Chapter 455: Killing and Rebirth
Song Jianbin felt that his legs were trembling, and he couldn't take a step at all. But he still gritted his teeth and froze in place, forcibly suppressing the thought in his heart of turning around and running away. Frightened, he watched as the terrifying black-robed man slowly walked in front of him.
"You're the Supreme Commander here?" What is surprising is that the voice of this black-robed man is unusually pleasant, with a bit of metallic texture, which makes people unconsciously intoxicated.
Song Jianbin swallowed his saliva and replied, "Yes, yes." Dare I ask you, who are you? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am." The black-robed man raised his hand and pointed at the little girl in his arms with an angry face, and said lightly, "Her mother was captured by you three days ago. Bring her mother here and hand it over to me before dark, or I'll kill you all. ”
The indifferent tone seemed to be telling the most ordinary thing, and I saw the black-robed man raise his hand and wave, and the tall building next to him instantly cracked a crack of 100 meters from beginning to end.
"Don't question my abilities. Don't be clever. The black-robed man calmly turned to leave, then suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "If something happens to her mother, I will kill you all." Guaranteed not to leave a single live mouth. After saying that, he walked away directly, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.
Song Jianbin didn't know how he walked back, and he didn't even hear the adjutant's shout.
"Captain! Captain! Captain! ”
"Ahh Yes? What's up? Song Jianbin finally came back to his senses.
"General's call!" The adjutant handed over a communicator with a serious face.
Song Jianbin was shocked, and hurriedly took the communicator and stood upright.
"Song Jianbin reports to you! Be! Be! Be! Song Jianbin immediately reported what had just happened. After a few seconds of silence, the other end of the line gave him an order to stay put, and hung up.
Then there was a long wait until the sun turned west. The anxious Song Jianbin still didn't wait for a response from the command. It gave him a very bad premonition in his heart. There was even a commotion in his ranks. After seeing the horror of the black-robed man with his own eyes, no one dared to question her words.
As the sky grew darker and darker, Song Jianbin saw anger and despair in the eyes of many soldiers, and he felt that he had to do something, otherwise the black-robed man would have civil strife before he came to his side.
Song Jianbin reached out and picked up a megaphone and climbed onto the roof of the tank, and every soldier on the battlefield could hear his voice.
"I'm Song Jianbin , the supreme commander of the third line of defense."
Every soldier on the ground stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.
"I, like many of you, was an ordinary commoner before the end of the world."
There was a commotion on the position.
"It's just that I'm lucky. I met many good people or people worthy of admiration, so I lived from the day of the virus outbreak to today. In just over a month, I have seen countless deaths. There are the desperate, the unwilling, the heroic, and the heroic. There was even a time when I was no longer afraid of death, but a little numb. Whenever I'm alone, I even want to shoot myself in the head, maybe I'll be able to get rid of this damn world once and for all. ”
The soldiers gradually regained their composure, as Song Jianbin spoke the hearts of many people.
"But I couldn't, because every time I wanted to give myself a relief, I suddenly realized that I was really afraid of death. I don't want to die, because I promised many people to be strong and live. So I want to live. Even in this hellish world. ”
"Now that it's about to get dark, I want to escape and not die in vain. But I can't get out of here. Not because of some bullshit honor, but because I once met a guy who told me before he died. Song Jianbin took off the medal on his chest and squeezed it in his hand, pointed to the depths of the city and shouted: "The source of this damn plague is in the deepest part of this city!" Even if it's death, I'm going to find out who was the bastard who created this damn disaster and took the lives of our loved ones and friends! So I'm not going to take a step back! ”
"I now officially announce that the third row is disbanded in its entirety. Anyone who wants to leave should leave now. All the responsibility is on my shoulders! ”
"Captain, you're ......!" The adjutant rushed over with a nervous expression.
