Chapter Forty-Eight: Heroes?
The dam was scolding endlessly, and people completely broke out the painful depression after the attack of the water monster tide, and listening to the tsunami-like shouts and scolding of the surrounding mountains, Zhang Mo couldn't help but be stunned at first.
In a moment, his eyes narrowed, revealing Sen Ran's killing intent and coldly swept over the countless people on the dam who were glaring angrily, Sen Ran was terrifying!
After feeling his terrible gaze, countless people stopped so stiffly, and the words that were about to be exported were forced back, and the original scolding of the mountain and tsunami stopped abruptly, except for the rushing river, there was no sound, and it was surprisingly quiet!
After a short silence, many people reacted again, and the scolding resumed.
"Monster! Don't think we're afraid of you! ”
"That's right, now you're angry? Where were you when we fought bloody!? ”
"Monster, we don't need you!"
Zhang Mo's face was gloomy and terrible, and only after half a loud sound did he sneer, and there was a bit of ridicule in his laughter, not to mock these people, but to mock himself, the word "human" was finally completely erased from his mind, and from then on he was just Zhang Mo!
But what he is, he doesn't know, maybe it's a monster, maybe it's a demon, but Zhang Mo doesn't care, he only cares if he can live well and protect the only people in his heart, and that's enough.
Zhang Mo fell down in this chaotic scolding, and countless people couldn't help but retreat when he moved, and countless muzzle barrels were silently aimed at him, as if he changed slightly, he would open fire.
Syllable!
Zhang Mo landed on the defensive line of a messy dam, his wings were withdrawn behind his back, and he walked forward indifferently in the face of countless guns, although the people around him were full of anger, no one dared to stop him, and he gave way to a large open space.
No one dares to talk about it anymore!
The power of oneself shocked these tens of thousands of people.
"Bastard! Whoever made them do this, let them put down their guns! In the combat command room, Wang Zhengdong looked at the tense scene below and couldn't help but roar, "The water monster hasn't been dealt with yet, and you have angered a guy whose strength is not inferior to the water monster!?" ”
On the side, Zhou De was also covered with cold sweat, he and Wang Zhengdong were both shrewd people, in the battle of the sturgeon's inexplicable retreat and the sudden outbreak of countless water monsters downstream, they were keenly aware that Zhang Mo had definitely done something in it, otherwise the water monsters would not kill each other sooner or later, but Zhang Mo would kill each other again when he came?
The connection between the two of them after thinking about it and knowing it. But more people can't think of this, the two of them are full of cold sweat, if they let these people who don't know the truth be so forced to force each other like this, maybe they will really force Zhang Mo away, and even lead to more serious problems!
"Immediately give the order to go down and tell them to put down their guns!" Wang Zhengdong hurriedly said, and then he turned his head to look at Zhou De: "Old Zhou, you go down in person, I'll go by myself!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Zhengdong strode out of the combat command room and left in a hurry with a team of guards.
"Everyone, lay down your arms!" Orders kept being passed down, and many artillerymen who were operating the barrels stopped indignantly.
Zhang Mo also stopped, because Wang Zhengdong was striding forward thousands of kilometers ahead.
"Listen to me! It's a misunderstanding! Wang Zhengdong explained vigorously.
In the puzzled, suspicious, surprised, and angry expressions of countless people, Wang Zhengdong walked dozens of meters in front of Zhang Mo, and the surrounding soldiers stared at Zhang Mo, lest he suddenly attack Wang Zhengdong.
Wang Zhengdong glanced at Zhang Mo deeply, he looked around, looked at the countless eyes staring at him around him and explained: "Everyone, we have paid a heavy price, but this is indeed a misunderstanding!" And I have great news for you! Monster! The infected water monsters and evolved water monsters downstream have fought, and they can't take care of our dam for the time being! ”
"What!?"
"Two groups of water monsters are fighting?"
"Great, if they lose both, they won't be a threat to our dam!"
"! These brutes had better all die! ”
Countless people couldn't help but talk about it when they heard this, and they forgot about Zhang Mo's matter in the blink of an eye, after all, survival is the most concerned issue for people, water monsters kill each other, this is something that people are very excited about, as for whether Zhang Mo is a monster or not, they don't do anything about them.
Wang Zhengdong explained a few words like this and successfully changed the topic, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he didn't say the reason for the killing of the downstream infected water monster and the evolved water monster, let alone mention that all this might have been done by Zhang Mo, he actually understood very well on this point, although he didn't know how Zhang Mo did it, but he understood that the water monster was definitely killed by Zhang Mo.
But he couldn't say it!
Because
Because Zhang Mo is a monster!
