The Road to the Cocoon Chapter Seventy-Three: What's the Use of Self-Blame?
"When we went in, two of them had been bitten to death, and the other three were scorched by the fire, and we saved four ......"
The militia captain reported the situation to Qin Jian 1510.
Qin Jian nodded, hugging the dull-eyed Gu Xue in his arms.
When the militia captain came back, he told Gu Xue the news, and Gu Xue collapsed on the spot, but what was frightening was that she neither cried nor was angry, she just stood in a daze and didn't say a word......
Qin Jian understood Gu Xue's mood very well, but it was useless to persuade her now, after all, she couldn't bring the dead to life, and besides, this matter was originally sudden, giving everyone a blow to the head.
But at least...... They have done their best to reduce more casualties, otherwise, those hundreds of zombies could completely destroy the entire farm.
"I have the addresses of several of their homes, and tomorrow I will inform their families one by one." The militia captain said with a sad face.
Xu Xin dragged the militia captain over and said secretly:
"How do you just tell the news? If they don't give them some compensation, will their families be able to stop? ”
Hearing Xu Xin's words, the militia captain looked embarrassed and looked at Gu Xue.
The five people who died were all farmers, and the farmers signed different contracts with their militiamen, the farmers were in the form of long-term employment, and the treatment and benefits were complete, including death compensation, while their militia was hired for a short period of time, but the money came quickly, and there were no other benefits.
The death compensation is about 200,000 contribution points, and five lives are 1 million contribution points, and now that the hostess has just passed the bottleneck period of the farm, how can she have so much money to compensate?
"How much?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
"A million ......" the militia captain was stunned and replied.
Xu Xin gasped and rolled her eyes after hearing this.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go out again." Xu Xin said.
"Are you?"
The militia captain looked at Xu Xin's helpless expression and was a little surprised.
There's no way, Gu Xue can't afford to lose this million now, she has to be glad that she can have such a good girlfriend......
"What are we going to do now?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"My plan is this, we'll all stay on the farm tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning, depending on the situation, before leaving the farm." Qin Jian immediately said to everyone.
Everyone was worried after hearing this, not only could they not leave here tonight, but they would have to see the situation the next morning before leaving, how bad was the situation outside the farm?
"Man, are there any zombies on the farm now? Have you killed them all? Someone asked again.
Although everyone is very united, they are essentially desperate for their lives, not to mention that there have already been casualties, so it is not incomprehensible to ask so bluntly.
"Killed...... However, don't take it lightly, those zombies have come in from outside the wall, and they may continue to attack us in this way. ”
Qin Jian's words made everyone scared, after all, these words were both a warning of kindness and an unknown danger.
"Now let's go back to the house first, don't stop outside or at the gate, don't go to the high wall, go out to the toilet in the middle of the night, and go in a group, in short, we have to go until the day."
Qin Jian led everyone to save people and kill all the zombies, and everyone had long regarded him as a leader-like existence in their minds, so he naturally became the commander of the team, and everyone obeyed his orders, and at this moment they hurriedly ran back to the house.
Qin Jian and Xu Xin sent Gu Xue back to the office, Gu Xue was still like a wooden man, and without saying a word, she sat directly on the sofa.
"Xiaoxue...... Can you say a word? Don't scare me? ”
Xu Xin patted Gu Xue's shoulder and said very scared.
This accident led to casualties on the farm, and as a farmer, she must bear all kinds of responsibilities, and the farm has not been rebuilt before such a thing happens, and there are waves of unrest, unless she has no feelings, otherwise her personal mentality will completely collapse......
"Don't touch her!" Qin Jian pulled Xu Xin's arm away and said with some annoyance, can such a rude action be a way to persuade people?
"Wife, are you looking at me?"
Qin Jian squatted in front of Gu Xue and said softly.
Gu Xue's eyes were still dim, but at this moment, she listened to Qin Jian's words and looked up into his eyes.
"I'll look into it, trust me......"
In just one sentence, Gu Xue's expression changed violently, and she cried out!
