Tales from Another World (10)
"Oh yes!" Then the field team member and a poor black number eight quickly ran away with the tools.
Kuroko: "......"
Venus, the only one who didn't run, laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he said that he was really tired of seeing you guys, and that he could not hold the hardwood with a small axe, and that it was very good to be able to cut down four of you in one morning.
Kuroko looked at the four giant trees piled up on the ground and smiled a little embarrassed.
At noon, the field team members were spread out on their chairs, barely having the strength to raise their hands to eat, their eyes were hollow, and their clothes and hair were disheveled.
Only SFF and Black One can use cutlery more freely.
There is stir-fried food at noon today, although it is vegetarian, but with some canned meat, the taste is still very good.
Kuroko came back, sat down at the table, the sweat on his head still dripping down again, took a few deep breaths, and then began to eat. Feeling that he had lost his black No. 6 mouth, he was not idle, and shouted weakly: "Why do you basically have a girlfriend when you can eat by yourself, who will comfort me as a single dog!" O God! β
When SFF heard this, he stole a glance at Black Five, but Black Five didn't look at it.
Still hurting.
It wasn't for nothing that Black One was asked to count weapons with Blue Three before, and Blue Three looked in a better state of mind at noon today, and the Enchantress sat next to Kuroko and asked him softly if he needed to feed it, and Kuroko smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this scene of showing affection, the field single dogs led by Black Six scolded one after another, adding fuel and vinegar to how they were squeezed by sunspots in the morning.
In fact, they don't really can't eat it themselves, but it's really difficult, by the way, find an interface to ridicule the sunspot, everyone laughed when they heard it, and the sunspot felt that this thing was really a bit stupid, so he laughed a little embarrassed.
At this time, SSSS came down from the balcony, and just heard Black Six shouting again, so he asked him with great concern if he needed help.
"I'm full, I'm going to take a lunch break, I can't work in the afternoon, it's too hard." Black No. 6 was fed for lunch and immediately began to pretend to be miserable.
When the black number two saw him, he couldn't help but sigh that some people really have no bottom line.
Kuroko looked around and asked, "How many are there that can move in the afternoon?" β
"Don't cut down trees." Everyone said in unison.
Kuroko touched his head and smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't cut down trees, go to work." β
"Then I can." Black One said, holding up his hand.
"I'm okay too." GGG moved his wrist and didn't feel particularly tired.
SFF nodded.
"Then let's leave at two o'clock in the afternoon, Venus you don't work, so let's go together in the afternoon."
"Actually, I don't think it's useful for me to go, I haven't fired a single shot until now." Venus stroked her long, silky brown hair with her hand.
"That's not good? Even if you want to shoot, the situation is already critical. Kuroko teased. You're the ultimate weapon at the bottom of our box. β
Venus smiled heartily, patted Kuroko's shoulder vigorously and said, "Sister likes this." β
"Then it's settled, let's all go back and rest." Kuroko stood up and moved his muscles and bones, feeling really tired.
"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" Black Two, still struggling with the food on his plate, looked up and asked.
"Don't you always think that the shotgun is a man's romance." Kuroko laughed.
"You can't say that, the caliber is." Black Two felt that his statement was not rigorous enough.
"Caliber can't decide everything, let's go get some real men's toys for you this afternoon."
"What are real men playing?"
"Real men play with chainsaws."
β¦β¦
The five of them got into the black No. 1 car, which had been slammed by the zombie before, and the left side of the car was dented and stained with blood.
"You're in good shape, right? If there is a situation, you must say it as soon as possible, I don't want you to die outside. Kuroko seemed to be pointing.
"No problem, don't worry." Black One responded with a smile.
"I've got something! It's not about coming. Venus said sullenly.
"Don't be so angry when you get up, promise good things, you say yes." For the only lesbian in the team plus his girlfriend's best friend, Kuroko thinks it's still necessary to coax it.
Venus was still not very happy. Black One wanted to drive but didn't know where to go, so he turned around and asked, "Do any of you know where to sell chainsaws?" β
"There must be logging land." SFF clasped his fingers and said absent-mindedly.
