Chapter 179: Farewell to Lingnan

Zhang Xiaolei, who was on duty at 6 o'clock in the morning, came to the well in the small courtyard of the private house that he and his teammates found at night, pressed the pumping gun hard, put a basin of cold water from the well and simply washed his face, instantly sobered up a lot, wiped the water on his face with his sleeve, found a cigarette in his pocket, touched his pockets, and then looked at a pile of cigarette butts at the door of the yard before remembering that he had smoked all the cigarettes on his body during the two-hour shift.

Just when he was a little distressed, someone behind him suddenly handed over a pack of unopened cigarettes, and he quickly turned around and saw that Hua Shirt was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xiaolei, let's finish smoking, hum, I still have it, you smoke first!" The flower shirt was handed over with a smile on her face.

Zhang Xiaolei took the cigarette, opened it directly, and said while taking out a stick and lighting it: "You kid is a treasure chest, why do you have everything?" ”

Hua Shirt washed his face with the well water that Zhang Xiaolei picked up and said, "Brother Xiaolei, I still have some cigarettes, but I really don't have any wine, so you can just smoke it!" ”

Zhang Xiaolei took a sharp breath, spit out the smoke ring and said, "It's a new day again, we still have to continue to hurry!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, Zhang Xiaolei and Hua Shirt immediately put their hands on the pistols on their waists, and walked carefully towards the courtyard door step by step.

The small courtyard that the team members are looking for is built by a relatively wealthy family, the courtyard wall of their house is higher than the surrounding area, and they have also installed their own power grid, and the courtyard gate is also iron, which is much stronger than the surrounding wooden doors, so that they are not jealous of the rich and poor, but for the safety of the overnight, everyone chose here, and the door of this yard can be driven in.

At this time, the iron door was knocked on the 'clang', and the two people who quietly walked towards the door listened carefully to the movement outside the door, in addition to the sound of banging on the door, there was also a heavy panting sound, the two people looked at each other and didn't dare to squeak, for fear that it was a zombie, so they listened quietly, and the huge knock woke up Jin Xin, Chen Wanru and Yao Feijie, who were sleeping in the house, and they quickly put on their equipment and walked out of the house.

Seeing Zhang Xiaolei and Hua Shirt standing carefully at the door with guns in their hands, the three of them immediately stared at the big iron gate in the courtyard.

"Soldiers, I know you're inside, don't worry, I'm Zheng Yuejun, I'm here to bring you breakfast!" Zheng Yuejun's voice came from outside the door.

"How did you know we were here?" Zhang Xiaolei still asked with some concern, although his hand had been placed on the top of the latch, but cautiously, he still did not open the door immediately.

"Soldiers, this road you are walking on is a dirt road, we have not had a vehicle pass by for a long time, I will find it along the rut, you can stay in this house before our town sat on the earthwork business, his courtyard is much more luxurious than the surroundings, I guess you should choose here!" Open the door!" Zheng Yuejun continued to shout outside the door.

Hearing Zheng Yuejun say this, Zhang Xiaolei reassuredly inserted the pistol back into the pistol belt on his waist and opened the door for him.

When he opened the door, he saw Zheng Yuejun holding a few scallion pancakes that he had just baked for everyone in the morning, and a box containing his pickled side dishes, and a pot of freshly cooked millet porridge in the bamboo basket behind him.

After Zheng Yuejun walked in, Zhang Xiaolei immediately locked the courtyard door, and helped him put the food on a wooden table in the middle of the courtyard, Zheng Yuejun immediately helped everyone put the porridge, and then pointed to the scallion pancake on the table and said: "Now the supplies are limited, that's all, look at the meat in my pot last night and your eyes are going to be straight, you must have been hungry for a long time, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Zheng, I still trouble you to run so early in the morning!" Jin Xin took the porridge handed over by Zheng Yuejun and said.

