CHAPTER XXIV
In a peaceful life, there may be people dying in a corner every moment, but this has nothing to do with other people, and human beings in the last days do not have so many emotions to think about those sad things.
Wang Nuoxiao and others have been in the safety zone of City C for more than two months, and they have always been safe and quiet.
Summer is here, but there is not much greenery in the safe area of City C. Only the increasingly sultry air makes people feel irritable.
The story of the mutant meat was spread shortly after they came to the safe zone, and soon, not surprisingly, the status of ordinary people was falling again and again, and there had been many riots, but they were all easily suppressed by the safe zone by force.
Although it doesn't seem to be worth mentioning, but a discerning person can see that the safety zone of City C at this time is like a spark buried under the incense ash in the incense burner, which has not yet ignited.
In this sullen summer, even Wang Ming's cultivation momentum was interrupted, and his body was tired of holding a corpse crystal and absorbing it slowly, no longer exercising, but studying the skills of using abilities. Hong Jialu and her best friend, Mrs. Sun, spend all day tinkering with all kinds of natural skin care products at home - there are no sunscreen lotions now, and it is difficult to find the ones they like when they wander the streets, and they are in full swing with lemon, honey, cucumber and other skin care foods.
Wang Nuoxiao simply hid in the space and resolutely refused to come out until he had a meal.
But they don't like to get into trouble, but they always like to find them.
According to the prediction of the security zone, the zombies have gathered and a huge number has been formed, and due to geographical reasons, the safety zones of cities C and B will face a zombie tide!
No one knows exactly when the zombies will come, but this news has put everyone in the safe zone of City C at risk, and the safe zone has also begun to recruit strangers.
Recruitment, conscription, or conscription...... They don't know if City B is doing the same thing, but that's what they want to do in City C anyway.
Almost the vast majority of the supernatural people have to join the defense war of the zombie tide, and those who can't be recruited are forcibly recruited, and this turmoil inevitably hits Wang Nuoxiao and others.
"Knock, knock, knock!" there was a knock on the door.
"Here we are. ”
Hong Jialu, who was mopping the floor, put down the mop and ran over to open the door, thinking that Mrs. Sun had come to find her. They have been here for so long, and they haven't even come back to those special forces, except for Mrs. Sun, no one else has come.
"Why did you come at this time...... Who are you?"
Hong Jialu said in surprise.
There was a man in military uniform standing at the door, a major, and he said politely: "Hello, Mrs. Hong, I am here to find Wang Nuoxiao, a spatial ability, and Wang Mingxuan, a thunder ability, is it convenient now?"
"Oh......" Hong Jialu opened the door, "Please come in, I'll call them." ”
The Major walked in.
"Wang Minglin, come out, someone in the security zone is looking for you. Hong Jialu knocked on Wang Mingling's door, knowing that Wang Nuoxiao probably wouldn't open the door, and she was usually looking for Wang Minglin for anything.
Wang Minglin opened the door when he heard the sound.
"This is the man who wants to see you. Hong Jialu said.
Wang Minglin frowned and looked at this uninvited guest, with a bad premonition in his heart.
"I'm going to pour you a glass of water. Hong Jialu said, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Wang Minglin said to the major, "Is there anything you want to do with us?"
"Hello, you're the thunder powerhouse, Wang Minglin. I'm the person in charge of the Safe Zone assignment for this zombie wave recruiting Ability, and I'm here to hope that you and another Space Ability can be one of them. The major said.
"It turned out to be for this. I'm sorry, I didn't count, please wait a minute, I'm going to call Nuo Shao to come over. Wang Mingling's tone was a little cold.
The major choked, Wang Minglin walked to the door of Wang Nuoxiao's room, and knocked lightly, "Nuo Shao, Nuo Shao." ”
"Huh?"
After a while, there was a voice in the room.
"Someone from the safe zone has recruited the Stranger, and wants us to fend off the zombie horde. He said.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the door was opened.
The major saw a young man come out of the room, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans, his skin was not at all sallow like ordinary people, and his skin was as white as a jade carving. She seemed to have just showered, her hair was still wet, the white towel was still on her shoulders, and a pair of black eyes swept over him: "Safe zone?"
"Yes. He immediately answered.
"Okay, I got it. ”
Wang Nuoxiao patted Hong Jialu, who poured water for them, on the shoulder: "Auntie, go find Mrs. Sun." ”
Hong Jialu nodded, and went to the next door with her slippers.
The door was closed by her, and Wang Nuoxiao sat on the sofa in the living room and made a gesture to the major to sit.
"You're recruiting Strangers everywhere now?" Wang Nuoxiao wiped his hair with a towel and asked casually.
"That's right. The Major nodded, "This zombie tide is very powerful, and if we rely on the strength of the army alone, the safe zone will definitely fall, so we need to recruit the Strangers to fight off the zombie tide with us." Both of them have powerful abilities, and we need you to join us. ”
"Well, let's not talk about these things anymore, I want to know more about what we will get if we agree, the safe zone will not let us work for nothing without food. What good would it do if we agreed to the call-up?" Wang said.
