Chapter 12: A Hot Lunch
When the morning came, there was a depression among the people. A new day also means a new challenge.
Mu Tong told everyone about the route he had studied last night. Everyone accepted it passively and passively, Mu Tong's strength was the strongest, and no one dared to raise objections. And in the bottom of my heart, everyone is not unaware, this is something that will be faced sooner or later, obviously, the sooner you face it, the greater the benefits to the future. It's just that in my heart, it is difficult to cross that threshold after all.
It's just that Qin Sulan's expression is weird. Mu Tong felt that she always seemed to be peeking at herself~
"Qin Sulan?!"
"Huh? What for?! Qin Sulan was flustered at first, but quickly calmed down.
Mu Tong glanced at her suspiciously, suppressing the doubts in his heart. Continue to distribute tasks. But as soon as he said it, Qin Sulan's strange gaze followed again.
Mu Tong pushed the map, "What are you looking at?" ”
With Mu Tong's questioning, everyone's eyes also shifted to Qin Sulan, their eyes inquiring.
Qin Sulan bit her lip, but she still looked like she wanted to say something. However, Yao Jinghong couldn't hold her breath at first, glared at Qin Sulan and said angrily, "What can you say?" We don't have time waiting for you to be here! ”
Qin Sulan's face quickly turned red, and she glared at Yao Jinghong, "Of course I don't have anything I can't say!" I just think it's weird~" As he spoke, he looked at Mu Tong, who was standing silently. "In the middle of the night last night, I woke up occasionally and didn't see you! It was a little over an hour, and then I fell asleep. Where the hell did you run last night? "In the end, it's a bit of a teacher to ask for sin.
The others also fell silent instantly, their eyes turned from Qin Sulan's body, and then fell on Mu Tong's body. Compared with Mu Tong, who is currently the strongest but almost a stranger, everyone is naturally more inclined to their classmate Mu Tong. Although she kept dragging everyone back not long ago, the problem at hand is a problem involving trust. Everyone can't help but worry, it's so late, Mu Tong is not here, what do you want to do?
"Mu Tong, where did you go last night?" Zhao Meng asked directly, "We are now a team after all, and you are the team leader, so you shouldn't hide anything from us." ”
"Indeed!" Liu Bin also nodded, "We don't suspect you of anything, you can't have anything to do with those monsters outside." It's just like Zhao Meng said, your private actions are not only dangerous to you, but if there is a mistake, we can't get out of it! ”
The others stopped talking, but looking at Mu Tong's eyes, there were obvious doubts and strictness.
Mu Tong sighed in his heart, such a state that was close to questioning, he was really uncomfortable in his heart. But there is nothing wrong with that, after all, in such a severe environment, trust between people has become weak.
"I did go out last night." Mu Tong nodded and admitted, "Because there is a community pharmacy nearby." There were still very few zombies roaming around here, so no one else was called. As he spoke, he took out a lot of emergency medicine from his backpack to confirm his words.
Looking at the various Western medicines she placed on the ground, Yao Jinghong seemed to be relieved, "Mu Tong, don't take it to heart." We, we mean nothing else. I'm just worried..."
Worried that she would abandon them, they had seen too many examples of abandonment along the way out of school. Although this is really too unproductive. Moreover, they are also afraid that if Mu Tong secretly goes out and is infected with the virus, then without everyone's knowledge, once she mutates when everyone is defenseless, then the consequences will be unimaginable. When the virus was just raging, how many people fell into the hands of the most familiar people like this unguarded~
Yao Jinghong didn't finish speaking, but Mu Tong also understood her unfinished words.
"I know, I was too reckless in this matter. I promise, I'll pay attention to it later. "This incident is already a warning, her space is a secret, and it is not yet time to reveal it all. It seems that you really have to be absolutely careful when entering and exiting the space in the future. Otherwise, before a stronger relationship of trust is established, I am afraid that sooner or later it will collapse because of these details. Her purpose is not only to survive in this troubled world, but also to help more people within her ability.
Qin Sulan also looked at the evidence that Mu Tong put on the ground, and had nothing to say. Or that she wasn't actually targeting Mu Tong in the first place, but just plain afraid. Besides, although she is squeamish and a little white-eyed, Mu Tong's partiality towards them, especially girls, can still be seen. So in her subconscious, she is also a little dependent on Mu Tong. Once Mu Tong leaves this team for some reason, then she will definitely not have a better life than now. Even, I don't know when, she will be the next object to be abandoned!
