Chapter 1355 Unwritten Rules
What a pity!
It was raining so hard that helicopters and drones could not be used at all.
Otherwise, we would not have to send people out to find out the exact location of the blocked river.
The people at the conference table in the hall had their own thoughts.
After Ma Zhunzhi finished speaking, Yin Jipeng showed an ugly expression on his face.
Finally unable to hold back, Yin Jipeng said to the big boss in the middle:
"Big boss, I still think it is inappropriate. Now there are zombies in the flood, and no one wants to go out. If they are forced to go out, it will definitely cause civil unrest."
"There must be brave men under a heavy reward! Just form a death squad." Ma Zhunzhi said lightly beside him.
"But."
Before Yin Jipeng finished speaking, the big boss waved his hand and said softly:
"Jipeng"
"That's it, you will form a death squad later, send someone with a walkie-talkie, and go out to find the blocked location."
Seeing that Yin Jipeng seemed to have something to say, the big boss was a little impatient.
"I leave the team to you because I believe in you."
Swish!
Hearing the boss's words, Yin Jipeng's heart instantly turned cold.
The boss's words actually carried a threat, and the meaning was very clear. If he could not obey the boss's orders, the boss would no longer trust him and would take the team back.
This was a warning, and even more of a warning!
This team was not under his control before. The previous captain was dismissed by the boss because he disobeyed the boss's orders and disappeared from this world.
Later, he had the opportunity to be promoted.
It can be said that the boss can dismiss him at will.
Many people in the team are loyal to the boss.
The boss also controls a mysterious small team. Looking back at the people who opposed the boss in the past, all died tragically, without exception.
Thinking of this, Yin Jipeng broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't know since when, I don't seem to be as respectful to the boss as before.
"Boss, I listen to you." Yin Jipeng agreed with a stiff upper lip.
The boss looked at Yin Jipeng meaningfully, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The depressing atmosphere in the venue suddenly became relaxed, as if the clouds had been cleared.
"Jipeng, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"That's right, you see, things are not that difficult to handle, right?"
Yin Jipeng lowered his head and nodded, "The boss is right."
"Go, arrange it as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Yin Jipeng immediately stood up and bowed to the boss.
He didn't look at the boss, let alone Ma Zhunzhi, and turned around and walked outside.
The boss looked at Ma Zhunzhi and waved.
"You go down too, contact Ma Laoliu, and ask them how they are now."
Ma Laoliu's position is very critical. For them, it is a bit like a shield to block the zombies coming from the east.
Once Ma Laoliu can't hold on, the zombies in the east will definitely come all the way to the west.
"Yes."
Ma Zhunzhi bowed and left.
After the two left, the boss's expression suddenly became cold.
This Yin Jipeng is not as obedient as before, and even dares to openly resist his orders. If he hadn't been warned, Yin Jipeng would probably have insisted on his original idea just now.
Thinking of this, the boss's eyes narrowed slightly.
He stood up from the chair and walked downstairs.
After walking two steps, he seemed to remember something, "Old Xu, you go and follow him later to see how Yin Jipeng does things."
"Okay." Old man Xu, who had been silent all the time, responded immediately after hearing the boss's order, and turned around and left the house.
Yin Jipeng left the boss with an angry and aggrieved mood, and braved the heavy rain to come to the War Readiness Management Office.
"Call all the captains and columns to come to the meeting."
As soon as he entered the door, Yin Jipeng said to everyone in the War Readiness Management Office.
"Captain, is there something important?" The deputy captain asked with some confusion after hearing this order.
"It's about the boss's arrangement, contact everyone quickly."
Yin Jipeng glanced at the deputy commander calmly. This deputy commander was someone the boss had planted beside him. He knew that he had always been the boss's confidant.
But he couldn't understand why when the previous commander was dismissed, he didn't just let Hu Liangjian take over, but chose himself.
I couldn't figure it out.
After hearing that it was the boss's arrangement, Hu Liangjian was obviously much more active than before.
"Communicator, quickly contact the captains of the third and fourth columns, as well as the captains of the various brigades, and ask them to come quickly."
Time passed by minute by minute.
The captains arrived here one after another, and there were seven or eight people sitting in the combat readiness management office.
"Such a big commotion, what's the matter?"
"I don't know, you can ask the commander."
"You go and ask, I won't go."
A few minutes later, most people had arrived, except for Huang Feilong from the third column.
It was raining heavily outside, and the people in the management office had a rare leisure time, chatting and gossiping.
Suddenly, a burly figure appeared at the door.
"Hey, Old Huang! You're finally here." Liu Ren, the captain of the Fourth Column, smiled and shouted to Huang Feilong at the door after seeing him.
