Chapter Seventy-Four: Never Give Up on Your Fellow Citizens

Even if he had been prepared in his heart, when Lu Yan heard the news, a sense of desolation inevitably rose in his heart.

“…… Why, you know? ”

Qin Zhen shook his head, his face was full of bitterness, and he lit another cigarette:

"I don't know, it was so sudden that there was no warning. Even the last information we got was just an encrypted code, and we have been completely out of touch since then. ”

Lu Yan's fingertips moved slightly, wanting to say that losing contact does not mean falling.

But he didn't say this in the end, because he knew that Qin Zhen was not a person who made up his mind, and there must have been a solid basis for saying this.

Sure enough, I only heard Qin Zhen's suppressed voice continue:

"A week after we lost contact, we ventured to send a helicopter to investigate, and from a distance we saw the base in flames, black smoke rising everywhere, and a huge gap in the city wall. For safety reasons, we gave the helicopter a return order. ”

When Qin Zhenshang said this, he raised his head and looked at Lu Yan's eyes full of sorrow:

"In that case, what will be the outcome of tomorrow's base, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts, isn't it?"

Lu Yan was speechless, yes, everyone already has a number in their hearts, what else can they have besides the fall?

Qin Zhen's voice was a little choked:

"There are obvious traces of flame burning on the walls of the city wall, so we speculate that it should be besieged by high-level zombies."

It's terrifying, the once fragile flesh and blood can now easily damage the walls of steel, the lines of defense stacked with heavy weapons, without much effort.

Qin Zhen looked very powerless:

"The Tomorrow Base is currently the largest survivor base, and its fall represents a direct reduction of the safe living area of human beings by half, and now there are only two bases built by the government, one is the Tongcheng base to which I belong, and the other is the southernmost Shanglan base."

Lu Yan frowned: "Shanglan base? But the leader of that base has always refused to talk to us, is that the government built it? ”

Qin Zhen replied:

"It's true that it was built by the southern government, and we've been trying to communicate with each other, but it's not going well."

Lu Yan nodded, feeling that this topic was too heavy, so he asked again:

"What about you, what is the mission of coming out this time?"

Qin Zhen didn't answer directly, but said something else:

"A few days ago, I got a message from the base that country M, which is far across the ocean, chose to use missiles to bombard the city after the fall of the city, so as to suppress the number of zombies, and the results are very impressive."

Lu Yan suddenly:

"So the base is going to be?"

Qin Zhen nodded:

"Yes, but the premise for the other party to achieve this remarkable result is to destroy all the survivors in the city."

"We can't afford to ignore the surviving civilians like the other government, so before the operation is carried out, the army is dispatched to search and bomb the city and bring the survivors back to the base."

This may seem like a natural order, but in fact the blood and sacrifice in it will be immeasurable.

After all, compared to country M, its own country is more than twice as densely populated as the other party.

Under such a premise, the number of survivors will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of search and rescue will increase exponentially.

In the most sensible terms, this is a loss-making deal, because the number of civilians rescued may be far less than the number of soldiers killed in the search and rescue.

But the phrase "we will never give up on our compatriots" is deeply in the blood, so the government still issued this directive knowing what the consequences would be.

Qin Zhen's voice was desolate, and he opened his mouth to spit out the remaining string of words mechanically:

"Lu Yan, once a person with an ability above the third order is transformed into a zombie, he will reach the fourth order in a very short period of time, and such a zombie can easily slaughter hundreds of our compatriots. Therefore, once many people are bitten by zombies, they will choose to swallow guns and commit suicide. ”

Qin Zhen pointed to the armored car outside that was buried by the wreckage, and his voice was empty and unwavering:

"In that car, there were two bullets that my brother shot into his head."

Lu Yan was completely speechless, silently pulled out a cigarette from Qin Zhen's chest pocket, lit it silently, and took a hard puff.

……

Mu Tang took the little soldier and a few students downstairs, and shrank in the corner with his head buried in the mud.

As soon as she noticed Mu Tang's breath, she immediately wanted to pounce, but when she saw several figures behind her, she arched her back vigilantly and bared her teeth.

Mu Tang patted its head casually, and said indifferently:

"Okay, your teeth are not good-looking, nothing special except for a little white, you don't have to show it like this all the time, no one will praise you!"

The mud was beaten, and then after hearing this, he only felt even more blind, and his two big eyes looked at Mu Tang stunned, full of confusion.

The group of people behind him were also stunned when they heard Mu Tang's words.

Lin Wanwan even swept away the gloom all over his body, and Mu Ne had a pretty little face, looking at the girl in front of him who impatiently asked the giant beast to raise its front paws to make a position.

Little sister, is there a possibility that it bared its teeth not to hear praise, but to really want to eat people?!

Mu Tang drove the mud and reluctantly shrunk his body, but even so, it still didn't have much effect, and there wasn't much room for it.

Mu Tang dragged the mud-crushed sofa out from behind it.

The little Yan soldier in the back saw that Mu Tang was dragging the sofa, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said softly:

"I'll come."

Of course, it would be best if someone helped, Mu Tang naturally let go.

As soon as Mud saw someone other than Mu Tang approaching, he immediately became vigilant again, and stared at Yan Mingxu with a low roar.

Yan Mingxu was unmoved, and quickly dragged the two sofas out.

Mu Tang muttered in his heart that he should change to another house, and it was the same wherever he wanted to change, and as soon as the mud went in, there was no place for people to rest.

During his thoughts, Yan Mingxu had thoughtfully placed the sofa against the wall, and asked embarrassedly:

"Do you think that's going to work?"

Mu Tang came back to his senses, glanced at the sofa, and nodded:

"Yes."

After thinking about it, he showed a shallow smile to Yan Mingxu and said:

"Thank you!"

Yan Mingxu hurriedly waved his hand, and said a little helplessly:

"No, no."

Then he looked at Mu Tang's smiling face, and unconsciously raised his hand and touched the back of his head.

Mu Tang didn't notice so much, and looked at the sofa again:

Two sofas, barely enough for four people to rest, but ......

Mu Tang looked at Lin Wanwan, this girl she still remembered, she was a good person who protected her tightly behind her at the gas station to prevent Xia Sen from killing her.

It shouldn't be convenient for the girls to rest with a few of their big men, and Qin Zhen will come down later.

So Mu Tang stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wanwan's hand:

"You come with me."
