Surrender is surrender, but Wang Chen didn't have time to tie these people into zongzi, after all, this is the hardest hit area of the epidemic for more than a month, just a few minutes, a large number of zombies appeared around the road, because of the inconvenience of legs and feet, Ma Tian began to shoot zombies too close with a sniper rifle, which shows that the zombies are less than 200 meters away from Iveco.

It is true that the effective range of the 88 sniper is far more than 200 meters, but on the one hand, the 5.8 mm machine gun bullet has not been unloaded in the car, so the sniper rifle in Ma Tian's hand uses ordinary rifle bullets, and the accuracy has decreased. On the one hand, Ma Tian has no sniper training, and his long-range shooting skills are sparse, so instead of wasting ammunition, it is better to put the zombies close to fight.

Relying on Zhang Kaifeng's cooperation, everyone entered the campus safely before the arrival of the zombie group, but the tense atmosphere did not relax at all, originally through the fence can already see that the branch campus of Nantong University is not small and quite new, and when Wang Chen entered the campus, he found that the good guy is too wide inside, and it is no problem to open a large-scale cultural and sports activity in the front square.

If there is no zombie epidemic, anyone would want their living area to be as wide as possible, and now, this means that the security of the entire campus has plummeted, and once the fence collapses or there is a slope that is easy for zombies to climb, then the entire campus will be abandoned by the survivors, unless the civilians who occupy it have enough weapons and ammunition to clean up the zombies in order to repair the gap in the wall.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Chen had another suspicious point, he ignored the smell of rotting corpses mixed with the sea breeze and choked his nose, looked at Zhang Kaifeng, who was leaning against the wall, sitting with other civilians, and accepting the custody of the South American trio, and then looked at the other companions who parked the vehicle and climbed to the roof of the car to shoot the zombies without stopping, and made sure that there was no danger within a hundred meters of the open space around, so he took a few steps forward, stood three or four meters away from Zhang Kaifeng, inserted the NP22 back into the holster, put on a relatively kind attitude, and said directly: "What do you say, Let's talk about it here, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang. ”

Zhang Kaifeng originally hung his head, but when he heard Wang Chen calling him, he raised his head and suggested, "It's still ...... Let's talk about it when we enter the laboratory building. ”

"No, I don't trust you, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang. So, I'd rather stay away from those buildings, okay, I don't want to explain, I just want to ask you, why? ”

Taking off his gas mask, Zhang Kaifeng pursed his lips, looked at the civilians around him, and finally let out a sigh of relief, stood up and said directly: "I need your blood." ”

"It's all come to this point, I don't have to lie to you, let's be honest, my blood is really useless against people infected with the virus, and even more useless if it's not infected." Wang Chen was a little impatient.

"Not for the inhabited."

"Not for the infected, but for the zombies? Don't tease...... You're not really for the zombies, are you?! To say that Wang Chen was not surprised when he heard this, it was false, and his brain was not slow, and then he reacted, "You borrowed the hands of the civilians in the camp to push us over, and generously gave us so much military funds to use us as a transport team, in the final analysis, it is to become a dead person who has become a zombie, right!" ”

"That's right, these civilians you see, all of their loved ones have been infected and turned into zombies, I, no, I should say that we are not willing to watch them die......"

"But they're dead!" Wang Chen heard that a nameless fire suddenly ignited from the bottom of his heart here, and he couldn't help but roar loudly: "They are dead!" It's a dead man! Don't you know the dead? Dead people without heartbeats, brainwaves! ”

"Who said that! They'll move! You can still call! I'm going to eat it again! My child is not dead! He's just sick! It was not Zhang Kaifeng who said this, but a woman behind him stood up, heard Wang Chen say that her child was a dead person, and even ignored the assault rifles held by the three South Americans, and retorted hoarsely.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the civilians next to her helped out, and the gossip suddenly made Wang Chen's head bigger, Joanna saw that the order was a little chaotic, for fear that the civilians would make trouble and resist, so she immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and fired a few shots above the civilian's head.