Huang Feilong nodded slightly after seeing Liu Ren and walked towards the first seat on the right side of the long table.
There were clear factions at the long table.
Sitting on the left are the five captains under Liu Ren,
Sitting on the right are the five captains under Huang Feilong.
Liu Ren and Huang Feilong sat on the first position on the left and right of the chief, followed by their captains.
"Deputy Captain Hu." Huang Feilong greeted the chief Hu Liangjian and sat down.
"Good, good, good." Hu Liangjian looked at Huang Feilong with a smile on his face.
Huang Feilong is very capable and has been praised by the boss several times.
"Is everyone here?"
At this time, a person came from the next room.
It was Yin Jipeng.
"Everyone is here." Hu Liangjian turned his head and answered when he heard Yin Jipeng's voice.
Yin Jipeng glanced at everyone, put the documents in his hand on the table, and sat down.
Everyone quieted down instantly, and their eyes looked at him.
After Yin Jipeng took office as the captain, he won the hearts of the army.
Everyone was also quite convinced of him.
"I believe everyone knows the situation outside the ancient city wall. The flood water level has been rising. If it continues to rise like this, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I just came from the boss and discussed a result based on the current situation."
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully.
"Form a death squad and set off to the middle section of the Beida River to find the blockage point."
"The death squad needs 30 people, divided into three teams, heading to the northeast, the middle, and the southeast respectively, and must find the blockage point."
"I called you here for this matter."
"Let's do this, Huang Feilong, Liu Ren, each of your two columns will send 15 people, as for who they are, you decide for yourselves."
"In addition, those who carry out this mission and come back alive will be promoted by one level, and they must meet one request before they set off."
After Yin Jipeng finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the documents in his hand.
He knew that this matter was not easy to handle. Going out was clearly a mission to die. There were zombies in the water. Once he was surrounded and dragged into the water by zombies, he would be powerless no matter how much he had.
"This" Liu Ren looked embarrassed. If this kind of thing really depends on voluntary participation, it is estimated that few people are willing to go.
Although the words sound good, you can be promoted after returning, but you must be able to come back alive.
If you can't come back alive, everything is in vain.
In this situation, no one can be confident that they can come back alive.
Huang Feilong glanced at the deputy captain next to him. The deputy captain had made similar suggestions to him just now on the wall.
I didn't expect that this time when I came to the meeting, I actually issued such an order.
So he said angrily:
"Captain, don't you take the lives of the brothers lightly? Sending people out will surely die!"
Bang!
Yin Jipeng slammed the documents in his hand on the table.
There was a lot of discussion in the field, and it was silent in an instant.
"Do you have a better way?"
"Or do you want to question the decision of the boss?!"
"Is this the decision of the boss?" Huang Feilong asked with his neck stiff.
"Yes." Yin Jipeng answered without hesitation.
Hu Liangjian next to him was slightly moved, and his eyes flickered.
He said to everyone in a gentle tone:
"I think the boss is not willing to do this, but there is no other way."
"If we really wait until the flood comes, we will all be finished."
"Don't be emotional, this is for the overall situation, and sacrifice is inevitable."
Huang Feilong seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by his deputy next to him.
The deputy winked at Huang Feilong, signaling him not to say anything more.
Huang Feilong was extremely frustrated and had no choice but to accept it.
This order was issued by the boss, which means it cannot be changed.
The boss always does things, once it is determined, there will be no room for modification.
They all know this very well.
Hu Liangjian's words made Liu Ren sigh in his heart.
It seems that there is no room for negotiation on this matter, thirty lives.
Even if the blockage point can be found safely, the hope of returning is slim.
It is basically equivalent to using thirty lives to find the blockage point and protect the base.
Sacrificing a small number of people to fulfill the majority.
"I'll give you half an hour. No matter what method you use, gather thirty people for me. I'll wait for you on the wall."
"Old Hu, you are responsible for preparing the boat and explosives."
After saying that, he stood up and left, taking the documents to the next room.
After seeing him leave, Hu Liangjian said to everyone on the scene:
"Go down and make arrangements."
Huang Feilong was about to say something, but Hu Liangjian waved his hand to signal him to make arrangements quickly.
Huang Feilong was finally dragged away by his deputy.
Hu Liangjian watched everyone leave, thinking of what Yin Jipeng had just said. It was obvious that Yin Jipeng was unwilling to take the blame, and directly pushed the responsibility onto the boss.
Everyone didn't dare to vent their anger on the boss, so they could only follow orders.
But Yin Jipeng's behavior actually damaged the boss's image.
I was thinking that I had to find a time to report today's matter to the boss.