"Nonsense, the question is how there is logging over here."
"Go to the countryside, drive to the countryside, there will be sales over there." GGG said as he sat in the passenger seat.
"Over there at Black Six?"
"Don't go over there, go south."
"It's too far to the south, it takes two hours to get there, and it's six o'clock back and forth." Black One was a little worried.
"Don't panic, just drive faster, anyway, there are no traffic police now." GGG still looks like that's inconsiderate.
ββ¦β¦ What do you say, Xuan-kun. β
"Let's go back quickly, we have guns anyway, so if we can't do it, we'll spend the night there."
"People here will be worried, and now we can't get in touch, we don't have military satellites."
"There's no way around it, and you can't just think about eating meat and not getting beaten up." Kuroko feels like he's been assimilated by Black Six, and the more nervous things are, the more witty they become.
β¦β¦
At about half past three, a group of people who hurried all the way came to a small town near the countryside, and found that the street was full of people, and the small shop was still open, and someone was open inside.
ββ¦β¦ Damn, there's nothing going on in this place. SFF was stunned.
"I don't know, could it be that these zombies have evolved camouflage?" Venus looked at it for a while, but still couldn't find any flaws.
"Anyway, pay attention to safety, if it's a normal person, it's illegal for us to go down with guns and knives, I'll go down and take a look first." Kuroko opened the car door and walked cautiously into the street, not daring to get too close to people.
"You're from outside?" A white man in a police uniform in his thirties suddenly shouted Kuroko behind his back.
"That's right, we're students from Oriental Shopping High School." Kuroko turned around and saw that the policeman had already grasped the gun, and the muzzle of the gun was half-raised, so he raised his hand to signal that he was not threatening.
"Do you have an infected person in your car?" The policeman looked at the bloodstained car with a bad look.
"No, we are all normal people, we want to come over to exchange for some supplies, hasn't your town been infected by the epidemic?"
"Let them get out of the car and put their hands where I can see them." As he spoke, another police officer rushed here, forming a situation of encirclement.
Kuroko asked the rest of the team to get out of the car and raised his hands above his head. Two police officers stepped forward to check on their bodies for wounds. When she met Venus, she had some trouble and was scolded back, and the police didn't look like she was infected when they saw her so energetic.
When the inspection was over, the policeman led by the police put away the gun, went up to shake Kuroko's hand, and apologized.
"I apologize for pointing a gun at you just now, and now you're free. But I hope you can understand, after all, the whole world is crazy now, and my town is lucky, because there are not too many people, and we need to take necessary precautions against outsiders. β
"You're the sheriff here?" Kuroko asked the police officer, who was obviously taking the lead.
"Well, I'm now Sheriff and Acting Administrator, and the original Chief Executive went crazy - he's been killed." The officer's expression was resolute, and it was clear that he must be the kind of person who was very responsible.
Kuroko stretched out his hand again to introduce himself, "I'm Kuroko, and this town is lucky to have someone like you to protect it. β
Fang Erwen. Can you ask what you want here? β
"Chainsaw, we need to build fortifications."
"It's better to stay, it's better to take care of the big guys." Fang Erwen suggested.
Kuroko muttered for a moment, "We still have more than a dozen partners. β
"You can bring it along, we have a lot of empty houses here."
"We'll discuss it when we get back, thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome, all those who survive in this situation have to help each other. By the way, we are now using barter, the original currency is no longer in circulation, I hope you can find what you want here, I still have to go on patrol, I am out of company. β
"Please." Kuroko talked politely with the sheriff named Fang Erwen.
After the police officers had withdrawn, Kuroko got into the car again and asked, "How many guns did we bring this time?" β
"What do you want to do? It's definitely not enough to kill all the people here. GGG was shocked, he didn't expect the sunspot to be fiercer than himself.
"What are you thinking? I just spoke to the policeman and he said it's bartering here, let's get guns for some chainsaws, luckily no money, otherwise I wouldn't know where to get the money. β
"Five guns, two hundred rounds of ammunition." Black No. 1 said, "You're the captain, you can't pay attention to this kind of thing when it's coming." β
"I'm humble enough to accept criticism, how about we get two guns and forty rounds of ammunition to exchange two chainsaws with him later?"
