Chapter 326: Inner Turmoil
After the meeting, the team members who returned to their rooms to rest, most of them were lying on their beds tossing and turning, everyone was not very satisfied with the current situation, and they felt very difficult about the performance of the first day in this FJ city, on the one hand, they had to search for the trapped people in the fully infected city, and on the other hand, they had to build a safe area that was determined to be in this oil factory, too many things contrary to the plan before coming over are vivid, although the city level is smaller than that of N city, However, the difficulty of carrying out the task is not small at all, and there are still ten days to go, and no one knows what it will become.
The roar of the zombies outside when he was waiting for Pang Jun to come back at the gate of the factory just now made Zhang Weimin's heart lying on his bed at the moment unsettled, and he was still not very worried about the safety around the oil factory, so he sat up again, picked up the down jacket with a hole in the back shoulder on the stool on the side and put it on, and then picked up the submachine gun and prepared to go out.
Da Zhuang, who was in the same dormitory, saw that Zhang Weimin was about to go out, and then got up and asked, "Team Zhang, where are you going so late?" ”
Zhang Weimin said while opening the door: "I was going out to walk around the factory, I always felt that this neighborhood was not so safe, I had to go out and inspect again." ”
Da Zhuang hurriedly put on his coat and then chased forward and said, "I'll be with you!" ”
Zhang Weimin did not answer Da Zhuang, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, so Da Zhuang followed Zhang Weimin and the two downstairs together.
The two walked out of the dormitory building with flashlights in their hands, and walked along the path in front of the dormitory towards the main gate of the factory.
Da Zhuang followed behind Zhang Weimin, seeing that Zhang Weimin didn't say a word, he felt a little embarrassed, wanted to break the embarrassment but didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to follow Zhang Weimin silently, this is not the first time he got along with Zhang Weimin like this, when he was on duty in the police force before, the two of them had a few times when they were so alone but silent, Da Zhuang knew that every time he encountered troubles, Zhang Weimin would walk in front of him silently with a cigarette, and he would follow silently and not bother, until Zhang Weimin spoke first.
Zhang Weimin, who walked in front, held a tactical flashlight in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and walked towards the gate of the factory without saying a word, which he actually didn't have anything to worry about, because he was accustomed to such a state, and there was no way to plan tomorrow's things almost every day in the environment of the infected area, just like today, even if he had just discussed tomorrow's plan with all the people in the dormitory area of the oil factory, he still couldn't rest assured, this is because there are too many variables in the infected area, He doesn't know what the search and rescue work will be like tomorrow, whether the other group will meet Fan Jinlong's men when they go to the coal mine tomorrow to haul coal, and what will happen when they encounter it, these are completely unpredictable, and what kind of things will happen to Luca and the first batch of trapped people rescued by his team tomorrow, there are too many unpredictable variables in everything, and he just wants to go out to relax under the pretext of inspecting the safety of the factory at the moment. He was very grateful to Da Zhuang who was following him, and he knew that Da Zhuang was also worried about his own safety, and not talking to disturb himself was also a tacit understanding in the police force in the past few years.
Zhang Weimin didn't want the atmosphere to continue to be so embarrassing, because he knew that he didn't have anything to be confused about at the moment, so he threw away the cigarette butt that he had smoked and only had a cigarette holder, and then turned to Da Zhuang behind him and said, "Da Zhuang, when do you think we are going to be the head of our efforts like this?" ”
Da Zhuang, who had been silently following Zhang Weimin, was asked like this, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, but he quickly adjusted his state and replied: "Brother Zhang, to be honest, I'm just following the team to save people now, I just want to do my best to save as much as I can, I really don't know what specific purpose you said at present, as for when it's a head, I really think it's too early, after all, now the X reagent has fallen into the hands of the people behind the scenes, I don't know exactly when those people started using it, and we don't know exactly how these five new provinces were infected, and to be honest, I really don't know what tomorrow will look like. ”
Zhang Weimin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and patted Da Zhuang's arm and said: "Da Zhuang, you are right, I am the same as you think now, do you remember when we were recruiting, I really thought that as long as we did our best to search and rescue, we would soon be able to quell the zombie virus that only existed in N City at that time, but I never thought that this situation would develop like this now, N City fell, three provinces fell, and now eight provinces and cities have fallen, The speed of the expansion of this virus has far exceeded our imagination, from the moment we entered N City to carry out the search and rescue mission, we have been planning tomorrow forever, but tomorrow is always under uncontrollable circumstances, thinking about the lives around us are buried in this catastrophe, I feel ashamed of everyone, as the captain I can't lead everyone to achieve any achievements, on the contrary, there are so many people who sacrifice......"
