The waste of the apocalypse
Chapter 41 Rain
There were buckets and basins lined up outside the corridor, most of which were already filled with rainwater. When Rou Ta Chen walked out, he was not careful and almost kicked him. There was basically no one in the rain. When he was going down to the second floor, he met a man who was shivering in several clothes and walking up. He was probably carrying something to catch the rainwater. When he saw that he was so thickly dressed, his eyes were filled with tears. There was a light of envy and jealousy.
"Who knows if people will die if it rains? You ask us to fight zombies now, okay, as long as you dare, we dare too. If you don't dare, stop talking nonsense and distribute food quickly. We got these things in the first place. , why don't you give it to us?" There was a noise from the place where the food was received. Routa Chen closed his umbrella, being careful not to touch the rainwater, then he held the umbrella upside down and walked in with water stains all the way.
"This was a decision made by several team leaders yesterday. What's the use of asking us? If the team leader doesn't say anything, who dares to touch these things? If you can, go to the team leader to make trouble!" There were five or six people crowded in the dark corridor. Two people with supernatural powers blocked the door of the room where the food was stored, and another person stood in the middle and said to the people outside.
"Damn it, I think you just want to keep it all to yourself..." The person who made the loudest noise was also a person with superpowers, so he wouldn't swallow his anger like ordinary people.
"Forget it, he's right, let's go find the team leader, why bother talking nonsense with them." The man's companion persuaded him, and then they discussed it and walked upstairs decisively.
After the others left, Routa Chen went over and said with a smile: "Brother, you see it's raining today, so you can't fight zombies, but you have to eat, right?"
"Go, go, you know how to eat. Eat? You don't have ears, do you? Let you go to the team leader, go to the team leader!" The person who spoke before waved his hand impatiently, as if to shoo away flies. After saying that, before Routa Chen could speak again, he turned around and entered the house with the other two people, and then closed the door with a bang.
"Bah!" Routa Chen put away the smile on his face, spat at the door, and then slowly climbed upstairs. As soon as I got to the second floor, I saw several people from before walking down with Qiao Yong, a man with a mustache wrapped in a down jacket, and hurriedly said hello. "Boss Qiao!"
He was already big, but now he was wearing a cotton coat and a raincoat, with an umbrella in his hand, and he immediately blocked the entire corridor. When Qiao Yong saw him, his eyebrows moved. He obviously remembered Nan Shao's words yesterday. He felt an indescribable feeling, but his expression softened a lot.
"It's okay, don't run into the rain, otherwise you won't know how you will die." His words didn't sound good, but Routa Chen was not a person who couldn't tell good from evil. Knowing that he was reminding himself, he hurriedly agreed, and at the same time I also know that the Super Six does not approve of killing zombies in the rain.
With Qiao Yong coming forward, the food was quickly distributed. This time it was no longer flour, but two packages of biscuits, that is, half a package for each person. There were four of them, so of course two packages. At the same time, I was notified that since I don't have to go out to kill zombies, I will only distribute food twice a day, and the quantity will be reduced by half, with only half a bottle of water. Qiao Yong didn't say much about this and obviously agreed. After all, because of the rain, the attack on another community could only be delayed. The longer it was delayed, the more food and water they consumed. There was really no other way but to save more and more.
After everyone else had left, Routa Chen stopped Qiao Yong, who was also walking upstairs with the same amount of food as them: "Boss Qiao, is there something wrong with the rain?"
"I don't know." Qiao Yong shook his head. , just took a step, then stopped, "Where do you live?"
"No. 14, fifth floor, fourth door."
Qiao Yong nodded and went upstairs. Routa Chen was stunned for a moment, without thinking much, turned around, opened his umbrella, and walked into the rain. When they returned to their place of residence, Zhang Yi and the others were frying flour.
Yes, it is dry fried flour. As for whether the pot is clean or not, no one will care anymore. For their current situation, let alone washing the pot with water, they are reluctant to waste the evaporated water vapor used to knead the dough and bake the pancakes. So you can only fry the flour and then eat it with water. They didn't touch the biscuits that Rou Ta Chen brought back. No one knew what would happen in the future. Just leave as much food as you could.
"It would be great if this water was drinkable." Lying on the window sill, Routa Chen looked out the hazy window and sighed.
They moved the sofa in the other living room to the small hall where the stove was lit. Li Muran occupied one, took out the quilt and lay down on it to sleep. Even though it was already noon, it was still dark outside, making people unable to do anything else. Of course, the most important thing is that the less activity you have, the less energy you consume and you can save some food. Hearing Routa Chen's words, she muttered: "It would be nice if I could take a shower and wash clothes." God knows how long it had been since she had taken a shower. Not to mention taking a shower, even washing your face is a luxury. As for whether it stinks or not, she can't feel it at all now. It's the same for everyone anyway.
"Maybe this water can be used." Nan Shao, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, suddenly said. With this sentence, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on him, and Li Muran even sat up from the bed. Only Zhang Ruiyang was completely undisturbed, flipping from one sofa to another and having fun by himself.
"Why?" Zhang Yi asked casually while applying a hot dry towel to his injured leg.
"It's raining, and the water vapor in the air is very heavy, so we're fine." Nan Shao said with a smile. "I don't dare to say that rainwater is completely fine, but the danger of distilled water should be greatly reduced." The reason why he said this was because Rou Ta Chen went out for a trip and was still alive and kicking when he came back. He looked completely fine. affected.
Hearing this, several people's eyes couldn't help but light up. While hope was ignited in their hearts, they also sensed another kind of danger. If rainwater is harmful to the human body, no one can escape it even if they don't touch it. The moisture in the air will contaminate the exposed skin and even enter the lungs through breathing. No matter how you prevent it, you cannot prevent it.
"Then give it a try." Zhang Yi smiled and said, not as cautious as before. In his opinion, if even the moisture in the air can mutate people, then even waiting a few more days will be of no use. Maybe they can wrap their whole body, head and face, but they have to breathe. In fact they don't have much choice now, either distilled water is available or they die.
Maybe they figured out what the heavy rain meant to them like him, or maybe they were really fed up with the days without water. As soon as he finished speaking, several people took action, including Nan Shao. Because no one could determine the root cause of people mutating into zombies, they were a little more careful. They would rather go to the trouble than simply boil the water and try it out.
The kettle for boiling water is filled with water and placed on the stove. One end of the water pipe for the washing machine is put on the spout and tied firmly, and the other end is facing the basin. The twisted part is soaked in cold water.
The four of them sat in four directions, looking at the still water, feeling a little excited and a little worried. They knew exactly what this trial meant to them. Even Zhang Ruiyang was affected by the tense atmosphere and honestly climbed onto Zhang Yi's lap and sat down.
The fire is burning brightly, and it only takes more than twenty minutes, or less, to boil a large pot of water. But for a few people, it seemed like hours. When the other end of the white water pipe started dripping water into the basin, Routa Chen had already squatted by the basin, muttering in his mouth, looking like he wanted to stick his head into the pipe.
Nan Shao let out a sigh of relief and stood up from the sofa. It seemed that he no longer cared whether the water could be used, because the answer was already there and would not change due to human will.
"I'm going to wash my face." He said, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yi's face for a while, but before Zhang Yi raised his head, he hurried to the bathroom, picked up another basin and came back to pour all the distilled water in. .
"Nan Shao?" Zhang Yi was stunned, subconsciously leaning forward and grabbing Nan Shao's hand to stop him.
"Brother Shao?" Routa Chen didn't react until he was squeezed away, but after shouting these two words, he didn't know what to say.
Even Li Muran stood up. Obviously none of them expected that Nan Shao would be the first to try the water. Zhang Ruiyang looked at this and that in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
The moment his hand was grabbed by Zhang Yi, Nan Shao suddenly felt a heat in his heart, as if something was injected into it. He put down the basin in his hand, stretched out his hand to cover the back of Zhang Yi's hand, felt the warmth from it, paused for a moment, then slowly pushed it away, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, you actually know that we have no choice at all. I just don't have the patience to wait." After saying that, he picked up the basin and walked into the bathroom.
The corners of Zhang Yi's lips tightened unconsciously, and his eyes followed the slender and majestic figure. He turned around after a moment. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he bent down and scooped up water from the bucket, leaving only half a bottle of water. Filled. Li Muran sat back down, as quiet as before, while Routa Chen, contrary to his previous noisiness, was so silent that it finally made people feel that this person was not really so heartless.
Nan Shao washed his face and hands thoroughly in the bathroom, shaved his face, and wiped his body twice. Unfortunately, there was not much water, otherwise he would have wanted to take a quick bath. When he came out, his face was so radiant that everyone's eyes lit up. Zhang Ruiyang jumped off his father's knees, ran over, climbed on top of him, and kissed his smooth face twice. .
"Uncle Pumpkin, you are so handsome!" I have to say that children are much more direct than adults.
Nan Shao's eyebrows couldn't help but open up, with a deep smile on his face, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards Zhang Yi, not wanting to meet his smiling eyes. After being stunned for a moment, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. He walked over and sat next to Zhang Yi. Perhaps his expression was so natural that no one felt anything was wrong.
"Brother Shao, your face is really, tsk, a disaster for the country and the people." Routa Chen finally recovered from his previous low mood and joked. However, even he felt that this joke was a dry one and had no quality at all.
"Thank you for the compliment! My childhood friend said the same thing." Rarely, Nan Shao responded to the joke with dignity this time.
Routa Chen blinked in surprise, and it took him a moment to react. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Brother Shao, don't talk to me so politely. I'm really not used to it." It was still uncomfortable.
Nan Shao shook his head and laughed, suddenly feeling that this fat man was actually quite cute.
Chapter 42 Past
One hour, two hours, three hours...
the atmosphere seemed a bit tense. Zhang Ruiyang found that no one was paying attention to him, not even Fat Uncle, so he ran to dig out the Five Animals Play that he had secretly stuffed into Zhang Yi's backpack before leaving, and started playing by himself.
No one knows what will happen if they come into contact with contaminated water, at least the people in Wangyang Town don't know. Ever since people mutated into zombies after drinking river water, people have regarded unpurified water as a scourge, even if they directly touch it. I don't dare, and how can I know if it will really mutate if I touch it, and how long it will take for it to mutate.
Waiting without time limit is the most painful.
This was the second time Nan Shao faced the threat of death, but the two times felt completely different. For the first time, he watched his friends and Nan Wei leave. His whole person was shrouded in despair and sadness, and he had the idea of ââââgiving up on himself. He clearly felt the changes in his body, but he didn't even bother to raise his hand to commit suicide. I feel like I just turned into a zombie. But this time, he was not waiting alone. There were four people around him, an ignorant child, and three friends who had only known each other for about half a month.
Only half a month.
"Brother Yi, I'm a little nervous." He suddenly spoke, half-jokingly, to Zhang Yi, who was silently applying a hot towel to his leg. In fact, as shown on his face, he really didn't care that much. He just wanted to know how Zhang Yi would react on a whim.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi turned to look at him, then reached out and patted his shoulder. He shook his hand without any hesitation, but without saying any words of comfort, he turned around and bent down to put down the cold towel. Go to the stove to bake it, pick up another piece that is hot and continue to apply it. There was no guilt or pity, nor was there any disgust or fear that could not be avoided. His attitude was exactly the same as usual.
Nan Shao didn't know whether to be happy or sigh, but Rou Ta Chen across from him answered: "Brother Shao, don't panic. Whether it's life or death, we will all be together this time."
Nan Shao glared displeased . When he glanced at him, Routa Chen touched his nose inexplicably, laughed dryly twice, and stopped talking.
"Xiao Chen is right." Zhang Yi said without raising his head. "If God doesn't give us a way to survive, none of us will be able to escape this time." As he spoke, he dressed his legs, straightened his waist, and looked at his son who was learning the tiger trick. For a moment, he felt that there was something indescribable about that action. It was strange and agile, but when I looked carefully again, this feeling disappeared again. He shook his head and leaned back on the sofa.
Li Muran retreated into bed again and did not join in the conversation.
The light was still not good. Nan Shao looked at Zhang Yi's soft profile profile, but suddenly thought of Nan Wei. He didn't know why he thought of Nan Wei when he looked at Zhang Yi, but he found that he hadn't thought of that brother for a long time. That kind of obsession, those sacrifices without regrets, that kind of courage that never retreated even if it was ridiculed and disgusted, now it feels like a dream. He will not say that those feelings are all based on his imagination and never existed. However, no matter how deep the relationship is, it cannot withstand squandering. After all the squandering, there is nothing left, not even unforgettable things. Maybe, he thought, if Nan Wei showed even a little bit of worry after learning that he had been bitten by a zombie, or in other words, even if he wasn't worried, he didn't show the kind of relieved expression that he could finally get rid of him. , maybe he won't wake up yet.
