He Jin narrowed his eyes, his sharp eyes swept over the homeless man, and his deep and deep voice slowly sounded, "How familiar are you with underground pipelines? You know, after you go down, if you say you can't remember it, if you want to go down again It will be difficult to go back, and it may lead us to a more dangerous place."
The homeless man wiped off the black and gray tears on his face cautiously, his tone was not as humble and cowardly as before, but with rare firmness and confidence, "I have lived here for two years, not to say that I have visited the whole city, but In the outskirts of the city, I would not get lost with my eyes closed. The pipes are warm in winter and cool in summer, sheltered from wind and rain, and it is much easier to live than on the ground. If there was not a heavy rain, the pipes were blocked and my two brothers were drowned. Still living down there."
Seeing that his eyes were clear and there was no sign of lying, He Jin nodded slightly and asked again, "How long will it take to walk from here to the military compound?"
The homeless man lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with certainty, "This place is far away from the military compound. It takes more than two hours to drive, and about four to five hours to walk."
"Well, you will help us lead the way tomorrow, and we'll pack your food." He Jin said to the homeless man, the homeless man had an excited expression on his face, and thankfully retreated to the corner.
He Jin turned his head and confessed to the few people who surrounded him, "We'll leave at noon tomorrow. In the morning, we'll go outside to get some ropes, lights, food, and mineral water and come back."
"Okay!" Everyone answered in unison, with hope shining in their brows and eyes.
"Brother He, Young Master Gong, can you let us follow?" Gu Nan timidly stepped forward and asked softly. Upon hearing this, Ma Jun immediately nodded to express his agreement.
Gu Nan had heard He Jin mention it many times before, saying that the zombies' movements had become more flexible, so he kept an eye out for it, and observed carefully for a while, and sure enough, the speed of the zombies was accelerating. From here on, the outer wall will not be able to stop them sooner or later.
Furthermore, even a master like Gong Shao is eager to leave here, instead of An Sheng waiting for his father to come to rescue, it can be seen that this is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Gu Nan's mind was active, and he bit the bullet and stepped forward to negotiate. Ma Jun didn't have the slightest opinion on Gu Nan's words. Being able to follow Young Master Gong gave him a sense of security and wished for it.
He Jin raised his eyebrows, looked at the two of them coldly, and did not speak.
Gu Nan's posture was even more humble, and he said cautiously, "The underground pipeline route is complicated, and I don't know how many dangers are hidden in the dark. Two more people in the team will also give two points more help. When we arrive at the military compound, in case the army has not arrived yet, the general manager If you want to stay inside for a few days, Ma Jun and I can help watch the night, and everyone can sleep for a few more hours at night. We will figure out the food ourselves, and we will definitely not trouble Brother He and Young Master Gong!" At the end, Gu Nan Prayer appeared in his eyes.
The words 'can sleep for a few more hours' moved He Jin, thinking that the child was growing up and urgently needed nutrition and sleep, he was shaken, looked at the child, and asked, "Li Xin, what do you think? "
Gong Lixin took a small sip of coffee, licking the coffee stains on the corners of his lips, Mao Tong glanced at the half-cut knife in Gu Nan's hand, and said slowly, "The legs are on their bodies, if they secretly follow behind, we will also You can't cut off their feet. Just let them follow." It was compensation for his previous reckless behavior.
He Jin nodded slightly to Gu Nan and Ma Jun when he heard the words, expressing his agreement.
Gu Nan and Ma Jun wrestled with each other, feeling the coldness of the soles of their feet, and quickly bowed to the two of them as a salute, then retreated stiffly to the original corner.
Lu Yun had long been disturbed by Gu Nan and the others, so he couldn't sleep. He moved to Gong Lixin's side, bumped into his shoulder, and said mysteriously, "Young Master Gong, to be honest, did you ever fall off a cliff when you were young? Have you ever eaten a spiritual fruit? Or met you? What kind of old man, got a secret book of peerless martial arts?"
Gong Lixin glanced at him strangely, then shook his head silently. The secret book of peerless martial arts? Of course there is! But what happened in his previous life, he intends to bury it in his heart forever, and no one will tell.
The child only told himself about the supernatural power, and a hint of joy flashed in He Jin's heart. Seeing that he didn't want to talk too much with others, He Jin didn't intend to reveal it, and only told Lu Yun and Wu Ming after he separated from the child. The child didn't make a special confession, so there is no need to keep it secret, and he also said that others will know about it sooner or later.
