"How about joining us as a temporary special forces team?”Commissar Lin's invitation made Lin Jian and the others unable to react for a moment. In the past few days, they had been struggling to survive. They were already very satisfied to be able to survive. Who would have thought that they would be invited by the army? However, if they agreed to Commissar Lin's request, it meant that they would have to continue fighting the zombies and live on the edge of the blade at any time. Dancing on the tip of a knife, who could guarantee that he would be safe forever?
"Alright, even if it's difficult to decide for the time being, you should come back with us first. After all, this isn't a safe place.”Seeing the hesitation of the young men, Commissar Lin smiled. "This is our last day here. Since morning, there have been no refugees fleeing to the Three Rivers Estuaries.”
"The last day?" Lin Jian suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and asked,"Officer Lin, have you been stationed here for three days?”
"Hehe, don't be so formal. Just call me Uncle Lin! That's right. We've been guarding this place since the zombie outbreak.”Commissar Lin smiled and waved his hand.
"Then why was the Xingyuan Bay Bridge blown up?”Lin Jian's eyes looked straight at Political Commissar Lin. "Compared to here, Jianning University only has one passage leading to the city. You should know what blowing up the Xingyuan Bay Bridge means to the students of Jianning University!”
" Sigh..." Commissar Lin was stunned and then sighed."So, you guys escaped from Jianning University…It wasn't easy…But, since you came from there, you should have seen the zombies gathered at the bridge, right? Do you think that under such circumstances, you should make a bold decision?”
Lin Jian fell silent. He thought of the beautiful teacher who had left with Du Bing's troops and the beautiful lady who had gone somewhere. He hoped that they were fine…
"Alright, young man, you are very vigilant, but we really have no ill intentions. You're all injured, so it's better to treat them first.”Commissar Lin waved his hand, and a military jeep drove over. "Come with me to our temporary station at the People's Hospital at Sanjiangkou. I'll tell you the details in the car.”
"I'm sorry, Uncle Lin. As their captain, I have to be responsible for everyone's life and death. Please don't take offense just now.”Lin Jian cupped his hands at Political Commissar Lin and turned around to signal for the department belle and the others to get into the car.
"Hahahaha…Interesting young man!”Commissar Lin laughed heartily. "Da Gang, organize our brothers to retreat! Gather the corpses that have not been disposed of and burn them together. Don't leave any food for the zombies!”
"Yes, sir!" Grizzly Bear saluted with his legs together, turned around, and ran toward the temporary defense line at the bridgehead.
"I'm sure you all know that there's a huge zombie crisis in Jianning City. Many innocent people have lost their consciousness due to unknown reasons. Due to the sudden incident, the government was caught off guard. Most of the district governments, the corresponding public security sub-bureau, and the police station had fallen before they could react. Even the soldiers of the people's army were infected and turned into unconscious zombies. This has created a huge difficulty for us to organize the rescue immediately.”
Sitting in the car, Commissar Lin began to introduce the current situation of Jianning City to Lin Jian. Not only was he caught off guard by the zombies, but the strange thing was that when the zombies erupted, all network communications and power signals quickly lost their effectiveness. The situation of the zombies could not be reported to the higher-ups in time, and the equipment that relied on electricity could not be activated. Even most of the high-tech military weapons had become a pile of scrap metal! It was also because of this that when faced with the zombie army that was rapidly gathering into a mountain of corpses, the scattered resistance of the small troops was like a bamboo raft in the sea, quickly swallowed by the surging waves. With the appearance of the mutated zombies, the army was forced into a desperate situation. They had no choice but to give up on attacking the zombies and choose a few strongholds to retreat and wait for reinforcements.
"The military region has sent three messenger hawks to the center, but there has been no response. We have also lost contact with the other local garrisons. After discussing with Commander Du, Deputy Commander Chen, and Political Commissar Xiao, we have decided to deploy defense zones in various areas of Jianning City to accommodate refugees from various areas. The areas echoed each other from afar and formed horns for each other. I was under the protection of Da Gang's special forces team and came to the mouth of the three rivers to contact the troops in this area. On the way, I met a very powerful zombie. My foot was cut off by it.”Commissar Lin touched his empty pants as if he was talking about someone else.
Currently, the entire city center of Jianning had fallen. The zombies there had formed a sea of zombies. Unless they used large weapons, that place was a forbidden area for ordinary people. In addition, due to the large population in the railway station area, it was also a disaster area, which directly caused the transportation to be almost paralyzed. As the suburbs of the city were relatively remote, they could not receive timely rescue and were abandoned early on. Due to the appearance of a large number of mutated zombies, the combat strength of the zombies had also increased greatly. Now, the local garrison only controlled the suburbs between the Second and Third Ring Road.
