Chapter 18: Secrets
Because of an accidental encounter with a second-level zombie, the rhythm of the entire actual combat training was disrupted.
Company Commander Wang organized everyone to return to the car, and after confirming that everyone was still alive, he ordered to return to the safe zone.
This actual combat training lasted less than 10 minutes.
Of course, no one complained, and several people wished they would have gone back sooner.
Two of the young volunteers even retreated.
The two teenagers got together and muttered for a long time, and finally, they mustered up their courage, and one of the slightly chubby teenagers grinned bitterly:
"Company Commander Wang! The two of us wanted to quit volunteering. It's so dangerous to be a volunteer......"
Company Commander Wang was knocked unconscious by the zombies just now, and now his head still hurts, and when he heard the request made by the two teenagers, he waved his hand impatiently:
"Got it! When you two get back to the safe zone, you'll have to fuck off on your own, and she'll have to fuck off with her when she wakes up. From now on, no one else is allowed to talk to me about quitting! ”
In fact, in addition to these two teenagers, Zhang Yan, Yan Zhuo, Zheng Ziye, and Bai Lan, there was only an honest man in his thirties left.
Zhang Yan, the three of them will definitely not leave.
And the simple-looking man also shook his head, and said indifferently:
"I'm not leaving, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Surprisingly, when Bai Lan heard the word "terrible", she woke up from her slumber suddenly.
She looked at the people around her in confusion, and when she saw Yan Zhuo's smiling face, she shuddered, and the picture of Yan Zhuo's decomposing corpse appeared in her mind again......
Bai Lan retched a few times, and subconsciously leaned towards Zhang Yan's side, just to stay away from Yan Zhuo.
She's really timid.
Compared with zombies, Yan Zhuo's smiling appearance of dissecting zombies was more terrifying to her......
Zhang Yan glanced at Yan Zhuo with playful eyes, as if she was guessing what happened between him and Bai Lan, which would actually make Bai Lan's attitude towards him change drastically.
Yan Zhuo looked at Zhang Yan with a pure smile on his face:
"Why do you look at me like that? How could I possibly do anything to her? ”
Zhang Yan looked at him with suspicious eyes and didn't say anything.
She turned her head and told Bai Lan:
"Company Commander Wang said that you won't use it after you go back to the safe zone."
Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and her delicate face was pitiful.
But then, Yan Zhuo's words pulled Bai Lan into the abyss again-
"I think it's better for you to stay."
Bai Lan glanced at Yan Zhuo, her body stiffened, her brain was dizzy, and her whole person was completely dominated by fear!
Because of fear, she didn't dare to disobey Yan Zhuo's words, just like a rabbit didn't dare to challenge a wolf.
Bai Lan didn't think about it, so she shouted in panic-
"Company Commander Wang! I'm not going! I'm going to continue killing second-level zombies with you! Don't drive me away! ”
Company Commander Wang didn't care:
"If you don't go, don't go, just don't hold back. The next time you run to the air-conditioning rack and cry again, I'll throw yourself in the zombie pile. ”
Bai Lan nodded like pounded garlic.
The army cleaned up the barrier in time, there were almost no zombies on the streets, and the armored vehicles returned to the entrance and exit of the security zone unimpeded.
After coming to the entrance, Company Commander Wang left Zhang Yan, Yan Zhuo, and Zheng Ziye, and the rest of the people rushed down.
When the group of people was far away, Company Commander Wang looked at the three people in the car with a tired face and asked:
"Who has smoke? I've been holding back this addiction for too long. ”
Zheng Ziye silently handed Company Commander Wang a pack of cigarettes, and attached a lighter by the way.
Company Commander Wang lit the cigarette and took a puff, and the muscles on his face finally soothed:
"Thank you for what you just did, if you hadn't arrived in time, I might have ...... Well, you don't know my real name, do you? My name is Wang Pengfei, and you don't need to call me Company Commander Wang in the future, just call me Brother Wang. ”
Taking a big puff of cigarette, Wang Pengfei continued:
"You saved my life, I tell you a secret, it can be regarded as my kindness."
Speaking of this, Wang Pengfei's expression was a lot more solemn, and his voice was a little lower-
"From the very beginning of the virus outbreak, Bohai City has been designated as a quarantine area, and not a single living creature can be released until the serum is studied. When will serum be studied? Nobody knows, but what the people up there are telling us is ...... It takes at least ten years.
We initially locked down the city for three days, partly because the M560 virus showed up in patients who mutated automatically in the first three days of a major outbreak, and after 72 hours they were safe. There is another reason...... For three days, we were building the wall.
Bohai City is surrounded by mountains on both sides to the southeast and a lake on the west, and since ancient times, only the north side has been able to enter and exit the city, which is now surrounded by a 30-meter-high wall. Even on the other side of the mountain and at the end of the lake, there are people guarding it all day, and we can't leave here at all.
