Chapter 170
After Yanlie took office, he adjusted the positions of some personnel. He also stipulated that the ministers and section chiefs of each department should have one official and one deputy, and the number of members should increase or decrease according to the size of the base.
What is more special is that the head of the safety management department will be directly served by the head of the group, while the deputy head of the education and special training department will be the head of the group.
The employment situation was basically in line with everyone's wishes, except that Cen Jinwei's role as the deputy team was subject to various discussions, but seeing that the parties had no objections, and Zhao Yan was indeed suitable, the discussion gradually faded away.
The road to the future plan is still going on, and the pathway mission of the third stage will start immediately.
According to the plan, it takes ten blocks to go from the mountain-crossing safety zone to the destination, six of which are next to the Beishan Mountain, and four of which go straight north. The last one is the end of the future road and will eventually be built in the city place in the safe zone.
Because of the long distance, a suburban safety zone needs to be established at the foot of the southernmost mountain in Beishan to provide supplies.
Although most of the zombies are concentrated in the northeast of City S, which is where the stadium and the university town are located, this is a big city with a population of more than 1000 million after all, and the level of danger soars.
To ensure safety, the ten blocks were divided into twenty mission points that were not completely regular.
Due to the blocked roads, this task cannot be completed with large machinery, and the interval between the areas can only be completed gradually, and the risk factor is higher than before.
Especially in the task of attracting corpses, a little carelessness may cause unpredictable disasters.In order to reduce the risk, most of the corpses were expelled this time, and large-scale centralized killings were not carried out.
The beginning of the mission is the North Station. The six areas from the North Station to the westernmost side of the Beishan Mountains are called the second area, and the area next to the second area is planned as a suburban safety area.
The three consecutive areas north of the suburban safety area are called the third area, and the end of the third area is the ultimate goal of the future road, the inner city safety area.
The second district is divided into two sections, north and south, and subdivided into twelve mission points according to the streets.
The missions of the north and south sections are carried out simultaneously. The members performing the missions of the northern section start from the northern station and perform tasks facing west; the members performing the missions of the southern section start from the mountain-crossing safety zone and perform tasks heading north.
The mission in the northern section does not kill zombies, it is only responsible for leading the zombies in the mission point away from the mission point, and setting up a simple fence around the mission point.
The task in the southern section is responsible for attracting the zombies in the middle of the two sections to the southern mountain range, and strangling them on a large scale.
At the same time, a team of people is needed to continuously lead the zombies on the western periphery of the mission point to a farther position, so as to reduce the task load of the passage mission as much as possible.
After the completion of the introduction of the corpse, it is the task of enclosing the body, which is completed by two groups of people.
A group of people set up a protective belt five kilometers away from the designated road, and the other group needs to quickly block the designated road section to minimize the possibility of zombies entering from the outside.
Because the whole area is not cleared, the last sweeping task only targets buildings within the specified road section. In order to save time as much as possible, this task is carried out alternately by two groups day and night.
In order for the tasks to go smoothly, each task is led by the holder of the special badge or the strong person related to the ability.
As of today, there are more than 100 primary badge holders in the base, and the number of people who have obtained intermediate badges has also exceeded the first suffix. different.
Three days later, the first day of the sweeping mission, late at night.
Cen Jin, who was in charge of guiding the new survivors, waited for the last team to return at the assembly point, but found that one person was missing, "Where is Tang Nan? Aren't you a group?"
"We left after he replied, so..." Several people said with distressed faces.
"It's okay." Cen Jin said gently, "Go back and rest, I'll go over and have a look."
"That's too much trouble for you, why don't I just shout some more!" The person who carried out the mission with Tang Nan suggested.
"Don't! I don't know if the surrounding area is absolutely safe!" Another person said nervously.
"Sorry, sorry." The man said shyly, "I didn't think that much."
"Okay, you guys go back a few times, I'll come back when I go." Cen Jin arranged.
They nodded and followed Cen Jin's instructions to return to the temporary residence with the main force, while Cen Jin went alone to the residential building that Tang Nan was in charge of.
Activating the auditory ability, Cen Jin listened for the sound of human activities in the corridor.
