This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 41

Three days later, in the hospital of K Division.

 

Wei Lin was transferred here five days after his surgery. The temporary observation room in K Division was so crude and not soundproof that it felt like solitary confinement.

 

Fortunately, the visits from his comrades made the place much livelier.

 

Especially when Li Jin and Yan Jinrui visited, they brought a basket of fruit for each of the two injured soldiers as a consolation.

 

Fruit had become a scarce commodity in this post-apocalyptic world.

 

Yan, the division commander, had already been dismissed and was only temporarily managing K Division. He chatted with the injured soldiers for a while and promised to handle all the aftermath and follow-up work. In short, he would clean up the mess before his successor took over.

 

The turmoil eventually led to instability in K Division. Although there were reasons for this, it would still lead to a change in leadership.

 

Who would become the new commander of K Division became a hot topic among the special forces. It was said that there were more than a dozen nominees from various factions this time.

 

There were both old veterans and young newcomers.

 

Given the important position of K Division, this position could change the military situation in the country.

 

As soon as the fruit was placed on the table, Wei Lin saw He Ye’s eyes light up next to him.

 

After the division commander and Li Jin left, He Ye stayed in the observation room under the pretext of learning cryptography.

 

Seeing him salivating at the sight of the fruit, Wei Lin ruffled his hair and said, “Eat, eat as much as you want.”

 

When Wei Lin finished explaining a basic theory to He Ye and reached into the fruit basket to taste a little bit of fruit, He Ye, who was lowering his head next to him, put his hand into the fruit basket and took away the last banana.

 

Wei Lin’s mouth twitched, “Is it good?”

 

He Ye nodded, “It’s quite sweet.”

 

“You’ve eaten several pounds of fruit today. I’m injured, and you’re gaining weight. Do you think that’s appropriate?”

 

“I won’t get fat, I have the kind of physique that doesn’t gain weight no matter how much I eat,” He Ye said, looking at the banana in his hand as if he was looking at a long-lost first love.

 

Wei Lin: “…”

 

He reflected that He Ye couldn’t understand his sarcasm or innuendo at all, so he bluntly broke it down, “Can’t you leave some for me?”

 

Only then did He Ye come to a realization, looking at the half-eaten banana in his hand.

 

Wei Lin grabbed his hand and took a bite of the banana, finally feeling satisfied.

 

The two of them had just been alone for a while when suddenly there was a flurry of footsteps in the corridor. Wei Lin looked up curiously as the door was knocked and then pushed open from the outside. At the door was a group of soldiers, but judging by their attire, they were not from K Division. The soldier saluted Wei Lin and said, “A leader is coming to visit, we came in advance to carry out security work.”

 

He Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, “Which team are you guys from?” He found it strange in his heart, what level of leader was this? Even bigger than Yan Jinrui, the division commander, this was K Division, and they still had to clear the area like this?

 

The soldier looked at him but didn’t answer.

 

Wei Lin patted He Ye on the shoulder and said, “You should go first.”

 

He Ye looked at Wei Lin, and although he didn’t understand, he still replied, “Okay.” After finishing his words, he handed the banana tail to Wei Lin.

 

Wei Lin added, “Remember to finish the problem.” He felt that if He Ye were to mess up sending codes and lead others astray in the future, it would be his responsibility.

 

After He Ye left, the soldiers began to get busy again. First, they checked all the corners of the room, then swept it with equipment to make sure there were no electronic eavesdropping devices, and then did a simple clean-up, drew the curtains, and finally, two soldiers brought over a luxurious chair and placed it next to Wei Lin’s bed.

 

Wei Lin bit the banana while watching the soldiers busily working for about ten minutes. In the end, he gave the banana peel to the soldiers who were cleaning up as trash.

 

There were footsteps in the corridor again, this time only one person. The iron soles of the military boots struck the cold hospital floor, the rhythm was clear, and the footsteps were fast.

