Chapter 9: Crystal Nucleus
"If we told you where the warehouse was, and each of us helped you move something, would you protect us?" The older girl continued to look at Xiao Quandao.
He looked into the girl's eyes and said, "You put in the work, of course I can protect you, but the premise is that I can do my best, if because of your stupidity, everyone is in a dangerous situation, then I will not hesitate to leave you, and when you become one of them, I will come back and kill you slowly and pick up things." ”
Ignoring the three girls who nodded like chickens pecking rice, he opened the mountaineering bag and said, "Hurry up and pack all the routine medicines, this will reflect your value." ”
The four of them were in the hospital for a while, and when they were sure that everyone was about the same weight, Xiao Quan found a floor-to-ceiling window near the road, carefully smashed the glass with tape, and then took the three of them out of the hospital lightly.
At this time, there was no human voice in the hospital, only the eerie silence and the occasional screaming from upstairs.
Huang Tianguo guarded Ye Zhiqiu waiting outside the traffic gate so much that his heart was about to break, just now there was the sound of cars from the west, and then there was an explosion from the north, and finally it was all quiet, and now the fog around him began to accumulate thicker and thicker, telling him through his sixth sense that he thought he was extremely keen, that danger would burst out at any time.
Just when Huang Tianguo was about to escape by himself, he saw Xiao Quan rushing back with three women in large bags, and let out a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to ask Xiao Quan anything, he could only ask the question he was most concerned about: "Xiao Daxia, where should we go next?" ”
"Of course it's going home, it looks like it's going to be night, and if you don't rush back before that, everyone can't protect themselves." Xiao Quan stopped talking nonsense, he carried a package that was two of his height, carried a bulging mountaineering bag in one hand, and swept the street signs with a sword in the other hand, and then strode in the direction of home.
Because this is the city where he has lived for more than two years, he can easily determine his location based on the buildings.
"When you go back to where you live, don't you have these man-eating monsters?" The girl who was the most daring couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe the place where he is stationed is full of masters, you see that he is so powerful, he must be a member of a gang or some organization." A girl saw that Xiao Quan just walked with her head bored, and without replying, she took the conversation over.
The girl from before shook her head and said to her two companions: "Let's follow closely, no one can take anything, help each other, he said, because of the danger caused by our reasons, he doesn't care." ”
Ignoring what the three people were muttering, the little fat man Huang Tingguo directly picked up Ye Zhiqiu and followed behind with difficulty, followed by three girls rescued from the hospital.
Along the way, he encountered several scattered mutant cats and dogs, all of which were killed by Xiao Quan a few times, and he relied on his experience in killing the female cat in the laboratory building, and when he turned over the corpses of these mutant creatures, he didn't find anything like that cat's eye.
Then, Xiao Quan only threw away the head of an alienated dog, and continued to explore the way with the dog's body - after all, dog meat can be more mouthy than cat meat, although mutant beasts have a sour and sour smell, but it is already a fluke to have a stuttering stomach in this era.
"Hu ......" stepped into the street of the community, Xiao Quan breathed a sigh of relief, it is still relatively clean here, at least, the ground will not see the bitten unrecognizable corpse from time to time, which can also enhance his sense of security to some extent.
However, Xiao Quan still didn't dare to be careless, and today after the catastrophe, no one dared to say that he was safe in the next second.
"Don't hang up that guy!" Thinking of this, Xiao Quan continued to speed up his pace, he was carrying a large bag of medicines, compared to the goods in the grocery store, they were all high-end goods, so he had to use them for Shao Benchu as soon as possible.
As soon as Xiao Quan quickened his pace, the four people behind him could only grit their teeth to keep up.
Huang Tianguo can only follow mechanically now, he doesn't even know that he is still carrying a person, and his whole person is like being hit by a torrential rain.
The three girls who followed him were even more embarrassed, they could only take a small break when Xiao Quan was killing the alien beast along the road, and now the three of them strung together with a discarded pipe and carried it on their shoulders together, one of the girls was still wearing high heels, and they didn't know where to run at this time.
"Brother Xiao!" Xiao Min has been guarding the gate of the community, and when he saw Xiao Quan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, "Where have you been, why are you only coming back now?" ”
Seeing Xiao Min, Xiao Quan opened his mouth and grinned with white teeth and said: "In order to make a living, I would have known that I wouldn't have picked you up, how easy it would be for me to go and help that fat man myself." As he spoke, he dropped his bag and casually stroked Xiao Min's hair with his hand.
