Pale Silence

Chapter 60 Departure

Chen Mo walked into the meeting room and said, "Boss, call me."

Yang Tianhu was picking a movie: "Chen Mo, come here and help me see which movie will be shown tonight. What do you think of this? "26:[-] Late Night", no, it's scary. This "The Wind Kissed the Hurt", What is this? Or is it this, "The Widow Climbing a Tree", have you seen this movie? People of my generation used to go to the video theater to watch things when we were young. This is still a series.

The second part is called "The Widow Out of the Village". "

Chen Mo was not interested in the movie, so he said calmly, "You just decide."

Yang Tianhu said: "Chen Mo, you can't do this, you don't have a personal life."

Chen Mo said: "Boss, I'm going to go out in a while to deal with the corpse king, so that everyone can live with peace of mind."

Yang Tianhu said, "What are you in a hurry for? Watch the movie first."

Chen Mo said: "I don't watch movies, I will arrange a shift later and go to the blockhouse."

Yang Tianhu sighed: "Chen Mo, life is life, you only have life now, not life."

Chen Mo didn't say anything.

Yang Tianhu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can go to work. How is the research at the military factory?"

Chen Mo said, "Xia Kai is busy, I'll go over and take a look."

After finishing speaking, Chen Mo turned his head and went to the military factory.

As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Song Jian came over with a bunch of candied haws, and stuffed them into Chen Mo's hands with a smile.

Chen Mo asked in astonishment, "Where did you get the candied haws?"

Song Jian said: "I took people to patrol the nearby mountains, and picked some mountain reds by the way. There is no sugar in the safe area, and the juice is too thin."

Chen Mo looked at the string of shiny candied haws, feeling in a daze, not knowing what it was like.

More than ten years have passed, and the supplies of the old world are getting less and less every day, but they have not yet rebuilt the new world.

Song Jian said: "Eat it. That mountain used to be an orchard. I went to see it. It has been neglected for more than ten years, and the ground is full of overripe and rotten apples and oranges. I will take someone there to clean it up in a few days. In the future, there will be fruits in the safe zone that you can eat casually."

Chen Mo bit a hawthorn and said vaguely, "Be careful."

Song Jian said: "It's okay, what are you going to do?"

There was an unspeakable murmur in his heart.

Chen Mo stayed in the safe zone for ten years, and he seemed to be very admired. The big brother in the safe zone also relied on Chen Mo very much. He was actually a little worried, whether Chen Mo didn't need him anymore.

No need for his protection, no need for his teaching, no need for his company.

Song Jian, like all men who have done something wrong and waited to kneel on the washboard, surrounded Chen Mo anxiously, showing his courtesy awkwardly.

Chen Mo didn't seem to notice his discomfort, and said bluntly, "Go to the military factory."

In the fifth year after establishing the base, Yang Tianhu set up a military factory here.

It dawned on him that the war would be far from over, that the ammunition left over from the old world would run out, and that they would need more weapons to stay alive.

Over the years, military factories have been able to make some crude weapons.

Xia Kai is the sniper in Chen Mo's team. Ever since he got the zombie bomb, he has been trying to research the way to smash the medicine into the bullet, so as to give full play to his power as a sniper.

But this kind of medicine is corrosive to metal after concentration, and the glass is too easy to shatter in the vibration, so it can't meet the needs of snipers.

Xia Kai has been researching here for a whole winter, but he still hasn't found a solution.

Chen Mo walked in and asked Xia Kai, "The boss asked how your research is going."

Xia Kai frowns: "Brother Chen, no, I have already tried dozens of things to make the shell."

Chen Mo said: "If you can't figure it out, let it go first, and go out with me in a few days."

When Xia Kai heard that there was a mission, he immediately became excited: "Brother Chen, where are we going!"

Chen Mo said, "It's not sure yet, we're going to lure the corpse king out."

Hearing the corpse king, Xia Kai's eyes lit up, and he slapped Chen Mo on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, are we really going to kill the corpse king?"

Song Jian's eyes became dangerous.

He didn't pay attention to this little kid before, but now he looks at everyone as if he is looking at a rival in love.

Chen Mo didn't care about Xia Kai's big or small actions.

Xia Kai was hid by his family and taken to a safe area when the zombies first broke out, and he hardly suffered any crimes.In such a world, there are not many people who live as happily as him.

Chen Mo didn't mind letting Xia Kai be happy by his side for a while.

Chen Mo said, "Clean up, we'll leave in a few days."

Xia Kai was in high spirits.

Song Jian said suddenly: "Have you ever tried using tin as a casing?"

Xia Kai was stunned for a moment, and said, "The tin is too soft..."

Song Jian said: "Wrap the liquid in tinfoil and put it into the bullet casing. Are all your minds full of straight lines? Do you want to turn around and try?"

Xia Kai didn't hear Song Jian's hostility, and excitedly got into the studio and dragged the old craftsman to shout: "Uncle Liu! Uncle Liu! Where is the tin foil? I'm looking for tin foil!!!"

Song Jian shrugged and looked at Chen Mo who was about to claim credit: "Momo, I..."