This muzzle communication method is common all over the world, and the scene is quiet again.

"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Wang Chen took a few deep breaths to regain his composure, simply took out a cigarette and threw it to Zhang Kaifeng, and lit one himself, he knew that if Zhang Kaifeng didn't finish the whole thing, I was afraid that these civilians would still make noise.

It is undeniable that smoking is not good for the body, but it is also one of the few ways to relax in the tattered apocalypse, so when the smoke wafted out of Zhang Kaifeng's mouth, the lieutenant colonel, who had worked hard to maintain the barracks and at the same time tried to save his loved ones, finally calmed down and began to tell his story.

As Zhang Kaifeng said before, this place was created by him with a few like-minded civilians when the SH epidemic area was established, and these civilians voluntarily stayed in the epidemic area just to take care of them. It is true that none of these people even has a bachelor's degree in biomedicine, and the care and treatment they are talking about is just to find some live food for their relatives who have been detained as zombies, and inject all the antibiotics they can find, and when the antibiotics run out, they will inject all the medicines they can find.

In the final analysis, these civilians are reluctant to admit that their loved ones are corpses that have died, the brain and heart have stopped functioning, and only rely on the virus to stimulate the tissues in the body to carry out primitive physiological activities.

Until Wang Chen's appearance.

In fact, Zhang Kaifeng did not doubt what Wang Chen said before, and those reasons for Wang Chen's explanation were also believed by Zhang Kaifeng himself, but his selfishness was also very clear, find a way to get Wang Chen here and inject Wang Chen's blood into the blood vessels of his relatives, maybe the other party's blood will not work on the living, but it will have an effect on the relatives who are completely zombied?

This is the reason why Wang Chen and his companions finally stood here.

It is just a speculation from Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Kaifeng that has no scientific basis, or a speculation based on misinformation.

Simple, isn't it?

Pretty fucked up, isn't it?

After listening to Zhang Kaifeng's narration, Wang Chen looked at these civilians with yellow faces and thin muscles, dark circles under their eyes, obvious lack of nutritional intake, and generally over thirty years old, especially when they stared at themselves, full of hope, the weakest part of his heart was touched, and he remembered his father who had died in Harbin.

Wang Yefei.

How long has it been since I remembered my father's voice and smile?

Once upon a time, in order to get himself out of danger, the father who led away the zombies alone, when he looked back at himself for the last time, he should have looked like this.

"Xiaohua, come over here." Wang Chen made a decision that he hadn't even thought about, and beckoned Yang Xiaohua and said, "Go get a needle." ”

Yang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment and confirmed: "You want a needle?" ”

"Yes, I'll draw blood for Lieutenant Colonel Zhang."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaohua almost didn't bite her tongue, and said in her heart that your painting style has changed quickly, is this going to kill the other party, to kill the other party, or to kill the other party?

When Wang Chen saw Yang Xiaohua's expression, he knew that the other party was thinking of something wrong, and couldn't help but throw a health ball out, is he such a cruel person?

"He's going to inject his zombie relatives, so it's okay to try." Wang Chen in front of everyone, of course, he would not elaborate on his thoughts, he knew very well that his tube of blood injected into the corpses would not have any effect at all, he did this, just to make these poor civilians die, maybe they could give up their dangerous life in the SH epidemic area, and follow Lieutenant Colonel Zhang back to the PLA camp.

Although looking at the looks of these civilians, there is almost no possibility for them to give up.

However, as much as they do, they obey the destiny of heaven, and that's all Wang Chen can do for them.

Zhang Kaifeng was indeed overjoyed to see Wang Chenken draw blood, and after obtaining the consent of the other party, he ordered two people and went back to the teaching building to bring his son. ’

The atmosphere was even more relaxed, but Wang Chen still did not return the weapon to the other party, which could not be blamed for his caution, before the test results confirmed that his blood was an ineffective medicine, this group of civilians who were willing to guard the epidemic area for the sake of their family's beloved might do something.