When Commissar Lin introduced these things, his expression was slightly tired and confused. Losing their intelligence, their weapons, and even their base of support, the soldiers were fighting an unknown enemy based on their instincts. None of them knew what would happen in the next second.
The jeep didn't drive fast on the road without lights. He could vaguely see that the surrounding high-rise buildings were still intact. The road must have been cleaned up. Although there were blood stains all over the ground, there were no more corpses.
"Uncle Lin, do you have an officer called Du Bing?”Lin Jian suddenly asked when he saw the stronghold with a high stone wall in the distance.
"You know Bing 'er?" Hearing Du Bing's name, Political Commissar Lin glanced at Lin Jian in surprise.""She led a team to protect a group of people and crossed the Xingyuan Bay Bridge two days ago. She should be stationed in Dongsheng now!”
"At least we have some 'friendship'." Lin Jian smiled." A few of my friends are inside!”
"That's good! Bing 'er was a good kid, but she was a little arrogant. His father had been worried that she was too reclusive!”Commissar Lin smiled and didn't mind.
As they spoke, the jeep had already arrived at the entrance of the temporary encampment. In order to avoid attracting zombies, there were no lights outside the encampment. The entire station relied on the surrounding buildings to build a five-meter-high " wall " with damaged cement stones, tanks, sandbags, and other things. Loach got down from the passenger seat and raised his flashlight to flash three times at a pit beside the door. The door slowly opened. The jeep started up again and led a small group of soldiers into the temporary encampment.
Passing through the " mixed city wall " was like entering another world. It was different from the chaos that Lin Jian had imagined. The entire temporary station was enveloped in peace and quiet. The men assisted the soldiers in transporting bags of sandbags to the defensive line that needed reinforcement. A small number of energetic young men were training seriously with soldiers who looked like instructors. The women pushed out a large bucket of cooked porridge and distributed it to the people in line. After filling a bowl, they could even get a white steamed bun from the girl next to them. The old people brought their children to sit beside the ruins with small stools. They smashed the broken building debris into pieces and put them into sacks. Everything was so orderly. No one was crying or slacking off.
"Are you surprised?" Commissar Lin glanced at Lin Jian. Loach called over a few women dressed as medics and helped Lao Cai and the others down. In order not to cause panic, Little Tanuki put on a spare military uniform and covered her furry ears and tail.
"A little." Lin Jian thought of the scene in front of the auditorium and frowned.
"Your vigilance is too strong. Of course, in this chaotic world, I can't say that this is a bad thing. I know you must have encountered something bad. But young man, you have to believe that in this world, no one is necessarily a good person, and no one is necessarily a bad person.”Commissar Lin patted Lin Jian's shoulder and pointed at his head.""Everything depends on this place."
"..." Lin Jian was stunned, but Political Commissar Lin had already asked the guards to help him out of the car and into the crowd.
"Political commissar!" Seeing Political Commissar Lin, the people around him consciously made way for him and greeted him with smiles.
"Uncle Lin! Eat some steamed buns!" A little girl ran to him and handed him a steamed bun with a smile.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu! Uncle Lin is not hungry, you eat first!" Commissar Lin smiled and stuffed the steamed bun into the little girl's mouth.
"Lu Zi, bring the brothers down to eat something! I'll take them to the hospital. In addition, ask that girl Yuqi to come over as well.”Commissar Lin turned around and instructed Loach.
"Yes, sir!" Loach gave a military salute.
Although it was a temporary station, it spanned several blocks. Sanjiangkou had been developed quite well. There were residential areas and commercial streets, and everything that should be available was available. All the soldiers and civilians were arranged in an orderly manner. After bypassing the residential area, the People's Hospital finally appeared in front of everyone. The sanctuary that had always felt like a paradise finally revealed the pain it had deeply hidden: Rows of injured people filled the square in front of the hospital. The limited number of medical staff were busy, and most of them were elderly and children who volunteered to help the injured. Everyone's expression was very serious. For the convenience of rescue, the lights were lit up, giving off a tragic atmosphere.
"Go and arrange an independent courtyard for these children.”Commissar Lin instructed one of the medics. Little Tanuki's appearance was too strange. It was better to let them hide. Humans were always afraid of unknown creatures, especially in times of danger. Commissar Lin didn't want to cause unnecessary commotion.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" Lin Jian thanked him sincerely. Whether or not Commissar Lin wanted them to work for him, his care for them was obviously important.
"Take care of your body first!" Commissar Lin waved his hand." I still have other things to do. I won't disturb you for now. There will be specialized personnel coming over to check on you later. You will get better soon!"”With that, Commissar Lin boarded the jeep with the help of the guards.
"Everything is finally over." The department belle heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lin Jianxiao.
" Idiot, this is just the beginning…" Lin Jian stared at the scene before him and gently rubbed the flower's head.
