Chapter 146 The Coward and the Brave
City D.
Zhao Qinghan raised her head and looked at everyone present. This was a temporary town hall meeting, and she was participating in the meeting as a citizen representative.
Her memory couldn't help but go back a few days ago. Her ability suddenly increased. After killing the uninvited guests, she was found by several fully-armed red-clothed staff. The other party brought tears of Qiaoqiao and Beside Haoyu. Huang Daxian/weasel was sent to first aid.
When she was told that her power had evolved to the fourth level, she didn't feel much, but thought to herself that she was able to better protect her friends. Holding a sobbing Qiaoqiao, she thanked Pang Haoyu for his help. If it weren't for the other party, I'm afraid that Qiaoqiao would have encountered something unexpected.
The little boy was covered in bandages, and said stubbornly, "It's just a little effort."
However, Zhao Qinghan waited until the zombie tide in the northern suburbs had been wiped out, and even until she became a new citizen representative, she did not wait for Cheng Mengyun and Yinhua, who were sent out that day, to return.
Until she was invited to Qingquan Temple to participate in a temporary town hall meeting, and was told along with others to become a new citizen representative, her joy was replaced by worry about her friends.
She looked around the crowd at the conference table. The old monk had been sitting in the original seat, and he didn't seem to have moved the ground, and had been closing his eyes and discs the Buddha beads in his hands. Zhao Qinghan is not very familiar with all the representatives of the citizens, but at a glance, he can see that there is no Taoist priest present, mainly because the other party's meat and vegetable day is too interesting, and the visual impact brought by zooming in on a small crispy pork belly is hard to forget. But speaking of it, it seems that the meat and vegetable day has not been carried out for a long time, and many citizens have doubts.
"Accordingly, Mengyun should be promoted to a citizen representative, why me?" Zhao Qinghan asked after Lao Jiao Science finished his duties as a citizen representative.
But Lao Jiao sighed: "I have bad news to tell you, your partners, Cheng Mengyun and Yinhua may not be back."
"What, what do you mean?!" Zhao Qinghan was so excited that he grabbed Lao Jiao's collar, and the supernatural powers around him, along with the emotional instability of the master, jumped out a few pieces of paper money.
Lao Jiao didn't say anything like "calm down", but explained things succinctly and quickly: "Today, your partners, Cheng Mengyun and Yinhua, were temporarily called up to the No. 15 squad and headed to the north of City D, 90 kilometers away. , to carry out the task of intercepting the small zombie tide. After the precise calculation of our command office, this task should be successfully completed.
"First, the configuration of the team completely restrains the zombie tide; second, all the team members in it have rich experience in fighting outside; third, our investigation department has implemented a 100-kilometer full-range surveillance coverage around City D. If the team has any difficulties, we can provide emergency assistance within 10 minutes."
Zhao Qinghan's grip on his collar gradually loosened, but his emotions were still excited.
Lao Jiao continued, and Zhao Qinghan realized the whole story. When the special equipment sent by the Kangfu Base, the ability display showed that there was an abnormal energy flashing in the north, everyone in the command office found that it happened to be the mission location of the 15th team.
When wanted to contact the investigators in that area, couldn't get in touch, so had to contact the staff in the adjacent area. However, when the other party rushed over, they found that the investigators in the mission area had already died, and the mission location was also on fire. There was a raging wildfire.
After desperately putting out the mountain fire, it was found that the number of zombies present was several times more than reported, and the people in the 15 team were basically wiped out. The whole scene is full of weirdness and irrationality.
"But we didn't find the bodies of three people, including your friends Cheng Mengyun and Yinhua. Judging by the ability display, they are likely to be taken away." Lao Jiao said quickly.
Zhao Qinghan had loosened Lao Jiao's collar, and she sat in the same position a little slumped. She knew that City D had done everything possible to reduce the risk of going out. Not everyone wanted to see such an accident. Lao Jiao obviously knew a lot of news, and she waited for the other party to finish speaking.
"But we found the third person other than your two friends," Lao Jiao said solemnly, straightening his clothes, "her body appeared further south in the southern suburbs. That was the location of her assignment yesterday. She has already Dead for more than a day."
Zhao Qinghan raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean?"
Lao Jiao released a shocking bomb: "Yes, she died yesterday, and the one who participated in the expatriate mission with your two partners today is the hidden 'ghost'."
The newly promoted citizen representatives were in an uproar.
Some citizen representatives could not sit still and asked questions one after another.
Lao Jiao signaled everyone to be quiet, and said slowly: "These 'ghosts' are collectively referred to as 'invisible people'. They have exactly the same ability, and they can all hide in the environment without being noticed. They lurk into our D city and commit crimes. He committed murders, bombed granaries, made infected people worse in public, and interrogated shooting cases.
"Even the frequent disappearance cases a while ago were caused by these invisible people, taking people out of City D."
By the way, Lao Jiao explained why the B-level vigilance activities in the city were carried out before, that is, to eliminate the "invisible people" lurking in the D city. Unfortunately, due to the lack of ability, although the scanning power of the tower was used to capture many invisible people, there were still fish that slipped through the net. It was not until yesterday that the [Power Display] from the Kangfu Base was delivered overnight, which made the abnormal power fluctuations in D City very conspicuous, and all the hidden invisible people were wiped out.
