After Zhu Ying, mother and son separated from Jiang Ya, they set off towards the Fengcheng survivor base.
She was very lucky all the way. After her son's fever subsided, he accidentally discovered his supernatural powers.
Although it was an earth-type superpower, it helped them withstand many fatal attacks from zombies along the way.
How can one say that Zhu Ying is a lucky person? At the intersection when she entered the base, she happened to see the bald group attacking the previous team that entered the base.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying dared to go in, so she hid with her son all the way, and finally chose this remote place to settle down temporarily.
Just five days ago, she witnessed an inhumane killing.
At noon that day, Zhu Ying took her son to go out to look for supplies as usual.
When passing the underground parking lot, I saw a man in camouflage uniform dismembering zombies.
She thought she had encountered some pervert, so she hurriedly hid her son and prepared to take a detour.
However, just when the man finished chopping zombies and smearing them all over the ground, a dozen more people wearing the same clothes as him appeared from behind him.
The leader, a man with a short head and a square face, smiled at him and said, "Xiao Meng, what good thing did Mr. Huo send you out to find?"
The man named Xiao Meng had an ugly face. He snorted disdainfully at the square-faced man and did not answer his question.
The square-faced man was not annoyed when he saw this, and waved to the people following him.
The people behind him got the order and attacked Xiao Meng.
They go into battle with bare hands, and the moves they use are all professional fighting that involves punches to the flesh.
Although there were many people on the other side, Xiao Meng was the most skilled and was not at a big disadvantage even in a ten-on-one situation.
The sound of fighting attracted many zombies around. After the square-faced man shot a few zombies with a sullen expression, he raised his gun and pointed it at Xiao Meng.
After two "bang bang" sounds, Xiao Meng was shot in both feet and knelt on the ground with a face full of pain.
The square-faced man said with regret: "As expected of the King of Soldiers who protects Mr. Huo personally. His skills are indeed good. It's a pity."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards Xiao Meng and crushed his right leg where he was shot.
Xiao Meng groaned in pain and looked at the square-faced man's face filled with anger.
He roared: "Cui Zhi! Mr. Huo treats you well, why do you betray him!?"
"Betrayal? Hahaha," Cui Zhi laughed as if he had heard some big joke, "Ignorance! What generation has this happened? Do you still want to be the savior? Huh?"
As he said that, he put a little more force on his feet and asked Xiao Meng with a vicious look on his face: "Say! What did he send you out to find?"
Xiao Meng knew that Cui Zhi was no longer the man with a mission and faith in his heart.
It was useless to tell him more, so he just kept his mouth shut and acted as if he wanted to kill or cut him into pieces.
Cui Zhi's expression changed several times, and finally he told the people around him: "Get started, no matter what the cost, we must pry out useful clues from his mouth!"
Although those people followed Cui Zhi, they really couldn't bear to use extreme measures when facing their comrades who had fought together in the past.
Cui Zhi laughed angrily when he saw this, and glanced at everyone present with a sinister look: "You can't bear it? Well, then you should take a good look at what consequences your intolerance will bring to him!"
After saying that, he raised the knife and lowered it, and Xiao Meng's nose was cut off with one knife.
In the next scene, Zhu Ying covered her son's eyes. It was the most tragic human tragedy she had ever seen in her life.
Every time Cui Zhi moved his hand, Xiao Meng let out a scream, but apart from the scream, he did not open his mouth to beg for mercy, nor did he reveal a single clue that Cui Zhi wanted to know.
In the end, Cui Zhi actually knew that Meng Qingxiang would not tell him what he wanted to know, but he still tortured him again and again.
Because of the existence of Meng Qingxiang, Cui Zhi is reminded all the time.
See, you were once the same as him, with the same firm beliefs and an organization that you wanted to devote your life to.
But in the end, you betrayed your beliefs, betrayed your organization, and gave up everything you once wanted to protect with your life.
It is precisely with this thought that Cui Zhi is so crazy about destroying the person who reminds him of the past.
Only by trampling all their beliefs under his feet and letting them become like him can he enjoy everything he has now with peace of mind.
Before Meng Qingxiang died, Cui Zhi also told him a truth that he could not let go of until his death.
"Oh, by the way, your good brother Yuan Kai didn't actually die of serious injuries. It was because I didn't let the military doctor save him."
"Okay, you can go down and reunite with him now. Don't worry, there is also the toughest Qin Yi, I will send him down to see you soon."
After Meng Qingxiang died, Cui Zhi searched the place for several times but failed to find any useful clues.
Only after he led the people away while cursing, did Zhu Ying dare to come out of the darkness.
She admired Meng Qingxiang's character and couldn't bear to let his body be exposed in the wilderness like this, so she dragged his body and placed it at the base of the wall.
After listening to Zhu Ying's narration, Jiang Ya and the others didn't speak for a long time.
Although he guessed Meng Qingxiang's identity, he didn't expect that he was the good brother Qin Yi said.
As expected, Qin Yi thought that Meng Qingxiang died in battle and Yuan Kai died of his injuries, but he did not expect that both of their deaths were caused by Cui Zhi.
Jiang Ya could not sympathize with their so-called beliefs, but she had never seen such a scene in her entire life by using such harsh torture on her brother who had been through life and death.
It was his choice to give up his faith and choose to rebel. Others could not interfere, but Cui Zhi could take the lead and give Meng Qingxiang a happy life.
But he had to use the most cruel methods to deal with him. That's not completely bad, that's sick to the point of perversion.
Fu Zheng and the others, who were more interested in brotherly love, felt very heavy.
Wang Mengcheng had even begun to gear up, thinking that if he had sex with Cui Zhi head-on in the future, he would have to be the first one to cut him alive.
They mercenaries have rules and will not attack their brothers, not to mention that Cui Zhi is from the regular army.
Such a person, let alone a human, is not worthy of being treated as a beast.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere became very solemn. Even Chen Yu, who always liked to make jokes, didn't say anything more and laid out his sleeping bag early to get ready to sleep.
Fu Zheng laid out the sleeping bag for Jiang Ya, laid his own sleeping bag beside her, and then asked her to go to bed early.
Being outside, she didn't have to pay so much attention to things. Jiang Ya simply wiped her face and lay down with her clothes on.
She turned towards where Fu Zheng was lying, and found that he also turned around to look at her.
In his dark eyes, Jiang Ya asked melancholy: "Fu Zheng, people who are not determined will change when they change. Why does a person with Cui Zhi's background become like this?"
Although it is the end of the world, most people will always put an extra layer of filters on people with Cui Zhi's status.
