Just the rotten stench produced has caused such a serious plague.
A large number of soldiers also began to cough. Most of the soldiers were not evolved yet. Ordinary people's bodies have been exposed to the air full of germs for a long time, and their physical fitness has begun to decline significantly...
People are panicked and rumors are spreading.
Many people have rumors that many soldiers tear off some rags, soak them in some water and put them on their faces to use as masks. After a few hours, a layer of brownish-yellow mucus will appear on the leaked masks, which makes them look disgusting.
Get ill.
The panic in their hearts coupled with their physical discomforts, many soldiers also showed signs of fever and illness. Before the zombie wave launched its attack, the interior of the Panshan base was already in chaos.
Not good.
This is really not good.
But the most ominous thing is that even now, the generals at Panshan Base are still arguing endlessly.
"Mr. Wu Ze, please drink the hot soup."
"It's not good for your health to observe the corpse tide here every day. The upper level has prepared a gas mask for you." The guard guarding Wu Ze brought today's meal and took out a biochemical gas mask as a special "care".
Serve.
You must know that the current conditions of Panshan Base can only produce a large number of inferior masks at best. Biochemical gas masks that can purify poison gas and nuclear radiation pollution are so important that only high-level personnel have the right to use them.
"Gas mask??"
Wu Ze smiled lightly and shook his head.
His eyes glanced towards the bottom of the city wall, where soldiers in the ravines were shivering in the cold wind.
From this height and angle, the soldiers were swarming together like ants, with only their cold, dark firearms and boxes of yellow bullet boxes exuding oil stains accompanying them.
Many young people only have a blank look in their eyes.
In the hollow, you can see fear and despair, but more importantly, confusion.
For some reason, Wu Ze felt a chill in his heart. He pushed away his gas mask and jumped down, jumping to a ravine dozens of meters below amid the exclamations of the surrounding soldiers.
"Huh~~"
A soldier rubbed his hands together and breathed in to bring some warmth to ensure that his fingers would not become too stiff.
Snap.
A big hand patted his shoulder.
At some point, Wu Ze appeared silently behind him, with a faint smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Cough cough cough!!"
The soldier almost choked on his own saliva and immediately stood up and saluted with a military salute: "Hello, sir."
Obviously...
He regarded Wu Ze as a certain officer who came to express condolences.
Wu Ze nodded, slipped into the ravine, opened the ammunition box and checked it, and then carefully checked the heavy machine gun that was level with the horizon. As a soldier, he was very familiar with these and was extremely skilled.
The heavy machine gun was disassembled into parts and every detail was inspected.
"Sir, don't worry!!"
"We have inspected all the guns many times and maintained them in strict accordance with regulations. There will be no problems at critical moments."
The soldier looked very nervous, fearing that the commander in front of him would detect any flaws, but he was very confident in his gun. To a certain extent, he spent more time touching it than he did his wife.
"very good."
Wu Ze nodded, the basic quality of these soldiers is still very strong: "On the battlefield, weapons are your life."
"yes!!"
Several soldiers saluted again. They had quite a lot of experience. Although they had never experienced a terrifying large zombie tide, they had encountered small groups of corpses several times.
"I ask a question."
Wu Ze looked at several young soldiers and asked: "Why do you think you are fighting?"
Why fight??
This is a very simple question.
An older soldier immediately replied: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. You must obey any orders given by your superiors!!"
yes.
Obey orders.
Even if you risk your life, even if you are fighting on the front line of the battle, even if you are a person who bears "cannon fodder" like those rotting corpses, you must complete it without hesitation.
"This is not what you really think."
Wu Ze put his hand on another slightly younger soldier: "Tell me the truth."
The truth?
The soldier couldn't tell the truth.
Because he doesn't know why he is staying here, he is just following orders...
In order to obey orders, he must overcome his fear.
In order to obey the order, he must endure cold and hunger here, and be ready to sacrifice at any time.
What is all this for??
At this time, a younger soldier stood up.
His face was full of immaturity and he looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. He would probably still be in junior high school before the end of the world.
This immature soldier seems to be on the battlefield for the first time, but you can see a different light in his eyes, which is not buried by the killing and blood, and is almost pure "childlike innocence."
"Of course it's to protect important people."
"My sister and my former deskmate are all behind this city wall!!"
The boy's childish voice made people tremble, but Wu Ze made fun of him: "My deskmate? You are lucky to have a classmate to survive with you. That deskmate must be a girl, right?"
Hearing what Wu Ze said, the young man's face turned red. Everyone has experienced the period of first love, just like the song "You at the same table", which brought back countless people's beautiful memories of first love.
Although it was his first time on the battlefield, the young man was full of enthusiasm.
He still doesn't quite understand what "obedience to orders is a bounden duty" means, but in this immature body, there is a tough soul to protect his sister and his favorite girl. It is he who appears here and becomes a
The reason for the soldier.
Many people, after experiencing countless killings, have long forgotten what their "original intention" is.
Things are often that simple.
In addition to orders, there are also important things within the city walls that must be protected.
Relatives, lovers, brothers, partners, the girl you like...it can even be a stranger, as long as those things are important to you.
After listening to the young man's words, many veterans on the battlefield saw the confusion in their eyes disappear. Instead, their eyes gradually began to burn with hot fire, as if they were recalling something.
Wu Ze seemed to have heard the answer he wanted.
yes.
Behind the city wall, there are more than resources and more than just the number of lives.
Behind the city wall, there is hope and the most important protection of countless people.
Countless soldiers stand here to protect this soft, fragile, yet extremely tough thing.
They are not like the generals in the conference room, thinking about how to get the maximum benefit, thinking about how to maintain their power, and chattering like flies arguing.
"Thank you for your answer."
"It seems that I have to go to the commander's conference room."