"What's wrong?" Finding that he had been staring at him, Zhang Yi retracted his gaze and asked in surprise.
"No, I just thought of my younger brother." Nan Shao smiled mockingly and opened his eyes.
"Your brother?" Zhang Yi was stunned. This was the first time he heard Nan Shao mention his family. He originally wanted to ask where his brother was, but stopped in time. After entering the apocalypse, asking about each other's relatives seems to have become a taboo.
Sensing his reaction, Nan Shao laughed: "There's nothing I can't ask. He's still alive and well... At least, he was still well when I was bitten." As for what happened next, he no longer wanted to care about it. .
"If you want to find him..." Zhang Yi thought that Nan Shao was missing him, so after thinking deeply, he planned to say that if they could escape safely from here, they might be able to help him find his brother. But he didn't want to be interrupted by Nan Shao.
"I don't want to." Nan Shao said flatly. "He is my father's illegitimate son and hates me. I used to... used to like him very much. But it doesn't matter now. He may not be happy to see me, so just let him be."
Hearing this, everyone present It can be guessed that something must have happened between Nan Shao and his brother, which eventually turned the two against each other. This kind of thing is purely personal privacy, so no one continued to ask.
"My father and my mother divorced when I was in elementary school. My father didn't want me, so I followed my mother. In fact, my mother didn't want me either, because it would be difficult for her to remarry with me." After a moment of silence, Li Muran suddenly spoke. The few people had lived together for more than half a month and never talked about their past with each other, but when Nan Shao started talking, others immediately had the desire to talk. In other words, no one knows how long they can survive if it rains, and the barriers in their hearts are unknowingly removed in the face of death.
"Later she found a man who was nearly ten years younger than her. She loved that man very much. Not only did she give him three children, she also tolerated him looking for women outside. She even pretended to know that he had disgusting thoughts about me. I don't know." She couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the lewd glances she had noticed through the cracks of the door or other places when she was taking a bath, and the banging of the door on the pretext of coming in to get something. The quilt was wrapped tighter. Even though time has passed, thinking back on some things still feels like swallowing a fly.
"Damn it, if I ever meet that bastard, I'll beat him until his mother doesn't even recognize him." Routa Chen couldn't help but curse. It can be said that Li Muran basically healed his legs. Out of gratitude, he almost treated Li Muran as his own sister, so when he heard this kind of thing, his reaction was more intense than others.
"I lived on campus when I was in high school, but it wasn't until I entered college that I found the opportunity to completely leave that home." The distilled water fell into the basin, and the heavy rain outside knocked on the window. Li Muran's heart was unexpectedly calm at this moment, It was as if those resentments and grievances slowly disappeared into the rotten air with the words. "When the apocalypse happened, I was at school. I called my mother, and she told me that she and her husband were going to pick up three younger siblings, and then they were going to leave the city and go back to the man's old house in the country. She didn't even wait for me to speak, and just told me She told me to be careful and hung up the phone. I never understood why my mother was different from other people's mothers. Only then did I realize that she just treated me differently." At this point, she spat out heavily. He took one breath, as if he wanted to let out all the suffocation in his heart, and then chuckled and said the last words: "Just like Brother Shao said, it doesn't matter anymore."
In the face of death, many people couldn't understand what they thought before. Things that don't make sense will suddenly become very simple.
"It seems like it's better for me. I have no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters. I am carefree and carefree. How carefree I am." Routa Chen has always been worried about not knowing who his parents are, but now he heard their words Finally, I suddenly felt that this was actually pretty good. At least he can still retain the power of fantasy, instead of letting reality polish away the beautiful yearning for family love in his heart.
All three people had spoken, and only Zhang Yi was silent. After waiting for a long time, before he could speak, the first person who couldn't help it was Rou Ta Chen.
"Brother Yi used to be the captain of the city's criminal police brigade. We got to know him when he was a small-time police officer. The relationship between us two brothers can be said to be as high as the mountains and as deep as the sea..."
Nan Shao snorted, " There's so much nonsense."
Routa Chen chuckled, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly guessed that Nan Shao was jealous of his relationship with Zhang Yi, so he always didn't look good to him. He was proud of it, but he didn't have the guts to point it out.
"I've been in prison, and the apocalypse happened right after I got out." Zhang Yi felt that there was nothing to say about his experience, or that there were some things that he couldn't touch even now, such as his mother's death. As for other things, he had long since ignored them. Instead of being relieved now, he naturally felt that there was no need to say anything.
"Tell me about my sister-in-law." Seeing that he seemed to be silent again, Nan Shao hurriedly said, and then added coquettishly: "I really want to know what kind of woman can give birth to such a well-behaved child as Yangyang, and then want to marry a wife in the future. It can be used as a reference." He also knew that this request was unexpected, and he was even mentally prepared to be rejected, but he still couldn't help wanting to understand Zhang Yi's emotional world.
"Hey, marry that kind of woman? Brother Shao, I think you might as well just marry Brother Yi!" Routa Chen interjected disapprovingly.
It was obviously a casual joke, but Nan Shao's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and the corner of his eye unconsciously fell on Zhang Yi.
"Xiao Chen!" Zhang Yi scolded, with a strong warning in his voice.
"Okay, look at my bad mouth." Routa Chen raised his hand and slapped his mouth gently twice, and said with a smile: "Why don't I stop talking, Brother Yi."
Of course Zhang Yi didn't He would be angry with Rou Ta Chen for such a thing. After all, the other party had no ill intentions. To prevent that mouth from spitting out unpleasant words again, he decided that it would be better to say it himself.
"She and I met on a blind date. I work as a criminal police officer. I have a busy work schedule and irregular hours, and there is a lot of danger. This kind of danger sometimes even affects my family. We have been married for three years since we met. I can count the number of weekends I spent with her on my ten fingers. She never complained. She said she was proud that her husband was a detective." At this point, Zhang Yi chuckled. The voice was slow and calm, without the slightest hint of anger or resentment: "Maybe she is a woman full of heroic plots in her heart. Unfortunately, reality is reality. When she knew that I would go to jail for committing a crime, even if she knew that I was wronged, she still I chose to divorce immediately. Everyone has the right to choose the life they want. I don't blame him, I just feel a little regretful..." When he said the word regret, his eyes fell on Zhang Ruiyang who was playing in the open space. He regretted that his son had never experienced maternal love since he was a child.
"Do you still like her?" If Nan Shao was still a little jealous of that woman before, now he was completely disdainful of her. How could such a woman be worthy of Zhang Yi?
Zhang Yi shook his head, smiled, and said nothing. If he hadn't been asked, he wouldn't have even bothered to mention it. He and her had nothing to do with each other as early as when he signed the divorce agreement and she left Yangyang, who had only been two or three months old, without any regret. .
Chapter 43 Heavy Rain
"The water is almost full, hurry up...change the basin!" Routa Chen jumped up and rushed to the bathroom. After a while, he came back with a basin. Zhang Yi was about to lean over and open the basin filled with distilled water. Nan Shao held his shoulders, then stood up and did it himself. At the same time, he opened the lid of the pot and filled it with water.
From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, there was silence at first, and then chatting. I don't know when the originally difficult time started to slip away. The rain was still falling and the sky was getting darker, but Nan Shao didn't feel any strange reaction in his body. If you are scratched or bitten by a zombie, the wound will begin to itch and numb within two hours. At the same time, the whole body will be high in temperature and drowsy. After drinking unpurified water, zombies will be alienated almost immediately. Why is there such a difference? Nan Shao doesn't know, but it has been about five or six years since he washed his face and hands with distilled water. When he was young, he still didn't feel anything, maybe...
Shaking his head, he put aside any chance of luck, watched Meat Ta Chen bring a basin of water to the wall, and said, "I'll go see which store has a big bucket." "Because the weather is cold and the coal fire is always burning, in order to avoid waste, water can be distilled continuously, but the water storage container cannot always be used in a basin, and that thing cannot hold much at all. You can't use a bucket to catch rainwater. After the bucket catches the rainwater, it will continue to catch the rainwater, so you can only find another container.
"I'm with you." Zhang Yi also stood up. He might have guessed that Nan Shao was looking for excuses to leave everyone because he was afraid that he would mutate.
Nan Shao looked at him, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"I'm going to get food too." After putting the basin down, Routa Chen stood up straight and clapped his hands and said. "Sister Muran, I'll leave this to you."
Li Muran stretched out her hand from under the quilt and waved at him, indicating that she knew. Zhang Ruiyang, who was playing there by himself, looked over here, thought for a moment, climbed onto the sofa, turned somersaults, and lay there panting. He has developed the habit of staying at home when Zhang Yi goes out. Unless Zhang Yi takes the initiative to take him to play outside, he rarely asks for it.
"Xiao Chen, don't go. You have to go out anyway. Let's go and get the food back." Zhang Yi said to Routa Chen. There was no reason to keep one person running back and forth in such a heavy rain, especially after listening to Nan Shao's analysis.
"But Brother Yi, you only have one raincoat. That umbrella can't stop the rain at all." Routa Chen said disapprovingly. "It's not like everyone in this building is full, there's no way there isn't even a bucket, right? You don't need to go out at all."
"Don't worry about it, help me keep an eye on Yangyang." Zhang Yi said as he walked out.
Nan Shao was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in another hall, and then he took out a flashlight and two batteries. He installed the batteries, tried it, and took a few shots. Unexpectedly, the flashlight really turned on. Hearing Zhang Yi's footsteps, he turned back and said with a smile: "It's much more convenient with this."
The two of them took their raincoats and umbrellas and went out, but they did not go directly down, but as Routa Chen said, First, we searched a few unoccupied houses in this unit, and found that the inside had been turned into a mess, and nothing with wood was left. Even the bed with wooden frame had been dismantled, but gas tanks and other things were still there. There.
I had expected that this might happen, but it was still shocking to see it with my own eyes. Nan Shao couldn't help but feel lucky again that they had listened to Zhang Yi's words yesterday, otherwise they would have fought over a piece of bed board.
The two of them searched all the empty rooms they could find. They saw a lot of small pots and pots, but they couldn't find a suitable bucket. Fortunately, they found a raincoat that had been missed behind the door of a house. Otherwise, they would have to find another way to block it. rain.
"Put these on." When he was about to leave the corridor, Nan Shao suddenly took out two pairs of plastic gloves from his bag. They looked like they were usually used for washing dishes and laundry.
Zhang Yi took a pair, put them on and asked with a smile: "When did you get it? Why didn't I see it?"
"I saw it in the kitchen, so I took it." Nan Shao put down his umbrella, put on his raincoat, He also put on his gloves. "I guess no one has thought of it yet." Otherwise, they wouldn't have a share.
He tightened his trouser legs and opened the corridor door, and the heavy rain blew in instantly. Nan Shao hurriedly blocked it with an umbrella, and the two of them walked out one after another. They first went to get food, some scattered peanuts, dried dates, mung beans and cloud beans. One bowl per person, Yangyang definitely didn't have a portion, so he filled half of it with the supermarket plastic bag he found in the house when he came out. You can only get half a bottle of water a day. If you get it in the morning, you won't get it in the afternoon. Someone was quarreling with the person who handed out the food, saying that it was impossible to eat beans or something without water. Zhang and Yi didn't stop much, tightened the plastic bag, and turned around to go into the rain.
The two big men were holding an umbrella, which was a bit crowded. Nan Shao was a little taller and held an umbrella. In order to prevent the rain from splashing on his head and face, he almost hugged Zhang Yi in his arms, and Zhang Yi put the food he received on his chest with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to hold his waist. If it were before the end of the world, Zhang Yi would definitely rather get caught in the rain than share an umbrella with someone like this, but now in order to reduce any possible danger, let alone being so close to someone of the same sex, even if it were a woman, he I will no longer think about whether it is appropriate or not. Preserving life is the most important thing.
The two of them did not go back to the place where they lived. Instead, they supported each other and walked to another building. Since most of the security doors in the corridor were destroyed, they saved a lot of trouble. Zhang Yi released his hand around Nan Shao's waist, bowed his head and ran into the corridor first. The moment he felt his arms were empty, Nan Shao felt a little disappointed in his heart. However, he felt that his reaction was a bit strange, so he quickly put it aside.
"Did you get any water on your face?" He stepped back in, closed his umbrella, and asked.
"No. Are you okay?" Zhang Yi took out the flashlight from his pocket, opened it and took a photo of Nan Shao's face. He felt relieved when he found that his face looked fine.
"It's okay." Nan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to block the light, "Hey, Brother Yi, it's rude to shine a flashlight on someone like this!"
Zhang Yi said nothing and turned off the flashlight, "It's better to look for him again Two umbrellas, and a raincoat if you see them. Who knows how long it will rain?"
