Zhang Zheng is a recruit who has just joined the army. He is twenty-two years old this year. He is an orphan. From childhood to adulthood, he has been dependent on his grandmother for life. Later, his grandmother's health began to deteriorate. Helplessly, Zhang Zheng had to drop out of school and go home to take care of his grandmother. Zhang Zheng is a filial and sensible child. He is never afraid of hardships and can do any heavy work at home, cooking, farming, and taking care of his grandmother. He does things that other children rarely do every day. Dropting out of school is a cruel reality for Zhang Zheng. He longs to get into college, go out of the mountain village, and become a useful person. But fate joked with him, and when he received the college admission notice, he chose to give up in pain. He did not dare to show the notice to his grandmother. Although he knew that his grandmother would be very happy, the expensive tuition was beyond the reach of no matter how much his family could afford.

Later, the troops in the city went to the countryside to help the poor. They sent rice, flour and donations to the villagers who were in difficulty. A kind company commander was moved when he heard about Zhang Zheng's deeds. He not only admired the young and sensible child, but also felt sorry for Zhang Zheng's dropping out of school. He came to Zhang Zheng's house in person, sent a lot of things, and took out the only few thousand yuan from himself and handed it to Zhang Zheng, asking him to take good care of his grandmother and let Zhang Zheng continue to go to school. He would pay for the subsequent tuition.

After the company commander left, he would send Zhang Zheng several thousand yuan every month, and often sent soldiers from the army to help take care of his grandmother until his grandmother died of illness.

Zhang Zheng was left alone. He felt pain and helpless, and felt the injustice of fate. On the day of grandma's funeral, the company commander came again. After helping Zhang Zheng deal with grandma's funeral, he advised Zhang Zheng to go to school as soon as possible. He handed Zhang Zheng a bank card, saying that it was the money donated by his comrades in the army, and asked him to go back to pay the tuition. In this way, Zhang Zheng returned to campus and started his journey of studying again.

When he was in his sophomore year, the troops went to the university to recruit new recruits. Zhang Zheng joined without hesitation. He followed the recruit company directly into the company commander's army. The company commander was very excited to see him. The two men looked like brothers who had been separated for a long time, hugging each other and burst into tears.

Zhang Zheng said that it was the happiest day for him to grow up like this. He no longer felt lonely or painful, because the company commander was his brother and the company commander was his only relative.

In the army, the company commander took care of him like his own brothers. No matter what good things happen, he would think of Zhang Zheng at the first time. Because the company commander was also an orphanage, he grew up from an orphanage and by chance, he joined the army. Later, because he was hardworking and active in the army, he was promoted to the company commander. Seeing that Zhang Zheng was suffering from the same fate as him, the company commander couldn't help but feel compassion. He didn't want to see a young man in his prime slowly degenerate in his tragic fate, so he gave Zhang Zheng selfless help in life, which made Zhang Zheng feel great warmth.

In early summer this year, the zombie virus broke out, and all regions suffered unprecedented heavy damage, with people suffering from misfortune. The government immediately sent troops from various groups to the city where the incident was happening to emergency rescue. The company commander took his company's recruits on the journey of no return...

The attacked cities were in a mess, with fleeing crowds everywhere, and crazy zombies everywhere. The troops drove armored vehicles and well-equipped weapons, but they were helpless in the face of the terrifying scene in front of them. Their mission was to rescue survivors and eliminate zombies, but the crowds and corpses everywhere were mixed together, making the soldiers unable to move at all.

There are more and more zombies, and they are becoming more and more fierce. They are very fast. As long as they bite people, they will mutate within half an hour. The corpse group began to attack the soldiers. In desperation, everyone had to shoot, and the sound of gunfire, crying, and roars shook the sky and the earth. Zombies in the whole city were attracted by the sound. The surging corpse tide instantly surrounded the troops, and even the armored vehicles could not drive out. The soldiers did not know whether they were shooting zombies or innocent humans. They only knew that if they did not shoot, the surrounding corpse group would immediately swallow everyone.

Zombies are very tenacious. Bullets hit the body without any effect. Only a headshot can be killed. But in the fierce battle, no one can shoot the headshots! The swarming corpses kept rushing forward, and when they hit the bullets, they were like falling into a huge wave, and they could not stop the corpses from moving forward.