So today in City D, it can be said that there is a continuous rotation, fighting zombies and fighting zombies; interrogation and interrogation; working people who work overtime all night; some citizens are volunteers; The incense in the temple dedicated to the supernatural power has not stopped for a day.
"Where did the Invisible Man come from?" A new citizen representative had red eyes. Her brother just disappeared suddenly. She has found almost no clues until now.
The old town representatives were silent, and Lao Jiao sighed and replied:
"City A. They were sent by City A."
Another new citizen representative couldn't sit still, stood up and roared, "How is that possible?! For no reason, why would the City A base do such a thing?"
"Is it because our city D provoked the base of city A before, so they countered us? Then why use such a vicious method."
Princess Che, who had just recovered from a serious illness, sneered on the side: "The time when we turned against City A was far later than when they were stealing chickens and dogs. According to the information we searched, whether it was the invisible man or some traitors in City D 's confession, as well as some additional clues, all point to City A."
The audience fell silent for a while, and then Zhao Qinghan asked: "Why does City A do these things? Are people taking people away?"
The princess choked angrily: "Among the missing people, without exception, they are all people with special abilities! Our city D is the survivor base with the most people with special abilities in the country, and we have no choice but to lick our wool!"
Zhao Qinghan was fidgeting, Cheng Mengyun and Yinhua were both special abilities, and they should have been taken away by City A.
"Then what will happen to my brother?!" The citizen representative stood up.
"It's very likely that there are more bad luck than good luck," Lao Jiao said solemnly. "During this time, we tried to analyze the composition of the special medicine, which contains various special supernatural energy. We suspect that City A is carrying out human experiments, special effects The production of medicine is related to it.”
A needle was dropped in Qingquan Temple, and everyone thought of an appalling hypothesis, which was the origin of the end times. And the tide of zombies that has been breathless in the past few weeks has hidden inhumane secrets.
After that, Zhao Qinghan couldn't remember the process of the subsequent meeting.
I just remember that some of the newly promoted citizen representatives in Qingquan Temple made a fuss and threatened to go to the base in City A to bring their relatives and friends back.
There was a lot of discussion at the conference table. She sat beside her, silent.
She didn't remember much when the meeting ended. Only know the treetops on the moon.
She walked out of Qingquan Temple in the city center in a daze, and then went around to the cemetery in the western suburbs.
Many graves in the cemetery have been newly built, and some are being buried.
Afraid that the sound would disturb the living dead in the dark night, the funeral team was silent, and even the weeping in front of the grave was small. In the cemetery, there are many tombs of clothing and crowns. Today, the tide of zombies is fiercely attacking, and many people may not even be able to leave their bones.
She recited the rebirth scriptures and walked through every grave, but there was a burst of sadness in her heart.
There are children who are innocent, ask if the zombie tide will come in the future? There is a white-clothed parent next to him, begging God to tell the Buddha, and there will be fewer and fewer connections.
Almost everyone thinks that every zombie wave is a natural disaster, a bloody disaster caused by the **** living dead longing for flesh and blood. But a few people, including her, understood the human malice behind it.
Many people in the grave may not know it until they die. They died under the greed and malice of their compatriots.
Walking back from the cemetery to the eastern suburbs, all the way is the smell of incense, candles and paper money, and there are more offerings in front of the roadside shrine, all want is peace and security.
What to say?
She understood from beginning to end why the representatives of the citizens kept their mouths shut, even though they knew about the conspiracy of City A, they never disclosed it to the citizens.
After learning the truth, go to revenge? City A has the most developed economic and technological power before the end of the world, stationed in the northern military region, monopolizing special medicines, and even possibly controlling the tide of zombies at will. Confronting them head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and seeking death.
She knew that there were not so many people of justice full of loneliness and courage in the world, but there were many people who only cared about one-third of the land in front of her. She understands the choices of the citizens' representatives, and rather than knowing the object of hatred, she may never be able to take revenge for the rest of her life. It is better to pretend to deceive yourself and live in the constructed white lie.
Although she thinks so, whenever she sees people who come to the Citizen's House to inquire about the progress of the disappearance case, there is a white-haired grandmother who asks her only daughter, a young child looking for her father, and a wife who turns white one night looking for her husband. . Sometimes zombies will leak into the zombie tide and rush into the crowd to kill. Therefore, there are uninterrupted white affairs in the community. The cries she heard from someone passing by by chance made her heart tortured.
Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith pressed her down, pulling her between reason and sentimentality. She shared the same secret with a few people, but there was nothing she could do.
How about being a citizen representative? What if the ability is fourth-order? She couldn't even save her two best friends. During the day, she can escape from the work that is entrusted to her, but in the middle of the night, she can't sleep. Jian Tianyi, who could have said a few words, was still too busy.
