stop fighting

Chapter 38

There was always a slight smile on the corner of Wei Junting's mouth, but the smile was far from reaching his eyes, and he just looked at Lu Ze like that.

On the surface, this group of infected people seems to be a weak party, without a complete management system, no fixed residence, and no other place to accept them except the old city.They can only live in the most polluted place, where all supplies are scarce, and they even survive today without knowing what will happen tomorrow.

But as Wei Junting said, they not only survived, but also developed step by step.As for whether they will be strong enough to fight against the base one day in the future, no one dares to jump to conclusions.

Lu Ze suddenly understood why Ling Qian asked him to meet Wei Junting.Such a person, unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to be an enemy.

"I don't represent anyone except myself." Lu Ze said.

Wei Junting was slightly taller than him, and he had to lift his chin slightly to look directly into the man's eyes.

Hearing this answer, Wei Junting's eyes quickly flashed a look of admiration. He took a step back and pointed to the chair: "In this case, I can treat you as a respectable guest. Sit down, Captain Lu .”

Lu Ze's eyes flashed: "Because I didn't give the order to shoot at that time?"

Wei Junting shook his head and said sternly: "You still respected our rights as 'human beings' under the circumstances at that time, and you were willing to give us a space for equal dialogue. Based on this alone, I think you deserve this respect."

outside the tent.

Because Wei Junting didn't say to restrict their freedom, naturally no one cared about what Ling Qian and Chen Xinshou were doing outside their boss's tent, but occasionally passing patrol soldiers would look at them with some guarded eyes .

It's been a while since Lu Ze went in. I don't know if they can lower their voices, so that they can't hear any movement inside.Coupled with the invisible gazes cast from all directions, even Chen Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, the two of them are not impulsive people. Even if they really can't get together, they won't do anything." Ling Qian's voice came from the side.

Chen Xin was stunned for a second before realizing that this person was talking to him.For a moment, he didn't know what to answer, so he glanced at Ling Qian with some confusion.

At first, he didn't really believe this person. Although it seemed that this person had helped them more than once, he always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of disobedience in this person.He is not as good at disguising as Lu Ze, but he simply feels that he has to be reserved.

Out of his trust and obedience to Lu Ze, he kept all his doubts in his heart, but paid more attention to some details of Ling Qian that were not easily noticed by others.All the way up to now, he felt that he could not see the person in front of him clearly.

"Chen Xin, have you thought about your future plans?" Ling Qian didn't seem to care about his silence, and continued.

Chen Xin was startled, realizing that he was referring to infection.

He showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "Occasionally I think about it, but it's useless to think about it. I can only say that I should go the way I should go now. I probably won't be able to go back to the base, and I haven't thought about the future. .”

Ling Qian didn't speak, but looked at him with some scrutiny.

"The base does not allow any infected people. When we returned from missions before, the process of disinfection and inspection took almost three rounds. They couldn't pass through the door until they were [-]% sure that there was no problem. .”

"Would you feel regretful...or unwilling?" Ling Qian's voice was a little low.

Chen Xin smiled: "There will be regrets. As for being unwilling... what can I do if I am unwilling? I can't harm other people just for myself." He paused, as if thinking of something , his eyes became a little sad: "And I also know that the current situation of my body is only temporary, and it is not guaranteed that I will lose consciousness and become a living corpse that day. Before that, if I can complete this mission When it's done, there's nothing left."

His tone was a little relaxed, as if he was saying something that couldn't be more natural.

"Do you... believe Lu Ze?"

Chen Xin glanced at Ling Qian, and seemed a little surprised by this question: "I trust the captain, no matter from any level."

Ling Qian looked away from him and didn't say anything more.

After a while, the curtain of the tent next to the two was lifted, and Lu Ze walked out.

There was no expression on his face, and his voice was a little weak: "Let's go."

Chen Xin followed up: "Captain, that person didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Lu Ze shook his head, glanced back at Ling Qian behind him, and said in a meaningful voice, "No, he is a very good leader."

The corners of Ling Qian's lips twitched slightly, and he looked in another direction of the camp: "Lindsay should already be waiting for us."

As soon as they walked out of this area, Miu Miao ran towards them.She pulled the corner of Ling Qian's clothes and pointed in a certain direction, making several gestures.

Ling Qian rubbed her head: "Understood, we'll go there now."

Miao Miao let go of her hand and did not go with them.

