Chapter 59: A Grim Situation
"In this apocalyptic world, this kind of thing can happen at any time when you are alive!", Wang Xiaoer comforted when he saw that the other party refused to put down his brother's corpse.
"Originally, he wouldn't die, my brother and I were both from sports training, after the zombie outbreak, we didn't panic but enjoyed the pleasure of hunting zombies, but now the zombies have mutated again and have begun to hunt humans, otherwise my brother wouldn't die!"
Knowing that nothing can calm the other party's emotions now, Wang Xiaoer can only quietly watch everything that happens.
After a long while, after Wang Xiaoer also helped bury his younger brother nearby and erected a wooden sign as a tombstone, Wang Xiaoer spoke: "I'm sorry, this matter has something to do with me, if it weren't for me, your brother wouldn't have been attacked because he was attracted attention!"
The other party waved his hand and motioned to Wang Xiaoer not to continue, before he said slowly: "It's none of your business, even if anyone faints here hungry, we won't sit idly by, otherwise how can we be worthy of the medal on our chest!"
At this time, Wang Xiaoer noticed that there was a medal hanging on the other party's chest, and Wang Xiaoer asked suspiciously, "This is?"
"This is the last time there was a million-scale zombie tide attack in the camp, and we were only eligible for killing more than a thousand zombies by the camp for our bravery!", he said, and gave a standard military salute to his brother's graveyard.
Wang Xiaoer: "Then are you out looking for food this time?"
The other party adjusted his mood again, and the other party, Wang Xiaoer, said: "The task of finding food will not be let us do, this is the foundation of the foundation in the camp, and it is generally a newcomer who has just joined, and it is carried out by veterans." We're here for a more important mission - to bring a message to the head of the special operations group!"
Wang Xiaoer instinctively asked, "Hmm, what news do you bring?"
The other party glanced at Wang Xiaoer and said: "It's okay to tell you, it's not a secret, it's just that since there is no mobile phone available now, it can only be used in a primitive way to deliver messages." Our mission is to tell him that the camp wants him to complete his mission as soon as possible, because now the zombies are mutating again, making it more difficult for the camp to guard, something like my brother's doing, the camp happens almost every day. The zombies are mutating too fast, if they can't find an effective countermeasure, then it's really the end of humanity now! Humans will soon be killed by zombies! So if he can bring back effective data or news, it is the greatest hope now!"
Wang Xiaoer was puzzled: "Didn't the last mission on Desert Demon Island bring back a lot of information, isn't it enough to develop a vaccine or formulate an effective response plan?"
"It's not not enough, to be precise, it's not fast enough, the existing data is only directional research on the basis of the existing data, when there will be a special drug, no one knows, but the zombies are mutating at a speed beyond imagination, this is already known to everyone!"
Wang Xiaoer: "I see! By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what do you call it?"
"My name is Lin Feng, and it's my brother who died, Lin Ping!", speaking of this, Lin Feng couldn't hold back anymore and was already in tears!
After crying for a while, he completely put away his mood and said to Wang Xiaoer: "I still have a task to do, I have to go, you take care!"
Wang Xiaoer hurriedly said: "Hey, wait, don't go, your mission has been carried out, I am the leader of the special operations team!", after speaking, he didn't hold back the injuries in his body, and coughed violently.
Lin Feng looked at the weak person in front of him in surprise and asked, "The leader of the special operations team is a high-level awakened person, not to mention that the injury will heal itself, let alone faint from hunger!"
Wang Xiaoer looked at himself, it was indeed not like it now, and then took out the medal.
Lin Feng looked at it suspiciously and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"
Wang Xiaoer's face was full of black lines and said, "This is mine!"
Lin Feng: "It's also simple, I'll believe it if you show two tricks casually!"
Wang Xiaoer: "I was injured in a ghost town, and I can't show it now!"
Lin Feng: "... But why did you walk so long to get here on your way to the mission? Besides, what are you doing in a ghost town?
Wang Xiaoer: "This explanation is a bit complicated, in short, I am injured now, so I can't show my ability for the time being, but this medal is real!"
Lin Feng hesitated: "That's right, but I met you just after I set off, and now I can't verify that you are the owner of this medal, what should I do?"
Wang Xiaoer: "Then let me ask you, when you received this task, how did you know who Wang Xiaoer was?"
Lin Feng took out a hand-drawn portrait and said, "This is a portrait drawn by a colleague from another department!"
Then he took it next to Wang Xiaoer and compared it, and said: "Well, it's almost, it's very similar, plus this medal, well, I believe you!"
Lin Feng said gloomily: "I brought that, but the situation in the camp is very grim now, and I have to hope that you will hurry up, otherwise, if you come back after the mission, it will be difficult to say whether the camp is still or not!"
Wang Xiaoer nodded seriously: "Okay, I know, I'll arrive at the mission location as soon as possible and get useful information!"
