Chapter 14 Longxing
"Is there something wrong?" He Li turned around and smiled at the young man who came running, and asked, "If you have something, you'd better hurry up, this is not a place to talk." β
There was a faint roar of zombies all around, this is indeed not a good place to talk, if you are the slightest careless, you may attract a large group of zombies, but no one likes to face those things.
The young man seemed stunned, a little unexpectedly that the two in front of him would look so calm. In the last days, he had seen many similar situations, and those people were very alert, and some would threaten him not to come closer. It was indeed the first time he had seen such a calm person as He Li.
However, the young man only hesitated for a moment, and immediately said in a very fast voice: "Hello, my name is Chen Chong, you are going to the Longxing Survivor Base, right?" I have something I want to talk to you about, could you please come with me? After all, this is not the place to talk. β
Chen Chong's words reminded He Li of the salesmen who could be seen everywhere on the streets before the end of the world.
"I live in a residential building over there, and I have a few companions in it. If ......," Chen Zhong said quickly, afraid that the two of them would be worried and would have to make new suggestions.
Interesting......
A playful smile hung on the corner of He Li's mouth.
"No, we trust you, take us there! What do you want to say to us? He Li interrupted Chen Chong's words and said directly.
"Uh......" Chen Chong was obviously suffocated, as if he hadn't met someone as good as He Li for a long time.
Chen took a heavy look at Xingyu, and Xingyu, who had been silent, stood behind He Li, looking at He Li's head.
In the last days, it should be a man with stronger combat power who has more right to speak, right? It's weird...... Chen Zhong noticed that among the two of them, He Li, who seemed to be the most delicate, couldn't help but feel a little strange.
In fact, the main reason is that the kitten He Li is holding gives Chen Zhong an illusion, and this combination makes He Li feel a little bit like a young lady.
"Then please come with me." Chen Chong didn't think about this anymore, and lowered his posture a little. This time it seems to have gone a little smoothly, which made Chen Chong, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, wary instead.
In fact, it's not that He Li and Xingyu are not vigilant, others believe it casually. Among them, in addition to He Li's intuition similar to the sixth sense, there is another important reason, strength. He Li and Xingyu are very confident, even if there are really any traps, they are definitely not afraid. The current two are not ordinary people who can deal with them with firearms.
Chen Zhong took He Li and Xingyu to the residential building, opened the iron door and closed it immediately, and did not forget to explain to the two: "This is anti-zombie, you need a key to enter outside, and you only need to open the lock to go out, you don't need a key." β
He Li nodded casually, signaling that he didn't have to explain.
This kind of iron gate, which is only composed of two layers of iron pieces, may be able to block humans and ordinary zombies without weapons, but it has no effect on He Li and Xingyu, even if they don't use their abilities, the two of them can destroy this iron door in a few seconds.
Behind the iron gate is a narrow stairwell, but at this time it has been blocked by countless debris and garbage, and there is no way to go up.
"It's also a means of preventing zombies." Chen Zhong explained, "You have to rely on a ladder to get in. β
He Li looked up and saw a large hole in the ceiling, which was four or five meters high, and a telescopic ladder was erected down from the big hole.
"As long as you pull the ladder from above, you can resist the attack of zombies very well." Chen Zhong said that he seemed to be showing off the defense measures of his base.
He Li thought that when he was in that small supermarket, Xingyu had prepared this kind of effective measure to avoid zombies at that time? At most, it is just to pull a few wires and connect a doorbell as a guard.
But it's right to think about it, at that time, Xingyu was not afraid of the invasion of ordinary zombies, but Chen Chong and them were not, any zombie could take their lives.
Subjects are immune to zombie viruses, so they are not very afraid of zombies; Unlike ordinary people, they will almost certainly become zombies as long as they are injured by zombies, so even if they have the strength to easily deal with zombies, they must also be cautious when facing zombies. Viruses are actually more terrifying than zombies.
Climbing up the telescopic ladder, Chen Zhong put the telescopic ladder away again, so that even if there was a zombie invasion below, he couldn't get in.
When I came up, it was a living room-like room, very tidy, and looked like the living room of ordinary people before the end of the worldβwhich is not so easy to do in the last days.
Just such a small detail made He Li have a lot of good feelings, and at the same time, he began to be curious about this place.
"Xiaozhong, did you go out just now?" A voice sounded, and then He Li saw a woman about forty or fifty years old walk out of a nearby room.
"Oh, I said Xiaozhong, don't bring people back at every turn, it's not that the aunt said you, there are really not many supplies here......" The woman said babblingly, making Chen Chong's face show a little embarrassment.
"That's Aunt Li," Chen Zhong explained a little embarrassed, "It may be a little unpleasant to speak, but she is a good ......"
He Li nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
"That's Mi Guo, this is Yue Lei ......" Several people heard Aunt Li's voice and walked out of their respective rooms curiously, and Chen Zhong immediately began to introduce He Li and Xingyu.
Several people also greeted He Li Xingyu one after another, and it seemed that they had encountered this situation more than once.
"What do you have to tell us?" He Li was a little impatient, and interrupted Chen Chong's somewhat overly enthusiastic introduction, and asked directly.
