Chapter 74 Time and Human Harmony
The colonel's face was a little dark, "The willpower of this couple is too weak! Before the enemy attacks, their defense line collapses first. Such people are not suitable for survival in the end of the world!"
I sighed, "No, when we arrived, his family was fine. The zombies could not enter and left. Their children died at their own hands. It was so sad! He also blamed our military headquarters for not sending people, pointed at me and scolded me and finally drove me out with a knife."
Secretary Qin's face became even more gloomy, "Our base is not armed enough, how can we point all at the military headquarters to rescue when something happens? I answered the call from the couple. Last night, I called and said that there were too many zombies outside the door. Why don't you see others killing your children and committing suicide? The military headquarters has no responsibility for this matter!"
My legs were almost unable to control them, and my feet almost bounced under the table and kicked the woman hard. The Fourteenth Brother suddenly glanced at me, and his eyes were filled with two words: Control!
The colonel spoke: "Duoduo, you have been wronged as the representative of the military headquarters! The team is hard to manage. You have seen it with your own eyes. We have done everything for the islanders, but if we fail to do it well, we will be very complained. If they sit in this position, they may not be able to handle it well. But with you in the future, I am very confident that I will build the Changxing Island Base to a more complete one! I hope this kind of tragedy will not happen again in the future."
His short words not only soothe my heart of "being wronged", but also show my own difficulties, and shirk the responsibilities of the leader. Finally, he also expressed his importance to us and once again win over the hearts of the people. He is really smart!
If he could focus these thoughts on the feelings of the survivors, he could actually create a very good refuge. Unfortunately, he was wrongly focused and wanted to be the doomsday overlord as the fourteenth brother said, so we must overthrow you!
After dinner, Zhu Hong and others hurried back to report to the colonel about the clearance today. We returned to the colonel's office together, hoping to learn about the losses on the island after the heavy rain.
"Fifty-six islanders died, most of which were eaten up. A total of 39 scattered zombies were found, including the mutated islanders. They have all been killed and are burning on the beach. After counting, plus the zombies killed in the military headquarters and hospital last night, a total of nearly 200 zombies landed on the island. The landing was on the west coast, and they should have been rushed from the mainland by the current." Zhu Hong was very tired. He had not slept for a day or two nights, and his dark circles were particularly serious.
The colonel pursed his lips and pounded the table hard, "These damn things! So many of them are there at once!"
"Colin," Zhu Hong suddenly said in a deep voice, "Our military headquarters has too few people. Why don't we consider incorporating islanders and training them to form a militia? There is no shortage of guns and ammunition. What we lack is people, living people!"
The colonel's eyelids trembled slightly, and after a while, he said, "The islanders' quality is not uniform. Once they master the firepower, it is difficult to control it. Let's talk about this."
A hint of anger flashed across Zhu Hong's face, but she didn't say much.
"The woods are clear and carefully? Are you sure there are no leaking fish?" the colonel continued to ask.
"Today we started a long-term sweep, searching and creating noise. If there are still zombies in the dark, they will be attracted and they don't know how to hide. So the forest should be clean." Zhu Hong quickly returned to normal and still reported with a calm face.
"I didn't find any suspicious people?" the colonel asked.
He must have been referring to thunderstorm! I was shocked. I didn't expect that the colonel had not relaxed his vigilance against thunderstorm for so long. No wonder thunderstorm never found the opportunity to assassinate him.
"No, it's raining all day, and with our warning, most of the islanders are hiding at home and no one goes to the forest to wander around." Zhu Hong replied.
"Well, these night patrols should increase vigilance to prevent zombies from raiding residents. This time I heard so many casualties, I feel heartbroken!" The colonel patted his heart with his hands, feeling heartbroken, as if he really loved the people like his son. If the islanders died, they would be like their sons.
"Yes." Zhu Hong's expression was stiff, and she didn't react to the colonel's sudden emotional drama. The others were also a little stunned. Only Secretary Qin rushed up to comfort him in time: "College's Day! You didn't sleep all night last night, and you were exhausted from the Zen meditation. It's not easy to feel too sad. You should cherish your body!"
The colonel waved his hand, "You all go and do it, I'll be quiet by myself."
I followed Zhu Hong out of the colonel's office, went down to the second floor, and asked him softly: "The security department does not have enough staff, don't worry, take your time."
Zhu Hong smiled bitterly and shook her head, and went back to his security department.
The plan to impeach the colonel was a bit slow, but, just a few days ago? It would be a matter of three or two days to subvert a regime. It was already smooth.
The fourteenth brother and Iitaro followed me. Seeing Zhu Hong leave, they winked at me. The three of us quietly left the military headquarters, got into the car I drove, and drove towards home.
"Zhu Hong has a chance," I said to my fourteenth brother, "I went to find Bai Jinghai in the afternoon. She promised to do Zhu Hong's job, and she herself was very dissatisfied with the colonel's rule. Bai Jinghai and Zhu Hong had a fuss with Zhu Hong because of the child labor on the island, and Zhu Hong almost took her and Zhou Kai away from the island."