Lin Feng was about to leave, but he looked at Wang Xiaoer's current state and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wang Xiaoer tried to stabilize his state: "Although I am a little injured now, I really wanted to apply to give up the task, or carry it out slowly, but now I can't wait, I can only do my best!"
Lin Feng gave a solemn military salute, and replied, "Take care!"
Then turn around and leave.
Wang Xiaoer turned around and looked at the entrance of the ghost town, he waited for three days and three nights, but he never saw anyone enter or leave again, and now the camp has encountered ** annoyance, his task must be completed as soon as possible, after weighing the weight, Wang Xiaoer silently said to the entrance of the ghost town in his heart: "Ling'er, hold on, as soon as the task is completed, I will rush back to find you." In case of... ”
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoer's tears flowed down his eyes, and he choked up: "If you don't hold on, I will definitely let the rulers of the ghost city give you a funeral!"
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and continued to walk north.
……
On the other side, Fei Fei and the fat man sang and laughed all the way, and finally arrived at the base after hitting and killing countless zombies with a big truck. originally thought that the base would also be full of mourning and a miserable scene, but to the surprise of the two, the entire base was almost unaffected.
"Come out, everyone, the fat brother is back!", with a shout from the lookout, the people in the base ran out to greet them, of course, there were newcomers who joined later, as soon as they entered the base, they heard the legendary stories of Wang Xiaoer, Fat Man, and Fei Fei, but they had never seen real people, and they also came out with great curiosity to "visit" the living.
Coming back again, the fat man found that the base had expanded a lot, and had filled the area including the cultivated land with a circle of thick wooden fences, and set aside a large piece of open space for storing goods, this time the fat man's truck just arrived in front of the door, and saw the right side of the original gate, and opened a larger door, which was more than ten meters wide, and the fat man and Fei Fei drove the truck directly into the yard.
"It's back!", Cherry greeted with a smile.
"Well, there are a lot of things that happened this time, and I'll tell you slowly when I enter the house, hey, what about the others?", the fat man asked.
"Several of them have led their own teams out on daily tasks, and there are more and more people in need of more and more supplies, but then again, there is a person who is very good, and every once in a while people can get a lot of food!", Cherry boasted.
"Hmm, is it a newcomer?", the fat man wondered.
Cherry: "It's not a newcomer, this person was there before you left, it's called Yue Wei!"
Fatty: "I can't remember, but that's a good thing, otherwise everyone will starve!"
With that, the two walked to the office. Now with the expansion of the base, Cherry's main task is daily operation, task allocation, and the directional development plan of the base, and it is no longer going out to perform daily tasks, after all, the stall is big and cannot be stared at at any time without a manager.
"How's it going? Hey, where's the little second brother?" Cherry wondered.
Fat man: "He's busier than us, after we performed the guard duty of the camp, he immediately went to the next mission, and he may not be able to come back for a while!"
The fat man drank the glass of water handed over by the cherry, and continued: "By the way, just before, for a period of time, the camp was attacked by more than a million zombies, if it weren't for the last little brother falling from the sky, the camp might not be there now." I don't think we're at all affected here?"
Cherry: "We really haven't received much impact here, maybe the place is too small compared to the camp, you see the fence around us, nailed into the ground one meter five, the above ground part is more than three meters five, if we don't take the initiative to go out, ordinary zombies can't see what's going on, and they won't take the initiative to attack!" Moreover, although we have recently had a zombie tide, these zombies are obviously just passing by, and it is obvious that they are in the state of collective marching, it is estimated that it was when you were guarding, fortunately, our base did not encounter mutant zombies, otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether the base is not there now!"
Fat man: "That's not bad, you don't know, the camp over there is more than 100,000 people, and the city wall is dozens of meters high, but there are all kinds of mutant zombies, and the city walls and tanks can't stop it, and this battle has exhausted all the ammunition." By the way, in addition to food and water, there are also medicines and various firearms on the car I brought back, but there are no bullets, because the ammunition is exhausted, and in the future daily tasks, let's add a task to find ammunition, which can strengthen our defense capabilities. ”
Cherry: "That's great, you remember a few times before the invasion of outsiders, if we had weapons, at least this kind of thing wouldn't have happened, and if you want to take advantage of us, at least you have to weigh it!"
Fat man: "Well, it's true, I don't know how long we can stay when we come back this time, we can stay until the next mission, once the next mission is released, we may have to leave again, so I'm really worried about the defense capability here, this won't require a lot of weapons, so let's go, I'm also relieved!"
Cherry: "You're still leaving? Didn't you help last time?
The fat man said helplessly: "No way, originally I also planned to come back after the last mission, but I didn't expect that after the mission, we were awarded the title of 'Special Operations Group', which is not a medal, since then we are soldiers, military orders must be carried out, and they will not be returned!"
Cherry smiled, "How do I feel like you're being tricked?"
The fat man also laughed and said: "Is there a chance to do something for the country, if this is peacetime, I am still playing games at home, everything is a chance, it is really fate that can't be stopped!"
