Chapter 523 Zhen Shuai is very disappointed [first update]
The ground was littered with broken pieces of flesh, bones, and scarlet blood that exuded a corrosive smell. It was as if the entire base had just been massacred by a terrible enemy. I'm afraid it will take some time to clean up. Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu didn't want to stay in the base, so they brought Marshmallow and Ling'er to the entrance of the base.
The gate of the base is not the original entrance of the airport, but was later rebuilt to make it easier for large numbers of people to enter and exit. The gate was locked at this time and the guard was nowhere to be found.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu took Marshmallow and Ling'er and climbed over the wall directly.
Zhen Shuai also wanted to see what was going on outside.
The two of them came back near noon, and the situation outside was not optimistic.
In the humid forest, the ground was dried out, not even a drop of dew was visible, and the air was so dry that it was difficult to breathe. The tall trees are gone, but the short plants have withered, as if autumn has entered early. The animals in the forest are also more manic than before, and they are fighting with each other extremely fiercely.
The only good thing is that the fruit trees in the forest are not affected by the drought at all. Each fruit tree is still full of energy, and there is no trace of water loss in the fruit. This at least leaves humanity with a glimmer of hope. But this hope comes with greater dangers. Because animals are also eager for the water in miao fruits. There were three to five animal carcasses under every fruit tree that Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu saw.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu walked all the way to the lake, and the lake was completely dry. Finally, they went to the edge of the natural chasm. Before they got close, they felt a scorching heat coming towards their faces. When they looked around, they saw that the "red wave" deep in the crack was obviously closer to the ground.
Zhen Shuai is worried that this "red wave" is the biggest crisis for mankind. He suddenly felt that maybe the humans in the gene explosion world were the worst humans in all the apocalyptic worlds he had ever been to.
The audience felt the same way. They all saw the "red wave" deep in the crack. Although they didn't know what it was, they always felt that it must be something very scary.
At the entrance of the base, the guard reappeared at the gate. Although the door was wide open, no one came in or out. Only Wu Shangjun was walking around in front of the door, as if waiting for someone.
"Captain Wu." Zhen Shuai greeted.
When Wu Shangjun saw the two of them, he excitedly greeted them, "You're back, I'm almost dying! Come with me, General Liu wants to see you!" "What's the matter?" Zhen Shuai doesn't want to deal with the people above him yet
. .
Wu Shangjun looked at him with some frustration, "What do you think? You two can be said to be everyone's savior. If my guess is right, General Liu must commend you! By the way, where have you been? At this time You still dare to go out, and I'm convinced!"
"We don't need praise." Zhen Shuai waved his hand and asked with concern, "Have you done the statistics? How many people are there in the base now?" The
relief on Wu Shangjun's face disappeared, and he was filled with sadness. He sighed: "According to statistics, almost 100,000 people died. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there would be even more dead." "Have you
found the reason?" Zhen Shuai asked.
Wu Shangjun was about to answer when he thought of business, slapped his forehead, and reached out to pull him, "Come with me quickly, General Liu is still waiting! I have issued a military order, and I must take you to see him! If you want to know anything, let me know on the way. You guys."
Zhen Shuai was helpless.
"Lead the way."
"Experts are still investigating the cause of the explosion. I think it will take at least a day or two to find out. This matter is too big. When the results are found, the base should announce them. Otherwise, , and it's hard to explain to other survivors, after all, many of the dead people have relatives and friends." Wu Shangjun said as he walked, walking very fast.
Commander Zhen and Shen Xingdu walked side by side with him easily.
"I'll ask General Liu when I meet him," Zhen Shuai said.
Wu Shangjun gave him a strange look, "Aren't you nervous? That's a general!" The word "general" was emphasized by him.
Zhen Shuai said casually: "What's there to be nervous about? I didn't kill anyone or set fire to anything."
"You're awesome!" Wu Shangjun had nothing to say and gave him a thumbs up.
