Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 199 The Most Perfect Assembly!
Xiao Gang walked to a corpse and said to the other prison guards, then slowly bent down and grabbed the corpse's shoulder.
A prison guard stepped out of the line, came to Xiao Gang's opposite side, raised the corpse's legs, and together, they carried the corpse towards their prison guard dormitory...
All the other prison guards moved too. Even Uncle Zhang, the fifty-year-old prison guard who had been the first to rush out and personally kill his own son, got up from the ground, picked up his son, and walked into the dormitory building.
Li Chenzhou and the others watched these prison guards moving back and forth, dragging the wounded bodies and carrying the corpses, all falling into silence. Fatty even turned around, wanting to rush out.
"What are you doing?"
Li Chenzhou grabbed Fatty and asked in a low voice.
"They're outside, I'm going to help!"
Fatty hissed, his big round face covered in snot and tears, looking like a pizza!
"This is a recording. They're already..."
Li Chenzhou said sadly, looking at the screen.
Fatty suddenly froze, then slumped to the ground, sobbing silently.
The atmosphere in the monitoring room was very heavy, but no one wanted to break the silence. They stared at the prison guards on the screen silently carrying the corpses, until they had carried all the corpses inside!
The prison guards recognized every corpse they carried, so they carried the corpses back to their own dorms, placed them on the beds with their name tags, and covered them with blankets, as if they hadn't gotten up yet.
Finally, all the corpses were returned to their places, and the prison guards all gathered in the hall just inside the dormitory building's main entrance, their eyes constantly scanning across familiar faces, as if to remember them forever.
"Alright! Now... it's our turn!"
Xiao Gang broke the silence again. He carried a rifle to the front, pulled the bolt, chambered a round, and looked at the other prison guards:
"Squad leaders, and brothers, who among us... will be the last?"
The prison guards looked at the gun in Xiao Gang's hand and understood his meaning, but none of them spoke – they weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid of being the last.
Because the last one needed to kill everyone here first, and then commit suicide!
Although they had killed their comrades before, those comrades had already mutated, and they could convince themselves it was necessary.
But next, the last one had to kill comrades who had been bitten but hadn't mutated. There were still nearly twenty people here now. Killing all the way down, every prison guard was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle it, worried that they would go crazy!!!
"I'll do it!"
After a long time, a voice rang out. It was Uncle Zhang. He slowly walked to Xiao Gang, reached out and grabbed the gun in his hand:
"You youngsters, I watched you all come in, including Xiao Hua. Since I sent him off, then I'll continue to send you off. In any case, I'm the oldest of everyone here now, and I have the longest service record. I'm the only one who can do something like this!"
"Uncle Zhang! You..."
Xiao Gang looked at Uncle Zhang, his eyes red, wanting to say something, but Uncle Zhang interrupted him:
"That's enough! I can't let a little guy like you do something like this. You can't handle it!"
Saying that, Uncle Zhang turned around, pushed Xiao Gang back into the ranks of the prison guards, and said:
"Recruits! I..."
Uncle Zhang had just spoken when the dormitory building door behind him was suddenly pushed open. A figure rushed in. It was Ding Ning. At this moment, Ding Ning's face was full of tears, his eyes were red, and he rushed in and shouted loudly:
"No! None of you are allowed to die! You can't just leave me alone!!!"
Seeing Ding Ning, Uncle Zhang was stunned, turned to look at the other prison guards, and the other prison guards were also confused, because they didn't know that Ding Ning had been staying in the monitoring room.
"Report! Uncle Zhang! Today it was my shift with Dingzi in the monitoring room. I took a break to go to the bathroom, but the warden happened to be patrolling and caught me smoking there. Then the warden called me to the office, and while he was lecturing me, he... he mutated!"
Xiao Gang stood up and said loudly:
"I killed the warden, then snatched his gun and keys, but while fighting the warden, I was also bitten by him. I knew I was definitely going to die, so I ran back to the monitoring room.
Dingzi was just about to rush out, but I pushed him back, and then, I gave him the warden's gun and keys, telling him to wait until the chaos outside was over, and then go deal with the zombies inside the prison!
After that, I locked him in the monitoring room, and rushed out myself. As for what happened after that, everyone knows. Report complete!"
"No! He didn't lock the monitoring room. I watched your fight and was scared silly, I didn't dare to rush out!"
As soon as Xiao Gang finished speaking, Ding Ning shouted loudly:
"I'm a coward, I'm a coward, I don't dare to face those zombies, whether he's a zombie or the warden!
You... you can't die, don't leave me alone! I can't do it, I really can't..."
As he shouted, Ding Ning slowly knelt down, and the words he shouted turned into sobs.
"Recruit Ding Ning!"
Just then, Uncle Zhang suddenly shouted loudly. Ding Ning, who was about to kneel on the ground, stood up reflexively, his body straight, and shouted loudly:
"Here!"
"Listen up! You are a prison guard, a soldier, whether you are afraid or scared, as long as you are still alive, you must remember that it is a soldier's duty to obey orders!
I now, as your squad leader, order you to return to the monitoring room, complete the task Xiao Gang gave you, that is an order! After you have completed it, come back and report!"
Uncle Zhang shouted loudly, then stepped forward to help Ding Ning tidy up his prison guard uniform, took a step back, and saluted him:
"Go! Execute the order immediately!"
"Yes!"
Ding Ning shouted this sentence almost hysterically, then turned around and ran wildly out of the dormitory building...
"Alright! This time, it's really our turn!"
Uncle Zhang watched Ding Ning's figure disappear, then turned to look at the other prison guards, and said softly:
"These old arms and legs of mine can't carry you, so..."
Saying that, Uncle Zhang straightened his body, held the rifle in front of his chest, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, attention, assemble!"
With Uncle Zhang's order, the movements of all the wounded prison guards suddenly became quite neat. In less than three seconds, they stood in two neat rows in front of Uncle Zhang, each row with exactly nine people!
Looking at this familiar formation, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears, because he knew that this was the last time they would stand in formation, but no matter what, even if they had encountered a huge change, even if everyone was wounded, the speed of their final assembly was the fastest and most perfect in their history...
