Survive

Chapter 101 Conscription
The first phase of the counterattack ended after Zheng Lei put an end to the mysterious monster. The recovered area was only a few blocks, but the survivors in the camp were still cheering and excited—it was after all since the end of the world. For the first time since the crisis, the humans in Makino City have won the victory from the zombies!

The streets in the recovered area were separated by some fortifications from the area where zombies wandered. Soldiers were stationed in the real estate on both sides to prevent zombies from crossing the cordon.

There are still a lot of things to do. Thoroughly clean up the recovered area, expand the original outer defense line, consolidate the newly recaptured blocks, and then gradually transfer the survivors to make those blocks gradually become the territory of the camp...

Fighting since the end of the world, the number of soldiers in the army has been continuously lost. When the crisis broke out, many troops were lost. After that, many soldiers were sacrificed in repeated battles. A few days ago, they were swallowed up by the mysterious monster. Hundreds of soldiers, now The soldiers in the camp, after the troops stationed in the newly recovered neighborhoods, were seriously insufficient.

So Zheng Lei, who took advantage of the cloudy weather and no sun to go out for a walk, saw a rare event in the camp.

The crowded, shoulder-to-shoulder crowd is an amazing sight in the zombie-infested apocalypse.

In the direction where the crowd gathered, there was a table with a big red paper spread on it. Two teams of soldiers were lined up on both sides of the table, fully armed, standing upright and full of energy.

Staff Officer Xing pinched a pen and was writing down the names of people on the big red paper continuously at the desk. After the names were written down, the survivors stood aside, some were elated, and some were expressionless.

Zheng Lei knew at a glance that this was the army's recruiting.

There are so many survivors scrambling to join the army, which is not difficult to understand. Although they will be sent to perform missions after joining the army, it is more dangerous than being a survivor in a camp, but high risks will also bring high risks. In return, after joining the army and becoming a soldier, you can have more powerful weapons, and the most important thing is to get more resources, so that you or your relatives can live better in the camp, without worrying about cutting off living supplies and being bullied.

Moreover, there will never be only one person when going out to perform tasks, right? If someone is with you, you will be much more courageous.Besides, even if he died outside, he could at least become a martyr, in exchange for the military's provision and care for his family members in the future.

For the men in the camp, joining the army and becoming a soldier is probably the best choice.Not to mention the current time when the standards for enlistment are almost lowered to the minimum.

Zheng Lei saw Professor Cui's figure outside the crowd, and walked towards Professor Cui, but seeing Professor Cui's expression of gratitude, Zheng Lei could only feel that the literati feelings in Professor Cui's bones had been aroused again, so he didn't bother, just stood to his side.

Professor Cui raised his hand and twirled his beard for a while, and shook his head and sighed for a while. After feeling for a long time, he suddenly showed a look of resentment, winked like a sorrel, and choked out a sentence: "Hmph! If the old man is ten years younger, You must be no worse than these juniors! You must also hold a knife and a gun, ride a horse and raise a whip, and donate your flesh and blood for the survival of my Huaxia ethnic group!"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:
Professor Cui glanced to the side, saw that Zheng Lei's face was blushing, and immediately rolled his eyes, and said, "Laugh if you want to, I just look at these young people's passionate faces. It’s all about emotion, time is not forgiving..."

As he spoke, Professor Cui shook his head and sighed again.

"No, no..." Zheng Lei waved his hands again and again, while waving his hands, he said, "Why should Professor Cui compare with them? Professor Cui has a big responsibility, which is related to a century-old plan. His realm is several blocks away from them, so there is no need to envy them at all!"

"En?" Professor Cui looked up at Zheng Lei, his expression moved, and said: "Yes! I have other important responsibilities. Well, I was going to talk to Commander Kong about this matter. This time the mysterious monster appeared. , making the old man even more imminent, we must arrive at the destination as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he said to Zheng Lei, "You can do what you want", then turned around and hurriedly strode towards the command post.

Uh……

Zheng Lei shook his head helplessly and smiled to see Professor Cui's slightly hunched back, and followed slowly - he was going to find Commander Kong to find out if there was any news about the head core.

Just as he was about to go to the command post, screams erupted not far from the crowd. Zheng Lei hurriedly looked up, but saw two pickup trucks approaching one by one and stopped in the middle of the crowd.The surrounding survivors all stared at the two pickup trucks with a stupefied look, with some panic and resentment in their astonished expressions, which made Zheng Lei very curious.

