Chapter 227: Take the initiative
Wang Min's body was torn to pieces, and that picture seemed to be like a nightmare, rooted in everyone's hearts. The apocalyptic world, even more tragic scenes, can also be seen everywhere. But when people's psychological defense was about to collapse, his death was like a balloon that had swelled to the extreme, and a needle was pierced.
Human beings' desire to survive will eventually find a way to find life. Wang Min should have thought the same way at the beginning, instead of aimlessly waiting for death at the Yushan base, it is better to summon up the courage and try his luck. Then what he didn't understand was that although the Yushan base was in danger now, it had not yet reached the point of death.
Li Zijing rarely looked absent-minded, lit a cigarette, but only took one puff. Zhang Zhao called him a few words, and he reacted and looked at him blankly.
Li Zijing is the leader of this group of survivors, and everyone is counting on him to have any new ideas, and he rarely disappoints when things happen in the past. And this time, judging from the state he has shown, he really has no idea. Once the leader of a team is out of line and has no plan for the next path, it is a fatal blow to the whole team.
Everyone looked at Li Zijing and watched him silent for more than ten minutes, and Zhang Zhaoyue felt that if such a stalemate continued, it might increase the speed of the situation and have serious consequences. Li Zijing has supported each other with him since the outbreak of the zombie virus, and he and Guo Rong are definitely Li Zijing's most loyal supporters.
Zhang Zhao coughed lightly, and Li Zijing came to his senses when he saw his expression, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "That monster has been staring at the Yushan base and has not left, I think everyone knows this." The materials we brought before are not much in stock now, and there is no new news from the East China Sea Islands, so I want to hear everyone's opinions now, what should we do next? ”
"Brother Li means that everyone can express their opinions, after all, such a major matter is not something that one person can decide." Zhang Zhao deliberately added, so that others would not see the clues.
It is not easy for the people in the house to come this far together. The experience of being born and dying together has strengthened the trust between everyone. It's just that everyone has lost a clear goal now, and someone needs to have a reasonable reason to convince everyone.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one has expressed their opinions. Li Zijing's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is so modest, then I will express my own opinion." Now there are two paths in front of us, one is to hold on, and the result is that when our resources are exhausted, there will be no room for maneuver. The second is that we take the initiative to attack, which is the most dangerous road, in addition to dealing with zombies, we also have to guard against the escaped brain-eating zombies, including mutant monsters that have never been on the road. Either way, there are risks. It's just a little respite. ”
"Brothers and sisters, I think that since the outbreak of the zombie virus, every day has not been safe. To be able to get to this point, sometimes I feel that I have survived in a daze, and I Guo Rong will not talk about any big truths, but the two paths that Brother Li just said, if it were me, I would choose the second one. After Guo Rong finished speaking, he solemnly expressed his views unprecedentedly.
Even Zhang Zhao asked, "Why?" ”
Guo Rong glanced at him, with a look of disgust, and said: "This doesn't need to be asked, let's come all the way to the east, which is more thrilling than learning scriptures from the west, and now that we have reached this point, there is no reason to nest up and wait for death." ”
"Are you saying that if you take the initiative, you can have new hope?" Zhang Zhao asked again.
"Of course, why do human beings make progress, isn't it that they are not afraid of difficulties, dangers, and have the courage to explore? What kind of brain-eating zombie, it's not a falling flower that has been beaten by us, as for the mutant wolf and mutant dog, if we really ran into it, we directly broke through it. Guo Rong made a gesture of raising a gun, and continued: "Anyway, I won't wait for death like this, or that sentence, rather than die in silence, it is better to explode in silence." ”
Lu Yang savored what Guo Rong said, the words in it seemed familiar, hearing Guo Rong say this, he was not the slightest afraid, but a little excited.
Guo Rong said so many reasonable things for the first time, Zhang Zhao almost couldn't help but get up and applaud him. His choice is naturally the same as Guo Rong's, not because of their relationship, but because what Guo Rong said is indeed reasonable. When the world starts to go crazy, no one can predict what the world will look like tomorrow. If you want to talk about difficulties, which time is not the end of the road and escape from death. Now at least everyone is still alive, and they can eat and sleep every day. The camp in the East China Sea Islands may not be the best choice for these survivors.
In any case, Zhang Zhao eventually had to go west, like the Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures from the west, overcoming all difficulties and going through countless hardships. It's just that this road is not so smooth, and those dangers are also obvious that people can't break through smoothly. Forced by the situation, I can live one more day, and I am praying for new hope.
