Chapter 15 The Docks
Yin has been sinking for more than ten hours at this time finally began to rain, the dense sound of raindrops covered everything, the restless Yellow River seemed to be quiet in the face of this heavy rain, quietly waiting for the rain to enrich itself, waiting to restore the majestic style of Xiangri.!
The distance of 20 kilometers was originally more than ten minutes to reach, but now because this road has been a long time without vehicles walking, the asphalt pavement is filled with a layer of mud rolled down on the barren mountain, the whole road is slippery and muddy after encountering rain, and more than one meter away from the Zhiyuan is a cliff more than ten meters high, Wang Musen did not dare to be careless, and gathered Jing to turn the last detour, after this bend is a section of the downhill road, and then there is a horse Pingchuan.
The exhaust pipe of the diesel engine emitted billowing black smoke, and the Zhiyuan held back enough horsepower to run over a piece of mud and stone, and the muddy water thrown by the rear wheels fell straight down the cliff, and a zombie with a broken leg under the cliff slowly stretched out an arm and waved towards the Zhiyuan, Mu Ne's eyes did not have the slightest sparkle of sanity, and let the muddy water fall on the eyeballs and fall on the mouth.
"My little heart! Finally over! Wang Musen let out a long breath, hurriedly lit a cigarette with a trembling hand, took a hard breath, and calmed down after spitting out the smoke.
"It's almost there after this downhill, but unfortunately the rain is too heavy to be seen in the distance." Wang Musen took a few puffs of a cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt and then tightened the steering wheel, and stepped on the brakes little by little to drive downhill
"This dog cāo weather, why catch up with the rain when we are on duty! I'm still thinking about catching some fish! A soldier in an army camouflage uniform fiddled with the fishing rod in his hand with an unwilling look, and his dark skin could not hide the childishness on his face.
"What fish? Even if you catch it, you dare to eat it? Another GI carried an automatic rifle and a telescope in his hand, and looked into the rain in the distance without looking back.
There were four other warriors beside them doing their own things, some reading books, some wiping their guns, and they had no intention of participating in the conversation between the two.
"The next wave of zombies is coming soon, I haven't seen a single figure in two months, our dock is the last shift, look, it's less than twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, we should leave, do you still expect a miracle to happen?" The GI lowered his fishing rod and raised his arm to look at the multi-function watch on his wrist.
"I don't believe it! There are so many survivors in the north, and none of them let us catch up? The four classes have saved more than 10 people in two batches! Look at their looks! The more the soldier spoke, the more energetic he became, and he stepped out of the cabin and stood in the rain and watched intently.
"Oops! I said Lai Liang, class leader, why are you still so energetic? Come in quickly, won't you? When you get wet, you won't have a little daughter to warm you up! You see how stable the four of them are, and they are not in a hurry at all! The man put the fishing rod into the aluminum rod box and said a little sideways.
"Xiao Zhou, pay attention to the tone!" Lai Liang looked back at him in the rain.
However, the four GIs sitting in the cabin were not moved by Xiao Zhou's words at all, and continued to do what they were doing as if they hadn't heard it.
“cāo~~! What can I do? It doesn't matter to them whether they save people or not, they just want to deal with this last shift and then go back to eat and drink! Whoever makes the family have a back door, and when you go back, you can transfer to a civilian job and you don't have to come out to play with your life! Lao Tzu doesn't want them to say anything good behind their backs, it's not that era anymore! We don't need to mess with anyone! Afraid of what? Xiao Zhou sarcastically mocked these four people with sharp words without any taboos.
One of the four people finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to stand up and theorize, but was pulled by a person next to him, and sat down angrily and looked unconvinced.
"Not convinced? Say you're not convinced? Do you have the ability to use guns to kill those zombies on the shore? Kill Lao Tzu and obey you! Do you dare? Xiao Zhou yelled, he knew that this was his last chance to fight these back door soldiers, and he probably wouldn't even have a chance to meet in the future.
"That's it! Stop it. Lai Liang walked into the cabin and took off his raincoat, but this time he didn't reprimand Xiao Zhou too much, it seems that he is a little angry.
The wharf that can be used by the entire Yellow River is guarded by these warriors 24 hours a day, in order to wait for a survivor to appear on their own, and today until 12 noon is the last shift, because there will be a super-large zombie cháo approaching next, in order to cooperate with the unified operation, everyone has to go back to the base to report.