Zheng Lei can't walk fast now, and if he walks fast, he will feel sore and numb like bones falling apart, so he can only move slowly to the side, stepping his feet slightly to the side and looking over the crowd.

Behind the two pickups stood an iron cage as tall as a person. Inside the cage, a zombie was imprisoned. When it saw the crowd around it, it roared violently and rushed to the side of the cage. The arms stretched out of the cage, scratching and waving, and the survivors around the car were so scared that they couldn't help but quickly took a few steps back.

Standing next to each of the two iron cages was a man standing tall in the sight of the crowd of survivors under the car, with a smug smile, his jaw raised and he kept waving and nodding to the surrounding survivors. I made myself look like Long Aotian who was on stage to accept the worship of everyone, but it was Liu Rongxin and Jiao Haihao!

That high-spirited look looks like two teasers!

Fuck!When did these two teasers go out?He also captured two zombies alive... Fuck, it's not a female zombie with a big body and no clothes, so if you catch it back, you'll be gay? !

However, seeing Liu Rongxin and Jiao Haihao attracted the attention of the crowd, they became even more ostentatious. One by one, they lifted the two iron cages over their heads, no matter how much the zombies inside struggled, they couldn't help them.The two jumped out of the back of the pickup truck holding the iron cage one after the other, and the surrounding crowd immediately retreated.

Holding the iron cages, the two walked up to the group of people whose names were written down by Staff Officer Xing and stood aside, and put the two iron cages in front of them with two "bangs".

The zombies in the cage immediately stretched out their arms and clawed at the group of people, and the group of survivors quickly retreated, but they were blocked by a group of soldiers behind them, so they could only stand where they were, watching in horror. Looking at the two zombies.

However, there were quite a few people who were quite calm, still standing in their positions, staring at the zombies indifferently.

A non-commissioned officer walked up to the group of survivors, looked at them coldly, and said, "I call two names each time, and the person whose name is called steps forward."

Immediately, two names were called.

Two people in the survivor team were taken aback for a moment, and it seemed that they were the two of them.

After a little hesitation, a man of a slightly older grade came forward and was dragged by a soldier to stand in front of one of the cages, just an inch away from the zombie's arm protruding from the cage.

"Put your chest up! Hold your head up! Pull your stomach in and stand up straight!" The sergeant who called the roll shouted in his ear, "Look carefully!"

The man was standing very close to the cage, and several times he was almost scratched by the zombies on his cheeks. His face was unavoidably pale and his expression was a little flustered, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on standing there.

The zombie was waving its arms and roaring violently. You could see the rotting flesh sticking between his teeth, and the black rotting internal organs protruding from the rotting chest, accompanied by a disgusting smell of corpse. It made the survivor's stomach tumbling and almost vomited.

Seeing this, the other slow-moving survivor trembled even more, hiding in the crowd and unwilling to come out and stand in front of the cage.

The sergeant glanced contemptuously at the survivor who was huddled in the crowd, and then winked at the soldier beside him. The two soldiers next to him strode over and grabbed his arm each, and dragged him out of the line. , Then the sergeant bowed his head and crossed out his name on the notebook in his hand.

"This is just the first test of recruit training!" The sergeant shouted loudly to those people: "It's too late to give up and quit!"

Those survivors look at me, I look at you, with the lessons learned from the person who was dragged away just now, they dare not show their panic at this moment, they keep taking deep breaths, trying to calm themselves, so that they can It doesn't look so flustered.

After all, they had never been so close to a zombie face to face!
The survivors who were signing up also understood what was waiting for them. Some of them hesitated, but some still insisted on signing up, and then they were taken to the other side to stand, and a soldier began to confirm their names again. The name was recorded in the same notebook. It seemed that the survivors over there had finished their turns and it was their turn.

Zheng Lei was in the crowd, so he naturally heard some whispers around him, such as "how dangerous this is", "how dare you bring the zombies into the camp", "what if the zombies come out and bite people", etc. He felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this. After all, the army is no better than survivors. After joining the army, they need to go outside to perform tasks. If they don't have the courage to face zombies, how can they be qualified for the tasks of the army!

What's more, with Liu Rongxin and Jiao Haihao present, with their abilities, even if something unexpected happens, it can be ruled out immediately.

In this way, there is not much to worry about.

Zheng Lei thought so, and continued to move slowly towards the command post.
