Chapter 8: Going Our separate ways
Zhang Jie glanced at Wang Zongchao and put away the sand eagle in his hand. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes and handed one over, saying, "You have strong abilities, but it's better to do as little as possible
Wang Zongchao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't smoke. He usually doesn't smoke or drink. He certainly knew that Zhang Jie wanted him to give up being a useless person like Zeng Rong, but since he had saved someone, he would not regret it.
But he is definitely not a bad person who saves anyone he sees. If he saved Zeng Rong when he went down the stairs before, it was just a small gesture, then he saved him in the zombie group afterwards because Wang Zongchao felt that the person still had some backbone. When he fell behind when going down the stairs, he did not plead for others to take him. After being rescued, he also took the initiative to ask himself to run, not wanting to drag others down. If it weren't for this, although Wang Zongchao wouldn't have had much trouble taking the entire staircase with him, it would have been impossible to save him later.
The biggest difference between him and ordinary people lies in his will. Ordinary people hesitate when they take risks to save others, but after saving someone, they realize that they have paid too much or regret saving someone else. But Wang Zongchao is different. He either doesn't do anything at all, but instead, he puts all his effort into risking his life to do it.
Everyone's faces didn't look good, just the zombies made their hearts almost jump out of their chests, and thinking about the even more terrifying five thousand times more terrifying crawlers (as can be seen from the reward points), their heartbeat had a tendency to stop. Zhang Jie saw that several people had already regained their breath and took out a few cigarettes to share with Zheng Zha and Mou Gang. Li Xiaoyi suddenly quit, as if to show his composure, saying, "Brother Zhang, give me one too
Zhang Jie gave him a disdainful look and said, "Little brat, are you still learning to smoke like others? Don't think I can't smell it. Besides the smell of milk, you still have a little bit of smoke on you? Just stay here and follow us if you don't want to die." Li Xiaoyi was scolded speechless, and Mou Gang comforted him by touching his head and saying, "Kid, you better be honest." Li Xiaoyi impatiently opened his hand, and everyone was amused by them.
Zhan Lan whispered, "We should consider ourselves safe now. Later, the seven of us proposed to stay behind, and they shouldn't strongly oppose it. If we endure until the end of time, we will be truly safe
Zhang Jie nodded and said, "You're right, but you're a bit wrong. The number of people left behind is six, not seven." After speaking, he pointed to the chubby guy Zeng Rong and said, "You can't stay
Upon hearing these words, Zeng Rong blushed and his neck became thick.
Just because you were bitten and scratched by multiple zombies all over your body! "Zhang Jie sneered, as he spoke and played the heavy Desert Eagle in his hand, his threatening intent overflowing in his words.
Then he continued, "You definitely can't wait until the T-virus outbreak to return to the main god space. Instead of letting you and us blow you up when you become a zombie and implicate others, it's better for you to leave with the mercenaries now
Zeng Rong was suddenly stunned, and Zhan Lan couldn't bear it. She whispered, "Actually, there is a T-virus antidote on the platform. You can get the antidote by following the mercenaries back. This is also your only way out
Zeng Rongmo remained silent, just panting heavily, while Wang Zongchao had already spoken coldly.
They clearly want to abandon you, why do you have to shamelessly squeeze together with others like quails? Don't you even have the courage to make your own way
Upon hearing Wang Zongchao's words speak frankly, Zheng Zha, Mou Gang, and others all showed embarrassment. As ordinary citizens, they are still quite resistant to the act of sending someone to death, but they cannot let him stay. Apart from not being able to save him, the key is that it will still harm themselves.
Hahaha... "Zeng Rong suddenly burst out laughing wildly, tears streaming down his face. Then he let out a loud cry and stood up, saying fiercely," Not bad, except for Brother Wang, I know you guys have long disliked me. I can't stand up to everyone! Now, even if someone begs me to stay, I won't stay! What is a zombie? I'm so fat, I can crush it to death
Who would beg you to stay? "Almost everyone thinks so, but in fact, this chubby guy has always given people the feeling that he is just a burden, and even if he hasn't been infected, he has been ignored by others.
