4. Partnering

"Liang Qi Wu Yang! Are you alright? โ€

After Yi Miao climbed up the rope ladder to the second floor, she saw Liang Qi and they were warmly welcomed, several young men and women surrounded them in the middle, and one of them, a very beautiful girl, was holding Liang Qi with one hand and Wu Yang with the other hand and asking with a worried face.

Yi Miao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of these people.

Several of the young boys had a hint of surprise in their eyes after seeing Yi Miao's face.

"This is Yi Miao." Zhang Liangyi introduced with a smile.

"What about Zeng Yong?" Suddenly, someone asked.

Then the atmosphere that had been warm and harmonious just now instantly cooled down, and the person who asked this question was also silent.

"Did you find the medicine?" Another asked.

Liang Qi shook his head: "No." Only a little bit of supplies were found. โ€

Zeng Yong stayed in the alley with the backpack on his body, and the others were not packed with too many things in a panic at that time, and the backpacks were not stuffed.

"What then? The fever in the small state has not subsided. The beautiful girl from before said with a worried face.

"It's fine." Wu Yang shook the girl's hand lightly.

"Let's go up first." Liang Qi didn't seem to see the interaction between Wu Yang and the girl, and then nodded at Yi Miao and motioned for her to follow her.

The sixth floor is where they live. The partition in the middle of the house has not yet been made, so the entire sixth floor is completely connected except for a few pillars, and the cement floor that has not yet been tidied is covered with quilts or some messy clothes, and some of the older elders are sitting or lying down, and when they see them coming back, they immediately surround them.

Including Liang Qi, there are almost more than 20 people, and these middle-aged people are the parents and relatives of these young people.

"It's not hurt, is it?" Wu Yang's mother asked anxiously after hugging Wu Yang.

Wu Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine." โ€

"Look, Auntie, I knew that Wu Yang would come back safely!" The beautiful girl said to Wu Yang's mother with a smile. Wu Yang's mother glanced at her angrily again, complained again, and at the same time looked at Liang Qi who went straight to the corner with dissatisfaction.

Later, when Yi Miao was introduced, it was obvious that many of these elders were not very happy, and that kind of unhappiness was even directly put on their faces.

"There aren't many supplies now, this situation is normal, don't take it personally." The beautiful girl took the initiative to come over and say to Yi Miao: "My name is Xia Qian, what's your name?" She has long hair with a shawl, the clothes on her body are very clean, and she has a gentle look, not to mention that her accosting at this time seems to be eliminating embarrassment for Yi Miao, which will make people involuntarily feel good.

Yi Miao's attitude was very cold: "Yi Miao." โ€

Then he walked towards Liang Qi.

In fact, most of the people here know Yi Miao, she lived here for more than a week at that time, until one day, a person was bitten by a zombie outside but did not make a sound, but in the middle of the night mutated, biting most of the people here, she and Liang Qi escaped.

Xia Qian looked at Wu Yang a little helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?" โ€

Wu Yang smiled slightly, touched her head affectionately, and said, "No, it may be that her companions are dead and in a bad mood, don't take it to heart." Then he thoughtfully followed.

The younger brother Xiaohua in Xia Qian's mouth is Liang Qi's neighbor's child named Liang Zhou, who is only thirteen years old, and he doesn't know what caused the fever, and it has not subsided since last night.

Liang Qi sat beside Liang Zhou, put a wet towel on his forehead again, and held the warm towel in his hand as if he was in a daze, Liangzhou had been burning all night, when she went out in the morning, Liang Zhou was still awake for a while and said a few words to her, but now she is in a coma, even her breathing is burning, if the fever does not go away, I am afraid that her life will be in danger

Most people will have some medicines at home, otherwise they will go out again.

At this moment, a hand reached out from the side: "Antipyretics." โ€

Liang Qi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at Yi Miao, then looked at the whole plate of white pills in her hand, didn't ask anything, took it and poured a glass of water, called Liang Zhou up, and fed the medicine with water, Liang Zhou said a few words vaguely, and fell asleep again.

After feeding the medicine, Liang Qi's expression was much more relaxed, he stood up and left here, and said to Yi Miao gratefully, "Thank you." Then hand the rest of the medicine back.

"You're welcome." Yi Miao took it casually and stuffed it into his pocket.

Wu Yang walked over and glanced at Yi Miao, and then asked Liang Qi, "Is Liangzhou better?" โ€

Liang Qi pinned the broken hair that floated to the side of his face behind his ears, and said a little tiredly: "I just took antipyretics." I can only see if the fever can be reduced. โ€

After an hour or so, the fever in Liangzhou gradually subsided.

Liang Qi completely relaxed, touched Liang Zhou's sweaty hair, and was full of gratitude to Yi Miao: "Thank you so much." โ€

"You're welcome." Yi Miao said. If she hadn't taken all the medicines, then Liang Qi and the others wouldn't have returned empty-handed this time.

It was night, and the people who had nothing to do fell asleep early.

Yi Miao slept on a quilt with Liang Qi next to the corner.

When the snoring sounded gradually, people stumbled up one after another and walked towards the staircase in the dark.

After a while, Xia Qian's weak voice sounded: "Kiki? To go to the toilet or not? โ€

Liang Qi didn't respond, as if he was asleep.

