Chapter 212 Selection
After Lu Yan settled down, he decided to visit Lieutenant General Lu. Mu Tang had been holding on to the corner of his clothes ever since they kissed him, and wanted to follow him wherever he went, so Lu Yan took her with him.
When I arrived outside Lieutenant General Lu's office, I heard Major General Li's voice through the door:
"Lieutenant General, what are you still hesitating about? There is obviously something wrong with the people at Shanglan Base. We should eliminate the risk as soon as possible!!"
"Isn't it already under control?" This was Lieutenant General Lu's voice.
"What I mean is to get rid of all the people!!" Major General Li's voice was high-pitched, and it sounded like he even slapped the table.
"I'll think about it again." Lieutenant General Lu obviously didn't want to agree.
"You are too indecisive. This is no longer the case. We need to use violent methods to deal with things, instead of being extrajudicial and tolerant like before!!" Major General Li said loudly.
Mu Tang tugged at the corner of Lu Yan's clothes and glanced at the office door worriedly.
Lu Yan smiled reassuringly, and then knocked on the door:
"Report."
The room became quiet, and after a while, the door was opened, revealing the still angry face of Major General Li.
He was also stunned when he saw Lu Yan, and then made way for them to enter.
Lieutenant General Lu, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately stood up when he saw the person coming and said in surprise:
"Lu Yan?! You're back!"
Lu Yan stood at attention and saluted:
"Report, the task has been completed."
Mu Tang imitated it from the side, then narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Tell uncle, we are back~"
The tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. Lieutenant General Lu swept away his solemn expression and his face was filled with joy:
"Xiaotang is back too. How are you? Are you injured?"
Mu Tang shook his head, bent his arms and made a bodybuilding movement, and then patted his upper arms:
"No, we are awesome!"
"Okay, okay." Lieutenant General Lu smiled even more happily, and the two people looked up and down with relief on their faces.
Lu Yan was relieved to see that Lieutenant General Lu was fine, and smiled as he watched the interaction between Mu Tang and Lieutenant General Lu.
"Lieutenant General."
Major General Li called out a reminder from the side and looked unhappy.
Lieutenant General Lu turned around, his face became solemn again, he shook his head and said:
"Let me think about it again."
Major General Li became anxious instantly, and his tone began to rise again:
"Lieutenant General, when are you going to think about it? Those people are a serious threat to the base every day. Is it so difficult to deal with them?!"
"Major General Li!!" Lieutenant General Lu's expression also became serious, and he said word by word:
"What you have to deal with is not objects, but people, our compatriots. Think about how many survivors there are in our country now?!"
Major General Li was unmoved and his tone remained fierce:
"But you can't just put them in the base, let alone just let them out without doing anything! What if they leak the base's information? Do you also have to think about the compatriots in the base?
!!”
"I know you are afraid of breaking up with them, but the current ruler of Shanglan Base overthrew the government and usurped the throne. This is not credible in the first place."
"Lieutenant General, you think things are too simple, and you think others too well. Things are different now, do you know?!"
Having said this, Major General Li suddenly changed his topic and looked at Lu Yan:
"Since you don't agree with my point of view, you can also ask Lu Yan, isn't he your nephew? You can always listen to what he says, right?"
Having said this, Lieutenant General Lu also turned his attention to Lu Yan:
"Lu Yan, what do you think?"
Lu Yan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Major General Li said again:
"I believe you can make the right judgment. Shanglan Base must not be trusted!"
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and suddenly said:
"Lieutenant General, I don't know if Qin Zhen has given you the report, but I want to tell you that this time we saw the leader of Shanglan's envoy in the Land of Tomorrow, and he is a zombie."
"What did you say?!" Lieutenant General Lu said in surprise.
Mu Tang was also a little uneasy and secretly hugged Lu Yan's arm.
Lu Yan touched her head.
This was a helpless move. The humanoid zombie could no longer hide it. Even if he didn't tell Qin Zhen, he would definitely report it. It would be better if Lu Yan said it directly, so they wouldn't pay too much attention to Mu Tang.
Major General Li finally grasped the topic this time and said impatiently:
"Lieutenant General, did you hear that? Are you going to let them live now?"
Lieutenant General Lu thought for a long time, then shook his head and said:
"Let me think about it."
"Lieutenant General!!!!" Major General Li shouted.
"Okay, I will seriously consider your proposal, you go ahead and do your work!" Lieutenant General Lu issued the eviction order.
At this point, Major General Li had no choice but to leave the office unwillingly.
The room became quiet.
After a long time, Lieutenant General Lu finally spoke, his voice a little tired:
"You also think I'm too indecisive, don't you?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said softly:
"You have your reasons."
Lieutenant General Lu sighed, stood up and looked out the window:
"I have changed a lot after the end of the world. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I gave up my bottom line and used my power to draw everyone's attention to your whereabouts. I told you that I was waiting for you to come home. Even later, out of selfish motives, I didn't want you to go home.
You go on an adventure at Tomorrow Base."
Lu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and his face showed a trace of emotion.
Indeed, his uncle has changed a lot now compared to before the end of the world.
Lieutenant General Lu raised his hand and touched the glass, looking at the busy people in the base:
"Lu Yan, when you joined the army, I told you that when you point your gun at others, you should think clearly about what you are doing. Now, I am thinking about it too."
"They are living people. They are one of the few compatriots we have in this doomsday world where the zombies are walking. So I cannot take away their lives easily."
Lieutenant General Lu looked into the distance, his voice as gentle as a mosquito:
"Perhaps, my temperament is not suitable for being a good consul in the last days."
Lu Yan did not answer.
After leaving the office, about three hours later, Lieutenant General Lu's order was conveyed:
Agree to deal with the prisoners at Shanglan Base.
