Either choice comes at a price.
If you choose comfort, you must be prepared to become weaker.
If you choose opportunity, you must be prepared for the possibility of death.
Not every choice is bad, nor is every choice good. In any era, any matter has countless possible outcomes.
Faced with the current situation, the first experimental team consisting of fifty people stood in front of everyone, mustered up the courage to cut off their own arms, picked up the crystal in their hands and swallowed it.
The sun was shining fiercely overhead.
The dazzling light almost melted human skin. This early autumn was hotter than summer, bringing a wind that threatened to melt the living. The autumn vegetables, like emerald green gems in the shimmering sunlight, remained radiant and unaffected by the heat.
If it were yesterday, someone would have taken advantage of the team's rest time to quickly pick these vegetables.
If they were to walk to Huacheng like this, they didn't know what they would encounter and the food they brought with them was not enough for them to eat. On this dangerous journey, the most difficult thing was no longer the zombies, but the food.
In the first two or three days, some people thought food was unimportant. But after five days, everyone understood how important food was. It was more important than industry, technology, and medicine.
Oil had become almost a luxury for them. They didn't have the time to find it, nor the means to cook delicious meals. Steamed buns had become a rare treat in the marching procession.
Struggling to make ends meet every day, they finally realized how important the hybrid rice developed by Academician Yuan Longping was in improving grain crops.
Is it important?
It's so important that they will never forget it in their lifetime.
Do you regret it?
regret!
Whenever I think of all the food I wasted at the dinner table back then, I feel like dying. Back then, public service announcements were constantly promoting the "Clean Plate" campaign, but none of them were as instructive as this experience.
"If they become stronger and have superpowers, will they be able to kill a lot of zombies?" Everyone in the team was observing the fifty people in front of them curiously.
It took a lot of determination on the part of Captain Yang to have these fifty people try to eat the crystals in front of everyone. He was even more anxious than the people underground.
However, when he thought of those soldier dolls, he felt sad.
This time, during the food tasting, he gave everyone a choice, not just the crowd, but also his soldiers. This time, he didn't treat it as a task to be completed by someone.
He was anxious to know whether these crystals could bring superpowers, but he was even more afraid that eating these things dug out from the bodies of zombies would turn people into zombies directly.
So, he didn't speak.
He couldn't bear to see the seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldiers under his command turn into zombies just to verify this experiment.
However, those children were even more outstanding than he had imagined.
From the very beginning, so many people stood up immediately. If those nine people had not run faster, all the experimental subjects of this experiment would have been those soldiers.
"Captain, this is for you. If I turn into a zombie, remember to use a knife and don't waste bullets." Tiedan, who always had a smile on his face, handed him a piece of paper.
"Captain, me too." Dashan also came over and handed over the suicide note he had already written.
Every smile shown in front of him is so innocent.
They are not only good soldiers of the country, but also little heroes in his heart. These children have already exceeded his expectations.
They are all heroes.
Watching those children standing there one by one, after eating the crystals, they sat down and waited for the effects to appear.
As time passed, the people standing in front of the child became more and more nervous.
"How is it? Any changes?"
The people below looked anxiously at the fifty people in front. They wanted to know whether those people would develop superpowers or really turn into zombies.
They are definitely looking forward to the former, but they believe in the latter more. After all, they believe in science, and those mysterious things are better left to contemplation.
Therefore, many people stayed away from the fifty people, fearing that they would really turn into zombies and pounce on them, and they would become the fish in the pond that were affected.
"I don't know. But look at their expressions, they don't seem to have changed much, and it doesn't look like they have turned into zombies." The person with good eyesight looked carefully at the people standing in front and told the person next to him what he saw.
"How do you know he hasn't turned into a zombie? He might become one in a moment." Someone else said unconvinced.
"No." The person who started the conversation immediately shook his head in denial. "You forgot that those infected people turned into zombies in just two or three minutes. It's been over ten minutes, so they shouldn't have turned into zombies."
"Look, someone is moving." A man pointed at the person standing in front.
Among the fifty people in front, the oldest one raised his head and looked at the palm of his hand.
He ate the crystal with the determination to die. His wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all died in this disaster. Now he is an old widower with no one to rely on.
I originally followed the large group out of Lincheng, but I spent the whole day in a daze.
Ever since I heard Captain Yang talk about this experiment, I was the first one to step forward and sign up.
He knew that if he went to kill zombies, he wouldn't have much ability to kill more than a few zombies, and there was no point in living. Instead of living in a daze, it would be better to shine once more.