 

Then, a tall man walked in, and immediately a soldier saluted him respectfully, then stretched out both hands, and the man skillfully handed his gloves to his subordinate. He made a gesture with an indifferent expression, and all the people withdrew.

 

Wei Lin looked at the man and reminded him, “I heard that this place is not soundproof.”

 

The man sat down on the stool, found a comfortable position, and crossed his legs, “Don’t worry, I’ve sealed off the entire building.” His actions were not arrogant, and his tone was very calm, but he could give people a sense of pressure.

 

Wei Lin said, “Senior Colonel Zou really has a big face. I know what you want from me.”

 

Zou Fang sat in the chair, slightly raising his eyebrows, as if he was a great leader who could make anyone loyal to him and work for him. If Zou Lang was here, he would be very surprised, wondering why his brother was here at this time.

 

Wei Lin gently lowered his head and said, “Couldn’t wait for me to recover, so you rushed to transfer me here and even visited me personally. You probably hope that I can maintain and upgrade the system of K Division, right?” This sentence was not very clear, but Wei Lin understood in his heart that the position of the leader of K Division, which seemed to be still in contention, had actually been decided.

 

Most of the candidates of the conservative faction were older, and most of the candidates of the radical faction were younger, but their qualifications were shallow. The two factions were at odds with each other, which instead allowed the Zou family, which had always maintained neutrality, to take advantage of the situation.

 

Zou Fang admitted generously, “The official order has not yet come down, but it should be in the next day or two. I have to race against time with the enemy.”

 

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, “Those two groups of people are more terrifying than zombies, they are downright madmen.”

 

Due to the outbreak of the zombie plague, the domestic situation, which was not very clear to begin with, all factions began to show their fangs and claws. Not to mention the open and secret fights between these two factions, there were also forces behind the scenes, reaching out their black hands.

 

Wei Lin nodded in agreement, showing a bitter smile, “At least we can see the process of zombies pouncing on us, and we can feel the teeth biting into the flesh. But humans will always rush out from places you wouldn’t expect, and stab you in the back.”

 

“Let’s not talk about that,” Zou Fang glanced at his watch, “We have limited time, I’ve brought all the necessary equipment including a laptop and desk. I don’t trust the people in the technical department, so you’re the only one to complete this task. I hope that within an hour, you can make all the planning arrangements and give me a clear schedule for completion. Once this is done, I want K Division’s electronic system to be as solid as a rock.”

 

“Okay, I will do my best.”

 

Zou Fang nodded slightly, “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

 

On the other side, He Ye walked out of the medical center. The outside playground was bathed in brilliant sunshine and fresh air. After they joined K0 team, they had a lot more leisure time than when they were students.

 

When there were no missions, they only needed to complete about four hours of courses and training each day, the rest of the time was free.

 

Now K Division was changing its leader. Unless it was an emergency mission handled by the K3 team, many ordinary missions were temporarily shelved. Those in K0 team didn’t even know where their next mission would be.

 

He Ye was strolling around the edge of the playground when a guy walked straight towards him and asked, “Where is Zou Lang?”

 

He Ye knew this person, he was from B class, his name was Han Xingjun, and he was on duty today.

 

“I haven’t seen him, what’s up?” Although He Ye and Zou Lang shared a dormitory, Zou Lang often didn’t return at night these days.

 

Fortunately, although K Division was militarized, it wasn’t so strict about checking rooms and beds.

 

Han Xingjun said, “Someone from his family is looking for him.”

 

In K Division, family visits were allowed.

 

Before family members entered K Division, they needed to go through layers of document checks, as well as body and blood tests for infection. After passing, they could wait in the communication area, and family members from the team could lead them in.

 

In K Division, there were some military areas and weapon equipment warehouses that family members couldn’t go to, but half of the places, such as the dining hall, rest room, and ordinary training room, family members could visit.