This incident is like a small episode, and everyone's spirit is more involved in the zombies wandering outside. Mu Tong told the route that everyone was walking again. Everyone nodded with solemn faces, indicating that they obeyed Mu Tong's arrangement.
"This time we have the same queue order. But I'm still saying the same thing, now is the best time for you to practice, and now that the number of zombies roaming around the city is small, we can still take care of each other. Once you go out of the city in the future, or when you are surrounded by zombies in some special circumstances, you will really have to rely on yourself. Therefore, I hope you can exercise your love and will as soon as possible, and bravely face those zombies! Mu Tong's sonorous words made a final summary for the next actions.
The faces of the people were different, and after listening to it, they automatically dispersed to make final corrections. Wait until seven o'clock before everyone officially departs.
Yao Jinghong always stays by Mu Tong's side. This can't help but feel some envy and admiration, "Mu Tong, you are awesome!" If only I had the same strong nerves as you. ”
"My nerves aren't tough at all!" Mu Tong folded the map and put it in his backpack, and turned his eyes to look at Yao Jinghong, "I'm also scared, and I also want to find a place to nest for the rest of my life, and I don't have to face the zombies outside again." But that's impossible, we all know it's fantasy. Then just get rid of all the fantasies! It has been nearly a month since the zombie outbreak has been now, and if we can no longer face reality, then sooner or later, we will die in our own luck and fantasies. ”
Yao Jinghong nodded solemnly, "I understand!" I'll face it, from now on! ”
Mu Tong patted her on the shoulder. She believes that Yao Jinghong is a resilient girl and has a strong ability to accept reality. Perhaps, she will be her faithful and capable companion in the future.
I have to say that Mu Tong's eye for people is still very good. In the future, Yao Jinghong really grew into a strong and tough female general, and she was her right-hand man, and even rescued her in danger more than once...
At seven o'clock, a team of people set off on time.
On the bleak streets, there are occasionally one or two zombies wandering, which is much better than the situation around the supermarket. It seems that the movement speed of these zombies is still relatively slow, and the zombies without a purpose are moving blankly, and there is still some peace here for a while.
Several people behind him breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Tong glanced back at the few people who were happy, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but he still pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. In fact, she wanted to warn these people that even if there were few zombies here, they should not be taken lightly. After all, no one knows where zombies will emerge from in the process of searching for supplies. Just thinking about it, after all, they are no better than themselves, they have predicted in advance that they have psychological construction, and they have space to rely on relatively something. They are just ordinary people, and for zombies with hideous faces and injuries that are about to die, just face-to-face with them requires a very strong psychological element, let alone fighting with them. Forget it, based on the situation nearby, it shouldn't be too dangerous, so let them relax for a while.
In fact, the so-called relaxation is just a few people's faces that are not so grim. Following the route set earlier, several people quickly found convenience stores and pharmacies on the street. These shops are locked, and it is obvious that the people inside have long since withdrawn, so there is no need to worry about zombies suddenly rushing out inside. However, for the sake of safety, Mu Tong still instructed everyone again, and then Zhao Meng smashed the window glass, and then everyone rushed in and hurriedly loaded various materials into his backpack.
"High-calorie foods are preferred, such as biscuits, chocolate, sugar and other foods, puffed foods are not allowed!" Mu Tong said loudly.
Everyone nodded, bowing their heads to load their things. Wait until everyone is almost the same, after Mu Tong's palace, let everyone go out first, and then take advantage of the fact that everyone is gone, and put the remaining messy things into the space. Of course, she didn't forget to leave some left, leaving some for the team that searched for supplies later.
Convenience stores are followed by pharmacies, which focus on some emergency medicines. Still after Mu Tong broke off, but this time, Mu Tong almost emptied the medicine in the pharmacy. I'm afraid that everyone only has food in their eyes, and these medicines will only expire if they are left here!
Around noon, the group had swept two street-side convenience stores and a pharmacy in quick succession, which would be in a small supermarket. Such a small supermarket is dedicated to the community, so it is a little more abundant than the convenience store on the street, in addition to a variety of packaged food, there are also some fresh vegetables and meat.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the fresh vegetables inside and the meat in the refrigerator. Since the end of the world, everyone has not eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. Although there is no shortage of these things in the supermarket, because it is a long-term stronghold for everyone, if you cook, you are afraid that it will attract the attention of the zombies outside, so everyone can only watch those vegetables rot. But this time, will they be able to eat it? Everyone looked at Mu Tong with a faint expectation in their eyes.
