Chapter 32: People with different ideals cannot work together
"Ah Chen, this way!"
Lin Jinnan pushed open the door in front of him with great effort. His handsome face was dark and his eyes were shining with stars. He looked back and called Gu Bingchen, who was chopping zombies behind him, to come out quickly.
Gu Bingchen didn't want to fight anymore. He kicked away the zombie closest to him and ran towards the door.
With a "bang!", Lin Jinnan quickly closed the door and the swarm of corpses was blocked by the iron door.
"Huh, fortunately this door is open." Lin Jinnan got rid of his strength, leaned against the wall, and slid to the ground.
"Let's take a break and go find Wanyue and Xiaotang later." Gu Bingchen wiped the blood stains on his face. Although there was a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows, his eyes were slightly bright, and he looked very excited. "It's really me who got a pistol from the police station."
He touched the pistol that was still warm in his hand and couldn't let it go.
Lin Jinnan: "Isn't it my contribution?"
Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course it's your contribution. Have you slowed down? We are leaving. This door will collapse sooner or later."
He stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Jinnan up.
As soon as they ran out of the police station, the big iron gate behind them collapsed.
The two smiled at each other and drove away from the corpses.
"Wow, you two are so awesome!" After returning to the safe spot, Tang Yichao's eyes widened. They actually had no hope for Gu Bingchen and the others' plan to search for the pistol, but unexpectedly, the two really found it.
After all, before the emergence of superpowers, whoever had more weapons and whose weapons were more powerful was the boss.
A world without ethics and legal order only follows one law of survival - the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected.
In the bushes, a rustling sound of crushed leaves was heard, and Gu Bingchen and the others became alert. Lin Jinnan approached slowly with a knife.
"Don't... don't kill me! I didn't... didn't mean to eavesdrop." A skinny man fell to the ground, his hands waving in the air, his body shaking, his face panicked and frightened.
Gu Bingchen frowned: "People?"
Lin Jinnan grabbed the man's hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded: "It's a person, I don't know if it was bitten."
The man shook his head frantically: "No... No bite, there are no bite marks or scratches on the body, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
He reflexively took off his dirty clothes that couldn't be seen clearly.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be a hooligan." Tang Yichao stepped forward to block Chu Wanyue, his tone unhappy.
The man blushed, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that it was not a zombie, Gu Bingchen lost interest. He returned to the temporary camp, sat cross-legged by the campfire, and carefully wiped the new gun.
There were not many bullets, so it was better not to use them recklessly unless it was a critical moment.
He began to think about how to find more bullets and weapons.
"Have something to eat." Lin Jinnan took out food from his bag and handed it to the man, "What's your name?"
The man wolfed down the bread, his mouth full, and his speech was a little unclear: "My name is Mu Weixi, and I plan to go to Meicheng Base. What about you?"
Tang Yizhao: "What a coincidence, we are going too."
"Then...then can you take me with you?" Mu Weixi said hurriedly, "I...I can kill zombies and search for supplies. In short, let me go east, never west!"
He almost swore to the sky.
The leader of the team was Gu Bingchen, and Lin Jinnan looked at him, seeking his consent.
Gu Bingchen raised his eyes, his handsome face hidden in the shadows. No one could see his expression at the moment. He only said calmly: "It's up to you. You will bring people with you even if I don't agree."
Lin Jinnan stroked her hair: "Ah Chen knows me."
"Tsk, you have been meddling in other people's business since college. I really hope you can change your bad-natured look."
"Do you know there is a saying on the Internet called 'When the end of the world comes, kill the Virgin Mary first'."
"You know what, this saying makes sense."
As team members, they have the most say about Gu Bingchen's viciousness.
So, Mu Weixi became one of their teammates.
It is normal for conflicts and frictions to occur between teams. Noisy and noisy, it does not hinder their relationship.
Until they entered the base.
Everything has changed dramatically.
"Mu Weixi! You actually betrayed us?!" Tang Yichao's face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a deep wound on his shoulder that was so deep that the bone was visible. The blood dripped onto the white ground like blooming flowers.
Chu Wanyue leaned against the broken wall exhausted, with many wounds on her fair skin.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Mu Weixi bit his lip, not daring to look at the expressions of the three people opposite him.
"You can't blame me, really. If you want to blame someone, blame you for being too arrogant." His mutterings were blown away by the breeze.
"You are Gu Bingchen, right?" The strong man standing next to Mu Weixi was a sturdy man. He was originally the first team in the base, but after Gu Bingchen came, his position as a strong man was shaken. In addition, the person he liked fell in love with someone else, so he held a grudge.
Therefore, he used some tricks and benefits to sow discord and successfully instigated Mu Weixi to rebel.
The strong man took a step forward, stepped on Gu Bingchen's injured arm, and crushed it cruelly: "What I can't stand most is you bunch of pretty boys and rich second-generations."
