I Was Born In The Underworld Chapter 396: Behind the wall
? Tens of millions of corpses.
Just the rotten stench produced has caused such a serious plague.
A large number of soldiers also started coughing. Most of the soldiers are not evolutionaries. The bodies of ordinary people have been exposed to the air full of germs for a long time, and their physical fitness has begun to decline significantly...
People are in panic and rumors are everywhere.
Many people have rumored that many soldiers tore off some rags, soaked some clean water and put them on their faces as masks. After a few hours, a layer of brownish-yellow mucus appeared on the leaked masks, which looked disgusting. .
Sick.
With the panic in the heart and the discomfort of the body, many soldiers also showed signs of fever and illness. Before the large corpse wave launched an attack, the Panshan base was already in chaos.
Not good.
This is really bad.
But the most ominous thing is that even now at the Panshan base, the generals are still chattering and arguing.
"Mr. Wu Ze, have a drink of hot soup."
"It's not good for you to observe the tide of corpses here every day. The upper floor has prepared a gas mask for you." The guard guarding Wu Ze brought today's food and at the same time took out a biochemical gas mask, which is considered special. "Take care" service.
You must know that the current conditions of the Panshan base can only produce a large number of low-quality masks at most. The biochemical gas masks that can purify poisonous gas and nuclear radiation pollution are so important that only high-level personnel have the right to use them.
"Gas mask??"
Wu Ze smiled and shook his head.
His gaze swept down the city wall, where the soldiers in the ravines were shivering in the cold wind.
From this height and angle, the soldiers swarmed together like ants, accompanied by only cold and dark firearms, and boxes of yellow bullet boxes that exuded oil stains.
Many young people have nothing but a hole in their eyes.
In the void, you can see fear and despair, but more is confusion.
For some reason, Wu Ze felt a coldness in his heart, pushed away the gas mask and jumped down, and jumped to the vicinity of the gully tens of meters down amidst the exclamation of the surrounding soldiers.
"Hoo ~~"
A soldier rubbed his hands together, using breath to bring some warmth to ensure that his fingers would not be too stiff.
Crack.
A large hand patted his shoulder.
I don't know when, Wu Ze appeared behind him silently, with a faint smile on his face and said: "Thanks for your hard work."
"Ahem!!"
The soldier almost choked on his own saliva, and immediately stood up and gave a military salute: "Hello, sir."
Obviously...
He regarded Wu Ze as a certain officer who came to condolences.
Wu Ze nodded, slipped into the ravine, opened the ammunition box to check, and then carefully checked the heavy machine gun that was level with the horizon. He was very familiar with these things as he was a soldier. He skillfully dismantled the heavy machine gun into parts and checked every detail. 35xs
"Sir, don't worry!!"
"We have checked all the guns many times and maintained them strictly according to the regulations. There will be no problems at critical moments."
The soldier's face was very nervous, he was afraid that the officer in front of him would check out some flaws, but he was very confident in his gun. To some extent, he spent more time touching it than touching his wife.
"Very good."
Wu Ze nodded, the basic quality of these soldiers is still very strong: "On the battlefield, weapons are your life."
"Yes!!"
Several soldiers saluted again. They had a lot of experience. Although they had never experienced a terrifying mass of corpses, they had encountered small groups of corpses a few times.
"I ask a question."
Looking at the young soldiers, Wu Ze asked, "Why do you think you are fighting?"
What are you fighting for? ?
This question couldn't be easier.
A slightly older soldier immediately replied: "It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders, and the commander must obey any orders!!"
Yes.
Follow orders.
Even if it is to die, even if it is to fight on the front line of the battle, even if it is a person who bears the "cannon fodder" like those rotting corpses, it has to be done without hesitation.
"This is not what you really think in your heart."
Wu Ze placed his hand on another younger soldier: "Tell me the truth."
Truth?
The soldier can't tell the truth.
Because he didn't know why he stayed here, he was just obeying the order...
In order to obey the order, he must overcome his fear.
In order to obey the order, he must endure cold and hunger here, and be ready to sacrifice at any time.
What is all this for? ?
At this moment, a younger soldier stepped forward.
His face is full of innocence, he looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he might still be in junior high school before the end of the world.
This immature soldier seems to be on the battlefield for the first time, but you can see a different light in those eyes, not buried by killing and blood, almost pure "innocence."
"Of course it is to protect important people."
"My sister, and my former tablemate are all behind this city wall!!"
The young man's immature voice shocked everyone, but Wu Ze made fun of him: "At the same table?? You can still have a classmate survived. You are really lucky. That table at the same table should be a girl, right? ?”
Hearing what Wu Ze said, the young man blushed. Everyone has experienced the period of first love, just like the song "You at the same table"~IndoMTL.com~It set off countless people's fond memories of their first love.
Although it was the first time the young man was on the battlefield, he had a passion for it.
He still doesn't quite understand what "obedience to orders is a duty" means, but in this immature body, there is a tough soul that protects his sister and the girl he likes the most. Here are the reasons to become a soldier.
Many people, having experienced countless killings, have already forgotten what their "original heart" is.
Things are often that simple.
In addition to orders, there are also important things inside the city walls that must be protected.
A relative, a lover, a brother, a partner, a girl you like...it can even be a stranger, as long as those things are important to you.
Many veterans on the battlefield, after listening to the young man's words, the confusion in their eyes was swept away, and instead they gradually burned with fiery flames, as if recalling something.
Wu Ze seemed to have heard the answer he wanted.
Yes.
Behind the city wall, there are not just resources, not just the number of human lives.
Behind the city wall, there is hope and the most important protection of countless people.
Countless soldiers stood here just to protect this soft, fragile, yet incomparably tough thing.
They were not like the generals in the conference room, thinking about how to get the most benefit, thinking about how to keep their power, chattering and arguing like flies.
"Thank you for your answer."
"Looks like I'm going to the commander's meeting room."