"Brother Zhang!" Da Zhuang interrupted Zhang Weimin and said: "Don't say that, the brothers don't think you are not qualified, and you are not ashamed of us, until today we have always been working hard for a goal, but it is not your fault that the situation has developed like this, so I think you don't need to blame yourself and be sad, to put it badly, we can only live in the present, do our best to do what we should do, as for the future results, who knows!" ”
"Da Zhuang, I understand what you said, and I also understand the trust of my brothers, but now that the X agent is in the hands of the behind-the-scenes organization for a day, I can't calm down, and I don't know what Fleisman is doing, I'm really worried about the global outbreak of the zombie virus like in the movie, so that the human race will really be finished!" Zhang Weimin frowned and lit another cigarette.
"Brother Zhang, I think you have put too much pressure on yourself, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself like this, now although the X reagent has fallen into the hands of Fleisman and them, but we are not the same as before, we are not like in N City, we can not only clearly prove that we will carry out the task, but also have the support of the state, I just heard Sun Dashen say during the meal that now the eastern camp of Guangdong has successfully rescued hundreds of thousands of trapped people in one day today, This has to be said to be a good result, we have so many brothers helping and a strong country as our backing, what else do you have to worry about! Da Zhuang said comfortingly.
"Hundreds of thousands!" Zhang Weimin said with a wry smile: "It is indeed gratifying that the 41 search and rescue teams in the eastern camp have rescued more than 100,000 people in search of distress in one day today, but we have brought out such 10 search and rescue people in one day, and also took the names of 6 workers, compared with the achievements of others, we are ......."
"Brother Zhang, I have to talk about you, is this the field army military skills competition you participated in back then, we have to work hard in order to achieve good results, we can't be compared with others, I know that our current mission data is not good, but you have to think about it, each of the other 40 groups is a team of dozens of people, what about us, and the eastern battalion actually didn't treat us as our own sons at all, I think your competitive spirit should not be overflowing in this environment, we just need to be ourselves." Da Zhuang patted Zhang Weimin on the shoulder and continued: "Brother Zhang, let's think about the present first, what do you say about this guy called Fan Jinlong, how should we arrange it, I don't think this guy is a good stubble, and the coal mine is his territory, we will take him over tomorrow, I'm afraid it's not very good, the Pang team treated his subordinates like this on the way back, and also captured the boss of the family, if we form a group of people, I am worried that it will be dangerous!" ”
Zhang Weimin smoked a cigarette and looked at Da Zhuang, as a partner who had been with him for so long at the age of 4, Zhang Weimin felt in his heart that this stupid big man in the eyes of others had really grown a lot, although sometimes he was still a little impulsive, but now he began to know how to think more when doing everything, so he patted Da Zhuang and said while continuing to walk with him towards the factory gate: "Da Zhuang, you are not wrong to worry, I also know how dangerous our coal mine will be, but after all, this is our trouble. Although the Pang team said that they came back so late because they wanted to get rid of those people, Fan Jinlong's subordinates had already recognized them from the clothes of Tiezi and several of them as employees of the oil factory on the side, so they must come back to the oil factory, no matter whether their boss was there or not, and then there were many people on the other side, if we didn't think about calming down this conflict, then there would be no way to carry out the search and rescue mission later, so even if it was dangerous, we had to go! ”
"Let's get rid of my worries first, Brother Zhang." Da Zhuang immediately clapped his hands and said.
