"By the way, Lao Xu, I just wanted to ask you this."
Look at this thick-skinned person... What did you say? By the way, the most humble person is invincible.
Even a fool can see that the middle-aged man's previous words were his final conclusion.
He had no intention of continuing the conversation.
If that's the case, how can I say "I just wanted to ask you this"?
There is no doubt that the middle-aged people are just following Lao Xu's words.
It was because of Xu Renjie's hint that he had to respond.
"You must have experienced a lot of dangers and disasters during this operation on the court. How are you doing? How are the players doing? Are there any casualties?"
Seriously and with a serious tone, the middle-aged man asked Xu Renjie a question quite formally.
Xu Renjie replied without much thought: "Three team members died during the battle."
Silence, quiet, silence.
The middle-aged man kept quiet in a very show-off manner to create an atmosphere of sadness.
After being silent for more than a minute, when everyone thought there was something wrong with the signal, Lao Xu sighed with a sigh in his hand.
"Alas~" This deliberate sigh of the middle-aged man really came back a thousand times, making him feel angry.
It really vividly portrays the uncontrollable grief and anger of a middle-aged man over the death and injury of his team members.
After lamenting, the middle-aged man continued to act pretentious and said: "I had expected that this operation would not be simple, but I didn't expect it to be so tragic. Three brothers, ah ~ those were three fresh lives, just, just gone. Lao Xu, when the brothers died...did they close their eyes?"
This time it was Xu Renjie's turn to be stunned. To be honest, he had thought that the middle-aged man would ask questions about him and make a show of it, but he never expected that the other party would be so showy.
Can you actually ask if the brothers died with their eyes closed?
"No!" Xu Renjie simply replied as usual.
Nonsense, with an idiot captain like you, it’s strange that the subordinates can rest in peace at the expense of others.
There was another tens of seconds of silence, silence, and silence.
Xu Renjie, who understood what the middle-aged man meant, was not in a hurry. He knew that the middle-aged man was putting on a show, so he just waited quietly.
After a while, the middle-aged man felt that it was almost done. As expected, he lamented again: "Oh~ we are all men. I will keep in mind what the brothers have done for the venue. Although the current venue conditions cannot help. They have done too much. But when the crisis is over in the future, I will definitely find a suitable opportunity to find a place for several brothers to give them a grand burial. I will tell the entire venue about their feat, and I will ask the entire venue to remember them. .”
Middle-aged people are good at saying nice things.
He is very good at putting on airs in front of others.
After talking about the sacrifice of the team members, the middle-aged man immediately changed the subject and turned to Xu Renjie: "Old Xu, listen, I know that the team members sacrificed in the operation, you must have a lot of thoughts, and even blame yourself, right? There was something wrong with me that led to the sacrifice of the team members. Regarding this... I have to tell you a few words. On the battlefield, life and death are important, and no one can avoid this. What's more, the mission you are undertaking today is a narrow escape. It’s a risky thing. No one wants to see a dead person, but it’s something none of us can control. You’ve already shouldered a lot when leading the team, you’ve done a good job, and the set tasks have been completed. You don’t want anything more. Burden. The death of the team members was not caused by you. Do you understand?"
It's still bullshit. Does it matter whether the team member's death concerns Lao Xu?
This in itself should be something you should consider only when you are middle-aged.
This is obviously not what Xu Renjie wants to hear. He wants to hear something more substantial, such as what middle-aged people can do for their dead brothers.
Of course, the other party also said it, but they were all empty words with no guarantee.
Too lazy to continue wasting time with the middle-aged man, Xu Renjie immediately replied: "I understand, captain, I have nothing to do here. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
A middle-aged man doesn't have any orders. If he does, then it's just to tell Xu Renjie to die.
But obviously, a middle-aged man would definitely not say such extreme words.
He took advantage of the situation and continued: "My instructions to you are just one thing. Survive well and bring the team members back. I will wait for you in the venue to cleanse you from the dust and hold a celebration banquet!"
Again, the middle-aged man said it beautifully, but it was really true. If Lao Xu really brought someone back, he might be blind.
Having had enough of middle-aged people talking nonsense like this, Xu Renjie simply said "ok" and unilaterally terminated the contact.
He looked up to the sky and let out a soft breath. Such a command at the stadium stall was really unfortunate for the survivors of the stadium.
Xu Renjie can conclude that even if the gymnasium can escape the crisis this time, it will be over sooner or later for middle-aged people.
Of course these are not things he should consider.
Once this matter is over, Xu Renjie will lead the team to leave without hesitation whenever there is a chance to leave the gym.
He finally understood that sooner or later this place would become a place of right and wrong.
If Xu Renjie had considered moving his family here before, now, after a series of emergencies, Lao Xu has completely given up the idea.
No matter from what point of view, Lao Xu did not think that the gymnasium was a suitable and reliable place to move.
The city defense here is very strong, but everything has advantages and disadvantages.
It is true that the city defense is strong, but this thing has two sides.
A strong city defense can certainly resist zombies, but at the same time, once the gymnasium is besieged by beasts, like today's situation, then the strong city defense can turn the gymnasium into a cage trapping the survivors inside.
Aren't Lao Xu and the others facing this embarrassing situation right now?
But this matter is obviously not what Xu Renjie needs to consider now.
At the moment, he hasn't reached the point where he needs to consider leaving the gym.
At present, he needs to consider the first priority: how to lead the team members out of the target building alive.
According to Guo Laosi's request, Lao Xu also completed his request to talk to the middle-aged man.
Undoubtedly, there was no actual receipt of goods from this call.
Guo Laosi remained silent after listening to all the conversations between Xu Renjie and the middle-aged man.
He was not stupid, so he naturally heard the hollowness in the middle-aged man's words, "he didn't mean what he said."
Although Xu Renjie did not take the initiative to make any request for assistance to the middle-aged man, the problem is that Xu Renjie did not mention that it was Xu Renjie's business, which was fine.
But as the head of the museum, this middle-aged man never mentioned anything about giving them a helping hand during the communication process, and he didn't even ask for relevant information... Doesn't this mean that the middle-aged man ignored their new army? What else can it mean?
Could it be that his empty and useless prayers or the so-called celebration banquet after the triumph could change their current predicament?
Will those besieging zombies outside leave on their own because of his concern and concern as a middle-aged man?
