Chapter 19: Separation
Back at the supermarket, everyone had already fallen asleep, except for Zhang Yongming, who answered Zhao Qiang and Wei Tao. Zhao Qiang threw the backpack to Zhang Yongming and jumped out of the car neatly.
"I'm really sorry for letting you go on an adventure again!" Zhang Yongming was holding a heavy backpack, still unable to let go of today's events.
Wei Tao patted him on the shoulder, walked to the back without saying anything, Zhao Qiang took the backpack in Zhang Yongming's hand, patted him like Wei Tao, and said, "It's just a small thing, why bother with it." After speaking, he also put on his backpack and walked into the supermarket, leaving Zhang Yongming alone in a daze by the car.
Bagatelle? Zhang Yongming is a veteran policeman, and with many years of professional experience, he knows very well what kind of truth is hidden behind Zhao Qiang's understatement. In the previous battle, Zhao Qiang and Wei Tao were at most stained with the blood of zombies, and the others would not be too serious, but this time, the chest part of Zhao Qiang's tactical vest was no longer scratched by something, and the rags hung messily on his chest.
Sitting in the monitoring room, Wei Tao stared at the screen motionlessly, and every move inside and outside the supermarket was under his monitoring. Outside the supermarket, zombies roamed, and some of them stood in front of the thick glass windows of the supermarket, as if they were also monitoring the movements inside the supermarket. In the supermarket, the two girls were already asleep, Zhang Yongming was holding a book and reading a story with Xiao Zhang Yu lying on his lap, and Li Yun snuggled in her husband's arms......
"What's next?" Zhao Qiang was half-lying on the sofa, looking at Wei Tao who was staring at the surveillance screen and maintaining the gun at the same time, this guy seemed to have no other hobbies except standing guard and wiping guns.
"Aren't you looking for your lover?" Without looking back, Wei Tao asked coldly.
Zhao Qiang changed himself to a more comfortable position on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and said, "That's right." But what about them? There is no food and clothing here, do you want them to go on another adventure for me? Zhao Qiang opened a can of beer, took a sip and continued: "Besides, I don't know where she is or if she is still alive." This is already Zhao Qiang's sixth can of beer tonight, although his face is full of indifferent looks, but the beer cans in one place expose his heart.
Yes, Zhao Qiang was very worried about his wife, and after the battle and betrayal, Zhao Qiang almost lost the confidence to reunite with Peng Sha. For a moment, he began to wonder if his wife was no longer there, so what was the point of receiving these special training and fighting so much? Maybe I should die, maybe so that my soul can be reunited with my wife in another world, never to be separated again. But what if I find her, and how long can we last in a world like this?
"Old Wei, I'm leaving too." Zhao Qiang swallowed a big sip of wine and said slightly drunk: "I've been delayed too much time." "It's not that Zhao Qiang wants to leave, everyone has worked hard to find such a relatively ideal refuge, Zhao Qiang doesn't want everyone to take any more risks for themselves.
"You're alone?" Wei Tao was a little surprised, although he had already taught all his skills, but this apprentice still lacked the most important experience, which could not be learned after a week's special training or a few battles.
"Yes, I'm alone." Zhao Qiang casually threw away the empty jar and said slowly: "You have also seen what is going on outside, it is a zombie dog now, I don't know what will appear in the future, I can't let everyone take risks with me." ”
"I can go with you." Wei Tao's voice was still cold.
"No need, I can handle it alone." When he said this, Zhao Qiang had no confidence in his heart, everything he did was taught by Wei Tao, with Wei Tao by his side, his safety could be guaranteed, but what about other people? Zhang Yongming alone is unable to deal with emergencies.
Wei Tao turned his head and wanted to say something, but saw that Zhao Qiang was already lying on the sofa, sleeping deeply. "The road is self-detribution, I hope you are on the right path." Wei Tao whispered.
The next morning, it was not yet dawn. Zhao Qiang sat up from the sofa, during this time, he was used to getting up early. When he got up, Wei Tao was no longer in the monitoring room, and Zhao Qiang's body was covered with a coat that originally belonged to Wei Tao. A brand new set of combat uniforms was placed on the coffee table, and in the holster, there was also a Type 92 pistol that Wei Tao had been carefully maintained and never left his body.
This guy just has a stinky face. Zhao Qiang shook his head, laughed, and unceremoniously changed into the equipment left by Wei Tao. Leaving the monitoring room, Zhao Qiang found that everyone had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Hehe, so early?" Zhao Qiang was a little embarrassed, like a child who did something wrong and was discovered but covered it up.
"Are you going to leave too?" Li Zihan had the best relationship with Zhao Qiang among all the people, and his eyes were red at this time, and he asked a little reluctantly.
Wei Tao, you have a big mouth, I don't usually see you talk so much! Zhao Qiang scolded secretly, reached out and touched Li Zihan's head again, he had done this action many times, just like a big brother facing his doted sister, and said with a smile: "Yes." I have to go find your sister-in-law. ”
"Will you come back to see me?" Zhang Yu on the side asked in a milky voice.
Zhao Qiang picked up Xiao Zhang Yu, rubbed his beard vigorously on his puffy little face, and said with a smile: "Of course Uncle will come back, Uncle will come back to see the little octopus after he finds a beautiful aunt, and he will bring a lot of toys back to the little octopus, okay?" ”
A child is a child, hearing Zhao Qiang's promise, Xiao Zhang Yu suddenly became eyebrows: "Uncle, then let's pull the hook." ”
Zhang Yongming walked over and didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand. The hands of the two men clasped tightly together, and a manly goodbye appeared, "Take care." Zhang Yongming patted Zhao Qiang's arm, Zhao Qiang smiled, punched Zhang Yongming in the chest, and said, "They will be handed over to you." Without too many words, the two men nodded in unison, and the two clasped hands finally parted.
The roller shutter opened a small crack, and the biting cold wind mixed with the low roar of the zombies rushed in, Zhao Qiang tidied up his backpack, and got out of this crack without looking back.
In the monitoring room, Li Zihan couldn't hold back her tears all morning, leaned on Li Yun's shoulder and cried.
"Old Wei, can you train me?" Zhang Yongming thought about it for a long time and finally made his request. In order to take care of his sick son before, he had to give up special training with Zhao Qiang, and today, no matter what, he can't miss it. "I don't want to hold everyone back."
Hearing Zhang Yongming's words, Li Zihan also temporarily stopped his tears, twitched his nose, wiped away his tears, looked at Wei Tao firmly, and said, "Brother Wei, I will participate too!" ”
Looking at the two people with extremely firm expressions, Wei Tao nodded, did not speak, and turned his head to stare at Zhao Qiang, who was getting farther and farther away from the screen.