The world is so big, I want to go and see, just like people like Guo Rong and Xu Haihai, let them nest in the base, if it is not forced by the situation, they will not want to do this. Even in the midst of a dangerous apocalypse, a person's personality will determine whether he will take a different path.
A few people who have been suffocated for a long time have discussed how to do it in private, and they hit it off very tacitly. The search team had an unprecedented number of people actively joining, and after the meeting was dismissed, many people had already gone to Li Zijing to recommend themselves. Of course, Li Zijing couldn't agree to everyone's request so casually. Just like Ollie, as soon as he heard that a search team was going to be formed to take the initiative, he hurriedly ran to Li Zijing and talked about a bunch of his own advantages, what he had experienced in a hundred battles, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, which almost made people believe it.
However, considering her previous performance at the Xiangcheng base, Li Zijing still asked Shirley on the side to pull her away. If you really let this girl join the search team, maybe there will be some kind of mess again.
The screening of the search team members is to integrate many aspects, and it is not that you can pass the test if you are very outstanding in one aspect. As early as when he made this decision, Li Zijing already had a suitable list in his heart.
There are not many personnel in the Yushan base now, and there are even fewer who can be dispatched, and the two major crises in front of us, the leader of the brain-eating zombies and the mutant wolf, are still nowhere to be found, if too many personnel are arranged to go out, the defense of the base will be much lax.
Under the trade-off, Li Zijing only selected some people as members of the search team, led by Langchen. The members include Guo Rong, Xu Haihai, Song Muyuan, Wang Wu, and Song Huagang. As for Zhang Zhao, he didn't have a part to do this this time, considering that Li Yan is now pregnant and needs someone to take care of her, and because of the previous attack by brain-eating zombies, many people's emotions have not stabilized, so they did not agree to his request.
Now the form is different, although the people in the Yushan base may not be 100% of the same mind, but at least everyone understands the truth that only by coming together can they go further. Zhang Zhao went to follow, it was nothing more than one more person, if he didn't go, there would naturally be someone else to replace him.
It's just that Zhang Zhao is worried that with Langchen's character being responsible for leading the team, there will be no problems. It's not that I'm afraid that he won't command properly, this guy has a better ability to survive than anyone else, and a person can kill all the way from the north to the south, and the devil knows what he's been through. Moreover, he has a level of alertness that ordinary people can't have, and if he encounters danger, he will be the first to find out. Zhang Zhao is worried about teamwork, and this guy is often a loner or silent. For example, when he encounters a group of corpses, he may not remind him loudly, maybe he will pat the person around him and run away, if that person does not react to the situation for a while, he will definitely be on the spot.
Zhang Zhao once encountered this situation, on the top of a small two-story building, Langchen jumped over by himself without saying a word, but there were dozens of zombies underneath, and he didn't remind him. When Zhang Zhao came up, he almost didn't scare his legs.
"Pot, you have to follow Langchen, don't he come back by himself, we have to send someone out to find you." Zhang Zhao half-jokingly patted Guo Rong's shoulder.
Guo Rong had a spitting expression and said, "Can you talk about something good?" Originally, I was still full of fighting spirit, but when you said this, I was a little stunned. But you did remind me, from today onwards, as long as I walk out of the base gate, I will not be more than three meters away from him. The two looked at each other and laughed a few times.
Going out to search has become a daily task again, and everyone returns to their homes with their hearts on their minds to prepare the equipment they need tomorrow. Fortunately, the weather is gradually improving, which is undoubtedly good news for the search team.
I have had countless experiences, and I have slowly accumulated some experience, especially in such a remote place, where there is still a potential crisis, and we have made the ammunition and defense measures to the extreme.
The temperature is still very low, and everyone is wearing heavy cotton clothes, which is not conducive to movement. Donna knew that in the early years, the Global Security Alliance had developed some special materials for making combat uniforms for combatants, but when she was in Wumingshan, she didn't find any inventory. The costume, which is only worn when doing tasks in unconventional environments, is lightweight, resistant to the cold, and even uses the latest intelligent systems.
She didn't mention this to anyone else, if Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong knew, they would have to pester her to get a few pieces. During this time, she tried to get in touch with the base every day, but at the time of the crash, some of the equipment was also burned with the explosion. The small equipment on her body, I don't know when it started, lost its effect.
In this way, she slowly felt that she was completely abandoned in this chaotic world. Sometimes I even think that it is not a good thing to stay here with these people.
