Chapter 7: Wang Dong
Zhang Lang looked at Hao Lingling, and didn't understand why the little girl would ask such a question, so he said casually, "It should be a soldier, right?" β
In his mind, the people who can own the most guns must be the soldiers in the military of every country.
This is a kind of habitual thinking, and he doesn't think that there are any people in the world who have more weapons than soldiers.
"Uncle, unfortunately, your answer is wrong."
Hao Lingling blinked his big eyes and smiled smartly, "The correct answer is a civilian!" β
"Uh......" Zhang Lang was stunned, "how is it possible?" β
"That's what my sister told me herself." Hao Lingling put away her smile and looked solemn, "My sister said that in fact, sixty percent of the guns in the world are in the hands of ordinary civilians, and one out of ten people. Thirty-seven percent of the guns belonged to the army, the rest to the police. The terrorist groups that have been so much reported by the media do not even have 0.12 percent of the guns in their hands. β
Zhang Lang felt that the little girl's words were a little ridiculous at first, but he didn't know why, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
First of all, he is not an authority figure and does not understand these things at all.
Secondly, if what the little girl said is true, then the sister who wants to come to her may be a very powerful soldier as she said.
Because it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to understand such a thing.
Through this, Zhang Lang remembered the content of the chat group on his mobile phone, and then he knew why the little girl said such a thing.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lang sighed.
He felt that he was really an ignorant person, so ignorant that he couldn't even compare to a little girl.
The messages in the chat group were clearly telling him that even in a country with extremely strict weapons control, civilians have so many weapons hidden in their hands, but what about other countries?
Zhang Lang felt that he was too naΓ―ve before, it turned out that he lived in such a dangerous world.
With a sigh in his heart, he found that in this world where he could reach for guns, perhaps more reliable than gentleness could only be those things called bullets.
But......
Zhang Lang turned his head, looked at the little girl beside him who was smiling at him, stretched out his hands, and took her into his arms.
"As long as you are by my side, even if the world is in danger, I will not fall if I want to come!"
β¦β¦
Gently holding his sleeping six-year-old daughter, Wang Dong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, looking at the crowds of walking corpses on the street outside the window, his eyes showing despair and dazedness.
He is a retired soldier who originally had a wonderful family, a kind wife, and a well-behaved daughter.
As a man, in order to make his wife and children live a good life in the future, he works hard every day, and his life is so full and happy.
However, one day four months ago, all this beauty was shattered by the sudden outbreak of a world crisis.
On the day his wife becomes a zombie, it is not for his daughter, he may choose to be one of those walking dead like his wife.
It is precisely because he also has a beloved daughter that he killed his wife who turned into a zombie with his own hands!
At that time, the pain in his heart almost made Wang Dong collapse.
However, for the sake of his daughter, he had to grit his teeth and let himself continue to live in pain.
Two days ago, there was no food or fresh water left at home.
This is because he risked being attacked by zombies and searched all the food and water that could be eaten near his home, and he lasted for more than four months.
As a former soldier, he is not allowed to steal other people's things.
He really did his best!
If water and food could not be found, then his daughter ......
Suddenly, an electronic beep came from his phone.
Wang Dong's expression was still blank and desperate, and he picked up his mobile phone and found that it was a prompt sound from the QQ of the mobile phone.
A guy with the screen name 'Cockroach', add him as a friend?
Wang Dong showed a hint of surprise on his face, and added through the other party's friends, and before he could ask who the other party was, the other party took the lead in sending a message.
"I saw today the message you sent three days ago asking for help, are you a veteran?"
"Yes." Wang Dong thought to himself, could it be that he met a kind person?
'Cockroach' continued to ask, "I saw your message in the chat group, you said that you and your daughter have no food and water now, and there are no exchange items, so the question is, what do you want to exchange for food and water?" β
This is a very real problem.
What is the world today?
How can there be kind-hearted people, and there is no pie-in-the-sky good thing!
Wang Dong lowered his head, glanced at his sallow-faced and obviously malnourished daughter in his arms, gritted his teeth, and typed a sentence with his mobile phone.
"With my life!"
Seeing Wang Dong's words, the other party was silent.
When he was a little desperate to think that the other party had given up on continuing to talk to him, the cockroach replied to the message.
"How much food and water are your lives worth?"
Wang Dong was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem.
In the past, no one could say clearly how much human life was worth.
But in today's apocalyptic world, human life is the least valuable thing!
Wang Dong looked at the daughter in his arms.
"As long as you can keep my six-year-old daughter from starving to death for a while, my life is yours."
The cockroach was silent again, and after a long time, he asked, "What kind of army did you have before you retired?" β
Wang Dong knew what the other party meant by asking.
On the premise that ordinary soldiers do not have weapons, their combat effectiveness is no different from that of ordinary civilians.
The reason why the other party asked this was, to put it bluntly, to ask him if he had the ability to fight.
After hesitating, Wang Dong replied: "The unit I was in at the beginning had a secrecy regulation, so I can't say it. I can only tell you that in the face of five or six ordinary people alone without any weapons on both sides, I can subdue them at any time! β
"So powerful?" The cockroach was clearly unconvinced.
"Do you know about the military?" Wang Dong smiled.
"I don't know very much, but I've read a lot of military magazines, and I've read a lot of rumors about soldiers on the Internet." The cockroach asked curiously, "Are you a special soldier?" β
Commando?
"I'm not a special forces." The corners of Wang Dong's mouth twitched unconsciously, if you look closely, you can see this twitch, like mockery.
"Before I retired, I was just a ...... Monitor! β
ββ¦β¦β
Cockroaches play ellipses that represent speechlessness.
"You are very demanding, I don't even know when I will die, how can I guarantee that your daughter will not die?"
The cockroach said, "If you want to sell me your life, then I can only give you as much as I can if there is enough food and water." β