General Liu is an old man in his early sixties with gray hair and a majestic air. On behalf of the entire base, he expressed his gratitude to Commander Zhen and Governor Shen and rewarded them with 2,000 point points tickets. His attitude was quite official.
Zhen Shuai expected to return disappointed today. Sure enough, when he asked about the results of the investigation, General Liu just gave a few perfunctory words. Just as he was about to ask again, someone came to see General Liu. It seemed that he had something urgent to report. He had no choice but to take the initiative to leave.
General Liu really didn't take Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing seriously. He had too many things to worry about every day. Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing had made great contributions, but he had already expressed his gratitude, so this matter was in the past for him.
Wu Shangjun had been waiting downstairs and noticed that Zhen Shuai didn't look good.
"What's going on?"
"Captain Wu, we plan to leave early tomorrow morning." Zhen Shuai had already thought about it when he went downstairs.
Wu Shangjun was startled and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Did General Liu not only fail to praise you, but also criticized you?" "That's not true." Commander Zhen looked calm, "Originally, I thought that I knew more information
. Maybe we can find a solution to the problem, but the general is unwilling to say anything. There is no use for us to stay." Wu Shangjun didn't know what to say for a while, and his thoughts were very contradictory
. Zhen Shuai said that he might be able to find a solution to the problem, but he didn't quite believe it. Even a group of experts couldn't do something. How could he do it alone? But he also felt that Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu were very mysterious, and maybe it was really possible. However, he knew better that it didn't matter what he thought, because he was just a squad leader and could not interfere with the decisions above.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Shen, if you really can't stay any longer, I can't force you to stay. It will only make you unhappy. It's just..." Wu Shangjun hesitated for a long time before making up his mind. He spoke out his thoughts, "Before you leave, I have a request. If you feel embarrassed, it doesn't matter if you don't agree! It's just that I won't be willing to say it out, so - well, you can just listen to it!" "Are you right
? Want to learn Tianluo Shenquan?" Zhen Shuai made the request for him.
Wu Shangjun saw that there was no annoyance on his face, but a smile that seemed to be appreciative. He glanced at Shen Xingdu again, and Shen Xingdu didn't seem to mind.
He nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"Okay."
Wu Shangjun's eyes widened, "You agreed?"
Zhen Shuai nodded and smiled, "Why not? You want to promote it in the base, right? This is a good thing."
Wu Shangjun Overjoyed, he punched hard, "Great! Great! Thank you, thank you!"
Zhen Shuai said gently: "Find a quiet place, and prepare a mobile phone or video recorder."
Wu Shangjun couldn't laugh anymore. , "You still decide to leave tomorrow? You don't plan to stay a few more days."
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow." Zhen Shuai was a little disinterested.
Wu Shangjun knew what he was worried about, but he was helpless because of his soft words.
Early the next morning, Wu Shangjun and Luo Nian came to see Commander Zhen and Governor Shen off.
The entrance to the base was as deserted as yesterday. The survivors seemed to be still in the shock of yesterday's events, and only a handful of people walked out of the base.
Luo Nian shook his head contemptuously, "Those people were scared."
Wu Shangjun said coldly: "Just stay back, they will come out when the food is finished!"
They are all grown men, and there is nothing to be pretentious about. A word of caution is enough.
"We will come back in about a week or two. I think there will be a result no matter what by then." Before leaving, Zhen Shuai said again. He added in his mind that if the leadership of the base was not strong enough, he would accept the base without ceremony.
Wu Shangjun and the others didn't know what he was thinking, and they were very happy to have the opportunity to see their friend again.
"Okay, I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"Let's go." Zhen Shuai waved his hand and turned around gracefully.
Wu Shangjun and the others watched the two lovers drifting away from each other. They felt inexplicably that they were very carefree, and there was a deep feeling of envy in their hearts.
