Chapter 14 My Ex-wife
At the kitchen door, the door leading to the auditorium, there were three men holding pots and pans in their hands, guarding the door closely, fearing that if they were not vigilant, the "brothers" in the auditorium would rush in.
Among the three men in camouflage uniforms, one of them was a handsome soldier who looked to be no more than 20 years old. His name was Liu Xiaojue, and he was a new recruit in this team. At this moment, Liu Xiaojue had blood on his face and was holding a kitchen knife in his hand. He walked up to Zhan Lian, lowered his head, and asked helplessly and frustratedly:
"Brother Lian, who are you calling?"
"My ex-wife!"
He replied with these three words very briefly, then picked up the phone and called An Ran again. This time, he was greeted with a series of short busy tones.
Liu Xiaojue started crying. He was a big man, but his crying sounded like a bear’s howling. He said softly, “I, I also called my girlfriend and my mom, but they didn’t answer!~~~”
Another man, about 30 years old, about the same age as Zhan Lian, who looked like an instructor, was named Luo Feifan, and wore a pair of glasses. Hearing this, he stood by the door with a frown on his face, somewhat disapproving of Zhan Lian and Liu Xiaojue's desertion at this time.
"A Lian, stop hitting me. An Ran might have already..."
“No!” Zhan Lian raised his head abruptly, his sharp features showing a murderous look. He emphasized, “She just called me. If she had turned into a zombie, she wouldn’t have called me!”
In the military camps in the northwest, a large number of soldiers have been suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and lack of energy since last night. However, Zhan Lian was discharged from the army last night, and Luo Feifan organized a farewell party for him. Although everyone felt a little unwell, they still came as they should.
Because most of them were unwell, the farewell party was held in a joyous atmosphere, but in fact there was not much joyful atmosphere. Of course, Zhan Lian was a good man, no matter he was discharged today or not, he could sense it as long as there was a slight weird and uneasy feeling in the air.
It's just that the change came too suddenly. All those present were his teammates who he saw day and night. The relationship between them was not like that of brothers and sisters, but it was closer than that of brothers and sisters. What he never expected was that after a thunderstorm, his teammates would start eating each other.
He could no longer remember who the first man-eater was. Zhan Lian went out with Luo Feifan to discuss something about Zhan Lian's work arrangements after his retirement. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this when he came back. The mutation came too quickly. He and Luo Feifan reacted quickly and protected themselves and several teammates who had not mutated from last night's hell on earth. In the end, they didn't dare to kill these former comrades because of their old friendship. What if one day these comrades could be cured?
So he could only retreat into the kitchen, and now he is still in a daze.
But a day passed, and the situation that usually the whole district would know about any disturbance in any team did not happen today. Zhan Lian and his few companions waited in the kitchen for a whole day, but no rescue came.
So Zhan Lian and his team had to consider other things. For example, the scope of the disease was not limited to their team, but might it have spread to the entire military region? Or perhaps, the entire great country of China?
If everyone in the world is sick, is An Ran okay? Are their family and friends okay?
