Chapter 120: The Death of a Veteran
Steward Yu came in with the soldiers and got a good effect, there were a lot fewer people making trouble on the street, and the situation was stable everywhere he passed, Wan Qing finally heard some good news in the cry for help, and his face looked a little better.
So when Steward Yu proposed that more manpower needed to suppress the rioters who rushed out of the cafeteria, Wan Qing agreed without much thought. The base of 40,000 people, in total, only 4,000 soldiers on the surface and 1,000 private soldiers in the secret, it took 1,000 to maintain the security of the banquet, Steward Yu took 800 away, and transferred another 400 people, and there were less than 2,000 troops left.
The small soldier who was in charge of keeping watch on the periphery rubbed the handle of his gun, looking a little nervous, and looked in the direction of the inside from time to time. The veteran has no hobbies on weekdays, has no wife and no children, so he likes to tease Xinding, laughed when he saw this, and said: "What are you nervous about, our commander and General Manager Wan have never seen any battles, and we have dialed 3,000 people in, and it is only a matter of time before we get rid of the chaos anyway." ”
Seeing that the old soldier was not speaking seriously, Xiao Bing smiled very embarrassedly and whispered, "I...... I just wanted to see it. ”
They guarded the perimeter of the base, and the guns in their hands were not unused, and some weak skeleton groups were squeezed into the territory by the powerful skeleton groups, and they could only swing here; There are also groups of skeletons that feel that their teeth are hard, and they don't bite into hard bones. This little soldier has accurate marksmanship, and he is smart, throwing grenades is as happy as throwing firecrackers, and there are dozens of skeletons that have died in his hands, but he has never seen a fight between people with bayonets and blood, and it is impossible to say that he is not afraid, but there is still some secret excitement and curiosity in his heart.
"What are you looking at?" The veteran looked at the dark night, felt a little cold, wrapped his clothes, and snorted: "If you want me to say, it's better to look at the skeletons." What's so good about killing someone? It's dirty, it's like killing those skeletons, it's just a pile of bones, it's clean. ”
I don't know how many comrades-in-arms go so cleanly, and it is convenient to collect the ashes. The veteran was out of his mind for a while, and felt more and more cold, so he poured himself a sip of wine, felt a little warmer, and handed it to the soldier silently.
This little soldier has only been here for a few weeks, he looks good, he shoots neatly, and he knows how to honor his boss on weekdays.
The little soldier shuddered and said in fear: "Skeleton...... Skeleton? Will there be skeletons? Doesn't that mean they won't show up at night? ”
A few people next to him laughed, saying that he was young and timid, and that he was not helpful.
The little soldier was not convinced: "Didn't you just come a wave of skeletons a while ago?" It also caused the people in the welfare home to be homeless......"
"What's that? As long as you don't hit the inner perimeter, you can do whatever you want. "The soldier grinned, it didn't take it seriously.
Xiao Bing wrinkled his eyebrows in a daze, pouted as if he was a little aggrieved, and whispered to himself: "Why are you ...... like this?"
At this moment, the old soldier's expression suddenly moved, and he pointed outside and said, "Is there any sound over there?" ”
"What sound? Wind, right? "The others didn't care much, for the sake of safety, there was still a person who turned on the night vision goggles, and his face changed greatly at a glance, and he hurriedly shouted: "Small-"
The sound stopped abruptly.
The others were still chatting and didn't notice that one of their buddies had fallen. In the darkness, one after another, people were covered and their necks were wiped. The man's expression was so light and ornate that no one became alert until the fourth man fell.
"What's going on?"
"Where's Lao Zhang?"
"What does it taste like...... Blood? Who got hurt?! ”
While a dozen people were panicking, people had already fallen one by one. They pointed their guns at each other in horror, and at the end of the confrontation, they also died one by one, and people didn't even know how they died.
The veteran took a deep breath and stepped back for the first time, while pulling out the alarm machine and about to press it.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of the little soldier crying in a panic: "Brother! Over there! It's the skeletons coming! ”
The veteran's hand shook, and when he subconsciously looked up, a familiar and delicate face came into view, and he had a bright smile. His pupils shrank and he opened his mouth to exhale, but his throat was cold and blood splattered. His eyes were full of anger and fear, but his rough hand pressed against the machine, straining to touch the button, but not having the strength to press it again, his fingers trembling, leaving blood-colored handprints on the button.
He finally died.
When he died, his eyes subconsciously looked at the base, worried, anxious, remorseful, and a trace of nostalgia and relief.
He didn't become a skeleton, he had a different ending than most of his comrades - he died at the hands of humans, and he didn't die clean.
But in the end, he died as a human being.
The little soldier squatted down, brushed his eyelids with his hand, made him close his eyes, and sighed lowly: "I'm sorry, brother." ”
The neat and light footsteps of the skeletons sounded, and he didn't look at it, but waved his hand, "You guys go in." ”
Without saying a word, the skeletons walked around him and the veteran, and as they stepped past the other soldiers, they cut their skin, and they became skeletons, except that the skeletons of the dead could not move, and could only lie there forever.
The little soldier had a complicated expression, looked at the starry sky, drank a few sips of wine, and saw the bloody hands by the moonlight, he couldn't help but sneer, and said quietly: "Brother, you're right, what's the good of killing people?" It's dirty. ”
Footsteps came from behind him, and the little soldier glanced at it and said to the visitor, "Do you want to take a bite?" As soon as the words fell, he shook his head again and withdrew his hand with a smile, and drank, "Forget it, what do you drink as a child." ”
In the desolate and vast night, the blood was filled with blood and white bones. The pale skeletons marched in silence, with an eerie sense of ritual.
Ari's black grape-like eyes were as black as ink, and the already thin little man looked more and more thin and boneless, obviously just a child, but a little haggard, as if he hadn't been able to sleep well for a few days, and he was holding a blood-dripping steel knife tightly in his hand.
"I hope Uncle Wang is doing well inside." Xiao Bing said with a smile, but his expression was gloomy, "If my mother can live openly and honestly in the future, I will be willing......"
Stunned again.
The situation in the base is under control. Wan Qing was at ease with the Yu family's safety, and did not forget to report safety to Su Baiming on the way to fight the fire. Wherever the army goes, strife disappears.
Wan Qing secretly praised the Yu family in her heart, and they are still quite capable.
Melodious and gorgeous waltz, three beats, slow dance.
Gu Lian soon found out that Su Jingming was a rare good dance partner, he not only danced well by himself, but also guided others, with a slight force on the back of his shoulders and a traction on his feet, she was like a flower blooming in his arms. Dancing with him is not only worry-free, but also pleasant, the beat seems to be on high heels, and every landing is just on the spot. The skirt is flying, the movements are smooth, and the lights swirling overhead are like a gorgeous and strange dream.
She was cautious at first, lest she lose face or step on his feet, but soon she was able to raise her head and enjoy dancing under his patient guidance, and even had the energy to observe others.
Another nice spin, kicking, tilting head.
She glanced at Su Baiming's side and walked over to a person, and after saying a few words, his brows furrowed slightly.
got up, turned around again, and landed on tiptoe with Su Jingming, gracefully locking and sliding.
There was another person next to Su Baiming, and after listening to a few words, his brows loosened, and he seemed to be in a happy mood.
Looking at it again, Su Jingming suddenly turned around, caught her waist, stopped dancing, and blocked her vision. Gu Lian was slightly startled and looked up at him, the gloom in his smile could no longer be hidden.
"Miss Gu, you seem to like watching others more than dancing." (To be continued.) )