"I'm sorry! I'm so useless! Gu Xue cried out.
"Light snow! You are not to blame for this! ”
Inexplicably, Xu Xin saw Gu Xue crying like this, and hugged her tightly with tears, and the two seemed to have experienced life and death tribulations, hugging their heads and crying.
"Wife...... You ......"
"Get out!" Xu Xin suddenly pointed to the door and said.
Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Why? ”
"Can't you let Xiaoxue be quiet?"
"Then why don't you go out?"
"Because I'm her best friend!"
"I'm still her husband!"
Qin Jian originally wanted to argue, but when she saw Gu Xue crying, she immediately retreated.
Maybe at this moment, Xu Xin is more useful than him.
Only women can understand women, and Xu Xin and her are best friends from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship is just like that between him and An Xiaowen, they have nothing to talk about, and they are inseparable......
Qin Jian walked out and found that under the eaves opposite, the militia captain was smoking a cigarette with a melancholy face.
At this moment, when he saw Qin Jian, he immediately stretched out his hand to say hello, took a puff of cigarette, and threw it under his feet to extinguish it.
"Male host......" The militia captain walked over.
"Why don't you come in? It's dangerous out there. Qin Jian immediately said that even if he killed all the zombies he could see at that time, he was still worried that there would be fish hiding in a corner.
"Hostess, Miss Xu Xin plans to help the hostess pay the compensation in advance." The militia captain did not answer him, but brought up what Xu Xin had told him.
This matter can be revealed to the male host, but not to the hostess, after all, it can be seen from the hostess's appearance just now that she must be in a very bad mood, and before she recovers her mentality, of course, she can't mention the matter of compensation.
Qin Jian is still very concerned about the compensation fee, after all, when people die, their relatives will be very sad, so this is not only a matter of losing money, but also human nature.
The death of five people is equivalent to the destruction of five families, and the pain of losing loved ones is probably unimaginable, but after all, natural and man-made disasters, anything is unpredictable.
"I see, is there anything else?" Qin Jian nodded, saw that he lit another cigarette, and asked tentatively.
The militia captain sighed: "Male host, this time it's my problem, blame me for improper patrols and let the zombies take advantage of the loopholes." ”
Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, why was he blaming himself?
"I also made a mistake when I was saving people, there was a person who still had one breath left, but he fell into the fire at that time, and I ......"
"Say no more!" Qin Jian suddenly looked serious: "What's the use of doing these afterthoughts now?" ”
"The man...... I ......"
As soon as he heard this, the militia captain was instantly speechless and bowed his head heavily.
"What's the use of blaming yourself? Can self-blame change the status quo in front of us? ”
"Can self-blame protect everyone?"
"Can self-blame bring people back from the dead?"
Qin Jian's three consecutive questions made the militia captain's heart stop suddenly.
"I'm sorry man, I understand, the past has passed, there is that kung fu to blame yourself, it is better to kill two zombies and patrol twice!" After a long time, the militia captain said loudly, his mouth full of spittle.
"Yes!" Qin Jian nodded heavily and patted the militia captain's shoulder: "Cheer up!" We still have a lot to do! ”
Seeing Qin Jian pointing his thumb over there, the militia captain looked excited, and immediately asked, "Male master, what's the matter?" I can help! ”
"Accompany me to guard that wall and stay up all night, can you do it?"
"Yes!"
Originally, Qin Jian planned to guard the wall alone, but when he saw the militia captain, he was excited. full of affection, he also temporarily changed his mind and brought him as a companion.
The wails of the zombies could still be heard on the side of the high wall, Qin Jian had heard it before, so he had long been used to it, but the militia captain was terrified when he heard it.
After guarding for about half an hour, Qin Jian thought that Gu Xue was still crying, so he hesitated for a while, and asked the militia captain to guard first, planning to go back and have a look.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xu Xin hugging Gu Xue, and immediately made a silent gesture at him.
Gu Xue was already asleep, but there were still two lines of tears on her face, which was a little poignant......
