"Zhao Chun sent a text message to you?" Yun Qi frowned, "What happened?" ”

"He seems to be in trouble...... It can't be helped, it's very chaotic outside. Lin Xinrui sighed.

It's been a month since the zombie epidemic broke out, and it's been two weeks since Yun Qi and them escaped.

The army encountered great hardships in the recovery of N City, it seems that because there are too many zombies to be annihilated at one time, fortunately, because the zombies are too slow to move, coupled with the rapid response of the front line, most of the troops are safely withdrawn.

At present, the military is making preparations for a long-term struggle, and due to the large number of matters, it is unable to spare manpower to manage the people for a while, and the news of the failure to recover N City has spread far and wide, and people outside are panicked and rumors are spreading, and even repeated announcements to refute rumors cannot calm the people's hearts.

In the end, the military didn't bother to pay attention, anyway, they had food and weapons, and those who wanted to eat would naturally report to the barracks obediently to take over the work of building defenses or planting food; Those who make trouble or hide food are either expelled or killed, and as long as they don't violate the bottom line, they won't bother to do whatever the refugees want.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, Yun Qi and Lin Xinrui were silent for a while, the high-end villa area where they lived was some distance from the urban area where the refugees lived, and it was close to the military camp, even if the two armed guards were removed before, normal people would not want to come here to find trouble.

Lin Yue and Lin Yang would go outside regularly to get food, plus there were generators, solar panels and water towers, their lives were simply isolated fairyland, but they didn't expect that there was already chaos outside.

"What does Senior Sister want to do?"

"Of course I want to help Zhao Chun." Lin Xinrui pressed her temples and said, "But there are a lot of problems on Grandpa's side, I'm embarrassed to ask him for an old man, but if I come forward, it's ......."

"There's no convenient identity, right?"

"Yes." Lin Yue took Yun Qi's words, "The previous assignment of a helicopter to rescue you has already made some soldiers at the bottom who know quite dissatisfied, in case Miss is now making trouble with her high-profile military identity, whether it makes sense or not, it will make the chief quite embarrassed." ”

"What if you secretly bring Zhao Chun back here?" Yun Qi thought about it, this is the easiest way. "If you want to save some food, you still have a way to feed one or two people."

"There is no problem, but the food allocated above will not change. If you want to get more food, you have to go to the barracks outside to participate in the defense work. ”

"It's not far from here to the barracks." Lin Yang shrugged his shoulders, "That person named Zhao Chun is at least a man, if he is willing to work, he can receive rice, and he can go to the military region to sign up for the defense work." ”

"I don't understand." Xia Xiyue frowned, puzzled. "If you go to work in the army, you can have something to eat, why don't people go to report to the army? Even the elderly, weak, women and children can help, right, doesn't the military accept it? ”

"Of course you accept it, but the problem is that someone needs to watch the house, maybe when you come back from work, your door will be pried and the quilt will disappear......"

"And there are always people who don't want to do things with their hands, and would rather squeeze those who work hard," Lin Yue said meaningfully, "or ...... like us who rely on relationships to eat"

Except for Xia Xiyue, the rest of the people present lowered their heads or looked away in embarrassment.

"Didn't think about forcing the crowd to act? It's also easy to manage. ”

"There are already complaints that soldiers can't save their families, and they want to force ordinary people? There is no possibility that there will be a mutiny tomorrow. ”

“…… It's complicated. ”

"Xiao Xi is quiet first." Yun Qi tapped his fingers on his temples, his head lowered as if he was thinking about something. "Senior sister wants Xiao Yi to solve Zhao Chun's troubles? It's not that it can't be, but what if the other party has a gun? ”

"Yes, it can't be used." Lin Yang patted the holster on his waist and smiled bitterly. "The military confiscated all the firearms, claiming that every bullet could only be used against the infected, and they were shot even if they were found to be in possession. It's okay for a relational like ours to take it with you, but it's a disaster to take it out. ”

"Is Xiao Xi going alone?"

"Originally, I was going to let my brother go alone, but it was a bit dangerous to move alone." Lin Yue shook her head, "So I want to ask Classmate Xia for help, and Classmate Yun, Miss and I stay in the villa and wait." ”

Xia Xiyue didn't say a word, turned her head and stared at Yun Qi who was sitting next to her.

Yun Qi was itchy to see it, so he had to look at Lin Xinrui again for help.

“…… Okay, we all know that you don't plan to leave Yun Xuemei. Lin Xinrui looked at the ceiling and said helplessly, she always felt that if Xia Xiyue grew dog ears and tail one day, it wouldn't seem too strange. Why don't you go together? There is always a response. ”

"Okay, I want to go outside too." Without waiting for his friend to mention his foot injury, Yun Qi got up with a cane. "I've been nesting here for the past few days, and I'm getting stuffy."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Although Yun Qi said that she wanted to go out, she really let her walk to the city, not to mention that Xia Xiyue would go crazy, and Lin Xinrui and the others were embarrassed. It would take half an hour for a normal person to walk over, and Yun Qi, who had a fractured bone in his left foot, would take at least twice as long, not to mention the way back, so the five of them drove there.