As he said that, he approached Chu Wanyue with a sly smile and pinched her beautiful cheeks with his rough fingers: "Tsk tsk, little girl, your skin is really good. How about this, as long as you obey me, I won't kill you."
Chu Wanyue opened her mouth and bit the strong man's fingers, her eyes filled with hatred.
The strong man felt the pain and kicked Chu Wanyue in the abdomen. He shook his numb and painful fingers and found that they were bitten and bleeding: "Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished."
"Come here, tie them all up for me, I must kill them."
Just as he was about to chop Chu Wanyue's fragile neck with an axe,
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
There was silence all around.
The strong man fell to the ground in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
He was sure that Gu Bingchen did not bring a gun today.
Mu Weixi suddenly looked towards the corner, only to see Gu Bingchen standing up with a staggering body, his hand holding the pistol trembling slightly.
This was his...first time killing someone.
"Mu Weixi...you'd better not fall into my hands."
Gu Bingchen raised his head slowly, a faint smile appeared on his bloodstained face, his voice was very calm, so calm that it was creepy.
Everyone present, including Lin Jinnan, who had just heard the news and rushed over, felt a chill down their spines and their eyes were filled with fear.
From that moment on, Gu Bingchen changed completely.
This is what Lin Jinnan said afterwards.
He said, "Although Zhuang Han was wrong, you shouldn't have killed him."
He also said, "We can't lose our conscience."
Gu Bingchen's eyes were calm. He stared into Lin Jinnan's eyes and said word by word, "Lin Jinnan, I guessed that you deliberately went out on a mission that day."
Lin Jinnan's face froze.
"You can't stand my arrogant look either." Gu Bingchen said affirmatively.
"It doesn't matter. I hate you too. You are the kindest person in the world."
"Every time you pick up some people, you just say 'They are so pitiful, let's save them', and then you leave them alone."
"You don't care at all that the team can no longer support these poor people. Wanyue has mentioned it many times, but you just don't listen. You insist on your own way and drag down the entire team."
"In fact, you don't care much about the lives of those people. You just want to gain a good reputation."
Every time Gu Bingchen said a word, Lin Jinnan's face became uglier.
"Look, who doesn't say that Lin Jinnan is a good person now? He is simply a bodhisattva in the world." Gu Bingchen raised a smile on his handsome face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and his words were sharp.
These needles pierced Lin Jinnan's heart.
After a long silence, Lin Jinnan said hoarsely, "...I didn't."
"Lin Jinnan, we can't work together if we don't share the same ideals." Gu Bingchen stood up with a cold face, "Our friendship ends here."
"From now on, you go your way and I go mine."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Lin Jinnan's reaction.
"Lin Jinnan, sometimes I really don't understand you." Chu Wanyue followed closely, "Everyone in the base says that the captain is deep-minded and smooth in dealing with things, so people can't see his true emotions, but I think you are the one who is very cunning and never reveals his true emotions."
Tang Yichao's disappointed eyes fell on Lin Jinnan, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, stepped forward, and quickly caught up with Gu Bingchen and Chu Wanyue.
Lin Jinnan sat all day looking in the direction of the door.
In the end, he became the leader of the search and rescue team, Mu Weixi formed his own team, and on the list, there was an additional 'rich team'. This team was special, they only had three people, and they refused to accept any survivors.
When Gu Bingchen said this, he was in a very peaceful mood. He put his hands behind his head, half lying down
and looking at the stars in the sky. In the dark night, Jiang Yunqi opened his hand, and there was an apple-flavored soft candy in his palm. His eyes were as bright as stars in the moonlight.
His tone was still flat and without ups and downs, but one could hear the concern hidden in it: "Xiao Tang said that apples mean 'peace'. I give you the candy, and I hope you will have peace and smooth life."
Gu Bingchen was slightly stunned, and was stunned for a while before taking the soft candy and then tearing open the package.
When her lips and teeth touched the apple syrup in the soft candy, a warm current seemed to flow through her heart.
The sweetness of this soft candy was even sweeter than the chocolate last time.
"Boss! Where are the people! It's time to eat!"
Long Yilan and Xie Er set up the tent and lit a bonfire. When she turned around, she couldn't find her admiral.
She refused Xie Er's invitation to cook after regaining her vitality. She walked around the gravel and saw Jiang Yunqi on a big rock.
Gu Bingchen was about to say something when he heard Long Yilan's shout.
He put out the spark of his cigarette, unable to bear it any longer, and asked with a dark face: "Has her personality always been like this?"
Jiang Yunqi: "Yeah."
"Then she is lucky to have lived to this age without being beaten."
"???" Jiang Yunqi was surprised, "Who told you that she has never been beaten?"
"I have beaten her."
"..." Gu Bingchen raised a thumbs up, "Well done!"