Although Wang Zhengdong has never said this or mentioned it, he has always thought so in his heart, and he understands this very well if he is not of my race, and he knows that he must not push a monster to the position of a hero and savior! Human beings need their own heroes, and they need human beings to be the support of their own souls, and the best candidate is Guo Lingyun, he is the best hero!
Wang Zhengdong knows very well in his heart that only in this way can human beings truly unite, and an outlier is unreliable no matter how powerful it is. So he would rather Zhang Mo be dissatisfied in his heart than tell people about any of his contributions, he is selfish and fair in this regard, he is for the sake of mankind.
In the midst of countless discussions, Wang Zhengdong sighed, waved his hand to stop the soldier next to him from walking towards Zhang Mo alone.
And Zhang Mo was standing alone, surrounded by countless people, but he was out of place.
Finally, Wang Zhengdong walked in front of Zhang Mo, Zhang Mo just looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.
Wang Zhengdong sighed halfway through: "Actually, the downstream thing, I know, was done by you." ”
Zhang Mo's expression did not fluctuate, although he didn't know that Wang Zhengdong already knew the answer, but he understood that even if Wang Zhengdong knew, it would be useless, and Wang Zhengdong's starting point for doing anything was to take human beings as the overall situation.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell them the truth." Wang Zhengdong said in a low voice, his gaze swept over countless people, full of apologies: "Human beings are a very strong but fragile race, I hope you can understand!" ”
"I'll leave after killing the monster." Half-ringing, Zhang Mo only said this, and then he turned to leave.
At night, the dim moonlight rises in the west, the breeze blows, and the cry of strange birds can be heard from time to time in the distant sky.
There were excited cheers from time to time in the city of Yichang base, the dam was protected, and the water monsters killed each other, which was an unprecedented blessing, and countless people celebrated and cheered.
At the top of a building, a figure sat on the corner of the building, legs dangling.
Zhang Mo sat silently, and the people in the base city were noisy, but he was indifferent.
Guo Lingyun, who was seriously injured in the missile bombardment, was already dying when people found him, but he survived, and countless people wept with joy, praising him as a national hero, a human hero, a guardian saint, and so on.
But the topic of Zhang Mo is only a scolding and a faint disdain in private.
And Zhang Mo knows all about these, but there is no fluctuation in his heart, and he came to Sanxia Dam not for the lives of millions of people and a false name, but for the debt to a simple man.
Did he memorize less of the infamy? He's used to it.
He's just doing what he's supposed to do, and he's not going to change anything or anyone.
Zhang Mo sat at the top of the building for an unknown amount of time, and he yawned when the moon was setting in the east, and he was a little tired. He leaned against the raised pillar and fell asleep
In a ward of the General Hospital of the Military Region of Yichang Base City, a patient covered in bandages was lying on the bed, like a mummy, with only half of his cheek exposed.
The night was late, but the patient's eyes were not tired, they were still clear, and there was a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old in front of his bed, she lay down in front of the bed and fell asleep deeply, but her small eyebrows were wrinkled, and she couldn't dissolve the sadness, she let out a low dream: "Brother"
This patient is none other than Guo Lingyun.
Syllable~!
With a soft sound, Guo Lingyun reluctantly turned his head, the door of the ward was opened, and a middle-aged soldier with a kind face quietly walked in.
Guo Lingyun was startled and couldn't help but move, but the middle-aged soldier hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, take care of your injuries!" ”
Guo Lingyun nodded with difficulty: "Yes, Chief of General Staff." The middle-aged soldier in front of him was Zhou De, chief of the general staff of Yichang Base City.
"I'm here to see your injuries, why haven't you rested so late?" Zhou De asked kindly.
"It's nothing, it's just a little sleepy, thank you for your concern."
"Take care of your illness, the organization needs people like you!" Zhou Dedao.
"It's the chief."
"Comrade Guo Lingyun, you have made great contributions to mankind in this battle, so the organization has decided to award you the title of People's Hero!" Zhou De's expression froze, and he said very seriously.
Guo Lingyun's face was hot at first, and then he calmed down, his excited expression subsided, and he was silent but did not speak.
Zhou De asked in a low voice, "Lingyun, do you have something to say?" ”
Guo Lingyun hesitated for a moment, and he said weakly: "Chief, I heard that the sturgeon monster retreated because of the battle between the infected water monster and the evolved water monster?" ”
Zhou De's eyes flashed and he nodded in acknowledgement.
"What do you think, Chief of General Staff," Guo Lingyun said in a low voice, "Do you think this has anything to do with Zhang Mo?" ”
"Huh?"
Guo Lingyun had already spoken, so he had no worries, he said: "Many people on the hospital bed came to see me and told me a lot of things, they all said that I was a human hero, but for Zhang Mo, but I kept thinking, I don't believe that Zhang Mo really stayed out of the matter and didn't do anything?" ”