Before he arrived in the city, Lin Yang parked his car in the dark alley first, after all, gasoline is also one of the materials confiscated by the military, and the moving car is too conspicuous, so it can only be parked in an uninhabited place first.

Obviously, this is a medium-sized city, but unlike the previous lively scene, the streets are sparsely populated and silent. There were many empty tents along the walls, and there were also low tents pulled up with simple strips of cloth or mats, and occasionally one or two old people could be seen lying in the tents waiting for death, or scantily dressed women sitting on the edge of the tents with their long hair combed.

The ground was littered with dirt, blood or sand, and even excrement. Everyone didn't look very clean, the house was dark, and the sluggish atmosphere covered the area.

"Zhao Chun, how is he now?"

"He also has three people in his family, his mother and two younger brothers." Lin Xinrui walked forward quickly, pretending not to know the two schoolgirls who were glued together behind her, but she couldn't walk fast. "I heard that someone has taken a fancy to their mother, and they come to look for trouble twice in three days."

"Trash that only bullies women?" Yun Qi stuck to the corner of Lin Xinrui's clothes, and she didn't want to play with Xia Xiyue in public, but since she couldn't get rid of her friends, at least someone had to accompany her to throw face! "Find someone to figure out the situation first, by the way, it's hard to get out, I want to find something by the way."

"The military controls a barter market, you can go there another day, and forget it today." Lin Yang frowned and looked around, there were four young women in the group of five, and they were all good-looking, it was too ostentatious to walk on the road like this, he always felt that someone was paying attention to them. "We should put on makeup before coming out, so it could be in trouble."

"Why wear makeup? I'm trying to see who wants to get into trouble. ”

“…… As I said, you can't make a difference to your superiors. ”

"Some people don't care when they die. And, by far the easiest and quickest way to collect supplies? Yun Qi teased, "Robbery! I don't know who grabbed it. ”

“…………”

“…… Never mind. ”

Hearing Yun Qi's statement, Lin Yang and Lin Yue pouted and rolled their eyes, but they didn't refute it, but they just quickened their pace and wanted to find someone to leave here immediately, so as not to really get into trouble.

According to the text message sent by Zhao Chun, soon the five of them came to an apartment.

"They should be home, and I have a message back saying they will come and help." Lin Xinrui turned on her phone, but her face looked very worried. "But today I can't get in touch with me by phone or text, so it stands to reason that my phone can still be used now......"

"It may be that there is no electricity, and I heard that the city stopped supplying water and electricity three days ago."

“…… Hopefully, on the fifth floor. ”

The elevator couldn't be used, Lin Xinrui climbed the stairs a little panting, Yun Qi let Xia Xiyue carry it peacefully, Lin Yue and Lin Yang were on guard one after the other, the two of them looked a little anxious, and the intuition atmosphere was a little wrong, but they couldn't tell which side was the problem.

"503, here." Lin Xinrui knocked on the door, "Hello, is anyone there?" ”

There was no response, but Yunqi and the others saw that in the cat's eye on the door, there was a vigilant eye peeking at everyone.

There was the sound of moving things from behind the door, and it took a while for it to open.

"You're really here!" Zhao Chun's face was half surprised and half frustrated, "I'm sorry, I'm really ......"

"Grab your luggage and prepare to leave, and I'll talk about it on the way when I have something to say." Before Lin Xinrui could speak, Lin Yue interjected coldly. "This is not the place to chat."

Xia Xiyue glanced at the door, a large pile of furniture and debris blocked at the door, and the two children behind were on guard with broom sticks; The eldest may have just entered high school, and the younger one looks like he is only about ten years old, but such a boy has also taken up arms, who have they provoked?

No one objected to Lin Yue's suggestion, Zhao Chun and the others quickly took out several bags and backpacks, the three children plus their mother, thinking that so many people were waiting to eat, Lin Yang and Lin Yue's faces became worse and worse, but they didn't say a word.

"Zhao family boy?"

As soon as I walked out of the apartment, I saw seven or eight more men leaning against the wall and waiting, obviously there was no sign of them before going upstairs, but now they appeared here, even holding knives or thick sticks, and at a glance they knew that they had bad intentions.

"Yo, that's good." The big man who took the lead whistled and smiled with a shivering face. "I just wanted to find a mother-in-law to be my wife, but now I still bring a few small ones, it just so happens that my brother needs it very much, go on the road, boy."

"You! You son of a bitch! ”

Zhao Chun's two younger brothers raised their wooden sticks in a panic, Lin Yue and Lin Yang also tensed up to protect Lin Xinrui behind, Zhao Chun pulled his mother behind him and gritted his teeth to stand in the front.

Xia Xiyue blinked, standing in place without moving; Yun Qi showed a gentle smile.
