Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 200 I'm Still on Duty

“Eyes right! Eyes right!”

Seeing this scene, Uncle Zhang seemed to have returned to the time when he was training new police officers, shouting at the top of his lungs. Following his command, all the prison guards made standard movements in unison, all emotions disappearing from their eyes, leaving only determination.

“Right… face! Target, your own beds, right-rear turn, forward… march!!!”

In the end, Uncle Zhang issued what might be the last command of his life, and all the prison guards turned to the right, then marched in neat steps into the dormitory corridor.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

Amid the uniform sound of footsteps, Uncle Zhang turned backward with a standard military posture, saluted the military flag outside, then lowered his arm, closed the door, gripped his gun, turned backward, and strode into the dormitory…

Just as Uncle Zhang stepped into the dormitory corridor, about to disappear from the camera, the image stopped abruptly, the screen froze, showing only a slightly blurred back view, yet like a long spear.

“Phew!”

Li Chenzhou let out a long breath, took the mouse, clicked close, and then took out the USB flash drive…

“Why… isn’t there any more after that?”

Grizzly Bear looked at Li Chenzhou and asked.

“Because… Ding Ning came back! He didn’t dare to watch the ending, so at least there’s still a glimmer of hope in his heart!”

Li Chenzhou stared at the USB flash drive in his hand and answered softly.

Everyone fell silent. Several minutes later, Li Chenzhou stood up, holding the USB flash drive, and walked out of the monitoring room. Fatty and Grizzly Bear quickly followed.

Just after walking out of the monitoring room, Li Chenzhou stopped. Ding Ning was curled up in a corner of the corridor outside, burying his head in his knees, his shoulders constantly shaking slightly.

Li Chenzhou walked forward and gently patted Ding Ning’s shoulder. Ding Ning raised his head, looking at Li Chenzhou with teary eyes:

“I… I completed the mission. Although I was scared, I still killed all the mutated prisoners in the prison by myself, and dragged their bodies out and buried them behind the building.

“And, I can guarantee that absolutely no prisoner ran out while I was on duty!”

Saying that, Ding Ning stood up, wiped his face with his hand, his eyes becoming firm, and stared at Li Chenzhou:

“Xiao Gang hasn’t come to take over my shift yet, which means my shift isn’t over. I’ll keep going until they’re free and come to replace me! Although I was the last prison guard to come to Qing City Prison, and the most useless and timid one, I can still prove that none of our police team are cowards, we are no worse than any other team!!!”

“Snap!”

Before Li Chenzhou could answer, Grizzly Bear had already stepped forward, stood in front of Ding Ning, ramrod straight, and saluted him!!!

Seeing this special forces soldier salute him, a prison guard, Ding Ning’s eyes turned red instantly, but he desperately held back the tears from falling, and returned a military salute to Grizzly Bear.

“You are all good! I can’t represent the other teams, but at least I can represent the special forces. You are no worse than us! You even do better than us!!!”

Grizzly Bear looked at Ding Ning and said seriously.

Before this, in Grizzly Bear’s eyes, prison guards were just muddling through. Not to mention soldiers, they weren’t even qualified as police officers. But the previous video had deeply touched Grizzly Bear’s heart.

He had imagined himself and Li Yunshan in their place, and then he realized that although they could sacrifice themselves when saving people, just like Li Yunshan, it would be difficult for them to harm their own people.

Needless to say, if Li Yunshan were standing in front of Grizzly Bear now, Grizzly Bear felt that he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to do it. If that was the case when facing comrades who had turned into zombies, let alone someone like Uncle Zhang, who had to shoot his own comrades who hadn’t even mutated yet.

Therefore, Grizzly Bear’s salute was completely voluntary, even filled with respect!!!

Hearing Grizzly Bear say that the prison guards were no worse than the special forces, Ding Ning, who had been desperately holding back, broke down instantly, tears gushing out like a spring. His body also began to tremble, but he still tried his best to stand straight, only repeating vaguely: Thank you! Thank you!

“Ding Ning! You shouldn’t say thank you, because the respect you received was earned by you and your comrades. You deserve it, so you don’t have to thank anyone. On the contrary, there are many people who should thank you!”

Li Chenzhou patted Ding Ning’s shoulder and said, then raised the USB flash drive in his hand:

“Xiao Gang is right, this video shouldn’t be buried, it should be seen, at least, it should be seen by the survivors who will be stationed here in the future, to let them know what kind of people once guarded this place, so… can I copy this?”

“Just take it! I’ve already made a copy!”

Ding Ning nodded with teary eyes.

“Boss, the door outside…”

Li Chenzhou nodded, just wanting to say something more, when Duan Lei suddenly rushed in from outside, shouting loudly, but suddenly saw Ding Ning’s face full of tears, and Grizzly Bear and Li Chenzhou’s solemn expressions, and couldn’t help stopping and staring blankly at them.

“Ding Ning opened it! There is a backup power supply in the prison, so the power hasn’t been cut off. We were able to enter here because he helped us open the door!”

Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei and explained, then looked at Ding Ning, but began to feel troubled in his heart.

If this prison had already been occupied by prisoners or zombies, then it would be quite easy to handle, at least for Li Chenzhou. Just kill them, and then there would be no problem.

But now, this place was being guarded by Ding Ning, a prison guard. If Ding Ning refused to let them in, then it would be easy to say, just continue to force their way in. But now, having watched the video, Li Chenzhou could no longer take any tough measures against Ding Ning.

“Ding Ning! Can I trouble you to take my brother to take a look inside the prison? He’s quite smart, see if he can come up with any ideas!”

Li Chenzhou winked at Duan Lei, then looked at Ding Ning and asked:

“After all, you’re on duty here, so if you don’t take him, I can’t let him go in by himself!”

“Okay! No problem!”

Ding Ning looked at Duan Lei and immediately nodded in agreement. As long as those prisoners didn’t escape, it would be fine. As for taking people in to take a look, it didn’t matter, since he had already taken Li Chenzhou and the others to see it earlier.

“Grizzly Bear! Your rank should be higher than his, right?”

Watching Ding Ning take Duan Lei into the prison, Li Chenzhou looked at Grizzly Bear.

“Of course!”

Grizzly Bear nodded, then frowned. He understood Li Chenzhou’s idea, and then said:

“But we’re not in the same system after all. Normally, I don’t have the right to directly issue orders to him, unless I send a letter to his superiors and obtain authorization!”

“It doesn’t matter! I think I should have a way, but…”

Li Chenzhou said hesitantly…
