Chapter 266: Cremation (Additional update for the alliance leader’s dream of Liu Huo) (Third update) The
sound of gunfire and tragic fighting continued throughout the fallen defense line.
After three hours of brutal fighting, Zhao Wugang personally carried a Red League flag and planted it on the roof of the highest building in the defensive zone.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the entire defensive area burst into excited cheers.
"We have retaken the defensive zone!"
"We won!"
Shen Qiu pulled out Han Ye, which was inserted into the zombie monster's body, and stood there looking at the cheering crowd, smiling sincerely.
At this time, Gu Yuan entered the retaking defensive area in an armored vehicle.
Looking at the defense area that was riddled with holes, he issued the order in a deep voice.
"Rebuild the defense line, clean the battlefield, and collect the bodies of all comrades."
As Gu Yuan issued the order, the excitement and smiles on the faces of the cheering soldiers faded away.
Soldiers wearing protective clothing spread out one after another and began to clean the battlefield and collect the bodies of their dead comrades.
I saw corpses being carried over one after another. Even though the soldiers present were exhausted, no one would drag the corpses of their companions.
Some of the companions had been dismembered, with only one head left, and the soldiers would come over holding their heads.
The soldiers at the scene all had red eyes. Some soldiers could not hold back and had tears streaming down their faces.
As a large number of corpses were collected, piles of corpses were piled up.
Shen Qiu looked at the corpses that were piling up higher and higher, and her mood became heavier and heavier.
Qin Shu, Zhao Wugang and others present were also a little overwhelmed and their eyes were red.
Every corpse piled up in these piles is a companion they fought side by side.
Every face is extremely vivid.
After a long time, the bodies of all the companions were collected.
Gu Bu personally led many officers to the corpse, and he got rid of Zhang Tang's support.
Qin Shu then handed over a bright red Red League flag.
Gu Yuan took it, stepped forward to cover the pile of corpses himself, then stepped back a few steps, stood upright, and saluted to the pile of corpses.
Shen Qiu and others also raised their hands and saluted solemnly.
There was only silent silence in the entire scene, and a drizzle fell on the faces of everyone present.
After a long time, Gu Yuan slowly put down his hand and said.
"Let's do it."
Immediately afterwards, soldiers came over with buckets of gasoline and poured it on the body.
"Everyone has to be cremated?"
Shen Qiu whispered to Yun Xiaoxi.
"Well, the corpses of people who died at the hands of zombie monsters must be disposed of. Otherwise, these corpses may mutate, crawl on corpses, or become new sources of infection. Nowadays, infection management is very strict. You have seen it before. We They all retreated to their own defensive zone, and the defensive wall was not opened for us."
Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu.
"Well, it's the right thing to do."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Soon all the gasoline was poured on it. Gu Bu took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it up!
Boom~
The raging flames burned.
Looking at the burning corpses, many of the non-commissioned officers who were watching could no longer hold back and sobbed.
Gu Yuan bowed deeply and said,
"Let's go!"
Half an hour later.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Gu Yuan turned to Yun Xiaoxi and others and said.
"This wave of corpses has been wiped out. The next wave will not gather so quickly. Leave this to Zhao Wugang and the others. You can follow me back to the temporary command post." "Okay."
Yun
Xiaoxi and others responded.
So Shen Qiu followed Yun Xiaoxi and the others into the RV again.
The RV followed an armored vehicle and drove to a temporary camp set up with tents in the rear.
Although this camp is very simple, it has an advantage. It is particularly convenient for transfer and retreat.
Gu Yuan led Yun Xiaoxi and others into the tent where he lived. He sat down on the recliner, looked relieved, and then spoke.
"Thank you for coming all the way to support me."
"It's not hard work. This is what we should do."
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head.
"Hey, the entire eighth district is in chaos now, and the water inside is very deep. You must be more careful here."
Gu Yuan asked with concern.
"Yeah."
Shen Qiu and others nodded.
At this time, Gu Yuan's eyes fell on Shen Qiu and he greeted him.
"Chen Qiu, you're here too."
"Yes, I have nothing to do, so I just stopped by to help." "Yeah, that's
good, but why don't you wear protective clothing?"
"Um, it's too awkward to fight in that. It's convenient."
Shen Qiu replied awkwardly.
"How can this be done? It's easy to get infected. But what you said makes sense. It's really inconvenient to wear those bulky things! Well, don't wear protective clothing if you don't want to, and you still need to wear a mask." "Well
, I don't have one."
"It's okay, I'll give you one. Chen Wei, take him to my tent to pick one."
Gu Yuan said very generously.
"Thank you! Gu Bu!"
Shen Qiu didn't refuse. It's better to wear some clothes than not to wear them at all.
"Let's go, I'll take you to pick one, you're in luck!"
Chen Wei said as he led Shen Qiu out of the tent.
Wait until Shen Qiu and Chen Wei leave.
Gu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Have you brought what I want?"
"Yes, here it is!"
Li Yan then took out a confidential document and a small box and handed them to Gu Bu.
"Well, there's something I want to tell you."
Gu Yuan took it and said with a very solemn expression.
"Bu Gu, what happened?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
"I'll tell you the truth, the current situation in District 8 is very bad, and there are internal undercurrents surging. No matter how the Red League assists here, the situation has not improved at all, and has even worsened! And the most important point is that the situation in District 8 is very bad. From the moment the disaster broke out in District 8, the officials, military officers and City Lord Su Yuan all went all out to deal with it. I have seen their response strategies, and there were no problems. But just like this, the disaster still expanded, and later a large amount of support After entering the venue, we all cooperated with each other. But the result is that the situation is getting worse day by day. We have tried all methods, even discarding those that should be discarded, but there is still no change." Gu Yuan said to
Yun Xiaoxi and others with a gloomy face . said the man.
"How could this happen?"
Aunt Hua and others were filled with disbelief when they heard Gu Yuan's words.
"More than that, the line of defense I guard has been repeatedly attacked by the zombies. And wherever it is weak, it attacks. All these things point to one thing. There is a problem in some part of our internal process." Gu
Yuan His eyes flickered and he said solemnly.
"What do you mean by this, Bu Gu?"
Li Yan asked with shock in his heart.
"I don't trust anyone now, I only trust the three of you. I have a very important thing to do for you, and it's very dangerous!" "As you said,
Gu Bu, no matter how dangerous it is, we will do our best. Yun
Xiaoxi and others expressed their opinions one after another.
