Chapter 13: Conversation, Thoughts
The USS Washington, with a displacement of up to 92,000 tons, was sailing on the Pacific Ocean, walking on the deck of the aircraft carrier. And the sailors of the Navy are tired, on the one hand, because of the ocean voyage, and on the other hand, because of the current crisis. After all, before this, no one would have thought that there would be a great panic of corpses, and at this time, humans have almost been isolated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were scared.
Look at it, ships of all sizes surround the aircraft carrier like a moon and a moon, like a moving sea fortress, and even warplanes fly by in the air from time to time, which is the best proof of this. In the face of the apocalypse caused by the zombie crisis, they have lost their sense of security. Only these fleets of steel waves can give people a sense of security at this moment.
Are aircraft carriers really safe? Du Jing asked himself. He felt that the vast and unknown ocean was more frightening than the known land, not out of deep-sea phobia, but.... Can the ocean really remain calm like this?
There is no answer to this question, at least it is quiet now, and he is safe.
Of course, he won't be on deck for long, there are people waiting for him, and things are waiting for him to do.
There are no idlers here, everyone is doing their best, and you are no exception. These were the first words of the General Gould after he and Lyon got on the aircraft carrier. It sounds a little realistic, but it's good. Because, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
General Gould seems to be an ordinary small-town high school principal, who speaks very bluntly and ruthlessly. Under his leadership, the command system of the aircraft carrier is still running, in the face of the sudden outbreak of the zombie crisis, they fully demonstrated their professionalism, accurately and effectively issued various instructions for the comrades who were still resisting on land, although there was sadness on their faces that could not be concealed, but Du Jing saw that in the depths of their eyes, there was a strong and yearning for hope. They didn't give up, they were still trying, even though they knew it might be useless. This is good, only those who aspire to hope are qualified to aspire to the light!
"Seriously, I didn't expect that a zombie crisis would break out on Earth, so that the end of the world would come. What is even more terrifying is that before the outbreak of the crisis, there was an outbreak of the epidemic, but they desperately tried to hide it, delete all messages, and use things such as regional strife, demonstrations, and arms races to divert public attention. In fact, the effect of this is very helpful, and the zombie crisis broke out, and without any prevention from us, it directly affected the whole world. This is our government, our people, and they are really inferior..."This is the news that Lyon got after reading the so-called classified documents, which made him shudder, it turned out that the news he had heard about the regional strife and the arms race was just a pretense to cover up all this. It turned out to be good, and the game came out of the fire ....
"Not everybody is like that, they're trying to solve the problem." Du Jing Nunu mouth. There are also some people who have a nonsensical attitude towards the zombie crisis, hoping to solve the zombie crisis in another way.
"Lip service won't solve anything." Leon glanced disapprovingly.
"I think he has a point, the outbreak of the zombie crisis is indeed like the Spanish flu in the early 20th century, which is completely viral. If we can develop a vaccine, maybe we can eliminate them like colds! Du Jing listened very well, although he did not attend the meeting, but he also heard their conversation, not to mention the theory of accuracy, this bold assumption alone is worthy of affirmation.
"Hey, my friend, do you think he's in control?"
"No, he doesn't have that ability, after all, his words can't be proven."
"Then you know there must be something wrong with his remarks?"
"It's just a little skeptical."
"But the word 'zombie' has been mentioned in the email from South Korea, and it's not a cold crowd, it's a monster that can bite people." Leon's tone suddenly became more excited, and it was not for no reason. The U.S. troops stationed in South Korea had already sent the email back to the base camp, but those guys didn't believe it, failed to react, and even forcibly changed an 'urgent' email to a 'memo'! Those guys really damn it, they're just wasting taxpayers' salaries, they're really a bunch of scum!
"That's why we have to put ourselves in the shoes of others, if it's a flu?" "The Spanish flu outbreak took 5% of the world's population at the time. And the zombie crisis broke out, but 5% of the world's population was saved from disaster, you have to know hundred, what does this mean? ”
"A glimmer of life!"
"Yes, there is a glimmer of life, and it must be seized."
"Even if we know that this is a life of nine deaths, do we have to pass?"
"Or do you really want to swim in the ocean, with those sharks? In the belly of a whale? ”
"That's a stupid idea." Leon scolded resentfully, now it is really a person who has to bow his head under the eaves. "Then again, shouldn't we be on our way? Before I crossed the Pacific, I didn't think I was here just to listen to them! ”
"Unfortunately, you don't have a choice, and I don't have a choice, that's the reality." Du Jing was talking here, but his eyes glanced to the side a few times, and then he smiled, Nunu mouthed, "Did you see that black charcoal head?" He is the one we are waiting for. ”
Not to mention, it's really a black charcoal head. Looking at this person's belly, he must have eaten a lot of good food. The person next to him had a little impression, and he seemed to be a fellow practitioner, but he was better than him, and he heard that he got married and had children. Leon commented silently in his heart, but Du Jing smiled and spoke, "Do you know that person?" ”
"You know?" Leon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "I forgot about your Sherlock Holmes-like insight. In peacetime, you would probably lose a lot of jobs. It's a pity...."It's a pity that Leon didn't say the latter words, but Du Jing smiled undeniably, he didn't rely on this to eat, it didn't have much impact after all. "That black charcoal head, he is the deputy secretary general of the UN, what do you think he thinks is coming to your friend now?"
"Certainly not to resurrect UN!" Leon smiled coldly.
"It's not a cold joke at all." Du Jing shrugged.
"The world has changed, and a politician, a former UN deputy secretary-general, must have good results if he wants to live better in the new era." Leon doesn't mind looking at a person with the worst of his mind, he said, "Even if you don't do a good job, that's okay, at least he's got an extra layer of color." At best, what if he succeeds? Wouldn't it be a big deal? It was a gamble, a gamble to put it to death. If you win the bet, your life will be smooth sailing. If you lose the bet, you will live in peace with the status quo. The end of the world is coming, everyone is struggling, and it is better to live on an aircraft carrier than to run for your life on the outside....."
