Cai Chengliang, that bastard, everyone wanted to kill him, but that guy was also smart. He felt panicked after he plotted against Mei Baisheng. When he saw Bai Cheng and the others leaving in a hurry that day, he felt even more uneasy, so he called his grandfather in the capital and told him about the matter. He probably made himself sound very innocent and wronged, as if it was not his supervisor who harmed people, but "seemed", "probably", "possibly", and something on his body that was contaminated by zombies scratched Mei Baisheng. He was afraid that Ye Xiao, Bai Cheng and the others would retaliate against him.
His grandfather was also a big shot with considerable influence. The most important thing was that he had not retired yet. He had a lot of say before the end of the world, let alone after the end of the world. He immediately told his grandson not to worry, and then waited for Bai Cheng and others to come back the next day to settle accounts with Cai Chengliang. Then Grandpa Chen called him.
They used both soft and hard tactics, and also used coercion and inducement. Anyway, the point was the same: they wanted them to bring Cai Chengliang back to the capital.
This alone would not be a big problem, and no one would care about future career prospects. However, the other party revealed that there are so many places in the country that need disaster relief, but there are only a few troops, and Yang City is just a small city.
What else could this mean
Bai Cheng was so angry that he almost laughed, but he really couldn't just kill the guy named Cai.
Professor Zheng smiled awkwardly: "How can that be possible? This is a whole city with a population of two million. It is impossible for them not to come. Mr. Chen doesn't have that much power, but maybe... just a few days later."
There are so many urban areas in the country, and Yang City is ranked last. Who can say anything? I can easily list dozens of reasons for you.
By then, the population here will suffer heavy losses, and there will be nothing we can do about it. A global disaster will inevitably cause heavy casualties.
"You still call this a low level of power?" Ye Xiao spoke up at this time, "Using a city to threaten a few of us is really eye-opening and flattering."
He rarely spoke in a sarcastic tone, and he was obviously irritated by this operation. It was not just sarcasm, but mainly disappointment. It would be fine if his surname was Chen, he respected Major General Min, his direct superior, but he never thought that one day he would play such a dirty trick on them.
Professor Zheng said, "You don't know, I have been in frequent contact with the Academy of Sciences these past few days. I heard that many of those at the top had accidents on the first day of the apocalypse. Naturally, those below them will be pushed up, and their say will be more important."
What he said was rather obscure. Too many big guys with equal authority got into trouble overnight. The people at the lower level, whether for their own personal gain or to better save the country, actively or passively participated in the struggle for power.
Old Chen and Major General Min were undoubtedly the winners and they were in the same camp. Ye Xiao's team was just one of their many pawns. They were only asked to rescue a few people, but they dared to disobey orders and wanted to retaliate against the target of the mission. To put it in a broader sense, this was a challenge to their authority.
It is hard to say how much Major General Min cares about the mother and daughter, but he does not accept that Ye Xiao and the others do not take his words seriously. Holding the core information obtained by the Academy of Sciences is equivalent to telling them clearly that I will give you benefits only if you obey orders.
It is difficult to say how much of Mr. Chen's threat was intended to protect Cai Chengliang and how much was intended to threaten him.
301 None of these people are stupid. Even Mei Bosheng, the most thick-skinned one, realizes that the current situation is not good.
Professor Zheng looked at Mei Bosheng, who was curled up on the sofa with his hands in his sleeves, and said, "Besides, isn't he fine? Even if Cai Chengliang might have bad intentions, didn't he succeed? Attempted murder and completed murder, the sentence is not the same."
He tried his best to negotiate peace. After all, he and his men were still living under the control of these people. If the two sides completely fell out, what good would he get? Besides, he also hoped that the army would come earlier so that he could be sent back to the capital as soon as possible.
His little thought was actually nothing, but the problem was that his words touched everyone's reverse scale. What did it mean to fail? What did it mean to attempt murder? If it weren't for Lin's talk, Mei Bosheng's body would have rotted away long ago!
But there was no way to say this. Lin Tantan's ability to save the infected had been discussed and they had discussed that it must be kept confidential, so no one could know that Mei Bosheng had been infected by zombies.
In the end, they parted on bad terms. Professor Zheng and his friends, who had originally wanted to have a meal here, didn't feel comfortable staying any longer.
Lin Tantan felt sorry for Ye Xiao when he saw that he was in a bad mood. Now it has become like this. In the previous life, Mei Baisheng really died, and Cai Chengliang was most likely killed to pay for his life. How could Chen and Min not bear grudges? Then it made sense that Ye Xiao had a conflict with the military and was eventually expelled from the army.
Because he was targeted by the military, his first few years were not easy.
Lin Tantan was a little conflicted. It was not good to offend the guys who held military power, but it was also aggrieved to continue working under them. Moreover, only if you are the master of your own house can you live well in this world. Otherwise, who knows when you will be betrayed. So Lin Tantan hoped that Ye Xiao could leave the military like in his previous life, the sooner the better.
She whispered to Jiang Xiaotian: "What's Cai Chengliang's situation now?"
"Just starve him, make him work, and lock him up among the zombies at night." Jiang Xiaotian sneered, "That guy is not someone who can endure hardship. He will be unrecognizable after a few days."
"Even if we let him go, he will definitely hold a grudge against us," said Lin Tantan.