"Uh......" Chen Zhong looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "Then please come with me." β
"Brother Chen is going to say those strange things again." Mi Guo, a handsome girl of about sixteen years old on the side, muttered, "No one has ever listened to me!" β
"Huh?" He Li's ears moved and heard Migo's whisper, her hearing was not ordinarily good.
Now, He Li is even more interested in Chen Chong.
Chen Chong took He Li and Xingyu to a room a little mysteriously.
"The two of you are going to Longxing, right?" Chen Zhong asked.
"yes, what's wrong?" He Li glanced at the star rain that was loading air next to him and said.
"To tell you the truth, I and the people here both escaped from Longxing." Chen Zhong said, "I suggest that you don't go to Longxing either." β
"Why?" He Li was a little puzzled, it was indeed safe here, but it was undoubtedly much more dangerous compared to Longxing, which had hundreds of people.
After all, it is always much more difficult for such a small group to do the work of collecting materials, unlike the Longxing base, where even the collection of materials is carried out by a special team.
"I'm afraid you don't know the true face of Longxing, right?"
He Li felt that Chen Chong's tone was obviously cold when he mentioned Longxing.
"Longxing is actually a nest of hooligans." Chen Zhong said coldly.
"When the end of the world broke out, an evolutionary appeared among several gangsters nearby, and they teamed up to snatch Longxing down." Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "In that base, there are no human rights at all!" β
He Li nodded slightly and continued to listen to Chen Chong.
"In that base, there is simply no way for the people at the bottom to survive!" Chen Zhong said, the words are very vague, it is difficult to show what he wants to express, and he can see that he is a little excited, "There is only a little food every day, and I have to do a lot of work, and there are obviously enough rooms in the hotel, but I don't give them all to live, and keep them all!" Ordinary people like us can only live in the halls, basements, and so on, and only evolvers and a few rogue leaders can live in the rooms! β
The more Chen Zhong spoke, the more excited he became.
"Ordinary people like us have to do a lot of dangerous work every day, go out to search for supplies or clean up zombies, and we can't get material distribution until we complete the task." Chen Chong continued, his voice cold, "Many people go to Longxing Hotel every day, but now Longxing has only two hundred people, do you know why? β
Chen Zhong then muttered to himself, becoming more and more emotional: "Many people are killed or run away every day!" Most of the remaining 200 people are hooligans who have nowhere to go or are working for the tiger! β
He Li obviously felt that Chen Chong's emotions were very excited.
Xingyu frowned slightly, and a cold air came out, enveloping Chen Chong.
Chen Zhong was excited, and suddenly sobered up a little.
Xingyu grasped the degree very well, and the temperature just made Chen Chong sober and didn't let him notice anything abnormal, so he only felt a cold shiver inexplicably.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Chen Chong returned to his original appearance.
"It's fine." He Li said lightly, "You invited us here just to say this?" β
"Trust me, what I say is true." Chen Chong replied to the question, and spoke more like a person who was not deeply involved in the world, "If I were a liar, I would never use such a clumsy excuse." Ask anyone who has been there about Longxing will know! β
Chen Chong's speech began to speed up again.
"It should be true." Xingyu said without a trace in He Li's ear. "And, in him I felt a strange power."
"......I feel it too," He Li whispered.
"You can stay here for a while, and we can provide food and shelter until the government's help arrives." Chen Zhong continued.
"The government's rescue?" He Li subconsciously repeated.
"Three days ago, the government began broadcasting a radio saying that a survivor base had been established in the west of the city and that it had begun to search for survivors, and I believe it will not be long before the search can be carried here." Chen Zhong said.
He Li pursed her lips slightly, she didn't have the habit of waiting for something that was not very likely.
"Actually, I'm also an evolutionary." Seeing that He Li and Xingyu didn't speak, Chen Chong was silent for a while and spoke.
"But I'm very ...... Chicken. Speaking of this, Chen Chong looked a little gloomy, "I have an intuition similar to my sixth sense, and I can sense danger. β
"Huh?" He Li raised his eyebrows.
"I feel that there is a huge source of danger looming under Longxing." Chen Zhong said a little mysteriously, "It's countless times more dangerous than a large group of zombies to give me!" β
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Xingyu rarely spoke.
"You can test me, for example, to test your strength, two evolutionaries." A smile crossed Chen Chong's face.
"Oh?" He Li was not in a hurry, "It seems that it may be true that you are an evolutionary, but as for the situation on Longxing's side, I think it would be better for us to determine it ourselves." β
"Besides, it seems that some of you don't welcome us!" He Li turned his head slightly, and through the half-hidden crack in the door, he saw Aunt Li who was pulling rice crackers outside and chattering a little, and the content was nothing more than some complaints about He Li and the two of them. He Li's hearing, but it all fell into his ears.
"Uh......" Chen Chong was embarrassed again, and carefully explained, "Actually, Aunt Li ......"
"Hehe," He Li interrupted Chen Chong's words, "I still decided to go to Longxing to have a look." If there is an opportunity, there will be a period later. β
Xingyu smiled at Chen Chong and followed He Li to leave quickly.
Chen Zhong didn't stop the two, just sat on the chair in a daze, looking a little distressed.