Thinking that she would be separated from Gong Lixin soon, He Jin felt inexplicably upset, glanced at the nagging Lu Yun, and said coldly, "If you have the energy to think wildly, why don't you rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow."
Lu Yun always obeyed He Jin's words. Seeing that Young Master Gong was not interested in talking to him, he could only lie back to sleep resentfully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, under the same night sky, in the recruit training camp on the border of the capital of Province A, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran had just finished a killing that lasted more than 10 hours.
The two were covered in blood, each lit a cigarette, and looked at the piles of corpses on the training ground with dark eyes. In the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the soldiers who had not mutated into zombies were gritting their teeth, weeping, collecting the corpses one by one, and burning them up after dawn.
"It's the first time to kill so many people in one go, how do you feel?" Song Haoran exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his head to look at Lin Wenbo's expression carefully, and saw that there was a dull look between his brows and eyes, but his eyes were very clear. , a little relieved. The first murder was a hurdle, and he jumped over it. Since then, he has been invincible and his heart is as hard as iron. If you can't jump over, your life will be wasted.
"You're wrong. I didn't kill people, but zombies." Lin Wenbo didn't have the heart to smoke any more, and stomped out half of the remaining cigarette butts, saying in a cold voice.
At first, he really couldn't get used to it, he wanted to vomit, and he was sweating uncontrollably. But killing and killing, he gradually became numb, and he no longer felt the slightest discomfort. Because he knew that in the last days, killing was the only way to survive. He, Lin Wenbo, has never been a weakling. No matter how cruel the method of survival is, he will adopt it without hesitation.
Song Haoran smiled wryly when he heard the words, nodded and said, "You are right, we are not killing people."
Looking at the soldiers carrying corpses back and forth, Lin Wenbo sighed, "Fortunately, Li Xin and Xiangyi didn't follow, otherwise they would be terrified. There were seven or eight thousand people, and less than two hundred survived the fight, even if they were in hell. But that's all."
Song Haoran glanced at him, flicked off the excess ash on the cigarette butt, and said in a deep voice, "You are wrong, I think they should see all this with their own eyes, see the cruelty of the end times, so that they can live stronger in the future."
Lin Wenbo shook his head with a hoarse voice, "I'm different from you. I just want to protect them as much as possible and keep them away from despair and pain. I can bear these negative things alone."
Song Haoran stopped talking after hearing the words. The focus of the two is different, but in the final analysis, it is for the loved ones to live better. Can't say who is right and who is wrong.
"Let's go, get on the helicopter and go to see Uncle Gong and Mr. Lin. It's been a while. I guess Uncle Gong has cleaned up the garrison camp. It's time for Li Xin and Xiangyi to come back." A helicopter was ready on the tarmac, Song Haoran threw away the cigarette butt, and strode away. He was a little worried about the young man who was far away in the military compound. Although he knew that the military compound was safer than the army, he felt a faint sense of anxiety in his heart.
Nine out of ten officers living in the compound of the military region are Gong Yuanhang's loyal subordinates. They have received the news long ago and told their families to take precautions. People suspected of being infected in the compound were quarantined and sent away, and even the patrolling guards were replaced with soldiers who had not been infected with the virus. Security work is in place.
In addition, for those Song faction officers, Gong's father also notified them three days ago, as long as they believe it, they will prepare for their families, and there is nothing they can do if they don't believe it. Anyway, every family will close their doors and windows tightly, hold their weapons, and wait for the army to send a helicopter to rescue them. They will not meddle in other families' business. Whether they can survive or not depends only on themselves.
The helicopter slowly lifted into the sky, and the boot camp became smaller and smaller in the field of vision. The place where the beam of light projected vertically by the plane swept across was filled with blood red, and the strong stench could still be smelled even hundreds of meters into the air. .
Lin Wenbo stared down with gloomy eyes, and said in a deep voice, "There is so much blood, even if the water from the Yuan River pours it down, it won't be able to wash it away."
Everyone in the plane fell into silence after hearing the words, and the oppressive atmosphere made them feel like they couldn't breathe.
At the same time, Father Gong and Mr. Lin have cleaned up the troops in the garrison camp. Of the 15,000 people, less than a thousand survived in the end, and one or two hundred of them were injured in the battle. They were isolated and mutated into zombies sooner or later.
This was the most difficult battle that Gong's father had ever fought. He would never forget the bloody scene and the tragedy of the same kind killing each other. There is still a lot of aftermath work to be done. Taking into account the sons and daughters in the outskirts of the city and the families of the loyal generals, Gong's father did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent four helicopters to the rescue.
