Chapter VII: Containment
Xu Licheng worked hard to maintain the expression on his face, in front of more than a dozen people staring at him, he didn't dare to show a little frightened expression, and he was about to pass by Hu Ningsheng and them, when he heard Hu Ningsheng's voice sounding faintly, "Xiao Xu, where are you going to go?" ”
Xu Licheng stood diagonally opposite Hu Ningsheng, glanced at the crowd, imagined the martial arts movies he had seen in the old days, and imitated and said, "Does Boss Hu have any advice?" ”
"I don't dare to advise, but I heard that you have recently made a fortune? Everyone present is a good brother, why don't you take everyone to get rich together? ”
After all, Xu Licheng was just a programmer before, and he was not familiar with this kind of scene, looking at a circle of men with knives surrounding him, he was unnaturally a little timid, leaned over and whispered, "Boss Hu, we said before, I will give you half of the earnings." Before I came, I also told Su Ye that I would give you the canned food in the afternoon! ”
"How do you talk to Boss Hu! Don't think that you dare to fight with Boss Hu in the name of Su Ye, believe it or not, I will cut you now. "It's still the little young man in the white vest, obviously eager to show it in front of Hu Ningsheng.
"Luo San, say a few words!" Hu Ningsheng was obviously a little jealous of Su Ye in Xu Licheng's mouth. This Su Ye is actually a cadre sent out by the "company", the difference is that this Su Ye was not selected from the last batch of people in Jiangxin Island, but got off the big ship of the "company", and has been working for the "company" before, according to Hu Ningsheng's distant cousin, Su Ye holds the title of director of the management committee, managing all the material exchange and the "company" pure water quota in this port area, which is the "No. 1 seed" of the next batch to join the company. And he, Hu Ningsheng, calculated by himself, almost ranked eighth, so he always called himself Hu Laoba.
Once it comes to Su Ye, Hu Ningsheng is also a bit of a bogeyman, and he can't figure out whether Xu Licheng is Su Ye's person or not, and it would be a little uneconomical to offend Su Ye for such a thing, squinting and staring at Xu Licheng's eyes flickering.
Xu Licheng suddenly thought at this time that before coming out, Wang Jiayi had explained to himself that if it was possible, he still had to ease the relationship with Hu Ningsheng and give some small gifts or something. Xu Licheng gritted his teeth, reached into the side of the backpack and pulled it out, took out a can of meat, and handed it to Hu Ningsheng, "Brother Hu, this is for you!" Extra, not counted in your earnings. ”
A few of the young people around saw the canned meat, and their eyes began to glow, staring at Hu Ningsheng's hand and licking their tongues. Obviously, among these strong laborers, there are also many people who have not tasted oil for a long time.
Hu Ningsheng was stunned for a moment, and he also felt funny in his heart, this Xu Liguo will only be a programmer, and he can't say anything about the scene, otherwise he will say something "thank you for taking care of me", "I will not be indispensable to you if I have any benefits in the future", "Everyone present stews a soup and divides a point" and similar words, the atmosphere is relaxed, maybe just give each other a face.
Now stuffing such a jar of meat to himself, is this looking down on the others he brought, or is it going to isolate me, the leading brother? Hu Ningsheng sneered, tilted his head to look at Xu Licheng and said, "Xiao Xu, in the past, when we went out together, you went to lure zombies, it was very hard!" However, I'll take care of you, so we'll settle between the two of us, okay? ”
"Good!" Xu Licheng also thought that the canned food he sent had a role, and he was secretly thanking Wang Jiayi for his explanation.
"But!" Hu Ningsheng paused for a moment, "Wang Jiayi, who came with you, I gave her a place to live, vouched for her, and gave her something to eat, but now she runs away with you." This is not in accordance with the rules of the port! ”
"And what do you want?" Xu Licheng asked with a little vigilance.
"So be it. Everyone present has seen Wang Jiayi's little girl, right? Fair-skinned, skinny, hair up to the shoulders, the one who followed me out all day before. Hu Ningsheng asked the young people around him.
"I've seen it!" "I haven't seen it!" Among the young people around, there were some sparse responses.
Hu Ningsheng smiled, raised a hand, patted Xu Licheng's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xu, you talk to Jiayi, Sister Xiaomei misses her very much, let her come back to see Sister Xiaomei." By the way, let's let a few of our little brothers who haven't seen Jiayi meet her too. At this time, everyone can't eat enough, Jiayi is so beautiful, she is intimate with everyone, and she is beautiful and delicious! I promise, as long as she comes to see Sister Xiaomei tonight, I will clear up with both of you in the future, how about it?! ”
Hearing Hu Ningsheng say this, a few young people around him whistled, this is Boss Hu wants to give them benefits, and suddenly the atmosphere began to be ambiguous, and many young people also let out lewd laughter, except for Xu Licheng.
Xu Licheng's face was blue and white, for him, it didn't matter if he was hungry, it didn't matter if he let him lead zombies, but Hu Ningsheng wanted to fight Jiayi's idea, looking at this posture, and wanting to take so many brothers, Xu Licheng felt that he couldn't bear it.
