Section 9: Departure

Gong Jianfei's diary:
We walked all the way down the sewer to a river. This is an artificial rain drainage river, and it hasn't rained for a few days, so there is no water in the river, and even our shoes can't be submerged. One by one, we climbed out of the sewer and out of the maintenance ladder on the other side.
When we walked out, everyone sat in the surrounding bushes, waiting for Gong Jianfei and them to come out of the sewer.
"Xie Ming!!"
"Brother Xie!" Li Xia and Xiaoguang ran over first, but before they could run to us, the dwarf stopped them: "Don't come here!" Xie Ming was bitten! ”
Yes, looking at his feet that don't have much flesh anymore, needless to say, they must have been gnawed clean by zombies.
"Where's Zhang Kong?" Zhang Xiaoxi walked over cautiously, he looked up at me and asked me pitifully about Zhang Kong's whereabouts. I turned my head away, I didn't dare to look at Zhang Xiaoxi at all, it was I who finally left Zhang Kong alone in that village, how could I open my mouth and peel off the last little flame of hope in her heart...
"Zhang Kong promised me that he would come back."
Just like this, Zhang Xiaoxi didn't say anything after hearing this, and then returned to Li Na and sat down. Although Li Na didn't come forward to ask me just now, she also pricked up her ears to listen when Zhang Xiaoxi asked me. Now I can't see the sassy energy of a strong woman when I first met Li Na. Yes, she is actually just a 17-year-old girl of the same age as Zhang Xiaoxi, and she was treated as an adult or even a leader by us because she was too mature. But in the end, children are children, Zhang Kong is their sky, and now losing Zhang Kong is equivalent to the sky falling for them.
What about us?
I counted the number of people, and the losses in this battle were really too heavy, and more than half of our casualties were killed! There are only five members of our armed police team, including me and the dwarf, only eight of those police academy students left, and the women we rescued from the bandits are the most seriously injured and wounded, and now there are only three poor people left... As for the small team that Zhang Kong saved from the armored car, everyone except for the commander Zhang Changchun was dead.
We have lost too much, Liu Nan and Zhang Kong are now missing, Xie Ming has also fallen into a coma, if necessary, I will personally finish him off.
This operation was a typical failure, and after thinking about the reasons for the failure, I found that it was actually due to the lack of Zhang Kong's command. Although Zhang Kong is only in his early twenties, he is calmer than any of us in any situation. Maybe that Liu Nan can be compared to him, but Liu Nan lacks a sense of the overall situation because he is a lone ranger. Confident, calm, long-term and far-sighted, kind, all kinds of factors have shaped Zhang Kong into an almost perfect command leader!
Now that I think about it, we have been safe and perfect to avoid the catastrophe, isn't it all because of Zhang Kong's decision? Whether it's escaping from the city, encountering gangsters on the road, or leaving the safe zone.
Just one time without a blank slate, our entire team suffered such a big loss.
I can't keep thinking about this, people always have to look forward, I can't always be bound by this self-blame and inferiority complex! Thinking about it, I pulled out the binoculars in my pocket and looked in the direction of the village. We didn't have to go far, less than 200 meters away from us, there was a large group of zombies wandering around the village, but now they didn't find us.
I've sorted out where we're now. Because of the rules, each of us carried enough food and water to support us for three days, and even in that case, many of us carried that package with us. After checking the bullets, everyone's magazines were basically empty, and the three remaining M60 drums were completely empty. In accordance with the combat deployment, each of us carried a scatter of ammunition capable of filling the magazine twice on the body, all in the pockets of tactical body armor. In addition, everyone carried pistols and pistols to silence the enemy, so that we were in a position to quietly destroy the enemy.
As soon as I pulled out the map in my pocket, I glanced at Li Na, who was dressing the wounded with a blank face, and knew that she couldn't come up with any ideas like she used to.
This is not the place to stay, and it's time for us to go.
