Lu Yan was so confused that he didn't know where to go for a moment. He turned his eyes and found a person in front of him, with a surprised look on his face:
"Qin Zhen?!"
However, Qin Zhen didn't seem to hear it, and walked swaying in the other direction while holding on to the wall.
He had lost a lot of weight, and the bulging muscles in his body had become shriveled, and he was unsteady, giving people a feeling of serious illness and vulnerability.
This had never happened to him before.
At this time, he should be in the ward under normal circumstances, but now he suddenly appeared here.
Lu Yan was very worried and could not ignore it. He quickly walked over:
"Qin Zhen, wait a minute!!"
Qin Zhen seemed to have heard his words, stood on the spot, and slowly turned around.
Lu Yan was caught off guard and met his eyes. They were a pair of red bloodshot eyes. Their eyes were dull and expressionless, which made Lu Yan feel heartbroken.
Qin Zhen had no reaction when he saw Lu Yan. His eyes moved slowly in his eye sockets twice mechanically, and then he said:
"Oh, Xiao Lu, you are not busy at this time, what are you doing here?"
After he said this, he leaned to the side and was about to fall to the ground.
Lu Yan quickly grabbed him, helped him stand firm, and whispered:
"I'm supposed to be asking you, why did you leave the ward when you haven't recovered from your illness? Your body can't bear it."
Qin Zhen smiled widely and said indifferently:
"It's harmful. I'm just mentally ill, not physically ill. Why can't I stand it?"
As he spoke, something subtle flashed across his eyes, and he continued:
"I'm sorry, I'm too fragile. I can't afford such a lunatic staying in the base, and I'm also dragging you down, haha..."
Lu Yan couldn't hear such words, and he didn't know that Qin Zhen was giving up on himself, so he quickly said:
"How could it be? Our base can't survive without you. Without you, the base can hardly function. Everyone is waiting for you. You should take good care of yourself..."
Qin Zhen seemed not to hear it and continued to mutter:
"It's useless for me to keep it. I might as well have died there. I wish I had died earlier..."
Lu Yan was shocked and quickly grabbed him and called his name loudly:
"Qin Zhen!!"
Qin Zhen suddenly raised his head and stared into Lu Yan's eyes. The red circles in his eyes were scary:
"Lu Yan, tell me, if I had died there, would Xiao Yan have been able to go home?!"
His gaze was like a knife, firmly nailed on Lu Yan, and he continued:
"My comrades-in-arms, my relatives, my brothers!! It's all because of those zombies, because of those walking zombies, those monsters that no one is!!!"
He paused for a moment, then said word by word:
"Lu Yan, tell me, should I hate them?! Should I kill them all?!"
When Lu Yan heard this, he was absent-minded for a moment, and this brief absence seemed to stimulate Qin Zhen. He grabbed Lu Yan's collar and asked in an excited tone:
"I hate them, I want to kill them all!! What about you, are you my brother, will you kill them all?!"
When he said this, tears oozed from his eyes, streaked across his cheeks, and left deep marks one after another on his clothes.
He didn't wait for Lu Yan's answer. He just opened his mouth and said with a bitter smile while crying:
"Do you know that I have never seen Xiao Yan again? I don't dare to see him, I don't dare to see his brother, I don't dare to see his mother..."
He seemed to have collapsed. While tugging on Lu Yan's collar, he buried his head deeply:
"Tell me, how can anyone in this world identify with those monsters?"
Listening to Qin Zhen's cries, Lu Yan felt extremely depressed. Before the end of the world, he had never thought that Qin Zhen would cry like this.
Even if there was a sacrifice, he would just stand aside with his eyes red silently, and then he raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.
The apocalypse caused Qin Zhen to experience countless such pains in just a few months, and lost countless comrades he loved, causing him such serious war wounds.
Lu Yan raised his hand to pat Qin Zhen on the shoulder, but suddenly thought of Mu Tang.
The best brother and the most beloved wife.
Even though he knew that Qin Zhen didn't know Mu Tang's identity, the hand couldn't fall down for some reason.
Lu Yan was not a person who was good at words, so he could only say weak words of comfort over and over again in a hoarse voice:
"It will be fine, it will be fine one day..."
What day is it? No one has an answer.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance, and then like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, dense gunshots suddenly rang through the sky! ! !
The surroundings suddenly became chaotic, and the survivors shrank back into the tents. Those who were brave did not go back, and stretched their necks to look over there.
Everyone started talking about each other, making a lot of noise.
A soldier put the walkie-talkie to his ear and listened. Then his expression changed, he called his comrades and rushed in that direction with their guns raised! !
Then there was a sudden scream from the crowd:
"Ah——, what are you doing?!"
Everyone looked back and saw a gray-haired woman in the crowd. She suddenly looked ferocious and raised her hands high! !
And what she held in her hand was a glass bottle containing blue reagent! !
Lu Yan's expression changed and he rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. The woman had already let go! !
The glass reagent bottle hit the ground with a crisp "bang" sound, glass shards splashed everywhere, and then blue smoke rose flatly and spread to the surroundings! !
Lu Yan's guess was right. Even if they confiscated a large amount of blue reagents, they would only get twice the result with half the effort, and there would always be something that would slip through the net.
Soon people around him were inhaling the drug.
"Ah——, he is infected, run, run!!!"
I saw someone rolling on the ground, their body twisted into an astonishing arc, there were sounds of bones breaking, and zombie growls kept coming from their mouths.
It tilted its head back and faced Lu Yan, and could clearly see the white eyes. Then it let out a roar, stood up from the ground staggeringly, and faced a person who fell to the ground around it. The woman rushed over! !
"boom--!!"
Just as its sharp claws were about to grab the woman's legs, a bloody flower suddenly exploded from the back of its head, its whole body froze, and then it fell to the ground! !
Lu Yan took back the hand that raised the gun, and a wisp of smoke came from the muzzle.
At the same time, screams, cries, and curses came from all directions in the base.
It was obvious that people were infected everywhere and the base was in complete disarray.
However, the place where the gunshots were most intensive was the place where the first gunshot was fired. The gunfire hadn't stopped from just now, and it looked like they were in big trouble.
Lu Yan had to rush over, but what should Mu Tang do?
Where is Mu Tang?
"Xiao Lu, go ahead, I'll go find your Mu Tang." Qin Zhen, who had been standing silently from the beginning, suddenly spoke.
No matter who Mu Tang is, he is very capable and will not be in danger for the time being.
But Lu Yan couldn't ignore her.
Qin Zhen saw Lu Yan's hesitation, stretched out his hand and said:
"Give me a gun. Don't you still believe me? I promise to bring your wife back intact."
There were more and more screams in the distance, and the soldiers were raising their guns to fight. All of this was urging Lu Yan, and he had no time to hesitate.
Lu Yan took a deep breath, took out a gun from the space and handed it to Qin Zhen:
"I'll rush over first. You ask Mu Tang to come to me at the outer wall of the base. I'll wait for her there."
Qin Zhen's eyes were dark, he touched the pattern on the gun, loaded the bullets one by one, and nodded:
"OK."