"Isn't it?" Jiang Xiaotian felt comfortable when he heard her say "we". "That girl went back to Chen's place and didn't know how to slander us and instigate people to retaliate against us. This hatred has already been established."
Xu Qin, who was standing by, heard this and sneered, "Even if we make enemies again, we still have to let him go."
Jiang Xiaotian choked, took out a bag of potato chips and started to chew them, as if to vent his anger.
Lin Tan Tan looked at this and that and said, "So you guys are just going to let him go like this? Can you swallow this anger?"
"So what if you can't swallow it?" Xu Qin asked her with a smile, as if expecting her to give an answer.
Lin Tantan took a potato chip from Jiang Xiaotian and stuffed it into his mouth: "That depends on what you plan to do in the future. If you still want to be a soldier, obey military orders, put the overall situation first, and devote yourself to the country, then just swallow your anger. After all, he is your superior."
Lin Tan Tan instigated it.
"Bullshit! You're still sacrificing yourself for the country? It would be fine if you really sacrifice yourself for the country, but I'm afraid that in the end you will have to sacrifice yourself for those old guys!" Jiang Xiaotian also spoke without restraint.
"Can you please stop making such disgusting statements?" Mei Bosheng also came over from the corner of the sofa to grab some potato chips to eat. "If you want to devote yourself, go do it yourself."
"What if we have other plans?" Xu Qin ignored the two and brought the topic back. Under the current circumstances, even if they licked someone's instep, they might still be punished in the future.
"If you don't plan to work for them anymore, then who cares? Didn't they threaten you by not sending troops to Yang City? There are two options. First, don't worry about the lives of the people in Yang City and just leave." This kind of threat is funny. If they have relatives and friends in their hands, it would be reasonable to threaten them, but to use a whole city of people who have nothing to do with them? It's just because they can't be ruthless. According to Lin Tantan, they are not only selfish, but also vicious and mean to come up with this trick.
"That's impossible." Zhong Xiong also came over. "Although the people here have nothing to do with us, if because of us the army should have arrived earlier but was delayed for several days..." He shook his head.
"I also think this trick won't work." Lin Tan said with a smile. If they really did that, then people would be accused of delaying the military's rescue efforts because a few soldiers disobeyed orders. Then those whose family members died would definitely hold Ye Xiao and the others responsible.
"What about the second way?" Xu Li also came over and asked.
"The second one is easy. Aren't you putting the interests of the people of Yang City first and willing to compromise with the evil forces for this? Why not change your mindset and confront the evil forces directly? Drag Cai Chengliang out, make a video of him, and tell his grandfather to send troops over as soon as possible. If they don't come within one day, chop off one of his fingers. If they don't come within two days, dig out one of his eyes. If they don't come within three days..."
"Blast his ass!" Jiang Xiaotian added excitedly, feeling very happy. Why didn't he think of this trick
He patted Lin Tantan's shoulder and said, "Okay, that's a good idea!"
"Yes, yes, leave the anal sex to me when the time comes." Mei Baisheng also agreed, rubbing his hands as if he was about to have an anal sex.
These two have always been eager to create chaos in the world. Compared to them, Xu Qin and Zhong Xiong, who are more rational and mature, did not express their opinions so quickly. Zhong Xiong thought for a while and said, "Is this appropriate?" They have never done such a bad thing. Only kidnappers would do this, right
Jiang Xiaotian said: "They didn't reason with you. They are arrogant, so we have to be more arrogant than them!"
Xu Li, who rarely expressed his opinions, also said: "I think it's a good idea. Give someone a taste of their own medicine."
…
On the balcony, dusk was falling. Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng stood by the railing, feeling heavy-hearted because of what Professor Zheng had just said.
The key to the matter now is not Cai Chengliang. It is not impossible for them to endure the anger for a while. The key lies in how they should go in the future.
After a long while, Ye Xiao faced the dim sky and said, "On the first day of enlistment, I swore to be forever loyal to this country, but not to a few people."
Bai Cheng was not surprised to hear him say that. This time, those people really went too far.
"Min Yande is no longer able to do it, but who else can be trusted? I have to go back to the capital and see for myself to find out." Ye Xiao said.
Bai Cheng's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he smiled and said, "That's right."
In just a few words, without saying too much, the two of them had already reached a consensus on the choice at this small fork in the road.
At this time, I found that the living room seemed to be very lively and some people were discussing something with great interest.
When I went in, I heard Mei Bosheng's loud voice saying, "If you want to have anal sex, you need a thick and big one."
"How about making a popsicle? It'll be more exciting." Jiang Xiaotian suggested.
"No, no." Lin Tan Tan shook his head. "It's numb after being frozen. How can you still feel the pain?"
Jiang Xiaotian immediately said: "That makes sense, what do you think?"
"Get a wooden stick with thorns, soak it in chili water, and then make a beep..." She pretended to hold something and poke it forward, looking very fierce. She glanced at Ye Xiao who was looking at her in astonishment, and was immediately choked by her own saliva.
The author has something to say: Tan Tan: Damn, my moral integrity! My image has already fallen to the ground, and I still want to establish a character of a talented person!
Ye Xiao: So this is how you talk.
Here is the first update. There will be another update in the evening. I am ambitious to update twice a week this month. As for whether I can stick to it, ahem, we will have to wait and see.