It wasn't until I got to the fifth floor that I heard some noises, and walked in some more, and found that it was the roar of zombies!
Cen Jin's heart tightened, and he quickly moved to the vicinity of the sound source, but saw an even more shocking scene.
Tang Nan had already taken off his protective gear, and was sitting beside a bed, motionless.Because he was too focused, he didn't even notice that someone was approaching beside him.
Although the night vision goggles are not clear enough, it is still easy to judge the state of a zombie.
The zombie was tied to the bed, and judging from her messy hair and torn skirt, she should be being persecuted when the corpse transformed!
Cen Jin's memory was suddenly brought back to when he first met Lin Qiange...
I don't know if she is still alive, or if she is alive.And the child, if alive, would be nearly a year old.
Before the thoughts came back, Tang Nan was putting his hand into the mouth of the zombie!
Before he had time to think, Cen Jin appeared next to Tang Nan in an instant, and blocked the zombie's teeth with his hand before pushing Tang Nan's hand away, "You don't want to die!"
Because the hand was too close to the zombie's teeth, a cut was accidentally cut, Cen Jin immediately put his hand behind his back, and activated the healing ability to heal quickly.
"Your hand!" Tang Nan said in horror, his eyes widened.
Cen Jin took out his healed left hand, wiped off the gray-black blood on it, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of blood on her teeth."
Seeing that Cen Jin was safe, Tang Nan was relieved, but his heart was full of guilt, "I'm really sorry, I... I'm really sorry."
"So why?" Cen Jin asked tentatively.
"I'm sorry..." Tang Nan kept apologizing, but didn't say a word about the reason, just wiped away his tears furtively.
Cen Jin was not easy to persecute, but only waited for Tang Nan to feel better before comforting him: "No matter what the world is like, people have good and evil, and fate has good and bad."
"I understand." Tang Nan lowered his head, still depressed.
"You escaped with great difficulty, and the day has just begun, why can't you figure it out?" Cen Jin looked at Tang Nan in puzzlement, and then at the zombie on the bed, "Does this zombie have any special meaning? know?"
Tang Nan lowered his head and didn't speak, but judging from the trembling fist, he was very excited.
"Maybe I can help you?"
"Or as a tree hole?"
Cen Jin continued to guide, and the reason for doing this was because he felt that Tang Nan was worth making friends with. If he could take this opportunity to get closer, it would be a good thing.
Cen Jin sighed, "Actually, I have heard something about you, and know that you are an orphan. But do you know? Most members of the Blood Blade Squad are orphans, and some were even sold by their parents."
Seeing Tang Nan raised his head slightly, Cen Jin added: "It's okay for those who are young and don't remember things, but for those who are older, it is more painful, and it is difficult to heal this pain even in a lifetime."
"Selled?" Tang murmured incredulously, with a trace of sympathetic pain in his eyes.
Cen Jin nodded, "But look, because of the apocalypse, the minority has become the majority, and some things seem to be less painful."
"That's right..." Tang Nan smiled wryly, and after a while, he sighed, "I grew up in an orphanage, but I'm not considered an orphan."
"After my father went to jail, my mother committed suicide, and because no one came to claim me, I was sent there."
"Heh!" Tang Nan sneered sarcastically, with some indifference in his words, "My mother reported it, and even produced evidence of his crime."
"The most ridiculous thing is that my mother is also a victim..."
Cen Jin didn't expect Tang Nan to bear such a past, and couldn't think of words of comfort for a while, so he could only listen silently, acting as a listener.
"No one is happy about my birth, so I am called Tang Nan." Tang Nan laughed at himself, but a rare tenderness flashed in his eyes and said: "But I know that my mother loves me, otherwise she would not Will always take me with you."
"It's just..." Tang Nan quickly wiped away his tears, "It's just that the pressure of those public opinions is too great, my mother can't bear it..."
"Compared to my father, I think I hate those despicable people with moral masks more."
Cen Jin felt sore. In his previous life, wasn't he also harmed to pieces by this kind of person...
There was more empathy in Tang Nan's eyes, and his tone was gentler, "So you want to die by its hands?"