However, Chen Xin just took two steps forward, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked back to the little girl, took out an old pink bow from his arms, and handed it out clumsily: "Here, This is for you."

Not only Ling Qian, but Lu Ze was a little surprised.

Chen Xin's ears turned slightly red, and he explained: "I picked this up on the side of the road by accident, it has been washed, and it is also in Ling... Ghost has been sterilized, so there shouldn't be any problems. "

The expression on Miao Miao's face was a little hesitant at first, but in the end it was no match for the little girl's beauty-loving nature. She blinked her eyes at Chen Xin, and poked her head forward.

There was a smile in Ling Qian's voice: "She asked you to help her put it on."

Chen Xin seemed a little flattered. He stroked the curly hair on top of Miao Miao's head clumsily, gathered them into a short ponytail, and tied it with the ribbon on the bow.

"All right."

"It's so pretty, Miao Miao, this bow is very suitable for you." Ling Qian clapped his hands lightly.

The little girl first carefully touched the bow on the top of her head, then turned around in a circle in joy, hit Chen Xin with her head and hugged his waist, loosened the loop after a few seconds, and bounced to the other side. The direction ran away.

Chen Xin touched his nose, looking a little at a loss.

Ling Qian still had a slight smile in his eyes: "Let's go."

Lu Ze patted Chen Xin on the shoulder, coughed, and walked away behind Ling Qian.

Because the weather has been fine these few days, the people under them have started post-disaster reconstruction one after another. The place Lindsay chose was in a dilapidated small building near the edge of the camp. It's just that the front wall is still a little broken, and it looks a little desolate.

Lindsay was standing at the door waiting for them, and saw three people approaching from a distance, she took a step forward, didn't look at Ling Qian, but said directly to Lu Ze: "I won't go around, why do you want to see each other?" I know him too. I don't care about your ins and outs, I only ask for one thing: if he doesn't want to leave, you can't take him away by force."

Lu Ze nodded solemnly.

Lindsay tilted her head toward the inside of the room to indicate that they were inside, then turned and left.

Lu Ze stood there for a few seconds, feeling his footsteps were a bit heavy for a while, until a somewhat familiar hoarse voice came from inside: "Captain Lu, Chen Xin, long time no see."

Lu Ze raised his foot and walked in slowly, Chen Xin followed closely behind him, Ling Qian took a few steps back wisely and stood at the door.

Standing in the shadow was a figure they had seen several times before, but this time he held the mask of the glaring Arhat in his hand.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Lu Ze: "I didn't expect to see you again."

Lu Ze's eyes fell on his face, his pupils constricted imperceptibly for a moment, and then there was a layer of pain.

Zheng Guanxing's face - if it can be called a face, apart from the eyes and ears can be seen, the nose and mouth can hardly distinguish the original appearance, even the thickest tattoos can't cover up those hideous scars.Half of his left ear is missing, and there are four scars on his neck that have faded now. From the remaining traces, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy of the wounds.

Only his eyes were still amazingly bright.

"How come..." Chen Xin's eyes turned red the moment he saw him clearly, and he spoke hoarsely.

Zheng Guanxing smiled lightly: "No matter what, I finally survived. Compared with other comrades in arms, I am already very lucky."

"What happened when you came in? How did you get hurt like this?" Lu Ze said in a deep voice.

Zheng Guanxing showed a wry smile on his face: "I didn't think about it at the time, but after I survived, I went through the whole thing from beginning to end, and I always felt that we were ambushed.

"There were three teams in the first batch, and I was assigned to the second team. After confirming the contaminated radiation area near the old city, the captain ordered to camp in place, and sent the first team into the city to scout the situation.

"Because I don't know the situation in the urban area and the protective equipment is limited, the captain's order is to only conduct reconnaissance on the periphery, and it is strictly forbidden to enter the main urban area without authorization. However, half a day after the first team set off, the radio communication was interrupted without warning.

"At that time, the third team was mainly for technical support. Each of us was equipped with a GPS infrared positioning device. If we followed the range that the captain delineated in advance, they would not be able to go to the place where the signal failed anyway. But the strange thing is that , At the same time that the radio communication was disconnected, the positioning points of the four of them also disappeared on the terminal, and the last place they appeared was in the west of the main city.

"I have always wondered if there is anything that can subdue four well-trained special forces in an instant, without even giving them time to send a distress signal."