"The price is lower." SFF rubbed her nose and said in a still-absent-minded look.
"What then?"
"Let's come back tomorrow and bring more things."
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the sheriff was interested in recruiting us into their town, what do you say?"
"I think it's good, but I'll have to listen to them. Our family background is not so good, and we all moved here. Venus said.
"Just go back and ask, if you plan to move here, you don't need to buy a chainsaw."
After everyone decided, they drove back.
β¦β¦
Before dinner, the five of them rushed back to the villa, and after dinner, Kuroko held a meeting.
He first told the rest of the people about today's events, and everyone was amazed.
"Peach Blossom Spring." Black Six thought for a long time and thought of a Xia Guo word.
"Avalon." Xu Chu teased with the legend of hope.
"Let's vote by a show of hands, this matter is about whether the team will stay or not, and I can't decide alone." Black Five Pagoda stood up and said, "But the pros and cons are obvious, we may be relatively safe there, but if the town collapses from the inside one day, we may have to deal with more zombies." β
"And," Kuroko chimed in, "according to the soldiers who came to me that day, their satellite imagery shows that the zombies would gather somewhere or stay away in a circle. β
"What does this mean?" Black One asked.
"This means that there may be two unknown forces that can attract or disperse them, simply to control them, and in this case, the worst-case scenario is to form a huge tide of corpses and move in a directional direction." Black Two analyzed.
"Yes, but it's not proven, it's just a theory, it may or may not happen, I'm just telling you about some of the potential possibilities, and we're going to have to give up some resources if we want to move. The vote is now ready to begin. β
The final result was that six people did not raise their hands, and the rest of the people agreed to move their positions, and Mr. Andelu abstained.
The people who didn't raise their hands were Kuroko, Xu Chu, Black One, Black Six, Black Two and GGG.
"Looks like you're worried about this?" Black Five saw that the four boys who had more power to speak in the past did not raise their hands, and it felt as if this matter was not so simple.
Kuroko nodded and said, "I don't have any objection to this matter itself, but...... What I saw at school that day was not so reassuring, and I felt like the last time I saw Melvin, his ...... Words, it has become a lot. β
"Maybe it's because he's too nervous." Black Five doesn't know much about Melvin in general, and she doesn't really like the rock-like guy very much.
"The minority obeys the majority, and since it has been decided, it obeys the arrangement, it doesn't matter." Black No. 2 has always been very understanding of what others are thinking.
"Well, we have no objections." Black One replied as well.
"Then the results of the meeting are announced below, the vote for the relocation of the shelter, six votes against, eight votes in favor, and one abstention, then the next plan has been decided, starting tomorrow to pack up our things, let's leave for the countryside as soon as possible."
Black Six, who has always talked a lot, didn't say a word this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Black Six came to the rooftop, but climbed onto the eaves, and lay there with his hands crossed behind his head, looking at the starry sky.
Kuroko also came to sit on the rooftop, and when he found the slightly darker black six, he smiled at him and said, "It's so quiet today, it's not like you anymore." β
"I've always been like this when no one is around." Black Six held that position.
"Aren't you going to talk to someone? What about the crooks? "Kuroko knows him too well.
ββ¦β¦ Life is so difficult, can't you go deep with me? Black Six propped up his upper body with his head arched, looked at Kuroko and gave him a blank look.
"But you're really rare like this, what's wrong?"
"Nervous."
"You're going to have a time like this, it's really rare. It's okay, Blue Three won't get that near-prophetic power now? Since she didn't object, it means that this matter is not too dangerous. β
She ...... It's getting more and more abnormal. β
"Haha, it feels like a god, but I think it's a talent, as long as he can adjust his mental state, I think it's okay."
"I hate things that science can't explain."
"Hallelujah." Kuroko teased with a smile.
Black Six looked at the sky, was silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "If you really decide so, I have to leave." β
Hearing this, Kuroko began to realize the seriousness of the problem, and she frowned and said, "You trust your sixth sense so much? Did something happen that day at Black Six Manor? β
Nothing makes sense and that's it.
