Chapter 18 The Evil of Human Nature

The survivors did not complain about the increased workload due to the sudden arrival of the second shift of soldiers. Instead, they felt very excited.

After experiencing those days of fear and anxiety, they wished they had as many soldiers as possible.

Gu Chengyuan and others were very satisfied with the meal. Hotpot is very versatile and can be made delicious without any skill level.

In addition to the food they ate to their heart's content, the soldiers had huge appetites. After eating to their heart's content, they went to the fourth floor to search again.

Gu Chengyuan was very encouraging about this, because if the meat and vegetables were not eaten in a few days, they would probably rot and be wasted.

After the two shifts had eaten and drunk their fill, they took a short rest and waited for the food to be digested.

At half past two, Gu Chengyuan issued another combat order.

This time, the two teams were divided into six combat teams. The three combat teams of the elite first team were responsible for the cleaning work of Unit 3 of Building .

The three combat teams of Class 4 are responsible for cleaning the first unit of Building next door.

The three combat teams of Class 1 advanced very quickly in the afternoon because of their combat experience in the morning and the "Master Key" shotgun.

The three combat teams of Class 2 were relatively slower, so Gu Chengyuan came to lead the team in person for fear of problems.

In terms of military quality, except for squad leader Lu Chong who is very experienced, the other soldiers in Class 2 seem a bit old and not new.

If I have to describe it precisely, it's like a soldier who has just been promoted from private to non-commissioned officer.

Therefore, whether in terms of military proficiency or experience in fighting zombies, there is a big gap between Class 2 and Class 1.

Gu Chengyuan could only come over and watch to avoid any casualties.

Although in the system each warrior is a cold number with a clearly marked price.

But to Gu Chengyuan, they are all living people, his soldiers, and he has the responsibility to be responsible for their safety!

"Yes! Spread out the formation! Don't rush!"

"After you break the door, you need to move the hammer sideways faster! Also, don't open fire as soon as you see zombies at the firing point. Make sure your teammates retreat to a safe location before you open fire!"

"Although zombies are very fast, they are definitely not as fast as your bullets. Stay calm!"

...

"Are you fucking stupid? I told you to wait 10 seconds to enter the house even if you kill the zombies after breaking into the door."

"The room is so narrow. If you rush in, will you be able to react if you encounter someone at close range?"

"Zombies have no brains and can't ambush. All you need to do is make some noise and wait for them to come!"

When clearing zombies in the afternoon, the voice of Gu Chengyuan's instructions could be heard in the corridor. Sometimes, when he saw dangerous operations, he couldn't help but swear.

At this moment, he truly understood why his superiors had such a low tolerance for mistakes and such severe punishment for mistakes when he was serving before.

Because making a mistake in this profession may mean losing one's life, every mistake is heartbreaking and unbearable.

But this afternoon, the resettlement area was not just Gu Chengyuan's place, with only his voice.

When they arrived, it was not only the zombies that were roaring, but also the survivors in the nearby residential buildings!

The survivors, who had been huddled in their houses in fear, became extremely excited when they saw the army appear.

Standing on the balcony, or sticking your head out of the window, shouting loudly:

"Help!"

"Help me! I'm trapped at home!"

"I'm here, look at me!"

There were all kinds of shouts, and some people even took out their bed straps and quilt covers and waved them desperately to attract attention!

However, these cries did not attract the rescue of Gu Chengyuan's troops, but instead attracted the zombies in the building for them.

The roars of the zombies and the sharp scratching sounds at the door made these people even more terrified, as if they were drowning people trying to grasp at the last straw and calling for help more and more frantically.

Facing Jia Sanniu and Lu Chong's requests on the intercom, Gu Chengyuan gave the order to continue the mission with a cold face.

This was only the second day after the apocalypse broke out, and these people were quite safe, both in terms of the food reserves at home and the strength of the security doors.

There are eight residential buildings in the entire community, and the survivors are very scattered. Rescuing them at this time will not only affect efficiency, but it will also be less safe than now.

And it's good to let them experience despair, so that these people don't live before the end of the world, put themselves in the right position, and know who can save them.

The cold and stubborn attitude of Gu Chengyuan's troops was seen by the survivors in the building who were anxiously calling for help, and many people panicked for a moment.

The panic turned into inexplicable anger, and the cries for help turned into vicious swords.

"You soldiers, why don't you come to save me? I know, you are here to save the officials!"

"Yes, yes, I often expose these things online, and some idiots on the Internet even say that I am a spy!"

Someone turned on the camera on his phone.

"Look, these are our Zhou Bang soldiers! They don't care about our lives at all. They usually speak better than singing. When danger comes, they only protect the officials!"

Some even went so far as to directly activate the destruction mode, taking out pots and pans from home and throwing them in Gu Chengyuan's direction:

"Damn it, if I can't survive, none of you can survive either! Everyone, throw things over there and lure the zombies over there!"

"Die together!"

Facing this chaotic scene, Gu Chengyuan's already cold face became even colder.

Although I had expected it and even planned it, I still got angry.

Just now, some rescued survivors had clearly taken the initiative to shout and comfort people, but these people would not listen to anything.

They also threw ceramic bowls at the survivor. Although the survivor was not hit because of the long distance, he still bleed from the flying pottery fragments.

The rescued survivors were filled with anger upon seeing this, and some of the extreme ones even asked to be left alone and allowed to die here.

This group of people just wouldn't listen. In their eyes, if someone didn't come to rescue them immediately, there must be something fishy going on, and whoever was rescued would be rich and powerful.

Their anger made them forget that they were living in a resettlement area, so where would so many dignitaries come from?

Perhaps what they are seeking is not the facts, but an outlet for their fear and anger.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Chengyuan's second team had already arrived at the 4th floor of Unit 18, Building .

According to Jia Sanniu's report on the other end of the intercom, they had already finished cleaning 3 buildings and were currently cleaning the 4th floor of Unit , Building .

As the cleanup progressed, survivors were rescued one after another, but in the face of the survivors' numerous thanks, Gu Chengyuan's face remained grim.

"Li Kun! Li Kun! Please answer if you hear me!"

"Roger that!"

"Ask the survivors if there are any cars parked downstairs in the community that belong to them. We need to requisition them for transportation!"

"We expect to finish here in half an hour!"

"Understood! Chief!"

Li Kun is a sniper specially left behind by Gu Chengyuan to temporarily guard the survivors. With the end of the world approaching, people's hearts are in turmoil, and they must be deterred to avoid chaos.

After hanging up the intercom, Gu Chengyuan spoke to the soldiers of the second squad who had just finished cleaning the 18th floor and were waiting for his next instructions:

"There are two floors left. Once we're done cleaning up, we'll be ready to return! Don't let your guard down! We must finish safely!"

"understand!"