Song Jianbin pulled out his gun and pointed it at the adjutant, and said in a condensed voice: "Shut up!" Listen to Lao Tzu! I'm only going to give you five minutes, and after five minutes all the brothers who stay will come with me, and we'll go to the center of the city to settle accounts with that damn bastard!" ”
After a short silence, the position instantly boiled, and countless desperate and numb soldiers were reborn and ignited their fighting spirit, and there were also many people who were greedy for life and afraid of death who chose to leave silently.
In the end, the team of more than 300 people was left with only about 70 people.
Looking at the more than seventy soldiers with firm expressions below, Song Jianbin grinned and said, "You are all good, if there is a next life, we will continue to be brothers." ”
"Roar!! More than 70 people shouted in unison, and it was really imposing.
"Come with me!" Song Jianbin raised his gun and jumped out of the position first, but he froze as soon as he took a step.
Because a hundred steps away, the black-robed man was walking slowly with the little girl.
Song Jianbin raised his hand to stop the soldiers from following, gritted his teeth and took the initiative to step forward and stand more than ten steps away from the black-robed man, and said in a deep voice: "Your request has not been responded to by the command. ”
"Give back my mother, you bad people pay back my mother!" The little girl picked up a pebble and threw it over.
Song Jianbin did not hide, but let the stones fall on him. He kept staring at the black-robed man, swallowed his saliva and continued, "I know it's easy for you to kill us all, but I still want to ask you to give us a chance. Because I and the rest of the brethren have decided to go to the depths of the city to find the cause of the plague, and it is worth dying, even if it is to die! ”
The black-robed man raised his head, and a pair of bright eyes stared at Song Jianbin in the shadows. stared at him for a moment of silence before taking the little girl's hand and getting out of the way.
Song Jianbin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand behind him, and then led more than seventy warriors who regarded death as if they were at home and disappeared into the shadows of the ruins.
"Sister. Are they going to die? An Lei said confusedly.
Murong Feng nodded. Sighing: "They are all true warriors. ”
"But they're all bad guys who took my mom." An Lei said with a grudge.
Murong Feng touched the girl's little head. He said softly: "The real bad guy must be someone else." We're going to them and get them to hand over your mom. All right? ”
"Good!" An Lei gritted her teeth and said, "Then kill all those hateful bad guys." ”
Murong Feng shook his head helplessly, but he didn't enlighten her anything. Because if you want to survive in this troubled world, the last thing you need is kindness
***
Located at the junction of the eastern and northern districts of H City, it was originally a university town, and it was summer vacation when the virus broke out, so the relatively sparsely populated university town became a base camp for the government to help survivors. Later, the army arrived, and it became a temporary base.
At this moment, on several main streets outside the university town, countless elite soldiers with loaded guns are nervously defending here. Although the soldiers were not told what to deal with, the command even mobilized the remaining dozen tanks, and it was obvious that something terrifying had broken through the front line and killed them.
From time to time, the empty and silent streets were filled with the sound of fierce gunfire from the front. It turns out that the front line did not completely collapse. But the fact that more and more soldiers were gathered around him showed that something had really broken through the defense line and was coming to the base. Otherwise, the command would not have mobilized all its forces here in a desperate gamble.
"Searchlight!" The commander in front of the battle turned around and gave an order, and immediately several high-power searchlights flashed through, illuminating the streets in the dark night as bright as day.
Many of the soldiers stared at the street with nervous expressions, and their fingers holding their guns turned a little white from the force they had exerted.
But the imaginary horror monster did not appear, and the empty streets were empty except for the garbage that was blown by the wind.
And a group of high-ranking base officials in the command headquarters also stared at the big screen on the front line with solemn expressions.
One minute
Three minutes
Ten minutes
The black-robed man never appeared. The soldiers on the line began to make some commotion because of excessive tension.
"General, could that man be bluffing?"
The silence in the command room was terrifying, and everyone was turning their heads to look at an old man sitting on the main seat.
As the supreme commander of the Fifth Military Region, Wang Dehai always stared at the big screen with an expressionless face, and in the face of his subordinates' questions, he just pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "There are tens of thousands of civilians in the base. We can't take any risks. No matter what the other party is, don't let it into quarantine! ”
"Then why don't we give the woman to her as the man asks?" An official muttered.
