Qin Zhen's team suffered heavy losses when they came out. Now only he and Yan Mingxu are left, and they have to protect the few civilians they rescued. They are no longer able to continue their mission.

In addition, after meeting Lu Yan, the base had fallen tomorrow. He wanted Lu Yan to be transferred to the Tongcheng base, so he chose to stay here for repairs.

At this time, Lu Yan and he were sitting in the baby room on the second floor.

Qin Zhen held a small black square box that was the same as Lu Yan's, and kept rotating the button on it.

The small square box made intermittently beeping sounds and electric current sounds.

The code sequence of each base is different. Lu Yan has no way to translate the transmitted information and can only wait for Qin Zhen to convey it.

But at present, the communication results do not seem optimistic.

The beeping sound of the small square box turned into a busy tone after a burst of electricity.

Qin Zhen shook the box vigorously, his temper was so bad that he wanted to smash the communicator to the ground, but in the end he had no choice but to take it back.

"Can't receive the signal?" Lu Yan asked.

Qin Zhen nodded angrily.

In the end of the world, no one will maintain those base stations, coupled with the damage caused by zombies, being hit by cars, various natural disasters, etc., civilian signal communication has long been completely out of order.

Moreover, due to the loss of the ground satellite station, most of the functions of the satellites still patrolling in outer space have failed.

The only usable part is naturally spent on the blade——

For example, missile bombing positioning.

Qin Zhen sighed:

"The bombing mission was originally supposed to be carried out by the two bases, Tomorrow Base and Tongcheng Base. Now that Tomorrow Base has fallen, the choice above is to continue the mission. Tongcheng Base is currently under great pressure."

He looked at Lu Yan with a wry smile:

"The ammunition reserve of the base in the same city is far inferior to that of the base of tomorrow. When the base was originally built, a lot of ammunition was spent cleaning up the zombies."

"Originally, we had communicated that some of them would be transported from Tomorrow Base, but before we had time to transport them, Tomorrow Base fell."

Mayor Qin let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"It's still adding insult to injury."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the two of them raised their heads. Ren Yu stood behind the door and whispered:

"Lu Yan...you said before that I could talk to you."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, winked at Qin Zhen, stood up and walked out.

Mu Tang on the other side didn't seem to have so many worries. Since Lin Wanwan came, she had another playmate.

"Before, there seemed to be four of you. Where is the other one?"

Mu Tang was carefree and asked directly without thinking too much.

Lin Wanwan's face, which was still smiling, dimmed instantly, and after a while she said softly:

"Yang Peng...is no longer here."

Mu Tang now knew that he shouldn't ask any more questions. He shook his feet and was about to change the topic when Lin Wanwan continued:

"We didn't know what happened. We fell into a trap set by others. There were many zombies and we couldn't move together, so we hurriedly agreed on a meeting point and left separately. Yang Peng was with Xia Sen."

"When we met, Xia Sen was the only one left. He said that Yang Peng accidentally disturbed the zombies and was bitten."

Lin Wanwan murmured, her mind filled with the scene of that day.

At that time, they really couldn't believe that Yang Peng would die, and they grabbed Xia Sen and wanted to ask for details.

Xia Sen didn't want to talk anymore. If he asked more questions, he would lose his temper.

In the end, he became more and more sensitive to this issue. Once someone brought it up, he would yell:

"You just wish it was me who died, don't you?! I don't have powers and will hold you back, but Yang Peng doesn't, so you just wish I died!! Do you rather I die!!"

He was extremely emotional. Occasionally, after losing his temper, he would quietly apologize once or twice, saying that he just lost control of his emotions, that Yang Peng died in front of him that day, and that he really didn't want to recall that situation again.

Please let them go, don't remind him of those things, and don't ask again. If you ask again, they will force him to death.

So in the end, neither she nor Ren Yu could speak anymore.

After all, Xia Sen is no longer the Xia Sen they knew. He now has an extreme personality and often does impulsive things.

They were afraid that Xia Sen would really rush into the zombies and die in front of them if they mentioned it again.

Yang Peng is dead, and they can no longer lose their companions.

Lin Wanwan briefly summarized what happened, but did not mention the lingering doubts in her heart.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Yang Peng's death had something to do with Xia Sen, but this was just her suspicion. She couldn't convict Xia Sen because of this suspicion, so she kept it in her heart.



"...I always feel that things are not that simple. Yang Peng is very cautious. Among us, he is actually the most attentive person. The possibility of alerting zombies is very small."

Ren Yu on the other side also said the same to Lu Yan. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of struggle:

"I don't know what to do now. Xia Sen is also our companion, but his reaction after coming back was so abnormal that I can't help but doubt him."

Lu Yan leaned against the wall and listened to Ren Yu's narration in silence.

He said that while they were driving on the road, a wire suddenly appeared and cut the tires, and then dense zombies suddenly appeared around them.

With this familiar crime style, Lu Yan was almost certain that it was Jin Kaichang and his group.

It seems they have set traps along more than one path.

Lu Yan asked aloud:

"Do you suspect that Xia Sen killed Yang Peng?"

Ren Yu shook his head and said sadly:

"No, he had no motive to harm Yang Peng. What I mean is, did they accidentally disturb the zombies, and then Xia Sen left Yang Peng and ran away alone."

"Can't you accept that your companions will abandon you and run away when they are in danger?" Lu Yan then asked.

Ren Yu's expression was dazed for a moment, and then he shook his head:

"No, everyone has the right to choose life. It's just that I probably... won't trust such companions anymore."

Xia Sen is currently in such a position. Ren Yu is very complicated towards him now. He has no choice but to trust Xia Sen wholeheartedly, but he also doesn't want to leave him behind.

Lu Yan laughed and said:

"You're nothing like your dad."

He met Ren Huaicheng once in northern Myanmar.

He was an outright desperado, more ruthless than Jin Kaichang, and particularly good at controlling people's hearts.

If such a thing had appeared in front of Ren Huaicheng, Xia Sen would have chopped into pieces the nameless water corpse that sank at the bottom of the Irrawaddy River.

He didn't expect that his son would be born with such a strong love and righteousness.

"You were not like this when we first met. Now you make me feel that the you I met before was just my illusion."

Lu Yan said leisurely.

Ren Yu suddenly remembered that he wanted to kill people and steal goods as soon as he met Lu Yan, and later wanted to use Lu Yan to divert trouble to the east. His face couldn't help but turn red, he lowered his head and said calmly:

"sorry……"

Lu Yan lowered his head and looked at him. This boy had the shadow of his father in his work. He was quick and decisive. Lu Yan knew it from the moment he shot the fat man without hesitation.

It's just that compared to his father, this kid has an extra layer of affection and righteousness. He takes his companions very seriously.

"You have already made up your mind. You came to ask me just to let me tell you that what you did was right." Lu Yan said calmly.

Ren Yu remained silent, that was indeed what he thought.

"But I can't answer you. This is your own decision. It may affect your life. Your life should not be controlled by me."

Lu Yan continued.

Ren Yu raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect Lu Yan to answer like this, and felt a little disappointed.

Lu Yan saw what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and continued:

"But I can give you a piece of advice. If you haven't been able to make a decision, then you should ask it yourself and don't back down because of the other party's attitude."

After Lu Yan said this, he turned and left.

Ren Yu stood there in a daze.
