Zhang Shiqing understood. He looked at Tang Mingzhong and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you."
Tang Mingzhong waved his hand: "Don't thank me in a hurry, and you can't be idle for the next week. Since you said you are here to help us, we will arrange tasks for you, and these tasks have certain requirements.
It’s dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared in advance.”
Zhang Shiqing nodded: "This is what it should be."
"And...what's going on with your daughter? Can she attack with her mouth?" Tang Mingzhong asked.
Zhang Shiqing was stunned when he heard this. He thought that this matter would be ignored, but it seems that what is supposed to come will come. He touched his nose and said: "I don't know the details... but I found my girl in the first place.
At that time, she had learned to use her voice to protect herself... At first, she just knocked out those who tried to approach or hurt her. Later, she became more and more skilled in mastering this power, and its power became more and more amazing... But
The consumption on her body is also increasing...killing several infected people with one mouth like last night basically exhausted my girl's strength..."
"Well...that's it." Tang Mingzhong was about to say something but hesitated. He looked at Zi Zixin, who understood and said, "Can you let me talk to Zhang Miao alone?"
Zhang Shiqing hesitated when he heard this... In fact, Zhang Shiqing was already very worried when Tang Mingzhong and the nine of them met and talked alone before, and now Zhang Miao and Ye Zixin were left alone...
"Well... it's okay... but the girl can't accept any more stimulation. She is still a child after all... her willpower... is probably not that strong, so... please don't deliberately tease her anymore.
." Zhang Shiqing said to Zi Xin.
Ye Zixin nodded: "Well, I have a sense of discretion."
Although he got Zi Zixin's promise, Zhang Shiqing still looked a little worried.
…
"Don't be afraid. I called you here today not to test you, but to give you something." When Zi Xin joined Zhang Miao again, the little girl was obviously more afraid of Zi Xin than before.
But after listening to Ye Zixin's words, she cast a confused look.
Ye Zixin smiled slightly and took out something from behind like a magic trick.
"Dang-dang-dang! Look, what is this?" Ye Zixin took out something similar to a mask, but the material looked like it was a composite metal wire braid.
Zhang Miao shook her head.
Zi Zixin took the thing closer and explained: "This is a mask I asked a very skillful uncle to work on for you overnight. It can help you improve your concentration and help you overcome those things in your body faster."
It's something that I can't completely resist now." After saying that, Zi Xin handed the thing into Zhang Miao's hands.
Zhang Miao took it over and looked at it doubtfully and then tried to put it on, but she failed after trying several times.
Upon seeing this, Ye Zixin immediately reached out to help her.
As a result, Zhang Miao immediately took several steps back alertly like a kitten that had been electrocuted, and at the same time made a warning sound of "Woo-Woo" at Ye Zixin.
Seeing this, Ye Zixin stopped approaching. She said softly: "Relax, I won't hurt you, and you won't hurt me, right?"
There was some panic and anger in Zhang Miao's eyes, and it took a while to calm down.
It can be seen that even though Zhang Miao can restrain herself from biting people now, she is still very resistant to contact with people...except her father.
Finally, Zhang Miao finally put on the weird mask after fumbling for a while.
Rather than a mask, it is more like a multi-functional mask that only covers Zhang Miao's small face. Zhang Miao's breathing slowed down a lot after wearing it, and at the same time, this thing is fit and breathable.
There was no conflict between sex. Zhang Miao just fumbled around on the mask gently and found the switch that turned it on automatically.
In this way, Zhang Miao can still use her own voice to kill enemies.
After all, they are still children at heart, and all emotions will come and go quickly. Zhang Miao, who was wary of Zi Xin a second ago, is now smiling at her. It can be seen that she likes this thing very much.
Zi Xin let out a long breath. She understood Zhang Miao's thoughts and said, "It's best if you like it, but next, my sister will train you alone and then ask you to complete an important task. You have to
Be mentally prepared in advance.”
Zhang Miao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Zi Xin with a bit more resentment. He probably realized that the adult world contains too many transactions. But in general, Zhang Miao still had a good impression of Zi Xin, and Zi Xin also
He is the person Zhang Miao is closest to besides his father.
That night.
Tang Mingzhong, Tang Xuanzhou and two other militiamen took Yin Cai, Zhuge Xiangping and others to the southern district to search for supplies and check the conditions of each blockade area. Their trip was for training in battle, and the main purpose was to inspect these several
The true combat strength of the "to-be-examined" personnel who have recovered from infected people and become ordinary people.
After six hours of patrolling one night, Tang Mingzhong and Tang Xuanzhou were quite satisfied with the final result, even a little surprised.
Especially this guy Yin Cai.
He looked gentle and gentle, but the decisiveness and ruthlessness he showed in actual combat made even Tang Mingzhong feel ashamed. At the same time, perhaps benefiting from the infected alienation, these four people had better strength, endurance, and perception.
They are far superior to ordinary people in other aspects. At least Tang Xuanzhou does not feel that he can be an opponent to any of them after disarming the mechanical exoskeleton. After a short period of training in their hands, thermonuclear weapons have become a big killer, and their learning
He is extremely capable and well-educated. He never asks any unnecessary questions, and his execution ability is even comparable to that of Tang Mingzhong's previous team members.