"Chief Xu personally agrees, as long as the two agree, one should ask, as long as it does not violate the moral bottom line, rules and regulations, and within the scope of the safety zone, all can be done!" the major aggravated his tone and threw out tempting conditions.
Wang Ming was speechless.
Wang Nuoxiao just hooked the corners of her mouth, and she didn't react to this kind of atmospheric words, she asked Wang Minglin on the side with a smile: "Wang Mingling, do you have anything you want? Think about what you need, if you miss this opportunity, you won't have it." ”
"Well......" Wang Minglin thought seriously, "I don't need anything, except for improving my strength quickly, I don't lack anything." Speaking of which, he already understood Wang Nuoxiao's thoughts.
"Then what will Aunt Hong want?" Wang Nuoxiao continued to ask.
"My aunt doesn't have any pursuits other than wanting to make good cosmetics. He replied.
Wang Nuoxiao frowned innocently with his chin: "I don't want anything either!"
Yes, they don't lack anything, what Chief Xu said, it does sound like unlimited power, and there is no problem with what you want to eat and drink. But they don't need it, and it's useless. It's as if they already have a treasure trove, and another bag of gold from someone else is just the icing on the cake, but it's just dispensable.
What's more, not to mention the danger of the zombie tide, whether they have this life to enjoy, this order is enough for them to become the attention of the whole safety zone, which is equivalent to tying them to that Chief Xu.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, how could Wang Nuoxiao not see through this little conspiracy.
Hearing Wang Nuoxiao's refusal, the major had already prepared, and said slowly: "In this case, Chief Xu will hold a banquet at home tonight, and specially invite the two of them to participate, and I hope to appreciate his face." I hope you'll change your mind when the time comes. If not, the chief would also like to get to know the two young talents. With that, he put an invitation on the table and pushed it to Wang Nuoxiao.
…… And the Hongmen banquet is waiting for them?
Wang Minglin looked at Wang Nuoxiao, saw that she was silent for a moment when she heard the words, bent down to accept the invitation, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I can only attend Chief Xu's banquet alone, Wang Minglin must stay at home with Aunt Hong, and I don't worry about Aunt Hong." ”
"No, little. ”
Wang Minglin shouted.
Wang Nuoxiao has always been for the purpose of cultivating and exercising Wang Ming's purlin, and he will take him with him in everything, and try to let him participate as much as possible, and this is the first time to keep him.
Wang Nuoxiao's eyes were horizontal, and he immediately forbidden.
"Then, why don't you let Mrs. Hong go too, the chief will definitely treat her with courtesy!" said the major.
"No need, no need to say more, my aunt is just an ordinary person, it's better not to go to that kind of banquet. Wang Nuoxiao took a sip of water, put down the water glass, stood up and said, "Tonight, please reply to Chief Xu, I will definitely go." ”
Seeing that her attitude could not be refused, the major had no choice but to get up and say goodbye and go back to report to Chief Xu.
As soon as he sent the people away, Wang Minglin opened his mouth to ask for an explanation: "Why don't you let me go?"
Wang Nuoxiao threw him a corner of the eye and said, "Didn't you hear, Auntie can't be at home alone, you stay with her, it's not a good place to be there, don't join in the fun." ”
"Since they didn't come with good intentions, don't you go?"
Wang Nuoxiao smiled and said, "It's really stupid...... I can't help but go to this banquet, if I don't go, I don't dare to save face for Chief Xu, which is tantamount to offending him, and I want to mix well in the future. I need to go and explain it to him in person. ”
"Yes...... But," he stammered: "Why can't you take me with you, if you are really worried about your aunt's safety, let her stay at Sun's house for one night." ”
When Wang Nuoxiao heard this, he knocked on Wang Ming's head, and said angrily: "If it weren't for me, my aunt would have to let you push you into the fire pit! Do you think the Sun family is safe? Or will the Sun family protect your aunt?"
"What do you mean? Sun Family...... Will the Sun family be unfavorable to us?" Wang Ming's heart sank.
Wang Nuoxiao glanced at him meaningfully.
“……”
Looking at the young man's inexplicable eyes, he was speechless, and the depths of his eyes were cold.
“…… Okay, I know, I'll protect my aunt and wait with her for you to come back. ”
Wang Minglin closed his eyes and opened them again, having returned to his usual calm appearance.
Wang Nuoxiao nodded and instructed: "Remember, after I leave, no matter what happens, you all have to be together, wait for me at home, and don't contact anyone again." If someone breaks in and controls your movements, don't resist, protect yourself, but don't allow them to be presumptuous!"
"Understood!"
Wang Nuoxiao sighed lightly, she didn't have any bad feelings about the safety zone, nor did she have any sense of faithful belonging, everything was based on mutual benefit.
If only nothing had happened this time, if she did something that provoked her...... Don't blame her for being too dark.
