Chapter 15: Chu Chu is dead
Everyone looked at An Qitong, making her feel as if she was stripped naked and standing in front of everyone, so frightened that she grabbed the big backpack behind Lin Zihao, covering her face like an ostrich.
She didn't say anything wrong, they just came here for the night, and they will leave tomorrow when it is dawn, and they won't do anything, how do they feel as if everyone thinks they are fragrant buns.
After a short silence, Brother Yuan let go of Lin Zihao's arm and said to An Qitong with a smile:
"Okay, since the girl has spoken, of course it's okay, I see that the place downstairs is big, so I can find a corner for you, how about it?"
As he spoke, he wanted to come up and grab An Qitong's hand.
Lin Zihao blocked Brother Yuan's footsteps, stood in front of An Qitong in a flash, protected An Qitong behind him with one hand, and blocked in front of him with the other.
"Brother Yuan, thank you for your kindness, I think our brother and sister will be here for one night."
Although Lin Zihao was laughing, his smile was so ugly in An Qitong's eyes.
Brother Hu on the side heard Lin Zihao give him face like this, and immediately became a good man.
"Oh, the little brother can afford my tiger brother, of course it's easy to do, Dongzi, go, bring the bed and clean quilt, just find a clean place in the original beverage area and lay it out."
Dongzi, who heard the order, didn't say a word and hurriedly complied, while Brother Hu smiled and took Lin Zihao's hand and prepared to take them over in person.
Lin Zihao grabbed An Qitong, didn't look at Brother Yuan, who was left aside, and followed Brother Hu.
The distant brother behind her had a gloomy face, and the calculation in her eyes made An Qitong feel uncomfortable, she hurriedly followed Lin Zihao, and she didn't dare to turn her head back.
No matter what Brother Yuan behind him thought, Lin Zihao and An Qitong followed Brother Tiger to the supermarket.
Before the end of the world, this layer should be selling food and drinks in addition to daily necessities, and the hanging signs can still be clearly seen on the shelves one by one, but now the things on the shelves are gone, and only the empty shelves remain.
An Qitong looked up and found that there was still a light on.
"There's still electricity in the supermarket!"
An Qitong couldn't help but speak, every few meters, a light would be lit on the top of his head, each light was not too bright, but in the dim room, it could already give people a sense of relaxation.
"Oh, this, the supermarket has a backup generator, so if you get some diesel, you can generate electricity."
I don't know if Lin Zihao chose him just now instead of Brother Yuan's attitude, so that Brother Tiger now speaks with a sense of intimacy, which is very different from when he first met.
As the group spoke, they arrived at their destination.
It used to be a place to sell alcoholic beverages, and the empty shelves have been pushed away, leaving a relatively open area, and the shelves naturally form a surrounding wall, which not only isolates the view but also gives a sense of security, but leaves a door-like area in the place where it enters.
An Qitong casually looked around, there were many places like this layout around, all of which were composed of the original shelves, and it could be seen that some people had already lived in them.
"Okay, brother, you can rest here for the time being, and if there is anything, go to the place where you just now look for me."
Brother Tiger said goodbye with a smile, and felt like he had done something very face-saving surrounded by a group of people around him.
There are only two people here, An Qitong and Lin Zihao for the time being, and there is a bed on the ground at a glance to know that it is a new quilt, the kind sold in the supermarket, and the label has not been torn off.
Lin Zihao put down the backpack behind him and let An Qitong go to the quilt to rest, while he himself sat at the door and checked the surrounding environment.
Lin Zihao watched it for a long time, which made An Qitong feel a little uneasy.
"What's wrong, isn't it a little insecure?"
An Qitong looked at Lin Zihao, her hand never let go of the nail gun, in case of any emergency, it seemed that it would be safer to do so.
Lin Zihao looked at it for a long time, and finally walked to An Qitong and sat down, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"There shouldn't be zombies yet, I'm mainly worried about the people here."
Lin Zihao's accent was placed on the "person" in the second half of the sentence.
"People here?" An Qitong was a little puzzled.
"Well, this place is obviously divided into two parts, this floor upstairs should be managed by the person named Brother Hu just now, and the second floor downstairs should be managed by the person named Brother Yuan. The point is, they don't deal with it. ”
Lin Zihao was a little worried, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him and An Qitong to come in like this, and now it seemed that he could only take one step at a time.
