The losses were very heavy.

The fuel carrier was detonated by a missile, causing serious damage. With the exception of a military truck parked at the back of the building, which was not affected by the blast, almost all of the team's vehicles were affected. About half of the weapons and ammunition were burned, and most of the food and water were unusable. Medicine, clothing, various necessities...... Despite their efforts to extinguish the fire, they did not have enough firefighting equipment and had to run back and forth in the fire to salvage as much material as possible.

He Chao stood in front of the flames that rose into the sky, and felt that his whole body was trembling.

At the feet lay a smoking corpse.

That's a woman He Chao likes. Very young, just a scar on the right cheek. That woman is a "toy" in Jixin's farm. She is very beautiful and has a strong temperament. When she was first ravaged and insulted by Li Hu's people, she thought about committing suicide, but she didn't succeed, and then she smashed the glass and made a deep cut on her face. She felt that this practice would discourage many men, but she never dreamed that it would stimulate men's violent desires. It wasn't until Liu Tianming's team occupied Jixin Farm that her situation improved.

Although the waiter is also a type of "toy", it is much better than a "toy" in the simple sense. At least, she has some initiative when it comes to choosing a partner.

She was burned to death.

When He Chao took her out of the fire, the lower half of the woman's entire body was wrapped in flames. He Chao poured a lot of sand on her before the flames were extinguished. The woman kept screaming, and the pain didn't last long. The temperature on her body was frighteningly high, and when she touched the palm of her hand, she immediately felt violently hot. Smoke was constantly coming from the corpse, and the charred legs looked horrible. He Chao felt that the woman's internal organs might have been cooked, because the expression on her face was so painful that it was so distorted that she couldn't see her original appearance at all.

He Chao saw Liu Tianming's tall and burly figure, saw Xie Kun running over with soot on his face, and Lei Ping and Yan Haobo, who were in a fever, also supported each other and slowly walked in front of him.

All team followers were divided into three squadrons, and they were the three captains appointed by Liu Tianming and were directly responsible to the team leader.

Liu Tianming's face did not have any emotional changes, and his voice was flat as if nothing had happened: "How many people are still alive?" ”

"Forty-one, there were six women, and the rest were men. Twenty-six of them were slightly injured, but they were out of the way. ”

Yan Haobo wiped a handful of sweat from his face, this salty liquid secreted from his body was soaking through the wound on his face that had been burned by the flames, producing a pinprick pain.

"There were seven seriously wounded."

Xie Kun grabbed a large handful of burnt hair hard, glanced at Lei Ping who was standing next to him, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "The rest are dead." ”

Without waiting for Lei Ping to open his mouth to speak, Xie Kun added at a very fast pace: "The rest of the people were all killed by me." ”

Liu Tianming was slightly stunned, and then understood the meaning of Xie Kun's words.

"They're not dead yet!"

Lei Ping's face was full of anger, and the flames burning in the distance reflected his face, and also illuminated the white salt dust that remained on both sides of his head after the sweat had dried up: "You killed them, and those people can survive." Why are you doing this? ”

Xie Kun raised his left hand and supported the nose pads of his sweat-soaked eyes, and his voice and tone did not change: "I'm not killing people indiscriminately. Their legs and feet were burned, and many had extensive burns on the surface of their bodies. I've seen this kind of injury before, and even with professional medical equipment, it is difficult to heal the ulceration caused by a burn. They are no longer mobile, we have no medicines, no equipment, not even a small number of anesthetics to relieve pain. ”

After a pause, Xie Kun continued: "I have sent someone to count it, and the food and supplies are seriously damaged, and the rest can only last for a week. Seriously wounded people consume much more supplies than healthy people. All the fuel was burned and the car was gone. Do you want us to carry them all the way on our backs? Let them die now, and there will be a lot less pain, and there will be no more torture. ”

Liu Tianming watched this scene silently.

He patted Xie Kun on the shoulder: "Do what you think." Don't forget, you are the captain of your followers, and you have the authority to do what is right for you. ”

Xie Kun nodded vigorously, sniffled, glanced at Lei Ping with a complicated expression, saluted Liu Tianming, and turned to leave.

There was a burning sound of "hulala" in his ears, and looking at the ashes flying in the sky, Liu Tianming's voice also became cold.

"This is no longer the world we are familiar with, and you are no longer a policeman."