The ammunition was gradually exhausted, but there were still more and more zombies. A round of bullets was shot out and only a few of them could be eliminated. In the short time of replacing bullets, the zombies were like beasts that had emerged from the cage, and instantly obliterated the entire army.

The company commander took Zhang Zheng out of the corpse group and hid in a supermarket. In a panic, the company commander was shot in the abdomen by a comrade-in-arms. The wound was bleeding and could not stop it. Zhang Zheng was extremely sad. He hugged the company commander and cried bitterly. He never expected that fate would be so harsh, and his kind brother suffered such misfortune.

Blood filled the entire city, and the zombies became even more vicious, like evil ghosts gushing out of hell, instantly turning the whole world into hell. A group of zombies followed Zhang Zheng and the company commander and rushed to the entrance of the supermarket. The glass door of the supermarket was locked up by Zhang Zheng, but even so, they could not resist the violent impact of the zombies.

"Xiao Zhang..." The company commander's face was pale, and he was very weak at this moment because of his excessive blood loss. He gently patted Zhang Zheng's shoulder and pointed to a window on the side of the supermarket. "Xiao Zhang... I... I'm almost out of here... You... run quickly, in a while... the zombies will smash the door. They will definitely come to me... When you go... hide at the windowsill and jump out..."

"No! Company Commander! Let's go together! We will definitely go out alive! I'll carry you!" Zhang Zheng's face was full of tears. He would not leave the company commander alone no matter what. He choked up and raised the company commander's arm to carry him, but Zhang Zheng was too thin. How could he carry a company commander who was much stronger than him? Zhan Zhan walked out a few steps and collapsed on the ground. Zhang Zheng was unwilling to give up. He continued to force himself to carry the company commander again, but was pushed away by the company commander.

"Xiao Zhang..." The company commander also began to flow blood in his mouth, but he smiled and touched Zhang Zheng's head, "You have heard the company commander's words the most in the past... This time... Why don't you listen to the company commander this time... Go away quickly... Don't worry about me..." The company commander trembled and put the gun in his hand into Zhang Zheng's arms, frowned in pain. The wound on his abdomen kept flowing blood. Every time he said and made an action, the blood would rush out hard. At this moment, the company commander's blood was almost flowing, and his eyes were half open. "Xiao Zhang... This gun... has a shuttle, you... take it... remember, live well!"

"No! Company Commander! Let's go together!" Zhang Zheng still stubbornly wanted to carry the company commander, sweat and tears kept sliding down his cheeks. He hated the cruel zombies, and he hated the unfair fate!

With a bang, the glass fragments collapsed all over the ground. The zombies violently smashed open the glass door and rushed in soon.

"Go away!"

The company commander used all the strength left in his body to push Zhang Zheng out. The zombie suddenly rushed in, pressed the company commander to the ground, and desperately teared the company commander's wound...

"Xiao Zhang!...so...so...so...so...live..."

The company commander shouted at the top of his lungs, this was the last sentence he said when his life reached its end.

Zhang Zheng was distraught. He stood aside from afar, watching the poor company commander being torn to pieces by these demons. His fists were tightly clenched. He wanted to rush over and fight to the death with these beasts and die together! But the last words of the company commander were deeply imprinted in Zhang Zheng's heart. He wanted to live well, and he wanted to live well for the dead company commander!

Zhang Zheng wiped away the tears from his face, slapped the gun on his shoulder, smashed the window, looked at the company commander for the last glance, and jumped out...

The gun in Zhang Zheng's hand has since become his most precious thing. It was the last glimmer of hope left to him by the company commander at the last moment of his life. Zhang Zheng never wanted to use it, and he was even more reluctant to let others touch it. In his opinion, the gun was like his life, all given by the company commander, and it was exchanged for his own life.

After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, he choked and could no longer say anything.

He stood up, picked up the rifle in his hand, and slowly walked out of the crowd with tears. He didn't want to stay in this team anymore, nor did he want to make everyone dislike him because of his cowardice.

He took out his luggage from the car and was about to leave.
