Chapter 5: Let's Go Together
An Qitong was still immersed in Lin Zihao's words just now, and when she met zombies, she had to act bravely, does it mean that zombies can be killed, and people like her who have never even killed chickens can kill zombies?
No, I'm afraid I won't even dare to go out and face it, so how can I talk about killing zombies?
"Do you want instant noodles?" Lin Zihao looked at the girl on the ground with a somewhat tangled face, didn't know what she was thinking, or opened his mouth to remind her.
The glasses on the bridge of her nose slipped slightly, and when An Qitong looked up, she saw Lin Zihao looking at herself intently, she quickly turned her head and straightened her glasses. didn't dare to show Lin Zihao his somewhat empty expression, so he quickly picked up the instant noodles on the ground and handed Lin Zihao a bucket.
An Qitong opened another bucket of instant noodles and poured the hot water in the kettle into it, and it didn't take long for the unique aroma of instant noodles to waft out.
"Thank you." Lin Zihao had no choice but to say thank you, smelling the aroma of instant noodles, he was a little hungry, although he had eaten instant noodles for the past few days, but there was no water, so he had to eat dryly, and now he smelled the long-lost aroma, and the gluttonous worms were also hooked out.
"It smells so good." An Qitong took a deep breath of the aroma, she never knew that instant noodles could make people so moved, before the end of the world, she rarely ate these vegetarian food, often soaked in a bucket but only ate a little bit and didn't want to eat it, leaving a room full of instant noodles The smell of instant noodles has to be opened to disperse the fragrance. But now, such a bucket of instant noodles should be one less bucket after eating one bucket in the last days.
"Are you alright?" Lin Zihao felt that An Qitong's reaction just now was a little abnormal, as if he was hiding something, and now he was staring at a bucket of instant noodles in a trance.
An Qitong came back to his senses and saw Lin Zihao half-squatting in front of him, still holding the instant noodles he had just given him, his tone was slightly concerned, and his eyes were a little puzzled.
"Oh, I'm fine, you can soak the noodles as well." An Qitong left a little behind, she was not used to being so close to a stranger, but she forgot about the zombie riot last night, and she nervously grabbed someone's clothes.
Lin Zihao didn't ask anything more, soaked the noodles in three or two times, and stood behind the roller shutter and listened carefully. After listening to it for a while, he didn't notice any movement, so he walked to the side of the silver table.
The two didn't talk again, and when the noodles were ready, they ate quietly. Lin Zihao was probably hungry, so he ate the noodles into his stomach in a few clicks, and he didn't even waste the soup, and drank it all cleanly. After eating, he licked his mouth, as if he was a little unsatisfied.
An Qitong ate in small bites, his noodles were a little hot, I don't know why Lin Zihao ate so fast, isn't he hot?
"How much food and water did you collect?" Lin Zihao looked at the small woven bag behind An Qitong.
An Qitong put down the noodles in his hand, pulled out the woven bag behind him, and opened it in front of Lin Zihao. She wasn't sure how many there were, she was still nervous yesterday, and she took as much as she found, and she didn't count it.
Lin Zihao looked at An Qitong's movements unexpectedly, was she so relieved that he would expose the food in front of her. However, he was a little happy in his heart, An Qitong should be a kind girl, and he spent the night with her, and he should have gained some of her trust.
Lin Zihao checked the food in the bag, and it was not very much, it was probably able to eat for two people for three or four days, and there was a lot of water.
"These are probably enough for two people to eat for three or four days, you have to put them away, and you can survive a week alone." Lin Zihao closed the zipper of the bag, pushed the bag in front of An Qitong, and motioned for her to put it away.
"Don't you want it? I can divide it with you. An Qitong felt that he should give Lin Zihao some food and water, after all, he was still in front of him last night, looking like he was protecting himself.
"No, I'll leave later, just go to other stores to find something to eat, you must hide as a girl, in this apocalypse, not only zombies are in danger, but some people also have to be on guard." Lin Zihao was a little surprised, as if he had talked too much, and he seemed to be the object of defense last night.
An Qitong heard Lin Zihao say that she was leaving, but she was suddenly a little anxious in her heart, she didn't know what was wrong with her, as if it was easy to find a candle in the dark, but she didn't light the candle. Lin Zihao has something on her body that she feels comfortable with, this person didn't give her a sense of danger from the beginning, and now that he is leaving, what should he do? Do you want to continue to hide here?
"Are you leaving? I ......" The rest of the words, An Qitong couldn't speak, for a person he just met, it didn't seem like a good thing to ask to go with him, he didn't know him very well.
"This shop is not very safe, the roller shutter can't stop things, you'd better change places, bring these food and water, you should be able to last for a while", Lin Zihao doesn't know after a while, even if this girl persists, what should she do after that? I don't know what I plan, I can only take one step at a time, and of course I can't ask others to be with me.
In the silence for a long time, the two didn't know that they wanted to leave with each other, and because they had just met, they could only keep the words in their hearts.
An Qitong thought about it for a long time, and felt that she should be like yesterday, only if she acted by herself, hope would appear in front of her eyes, she turned in from next door, found something to eat, and met this person who dared to kill zombies, isn't this hope. Now you should also make a decision about whether to leave or stay.