"Nope." Black Six is indifferent.
"You lied to me." Kuroko frowned.
"Believe it or not." The attitude of not caring about anything may be the nature of Black Six.
"Can you tell us why you did this? Or do you have the confidence to live alone? β
"You can't save everyone, Kuroko. Only one person is most likely to survive, how many of these fifteen people do you think will survive to the end? β
"Then why are you coming?"
ββ¦β¦ I, and the people I meet. β
"Why are you leaving?"
"I don't want to see her die."
"What the hell happened that day?!" Kuroko felt that Black Six must be hiding something, and he was furious.
"It's something you don't want to know. Why bother? Black Six's voice still hasn't changed.
"In this world, any information we don't know can determine our life and death." Kuroko's hand pointed down fiercely, expressing his anger.
His voice was so loud that it alarmed the people downstairs. The Enchantress and the Black Five ran up to check on the situation.
"What's the quarrel?" The Enchantress said with concern.
"Your boyfriend came 'those two days.'" Black Six teased.
Kuroko's face was not very good-looking, he turned to look at the two girls, walked over and hugged the enchantress, and left.
"What's going on?" Black Five asked.
"Don't you want to hurry up and fall in love before the world is destroyed? If it were me, I would do it. Black Six smirked.
"Seriously, what did you say?"
Black Six sighed and said, "Everyone asks that, isn't it interesting?" Then no matter how much the Black Five asked, he refused to speak.
In the evening, Blue Three suddenly finds Black Five and says she thinks it might not be a good thing to move there. Black Five asks if she's been sapient again, and Blue Three nods.
"Why didn't you say it earlier. At the time of the referendum. "Love and a bit of a headache, now this situation is not easy to change.
"It came out of nowhere...... I'm counting my items. Blue Three said apologetically.
"Now that public opinion has been generated, it can no longer be changed." Black Five was worried.
β¦β¦
"There is also a whetstone in the materials that Black Six has exchanged, which is very good, I was afraid that I would dull the knife." Black No. 1 was enthusiastically maintaining the knife during the vigil.
"The whetstone is for sharpening axes, right? Won't you have a problem grinding like this? Black Two asked.
"There will always be a little problem, but it's good to have one, how can you be so picky." Black One sharpened his knife carefully. The adaptability of the whetstone varies greatly depending on the number of meshes, so the change in strength and the number of times it is sharpened needs to be explored, and Black One, an expert in playing with knives, also needs to be careful to try.
"Do you think we're going to have problems moving this time?" Black Number Two asked.
"I thinkβI will."
"Did the Blue Three tell you?"
"No, if she says why she approves of it, it's just my gut feeling."
"I've heard that you Japanese samurai specialize in developing intuition when you practice, like a blindfolded man with a bamboo knife coming to you in the back to cut you. Is it true? "Black No. 2 is interested.
"Probably...... Similarly, I think it's used to exercise the body's senses, so that people can look at the enemy beyond their eyes. β
"Are you waiting to do it?"
"Yes......"
β¦β¦
Two days later, the large and small boxes were loaded into the truck, and fifteen people got on the bus, but because there were not enough seats, Kuroko was very aggrieved and squatted in the truck compartment with luggage.
Hao Hao Tang Tang four cars at the same time, such a situation is rare at this time.
Sergeant Fang Erwen received them very warmly and assigned them three houses, all of which were next to each other.
When I opened the door, the room was quite tidy, but it was not cleaned, and there was a faint smell of dust.
The place became more spacious, and everyone's happiness index increased a lot.
Fang Erwen was not embarrassed to tell everyone that there was water, food, shelter and protection, but everyone needed to work, engage in production or something, so he wanted to hear what the new young people were capable of, so he could assign work.
Everyone is a top student of Oriental shopping, most of them have been specially recruited by famous schools, and they are naturally big people in rural towns, and everyone's resume can see Fang Erwen's eyes glow.
"Are you the son of Head Mo?" Fang Erwen asked Heizi, "When I was in service, I almost entered the special combat team. β
"You're amazing." Kuroko laughed.
