Chapter 12: Whose Position?

After cleaning up the mess, Bai Hengyuan walked over, his posture was chic, not at all like the appearance of just finished a fight, and said with a bright face: "Let's go, you also go to cut two practice hands." ”

Big brother, do you want to be so cruel? Gu Lian knelt down, looked at it from afar, and saw three skeletons trembling trapped in Fan Ziling's barrier, and one of them even knelt down, skinny and miserable, Chen Zhi was holding hands and looking indifferently beside her, she looked strange and pitiful.

She shook her head and said, "No, you ......," she paused, "Let's get rid of it." ”

Bai Hengyuan smiled: "What are you afraid of? With us here, if you don't practice now, you will die when the time comes." ”

Gu Lian felt that she was a little hypocritical, but she was unwilling to slaughter senselessly, so she shrunk her neck and refused: "Forget it, deal with it earlier, you should rest as soon as possible, you are also tired after a few strokes, right?" Don't think that if you pretend to be thirteen and look radiant, others will not be able to see that your face is full of sweat.

"Why?"

Gu Lian held back for a long time: "Killing prisoners is ominous!"

"Hahaha!" Bai Hengyuan laughed, his face changed immediately, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people smell the unique rust smell of blood, "Do you sympathize with them?"

Gu Lian was shocked by the evil aura that he had just carried out the killing, and she felt speechless for a while. She steadied herself and glanced quickly at the others, the stagnant air quickly telling her what she had to do. She raised her breath to resist Bai Hengyuan's might at the moment, smiled at him, he was stunned, and in their eyes, he walked towards Chen Zhi and said softly: "Tired." ”

He quickly drew his sword and looked at Fan Ziling: "Can I go in?"

Fan Ziling showed a slightly strange smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

She stepped into the green semicircular barrier, and in the skull's pleading motion, she neatly cut off her head, and the bones fell, she sighed, returned the knife, and said thank you again.

Chen Zhi took a deep look at her and silently put away his sword.

Gu Lian showed a smile on her face, endured her tiredness and said, "Can you go back?" Let's go, I'll go back and help make Chinese food, and you can also drink water and rest." ”

Maybe the pleading in her eyes was too strong, or maybe his goal had been achieved, Bai Hengyuan stared at her not far away, smiled slightly, and simply responded: "Okay." ”

Gu Lian slowly dragged her steps, and Chen Zhi's deep voice came from behind: "Remember, sticking to your position is the foundation of holding your body. ”

She was stunned and watched Chen Zhi's tall back stride past her, with a wry smile on her lips. For her, the battle with these skeletons is like the relationship between the ancient Central Plains and Mongolia, so it doesn't matter how fat and beaten you are during the war, but when the other party has no strength to resist, she has to be forgiving and forgiving. But she forgot that this is the last days, and in the days of precariousness, when people have grown up in blood and death, how can they forget the bitter hatred and the fear of persecution day and night. What's more, the other party is still such a alien and foreign body, not my race, and his heart will be punished.

It's like the life-and-death relationship between modern people and terrorists, it's a matter of position, and if you abandon your position to sympathize with the enemy, then you will also be abandoned by your own side.

As Chen Zhi said, for the sake of her own consideration, she should not let herself continue to think. She can only fit into this cruel world by shielding some of her thoughts.

But give up thinking, is it really right? Gu Lian didn't know, only vaguely felt ridiculous.

She is just an ordinary high school student who grew up in a peaceful era, and she is at a loss in the face of such a mean world.

Gu Lian returned to the bus, abandoned all her previous thoughts, and devoted herself to the process of cooking. In fact, she was not good at cooking, and it was already a lot to be able to cook simple dishes two or three times a year at home, but fortunately, there was a shortage of materials here, and under the guidance of Zheng Yihao and Fan Ziling, she simply boiled and stir-fried, and there were not many tricks, and it was done quickly.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with a sense of accomplishment: "How is it, I'm not bad too, right?"

Wei Xuan swallowed his saliva, twisted a piece of charred pork slices in Zheng Yihao's frightened eyes and swallowed it, frowning and trying to swallow, Fan Ziling couldn't look at it, took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers and the corners of his mouth, while his throat rolled, and said with a bitter face: "It's okay." ”

Gu Lian was a little embarrassed, and their expressions were almost accusing her of child abuse. She pursed her lips, picked up the burnt ones that she couldn't eat in a little depression, pulled them all into her bowl, and finally whispered, "...... I won't next time. ”

Zheng Yihao was the most soft-hearted, handed the bowl over, and said in a low voice: "Give me half of it." ”

"No, I'll eat it myself. Gu Lian shook her head, ate with her rice bowl, hung her head, and even her hair showed a kind of depression. She really hadn't eaten anything so harmful, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to master just stir-fried dishes. Thinking of being at home, the dishes that my mother brought with full color and flavor were occasionally burnt, and they were all carefully cut off for her and thrown away, saying that it was not good for her health. And now not only can I not even do this kind of trivial thing well, but as the only daughter whose parents are like pearls and jade, I want to swallow all these things that were thrown away one by one, and my heart is becoming more and more blocked.

