Chapter 153: The Reason for Tolerance
As soon as Lu Yan's words fell, Lieutenant General Lu looked at him in surprise, and after a long while, he asked uncertainly:
"You...... What did you just say? ”
Lu Yan's tone was firm, and he repeated again:
"I said, we're going to get married."
"Oh... Marriage ......" His expression was a little dull, and he repeated it repeatedly, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly react, and said with some excitement:
"It's good to get married, it's good to get married, you have a family when you get married, and you don't have to ...... alone in the future"
As if he had thought of something, his eyes moistened a little, and he continued:
"I'm relieved to see you're doing well, and your parents will be happy."
It was the first time Lu Yan had seen his uncle so emotionally exposed, and he had the impression that he was always cold and hard, not good at words, and his gestures were dignified, making it difficult for people to approach.
Lieutenant General Lu looked at Mu Tang again at this time, his eyes obviously changed, and a trace of "kindness" was squeezed out of his cold and hard gaze.
He pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, tried to show a "kind" smile, and asked Mu Tang not very skillfully:
"How old is the little girl, ...... home?"
He wanted to ask where his family lived, but suddenly remembered that in the last days, most people had left their homes in order to escape, and it didn't seem appropriate to ask, so he changed his words:
Is "Your Parents ......" okay?
He didn't say the last three words, because he found it even more inappropriate to ask the question now.
The room fell silent, and the supreme ruler of the base was visibly embarrassed.
General Lu himself is a person who is not good at words, and his identity makes him rarely gossip with others.
Lu Yan is his only junior, and he is the successor who was raised as a parent, and now he brings his beloved girl to see him.
Rao is a lieutenant general of the road, and he can't help but be a little nervous.
When it was discovered that the "standard interrogation template" used by the elders to ask the juniors before the end of the world was no longer applicable, Lieutenant General Lu didn't know what to say for a while.
Mu Tang only saw the elders in front of him pulling the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, forcibly revealing a "smile" that could not see a smile, which looked very laborious.
After thinking about it, she said quite understandingly:
"Don't push yourself so hard."
Lu Zhongjiang's expression was blank for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Mu Tang say generously:
"I had something wrong with my body before, I don't remember anything other than my name, after Lu Yan picked me up, we have been together!"
Lieutenant General Lu nodded stunned.
Lu Yan laughed, lowered his head and rubbed Mu Tang's hair, and when he looked up, his expression had become serious:
"Lieutenant General, I want to ask you, the purpose of the people in the Shanglan base is unknown, and it is very likely to cause losses to the base, why should they be left alone?"
The title has changed, which means that Lu Yan is asking his superiors as a soldier, hoping that Lieutenant General Lu will give objective reasons and not evade the question.
Lieutenant General Lu knew that Lu Yan would ask, and he was not surprised, but walked to the window, looked at the busy soldiers outside the window, and the survivors sitting on the ground not far away with numb faces, and sighed:
"Lu Yan, there is not much room for human beings to live, not everyone has special abilities and can survive in this cruel world, I have to plan for those who are not capable of protecting themselves, this is my responsibility."
"Once you do something to Shanglan's people, even if you just supervise them, it means directly turning against Shanglan."
Lieutenant General Lu smiled bitterly as he spoke, and looked at Lu Yan's thoughtful face:
"First, Tongcheng's ammunition reserves have bottomed out, and the soldiers have also suffered heavy casualties, and we are already a drop in the bucket to defend against zombies, and we have no more energy to deal with Shanglan's stab in the back."
"Second, it's the last thing I want to see."
He paused as he said this, his face a little tired:
"What if...... I mean, if the Tongcheng base is lost and falls, I hope that those who survive will at least have a place to go. ”
Lu Yan lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and asked the last question:
"There are already too many small hands and feet in the Shanglan base, how can you guarantee that they won't stab us in the back, and will take in the survivors after the Tongcheng base falls?"
Lieutenant General Lu shook his head and said without any hesitation:
"I can't guarantee it, it's hard to even guarantee it."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, did not say a word, and heard him say to the firm eyes of Lieutenant General Shanglu:
"But I'd rather choose a superficial peace than an enemy on the surface, at least they can take care of it, don't they?"
Lu Yan exhaled and did not continue to ask.
Lieutenant General Lu's reasoning has succeeded in convincing him, but he has not considered the problem from the level of Lieutenant General Lu.
Those in power who have a common heart often need to think about more problems, and are more controlled by others, even if they are roasted on the fire, they must suppress the pain back into their mouths, and face the pain with composure, as Lieutenant General Lu is an example.
Lieutenant General Lu walked over, patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and handed him the information he had just taken out of the room and put on the table:
"Take it and take a look, this material was originally prepared for you."
Lu Yan took the folder, flipped through it, and asked:
"What are these?"
Lieutenant General Lu replied:
"At present, all the information that the Tongcheng base can grasp is the investigation of the cause of the apocalypse, as well as the research results of abilities and individual high-level zombies."
Lu Yan's heart perked up, the research results of high-level zombies?! Is that the ability to find some information about Mutang?
Lu Yan immediately calmed down, lowered his head, and looked at the information in the folder one by one.
Lieutenant General Lu stood beside him, looking him up and down, a hint of relief in his eyes.
He and this nephew had not seen each other for a long time, and he was worried about his safety when the end times came.
After a few thoughts, he finally violated his rules for the first time, mixed his selfish intentions in official duties, and said to the soldiers who went out on a mission that he hoped they could help him find Lu Yan as much as they could.
I had lost hope for a long time, but I didn't expect that the young boy back then could still stand in front of him with a good ability.
I was thinking about it, and my sleeves were suddenly torn!
Lieutenant General Lu turned his head and flattered Shang Mutang with a little coquettish smile, and then heard her ask:
"Uncle, do you have one?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand, her index finger and thumb bent, her fingertips close together, and looked at Lieutenant General Lu with a "you know" look.