The two walked upstairs, searching from house to house. From time to time, one or two zombie corpses can be seen on the ground, or broken and rotten limbs and heads. The corpse crystals have all been dug up, and the two of them did not get any advantage at all. But because of the heavy rain, even if they could collect firewood, briquettes, quilts, clothes and other things from here, there was no way to get them back dry, so apart from the food being plundered, other things were not harmed. The two of them put away the small items they saw that were useful, such as flashlights, candles, batteries, lighters, toilet paper, and plastic gloves. I found a large plastic bucket with a lid, and picked up a large kettle and a soup pot. Together with the three raincoats and four umbrellas I collected, there were quite a few bits and pieces. Fortunately, the bucket was big enough. I put my raincoat, umbrella and other miscellaneous things in it. I also flipped a soup pot upside down and packed it all in properly. The lid was tightly closed. Only the kettle is still outside and can be carried by hand.
When returning, Nan Shao took care of Zhang Yi's legs and carried a large bucket that was not light. Zhang Yi carried an empty kettle and food. The two of them didn't stay outside longer, braving the heavy rain that seemed to never stop and returned. When passing through the aisle between two rows of buildings, Zhang Yi glanced outside. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily and it was dark, so there was no way to see what was going on outside the iron gate.
"Go over and have a look." Nan Shao said after noticing his gaze. Anyway, we have already come out and we don't mind walking an extra mile. Even though I tightened my trouser legs, I was still soaked below the knees. In fact, they all know in their hearts that unless God lets them go this time, there will be no luck.
Deep pools had formed in the low and poorly drained places on the road, and the light was not good. They almost stepped into them several times. Fortunately, the two of them put the things they found in the nearby corridor, so even if they were to collect them separately, While holding an umbrella, you can still hold each other with your free hand. The rain was so dense that I couldn't see clearly what was going on outside until I walked to the earthen platform against the door.
Without speaking, the two communicated with gestures and then quickly turned around. The rain fell quickly, covering up the smell of human bodies and the slight sounds, so the zombies outside didn't even notice.
"There are a lot of zombies scattered outside, but the earthen platform against the gate is about to turn into a puddle of mud." When they returned to their place of residence, there was no need to wait for the results anymore, so Zhang Yi and Nan Shao divided the basin and put it on I washed my head and face with the distilled water next to the wall, took off my soaked pants and shoes and socks, washed my legs and feet, and then put on dry pants and socks. As for shoes, I really don't have any suitable ones, so I can only wear slippers. After sitting on the sofa, he told the two of them about the situation outside. "It seems that the rain washed away the smell of people in the community, and some of the zombies left after losing their targets."
This should be good news for them. But Routa Chen and Li Muran did not show any happy expressions because both Zhang Yi and Nan Shao were exposed to the rain. Now, the only thing they hope for is a positive result, that there will be no problem with the rain. As long as there are no problems, everything will be in their favor.
"If it rains for a few more days, do you think the zombies will be dispersed?" Routa Chen asked in a not-so-high mood.
"If it rains again all night, all the roads will be flooded." Nan Shao wiped his hands and walked out of the bathroom, just in time to hear Rou Ta Chen's words. "If it rains for a few more days, you'll have to use a basin as a boat."
Imagine himself floating in the basin, Routa Chen decisively shut up.
Li Muran took a small stainless steel basin and poured the beans and other grains brought back by Zhang Yi and others into it, and then picked out peanuts and jujubes one by one by candlelight. Zhang Ruiyang moved a small plastic bench and sat next to him to help. So Li Muran stuffed a peanut or a date into his mouth from time to time. Zhang Ruiyang, on the other hand, adhered to the supreme principle that good things should not be eaten alone and fed everyone.
In the evening, several people shared the biscuits they received in the morning, and another person grabbed a handful of peanuts and jujubes, and ate a few when they got too hungry. Unexpectedly, after just a few days of fullness, they were knocked back to their original shape. To this, the other people were okay, but the most uncomfortable thing was probably the meat tower. After all, because of his status as a mutant, he has never been hungry. In addition, he has a large appetite. He has not even eaten half full in the past two days. Even if he wants to drink enough water, it is impossible. He already feels a little weak in his legs. , dizzy, so I lay down on the bed early, hoping to fall asleep as soon as possible with something in my stomach, so as not to be too hungry to fall asleep later.
That night, Zhang Yi entrusted Zhang Ruiyang to Li Muran and did not dare to let his son sleep with him. Zhang Ruiyang is an easy child to take care of. As long as Zhang Yi is here, he doesn't care who he sleeps with. Of course, if Zhang Yi was away, he wouldn't make a fuss, but he would be in a very bad mood and remain silent.
Because his legs hurt so much, he tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. In addition, it was getting colder and colder. Finally, Zhang Yi had to get up, wrapped himself in a quilt and went to the small hall with the stove outside. Only then did he realize that everyone else was there too. , each occupied a sofa, the fire was burning brightly, and white mist was steaming in the air.
"Brother Yi, you're finally out!" Routa Chen, wrapped in a quilt, threw a peanut into his mouth and muttered hello.
Li Muran held Zhang Ruiyang in his arms, and everyone seemed to have fallen asleep.
Zhang Yi hummed and groped his way to the empty sofa and sat down. The pain in his right leg made him unable to say anything. He stretched out his hand and pinched the place where the broken bones overlapped, hoping to relieve the pain a little. However, it had no effect. The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was too much for even his endurance, and his temples throbbed with pain, making him wish he could just pinch the leg off.
"Brother Yi, aren't you going to mutate?" Routa Chen asked cautiously after hearing his heavy breathing due to pain.
"No, it hurts my legs." Zhang Yi didn't want to answer him, but he was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he almost squeezed out the words through his teeth.
"Brother Yi, your legs are really..." Routa Chen felt relieved, but a little bit sad.
Zhang Yi didn't respond anymore, not wanting to disturb others with his moans. He tensed his cheeks, gritted his teeth tightly, and even made a slight gurgling sound.
"Brother Yi, please share a sofa with me. It'll be warmer if we sleep together." Nan Shao's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. It turned out that he hadn't slept either, but unlike Rou Ta Chen who woke up from hunger, he It's cultivating superpowers.
"No..." Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering how the sofa could possibly accommodate two grown men. He was about to refuse, but Nan Shao spoke again as if he knew what he was thinking.
"You can sleep now. My hands are warm and I can massage your legs. I also have something to tell you."
Nan Shao is so kind to Brother Yi. Routa Chen murmured in his heart, but thought this was not bad, so he didn't think too much. He reached into his pocket and fumbled for a long time. Finally, he pulled out another peanut that had slipped through the net, threw it into his mouth, and lay down with a groan. .
Perhaps because the pain in his legs was unbearable, or because he wanted to know what Nan Shao was going to say, Zhang Yi carefully avoided the water basin and touched it while holding the quilt. The sound of Nan Shao moving his body sounded in the darkness, and then the light flickered, and it was Nan Shao who turned on the flashlight to guide him in the direction. In order to save power, Nan Shao turned off the light while Zhang Yi put the quilt on the sofa.
"Give me your legs." Perhaps because he was afraid of affecting others, Nan Shao's voice was very low, and there was an indescribable tenderness in his ears.
A strange feeling arose in Zhang Yi's heart, but he was quickly distracted by the pain in his legs. He half-lyed on the sofa with his legs bent, and put two pillows behind his back. As soon as he raised his right leg, he was struck by Nan Shao caught him. Nan Shao was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He put his right leg on his thigh near his stomach, then pulled the quilt to cover the two of them.
Zhang Yi only wore a pair of long johns he found when he slept. He could easily roll up the trouser legs. When Nan Shao's hand covered his cold calf, the hot feeling made him feel uncomfortable for a moment, but Soon he breathed out comfortably. Sure enough, young people have more firepower. He sighed and felt that Nan Shao didn't need to massage, but just warmed him up like this, and he was very satisfied.
"If nothing goes wrong tomorrow, I decided to try drinking distilled water." Nan Shao slowly rubbed Zhang Yi's slightly deformed right calf with his palm and said calmly.
Zhang Yi did not object and expressed his thoughts: "Maybe rainwater can be used without distillation." When they went out in the evening, although they tried to wrap their bodies tightly, there was water in their shoes, and they were breathing so hard. Being exposed to cold and humid air for a long time is no worse than being exposed to direct rain. If this is all right, why should they hesitate?
"If it rains like this for another two days, we might be able to break out." Nan Shao agreed.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi was silent for a moment and then said: "Where are we going after we break out? I don't know how many people will be left in Wangyang Town this time."
Nan Shao was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized. He had been thinking about the breakout, but he had forgotten that such weather would also have a huge impact on the survivors of Wangyang Town. Those simple shacks where ordinary people live cannot withstand such heavy rain. Even if the town's higher-ups allow everyone to move into their houses, cold protection is still a huge problem without any preparation, not to mention that there are A river threatens to cause flooding at any time. Just as Zhang Yi thought, even if the rainwater is harmless to the human body, the chance that the survivor base in Wangyang Town can be preserved is very slim. In comparison, although they are trapped here, they still seem to be luckier than the people in Wangyang Town. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel heavy. He may pay little attention to the life and death of irrelevant people, and he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but he can't remain indifferent when facing so many people who may suffer.
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little depressing. The warmth and massage from Nan Shao's palms worked. Zhang Yi's tense nerves slowly relaxed due to pain, and his eyelids unconsciously became heavier and heavier. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he felt Nan Shao put his legs down, then stood up and left. He moved and retracted himself completely into the quilt. Remembering to leave room for Nan Shao, he moved inside again and leaned completely against the back of the sofa.
There was a rustling sound in my ears, as if someone was moving the kettle away, adding coal, and covering the fire. In order to prevent everyone from falling asleep, the coal was burned out and the fire was put out, or the water in the pot was boiled. It can cause gas poisoning if dried. He taught Nan Shao these things before going to bed, so Nan Shao was probably ready to go to bed. Sure enough, just as this thought flashed through his mind, he felt a heavy weight on his body, and the quilt was draped over him again, and then the corner was lifted, and a body lay down close to his back.
So warm! He sighed inwardly, feeling sleepy and quickly fell into a dream.
Contrary to him, Nan Shao couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Nan Shao felt a little regretful, knowing clearly that he liked men, yet he still asked for trouble. Now that the man is pregnant and he is a man he admires quite a lot, how could he not be interested? His hand moved, and when he was about to touch Zhang Yi's waist, he quickly grabbed the black stone placed under the pillow.
He had seen clearly from Nan Wei how repulsive straight men were to same-sex love. He didn't want to stalemate his relationship with Zhang Yi because of his impulse, and he didn't want to see the look of disgust in those quiet eyes, so he would try to restrain himself.
After finally gathering his chaotic thoughts, he slowly input the power into the black stone. The corpse crystal had already been absorbed. Now he could only rely on the slow method of emptying the power and then recovering on its own to improve his abilities. He had a hunch that Black Stone's ability to absorb supernatural powers was approaching saturation. As for what will happen after saturation, he is somewhat looking forward to it.
I don't know when I fell asleep. In the dream, Nan Shao felt that he was surrounded by a ball of white light, as if he saw everything growing, the earth was full of green, and it seemed that there was nothing, and he was the only one left in the empty and empty world. , that kind of lonely panic made him wave his hands involuntarily, trying to grab something.
"Well, what are you dreaming about?" A reassuring voice suddenly came to his ears. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a handsome face came into his eyes. He was confused for a while, and then finally After recovering from the dream, he found that he had somehow pinned Zhang Yi down. In the dim candlelight, the man's dumbfounded face showed a faint worry, but he did not feel disgusted.
"Brother Shao, it turns out you are such a bad sleeper. Tsk, tell me the truth, were you having some inappropriate dream just now and mistaking our Brother Yi for a woman?" Routa Chen's voice sounded.
Nan Shao raised his head, and what he met was not Rou Ta Chen's fat face, but Zhang Ruiyang's curious eyes. They all got up! His face turned red, and before he could think of what to say, he felt the person beneath him move.
"Hey, I said, are you still pressed? Although I am very grateful to you for helping me warm my legs, you can't treat me like a meat mat." Zhang Yi smiled, and then he didn't forget to tease, "While Mu Ran is not here, Why don't you hurry up and go to the bathroom to sort it out?"
Nan Shao jumped up in embarrassment and got into the bathroom at a very fast speed, with the hearty laughter of Rou Ta Chen and Zhang Yi coming from behind.
This Zhang Yi is really brilliant! He leaned against the bathroom door, smiling bitterly, letting the cold air surround him, waiting for the desire to stand up to subside slowly, without moving his hands to touch it. Thinking of the feeling between the opponent's legs just now, my waist and eyes couldn't help but feel numb, and the things that had just softened became hard again. He cursed in his heart, tried hard to put away the thoughts in his mind, and finally managed to calm down when Zhang Ruiyang's footsteps came towards him.