"That's great!" The fourteenth brother whispered, "I really can't understand the position of this person when I confront Zhu Hong several times. I tell you, this person is quite deep! The only thing I can be sure of is that he cares a lot about the little white girl."
"The wind blows by the pillow, nothing can be solved." Iitaro lazily took over the conversation in the back seat.
"Don't pretend to be like a person who has experienced it, you are still a child man." The fourteenth brother cursed with a smile.
"Oh? You? Really?" I looked at Iitaro in the rearview mirror and laughed, who rolled his eyes and refused to answer angrily.
"Fourth Brother, you are developing very quickly with the colonel." After I finished speaking, I wanted to see the side of the Fourteenth Brother.
The fourteenth brother smiled, "I tell you, this colonel's ambition to be an emperor is almost impossible to cover up. I pretend to make a calculation and tell him that it is a good time to make great achievements. You didn't see that his mind was all about consolidating his regime? This time, the zombie attack was attacked by heavy rainstorms. He did not adjust the military force at all to the people, causing many casualties. He would not go far if he lost the hearts of the people."
"Poor islanders suffer!" I parked the car in front of the home of the 14th brother and Iitaro, sighed, and explained what he saw during the day to him. When Xiao Min's mother mentioned that she couldn't help but burst into tears. If the military headquarters could arrive in time before the zombies entered, why would this happen?
The 14th brother and Iitaro were silent for a long time, and finally told me to stay calm and not to worry. The Great Wall was built by brick, and we must not fail.
"I tell you, today you almost betrayed you when you see Secretary Qin's eyes. Do you know?" Brother Fourteen warned me.
"If your eyes can kill people, Secretary Qin will die a hundred times today. Sister Duo, if I don't call you, you will be too impatient." Iitaro added. It turned out that this kid seemed to be burying his head during the meal, but he didn't expect that everything would fall into his eyes.
I was ashamed, "You two are saying very well. I was so excited today. I couldn't suppress my anger when I saw Secretary Qin."
"So many tragedies have happened," said the Fourteenth Brother. "You can imagine the emotions of the islanders. We have two different things, and God wants to destroy him."
It was cloudy and dark early on rainy days. When I arrived home, all the lights in the villa were on. When I entered the living room, I found that the home was very lively. Many friends were running back and forth on the upstairs and downstairs. I couldn't help but wonder what day this was?
"Sister Duo, you are finally back!" Tang Xiao smiled with two big eyes, why are you so happy?
"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang specially called us over. You really can't remember what day it was today?" Seeing that I was confused, Yang Guang couldn't help but remind me.
"Don't keep it aside. I'm so busy every day that I really can't remember." I scratched my head helplessly. The heavy rain just happened yesterday, and the rain didn't stop now. What else can there be good things?
"Today is Uncle Zhang's 66th birthday! You are such a filial and good daughter!" Aile'er glared at me dissatisfiedly and screamed. I really didn't remember this! I deserve to die!
The Luohan smiled and held a big bone while gnawing, "I took the initiative to kill a pig. Everyone didn't eat tonight, just wait for a big meal!"
"Is this my dad's big bone stick?" I pointed at the bone in his hand, and he nodded happily, "It was taken off the elbow that had just been out of the pot, and Uncle Zhang gave it to me."
"Your dad's birthday beheading pig, you won't have any objection, right?" The Arhat was like holding the sword above, and was extremely proud. I glared at him, and he still had to ask?
Shuai Shuai suddenly appeared in front of Luohan: "Uncle Luohan, do you want to listen to my newly learned nursery rhyme?"
The Luohan squatted down and nodded violently: "If you want it, please say it quickly!"
"12345, the Arhat is a pig." Shuishu said seriously.
We were collectively knocked down by thunder. The Luohan was so angry that his face turned purple. After a while, he asked Shuaishuai: "Who taught Shuaishuai?"
"Uncle Xiaomei!" Shuaishuai pointed upstairs, and we looked and found that Zhang Xiaomei was holding the railing and smiling.
Luohan bit his bones and thought about it, and said to Shuaishuai, "Come on, uncle will teach you another word, Brother Xiner, 23456, Xiaomei is a monkey. Go and sing for Uncle Xiaomei."
Shuishu muttered to go upstairs, and after a while, he stood in front of the Luohan again: "34567, the Luohan is the best fart."
The Luohan's face turned green again! "45678, Xiaomei is a big fool."
"Hey!" I finally couldn't bear it and cursed loudly: "You will teach my son badly! He never scolded people. Come, son, mom will teach you one thing: 56789, Luohan Xiaomei is going to be beaten!!!"
The world suddenly became quiet, the Arhat immediately disappeared, Xiaomei hid, leaving only Shuaishuai chanting the new nursery rhyme loudly, making her friends laugh to death.
"Dad, I wish you a happy birthday! I forgot your birthday, I'm sorry!" I walked to the kitchen and saw the kind old man wearing an apron and humming a small song. He hugged him behind him and said apologetically.
