willing to see the world outside the birdcage.

Lin Bufan originally wanted to ask Gao Jie

But considering that this operation was really dangerous, I gave up going to Gao Jie to ask about it.

…………

5:40 pm.

"Bufan, I'm here, you are too boring." Gao Jie came uninvited and walked into Lin Bufan's dormitory.

Lin Bufan was very happy to see Gao Jie coming, and quickly pulled him to sit on the bed and asked, "What's wrong, Gao Jie? What do you mean when you say I'm not interesting enough?"

"Does your search and rescue team still lack one person?"
