The next morning, the team got up early. They washed and packed up, tidying themselves up and preparing for a new journey.
However, none of them expected that they would be greeted by the government's special forces.
When the special forces wearing bulletproof clothing and holding guns surrounded the six people, Qi Yan's face turned pale and he cried out in his heart that something was wrong.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiaotian was stunned: "Is it that we can only enter but not leave here? We can save food for you if we go out!"
"That's right, what are you doing? If we fight, I may not lose!"
Yang Li saw that the other party was coming, and stopped Dacheng and Xiaotian.
"What do you want?" Yang Li looked at the leading special forces soldier.
The special forces soldier scanned the area, passed Yang Ze and others, and finally set his sights in the direction of Qi Yan and Kang Ye.
"Take that man away!"
After saying that, several special forces soldiers grabbed Kang Ye and quickly handcuffed his hands.
"What are you doing?!" Yang Ze became anxious all of a sudden. He had just lowered his posture, but that didn't mean they could arrest their brothers at will!
Jiang Dacheng and Xiaotian went over to help, but the next second they were blocked by the black muzzle of the gun. Long Sheng's face froze, and he was alert on the side. If a fight really broke out, he would help anytime and anywhere.
Kang Ye did not resist. Perhaps he was surprised by the sudden arrest, or perhaps he knew the reason why he was arrested. He looked up at Qi Yan and found that Qi Yan's eyes were full of coldness.
A bad premonition came over him, but Kang Ye was not a fool. He did not resist, but called out to Yang Ze and the others.
"I'm fine!" After saying that, Kang Ye turned his gaze to Qi Yan and said word by word, "I'll be fine."
Qi Yan was stunned. He saw the worry in Kang Ye's eyes and understood.
If the team members helped at this moment, they would probably be taken away as zombies. Qi Yan himself certainly didn't care, but the whole team was not just himself, but also the captain and the others.
They were all surviving with hope in the end times, and Qi Yan couldn't implicate others because of his and Kang Ye's own affairs.
Not knowing how he started to speak, Qi Yan's voice trembled, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't waste your energy, Kang Ye will be fine." His
heart was in pain and reluctance, just like the feeling when Yang Li had to order them to leave at the gas station.
Qi Yan looked at Kang Ye who was taken away, his brows furrowed, a warm current surged into his eyes, his nose felt sore, and his throat was sore. This feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to cry is really uncomfortable.
Others may not know, but Qi Yan knows best why Kang Ye was taken away.
"Qi Yan..." Yang Qie came to Qi Yan and patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Although I don't know what the government's purpose is, I believe Kang Ye will be fine."
"Yes, yes, don't worry too much. If it doesn't work, we will go and rescue him! When the time comes, we will run to another place. Who would dare to risk being eaten by zombies to catch us?"
"Or let's go and snatch Kang Ye back now! I'm not happy with those senior officials!"
"Dacheng, don't be impulsive."
No matter what they said, Qi Yan just looked at the direction where Kang Ye was taken away in silence.
Yang Qie sighed. There was no time to worry about Kang Ye yet. Qi Yan's condition was worrying enough.
Qi Yan didn't know what went wrong. Logically, if he stayed away from Su Cancan, Kang Ye's identity as a zombie would not be exposed... But now it is exposed, which means that the original plot is still going on.
The next step is that Kang Ye will be taken to the underground laboratory in Hope City for some inhumane experiments.
In the past, Qi Yan would not be so worried. But now, he doesn't want Kang Ye to go through that.
Qi Yan seemed to have made up his mind with his eyelids lowered slightly. He turned around and said to the rest of the team sternly: "Go back to the cabin, I have something to tell you."
The four Yang Zhui looked at each other, and followed Qi Yan at the same time and returned to their house.
After entering, Qi Yan locked the door and closed all the curtains. Others were very confused about his actions. They didn't understand what he was going to say, and why he was so mysterious.
Qi Yan's face was gloomy, and his always gentle expression was extremely serious at this moment.
"You may not be able to accept what I'm going to say next, but this is a fact, and this is also the reason why Kang Ye was captured." After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yan met the puzzled gazes of others without dodging.
"Kang Ye is a zombie."
...
A strange silence filled the air around them, as if it was restraining the flow of air and suffocating everyone.
"Qi Yan..." Yang Ze didn't know how to deal with Qi Yan's words, because they were really too shocking. He licked his dry lips and said, "Don't joke..."
Everyone in the team hated zombies.
Because Yang Ze didn't get back in time, his wife and daughter were eaten by infected neighbors and only bones were left; Jiang Dacheng's parents were attacked by groups of zombies on the way to escape; although Long Sheng was not close to his family, he still couldn't tolerate such a large family dying in the zombies' riot; Xiaotian's friends had already died somewhere.
Qi Yan's words made everyone's heart sink, and they couldn't recover from these sudden words.
Qi Yan showed reluctance, but continued: "It's true... Captain. Kang Ye is not a bitten zombie, but an infected zombie, but he has thoughts and cognition. He remembers his past and knows what to do and what not to do."
"It's just that he has no heartbeat. Kang Ye is also at a loss. He doesn't know what to do. He walks around, hoping to find someone like him who has undergone the same mutation but still has a soul, but he finds it is in vain."
"He chose Su Cancan because he wanted to have a goal to survive. And now, he chose me and our team."
"I tell you all this because I want to rescue Kang Ye."
"Just me, don't get involved."
"Leave here and sever ties with us."
Qi Yan's smile suddenly turned bitter. He looked at Yang Ze and said softly:
"This time, don't wait for us in the town ahead."
Qi Yan's original intention was to let them sever ties with Kang Ye.
There is no need to drag these innocent people into this. Qi Yan cannot tell what the ending will be, because this is not an ordinary world, but a doomsday with zombies everywhere.
If one person can leave, one person is safe.
The rest, let Qi Yan handle it himself.
- Kang Ye, wait for me.
