Chapter 498: Returning to Hometown (3)
85_85483The short man's speech speed became faster and faster, and the words became more and more incoherent, seeing that the other party was showing signs of collapse, Xu Renjie withdrew the machete, leaned over and patted the short man who was still chattering, and comforted lightly: "Okay, young man, you calm down, the situation is not as bad as you think!" ”
The short man still repeated: "Big, big brother, I'm really unintentional!" I was really forced! Don't arrest me! ”
"That's it! I'm not here to get you, nay, I ask you, is the guy you killed the same as this brute? ”
Slightly stunned, the short man was obviously a little surprised by Xu Renjie calling the dead corpse on the ground a beast, but he still nodded honestly and responded, "Yes!" ”
"Yes, yes, big brother, I'll kill the same monster as it! They are devils, they eat people, they ......"
Sure enough, Xu Renjie, who got the answer he wanted, basically figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Not surprisingly, the short man should have been in the outbreak of the crisis, in order to survive, he was forced to kill some infected and mutated zombies, and because this place was burned by fire, and the geographical location is relatively remote, he has no idea that the world has fallen into the end of the world.
Most of the short men think that they are killing normal humans, so they have always been hiding in this barren town, and today when they see the living, the instinctive thought is to run away.
Especially after hearing about Xu Renjie's military identity, he showed a nervous and shocked look.
Lao Xu, who knew the reason, felt that it was necessary to explain the situation to the other party, otherwise it would be a bit cruel to live with such an unwarranted sense of guilt in such a harsh post-apocalyptic environment.
So he simply sat down cross-legged and bent his knees, and patiently gave a popular science lecture to the short man.
Five minutes later, after listening to Xu Renjie's concise and concise summary speech. The thin man couldn't help but sigh, he obviously couldn't believe Lao Xu's words, and immediately asked noncommittally: "Say so to me...... I didn't kill the wrong person. You...... You're not going to arrest me either? ”
"Hehe, of course!" Smile and smile. Xu Renjie tried his best to make himself look kinder: "I just said that these people have been infected by the virus, they are not people!" And not only did you kill correctly, but you also killed well! Okay, it's not safe here, you come with me, let's go out. ”
Reaching out and pulling the short, paralyzed man up, the latter opened his mouth to refuse. But considering the contrast in strength between the two sides, as well as the kindness of the other party, the short man still dispelled the idea of running away again.
At the same time, on the other side, Tang Xiaoquan and Wang Qiang, who ran down from Xiaolou, were gathering together with Hu Xiaodong and Wei Dazhuang, who were chasing and losing their targets.
Yes, given that things happened too quickly, although Tang, Wang, Hu, and Wei all reacted as they should in the first place.
But it was still Xu Renjie's trace. This made the four of them feel unusually anxious.
After all, in the midst of this eerie town, the appearance of a short man is a vision in itself.
Although he is a human being. is a survivor, but in the last days, people's hearts are unpredictable, and many times, humans themselves are actually more terrible than zombies.
Because, after all, zombies are just brainless beasts, they are only driven by viruses and bloodthirsty rage.
But human beings are different, and the reason why human beings can stand at the top of the food chain of the earth is not only because of their extraordinary wisdom. It's that there is a devil lurking in everyone's heart.
And this repressed devil only needs to give him the right soil, and he will burst out.
No one knows if the short man has been possessed by the "devil". Tang Xiaoquan and others couldn't predict whether Lao Xu had encountered an accident.
The four of them anxiously searched around with their weapons, but they were faced with the town that was well connected. Relying on just a few of them, it is not easy to find Xu Renjie.
Tang Xiaoquan looked at the situation around him, decided to stop this headless search for the time being, and instead said to Hu Xiaodong who was not far away: "Brother Hu, give me that guy's backpack!" ”
Taking the backpack handed by Hu Xiaodong, Tang Xiaoquan ripped off the zipper, and then regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, reversed the head of the bag and poured all the things inside to the ground.
For a while, all kinds of messy debris fell to the ground like raindrops, and Wang Qiang, who was looking at it, said helplessly:
"I'll go! This goods is picking up rags, why do you put everything in the bag! ”
As Wang Qiang sighed, the things in the backpack discarded by the thin man are really complicated, and there are all kinds of materials for food, clothing and transportation.
However, through these seemingly useless materials, Tang Xiaoquan came to some conclusions:
First of all, this guy must have a stronghold nearby, because judging by the supplies in his bag, it is obvious that he is not capable of traveling long distances.
Secondly, the same mess of supplies in the bag shows that the short man is most likely a scavenger, in other words, he does not have the ability to set up a trap to attack his own side.
After all, if he was really a gang of bandits like Dai Sha, there was no need to carry such a broken bag and pack such a broken thing.
Therefore, based on the analysis of the above two points, Tang Xiaoquan, who was still a little impatient, calmed down.
And just as he was about to explain his thoughts to his brother, a slightly complaining voice came from the corner of the alley.
"Hey! What are you doing? That's my stuff! Why are you rummaging around with other people's things! ”
The survivors who heard the words turned their heads in unison, and Hu Xiaodong raised the recurve bow in his hand for the first time, and the shiny feather arrow arrow was straight to the head of the short man.
"Xiaohu! It's okay! It's me! ”
"Lao Xu!" Seeing Lao Xu's figure emerging from the corner, Hu Xiaodong and the three of them all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where have you gone, we've been looking for you for a long time!"
Facing Wang Qiang's questioning, Xu Renjie smiled bitterly and pointed to the short man beside him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Where else can I go, chase this kid!" ”
The short man ignored the words of several people, he walked towards the "garbage" that was already all over the ground, and then picked up the abandoned backpack without saying a word, and carefully picked up the "garbage" back into the bag one by one.
Looking at the short man's "like a few treasures", Tang Xiaoquan, the initiator of his material package, was a little embarrassed.
As if he felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, Hu Xiaodong casually found a topic and said, "Little brother, are you from this town?" ”
"It's not!"
"Then why are you in this town?" Obviously, the short man's answer made Hu Xiaodong have some doubts.
Not only him, but the remaining survivors also looked at the short man with curiosity, especially Tang Xiaoquan, who was anxious to know the whereabouts of his parents, and was even more nervous.
However, to everyone's surprise, the short man's answer was really ...... (To be continued)
