Chapter 88: Swarm Of Mosquitoes

Hearing Tan Wei’s words, Zheng Yimu’s eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought. After a long silence, he raised his head and said, "Brother Tan is right. But as a soldier, I think my duty is to protect the common people. As long as those people follow the law, we will not do anything to them."

Xiu Wu shook his head and said, "Captain Zheng, you are too naive."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Yimu frowned slightly and asked, "What does Captain Xiu mean? Please enlighten me."

Xiu Wu picked up a bullet from the floor, looked at the bullet and said, "Have Captain Zheng ever questioned who gave the order after the end of the world began? Are you sure the central government is still there? Or can you prove that the person giving out the order now has no selfish motives and actually really wants to protect the common people?"

When asked by Xiu Wu, Zheng Yimu didn’t know how to answer for a while. As a soldier, he should not question his superiors. But as someone who has experienced the war against zombies and mutants, he knows that many things have changed since the end of the world began.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Ji Yang smiled and said, "Captain Zheng, I’m sorry that I couldn’t let you know where I found this ore."

Zheng Yimu came out of his contemplation, shook his head and said, "No. It’s because I’m not considerate enough. I did not consider the safety of the supernatural beings."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Please contact me when the gun design is ready."

After saying goodbye to Xiu Wu, Ji Yang, and Tan Wei, Zheng Yimu left and returned to the military camp. He needs time to think about what they just discussed with Xiu Wu and the others, before deciding whether to report this information to his superiors or not.

Back in the living room, Ji Yang saw Xiu Wu checking the new bullets. He sat down and asked, "Lao Xiu, do you think Zheng Yimu will report this matter to the base?"

Xiu Wu shook his head and said, "Zheng Yimu is also a supernatural being. He also knows that those at the top have changed people. If those people are still the same as before the end of the world, someone should have already sent supplies to this base by now."

He put down the bullet and added, "Since there is not even one person sending supplies until now, it shows that the people above are busy fighting for power and do not care about the soldiers and the common people. Zheng Yimu is not a fool. He will think carefully before making a decision."

After hearing what he said, Ji Yang nodded and said, "You are right. In this case, we can only wait and see."

Seeing that they had finished talking about serious matters, Tan Wei looked at Xiu Wu and asked curiously, "Lao Xiu, when you suddenly became jealous of Zheng Yimu, was it because of that mysterious voice, or was it because you were really jealous because he want to go find Xiao Lin?"

As soon as Tan Wei asked this question, Xiu Wu froze. Looking at his blank expression, Tan Wei and Ji Yang shook their heads.

Tan Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I think you should just admit that you like Xiao Lin not because of that mysterious voice, but because you really like her."

Just when Xiu Wu was still unwilling to accept the reality, at the same time, a soldier standing on the high wall saw dark clouds approaching from a distance. He thought he had seen it wrong, rubbed his eyes, and looked into the distance again.

When he still saw the dark clouds on the horizon, he patted a soldier standing next to him. The soldier looked up and asked, "What?"

He pointed to the horizon and asked, "Brother, have you seen those dark clouds?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, the other soldier was surprised to find dark clouds forming in the distance. He thought it was a rain cloud and shouted excitedly to other soldiers.

"Brothers, look over there. It looks like it is going to rain today." He shouted, while pointing to the horizon.

Hearing what he said, all the soldiers who were guarding the wall were very excited. They looked to the horizon and saw dark clouds there. One of the soldiers activated his ability and was able to clearly see the dark cloud in the distance. The moment he saw the true form of the dark cloud, chills ran down his spine.

A soldier noticed him suddenly turned pale and asked, "What did you see?"

The soldier came to his senses and shouted anxiously towards the other soldiers, "Sound the alarm! That is not a rain cloud! It is a swarm of mosquitoes!"

As soon as he said this, all the soldiers turned pale. They get information that a supply team has been wiped out by a swarm of mosquitoes yesterday. But now, after hearing the soldier’s words, they knew that if the swarm of mosquitoes could not be stopped, everyone in this base would be doomed.

After coming back to their senses, one of the soldiers ran to the watchtower and sounded the alarm, while other soldiers reported to their superiors and prepared for battle. As the long, loud, wailing sirens echoed around the base, Zhu Lin and Tu Tu, who were sleeping, were also awakened by the commotions outside.

The two of them exchanged a look, then Zhu Lin stood up from the carpeted floor and walked to the window. Despite the hot weather outside, Zhu Lin saw many people running out of their homes in panic. Before she could understand what was happening, someone knocked urgently on her door.

Along with the knocks on the door, Meng Zhelan’s urgent voice came. "Elder Sister, are you at home? Elder Sister?"
