28.Chapter 28
"Yes, there's a quarry in the col not far away." Zhang Wei pointed, as if he was worried that Li Chen would not believe it, and immediately added: "They are all migrant workers who escaped from Jingshui City, not bad people." If you believe me, come back with me for a night, after all, due to natural disasters, the terrain here has changed a lot, the map is not easy to use, and it is really dangerous to travel at night. ”
Zhang Weidu had already shown twelve points of sincerity, but Li Chen didn't seem to let go, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Unexpectedly, Li Chen actually replied to him: "Okay, you lead the way, let's go with you." ”
When Zhang Wei heard this, he was overjoyed.
He didn't ask to get in the car, just took a few people and walked briskly beside Li Chen's car.
Li Chen turned his head to look and found that among the people in this group, only Zhang Wei looked the oldest, and the other few who came over were only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Li Chen's lips pursed, Li Yan is as big as them, I don't know if he can save himself in the troubled times?
Zhang Wei is still very steady, but the few young men around him are not, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that their accents were different.
A young man was very arrogant, leaned over and asked, "Big brother, what did you do just now, why were all those zombies killed?" I still hear explosions, won't they all be killed by you? You're amazing! ”
Li Chen was noncommittal, but just answered lightly: "Listen to the accent, you are not from here." ”
The young man scratched his head: "Well, I'm from the Northeast, working in Stillwater City, I didn't expect the end of the world to come like this, so I followed Brother Zhang and them." Don't look at Brother Zhang, who looks a little stumbling, he is actually a warm-hearted good man, if it weren't for him, we might have died a long time ago. ”
When Zhang Wei heard this, he turned his head sharply, slapped the young man's back hard, and scolded with a smile: "Ma Yuan, who do you say is stumbling?" ”
The young man named Ma Yuan immediately begged for mercy, and deliberately pretended to be beaten in pain, screaming.
Li Chen's originally cold face softened a lot at the moment.
This group of people gives people a feeling that is indeed different from Zhao Qiang.
Nan Ge was in the co-pilot, and he also looked out, his eyes were still a little envious.
Li Chen was thoughtful, and finally didn't say anything.
After driving for more than 20 minutes, all the way to the mountain pass, Li Chen found that although the mountain body had been destroyed, several brick houses in the quarry were well preserved.
The house was left for people to live in, and many people were cooking outside, and made a stove out of stone, and an iron pot was set up on it, and water was still boiling in it.
It turned out that there were still a lot of people in this small village, Li Chen made a cursory observation, how could there be dozens of them, most of them were men, old and young.
There are still a few young people like Ma Yuan, and after Li Chen asked casually, he heard Ma Yuan say: "We all went south and north, and followed the contractor to work. Alas, now there are natural disasters everywhere, and I don't know what happened to my hometown. ”
Such a young child came out to work on the construction site.
Li Chen sighed softly, and after parking the car, he comforted Nan Ge and got out of the car.
After observing, he also found that the people who lived here were basically yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and they were obviously people who were used to doing physical work all year round.
After listening to Ma Yuan's words, he comforted him: "Although the days used to be a little harder, your body is good, and the chances of survival are much better than those people in the city." “
Ma Yuan laughed: "Zhang Weige also said this, anyway, now I can be safe for a day, and living is happy, and when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go back to my hometown to see." ”
Li Chen pursed his lips and didn't comfort anything more. After all, if there is no bad news, it is good news.
Nan Ge waited boredly in the car, watching Li Chen slowly walk in the open space, occasionally talking to the people in the quarry, and she also wanted to go out to let off steam.
Ma Yuan glanced back at Li Chen's car, and asked, "Big brother, the girl in your car, don't let her come down to eat something?" Although we have very few supplies here, I am afraid that we will not be able to provide much good food. ”
Li Chen shook his head: "We've eaten before, but thank you for your kindness." ”
"It's okay!" Ma Yuan smiled heartily, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is the age of youth and enthusiasm, he still has a little freckles on his face, and his teeth are very white: "After all, if you don't help each other, no one can live." ”
After Li Chen walked around the clearing, he made sure that there were no heavy guns and equipment that could threaten them, so he said to Ma Yuan, "I'll go and bring my girlfriend down." ”
Ma Yuan glanced at Li Chen with some envy. This man is tall and handsome, capable and has a girlfriend.
Why is it that other people's last days are so different from their own?
Of course, if Ma Yuan knew that Nan Ge was a zombie, he would definitely not think so.
When the car door opened, Nan Ge still clasped the steering wheel with his fingers, leaving scratches on it.
was seen by Li Chen, and she withdrew her hand stupidly.