Chapter 44 Intruder
The sky has never been bright, as if the dark night half a year ago has come again. The violent storm is accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if the devil has blown the horn to slaughter the world. Compared to other children, Zhang Ruiyang was quite courageous, but he was still frightened and got into Zhang Yi's arms.
"It's twelve o'clock." Routa Chen took the watch he took off from the zombie's wrist, squinted at the candlelight and said.
It's not twelve o'clock in the morning, it's twelve o'clock noon.
Everyone was silent. Because of thunder, they didn't even go to get food. The bucket that collects rainwater is always full. The bucket brought back from outside has been cleaned and is already a quarter full of distilled water. The pots, bowls and chopsticks were simply washed, and there was a soup pot on the stove. The water in it was tumbling. Li Muran poured in the fried noodles that he didn't eat much yesterday while stirring, then opened the pot and put the pot full of water back in. On to the fire. A glass of distilled water is placed in front of each person.
The water brought from the town and received later, even if they saved on drinking it, had already been exhausted. Several people's lips were so dry that the skin could crack, even Xiao Yangyang, who was given special care, was no exception.
When it comes to drinking distilled water, Nan Shao is no longer the only one to try it out.
"Tathagata, Buddha, Supreme Lord, Jade Emperor, Earth Master, Jesus Christ, Father and Mother, bless and bless..." Routa Chen put his palms together and bowed to the sky and the earth, worshiping all directions, and muttered something, even his parents who didn't know where they were. And took it with me.
"Dad, what is Fat Uncle doing?" Zhang Ruiyang asked curiously, but his eyes kept glancing at the water glass placed on the stove, and he sipped his mouth, feeling like he wanted to drink.
"Pray." Zhang Yi thought for a while and answered. He picked up the water and drank it in one gulp. He felt that there was no special taste, but it didn't have the strange taste of purified water. He originally wanted to feed his son something to drink after a while, but he found that the little guy was staring at his mouth with longing, and his heart tightened. He felt that his persistence was a bit meaningless, so he took the prepared water and handed it to the child's mouth. Around the mouth. "Drink."
Zhang Ruiyang's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth to the rim of the cup and took a few sips. Then he felt that it was not enough, so he simply raised his hand to hold the cup, and drank it all in one breath like his father.
Rou Ta Chen was still grinding and chirping there. When he saw Zhang Ruiyang's actions, he immediately felt very embarrassed. He grabbed the water cup and shouted like a strong man breaking off his wrist: "Just die, at worst, you will be a good man again in eighteen years." ." Then, drink it all in one gulp.
It's just a glass of water. Is there any need to engage in such a big battle? Nan Shao stretched out his long legs, holding the half-empty water glass, lazily leaning on the sofa, and looked at Tachen with disdain.
While Li Muran was adding batter to everyone, he took the time to drink his own glass of water. Everyone was given a piece of ham sausage, a meat floss, a few kiwi slices or banana slices, plus a bowl of fried batter with salt, and as much water as they wanted to drink. The portion was not much. But a very hearty meal.
"This reminds me of decapitation rice." Rou Ta Chen took a piece of ham, bit off most of it, and mumbled vaguely.
"Maybe it's a celebration!" Li Muran glanced at him and said lightly.
Zhang Yi didn't say anything. He tore the ham into pieces and put them into Zhang Ruiyang's batter. He then brought the small stool to the coffee table and let the child sit there and eat by himself.
A few people were eating dinner in silence when there was a sudden knock on the door outside. They were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Zhang Yinan, Shao and Routa Chen each picked up their weapons and walked towards the door. Li Muran quickly took everyone away. He tore off the ham and meat floss packages and threw them into the fire. Then he also went to get the pickaxe he used to kill zombies. He then held Yangyang in his arms and let him continue eating while nervously listening to the outside. situation.
When the three of them went out, the crashing sound stopped again. Nan Shao took a flashlight and looked at the door. Just when he was about to discuss with others whether to open the door and take a look, he felt something was wrong. He pointed the light beam of his flashlight at the door lock, and then he saw that the door lock seemed to be melting, slowly losing its original shape.
He pointed and motioned for Zhang Yi and Routa Chen to take a look. When they saw clearly, their expressions suddenly changed. If by this time they still don't know that there are supernatural beings outside and they are not good-natured, they will have been wallowing in the apocalypse for half a year in vain. The previous crash was obviously caused by the other party thinking that their door was like other houses, the door lock was broken and could not be closed tightly, and they wanted to break into the door in one fell swoop.
"Gold power." Nan Shao whispered.
Who lives in this unit is not so clear to each other, because since they moved in, they have been huddled in the house. Later, it rained heavily, and it was even harder to bump into each other. However, even if you don't know who they are, you can guess that many people will suffer big losses in the sudden change of weather due to lack of preparation. It's not that they didn't expect to be influenced by others, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly.
Zhang Yi nodded at Rou Ta Chen, and then saw Rou Ta Chen step forward and kick the door, and cursed: "Which bastard dares to pry open your fat man's door? Damn you bastard, when are you Fatty is easy to bully, right?"
Nan Shao noticed that after Routa Chen kicked the door, the door lock's deformation paused for a moment, but then continued again. He frowned slightly and said, "Stay back." It's not that they can't block the door with things for temporary safety, but they can't stay out all the time, so escaping won't solve the problem. Rather than being plotted against later, it would be better to deal with it openly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock clicked and then was kicked open. Fortunately, Routa Chen could dodge quickly, otherwise he would have been hit hard by the door panel. There was light shining in, and the other party actually held a flashlight. After comparing the flashlights on both sides for a long time, they finally saw each other's situation clearly.
There were eight or nine heads shaking outside the door. Nan Shao and the other two people felt a little bit in their hearts, knowing that what happened today might not be easy.
"Who was spitting shit just now?" The leader walked in, and the flashlight in his hand swept over the faces of the three people one by one, and finally stopped on the body of Meat Ta Chen. "Is that you, Fatty?" He is about the same height as Nan Shao, but has a strong back and strong waist. He looks much burlier, unlike Nan Shao who only looks slender when wearing clothes, like a jade tree facing the wind.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Yi walked over and blocked his gaze, and asked calmly, his expression was extremely calm, and there was no trace of panic.
"Don't worry, it's not your turn yet, lame. Get out of the way!" The man stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Yi away. In his opinion, Zhang Yi was thin and lame. No matter how tall he was, it would be useless. Who would have thought that this careless , I felt a sharp pain in my wrist, and couldn't help but scream out. The people behind him saw something was wrong, and while yelling, two fireballs broke through the darkness and hit Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi did not let go of the man's hand and quickly dodged to avoid it. At the same time, Nan Shao passed by him and kicked the man who fired the fireball. Nan Shao's kick came out with anger, so fast and fierce that it actually kicked the man away and knocked the man behind him staggering. Those people obviously didn't expect that ordinary people would dare to fight against them, so they suffered a lot of losses as soon as they met. But after all, they had been dealing with zombies for a long time, so they quickly reacted and were ready to take action.
"Who dares!" How could Zhang Yi give them a chance to fight back? The moment he grabbed the leading man's wrist and used the bone-breaking technique to temporarily lose the ability to move due to severe pain, the blade of the machete in his hand was already on the man's neck.
"I wonder if your metal power is so powerful that it can turn your neck as hard as steel, or turn this knife into a pile of scrap metal before it tastes your blood?"
Nan Shao stood between the two parties to prevent others from attacking Zhang Yi. Hearing the voices coming from behind, a smile appeared on his lips. Although superpowers are powerful, their weaknesses are also very obvious. Most people with superpowers are awakened by ordinary people. They do not know how to capture and fight, and they have not systematically learned various practical fighting techniques. Before awakening their superpowers, they may use any tools to fight zombies and slowly explore in the battle. The most direct and effective way to kill zombies. After the supernatural power is awakened, it becomes more dependent on the supernatural power. Because of their awakened powers, their vision, hearing, smell, and reactions are better than ordinary people, but compared with those who have received specialized training, such as criminal police, special forces, etc., there is still a certain gap. Moreover, the apocalypse has only occurred for half a year, and all kinds of supernatural powers are still in the exploratory stage. Even if they are powerful, their power is very limited, not to mention that it will take a long time to recover after being used. It is not that difficult to defeat people with superpowers at present, especially since they are now in a stage where their self-confidence is unprecedentedly expanded because they feel that they have "god" abilities. Zhang Yi obviously saw this clearly, so he seized the opportunity to take action. After a period of time passes, and the superpowers have a clearer understanding of their own positioning and abilities, the gap between them and the unawakened people will really widen.
"You should know that if you hurt me, all of you will die." The held man's hand hanging on one side had a metallic luster, but he still restrained himself from moving. He was used to seeing scenes, and he was able to remain calm at this time.
"I don't intend to hurt you. Of course, the premise is that you and your partner are friendly enough." Zhang Yi said with a smile. Without waiting for the other party to answer, Zi Gu continued: "Look, although there are not many of us and we don't have special powers, if we risk our lives, it is not that difficult to save a few lives among you."
The man snorted coldly . He made a sound, looked over Nan Shao's shoulder and looked at his companions. Although the light was not good, he could still feel that they were more or less affected by these words, so he said, "What do you want?" In fact, he has already made up his mind. If the other party proposes to let one of his own people leave or even make some compensation, he will immediately agree. There is only a long time to come, so we can settle the accounts slowly in the future.
"No need to deny it, you and I know very well why you are here." Zhang Yi paused for a moment before speaking calmly. "We can give up this house, including everything in it, including coal and firewood. As for food and water, you should know that we will not get more than you." As
soon as these words came out, not only the men and those The superpowers who were blocked by Nan Shao were stunned. Even Routa Chen couldn't help shouting: "Brother Yi, why should we give them what we worked so hard to get?"
"Shut up! "Zhang Yi shouted, his eyes not missing the slightest bit of the man's reaction, including his metalized hands. "We will leave. You just need to ensure that all of us leave safely."
The man closed his eyes, and then said: "Okay." Finding that Zhang Yi had no intention of letting go, he reacted and faced his companions Said: "Let them go!"
Maybe he still has some prestige among several superpowers, or maybe Zhang Yi's previous words had an effect, and the people outside really moved aside to make way.
"Go and call Mu Ran. You don't need to bring anything except a raincoat and weapons." Zhang Yi said to Routa Chen.
Although Routa Chen was reluctant, he would not disobey Zhang Yi's decision and immediately turned around and entered the small hall inside. Soon he and Li Muran walked out of it holding Zhang Ruiyang, carrying raincoats and weapons as Zhang Yi said. Other than that, nothing was taken.
"There are some vacant rooms in this unit, you can live there." The man suddenly said, as if his conscience had discovered.
Zhang Yi snorted noncommittally.
When they saw Li Muran passing by, several of the superpowers' eyes lit up, and they seemed to want to keep him behind, but they soon gave up the idea under the cold gaze of Zhang Yi. Nan Shao stayed at the end and retreated at the same time as Zhang Yi.
Chapter 45 Premonition
"Brother Yi, where are we going?" Routa Chen cursed angrily all the way. He didn't think of asking until he was about to leave the corridor.
"Leave here and go to the supermarket." Unexpectedly, it was not Zhang Yi who answered, but Nan Shao.
"What!" This time, not only Routa Chen, but also Li Muran, who didn't like to talk much, and even Zhang Yi were surprised. According to Zhang Yi, they only needed to go to another building. After all, it was dark and rainy, and there were zombies outside, so it was not practical to go anywhere else.
"I don't feel very good." Nan Shao said.
"Of course it feels bad to be kicked out of a warm house." Routa Chen muttered, "Even if you want to go outside, you have to wait until it gets brighter. If you go out now, you won't be giving food to those living dead in vain."
"Instead of complaining, it's better to make yourself stronger and then go back and wash away today's humiliation. Otherwise, the next time something like this happens, I'm afraid it won't be enough to give up the house, but also my life." Nan Shao said coldly. say. Being forced to leave his place, he was already simmering with anger, and he had to endure Rou Ta Chen's complaints and swear words all the way. He was not a good-tempered person, so he naturally became rude in his words at this time.
Routa Chen pouted his plump mouth and did not dare to make any more noise. Even he himself didn't know why, but he seemed to be particularly afraid of Nan Shao.
"It's just an intuition. I've been feeling a little frightened since the morning. I always feel like it's no longer safe here." Nan Shao explained. "However, I don't know where it will be safer. I just feel that if the rain keeps falling like this, at least I can find enough food in the supermarket." In fact, the nearest community should be able to find a lot of food, but Because it is too close to this place, it is easy to conflict with the team here who will run out of food, and then the work will be in vain. It is better to stay farther away from the beginning.
