Chapter 807: Luo Baochun's Memories (3)
"I remember early that morning, a couple of our good friends were bragging in the break room of the gas station, and then I heard the buddies on duty outside the gate come back and report that there was a convoy headed for us."
"These people can't be the robbers."
"Hehe, Xiao Tang, don't worry, listen to me!" Luo Baochun seemed to be in the scene of that day, so Tang Xiaoquan's sudden interjection interrupted his train of thought, and he fell silent for a moment again, and after organizing the fragments of memory intact, he continued:
"To be honest, I was still very excited about the arrival of these people. Let me think about it, we must have not seen or accepted a new survivor for almost a week. You also know that these days, the news is closed, and the arrival of new people means that we can understand the situation outside. Besides, it was still a big convoy, and I naively believed that I would definitely be able to find some valuable clues from them. However, this time, after Lao Ma went to negotiate with the other party's team leader, he uncharacteristically asked for a meeting to discuss whether to agree to the gang to enter the refueling. His reasoning is also in the past, because every time the survivors we accepted told us about their escape along the way, they more or less mentioned the acts of burning, killing and looting they saw on the road. So this time, Lao Ma bluntly told us that through the conversation just now, he felt that this group of people was not good at stubble and could not let them enter the gas station. However, his proposal was quickly refuted, and as for those who refuted him, you can guess which ones you can guess without me telling you. They count the old horses and make a big fuss and have no conscience. But none of that mattered, because there was a debate between the two sides about whether to let the gang in or not. The brothers in charge of guarding the door opened the door without permission. After that......"
Luo Baochun shook his head helplessly: "Our gang of people go south and north, and to be honest, we also have good bodies. And it is also superior in numbers, but the people are not evenly matched. In addition, the guys in the other party's hands are also much stronger than us, and we can still fight against them at first, but soon because of the leadership of those bastards, most of them gave up resisting, alas......"
"A grain of mouse feces spoiled a pot of porridge, it's a pity for the old horse!" Lao Xu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then what's next?" Why did these bandits let you go again? ”
"Huh! I'm not afraid of your jokes, they didn't kill us because they fancy the fuel at the gas station, so killing us will not only cause a zombie attack. It doesn't do them any good, and we can take care of the oil depot for them. “
"Aren't they worried about you escaping?" Lao Lin asked curiously, did he think that any robber would be so kind as to think that what the robbers asked the robbers to do, they would do obediently.
"Alas, to be honest, most of us hadn't gone out outside at the time except for this foothold, so even if we let them open the door and let us out, I'm afraid there are few people willing to leave, after all, compared to those brutal zombies. It's still safe to be a guard in this small gas station. Of course, it's impossible for these robbers to know what we're thinking. Their solution to our escape is also quite simple, those bastards are their minions, and through simple verbal authorization, a few of them have naturally become the leaders of our survivor base. “
Lao Lin looked like this. However, the other party's words surprised him at some of Lao Ma's decisions, such as that they had been nesting in the villa and never going out. Lao Lin bluntly raised his objections.
Luo Baochun still sighed, shook his huge head helplessly, and said, "How could the old horse not mention it." He was the first and only one to realize that he was going to risk going out and getting supplies, when he made the offer. There are many who oppose it, and everyone thinks that the current crisis is only temporary, and the government will definitely calm it down soon. So Lao Ma had no choice but to take his two close brothers on the road alone, and the result was ......"
Luo Baochun paused: "Lao Ma was the only one who came back, and he couldn't bring anything back, and then those bastards spread rumors to frame Lao Ma, saying that he killed the remaining two brothers, you can tell me who can bear such an insult." But Lao Ma did not have the slightest refutation, and silently endured all this. ”
Lao Lin clearly saw that Luo Baochun's eyes were moist, and he looked at Tang and Xu, and both of them nodded.
"Xiao Luo, I think we should stop here today, you can drink some water and go to rest." Lin Junfu gently patted Luo Baochun's back and said with concern.
Luo Baochun, who realized his gaffe, raised his red eyes embarrassedly, and replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, let you laugh, the main reason is that I am too worthless for Lao Ma, such a good person...... Alas! “
People are doing it, God is watching, Lao Ma is too selfless is his biggest shortcoming, of course, this shortcoming itself is not wrong, the fault is that he knows that this team is not suitable for his way of doing things, but it is still like this, then he can only be blamed for being too indecisive.
Tang Xiaoquan was sympathetic to Lao Ma's unfair treatment at the same time, but also sad for him, if he was in the general environment he was in, the situation would definitely be different.
Just when Tang Xiaoquan was distracted, Luo Baochun continued to start his narration: "After the robbers appointed their lackeys, they also looted our already small food supplies. The small part that is left is simply not enough for so many of us to live. Since then, everyone's living standards have plummeted, and what is even more infuriating is that they have privately put the blame for this situation on Lao Ma's head, saying that he did not prevent these people from entering in time to make this situation happen. You can imagine how disheartened the old horse was. The old horse's rights were hollowed out, but the deterrence was still there, and although the lackeys were annoyed by his existence, they didn't embarrass him much, at most they shouted in private. But we people are not as lucky as the old horse, the biggest embodiment is in the distribution of food, the mother's bunch of beasts every day can't even feed the dogs, so that the big guy wants to run out and break through the momentum. Not only that, but they also looted the new survivors, and all the things they carried with them became the private property of the brutes, and the women who were even the slightest bit of beauty were spoiled by the guys. It was only at this time that no one remembered the good fortune of the old horse, but it was a pity that the old horse's heart was dead, and he was too lazy to care about these boring things. ”
"You deserve it, why bother with it today, this is called self-inflicted!" Similarly, as Lao Xu, who is shouldering the life of a team, knows very well how bold he is as the head of the family.
As the so-called bittersweet self-knowledge, he agreed with Lao Ma's inaction in the later period, and if Lao Ma was trampled on like this, if he still paid selflessly, it would only make Lao Xu look down on him and say that he was stupid.
"These bastards are acting like this, and you haven't thought of resisting? So many of you are still afraid that they will not make it? Tang Xiaoquan really couldn't figure out how Luo Baochun and them were so cowardly, if they were powerless to fight against it, it would be fine, but the fact is that they have the strength to fight at all, why should they be so humble.
Servility, in his opinion, is the subconscious servility of Chinese who have been oppressed and bullied for thousands of years. (To be continued......)