Zhang Weimin immediately nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean, maybe Fan Jinlong's subordinates can also increase the number of people in the safety area of our oil plant, and those people are all combat effectiveness, if they join, the safety near this plant will also be greatly guaranteed!" ”
Hearing Zhang Weimin say this, Da Zhuang's expression was still a little distrustful: "Team Zhang, I don't think you can think too well of these people, based on some of their deeds we have heard, I think your idea may not be so easy to realize!" ”
Zhang Weimin patted Da Zhuang's arm, and then pointed to his chest with the tail of the grip of a tactical flashlight and said: "Da Zhuang, people's hearts are flesh and blood!" ”
Da Zhuang pursed his lips and didn't continue, he was actually more cautious about people's hearts in this apocalyptic environment than before the outbreak of the virus, and he didn't think that it could be achieved in such an environment with virtue and persuasion, especially since the other party was still those demon kings who terrified the citizens of FJ City!
The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they came to the square at the entrance of the oil factory, in addition to seeing the helicopter parked in the square and the three cars driving back during the day, they also saw several fires burning at the gate of the factory, and there were two or three people standing around the fire, who were silently muttering something while adding something to the fire.
Looking at the dark mountains outside the factory area, as well as the roars of zombies from time to time, Zhang Weimin and Da Zhuang immediately got up, picked up their weapons, and quietly walked towards the end of the fire.
Slowly getting closer, they heard the voices of those people, it turned out to be Uncle Xu, Tiezi and Chang Xihao.
Zhang Weimin took Da Zhuang and put down his weapon and slowly walked behind them, and then asked, "Uncle Xu, what are you doing here so late?" ”
Uncle Xu slowly turned around and saw that it was Zhang Weimin, and after greeting him, he pointed to the flames on the ground and said: "Burn some paper for the few children who died during the day, so that they can have a better time over there, it's so pitiful, we haven't even brought back a complete corpse, we are burning some paper at the gate of the factory and guiding them to go home!" ”
"I have a heart, Uncle Xu." Saying that, Zhang Weimin and Da Zhuang took some paper money from Tiezi and their hands, squatted down and added a little to each fire, looking at these workers who had no chance to get together if it weren't for work, they had a family-like relationship, which made Zhang Weimin think of himself and his teammates, if it weren't for this disaster, everyone might not necessarily get together in this life.
Looking at Zhang Weimin and Da Zhuang, who added paper money to several young workers who sacrificed, Uncle Xu choked up and said: "The eldest of these children is only 22 years old, and the youngest is just 18, they are all bitter children, their families are poor, they can't afford to go to school, so they have to come to work with us at such a young age. I didn't expect that the virus made them have no hope for the future, and finally looked forward to you coming, but they ...... Hey, there's no blessed life, hey. ”
After Zhang Weimin finished burning the paper, he quickly got up and walked to Uncle Xu's side, and said comfortingly: "Uncle Xu, don't be sad, I believe they will be happy over there, have you booked the list of people you will follow us out with tomorrow?" ”
The narrator pointed to Tiezi and Chang Xihao, who were still burning paper money, and said: "These two children, as well as Liu Erwa and Erzhuzi, they will all go with you tomorrow, and the rest of us old guys will stay." ”
"Huh?!" Da Zhuang opened his mouth and asked, "Why don't you seniors leave?" ”
Uncle Xu raised his head and looked into the distance and said: "I am 59 years old this year, I can retire in another year, I am a native of FJ City, I have never been anywhere in my life, I have feelings for this place, let me go for a while, I am still a little reluctant to save it." ”
"Then don't you want to go out and meet your family, maybe they have already gone out, so that you can start a new life, and wait for the disaster to pass and come back, isn't it the same?" Da Zhuang said.
Uncle Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm ashamed, I've been a single all my life, I don't have anything to worry about, this factory is basically my home, and my old guys are basically like this, so a few of us want to stand here for the last shift, plus what happened to these children today, a few of our old guys summed it up, we can't let these children lose their lives innocently, we have to let them go first, Captain Zhang, since you have left this decision to me, then you can listen to my arrangement!" ”
Zhang Weimin was stunned for a moment and nodded silently......
