SAS與義民們,頂著身陷蟲海的壓力,硬著頭皮沿MHC來回巡視了幾遍;他們選定一處連接點,並在高架的金屬管壁上安裝TNT炸藥!198Please respect copyright.PENANAlWJfSFeEIu
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEQUw9jtgpT
過沒多久,他們就把帶來的TNT全都佈置妥當,並一一接上雷管!等連接好遙控引爆裝置後,SAS再隨義民們,一起撤回雷達站。198Please respect copyright.PENANA3YRvsnaSOH
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdaNQ5juGU3
待一切準備就緒,哈利手持遙控引爆器,在大夥狂歡式的倒數計時完,隆重地按下引爆鈕;但半分鐘過去,外頭並未傳來任何爆炸聲響!從窗外看出去,MHC不但完好如初,綠半球也始終還在!198Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBDepOya9
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdutyjgKxNa
他們不知綠半球自帶電離層的緣故,無法使用遙控引爆;面對這般窘境,在場所有人都尷尬得鴉雀無聲。哈利曾反覆重按幾次引爆扭,但皆無效;最後只好兩手一攤,表示無奈。198Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z5FtDBPGh
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwd0GxPtVb0
強尼提議道:「如果無法遙控引爆,是不是能改用其他方式引爆?」偏偏這個時候,SAS身上只有遙控引爆裝置!198Please respect copyright.PENANAl0v2ezlsPP

阿巴斯勇看眼前這群英國人愁眉苦臉,便好奇關切兩句。經強尼翻譯後,阿巴斯勇隨即提議:「附近有不少直昇機殘骸,或許能找到其他引爆裝置!」198Please respect copyright.PENANAFZUYTU69Wc
198Please respect copyright.PENANAydQcsc9H6T
哈利得知此事,二話不說,立刻率隊走出雷達站,隨阿巴斯勇前去搜索直昇機殘骸。198Please respect copyright.PENANApfESFl9tcF
198Please respect copyright.PENANAqBCMEDUPcJ
有些較晚熟的食腦蟲,因寄生在宿主顱內,僥倖躲過毒氣而存活下來!這讓SAS在搜索直昇機殘骸時,還得提防被剛甦醒的活屍嚇著!198Please respect copyright.PENANAhZYQko84mk
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7toCxeWAyS
那些被安全帶綁在座位上,或斷手斷腳在地上爬的活屍都好處理;只有那種活繃亂跳的活屍,比較煩人!雖然吃過食腦蟲的他們,對活屍攻擊具有免疫力;但活屍的騷擾,不但給搜索工作增添許多困擾,同時也耗去不少時間!198Please respect copyright.PENANAi9OFxFmp6E
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7isDc7uJma
SAS在一處殘骸裡,尋獲機械式引爆器,並立即返回MHC引爆點,將引爆器換上,然後再撤回雷達站。198Please respect copyright.PENANABk1Qa1XqeX
198Please respect copyright.PENANA41kSd8sqMa
再一次倒數計時後,隨著爆炸聲一響,綠半球瞬間坍縮,周圍空氣大量湧入真空帶,並捲起陣陣強風!現場宛如遭龍捲風掃過似的,盡是一片飛砂走石,狂風亂作!198Please respect copyright.PENANA3zf6bh4fhb
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjdDTMmPnEf
綠半球消失在地表世界後,留下一個直徑3公里,深1.5公里的巨型隕石坑,以及那圈被炸出一個小缺口的MHC!198Please respect copyright.PENANAt4HgtmJzll
198Please respect copyright.PENANAi6oC5f47da
綠半球消失後,無線電通訊終於恢復正常,他們立刻向車隊回報戰情。水庫一帶的氣溫也很快降低了,回到冬天該有的寒冷。SAS重新穿起生化防護衣,隨阿巴斯勇一起返回車隊。198Please respect copyright.PENANALFue208F7C
198Please respect copyright.PENANApcoXCAhzat
傍晚17點半,SAS與義民們平安走回車隊。這時的王教授,正帶著阿祥、莉莉、倫仔、莎莎、布蕾妮,還有一部份陸戰隊員,人人提著裝滿「特調驅蟲泥」的彈藥箱,將糞泥塗抹在車輛上,作為驅蟲塗裝!198Please respect copyright.PENANAyNt37SyG1b
