The older driver brought a few children and walked to Zhang Xiaoqiang's side to express his gratitude. At the same time, he asked if Zhang Xiaoqiang was a citizen of the country.
Zhang Xiaoqiang ignored the old driver. In order to save them, he had sacrificed an excellent machine gunner, and the defense of the base had been reduced. The performance of this group of people after the S-Type zombies jumped onto the car made Zhang Xiaoqiang very disappointed. How many qualified members could he recruit from this group of people?
Don't even think about it.
The old driver was still asking questions. Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and looked at the main targets of today's rescue, four children.
Three little girls and a little boy, a total of four children. The oldest was 7-8 years old, and the youngest was 5-6 years old. They looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with timid faces. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at their dirty faces, and their pure black eyes that flashed with fear and shock. He sighed in his heart.
After the apocalypse, the survivors' lives were more miserable than the other. The women were worse off than the men, and the most miserable were the children who had yet to reach adulthood. They were the group that had the hardest time surviving, and they were also the first group to be abandoned when the adults met with danger. Even if they reached the colony, they were a dispensable group. The humans of the apocalypse had already tempered their hearts to be as hard as steel, and they were still struggling on the line between life and death. What right did they have to take care of a child who had nothing to do with them?
Seeing that the children still had some color on their faces, they were not as frail and weak as the little loli that was raised in Zhang Xiaoqiang's house. Zhang Xiaoqiang had a good impression of these people.
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and ordered two of his subordinates to throw the bodies of the old liberators out of the car. He didn't care about the zombie's body, but the human's body was doused with gasoline and lit up. Looking at the flames on the bodies, Zhang Xiaoqiang let the men and women get on the car.
A few people were dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaoqiang's tone of command, but when they saw two of his subordinates pointing their guns at them, they cooperated.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang and his three subordinates moved the machine gunner's body to the car, the people in the car were dissatisfied. The men impatiently said that it was bad luck, while the women loudly ridiculed Zhang Xiaoqiang and his men.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes turned cold, and his originally depressed mood was about to explode. A middle-aged man in his forties stood out.
"Comrade … I am XX County's Forestry Bureau Chief. Most of the people here are from the Forestry Bureau. I hope you can understand, we have our difficulties. Look, we fought so hard to get out, and now a comrade of ours has been sacrificed. He was a good comrade, he had worked for the Forestry Bureau for decades.
Speaking up to this point, the Forestry Bureau Chief seemed to be very sad. He wiped the corner of his eyes and said with a sob, "He's gone just like that, it's really tragic. He was killed by a monster right in front of us, look …"
He pointed at the crazy woman and said, "One of our female comrades was scared to the point of going crazy. Although she is crazy, we have to love her even more. We have to let her feel the warmth of a family. That way, this comrade's body will not be placed in our car, so that it won't agitate her. She still has a chance to recover."
"Hehehe …" Zhang Xiaoqiang heard the Forestry Bureau Chief laugh. Although he was laughing, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense. The Forestry Bureau Chief was frozen by the coldness in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, and his bones started to itch. The words that were at the tip of his tongue couldn't come out.
"Good … Very good … In order not to agitate her …" Zhang Xiaoqiang pointed at the crazy woman and said, "Then where do you think we should put my team member's body?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to get angry. Now that he was too angry, he wanted to slowly play with this group of unscrupulous people.
"How about this, I see that the roof of your car is very empty. You can tie him up there, if you think it's troublesome, then …" The Forestry Bureau Chief pointed at the burning body and did not speak.
He did not dare to speak again. Two black Type-56 rifles were pointed at his forehead. Dense cold sweat started to form on the Forestry Bureau Chief's forehead.
Looking at his team members who were aiming at him, he stammered, "Don't … Don't … Don't be agitated … Don't … Don't fire …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his right hand. The two team members lowered their rifles with red eyes.
"You want me to burn him?
Hmm?
Burn this unlucky person who rushed into the zombie horde to save you? "
The coldness in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes had become solid. None of the men and women in the car dared to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes. A few of the men looked at each other and stretched their hands towards the pile of junk behind them …
"No … No … It's not like that. You belong to that team … I can talk to your superiors …"
"Why can't we burn him?
Our people will still be burned. Otherwise, we will treat everyone equally. "A clear voice interrupted the Forestry Bureau Chief's words.
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned to look at a woman in the car. She was very young and beautiful. She had long wavy hair and a face that was as smooth as porcelain. Looking at this woman who still maintained her beauty, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that this woman had not suffered in the apocalypse. Looking at the bloody handprint on her left breast on her silk shirt, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that she was the woman that he had taken advantage of in the car.
Zhang Xiaoqiang lowered his head and looked at his toes. His right hand's pinky gently moved to his waist and the holster of the desert eagle was opened.
"I don't have a superior …"
"We are also not soldiers …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang said slowly.
He raised his head and looked at the people in the car with a gaze that could penetrate into one's soul. Word by word, he said through gritted teeth: "I … also … did … not … treat … you … as … humans!"
"Don't move …" The moment Zhang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, three men raised their rifles and aimed at Zhang Xiaoqiang and his team members.
What kind of person was Zhang Xiaoqiang? His eyes could see every expression on everyone's face. He could see every minute movement. When the men signaled with their eyes, he knew that he did not open the holster for the woman with the cheap mouth. His real target was the men.
Originally, seeing that the children were well taken care of, Zhang Xiaoqiang's impression of them was not that bad. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoqiang was completely disappointed with them. They had made Zhang Xiaoqiang and his subordinates feel cold. Zhang Xiaoqiang was purposely teasing them while thinking about their future arrangements.
Now, these people actually wanted to fall out with Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had risked his life to save them. This way, Zhang Xiaoqiang would completely treat them as enemies. To deal with enemies, Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally had his own methods.
