Chapter 168: Ambush on All Sides: A Fire Breaks Out in the Backyard
After that, Zhang Zimin began to hang out on his own.
After walking for a short time, I left the living area, and when I was on the site of a similar abandoned factory workshop, I met a half-grown girl who sold water in the morning.
She was trying to move a boulder out of the way, could it be that there was some treasure buried under the stone?
"Heyβ"
I don't know if I have earned my pee? But at some point, she exploded in power and really removed the super boulder (cement lump).
This Nima has more strength than me? Zhang Zimin looked at her with some horror and thought.
Really, although Zhang Zimin can barely do it to remove this ghost, I'm afraid it's even harder than her. However, Zhang Zimin weighed one hundred and thirteen, but the weight of this goods was only half of Zhang Zimin.
In this regard, Zhang Zimin walked around her, observing back and forth, left and right, up and down.
This girl is not a secondary two for the time being, and the visual inspection is in the range of the first year of secondary school. The character is not a bunker, and there is a relatively well-behaved feeling.
She also looked at Zhang Zimin curiously, and then drooled greedily. The main reason is that she thinks that Zhang Zimin is a good person, and he is stupid and has a lot of money, and seeing him is almost equivalent to seeing cookies. Is it really too stupid and rich to give cookies to people at will in such an apocalypse?
"Brother, is there something wrong with you?" She's not worried about no one here.
Zhang Zimin shook his head, "I was just passing by, and I originally planned to come over to help." I didn't expect you to move the boulder out of the way yourself. β
She didn't speak, she just continued to observe Zhang Zimin.
Zhang Zimin said curiously: "Why don't you move away and look for something, isn't it a treasure hunt?" β
She shook her head and said, "No, there's no treasure to find here." I just don't like this guy here, not since before the cataclysm. Someone deliberately moved over to stop here to avoid a car from entering. Before the catastrophe, my dad's car was stopped by this guy and couldn't get in. β
"Oh......"
At this point, Zhang Zimin had nothing to do, so he turned around and walked up.
There are still some residential areas up there, and some abandoned factories or something, and then there will be water houses, which must be built on a high place, and it seems that only this direction is suitable.
Occasionally looking back, the girl's relatively petite figure followed slowly behind, but did not say a word.
Zhang Zimin said: "Do you have anything to do with me?" β
"It's fine," she said. The main thing is that your side is risky and easy to encounter uncontrollable things, so I will follow you, and if I can help you, you should give me something. β
"Good idea, a cookie, you can be my companion to talk, I'll ask you something." Zhang Zimin said.
She was a little excited, a little surprised, and immediately came closer.
"Ever thought about getting out of here?" Zhang Zimin asked as he walked.
She thought for a moment and said, "The world is so big that I have nowhere to go, and the captain says that other places will only be more dangerous." We were almost surrounded to death, and there were thugs under the command of Viper entrenched in Zhaojia Village, like a roadblock, so that we could not go further to collect supplies. As for the future, it is near the town of Changbanqiao, and the captain said that there are too many monsters gathered there, which are no longer suitable for ordinary humans to pass and survive. β
Zhang Zimin said: "All problems can be solved, assuming that the viper and the monster of the longboard bridge are not in the way, where do you want to go at that time?" β
Her face darkened a little and said, "I still want to be here." Even if you go to the city, which is a bigger hell, although there are more supplies, it will be more dangerous. In the early days of the cataclysm, it was terrible for us to kill and loot each other, and if it weren't for the captain, I'm afraid everyone would have died. Even though she was a little dark-hearted and wanted to take a third of our supplies. β
Zhang Zimin thought for a while and said: "To be honest, her protection fee is not too much. Before the catastrophe, most governments in the world did not levy any lower percentage of taxes from society. In addition, for thousands of years of history, the commission of any landlord was higher than this. β
"So she's a bad guy and didn't run, but in the end of the world, she can be regarded as someone who can follow for the time being."
