Catastrophe Chapter 43 Lao Xu's Relic
"What will you do if I don't agree to this?" After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yu finally raised his head and looked directly at Lin Xuan, and asked the question in his heart. Although he was still extremely reluctant to let Lin Xuan go on an adventure with his group, his own reason told him that Lin Xuan couldn't give up so easily. And if this guilt in Lin Xuan's heart is not released, this painful feeling will undoubtedly follow her for the rest of her life, which is also not a situation that Zhang Yu wants to see.
Seeing that Zhang Yu's tone had loosened, Lin Xuan felt inexplicably relieved, if Zhang Yu still bit his mouth and didn't let go. Then he will definitely not be able to join Long Hao and the others' team today, after all, compared to himself, Long Hao will care more about Zhang Yu's opinion, there is no doubt about it.
As a result, just as Long Hao imagined, Lin Xuan did not hide it, and directly and simply said the truest thoughts in his heart: "I can't live in this kind of guilt for the rest of my life, if I can't join your team, I will still try my best to join other teams." Maybe you think I'm weird, maybe you want to tell me that there is no one right or wrong in this last day, but with these words there is no way to remove the guilt in my heart, I know that you are worried about my safety, since I have decided to make atonement for my mistakes no matter what, then it is safer for me to act with you, right? ”
Zhang Yu was silent again, but this time he didn't think about it for a long time, after all, there were still many people present who had been watching the two of them. After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and made a final decision, stretched out his hands and firmly held Lin Xuan's arms, "Okay, since you also said that you have to go out no matter what, then act with us, you will be responsible for deploying the serum and providing some information about the mutant, you don't have to participate in the battle, so it will be much safer!" ”
Lin Xuan took the initiative to get close to herself, which was actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhang Yu, and was about to continue to communicate with Lin Xuan when she was rudely interrupted by other people on the side, which was really unbearable. Do you want to spend the moon and fall in love, and then talk about it when there are only the two of you in private? What's the matter with showing them here?
"Okay, second brother, since this matter has been decided, then if you have anything to say to Lin Xuan, talk about it slowly in the future, and now let's get down to business first." In the end, he couldn't stand Zhang Yu's licking behavior, and Long Hao took the initiative to stop Zhang Yu, so the next person to ask was of course Lai Wanting, another woman who stayed here. Seeing Long Hao's gaze on herself, Lai Wanting was also simply, and before Long Hao could ask, she took the initiative to explain the reason.
"I'm a woman, I used to pour my whole body and soul into my family, and now, my husband and children have died at the hands of mutants. Now the only reason to keep me alive is revenge, and I made it clear that I want to join the rescue team! It's not that I want to save more people, I'm just an ordinary woman, and I don't have the kind of righteousness that sacrifices my life and forgets death! Now the only reason to keep me alive is revenge, and I can't think of any other reason to live than revenge, although I may not be able to help, but to see those mutants destroyed with my own eyes is the greatest desire for me. ”
After listening to Lai Wanting's words, everyone here became more or less sad, why didn't they lose a lot of relatives and friends in the disaster?
Long Hao didn't say anything about the deceased, in today's situation, isn't revenge a kind of motivation? The grief and deep hatred for the mutant expressed between Lai Wanting's words were felt by everyone present, how could Long Hao not empathize? This was originally a voluntary action, Lai Wanting said everything about this, Long Hao had no reason to refuse her again, and rejecting her was not necessarily a good thing.
Thinking of this, Long Hao also simply agreed to Lai Wanting's joining, Lai Wanting is also one of the executives of Longteng Security Company, and also has a very outstanding ability in personnel transfer and distribution, and such a person may be needed in the team to arrange the rescued survivors.
"I don't need to ask, just like you invited me to Longteng, I'm used to being idle in my life, I have no reason, I just want to go!" Xue Qinghan on the side also spoke, and Long Hao didn't say anything more about him. As he said, although Xue Qinghan and Long Hao have a superior-subordinate relationship on the surface, Long Hao actually does not have the right to ask Xue Qinghan what he wants, after all, Xue Qinghan was invited to Longteng Security Company by Long Hao after several turnovers.
As for Xue Qinghan's newly recruited little apprentice Zhang Shanyu Long Hao didn't ask at all, his existence can actually be understood as Xue Qinghan's little brother, as for how Xue Qinghan will talk to him, whether he will take him with him, this is not a problem that Long Hao needs to consider.
"Alright! Who's next? Long Hao thought so in his heart, and then continued to scan the crowd, and then found that the rest of the people actually had nothing to ask. Because the only thing left that hasn't asked the reason is Xiahou Zhengbei, as for Xiahou Zhengbei's attitude? Let's put it this way, when he noticed that Long Hao's inquiring gaze passed, Xiahou Zhengbei directly handed him a puzzled look, "What's wrong, mouse?" Do you still want to ask me? ”
"Eh" Long Hao was choked for a moment, and he was suddenly a little speechless. Then he simply stopped asking Xiahou Zhengbei, anyway, it was in vain to ask, don't look at Xiahou Zhengbei is already in his thirties, but he has never started a family, and his old mother, who is dependent on each other, also died of illness a few years ago, and he has been following Long Hao since then, and there is really nothing to ask.