A cold glint flashed in Wang Dehai's eyes. Said seriously: "Everyone in the base is the seed of the country's recovery, if we make a compromise today and hand over one person, we will give up more people in the future, so what is the difference between us and those monsters outside?" ”
"That's right! That's right! One of the generals shouted: "We must not compromise!" Otherwise, let those civilians know that we can't protect their safety, and once chaos breaks out, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable! ”
"And we can't be sure of each other's true intentions, and I don't believe that the other party is just for a woman. There must be a bigger conspiracy. ”
"Then what if the other party really kills him? That's a monster that can split through buildings with bare hands! ”
There were many discussions and quarrels in the command room for a while, and they were divided into three factions at once, namely the main battle faction, the compromise faction, and the silent neutral faction.
Wang Dehai saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, the main battle faction was basically the generals of the army, the compromise faction was mostly officials from the former H City, and the neutral faction was basically officials and representatives from all walks of life who had fled from other urban areas.
In the face of the increasingly fierce quarrel, Wang Dehai seemed to be deaf. It wasn't until the door of the conference room was pushed open and a nervous-looking staff officer walked in that the room instantly became audible.
"What's the matter?" Wang Dehai turned his head and asked, he knew very well that nothing major had happened, and this person would never dare to rush in the door.
"General, we just received a phone call" The staff officer swallowed his saliva and stared at the telephone on the table and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it was the black-robed man who called." ”
Immediately, there was a rush of breathing in the room.
Wang Dehai fixed his eyes on the telephone in front of him, reached out and pressed the answer button.
After a brief silence, a pleasant female voice with a slightly metallic texture came from the telephone, which stunned everyone present.
"You're the base's commander?"
"That's right. That's me. Who are you? What exactly is the purpose? Wang Dehai asked in a condensed voice.
"It's time. You didn't hand over who I wanted as requested. ”
An agitated general jumped up and shouted, "Who the hell are you?" What is the ulterior motive? ”
"I just want you to hand over that woman safe and sound. Since you won't do it, there's nothing to say. Goodbye, I hope you've left your last words. ”
"Wait a minute!! Wang Dehai glared at the interjecting general, and then said in a deep voice into the telephone: "That woman is in our hands, aren't you afraid that we will use her to blackmail you if you do this?" Actually, we could have sat down and talked. ”
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. There were only two options, either hand over the woman or die. ”
There was a sound of inhalation in the conference room, I didn't expect this person to be so ruthless.
"Isn't there any room for negotiation at all, Your Excellency? Then why did you call? Don't just show up and kill us? Wang Dehai asked sharply.
"Because I'm going to make sure you're hiding there. It's easy to find you. Okay, that's the end of the, we'll meet again soon. ”
Honk! ……
"Woo!!" The next moment, a shrill alarm sounded through the base, causing everyone in the room to be shocked.
With a bang, a staff officer slammed open the door and said in a panic: "General, the main gate of the base has been invaded by an unknown enemy!" ”
"What about surveillance?" Wang Dehai shouted.
The big screen in the conference room flashed, and a surveillance screen was immediately called up, and countless soldiers were firing fiercely at the gate of the heavily fortified base. Suddenly, a tank rolled over and crashed open the gate of the base, and then the skyrocketing fire completely blocked the picture, and then the picture flashed and completely lost the signal.
Then everyone felt a loud movement overhead. It seems that some monster is breaking through the layers of defenses and smashing into the base.
"General, let's retreat quickly!"
"It's all your fault, I'll just say that if you hand over that woman to that monster, there's nothing to do!"
"Ahh I don't want to die here! Get out of the way. Get out of the way, I'm going out! ”
"Let the leader go first!!
The conference room was in chaos for a moment.
Wang Dehai's face was gloomy for a while, and he pulled out his gun and fired three shots into the sky before shocking the panicked crowd.
"Give me all peace!"
The needle drop in the meeting room can be heard in an instant.