Zhang Zimin finally said, "It will be better after there is competition, for example, after the monster nest entrenched in Longbanqiao is exterminated in the future, you will have a choice: you can join the posttown outpost, you can follow the road into the city, or you can continue to stay on the ship and accept the command of a pirate." β
She tilted her head and thought, "I'm still going to stay here." You're a very relatable, nice guy, and if only you were as strong as the captain, then you could protect us. β
Zhang Zimin shook his head, "Class is a strange thing, and when it becomes stronger, the class will be different, so the eyes of the ordinary will most likely change." Expect the person who has completed the evolution first to protect you, lead you to evolve together, and finally achieve the evolution of all mankind together and then fight against monsters? Well, the idea is good, but it's very face-brushing, even anti-human. Because we must count on those who have squeezed out a lot of resources to complete their evolution first, and have the discipline of our great people. Otherwise, it will be a natural egg, and there is a high probability that he will take more resources after he becomes stronger. Seriously, don't all of these advanced people become vipers, and really don't expect them to feed back a lot and evolve with you. β
βοΌβ She was a little confused, "I don't know what you're talking about, it seemed to be very powerful at the time." Will it be in the future? β
Zhang Zimin looked into the distance and muttered, "No, many people will never understand it in their lifetime." β
She thought for a moment and said, "But I understand a little bit again. β
"Then tell me about it. I look at you like a bone surprise a little wise, if so, maybe you can go to the postal district in the future to develop and take over my class? β
Zhang Zimin felt that being idle was also idle, and joked and chatted with her.
The middle school girl said, "Not long ago, we had a teenager here, not a few years older than me. He carried with him countless good things, which even the captain was very envious and hated very much. He also has special abilities, and the captain invited him to stay here and protect this place together......"
But he left anyway. Just like the eldest brother you said, as if his group is really different from us, I only see indifference from him, as if I can't find human feelings and commonality. By the way, I also noticed that his physical movements at times were a bit like the kind of monsters that used to appear at night. β
Zhang Zimin shook his head and gestured under his ear, "So tall, with long hair and white skin?" β
She nodded, and inevitably wondered in her heart, after providing so much consultation for Mao, she hadn't brushed out the cookies yet? This ordinary and friendly NPC should have a super high drop rate, right?
Who knows that Zhang Zimin's face turned blue, it seems that he is really a bad boy Tian Jia, the so-called "good things" he has with a lot of "good things", this is really the reason why the captain does not mention him. The captain really wants to kill and take the treasure!
"What is he capable of?" Zhang Zimin asked.
"I don't know." She shook her head, "I said he has special abilities, just because if he wasn't special, a weak boy like him wouldn't be able to get here." And then there'......"
She blushed a little suddenly, and continued in a low voice, "The other thing is that he has paid special attention to me since he got here. Like, like you can see through my mind? β
"Like? Why do you think so? Zhang Zimin said.
She continued to blush, "He wants to persuade me to go with him, it's strange, every sentence and rhetoric of his is something I subconsciously like." Strangely enough, when we met the next day, he dressed up in one of my favorite looks, which were all fantasies and dreams that I had since I was a child, but I was suddenly scared! Because I liked him a little bit before, and I secretly observed him, and secretly thought of him in my mind as the shape and details I liked. β
"As a result, after thinking about it like that, the next day he was basically like I 'peeked', and even the sentences I talked to were the ones I thought I would like, which were my favorite sentences when I was young. In addition, the captain said that the man was strange and needed to be careful, so his all-round approach scared me. I began to observe calmly, and suddenly it felt that his details were almost inhuman, even a bit like a monster. β
In this regard, Zhang Zimin took out a pack of biscuits and took out two of them like a local tyrant.
Her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked drooling.
Wait a minute......
After paying for the biscuits, Zhang Zimin suddenly stopped, if Tian Jia really has the ability to see through other people's minds, the captain will be in danger!
After the captain learned about Tian Jia's attributes from Zhang Zimin's blacklist, he became ill-intentioned and wanted to kill people and seize treasures. If Tian Jia's ability is really like this, then when the captain wants to go, he will almost send death and meat.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zimin turned around and left, and hurriedly walked towards the captain's residence.
The girl said a little anxiously: "I still know a lot of information, are you talking to me and letting me make some money?" β
"Another day, now I'm in trouble!"
Zhang Zimin didn't look back......
But the captain could no longer be found, and there was no one at home.
She had to go back to the small square again and learned a few places she frequented.
However, after looking for it, all of them were gone, and there was no trace of the captain at all.
In a hurry, the fraudster mechanic came over and smiled, "Ten biscuits, I'll tell you where the captain goes?" β
Zhang Zimin said: "Where did you see her going?" β
He looked mysteriously left and right, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I see it, I know it directly." Because I'm also her assistant, I'm in charge of all the pipes and the flow of water, and only I know the doorways. β
traitor!
Zhang Zimin despises this guy quite a lot, but it's okay, knowing the news first is the king. So I took out the biscuits.
The plumber saw that Zhang Zimin was so crisp, he felt that it was a big piece of meat, and hurriedly said: "I was joking just now, I want a whole package of cookies to tell you." Otherwise you look for someone else. β
the scammers!
