Chapter 8: Parting Ways
Zhang Jie glanced at Wang Zongchao very much, put away the sand eagle in his hand, took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes, handed one over and said, "You are very strong, but it's better to do as little as possible." â
Wang Zongchao waved his hand and signaled that he would not smoke, he usually did not smoke or drink. Of course, he knew that Zhang Jie wanted him to give up waste like Zeng Rong, but since he saved people, he would not regret it.
But he is definitely not a bad person who saves people when he sees them, if he saved Zeng Rong when he went down the stairs before because it was just a gesture, then he also saved him in the zombie group because Wang Zongchao felt that person still had some backbone, and he didn't beg others to take him when he fell down the stairs, and after being rescued, he also took the initiative to ask himself to run, not wanting to drag people down. If it weren't for that, although it wouldn't be too difficult for Wang Zongchao to take him along the entire staircase, it would be impossible to save him later.
And the biggest difference between him and ordinary people is the will, ordinary people will hesitate to take the risk to save people, and after saving people, they find that the price is too great, or the people they saved will regret it. But Wang Zongchao is different, he either doesn't do one thing at all, but what he wants to do is to gamble his life with all his might.
Everyone's faces are not good-looking, just the zombies make their hearts almost jump out of their chests, and think about the creepers who are five thousand times more terrifying (as you can see from the reward points), and think that the heartbeat tends to stop. Zhang Jie saw that several people had already recovered their breath, and took out a few cigarettes to distribute to Zheng Zha and Mu Gang. Li Xiaoyi suddenly stopped, as if he wanted to show his composure and said, "Brother Zhang, give me one too." â
Zhang Jie glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "The little kid still learns to smoke from others? Don't think I can't smell it, you can have a little smell of cigarettes in addition to the smell of milk? Stay well, if you don't want to die, follow us firmly." Li Xiaoyi was scolded and had nothing to say, Mu Gang touched his head comfortingly, and said, "Boy, you better be honest." Li Xiaoyi opened his hand impatiently, and everyone was amused by them.
Zhan Lan said softly: "We should be safe now, and after a while, the seven of us will stay behind, and they shouldn't be very opposed." If we stay up until the end of time, we will be truly safe. â
Zhang Jie nodded and said, "That's right, but it's wrong, the people left are six, not seven." After speaking, he pointed at the little fat man Zeng Rong, "You can't stay!"
"You...... Why?" Hearing this, Zeng Rong suddenly blushed and had a thick neck.
"Just because you've been bitten and scratched by zombies in many places!" Zhang Jie sneered, playing with the heavy desert eagle in a circle in his hand as he spoke, the threat overflowing.
Then he continued: "You definitely can't delay returning to the main god space before the T-virus attacks, instead of letting you and us shoot you in the head when you become a zombie and causing others to do so, it is better for you to go with the mercenaries now!"
Zeng Rong's whole person was stunned for a moment. Zhan Lan was a little unbearable. whispered: "Actually, there is an antidote to the T virus on the platform." You can go back with the mercenaries to get the antidote. That's the only way you can survive. â
Zeng Rong was silent. Just gasping for air. And Wang Zongchao had already spoken coldly.
"People want to abandon you. Why should you be cheeky and huddle with others like quails? Don't you even have the courage to make your own way out?"
I heard Wang Zongchao say it bluntly. Zheng Zha, Mu Gang and others all looked embarrassed. As an ordinary citizen. They are still more reluctant to let a person go to the place of death. But there really can't let him stay. Except that it won't save him. The key is to affect yourself.
"Hahaha......" Zeng Rong suddenly laughed maniacally. Tears of laughter flowed through her eyes. Then he stood up again. Said fiercely: "Not bad. Except for Brother Wang. I know you've been looking at me for a long time. I can't climb everybody! Even if someone asks me to stay, I won't stay! What are zombies? Lao Tzu is so fat. It's crushing it!"
"Who's going to beg you to stay?" thought almost everyone. In fact, this little fat man has always felt like a burden. Even if there is no virus, it has been ignored by others.
However, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the act of killing their companions was still too challenging for their moral bottom line.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the heroine's shout came from outside: "Open the door, open the door quickly!" Zhang Jie didn't care about the reactions of those mercenaries, and opened the door by himself. The heroine and the young wolf who had chatted with Wang Zongchao squeezed in. The zombies in the back stretched out their hands and pulled them unwillingly, like a group of evil spirits trying to pull people back to hell. Zhang Jie shot them a few times with a sand eagle in the arm, so that their arms were directly separated from their bodies. Then he slammed the door shut, keeping the disgusting guys out.
At this time, all the mercenaries gathered around, and Matthew took the lead and asked, "How is it outside?"
The heroine shook her head and said, "There are those ghost things everywhere outside, they are waiting for us on that road, and it is impossible to get through." â
"We were ordered to bring back the Flame Empress's main board and seal off the entire hive from the outside world, remember the passage between the building and the hive, if we couldn't get back there within three hours, then the building and the hive would be sealed completely...... Damn Ambrera, I finally know why there was such an order, it was for all those shitty things all over the place......" Matthew roared in a low voice, he was in a terrible mood right now.
Ryan, the anti-horn, looked panicked and said loudly, "No, they can't do this, are they going to bury us alive under here?"
Wang Zongchao shook his head when he heard this, "Is this guy brain-dead in those countries that flaunt human rights? In order to cover up something, let some people disappear or die, these are simply the methods used by the upper echelons." â
Everyone listened to their conversation about the way out, and they all had their own feelings. Zhang Jie snuffed out his cigarette, poked it on the ground and said fiercely: "If someone designs me like an umbrella, I don't mind killing him first." â
Looking at the other party's eyes full of murderous intent, Wang Zongchao smiled lightly and said, "Don't be so serious, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later." When we face death, any aspect of human nature is infinitely magnified. Whether it is power, faith, positive and negative, these will appear, and they will be the most real manifestations. If you take these things too seriously, you can't face them with a normal heart, and it is difficult for people who lose their cool to survive on the battlefield, I think you should understand this truth. â
Zhang Jie snorted, but stopped talking. It seems to acquiesce in his words, and it seems to remember the past.
The heroine is really a very decisive person, no longer making senseless quarrels about the current situation, picking up the bag containing the Flame Empress and walking into the main room. Looks like it's time to reboot the main computer. Except for Wang Zongchao's group, everyone entered the host room with her.
Taking advantage of the gap when those people were leaving, Zhan Lan said, "Let's discuss how to persuade them to let us stay for a while." â
Several people gathered together and carefully checked what they were going to say. Actually, there isn't a lot to explain, and the more you say, the more you can get wrong. So the reasons they come up with are very sketchy, and it is difficult for the other party to find the flaws.
Soon they finished discussing, but Wang Zongchao suddenly said: "Then I wish the five Shun LĂŹ to return to the main god space, and by the way, I will say goodbye first." â
Everyone looked at him in amazement, not knowing what he meant.
Wang Zongchao raised his broken right arm, and the gauze that bandaged the wound was splashed with a lot of black dirty blood in addition to a little oozing potion.
"Zombie blood?" the crowd immediately realized what that meant.
The contagiousness of the T virus is extremely strong, and it has developed into airborne infection in the late stage of biochemical III, and although it is not so powerful at present, if you drink water containing T virus, or the wound is contaminated with T virus contaminants, you can basically avoid infection. Such as those corpses immersed in water containing the T-virus and those who have been bitten off by zombies.
"You have completely scorched and closed the wound before, and the gauze has medical alcohol and other drugs on it, which can be well disinfected and sterilized, so it shouldn't be ......" Zhan Lan hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade, but the more she spoke, the more confident she became.
Everyone felt a chill, especially thinking that Wang Zongchao, who was already injured, might turn into a zombie, and that was not enough, thinking of his terrifying combat power, once he became a stronger vengeful evil god or something......
