Chapter 319 Repression
Qin You paused slightly, "I don't know who else was invited by the head of the base besides me?"
"Except for Captain Qin, the captains of the major mercenary teams at the base are all invited." The man seemed to know that Qin You was going to ask. There was no change in his tone, and he said it calmly.
Qin nodded, "But for the recent fall of major bases and the fact that the escapees have entered the stubborn stone one after another?"
"Captain Qin guessed well. It has something to do with this matter." He answered briefly by grasping the point.
Seeing that he said so, he knew that he couldn't ask again, so he said hello to the family and followed him out of the house.
When she walked outside the powerhouse office building, she met Leng Shuang and Wei Ling. Qin You nodded to Leng Shuang as a greeting. He was about to continue to move forward, but he didn't expect Leng Shuang to stop and came this way.
"Are you all right?" Leng Shuang stared at her and asked.
Qin You remembered that he disappeared after chasing the perfect zombie with Leng Shuang that day, so he smiled at him, "I'm fine, but there are too many things at home during this period..." In a word, he turned to other topics, "Is your team still doing tasks recently?"
Leng Shuang seemed to think that her question was strange. After her expression changed slightly, she returned to normal. "Well, if you don't do a task, there will be no crystal. There are so many people below." With so many mouths, even if you don't improve your strength, you can't live here without crystals every day.
In fact, after asking, Qin You also felt that he had asked a silly question. Not everyone has an anti-sky space like her. She can directly upgrade the crystal to one level. She can save a lot of crystals for a whole team of people to absorb for more than a month, but Leng Shuang and others do not have this kind of magic weapon. If they want to survive and eat, they must be indispensable. Do the task.
So she said directly, "There are bases falling everywhere. I think only the stubborn stone is peaceful. I just want to ask what strange happened to you on the way to the mission?"
Leng Shuang shook his head and said, "If it's strange, there are very few zombies near the stubborn stone you mentioned, as if they are deliberately avoiding here. We went hundreds of miles away to do tasks. There are thousands of zombies near every town, and we dare not get too close at all."
While the two were talking, they followed the man into the powerhouse office building. Just as he walked in, Old Chu came out of it. "Hurry up, it's just you."
While talking, he approached a slightly larger conference room with Qin You and Leng Shuang.
There were indeed dozens of people sitting in it, all of whom were captains of major mercenary teams, and there were many familiar faces. After a little sign, Old Chu asked them to sit in the two empty positions in front.
"The head of the base has something to do at the last minute, so I'm responsible for this matter." Old man Chu first explained the reason why the head of the base did not appear, and then began to tell everyone the reason for summoning them.
"A few days ago, half a month ago, the Jinshi base fell, and a large number of escapees came to the stubborn stone. From their mouths, we learned that there were still many people in Jinshi and the head of the base were trapped, so we sent some people to visit the situation. Then we found that there were hundreds of people who escaped from Jinshi, including Jinshi's base director and several high-level officials, but the base strength was limited, so we called everyone here. You should have also found that the number of zombies wandering outside the base is gradually increasing, but there is still no large-scale zombies gathering within a hundred miles. After the high-level meeting and discussion, they were worried that there would be perfect zombie manipulation to try to be unfavorable to the stubborn stone, so they could not send too much force to rescue.
Speaking of this, the old man Chu glanced at Qin You, "There is no reward for this task, but you should be clear that the fall of the golden stone may be the tomorrow of the stubborn stone. Do you want to see such a result?"
Old man Chu's voice is not high or low, but it is very powerful, making everyone silent.
"Now one more person is more power. We must save hundreds of people in Jinshi! Otherwise, on the day when the stubborn stone falls, no one will reach out to save us!" Old man Chu's emotions infected everyone present, including Qin You.
So someone said, "Minister Chu, don't worry, we understand that the base has given us a safe place to live, and now is also the time for us to repay. Besides, you said it well. I also hope that one day someone will come to pull me in trouble."
After the middle-aged man named Lao Liao finished speaking, someone stood up one after another.
Qin You also agreed, but she did not take this head, because if this form continues to develop, it is inevitable for them to participate in this task together.
But who knows, the old man Chu's eyes turned and his eyes quickly fell on her, "Captain Qin, what's your opinion?"
Qin You didn't expect that the old man Chu would directly pass so many people to point himself. Thinking that he had not made a statement just now, he couldn't help but have a fever. She forced herself to hide it calmly, and then said, "Minister Chu, don't worry, we will complete this task well!"
