According to the evacuation order set by Zhang Xiaoqiang, weapons and ammunition would come first, then food and materials, then women, then the backbone force, the close combat army, and finally the poor people. If the front line was broken through, Zhang Xiaoqiang would use the gasoline collected on the highway to buy time and lead his soldiers to cross the river first. As for those poor people who only had a glimmer of hope, he could only say sorry.
The zombies were still advancing, and there were only two days left until the last position. The steam ferry had already started to transfer the women, but two days was only enough for these women to cross the river. The rest of the time depended on whether Zhang Xiaoqiang could defend or not.
But this time was different from the last time. Last time when they crossed the bridge, many poor people were lined up at the back, which made them feel fear. From time to time, they would approach the steam ferry to see what was going on, but they were all chased away by the soldiers guarding the steam ferry. After hearing the news, Zhang Xiaoqiang had a murderous intent towards those poor people who approached the steam ferry. He would not allow anyone to destroy his fruit...
"Only one last step left. In the past month, every one of us has been trembling with fear as if we were walking on thin ice. Half of the old brothers who set off with me have already died. Now we are finally going to get rid of this nightmare."
In the temporary meeting room, several people in charge were present, including the leaders of the forces that Zhang Xiaoqiang had taken in. Among them, there were armed police, Qiao Na, Mu Peipei, and the others, including the newly formed artillery team leader Ding Jianwei.
As Zhang Xiao Qiang spoke from above, the people below remained silent. They were all survivors who had gone through this calamity. Before this, Liu Zhenghua had died, Qian Kaixi had died, and many other influential figures had perished. Those who were still alive were all because of Zhang Xiao Qiang, and they were all clear about that.
"In this nightmare that we experienced, many people died, killed by zombies, killed by me, and killed by each other. Not to mention my subordinates, which of your troops didn't lose members?
Which troop did not persist in despair?
Eight thousand people died in battle. Among them were the soldiers I brought from the base, the armed police, the police, the female soldiers, Wen Wen's troops, the volunteers who suffered the most casualties, and of course, the leader of the soldiers.
They didn't die in vain. They bought us time to retreat from the colony. Without them, I admit that I wouldn't have been able to save so many people. At most, I would only be able to save a third of them.
I have also killed a lot of people, over ten thousand, but I think it is worth it to use these ten thousand lives to save the remaining seventy thousand people. Now, the poor people that we have saved are plotting against the steamship again.
What do you think?
Should I kill these fellows who might cause chaos for the sake of the remaining 50,000 people? "
As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang said this, no one could remain calm. There was an uproar as everyone whispered to each other. Among them, Zhang Huai An was so scared that his face turned green. This time, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly thought of killing twenty thousand people, and these twenty thousand people might cause chaos. It was completely presumptuous and absolutely indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
No one in the group agreed, including Wen Wen and Guo Fei who never cared about others, and Li Zhi who had personally killed thousands of people, they were all shocked.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang finished his proposal, he didn't say anything else. He squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair, one hand tapping on the armrest. He seemed to be in deep thought. Only the occasional flash of light in his eyes reminded everyone that he was waiting for everyone to agree or disagree.
The people sitting below did not dare to say anything. The killing intent on Zhang Xiaoqiang's body was getting stronger and stronger. No matter how many people died, it was just a set of numbers in his heart, as long as the people who died were not people close to him.
The current Zhang Xiaoqiang was terrifying. Even Huang Quan and Zhang Huai An were respectful in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was becoming more and more like a superior. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang's current mentality was not right. He felt that his hands had slipped from killing people, and he couldn't stop himself.
Zhang Xiaoqiang waited for five minutes. The noise below gradually subsided, and in the end, there was no sound. Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that everyone had agreed, so he finally opened his eyes and looked at the people below, revealing a trace of a smile.
The smiling Zhang Xiaoqiang revealed his white teeth and nodded to the crowd. He cleared his throat and was ready to announce. Mu Peipei suddenly stood up, pointing at Zhang Xiaoqiang and scolded loudly, "You murderous maniac, you butcher, your eyes have already turned red, no matter if it's people or zombies, you want to kill them all. Are you going to kill the survivors after you kill all the survivors, then kill us, your subordinates, and finally kill all your subordinates, at that time you will be the only one left …"
Mu Peipei stared with her round eyes, pointing at Zhang Xiaoqiang and slightly trembling. Her tone was very fierce, with some inexplicable meaning.
