After his wife passed away, the base commander was never able to forgive himself.
It was because he failed to protect his son that his wife harbored such resentment, and she never saw her son again until her death.
He couldn't accept his wife's departure.
They settled the lady in the basement and would come to talk to her every day, telling her about the progress of finding their son, as if she were still alive.
He even thought that one day he could bring his son to see her, so that she could rest in peace.
The son has come several times already, and I suppose the wife has seen that he has grown into an outstanding person.
I wonder if she'll feel any more at ease.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the base commander has had a bold idea in his mind.
Looking at those walking corpses, he wondered, if zombies can exist in this world, why can't his wife open her eyes again?
Wang Ge's appearance made his mind even more active.
Sometimes, he wanted to abandon everything and simply agree with Wang Ge's opinion to bring his wife back to "life".
But as the base commander, he also truly understood what zombies were.
Zombies are just rotting flesh; their minds are filled only with bloodlust and rage. The base chief has killed countless zombies, and every time he sees them, all he ever does is watch their rotting internal organs.
It was black, and exuded a strong smell of decay.
The existence of the Zombie King made the base commander think that it would be great if he could turn his wife into the Zombie King.
Leng Yebai and his in-laws all have the potential to attract zombie kings, and the base commander has also had the opportunity to come into contact with quite a few zombie kings.
He admitted that the zombie king was indeed much cuter than the other zombies; at least they didn't have a decaying appearance and were better able to control their emotions.
Sometimes, I even think those zombie kings look kind of cute.
But is it really cute?
That Fan Tangtang is adorable, but he is a flesh-devourer, and his mind is filled with endless bloodlust and violent impulses.
Little Blue Zombie, Song Hongfei's daughter. Reuniting with a deceased daughter is both lucky and unlucky.
She still looks the same as before, but she is no longer the Song family's little princess who could act cute and charming.
The base commander understood perfectly well that becoming a zombie king would bring far more troubles than humans.
Often, what people see is only a portion of the advantages; beneath the surface, countless disadvantages await further investigation.
The zombie king may seem to have endless life, but isn't it also endless torment and suffering?
The base commander admitted that he couldn't bear to see his wife like this.
Burial and peace should have been accomplished twenty years ago.
He was too greedy.
He should let go.
Even if you can't let go, you must accept the fact that your wife has passed away.
He also understood that his son hoped he wouldn't be too attached to things, because what's lost can never be regained.
All he could do was ensure that he would never forget her, as long as she remained in his heart, even if she was always by his side.
Inside the blurry ice coffin, a figure lay there silently, offering no response to the base commander's words.
Just like the past twenty years.
The base commander touched the ice coffin, finally turned and left. Sand got into his weathered eyes, and he couldn't help but shed two streams of tears.
When the base commander came out, it was already dawn.
As soon as he stepped out of the villa, he saw his son standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him.
"What's up?"
The base commander didn't look at Leng Yebai, perhaps because he was afraid Leng Yebai would see his slightly reddened eyes, or perhaps because he couldn't bear to look at Leng Yebai's eyes, which were so similar to his wife's.
My son looks just like me, like we were made from the same mold.
Only those eyes resembled the lady's most; they were extremely beautiful.
Leng Yebai glanced at the direction behind the base commander and spoke.
"The alliance has too many things to do, and we're also busy organizing the construction of the city walls. I'd like to ask you for a favor."
The so-called city wall is the new "Great Wall".
In ancient times, the First Emperor built the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies.
Today, it's to give humanity peace of mind.
This time, the scale is even larger than the Great Wall, and it is a place that even people with superpowers cannot cross.
It will be simultaneously forged by both zombies and human beings with metal and earth elemental abilities, creating an insurmountable chasm between the human safe zone and the zombie safe zone.
"What is it?"
The base commander had heard about the construction of the city wall and thought it was a good idea.
At the very least, the human survivors will feel at ease, and the human safe zone and the zombie safe zone will become two completely different worlds.
One life, one death.
"I'm too busy to accompany Xiaozhu to take this guy back to the zoo near the Fire Phoenix Safe Base, so..."
Leng Yebai pointed behind him, and the base chief saw the mutated panda crunching away at its skirt.
The mutated panda never returned, not because it couldn't find its way back, but because it couldn't drive a truck and couldn't take a load of bamboo shoots with it.
They just stayed here, eating and drinking ramie, and even sleeping on the bus.
That's not all; it even competes with Leng Yebai for his affections, letting Xiao Zhu pet it every day...
Leng Yebai couldn't stand it any longer and decided to send him away!
"Oh, that's fine. I'll accompany my in-laws to take it back tomorrow."
The base commander nodded in agreement.
They could also get free food and drinks along the way, and it felt great to be with their in-laws. The base manager had long wanted to hop on a bus and take a spontaneous trip.