Zheng Yuejun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No trouble, no trouble, I've been here alone for a few months, not to mention people, not even a zombie has ever come, and finally came to a few people to talk to me, but you didn't say goodbye, thinking that you shouldn't go far, I got up early and got some food with the mentality of trying it, but I didn't expect to find you." Saying that, Zheng Yuejun took out a pack of baked scallion pancakes from the bamboo basket behind him and said: "If you are in a hurry, you can eat these on the road in a hurry, now that the weather is cold, you can put it for a few days, and it won't be bad!" ”

Eating the breakfast sent by Zheng Yuejun, the team members were extremely moved, in this cold winter morning, there can be a bowl of hot porridge, a piece of fragrant scallion pancakes for the soldiers in the apocalyptic world is simply a full feast, better than crisp noodles, compressed biscuits, and bread that is close to expiration.

"Brother Zheng, you better come with us, after all, you have limited supplies here, and there may be zombies visiting at any time, it's too dangerous!" Chen Wanru was eating scallion pancakes while inviting Zheng Yuejun to join.

Zheng Yuejun asked Jin Xin for a cigarette and took a puff and said: "Little sister, thank you for your kindness, my wife and daughter are still waiting for me to go back to take care of it, you all know my situation, to be honest, after my family became like this, I have no hope, I just hope that I can be content with their mother and daughter more, I go out with you, I may not be as happy as I am now, you say yes!" ”

Everyone was silent, the team members knew what Zheng Yuejun meant when he said this, he gave up the opportunity to start a new life alone, and chose to continue to live in this town with his wife and daughter who had become zombies, this is the best interpretation of a man's Gu family, for Zheng Yuejun's decision, no one forced him anymore.

Watching the members of the Doomsday Action Team sweep away the food on the table, Zheng Yuejun smiled, he hadn't been so satisfied for a long time, even though it was just a simple breakfast, watching the team members burp, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, as if he saw his wife and daughter giving themselves a thumbs up in satisfaction after eating the braised pork he made, but such a scene can only appear in a dream.

Zheng Yuejun finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the bamboo basket and prepared to walk towards the door.

Zhang Xiaolei stopped him and said, "Brother Zheng, you wait a while." Then he called the flower shirt to his side and asked, "Brother Mao, you still have a few packs of cigarettes in this bag, take them out and give them to me!" ”

Hua Shirt also understood what Zhang Xiaolei meant, and immediately opened the backpack that was straddling his chest, and handed the remaining 3 packs of cigarettes to Zhang Xiaolei's hand.

Zhang Xiaolei, who took the cigarette, took out the pack of shirts he had just given himself out of his pocket, and handed the four packs of cigarettes to Zheng Yuejun's hand, Zheng Yuejun was embarrassed to take it, and finally Zhang Xiaolei put it directly into his bamboo basket.

Zheng Yuejun said goodbye to everyone with an embarrassed face, opened the gate of the courtyard and walked out, and several team members chased him out and watched his back disappear at the end of the path.

A few people retreated back into the courtyard, Jin Xin took out a 4 or 5-year-old version of the national map found in this family's house last night, although it was a little yellowed, but it was still clearly marked, he spread the map on the small wooden table where he had just eaten, and everyone gathered around.

Jin Xin pointed to the location of Lingnan Town and said: "We are in this position now, our initial plan is to go to JX Province 200 kilometers away, then we have to take the south side of Lingnan Town on the highway, yesterday we came in from the north entrance, I don't know if the monsters and zombies that follow us are still there, and I don't know if we will encounter the same monsters after the highway in the south, in short, we have to be more careful!" ”

"Gold Team" flower shirt interjected: "I think we should consider not going on the highway, I think there were more people evacuated at the highway, and there were more infected people, I was more worried that there would be a large number of zombies like before, and even the long-tailed monster, our car I checked before, the left rearview mirror and the right rear light were damaged, and there were many places in the body There are also varying degrees of damage, I am more worried that this car can not withstand the attack of so many zombies, after all, this is just a police van, It's not comparable to the council transport truck we drove before! ”

"Yes, I also think it would be better for us to take a safer path." Chen Wanru also followed the words of the shirt and said: "And we still have this box of X reagents, this is the only hope for mankind, we must not ......"