But they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, killing their companions was still too challenging their moral bottom line.
At this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door, and the female protagonist's shout came from outside the room: "Open the door! Hurry up and open the door!" Zhang Jie ignored the reactions of the mercenaries and opened the door on his own. The female protagonist and the young man who had talked to Wang Zongchao squeezed in in in embarrassment. The zombies behind reached out their hands and held them unwillingly, like a group of evil spirits trying to pull people back to hell. Zhang Jie fired several shots at their arms with a sand eagle, causing their arms to separate directly from their bodies. Then he fiercely closed the door and isolated these disgusting guys outside.
At this moment, all the mercenaries gathered around, and Matthew took the lead in asking, "How's it going outside? Can we still take the road we came from
The female protagonist shook her head and said, "There are those ghostly things everywhere outside. They are waiting for us on that road, and it's impossible for them to make it through
The order we received is to bring back the Flame Queen motherboard and seal off the entire passage between the beehive and the outside world. Do you remember the passage between the building and the beehive? If we can't get back there within three hours, then the entire passage between the building and the beehive will be sealed off... Umbrella, who deserves to die, I finally understand why there was such an order. It turned out to be for those ghosts scattered all over... "Matthew shouted in a low voice, his mood now terrible.
The villain Ryan, with a flustered expression, spoke loudly, "No, they can't do this. Are they planning to bury us alive here
Wang Zongchao shook his head as he listened, "Is this guy being brainless in countries that promote human rights? To cover up something and make certain people disappear or die, these are simply tactics used by the upper echelons
Everyone listened to their conversation about finding a way out and had their own thoughts. Zhang Jie pinched his cigarette and poked it hard on the ground, saying, "If someone designs me like a protective umbrella, I don't mind killing him first
Looking at the other person's murderous gaze, Wang Zongchao smiled lightly and said, "Don't take it so seriously. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later. When we face death, any aspect of human nature will be infinitely magnified. Whether it is strength, belief, positive or negative, these will all appear, and they are the most real manifestations. If you take these too seriously, you cannot face them with a calm heart. People who lose their composure are difficult to survive on the battlefield. I think you should understand this truth
Zhang Jie snorted but remained silent. It's as if I accepted his words and remembered the past.
The female protagonist is indeed a very decisive person, no longer making meaningless arguments about the current situation. She picked up the bag containing the Flame Queen and walked into the computer room. It seems that the main computer needs to be restarted. Except for Wang Zongchao and the rest of the group, everyone went into the computer room with her,
Taking advantage of the gap when those people have left, Zhan Lan said, "Let's discuss how to persuade them to let us stay later
A few people gathered together and carefully considered what they were going to say. In fact, there is not much to explain, the more you say, the more likely you are to make mistakes. So the reasons they came up with are very simple and difficult for the other party to find flaws.
They quickly finished their discussion, but Wang Zongchao suddenly spoke up, "Then I wish the five of you a smooth return to the main god space, and by the way, say goodbye first
Everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant.
Wang Zongchao raised his broken right arm, and the gauze covering the wound not only leaked a little liquid, but also splattered a lot of black stained blood.
Is it zombie blood? "Everyone immediately realized what this meant.
The infectivity of T virus is extremely strong, and it has even developed into airborne transmission in the late stage of biochemistry. Although it is not as severe at present, if you drink water containing T virus or if your wound is contaminated with T virus pollutants, it is basically impossible to avoid infection. Like those corpses soaked in water containing T-virus and those bitten by zombies.
You have already completely burned and closed the wound before, and the gauze contains medical alcohol and other drugs that can effectively disinfect and kill bacteria. It should not be... "Zhan Lan quickly spoke up to advise, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, especially considering that Wang Zongchao, who had already been injured, might become a zombie. That's all. Thinking about his terrifying combat power, once he became a stronger vengeful evil god or something
The word 'should' is used well! Truly a writer. Although the probability of infection is not high, it is not completely impossible, "Wang Zongchao replied with a hint of humor.
