Doomsday Officers Operation Team-Chapter 52: Joy on the Battlefield
Chapter 52 - 52: Joy on the Battlefield
Fry's attitude towards the rescue team has subtly changed since they arrived at the safe city. Everyone thought that Fry was ungrateful, but they didn't expect that Fry was just not good at expressing himself. He and Marty were equally grateful to the rescue team for risking their lives to save them, but Marty was more important to him, so when they arrived at the safe city, Fry had to confirm whether this place was suitable for them, and then he would feel joy and gratitude for the rest of his life.
Fry, who believes in God, made these crosses overnight over the past two days in the hope that God can protect the rescue team. Because of this disaster, he and Marty have devout faith in God, and they also believe that God will bring guiding light to the rescue team.
Suwan and Angela looked at the cross in their hands, and even the words of thanks were choked in their throats.
To be precise, if the dark changes had not spread throughout the world, Suwan and Angela would have been just students who had not yet graduated from Belster. Even if there would be dangerous missions that would require them in the future, nothing would be more dangerous than a swarm of zombies. The despair of facing a dead city could not be expressed in words, and saving people touched them more than killing people. Although the original intention of carrying out the rescue mission was not to gain gratitude or rewards from others, Suwan and Angela's mood at this time was a bit complicated.
They were just carrying out the mission without any emotion. If the mission failed, they would be unwilling and upset, that's all. But at this moment, they understood the meaning of life.
Everyone has only one life, and no one has a chance to start over.
There are fewer and fewer living lives on this earth, and being alive is already everyone's greatest luxury.
Marty and Fry are alive because of the rescue team, so they are grateful to the rescue team.
They are not God, nor are they the creators of this disaster, but they can do their best to save them.
Rescue Team. Suwan and Angela only then fully understood the meaning of the team code name. It was not meaningless for them to try their best to save the survivors.
Marty and Fry live very well here. They like the life here very much. It is peaceful and rare. Marty has stayed in that closed house for too long. It has been a long time since she has enjoyed the days of basking in the warm sunshine. Just basking in the sunshine makes her feel very happy. Fry has always been where she can find him. This disaster makes them cherish each other more. Love may not be the only important thing in the end times, but it is what people cherish more.
However, the rescue team are people without faith. If they must be told what they believe in, then they believe in Belster and the school motto of snake and tiger. They would rather believe in themselves who can blow up the zombie's head with one shot than believe in a God who has never performed any miracles and allows the zombies to be reborn. They accept these crosses out of gratitude and politeness, but none of them will wear such trivial things. Instead of wearing the cross, they would rather equip an extra magazine, so Marty and Fry's good intentions are doomed to fail.
Seeing that Fry and Marty had adapted to life here, Angela and Suwan felt relieved. When leaving, Suwan and Angela took the cross and discussed about going back to give it to other people. After just a short separation, Angela missed Parker so much, or maybe she was stimulated by the annoying Suwan and Zoe, and she resolutely left the team to find her Parker.
Zoe held the cross that belonged to Suwan in her hand and looked at it back and forth. Fry had polished the cross very carefully and it was very smooth. Although it was newly made, there were no barbs to scratch your fingers. Suwan saw that she liked it very much and said to her, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"But this is a gift from them to you," Zoe said awkwardly even though she liked it very much.
Suwan shrugged, "But I don't believe in this. I can't possibly wear it, and I don't have anywhere to put it. The thing is mine, and if you like it, I'll give it to you. I still have this right."
Zoe mumbled: "But I don't believe in this either, but if believing in God really works, I'm willing to start believing devoutly now..." Then her voice became even quieter: "This is the first time you've given me something." So I really want it. It's only been two days since they confirmed their relationship, and Suwan certainly couldn't think of anything to give Zoe, but after hearing Zoe say this, he still felt that it was his negligence. He wanted to help Zoe put it on himself, but there was no chain on the cross, so he had to go back and think about it. Seeing Suwan frowning in distress, Zoe thought she looked very cute. She was not disappointed that she couldn't wear the cross for the time being, and she approached Suwan and gave her a light kiss.
This was on the street, and Suwan's face turned red.
When they met Mike, the leader of their rescue team on the way, Suwan tricked him into distributing crosses and pushed the cross into Mike's hand. Before Mike could react, Suwan and Zoe ran away hand in hand. After they ran far away, they stopped and pointed at each other, laughing and saying that the other was childish, just two children who had succeeded in a prank.
An old lady lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun on the roadside lawn raised her glasses, squinted her eyes and looked up and down at Suwan's iconic student pants, then stood up a little excitedly and almost trotted to Suwan. You couldn't tell at all that she was already an old lady in her sixties or seventies. She trotted to Suwan, a little out of breath, but still excitedly held Suwan's hand tightly and shook it up and down, and the wrinkles on her face became active because of being too excited.