Just yesterday, the supply was cut off, and the food left was only enough to last a month, and it would be troublesome if there weren't enough people to gather food in that time. We don't know the reason for the supply interruption, but I trust the superiors that they won't abandon us like that.
And the so-called safe zone is not safe at all, and when there are more and more second-level zombies, the safe zone can't be prevented at all......
Why call volunteers to kill Level 2 zombies? We've heard that it's possible for a second-level zombie to mutate into something called a 'crystal nucleus', and if you eat that, you may have an ability.
If we had abilities, we could live longer.
Let's try to live, sooner or later, we will survive until the serum is successfully developed. ”
Hearing these words, Zhang Yan, Yan Zhuo, and Zheng Ziye all fell silent.
As a member of the quarantined group, Zhang Yan finally understood why the communication signal was cut off at the first time, and the affairs of Bohai City could not be transmitted, otherwise if this matter was used by some people with ulterior motives, the whole country would be in chaos.
She can understand, because she also feels that there is no good way to solve this situation except for the city-wide quarantine.
But if you want to say no...... Naturally, there are also some of them.
Why the supply interruption?
Isn't this forcing people to grab food from the mouths of zombies?
The feelings in the hearts of the three of them are probably so complicated.
After a period of silence, Yan Zhuo suddenly smiled:
"Ah, Brother Wang, I remember something. My profession is forensic medicine, so after killing that second-level zombie, I was very curious about its structure, and after a brief dissection, I actually found a purple crystal, is that the crystal nucleus of a second-level zombie? ”
Hearing this, Wang Pengfei's eyes widened, and he said eagerly:
"What?! Where's that thing? Show me! ”
Yan Zhuo shrugged:
"Bai Lan scolded me for being a necrophile, and in order to punish her, I gave her that thing to eat, so she fainted."
Wang Pengfei was angry and anxious:
"Hey! Why didn't you say something so big earlier?! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he jumped out of the car and chased after Bai Lan.
About ten minutes later, Wang Pengfei returned to the car with Bai Lan.
Bai Lan looked aggrieved, and when she found Yan Zhuo looking at her with a smile, she was immediately frightened.
Wang Pengfei patiently comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, Yan Zhuo is just playing around with you. Tell me, what strange reaction did you have after eating that crystal nucleus? ”
Bai Lan stabilized her mood and replied in a low voice:
"No special reaction...... It felt a little hot after eating it, and I passed out......"
Wang Pengfei was unwilling, and he was so anxious that he shook his legs:
"You didn't feel anything wrong with you when you woke up?"
If it weren't for Bai Lan being a little girl, Wang Pengfei would have started to check her body a long time ago.
Hearing Wang Pengfei's questioning, Bai Lan was even more scared, she covered her heart worriedly, secretly glanced at Yan Zhuo, and tears flowed out instantly:
"Woo...... I do not know! ”
Yan Zhuo suddenly seemed to remember something-
"One more thing comes to mind! I picked her up after she passed out, and my knife accidentally slashed her, but strangely enough, it didn't cut her skin. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Pengfei hurriedly pulled out a knife and grabbed Bai Lan's arm:
"I'll just give it a try! If it breaks, I'll give you seven days of paid leave. If it doesn't break...... Ha ha! It's not broken! ”
Speaking of this, Wang Pengfei couldn't help laughing.
He used three points of strength to slash Bai Lan's arm, but he didn't even leave a white mark!
Seeing this, Wang Pengfei was ruthless, and with all his strength, he stabbed the knife in his hand into Bai Lan's arm!
Bai Lan was so frightened that she sobbed.
But this time, with so much effort, Bai Lan's skin was only left with a shallow white mark!
Bai Lan was shocked and frightened, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Company Commander Wang, what's wrong with me? How strange! Will I turn into a zombie? ”
Wang Pengfei smiled:
"Zombies? No! Crybaby, you're about to become a hero! ”
He was in a good mood, drove into the safety zone, and sent Zheng Ziye, Yan Zhuo, and Zhang Yan back to the dormitory respectively.
In the end, Bai Lan was the only one left in the car.
Wang Pengfei glanced at Bai Lan:
"In the future, your identity will be different, you don't have to go back to that collective dormitory, I will arrange a single room for you at the female soldier's dormitory."
Bai Lan looked frightened and nodded confusedly.
……
Yan Zhuo had been a medical volunteer for a few days, so he didn't have to be crammed into the same dormitory with several people, and he was lucky to enjoy a separate room.
He crept back to his room and locked the door.
After using his reincarnation card to heal his internal injuries and taking a simple shower, he sat down on his soft bed.
Taking out the cleaned dark red crystal nucleus, Yan Zhuo did not hesitate to stuff it into his mouth.
Before the rejection came, he lay on the bed, covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and waited for the rejection to come in the most comfortable state.
Half a minute later, the rejection came as promised.
He had a splitting headache and fainted in less than ten seconds.
But a second before he passed out, the corners of his mouth were still smiling.
Since there is rejection, it proves - he succeeded!