All this made Tang Mingzhong both surprised and overjoyed. After all, having such a new force was really helpful to them.
At the same time, Ye Zixin, Aunt Zou and nurse Tong Feitong also took father and daughter Zhang Shiqing and Zhang Miao to a special area for a simulation exercise that night.
This is also an important part of the secret mission that Zi Zixin mentioned.
…
"There are seven groups of switches here, each group is managed by two identity certificate codes. The management code must be inserted at the same time to turn on one group of switches. However, after one group of switches is turned on, the other six groups of switches must be turned on within fifteen minutes.
Only in this way can we finally complete the opening of the target gate. One of the difficulties we are facing now is that three sets of switches and seven sets of voucher codes are lost in the center of the North District. Most of the places there have collapsed, and the only passage into the central area is extremely
It's so small that none of us adults can get in... So..." At the end, Ye Zixin's meaning was very clear. She looked at Zhang Miaodao: "So, we plan to train you to enter as our warrior.
Go to the occupied North District Core Management Center, get the code, and then turn on the switch according to the instructions, and finally open the target door."
Zhang Miao was shocked when she heard this, and she immediately looked at her father asking for help.
As a father, Zhang Shiqing showed embarrassment in his eyes after hearing such a plan. He asked softly: "Miss Ye, may I ask...what is the target gate you just mentioned? Why take such a big risk to open it?"
Ye Zixin just said: "I can't tell you this yet, because it involves important secrets of the shelter, but what I can assure you is that as long as the door is opened, there is no chance that the survivors in our entire shelter will survive.
Sexuality will be greatly improved."
Zhang Shiqing was still hesitant after hearing this, and asked again: "Then...will there be many infected people in the occupied North District?"
Ye Zixin replied: "There must be infected people, otherwise we would have arranged for a child who is similar to Zhang Miao among our survivors to go there. However, judging from the reconnaissance results of the drone we sent, because at that time
The North District is the area farthest from the infection outbreak point. In addition, there were several explosions there at that time, and many passages were blown up. Therefore, the current number of infected people in the North District is very small, especially the codes we have already discovered.
Very few infected people have been found in the branch area."
Zhang Shiqing nodded. He quietly held Zhang Miao's hand. After weighing it for a while, he knelt down and looked at his daughter and said, "Miaomiao, dad doesn't want you to risk your life, but maybe all this is destined. We have to
Atone for the mistakes you have made... But dad doesn’t want to make a decision for you... If you don’t want to go, dad won’t force you at all, okay?”
Aunt Zou heard clearly from the sidelines. Her eyes changed, but she didn't say anything.
Zhang Miao looked at her father. After a while, she nodded seriously and said a vague "hmm".
Zi Zixin understood what Zhang Shiqing meant. She looked at Zhang Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, what do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Miao looked at Ye Zixin, clenched and then relaxed her fists and said, "I'll go..."
Although her voice was hoarse, this was the first time Zhang Miao spoke again since she was infected. Not only was Ye Zixin stunned, but Zhang Shiqing's eyes were also filled with tears of excitement.
He kept his daughter, crying and laughing: "My good daughter! It's dad who's sorry for you... It's dad who's sorry for you."
Zhang Miao's mood was much calmer than that of her father. After wiping away her tears for her father, she fell back into her usual state of silence. Ye Zi was pleased to see that Zhang Miao agreed to participate in the action, so she stopped wasting time.
In the next few hours, Zizixin mainly described to Zhang Miao what the voucher codes that were lost in the North District looked like, and how to verify that these voucher codes were what they needed.
In addition, the head-mounted real-life AR simulator is used to let her walk in the simulated North District first to familiarize herself with the environment there, and then mark the target switch position for her and mark the route for her, so that she can accurately follow the route map in order.
Find and turn on the switch.
After the first day of training, Ye Zixin took Zhang Miao and Tong Fei to collect some blood with the consent of Zhang Shiqing and Zhang Miao. These blood samples were very precious, and the risk factor during the collection process was also very high.
Gao. After all, no one can guarantee whether the blood of Zhang Miao and others is still infectious at this time.
Fortunately, the process of collecting blood samples went smoothly, Zhang Miao was very cooperative throughout the process, and Tong Fei did not experience any abnormalities during the collection process.
However, Tong Fei will not take these blood samples back to the shelter. Instead, he will follow Aunt Zou and two other soldiers overnight to a fallen laboratory on the side of the confluence area for blood sample analysis and research.
Early the next morning when nine people were temporarily resettled.
Like training new recruits, Tang Xuanzhou woke up the nine people who were still sleeping soundly in the room in the shelter. However, the morning tasks and training were not prepared for all nine people. Zhang Shiqing, Zhang Shiqing, who had already worked hard all night yesterday,
Father and daughter Miao and Yin Cai can continue to sleep, while the other three will follow Tang Xuanzhou to the Southern District to try to replenish clean fresh water for the shelter.
