Lieutenant General Lu seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, his eyes were tired, and after a brief hesitation, he sighed:
"I didn't expect you to find out in the end. I'm sorry."
Lu Yan didn't want to hear these words. What he wanted now was not these useless apologies, but the real reason for Lieutenant General Lu's actions.
Why did Lieutenant General Lu choose to shield the traitor, why did he acquiesce to them raising zombies in the base, and why did he remain indifferent even though he knew the reason for the fall of the base tomorrow? !
Is it just because he and Major General Li have known each other for many years? Is it just because of this that he treats so many sacrifices as child's play? !
He didn't believe that his always upright uncle would violate the bottom line because of these things.
Seeing Lu Yan's changing expressions, which were obviously getting more and more agitated, Major General Li suddenly stepped forward and said:
"Let me explain."
He looked at Lu Yan:
"First of all, I apologize to you."
Lu Yan looked away, not wanting to respond.
Major General Li sighed slightly in his heart, and then continued:
"My wife, Xin Min, has been separated from me for a long time. Because of her busy work, communication gradually became scarce, so I didn't pay attention to what she did or who she came into contact with at first. I just vaguely heard about it. She said she was exposed to special areas that she had never been exposed to or even thought about.”
"In the early days of the apocalyptic zombie outbreak, when communications were not broken, I hope she will come to Tongcheng base and work with me to overcome the current difficulties."
When he said this, Major General Li's eyes were in a trance, with regret on his face:
"Originally, I was worried that she would not want to come because she was involved in the construction of the Shanglan base, but I didn't expect that she agreed immediately. I was surprised at that time. However, she suddenly received a transfer order on the way to the Tongcheng base. , transferred to tomorrow’s base.”
Lu Yan's brows furrowed more and more tightly. He didn't expect that it happened so long ago.
Major General Li's expression was bleak and sad:
"She told me a lot on the phone at that time, saying that she could create a new way of life for mankind and that she could reverse the world."
Major General Li said with a wry smile:
"I just thought it was strange at that time. She was not young anymore and usually had a stable personality, but the fanaticism in her tone at that time was something I had never heard before. But one thing was obvious, she was very happy to play Tomorrow Base .”
"We rarely contacted each other after that. When we did contact her, she was in a hurry and we couldn't say a few words."
"The last contact was the day before the base fell tomorrow."
"She sent me the last piece of information and said in a hasty tone that things were completely off track. She originally thought she could create a better utopia, but she didn't expect that she trusted the wrong person. That person was a lunatic."
"I was completely confused when I heard it, and the only thing that impressed me deeply was that we are all going to perish."
The more Lu Yan listened, the more impatient he became. He said so much but didn't focus at all. How Xin Min caused Xin Min to land at the base tomorrow was not revealed at all.
However, Major General Li seemed to be trapped in his own world and continued:
"Thinking about it later, the reason why she agreed to come to Tongcheng Base so happily was probably because she had planned to use Tongcheng Base as an experimental site. But then she had the opportunity to go to Tomorrow Base, where the equipment is much more advanced than Tongcheng, and There were more survivors, so naturally she changed goals.”
"If there hadn't been that transfer order, the Tongcheng base would have been destroyed first."
At this point, the expression on his face became more and more bitter, but he seemed to understand that Lu Yan wanted to know something else, so he quickly calmed down and continued:
"Later, Yu Hong, that is, Major General Yu came to the base..."
"Wait!!" Lu Yan suddenly interrupted him, his mind a little confused:
"What happened to Major General Yu? He shouldn't have come to the base at that time. I read the information..."
At this point, he stopped. That information must have been tampered with like other information.
None of the information in the information room was completely credible, so Lu Yan gave up on the time and asked instead:
"What was the last information Xin Min sent to you?"
Major General Li looked at Lieutenant General Lu silently. Lieutenant General Lu sighed, took out the information from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan quickly looked through the things in his hands.
There are many things he knows, such as the dormant virus that Mu Tang told him, and that there are many people in Tongcheng base carrying dormant viruses.
But there was also a lot he didn't know.
"So, Shanglan Base was not controlled by the government from the beginning. It existed as an experimental site from the moment it was established?!"
Therefore, Lieutenant General Lu knew the uneasy and good intentions of Shanglan Base, but he still allowed them to enter the base, and even hesitated when he executed them in the end! !
Lu Yan's voice was slightly raised, and he felt that every word of this information was impacting his brain.
He wanted to question everyone present, since they knew it and were still luring the wolf into the house, what on earth were they doing? !
But he soon calmed down, and then felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Yan knew what they were doing. They were sitting back and waiting to die in vain while the base fell, slowly waiting to die.
Lieutenant General Lu understood as soon as he saw his expression, his face was bitter:
"When we learned that countless people in this base were carrying dormant viruses, we were already in despair."
why?
Because there is no way to tell the difference between infected and non-infected people, as long as there is a simple opportunity and any bottle of blue potion is broken in the open space of the base, zombies will spread to the entire base in an instant! !
"We have seen the power of the blue potion when the Major General came to the base."
At that time, they were still immersed in the shock that the information brought to them, and Yu Hong walked into the base in a big way.
He randomly selected five people in the base, locked them in a sealed room, and then threw a bottle of blue potion inside.
Three of the five people went into attack instantly and turned into zombies in just a few seconds, roaring and pounced on the other two people.
The facts are before their eyes, and Lieutenant General Lu and Major General Li cannot help but disbelieve them.
However, the strange thing is that Yu Hong's request was only to let him lead the scientific research department in the base. He did not even ask that the scientific research department be entirely his people.
Under pressure, Lieutenant General Lu agreed to his request.
How ridiculous. The survivors that the soldiers at the base desperately brought back from outside turned out to be carriers of the dormant zombie virus.
The home built with hard work is like a ripe apple that has fallen to the ground. The outer skin is stained and stained, and the core is rotting and infested with insects. Only the pulp that is still intact covers everything.
And they don't even know how to resist, so they can only let it develop.
"So you are reluctant to deal with the people in Shanglan Base because you are afraid of the people behind Shanglan Base?"
Lieutenant General Lu nodded:
"yes."
Then he continued:
"Originally, we could have chosen to ignite missiles and destroy the entire city. However, before the dormant zombie virus revived, the base was full of flesh-and-blood people. We were still unable to make a decision. This was unfair to them."
"So we had to choose how long we could last, but you suddenly came back and we had new ideas."
He looked at Lu Yan with deep and meaningful eyes:
"Lu Yan, thermal weapons are just lifeless steel and iron bones after all. They will kill everyone indiscriminately, but humans are not."
"Before you came back, there were no high-level superpowers in the base. Even if there were, we can't be sure that he would not be infected by the zombie virus again and become a high-level zombie."
"No one has the ability to save people when the virus breaks out in the base and still protect themselves, and no one has the ability to rebuild a home for mankind."
"Even if someone is lucky enough to survive and barely find a place to stay, how long can everyone survive without supplies and weapons at that time?"
"Without the guidance of rules, will survivors kill each other just to survive?"
Lieutenant General Lu said leisurely:
"We thought a lot and finally came to the conclusion that this situation is unsolvable. No matter what we choose, we can't avoid the end of destruction, so we can only find ways to postpone the date."
"But after you came back, everything changed and we had new options, so we can continue to keep our spirits up."
Lu Yan did not follow his lead, but denied:
"This reason is not valid, how can you guarantee that I will not be infected?"
Lieutenant General Lu shook his head:
"You understand wrong. You are not the reason. The real reason is by your side."
Lu Yan was stunned. What was the real reason beside him? !
Beside him is...
