Most ordinary people do not know and do not understand how serious harm this doomsday will bring to mankind, and ordinary people's information is lagging behind.
But Li Tiejun is different. As one of the leaders of the base, he is well aware of the interests involved and the heavy responsibility he shoulders.
At the beginning of the end of the world, a sudden disaster swept the world.
As much as 69% of the population suddenly turned into ferocious zombies without any warning, launching crazy attacks on the humans around them!
This horrifying scene caught people off guard, and within a short period of time, at least 20% of the human population were suddenly attacked and unfortunately infected by zombies.
As this most dangerous wave of impact gradually subsided, the surviving humans began to struggle to survive in this ruined world.
The dark side of human nature was fully revealed at this moment. In order to compete for limited resources and living space, humans engaged in brutal slaughter.
This chaos resulted in the loss of countless lives, and the shadow of death looms over every survivor.
In contrast, the situation in the military is even more dire. Although soldiers have guns, their survival rate has not increased much.
The reason is that military bases are usually densely populated, while guns and ammunition are mostly stored in warehouses.
Except for the guards on duty who were equipped with real weapons and live ammunition, the other soldiers either had no firearms or carried blank bullets!
Faced with the sudden influx of large numbers of powerful zombies, these soldiers who lacked effective fire support were unable to deal a heavy blow to them, let alone quickly eliminate the huge threat before them.
Moreover, since the soldiers receive rigorous training on a daily basis and generally have high physical fitness, once they are infected and transformed into zombies, the individuals formed often possess extraordinary speed and strength.
These zombies transformed from soldiers are undoubtedly much more terrifying than the zombies transformed from ordinary civilians in sub-healthy conditions in outside cities.
The soldiers could not escape at all and were bitten to death by hordes of zombies. The soldiers with weapons did not have the heart to shoot at their former comrades with whom they used to live and eat. They only wanted to subdue them and save them. Therefore, after the organization was disrupted, the army did not rescue the civilians at the first time.
Due to various reasons, the world is short of people!
"Ugh……"
Li Tiejun leaned back in his chair and dozed off with his eyes closed.
Bang, bang, bang...there were knocks on the door.
"Huh..." Li Tiejun sat up and straightened his military uniform.
"Enter…"
The office door was opened, and a well-maintained woman in her forties who still had an elegant demeanor walked in, carrying a tray with a large bowl of porridge, a dish of pickles, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions on it.
"Your guard came to me again and told me that you didn't eat. I know the situation in the base is serious right now, but no matter what, you have to eat well and then go to sleep. If you tire yourself out again, the situation will be even worse."
Although the woman's tone was gentle, the disapproval in her eyes was unmistakable.
"This Xiao Li, why is he talking to you when he's old!"
"Xiao Li is doing this for your own good. If he could manage you and make you take care of yourself and eat on time, he wouldn't be so anxious and ask people to run to me."
The beautiful woman placed the tray in front of Li Tiejun and forced the bowl of porridge and chopsticks into his hands.
"eat!"
Li Tiejun took the porridge helplessly and shoveled a few mouthfuls of it, then picked up some pickles and put them in his mouth, chewed them twice and swallowed them.
"I know he's doing this for my own good. He's not in the mood to eat. The good base has become like this. If we don't deal with it properly, all our efforts will be in vain. There are still so many people in the country waiting for our rescue. We've been late for more than two years!"
"Humph, those damn guys! They should all be dragged out and shot!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Li Tiejun ragefully slammed the bowl of hot porridge in his hand onto the desk. Because he used too much force, the porridge in the bowl splashed all over the table.
Li Tiejun's eyes were red, burning with anger, his chest was heaving violently, and he was gasping for breath.
Whenever he thought of that incident, Li Tiejun felt as if his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys were being pierced by millions of steel needles at the same time, causing unbearable pain.
As a soldier, it is his sacred duty and mission to defend the country and protect the lives and property of the people.
Nearly three years have passed since the end of the world!
During this long and difficult period, they experienced too much hardship and setbacks, struggling on the brink of life and death. They finally recovered from the initial state of survival and established a certain foundation for survival.
Now, they can finally use the capital base as a solid base and gradually advance outward. They can then carry out cleanup operations across the country in an orderly manner and save more compatriots who are in desperate situations.
At this critical moment, such a heartbreaking incident suddenly emerged.
Those selfish and short-sighted politicians, in order to satisfy their own narrow interests, did not hesitate to delay the precious time of rescuing the people.
What they have done is simply outrageous and they have completely betrayed the people's trust and expectations of them!
Whenever Li Tiejun thought about the thousands of innocent people losing their lives every second due to the unnecessary delay, he felt an endless stream of self-blame and guilt in his heart.
As the strong backing of the people, they should have stepped forward at the first moment to protect the people.
But now, they have failed to fulfill this solemn promise. How can he not feel heartbroken?
"Ugh!"
The beautiful woman sighed, walked slowly behind Li Tiejun, reached out her hand and gently stroked his back to help him calm down.
"This is not your fault, don't blame yourself. This is a global crisis, and everyone was caught off guard. You have tried your best. What you should do now is to eat well and be more energetic so that you can better serve the people.
I should say something that should not be said. In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. Those who undermine national interests should indeed be shot. Otherwise, such things will happen again. Humanity does not have time to drag it on any longer. "
"That's right. We can't let those villains succeed. We should lock them up for a few days. When this crisis is over, we will give an explanation to the people in front of them!"
Li Tiejun's expression eased a little. He reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge, then used chopsticks to scoop the porridge that had just been shaken onto the table back into the bowl and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Seeing that he was no longer stubborn, the beautiful woman smiled gently and massaged his shoulders lightly.
