From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 457
Chapter 457 Death Brigade
“Put the gun down. Do you hear me?”
A black man with a gun roared fiercely, Chen Guangda, who was frozen at the side of the car, hurriedly glanced at them. He discovered that these people were wearing regular military uniforms and were wearing military ranks and armbands correctly. He quickly put down his gun and laughed embarrassedly, “Sorry, sir, the car accident stunned me. I thought I was met with a living corpse!”
“Everyone, get down here. Raise your hands and stand properly …”
The black man wearing the rank of major shouted again, He quickly kicked away Chen Guangda’s shotgun. The few people in the car could only stumble out. Even Qiu Shi, Tian Erque and the others were brought over. The guns on their bodies were immediately seized. The major then shouted, “Where did you come from? Why did you run here in the middle of the night?”
“Sir! What you said is strange. After the city was destroyed, we lost our way outside. It was not easy for us to find it. Besides, there’s still a corpse tide chasing us …”
Chen Guang raised both of his hands and said honestly. Hearing this, the other party was immediately stunned. He hurriedly asked Chen Guangda to explain the situation clearly. After Chen Guangda explained the general situation, the other party frowned and said, “Which brigade are you from? What is the name of the steward’s leader?”
“Our leader is Old Wang, the thin black guy …”
Chen Guangda rolled his eyes and said nonsense, In any case, the surname Wang was a big name. No matter where he was, there was a little wang or an old wang. As expected, the old wang nodded without any doubt. Then, he turned around and waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and let the brothers move their things away. The sentry retreated two kilometers before sending these people back to the dung-picking brigade. Don’t let them escape!”
“Feces picking brigade?”
Chen Guangda and the others were dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that the squad would actually go in blindly, and from the tone of the other party, this was obviously a difficult task. He actually needed someone to watch to prevent them from escaping. The two soldiers walked up and said gloatingly, “I’m afraid the few of you still don’t know. Your squad has already changed into a charging squad, and all of you have to go to the front line to kill the living corpses!”
“Holy shit! Why do you want us to charge …”
Chen Guangda took a step back with anger on his face. However, he wished he could slap himself in the face. Today, he was so lucky. This charge brigade was clearly a death squad, so it would be safer to go pick dung. However, the major on the other side shouted with his eyes wide open, “It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the country. If it’s your turn, then it’s up to you. Anyone who wants to be a coward daddy will definitely be served by bullets!”
“Sir! We can at least retrieve our own things …”
Fang Xiaoya suddenly pointed at their car. Little girl and Xia Fei were very smart. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they wiped the mud on their faces. Xia Fei also wiped the nosebleeds on their faces. The two women’s ashen faces did not attract anyone’s attention at all.
“You are only allowed to take your own bag. The rest of the items will have to be confiscated. This is an extraordinary time …”
The major expressionlessly stepped aside from the side of the car. The conditions were not surprising at all. If their things weren’t confiscated, they would have seen a ghost. Thus, a dozen people silently went forward and picked up their things. However, after tentatively picking up a few foods, they discovered that the major didn’t object. Perhaps he also felt that such confiscation was shameless.
“Hurry up, the Corpse Tide may come at any time, hurry up and leave …”
After the major hurriedly gave the order, he took the lead and rushed into an armored vehicle. Chen Guangda and the others were also escorted behind a small courtyard and helplessly climbed onto a ragged military card. There were about forty to fifty people on the other side, and each of them looked like a serious soldier, not like a straw leader who had left home halfway.
“Sir! How many of us are left? Quite a few of us have died this time …”
Chen Guangda took out a cigarette and sat beside a big-headed soldier. The big-headed soldier took the cigarette and said, “Isn’t that so? Those who died in the city are nothing. The most dangerous thing is after we left the city. At that time, our troops retreated two ways. We led at least 250,000 to 60,000 people. But now, we don’t even have 200,000 people. Either they died or they ran away. They died as fiercely as running water!”
“Then who’s in charge here now? Or who’s in charge?”
Chen Guangda simply stuffed all the remaining cigarettes into the other party. The other party smiled without hesitation and nodded, “Yes! Commander Wang is still in charge, but our strength is much weaker than before. The group heading north has split up quite a few of our troops. This is equivalent to a complete separation of families. I wonder when we can meet again!”
“Then what’s going on with our scavenging brigade? Why did they change their scavenging to death?”
Chen Guangda looked at the other with a depressed expression. The other party laughed and said, “It wasn’t your Old Wang who did it. That old bastard took the lead in escaping while guarding the city. He also brought your group along halfway to steal their food. Later, Old Wang was killed by us on the spot, and your entire group was also unlucky. All of you were pulled out to the front line to be the charge team!”
“Damn it! What bad luck! Sir, can you help us talk about love? We’re innocent …”
Chen Guangda slapped his thigh in frustration and hurriedly took out a large gold watch from his bag. Who knew that the Big Head Soldier would take the gold watch and weigh it before saying, “I’ll talk to you guys later. However, I can’t guarantee it. Everything is under strict control right now. You’ll be shot if you catch a petty thief. You guys go back and wait for news from me first!”
“Then thank you so much. When the time comes, brother will definitely have a feeling of being affectionate …”
Chen Guangda pretended to be excited as he shook hands with Wang Dafu and the others. After looking at the military cards and armoured vehicles, he whispered, “Now is not the time to make a move. Let’s go into their territory and take a look. When the time is ripe, we’ll find a chance to escape!”
