Survive

Chapter 99
As an otaku, before the apocalypse, Zheng Lei usually lived in seclusion, and always hid in the corner of the back row during class. Many people in the department didn't know him yet, let alone attract others' attention.

However, the current Zheng Lei is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside like stars arching the moon.

There must be some discomfort in my heart, but after all, I am still a person who is struggling among the zombies to make a living, and this kind of scene will not make me feel at a loss.

It's just the exhausted and bruised body, coupled with the strange expression shown because of enduring the pain in the body, it looks a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, you're so worried about me, Uncle!" Han Shu, who came over after receiving the news, squeezed out from the surrounding crowd, and hugged Zheng Lei's arm as soon as he went up.Liu Rongxin and others followed behind, all with excited faces.

Being pulled by her like this, Zheng Lei suddenly felt a pain in his body, and his face collapsed involuntarily, with an expression of about to cry.

"Uncle, don't be too moved, it's fine to be moved in general!" Seeing Zheng Lei's appearance of crying, Han Shu shook Zheng Lei's arm again.

"Hiss... you brat, let go of your hands and don't shake it!" Zheng Lei gasped suddenly, and a ball rolled on his face: "Brother, it hurts to death!"

"Ah?!" Han Shu quickly let go of Zheng Lei, with a worried expression on his face: "Uncle, are you seriously injured?"

"It's not far from death..." Zheng Lei hummed weakly.

Following Han Shu, Liu Rongxin and other evolutionists, Commander Kong also rushed over with his people, ran up to Zheng Lei, and looked up and down, with an expression of excitement on his face.

"Fortunately, the revenge of the counterattack soldiers has been avenged!" Zheng Lei took a deep breath, nodded to Commander Kong and said solemnly.

Commander Kong looked agitated, excitedly grabbed Zheng Lei's hands tightly, let go of them abruptly and took a step back, straightened his body, and gave a military salute.

The surrounding soldiers also followed Commander Kong, with sorrow and gratitude flashing alternately on their forbearing faces, they neatly raised their right hands to salute Zheng Lei.

Those are all their comrades in arms day and night!

The voices and smiles of the comrades-in-arms are still flashing in front of their eyes. The comrades-in-arms who were joking with each other before setting off together are now separated from each other. They can't even do how they disappeared, and they can't even avenge them. Almost impossible.

Now, Zheng Lei actually took revenge for their comrades-in-arms, how could they not be excited? !

The soldiers who saluted Zheng Lei couldn't help but look sad when they thought of their comrades who disappeared in that block with no bones left.

"Everyone!" A clear voice came from behind the crowd. Professor Cui did not know when he came. He walked to Commander Kong's side, glanced at the soldiers in front of him, and said in a solemn voice: "The strong man has gone, but the fellow soldiers Love lasts forever! Don’t act like a daughter again. For the rest of my life, we should inherit his aspirations and carry forward his spirit, so that he is worthy of the heroes and his comrades!”

Alas, Zheng Lei glanced at the soldiers with teary eyes, and sighed quietly, the most difficult thing is to let go of the friendship in battle!
"Worth living up to my comrades!"

Commander Kong suddenly clenched his fists and raised them high, shouting loudly.

"Live up to my comrades!" The soldiers raised their arms along with Commander Kong and shouted tearfully.

"Worth living up to my comrades!!"

"Worth living up to my comrades!!!"

After the three beeps stopped, the camp was suddenly silent, the soldiers bit their lips tightly and stared wide-eyed.

Comrades with no bones left, in the camp surrounded by zombies, we cannot fire guns to see you off, and we will guide you in the direction of the barracks with three calls.
Suddenly, a deep and suppressed chilling voice suddenly resounded in the silent military camp.

"Forward! Forward! Forward!..." Zheng Lei heard the sound and looked over. Professor Cui's eyes were red, and he sang in a low voice: "Our team is facing the sun..."

"Standing on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation..." Commander Kong, with tears in his eyes, began to sing along with that voice: "We are an invincible force..."

The deep and hoarse voice echoed around, and the survivors all bowed their heads in silence. The sadness on the faces of the soldiers gradually faded away, replaced by sternness and determination.They raised their right arms in salute and began to sing along: "We are the children of workers and peasants, we are the armed forces of the people, never fear, never give in, and fight bravely..."

Zheng Lei felt extremely bored in his heart, as if he could break through the depression in his heart only by letting out a long howl. Amidst the unattractive, hoarse and low voices mixed with a few extremely suppressed choked voices, the air above the camp suddenly lingered. There was a sense of chill and tragedy.

In times of peace, some people once said they were domineering, some said they were reckless, some once looked down on them and thought they were just a bunch of rough hooligans.

But at this moment, Zheng Lei only felt that if the country was in trouble, they would be the first and most solid line of defense!
Perhaps it is this belief that allows them to stand in front of the survivors with the same ordinary flesh and blood!

Zheng Lei stared blankly at the soldiers singing military songs in a low voice, and suddenly felt that, in fact, this country, this society, and these people may not be as dark and hopeless as he thought.