"Brother Xiao, I will be sent to another place by Uncle Wang in two days, so you can go to Uncle Wang's shop to work as a helper." Xiao Min didn't resist, just looked up at Xiao Quan and said, his eyes were already red and swollen because he had been crying for a long time.
"Fat Wang dares to sell you?" Xiao Quan glared at Xiao Min and said, "You take me to him now, see if I don't kill him." ”
Hearing Xiao Quan defend her like this, Xiao Min's heart was sweet, she looked at Xiao Quan with a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, you can't beat him, now you can't even beat me, but you have to go to the store, Brother Shao is in the store now." ”
"What? Why did that paralyzed man run to the fat man? Is he awake? Can you go to the ground on your own? Xiao Quan's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Min in disbelief.
"That's not the case, Brother Xiao, you better come over with me to have a look, and explain to you at the place, it's getting dark now, it's not safe, Uncle Wang said, there is a new leader-level zombie today, and it may come here, so he asked me to inform everyone to hide it at night."
"Then I'll let them into the house first, put down the things and I'll go with you." Xiao Quan turned to the little fat man and greeted them.
Xiao Min looked at Xiao Quan timidly and said: "Brother Xiao, your house has been burned to the ground, you still take them with you, Liu Zhikuan said that you must find him to vent his anger, and at this moment he knelt at the door of the grocery store and waited to receive the punishment." ”
Xiao Quan knew that now was not the time to get angry and talk, so he didn't say much, so he asked Xiao Min to lead the way and take the group of five to the grocery store.
In the neighborhood where Xiao Quan was located, the fog had always been thin, so with his strengthened eyesight, he could see a fat man kneeling in front of the grocery store from a distance.
Liu Zhikuan was very discerning, and he didn't occupy the long row of people who came to do the trade, so he knelt straight to the side, looking at his posture of falling at any time, I was afraid that he had been kneeling for some time.
Xiao Quan walked to Liu Zhikuan's side, didn't speak, and directly walked past him and followed Xiao Min into the store, because Shao Benchu was inside.
Seeing that Xiao Quan didn't say a word, Liu Zhikuan's heart trembled even more, and he subconsciously straightened his bent back.
In Xiao Min's room, after carefully examining Shao Benchu, Xiao Quan found that his complexion was better than before, needless to say, this should be the credit of Xiao Min or Wang Fatzi.
Knowing that Shao Benchu was okay for the time being, he was relieved to unload all his things and put them aside, and said to the five people standing at the door: "Min girl will find a place for you to live temporarily, the three of you also said that you are doctors, and the medicines are ready-made, so your main task is to treat Ye Zhiqiu's injuries, and I will arrange you all during the day tomorrow, and from now on, you will have your own destiny." ”
Without waiting for them to say anything, Xiao Quan walked to the grocery store, just in time for Wang Dashan to start closing the shop.
I saw that Wang Dashan ignored the dozens of people queuing outside, and with a stroke of his hand, he directly locked the counter of the transaction, and then closed the door.
"Coming back? What a good harvest! Wang Dashan looked at Xiao Quanle and said.
Xiao Quan, whom he met two months before the catastrophe, strictly speaking, his grocery store was rented from Xiao Quan, who was an intermediary at the time, but the two sides did not intersect after that time.
Then after the catastrophe, when he first opened the shop, Xiao Quan helped him out a few times, although he didn't need it, but this did not prevent him from recognizing Xiao Quan's character, so where he could, he would help if he could.
"Hey, don't mention it, it's just some fake medicine that doesn't work, or I'll sell you a little cheaper?" Xiao Quan didn't panic to ask Wang Dashan, but got up there, he had already had enough of the black-hearted business of this fat man.
"You think I used to trick you?" Wang Dashan played with the iron gall in his hand and looked at Xiao Quan with a frown.
"Of course not," Xiao Quan said happily, and then changed his words: "I think you have been cheating on me all along." ”
"You ......" Wang Dashan was stuck by this sentence, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he smiled angrily: "Okay, I don't know if I'm good to you, and I can be regarded as flattering to the blind." ”
After speaking, he directly reached out to Xiao Quan's arms, and before Xiao Quan could react, a cat's eye appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand and said to Xiao Quan: "This is the most valuable thing I have received since the opening of this small store, how much do you want to sell this crystal nucleus, can you make a price?" ”
