Chapter 319: The Real Reason
Lieutenant General Lu seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, his eyes were tired, and after a short hesitation, he sighed:
"I didn't expect you to find out in the end, I'm sorry."
Lu Yan didn't want to hear these words, what he wanted now was not these useless apologies, but the real reason for Lieutenant General Lu to do this.
Why did Lieutenant General Lu choose to shield the traitors, why did he acquiesce to them raising zombies in the base, and why did he remain indifferent when he knew the reason for the fall of the base tomorrow?!
Is it just because he and Major General Li have known each other for many years, and just because of this, do you treat so many sacrifices as child's play?!
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that his always upright uncle would violate the bottom line because of these things.
Seeing that Lu Yan's expression was changeable, obviously getting more and more emotional, Major General Li suddenly stepped forward and said:
"Let me explain."
He looked at Lu Yan:
"First of all, I apologize to you."
Lu Yan looked away, not wanting to respond.
Major General Li sighed slightly in his heart, and then continued:
"My wife, Xin Min, has been separated from me for a long time, and because of her busy work, communication has gradually become scarce, so I didn't pay attention to what she did or who she came into contact with at first, but I vaguely heard her say that she had never been in contact with a special field that she had never been in contact with, or even thought of."
"In the early stage of the zombie outbreak in the apocalypse, the communication was not cut off at that time, and I hope she will come to the Tongcheng base and get through the difficulties in front of me with me."
When he said this, Major General Li's eyes were in a trance, and his face was full of regret:
"Originally, I was worried that she would not want to come because she participated in the construction of the Shanglan base, but I didn't expect her to agree in one bite, and I was very surprised at that time. However, on the way to the Tongcheng base, she suddenly received an order to transfer to the tomorrow base. ”
Lu Yan's brows became tighter and tighter, he didn't expect it to be so far away.
Major General Li's expression was gloomy and his expression was sad:
"At that time, she talked to me a lot on the phone about how she could create a new way of life for humanity and that she could turn the world upside down."
Major General Li had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth:
"I only thought it strange at the time, she was not young anymore, and she was usually steady, but at that time there was a frenzy in her tone that I had never heard before. One thing is clear, though, she's happy to play Tomorrow Base. ”
"After that, we rarely contacted each other again, and when we did, she was in a hurry, and we couldn't say a few words."
"The last contact was the day before the fall of Tomorrow's base."
"She sent me one last piece of information, and said in a hasty tone that things were completely off the rails, and that she thought she could create a better utopia, but she didn't expect to believe the wrong person, and that person was a madman."
"I was confused, and I was very impressed with only one sentence, we are all going to perish."
The more Lu Yan listened, the more impatient he became, and after saying so much, there was no point at all, and how Xin Min caused the base to land tomorrow was not revealed at all.
However, Major General Li seemed to be caught in his own world, and continued:
"Thinking about it later, the reason why she agreed to come to the Tongcheng base so happily was probably that she had already made the calculation of using the Tongcheng base as an experimental site, but then she had the opportunity to go to the tomorrow base, where the equipment was much more advanced than Tongcheng, and there were more survivors, so she naturally changed her goal."
"If there is no order, it is estimated that the Tongcheng base will be the first to be destroyed."
Speaking of this, the expression on his face became more and more bitter, but he also seemed to understand that Lu Yan wanted to know something else, so he quickly collected his emotions and continued:
"Later, Yu Hong, that is, Major General Yu, came to the base ......"
"Wait!!" Lu Yan suddenly interrupted him, his mind a little confused:
"What's the matter with Major General Yu, he shouldn't have come to the base at that time, I read the information ......"
At this point, he stopped, and the information must have been tampered with like the others.
None of the information in the data room was completely credible, so Lu Yan gave up worrying about the time point and asked instead:
"What was the last piece of information that Xin Min passed on to you?"
Major General Li looked at Lieutenant General Lu silently, and Lieutenant General Lu sighed, took out the information from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan quickly flipped through the things in his hand.
