Chapter 440 Lively
If the East is dark, the West will be bright. He is just like the fool he is.
This was the first thought that came to Bai Zuo's mind as he lay in his brother's arms, leaning back with his entire little face exposed to the bright sun.
Bro, you hurt me so badly...
Bai You's body was also stiff, and he wanted to freeze his head.
"You guys are still so, um... lively."
Xia Yan supported her chin with her hand, a smile on her lips, and her eyes curved into a bright arc. She seemed to be in a good mood.
"Zuo, you..." The woman named Xiaohong got up from the ground, roughly brushed off the dirty stuff on her palms, and ran over to the two of them, "Do you know each other?"
She kept raising and lowering her head, and Xia Yan noticed that she had a pair of beautiful golden eyes.
Bai You woke up as if from a dream, released his hands that were clamped around Bai Zuo's collar, put on his gloves again, picked up the shovel and went to work aside.
The little figure is filled with helplessness as she lets them go.
This time it was Bai Zuo's turn to hold his neck and cough, and Xiaohong patted his back to help him breathe.
She patted him and whispered, "What's your relationship with her? Did she recognize you as her brothers? I feel like she treats you differently. Brothers, when you become successful, remember to help your sister."
Bai Zuo: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful or she might beat you up too."
Xiaohong felt the body trembling under her palm and frowned, "Is it really okay?"
Bai Zuo shook his shoulders and broke free, angrily: "No!!"
There’s no time to hide, who would come forward!
"You—" Xiaohong was originally smiling, but after he rushed her, her expression suddenly turned pale. She forced a few smiles before turning completely black. "Get away from me from now on. If I see you again, I'll slap you to death."
Her brows were twisted into a knot, causing her eyelids to bulge, forming a triangular shadow. Her golden eyes were like a dormant poisonous snake, revealing a fierce look.
Bai Zuo was stunned, as if he got to know her all over again.
Xia Yan turned his head and smiled at the sentry, "You made him angry."
The sentry stood motionless like a wooden stake, his eyes glancing downwards, landing on Xiaohong's swaying waist as she walked, and concluded, "Femme Fatale."
Xia Yan smiled faintly and said nothing.
At this time, a soldier came out of the city carrying an extra-large oil barrel and put it on the ground.
She knocked on the wall of the oil drum, and it made a hollow metallic echo.
"Attention everyone! All collected crystal cores must be placed in designated oil drums. Private storage is strictly prohibited. Violators will be expelled from the base."
After he finished speaking, several people came over, turned the bulging cloth bag over, and the crystal cores fell down with a crackling sound, falling to the bottom with a clinking sound.
The soldiers who climbed up the mountain of corpses were too lazy to run back and forth, so they simply took off their backpacks and threw them down, leaving it to others to dump.
The land, blackened by rotten blood, was covered with debris, forming a thick layer. Sharp bone spurs extended obliquely and pointed towards the sky. When thickened military boots stepped on it, a soft pit was created with a creaking sound. The mucus was squeezed out under the pressure and climbed up the shoe surface in clusters.
No one's soles are clean.
Including their trouser legs, hands, and even gas masks.
Faced with the mountains of skulls and pieces of spines and thigh bones, people with weak mental qualities always feel uncomfortable. They are afraid when they see zombies, and they feel afraid when they kill zombies. They still feel afraid when they look at the two holes on the skulls.
It was as if they were not killing zombies, but their compatriots.
I don't know where the voice came from, but it sighed tremblingly and said:
"It's better to die as a human being. At least your body will be intact, and you can be buried in peace and have people worship you."
The field was silent. The wind blew into the empty head, circled around, and then came out from any hole, making a faint whistling sound.
This is a deep-rooted obsession. When people think about how they won't even have a place to sleep peacefully after they die, and will disappear like a puff of smoke, with no one caring about them, this loneliness and sadness makes most people depressed.
"Old man, what are you hesitating about? Don't worry about your afterlife. It's a blessing from your ancestors that you can live to old age safely without any accidents. If you are infected, I will show no mercy. Even your body will be thrown into the trash can."
The speaker's voice was youthful, and he seemed to have endless energy. He made the final decision: "Live first. If things don't work out, I'll see you off."
The old man said "good" three times in a row and refused to rest.
"It's settled! When I die, just find a place to bury me. Dig a deep pit so those bastards don't pull me out and eat me again. I've worked my whole life just hoping to get a good night's sleep underground, so there can't be any mistakes.
If I turn into a zombie, you can throw my bones away and I won’t blame you.”
The old man kept on talking and seriously explained his funeral arrangements.
The young man is big and strong, with broad shoulders and a thick back, but he has a delicate heart.
After the two exchanged crystal cores, they walked back together, one in front and one behind.
Xia Yan looked away. The sky in the west was tinged with a light pink hue, which gradually turned into orange, and dark colors gradually appeared in the sky.
She cannot participate in or change anyone's life trajectory. Their paths are shaped by their own personalities, education, and choices, and everyone is different.
She felt a loneliness and loss she had never felt before.
...
After dealing with the corpses outside the base, Chu Wanfu only left fifteen minutes for tidying up and washing up, and asked all the teams to rush to Lidai Island to help move things.
"Dinner will be provided by the base, and each person will receive two subsidized Level 2 crystal cores."
This sentence successfully shut up the indignant mouth——
Even if Chu Wanfu forced everyone to do voluntary labor, they could not and would not refuse, not to mention that they would be subsidized in the end.
Well~ General Chu is a really nice person.
The holiday gate can only take people to one place. After everyone's selection, it was decided to be at the entrance of the storage area, which at least saves people from having to run around.
Chu Wanfu took the lead and went to his own warehouse. After completing the authentication, the door opened upwards, revealing a warehouse full of supplies.
"Wow, wow, that's a lot of stuff!"
"Somehow, looking at this warehouse full of supplies, I suddenly feel at ease, haha."
"Look at the southeast corner, it's all rice, flour, grain and oil. It seems a bit insufficient. I hope General Chu will work harder and stock up the warehouse!"
Chu Wanfu suddenly tilted his head and said to his subordinates, "Why don't you put those goods in the storage area upstairs?"
The subordinate was a little confused, "The upstairs is already full——" Isn't this your order...
"What's inside?" Chu Wanfu interrupted.
Subordinates: "Food, all of it. There's no more room upstairs, so we're temporarily storing some of it here."
Chu Wanfu walked past the crowd with a straight posture and a heroic and proud demeanor.
When the subordinates following behind saw rows of bright and admiring eyes, they realized the leader's good intentions.
Boss, you are still the best.
Since the use of supernatural powers is prohibited on Lidai Island, everyone can only use their hands to carry supplies. Tables, chairs and benches are easy to carry, but large medical equipment is not possible.