Xu Licheng was silent, put his hand into his pocket, took out an iron bump, raised it to chest height and said, "Hu Ningsheng, don't deceive people too much!" If you really want everyone to die together, then let's just die together today! ”
Hu Ningsheng and the few young people standing at the front looked carefully at what Xu Licheng was doing, and it was a grenade.
Suddenly, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, like a duck that was choked by the neck, and a few young people standing in the back row turned around and started to run away.
The rest of the young people all looked at Hu Ningsheng, waiting for him to make a decision. Even Luo San, who was wearing a white vest, regretted a little, he didn't stand in the back row just now, and he didn't dare to move now, for fear of causing any misunderstanding, then he really regretted it for life. This Xu Licheng he has dealt with before, he has always been honest, he looks very wooden, he didn't expect to be so cruel for a woman.
Xu Licheng faced Hu Ningsheng and them, raised the grenade and slowly turned to the other side, and slowly retreated in the direction of the settlement, "Boss Hu, I will give this grenade to Jiayi, I advise you not to go to her." ”
After speaking, he suddenly started to run wildly, "Brother Chen also gave me a grenade this time, and no one can stop me." Hey, let's give the grenade to Jiayi, I will be beaten if I am beaten, she must not suffer. Xu Licheng thought while running, and secretly made up his mind that he would give the grenade to Jiayi when he went back, so as not to be taken advantage of when he was away.
Hu Ningsheng and his party watched Xu Licheng run away from afar, but they didn't mean to catch up. Just kidding, what if you catch up and are threatened to die together, your face is gone, what if that kid's hands shake and the grenade explodes, for a can of canned meat, no one wants to move seriously.
At this time, the remaining young people were staring at Hu Ningsheng. That Luo San thought that he had a good personal relationship with Hu Ningsheng, so he leaned up and asked, "Big brother, what should I do next?" Is it going back, or what? ”
Hu Ningsheng was already thinking about how to deal with the aftermath just now, but now he wanted to thank those boys who ran away, so that he would have an excuse to repair them when he went back. If there is something rewarding and punishing, the team will be easy to bring, this is the secret that his distant cousin taught him, otherwise, with such a thing today, he really doesn't know if there is prestige in front of this group of young people in the future.
But just going back like this, Hu Ningsheng was also a little unwilling, thinking in his heart, "I can't get Xu Licheng, go and see if there is a chance for the person surnamed Chen." It's really not good, it's better to find their base. I can also do the business of canning for bullets, right? ”
Thinking of this, Hu Ningsheng turned his head and said to the remaining young people, "Go back and clean up those two deserters!" When everyone comes out to mix, they have to talk about the rules, right? However, we didn't come out for him, everyone follow me, and I will bring everyone to get rich! ”
The young people should have been very tacit for a while, Hu Ningsheng didn't mention Xu Licheng, and the young people didn't ask.
On the embankment, Hu Ningsheng carefully observed the traces on the ground, a year after the outbreak of the virus, Hu Ningsheng did not pass in a mess, he also learned a lot of survival skills in the wild, including the observation of the traces in front of him, but he used to observe the movement trajectory of zombies, and this time he was looking for Chen Xin's footprints.
Because he had seen Chen Xin himself, it was easier to estimate his weight, and Hu Ningsheng actually found Chen Xin's footsteps for him.
Of course, there are not many people walking on the roads now, let alone taking care of them, and it is still difficult to leave something in the wild environment.
Following the footprints, the group came to the bottom of a high-rise building, which was really the unfinished building of Chen Xin's research institute.
"Boss, the footprints go upstairs!"
"Got it, Luo San, you take a brother to guard downstairs, if there is a powerful zombie, report it in time!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
Hu Ningsheng took the remaining 5 young people and walked upstairs slowly, thinking to himself, "MD, I have made a lot of money, and I thought that the kid surnamed Chen came from which base." Now it seems that he either picked up a warehouse, or found a shelter, anyway, there must be no big organization here in such a place, I have never heard of it, and the cliff is a big fat meat! ”
"However, that kid has a gun in his hand, and I guess someone must have to explain it here today. No matter, I have a gun and bullets, what kind of ghost 'company' do I want to join, the evaluation is almost a little, there is a gun and a base, I just need to open my own one. Hu Ningsheng made a ruthless decision and has begun to fantasize about a future life of domination.
Walking up the stairs, Hu Ningsheng became more and more sure that there was no organization here, no matter how small the organization was, there would be many traces of life and action, and it was obvious that there was only one person surnamed Chen here.
Finally walked up the stairs, bypassing the zombie corpses that fell at the staircase and the doorway, and a group of 6 people reached the top floor.
The top floor is still very empty at a glance, except for the pillars that are the walls, because the door of the research institute is originally set up to be relatively hidden, and the seamless wall is used, in a short time, Hu Ningsheng and they really thought they were in the wrong place.