Boom! Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and it was an iron gate at the entrance to the underground base.
Bang!!! There was another loud bang, then a rush of gunfire, and suddenly the entire base became silent.
Everyone stared at the door of the command hall with wide eyes of horror.
After a brief silence, footsteps sounded in the aisle, and then the door of the command hall was pushed open, and a soldier with a pale face walked in tremblingly, slowly opening the door.
The black-robed man behind the door is revealed!
"Fire !!" For a while, there was a loud gunfire, and the soldiers who opened the door were instantly beaten into a sieve.
The black-robed man stood there quietly, countless bullets flying around her, all blocked by an invisible barrier.
Seeing such a strange scene, everyone was desperate.
Wang Dehai pushed everyone away and came out of the crowd, and said in a trembling voice: "We can hand over that woman." ”
"It's late." Murong Feng directly swung out a sword qi, instantly cutting everyone in the command hall into two!
In an instant, the blood sprayed red the entire hall.
Murong Feng directly blocked the harsh system warning, and with a cold face, he crossed the broken corpse on the ground to an iron door, and directly opened the iron door with his bare hands, only to see a trembling woman being imprisoned inside.
Murong Feng took off his hood and walked in front of her, and asked directly, "You are An Lei's mother?" ”
The woman trembled with fright, first nodded, then shook her head again and again, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm not." Please don't kill me, I was forcibly arrested by them to impersonate Wang Ya. Oh, Wang Ya is An Lei's mother. I'm their next-door neighbor. Please don't kill me, I really don't know anything. ”
"Don't worry, I'm here to save you. Do you know where An Lei's mother is? Murong Feng asked.
The woman seemed less frightened when she received Murong Feng's assurance, but she still choked up and said, "Wang Ya, she managed to escape halfway through being captured. After we women were caught here, in addition to washing and cooking, we had to be whined by those brutes every day. Please, will you take me out of here? ”
Murong Feng was silent, she had seen many unsightly scenes when she infiltrated the base before, so she would go on a killing spree, ignoring the system's warnings and leaving nothing alive. Some of these soldiers may be as generous as those seventy-odd warriors, but many more are inferior to beasts.
The collapse of moral order in troubled times is the most terrible! Once a human unleashed the demon in his heart, it was definitely a hundred times more terrifying than those zombies!
"Well, don't cry, I've killed all those beasts. You're free. Murong Feng said in a deep voice: "But if you want to live, you must take up arms and learn to fight!" ”
After Murong Feng finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the room, the opportunity was already in front of her, it was up to her to choose. In the end, the woman chose to live strongly, and stumbled out of the room with Murong Feng, only to be stunned by the blood stains all over the ground.
Suddenly, a low roar came from a pile of broken corpses, and I saw a severed corpse propping up its upper body and letting out a roar at the two of them.
"Ahh Zombie!!! The woman plopped and collapsed on the ground in fright, hugging Murong Feng's thigh and refusing to let go.
Murong Feng raised his hand expressionlessly and grabbed it, and a pistol that fell to the ground was taken and stuffed into the woman's arms.
"If you don't even dare to face the dead, then how can you deal with the living?" After Murong Feng finished speaking, she directly shook her hands away, jumped over the wriggling pile of corpses and walked straight out of the door.
After a while, the room was filled with hysterical screams and thumping gunshots.
Murong Feng waited for a while at the gate of the base in a mess, and saw the woman walking out covered in blood and dejected. She slowly walked up to Murong Feng, first bowed deeply, and then said in a slightly trembling voice, "Thank you for giving me another chance to live again." ”
Murong Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then saw a group of unclothed women slowly gathering here with various weapons.
"It's no longer human. If you want to live, you have to learn to survive and fight in this hell. Murong Feng said calmly: "The gun in your hand is your best partner. When someone or a monster comes to you for trouble, don't think too much about it, just pull the trigger on the heads of those stubbles. ”
In Murong Feng's voice of encouragement, the faces that were as gray as ashes gradually regained their vitality. (To be continued......)
