Chapter 144 Pollution 21 Part 2 Lucky or Unlucky
"Sir! We are almost there. Hold on, hold on."
A huge black umbrella stretched out from the military backpack on Li Yanze's back, half holding and half dragging a man. Behind them was a ruin that had been bombed into a mess, with large tracts of grass and trees that were not seen in the base collapsed on the ground.
Ahead was the entrance to the passage where a gap had been blown open. There were no troops deployed there anymore, and even greater chaos had broken out in the city.
Li Yanze could feel a half-awake person leaning on him, with faint breathing and heartbeat.
Half of He Yihong's arm had been torn off. It was Li Yanze who stopped the bleeding and tied the sleeve tightly. The hanging part was dripping with blood.
Every step they took was difficult. Li Yanze clenched his teeth, the blood on his forehead blurred his eyes, and his legs mechanically repeated the forward movement.
Li Yanze kept muttering to himself, and it seemed that he was talking to himself rather than to the semi-conscious He Yihong.
"You still have to go back and find Xiao Yan, and accompany him to grow up. You have never fulfilled your responsibilities as a father. Didn't you say that this time you would... bring both mother and child back..."
He Yihong's hazy consciousness was suddenly cleared by two words, and he saw the child who was led into the dawn by his hand dragging him forward.
He didn't expect that Li Yanze could actually pull him out of the corpse. The broken limbs and torn bodies were all faces that Li Yanze recognized. This was his first time on the battlefield.
He Yihong said weakly: "Yan Ze..."
The tears that Li Yanze had been holding back burst out, but he couldn't wipe them away, so he could only blink hard to hold them back.
"Sir... Sir... Hold on a little longer, we'll go home..."
He Yihong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was a small cut on the back of his black protective suit. The wound was turning black and the blood had stopped flowing.
Even if his R value was naturally insensitive, but with this level of contact... he didn't need any testing equipment to know that he was contaminated and his R value was soaring abnormally.
But what if, after such a long time, he can still maintain consciousness. He Yihong gritted his teeth, thinking of the mother and son he had let down. He hadn't seen He Yan for a long time...
The detection equipment disappeared along with the broken arm, and the detection equipment at the door was completely paralyzed. Li Yanze would not doubt him, nor would he abandon him. He could get help first and treat his wounds.
He can be immortal, maybe, he doesn't have to mutate...
He Yihong trembled as he thought about it, and before his eyes were all kinds of sudden changes in pollutants that he had seen before.
They would replenish blood and flesh nutrients nearby. If he became a pollutant, Li Yanze, who would not defend himself, would be eaten by him.
But he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die... He still had so many regrets. He had just found out where He Yan was. He was only ten years old.
Li Yanze grabbed his collar tightly and tried to carry him back, but he was almost dragging him because he was exhausted.
"Commander, commander, they are all dead... all dead... we agreed to go back and have hotpot..." Li Yanze's emotions were repeatedly destroyed and reshaped between collapse and calm.
What Li Yanze faced was too cruel, naked and bloody, with lives being filled one after another. The person was still talking in the channel or talking to him in the last second, and in the next second, he was broken into pieces.
Those people were his friends and elders who had played with him, eaten with him, chatted with him and boasted with him. Their names, dreams and expectations were all crumpled into pieces.
Under the stinking blood rain, the S+ pollutants were eating happily.
He Yihong couldn't comfort him. He hated himself for waking up now. If he had arrived at the base as soon as he opened his eyes, he wouldn't have to make such a choice.
Li Yanze was almost there. There were only a few people guarding the gate of the base. There was no R-value equipment, and they brought medical kits with them... He Yihong squeezed out a suppressed shout from his throat.
Even if he tried his best, his voice was still very small, just a faint breath.
He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die. Even if he was a little selfish, so what? It wasn't certain anyway, right? So many buffer zone missions, so many people mutated, he was fine...
Li Yanze seemed to have heard his voice, and he suppressed his trembling voice and tried to remain calm: "Sir, give me a little more time, hold on."
Li Yanze had already walked into the buffer zone step by step, his legs trembling. He Yihong looked up and saw gray smoke coming out of the base and the sound of continuous artillery shells.
It was just a matter of thought. He Yihong didn't think he was a great man. He was fickle and selfish. He Yan was the child of his one-night stand. In his early years, he never thought about taking responsibility.
Later, he adopted Li Yanze in order to cooperate with the coalition government's propaganda. In fact, he never took care of Li Yanze and most of the time he threw him to the military area. Instead, he was allocated more contribution points because of this.
Even he was thinking about quitting the front line and entering the upper class. There was no reason why he had to work hard all the time just because he had good genes, and finally died here tragically. The honor of death is bullshit.
He Yihong let out a broken breath from his throat: "Let...let me go."
Li Yanze couldn't hear clearly: "What?"
"Put... me down! This is... an order."
Li Yanze didn't answer, he just walked forward with his head covered. He Yihong himself couldn't believe that he made such a choice.
He reached out and tried to grab the gun, and Li Yanze had to stop and put him on the ground.