Chen Mo said, "I'm going to get some more tinfoil. Xia Kai is as crazy about shooting guns as I am. I need to prepare a lot of bullets for him."

Song Jian: "..."

Xia Kai poked his head out: "Brother Chen, when are we going to leave?"

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Three days later."

Is the weather getting warmer? A new wave of corpses will flock to the north. They must set off as soon as possible.

Chen Mo took a few people to lure Zhao Yan out, and Yang Tianhu always sent people to watch the movement in the mountains and prepare to respond.

Before leaving, Yang Tianhu patted Chen Mo on the shoulder reluctantly: "Chen Mo, safety comes first, we still have chances for other things."

Chen Mo said, "It's okay."

Yang Tianhu looked at Song Jian over Chen Mo's shoulder, his gaze became a little complicated.

Chen Mo turned slightly awkwardly to block Yang Tianhu's gaze.

Yang Tianhu said in a low voice, "What does that person...do?"

Chen Mo took a deep breath and tried his best to calmly say, "Old friend."

Yang Tianhu said: "Chen Mo, no matter what the situation is, pay attention to your own safety, I want to see you come back alive, remember?"

Chen Mo said, "I will be back."

Yang Tianhu said: "No matter who is in danger, it is not as important as your life. The safe zone now has a population of 10,000+, and you, a general, cannot be lost."

Chen Mo returned to the car, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Get ready to go."

Song Jian started the car without saying a word, slowly drove out of the safe zone, and drove into the deep mountains.

Since Song Jian came here, Chen Mo has never driven a car by himself. He sat in the co-pilot's seat and looked forward.

Fang Yingchen consciously climbed onto the roof of the car to clear the road ahead, killing all the zombies wandering on the road, so as to prevent anything from happening while avoiding the zombies.

Song Jian couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Chen Mo, "What did that Yang Tianhu tell you?"

Chen Mo said, "Let me be safe."

Song Jian whispered: "He thinks he has other plans for you."

Chen Mo didn't hear what he said, and frowned suspiciously: "What did you say?"

Song Jian said, "It's all right."

Ten years ago, when Chen Mo came here, he was still a stubborn and stupid kid, working under that Yang Tianhu. After so many years, is there really no different friendship in it?

Chen Mo said: "This time it will be more dangerous than before. Once Zhao Yan appears, we will take him north."

Song Jian said: "I know, when the time comes, you will be farther away from me and meet me at a distance."

Chen Mo said: "We must be with you. No one knows what will happen at that time. It is dangerous for you to be alone."

Fang Yingchen sat on the roof of the car and shot, feeling a little bit gritty.

Why are these two old friends so tired of being old friends?

She is a little girl who is too embarrassed to ask, but Chen Mo's reaction to Song Jian is so special that she can't help but wonder what kind of old friend they are, and why the two of them have a lot of talk every time they get together. There is no sour taste.

They first drove to the place where Zhao Yan appeared last time, Chen Mo's hometown Jiushan County.

There are still traces of the fire that day, half of the village was burned to charcoal black, and there were charred corpses all over the ground.

Fang Yingchen covered her eyes a little uncomfortable, and said in a low voice amidst the burning smell: "Brother Chen, will that zombie king come back here?"

Chen Mo looked around and said, "No, he hasn't been back for a while."

Fang Yingchen's nose hurt from the smell of corpses, and she said, "Then where can we find him?"

Chen Mo looked at Song Jian habitually.

Song Jian said, "Go to Xing City."

Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment: "Xing City?"

Song Jian hesitated for a while before saying: "I think Zhao Yan will take Yan Ruoming to a resort in the suburbs of Xing City, where he was injected with the original virus strain by Yan Ruoming, and he became what he is now. .”

When Chen Mo heard the name Yan Ruoming, the pain of being stabbed in his heart flashed in his eyes again, but he still didn't say anything, got in the car and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Turn around, go to a resort in the suburbs of Xing City, everyone Pay attention, Zhao Yan may be inside, and that may be the base camp of the zombies."

Xia Kai shouted excitedly on the intercom: "Brother Chen, can I take the head of the corpse king?"

Chen Mo said: "Not yet, our task is to lead Zhao Yan to the mountain near the road to hell."

If he guessed correctly, Shen Hewen was hiding in that mountain.

The last time he met Zhao Yan, Chen Mo observed that the group of corpses that Zhao Yan could control was actually only about three kilometers away, so he and Shen Hewen have been living in peace all these years.

But if Zhao Yan entered Shen Hewen's territory and tried to control Shen Hewen's zombies, would Shen Hewen... still be able to stay?

Chen Mo loaded the bullet.

The technology of filling the bullet with medicine is too troublesome, so most of the bullets filled with medicine are given to the sniper Xia Kai.

But Xia Kai insisted on loading him with a few bullets, so that he could experience the power of the special bullets for zombies.

Chen Mo had no choice but to accept it.

The convoy was forced to stop three kilometers away from the resort, because if it went any further, it would be a dense crowd of corpses, and there was no room for cars to enter.

Looking at such a large group of zombies, Xia Kai almost suffered from trypophobia, and his scalp felt numb.

He said, "Brother Chen, there are so many zombies, we can't even blow them up with nuclear bombs."