"There is a large supermarket in the central square, but it is located underground and is not suitable. I am not sure about the locations of other supermarkets," Zhang Yi said. It's not because Nan Shao ignored it just because of his feelings. In fact, in this end of the world, there are no reliable and fast sources of information, and intuition can often save a person's life. But after all, he had been in prison for five years. After he was released, the apocalypse broke out before he could get familiar with the changes in the new city, so what he knew best was the old city that had not changed much.
"And the supermarket has too many people. With just a few of us, it is impractical to enter when there is no light."
Nan Shao didn't think it was a problem on how to enter the supermarket, but what he said was Based on Zhang Yi's understanding of the county town, this premise does not exist now. It is obviously an extremely bad idea to stumble into a county town full of zombies in the dark and rain.
"I know that there is a department store in the south of the city, and there is a park built on the hillside around it. When it was first built, there were a lot of people there. Later, it was said that there were robberies and murders, and the number of people gradually decreased. But the store before the apocalypse The department store is still open, and a friend of mine is also a member of the supermarket on the first floor. It's a bit more troublesome to go there," said Routa Chen. Although he lives in Changshi, he is no stranger to the surrounding counties and has friends everywhere.
"Are you talking about the four-eyed chicken?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Yes, it's a four-eyed chicken. Brother Yi, do you remember it?" Routa Chen was a little surprised, but soon became frustrated, "I don't know if that bastard is dead or not."
Of course Zhang Yi remembers the thin, small but A guy as smart as a monkey. You have to know that when he first started investigating Meat Ta Chen, he was fooled around by this person. It was difficult not to be impressed, but he didn't have much dealings with him afterwards.
After listening to Routa Chen's description, Nan Shao had an inexplicable picture of green plants growing wildly, surrounding buildings, and eating people. He couldn't help but shuddered and said, "No. I want to find a place with no green space around. There are no plants anywhere."
"Brother Shao, are you dreaming? Where are the plants now?" Routa Chen looked at Nan Shao as if he was looking at something rare. He felt that although this guy was good-looking, he was really a bit nervous. of.
But Zhang Yi understood what Nan Shao wanted to express, thought about it, and said: "On Qingyun Road, about two hundred meters away from the old city, there is a Shengfeng Hotel, close to the bus station, surrounded by guesthouses and restaurants. , behind are the houses. Except for the potted plants outside the hotel gate, there is not even a tree nearby.
"That's more than half of the county," said Routa Chen's mouth. It has taken shape.
"Are you afraid?" Nan Shao asked.
"Afraid." Routa Chen nodded.
"Are you going?" Nan Shao asked again.
"You go, I'll go." Routa Chen Gudong swallowed. Although he didn't answer readily at first, he still responded affirmatively.
Zhang Yi tied Yangyang to his chest with a strap, and Li Muran was beside him to help him. Nan Shao ignored the meat tower Chen and said to Zhang Yi: "Brother Yi, let me carry Yang Yang."
Zhang Yi shook his head: "The more flexible you are, the safer we will be. Besides, I am used to it." And Nan Shao I'm not used to carrying a child on my back to fight zombies. At this time, it is no longer a matter of trust or distrust, but of doing everything possible to improve everyone's chance of survival.
"Dad, are we moving again?" Zhang Ruiyang raised his hand cooperatively, letting the strap pass under his arm and asked.
"Yes. Are you afraid of Yangyang?" Zhang Yi lowered his head and kissed his son's forehead, and asked in a low voice, feeling full of guilt for not being able to provide his son with a safe and stable place to live, so that the child would have to live with adults at a young age. Running around in danger on such a cold and rainy night.
"Dad is here, Uncle Pumpkin is here, Aunt Muran is here, Uncle Fatty is here, Yangyang is not afraid." Zhang Ruiyang thought for a while and answered seriously. Then he raised his hand as if to touch his stomach, but because he was already tied to Zhang Yi, he had to give up and said, "And I'm full, and the banana slices are in my bag." The last sentence seemed to be related to Zhang Yi. The question was completely unrelated, but the strange thing was that all four people present understood it. Children say that when their stomachs are full, they also carry the uneaten food with them, so they can go anywhere. Then everyone smiled and once again felt that bringing this child was not stressful at all.
Several people prepared individually and even put on gloves, but they were not to prevent rain, but to prevent being bitten by zombies. Zhang Ruiyang was wrapped in Zhang Yi's raincoat. Fortunately, both father and son were thin enough. With the raincoat buttoned up, they still looked plump.
"Go and tell Mr. Qiao and Shi Pengsan." Zhang Yi said suddenly when he was leaving. Although what the other party did was not obvious, they were not unsophisticated people, and they were unaware that they were being taken care of.
"They may not believe it." Nan Shao replied, but he did not object. Instead, he thought of another thing: "We should find a rope to tie us together to prevent us from getting separated."
"Look at what Qiao Qiao and the others have. No."
Several people walked out of the corridor into the rain. Routa Chen walked behind, pulled Li Muran, and asked: "Sister Muran, don't you think that going out like this is going to kill you?"
Although it was dark, Li Muran still returned. He lowered his head, but when he realized that he couldn't see anything, he immediately turned back and followed the dim beam of light from the flashlight in Nan Shao's hand who was walking at the front. Because of the heavy rain, the light couldn't even be projected farther: "Brother Shao Brother Yi and the others don't want to die more than you and me."
When Routa Chen heard this, he felt relieved and stopped talking. And he seemed to have accepted this principle, and from this time he also learned Li Muran's expression of calm, calm and unconditional obedience no matter what decision Nan Shao and Zhang Yi made.
Because it had been dark since yesterday, and the weather was cold, and there wasn't much to eat. At this time, almost everyone was wrapped in quilts and sleeping by the fire. The time for Zhang Yi and the others to come was really not very suitable. Fortunately, the two people living with Qiao Yong were pretty good. When they saw a few of them, they were more surprised.
"You want to leave?" Qiao Yong understood the purpose of their visit, and his mustache immediately stood up, making Zhang Ruiyang want to reach out and pull it. Of course, he also knew that this was very impolite, so he just moved his little hand, then looked up at Zhang Yi's chin, a little curious as to why his father didn't have that kind of beard. If there were, it would be much easier for him to touch it.
Nan Shao responded and told his premonition, as well as their guesses about Wangyang Town. Without any modification or exaggeration, it was so plain that it was almost unconvincing. As for the house being occupied by people with supernatural powers, he was too ashamed to mention it, and he never thought of asking Qiao Yong to help them get justice. Let alone the end of the world now, even in the past, how could there be any real justice? He has no choice but to swallow the breath of being inferior to others. Sooner or later, he will pay back double what those people have done to them.
"But there are zombies outside now. If you go out like this, aren't you going to die?" Qiao Yong frowned, as if he thought it was too reckless for them to make such a decision based on intuition alone.
"We're leaving. Thank you Team Leader Qiao and Brother Shi for taking care of me. As for Brother Shi, it's too late so I can't disturb you. I have to ask Team Leader Qiao to say something on your behalf." Nan Shao didn't think about convincing Qiao Yong. , it's just a moral reminder. If you don't want to waste time, you have to leave. Before turning around, he remembered something and said, "By the way, the distilled rainwater should be drinkable."
Qiao Yong was stunned for a moment, and when he saw them turning to leave, he suddenly remembered the scene the day before yesterday when they packed up their bags in case the weather changed. He kept shouting: "Wait a minute."
Several people stopped and looked puzzled, but no one turned around, as if they were waiting for the other party to finish speaking before leaving.
"You guys come in first and let me discuss it with the others." Qiao Yong had no choice but to add: "It won't waste too much time."
Nan Shao and others guessed that Qiao Yong might be a little shaken, thinking that if there was one more People have greater strength, so they don't refuse. No matter how anxious they are, they won't fight for this moment, not to mention they just have a vague premonition and are not that anxious.
Qiao Yong's work efficiency was quite high. In just one hour, he had people split up to inform everyone of Nan Shao's guess, and even let them make a choice. Of course, there were a lot of people who ridiculed him privately, and some laughed at him for making a fuss out of a molehill. In their opinion, breaking out in the rain now would be a fool. However, there were still people who followed him back, although there were not many, only eight or nine people. There were three people with super powers, and the rest were all ordinary people. Shi Pengsan also came.
"Are you two leaving?" Qiao Yong asked Xiong Hua and Liu Xia, who lived with him.
Chapter 46 Leaving
"Are you two leaving?" Qiao Yong asked Xiong Hua and Liu Xia, who lived with him.
"Although the timing is not very good, the first time it gets dark, most of the humans turned into zombies. This second time it gets dark, who knows what the hell will happen." Xiong Hua said, "There is simply not enough food here. More than two hundred people have to eat for a few days, and we still have to go out to collect supplies. What will happen then? Maybe all the zombies are dead and we can escape easily, or maybe this place becomes a vast ocean and we are trapped to death." , he shrugged, "I think it's better to go out with you now, at least I can keep my feet on the ground. I hate floating on the water." Obviously, he was not as calm in his heart as he showed on his face, that's why he said this Talkative. However, Liu Xia simply nodded to express his attitude.
"Tell me what your plans are." Seeing that everyone present was about to leave, Qiao Yong looked at Nan Shao.
Nan Shao and Zhang Yi looked at each other, without any secret, and stated the plan they had discussed before in a concise and concise manner. Qiao Yong touched his chin with half-squinted eyes and said, "If that place is really what you said, it's better than the supermarket, and you can collect more supplies around it." At this point, he suddenly remembered that he actually I didn't want to say this, so I quickly turned to the topic: "We are surrounded by zombies outside. How are you going to leave?" "
Brother Yi and I went to check yesterday. Because the heavy rain covered the smell of people, many of the zombies have dispersed." Nan Shao said.
Because they are worried that rainwater is harmful to the human body, basically no one is willing to go into the rain except to receive food. Therefore, not only the team members, but also the several superpower team leaders have no idea about the situation outside. After hearing Nan Shao's words, everyone couldn't help but cheer up, and finally gained some confidence in the hastily made decision.
"Zombies basically rely on smell and sound to track people. Heavy rain can cover up these two things. As long as we are careful, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak out. And if we are lucky, maybe today's zombies are better than yesterday's Less." Zhang Yi said with a smile. Of course, he omitted the situation where he was not lucky enough, so there is no need to say that.
Qiao Yong changed his usual smiling look and his expression became extremely serious: "Then let us choose the most suitable route. Don't worry about the wall that may have been broken down. We have two earth-type superpowers here. "What he meant was that if necessary, they didn't have to pass through the side with the most zombies.
I have to say that this is also good news for Zhang Yi and others. Although there were many zombies gathered on the other side of the earth wall, they were nothing compared to the other side of the street.
"I'm from the county, and I'm fairly familiar with this area." Someone spoke, but he was one of the ordinary people who had remained silent since he came in.
"What's your name? Come here, come here. Others, hurry up and pack your things. Try to pack as little as possible so as not to affect your movements. If you move quickly, maybe we can have a good meal in the hotel before dawn." Qiao Yong He called that person over and urged others. He was really good at inciting the atmosphere. With just a few words, he tried his best to weaken the uncertainty of the future, and at the same time, he raised infinite hope and longing in the hearts of everyone present.
"My name is Zhao Chun." The man said, looking at Zhang Yi: "Fortunately, I listened to your words that day and got a lot of clothes, quilts, and firewood. I have had a pretty good past two days." It turned out that he was also a An extremely cautious, yet bold guy.
Zhang Yi nodded slightly to him, introduced himself, and the two of them got together and quickly discussed a route that, although it required a few more detours, usually had very little traffic. On this road, there are only two most dangerous points, one is when leaving the community, and the second is when you need to cross the main street in the middle of the county. These two points cannot be avoided at all and can only be overcome forcefully.
"If it's not necessary, try not to kill zombies. We can't afford it on the road." Zhang Yi said to Qiao Yong before setting off. Qiao Yong thought it made sense, so he loudly told the others.
When a group of people went out to leave, someone on each floor opened the door, or hid behind the door and looked at them as if they were crazy. If it were normal, Qiao Yong's temper would have exploded long ago, but now he was in no mood to care, and others were even less bothered to care. They are all resolute people, even those ordinary people, so there was only a gust of wind, and then there was a bang on the door, and they disappeared from everyone's sight, either openly or covertly, as quickly as possible. Stepped into the rain curtain.
"Would you like to come and have a look?" Wei Zhonghua asked Chang Han in the apartment opposite.
"Are you as stupid as them? You're not afraid of being stained by the rain and turning into those people-eating things." Li Changze snorted, "This Qiao Yong knows how to scold this and kick that all day long. It seems like he is doing something great. Yes, he is actually a big idiot!" After saying that, he wrapped himself in a quilt and lay down, and soon he started snoring.
