Shenhai Island was one of them . Shen Tao was clear that Jiang Liushi’s team was strong so they must have heard about Safety island .
Although the military evacuated, some were retained in the Satellite Town . In order to get some special weapons, Jiang Liushi’s team had come in contact with the military . Ever since Shen Tao revealed his identity, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun had complicated expressions .
They were the most ordinary people, so they were angry with the military establishing a Safety Island and abandoning them . Although they knew clearly that the military couldn’t protect everyone, they still couldn’t accept the cruel truth . They were poor guys struggling to survive in a cruel world . But the ones before them were some elites protected by the army .
Although they did not say anything, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun’s expressions obviously turned cold . Jiang Liushi also revealed a glimmer of thoughtful look because he thought of a person…
That was Li Yuxin, who helped him successfully refit his minibus . Moreover, at that critical juncture, Li Yuxin had called to tell him where to escape, which let Jiang Liushi believe that she was kind . He would like to know about Li Yuxin…
Their reactions couldn’t escape Shen Tao’s eyes . He was clear about what those survivors thought . Only that little girl didn’t know why the atmosphere was colder .
"My friends, my comrades and I are not only soldiers but also ordinary people . After the virus escalated, we were arranged to a toll station intersection to help survivors . At that time, we were told that even we were likely to become monsters, and once this happened, we had to be killed immediately . Nobody believed it, but suddenly we all fainted . When I woke up, two officials beside me had turned into monsters…"
"In the end, we among a total of 500 officers and soldiers, only 72 people left . All of us were dismayed and worried . We were worried about our loved ones but we still had our mission . We remained in our position and let all the survivors meet with troops . We didn’t retreat until the zombies arrived in large quantities . Finally, only 27 of us arrived at Safety Island . The other members of our army were wiped out . "
"But the survivors we protected are all alive . " Shen Tao suddenly said, but the little girl, Zhang Jiaying, didn’t know why he said so .
However, she couldn’t help crying and said, "You are heroes . And this time, in order to accompany us to Safety Island, dozens of your comrades died…"
That old professor Zhang was silent for a moment, but also said, "I am just an old ordinary man, and I do not think I am more special than others . If I can help you with anything, I will try my best… I feel sorry for those excellent soldiers . "
Zhang Hai and Sun Kun’s looks became a bit complicated . They shook their heads and remained silent . After that, they began dissecting the mutant boa .
"Where did you come from?" Jiang Liushi thought for a moment and asked .
"Jiaying and I have been hiding since the disaster began . But later we were contacted by the military via radio, so they sent Shen captain to take us to Shenhai Island . " Professor Zhang answered .
"Professor Zhang and so on were taken to a safe place originally, but all the other team members died . Fortunately, professor Zhang found a safe place to hide . " Shen Tao didn’t give many details .
"That is very lucky," Jiang Liushi nodded . He understood that because Ran Xiyu had faced something similar . Doomsday was unbearably cruel to them . Everybody needed to take his or her chance .
"But I have used up all my luck . " Shen Tao revealed a wry smile, "I’d like to tell you the truth that there is no way for us to reach Shenhai Island safely with our current ammunition and manpower . So…"
"So you would like to know whether we are interested . . . " Jiang Liushi continued his words .
Shen Tao smiled because he would like to let Jiang Liushi help them . There were only four people left on his team . To be frank, there were only three because a comrade’s hand was hurt by that monster .
The mutant boa’s saliva contained toxins . As a result, his arm was turning red . The wounded soldier came down from the truck . That soldier looked even younger than Jiang Liushi, he was 18 years old with a round face . However, his lips had turned black and purple, and blood was ceaselessly flowing along his arm . After getting off, he waved his hand toward Shen Tao and opened his mouth, revealing a trace of a cute look .
"It's Biao brother . " Zhang Jiaying said and was about to run toward him . But the soldier just smiled and shook his hand to Zhang Jiaying, "Little Jiaying, Biao brother has something to do . Please do not follow me . "
Zhang Jiaying was stunned for a moment .
"Captain, I will go for a walk . " He carrying a parcel waved to Shen Tao . Shen Tao was about to speak but said nothing .
So he looked his brother turning around and slowly walking to a shop nearby . Looking at his back, Zhang Jiaying somehow suddenly felt grieved . She had a feeling…
"Jiaying, let your Biao brother alone for a while . " Professor Zhang said in a low voice . Shen Tao was silent and subconsciously searched his pocket for a cigarette . However, he gained nothing; he was out of cigarettes for a few days now .
All the soldiers became silent . A few seconds later, a light sound came from that shop . It seemed that the table was knocked over and Shen Tao silently walked to that shop . Zhang Jiaying cried out immediately and then covered her mouth with both hands .
Jiang Liushi sighed, also carrying a gun from the car, followed them . The door was opened, and they saw the soldier lying in a pool of blood; a tri-edge bayonet was stuck on his chest .
He did not use bullets because their bullets would be used up soon . Shen Tao did not speak and then picked up his package, which had nothing except an empty wallet with two photos of his family .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
One was a photo of a middle-aged kind couple . The other one was a girl dressed in simple attire . She had dyed black hair . . . At that moment, Jiang Liushi felt sorrowful . In peacetime, family and friends would treasure one’s story . But after doomsday, who would treasure it?
The sun was sinking . Jiang Liushi was quietly watching Shen Tao and the other soldiers move all their comrades’ bodies into that shop .
Shen Tao put Biao’s photos into his pocket, and then blocked the door of that shop and started a fire . Their eyes were wet . A few brothers took Biao's military cap down and hung it on the burning fire .
At that moment, the army emblem seemed exceptionally bright because of the flames . Shen Tao removed a pot of water from his waist . "Brother, I know you usually love to drink . Farewell, my dear compatriot…"
Water spilled on the ground washing the blood on it .
"Today, the military emblem is your monument and the battlefield your mound . You were all outstanding people . Farewell, my dear compatriots . "
Before the raging fire, three soldiers standing before the corpses and facing the small military cap made a military salute .
Seeing the scene, Jiang Liushi was absorbed in his own thoughts .
