I tossed the clump away, then took the grenade with its pin already pulled from the soldier and threw it down over
the wall.
"Boom!"
The explosion came from below. The soldier in front of me stared at me in a daze, as if he couldn't believe he was still
alive.
"All right, you're fine. Get back to your unit!"
I tossed him onto the wall. The moment he came to, he shot me a grateful look, quickly stood up, saluted me, then turned and ran
back to his unit.
What caught my attention wasn't his grateful look, but his willingness to face death.
Since the apocalypse began, I had seen far too much death and far too many plots and schemes. The choices some people made when faced with life or death
couldn't help but chill me to the bone.
But these soldiers, faced with the threat of the exploding flying insects, pulled their pins without hesitation and jumped down with the bugs,
willing to perish together
just to defend this wall.
Heh... You had to admit, humans were the most complicated creatures in the world.
Especially us Chinese. Over trivial matters, we often argued over the smallest things, but
when it came to major matters, most people had a very sound set of values.
Liao Yingwei wasn't without a good heart. It was just that years spent among the upper echelons had stained him with a color that didn't belong to him.
He was simply used to judging others through schemes and stratagems because that was the kind of people he dealt with.
These soldiers, on the other hand, mostly faced life-or-death decisions, not plots and schemes. So their choices were more
straightforward, simple, and steadfast!
That made me feel a little more hopeful about the human race.