When the fire went out, Wei Zhonghua and Chang Han looked at each other, but neither of them spoke to each other. It wasn't until his snoring could be heard that Chang Han threw a piece of wood into the fire and said calmly: "There's no need to look now. There are only two outcomes, death or life."
"Do you believe what they say?" Wei Zhonghua and Chang Han were just acquaintances before, but after this cooperation, they admired this person more and more.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Chang Han replied, "In the last days, you can live longer by relying on intuition than relying on reason." The implication is that he would rather believe in Nan Shao's words than believe in them.
"Then why don't you go with them?" Wei Zhonghua was puzzled. He thought that if Chang Han was willing to leave at that time, he would leave with him.
"It's raining heavily and it's dark, why are you in such a hurry." Chang Han pulled the quilt on his body, his eyes fell on the dancing flames, his sharp eyes were half-squinted by the smoke, "Someone is willing to go and explore first. The road is not bad. Before that, why don't we have a good sleep and refresh ourselves."
Wei Zhonghua couldn't help but feel a little chilled when he heard this, and at the same time he was a little lucky that he was on the side of Chang Han. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Changze, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and suddenly felt that this man was the most pitiable, stupid and naive.
While the two were talking, Qiao Yong and his party had arrived at the gate of the community. Nan Shao raised his flashlight and quickly scanned outside. The rain curtain was too heavy and the flashlight beam could not reach far, but it could still be seen that the number of zombies had indeed been greatly reduced. Wherever the beam of light reached, there were only a few sparse ones. Signing to the people behind him, he climbed up the platform, opened the iron door gently, and stepped out. The flashlight beam fell on the zombies, trying to be as careful as possible not to expose himself or others. Although zombies have sensitive hearing and smell, their vision is not all for show, so it is better to be careful.
There were seventeen people in total. Except for Zhang Ruiyang, who was carried on Zhang Yi's chest, the others, even ordinary people, were quick and quick in their movements. With Nan Shao's very skillful guidance from the front, except for one zombie who almost hit the face and was quietly eliminated by Shi Pengsan, who had metal powers, the other zombies were able to get around easily. Even so, it still took them more than ten minutes to reach the earth wall. As expected, part of the earthen wall had been washed away, but it was still enough to block everyone's footsteps.
Two earth-type superpowers went out and created a gap in the earth wall for one person to enter and exit. Nan Shao still went first. After making sure there were no zombies blocking the way, Zhang Yi and the ordinary person who was familiar with the new city passed, and finally the others. As soon as it rained heavily, the smell of humans disappeared. The zombies that had gathered on the side of the earth wall dispersed in search of targets that could fill their stomachs. The road returned to the condition before the attack on the county town. Once the zombies are less dense, sneaking on a rainy night becomes much easier.
The rain was violent, hitting the person's head, face and body. Even if he was wearing a thick cotton coat or down jacket, it still felt like someone was beating his body hard, causing a dull pain. No one was holding an umbrella, and with the intensity of the rain, the umbrella was of no use other than affecting the movement. Some people took umbrellas with them when they left, but threw them away before leaving the community.
The heavy rain covered their eyes, and this time not only the zombies couldn't see them, but they couldn't see where the zombies were. If Nan Shao hadn't had a flashlight in his hand to guide him, getting lost in the rain would have been an inevitable result. Although no ropes were used to tie everyone together to prevent them from getting separated, everyone, whether they were men or women, supernatural beings or ordinary people, tried their best to hold the hand of the person closest to them, supporting and pulling each other With. No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, at least during this part of the journey, they relied on each other and helped each other without any barriers.
The route planned by Zhang Yi and Zhao Chun is indeed very good. After leaving the street, the chances of encountering zombies on the road become less and less. It seems that there are a lot of detours, but in fact it is the same as avoiding zombies on the street. Compared with the time, it also saves a lot of time and energy, and the risk level is also greatly reduced. But when they reached Main Street, they ran into trouble.
"There are too many. There is almost a zombie every one or two steps away." Nan Shao swept the flashlight outside, then quickly retracted, and turned back to the others. The rain was so loud that even though he didn't want to, he still had to shout to be heard by others. Fortunately, he retreated some distance, otherwise he might have attracted a lot of zombies.
"It's impossible to go back now." Qiao Yong touched the water on his face. His face was blue with cold. Of course, no one could see it, and the same was true for everyone else.
"Find a way to make them give way." Zhang Yi's legs were so painful that he lost consciousness. After he stopped, he could only rely on Nan Shao and Zhao Chun to support him. He tightened his arms around Zhang Ruiyang, who was shivering from the cold, and said.
"Whoever has a way, tell me quickly! If you delay any longer, everyone will die here!" Nan Shao felt Zhang Yi shaking violently, and he felt a little anxious. He yelled, without caring about anything else, he stretched out his hand to hold the man and the man together. He hugged the child in his arms and pressed it tightly against his chest, hoping to keep the father and son warm.
Zhang Yi was stunned, and it took him a while to recover. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. The situation was pressing, but he still did not reject Nan Shao's kindness.
Chapter 47 Hotel
Originally, according to the route set by Zhang Yi and Zhao Chun, even if they passed through the main street of the county, they would choose a section with relatively less traffic. However, they had forgotten that the previous attack on the county had triggered a zombie riot. The distribution of the number of zombies had already changed, and they were very unlucky to have picked that very dense road section. Now it is impossible to change the route. The only thing that can be done is to find a way among these zombies.
It was a matter of life and death, and everyone was actively using their brains.
"Binzi and I may be able to build two earth walls to separate a road...but the zombies in the middle of the two roads still need to be cleared, and our strength is only enough to lift it half a meter high. After the power is used up, we will still need you. Take us away." An earth-type person said.
It's not a particularly good idea, and no one would choose it unless there was really no other way. After all, half a meter high cannot completely block the zombies' outstretched hands and their obsession with fresh meat, not to mention that it takes a lot of time and energy to clean up the zombies within the two walls.
"I carry an alarm clock with me. After setting the time, throwing it out may attract the zombies." Someone said, obviously he also likes to prepare for rainy days, otherwise who would carry an alarm clock with him at this time. But the rain was so loud that even what they shouted could not be heard clearly, and it was not clear whether the sound of the alarm could attract the attention of the zombies.
"The rain is too heavy, otherwise I could throw a few fireballs out to attract their attention." Qiao Yong sighed. But it's nonsense. You must know that if there is no rain, the most attractive thing to the zombies will not be the fireballs, but their large group of people.
"The first store on the left side of the exit sells magazines, the second store is a small supermarket, and the third store is a small restaurant." Zhao Chun recalled, "The first store on the right is a fast food restaurant, and the second store is a beef noodle shop."
"If one store on the left and right can be allowed to explode or catch fire, the zombies will definitely be attracted to it." Zhang Yi understood what he meant instantly and answered. The reason why one house should be burned on both sides is because if there is only one house, the zombies will go to that house, and the road cannot be cleared. Only two houses can divert the traffic.
The two families that caught fire and exploded must not be too close to the intersection, otherwise they would have no chance of survival when zombies surrounded them. Moreover, there must be flammable and explosive items in the store. The two restaurants that meet these two points are obviously the two restaurants that Zhao Chun specifically pointed out, because there must be gas tanks in them. As long as you can't cross the street, it's not too difficult to sneak into the store on the same side. And compared to the previous ideas, this one seems more reliable. So, everyone soon decided to adopt this plan.
There are two or three steps from the shop to the sidewalk below. Zombies generally will not climb the stairs without food to lure them. Therefore, compared with the streets and sidewalks where corpses are densely packed, there are more steps above. It's actually quite safe. Of course, it was under such a torrential rain situation. If it were normal, it would definitely be a perfect target.
This time, four superpowers took action. Qiao Yong and Shi Pengsan were in charge of the small restaurant on the left, and Xiong Hua and Liu Xia were in charge of the beef noodle restaurant on the right. Nan Shao handed one of the two flashlights they brought with them, and then the others quietly waited in the alleyway for the results.
Nan Shao's hand found Zhang Yi's head, pressed it against his shoulder, and then put the man between the wall and his chest, as if this could shield the father and son from some wind and rain. Zhang Yi was so cold that he couldn't speak. Even though he was wrapped in a raincoat, most of the clothes inside were still wet. It felt like he was soaked in ice water below his knees. He could barely support himself when walking. Once he stopped, he felt It seemed like all the strength was gone. He could still bear this. He was most worried about Zhang Ruiyang, but at this time he didn't dare to touch the child with his cold hands. He could only lower his head and put his lips on his son's head, feeling the warmth in his heart. I was relieved. If Nan Shao's actions were normal, he would definitely feel strange, but at this time, he felt indescribably moved in his heart. When the whole person was trapped in a cold and wet environment, there was actually someone who was willing to try his best to convey some warmth to him and use his body to protect him from the heavy rain. No matter what the other person's psychology was, for Zhang Yi, It's enough to put it in the position closest to your loved ones in your heart.
Everyone else was leaning against each other, and even Routa Chen was using his huge body to shield Li Muran from some rain. The wait in the dark night and cold rain is always quite long. It only took a few minutes from the time Qiao Yong and Shi Pengsan left to the time they came back, but everyone felt as if a century had passed. It was not convenient to talk in the rain, so they only used the flashlight to make a successful gesture and then extinguished the light beam. No one knew whether they had encountered any danger. But anyway, he came back safely. Xiong Hua and Liu Xia were a minute behind, but their actions were also successful.
The firelight leaked from the front of the two houses, illuminating a large open space in front, and also penetrated into the dark rain curtain, attracting the attention of many zombies, but the zombies directly in front of them were still milling around aimlessly, because It was a little far away, but I wasn't attracted to it.
After waiting for a few more minutes, they heard a loud explosion, the ground shook, and everyone's eardrums were still buzzing. There was another explosion, a bang, and a piece of the wall on one side of the alley collapsed. Fortunately, they had already retreated. Some distance away, otherwise it would have to be hit. Two flames shot into the sky, but were soon dimmed by the heavy rain.
At the moment when all the zombies were attracted by the loud noise and fire, and a gap finally appeared in front of them, more than a dozen people rushed towards the opposite side without even using a flashlight. They don't have much time. The rain is too heavy and the flames ignited by the explosion will be extinguished soon. Not only will this vacant area be filled with zombies again, but more zombies from other places will be attracted by the explosion. Come here, this place will soon be filled with corpses.
Nan Shao half hugged and half dragged Zhang Yi forward, and his speed was naturally slower than the others. The moment the fire went out, Zhang Yi suddenly struck back. The machete he had been holding tightly in his hand drew a strange arc, and then he heard a snap and something fell to the ground. Nan Shao's movements paused for a moment, and then resumed his previous speed, while Zhang Yi was still in the wonderful feeling of wielding that knife. Faintly, he seemed to have grasped how to make himself stronger and no weaker than The path of superpowers.
The road went much smoother after that. Under the leadership of Zhao Chun, the group arrived at Shengfeng Hotel easily. Of course, those two explosions also played a major role in attracting most of the zombies on the road. Before entering the hotel, Nan Shao asked Qiao Yong to set off several fireballs to burn the withered potted plants outside the hotel door to ashes.
It was easy to clean up the zombies in the hotel. There were only a few people in the lobby, and many people were cleared away without even having a chance to take action. After closing the door tightly from the inside, Qiao Yong took two people to find the hotel's own generator, while the rest went to clean the restaurant and kitchen.
When the lights came on, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and then they reacted and quickly cut off the neon lights outside and the lights in the lobby. The curtains in the restaurant were drawn tight, the lights dimmed, and the air conditioning turned on. Zhang Yi had no choice but to leave. After taking off his raincoat and putting down Zhang Ruiyang, he sat directly on the wooden floor against a sofa.
"Yangyang, help your dad take off his shoes and socks first." Nan Shao told him, threw away the raincoat, and then went to clean the guest room on the second floor with the others. Only by clearing out the guest rooms will there be a place to sleep.
At this time, the difference between superpowers and ordinary people becomes apparent. In addition to Zhang Yi, there are several ordinary people who are unable to continue to participate in the operation of clearing zombies, including Routa Chen. On the contrary, Li Muran was in better condition. Of course, she was extremely grateful that her aunt had not come, otherwise she would definitely be worse off than dead if caught in this cold rain.
Although the temperature in the restaurant was slowly rising, the few people who stayed behind chopped some wooden chairs and tables, lit a fire, and while toasting their soaked clothes, they began to search out some food from the kitchen and prepare it. Make a meal. Of course, you can save electricity if you can. After all, the oil supply for generators is limited. As for the water, after being rained all night, no one had the energy to distill it slowly. So I took the pot and bucket and found a place on the second floor to collect the water. I boiled the water to clean the pot, and then boiled it again. A large pot of boiling water. There is a gas stove in the kitchen, which is very convenient to use. Of course, these were all done by others. After Zhang Yi's legs warmed up, the pain became more severe. He sat there with a pale face, cold sweat dripping down with the rain.