"Hey, captain, tell me, when we learn Tianluo Shenquan, will we be able to go wherever we want like them, with the sea wide and the fish jumping, and the sky high allowing the birds to fly?" Luo Nian looked fascinated. .
"Ha!" Wu Shangjun snorted and slapped him on the head, "Wait until you learn how to do it! Let's go back and practice boxing!" For two weeks in a row, Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu lingered in the forest
. , someone cheated on the live broadcast system and figured out the locations of all the survivor bases, large and small, in Yonghu City. The total number of survivors was less than two million. This number is a bit far from Zhen Shuai's goal. He just had to eat the food one bite at a time, so he wasn't in a hurry.
In the past two weeks, benefits have been distributed twice.
Zhen Shuai asked 004 that the animals and plants here cannot survive in the environment of other worlds. This eliminated the possibility of biological invasion. He safely produced some mutated animal meat and mutated fruits and gave them to the audience as a bonus.
After tasting the taste of the mutant food, the audience fell in love with it. One of the spectators gave Zhen Shuai 500 tickets in one go. Under the curious questioning of other spectators, this spectator said with embarrassment that the mutated venison given to him by Zhen Shuai cured his hidden disease!
At this time, some viewers were not calm anymore, and regardless of the issue of face, they asked the anchor to distribute more venison next time when giving out welfare.
Zhen Shuai did not expect that there would be so many viewers with hidden diseases, so he secretly had fun for a while and readily agreed.
In addition, some viewers left the seeds of the fruit in disbelief and decided to wait until spring to try to plant one.
Zhen Shuai didn't say much about this, just sow if you want, as long as you're happy.
Two weeks later, he and Shen Xingdu returned to the airport base as scheduled.
The double height of the wall and the obviously doubled number of guards made Zhen Shuai pause for a moment.
Chapter 524 The commander is in action [Second update]
Shen Xingdu saw many scratches on the wall, "Shuai Shuai, on the wall." The big buffalo he was holding restlessly wanted to escape, but Shen Xingdu held it casually without changing his expression. of a horn.
The big buffalo seemed to have been caught in its weakness and stood still with its head lowered, looking pitiful.
"It was left by the claws of animals." Zhen Shuai whispered, "The base was probably attacked by a tide of beasts." He was not surprised that something like this happened. Drought not only threatened the survivors, but also the animals. A huge threat, sooner or later they will target humans for more food and water.
It was rare for new faces to appear near the base. The guard at the door had already seen them, and his eyes kept drifting to the buffalo. This is just meat in their eyes. This buffalo was also affected by drought and did not look very strong, but it was a large animal after all, weighing at least eight or nine hundred pounds.
Zhen Shuai handed the rope tied around the buffalo's neck to a guard, "Can we go in?"
"Hand them all in?" The guard couldn't believe it.
Commander Zhen nodded and continued walking with Shen Xingdu.
In the base, there are many survivors with sallow faces and thin muscles. They are overwhelmed by the pressure of survival. They all have bitterness and hatred, and there is no smile on their faces. The soldiers passing by on patrol looked no better than them.
This base made Zhen Shuai feel like he was seeing an old man in his twilight years.
Wu Shangjun had left his address last time, so he and Shen Xingdu went directly to find it.
Wu Shangjun was resting in the dormitory at this time. He just came back from a mission last night, and now the mission is getting more and more difficult. He is so tired that he falls asleep in less than a second after falling on the bed.
When he heard a comrade say that someone was looking for him, he was stunned for a few seconds, jumped up from the wooden bed, grabbed his comrade by the collar, and was so excited that he spit out his saliva.
"Are they two handsome and energetic men?"
"Yes, yes, cough, cough, what are you doing?" The comrade was uncomfortable in his grip. Just as he was about to struggle, the other party let him go.
When he turned around, Wu Shangjun had already disappeared without a trace.
When Wu Shangjun saw Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing, it was like seeing his relatives, and his eyes filled with tears.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Shen, you are finally back!"