“Do you think Ding Man will be here? After all, this city has only just been destroyed …”
Tian Erque suddenly leaned over with a murderous look on his face. He was still obsessed with the matter of killing Ding Man. However, before Chen Guangda could reply, Yang Rui leaned over and whispered, “Can you help me find out about Xiao Yao and the others? I think the person who kidnapped them is very likely here. I’m really worried about their lives if I’m not sure!”
“Don’t worry! As long as people are alive, they will definitely be found …”
Chen Guangda patted their shoulders at the same time. The two of them could only sigh as they leaned back. However, the military card and armored vehicle behind them quickly stopped. They began to set up sentry posts at a narrow intersection. However, the truck that was pulling Chen Guangda and the others headed straight towards the northeast. The four big-headed soldiers were sitting in four corners with guns in their hands. Their vigilant posture was clearly to prevent them from escaping.
“Look! What a big lake ahead …”
Wang Dafu pointed forward in astonishment. Suddenly, a large sparkling lake appeared in front of him. There were at least dozens of football fields. A two-lane highway went straight through the center of the lake. Not only were there dozens of high-rise residential buildings, there were even two large sailboat-shaped hotels. The surrounding shops and restaurants were dazzling. At first glance, they thought they were in the center of the lake.
“Fatty! You’re new here, right? You don’t even know about the Shangwen Reservoir …”
The big-headed soldier looked at Wang Dafu mockingly. He held a cigarette in his mouth and said, ‘”What you see now was originally a wetland park and a hot spring resort. It was taken down by us a few months ago. We planned to transform it into an upscale elite community of 50,000 people. However, before we could finish it, we escaped first. Now everyone is working overtime to build city walls and moats. They are simply too busy!”
“This condition is not bad. There are still buildings with mountains on the back and water on the surface …”
Wang Dafu and the others stood up and looked forward curiously. The other side of the reservoir was obviously lit up. All the tall buildings were pitch black. Only the bottom of the building was lit up sporadically. However, judging from the large amount of clothes and blankets hanging outside the window, these buildings were probably already filled with people.
“Dream on, you’re the only one who still wants to live in a building. It’s good that you have a bed …”
The big-headed soldier said with a disdainful expression, “Do you know what it means to squeeze two hundred thousand people into a place with fifty thousand people?” Right now, even the streets are full of people. Only special people and leaders are qualified to live in buildings. Even we have to squeeze a dozen people into a room, but! If you have the ability to pay the rent of fifty kilograms of rice and noodles a month, you can even sleep in the villa! Hehe ~ ”
“Paradise Island Resort? Why is this name so unlucky …”
Chen Guangda looked at a tourist sign not far away and frowned speechlessly. It was fine if it was just a paradise island. The key point was that the Shangwen Reservoir looked like a grave. However, the Big Head Soldier also nodded and said, “Who said no? Even our Commander Wang said that he was unlucky. He has already changed his name to Pan Long Lake and Coiling Dragon Town!”
As they were talking, the truck drove onto the lake road, High barbed wire had already been pulled up on both sides of the highway. As soon as the car got on the lake, a corpse fish started to jump up, constantly crashing the barbed wire. In reality, Coiling Dragon Town was not an island at all. It was just in the middle of a concave reservoir. It was the same as spitting urine and saying that there was a hot spring.
However, there was no denying that this place was extremely advantageous, Coiling Dragon Town was directly sandwiched between two mountains. One of them was the famous Supreme of the Five Peaks, and the other was a large man-made reservoir. As long as the east and west walls were built well, it would be much safer than the resettlement camps in Yima Pingchuan. It was absolutely not a problem to block the hundreds of thousands of corpses.
“There are so many people …”
Chen Guangda looked ahead and muttered to himself, There were no walls built at the entrance of the road, There were only two thick iron doors blocking the way, and the two ends of the town were just as he had imagined. The endless stream of people were working overtime to build the city walls, and two deep ditches were dug out to draw in the lake water. However, the streets ahead were like beggar’s nest, filled with dirty people sleeping on the streets.
“Hey! The charging squad is here to pick them up. A few of them are back …”
“Creak!” The truck stopped in an open space. Several heavy tanks were parked to repair it. There were also a few large killing weapons, such as pomegranate guns. However, with the shouts of the big-headed soldiers, a middle-aged officer immediately ran over and waved his hand. “Don’t go to the charge squad. Hurry up and follow me to work. A few people died there!”
“Sorry, sir! We are from the charge team, not peasant workers …”
Chen Guangda jumped out of the car and clapped his hands. A group of soldiers immediately looked at him in astonishment. They didn’t expect anyone to take the initiative to seek death. However, Chen Guangda pointed at the back and said, “The Corpse Tide is already very close to this area. It is possible to come at any time. When we finish our work, how can we still have the strength to fight? I demand that we immediately go back and rest before preparing for battle!”
“Alright! I’ll let you go back and rest. If you don’t dare charge when the living corpse arrives, I’ll personally kill you …”
The middle-aged officer looked at Chen Guangda with murderous intent. He turned around and ran to the streets to start pulling strong men. Chen Guangda chuckled and said to Wang Dafu and the others, “He didn’t look for so many people, but he came to look for us. It must be a very life-threatening task. Why don’t we send the death squad to wait and see what happens first?”
Unexpectedly, Wang Dafu sighed helplessly and said, “Sigh, it’s not the same in the end. We still have to go up and die. Those are the two fat corpse kings. It’s true to think of a way to leave quickly!”