Like Lai Liang's class, four of the six people are related to the aircraft carrier battle group at sea, and they are only sent here for 'training', saying that there is actually no danger at all in the training, but they just wait on the ship every day, and now the army soldiers at sea are bound to be promoted as long as they stay on land for two months and go back, no matter what you do on land, even if you are a cook in charge of logistics. The entire land became a training ground for the army at this time, whether it was something like this, or some culture could be better improved, they were sent to this kind of place to experience the environment, but the real place where there was combat would not let these people go. In the words above, their value does not need to be reflected in life and death.
There are also a lot of soldiers like Lai Liang and Xiao Zhou who have never left the land since the outbreak in the entire army, one is that there are no people, and the other is that these people have no culture when they are soldiers, most of them have graduated from junior high school, and there is no way to arrange them at home to want to be a soldier to get a way out, the two of them have experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and it can be said that they are experienced, so they assigned four inexperienced soldiers to them, and it is normal for the two to complain in their hearts.
As long as there is a society and a system, this kind of joint relationship cannot be escaped, whether it was before or now.
Straight-tempered men are now undoubtedly well-known in the army, they are easily agitated, they like to be self-willed, and who has participated in a recapture battle, who has survived a desperate situation for three months, these things are widely circulated among these young soldiers, and of course this is fueled by 'behind-the-scenes' propaganda.
War, as long as it is a war, it needs the existence of a hero, whether the hero is alive or dead, in fact, it is best for the hero to die, because the people behind the scenes can say whatever they want, and there is no proof of death.
But now it's much better than before the end of the world, at least there is no need to flatter anyone in the current army, and there is no need to rack your brains to deal with interpersonal relationships, and the task will be completed, and basically no one will punish you if you can't complete it, because if you can't complete the current task, it means that you are dead.
Lai Liang was also helpless when he thought of this, but no matter how much of this helplessness he said, it was psychological.
What he was most worried about was actually after the arrival of the zombie cháo, because he had already experienced it once, and he couldn't imagine that those walking dead who moved slowly and had no IQ were so difficult to deal with, and the death of his comrades around him had been experienced dozens of times, and each time he remembered it so vividly, and the hoarse cries of his comrades before they died always accompanied Lai Liang every time he fell asleep.
The illegally built small dock is full of zombies, all of which have gathered one by one in the recent period, and dozens of them have gathered in the past two months, all of them who have never eaten food and have been thrown off by the zombie cháo.
Changing into a set of dry camouflage uniforms, Lai Liang looked at his watch, and then looked at the zombies on the shore, his heart was full of unwillingness, the more people who have experienced life and death, the more they cherish life, whether it is their own or other people's. So he really wanted to save some survivors, but the location here was not good, there were treacherous winding roads on the way, and some survivors were basically found at the docks in the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Seeing that the three hands on the watch were moving to the middle position, Lai Liang nodded to Xiao Zhou, who had been waiting by his side, the last shift, and the rope fixed on the dock was already in the middle of the zombie group, so Xiao Zhou picked up the axe and cut the rope directly, and entered the cockpit to start the motor.
The four people sitting in the cabin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several of them had a relaxed smile on their faces. It seems that after returning to the base, he has the capital to show off, anyway, no one knows what he has done here, seeing that Lai Liang also walked into the cockpit, one of them also came to the outside of the cabin and waved his hand to the zombies on the shore to say goodbye, and the other three also came out to laugh and kiss goodbye when they saw this, venting their fears in the past two months, and venting Xiao Zhou's ridicule from time to time.
"Look! What is that? It's a car! Someone's coming! The one who came out at the beginning suddenly shouted, looking at the bus slowly emerging from the rain in the distance, and his face was shocked.
"What's the car?! You're hallucinating, aren't you?! The person next to him was silent for a moment, and then looked at him with some sink.
"What a hallucination! That's the car! It's a bus! Can't you see? He looked at the three people in front of him in surprise.
"Shut up! It's an illusion! Do you understand? ”
The soldier was just about to open his mouth to continue retorting, but suddenly understood something, and looked at the three of them in a threatening look and fell silent.
Then the four of them returned to the cabin, looking at the bus that was gradually disappearing from view, their eyes full of guilt.