Li Chen was not angry, and pinched her face with a smile: "You are really boring." Let's go, get off. ”
Nan Ge was surprised, there are so many people here, he is not afraid of revealing his identity?
"I'm getting out too?"
"Well, it doesn't matter, if you don't speak, they won't notice. Get out of the car and hear what they have to say. After Li Chen finished speaking, he hugged her down before Nan Ge could speak.
After that, she didn't need to go, but hugged her all the way to Zhang Wei and put it down.
Zhang Wei glanced at her, and when he saw her head down, he took his gaze back, just now he had heard Ma Yuan say that this girl was Li Chen's girlfriend.
"Your girlfriend is quite shy."
Li Chen smiled slightly, with a doting look in his eyes: "Her leg is injured, and it is not convenient to walk." By the way, my name is Li Chen, you can just call her Xiaoge. ”
"Li Chen." Zhang Wei repeated and shook hands with Li Chen.
Both men have calluses on their hands, but Zhang Wei is because he does heavy work all year round, and Li Chen is because he has been carrying a gun all year round.
Now that Zhang Wei and the others have found someone back, it is time to eat.
Li Chen looked at their food, which was actually not bad, the key was that they cooked porridge.
The only time he ate something hot in recent times was when he cooked instant noodles.
There was no way, he just wanted to get to the North Sea early.
Not long after, Zhang Wei came over with two bowls, and one of them handed it to Li Chen: "There is not a lot of rice in the village, so everyone usually saves food, don't dislike it, eat a little more." ”
When Zhang Wei came over, many people ate it, watching Ma Yuan and a few young people of the same age squatting on the ground casually drinking porridge, talking and laughing, complaining about when they would be able to eat a good meal.
Some other men also drank porridge in large gulps, and from time to time looked at this end curiously.
There was a mother with a child in the village, and she was distributing porridge to everyone, and she smiled softly, saying that it was not enough.
Li Chen shouldn't have been eating outside, after all, it was necessary to defend against others.
But seeing this quiet scene, he still reached out to take the porridge and then took a sip.
Nan Ge didn't speak from beginning to end, and she felt uncomfortable sitting in the middle of so many people.
If it weren't for Li Chen tugging at her hand, she might have jumped up a long time ago.
Zhang Wei also sat down casually, watching Li Chen drink porridge without giving his girlfriend a mouthful, in fact, he was still a little disdainful in his heart.
But if you really don't care, you can't bring her over just now.
Forget it, couples may have their own way of getting along.
Zhang Wei drank his own porridge before he said to Li Chen: "That woman is from the foreman's family, and the child is too young, so she takes the foreman to the north and south. I heard that there are two daughters in the family, and I don't know what happened after the accident, her man died in an accident on the day of the end of the world, and then she took the food left by the contractor and followed us. ”
Nan Ge also glanced up at the woman, she was taking care of her child at this moment, although she was not a beauty, but her soft expression made her stunned.
Li Chen only felt that this bowl of porridge seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties.
He took a few slow sips and then held it in his hand.
When the woman came to collect the bowl, he handed her the empty bowl.
The woman was a little shy, speaking with a Jiangnan accent, gentle and soft, and said to Li Chen: "I see that your girlfriend hasn't eaten anything at all, and there is still some porridge left, why don't I bring it to you?" ”
Nan Ge said the first sentence of the night: "No need, I'm not hungry." ”
It's all short sentences, she speaks quite fluently, and no one notices anything wrong.
Li Chen also explained: "Yes, she really doesn't need it." ”
The woman smiled slightly, and then left.
Zhang Wei sighed: "Women are the most difficult to live in the last days, we can't die lightly, otherwise their orphans and widows will definitely be even more difficult." ”
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he hesitated for a moment before he said to Li Chen: "Speaking of the three supernatural beings awakened in our village, one of them is her child, but the doll is too small to understand anything." ”
Li Chen thought that it would take a lot of effort for him to talk to him, but he didn't expect Zhang Wei to tell him everything.
He didn't even hide such a secret thing as the Stranger.
For a while, Li Chen was a little ashamed of his rusty and indifferent heart.
Nan Ge just leaned beside him leisurely, and her eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Wei mention the Stranger.
Their blood tastes delicious! She swallowed subconsciously.
But she looked at the dry kid and forgot it. Such a small sprout, let's raise it for a few more years.
"I didn't think you would tell us about that." No one is polite, Li Chen compares his heart to his heart: "After all, we are strangers, aren't we?" ”
Zhang Wei smiled: "I know that you two have the ability, so many zombies, kill them if you say kill, if you really want to do something to us, you don't have to wait until now." ”