"The word 'should' is well used! Although the probability of infection is not high, it is not completely impossible. Wang Zongchao replied with a joke.
"Brother Wang led me like this in order to save me, now even if he turns into a zombie and eats me, I will admit it, if any of you want to reject him, just come at me!" Mu Gang looked at the Desert Eagle in Zhang Jie's hand, and there was obvious hesitation in his eyes, but he still mustered up the courage to stand up.
Wang Zongchao pressed him with a smile and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't leave because I might get the T virus." I wasn't forced away by you. If I want to stay, which of you can stop me?"
What he said was the truth, although Zhang Jie's sand eagle was a threat to him, but at close range, most of the people who died were Zhang Jie himself, and when he was saving Mu Gang and in the laser channel, his ability to dodge bullets had been fully exposed.
"The reason why I don't want to stay is because your approach is to completely trust your life on the Flame Empress's defense system, once she wants to kill you, or the energy is exhausted, you will definitely die surrounded by a large number of zombies and creepers!
And according to the plot, two of them finally escaped from the hive with their own strength, and if they can do it, I will definitely be able to!" When he said this, Wang Zongchao's tone was not impassioned, but with a natural blandness.
"The power of the laser is obvious to all, as long as we stay in the Flame Empress's control room, she will also take the initiative to destroy the zombies and creepers in order to protect herself. Zhan Lan persuaded again, she still had a good impression of this iron-clad man, she knew very well that if the other party could survive, it would be of great help to herself, in contrast, he had a small chance of becoming a zombie The danger is worth taking.
"My fate is up to me...... God can't decide my life and death, how can I hand over my life to an intelligent program? Even if it is a way to live, I will choose a way to survive with my own hands!" Wang Zongchao's resolute words made Zhan Lan unable to speak anymore, she realized that the heart of the man in front of her was definitely not something she could guess, they were not originally from the same world.
She couldn't help but have a sentence in her heart - dragons don't live with snakes!
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the mercenaries walked out, and Wang Zongchao glanced at each other and greeted them.
Zhang Jie spoke first and said to Matthew who was walking in front: "Except for Wang Zongchao and Zeng Rong, the five of us stayed. â
Matthew was stunned by this, and it took a long time to say, "What do you mean, I don't have time to joke now." He was about to explain to them the rest of the arrangements, but he didn't expect the other party to leave with them at all.
Wang Zongchao opened his mouth and said, "Except that my combat strength is still retained and I can go with you, a few of them are ready to stick here." As you probably already know, the four of them are just ordinary people. It's basically impossible to keep up with you, following you will only drag you down! And Zhang Jie must stay behind to protect them.
As for Zeng Rong, he must go out immediately to get the antidote from the company, otherwise he will be like those zombies. â
Matthew was silent for a while, and Zhan Lan had already interjected: "Captain, everyone, you all know our physical fitness, we can't keep up with your pace if we escape all the way, instead of becoming those zombie monsters, the captain doesn't think that let us stay here quietly, waiting for the follow-up rescue force that may still arrive, this is the only way for us to survive, isn't it? â
Matthew said helplessly: "Okay, I see. Kaplan, turn on the defenses of that laser channel, and you can stay inside, after all, it's the safest place. Wait hard, and if we don't die, we'll report your situation to the company...... Even if they want to abandon you, we will try to reveal this place to the outside world, so that they will be forced to send a rescue team under pressure!"
Zhang Jie and the others walked into the main room, Kaplan silently turned on the defense system, and the atmosphere of the mercenaries was also very low. Alice asked Philip next to her, "Did you say they would survive?" Philip shook his head, not speaking, not knowing whether to say no or not to know.
Both sides looked at each other through the window, and there was a sense of farewell in their eyes. Watching Wang Zongchao and the mercenaries finally leave, Zhang Jie said in a tone of lesson: "See, if it weren't for Wang Zongchao's recklessness to save people, how could he, as the strongest combat power, become the first one to die?"
It seems that in his eyes, Wang Zongchao, who is likely to have been infected with the T virus and needs to face the creeper, is already a dead man!