Trying to swallow it together with a sour choke, Gu Lian felt that her throat was sore. Mother Lord, this scorched thing is really wrong! Silently, he took out his own water and handed it to Wei Xuan. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zheng Yihao still holding the empty rice bowl at a loss, waiting to share it for her, she limped with chopsticks again, silently pinched two chopsticks, and stuffed them into his bowl.

Wei Xuan glanced at her twice, obediently took the water and drank it. And Zheng Yihao didn't know that being considerate at such a time made her even more uncomfortable, and she hesitated, Fan Ziling couldn't help but smile at Bai Hengyuan when she saw this, and said slowly: "Speaking of today's skull nest, what do you think?"

Bai Hengyuan knew that this was changing the topic, and immediately followed: "I don't know, it looks simple, but the skeletons here are more serious than the old capital, let's take a few steps and see the situation." The last time I heard someone say at the expedition base that Shandong has not been quiet in the past few months. ”

Chen Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Hengyuan shook his head and said: "This is also a rumor, it is said that there are a lot of people who have gone and never returned here, I am also saying this, even if you have heard of it, there may be a medium-grade skeleton nest here." ”

"The medium-grade skull nest is nothing, but it is the hardest hit area. Fan Ziling shook his head and glanced at him, "Not only?"

Bai Hengyuan raised his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "There are ...... Mutant creatures, possibly mutant wolf packs. ”

The color of everyone changed, and Gu Lian was stunned by the action of scorching meat, and she wanted to smash the table. In this hellish place, what mess of treasures haven't been taken out to scare her?

"This aspect ......" Chen Zhi groaned and glanced at Zheng Yihao, "There is a lot of news over there, have you heard anything?"

Zheng Yihao has a good character, great strength, does not put on a show, and has a lot of ink in his stomach, compared to Chen Zhi, a high-ranking swordsman-like figure in the base, he is more popular with the people at the bottom, and he can know an ear for anyone who has a disease and dies.

Zheng Yihao pondered for a moment and hesitated: "The number of people in the base has not changed, but I heard that Sister Qing and they went to Shandong ......."

Fan Ziling raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Yu Qing, what is she doing here?" looked a little worried, and then asked, "How long ago happened?"

"It's been at least two months. ”

Wei Xuan said: "Two months!"

Several of them looked serious. Gu Lian felt a little scared when she heard this, and unconsciously put down the bowl, biting her lip and blinking her eyes, looking timid.

Bai Hengyuan saw her like this in a blink of an eye, smiled secretly, and said to Gu Lian, who had been embarrassed to speak: "Do you know why we knew that these skeletons were not a threat as soon as we saw it?"

Gu Lian didn't expect to be named, paused, shook her head and said honestly: "I don't know." ”

"You see, the skeletons were fast, but they were disorganized, and the ranks were not neat, so they rushed over without hesitation. Bai Hengyuan explained carefully, "This shows that there are no higher-grade skeletons in command, the dragons have no leader, no matter how many low-grade skeletons there are, as long as we have the strength, there will be no danger, these can be seen by experience." ”

Gu Lian digested the racial characteristics of the skeletons, thought about it, and asked again, "In that case, why do you seem to be so much more cautious than before they came?"

Bai Hengyuan smiled approvingly, his eyes turned to the window, and a trace of worry crossed his eyebrows: "A single skeleton is likely to be a spy of the skeleton nest, do you know about this matter?"

Gu Lian nodded, as if she had a clear understanding in her heart.

"Then have you ever thought that if you promote it again, a low-grade skull nest may be a temptation, a striker, and a spy for a huge high-grade skull nest?"

Gu Lian opened her mouth wide, speechless, and it took a while before she eased up: "This ...... Those skeletons are just sentinels, so how many high-end soldiers are waiting for them?"

Wei Xuan comforted her: "Sister, don't be nervous, it's just a possibility, maybe it's just a coincidence, right, Hengyuan?"

Bai Hengyuan glanced at Wei Xuan a little surprised, then glanced at Gu Lian, and said slowly: "There is still a possibility, but don't panic too much, this situation is rare." ”
