Chapter IX: Cooperation
"Lao Zhang, I've followed you for ten years." The square-faced officer stood with his hands on his shoulders and looked down at the middle-aged man who was being bound.
The man's face was covered in dried blood and scars that had been opened and closed, and he looked like he had experienced abuse.
"Well, it's been ten years, ten years." The middle-aged man coughed violently, "It's a pity, you've been following me for ten years, and you're still going astray." ”
"Misguided?! I'm going your way! The square-faced officer became angry for a moment, and slapped him over: "I've been with you for ten years!" The border has chased the murderer, and the southern Xinjiang has fought against terrorism, and they can be regarded as brothers who live and die together, but what about you? Do you see me as a human being when you step on a horse?! Do you think of your brothers as human beings?! ”
"You are all my brothers, and I remember both you and I were born and died." The middle-aged man looked tired.
"You remember a fart! Don't give me a fake here, if you really remember, there won't be today, and so many brothers won't die! ”
"You and I have different ideas and goals, and we don't conspire with each other if we have different ways." After another hard ear scrape, the middle-aged man was silent.
"Don't talk to me about bullshit here! I only know that you let us live and die for the sake of some civilians, how many civilians have you saved? How many? ”
"Tell me when you step on a horse!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't reply, Zhou Xiong became even more angry, and directly put the pistol on his forehead, "If you don't say it, I'll collapse you!" ”
"Hehe, I said, the ending is not the same? How many have you saved, don't you also know it? The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, as if he didn't take Zhou Xiong seriously.
"Okay, if you don't say it, I'll tell you!" Zhou Xiong's face turned the color of pig liver, and his hand holding the gun was trembling because he was too excited, "We saved a total of 192 people, and those wastes are hiding and crying in the warehouse, why don't you see them come to intercede for you?" ”
"But what about us? How many dead and wounded did we have? Do you have a single count yourself? We have lost more than 3,100 brothers in battle! That horse is human life! ”
As if he couldn't help but be angry, Zhou Xiong slapped him again: "You treat civilians as people, don't you treat us as people?" Let's go up and fight the xenos and die? I'm going to you! Lao Tzu killed you today, leading other soldiers to live a stable life! ”
"You, you don't deserve to be a soldier! You're a coward! After hearing the last sentence, the middle-aged man was finally annoyed, took a bite of Zhou Xiong, and looked at him through gritted teeth.
"Coward? Yes, I'm a coward! Hahaha, if I were a coward, I wouldn't have been born and died for more than ten years! I've done enough for the Motherland, enough for it! ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to listen to any of your fallacies, you give it to me..."
"Jumping ——!"
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Zhou Xiong had already shot angrily, and the blood spread along with the brain, splashing on his face, making him feel the expansion of power.
Under the watchful eyes of more than 3,000 people in the whole army, he completed the usurpation, and it was a usurpation with the support of the whole army!
After a long and bitter battle, the original army of more than 6,000 people is now only a small half, and these survivors are a group of people who have experienced a desperate struggle with xenomorphs, they are tired and afraid.
Those aliens, those zombies, and those different mutants, are destroying their hearts all the time, they live in cowardice all the time, and the blood that still exists in their hearts is also consumed by pain and death.
It's still endurable to fight with people, but it's okay to fight to the death with those disgusting monsters, no one can stand it!
Driven by the atmosphere of the cluster, fear and discouragement gradually spread throughout the army, and the seeds of usurpation gradually sprouted, and then erupted today.
The former leaders were shot, they were freed and safe, they did not have to be instructed by their superiors, they only had to hold on to the towering walls, and they could live without fear of food.
Although the remaining rationality in their hearts made them feel a little guilty, in the face of their lives, this group of people finally chose to compromise.
In the future, Zhou Xiong will be their supreme leader, if it were not for him, there would be no lives of these more than 3,000 people!
Just when the army was immersed in the joy of the success of the usurpation, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded outside the door, and the four soldiers who were originally standing guard were also directly split by the bombing.
"Search for me, I can't let go of any spies! If we let the people above know about today's events, we will be wiped out! Zhou Xiong shouted and gave the order to die.
Armed with their weapons, they launched a carpet search, while Zhou Xiong strode back to the warehouse office, trying to use the camera to observe the movement of the grass outside.
Su Lan witnessed the whole process of Zhou Xiong's execution in the dark, and his heart was mixed.
And Huang Shang, who had been looking for a flaw, heard the explosion, grinned, and climbed up from a crack in the wall and cut into the warehouse courtyard from behind.
"Ran to the warehouse office? See that I don't pull you out. ”
Huang Shang also witnessed the whole process of the execution, and was even more convinced that as long as Zhou Xiong was captured, the rebel army would be leaderless and left to be slaughtered by him.
"Just give me ten seconds, and you'll experience the ups and downs of life."
Thinking silently in his heart, Huang Shang ran wildly towards the warehouse, and suddenly heard dozens of soldiers running around the corner, and he pulled the trigger in his hand without hesitation.
...
Zhou Xiong stretched his tense nerves, leaned back on the office chair, and took a sip of tea, "This time, no one can stop me." ”
Even if the incident just now has passed, and the person is dead, but what Lao Zhang said and the resentful eyes before he died still made him feel palpitations: "You can go with peace of mind, today next year, I will burn paper for you." ”
He stood up, looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bound corpse whose skull had already exploded, and slowly closed his eyes.
Zhou Xiong knew that what he did might violate human ethics and the party constitution, but in the face of disasters and catastrophes, he had to do so for the sake of his remaining 3,000 soldiers.
That's how he comforted himself.
"No need, today next year, I'll burn it for the two of you together." A cold male voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Uh......!"
Zhou Xiong only felt his heart beat violently, his body stiffened, and the cold touch of the muzzle had spread to the back of his head, and subconsciously, he slowly raised his hands.
"If you cooperate, maybe I can let you go, but if you dare to turn back, I'll shoot directly." Taking advantage of this effort, Huang Shang directly blindfolded him.
"You, who are you? Who sent you? Could it be ....." Zhou Xiong was shocked, and his heart was impossible, now that the whole country is fighting against alien species and disasters, how can the people above lock themselves so quickly?
"Don't force yourself to play, I don't mean anything else, I just need enough food, so as long as you cooperate enough, I won't kill you."
Of course, if I'm in a good mood.
"Okay, understood, I'll cooperate with you." After years of being in danger, Zhou Xiong made what he thought was the wisest thing to do.