This is a job that is not very risky, but very hard.
Affected by the outbreak of infection, the southern area that could have been reached directly via the shelter's axis mast became the other side where Tang Xuanzhou and others now had to "walk through mountains and rivers" for nearly ten kilometers.
The bridge connecting the four areas is the hardest-hit area where infected people gather. Even if the bridge is not broken, they would not dare to walk.
Fortunately, the East District is next to the North District, and the peripheral passages of the North District are very clean. There are no infected people. As long as they are lucky, they should be able to come back before lunch.
This mission was carried out by Tang Xuanzhou and two other soldiers from the shelter, together with Gong Xingyu, Han Dadong and Wen Jing. Along the way, Tang Xuanzhou was quietly observing and recording the temperament and status of Gong Xingyu.
Gong Xingyu is a real dull gourd. He has not spoken a word to him since he followed Zhang Shiqing to live outside the shelter. Most of the time, he gave short answers with "um" or "ok", or remained silent.
Being a little transparent is really not very likable.
Of course, after all, this brother was a member of the special service team before, and his combat quality alone was definitely above that of Tang Xuanzhou, so Tang Xuanzhou was relatively polite to him.
Han Dadong is an optimist with a loud voice. It is hard to imagine that when he was infected before, he actually became a false slave who could only live in the darkness. He is also the only one among the nine people who is currently willing to talk to Tang Xuanzhou and others about his feelings and experiences when he was infected.
energetic person.
Regarding Han Dadong's memory, after being infected, he was particularly afraid of light and noise, but he could hear many sounds that were impossible to hear in the past, such as the heartbeat of normal people beating violently due to fear or excitement.
But that kind of sound sounded like noise to Han Dadong. At first, he tried his best to restrain himself and endure it as much as possible, but in the end, he still killed people like other false slaves living in darkness...
Han Dadong himself said: "I have never thought of doing bad things in my life... Even though I am big, I don't seem to be that easy to get in touch with... But I usually like small animals, the elderly and children the most... The security administrator wanted me to be a
A member of the security team, but I still chose to stay in the community... I didn't expect... I actually became a murderer... I actually... killed someone..."
Han Dadong was in great pain when he said the last words. No one knew what kind of battle between heaven and man he went through before he finally came to the light again.
Tang Xuanzhou didn't know whether he should comfort this tall man who was 1.9 meters tall.
However, the girl named Wen Jing took the initiative to come over to comfort him, and Han Dadong got slightly better.
He added: "I don't expect any forgiveness... I just think that if I can still wake up, I will use my life to make compensation as much as possible... As for whether I will be punished in the future, I don't care.
I don’t care anymore.”
Tang Xuanzhou frowned and said, "What you said is too decadent, right? Don't you want to forget all this and return to a normal life?"
Han Dadong unexpectedly smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't want to think about it anymore, it's all a wishful thinking... It's not like we don't have self-awareness, my hands are stained with so much blood... Even if it's not the expression of my true will, I still remember it... Even if
You can forgive me, but after everything is over, I will not forgive myself."
Tang Xuanzhou was speechless, but think about it... This is called "loneliness of consciousness" in psychology, and it mostly appears in some disaster survivors. Although these survivors were eventually rescued, they committed many crimes in their lonely survival process.
Mistakes will accompany and torment them throughout their lives... Many psychiatrists can only relieve the pain of patients through drugs. However, most of the time, if they cannot get out of this shadow in a short time, the patients will eventually resort to extreme methods such as suicide.
Come and seek spiritual liberation.
However, this was the first time we had been out together and everyone's mood was so low. Tang Xuanzhou didn't agree.
He rolled his eyes at Han Dadong and said, "Excuse me, why are you so pretentious when you look at a tall and thick man? I'll tell you this, live a good life and don't think about it, do you hear me?"
Han Dadong was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice: "Okay, we understand."
As for Wen Jing, who is more than a year younger than Tang Xuanzhou, as her name suggests, she is surprisingly quiet. But from her mouth, Tang Xuanzhou learned that she was an eater before she got rid of the persecution of the infection... and she seemed to be forever trying to satisfy herself.
She has an endless desire to eat and has eaten a lot of disgusting things.
This caused her to vomit whatever she ate after she returned to normal. No wonder Tang Xuanzhou hadn't seen this girl eating in the past two days. However, Tang Xuanzhou's attitude towards her was similar to that towards Han Dadong, telling her not to think wildly and to be good.
alive.
But once people are free, it is impossible not to think wildly, so Tang Xuanzhou found various things for them to do along the way. Although this made Han Dadong and Wen Jing have some opinions on Tang Xuanzhou, Tang Xuanzhou didn't care, he just wanted to obey
Just complete the task smoothly and get clean drinking water.
Before they knew it, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the South District.
The searchlights used to defend the position here were still on, but the bodies on the ground were all gone. Seeing this scene, Tang Xuanli immediately reminded everyone: "Be careful, the area around here may not be clean."
Everyone got very energetic after hearing this.
Although Han Dadong is the tallest, he is the timidest among the six.