To put it bluntly, after determining that Wang Chen's blood is invalid, no one knows what these people will do, after all, no one can guarantee whether their spirit is normal or not.

Including themselves.

After waiting for a few minutes, he couldn't stand here, or Zhang Kaifeng found a conversation, "Actually, I want to know, how did you see through my plan and get ready?" ”

"You put so many weapons and equipment in the car, it just makes me suspicious, even if there are not many soldiers in the camp, but there are a lot of civilians, now weapons and ammunition are consumables, how much can be hoarded, but you generously gave away, it is not ruled out that you really sent these things for the safety of our road, but when I found that there were incendiary obstacles on several roads, I was already sure that I would be ambushed."

"I know that the epidemic area has been closed for nearly a month, and no matter how big the fire is, it has been extinguished, at this time SH is the rainy season in early autumn, and there is a fire at a key intersection, which is indeed easy to be recognized, no way, the time is in a hurry, we are short of manpower, and we want to ensure safety and set up roadblocks, we can only use the method of arson, which is seen through by you."

Wang Chen waved his hand, meaning that he had nothing to be proud of, and then said: "Actually, I also have doubts, since you want to capture us, why did you give us the opportunity to create chaos?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Military smoke grenades, stupid, stupid, you don't think there is such a thing in the supplies of the security services, do you?"

"I provided you with the smoke grenades?" Zhang Kaifeng was suddenly blindsided, when did he arrange smoke bombs for the security agents? Is there something wrong with this?

Wang Chen saw Zhang Kaifeng's dumbfounded appearance, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and smiled apologetically: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my nervousness, maybe the soldier who carried the supplies took an extra box of smoke bombs." ”

Living in a state of mental tension for a long time, anyone will have this kind of inexplicable behavior, Wang Chen is not surprised, just when Zhang Kaifeng's son was brought closer, he focused his attention on the cage in front of him.

That's right, it's a cage, a cage with a zombie boy.

Obviously, Zhang Kaifeng, an eleven-year-old son, has been completely zombieized, surrounded by so many living creatures, what it does is very simple, stretching out his hands from between the cracks in the railing and waving very vainly, his ten fingers are like hooks constantly scratching, and his mouth is letting out a meaningless roar.

Anyone who sees Zhang Kaifeng's expression at this time and his gaze at his son will have a little palpitations, and Wang Chen is no exception, he turned his head and stretched out his arm, signaling that Joanna could start.

After a slight stinging in the crook of her arm, not much blood flowed out, obviously, Joanna's technique was quite skilled, but her daily habit was to inject someone with some kind of 'potion', and it was indeed the first time to draw blood.

Soon, a needle of blood was injected into the large blood vessels near the heart of the young zombie in full view, yes, this is Zhang Kaifeng's suggestion, anyway, the heart of the zombie has stopped beating, he hopes that Wang Chen's blood can clear the zombie virus, or it can stimulate the young man's heart and make it beat again.

Unfortunately, that's just a wish.

Although the zombie pathogen sounds like a science fiction story, it is indeed a pathogen that can be created by human technology, although the symbiosis between Wang Chen and the virus is rare, and there are such symbiotic precedents in nature, as long as you are willing to spend manpower, material resources and time, it is not impossible to replicate, but you want to transform a corpse that has been infected by the zombie virus through a tube of blood full of active zombie virus, so that it can return to normal physiological functions?

It's not just an extravagant hope, it's a wild fantasy with no roots.

In fact, Zhang Kaifeng looked at his son, how he hoped that his son could call him dad again, but unfortunately, after injecting blood, the zombie boy still had no change, he was still driven by instinct, still longing for flesh and blood, and still did not show any characteristics of intelligent creatures.

Zhang Kaifeng's eyes changed from hope to longing, and in the end, only deep, gray, and despair remained.