It wasn't until Hu Ningsheng studied the zombie that fell on the side of the elevator, to be exact, Hu Ningsheng originally wanted to confirm whether the bullet in the zombie's body was Chen Xin's Type 95.
Then Hu Ningsheng found a faint small footprint on the side of the zombie, which was coagulated by blood, a little infiltrating, but it was really a clue.
Hu Ningsheng didn't say anything, followed the footprints to the wall, and carefully observed the wall in front of him.
No matter how good the disguise is, it must not stand up to questioning observation. Several young people also gathered around Hu Ningsheng's side, and there was a silent wall of inspectors, and there was still a tacit understanding that if the enemy situation was unknown, he would not make any sound if he could not make a sound.
"Click", the combination lock on the panel was finally discovered by them, and now, everyone knows that there must be a problem here.
Hu Ningsheng is still struggling with whether it is violently demolished, in his eyes, these will be his private property in the future, and if they can be destroyed, of course, they will not be destroyed.
So he motioned for a few people to lie in ambush on the side, standing in the most suitable position for ambush entry and exit, faintly forming a semicircle, but they didn't find that that position was exactly the same as the position chosen by the little zombie who had been squatting that night!
Just when the six people had just laid out the formation and didn't even raise the knife in their hands, the sound of the hydraulic column sounded, and the alloy door opened with a pull.
The moment the alloy door opened, a figure sprang out of the door, and the speed was so fast that it suddenly crossed the encirclement where everyone had just stood.
Before the other young people could react, Hu Ningsheng waved the knife in his hand indiscriminately, regardless of whether the enemy was in front of him or not, whether he could cut the other party or not.
The figure did not stop behind the encirclement, and only stopped in a blink of an eye when it was 5 or 6 meters away from the encirclement.
At this time, the other young people and Hu Ningsheng reacted, turned around and looked at the figure, it was Chen Xin.
Chen Xin had already picked up the 95 rifle and pulled the trigger at the crowd.
The piercing gunfire instantly broke the silence on the rooftop, "bang bang bang", a semi-automatic point shot, and a young man on the left side of Hu Ningsheng had already let out a wail. Several other people looked over, and the young man had been shot twice in the thigh and stomach, and the flesh around the bullet hole was blurred, and the leg that had been hit was unnaturally folded back, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang" at this time.
The person next to the young man who was shot was also splashed with a few drops of blood on his face, and he suddenly became extremely frightened, he really thought that he was just accompanying Brother Hu out to collect protection money, just like a few times before, who knew that the brothers who usually lived together were lying in a pool of blood on the side, and they couldn't live, so he shouted.
Chen Xin was originally aiming at Hu Ningsheng, but he suddenly missed the target and hit a person on the side, and was about to continue to aim at Hu Ningsheng, when the person on the side shouted, he was also startled, and turned the gun at the person who shouted in a stressful manner, and two more gunshots rang out.
This time it didn't go off target! The person who was hit by the 95 rifle stopped screaming in an instant, and like a duck with its neck dragged, the whole person flew up, hit the wall not far from the side, and then fell heavily.
Just when this person was knocked away, Hu Ningsheng had already raised his knife and rushed over with "ahhhh
Chen Xin was quite far away from them, but he didn't continue to shoot, but ran around the pillars on both sides, and every time he ran past a pillar, Chen Xin turned around and fired the last shot, but he didn't hit three times in a row.
They didn't get hit three times in a row, which obviously encouraged the rest of the young people to rush faster, but they found that Chen Xin was running very fast, and after a while, he ran much farther than them, but they didn't notice that Hu Ningsheng's speed had slowed down, and he had already run behind them, and he was hiding behind the pillar intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xin knew that it was probably too far away and his marksmanship was too bad, so in order not to waste bullets, he stood on the edge of a pillar and raised his gun, did a good job of aiming, and waited for a few seconds before he saw them approaching, and then pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!" The young man who was running at the front trembled and fell to the ground, as if something was missing from his head, and the white and red sprayed to the ground behind him.
The other two young men also realized that something was wrong, and one of them turned around and ran in the direction of the stairs, and the other threw away the knife when he saw this, and ran reflexively.
Chen Xin squinted, his expression and posture did not change, and he adjusted the direction of the muzzle slightly, and more than a dozen gunshots rang out.
The back of one of them was instantly dyed red, and he fell to the ground and remained motionless.
Hu Linsheng and the last little young. Finally ran to the top of the stairs. The two of them jumped down, not even bothering to check the condition of the young man lying on the ground behind them.
However, Chen Xin did not put away the gun, and still followed the two of them to the stairs, and on the way, Chen Xin silently activated the ability.
The ability has been turned on, which will cause a very large drain on Chen Xin's physical fitness and spirit, but now in this situation, Chen Xin has to catch up, and he must also catch up. He didn't know how many people this Hu Ningsheng would be able to gather to come back to retaliate against him after returning to the port, and he didn't dare to expose the location of this research institute, he didn't dare to gamble.
