Chapter 121 Yang Yicheng: His Character
The guns that Lin Xi was concerned about were all taken away by the newcomers.
It's Yang Yicheng.
A person with excellent mobility who can move around a wide area.
He will go to Yunxiang, he will go to Nanhua, and he will come to Xinchuan.
However, this time he seemed to have intervened out of a sense of justice.
The two groups of men wearing night vision goggles dropped their weapons the moment they met.
Yang Yicheng: "You guys really are here."
Lin Xi instinctively became wary: What? Did you come here specifically to arrest us again?
Yang Yicheng added, "I saw your companions outside crushing zombies."
She said "companion," not "accomplice."
Lin Xi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Wei took the lead and greeted him: "Lieutenant Yang."
Yang Yicheng paused, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "It's not anymore."
If he gets promoted, he'll be bursting with a sense of justice, but he'll stop short of it and won't look too happy.
It might be an unpleasant thing.
I wonder if it's because they let Lin Xilu go.
Seemingly sensing their gazes, Yang Yicheng said, "Don't think about it, it's not because of that."
Although Lin Xi had never liked him, it was because of his help that they were able to escape danger so quickly, so it was necessary to express her gratitude.
Yang Yicheng waved his hand, indicating that this was not the place to talk. After his men collected all the scattered weapons on the ground, they went to the B1 supermarket area to pick and choose some supplies that might be needed.
Then, without checking if there were any survivors in the building, or even bothering to search the building, they left.
His mission seemed to have nothing to do with transferring refugees.
After Xiang Xin finished crushing the zombies outside, he used a drone to scan the building. Once he confirmed that there were no survivors, Lin Xi and the other two walked out of the building.
The sudden burst of sunlight into my eyes made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"This mission can be considered a failure," Lin Xi summarized the first mission she had received.
The attempt to evacuate survivors was only successful at the beginning. Later, the talking zombies disrupted everyone's plans, and not only were there no survivors, but even the companions who had come in were wiped out.
The trucks started moving, slowly following the convoy heading to the base.
Lin Xi cleaned the two daggers, put on their outer casings, and put them in his sleeve.
Thinking about that singing zombie from before gave me goosebumps.
Lin Xi asked Lu Wei, "Have you ever seen a talking zombie before?"
She hadn't lived long in Nanhua before, so she didn't know much about zombies and had never seen a mutated zombie.
Yunxiang is even more remote, with a sparse population and few zombies.
The only mutated zombie I ever saw was sawed off before it could even say a few words.
If Lin Xi hadn't seen it again today, she would have thought that the zombie she saw last time was just on the verge of being both human and zombie, looking like a zombie but still having human behavior and consciousness.
Lu Wei nodded: "Some zombies can make human voices, but they are not under their control. They usually say things they said when they were alive."
Lin Xi: "Like a broken record?"
Compared to ordinary zombies, they only have the ability to speak and attract people, but they do not possess intelligence.
You can't actually talk to it.
Lu Wei: "Mm."
Xiang Xin asked like a curious child, "Does this mean the zombies are mutating? Will there be intelligent zombies in the future? The kind with human consciousness, and even a zombie king? Hmm? Is that possible?"
Her words piqued Lin Xi's curiosity.
Lu Wei: "I haven't seen it yet."
Xiang Xin took notes: "What other 'abnormal species' have you seen? Let me write them down. After the apocalypse is over, I want to draw a documentary comic."
Faced with Xiang Xin's eager gaze, Lin Xi turned her face away somewhat shyly.
Lu Wei: "'White Shield Base' once leaked information about radioactive zombies."
"Radiation-infected zombies?"
Lu Wei: "Zombies are physiologically dead, so they are not afraid of radiation from harmful substances. Zombies carry these harmful substances and can harm people's health remotely even without biting them."
Lin Xi imagined it for a moment:
That's incredibly perverse; they even poisoned the zombies.
Liang Hui was puzzled: "Was this leaked by the 'White Shield Base'? Was it intentional or an accident?"
Lu Wei: "We're not sure, but it's very likely man-made."
Xiang Xin: "I know! It's to turn zombies into biological weapons!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines:
Zombies are already inanimate objects and are not afraid of harmful substances. This biological weapon is not intended to deal with zombies, but to deal with humans.
No wonder Lu Wei warned us to be careful of the White Shield base and the people who carried out the White Shield plan.
"Why do this... Shouldn't we unite to eliminate the zombies and restore peace?"
Everyone has a certain answer to this question in their mind, but they haven't put it into practice.
Along the way, they also witnessed many ugly aspects of human nature.
Lin Xi mentioned, "Like the dog food factory we passed by before. The man inside was just an ordinary worker in peacetime, but after the collapse of order, he became a powerful figure in that small factory."
They disregard legal constraints and have no financial pressure.
Some people unleash their primal instincts, surviving by plunder and conquering everything by force.
Xu Fang's status and wealth in peacetime were meaningless in the apocalypse, and she became the lowest-ranking person in the factory in terms of power and connections.
Lu Wei summarized: "Some people are suited to living under the previous order, while others prefer the reshuffling of the world after the apocalypse."
Along the way, they also discovered that the enemy was not always zombies, but sometimes people.
Lin Xi suddenly thought of Yang Yicheng. What role did he play in the apocalypse?
She asked Xiang Xin, "Did Yang Yicheng come to help by himself?"
Xiang Xin: "I was running over zombies at the time and didn't pay much attention to his expression. But he hesitated in the car for a while before getting out."
Lin Xi analyzed Yang Yicheng's behavior piece by piece and gradually came to a clear conclusion:
He has broken away from the original system to build his own power, which will eventually become a warlord-like force.
Yang Yicheng in his previous life must have been like that too.
He has his own principles:
They fought zombies, but didn't put any effort into rescuing survivors.
In his previous life, he passed through Yunxiang and cleared away the wandering zombies. Then he led the villagers to dig up the lotus roots from the lotus pond and took half of them for himself.
After all, it was he who cleared out the zombies in the vicinity, which gave the villagers the opportunity to go out and dig lotus roots. Otherwise, with zombies roaming around, the lotus roots would rot in the pond and no one would dare to risk digging them.
Therefore, people did not feel disgusted by his behavior; in fact, they expressed their gratitude.
So what did he do?
Gather the best.
He already had a base at that time, but he never mentioned taking the villagers to the base for refuge or building a new home together.
He summoned able-bodied young people to the base, and as a guarantee, he provided supplies to Lin Jie's family who followed him, but ignored everyone else.
This person's goal is very clear—
He was fighting zombies, not rescuing people.
Saving people was something he did on a whim, but it wasn't his main task.
Just now, he recognized Xiang Xin and knew that there was a supermarket in this shopping mall, and there was likely also supplies.
They then took action to clear out the zombies.
There's something to take, and the person being rescued is someone fighting zombies.
When the zombie outbreak first occurred, Shen Hua insisted on keeping Lin Xi under guard, but Yang Yicheng spoke up to guarantee their freedom.
Yang Yicheng told them to fight zombies and protect the stadium.
For him, useful people should be used and saved.
He eliminated some unarmed people...
Such a standard is bound to deviate from the general direction of the relevant departments, so he was either removed from the list or left voluntarily, and he is now an independent person.
The eagle-like gaze that looked down at Lin Xi from the top of the birdcage was still vivid in her mind, and Lin Xi's mind trembled.
He has targeted the weak before.
