Chapter 60 Love is Merciless

After confirming that the main force of the monkey group had been eliminated, the platoon leader of the infantry platoon arranged for one squad of soldiers to be on guard, while the other two squads began to shoot at the monkey corpses on the ground one by one.

Even when looking at a zombie monkey that has been beaten into pieces, the cautious soldier will never be stingy with his bullets and will not stop until he has completely smashed its head.

As anyone who has watched science fiction films knows, these mutated animals have very strong vitality and their fatal points are also very varied.

Only by completely and physically eliminating the possibility of its immortality can these warriors feel at ease!

As the combat mission officially entered the mopping-up stage, the infantry platoon leader took out his walkie-talkie and reported to Gu Chengyuan immediately.

"Reporting to the commander, the mission has been successfully completed. The monkey group, including the monkey king, has been annihilated, and only two or three of them were injured and escaped!"

"Please give us instructions for the next mission, Commander!"

"Count casualties and assist survivors in restoring order."

"Yes!"

After ending the call, Gu Chengyuan switched the walkie-talkie to Channel 2, which was the channel he used exclusively to communicate with civil affairs personnel.

"Cai Anxin, Cai Anxin, I'm Gu Chengyuan."

"Received! Commander, I'm Cai Anxin! I'm still alive!"

"The troops have cleared out the mutant monkeys. Please give me your instructions, Chief!" Cai Anxin's voice trembled on the intercom, with an irrepressible excitement of coming back from the dead.

"Organize the survivors, collect the bodies, do a good job of disinfection, and restore order."

"Yes! Please rest assured, Commander, I will complete the mission!"

Gu Chengyuan only gave a few brief commands, but it made Cai Anxin feel as if she had heard an imperial decree. She respected him from the bottom of her heart and wanted to do his best!

This was unthinkable before the attack. Although he behaved very respectfully before the attack, that was for survival. As an adult, who isn't an actor?

He could chat and laugh with the army commander before the end of the world, but only he himself knew how respectful he was to a battalion commander.

But after experiencing this attack, he suddenly realized that he was just an ordinary person who was trying to survive. When danger came, the only thing he could do was to lie in the corner like an ant and pray that he would not be noticed.

What does it matter how great your past achievements are? When danger comes, you can only wait and be killed like ordinary people.

At this heart-breaking moment, the troops appeared, like a hero standing on a colorful cloud, and crushed the danger that put him in a desperate situation in an almost invincible and brutal way.

So Cai Anxin, the former billionaire, died in the attack. Now that he is alive, he has rebuilt an altar in his heart to worship the god of force called firepower and caliber.

In his heart, Gu Chengyuan is the anchor of the God of Force in the real world.

After the call ended, under the organization of Cai Anxin, the survivors walked out of the building shelters one after another, asking each other and looking for their relatives and friends.

People in the crowd hugged each other excitedly when they found that the person they were looking for was still alive, and burst into tears when they confirmed that the person they were looking for had died in the attack.

Hope and despair are intertwined in the bloody quagmire, outlining an absurd apocalyptic ukiyo-e.

Gu Chengyuan's Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle had driven out of the basement and parked on the road next to the dormitory. Through the thick bulletproof glass, he looked over the tragic remains on the ground and looked at the excited survivors.

The human tragedy that happened so close to him made his eyes waver slightly, but he quickly regained his firmness.

Yes, the slaughter of zombie monkeys was his deliberate indulgence, he could have immediately transferred a platoon from the East District, or he could have chosen to call in a platoon immediately.

But he still chose to stay put and opted for a covert summoning that would take up to ten minutes.

Behind this seemingly cold attitude, it was only because he noticed the signs of a pathological imbalance in the gathering place.

The number of people like Ye Qing is increasing, and the atmosphere in the gathering places is also changing.

Some survivors came to the gathering place, received armed protection, and had a stable food supply, and the selfish and bad nature of human beings began to show.

They began to weigh the pros and cons in their respective calculations. Gu Chengyuan did not object to people having their own selfish interests, but the premise was that it would not hinder the overall situation.

Gu Chengyuan keenly discovered some bad signs. The most favorable evidence was that the negative remarks of people like Ye Qing were beginning to gain popularity.

Direct purge is not realistic either. We have just transitioned from a peaceful era, and speaking out against the criminals might backfire and cause the other survivors to grieve.

A great man once said that struggle requires methods, and we must make more friends and fewer enemies.

So the moment he discovered the traces of the monkeys, Gu Chengyuan suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to cleanse the negative voices, integrate internal strength, and improve cohesion.

Those who are truly united and willing to work hard for the collective are all engaged in construction in the East District. Most of those left in the West District are lazy workers who have taken sick leave and some women who have not yet been assigned jobs.

The chefs and girls are usually indoors, and only those idle guys with nothing to do would wander around outside. Ten minutes can also limit the casualties.

This was the greatest consideration Gu Chengyuan could make. As for those innocent people who were implicated, he could only say sorry silently.

Blame it on this apocalypse.

Since he has obtained the system and has taken on the role of the leader, he can only consider the overall situation.

His father told him since he was a child that there is no perfect solution in the world, and if a leader wants to take care of everyone, he must be a fool.

Any decision is bound to hurt someone, and the leader’s job is to ensure that the majority of people benefit.

As the saying goes, great love is ruthless. When love is focused on the collective, the choices made are often cold and ruthless to a very small number of individuals.

Judging from the feedback on the scene, Gu Chengyuan felt that he had done the right thing. He had increased the trust of ordinary people and enhanced their sense of crisis. He believed that for a long time, the entire gathering place would be able to work together as one. There would be no calculations to cause trouble, only the joint force for upward and positive development.
