Chapter 497: Heart-to-heart
"That day, we were suddenly given a lot of glucose and compressed biscuits, and everyone in the unit was asked to stop training and go back to the dormitory.
That day, the cafeteria made only one dish, which was braised pork, and everyone's dinner plate was piled high, and it was all large pieces of braised pork with oil.
In this way, there are still faints and onset. After surviving the first day, we were involved in the rescue. ”
Memories are contagious, and Cheng Jiayi's memories evoke Wang Yong's memory.
"Hospitals fill up quickly. Then, the mutation broke out like a contagion. Everywhere there were crazy, hungry people with blood-red eyes, and screams everywhere.
Our warriors were caught, devoured, and I saw with my own eyes a new soldier, who was only eighteen years old, crying and breaking free from the hungry mutant, and screaming loudly. I watched this beautiful city become hell on earth.
I am very grateful to Brother Chu, when the whole city was at a loss, he gave the order to kill the mutant personality. ”
Wang Yong's eyes showed a trace of pain, "All mutants, whether they are civilian or military, as long as there are bloodthirsty, they will be killed." At that time, the whole city was filled with gunshots, screams, rivers of real blood, and corpses strewn everywhere. ”
Cheng Jiayi looked at Wang Yong in surprise.
"We killed for two days, literally going door-to-door, and all the survivors who didn't find the mutation were gathered to transport the bodies. The crematoriums were simply not enough, and the corpses were piled up and burned in the open.
In those days, the city was filled with the smell of blood and the burning of corpses, and the survivors had to replenish a lot of meat and hunt man-eating wild dogs and wild cats.
People who are searching for the city together one moment may mutate the next moment, the people around you may be fighting side by side with you one moment, and the blood-red eyes may be aimed at you the next moment.
Hell on earth is nothing more than that.
Fortunately, we were able to control the mutation in three days, do you know what it relied on? It is a mutated wild dog that preys on and eats people, wild cats, birds and beasts, and may even have human flesh. Everyone, all who survived, were forced to eat bowls and bowls of meat.
No one knows what kind of meat they are eating, only that if they eat it, it will not mutate and will not be cleaned up. Our city is finally at peace.
At this time, we finally knew that we are also mutants, but we still have our sanity to endure the suffering. I saw with my own eyes that some people couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by drinking bullets. ”
The eyes of this man, who Cheng Jiayi had always thought were cold and rational, finally revealed a deep sadness.
"It is harder to live than to die, because there is so much pain to live in. One day I saw Brother Chu crying, the man who had been killed by the mutant personality, standing in front of a cold pit where corpses were burned.
Later I learned that his wife had been burned in that pit. And whether his wife was killed because of mutation and cannibalism, no one can say.
But when he turned his head, he wiped away his tears, and he still had to guard the city and the border.
I sometimes wonder how ruthless a person must be to give such an order. But I wonder how much mercy a person would have to give such an order.
Later, I met Brother Jane, who was in charge of guarding the border, and he told me about the other side of the bridge, which was the real hell on earth.
None of us will escape the bloodshed of our own hands, but if it weren't for Brother Chu's thunderous order at that time, what would happen to this city in the end? Will all those who survive really survive in the end?
Brother Chu said that if there is really hell, let him go to hell alone. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and we just obey his orders.
Brother Jane said that we were already in hell.
I think that when people need to choose, they can only choose the people who are alive. ”
Wang Yong closed his eyes, and when he opened them, there was no sadness in his eyes, only calm: "So, in life, no one has dragged anyone." I recognized you, Zhang Hao, Gu Donglin, and even Qin Feng recognized you, and the people around you also recognized you.
No one will question your decision, only you will think about it and endure it until you can face your decision calmly. ”
"But I'm just a high school student." Cheng Jiayi blurted out.
Wang Yong looked at Cheng Jiayi: "Who else will treat you as a high school student now?" ”
There was a sudden commotion in the distance, and the two looked over, and a guard ran out from behind, and came back after a while, and said happily: "Little Duge, they are back, and they caught a bear and a lot of pheasants, and they have bear paws to eat." ”
Wang Yong looked at Cheng Jiayi and said, "Now, can you tell me about your decision?" ”
Cheng Jiayi hesitated and said, "I think, we can go north according to the plan, we can take the mountain road." ”
Wang Yong nodded: "We can hunt prey while hurrying, and we can continue training." Your mercenary's idea is actually pretty good. ”
"Really?" Cheng Jiayi felt a little confident, "Do you think we can continue to the north?" ”
Wang Yong nodded again: "Yes." ”
Cheng Jiayi pursed her lips and suddenly said, "But if you go north, you won't come back, I think...... I want to take my sister over. ”
Wang Yong shook his head and persuaded: "We have to go over mountains and mountains along the way, not to mention the hard work, it will be dangerous." Anything you encounter in the mountains and forests is possible. It's possible to encounter those mosquitoes again last time.
Let's wait until we have a place to settle down and then consider taking on the warmth. Don't worry, Brother Jian will take care of Nuan Nuan. ”
Cheng Jiayi did not insist anymore.
Cheng Jiayi knew that this was the first time she had made a decision since she was Sister Cheng. If her decision is correct and she can lead everyone to survive, she will be the real Sister Cheng in the future.
She won't think about what will happen if she makes a mistake, because there will be no more Sister Cheng at that time.
Weakness and hesitation are about to be a thing of the past, and she should be firm.
The most important thing is that she should no longer expose her weakness, and she should not always have to be persuaded by the people around her.
She has long since lost Li Li, and now that she has no Qin Feng, she should be Sister Cheng.
She sent guards to invite Zhang Hao, Gu Donglin and Du Yiyi to come over, and for the first time, she was in charge of presiding over an extraordinary meeting.
Cheng Jiayi was not used to the humble opening of the greetings, so after everyone arrived, she went straight to the point and said her thoughts, the pros and cons she thought.
In many cases, whether a decision can be implemented or not depends not on whether the decision is correct or not, but on the strength of the person who issued the decision.
Just the night before, Cheng Jiayi was still hesitant, depressed and decadent. After a night of hunting, Cheng Jiayi suddenly became confident.
Whether it was Zhang Hao or Gu Donglin, they all thought that this bloody hunt had inspired Cheng Jiayi's desire to kill, but only Du Yiyi sensed that something was wrong.
He knew something must have happened while he wasn't there.
He hoped that Cheng Jiayi could cheer up more than anyone else, but he couldn't cheer up himself, let alone how to comfort and persuade her. That's why he went out hunting, to reduce Cheng Jiayi's burden in this way.
Du Yiyi would never have thought that what made Cheng Jiayi confident was Chu Ningxuan's decision, and after the mutation, Chu Ningxuan made a decision in this border city.