"Shoot me. That's an order."
Li Yanze had just touched the wound on his back and understood everything. Silently and absent-mindedly, he opened his goggles and mask and stared at He Yihong blankly.
"You want to watch me mutate? I'd rather die than that." He looked up at the blue sky without a dome and squinted slightly.
It turns out that if you look at the sky outside for too long, your eyes will itch and you will want to cry.
"Shoot me."
Li Yanze held the pistol and looked at him with trembling and fear, as if He Yihong was some kind of monster.
"Please take good care of Xiao Yan for me, and I'll make our acquaintance worthwhile."
We are within range of the base, just a little bit.
Bang! After a gunshot, he was the only one left at dawn.
Li Yanze survived alone. Fortunately and unfortunately, just like when he was a child, his parents died in front of him, but he survived. The living are like in purgatory every moment, questioning fate, why they survived.
Now, he had more lives on his shoulders, nine companies and one He Yihong. He was almost suffocating and was about to be crushed to death.
I really want to die together. Li Yanze didn't know that he had loaded the gun and pointed it at himself.
Only at the last moment did he think of He Yan, the child whose photo he had seen briefly before.
*
Li Yanze wiped the glass in front of him with a towel in one hand. Inside was a photo of He Yihong wearing a military uniform, and underneath was a set of military uniforms he had worn before.
Li Yanze poured windshield washer fluid on the glass and then wiped it off carefully.
"I'm so sorry, I have raised your son astray. One good news, one bad news." Li Yanze looked calm, he squatted down, and wanted to smoke another cigarette, but he was afraid of the alarm.
"The good news is that he's not a scumbag like you. The bad news is that he's always thinking about men's butts."
"Even worse news, the one they are thinking about is me." Li Yanze sneered, seeming to find it a little funny.
"I don't know whether it's good news or bad news, but he won't be able to keep thinking about it soon."
*
After Tang Funian finished speaking, the classroom fell silent and He Yan's mind went blank.
He suddenly hated his old self, who was ignorant and sarcastic. He said so much about his love, but he knew nothing about Li Yanze's pain and still wanted to monopolize him.
Li Yanze seems to be fine. He can laugh, get angry, joke and do bad things. But what is he thinking and what is tormenting him...
"Okay, classmates, I hope this little story can reduce your enthusiasm for entering the dawn." Tang Funian made a joke.
No one could laugh.
Whether facing being killed by comrades or having to kill comrades, it's very... very fucked up.
"But the S+ pollutants have been dealt with. Their sacrifice was not in vain..."
"No." Tang Fu-nian casually threw out the bomb. "They successfully put the bomb containing R-minus into its mouth. The bomb exploded, but the energy was not enough. The S+ pollutant was just hidden."
"Maybe he is recovering his strength and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."
Everyone felt a tingling sensation on their back, as if they had just listened to a ghost story.
He Yan was distracted the whole time, his brain was blank and he couldn't think of anything.
As soon as the class was over, He Yan, despite his injuries, suddenly walked briskly, looking for Li Yanze everywhere. He just wanted to see him very much.
He Yan was like a headless fly, and finally thought of the memorial hall that he had never been to. They could not leave their bodies behind, and the memorial hall would be the tombstone and grave for all of them.
Every time Li Yanze took him there, He Yan was very resistant.
He Yan limped over there, only to see Fei Liang with an extremely serious expression, and the doctor beside him was frowning and saying something.
Li Yanze, who was standing with his back to him, had a relaxed posture. Just by looking at his back, one could tell that he was the only one among the three people here who didn't care about what the doctor said.
"I can't understand why you refused. You should be admitted to C2 Hospital immediately while you are still free so that we can provide systematic treatment."
Fei Liang also looked at Li Yanze: "You are giving up treatment, what do you want to do? Do you want to die young?"
Li Yanze listened to their scolding quietly and just said calmly.
"Can it be cured by receiving systematic treatment?"
The doctor choked: "It's better than doing nothing."
"It's fine like this now, for now."
He Yan hid subconsciously, and this time he didn't rush out to ask. He had to find a way to find out by himself, otherwise Li Yanze would find a way to fool him again.
During the training these days, Li Yanze would be there whenever he could. After listening to Li Yanze's story, Li Yanze could always receive their strange eyes with complicated and tearful eyes these days.
Li Yanze was so annoyed that he beat them up one by one in the fighting class. He Yan's old injury had just healed, but he got a new one. His mental state was strangely excited, which led Kang Heng and He Yu to train hard.
Li Yanze no longer went to see He Yan at night. He just waited outside the public bathroom with his arms folded. When he saw He Yan coming out with a towel on his head, he casually threw the medicated oil in his hand to him and then turned and left.
He Yan held on to it firmly and looked at his back quietly.
In a month's time, his restlessness that had nowhere to go was smoothed out without him noticing. He became calmer and more patient.
After all, he never forgot that in the final assessment, he would have to successfully capture Li Yanze before he would be qualified to say that he liked him.