"I don't want to attack you, but I still suggest that you go back to the barracks with Lieutenant Colonel Zhang." Wang Chen saw these civilians sighing, and the anger that was originally ambushed also disappeared, but Ma Tian limped over, pulled Wang Chen aside, and questioned: "Just let them go?" Do you know what would have happened if we had just been captured? ”

"I know, but what can you do with them? They break through the principles of life for their relatives and reach a new lower limit, can you? Wang Chen shook his head helplessly.

Ma Tian was a little unhappy, he was still the same, all hung on his face, although he had a sunny and cheerful personality, after all, he was the son of an official eunuch, you respect me a foot, I will definitely not step on you into the mud, and vice versa, if you want him to let these people go easily, he is not reconciled.

Joanna looked at the argument between the two in her eyes, she couldn't understand Chinese, dragged Sheng Qingru to help translate, listening to Wang Chen's answer to Ma Tian's question, Joanna's heart was touched, in a small group, a leader with a cold heart can certainly ensure the continuation of the group, but lost too much human touch, Wang Chen's choice, can not be said to be very suitable for leading everyone, but unexpectedly reassured Joanna, she thought a little, let Sheng Qingru help translate: "Since there is no blood on both sides, even if one side has malicious intentions, I think, This matter can also be resolved peacefully, and I suggest that, in accordance with the old practice in the West, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang can exchange the supplies in his hand for his freedom from others. ”

It should be said that Joanna's suggestion is quite in line with everyone's minds, now in this dilapidated apocalypse, you are weak and you are reasonable, you are poor, you should have been thrown into the waste heap early!

Big fish eat little fish! If you can't keep important things, it's useless for you! It is the iron law of the last days!

After listening to Joanna's suggestion, Zhang Kaifeng, who thought that he could use the weakness of human nature to pass the test, couldn't help but smile bitterly, no one is a fool these days, if he doesn't take some dry goods out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the test, and I'm in a hurry, what can these security agents really give themselves a bullet? Will there be anyone who will avenge themselves?

In the end, Wang Chen and the others got a gift that they had never thought of anyway.

A completely new armored car.

"This car, is the latest improved model of the 92 series, when the SH epidemic area was formed, the above specially transferred over, the communication command and reconnaissance type modified by the transport vehicle, I used its communication equipment to remotely control the things in the barracks, and arranged for those civilian helpers to encourage civilians to force you to enter the SH epidemic area," mentioning the past of the SH epidemic area, Zhang Kaifeng's tone was a little painful, in order to satisfy the gang as soon as possible and leave, he still spared no effort to introduce: "No inflatable six wheels, large gravity, The armor protection engine is the latest lightweight design in all aspects, so the heavy firepower is only the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun on the roof, while the protection is enhanced, the total weight is at least more than a ton lighter than the old model, the maximum speed is more than 100 per hour, the most advanced satellite communication and command and reconnaissance equipment is installed, and the attached trailer has heavy machine gun ammunition, auxiliary fuel tanks, diesel generator sets, folding solar panels, diesel can be used to power satellite equipment when diesel is tight, and the maximum travel is more than 1,000 kilometers when the auxiliary fuel tank is full. If it is fully loaded, 700 kilometers will definitely be no problem, to talk about the shortcomings, the auxiliary fuel tank can not be directly connected to the main fuel tank, and it is necessary to stop for manual pumping. ”

Yang Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she looked at this car, not to mention that Fang Qiang's saliva was about to flow down, as for Pablo, he simply stood behind the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun in the car, laughing!

With this treasure, the zombie horde is nothing! As long as it is not the brains that run out of fuel, hundreds of zombies will surround it, and it will be just a piece of minced meat!

So, Zhang Kaifeng was finally able to watch Wang Chen and his party leave the QD campus, naturally Fang Qiang drove the armored car, but it was Wang Chen who drove the Iveco, it doesn't matter if the technique is new, there are armored cars on the left and right to open the road, let Wang Chen practice his hands, as for the destination of these people, Zhang Kaifeng didn't ask, and Wang Chen won't say.

The plan to save his son failed again, Zhang Kaifeng was not completely discouraged, no matter what, as long as he was still with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and there was the support of barracks materials behind him, Zhang Kaifeng believed that he would always save his son one day!

