The management of this black gas station is naturally very irregular, Qin Qin and his wife found some oil drums in the small warehouse next to the convenience store, most of which were filled with oil, probably for the long-distance drivers to spare on the road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After refueling and having a light lunch, the two hit the road again. The community where Zhou Beichen's father lives is in the eastern district of Guancheng City, and the community has not been built recently, but it is very popular, and its name is Linxi Jiayuan. The more he went to the community, the more abandoned vehicles there were on the road, and after several detours, Zhou Beichen had to admit in frustration that the two of them could only move forward on foot.

At this time, there were still three intersections from the Linxi community, Qin Qin put the car into the system backpack, looked ahead with a bitter face, sighed, clenched the weapon in his hand and stepped forward to open the road.

Zhou Beichen felt a little sorry in his heart, but Qin Qin's face was depressed and worried, but he never showed regret or complaint. He pursed his lips, stepped forward quickly, stood diagonally behind Qin Qin, and used his fire-based ability to bring down the zombies that pounced from a distance one by one, and some of them that were too late to deal with were blocked by Qin Qin and solved in close combat. Every time one or two waves of zombies were killed, the two would stop and rest for a while, Qin Qin was in charge of guarding, and Zhou Beichen turned back to collect crystal nuclei.

Although this road is badly blocked, there are not too many zombies, and someone should have cleaned it up before. From time to time, there will be some stumps, broken arms and broken bodies of zombies on the side of the road, so that Qin Qin has to be vigilant at all times, for fear that a zombie that is not dead will crawl over and sneak attack.

Zhou Beichen no longer saves abilities, and the fireballs are constantly being released outward. After all, there is a chrysanthemum tea that can replenish the ability as a supplement, as long as the ability is not consumed too quickly, the cooldown time of chrysanthemum tea for half an hour is much less than the cooldown time of special foods that replenish blood and energy.

After more than an hour, the two finally arrived at Linxi Jiayuan. Standing at the door of the community, Zhou Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. The Linxi community used to be very well greened, with six high-rise buildings scattered among small green spaces, woodlands and several babbling streams. Today, most of the precious greenery has withered due to the lack of care from the gardener, and the lawn is also withered and yellow, shivering in the autumn wind. The stream has long since dried up, leaving only the pebbled bottom of the stream filled with dead branches and leaves.

At a glance, Qin Qin didn't see any moving bodies, and some of the zombies that died on the side of the road looked like they had been dead for a while, and the corpses began to decompose again. Zhou Beichen pointed to the left front and said, "Qinqin, my father's family lives on the top floor of that building. ”

Qin Qin didn't notice the awkwardness in Zhou Beichen's words, she just tilted her head and looked at the light-colored building that looked shining in the sunlight, tears glistening.

Qin Qin panted and followed Zhou Beichen up the stairs, at first he remembered climbing to a few floors, and after reaching the tenth floor, he was completely dizzy. The stairwell is quiet, and occasionally one or two zombies can be seen, seemingly killed by residents trying to go downstairs.

Finally arrived at the destination, Zhou Beichen first carefully checked the surroundings of the gate, sighed after finding that there was no message note, and knocked lightly on the door. The wooden door on the inner floor was slammed open, revealing an anxious woman's face.

The woman looked to be in her early forties, and she should have been well-maintained, with almost no wrinkles on her face. But the recent period of starvation and fear still greatly damaged her face, making her whole person look haggard and languid, and her hair and clothes looked very greasy. She opened the door and called out urgently: "Lao Zhou, Tianliang, you didn't ......?" ”

She stopped halfway through the words, looked at Zhou Beichen outside the door in some surprise, her lips trembled slightly, and she squeezed out a sentence after a while: "It's Beichen, it's unfortunate that you came, your father and younger brother went out at noon." ”

Zhou Beichen originally stared at the woman with a complicated expression, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed, he didn't care about greetings, he suddenly stepped forward, and asked anxiously: "Where did they go?" Tell me quickly! ”

The woman didn't expect Zhou Beichen to be so excited, she was scared to take a step back through the outer security door, she calmed down, and then said: "They originally planned to go to the commercial street outside the south gate of the community to have a look, but they haven't come back after three hours." I'm afraid most of them went somewhere else because they didn't find food there. ”

"I'll go find them." Zhou Beichen dropped this sentence and quickly pulled Qin Qin downstairs. Qin Qin looked up at the woman when she ran to the turn of the stairs, but found that she was lying tightly on the inside of the security door, staring at Zhou Beichen's figure with a pair of eyes, and the expression on her face was indistinguishable from anger.

Qin Qin didn't know much about Zhou Beichen's family, only that his mother died early, his father remarried a wife, and brought a younger brother with his mother's surname. Zhou Beichen has always been secretive about his family and has hardly mentioned it.

Qin Qin once guessed that this was probably because Beichen had a bad relationship with his stepmother, so he was estranged from his father. Now it seems that the woman's eyes are indeed not very close to Zhou Beichen, but Zhou Beichen is quite concerned about his father, and this impulse has changed his usual calm and gentle appearance. Qin Qin was thinking nonsense as she ran downstairs with Zhou Beichen.

Gradually, Zhou Beichen slowed down, as if talking to himself: "Why is this happening? I had already warned him to hide at home, listen to the radio at any time, and drive there as soon as he learned where the shelter was, just leave me a message. But why did they stay at home? Since you didn't leave, why didn't you hide well, why did you run out again? This is exactly the same as the situation in the previous life, can't I change his fate at all? ”

Qin Qin listened to Zhou Beichen's muttering, and probably guessed that he was referring to Beichen's father. Maybe in the previous life, Beichen's father had an accident when he was out with his younger brother, so Beichen was so worried.

Qin Qin didn't know what to say, and now the fate of those two people was uncertain, and their whereabouts were unknown. One of them is Zhou Beichen's father, and the other is also the younger brother who grew up with Beichen, even if the relationship is cold on weekdays, but after all, they are flesh and blood relatives and deep brotherhood, and now no matter what words of comfort they say, they seem empty and pale.

Qin Qin pursed her lips tightly and squeezed Zhou Beichen's hand hard.

Zhou Beichen seemed to feel Qin Qin's concern, and turned his head to reveal a somewhat reluctant smile. His voice was hoarse, with indescribable bitterness: "Qinqin, I'm so sorry. My father and brother didn't know where they had gone, so they seemed to be looking for it slowly. If you're tired, you might as well stay in this neighborhood, it looks clean and there are no zombies. ”

Qin Qin feigned anger and said, "Zhou Beichen, what are you talking about!" Wherever you go, I'll be with you, that's the vow I once made! ”
