As soon as they entered the base, the atmosphere was oppressively silent, and the sweltering weather made it even more difficult to breathe. In addition, they had lost five comrades, a number that made them heartbroken. Although there had been sacrifices when they went out on missions before, they could transport their bodies back intact. But now they had become food in the stomachs of zombies. Not to mention transporting them back, they didn't even have intact bodies.
The group that went out lowered their heads even lower when they came back. They knew that it was their mistake that led to the sacrifice of these five people, so they lowered their heads dejectedly and dared not even breathe.
"Give me an explanation." After Han Lie went in, he told himself not to be impulsive or angry, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Han Lie endured it so hard that his temples were throbbing, and he clenched his hands tightly behind his back, making a crisp crackling sound.
Shangguan Wan's delicate ears moved without saying a word. This kind of thing was something only he could handle. After all, she was a woman and couldn't do much in the base.
"That... Commander Han, we... just wanted to go out hunting like you. We also wanted to get rid of these things to avenge our dead relatives, but we didn't expect." They didn't expect that they underestimated the zombies and overestimated their own abilities, resulting in a siege and causing them to lose five comrades. They didn't want that either.
"Why don't you organize yourself when you go out? Why don't you stay near the base? Why do you go to the center of the zombies?" Han Lie looked at them with eyes like fire, and his voice was an unprecedented roar.
The Red Eagles all knew that Han Lie was angry, and very angry.
"Because of your arrogance and your overestimation of your own abilities, I lost five comrades, five. Do you know what this means? What's more, do you know that their abilities are stronger than yours? Well, why should they die because of you? Why? Just because they are soldiers? No, they are saving you for your comfort, so they disregard their own safety. If they hadn't saved you, they wouldn't have been besieged by zombies. They wouldn't have sacrificed. Your life is life, and their life is life too." Han Lie said this angrily because he was really heartbroken. He felt sorry for his soldiers and those young lives.
"Captain Han, we really didn't mean it." Losing five comrades was painful for them, but it was also extremely painful for him, because they were bitten to death by zombies while saving him.
No one here is more valuable than anyone else, and no one is qualified to have others die for him, but they lost their lives to save themselves. They are worthy of admiration and deserve lifelong gratitude.
In this cold-blooded and ruthless era, the world is not completely destroyed because of them.
It is also because of them that we can see the hope of life.
"Okay, I spoke a little harshly today, and you have worked hard. Go down and rest." Han Lie turned around without looking at anyone, and just said lightly for others to rest.
With an upright figure and a sad back, he walked away step by step. Shangguan Wan felt distressed when she saw him. She wanted to comfort him, but since he had to go through this, it would be better to let him get over it on his own. Besides, the current situation did not allow him to be sad.
Everyone has lost family, friends, and loved ones at this time. Does one have to grieve over every loss? Therefore, he needs to see the situation clearly for himself. He needs to understand his own actions. Furthermore, he is the leader of the base and the spiritual pillar of so many people. He can only be ruthless, not cry or be sentimental.
After Shangguan Wan returned, she did not see Han Lie. Only when Li Ping told her did she realize that he had walked into the laboratory alone. Shangguan Wan guessed that Han Lie wanted to develop a medicine as soon as possible to eliminate these things.
Everyone hates zombies. They don't just bite people; they bite their loved ones. And now, it's their own family members reduced to nothingness, a terrifying sight that makes one want to kill them with their own hands. Death isn't the most terrifying thing, but the living are the hardest. Never forgetting the image of taking up arms and personally killing a loved one, they'll be condemned for the rest of their lives.
Now Shangguan Wan believes that many people cannot sleep at night because when they fall asleep they dream of their loved ones lying in front of them covered in blood, and they are holding a bloody knife in their hands. The scene is bloody and terrifying.
