Chapter 621: Eyes
Zheng Jieming threw the doll into the fire, turned and walked to the door.
Zheng Zhilan observed her brother's every move and smiled.
"Let's go, this matter is almost over, and we have to announce the situation to everyone." Zheng Jieming said to the armed men who were still guarding the door.
There was a sense of exhaustion in his voice.
The task of announcing the facts was entrusted to Lin Boqiang. Lin Boqiang withstood everyone's doubts, and did not immediately announce the results, but first chatted carefully with the surviving people, and after thoroughly understanding their experiences, he restored the matter as it was, and then conveyed it to the remaining survivors.
And his explanations have finally been recognized by everyone.
A group of black-robed men and four white-robed men had been secretly existing during Sun Cheng's reign.
At that time, these people privately developed their own ideas and quietly spread these ideas.
But the effect was not ideal -- originally they had another member, who was sentenced to death by Sun Cheng for other reasons. This has greatly hindered their spread.
They are like a handful of dry firewood, with a large number of empty "ideas" but no soil for action -- under the leadership of Sun Cheng, who is centralized, they have little room to see through the cracks.
However, the appearance of Qin Qin was like a fire, allowing their distorted "faith" to be brought into full play.
Qin Qin's "speech" in the underground shopping mall won the trust of a large number of survivors, and the five-member team immediately contacted Qin Qin privately.
Qin Qin didn't seem to understand their behavior, she was in a state of confusion at all. She had long since lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but she was willing to speak up for them, and when she was revered as the "Divine Mother", she did not have any objections.
She still seems to like it.
However, the relatively free soil of the Anti-League gave these people the best space for development.
Who says that centralization equals dictatorship and freedom equals security?
......
When the survivors learned that the matter had come to light, they all thought of the hand-drawn flyers they had received earlier, as well as of some people who seemed to behave strangely before.
Lin Boqiang had his detainees executed in accordance with their newly enacted "law."
Including Cai Ling and Niu Laowang.
Niu Laowang's only request before he died was to put Qin Qin's body together.
Let's go together, Lin Boqiang agreed to his request - in fact, all the people were parked in the restaurant, which was their "salvation" place, but also their "death" place.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Zheng Jieming sat alone on top of a high-rise building -- this is the commanding height of the city on the south bank.
From the top of the building, he looked around, and to the southwest were the mountains, where they had hunted, and some time ago the members of the agricultural group would go there to hunt when it was safe to do so--in fact, each of the members of the agricultural group also carried weapons when they went out, and when necessary, they themselves were armed men.
It's just that there are too many zombies in the south now, and hunting has basically been canceled.
To the south, there are still plains or hills, and if there are no dark clouds, maybe the view can be better, right?
The north is Zheng Jieming's own home, where he has lost.
......
"What are you doing on the roof by yourself?" A voice came from behind.
Zheng Jieming turned around, he was upright.
Zheng Jieming then nodded, "Come up and take a look." ”
"Look at zombies? There are still a lot of zombies coming over in the south, and the defense needs to be strengthened. Geng Zhi said, "I plan to take a wave of commandos and go around outside, on the one hand, to kill some zombies, and to reopen the road for hunters to enter the mountains." ”
"Yes. Pretty good, you decide. Zheng Jieming nodded.
Geng looked at Zheng Jieming and sat next to him.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out one himself, and handed it to Zheng Jieming, "Do you smoke?" ”
Zheng Jieming looked at the cigarette, suddenly thought of the scene of his sister smoking*, and shook his head, "No! ”
Geng Zhi lit the cigarette himself.
Cigarettes are no longer controlled by Wang Xinrui. There are too many people, and there is no room for her kindness.
"You've been in the wrong form lately." Geng Zhi took two sips and asked Zheng Jieming, "It seems that there is no more aggressiveness at the beginning?" ”
Zheng Jieming was asked by this sentence in his heart.
He felt that way himself.
Since when? He himself didn't know. Maybe it started with Zhou Jitang's accidental death and the team falling apart?? Or is it from the time of encountering cannibals??
I can't tell you exactly when, but from an inexplicable time, a small sense of powerlessness has always enveloped him.
After the dark clouds spread across the sky, he felt more deeply that this group of people was like a group of playthings, being played with by someone who didn't know who was in the palm of their hands. It seems that no matter what he does, it will not get too good.
