Chapter 60 The People Who Should Be Protected
Chen Leying's hand was grabbed by Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan's eyes were full of disapproval: "Are you planning to kill him?"
Chen Leying looked at her calmly and asked in return, "Otherwise what?"
Zhao Lan said anxiously, "We have no right to end someone's life so easily!"
Three generations of her family served in the military, and she was taught from a young age that everything should be done with the people first.
Her grandfather and father taught her from a young age to protect every Chinese person and to use ruthless methods against the enemy.
Her gun was always pointed at the enemy.
Even in the world of survival, she never forgot her duty and generously offered help to others.
Hearing Zhao Lan plead for him, Liu Fujia crawled to her and hugged her legs: "Zhao Lan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't let her kill me! You are a soldier, your duty is to protect the people, you must save me! Please, save me!"
Chen Leying smiled as if she had heard a joke, but there was no real amusement in her eyes: "Was his behavior just now a joke to us?"
Zhao Lan was speechless for a moment.
Where is the law in this world of survival?
Even the country she vowed to protect forever no longer exists.
Zhao Lan suddenly felt a little confused. Was her persistence meaningful?
Seeing that her expression was strange, Chen Leying shook off her hand, not wanting to waste any more words, and slashed Liu Fujia's throat with a knife.
Warm blood splattered on the back of Zhao Lan's hand, and she felt as if she had been burned.
Looking down, he met Liu Fujia's unseeing, lifeless eyes.
Her mind went blank.
A life vanished before her eyes.
In the past, she would have taken Chen Leying, who was considered a "dangerous element," into custody without hesitation.
But she also knew that things were different here than before.
She is no longer a soldier.
Chen Leying's approach... doesn't seem to be wrong.
After all, Liu Fujia had first harbored murderous intent towards them and then acted on it.
In terms of the level of danger, he is the number one dangerous element.
Zhao Lan looked completely lost and dejected.
Chen Leying didn't even look at her, said "I'm leaving" to Meng Qingyin, and drove away in her SUV on the highway.
As he watched her departing figure, Square Root Three felt a chill run down his spine and muttered, "That girl is ruthless."
Although he followed along to "deal with" Liu Fujia, he didn't believe he could be like Chen Leying, calmly slit Liu Fujia's throat with a knife.
He swallowed hard, turned to look at Zhao Lan, and said with great respect, "I never expected you to be a soldier! My childhood dream has been to become a soldier and protect my country, but unfortunately my eyesight is poor... Hello, officer, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
After he finished speaking, he gave a standard military salute.
Zhao Lan remained silent for a long time before finally moving her lips to say, "...Not anymore."
Feiqiu stepped forward and kicked Liu Fujia to make sure he was completely dead before saying, "He's dead, so I'm leaving too."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing that everyone had almost left, Square Root Three glanced at Zhao Lan with some reluctance before departing as well.
Only Zhao Lan and Meng Qingyin remained on the sand.
"Isn't your car battery dead?" Meng Qingyin asked. "Then how are you going to get there?"
Zhao Lan smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter. If I can't leave, then I'll stay here forever."
If I were to die like this, it might not be such a bad thing as a release.
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment, then took out a battery and placed it on the ground in front of Zhao Lan.
"This battery is for you, but also for other soldiers like you who defend our country. Without you, we ordinary people would not be able to live and work in peace."
“But… times have changed, and your views need to be updated,” Meng Qingyin said slowly. “There are no shortage of vicious criminals here. Do you want to be their accomplice? Think carefully about who you should be protecting.”
Meng Qingyin was able to say these things entirely because of Zhao Lan's military status.
As for whether Zhao Lan can adapt to this place, that's up to her; no one else can help her.
After saying this, Meng Qingyin drove away.
Zhao Lan lowered her head and remained silent.
She seemed to understand what Mengmeng meant.
In times of peace and prosperity, she protected the common people and safeguarded the country.
Here, she still protects the kind people, but she no longer shows mercy to the wicked.
Because being lenient with them is being cruel to others.
Zhao Lan sent Mengmeng a message: "Thank you."
Meng Qingyin did not reply.
She knew that Zhao Lan had come to her senses.
After the harrowing experience, coupled with the unbearable pain in her arm, Meng Qingyin simply let Xiao Ai drive forward while she went to bed to rest for a while.
I slept until noon.
Meng Qingyin was awakened by 007's voice that went straight into her mind.
[Hello everyone, it's great to see you again. I'm announcing that this escort mission has successfully concluded. Starting tomorrow, the target mileage will be restored, so please get ready!]