198Please respect copyright.PENANA2p4eKk7oLV
丹尼爾看到這般景象,肚子竟開始鬧騰起來!頓時一傳二、二傳三,激起連鎖反應,SAS與義民們紛紛跑去找地方蹲坑!198Please respect copyright.PENANAiwH0S9Yhrk
198Please respect copyright.PENANAs3g9GeGF3x
「喔喂──別浪費呀!」有幾名陸戰隊員,邊喊邊捧著空彈藥箱跑來,發給他們一人一個,要他們把屎直接拉在裡頭!198Please respect copyright.PENANAVyeZqV5mgW
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPnyIT5ib2J
不一會兒,撇完堆的丹尼爾,通體舒暢地走了回來,還把他新鮮的「原材料」交給倫仔,好讓他們去製作更多的驅蟲泥!198Please respect copyright.PENANAzuqvq8zS51
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVMF9e5TGX5
繳完原材料的丹尼爾,囫圇吃完一餐野戰口糧後,筋疲力竭的他,與羅比、哈利、傑克、強尼,合著兩名SAS隊員,進入輪甲車的乘員艙,各自找到一個座位後,弓著身子,抱著槍,兩眼一閉,低頭便睡。198Please respect copyright.PENANANnJecxYWPV
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEFu2IKUfjW
入夜後,王教授他們又做出更多的驅蟲泥,並將每輛輪甲車都一一塗上;甚至還有多的餘泥,可以塗在架橋車和油罐車上!等他們大功告成時,已是深夜。198Please respect copyright.PENANAzAlcm08TZi
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQv8EeGk6d4
由於驅蟲泥的味道太濃郁,醺得大夥實在難受,又紛紛把防毒面具戴了回去!198Please respect copyright.PENANAjtU9qDfXV3
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnJCZr2pNw8
隨著驅蟲泥漸漸乾掉,味道也明顯變淡許多,這時就沒那麼令人難受了;又或者說,他們已經習慣這股味兒了!但比起被食腦蟲吃掉,臭一點,其實不算什麼。198Please respect copyright.PENANAuencccRpJq
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6nvXJjYN9R
安娜、佩姬,與四名陸戰隊員輪值第一班衛哨,分別守在車隊的前、中、後三處,持槍警戒。198Please respect copyright.PENANAbCXvy4TpW3
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxk17ePaFrx
凌晨2點,馬克喚醒強尼,通知他出來一起輪夜哨。稍後,兩人持槍在車隊間巡邏,走著走著,就來到愛熙與倫仔所在的隊尾哨點。198Please respect copyright.PENANAQwjm85XtP3
198Please respect copyright.PENANArzksQcs1zn
馬克請強尼幫他翻譯,詢問愛熙上身穿著的「銀鏈錦甲」,從何而來?198Please respect copyright.PENANA2fzcdFObq7
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjuV1IetUv0
得知是祖輩傳下來的古董後,馬克隨即取下掛在脖子上的戒指,舉到愛熙身旁,然後像金屬探測器似的全身來回掃了一遍;此舉令愛熙和倫仔兩人,看得是莫名其妙!198Please respect copyright.PENANAcuU8ItJVHS
198Please respect copyright.PENANAuO49YF8P6R
馬克忙活了半晌,瞧戒指沒有反應,又默默地把戒指收了回去。198Please respect copyright.PENANA8m9VZVa3mY
198Please respect copyright.PENANA1N38SzbVbO
一旁的強尼,尷尬地解釋道:「沒事沒事,這是他們『凱爾特人』的傳統,一種祈福儀式!」198Please respect copyright.PENANAbTBaY2caQD
198Please respect copyright.PENANALVHTRO4tFN
這晚,熾龍部隊在驅蟲泥的庇護下,於山中平安度過一宿。198Please respect copyright.PENANA9kCIDjf3ln
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVYa2P8b5GX
