Chapter 162: Late Autumn (The Third Crazy Diamond Quest)
Hearing the voice from the other side, Chen Yuan symbolically glanced up at Qin Pei, "Who are you?"
Qin Pei's eyes were full of hostility, and he said word by word: "I'm asking you, are you Yuki's boyfriend?"
Chen Yuan didn't care about Qin Pei's emotions at all, he smiled casually, and said, "Yes or no, does it have anything to do with you?"
Qin Pei slammed the table hard, and then the whole person stood up. He looked at Chen Yuan angrily, his right fist clenched, "I don't care if you are or not, from now on, you stay away from her, do you understand?"
Qin Pei's sudden anger startled Chen Yuqing, she stood up in front of Chen Yuan, and said to Qin Pei with a gloomy face: "Qin Pei, are you crazy? I will tell you solemnly again, he is my boyfriend, if you dare to touch him, I will never let you go!"
Chen Yuqing's words were like a basin of cold water, which suddenly extinguished the anger in Qin Pei's heart. Qin Pei looked at Chen Yuqing's eyes and slowly let go of his fist. He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled with a complicated expression, he turned his head to look at Chen Yuan, "Is this trash, your boyfriend......?" he shook his head as he spoke, and then walked out of the reading room.
Chen Yuan sat in place and looked at Chen Yuqing, who was a little angry next to him, and poked her waist.
"Ah, what are you doing!"
"Everyone is gone, what are you still angry about?"
Chen Yuqing sat down angrily, "I hate their behavior of not taking other people seriously." ”
"What's this, you just treat him as air. ”
"How can that be done!" Chen Yuqing was indignant, "Whether you are my boyfriend or not, I can't let him say that about you." ”
Chen Yuan smiled, "I don't feel anything as a client, but you are more excited than me." ”
Chen Yuqing looked at Chen Yuan and blinked, "It means that you have a good temper." ”
Chen Yuan shook his head, "I'm just too lazy to pay attention to him, otherwise I'll go and beat him up now, and then throw him out to feed the zombies?"
"Don't scare me!" Chen Yuqing glanced at him, and then her expression became softer, "Thank you for not doing anything with him just now." ”
Chen Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "You have stood up in front of me, and I am not stupid." ”
"Well, thank you for today. Chen Yuqing looked at Chen Yuan seriously and repeated, "Thank you very much." ”
"What are you doing so politely? Chen Yuan waved his hand, "I didn't do anything, but your friend is quite arrogant, is he very capable of fighting?"
"It should be okay, going to school will always cause trouble, but mainly because he is rich and powerful, so there are many people who do things for him. But ......"
"But what?"
Chen Yuqing pursed her lips, and suddenly recalled the scene of Chen Yuan's murder in Jialing, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. But she didn't know what she was afraid of, she knew that Chen Yuan couldn't hurt her, maybe it was just a simple instinctive reaction.
She thought for a moment and replied softly, "But he's definitely not your opponent, I'm really a little afraid that you will beat him up and throw him out to feed the zombies." ”
"So you're thinking about him?"
"Of course not, I don't want you to have one more blood debt on your hands!"
"Tut-tut, that's a nice thing to say. ”
Chen Yuqing smiled shallowly, and then put the book in his hand back on the shelf, "Don't be poor with you, I'm going to play with Xiao Ning." ”
"Well, I hope you don't get too badly abused today. ”
"I'd love to!"
"Hey, wait a minute. ”
"How?"
Chen Yuan's gaze flickered on Chen Yuqing's legs, "Will you change your stockings tomorrow?"
"You think this is my home! It's good to find one for me to wear for you, and pick one!"
"Okay, okay, okay. ”
After separating from Chen Yuqing, there was still a short time before dinner began. Chen Yuan didn't have much to do, so he walked around the park outside the municipal building alone. Due to the sudden annihilation of the first and third teams, the heavy responsibility of helping the guards to participate in the patrol was concentrated on the second team.
In this way, the pressure to be responsible for security defense is naturally much greater, but fortunately, after looking around, I did not find any potential dangers.
Just as he was about to return to Building No. 1, Chen Yuan met Luo Xiu, who was walking from the other direction.
The two of them simply said hello and naturally stood together.
Luo Xiu glanced at Chen Yuan, "Are you also worried about the fortifications of the shelter?"
"After all, there are so many people in the first and third teams, so I still have to worry a little. ”
Chen Yuan said as he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, and then handed it to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu shook his head, "I don't smoke, thank you." ”
"It's good not to smoke, it's good for your body. ”
Facing Luo Xiu, Chen Yuan didn't have much to say to him, so he said a word indiscriminately, and he began to carefully taste the cigarette in his hand. He planned to go back to the building when he was done.