Zhen Shuai looked at him with some sympathy, "Brother Ang, Captain Wu, why are you so miserable?"
It has only been two weeks, and Wu Shangjun is so thin that his bones are almost poking. Outside the skin, the whole person looks more than ten years older.
Wu Shangjun was nearly ten years older than Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu. He realized that his reaction was a bit embarrassing. He rubbed his face and said with a bitter smile: "I made you laugh. I--oh, let's go and sit in my dormitory for a while." . I happen to be the only one in my dormitory today. The others won't be back until tomorrow."
Back in the dormitory, he asked Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu to sit for a while while he went to call Luo Nian and the others.
"There are no stools here. You can just sit on the bed. Don't mind it."
"It doesn't matter." Zhen Shuai said.
He lifted up the mattress on Wu Shangjun's bed and sat directly on the bed with Shen Xingdu.
Wu Shangjun quickly called Luo Nian and others over.
Zhen Shuai glanced around, a little strange, "Why don't you see Brother Yang and Brother He?" He knew that Luo Nian, Brother Yang and others were in a fixed team with Wu Shangjun. They went on missions together and came back together. But at this time, this team Two people are missing.
Luo Nian and others suppressed the smiles on their faces and lowered their heads.
Wu Shangjun wiped his face, his eyes were red, "Xiao Yang and Xiao He have gone. Just three days ago, the base was attacked by a large group of beasts. Xiao Yang and Xiao He did not escape this disaster. We are fast Brothers for ten years, who knew they would be like this, just like this..."
Zhen Shuai sighed softly, "My condolences."
Wu Shangjun reached into his pocket to touch the cigarette, remembering that he had smoked the last cigarette yesterday.
"Well, in today's world, it might be a good thing for them to leave like this. Maybe they went to enjoy happiness on the other side. It's great that you and Xiao Shen are both fine! I won't be afraid of you two laughing when I say it. I can see that someone can live happily Being so cool is also a comfort to us, proving that there is still hope in this world."
His words seemed optimistic, but in fact there was a hint of pessimism.
Luo Nian and the others felt uncomfortable.
"Captain..."
Shen Xingdu took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it over.
Wu Shangjun smiled gratefully at him and gave one to each person.
"Can you tell me what's going on at the base now?" Zhen Shuai directly stated his plan this time, "If I take over the base, I might have a way to keep everyone alive." "What!" Wu Shangjun,
Luo
Nian and others looked up at him in shock.
Zhen Shuai nodded, "I'm not joking."
Wu Shangjun's expression straightened, he was silent for a while, organizing his words in his mind, and then slowly said: "The current situation in the base is very bad, there is a shortage of food and water. Points. The tickets are no longer easy to use. The same points can't buy half of the supplies before. Everyone prefers to keep the food and water in their own hands. General Liu was seriously injured when the beast wave attacked last time. The base is now The leader is another general named Yao. General Yao's behavior is relatively conservative and he basically continues General Liu's management methods. The people below actually have quite a lot of opinions, but he has no food or water in his hands. Even if he wants to do something We can't do it either. So the situation at the base is getting worse and worse. Not to mention other people, I feel like we are just dawdling and living one day at a time." As he spoke, he paid attention to Zhen Shuai's expression. When he heard that there was a lack of food and
water At this time, the indifferent expression on Zhen Shuai's face did not change at all.
"What else? Has the research on the last explosion incident produced results?"
Zhen Shuai tapped the table. Wu Shangjun came back to his senses. For a moment, he was affected by his momentum. He straightened up unconsciously and sat upright. "The research has produced results. Experts believe that some unknown virus has mutated. This virus should be spread through the air and enter the human body, so ordinary people with poor health exploded. As for those mutated people who exploded, after investigation, it was found that without exception, they were before mutating They all have diseases, some are heart disease, some are cervical spondylosis, etc. The only good news is that experts have confirmed that antibodies to this virus have been formed in the human body, and they will no longer be affected by the virus in the future." Luo
Nianren He couldn't help but interjected: "Xiao Zhen, our captain tried to find the leader to promote the boxing techniques you taught in the army, but the people above did not agree. In fact, I think that boxing technique is really useful for smaller bodies. Mutated animal, I can blow it up with one punch."