Brother Wang caused this just to save me. Even if he turns into a zombie and eats me now, I will admit it. Whoever wants to reject him, just come at me! "Mou Gang looked at the Desert Eagle in Zhang Jie's hand, with obvious hesitation in his eyes, but still gathered the courage to stand up.
Wang Zongchao smiled and pressed him down, saying, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't leave because I might have been infected with the T-virus. I wasn't forced to leave by you either. May I ask, if I want to stay, who can stop me
What he said is true. Although Zhang Jie's sand eagle posed a threat to him, in close proximity, it was mostly Zhang Jie himself who died. During the rescue of Mou Gang and in the laser channel, his ability to dodge bullets was fully exposed.
The reason why I don't want to stay is because your approach is to completely rely on the defense system of the Flame Queen. Once she wants to kill you or runs out of energy, you, surrounded by a large number of zombies and crawlers, will definitely not escape death!
According to the plot, these characters ultimately managed to escape from the hive with their own strength. If they can do it, I can definitely do it too When saying this, Wang Zongchao's tone did not have any exuberance or excitement, but rather carried a natural calmness.
Isn't it true? The power of lasers is evident to all. As long as we stay in the control room of the Flame Queen, she will actively eliminate zombies and crawlers to protect herself, "Zhan Lan persuaded again. She still had a good impression of this iron man, and she knew that if he could survive, it would be of great help to her. In comparison, the risk of him becoming a zombie was very small and worth taking.
My fate is determined by me, not by heaven... Even if heaven cannot decide my life and death, how could I entrust my life to an intelligent program? Even if it is a way of life, I will choose to rely on my own hands to fight for it! "Wang Zongchao's resolute words made Zhan Lan unable to continue. She realized that the man in front of her was definitely beyond her imagination, and they were not originally from the same world.
She couldn't help but think of a sentence in her heart - dragons don't live with snakes!
At the moment when the atmosphere was deadlocked, the mercenaries walked out, and Wang Zongchao and a few others exchanged a glance and welcomed each other.
Zhang Jie spoke to Ma Xiudao, who was walking ahead, "Except for Wang Zongchao and Zeng Rong, the five of us will stay
Matthew was taken aback by these words for a while before saying, "What do you mean? There's no time for jokes now." He was about to explain the arrangements to them, but he didn't expect them to leave at all.
Wang Zongchao spoke up, "Apart from my combat effectiveness still being retained and being able to walk with you, they are prepared to defend here. You probably already know that the four of them are just ordinary people. It is basically impossible for them to keep up with your pace, following you will only drag you down! And Zhang Jie must also stay behind to protect them.
As for Zeng Rong, he must immediately go out and obtain the antidote from the company, otherwise he will also be like those zombies
Matthew fell silent for a moment, while Zhanlan interjected, "Captain, everyone, you all know our physical fitness. We can't keep up with your pace if we run away all the way. Instead of becoming those zombie monsters, Captain doesn't think that letting us stay here quietly and wait for the follow-up rescue troops that may still arrive is the only way for us to survive, is it? If Captain still insists on letting us follow up and die, then I have nothing to say
Matthew helplessly said, "Okay, I understand. Kaplan, turn on the defense system of that laser channel and you can stay inside, after all, it's the safest place. Keep waiting hard, and if we're not dead yet, we'll report your situation to the company... Even if they want to abandon you, we'll try our best to reveal everything here to the outside world, so that they have to send a rescue team under pressure
Zhang Jie and a few others walked into the server room, and Kaplan silently activated the defense system. The atmosphere among the mercenaries was also very low. Alice asked Philip next to her, 'Do you think they can survive?' Philip shook his head, didn't say anything, and didn't know whether to say no or not.
Both sides looked at each other through the window, with a sense of farewell in their eyes. Watching Wang Zongchao and the mercenaries finally leave, Zhang Jie spoke with a stern tone: "See, if it weren't for Wang Zongchao's insistence on trying to save people, as the strongest fighter, how could he have become the earliest to die
It seems that in his eyes, Wang Zongchao, who may have been infected with the T virus and needs to face the crawlers, is already a dead person!
