Huang Quan was in a sorry state, the helmet on his head was nowhere to be seen, the epaulets were taken away, and the strap of the epaulets was dangling from his shoulders. His uniform was covered in dust, and the magazine in front of his chest was also missing. His pistol was broken by the Jing Wei Sword, and the magazine on his belt was gone as well. Not only that, even his military knife was gone. Other than his uniform and shoes, the only thing left on Huang Quan was a military canteen.
"Where's your gun?"
Huang Quan was feeling a little uncomfortable under Chen Ye's gaze, and suddenly, Chen Ye's cold voice rang in his ears.
"It … it was kept by Zhang Huai An … and the bullets …"
At this point, Huang Quan lowered his head again. A soldier who couldn't even take a bullet was really not a soldier.
"Raise your head … and look at me …"
Huang Quan then raised his head and looked at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye's hands slowly touched her face, and then she took off the black cloth covering her face, revealing her scarred face in front of Huang Quan. Huang Quan had already seen it, so there was no change in his expression. Other than the doubt in his eyes, he knew that Chen Ye's face was a taboo.
The scars on Chen Ye's face looked scary, but that was only the first impression. Her scars were very shallow, but if one looked closely, they would realize that other than the mottled scars, Chen Ye was actually very beautiful. She couldn't be compared to Qiaoyun from Shanghai, couldn't be compared to Yuan Yi, but compared to the other women in the base, she could be considered to be in the top tier.
Chen Ye's eyes were very bright. Her large, clear, and translucent eyes reflected the light of the fire. They were like the bright moon in the dark night, or the dewdrops reflecting the sunlight in the morning. They illuminated Huang Quan's heart, and all the grievances and sufferings disappeared along with the fire in her eyes.
"You like me?"
Chen Ye asked softly. Huang Quan nodded.
"I don't like you …"
This was the first time Chen Ye had clearly expressed her refusal.
Huang Quan wasn't surprised to hear Chen Ye's rejection. He had already expected it. When he was kicked away by Zhang Xiaoqiang, when Zhang Huai'an took away his rifle and bullets with a straight face, and when he was ridiculed by his teammates, he knew that he was no longer worthy of this cold girl. Therefore, he had already mentally prepared himself.
Huang Quan thought that he had died a long time ago. He was kicked to death by Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was living for Chen Ye. Perhaps, after Chen Ye's leg was healed, he would find a secluded place to kill himself.
"I don't like a piece of trash …" Chen Ye gave the reason.
Huang Quan didn't think that Chen Ye's reason was wrong at all. Similarly, he also thought that this reason was the best and most direct reason. Huang Quan nodded expressionlessly and said, "I know, you're right …"
"No … you don't know."
Huang Quan's expressionless face was broken. He looked at Chen Ye in astonishment. He didn't know why Chen Ye would say that.
Chen Ye glanced at the astonished Huang Quan. She reached out and grabbed her small bag. Her right hand searched inside the bag for a moment before she took out something and handed it to Huang Quan.
In her clean and fair little hand was a heavy pistol. It was very big, even bigger than Huang Quan's Type 92 pistol. The body of the pistol was made entirely of steel and looked very heavy.
Huang Quan subconsciously took the pistol that looked like it had been around for a long time. When he repeatedly looked at this pistol that he had never seen before, Chen Ye's cold voice once again sounded in his ears.
"This is the M1911A1 pistol. Boss Zhang gave it to me in the past. Later on, he gave me the Type 92 pistol. I only have this pistol left. I'm giving it to you."
Huang Quan was still a little confused as he held the pistol. He didn't know why Chen Ye gave it to him. Could it be that she wanted him to use this gun to commit suicide?
"I like men with balls. If you want me to bear a child for you, then you have to prove it to me."
Finally, Chen Ye revealed her intentions. Chen Ye's words were like a clear spring that poured into Huang Quan's heart. Huang Quan caressed the M1911A1 and looked at Chen Ye with a firm gaze. He nodded heavily.
Huang Quan and Chen Ye could be considered to have succeeded. None of this had anything to do with Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was lying on a makeshift bed piled up with a pile of cloth, thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.
The "weng weng" sound of the diesel generator came from afar. The light from the ceiling illuminated the entire workshop. With the bright light, Yang Ke-er and Meow played with their new toys, the two puppies.
Zhuang Zhuang had already drunk the medicine for the third time. It was in high spirits. Although it didn't have much energy, its naughtiness had surpassed Erlang Shen. The ruffian puppy Erlang Shen was sitting on the ground wagging its tail. It stared at the biscuit in Yang Ke-er's hand. Yang Ke-er was training it to shake hands with people. Zhuang Zhuang was biting Erlang Shen's tail to prevent it from shaking.
Looking at the picture of a young girl playing with dogs, Zhang Xiaoqiang was feeling at ease. Suddenly, an armed man walked over …
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, we've already sent people to check the surroundings. There aren't any zombie hordes. The nearest settlement is at least an hour's drive away. There aren't many scattered zombies either. It's just that …"
"Hmm?
Just what? Be more specific. We need to make sure nothing goes wrong. "Zhang Xiaoqiang reminded Lu Xiaobu. No matter how detailed he was, it wasn't enough.
"We've searched some of the houses. As long as it's a standalone building, someone has visited it. Almost all the resources have been moved. Food, clothes, bedding, stoves, and some furniture have been moved. There are survivors nearby …"
Hearing that there were survivors nearby, Zhang Xiaoqiang started to think. No matter what, survivors were easier to deal with than a zombie horde. They didn't lack any machine guns or cannons, so survivors really weren't that dangerous.
"Just pretend we didn't see anything. Our goal today is to have a good night's sleep. We'll leave early tomorrow. Searching for survivors isn't our goal. Increase the security at night and set up more alarms outside."
After receiving Zhang Xiaoqiang's orders, Lu Xiaobu nodded and left.
"Why did you pretend you didn't see anything? Didn't you always say that population is the greatest resource?
If you don't look for people, you won't be able to find them if they get eaten by zombies. "
Yang Ke-er hugged Erlang Shen while avoiding his tongue that was licking her face.
"We're going to WH City this time, so we don't have time to send the survivors to the base. These past two days, our team members have been worried and haven't had a good rest. No one knows what's going to happen next. We need to ensure our own safety first before we can think about other things. We need to let our people have a good night's sleep so that they have the energy to deal with the danger. Besides, it's very dangerous to bring a group of unknown people along."
"Oh …" Yang Ke-er nodded, not really understanding. She was just asking casually. Yang Ke-er didn't care about other people's lives. She turned around and saw Meow stealing two bags of biscuits from her bag to feed Zhuangzhuang. Thus, the two of them started to fight again.
With the walls, the area of defense was reduced. Four anti-aircraft machine guns were placed at the entrance, and a few large vehicles were parked at the other three sides of the walls. Three heavy machine guns were mounted on the roofs of the vehicles. The entire factory was safe. After dinner was over, the team members began to rest. The roaring generator in the distance was also turned off, and the entire factory fell into silence.
