"Who is it?" He frowned and put down the gun.
Turning around, he exhaled impatiently.
"Come in!"
The door opened, and a soldier with a cane leaned in from outside.
The man was short in stature, with a stooped back, a mischievous face, dark oil stains and sunburns on his face, a dirty green knitted hat on his head, sloppy clothes, and a wretched look.
The person who came was Jin Erbing, the supplies manager appointed by Captain Xu.
Captain Xu changed his slumped expression, squeezed out a bit of an evil smile, and raised his pistol to pretend to shoot at the Jin Erbing who walked in, and matched a gunshot with his mouth.
"Boom!"
"Ah——" Jin Erbing understood his understanding, and immediately covered his chest as if in pain, and acted with his boss like licking a dog.
Jin Erbing turned out to be a lame man, relying on a half-length steel pipe as a crutch to walk normally.
It's even more comical that he pretends to be shot and walks with a limp.
He staggered up to Captain Xu, took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, raised his eyes and smiled.
"Sir, I honor you."
Captain Xu waved his hand holding the gun, and joked, "I don't accept bribes, so save yourself."
"Really? This is whiskey." Jin Erbing rolled his eyes and spoke in a playful tone. He knew that he had an unusual relationship with his boss.
"The high-end goods I just got, Johnnie Walker, black label whiskey."
Captain Xu smiled lightly and shook his head, put away the gun and put it aside, "Thank you, but I have decided to quit drinking."
He said so with his mouth, but his body was very sincere. While speaking, he met the wine bottle that Jin Erbing had opened, and handed over the wine glass.
Jin Erbing smiled graciously, while pouring wine into the officer's glass while holding the bottle respectfully with both hands.
"Please, there is absolutely nothing to say about this wine."
After drinking half a glass, Captain Xu nodded in satisfaction, smacked his lips, and asked:
"Is there anything to report, Jin Erbing?"
Hearing this, the Second Soldier Jin put down the wine bottle, took two steps back, and saluted respectfully with the hand that was not holding the crutch.
"Report sir, everything is normal."
After he finished speaking, he hesitated again, before hesitating to speak: "It's just..."
"Just what?"
"Ahem, it's just that Captain Huang led a team out hunting last time, and he hasn't returned yet."
Captain Xu frowned, feeling a little abnormal: "Hasn't the third team been out for several days and haven't come back yet?"
Unit 631 has three action teams.
The first team has the largest number of people and is stationed in the camp, responsible for the security around the camp.
The second and third teams are safari teams. The so-called "safari" refers to leaving the camp regularly to search for useful supplies in surrounding buildings occupied by zombies.
Among them, the three teams are the main force of the safari. They have returned with countless rewards in the past few years, and they have solved the urgent needs of the camp.
"Report sir, yes." Jin Erbing replied.
Captain Xu's face was gloomy, the moment of joy he had recovered with great difficulty disappeared suddenly, and he squinted his eyes thoughtfully.
"It's not like something happened."
Captain Xu knew very well what the loss of the third team meant to the entire Unit 631.
The supplies in the camp are only enough for them to survive for another week. If the third team gets sick, it will undoubtedly make things worse.
Since Lieutenant Colonel Jin was forced to leave, Captain Xu has been maintaining the order of Unit 631.
All kinds of living materials are strictly rationed except for the one he enjoys exclusively.
Food, drinking water, clothing and other items, if found to be stolen or used without authorization, will be executed immediately on the spot.
In addition, if there is a waste of materials, it will also be severely punished. One warning, two direct expulsion from the camp, and those who violate the order will become wild dogs.
But these measures only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The size of more than 200 people, plus four years, is enough to empty out all the materials that can be searched and used within a radius of more than ten miles.
Now it has finally come to the point where the camp of the 631 troops has finally run out of resources, ammunition and food.
Now we can only pin our only hope on the new discoveries made by the safari team.
If the safari team cannot find more supplies from this city surrounded by zombies to bring back to the base, then even if Unit 631 did not die under the impact of the zombie swarm, it would be hard for them to escape the tragic fate of being starved to death in the end!
However, sober reason told Captain Xu that the chances of the safari team gaining anything are very slim.
Because everyone knows that it is impossible to search for more supplies in the safe area that can be reached in the entire Incheon,
This is also the real reason why Captain Xu had no choice but to shoot himself.
Unit 631 has no future...
He didn't want to face that ending, and he didn't want to take responsibility for the survival of the entire army, so he could only choose to use death to escape this inevitable tragedy.
Jin Erbing couldn't understand what Captain Xu was thinking, he just analyzed it carefully from his own point of view, and wanted to share the chief's worries.
"I think it's a bit bad. Usually the three teams go out for no more than three days at most, and the rations brought by Captain Huang are only enough for them to eat for three days."
"Or let the second team go out and look for it?"
The hunting time of the three teams did not exceed three days. In addition to the fuel problem of the car, there was also the lack of food.
In addition, the farther the team went from the camp, the more unknown the situation of the zombies and the more dangerous the environment.
Therefore, most of the hunting teams only move within the radius of the city with the camp as the center and no more than three days' drive.
Jin Erbing's speech has always been sincere, because he distributes the food and supplies for every trip of the hunting team.
He is the material administrator in the camp of the 631 troops, appointed by Captain Xu.
Before the fall of the peninsula, according to the rules of superiority and inferiority in the army in the past, his rank as a second-class soldier was the bottom of the bottom in 631 miles.
But now, with Captain Xu backing him up, Erbing Jin has transformed into a real-power celebrity in Unit 631.