An Qitong saw Lin Zihao's good-looking eyebrows wrinkled again, and knew that they should be in trouble, this kind of thing An Qitong had never encountered before, and she couldn't give any experience, she didn't know why the surviving humans still had to divide into camps, shouldn't they unite together to fight the zombies?
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, we just need to stay for one night and leave tomorrow, it shouldn't be in their way."
Lin Zihao comforted An Qitong a few words, it worked, at least An Qitong seemed to be relaxed, and smiled at him.
In fact, before Lin Zihao came in, he should have thought that there should be survivors here, the supermarket is so big, there are a lot of supplies in it, as long as people with a little brain will find a way to come here, but he didn't expect this to be the situation inside.
"By the way, what should Xiao Dapeng and Chu Chu do? They wouldn't be in danger, would they? ”
An Qitong remembered that they had just dispersed with Xiao Dapeng, and there were so many zombies upstairs, they wouldn't be in any danger.
Lin Zihao had a little headache, Xiao Dapeng and Chu Chu were troublemakers, if it weren't for one of them kicking the bottle just now, there wouldn't be so many things.
"It should be fine, I saw them hiding."
Lin Zihao didn't want to see a worried look on An Qitong's face, and the object of worry was still a troublemaker.
"If they don't show up by night, I'll go out and look for them."
In fact, An Qitong is more worried about Chu Chu, she is weaker than herself, Xiao Dapeng protects her too well, and hopes that they can find the downstairs safely.
"You can eat something first."
Lin Zihao took out some biscuits from his backpack, since the end of the world, An Qitong and himself have not been able to eat a good meal, and their faces are a little yellow.
The two of them ate a little bit of water without speaking, when a sound of footsteps sounded outside the shelves.
Soon, An Qitong recognized it as Dongzi who brought them down.
"That, our brother tiger wants to invite you to go for a while."
Dongzi looked at Lin Zihao, stood at the door and didn't come in, but the meaning was obvious, if Lin Zihao didn't go, he wouldn't leave.
Lin Zihao wanted to object a little in his heart, he didn't worry about leaving An Qitong here alone.
"My sister was scared by the zombie just now, and now she is a little uncomfortable, I need to stay and take care of her, can you tell Brother Hu, when my sister is better, we will go together to thank him."
Lin Zihao didn't get up, he was still sitting next to An Qitong, raising his head, the rejection in his eyes was obvious.
Dongzi didn't expect Lin Zihao to really refuse, he thought about it, didn't dwell too much, nodded and turned to leave.
"What are they looking for you? Otherwise, you can go and take a look, don't worry, I'm fine, I won't go out, and I still have a weapon in my hand. ”
An Qitong signaled that she still had a nail gun in her hand, if there was really an eyeless guy to make trouble, she might use it.
Lin Zihao actually wants to find out the environment here, who are the two groups of people upstairs and downstairs, and whether they have any other purpose, these don't know, and these problems plague Lin Zihao and make him a little irritable. How long has it been since he felt this way in an unfamiliar environment and a person he couldn't grasp?
When Lin Zihao was still a soldier, he participated in some special missions, and many of them were carried out in a completely unfamiliar environment, at that time he was still very young, and he always had a strong temperament in his bones, and he was also very impulsive, his captain taught him to be stable more than once, and after years of beating, he developed Lin Zihao's calm and calm temperament when encountering problems.
Calm down, steady, Lin Zihao repeatedly told himself in his heart, now that the situation is not clear, the zombies outside are enough to make people frightened, so you should be more careful at this time.
An Qitong didn't know what Lin Zihao was thinking, he kept a movement until now, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of disturbing Lin Zihao, and when he was struggling, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Brother, look, who did I bring you?"
Brother Tiger's hearty laughter broke Lin Zihao's contemplation, and he also turned An Qitong's gaze to the person who came in at the door.
"Xiao Dapeng!"
An Qitong was a little surprised, she and Lin Zihao were still talking about him just now.
In addition to Xiao Dapeng, there were also three people from Brother Hu, An Qitong watched everyone come in, but she didn't see Chu Chu, she looked at Xiao Dapeng suspiciously.
"Xiao Dapeng, why are you yourself, Chu Chu? Isn't she with you? ”
Hearing An Qitong's inquiry, Xiao Dapeng trembled, but quickly stood up straight again, but the fear, guilt and dodging on his face that could not be concealed made Lin Zihao on the side look at it.