Xia Qian was silent for a while, then groped her way to her feet and walked towards the staircase.

Yi Miao felt that Liang Qi beside her was not asleep, but she didn't move, as if she was asleep.

"Won't you go over and have a look?" Yi Miao said as if talking to herself.

No one answered, and after a while, Liang Qi stood up. By the hazy glimmer of light outside, she saw that the place where Wu Yang was sleeping was empty.

Liang Qi vaguely knew about the ambiguity between Wu Yang and her former best friend, but she didn't want to explore, she was already very tired just to be alive, but today, she followed Xia Qian and went to the seventh floor, which was only half built.

Her steps were so light that they could not be heard even in the quiet of the night.

As we reached the last step, a muffled grunt of pent-up excitement came from behind the wall.

Liang Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the railing slowly tightened.

Immediately afterwards, the woman's whispered โ–กโ–ก also sounded, calling the man's name again and again, a thousand times, delicate as if dripping water.

Liang Qi stiffened for a long time, then slowly relaxed, with a smile on her face that seemed to be painful and relieved, she lit a cigarette and sat down in the corridor, squinting and listening to the sound of impact and โ–กโ–ก behind the wall, but her mood was calmer than ever.

I don't know how long it took, but with a suppressed roar from a man, there was silence behind the wall for a while.

Then there was the sound of small conversations.

"When are you going to have a showdown with Liang Qi?" Xia Qian's voice was extremely soft at this time.

There was silence for a while, and Wu Yang's deep voice said slowly: "After a while, you also know that she has been too tired recently, and now I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it."

"Alas" Xia Qian sighed faintly: "I know, sometimes I really feel like I'm like a shameless junior now, I just love you too much, I love myself so much that I would rather betray my best friend"

Wu Yang couldn't help but take Xia Qian into his arms and comforted him softly: "I don't blame you." You are a kind and simple girl, I hurt you, I will definitely do my best to tell Liang Qi. Okay, don't be sad, let's go down. โ€

Xia Qian said coquettishly: "It's so dark, I'm so scared, you pull me." โ€

"Okay." Wu Yang smiled and took Xia Qian's hand.

The two walked out of the door holding hands, and were about to go downstairs when they saw a person sitting on the stairs.

Both of them were taken aback, and Wu Yang blurted out in shock: "Who?!" Xia Qian clinged to Wu Yang tightly.

"It's over so soon?" Liang Qi stood up and turned around, saw that the two were still hugging tightly, his eyes were colder, his smile became more and more sarcastic, he raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "I haven't finished smoking a cigarette yet." โ€

As soon as they heard this voice, Wu Yang and Xia Qian were stunned, and then saw that the person turned around, and in the dark night, Wu Yang, who was smiling, pushed Xia Qian away by reflex, and at the same time shook off Xia Qian's hand, wanting to pull Liang Qi: "Qiqi"

Liang Qi moved his hand and didn't let Wu Yang catch it, stared at Xia Qian with a smile and said, "Xia Qian, it turns out that your โ–กโ–ก is so good, it's very professional." โ€

Xia Qian opened her mouth before she called out Liang Qi's name and was interrupted by Liang Qi.

"You'd better shut up." Liang Qi said lightly: "Xia Qian, it's not illegal to kill people now." โ€

Xia Qian suddenly stiffened and didn't dare to move.

"Reach out." Liang Qi said to Wu Yang.

Wu Yang stretched out his hand in a daze.

Liang Qi pressed the cigarette butt that was still burning, and then said, "Wu Yang, we're done." โ€

With that, she turned and walked downstairs.

Yi Miao closed her eyes, listening to the noise on the side, and knew that it was Liang Qi who was back.

Liang Qi didn't lie down, but looked down at Yi Miao, who had his eyes closed, and asked, "Let's talk?" โ€

Yi Miao opened her eyes and happily agreed: "Okay." โ€

Liang Qi suddenly felt that Yi Miao was waiting for this sentence this night.

The two of them went to the seventh floor, and when they went up, Wu Yang and Xia Qian came down from above, and when they met them, they were both frozen as if they were petrified, Liang Qi and Yi Miao passed by them and went directly to the seventh floor.

"If it weren't for the end of the world, we would have planned to get married on May Day, and we had set Xia Qian as a bridesmaid." Liang Qi leaned against the window edge and lit another cigarette.

Yi Miao silently walked to her other side, where the smoke could not be reached.

Liang Qi smiled. Yi Miao said: "Smoking is harmful to health. โ€

Liang Qi first glanced at Yi Miao strangely, then laughed with a cigarette, and tears of laughter came out: "Now the end of the world is the end of the world, you tell me that smoking is harmful to your health?" She smiled and suddenly reached out to wipe a handful of tears, then took a puff of the cigarette, and flicked the cigarette butt out, and a bright light crossed the night, and then quickly fell and disappeared.

Liang Qi slowly spit out the cigarette and said, "I didn't smoke before, but then I thought it was good to smoke a little." After being silent for a while, he stared at Yi Miao, and his words changed suddenly: "Who are you?" โ€

Yi Miao didn't say anything: "Do you want to partner with me?" โ€

Liang Qi was successfully led astray by her: "What did you say? โ€

Yi Miao looked at her and said confidently: "I'm very good at killing zombies, I think you're not bad, how about the two of us teaming up?" โ€