Just like Lin Zihao said, this store is not very safe, sooner or later there will be danger, then there is no difference between one day earlier and one day later, rather than having to go alone at that time, it is better to go out with Lin Zihao now, at least now this person dares to kill zombies. Well, I seem to believe in him a little bit.
"I'll come with you."
"Come with me."
For a long time, the two of them said at the same time, but they didn't hear what the other party said.
"Well, you speak first." Lin Zihao was a little embarrassed. Isn't he too abrupt?
"Lin Zihao, can I leave with you?" An Qitong looked at the man opposite seriously, before the end of the world, he had never dealt with the police, and in this short night, maybe it was the identity of the police that made him believe in him very much.
"Ah, you agree to come with me?" Lin Zihao was a little surprised, originally he thought that his request would definitely be refused, but he didn't expect the other party to agree.
"Yes." An Qitong didn't say anything, just nodded.
"I didn't think you would agree to go with me, after all, you and I don't know each other, and it's not good here, but at least it's safe for now. Besides, I don't even know where I'm going. Do you really want to? Lin Zihao said the doubts in his heart.
It seems that Lin Zihao is willing to let himself follow, thinking of this, An Qitong hurriedly replied:
"I can go with you, and I don't know where I'm going."
"Don't you have family and friends? You can go to them. Lin Zihao feels that most people are looking for their family and friends, especially in the face of disasters, and they need the comfort of family and friends.
An Qitong lowered her head, family, she didn't know if she was still there, even if she was still there, she didn't know if she could accept herself; There are no friends, she has always been a very homely person, in addition to work, basically in her spare time is at home, rarely go out to play, interpersonal relationships, there are only colleagues at work, and former classmates rarely come and go, her relationship network can be described as simple and clean.
"I live alone in H City, with no friends, no family...... The family is in Q City, and I don't know if it's still there. An Qitong felt a little bitter in her heart, she had lived for 25 years, except for herself, there really seemed to be no one worth entrusting, everything was decided by herself, arranged by herself, she was used to it, and sometimes she forgot that she still had a parent.
"Do you want to go back to them?" Lin Zihao didn't want to see An Qitong so decadent, the last days had already given people a lot of suffering, and it would be dangerous if he was still so depressed.
An Qitong didn't speak, she didn't know whether to go to her parents, the mountain county below Q City is also more than 200 kilometers away from H City, and it can be reached by car and train in more than 2 hours before the end of the world, but now, I don't know if I can get there safely.
After being silent for a long time, An Qitong said a little gloomily:
"My parents are divorced, they each have families, I grew up living with my grandmother, they ...... They have children of their own. I'm used to being alone. After my grandmother died, I came to H City, and I haven't been back to see them for almost 4 years, and now the phone is not working, and I can't contact them anymore. ”
Lin Zihao was very surprised, it turned out that she also had a not very happy childhood, she was an orphan, she didn't know where her parents were, it didn't matter if her relatives were or not.
"You...... Don't be sad, I'm an orphan, I don't know if I have parents since I was a child, I went to the army at the age of 18, and I have been in the army for 10 years, and the army is my home. In fact, as long as you live well, these can be passed......" Lin Zihao is not very comforting, especially the girl who is still sad, scratching his head helplessly.
"10 years? So how old are you now? An Qitong raised his red eyes, a little surprised. The big boy who looked very sunny turned out to be an orphan.
"Twenty-eight." Lin Zihao was a little embarrassed, he just came to the police station with a few colleagues of the same age as him, and the children could run all over the ground, and he was still a bare-bones commander.
"You're older than me, I'm 25 years old." An Qitong took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
"What about you...... Is there anyone else to look for besides my parents, what about my boyfriend? Lin Zihao actually wanted to ask if he had a husband, but when he saw that An Qitong didn't have a ring on his hand, he changed his mind.
"I don't have a boyfriend." An Qitong blushed a little, and didn't know how to say this.
"Oh."
Lin Zihao knew that he was a little abrupt, and when he was about to find some topic to diverge over, the roller shutter next to him slammed, which instantly woke up the two of them.
There was a zombie roar outside the door, and then the roller shutter was slammed, and from time to time some lime was shaken off the wall above the door.
"Oh no, we can't stay here, we need to get out of here." After Lin Zihao finished speaking, he quickly pulled up An Qitong on the ground, signaled her to quickly put on her shoes, and pulled out the woven bag behind An Qitong and put it on her back.
An Qitong was still in chaos, and after trying a few times before putting on the high heels, the noise outside the door was getting louder and louder, and it could be heard that there were already a lot of zombies around.
An Qitong stood up, the discomfort in her feet made her frown, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Lin Zihao had already quickly picked up the backpacks of the two of them, and easily held the steel stick at An Qitong's feet in his hand, staring at An Qitong with his eyes, and frowning when he saw the high heels on his feet.
"Ready? We're leaving, no one can say anything about the situation outside, you have to be mentally prepared. After speaking, without waiting for An Qitong to say anything, he took the lead and walked towards the compartment.
An Qitong hurriedly followed, the situation was too sudden, she couldn't prepare anything at all, let alone allow her to prepare anything, she took a few deep breaths, the worst is death, what else can there be?