"It's good to end with this." Tang Nan smiled wryly, but there was no trace of relief in his eyes.
Although Cen Jin didn't know how much unspeakable pain Tang Nan had endured, he could understand the look in his eyes. Apart from unwillingness and resentment, there was also disappointment with this world.
At this moment, Cen Jin clearly felt that Tang Nan was the same kind of person as himself.
The only difference is that his hatred is crazier, more hysterical, and more endless.
"If you hate, then seriously hate." Cen Jin looked at Tang Nan with a firm and serious tone, "Because you hate, you have to work harder to live."
Tang Nan was stunned for a moment, then waited for a long time before speaking: "I thought... I thought you would persuade me to let go of the past."
"I advise, can you let it go?"
Tang Nan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Since you can't let it go, why force it?"
"Yeah... why bother?"
"It takes time to be relieved, you can take it slowly. But before you are relieved, you have to work hard to live, so that you will not leave regrets when you are relieved."
Tang Nan bowed his head in thought, and looked at Cen Jin again after a few minutes, with some firmness in his eyes, "I will start my life again, without regrets!"
Cen Jin smiled in relief, then looked at the room where the female zombie was, "Let's start."
Tang Nan clenched the dagger at his waist and returned to the room.
Cen Jin didn't want to interfere with Tang Nan's choice, nor did he urge him, but just waited quietly at the door.A few minutes later, there was no more zombie sound in the house.
"Thank you." Tang Nanman said sincerely, "If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be having a better time now."
"It's your luck." Cen Jin smiled, and said with a heartfelt wish: "From now on, you will be lucky if you survive a catastrophe."
"It's very lucky to meet you." Tang Nan nodded and said with some emotion.
"Huh?" Cen Jin raised his eyebrows, and exaggerated deliberately: "Don't talk nonsense, my family is very jealous, and he specializes in attacking your wood department."
Tang Nan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in a little panic, "I didn't mean that!"
Seeing Cen Jin laughing out loud, Tang Nan realized that he was being teased. While laughing, he couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you."
Cen Jin looked sideways, and deliberately teased: "Envy me for having an excellent partner?"
Tang Nan was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Perhaps, I envy you for having someone important."
"I believe that you will also be able to find the right person and grow old with you." Cen Jin blessed.
Maybe he thought of someone, Tang Nan suddenly looked a little shy, but quickly settled down and nodded firmly.
Talking and laughing, the two returned to the temporary residence, and saw Yanlie waiting at the door from a long distance away, with a serious expression on his face.Tang Nan paused, feeling bad.
"You go in first." Cen Jin smiled and patted Tang Nan on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
Tang Ku took one look with a serious expression on his face, and disappeared in front of the two of them without looking back.
"Are you happy?" Yanlie finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"Happy!" Cen Jin deliberately teased, but seeing the grievance in Yanlie's eyes, he immediately surrendered, "But seeing you is even happier!" He took the initiative to put his arms around Yanlie's waist, "I haven't seen you for a day It's like three autumns."
Yanlie's jealousy came and went slowly, although his face softened, he still couldn't help asking: "What did you two say? I saw you two smiling there from afar."
"We just chat casually." Cen Jin said helplessly.
"What are you talking about casually?" Yanlie asked thoroughly.
Cen Jin was amused by Yan Lie's inquiring appearance, so he deliberately didn't say anything.
Seeing that Cen Jin was deliberately teasing him, Yanlie became even more curious about the content of the conversation, and the two fought and romped along the way, feeding others a lot of dog food.
After finally returning to the exclusive lounge, there was another commotion, before Cen Jin explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"Injured?" Yanlie took Cen Jin's left hand and put it to his lips again, "Don't do this next time."
"I'm in a hurry." Cen Jin explained.
"I've never seen you care so much about other people." Yanlie said again with jealousy.
"Maybe we share the same illness." Cen Jin sighed, "It's not easy for him to live to this day."
Yanlie's heart twitched suddenly, he hugged Cen Jin into his arms, and said firmly: "One day, we will take back what they owe you."
"good."?
