The words "laowei" are no longer enough to describe Huang Huiyao's appearance at this moment. Was he really wrong?
Lin Zhiyuan died with his most important belief as a soldier. He lived up to his promise and his responsibilities as a warrior.
However, as the god in the hearts of the soldiers, Huang Huiyao did not give him enough trust in the end.
Without the leader rat, the mutant rat group quickly retreated. But the rain didn't stop.
Huang Huiyao led all the soldiers to carry the bodies of the dead soldiers back to the base. People in the base huddled at home because of fear. I didn't even dare to risk my head.
From that day on, Huang Huiyao was bedridden. People in the base said that the leader and his soldiers fought all night against the mutated rats and were overwhelmed and seriously ill.
He is the god in the hearts of all soldiers, but people also forget that he is already an old man who is over seventy years old. God can be a belief, but an old man can fall seriously ill.
There are two reasons for the initial panic in the base.
First, the heavy rain outside has not stopped, which reminds them of the heavy rain period in the previous month. If it happened again, they might have to experience food shortage for a long time.
Second, the leader of the base, Huang Huiyao, the pinnacle of stability in people's hearts, fell down, and it was said that he was in a coma.
The news that Huang Huiyao was terminally ill was told to Su Mi by Chen Jin when he came back.
Chen Jin spent a day and night in the heavy rain. He searched all around the potholes outside the base, but could not find a few pieces of human corpses.
He took the box containing the uneven body parts to the training ground, dug a hole and buried it.
After returning to Su Mi's villa, she went back to the room dripping wet and began to fall asleep.
Qin Hao went into the guest room to see him twice, but he didn't wake up. His body temperature was getting higher and higher after a high fever. Qin Hao first helped him change out of his wet clothes and into clean clothes, then found the medicine box prepared by Su Mi and gave him antipyretic medicine.
But the body temperature still did not go away.
After the rain stopped, Zhang Dingding and others came to Su Mi this time and told them that most of the soldiers who went out to kill mutant rats that day came back and fell down. All the fallen soldiers had high fevers and the antipyretics didn't work anymore.
Su Mi guessed that the rain this time was the same as the previous rain that lasted for a month. After being exposed to the rain, it would cause damage to the human body's immunity.
The soldiers who were caught in the rain were the first to bear the brunt, especially Chen Jin. He had already injured his leg in the Cross-sea Industrial Park, but this time he fell into a fever and fell into a coma after being caught in the rain again.
Su Mi was deeply shocked by Lin Zhiyuan's death, and even more admired these warriors who were not afraid of death when natural disasters invaded. Also, she was afraid that Chen Jin would accidentally lose his life to the disease, so she fed him two bottles of water produced by Space.
Chen Jin also recovered quickly after she forced him to drink two bottles of stream water, and his fever went down the next afternoon.
After waking up, Chen Jin became taciturn and would not come out of the room.
Su Mi went out for a walk before dinner as usual, so that when she came back with some food in her backpack, it would not be easy to be suspected.
But as soon as she walked out today, the atmosphere of the entire base became a little different.
It's not dark yet, and several shops on both sides of the street have closed their doors to thank customers. The gates of the base were also wide open, with only two sick soldiers leaning against the two doors to guard them.
Zhang Yan is one of them.
Su Mi walked over and handed each of them a bottle of water. The two were surprised for a while, and then drank.
Su Mi walked out of the gate of the base. Below the landslide, people in tattered and unkempt clothes were walking among the corpses of mutated rats.
Everyone was picking up the corpse of the larger mutated rat that they had picked out.
Most of these corpses were contaminated with gasoline and burned to death, but some were ignited after touching their burning companions, so some of them did not smell of gasoline.
The people who picked up the mutated rat carcasses were all people from the same bunkhouse. Compared to starvation, the mutated rat carcasses could satisfy them several times.
Su Mi was not interested in these corpses. She came to the broken corpse of the mutated giant rat that had been blown apart, picked up the largest piece, carried it with her bare hands and walked back.
Zhang Yan saw Su Mi leaving with a giant rat corpse. He was still hesitating before suddenly running over and calling her.
"Su Mi, wait."
Su Mi stopped and looked at Zhang Yan behind her, "What's the matter?"
Facing Su Mi's indifferent look and polite tone, Zhang Yan's heart trembled, and the next moment he even changed his title.
"Su, Miss Su, I don't have anything special to say. It's just that the base has been uneasy recently. You should try to come out as little as possible at home."
Su Mi's brows furrowed for only a second, and there was a hint of gentleness in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Yan. "Thanks for reminding."
"I should! I'm going back to stand guard first. People in Tongpu District have become very active recently, so I can't stay away for too long. So...
Thank you for the water. "Water resources are still precious in the base. The water Su Mi gave is still a little sweet. It must not be bottled after boiling the tap water in the base.
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the gate of the base.
Zhang Yan and Chen Jin knew each other. When they first came to the base, it was Zhang Yan and others who received them. On the night of the battle against mutant rats, Su Mi saw Zhang Yan among them.
Tongpu District is on the right hand side a few dozen meters after walking in from the gate. Zhang Yan and another soldier can monitor the situation in Tongpu District while guarding the gate.
People carrying mutated rat corpses from outside the base lined up at the gate, and everyone had to be inspected by Zhang Yan and his two men.
Before the apocalypse, riots may be caused by the gap between the rich and the poor. In the post-apocalyptic society, people living in Tongbu houses are regarded by everyone in the base as unstable factors that can explode at any time, and they are locked up and guarded against.
Just as Su Mi was slowly walking back, a group of people came towards her. They didn't look like soldiers from the base, but more like a group of muscular bodyguards.
With a photo in hand, they started asking questions from the shops on both sides.
"Have you ever seen this person in the photo?"
"No."
"Look carefully again! Don't play tricks on me!"
"No, really not!"
The words and deeds of this group of people were simple and rude, more like bandits than bodyguards. After interrogating the owners of several shops, they casually took a few edible foods from their shops and then went to interrogate the next one.
Su Mi walked not too slowly, but there were only a few people walking around the streets in the base, and she looked a bit awkward in her clean and tidy clothes.
A group of people stood in front of Su Mi and held a photo in front of Su Mi's eyes.
"Little girl, have you ever seen this person?"
Su Mi was wearing a peaked cap and raised her eyes slightly. There was a couple in the photo, and the background looked very familiar. Su Mi thought carefully that it should have been taken in the villa area.
The man in the photo looks handsome, but his eyes are cloudy and he looks slightly dissatisfied when facing the camera.
The woman smiled charmingly, wore midriff-baring short-sleeves and tight jeans, and nestled next to the man with a happy face on her face.
But Su Mi's heart trembled, isn't this Su Binglan? Recalling the day she was framed for stealing something, even Lin Zhiyuan just made light of the incident.
It seems that this woman does have some background.
Take a look at the announcement pinned to the top of the book review area. There is a perfect attendance event. If you have time, you can participate. There will be some small rewards, and it can also bring some popularity to Huahua's books.