At the beginning, Qiaoqiao also asked her when sister Cheng and brother Yin would come back. She only said that it was coming soon, and she didn't know whether to comfort Qiaoqiao or herself. Qiao Qiao was very sensible and didn't ask more questions. Every day, she went to school with Pang Haoyu who came to pick up her backpack. Every day, she walked along the road and crowded places. When she came back, she stuck close to Zhao Qinghan, as if she was afraid that Sister Zhao would also gone.
The internal friction in just a few days made Zhao Qinghan lose a lot of weight, and lost the mood for dressing up and dressing up that he likes on weekdays.
She thought her edges and corners had been smoothed out until that night.
Everyone in City D was awakened by a strange rumbling noise in the early morning. The sound boomed as if the ground was shaking.
Suddenly, the siren sounded in City D, and all the citizens habitually got up immediately and took up their weapons, as if it was a new wave of zombies. However, when the emergency lights came on, everyone realized that it was not.
Only a majestic mountain suddenly appeared in the west of City D, like a tall building rising from the ground, suddenly rising from the ground.
While everyone was vigilant, a huge LED screen suddenly lit up on the mountainside, and a string of red letters floated across:
[Western Assault Base wishes an early year to everyone at the base in City D! I wish you all good health, go forward bravely, and be invincible! 】
This series of coquettish operations has confused everyone. And what happened next, the people of City D felt that the whole world was extraordinarily magical.
The mountain opened a door, yes, it was a hole from the inside, and two people came out.
Lao Jiaohe, who was sitting in the front line, checked the other party's identity and confirmed that the other party was indeed the two top leaders of the Western Assault Base. He was puzzled and received the other party with the rest of the citizen representatives who had just rushed over.
The other party asked for a large amount of supplies and weapons as soon as they opened their mouths, and they were extraordinarily bold in their actions. The crystal cores were pulled by truckloads of truckloads. When asked why so many supplies were exchanged, the other party smiled frankly:
"It's nothing, just go north to attack the base in City A."
The representatives of the citizens thought they heard it wrong, but they did not expect the other party to reiterate:
"You heard me right, we are going to attack City A! This rubbish thing is harming our base every day. They think that the distance between the two bases is far away, and we have nothing to do. Hehe, we are not vegetarians, so we simply put the whole The base has been transformed into a mobile fortress, and in a few days, we will rush to the base in City A to beat it!"
The two young leaders of the assault base spoke with the arrogance unique to young people, full of optimism and positivity. It makes the representatives of the citizens here feel ashamed.
Without hesitating for too long, everyone agreed to the other party's deal, and temporarily lent the second "power display" that was just delivered today to the other party at a loss.
"I see that you have fallen out with City A, and you should know what kind of bullshit virtue City A is. When we get to the face of City A, we will beat you back even for what we helped you!" In less than half a day, the transaction was successfully completed. , the other party said goodbye swiftly, and after saying his farewell with pride, he turned and went back to the assault base where the mountain was transformed into a mobile fortress.
Then the mountain drove to the north again in the rumble, and after a while, even the tip of the mountain could not be seen.
In the command office of City D, on the screen of the supernatural monitor, a large group of green dots representing the mountain rushed to the north with the momentum of gods blocking gods and Buddhas, and then disappeared at the edge of the screen. Until the traveling investigation team brought back news and audio materials, as well as some feedbacks between the bases, it was confirmed that there was a base that popped up all of a sudden, came all the way from the west, and fought against the base in City A.
Along the way, the other party spread the dirty news about the base in City A, and the news spread to City D along with the survivors who came to seek refuge, causing shock among the citizens.
Zhao Qinghan also saw Yinhua in the video data brought back by the investigation team. The other party looks like a human, a zombie is not a zombie, the whole person hums unconsciously, the supernatural power is in a riot all the time, even the words have the power to influence people's hearts, holding a handful of very familiar butterflies in his hand/ The knife, with only the whites of the eyes left, is extremely frightening. In the video, the other party is fighting with a large group of zombies with no end in sight.
The investigation team also tried to communicate with the other party, but the man just lowered his voice and shouted "Get out." After many attempts, the investigation team confirmed that the other party had lost the ability to communicate, and his state was like an unconscious person rioting with supernatural powers.
The members of the reconnaissance team had to stand far behind to observe. Later, after the investigation team's investigation all the way, the other party was moving unswervingly to the north, pointing directly at the base in City A, but they were constantly blocked by zombies and supernatural beings on the way. Zhao Qinghan was half happy and half worried. Faced with the inquiries from the other citizen representatives, she sighed and explained the meaning of the other party's actions:
"He's looking for someone."
At this time, in D city's weekly regular town meeting, the representatives of the citizens were discussing the actions of the assault base and that weirdo, and they fell silent for a while. Everyone is looking at each other, considering a topic that has been considered for a long time.
After investigations and inquiries throughout the city, learned that the seemingly peaceful citizens were agitated. Afterwards, the entire town hall secretly passed a revenge plan with unanimous votes. City D was fully prepared for war, transactions with friendly bases became more frequent, and materials in the warehouse gradually piled up rapidly.
Hatred and anger acted as catalysts, and the entire city of D operated with unprecedented efficiency.