Zhang Ruiyang, on the other hand, looked pretty good. Except for shivering from the cold in the rain at first, and jumping around for a while after he came in, he was already the same as usual. He was listening to Nan Shao's words, sticking his butt out and helping his father to pull out the penis with great difficulty. Take off wet shoes and socks.
"Brother Yi, take off your clothes and pants, wrap this first." Routa Chen walked down from the second floor, carrying a quilt in one hand, throwing one to Li Muran, and the other to Zhang Yi. This hotel is not small, and the quilts are enough, so no one is greedy.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Ruiyang started to help Zhang Yi unzip and pull his pants again. The little guy was not strong enough at all, but with such seriousness, even if Zhang Yi felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to die, he still couldn't help but pull out something a little ugly. smile. In the end, of course, Routa Chen helped. He stripped Zhang Yi down to his underwear, wrapped him in a quilt, and dragged him to the fire before he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took off Zhang Ruiyang's slightly wet cotton-padded clothes and stuffed them with Zhang Yi.
"Uncle Fatty, I'm not cold at all." Zhang Ruiyang looked at Routa Chen innocently with his big eyes open.
Routa Chen was stunned for a moment, touched the little guy's hand, and found that it was indeed warm, so he pulled the person out again, and then wrapped Zhang Yi tightly. Zhang Yi was left to his own devices and had no energy to say anything. It wasn't until Li Muran brought a few cups of hot milk over that he took a few sips and then slowly regained his breath.
"Little darling is so strong." Routa Chen was sitting on the ground because he was wearing wet clothes, drinking hot milk and sighing.
"Yeah, I'm very strong." The child was afraid of being burned and couldn't take a sip after blowing for a long time. When he heard that he was talking about himself, he immediately raised his head and answered happily.
On the other hand, Zhang Yi had a look of deep thought on his face.
Chapter 48 Settlement
Of course Zhang Yi couldn't be unclear about his son's health. It wasn't too bad, but he wasn't as good as he looked now. It seemed that the child had changed without him noticing.
Could it be that he has awakened his superpower? He thought of this possibility, but since he had never seen his son show any ability in this area, he really couldn't be sure. I was going to ask, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to talk in private. No matter what the reason is, it is a good thing that my son is strong. So I put this matter aside for the time being.
Nan Shao and the others came down quickly. Of course, they couldn't clean the entire hotel now, so they just cleaned a few rooms first, which was enough to accommodate them. After all, everyone is tired and cold, so it's better to slow down and replenish some energy.
The meal was already cooked, and as soon as they came down, someone brought hot water to wash their hands, and then boiling milk. The milk went down the throat, and everyone felt like they were finally alive. Wet clothes and pants were taken off, and most of the people were wrapped in quilts or sheets and fell on the sofa or chair. The task of cooking naturally fell to a few ordinary people who had already taken a break. This was a matter of course, and no one complained or was lazy. As for Zhang Yi, everyone has seen his situation, so naturally they won't care about it, not to mention that he really contributed a lot to being able to come here this time.
"Brother Yi, give me your legs." Nan Shao drank a glass of milk and sat next to Zhang Yi.
He hadn't rested since he entered the hotel. How could Zhang Yi ask him to do such a thing for him again, so he smiled and said, "No, I'm much better. Didn't you bring the sheets down? Take off your wet clothes." "
Nan Shao didn't believe him, so he reached into the quilt and pulled Zhang Yi's right leg. Zhang Yi was startled, and before he could shrink his legs, he was caught by his hand. "Hey, Nan Shao, I'm not wearing anything underneath. It's not good for Mu Ran to see me!" Although he said this, he still had to admit that his calf was really comfortable being held by that hot palm. .
Nan Shao froze for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand, "Then I'll help you rub it when you sleep." When he said this, what he was thinking about was that Zhang Yi only knew that he should avoid Li Muran, but he didn't know what to do best. It's yourself you're on guard against. So it became a little funny again. It seemed that even if I occasionally took advantage of him and had some small tofu, the other party would probably not notice.
In fact, if Zhang Yi hadn't mentioned it, almost everyone would have forgotten that there was a woman here. When he took off his clothes before, he had no scruples at all, but Li Muran avoided it himself. At this time, she was cooking in the kitchen, so Nan Shao was too lazy to change places and took off just a pair of underwear like the others. He got thin sheets. After all, it was air-conditioned and it wasn't cold in the restaurant.
Zhang Yi glanced at his almost naked body and praised: "Nice figure!"
With wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, perfect proportions and full of strength. Except for being a little thin due to malnutrition, he is really what most men yearn for. body shape.
A smile appeared on Nan Shao's lips, he wrapped himself in a sheet and sat down cross-legged. Zhang Ruiyang was in the best spirits. He was called to the kitchen by Li Muran, where he helped him run around and get something. Routa Chen and other ordinary people who could not help, went to get a lot of thick quilts and found a way to nail them to the glass windows to prevent the light inside from leaking out. By the time they finished their work, the meal was ready.
The dry rice with crystal clear grains and the hot pot soup in a large basin were placed directly on the firewood. Various soaked dried vegetables, vermicelli, noodles, lunch meat, sausages, ham, spicy meat, potatoes... everything that could be scavenged for cooking was poured into the soup basin. This meal was of great significance to them, so there was no saving. What's more, there are a lot of things in the hotel. Because of its location, it has not been visited by anyone yet, so it can fully afford a luxurious meal for a dozen of them.
Everyone threw away their arms and ate. The clothes inside were dried, so they naturally threw away the inconvenient quilts and sheets and put on their underwear. And more people directly wrap their lower bodies with sheets, or wrap them in strange shapes. In short, everything is based on the principle of making it easier to pick up food and grab rice. After the end of the world, even people with super powers like Qiao Yong have never had such a decent meal again, let alone others. Therefore, that kind of turbulent momentum made Xiao Yangyang look at him for a while. Fortunately, Meat Ta Chen, who was the most powerful in grabbing food, was still taking care of him, otherwise he would have not finished eating a piece of ham while others had already finished eating. As for Zhang Yi, although Nan Shao ordered him not to take off the quilt, the food in the bowl never decreased. As soon as he ate a corner, Nan Shao would immediately fill it up even higher. The swiftness of his movements and the elegance of his posture made it impossible for anyone to feel that he was competing with others for food. This ability not only surprised Zhang Yi, but also everyone else was surprised and admired.
After eating, my body really warmed up, so after cleaning up the mess, I boiled a few more pots of water, wiped my body casually, and then everyone went to the guest rooms to rest. As for other things, since we have to stay in this hotel for a while, we are not in a hurry to discuss them at this time. No one was assigned to keep watch, which was a sheer waste of manpower in this weather. Even if someone or a zombie does arrive, I'm afraid they won't notice it until the other party breaks in. So what's the difference between guarding and not guarding?
The air conditioner was turned on in the guest room, so it wasn't cold. However, because of what he said before, Nan Shao still asked Zhang Yi for a double bed room. Zhang Ruiyang heard that Uncle Pumpkin was going to rub his father's legs, so he obediently left with Aunt Muran. Zhang Yi still had something to do with Nan Shao, so he didn't stop him. The reason why he didn't sleep with Rou Ta Chen was because the guy didn't look good sleeping, and no one could trust Yang Yang to sleep with him. Before leaving, Zhang Yi thought for a moment and told Li Muran to lock the door. Although according to common sense, these people who are following will not do anything excessive in a short period of time, it never hurts to be more prepared. In fact, he didn't need to tell Li Muran to be careful.
"Are you attracted to her?" Nan Shao asked, half jokingly and half seriously. Thinking that Zhang Yi seemed to take special care of Li Muran, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"What nonsense! I'm fine. A little girl doesn't like you joking like this." Zhang Yi shook his head, "It's not easy for everyone in this world, especially women... No need to rub your legs, just help me warm them."
"Do you really have no idea at all?" Nan Shao didn't force himself. He reached out and turned off the light, lifted the quilt and lay next to Zhang Yi, sandwiched his right leg between her legs, and used her own body temperature to help him simmer. hot.
"Hmm...any ideas?" Maybe it's because his feelings and positioning towards Nan Shao have changed. Zhang Yi doesn't feel it's inappropriate to be so close, but he feels comfortable when his cold calves touch the other's hot skin. He snorted before remembering the issue he was talking about. "To me, she is just a little girl. If you like her, just chase her."
Chapter 49 Intimacy
"I like someone who is more heroic." Nan Shao said with a smile, his hands naturally placed on Zhang Yi's waist, and then he leaned towards him: "Brother Yi, your body is not good, even your son can't compare."
"Too close . "Yes." His actions matched his words, and they seemed very casual, making no difference. Zhang Yi didn't have any other ideas, but he still felt that the bed was so wide, and there was no need for the two of them to be so close.
"Warm." The corners of Nan Shao's lips rose silently in the darkness, but his voice was serious.
Zhang Yi was speechless. It was probably because the coldness in the rain was too harsh. It was actually not bad to have a body like a furnace simmering.
"Do you feel any changes in the plants?" As early as Nan Shao proposed to find a place without plants around, Zhang Yi had doubts in his heart. Later, he asked Qiao Yong to remove the dead potted plants. It was also burned, and this suspicion became more and more obvious.
After all, Nan Shao didn't dare to stick to Zhang Yi's body tightly, because he was afraid that he couldn't control it and would have a reaction again. It was okay to fall asleep. It was hard to explain that he was still awake now. Hearing Zhang Yi's question, he hummed and said, "Actually, it's just a feeling. Throughout the whole day, I feel that my surroundings are filled with a kind of vigorous vitality, but there is also a chill in the vitality. Occasionally, something will come to my mind. There are some strange scenes, all of which are pictures of plants entangling people... I hope none of this will happen." When
Zhang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel chilled. Zombies are already a headache. If they are discovered again. As plants mutate, the situation for humans will inevitably become more difficult.
"What can be done?" He whispered, as if asking Nan Shao, but also as if he was asking himself. If that were to happen, what could they do? Where else is safe?
"Don't think about it. Let's wait until tomorrow to get up. One person is against the enemy and everyone is against the enemy. This time, no one was injured and they all arrived here safely. It is obvious that it is not easy. If they are willing to work together, they may not be able to cope with it. The situation that will arise in the future. If..." If it is what, Nan Shao did not say. In fact, what he was thinking was that if those people cared about Zhang Yi's legs, Li Muran was a woman, and Zhang Ruiyang was a child and had no fighting ability, then they would naturally part ways. He didn't believe that they couldn't survive alone.
Zhang Yi hummed, adjusted his posture, and closed his eyes tiredly. There was no pursuit of Nan Shao's unfinished words. There were many things that had to happen before we knew how to deal with them, so why bother worrying about them first. All he wanted was to live with his son, and now there were a few more people from Nanshao. He was able to persevere on his own in the past, but now that they are supporting each other, it may not be that difficult.
The two had different thoughts, but they reached the same goal. They had unknowingly put things together, and several people with different origins became a whole that could advance and retreat together.
When I woke up the next day, I was still woken up by difficulty breathing. Seeing Nan Shao wrapped around his body like an octopus, Zhang Yi felt quite helpless, especially the hard object pressing against his waist. Although he didn't mind it too much, it was still a little embarrassing. However, it is undeniable that with Nanshao as a big heat source, the originally expected pain of being unable to fall asleep did not happen, and I still had a good night's sleep before I was woken up. So apart from the embarrassment, the most important thing in his heart was gratitude.
It was still dark, but voices and footsteps could be heard outside. The door was opened, and Zhang Ruiyang ran in and climbed onto the bed. He used the faint light leaking from the corridor to distinguish for a long time before finding his father. . When I said good morning to my father, I also kissed Nan Shao, who had already woken up when he came in.
"Daddy, does your leg still hurt?" This is what the child is most concerned about.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zhang Yi noticed that Nan Shao was awake, so he pushed him away and sat up. But when he remembered that his clothes must not be dry yet, he fell back and sighed dejectedly. "No clothes to wear."
"Yes, yes." Just as Nan Shao stretched and laughed, he heard Zhang Ruiyang reply repeatedly, and then the child climbed off the bed and ran out quickly.
"Nan Shao, do you think it's possible that Yangyang has awakened his superpower? Why do I think he's much better?" While waiting for his son to bring his clothes, Zhang Yi remembered his suspicions yesterday and asked the man lying next to him. Nan Shao.
