Chapter 21: The Candy

Mu Tong smiled, "How old do you think I am?" ”

"Definitely not more than eighteen!" Yao Jinghong looked confident, "Am I right?" ”

Mu Tong just smiled and said nothing. To be honest, she herself doesn't know how old she is. It seems that he is indeed not very old, but in front of Yao Jinghong, it is better not to be so honest in this regard.

She didn't answer, Yao Jinghong took her as a default, and immediately looked even more proud, "Hmph, I know you're not old." But the skills are really powerful, girl, is the family a martial arts family or a military family? But looking at the black knife you are holding, it should be a little more likely to be a martial arts family, right?! ”

"Okay, why do you talk so much? Be careful, we're out on patrol. If there are other living people around, it will be even more difficult to deal with than zombies! ”

That's exactly what happened. No matter how powerful the zombies are, they are all dead things, and they have no ability to think. But people are much more cunning and have to be guarded against. Hearing this, Yao Jinghong quickly shut her mouth.

The community here is very large, and because it is next to the river, there is a breeze that blows on the body, and it is very cool on the body. The greening in the community is very good, with green grass and green trees. Standing here, there is an illusion that it is not the end of the world, and it seems that a truck will drive in from the entrance of the community in the next second, with various decoration materials behind it. Then the car stopped under a certain building, and the workers in the car got out of the car, carried the materials upstairs and began to work. Mu Tong is a little caught in fantasy~

"Mu Tong, look, what's over there?!" Yao Jinghong suddenly exclaimed.

Mu Tong immediately regained his clarity and looked in the direction indicated by Yao Jinghong. Sure enough, there were several men in the direction Yao Jinghong pointed out, looking sneaky, and there was a person in his hand. Looks like the man can't do it. Mu Tong motioned for Yao Jinghong to dodge, and the two of them hurriedly took advantage of the cover of the bushes next to them to carefully pay attention to the movement in the distance.

Sure enough, she felt that something was wrong, in such a community built by the river, because there were few people in the middle of nowhere, there were naturally fewer zombies. But it is the best place for all kinds of teams to rest in the later stage. Now that it's been a month since the zombie outbreak, it can't be that there is no one here.

"Look, what are those people doing?"

"It should be, bury the corpse~" Mu Tong looked at the soil over there, and immediately guessed.

"Bury the body?!" Yao Jinghong exclaimed.

"Fresh flesh attracts zombies, and people who have just died are no exception. It's just that these people buried the whole body like this, in case the dead body is also infected with zombie poison, I don't know if it will be~" Mu Tong looked worried.

Yao Jinghong was a little nervous, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”

Mu Tong hesitated. Actually, they were just staying here for one night, so there was no need to provoke those people. But watching them bury the corpses, Mu Tong was always a little uneasy~

"Hey, let's go check it out! Perhaps they had already discovered us. If we touch it at night, won't we have to lose a lot?! ”

This sentence poked Mu Tong's heart. You have to take the initiative in doing things, otherwise you will completely lose control of things.

"Let's go!"

Yao Jinghong nodded resolutely and immediately followed behind Mu Tong.

The man over there was digging a pit, and there was a lot of movement, so Mu Tong and Yao Jinghong quietly approached without noticing. Not far behind those people, there were a few people lying there in a row, with obvious blood stains on their bodies. Mu Tong only glanced at it before retracting his gaze, and then continued to focus on the few men who were digging the pit. These people are not very well dressed, stepping on the black cloth shoes worn by the workers, with white spots on them, a bit like the kind of stucco workers who ask for work on the side of the road!

The clothes were suddenly ripped by Yao Jinghong, Mu Tong turned his head to look at her, and found that Yao Jinghong's eyes were still with obvious disbelief and sadness, pointing to the three corpses lying behind, and made a mouth gesture towards Mu Tong.

Mu Tong could see at a glance that what she was talking about was that those three people were actually the family of three in the supermarket! Mu Tong looked over carefully, but no, that little body, still wearing a light pink sunscreen shirt, wasn't it the little guy she also stuffed her with sugar!

"Fourth, did you feel the candy on that child's body? Sugar is a good thing! ”

Then a rough voice said, "I have already felt it!" Hehe, it's for that kid's candy. As soon as I poured it down, Lao Tzu touched out all the sugar! ”

"Hehe, fourth, give me one later!"

"Roll the edge!"

"Okay you two, hurry up and get to work! It's not safe out there after all, and if those cannibalistic things come out again, we'll be finished! A distinctly older voice rang out unpleasantly. The two bickering men immediately stopped talking and began to work with their heads bored.