Old man Chu nodded with relief and said, "Okay! I will leave this task to you. I'm sure you can do it well!"
After the old man Chu finished his words, he ignored Qin You's consterling face and turned his head and looked at the others. "Since everyone has no objection, the matter has been decided. This task is fully responsible by Qin You, the captain of the Hope Mercenary Team. She will tell you what to do next."
All the people present here have heard of the name of the Hope Mercenary Team, but they rarely have the opportunity to see Qin You himself. They will feel that it is not worthy of the name in their hearts. But the old man Chu directly asked her to be responsible for this task, so he had to let everyone re-examine Qin You.
Qin You suddenly felt that it was like sitting on pins and needles in those eyes. She understood what those people were thinking, because she was also suspicious. It seems that the senior management of stubborn stone should be very concerned about this task. After all, it is to rescue the senior management of the Jinshi base. Why does old man Chu believe in himself so much? He clicked himself to be the leader without asking everyone's opinions.
"Captain Qin, come out with me," Old man Chu said this to Qin You and turned around and left the conference room.
Qin You was also uncomfortable with all kinds of unclear eyes. The old man Chu went out with his front foot, and she followed her back foot.
"Minister Chu, why do you let me take charge of this task? I'm afraid I can't..." Qin You said bluntly that she should be responsible for such a big thing. If it's well done well and not well done well, then she has to take full responsibility.
Old man Chu didn't say a word for a moment. He stared at her and finished his words, and then said, "Qin girl, do you think everyone can live a good life as the last base after the fall of other bases?"
Old man Chu didn't seem to want Qin You to answer. After asking, he answered by himself, "No! Humans are social animals. Although there are still a lot of people left in the stubborn stone, for the whole world, it is still an individual. The space here is limited, the resources are limited, and the vulnerable people may not last for half a year, and the stronger ones will last for a few years at most. In the end... human beings will still be on the verge of extinction! At this time, if you have this strength, you have to take this responsibility. If you save one more human being, you will have more hope.
The words of Mr. Chu made Qin You enlightened. Although she also had the idea of saving one more hope, when she really brought herself out and might face many dangers, she still subconsciously wanted to protect herself. To put it bluntly, she was selfish.
But things have come to this point. No matter how selfish she is, when all the bases outside fall and all the human beings in other bases disappear, so what's the point of their survival?
That's not what she wants! What she wants is to defeat the zombies and return a beautiful home to mankind!
"Good! I can be responsible for this task," Qin You persuaded himself and made Old Chu relieved.
"However, I want to ask you, why do you think I am qualified for this task?" Qin You asked seriously.
Old man Chu suddenly laughed and said, "Aunt Qin... You are too careful. Who will pay attention to you at this time? Don't be afraid. I'm looking for you because I've read your task record and never failed. I believe that even if you don't have that kind of strength, you will definitely have your way to lead everyone to escape.
So it's like this... After listening to Mr. Chu's words, Qin You was a little touched. In fact, she has always been a little repulsive to the senior leaders of these bases, but the old man Chu's life makes her feel that in fact, he has a broad mind, not only for survival, but also for the future of mankind...
Old man Chu patted her on the shoulder and said solemnly, "I have other important things to deal with, and I'll leave it to you."
Qin You nodded heavily when he heard the words, "Don't worry, since I promised, I will do my best to do better. Even if I can't complete this task, I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety..."
After Mr. Chu left, Qin You did not immediately walk into the conference room. He stood outside for a long time to sort out his thoughts before walking steadily.
The noisy conference room calmed down the moment she pushed the door and walked in.
Her face was as heavy as water, and she walked in with her head held high. Here, she is not old or the strongest. If she wants to suppress these people, she can't have stage fright first.
They glanced at those familiar faces, including You Yi, Zhuo Fan, Leng Shuang, and the captains who had done tasks together before. They were very convinced by Qin You and nodded in support one after another.
But there are still some unconvinced people. After being quiet for a while in the conference room, they suddenly patted the table and stood up, "Captain Qin, I'd like to hear, how do you take us to rescue the high-rise of Jinshi?"
After the loud sound, everyone stared at Qin You. Some were worried about her, while others looked like they were watching the play.
Qin You was slightly angry, but she knew that if she didn't suppress these people before leaving, there would be a lot of trouble in the subsequent task process.
She sat quietly, and her body gradually exuded a momentum of not being angry and self-righteous, which was called a quiet atmosphere. In this way, the popularity of the hustle and questioning just now has weakened.