Nan Shao was enjoying the laziness of a good night's sleep, and at the same time fantasizing about when he would be able to openly hold the man next to him under him and give him a lingering good morning kiss. When he heard Zhang Yi's question, he passed by. It took him a while to react, and he frowned slightly, "It's hard to say. Let's ask later." In fact, he felt that the possibility was unlikely. After all, he is a superpower himself. Although this superpower seems to be of little use in a short period of time, he is still quite sensitive to people who are also superpowers. The reason why he didn't deny it directly was because he didn't want to see Zhang Yi disappointed.
Zhang Yi hummed and lay there quietly, looking at the ceiling hidden in the shadows, not knowing what he was thinking. Nan Shao's head was very close to his, so close that they could almost feel their ears touching each other gently. The posture was very close, but not obscene, and filled with a feeling that even onlookers could feel. Come out of trust. As for themselves, they didn't notice it. They just thought it was normal, at least more normal than the entanglement of limbs when they first woke up.
However, such a peaceful and warm atmosphere was quickly broken by Routa Chen's loud voice. Zhang Yi leaned forward and turned on the bedside lamp. Routa Chen walked in with Xiao Yangyang, holding a thick stack of Thick clothes and pants. Nan Shao blinked, and then quickly pulled Zhang Yi into the bed. His movements were so fierce and abrupt that several men, including Zhang Yi, were stunned.
"What's wrong?" After a long while, Zhang Yicai asked inexplicably. He didn't know what Nan Shao meant, so he didn't move.
"It's cold." Nan Shao stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt tightly for him as if he was doing something completely normal. When others gave him weird looks, he added by the way: "Your legs are just right, don't be too cold." It hurts, it's a waste of time." Of course, the real reason is that Zhang Yi was only wearing a pair of underpants at this time, just to prevent the beauty from leaking. If Nan Shao knew that Zhang Yi took off his clothes last night with the help of Rou Ta Chen, he would probably have more than an understatement now.
"Brother Shao is so considerate." Routa Chen clicked his tongue, feeling sincerely. To be honest, they were all worried about Zhang Yi's legs, but there was nothing they could do. It would be good if Nan Shao could help take care of him a little more. "Brother Yi, just get dressed in bed and come out. These clothes were washed and dried by Mu Ran. Fortunately, there is electricity and the washing machine can still be used. Otherwise, so many people would have no clothes to wear. It would be such a scene. It's spectacular."
Zhang Yi naturally knew that his legs were not only a little troublesome, but also a drag on others, so he was not displeased by Nan Shao's actions and waited for the other party to tuck his autumn clothes into the quilt. He fumbled to put it on underneath, then got out of bed and put on the outer layer.
"Today we should clean up the entire hotel. I hope I can get some more Corpse Crystals so you can improve your abilities." He said as he went to find the spare toothbrush and toothpaste in the guest room, then opened the window and directly caught the rainwater to brush his teeth and wash his face. At the same time, I was thinking about the knife I made when I was crossing Central Street yesterday.
He didn't hear any noise at that time, but he just felt that he was in danger, so he swung the knife casually. It could be said that it was accidental, and there was even some luck involved. The knife hit the target with almost no effort, and he didn't even have to look back to confirm the result after drawing the knife. To this day, he can still recall the feeling of ease and certainty that he had never experienced before, whether it was killing zombies or fighting criminals. He thought that if he could capture that state, he would probably be able to clean up the zombies in the entire hotel by himself.
Chapter 50 Team
"Brother Yi...Brother Yi?"
came the shout of Rou Ta Chen from behind, Zhang Yi came back from his thoughts, drank some water to rinse the foam from his mouth, wiped his mouth with a towel and asked: "What's wrong? "
There are so many good things hidden in the cave behind the house we rent in the town. Why don't you find a chance to go back to the town? Living in the cave may be safer than other places." Routa Chen listened to Zhang Yi and the others. I have talked about the possibility of Wangyang Town being flooded, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Thinking of the materials in that big cave being thrown there, I feel a twinge of pain.
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Zhang Yi wiped his face and said not so carelessly. "If everything is fine in Wangyang Town and we can leave the city, of course we have to go back." As for Nan Shao's words that the plants might mutate, he didn't say it. After all, even if he said this before it was confirmed, it would only suddenly make the other party more aware of it. Too many people are just worried and it doesn't help. As for the cave, he is not optimistic. If Wangyang Town is really flooded, there is no guarantee that someone will not flee to the back mountain for refuge. It is possible that the cave has been discovered by others.
It was probably a premonition that they had little chance of going back. Routa Chen said angrily, "I'll go down first, Mu Ran is cooking, I have to watch, don't let anyone bully her." After saying that, he said hello to Nan Shao, who originally wanted to take him with him It's a pity that the little guy forgot about Fat Uncle after he had a father. He was unwilling to leave, so in the end he left alone.
"Yangyang, do you have any powers?" Zhang Yi found the opportunity to ask his son at this time.
"Ah?" Zhang Ruiyang looked at him in confusion, his face full of confusion.
While squeezing out the toothpaste, Nan Shao looked back at the father and son, then lowered his eyes and concentrated on brushing his teeth. His long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow under his eyes.
Zhang Yi sat on the bed, pulled his son over, and explained patiently: "Just like Uncle Mustache, who can make fireballs, and Uncle Nanshao, who can make seeds germinate, or send out lightning, and make water droplets..." He said to himself He described all the superpowers and mutations he knew about, and then looked calm, but in his heart he looked at his son expectantly and nervously, waiting for an answer.
"No." Zhang Ruiyang shook his head, and then laughed happily: "I can do this." As he said that, he raised one foot, spread his hands, and made a flying bird posture. Astonishingly, it is one of the movements of Crane Opera in Wu Qin Xi.
Zhang Yi raised his hand to touch his forehead and was speechless. Naturally, he was a little disappointed, but it was not particularly serious. As long as his son was in good health, it was more important to him than anything else.
"He is still young, and even if he has powers, he still won't be able to use them. And he has been training since he was a child, and he will be very powerful even if he doesn't have powers." Nan Shao walked out of the bathroom, rubbed Zhang Ruiyang's head, and said He praised: "It looks pretty good." Zhang Ruiyang smiled so hard that his eyes turned into moons.
This was just a small episode before breakfast, and overall it didn't have much impact.
Li Muran did not make breakfast alone, but two ordinary people also helped. Because he ate a lot last night, he only cooked a big pot of porridge and fried pancakes. Even so, it was better than before. Much better. During breakfast, everyone got to know each other.
There are seventeen people in total, nine of them have superpowers, including Nan Shao who has wood superpowers, Roota Chen who has mutated speed, and Li Muran who doesn't know what superpowers he has. The rest are all unawakened people. . Even Qiao Yong was a little surprised. Except for Zhang Yi and his son, the five members of the Yangyang team all had superpowers or mutations. Although its function is hard to say, at first glance, it can still scare people. Among the eight unawakened people, Yangyang is still young and Zhang Yi is lame. Among the other six people, except for a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old and a bald young man in his twenties who looks a bit like a monk, the rest are all three. A forty-year-old man in his prime. Zhao Chun, who was leading the way, looked to be in his thirties.
Zhang Ruiyang stared at a pretty good-looking man for a long time, until he looked embarrassed. Just when he was wondering if he had offended this kid somewhere, he heard the little guy yell out: "I recognize you, you are Awu's father." Maybe he was too excited, but he, who was always very polite, didn't even call him uncle.
Everyone was surprised and confused, but the man relaxed and explained with a smile. It turned out that his name was Liang Guanlun, and he was a popular movie star and singer before the end of the world. The Awu mentioned by Zhang Ruiyang was actually his son in a TV series he acted in. That TV series is very popular among female viewers, ranging from eight to eighty years old... Of course, he himself did not go into such detail, but even though everyone here has not seen it, they have heard of the name of this show. of. Zhang Ruiyang apparently watched this TV series when he was with his grandma.
"My wife and daughter would always compete with me to watch the show, and eventually kicked me out of the house." A man recalled, laughing at first, and then suddenly burst into tears.
Everyone fell silent, most of them were adult men, and the unmarried ones were in the minority after all. Not to mention they had no wives and children, but they also had parents and brothers, no parents and brothers, and friends and colleagues. But now they are the only ones who have come here. They usually do it for I rarely think about life, but now a piece of chat that seemed ordinary in the past brought back the tragic and sad past. Arriving at the hotel safely, the satisfaction of having a full meal and a good night's sleep couldn't help but weaken a lot. What's the point of living like this when my family and friends are gone and I have to run and hide like a mouse?
"Amitabha!" A deep Buddha's name rescued everyone from their depressed mood. The bald young man wearing a clean down jacket and jeans clasped his hands together and lowered his eyes and said: "If you donors are discouraged, please take refuge. I'm a Buddha."
Qiao Yong suddenly raised his beard and kicked him. The young man didn't raise his eyes, but as if he could see, he jumped away quickly, and then looked at Qiao Yong with a smile: "Donor Qiao, how can
you be so rude?" "Little monk, stop talking nonsense here. " Confusing the crowd!" Qiao Yong said angrily.
Unexpectedly, the young man was really a monk. Others were a little surprised, but before they could ask, Qiao Yong spoke again: "It's not easy to live until now. Live well and don't think about the things you have and don't have." Then he mentioned it. Things to do about cleaning the hotel and how everyone will get along in the future.
"It's fate that we all come together. There is no need to distinguish between those with superpowers and those with non-superpowers. Everyone can do their best. If you are willing, we can work together in the future to get through this plagued apocalypse. If you don't want to, you can't. Reluctantly, as long as we don't do stupid things, we will still be friends in this hotel. It's up to you to decide where you want to go and what forces you want to join after leaving." At this point, he glanced at everyone, his eyes were indescribable. of majesty. "Let's express our stance now. Everyone has an idea."
Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked at each other, and then looked at Li Muran's meat tower Chen. Seeing that they had no objection, they smiled and said: "My legs are inconvenient. , and a son who is quite troublesome..." Zhang Ruiyang raised his head and looked at his father in confusion, wondering when he was in trouble.
Qiao Yong waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't say this, just say yes or no. If anyone minds, of course you don't have to agree to join." After a pause, he thought it would be better to explain his thoughts. : "No one knows whether he will be injured or disabled while running for his life. If he is abandoned by his teammates... why should I say that we can live a good life together, just Shi San and I."
He said this For my sake, some people feel that this is indeed the case and agree without thinking, while others are still thinking about it. Then someone said: "Of course there is no problem with Brother Yi and Zhang Xiaoyang, but Boss Qiao, you have to make it clear first. If you encounter some survivors who have no abilities in the future, do you want them to be included in the team regardless of whether they are good or bad? If so, If so, then I won't join. I don't want to work hard to support some idle people."
In fact, this is what Zhang Yi and others want to ask. The four of them have developed quite a tacit understanding. Their strength is not strong in the apocalypse, but it is not too bad either. However, if they are asked to bear the lives of others, they do not have the ability or the heart. Of course, if the other party is willing to work hard, they will not hesitate to help if they are able. It's like before leaving the community, no matter whether others believe it or not, they still went to remind them.
Qiao Yong was silent for a moment, and then said: "Of course not. After today, everyone will be a team. To accept new people, everyone must agree. If you violate this point, your legs will grow on you, and no one will Can stop it."
"Okay, let's join." Hearing this, Zhang Yi spoke. The man who asked the question didn't raise any objections, and one after another, the rest of the people agreed.
"Can I join?" Just when Qiao Yong had a smile on his face and wanted to discuss with everyone how to manage the newly formed small team in the future, a voice suddenly interrupted.
The crisp, sweet sound is reminiscent of the crisp, sweet red apples often eaten before the end of the world. It was obviously a wonderful feeling, but the people who were eating pancakes, drinking porridge and talking could not help but feel their scalps numb, their backs trembled, and their faces showed guarded looks. Looking back, a girl was standing not far away, at a safe distance. The girl is wearing a red down jacket, tight jeans, small leather boots, and a ponytail. She has crystal fair skin and delicate eyebrows. Not to mention in the apocalypse, even before the apocalypse, she is extremely eye-catching.
Zhang Yinanshao and Li Muran recognized this girl at a glance. She was the young rich man who had spent a lot of money to buy the medicine they got back from the hospital. Speaking of which, this girl helped them, but unfortunately the remaining corpse crystals left in the rented house were left in the house in the town and were probably going to be lost. However, they did not speak. The first thing they learned in the last days was to be defensive.
"I'm very sorry for showing up so unexpectedly. In fact, I got here before you. I live on the top floor. I saw you were busy yesterday, so I didn't bother you." The girl behaved very politely, and due to her appearance, she quickly let him go. Many people had a good impression in their hearts. "I happened to overhear your conversation when I came down just now. I was so anxious that I couldn't help but take the liberty to inquire. I am a space superpower, and I am also a mutant of both strength and speed. I will definitely not hold you back." At this moment, she glanced at Zhang Yi and Nan Shao, showing a friendly and familiar smile.