Since almost all the people who stayed behind had a reason to participate in the rescue operation, Long Hao didn't say anything more, now that the time was pressing, one more minute of delay would result in more survivors dying in Huangquan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sooner the rescue operation, the better, since everyone has decided to go together, let's go down and prepare! Second brother, you go and help Qing Han and Lin Xuan prepare all kinds of equipment, I'll give you a special task force certificate later, what do you need, you go to the army's logistics department to get it! I have other things to deal with, so it's up to you to arrange the many matters of Xiao Xin and her in the safe zone. Xiaofeng still has the news that the four of you will form a rescue team to pass on, and see if any of the brothers below are willing to join the action. As for Brother Xiahou and Sister Wanting, you can go back and prepare, and in two hours, we will meet in the square downstairs! ”
Now that the matter has been basically settled, Zhang Yu and the others have nothing to say, and after a few simple conversations, they got up and prepared to go.
And Long Hao came to the door of Shangguan Yang's office alone after leaving this temporary conference room, and was just about to knock on the door, but happened to meet Shangguan Yang who seemed to be going out to do something, the two looked at each other, and Shangguan Yang showed a puzzled look in his eyes. In his hand, he unceremoniously rewarded Long Hao with a light punch.
"Stinky boy, didn't I tell you that the rescue operation was urgent? Why don't you organize people to come to me? I didn't give you the Einsatzgruppen certificate before, and the certificate I personally issued should be able to pass through the entire 21st District. If you don't have any reasonable reason today, do you think I'm going to clean you up and get punished on the first day you come back? ”
On the other hand, Long Hao did not answer Shangguan Yang's question directly, but took out a note from his jacket pocket in a somewhat low voice and handed it to Shangguan Yang. Shangguan Yang is a resolute character, and without waiting for Long Hao to speak, he took the note in Long Hao's hand and read it.
"Scout Xu Hong? Why are you giving me this? You want me to transfer this person to you? Isn't this just a numbered card? It was still a few years ago, and it is very likely that this man has already retired, do you think it is possible for me to spend a lot of time looking for him now? Shangguan Yang was stunned by what Long Hao handed over, he could see that this was issued by the Southern Military Region he led, and there was also the seal of the Southern Military Region on it, but this was something similar to a business card used in the army, and there was not even the specific unit number and information of this person named Xu Hong.
Seeing this, I believe many friends have already understood that this note is the one that Long Hao took from his pocket when Lao Xu sacrificed. As for Long Hao's intention to take it out now, Long Hao also bluntly told Shangguan Yang, "It's not for you to go to him, he has already retired and used to work in my company!" But on the way to the safe zone, he sacrificed himself to ensure that the whole team could move forward more smoothly. ”
"Then you want me to posthumously give him the name of a martyr? This should have been, but now the situation is really urgent, and the military doesn't have time to do these things! Yes, I know, they're all real fighters, but now the situation is really urgent, we don't have that much manpower and energy to do it. After listening to Long Hao's words, Shangguan Yang thought that Long Hao wanted to make a name for his heroic subordinates, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, if it was in the past, this kind of heroic figure certainly deserves to be praised and remembered, but now there are mutants everywhere rampant, coupled with the dispersion of personnel, the garrison troops everywhere are tired of coping.
"No, General, you're mistaken! I didn't mean that, Xu Hong was a qualified soldier, but he was kicked out of the army because he offended some people who played with power. For so many years, he had been trying to vindicate himself, but he did not achieve this wish until he finally died, and this note was taken out of his body, hoping that one day I could clear his name. Long Hao saw that Shangguan Yang had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained the situation to Shangguan Yang.
This is also the story of Lao Xu, he was actually a very good scout, and his development in the army can be said to be promising, but unfortunately in the end, because he offended a guy with a background, he was kicked out of the army on an unnecessary charge. This is the biggest shame and regret for Lao Xu, for so many years, in fact, he didn't want to find the commander who kicked him out of the army to apologize to himself or anything, he just wanted to prove that he didn't violate discipline and didn't want to bring this stain into the soil. This persistent emotion even infected Long Hao, so Long Hao took this note from his body, thinking that he could help Lao Xu clear his name when he had the opportunity.
As for the fact that he would have the opportunity to directly face the former old chief, Shangguan Yang, the supreme commander of the Southern Military Region, so soon, in fact, Long Hao did not expect it in advance, but since he had encountered it, Long Hao would certainly not miss such a good opportunity, he knew very well that Shangguan Yang's jealous and hateful character, and he would definitely investigate thoroughly when he knew that some of his subordinates abused their power to oppress ordinary soldiers.
Sure enough, after listening to Long Hao tell the ins and outs of this matter, although Shangguan Yang did not burst into a rage, he carefully put the note in his hand into his pocket, indicating that he took this matter.
Then Shangguan Yang patted Long Hao's shoulder, and showed a rare look of helplessness, "Playing with power, there will be such a group of people at any time." Haven't I fallen victim to the struggle for power? But I'm not going to sit idly by when this happens in my jurisdiction. Leave this matter to me, I will order someone to investigate it thoroughly, you kid can really do it, you know what my character is like, so you expected me to take this matter early, right? ”