隔天一大早,剛睡醒的丹尼爾一走出車艙,就聽見西側林子裡傳來女人的哭泣聲!再走去一看,是愛熙和熙媽,兩人跪在熙爸的擔架旁,相擁而泣!198Please respect copyright.PENANAPTlRRS4Kf9
198Please respect copyright.PENANAcL28vFkcif
一名陸戰隊員說告訴丹尼爾,說熙爸遭到感染,依規定不能帶回後方!她們母女倆,正依依不捨地對著昏迷中的熙爸,做最後道別!198Please respect copyright.PENANAWUEb8Yw9ua
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtdPg4EqlPy
此時的熙爸,仍有心跳,雖不算真正意義上的活屍,但熾龍部隊也不可能帶他撤離,更不會停下腳步,等他心跳停止後才走;事實上,在場的每個人,都想快點離開這裡。198Please respect copyright.PENANACEvExeFAym
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbLv6Y7mftN
此時此刻,母女兩人正陷入對自己丈夫與父親,執行光榮處決的天人交戰!198Please respect copyright.PENANAlZmxhD41aR
198Please respect copyright.PENANAheNDVTyrg0
一名陸戰隊士官看她們遲遲下不了手,於是走了過來,從熙媽手中接過手槍。由於不忍她們目擊處決畫面,還請愛熙、熙媽先行迴避。198Please respect copyright.PENANA7CxwsNwqYQ
198Please respect copyright.PENANARP2uUp9zAT
就在士官舉槍欲擊發之際,阿巴斯勇出手制止了!他語帶哽咽地說:「還是讓我來吧,這事……我很熟,就讓我送我大哥最後一程!」語畢,士官把槍交給阿斯巴勇,自己默默向後退了兩步。198Please respect copyright.PENANA1F19RxnWwQ
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFY8fanEHn6
阿巴斯勇雙膝跪地,輕撫熙爸臉龐,並緩緩取下頭冠,同時還用族語唱著歌頌勇士的歌謠;隨著清唱聲響起,族人紛紛聚了過來,手拉著手,肩併著肩,一起用歌聲送熙爸最後一程。198Please respect copyright.PENANA0bNbE6zBJn
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjDtnjdFsHB
「大哥,對不起了!」阿巴斯勇話音剛落,舉起手槍,對準眉心,「砰──」的一聲,送走了熙爸!198Please respect copyright.PENANAZMvf8iHcuJ
198Please respect copyright.PENANA9VwbqYaIhc
阿巴斯勇的槍法,乾淨俐落;熙爸表情依舊安詳,僅眉心多了一顆小小的彈孔。198Please respect copyright.PENANA9CtCyPgmVK
198Please respect copyright.PENANABO9WbBxBX7
族人在一旁的林子裡,刨了個坑,然後將熙爸埋了進去。198Please respect copyright.PENANAmcYlBydg0i
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfb0zFgyg0f
阿巴斯勇告訴愛熙和熙媽,說:「大哥將永遠守護我們的獵場,不會再離開了!」198Please respect copyright.PENANAPTHUfS73uv
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3utTQGpkm3
接著,阿巴斯勇捧起熙爸的頭冠,慎重地戴在愛熙頭上;稍後,在族人淒美的歌聲中,愛熙正式繼任,成為新的頭目!198Please respect copyright.PENANARtqEdV3LsS
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWcpilwsoaV
這一幕看在丹尼爾眼裡,內心是百感交集。他不禁感慨道:「原來昨天帶我們去水庫執行爆破任務的,是一支勇敢與忠誠的酋長衛隊!」198Please respect copyright.PENANAlkuf13kEn5
198Please respect copyright.PENANAG0QFHZjYsm
熾龍車隊循來時路下山,在驅蟲泥的保護下,一路順暢,沿途未再遭遇活屍與食腦蟲的攻擊;最後於下午14點許,平安返抵九如防線。198Please respect copyright.PENANAYM5ZjgzhMo
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dmeua30ID
防線上的海軍陸戰隊,見熾龍歸來,現場響起熱烈的歡呼聲,迎接他們凱旋!