Mu Peipei's words did not cause the other people to agree, because when Mu Peipei spoke, they were also involved. If they agreed, didn't it mean that they also suspected that Zhang Xiaoqiang would kill them one day?
"Presumptuous, shut up …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang smashed the armrest, suddenly stood up and looked at Mu Peipei. His eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted at Mu Peipei:
"At the bridgehead, because of those men making trouble, how much time did we waste?
How many soldiers sacrificed in vain?
Isn't the lesson enough?
Let me tell you the truth, I don't have the confidence to stop the zombies' attack, and the civilians can't cross the river, because I want to bring our soldiers over. Time, there is no time, do you understand? "
When Mu Peipei heard Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, she sneered, and then it turned into a crazy laugh. She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, clutching her stomach, and said with squinted eyes: "Ha, time?
You used three days to transport the weapons and supplies, and didn't even send a single person over?
Three days of time was squandered by you, and you are here talking about time?
In your eyes, the survivors who followed you for hundreds of miles are far less than your supplies. For these supplies, you are willing to give up all these people, and now you want to kill them with your own hands because of a groundless accusation. Do you still have a little bit of humanity, are you still a human … "
"Shut up, get out, all of you get out …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang flew into a rage out of humiliation, and in an outburst, he drove everyone out. Although he was angry, Zhang Xiaoqiang also found that he was not right. He was easily angered, and it was hard to suppress his murderous nature. It seemed that the continuous accumulation of pressure and tiredness made him become a powder keg on the edge of an explosion, so he didn't continue to quarrel with Mu Peipei, and wanted to calm down alone.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang lost his temper, everyone got up and walked out, one faster than the other. Zhang Xiaoqiang sat down heavily on the broken armrest of the chair, looked at his palms, and found that there were countless red lines intersecting on his palms, it was so dazzling.
After a long time, the footsteps gradually dispersed, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that there was no one else in the meeting room, and raised his head to let out a long breath, but this breath was only half released, he saw Mu Peipei looking at him with a cold face.
The anger that he had already restrained rushed to his brain, Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted at Mu Peipei:
"What are you still doing here?
Get out, I told you to get out, get out … "
"Hmph, what right do you have to use this tone to talk to me, I am not a slave raised by your family, I want to see, what kind of moral character does this Zhang Xiaoqiang that they respect so much, does he enjoy other people's compliments?
Does he enjoy the pleasure of killing people with a word? "
Mu Peipei did not leave, she was arrogant and tenacious, the newly recruited 300 female soldiers were all found among the poor, these female soldiers made her very satisfied, for these female soldiers, she also wanted to make Zhang Xiaoqiang give up the decision of massacre, not to mention that killing more than 20,000 people was also a nightmare for Mu Peipei, she did not want this nightmare to happen in front of her.
"My business is none of your business, you are not related to me, what I do has nothing to do with you, before I get angry, you disappear for me, disappear far away, immediately take your female soldiers across the river for me, I don't want to see you again …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, he did not want to hurt this woman that made him feel guilty, simply let Mu Peipei disappear was the best way, at the same time use the female soldiers as bait, let Mu Peipei give up on pestering him.
Who knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang had made a wrong idea, if it was before, Mu Peipei may not want to lose her female soldiers, but she finally understood that if a woman wanted to be independent, she must first be strong, and if she wanted to be stronger than a man, she must prove it on the battlefield.
"I will not leave, I also will not let you massacre those poor people.
If they were killed by zombies, I have nothing to say, but if they were killed by our own people, I can't be indifferent to it, I want to stay here, if you want to kill people, then kill me first, anyway you almost killed me last time … "
Mu Peipei was really not a smart woman, if it was Shanghai Qiaoyun, she would use Zhang Xiaoqiang's guilt to vent her little temper, let Zhang Xiaoqiang unconsciously reduce his anger, and finally agree to her request. Mu Peipei always did not put men in her eyes, naturally her words were especially blunt, and she was against Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"You think I don't dare?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up, walked in front of Mu Peipei, and stared at Mu Peipei's eyes, with a kind of evil. Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang's evil eyes, Mu Peipei felt slightly cold in her heart, and took a step back, at the same time, as if to prove that she was not afraid of Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Huff … huff …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang restrained the evil in his eyes, took a few deep breaths, waved his hand, and said to Mu Peipei:
"Disappear before I completely lose my temper, otherwise …"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's words.
The reckless Mu Peipei thought that Zhang Xiao Qiang had admitted defeat, and couldn't help but take a mile after taking an inch.
"Otherwise what?"
