I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 291 I Just Want to Survive

Major Yan's harsh rebuke made the young captain tremble violently, and then he fell to the ground weakly.

After a while, he suddenly pulled out the pistol from his waist, pointed it at Major Yan and said, "You and I are not in the same department. You have no right to ask me to input the base self-destruct command. After the base commander dies, I am the highest commander of this department. I refuse to execute your self-destruct order!"

When the young captain pulled out his pistol, all the soldiers present were stunned. For a moment, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

In fact, the captain was right. He and Major Yan were indeed not in the same department. Major Yan was previously in charge of logistics management at the base. According to the base's combat regulations, he was indeed not qualified to issue a self-destruction order.

But the problem is that the base commander-in-chief, political commissar, and deputy commander-in-chief have died one after another, and he is now the person with the highest military rank here. For a moment, no one knew what to do, and everyone's eyes were flickering.

"Dong Shanjia, how dare you draw your gun! Put it down now!"

Major Yan also had staunch supporters, a lieutenant named Xiong Zhuang. The moment Captain Dong drew his gun at Major Yan, he also drew his gun at him and shouted loudly.

Xiong Zhuang's action immediately inspired other soldiers. For a moment, all the soldiers who had weapons subconsciously drew their pistols, and all of them pointed their guns at Captain Dong.

Attacked by over a dozen pistols, Dong Shangjia's face was covered in sweat. He screamed hysterically, "Are you all confused? Are you willing to die like this? We've been trapped here like a prison for five months, calling out to our superiors every day, but has anyone ever paid any attention to us?"

As he spoke, he slammed his pistol to the ground and pointed it at the solemn-looking Major Yan, shouting unwillingly, "Country? Where is the country? You've heard the news on the civilian channel. The whole country... no... the whole world is finished. Even if we blow ourselves up, no one will remember us!"

"Wuwuwu... I just want to live, is that wrong?! Wuwuwu..."

As Dong Shanjia was speaking, he knelt on the ground, holding his head and crying. The other soldiers put down their guns at the same time. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces as they watched him kneeling on the ground and crying hysterically.

"Go ahead! Yan Shikai, I just want to ask you, what's wrong with wanting to live? We've held on until now, we've reached our limit. We're human too. You're right, we're soldiers, but aren't soldiers human?"

"It's the end of the world now. Apart from anything else, there were still hundreds of people alive in the base before. After Wang Boshen and his men left, there were still nearly 200 people. But how many are left now? How many people are still alive in the entire country? You still want to blow yourself up and kill the survivors? I think you're crazy. You just want to drag everyone down with you! Bah!"

After crying, Dong Shanjia suddenly got up from the ground. He ignored the strange looks from others, stood in front of Major Yan, pointed at him and cursed him harshly.

"Even if what you said is true, I'm a soldier. No matter what you think, I only know the order I received, which is to close the base and not let a single bullet or gun out. For this order, I'm willing to die!"

In response to Dong Shanjia's accusation, Major Yan just glanced at the blushing Dong Shanjia with contempt, adjusted his collar with both hands, began to check his clothes, and put on his general's cap properly.

At this moment, although Yan Shikai's military uniform was dirty because it had not been washed for several months, it did make his figure look particularly tall and mighty, and his eyes were particularly firm.

Following his actions, Xiong Zhuang, as his staunch supporter, also began to check his clothes, and then stood upright beside Yan Shikai, determined to accompany the major to death.

Following the lead of the two, one after another people began to tidy up their clothes with serious expressions, some put on hats, some buttoned their uniforms. For a moment, the atmosphere in the monitoring room was particularly solemn and dignified.

……

Seeing these scenes, Dong Shangjia looked at his comrades with despair on his face, tidying up their clothes. His heart turned cold, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his eyes becoming blank.

At this moment, Yan Shikai looked at him with his eyes piercing, and whispered, "Xiao Dong, no matter what, this is the decision of all of us. Give me the key!"

Dong Shanjia looked at Yan Shikai with confused eyes. They stared at each other for a long time before his face darkened and he weakly said a series of numbers: "KZ123097834EPR2396..."

"This is the base's self-destruct key. It is powerful enough to turn the entire base and this mountainous area into ashes... wuwuwu..." After saying this, Dong Shangjia held his head in his hands and cried silently, crying so sadly.

Yan Shikai wrote down the self-destruct key on a piece of paper with a serious expression, then quickly walked to the control console. A dozen neatly dressed male and female soldiers stood in a row behind him, looking at his back with different expressions.

As Yan Shikai operated, a small bright red console slowly rose from a hidden place.

Yan Shikai looked quietly at the small keyboard in front of him, turned around and looked at the young soldiers behind him for the last time, took a deep breath, turned around resolutely and began to quickly enter the key written on the white paper on the keyboard.

As Yan Shikai's fingers hit the confirm button hard, rows of red light sources kept flashing on the console, as if reminding someone of some information!

Soon, the small console sank, and a cylindrical bright red button with a plastic cover rose from the bottom. Yan Shikai let out a long breath, opened the cover, and placed his right thumb on the button.

"boom!"

Before he could press down, his right hand was suddenly hit from behind. Then, two people clamped Yan Shikai's arms from behind, and Xiong Zhuang, who was standing next to him, was also controlled.

Yan Shikai turned his head with difficulty, staring at the soldier who had restrained him in disbelief, and roared, "Why...why?"

"I'm sorry, Commander. Captain Dong is right. The country no longer exists, so the army has no need to exist. We have held on until now, but we are no longer soldiers, but survivors. We just want to live!"

Before the two soldiers beside him could speak, a cold voice came from behind Yan Shikai. He recognized the owner of the voice. It was a young second lieutenant in the base, a graduate of the military academy, and a rising star in the army.

Once upon a time, Yan Shikai admired this second lieutenant named Zheng Xiansen very much. He thought that Zheng Xiansen was decisive in doing things, could remain calm and not impulsive when encountering problems, and was a natural soldier.

But today, Zheng Xiansen's sudden backstab made Yan Shikai's suicide attempt a complete failure!

As Yan Shikai and Xiong Zhuang were locked up in the utility room, Zheng Xiansen walked up to the bewildered Dong Shanjia and saluted. "Comrade Captain, from now on, we will follow your instructions. I hope you can keep us alive."