Political Commissar Tian, ​​the Chief of Staff, and Brigadier Zhou also came. They stood in front of the team and sang the military song. After a moment of silence, Political Commissar Tian said, "Comrades, this is a war! Where is the war?" There will be no casualties! We are soldiers, and soldiers should be proud of the shroud of horse leather! Do you still remember the poem Commander Kong told you when we set out from the barracks to rescue survivors and destroy zombies?!"

"Sacrifice your life to go to the country!..." A uniform voice sounded, although there were only so many soldiers, but the deafening voice was as majestic as a thousand troops, and finally Zheng Lei and the others could no longer hold back their chests. In the turmoil, he yelled out the next sentence with the soldiers: "Watch death as soon as home!"

……

Inside the command post, Zheng Lei still couldn't calm down for a long time. The soldiers all returned to their respective posts, and the survivors also dispersed.

Those who remained in the command post, besides Zheng Lei's teammates, were Jiao Haihao and Air Conditioner and several other evolutionists, as well as the policewoman and Luo Zhenguo who came with Han Shu and others, as well as the patrol team. Among them are Zhang Dong, Song Zihao and Li Guozhen, and the other is Professor Cui.

Zheng Lei looked around silently. It seems that there are only a few people in this camp who can make Zheng Lei his own in the future.

"Let's rest first!" Commander Kong said: "I think you seem to be a little bit exhausted, let's talk about it after you have rested!"

It's not just a little bit out of strength!Zheng Lei smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it first, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I rest."

Looking at the few survivors who stayed there without any intention of leaving and seemed to be waiting for Zheng Lei to leave together, and then glanced at Zheng Lei who had no intention of letting them leave first, Commander Kong sighed in his heart, Forget it, since everyone knows the matter, there is no need to hide it.

Commander Kong then nodded, and asked Zheng Lei and the others to sit down. Zheng Lei was also eager to settle the matter so that he could go back to rest, so he stopped talking about other things. All the information about the strange things was told to Commander Kong in detail.Of course, Xia Luoli and the specific battle plot were hidden, and he said that he had no fighting power after killing the monster at that time. He was worried that the nearby zombies would pass by and hid, but he passed out in a coma. It took him three days to wake up, and he was barely able to hold his body back to the barracks.

"You mean, the core of that monster is a human head?" Commander Kong looked at Zheng Lei in surprise: "Then it is some kind of mutated zombie?"

Zheng Lei shook his head. He can be sure of this. That thing is definitely not a zombie, because no matter whether it is higher than Xia Luoli or not, as long as it is a zombie species, Xia Luoli will be able to sense it, but That thing, Xia Luoli has made it clear that it is not her own kind.

So Zheng Lei said: "Probably not, I didn't find any breath or feeling of zombies on it - you know, for evolutionaries, zombies will have a specific feeling, which can make evolutionists perceive some breaths - But that stuff completely makes me feel like a zombie."

Commander Kong nodded, raised his hand to caress his chin, and said, "According to your description, it is even more impossible to be something like a mutant creature... What is that? Another brand new mutant species?"

"I don't know, I've never seen such a thing before." Zheng Lei said.

But Commander Kong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Since you have killed that monster, the area should be safe now, right?"

Zheng Lei nodded and replied: "It should be safe now. There were no zombies in that area, only that monster. Now that monster is dead, there is no threat."

Commander Kong nodded and said, "You said just now that you nailed the monster's core to the ground with a Tang knife, and then hid... The core should still be there, right?"

"En?" Zheng Lei narrowed his eyes, and immediately guessed Commander Kong's strength, looked at Commander Kong and said, "Are you going to get the core back for research?"

Commander Kong nodded and replied: "At the beginning of the doomsday over there in Lao Zhou, helicopters were used to carry out several emergency rescue missions. The rescue targets were all scientific research workers, and they have not been transferred to the rear. I think, since the monster has already Killed by you, why don't you give it to Lao Zhou to take it back and study it to see what it is. If it is really a brand new mutant species, we should get to know it as soon as possible and make preparations."

Zheng Lei hesitated a little, and said: "I killed it at the time, but I didn't know... I think there is still a lot of risk in bringing that core back, in case it will be infected, or parasitic resurrection and so on ...Whether it's our camp or Brigadier Zhou's camp, isn't it dangerous!"

"That's what you said..." Commander Kong nodded: "Oh, it's already troublesome enough, if another monster appears, the situation for human beings will be even more... Sigh!"

Yes, I am also very curious about what that kind of thing is!
Zheng Lei frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we? Let's go and see the situation together. If the situation permits, let Brigadier Zhou's people take it away for research! But, what, the camp Is there that chemical protective suit inside? We don’t care, but I think it’s better for ordinary people to be protected when they get close to that thing!”

"Yes!" Commander Kong nodded: "Then I'll inform Lao Zhou and let his people prepare. It's just... I have to work hard on you again!"

"It should." Zheng Lei shook his head.