 

Upon hearing this, He Ye, in the spirit of helping others, said, “Although I don’t know where Zou Lang is, I know where the Instructor is!”

 

Han Xingjun felt it was inappropriate, “Ah, don’t…it’s not very good.”

 

“What’s not good about it, isn’t he our instructor? Even if my parents came and I wasn’t there for a while, it wouldn’t be awkward to lead them in.” He Ye felt that Han Xingjun was thinking too much. He thought to himself, besides, isn’t Zou Lang’s family also the Instructor’s family? What’s so awkward about it?

 

“Well…” Han Xingjun was still hesitating.

 

However, He Ye patted him on the shoulder and said, “You’re welcome, the Instructor is in Training Hall 2.” After walking a few steps, He Ye, who liked to do good deeds without leaving a name, turned back and reminded, “By the way, don’t say I told you.”

 

At this time, Yu Jingtang was doing rehabilitation exercises in the training hall. After returning from N City, he first did a full-body check-up, and the conclusion was that there was no abnormality.

 

The doctor said, ‘you come back later, the scar will be gone’.

 

The rehabilitation exercises in these few days also went smoothly, the movements were easier than before, and the recovery of endurance and strength was also good.

 

Yu Jingtang found this abnormality very strange and planned to ask Fang Yazhou next time.

 

At this time, he had just finished training, took a shower, changed into a new set of clothes, and was ready to go for lunch. The military uniform in the spring made him look even more upright.

 

Han Xingjun knocked on the door of the training room and walked in, “Reporting to the Instructor.”

 

“Hmm?” Yu Jingtang looked up, fastening his collar.

 

“Zou Lang has a family visit. But since he couldn’t be found, they were first led to the reception room. The family has been waiting for a while, do you know where Zou Lang is? Or…would you like to go over first?”

 

Yu Jingtang was taken aback, his face expressionless, but was extremely surprised in his heart. What kind of development was this?

 

He suddenly felt like he was about to meet his parents.

 

Where could Zou Lang be now?

 

Was he flirting with the new nurse in the medical center?

 

Playing cards with Su Rui and the others?

 

Practicing target shooting on the back mountain?

 

His life was so colorful, he could be anywhere in this yard. Even if the two of them were close, Yu Jingtang was not his nanny. He wouldn’t keep track of his whereabouts.

 

Han Xingjun saw that Yu Jingtang didn’t reply, and asked again, looking a bit embarrassed, “Instructor, it’s almost lunchtime, and we have to change shifts.”

 

Only then did Yu Jingtang nod and say, “Alright, I’ll go and receive them first.” As he walked towards the reception room, he was thinking about who else was in Zou Lang’s family.

 

First of all, it shouldn’t be Zou Lang’s father, his father was the army commander and wouldn’t go through the visiting process, what’s left…his brother? His brother also held a position in the military, and his rank was not low.

 

Could it be Zou Lang’s mother? Although he had never heard him mention his mother, this army commander’s wife had never appeared in everyone’s gossip.

 

What else…could it be some grandparents or grandparents? Although it’s not common, sometimes the elderly do come for visits.

 

What else…could it be that he had provoked some romantic debt and was found here?

 

But as for girlfriends and the like, unless the person himself wrote it on the family contact form, they would not be able to pass the review at all.

 

Yu Jingtang walked all the way to the door, pushed open the door of the reception room with a nervous heart, and there was no one inside…

 

Yu Jingtang was taken aback, then felt someone tugging at his clothes, he looked down and saw a little girl about a meter tall on the ground, the little girl blinked and asked him, “Handsome big brother, who are you?”

 

Yu Jingtang squatted down, “Uh…I’m Zou Lang’s instructor, are you Zou Lang’s sister?”

 

The little girl blinked again, her pink face wearing a proud expression, she tilted her head and said, “Zou Lang is my dad.”

 

At that moment, Yu Jingtang felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him, he looked at the little girl’s face, and the little girl was also looking straight at him.