Mu Tong's brain went blank when he heard it. Just for that kid's candy! She never imagined that it was actually a few pieces of candy she gave to that child, but in the end it killed her! Mu Tong only felt that her feet were soft, Yao Jinghong hurriedly hugged her and sat on the ground with her. Although Yao Jinghong had tried her best to avoid making a sound, there was a momentum in the end, and she made a slight sound.

"Who?! Who's there?! "The three men over there found out what was going on here.

"Old, uncle, over there, isn't that thing?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, there hasn't been anyone here, where are the zombies?"

"You said there were fewer people here. Usually there are few people, and at this time, there are only zombies! ”

"Ahh What the hell is it, don't scare people! ”

"Okay, okay, this pit is almost over, hurry up and throw the three of them in, cover it with dirt, let's leave quickly!" The eldest man, who was called the uncle, was also visibly a little frightened by the other two, and finally compromised.

Then there was the rustling and thudging. Then there was the sound of shovels shoveling dirt, and after a while, the men ran away like ghosts.

Yao Jinghong watched a few of them disappear into the building not far away, and then she let out a long breath and looked at Mu Tong, who was a little pale, "Mu Tong, are you okay?!" ”

Mu Tong bit his lip and looked at Yao Jinghong, and suddenly his eyes were a little red.

"Jinghong, I hurt them~"

"What?" Yao Jinghong exclaimed.

"I gave her all the candy in that little guy's pocket!"

"Huh? Is that so?! Yao Jinghong thought about it, and immediately understood that it should have been when she came to the supermarket, and when Mu Tong came out and arrived, Brother Da Fei had given her some supplies. I didn't expect her to be so generous, so she gave it all to this child. But now, because of these candies, this family of three has lost their lives~

Yao Jinghong opened her mouth, only to feel a little bitter in her mouth, "Mu Tong, don't be too sad, this is not something you can foresee." You were also kind at the beginning, candy is a very precious thing. No one could have imagined that they would be killed because of these sugars. In other words, they didn't hide their stuff well. ”

Mu Tong shook his head, his expression a little painful.

Because she has long been prepared, she can face this bleak and cruel world, face those zombies, those cruelty. Until now, she had done a good job. But after seeing the little girl who lost her life because of her candy, Mu Tong's psychological defense finally collapsed. What kind of world is this! She's just a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world, and there are only a dozen or so candies in total! Just because of so many candies, just a few candies!

"Mu Tong!" Yao Jinghong grabbed Mu Tong's shoulders and half-hugged her, "Mu Tong, that's not your fault, it's not your fault!" ”

"Jinghong~" Mu Tong's voice was full of pain, "Those people, how can they be so vicious!" Such a little child, that family, finally escaped the poisonous hands of zombies, but finally died in the hands of people! "Zombies, the greatest crisis of mankind. But at such a time, those people can still kill each other and mutilate their own people!

Yao Jinghong listened to it both sarcastically and sadly, "What you said, haven't you seen the news?" In the various news every year, are there still few people who are extremely vicious? ”

"But now is the end of the world, and mankind is probably going to perish!"

"So what? At all times, these vicious people are all in existence, and in their eyes, there is never such a thing as a human crisis, because they are completely selfish. Yao Jinghong couldn't help laughing, "In this way, you look like those ignorant little girls." Well, I should take back what I said before, you are indeed not eighteen years old, and I am afraid that even sixteen years old is a bit dangerous! Or a small sapling that thrives under the socialist sun! ”

Mu Tong closed his eyes fiercely, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes. She doesn't know, she doesn't know anything. Perhaps, in fact, all her strength is barely pretended, in fact, her heart is still fragile. It could have been hidden before, but the death of that little girl became the last bit of force that broke her nerves. In fact, she has never been so strong, she has always been fragile~

On the way back, both men were silent. Mu Tong's psychological defense line was broken, and she desperately needed to find an exit and then re-establish it. Yao Jinghong knows that she is complicated in her heart now, and she also understands this kind of thing, only if she wants to understand it herself, otherwise what others say will not work.

However, before entering the door, Yao Jinghong couldn't help but grab Mu Tong and said, "Mu Tong, you are still young." But I think you still have to be mentally prepared, there must be a lot more cruel things than this along the way, if you are still so fragile, then sooner or later, you will completely collapse! ”

Mu Tong nodded silently, "Jinghong, I understand what you mean, thank you." Or, it's just because I know that girl, and her death has something to do with me, so I'm ~" Thinking like this, Mu Tong felt that he was even a little hypocritical.

Yao Jinghong shook her head, "No matter what the reason is, you need to start arming yourself from now on." There will be many similar things in the future, and you can't always adjust it when you encounter one thing, right? ”

Mu Tong nodded seriously.