"Chu Chu, Chu Chu she...... She ......, "Xiao Dapeng slurred, and he didn't say where Chu Chu was for a long time.
"Xiao Dapeng, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong with Chu Chu? ”
An Qitong already had a bad premonition, and looking at Xiao Dapeng's appearance, she was even more sure.
"Xiao Dapeng, tell you the truth, what happened to Chu Chu?"
Lin Zihao's words were not loud, and in Xiao Dapeng's ears, he didn't know why, he could hear that Lin Zihao had some emphatic feelings in it when he said the accident.
Accidentally?
Yes, it's an accident, it's an accident!
Xiao Dapeng seemed to understand something, he looked at An Qitong with some sadness, and his voice was a little painful:
"Sister, Chu Chu her, she was eaten by zombies in order to save me! It was an accident, there were too many zombies, I ...... I only cared about the zombies in front of me, and didn't pay attention to the zombies behind me, Chu Chu blocked behind me in order to save me, I ...... I don't have someone to protect her! It's me who is sorry for her! ”
After speaking, Xiao Dapeng let out a cry of pain, as if he was going to cry away all the sadness and fear in his heart.
"You mean Chu Chu is dead!"
An Qitong didn't believe it, Chu Chu died to save Xiao Dapeng?
Although she is not familiar with Chu Chu, she has also seen it in the past two days, Chu Chu is more afraid of facing zombies than her, why is she suddenly so brave to block zombies for Xiao Dapeng? Is it because Chu Chu loves Xiao Dapeng?
There were a lot of questions in her mind, and she always felt that things should not be as simple as Xiao Dapeng said, but seeing that Xiao Dapeng was crying all over the place, Lin Zihao on the side didn't say anything, so she had to swallow the words again.
Brother Hu, who was standing on the side, estimated that he had seen more such scenes in the last days, and he walked to Lin Zihao's side.
"Brother, how about we go out and talk? Don't worry, aren't you back alone, your sister will be taken care of by him. ”
Lin Zihao looked at Brother Hu, and then looked at Xiao Dapeng, who had changed from standing to sitting on the ground, and he was a little irritable in his heart.
"Don't worry, just for a while, don't delay your business."
Brother Tiger patted Lin Zihao's shoulder with a smile, and the deep meaning in his eyes made Lin Zihao suddenly feel like he wanted to know the answer to the question.
Lin Zihao didn't refuse again, he told An Qitong:
"You and Xiao Dapeng are here, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back."
An Qitong nodded, she was still thinking about how to ask Xiao Dapeng about the matter clearly.
Watching Lin Zihao follow Brother Hu out, An Qitong took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to Xiao Dapeng, who was sitting on the ground.
"Xiao Dapeng, don't cry. How did Chu Chu die? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Dapeng seemed to be a little frightened, and the things in his eyes made An Qitong incomprehensible, like guilt, like persuasion, and more like fear and avoidance.
Guilty, An Qitong can still understand, what is going on with this persuasion and evasion?
"What's wrong with you? It doesn't matter, right? ”
An Qitong was a little frightened by Xiao Dapeng's appearance, worried that he wasn't hit by Chu Chu's death, right? Why can't you see the sparkle in your eyes?
She can't see Xiao Dapeng's smug look before because he showed off his wealth, and she can't see the pride of stinky farts because he brags about himself, is this Xiao Dapeng still Xiao Dapeng?
"I'm fine, yes, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Xiao Dapeng repeatedly said that he was very good, and clutched the paper towel in his hand vigorously, the force was too great, the plastic packaging bag of the paper towel was burst, and An Qitong seemed to see a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
It's very problematic, An Qitong can be sure, but Xiao Dapeng recovered quickly, and he can no longer see that it is the crying and incompetent Xiao Dapeng just now, which is incomprehensible.
"Girl, do you have anything to eat, I'm so hungry!"
Xiao Dapeng looked at An Qitong, and his eyes were already calm, as if it was just An Qitong's illusion just now.
"Oh, yes, I'll get it for you."
As he spoke, An Qitong turned around and took out a bag of ham sausages from his backpack, thought about it and added another bread and a bottle of milk, these things were still taken from Grandma Wang's house.
She handed it to Xiao Dapeng, and saw Xiao Dapeng gobbling up everything quickly.
