Chapter Seventy-Six: Choice and Doubt
Qin Zhen's team came out with heavy losses, and now only he and Yan Mingxu are left, and they have to protect the few civilians who have been saved, and they are no longer capable of continuing the mission.
In addition, he met Lu Yan, and the base of tomorrow had fallen, and he wanted Lu Yan to be transferred to the Tongcheng base, so he chose to stay here to repair.
At this time, Lu Yan and him were sitting in the baby room on the second floor.
Qin Zhen held a small black square box in his hand, which was the same as Lu Yan's, and kept rotating the buttons on it.
The small square box made intermittent dripping and electric currents.
The password sequence of each base is different, and Lu Yan has no way to translate the information transmitted, so he can only wait for Qin Zhen to convey it.
But at present, the results of the communication do not seem to be optimistic.
The dripping sound of the small square box completely turned into a busy sound after a burst of electric sound.
Qin Zhen shook the box vigorously, and now he wanted to smash the contact device on the ground, and finally had no choice but to take it back.
"Can't get a signal?" Lu Yan asked.
Qin Zhen nodded sullenly.
In the last days, no one will maintain those base stations, plus zombies are damaged, knocked down by cars, various natural disasters, etc., and the civilian signal communication has long been completely out of order.
And because of the loss of the above-ground satellite station, most of the satellites that are still touring outer space have failed.
The only part that can be used naturally has to be spent on the blade -
For example, missile bombardment positioning.
Qin Zhen sighed:
"The bombing mission was supposed to be carried out together with the two bases of Tomorrow Base and Tongcheng Base, but now that Tomorrow Base has fallen, the above choice is to continue the mission, and the Tongcheng Base is currently under great pressure."
He looked at Lu Yan with a wry smile:
"The ammunition reserves of the base in the same city are far inferior to the base of tomorrow, and when the base was built, a lot of ammunition was spent to clean up the zombies."
"Originally, it was communicated that a part of the base from tomorrow would be transported, but before it could be delivered, the base of tomorrow fell."
Mayor Qin let out a long sigh and said helplessly:
"It's still making matters worse."
There was a sudden knock on the door, the two raised their heads, and Ren Yu stood behind the door and said in a low voice:
Lu Yan ...... You said I could talk to you. ”
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, gave Qin Zhen a look, stood up and walked out.
Mu Tang on the other side doesn't seem to have so many worries, since Lin Wanwan came, she has another playmate.
"It seems like there were four of you before, but what about the other one?"
Mu Tang was very arrogant, he didn't think about it so much, and asked directly.
Lin Wanwan's face, which was still smiling, instantly dimmed, and he said softly after a while:
Yang Peng...... It's gone. ”
Mu Tang also knew that he shouldn't ask more, shook his feet, and was about to change the topic, but Lin Wanwan continued:
"We don't know what's going on, we fell into the trap set by others, there are a lot of zombies, and there is no way to move together, so we hurriedly agreed on a meeting point and left separately, Yang Peng was with Xia Sen."
"When we meet, there will be only Xia Sen left, he said that Yang Peng accidentally alarmed the zombie and was bitten."
Lin Wanwan muttered, his mind full of the scene of that day.
At that time, they really couldn't believe that Yang Peng would die, and grabbed Xia Sen to ask for details.
Xia Sen didn't want to talk about it anymore, but if he asked more, he would lose his temper.
In the end, he became more and more sensitive to this issue, and as soon as someone brought it up, he yelled:
"You're hoping to die for me, aren't you!! I don't have any special powers, I will drag you back, Yang Peng won't, so you just want me to die!! Would you rather me die!! ”
He was extremely emotional, and occasionally apologized quietly once or twice after losing his temper, saying that he was just emotionally out of control, saying that Yang Peng died in front of him that day, and he really didn't want to recall that scene again.
Beg them to let him go, not to remind him of those things again, not to ask again, for to ask again is to force him to death.
So in the end, neither she nor Ren Yu could speak again.
After all, Xia Sen is no longer the Xia Sen they knew, he has a very extreme personality now, and often does some impulsive things.
They were afraid that Xia Sen would really rush into the zombie horde and die to show them.
Yang Peng is dead, and they can no longer afford to lose their companions.
Lin Wanwan simply summarized what happened, but did not mention the lingering doubts in her heart.
I don't know why, she always felt that Yang Peng's death was inseparable from Xia Sen, but this was just her suspicion, and she couldn't convict Xia Sen because of this suspicion, so she kept it in her heart and didn't say it.
……
“…… I always feel that things are not so simple, Yang Peng is very cautious, between the few of us, he is actually the most careful person, and the possibility of alarming the zombies is too small. ”
Ren Yu on the other side also said this to Lu Yan, he lowered his head, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of struggle:
"I don't know what to do now, Xia Sen is also our companion, but his reaction after he came back is too abnormal, I can't help but doubt him."
Lu Yan leaned against the wall and listened to Ren Yu's narration in silence.
He said that they were driving on the road when they were cut by a wire that suddenly appeared, and then a dense crowd of zombies suddenly appeared around them.
With this familiar style of crime, Lu Yan is almost certain that it is Jin Kaichang and their gang.
It seems that they have set traps on more than one path.
Lu Yan asked out loud:
"Do you suspect that Xia Sen killed Yang Peng?"
Ren Yu shook his head and said gloomily:
"No, he has no motive to harm Yang Peng. I mean, did they inadvertently alarm the zombies, and then Xia Sen left Yang Peng and ran away alone. ”
"Can't you accept that your companions will abandon you and run away in the face of danger?" Lu Yan then asked.
Ren Yu's expression was in a trance for a moment, and then he shook his head:
"No, everyone has the right to choose their birth. It's just that I probably ...... Won't trust such a companion anymore. ”
Xia Sen is currently in such a position, Ren Yu is very complicated with him now, he has no choice, he trusts Xia Sen wholeheartedly, but he doesn't want to leave him behind.
Lu Yan smiled and said:
"You're nothing like your dad."
He had met Ren Huaicheng, in northern Myanmar.
That's a complete outlaw, more ruthless than Jin Kaichang, and especially good at controlling people's hearts.
If such a thing appeared in front of Ren Huaicheng, Xia Sen would have already chopped up the nameless water corpse that sank at the bottom of the Irrawaddy River.
I didn't expect his son to be born so affectionately.
"When we first met, you weren't like this, and now you make me feel like the you've seen before are just my delusions."
Lu Yan said leisurely.
Ren Yu suddenly remembered that he wanted to kill people and sell goods as soon as he saw Lu Yan, and then he wanted to use Lu Yan to cause trouble, his face couldn't help but turn red completely, and he lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry ......"
Lu Yan looked down at him, this kid has the shadow of his father in doing things, and he is neat and decisive, from the moment he shot the fat man without hesitation, Lu Yan knew it.
It's just that compared to his Lao Tzu, this kid has an extra layer of affection and righteousness, and he values his companions very seriously.
"You've already made up your mind for a long time, and you just want me to tell you that you're doing the right thing." Lu Yan said lightly.
Ren Yu was silent, he really thought so.
"But I can't answer you, it's your own decision, it may affect your life, and your life shouldn't be controlled by me."
Lu Yan continued.
Ren Yu raised his head in astonishment, he didn't expect Lu Yan to answer like this, and he felt a little lost in his heart.
Lu Yan saw what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and continued:
"But I can give you a suggestion, if you haven't been able to make a decision, then you can ask for it yourself, and don't back down because of the other party's attitude."
After Lu Yan said this, he turned around and left.
Ren Yu stood in place in a daze.