There are many things he knows, such as the dormant virus that Mu Tang said to him, and the fact that there are many people in the Tongcheng base who carry dormant viruses.
But there was also a lot he didn't know.
"So, the Shanglan base was not in the hands of the government from the beginning, and it existed as an experimental site from the moment it was first established?!"
Therefore, Lieutenant General Lu knew about the uneasiness and kindness of the Shanglan base, but he still allowed them to enter the base, and even hesitated when he finally executed them!!
Lu Yan's voice raised slightly, and he only felt that every word of this information was impacting his brain.
He wanted to ask everyone present, since they knew that they were still luring wolves into the house, what the hell were they doing?!
But soon he calmed down, and then his heart cooled.
Lu Yan knew what they were doing, they were sitting and waiting, in vain and then the time when the base fell, slowly waiting for death.
Lieutenant General Lu understood as soon as he saw his expression, and his face was bitter:
"When we learned that there were countless people at this base who were carrying dormant viruses, we were already in despair."
Why?
Because there is no distinction between those who are infected and those who are not infected, as long as it is a simple opportunity, any bottle of blue potion is shattered in the open space of the base, then the zombies will spread to the entire base in an instant!!
"We have seen the power of the blue potion when the Major General came to the base."
At that time, they were still immersed in the shock brought to them by that information, and Yu Hong swaggered into the base.
He picked five random people from the base, locked them in a sealed room, and threw a bottle of blue potion into it.
Three of the five had an instant attack, and in just a few seconds, they turned into zombies, screaming and pounced on the other two.
The facts are in front of us, and it is impossible for Lieutenant General Lu and Major General Li not to believe it.
However, the strange thing is that Yu Hong's request is only to let him dominate the scientific research department in the base, and he does not even ask that the scientific research department is completely his person.
Under pressure, Lieutenant General Lu agreed to his request.
How ridiculous, the fighters of the base are desperately trying to bring back the survivors outside, and it turns out that they are carriers of the dormant zombie virus.
The home that has been built so hard is like an apple that has fallen to the ground when it is ripe, the outer skin is stained, the core of the fruit is also rotting into insects, and only the flesh that is still intact hides everything unbearable.
And they don't even know how to resist, they can only let it develop.
"So you are reluctant to deal with the people in the Shanglan base because you are afraid of the people behind the Shanglan base?"
Lieutenant General Lu nodded:
"Yes."
Then he continued:
"Originally, we could have chosen to ignite the missile and destroy the whole city, but until the dormant zombie virus is revived, the base is full of flesh and blood, and we have never been able to make a decision, which is unfair to them."
"So we had to choose how long we could last, but you came back all of a sudden, and we had a new idea."
He looked at Lu Yan's eyes with deep and meaningful meaning:
"Lu Yan, after all, thermal weapons are just lifeless steel and iron bones, they will kill all people indiscriminately, but people are not."
"Before you come back, there is no high-level ability in the base, and even if there is, we can't be sure that he won't be reinfected by the zombie virus and become a high-level zombie."
"No one has the ability to save people in the event of a full-blown outbreak of the virus at the base and still save themselves, and no one has the ability to re-establish a home for humanity."
"Even if someone is lucky enough to survive and barely find a place to live, but at that time, without supplies and weapons, how long can everyone survive?"
"Without the guidance of the rules, will the survivors kill each other in order to survive?"
Lieutenant General Lu said leisurely:
"We thought about it a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that this game is unsolvable, and no matter how we choose, we can't avoid the end of destruction, so we can only find ways to postpone that date."
"But when you came back, everything changed, and we had new options, so we could keep pulling ourselves together."
Lu Yan was not guided by him, but denied:
"If this reason is not valid, how can you guarantee that I will not be infected?"
Lieutenant General Lu shook his head:
"You misunderstood, you are not that reason, the real reason, is by your side."
Lu Yan was stunned, his side, the real reason?!
Beside him was ......