Suwan and Zoe looked at each other, both of them were surprised.
"You are from the rescue team, right? I was rescued by you," the old woman held Suwan's hand, her eyes red with emotion, "You are very good, you saved my life, do you want to eat? I made some salad, do you like it?" She said and enthusiastically took Suwan to her house to enjoy the delicious salad she made. Suwan was a little scared. She was not very good at close contact with others, but Zoe was an exception.
"I've eaten, I've eaten," Suwan quickly pulled the old woman and said, "I'm full."
The lovely old lady sighed regretfully, and then became happy again: "I still have carrots in my kitchen. I grew them myself and brought them back from home. They flew such a long distance with me. You must try them."
"Ah... you brought your own carrots with you?" Suwan thought he had misheard. The situation must have been very dangerous, and this old lady actually wanted to bring her own carrots on the plane?
"I worked so hard to grow these plants, I can't let those monsters destroy them," the old woman said seriously. Well, she was still a stubborn old lady.
Suwan couldn't refuse, and he and Zoe watched from outside as the old woman happily ran back home to get the radish, and he and Zoe sighed, "What a great attitude."
Suwan couldn't understand why someone would still care about the carrots she planted in this chaotic world full of zombies. She thought the rescue team that brought this lovely old lady back must be very depressed. She might not want to follow the rescue team if the old lady was not allowed to take the carrots. But compared to herself, Suwan felt that life was more important than anything else. She couldn't be like this old lady, who knew what the outside world was like, but still felt happy for her few carrots.
Zoe nodded in agreement, glanced at Suwan, and chuckled: "Will we be like this when we get old?"
'us'.
It was such a beautiful word and Suwan smiled as well.
Zoe and Suwan stood outside for less than two minutes before the old woman trotted out with her eyes narrowed and a smile on her face. She held a handful of carrots in her arms. It looked like a lot. Suwan and Zoe were too embarrassed to take them. In this world where supplies are scarce, even carrots are hard to come by. However, the old woman insisted on letting them take them, and said with a smile, "It's okay. I can grow them here, and I'll grow some other things too. Come back when they're ripe."
Suwan and Zoe would not stay in this city for long, as they would soon leave for a mission. But after hearing what the old woman said, in order not to disappoint her, Suwan and Zoe nodded sincerely.
A young man in his twenties ran out of the house. Seeing that the old woman gave all the carrots to Suwan and Zoe, he shouted angrily: "Grandma, how could you do this!"
Suwan didn't want it at first, because it was too embarrassing to argue over a few carrots, but the old woman was very persistent: "They saved my life!"
"They should have saved your life!" The young man was not grateful at all. He glared at Suwan and Zoe angrily, pointing at them and accusing them: "We were living a good life. If it weren't for the government causing these things, we wouldn't need them!"
His hateful gaze made Suwan feel ashamed. In fact, Suwan was about the same age as him, but now she became his outlet. Suwan just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She could feel that the gazes of the people around her made her more and more uncomfortable. Suwan's smile froze. Zoe reached out to stop the enthusiastic old woman and said to her, "We are staying in the hotel. There are better places there. You can keep these for yourself."
"Did you hear that? They have something better!" The young man became even more arrogant. Zoe glared at him angrily, took Suwan's arm and turned to leave. The young man behind her shouted provocatively: "Grandma, look at them, they are two lesbians, so disgusting!" Although most countries in the world have legalized homosexuality, it does not mean that everyone can accept it. I don't know if this young man has always been anti-gay, but his inappropriate words now angered Zoe.
Zoe pushed Suwan aside and rushed towards the young man like an angry lioness, her momentum scared the young man so much that he took several steps back.
"Am I disgusting? Are zombies disgusting?!" Zoe stood in front of him with her eyes wide open, pointing at Suwan and yelling at him, "If they hadn't gone to the town where the zombie outbreak occurred to save you, what would you have become? A zombie! You would be ten thousand times more disgusting than me! I tell you, I love her very much, and she loves me too. Is love disgusting? Not at all. Two people loving each other is the most beautiful thing in the world. What qualifications do you have to judge us?"
"But if it weren't for the government, if it weren't for them, we would still be living a peaceful life!" The young people retorted guiltily, at least they didn't comment on their love anymore.

"Everyone is a victim. At least you can continue to live here, but they have to continue to go to those dangerous cities to rescue people. You know how dangerous that is!"
"They, they deserve it!" The young man shouted frantically, "They got something better, so they should save us, even if they have to die because of us!"
Yes, that's what most people think.
So even if those people were rescued by the rescue team, they were not grateful and even hated them.
Zoe looked at him and suddenly felt that it was ridiculous for her to argue with him. She should calm down.
So Zoe shut up and raised her hand to slap him.