Zhang Zimin began to darken his face a little, but it's okay, this is more credible.
Eventually, I gave him the cookies.
The liar whispered, "The captain has entered the mountain." β
While saying that, he pointed to the southeast and added in a low voice: "She is in a hurry to go to the black and eat the black." It is said that a certain teenager was carrying a lot of weapons. Judging by the captain's annoyance today, it is almost unbearable. She probably didn't want to endure it anymore, she was in dire need of weapons, and she wanted to find an opportunity to fight the viper. β
Zhang Zimin was flustered, but the logic was smooth.
Tian Jia came out of a psychiatric hospital, and it was an evacuation situation at that time, and in such a situation and place, there would definitely be a lot of deterrent weapons.
At that time, Zhang Zimin looked for it, but there was nothing, and it was taken away.
On the other hand, on the highway, not too far from the longboard bridge, there were police cars and ambulances that were blocked, but the result of the inspection at the time was that the weapons were also taken.
Now that I think about it, these resources may have fallen into the hands of Tian Jia!
When you think about it this way, the plumber's words are very credible.
There is one last question, why does the captain know that Tian Jia has good things, isn't it that his wealth is not exposed?
Yes, Tian Jia is fishing, so he needs to put bait.
He could see through the captain's thoughts, and here he couldn't do anything with the captain. So he deliberately let the captain see the "good things", and deliberately left here to go to the mountains, waiting for the captain to grab it. Is this his riddle?
"Five biscuits per person, follow me."
After thinking about it, Zhang Zimin called the half-grown girl and the fraudster plumber.
They looked surprised, and followed behind Zhang Zimin.
Gradually going up, Shaoqing arrived at a place where there was no one around, Zhang Zimin stopped and turned around.
Without waiting for the fraudster to ask "what the hell is going on", Zhang Zimin suddenly pinched the neck of the fraudster plumber, and he suddenly struggled a little breathlessly.
The half-grown girl was a little frightened and didn't know what to do.
According to the principles and rules, you must help your own people and take down outsiders. But after getting along, she was very sure that Zhang Zimin was a charming and friendly good person, and this plumber was a very obscene person, before the catastrophe, and even worse after the catastrophe.
It's a pity that no matter how obscene he is, he is relatively indispensable (managing water). At the same time, it is still under the protection of the rules of the "Corsair".
She was torn between this.
When she finally decided to pull them away, she saw that the plumber had been put down and fainted on the ground.
She didn't run away, and said extremely worriedly: "Are you a bad person, am I on the thief ship?" β
Zhang Zimin took out a strap that could be used as handcuffs, and said while tying up the fraudster: "I am an official ship, as for you, you have long been on the thief ship, I thought you knew about it." β
"You're so nice, take him down...... There must be a good reason, right? β
She is struggling with this, and she finds a reason for herself to clear Zhang Zimin's name.
It was already tied, and Zhang Zimin closed the fraudster in an empty house nearby.
Before leaving, he said solemnly: "Girl, listen to me, from now on, you may face the possibility of capsizing at any time, and one capsizing will be the whole boat, more than 30 lives." If you believe me, don't ask, I say listen, and then simply do it. β
She was so frightened that she nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Zimin pointed to the inside of the house, "This fraudster is not credible, let's talk about two points first." One, if he is lying, he is tricking me into lying to me and delaying my time to save this thief ship. So he was knocked unconscious by me and locked up for a few days, which is really not wronged. β
"Two, if he is telling the truth, it is more serious. It is equivalent to him betraying the captain who protects him and selling the whole ship! He was obviously a very timid and obscene man, and he chose to reveal this information to me, an outsider, when the captain was about to go to war against a powerful enemy, with only one explanation: he did not intend to stay here, but to defect. There is a high probability that he will go to Viper and break the news that 'the captain intends to rebel'. β
In this way, he can avoid participating in unwinnable wars. You can also be the hero of that group of thugs and find a safe haven again. β
In the end, Zhang Zimin concluded: "In short, whether this thing is telling the truth or a lie, he must be locked up without discussion." Until I or the captain return, it's your duty to guard this place. Don't listen to what he says, you don't pay attention to him if he screams out his throat. Rest assured that he can't die, and in the end the captain will decide his fate. If I was in a good mood at that time, I would have persuaded the captain to keep his life. That's it, if you don't want to capsize, you can take it as an order. β
ββ¦β¦β
The half-grown girl was so stunned that she didn't even have time to think about whether it made sense, only to see that he was already gone.
Walking faster and faster, faster and faster, like a fire......