I had to give Yin Jipeng some eye drops. If Yin Jipeng fell, the next captain should be me anyway.
Half an hour later.
Yin Jipeng came to the top of the ancient city wall and looked down at the flood outside.
The flood water level gradually rose at a very fast speed.
The flood was originally 50 meters away from the ancient city wall, but now it is only a dozen meters away from the ancient city wall.
The gate that was originally sealed with sandbags was moved aside and reopened.
Dozens of people carried six small boats made of tires and ran out of the gate.
These people were carrying full of explosives and guns on their shoulders.
More than a dozen zombies in the flood climbed onto the shore and walked towards the ancient city wall.
Bang!
Huang Feilong on the wall ordered to shoot the zombies.
The gunshot attracted Yin Jipeng's sidelong glance, his expression was calm and seemed to have no emotion.
Soon, as the thirty people ran out of the city gate, the gate behind them was immediately closed.
Si Caifu glanced at the gate behind him. He knew that when they came back, the flood would probably have flooded the wall, and the gate would definitely not be opened.
Moreover, it would be difficult for them to come back alive.
He knew that this was a mission that was bound to die, but he still had to do it. There must be his reasons.
He joined the column later and was recruited to join the team a few years ago.
His relatives were in the base.
A few days ago, his father was seriously injured in the storm. He needed to use extremely rare life-saving medicine, and he needed to ask the best doctor in the base to perform surgery to be sure that he could be cured.
He was just a team leader in the base, with little power, and he could not get that kind of medicine at all.
He came out this time just to make a request.
His request was that the base would do its best to save his father.
Some of the other companions were forced to come, some were just like him to make a request, and some were running for a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, and they would be promoted to a team leader or squadron leader after returning.
"Santian, Wang Wu, put down the kayak, and the others should be alert!" Si Caifu shouted to the team members.
The kayak made of tires was put into the water.
There were a total of six kayaks, with 10 people in each team and 5 people in each kayak.
They were very efficient. In a very short time, they not only made the kayak, but also installed a turbine under the kayak, which was driven by diesel and did not require manual paddling, so the speed was relatively fast.
Under Si Caifu's order, the team members immediately followed his instructions.
There were three teams in total, and the other two teams also put kayaks in the water one after another.
On the wall, the soldiers kept an eye on the flood water surface. Once they found zombies, they would kill them immediately to escort the people who went out to perform the mission.
Because the flood was blocked to form a barrier lake, the waves of the flood were not big and relatively calm.
All the kayaks were put into the water, and Si Caifu quickly jumped on the kayak.
At this moment, he suddenly heard screams from the team in the east.
"Ah! Zombies!"
When a soldier climbed onto one of the kayaks of the second team of the death squad, a zombie suddenly climbed up from the turbid flood and bit his thigh.
The screams attracted the attention of everyone on and off the wall.
Leng Dajin, the captain of the second team, quickly pulled the team members onto the kayak and then fired a shot at the zombie.
Bang!
The zombie's head was hit at close range and burst like a watermelon.
The kayak shook slightly. This kayak was only temporarily built and was extremely simple.
A slightly larger wave will cause a violent shaking. If the kayak is surrounded by more than a dozen zombies, grabbing and shaking it, it is easy to overturn.
Zombies are extremely flexible in the water. Zombies like water. Being in the water is like being in their home turf. They are more powerful and their limbs are more flexible.
"Captain, I."
The people on the kayak were silent, their faces were extremely ugly, and they didn't want to attack their companions.
This has just begun, and there are even soldiers on the wall to help cover.
Just like that, someone has been bitten.
Being bitten by a zombie means death, and everyone knows this.
The bitten team member had a fearful expression on his face. He knew that there was an unwritten rule circulating in the base.
That is, if anyone is bitten, he should solve it himself and don't make it difficult for others.
"Brother Leng, help me tell my girlfriend that I love her."
"Okay, I will take good care of her for you."
"Yeah."
The bitten team member gritted his teeth and shot himself in the head without hesitation.
Bang!
Blood splattered everywhere.
In silence, the team members took off his gun and the explosives on his back.
Then he pulled his body out of the kayak,
and quickly started the engine. The turbine under the kayak rotated and took the kayak away quickly.
The flood was turbid. After the dead man fell into the flood, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, without a trace.
Someone died, so we must leave quickly, otherwise the blood will attract more zombies.
All this happened within a minute.
Alas.
Si Caifu and his first team were not far away. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
A sense of grief emerged, and they thought to themselves that the final solution for them was probably the same.
"Let's go! Get out of here quickly." Si Caifu gathered his mind and shouted to the team members.
The kayak was like a sharp sword, flying quickly to the east in the turbid flood.
