Chapter 229 Infection
Zhou Yukang was slow to turn around.
The hand in the cold mecha secretly exerted force and shook Shao Cenzhi.
The first infantry tank fighting vehicle is filled with all-round soldiers.
Due to excessive fatigue, everyone took turns to rest.
At this moment, the other seven people were all sleeping.
Only Zhou Yukang and Shao Cenzhi were awake.
The entire carriage was eerily quiet.
Zhou Yukang sighed lightly, and then suppressed the unclear emotions in his eyes.
He turned around and met Shao Cenzhi's eyes.
Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I like mint, so I want to pick some and bring it back to the dormitory."
After saying that, Zhou Yukang added a sentence in his murmur.
"I wish I could protect Miracle Base forever like mint."
Armored vehicles were parked at the gate.
Shao Cenzhi opened the door of the armored vehicle and said, "Go ahead."
Zhou Yukang looked at the mint grass swaying in the breeze outside.
A fresh fragrance entered his nose.
Before getting off the car, Zhou Yukang glanced at Shao Cenzhi again and said, "Boss, I'm lucky to meet you."
The All-Round Soldier Corps has been established for decades.
They stayed together for decades.
Whenever the team encountered any problems, it was almost always Shao Cenzhi who led everyone to solve them.
He will take the initiative to bear any sins.
If there are any rewards, always give them to your comrades first.
Although Xiaoyi was beaten and became ill at the Yuncheng Temporary Security Base.
But in fact, Shao Cenzhi received no fewer punches than anyone else that day.
Because it was he who took the initiative to leave the temporary safe base, which was a devil's pit that suppressed the world, and it was he who took the initiative to give up the better material conditions provided to him by the upper level.
Zhou Yukang sniffed and then jumped off the armored vehicle.
As he jumped down, Shao Cenzhi turned the position of the infantry tank fighting vehicle, notified the vehicles behind to go first, and then jumped down as well.
He said to Zhou Yukang in a low and magnetic voice:
"I'll accompany you to pick mint."
Compared to the smile Zhou Yukang forced himself to show just now, he smiled particularly happily after hearing Shao Cenzhi's words.
"Hey, you two! Picking mint is not something two grown men can do secretly."
"Yeah, it only makes sense if nine grown men do it together!"
"Yukang, tell dad what shape of mint you like, and I'll help you."
All the omniscient soldiers who were originally sleepy suddenly woke up.
They jumped off the armored vehicle and teased Zhou Yukang.
Zhou Yukang laughed again, "Then I want the leaf to have nine serrations on both sides, symbolizing the nine of us."
"good!"
"good!"
The brothers of the All-Round Soldier agreed.
The men bent over and fiddled with the mint leaves on the mint meadow.
Just as the nine people were concentrating on searching.
A childish voice came, "Take Xiao An to play with you, I will be a soldier in the future."
An Youan also rushed into the mint meadow.
Then he leaned against the brothers and helped find the target mint leaves.
Chen Li was in charge of the twenty-four armored vehicles, all of which drove into the Miracle Base.
The gate to Miracle Base remains open.
Hold the door open for the boys looking for mint.
After a moment of laughter and exploration.
An Youan's fingers slid across the mint beside him, and he said with a little disappointment, "But, there's no mint leaf with nine serrations on both sides."
After a long journey during the day, it was already late.
Lu Yi tugged at Zhou Yukang's sleeve.
"Brother Yukang, it's getting dark. Can we go out with you tomorrow to look for it?"
"Okay, let's go back."
Hearing this, An Youan picked a handful of mint in his hand.
Nine grown men and a young child were heading towards the Miracle Base in the light of the setting sun.
Zhou Yukang's pace was extremely slow.
Zhou Yukang suddenly stopped when everyone stepped into the gate of Miracle Base.
His mouth opened and closed, and it seemed as if there was something stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.
Finally, he choked up and said:
"I... won't go in."
Hearing this, Shao Cenzhi grabbed Zhou Yukang's cold mecha body.
"Are you finally going to tell us the truth?"
As comrades who have been together day and night for more than ten years, how can we not know each other's personalities.
How could such a carefree man stop just to pick mint?
How could he murmur, longing to protect the Miracle Base like Mint.
Everyone is not a fool, so they naturally know that Zhou Yukang has something to hide.
Since Zhou Yukang was unwilling to speak, Shao Cenzhi and others accompanied him.
Wait until he wants to talk.
The captain's question was met with concerned looks from his comrades.
At this moment, Zhou Yukang's emotions, which he had been trying to suppress, burst out.
His eyes instantly turned red and moist, and tears fell down his cheeks.
Seeing this, Lu Yi hurried forward and tried to remove the gas mask on Zhou Yukang's head to wipe his tears.
They, the all-round soldiers, have always adhered to the principle of shedding blood and sweat but no tears.
This was the first time they saw Zhou Yukang cry.
Look at Lu Yi coming forward.
Zhou Yukang raised his cold mecha arm and stopped Lu Yi.
"Don't touch me."
After choking for a long time, he finally spoke out his unspeakable secret.
“I’m infected.”
The word "infection" not only did not scare Lu Yi away, but instead prompted Lu Yi to start checking Zhou Yukang's physical condition.
An Youan held a piece of ice in his hand and said, "Brother, are you injured somewhere and feeling uncomfortable? Let me cool you down."
Liu Yuhang patted Zhou Yukang on the shoulder.
"Brother, you shouldn't curse yourself."
The others echoed.
"We brothers are lucky people, so how could any zombie dare to approach us?!"
"You want to be beaten, kid? You're telling lies to fool us, right?"
"Yukang, please stop teasing us. At worst, I'll help you find the mint grass on the edge of the nine-toothed saw."
Everyone talked to Zhou Yukang with smiles on their faces.
But their hearts have long been weighed down by the huge rock, making it hard for them to breathe.
Because they saw Zhou Yukang's expression under the gas mask, as if he wanted to distinguish himself from everyone.
They knew that Zhou Yukang was not lying.
But they just hope this is false.
Shao Cenzhi did not say anything.
His hands were already clenched into fists, and the veins on his arms were exposed.
As captain.
He would rather be bitten and infected by zombies than hear that his teammates suffered such a misfortune.
Shao Cenzhi strode forward and pulled Zhou Yukang into his arms.
Zhang Wei and others also followed up.
The nine grown men started crying as they talked.
An Youan also stood there in a daze, not knowing how to comfort her.
After a brief hug.
Zhou Yukang distanced himself.
"Forgive me for choosing to conceal this early on, because I still want you to stay with me for a while longer."
"But time is running out. I don't want to see the miracle base that everyone built with their own hands destroyed because of me."
"Before I turn into a zombie, please keep your distance from me."
Zhou Yukang said as he stepped back.
Lu Yi wanted to go forward and hold Zhou Yukang, but their fingertips touched and then missed each other.
At this moment, a cold voice fell into everyone's ears.
"Zhou Yukang, do you look down on me, the big sister?"