Fang Erwen said with some embarrassment: "Didn't you go in yet, if I recruited one more that year, I would have entered." However, he later entered the service of the Dilong Special Forces. Then he was stunned, thinking that the sunspot was not beside the black hole, and he seemed to understand something in his heart, but he still tried to ask, "Captain Mo, how is it now?" β
Kuroko said calmly: "I don't know, he led his troops to fight, and now the copper whiskers can't be connected, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem." β
Fang Erwen's heart settled for a moment, and he asked again, "Why didn't he come to save you?" β
"I've been here, but I can't take so many people with me, I don't want to live alone, so I stayed."
Fang Erwen stretched out his thumb and praised Heizi for being the son of Commander Mo.
Later, Kuroko, Black One, SFF, Black Eight Color, Black Six Color, GGG, and Xu Chu joined the garrison, Black Number Two, Blue Number Three, Black Five Pagoda, SSSS, and Andrew went to the Government Affairs Hall to deal with affairs, Venus went to the hospital as the deputy of the Enchantress, and EGG was responsible for monitoring the town.
Everyone had no objections, and at night, after everything was moved in and basically sorted out. The Black Six drove away in his sports car.
He also took with him a crossbow with two hundred rounds of crossbow arrows, an axe and a crowbar, and hundreds of rounds of pistol and shotgun ammunition, and no one knew where he went.
Later, after everyone found out about this, Kuroko revealed to everyone the conversation he had with Black Six two days ago, and everyone was silent.
But for a period of time, the days were very stable, there was no need for Kuroko to take the team to leave the security area to collect food outside, there were farmland, livestock, and even bread in the countryside, although the variety was not as diverse as normal, but it was indeed much better than when it was at Kuroko's house, and there were a lot of canned food and fast food left, Black Five said to put them in the car, and put some ammunition and guns in case of emergency.
At Kuroko's suggestion, the town built fortifications, built a gate at the intersection leading to the town, and placed sandbags around it almost around the town, and more than 20 people in the police station worked for nearly two months after the expansion, and it was almost the autumn season of September.
"Looking at this continuous sandbag, I feel like we're going to hollow out a mountain." SFF said that after two months, he feels a lot stronger.
"To be honest, I feel that the sheriff really trusts Kuroko, it was so hot before, and the mother worked from morning to night, and ordinary people really couldn't stand it." Although GGG didn't think it would be darker, it was still so hot to get sunburned.
Finally, I can be free, and today there is a bonfire party on the Internet, as a celebration banquet for the initial completion of the fortifications.
According to Fang Erwen, in fact, he had long wanted to hold an event to help everyone stabilize their emotions, but at that time, everyone had just lost their loved ones and experienced turmoil, and they were afraid that it would be too much, and now that it has been two or three months, they can finally sweep away the haze in everyone's hearts.
On that day, hundreds of people took to the streets, lighting charcoal fires, singing, dancing, eating barbecue, bread, and even beer! Kuroko took out a bottle of brandy that his father treasured from home, and had dinner with friends who escaped together, and specially invited Sheriff Fang Erwen, who said that he couldn't drink more, even if there were fortifications, he couldn't take it lightly, just drank two glasses, but in the process of talking, everyone found that Fang Erwen didn't want to be so serious in his usual work, but was very cheerful and talkative, so he came and went, and became friends with everyone.
β¦β¦
It rained a lot in the summer, and the world became darker and darker, but everyone still seemed to be unaware, although the color tone had not been lost too much, and the afternoon sun in the survivors' camp that had just entered autumn was still warm, like the color of an old photograph.
Kuroko stands at the highest point in the town, and the negative emotions often suddenly come to his heart, making him extremely uneasy.
Black No. 6 is on the top of the hill of the Kuroko villa complex, sitting in the rich man's house, the scene of the sea and the sky is mixed with the remnant sun like flowing gold, which is so beautiful that it makes people's heartstrings move. He drank the good sake that Kuroko couldn't bring with him, and looked out the window.
A whale with huge wings flew into the sky from the abyss.