Others echoed. They didn't say a word. They felt that if the promotion in the base had been successful, maybe so many people would not have died in the beast wave attack on the base. But again, no one paid attention to their ideas at all.
Zhen Shuai nodded, "I've noted this down. Angkor, can you see General Yao? I need to meet and talk to him. If he doesn't want to, you can tell him that I have a lot of food and water." , he will meet me."
Wu Shangjun had countless doubts in his heart, but he trusted Zhen Shuai. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it a try. Last time when the beasts attacked, I was lucky enough to save a regiment leader. I'll go first. It shouldn't be a problem to find him and beg him."
"I've put you in a difficult position." Zhen Shuai asked, "What do you think the captain lacks the most?"
"What is missing most?" Wu Shangjun frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Medicine! I remember that his daughter has asthma, and it is fatal when it attacks. He must be in need of asthma medicine!" Zhen Shuai smiled slightly, "That's easy to handle
. ."
He took out a large box of asthma medicine from his backpack. There were a total of twelve sprays in it, which was enough for the leader's daughter to use for a while.
"Tell him, I'll still have some here when they run out."
"I'm going now!" Wu Shangjun took the medicinal clothes, wrapped them, put on his hat, and left in a hurry.
Luo Nian and others looked at me, and I looked at you. Zhen Shuai looked like he was serious. They all looked at Zhen Shuai again, wanting to ask something, but they didn't know where to start.
Zhen Shuai laughed, "You don't have to think too much. From the beginning to the end, nothing I said was a joke. It will get better and better in the future." Luo Nian had more contact with Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, and the
others They all winked at him.
Luo Nian asked Zhen Shuai with a smile, "So is it true that there is a lot of food and water you said?"
Zhen Shuai cast a questioning look at Shen Xingdu. He will definitely need a lot of help in the future. Luo Nian and the others are pretty good and worth wooing.
Shen Xingdu understood what he meant and nodded slightly. He is not afraid of betrayal by Luo Nian and others. If anyone dares to betray Commander Zhen, he will die!
Zhen Shuai kept taking things out of his backpack, including mineral water, cola, juice, milk, biscuits, bread, apples... and soon they piled up a small mountain on Wu Shangjun's bed.
Luo Nian and others' eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Zhen Shuai's backpack is only so big, how can it possibly hold so many things?
Xiao Jiang was extremely curious and was about to ask when his sleeve was pulled by Xiao Jin who was sitting next to him.
Xiao Jiang understood, nodded to him solemnly, and made a zipper motion with his fingers near his lips.
None of their little moves escaped Zhen Shuai's eyes. Seeing that everyone's eyes were clear and they didn't dodge, he was extremely satisfied with them. As expected of a soldier, his quality is high.
He smiled and said: "Hurry up and hide these things, and eat slowly later."
Luo Nian and the others were all embarrassed, their faces turned red, you pushed me, I pushed you, no one took the lead. Take action.
The audience in the live broadcast room said that these soldiers are so cute.
Zhen Shuai had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and stuff everything into everyone's arms.
"Take it, there won't be such a good opportunity in the future. If you want to eat these things in the future, you have to use points to exchange for them."
Xiao Jiang immediately said loudly: "As long as there are such good things in the future, we will be happy to spend any number of points"
Others said in unison.
"Yes!"
Xiao Jin was relatively calm and suggested: "No one else in the captain's dormitory is here. Let's hide the things with the captain first, and then take them back and hide them little by little." It's not that we don't want to share them with other comrades, but if If they were seen taking so many good things back at once, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