After re-settling his son and assuring the civilians that he would find a way to transport another batch of weapons, equipment and supplies as soon as possible, Zhang Kaifeng drove an SUV back to the PLA camp.

During this period, he naturally encountered a few scattered zombies, but there was no greater danger, until he entered the range of small arms in the PLA camp and saw a military vehicle parked at the entrance, and a rather familiar soldier leaning in front of the car, a sense of foreboding arose.

Major Luan.

Before the car approached, Zhang Kaifeng braked the SUV, sat in the driver's seat, stared at Major Luan, and remained motionless.

Major Luan put on a leisurely posture instead, and took out two cans of beer and showed them to Zhang Kaifeng.

After a long time, Zhang Kaifeng, who had adjusted his mood, smiled, opened the door and got out of the car, strode to Major Luan, and didn't talk nonsense to the other party, picked up a can of beer, opened it, drank half a can, took a sip of wine, and said directly: "You stuffed the smoke bomb into the car?" ”

"Yes."

"To seize power? Let's lose both? ”

"Yes and no."

"Now that I'm back, what are you or your plans? Send me court-martialed? ”

"No, exile, we'll only let you die."

"CAO, it's just exile, thank you so much."

In the face of Zhang Kaifeng's cynicism, Major Luan tried his best to ease the atmosphere, poured a sip of wine, shook his head and said: "You are unwilling or unwilling, it doesn't mean much to us, what you have done yourself, you know it in your heart, not to mention going to a military court, it is not too much to shoot directly." ”

"What did I do? I'm saving people! What did I do? I stabilized the situation in the barracks! ”

"Saving people? We're all saving people! But not to save zombies! Do you stabilize the situation in the barracks? It was we who stabilized the situation in the barracks! We! You're not the only lieutenant colonel! So we won't watch you expend the supplies and personnel of the barracks on things that don't make sense! Feeling that his tone was a little excited, Major Luan took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued: "Kaifeng, you know, my daughter also died in the epidemic, my daughter-in-law couldn't stand the stimulation and committed suicide, Xiao Liu personally gave his mother a shot!" You have to accept it! Qiangzi can't be saved! ”

"Accept the facts? Accept the facts, will you accept me again? ”

"Unfortunately, no. I say this in the hope that you can let go of your burdens, and with your ability, even if you are in the epidemic area, you will live well. Let me tell you the truth, what you did before, you can't hide it from everyone, sooner or later the civilians in the camp will know that you use public weapons for private use, and then your fate will be worse than now, when you plan to ambush the security special service, someone has already proposed to use UAV air-to-ground missiles, 155 extended-range howitzers or long-range rocket artillery to directly bombard the QD campus, and simply solve the hidden danger! I stopped it! Ask them not to act rashly and give you a last chance! After all, if you can not die, it is better not to die! ”

"Hmph, you're a liar?" Zhang Kaifeng smiled contemptuously, "Are you looking forward to seeing the situation of losing both sides in the drone video, it is best if I die in the hands of the special service, if the special service dies in my hands, the reason for bombing the campus is more sufficient?" After all, it's just a bunch of cowards! ”

"Kaifeng! You are kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs! If I really wanted to do that, it would be easier to just put a bomb on the Iveco and push it on you! You know that the little girl in charge of secret service communications used the camp network to directly open a satellite channel and connected it to the intranet of the security department! That's real proof of identity! Yes, now the central control is basically equal to zero in each military camp! But we don't know where they come from, how important they are, so let's not ignore how much the security services value their subordinates! Be careful to settle accounts after the fall! ”

“CAO！” Zhang Kaifeng was powerless to argue, so he could only point Major Luan with his finger, throw away the empty wine can, turn around and get into the car and leave.

Both of them wanted to settle the matter calmly, but in the end, they were still tense, watching Zhang Kaifeng drive away, and Major Luan didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

Perhaps, at the beginning of this chaotic and broken end times, no one knows where mankind should go.
