The breeze blows, and the fluttering dead leaves are flying in all directions, adding a bit of sadness to the already desolate mountain forest.
Since it was winter and there were no flowers, Wei Yang, Zhao Lina and Demi folded a few bouquets of flowers by hand using paper.
Although it is far from a real bouquet, under such harsh conditions, it is still enough to express your feelings.
Lao Xu placed flowers on the coffin on behalf of everyone, and then spoke on behalf of everyone: "Shen Lian, you have been with me for more than ten years from joining the army to joining the sharp knife company. You are a qualified soldier and a good brother of Xu Renjie. , I will give you the last order now, I hope you are over there..." His voice was choked, and Lao Xu adjusted for a few seconds before continuing:
"I hope you will live a good life there and don't worry about things here. We will still be comrades in arms in the next life, brother!!"
After saying that, Lao Xu stepped aside, and the team members stepped forward one after another to mourn: "Brother, it was a good journey. Brother, I brought you your favorite drink, Lao Baigan, please have some."
Wenquan Xin opened the specially prepared white wine and sprinkled some on the ground.
"Lianzi, you still have cigarettes, come on!" Wu Chao took out the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and placed it next to the mound.
"Brother Shen, I brought you some peanuts. You can make them as a snack." Du Jiancheng placed the peanuts on a small plate and put them over.
"Don't worry about this, we'll be fine."
"Brothers have already helped you deal with the people who harmed you, so you can go in peace."
Even the little briquette seemed to have sensed what was happening in front of him, and stood beside the coffin with an expression on his face, squatting on the ground, standing solemnly.
After everyone finished their instructions, Lao Lin stepped forward and presided over the meeting: "Let's all observe 30 seconds of silence for Shen Lian."
After the words fell, everyone retreated consciously and formed a circle around the coffin.
Everyone lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and prayed devoutly for their deceased brothers.
These thirty seconds passed very slowly, so slowly that the team members didn't want him to pass.
They had so many things they wanted to say to Shen Lian and pray for Shen Lian.
But there is no eternal banquet in the world, and time is not subject to human will.
After thirty seconds of praying, Lao Lin took the shovel and handed it to Lao Xu.
"Old Xu, let's do it."
Xu Renjie glanced at the shovel handed in front of him, took a deep breath and nodded.
He immediately stepped forward, scooped up a handful of soil from the mound, and threw it down into the deep pit.
Followed by the remaining team members, one after another, no one threw dirt.
In the end, four sharp knife company soldiers, Lao Xu, Hua Biao, Duan Chengwu, and Lei Tong, completed the landfill work.
After everything was done, Wenquan Xin took the tombstone that he had worked on overnight and piled it with soil to stabilize it.
At this point, the project to bid farewell to Shen Lian came to an end.
On the way down the mountain, the team members looked very sad.
Everyone seemed to have lost their way, walking very slowly like zombies.
Undoubtedly, it will take some time for the team members to digest Shen Lian's death.
When we get down to the mountains, the first ray of sunshine slowly rises on the horizon in the distance, and the red color of the morning glow brings some warmth to this cold winter.
This is just like reality, some people are destined to leave us, but life must go on.
Shen Lian is gone, but the journey of the survivor team still has to go on.
This is not just for themselves, but also for the deceased family members and friends who have been with them along the way.
Their lives are not just their own, they were paved for them by their deceased brothers.
So no matter what situation they encounter, no matter how difficult they encounter, the survivor team must face it bravely and live well.
Because only in this way can we be worthy of the souls of those who have died.
Back in the village, Lao Zhao knew that it was not convenient for the team members to talk at this time and that they needed time to adjust to their psychological misery.
So he didn't greet anyone, and at the same time he had already told the remaining team members not to disturb the brothers down the mountain.
It seemed like this lasted for half an hour, but it was Lao Xu who was the first to break the deathly silence.
He called the players to his side through the handstand.
After receiving the signal, everyone rushed around to spread the word, and soon they all gathered in the village chief's room.
Looking at the team members gathered in front of him, Lao Xu didn't say a word. Although there was still a gloomy look on his face, he still spoke concisely and went straight to the point: "We already said yesterday that killing zombies outside is a big problem, whether it is to reclaim wasteland in the future. Farming, or bacterial infestation in the summer, all indicate that we must clean them up. Considering the number of zombies, everyone knows that it is not a small number, and it will be a big project to deal with. So this will cost us some time. "
"It's nothing, Lao Xu. What we are most in need of right now is time!" Wei Dazhuang's words were quite true.
"Yes, Lao Xu, just tell us what we should do." Yue Guishan geared up.
"Well... In this way, we will gradually advance from the village head, and the transported corpses will be piled on the truck. During the operation, I must emphasize that everyone must pay attention to safety. Before the actual operation of each corpse, it is necessary to confirm whether the animal is dead. Prevent them from cheating to death!"
Although the team had spent three days checking the zombie corpses on the ground, after all, there were nearly a thousand zombies.
With such a huge base of zombies, even if the survivor team does their best to investigate, it is difficult to ensure that no fish will slip through the net.
There was no way, the zombies fell to the ground in various positions, some were stacked up, some were three or four, and there were more than ten.
It is difficult for the team members to cover everything and ensure that every zombie is investigated.
And this brings a lot of hidden dangers to the subsequent transportation and cleanup. If the transportation team is not careful and unfortunately encounters such residual zombies, then...
This kind of thing is very likely to happen, because such repetitive handling work is boring and tedious, and team members can easily suffer from symptoms such as loss of concentration and reduced awareness of precautions after repeated work for a long time.
But these are precisely the situations that are most likely to lead to tragedy.
In addition, the team members had just finished Shen Lian's funeral and were in a very low mood, which increased the possibility of accidents.
This is the fundamental reason why Xu Renjie emphasizes the precautions so frequently.
"Baochun, please drive the car outside."
"Lao Zhao, Li Zhong, Li Guo, and Wu Chao, the four of you are stationed at home. Lao Yue, Xiao Wen, you two go back and rest. The others all go out to carry the bodies."
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Wenquan Xin and Yue Guishan gestured inexplicably: "Old Xu, what about us? Why do we have to go to rest?"
Lao Xu looked as normal and replied calmly: "You guys didn't sleep all night last night, so don't participate in today's mission. Go back and rest as soon as possible."
"But Lao Xu, I'm very excited now and can't sleep." Wenquan Xin persisted.
Lao Xu waved his hand: "If you can't sleep, just stay in the village. This is an order. Okay, everyone, let's go." (To be continued.)