The two of them just stood silent.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows longer and longer.
Chen Yuan flicked off a small piece of cigarette ash, and Luo Xiu's voice finally drifted along the wind.
"I've been thinking about the question of why everyone died, but you survived. ”
After saying that, he smiled, "It's a pretty silly question, and there may not be an answer, but I still want to ask you." He turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan tightly with bright eyes.
This was probably the first time Chen Yuan saw Luo Xiu laughing, so he didn't answer his question, but subconsciously said, "So you can laugh too?"
Luo Xiu nodded and motioned for Chen Yuan to continue.
Chen Yuan raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Like you said, this is indeed a pretty stupid question. And I really can't give you an answer. There are too many things in this world that can't be explained, whether it is the former Jialing or the current Lanchuan, millions of people in these two cities have died because of the appearance of zombies. But you and I are still alive and well, can you tell why?"
Luo Xiu turned his gaze to the setting sun that was fading into the horizon in the distance, and he was still silent.
Chen Yuan took the last puff of his cigarette, "If I have to say it, maybe I want to live more than others." Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, he turned and walked to the lobby of Building One.
Luo Xiu stayed where he was, quietly waiting for the night to fall, and after a long time, he said to himself, "Do you want to live more......
Over the next few days, as the casualties of the first and third teams spread, the survivors throughout the shelter became somewhat panicked.
Fortunately, Ren Jinghua held a meeting in time and carried out various reassurances, which stabilized everyone's mood.
After breakfast that day, Chen Yuan was called to a small conference room for a meeting.
According to Ren Jinghua's meaning, although winter has not yet arrived, the temperature in Lanchuan is getting lower and lower. Although the rescue team promised to come and deliver supplies as soon as possible and evacuate the survivors in batches, that day had not yet arrived. So now it's up to the search team to figure it out.
Chen Yuan and Luo Xiu naturally understood what he meant, and without saying anything, they began to prepare for the specific matters of setting off to search for supplies the next day. Because there is no one, two, or three teams now, Chen Yuan took Mi Le and Luo Xiu's second team to form a new search team. As for Yang Wanli, Chen Yuan always felt that he could only go out with peace of mind by leaving him in the shelter to be responsible for the safety of Shen Jingyuan and others.
The position of the captain of the search team, Chen Yuan gave up to Luo Xiu without care. In the first place, he never had any idea about this position, and he became the captain of the third team in order to sneak into the small conference room. Second, most of the people in the search team still have more feelings for Luo Xiu, so it will be more convenient for him to lead the team.
In the afternoon, Chen Yuan went to the material room to ask Uncle Jin about the materials.
Uncle Jin smiled kindly, "If you have a chance, you can go out and get some rice noodles tomorrow and come back, there are many people in our shelter, and the consumption is quite fast." ”
"Okay, anything else you need?"
"Don't use anything else, don't work too hard, safety first. ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Kim. ”
Uncle Jin took out a Ninety-Five Venerable and handed it to Chen Yuan, and he also ordered one and drew it, "When I think of something like that happening to the first team and the third team, I feel really uncomfortable." ”
At this time, Chen Yuan didn't know what to say, so he took a few puffs of cigarettes in silence, and said, "Don't think about those Uncle Jin, at least we still have cigarettes to smoke, right?"
Uncle Jin nodded, "Okay, at least we still have cigarettes now, that's right." He patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, "You kid is not an ordinary person, the future will definitely be limitless." ”
Chen Yuan smiled, "There are still zombies all over the ground now, as long as you can live well." ”
After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Chen Yuan said goodbye to Uncle Jin and went back to the room early to rest.
Uncle Jin watched Chen Yuan's back disappear at the top of the stairs, and his originally peaceful eyes gradually became sharp and gloomy.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuan lay on the ground and thought about all kinds of things that might happen when he acted tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a while, he vaguely heard someone calling his name at the door. The voice was so soft that he thought he had misheard. Until Yao Zhijie patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Brother Yuan, someone called you at the door." He sat up slowly from the bunk.
While rubbing his hair, he looked down the doorway.
Under the strong light of the incandescent lamp, the girl who looked like a porcelain doll stood motionless. The face that was enough to captivate the city seemed to glow with bursts of white light because it was too white and translucent. She looked at Chen Yuan quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, like a holy flower.
It turned out to be Gu Yan......
Chen Yuan hurriedly got up from the floor and walked over to her.
"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
She tilted her head slightly, and instead of answering, she asked another question.
"Did I disturb your rest?"
Her voice is still so ethereal and clear, even if it is just a simple sentence, it will make people feel extremely pure and peaceful.