"Forget about the law and the so-called morality! Those things are meaningless and will only become a stumbling block for you, and will even pull you close into the water and drown you alive at a critical moment. ”

"When Captain Qi was leaving, he asked me to take care of the two of you. You have a good relationship with the Yellow River, and I don't want to say anything too serious. In short, you should know what to do and what not to do. Especially Lei Ping, I know you are well-intentioned and want those who are injured to survive. But don't forget, by doing so, they will die even worse. ”

Lei Ping's violent wheezing gradually subsided. He controlled his emotions, stared at his slightly reddened eyes, and nodded heavily.

He didn't understand these truths. It's just that some things have become habits, and it's really hard to change them for a while.

Lei Ping has always had an invisible pressure in his heart.

He felt that the death of the director was directly related to himself.

At that time, if he hadn't listened to the lies of Yin Jianhua and Meng Yongquan, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to follow them away.

He's a policeman after all.

It used to be.

"We are all adapting to the world, from dazed to sober, there is always a lot to do, and we have to make the most realistic choices."

Liu Tianming's voice was full of weight, as well as unprecedented resoluteness: "This is the first time and the last time. If you find it hard to accept, you can leave now. But if you stay, you must follow my orders. Otherwise, even if you don't become food for the murderous corpse, I will kill you. ”

……

The whole team started the transfer as quickly as possible.

The fire will make this an incredibly striking location. It is unknown how many survivors there are in the city, but one thing is certain: the fire will not be extinguished, and many of the survivors hiding nearby will run over to see what is going on. It will not be easy for people who have survived from the outbreak of the virus to the present. There are also the corpses, which are very sensitive to temperature and sound. It won't be long before a new round of killing begins, between humans and mutated creatures.

Teams are being built up quickly, and people are being downsized quickly. The original team of hundreds of people is now less than half of the original one.

Liu Tianming quickly dispersed with the core team members. Two hours later, the remaining team personnel and supplies had been moved to the west of the city.

He wasn't worried about the battle he was about to face.

As long as the core members of the team are still around, it is easy to gather more followers.

Liu Tianming found himself becoming familiar with the operation of this new world, or the chaotic world.

Money is the key to everything.

In any world, money is the foundation of society that cannot be bypassed. The difference is that things like "money" change as the laws of the world are reconstructed. It used to be gold and banknotes, but now it's something else.

For example: weapons and ammunition, or food.

It's an open area, on the outskirts of the city, and in the distance there are a lot of brand-new buildings that should have just been built. There were no cars in sight on the empty streets, and even the street trees were weakened by the lack of water, so there was no sign of spring.

Heavy military trucks were parked on the side of the road, and the tarps had been lifted off, revealing heavy machine guns mounted on the roof. The carriage was full of miscellaneous items. Food and ammunition were kept on the ground floor as usual, and all kinds of useful items were temporarily collected from the fire. Although they are messy and a little dirty, they can still be used as long as they are cleaned up.

Dozens of unkempt armed followers stood next to the truck. Their clothes were stained with dust and blood, many with torn knees and burnt marks on their shoulders and cuffs of their clothes. His hair was unkempt, and his face was covered in dust and soot. A few guys standing on the side of the road were coughing, and the people next to them handed them plastic bottles full of water, and they took them in a panic, threw them into their mouths with their necks up, and then vomited a lot of liquid with black soot from their bodies.

The sudden explosion destroyed almost everything and shattered the confidence that had just been built up by the team's followers.

There is no hope in people's eyes, and everyone has become dull. Those who were addicted to cigarettes had been smoking, and several of them were crouching on the ground, talking in weak whispers. Although they were not brewing plans to break off the team or rebel, it could be seen that they had great concerns about whether they should continue with Liu Tianming.

Or should the problem be more serious and raise suspicions.

Yang Yanhong stood with several other women. They gathered at the other end of the truck, protected by three gun-wielding followers, forming a crowded and narrow circle. This is a special arrangement made by Liu Tianming, and the three guards are selected from among the followers, who are the most loyal and the most obedient. Together with Xie Kun, Lei Ping, and Yan Haobo, they formed the group core of the team's followers.

The team didn't stop here to rest.

The current situation is not too good, Liu Tianming gathered all the core members of the team together and discussed the next step in a low voice.