Jin Xin listened to the opinions of the two teammates, lowered his head and looked at the map again, he also understood the concerns of his teammates, it is indeed faster to take the high speed, but the risk factor is relatively high, considering the state of his vehicle once it breaks down or is damaged, it is almost possible to declare the evacuation failed, but he also has his own concerns about the road, after all, the map in his hand is 4 or 5 years ago, and many road changes cannot be seen on it, and there is no GPRS now, There is no way to locate the road conditions in real time, in case you go the wrong way, not only will it delay time, but it is also very likely to be attacked by zombies, but the most important thing is that there may not be a gas station on the road, if you take a detour or delay, you will worry about not enough fuel, this series of worries are lingering in Jin Xin's mind, although he is not yet a member of the doomsday action team, but seeing that these comrades around him treat themselves as captains, then they have to take responsibility for their safety.

Zhang Xiaolei was sitting bored on the stone mill on the side in a daze at this time, and the flower shirt walked over to look at him helplessly and said, "Brother Xiaolei, do you want to smoke?" ”

"Hehe, how do you know, I just gave all the cigarettes to Brother Zheng in a hurry, and now I don't smoke it, and there will be no place to search for supplies for a while, how can I survive this road before arriving in JX Province." Zhang Xiaolei lamented his impulse just now.

At this time, Hua Shirt took out a pack of unopened soft-shell cigarettes that had been pressed and flattened from the inner pocket of his jacket, handed it over, and said: "Brother Xiaolei, this is really the last pack on me, we have to save some smoke!" ”

Zhang Xiaolei nodded his head and excitedly took the cigarette and opened it, and the two of them immediately swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog one by one.

Taking advantage of Jin Xin's time to study the route, Chen Wanru and Yao Feijie, the two girls, also seized the time to wash up briefly, although Chen Wanru still couldn't forget the result of her father becoming a zombie in order to turn herself, but at this time, thinking that there was a huge matter of saving the infected people on his shoulders, he had to adjust his mentality, after all, the road still had to go, and everything had to be seen in the distance.

Yao Feijie has always been nostalgic for the taste of the scallion pancake that Zheng Yuejun baked just now, and said to herself: "The cake made by Brother Zheng is really good, if my brother can taste it at this time, he will definitely like it, but I don't know what will happen to my brother and Team Zhang!" ”

Chen Wanru, who was listening to Yao Feijie's own talk while tying her hair, said: "There will be nothing wrong with their fate, I believe they will be able to find out the people who organized behind the scenes!" ”

"Wanru, what you said is right, I think so too, but when will we be able to make peace with them, now that the communicator has been lost, how easy is it for them to find us!" Yao Feijie is obviously a little worried about when she will be able to meet Zhang Weimin and Da Zhuang again.

Jin Xin also drew a suitable route on the map at this time, although this road is nearly 100 kilometers longer than the more than 200 kilometers of the highway, but it is a relatively safe route, there are small roads, there is also a section of high-speed, if you want to reach JX Province in the safety zone, no matter how you choose, you have to take risks.

But no matter what, you have to hurry up, Jin Xin looked at his watch and it was almost close to 7 o'clock, so he gathered everyone to pack up and prepare to get into the car, started the car, and opened the iron gate of the yard with a flower shirt, and when the car drove out of the yard, he himself circled around the car, checked the situation of the car, and got into the car after making sure there was no problem.

Preparing to leave, Jin Xin suddenly saw a person standing not far from the rearview mirror, carrying a bamboo basket, waving goodbye to them, he stepped on the brake, stuck his head out of the window, and waved goodbye to the figure behind him.

Everyone sitting in the car also turned around and said goodbye to the left-behind veteran who was left alone with his wife and daughter who had mutated into a zombie, perhaps this is an interpretation of what is called you marry me, I will stand guard for you for a lifetime of military Fengfan, although Zheng Yuejun's results, people in the car can guess, but to stay with loved ones, it is also a good choice, such a spirit is worth learning from, whether you are poor or rich, whether you are born, old, sick or dead, I have to be with you tightly.

Seeing that the figure in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the road, the team members were silent, I don't know how many touching stories after the virus disaster, this is the tragedy brought to people by the current environment, and the task of preventing these tragedies from continuing to happen, so that the members of the Doomsday Action Team at this moment have an extremely strong sense of mission.

The car drove onto the road planned by Jin Xin at a constant speed and galloped towards hope!
