[Modifications and additions at the end of the previous chapter]
Qi Huan looked at Zhao Ziwei with anger and disappointment in his eyes. He hated senior officials and those who thought they were righteous.
He was once abandoned by the base's top brass.
In the first year of living at the Fifth Security Base, food shortage was the biggest problem. In order to improve the base's survival rate, the base wanted to reduce its population.
The top management asked the district management team to start arresting people in every area of the outer base. They arrested people they thought had no fighting ability and asked them to build defenses in the outer base. Many old people, women, and even some children were arrested.
Before Qi Huan came to the base, he was separated from his parents in the apocalypse and lived with his uncle's family. At that time, the district management team wanted to take his aunt away, but later they made excuses and gave gifts to the people in the district management team.
Shengsheng pushed him out and became his aunt's substitute.
Nearly ten thousand people will be taken to the outer layer. Everyone knows that once they reach the outer layer, they will be face to face with the monster.
They had no weapons and no military training, so they were sent out like this.
But the senior management gave a reason that sounded extremely noble:
"We will let future generations remember your sacrifice and dedication. Once the fortifications are completed, the base's 60,000 population will be protected, so your trip is glorious and great!"
Perhaps the original decision made by the high-level officials was right. The built fortifications have protected the base countless times and allowed the people in the base to live peacefully for so long. But of those who went out to build the fortifications, only less than 10% of them came back in the end.
Five hundred people.
Qi Huan was one of them, but he was lucky because he was still a thirteen-year-old child at that time. They were all placed in the innermost positions. As long as the front line of defense was not broken, they would not be attacked by monsters.
attack.
But during that time, Qi Huan couldn't sleep every night because he was afraid of being eaten by monsters in his sleep.
He hates monsters, and he hates the top leaders who made this decision even more.
…
"Not everyone will be willing to sacrifice for the base, we only want to live for ourselves!"
Qi Huan shouted at Zhao Ziwei, "If you want to sacrifice for the base, just go and be the experimental subjects of that night, and exchange the lives of those who want to survive for themselves!"
"Ah Huan, that's not what I meant. Please calm down."
Qi Huan felt that he was very calm now. He looked at Zhao Ziwei, his eyes were colder and more decisive than ever before, and he said: "Vice Captain, I am unwilling to hand over my life to the base. If our choices are different in the future, we will
You can also separate here."
Zhao Ziwei stared blankly, as if he didn't expect Qi Huan to say such a thing.
Zhao Ziwei opened his mouth, a lot of preaching words were stuck in his throat, but in the end he could only sigh and said: "Really... you have already made a decision. I really envy you for being so decisive."
Qi Huan remained silent, and Zhao Ziwei said: "People living in the base can be divided into three categories. One category is those who want to shoulder the responsibility of protecting more human beings. Like the commander and captain, they can protect more people in the base.
There is no way to describe such people as good or bad at the expense of a small number of people. I can only say... Their courage is unparalleled, and their eyes are always looking towards the future, at least in my heart.
of."
Zhao Ziwei looked at Qi Huan and said, "You, Ji Zhan, Jing Sa, and Yu Wu are the second type of people. Compared with the first type of people, your eyes only see what's in front of you. You go to save the people in front of you, and you cherish them."
