Chapter 161: Funeral
Qin Qin turned his face, turned his head to look at Liu Chenggang and said, "Brother Liu, you continue to deal with the wounded, the cleaning outside will be completed soon." Look, will you disperse to the other cars in a moment, or are you going to drive this car back anyway? ”
Liu Chenggang looked at his small passenger car that had been smashed to tatters and almost looked like it had been doused with dirty blood from beginning to end, sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll go out with you and discuss with their captains, I'm afraid this car can't be driven anymore." ”
Qin Qin nodded, turned around and walked out of the bus, the extremely thick bloody gas in the car made her breathing very difficult. Although the outside is also full of the smell of zombies, it is still much better than the inside of the closed car box.
As soon as Liu Cheng got out of the car, he saw the other three captains walking towards him. He was really not in the mood to be polite, so he directly told the current situation, hoping that several captains could vacate two or three vacant seats for him and his comrades.
The four captains, including Qin Qin, naturally agreed, and then assigned seats according to the number of seats available in their cars. Liu Chenggang really didn't want to stay here longer, and after the crystal nucleus was collected and the five teams were divided equally, he urged everyone to leave this sad place.
Qin Qin: The assigned car was an infected ordinary soldier and Liu Chenggang himself. Qin Qin arranged the two of them in the back row, and at the same time sat next to him to take care of them. Liu Chenggang had awakened his physique enhancement in the previous winter, while Qin Qin had strengthened his strength, and he was not afraid of the zombies' bites. In the event that something happens to the soldier on the road, the two of them are also capable enough to contain the zombie at close range.
Although he didn't clamoring to commit suicide or leave voluntarily to toss people, the desperate expression on his face made everyone in the car unbearable, and the atmosphere was as quiet as if he was going to attend a funeral.
Qin Qin leaned back on the back of the seat and observed the soldier's side face. Although most of his face was stained with dust and blood, he could vaguely tell that he was not very old, only about twenty years old. Qin Qin thought about himself and others of the same age, and then thought about this soldier, and his sympathy couldn't help but be even stronger.
Fine sweat broke out from the soldier's forehead from time to time, and it was not known if it was because of fear or if it was due to uncontrolled changes in itself. His eyes were fixed on the lower point in front of him, motionless, and his lips were trembling slightly. It was clear that he was very scared now, and even though years of military life had cultivated his excellent skills, the fear of imminent tragic death had almost crushed him.
Qin Qin only felt that his mouth was dry, and his body was also a little cold, but no matter what he said, it seemed a little redundant. Although she has a way to increase the success rate of that person in surviving the zombie virus infection, whether it is for herself or her entire team, those special foods cannot be taken out, let alone revealed to the base. Qin Qin now feels like a child with a strange treasure, either ruthlessly ignoring all the poor people he encounters, or he will selflessly hand over the secret, and will be trapped in the base from now on, without any freedom. The teammates were reduced to the status of ordinary squads, struggling to survive on the little drinking water and food they collected every day.
Thinking of this, Qin Qin exhaled softly, and the entanglement in his heart gradually calmed down. What else is there to be embarrassed about, after all, I am not the character of the Holy Mother who saves the suffering, and it is important to compare a strange life with the safety of his own team. In the current world, everyone is struggling to survive, and she is naturally no exception. Since she hopes that she and her friends can live a better and more comfortable life, then there are very few people she can save and dare to save, and she can only silently watch all the misfortunes she encounters.
"Here we are." As Zhou Beichen's gentle voice sounded, the whole car also stopped not far from the gate of the base. The team members sitting in front of the car stepped out of the car one by one and stood quietly by the side of the car waiting. Qin Qin looked at the soldier beside him who was trembling slightly, sighed, nodded lightly, and walked out of the car without looking back.
A moment later, Liu Chenggang helped the soldier out of the car. Seeing this, the guards who rushed to help hurriedly stepped forward, but after Liu Chenggang whispered a few words, they dispersed silently. Qin Qin and the team members stood silently by the car, watching Liu Chenggang help people into the base. That was all they could do, to give the soldier a salute and send him on his last journey with dignity.
In the afternoon, various gossip began to spread around the base. It is said that although this operation was very fruitful, in addition to Qin Qin and their side, there was also another soldier who was bitten by a zombie. The loss of three ordinary soldiers at once was almost unbearable for the base, after all, these people were professionally trained, and they were several times stronger than untrained ordinary people to deal with zombies, and they were not much better than those newly awakened first-level strengtheners. It's just that no matter how powerful they are, they are unlucky after all, and those who have not yet awakened have a natural and irreparable disadvantage when facing zombies.
No matter how determined and courageous these three people were to defend their families and defend the people, they bravely fought against the zombies along the way, regardless of life and death, but death was inevitable in the end. No one knew what the base was doing with them, but the next day outside the community, by the Bishui River, the base held a small funeral, presided over by the head of the group, and gave the three of them a solemn funeral.
This is the custom of the base, and several soldiers who have died one after another in the past have also been buried in this way. Qin Qin was dressed in black and watched silently. She didn't know if she had killed those two indirectly, but if she was willing to do it, at least one of the two who acted with her would survive.
"Don't think about it, life and death are fate, even if you want to make a move, I will definitely stop it, this is not the time when you can be willful." Zhou Beichen looked at Qin Qin's expressionless face and the slight wetness in his eyes, gently hugged her shoulders, and whispered comfort.
Qin Qin showed a pale smile and said lightly: "You don't have to comfort me, since I have made a choice, there is no need to cry regret it hypocritically." I know I'm too timid to take that risk, and my heart isn't as soft as it used to be, and it's not as sad as it is for strangers. Their lives are their lives, and so are yours, and I can't be selfish and only care about the well-being of my own heart, and yet trap you all. I've seen enough deaths to make me a little numb. ”
After saying that, Qin Qin looked at the direction of the cemetery, bowed deeply, and then grabbed Zhou Beichen's arm without hesitation, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