"Are you tired?" Geng Zhi asked, "No matter how tired you are, you have to hold on, otherwise our previous efforts to live will be in vain." If the sun refuses to come out, we are just cockroaches, and we have to live, right? ”
Zheng Jieming nodded.
"You're right. But have you ever thought about it? What the hell is it like out there now? ”
"Outside?" Geng Zhi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"It's outside of Midstate. Where did this disaster originate? Perhaps if this mystery cannot be solved, we will not escape the tragedy. ”
Geng Zhi couldn't fully understand what Zheng Jieming said, he didn't know everything Zheng Jieming saw in the West Research Institute, and he didn't know what Zheng Jieming's family members had experienced.
"Do you mean the situation abroad?" Geng asked, "It doesn't seem to matter, does it?" The important thing is that we have to survive in the current environment. ”
Zheng Jieming nodded.
He was hesitating at a decision.
......
"Okay, we'll get back to that." After Geng Zhi chatted with Zheng Jieming for a few more words, he stood up and prepared to go downstairs first.
As he turned around, he saw a figure leaning against the stairwell downstairs, looking at the two of them.
"Who?!" Geng asked vigilantly.
Zheng Jieming also immediately turned around.
The figure appeared to be a woman, and a gust of wind blew through her hair.
Zheng Jieming could see that it was his sister.
......
"It's okay, I'll talk to her, you can go back first." Zheng Jieming stood up and looked at his sister, but said to Geng Zhi.
Geng Zhi didn't know the relationship between the two, but guessed that the woman had some other relationship with Zheng Jieming, and he patted Zheng Jieming's shoulder meaningfully, "So that's the reason...... But you'll have to get in shape. ”
Zheng Zhilan smiled as Geng Zhi passed by her, then looked at Zheng Jieming and laughed.
"Hahaha, your brothers are quite interesting."
Zheng Jieming nodded.
"I heard what you just said, so, you're not in the right state now, what's going on in your heart?" Zheng Zhilan immediately withdrew her smile and asked straight to the point.
"What do you think? I was thinking, it seems that there really are so many things, many things that have no answers, and no meaning. Zheng Jieming did not hide his true thoughts in front of his sister.
"Meaning? So what makes sense? Are you saying there's no point in living? ”
"No, I just want to know how long this situation will last...... Perhaps, my current state is no longer suitable to be the leader of the so-called Anti-Japanese Alliance, right? Zheng Jieming looked into the distance -- the darkness was like nothingness in the distance.
"And what are you going to do? Abdicate? Hahaha! Everybody is chasing power, but you want to quit? Zheng Zhilan asked with a smile.
Zheng Jieming shook his head, "I just feel that I am not suitable to take on too much responsibility for more people." In the past, we had a small team of a few dozen people and another leader, but he died, and I've been the one to take the lead ever since. It's fine when there are fewer people, but it's different when there are more people. ”
"You'd rather be a pioneer...... Is that what it means? Zheng Zhilan asked.
Zheng Jieming glanced at his sister, and he suddenly felt a little strange, he and her had actually not seen each other for many years, but he still regarded her as the closest person.
"That's right."
......
"Then you might as well go." The two paused for a moment, and Zheng Zhilan suddenly said such a sentence.
Zheng Jieming was puzzled and raised his head, "Let's go??" You mean to let me give up on all of them?? ”
"No, it's not to give up on everyone, the Anti-Japanese League can turn without you, and now, many hidden dangers have been removed, even the cult has been eliminated, I think you also organized them to build a fairly good system, everyone has a grouped career, and there are a few good people who can take the lead, you are not a person who must exist." Zheng Zhilan said very seriously.
......
"Then what do you mean by leaving?" Zheng Jieming asked.
"Didn't you mention that you don't know what's going on outside?" Zheng Zhilan asked, "Then it's better to go outside and have a look." ”
Zheng Jieming listened to her and did not interject. "You can be their eyes, follow me around the places, find out what is going on in each place, and how many survivors there are, which can be regarded as contributing to the expansion of your resistance alliance."
"Eyes?" Zheng Jieming's eyes lit up, he had similar ideas, but he never wanted to implement them.
"Yes, yes. I'm not like you, and if I had your idea, I'd do it right away. Zheng Zhilan said, "Besides, don't you want to know where your mother is?" ”
