Now there are more and more people, but my love, where are you, are you okay. Zhao Qiang, who was sitting on the ground, wiped the 81 style on his hand while helplessly looking at everything around him. It's dark outside, and the once bustling city is now quiet and scary. Electricity, communications, everything, everything was cut off, and everything became so desperate.

Wei Tao was still so cold, sitting there motionless, staring in the direction of the city with his eyes, and did not answer Li Zihan's question. Zhang Yongming and his colleagues all gathered around, and after finding a large oil drum from nowhere, everyone lit a bonfire and formed a circle.

Stretching out his hand to feel the warmth brought by the flames, Zhao Qiang looked at the people in front of him. yes, where do we go from here? Now we can continue our efforts with the hope of finding our loved ones, but where is our future? What is the future of humanity?

"Xiao Zhao, what are your plans?" Zhang Yongming lit a cigarette through the burning bonfire and looked at Zhao Qiang, who was warming up.

"I don't know." Zhao Qiang only knew that he could find his wife as soon as possible, before she starved to death or was torn apart by zombies, "I only knew that I was going to find my wife, but I didn't know ......" Zhao Qiang didn't finish, recalling the nightmares he had in the past few days, his heart was full of anxiety.

Everyone was talking about their plans, but Wei Tao and Li Zihan didn't speak, just silently looked at the people who were arguing. Li Zihan lowered her head, she knew that in such an environment as a girl, she was not qualified to say her own plans, and Wei Tao, who was silent, was still a cold defender of his gun.

Zhao Qiang saw Li Zihan's embarrassment of wanting to speak, walked to Li Zihan's side and sat down, and handed her another piece of chocolate.

"What are your plans?" Zhao Qiang tried to make his tone sound softer.

"I miss home. My dad, and my mom, I don't know how they're doing now. The girl began to choke up, she needed someone to listen to her.

"Xiao Li, I can understand your feelings. Wei Tao and I also rushed back to Changsha for the sake of our families. I'm sure you can give everything you can for your family, right? ”

"But I'm just a little girl, I can't go anywhere without you."

"You know what? Three days ago I was just an ordinary person, a useless scrap of wood! Zhao Qiang said what was in his heart, hoping to help the desperate girl in front of him, "Look at me now, I can also become a warrior and protect my family with my own hands." Although they are not with me now, I am now in a position to protect them. Shaking the gun in his hand, Zhao Qiang's tone was extremely firm.

"But I don't know how to use a gun. I'm not you guys, I've loved guns since I was a kid, I'm just a girl who likes dolls. ”

"Like I said, I didn't know how to use a gun three days ago, but you see now." Zhao Qiang smiled, quickly disassembled the gun in his hand and put it back together, "Do you want to go to your family?" ”

"I think, but ......"

"Nothing, just look at the cops, and think about those stupid zombies who couldn't even open the door before we saved you! Don't you see, there must be many more who have survived like us, and your parents may be hiding in a safe haven right now waiting for you to appear. Girl, you still have time, and when you have the ability to go back and protect your parents, I'm sure they will be proud of you, aren't they? ”

"You mean my parents are still alive? Can I still meet them? Li Zihan's eyes rekindled hope, and he grabbed Zhao Qiang's arm tightly with both hands.

"Maybe, I don't know, but since we're alive, we shouldn't give up hope, should we?" How could Zhao Qiang assure that girl of all this, he himself didn't know if he would still be able to see his wife.

"Then will you teach me how to use a gun?" Li Zihan is full of expectations.

"No, I'm not going to teach you how to use a gun." Zhao Qiang glanced at Li Zihan, who was beginning to be disappointed, pointed to Wei Tao on the side and said, "But he will." That guy must be better than me as a teacher. ”

Li Zihan stuck out his tongue, glanced at the cold Wei Tao, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei?" ”

"What, you're scared?" Zhao Qiang asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid, but Brother Wei hasn't paid much attention to me. I'm afraid he won't teach me. "Li Zihan doesn't feel very good about Wei Tao.

"Haha, no problem. That guy looks a little cooler, but he's a pretty good person. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be me sitting here talking to you right now. Besides, he taught me all this ability, you can rest assured. ”

Li Zihan, whose face was red in the firelight, walked to Wei Tao's side with his head down, and asked timidly, "Brother Wei, can you teach me how to use a gun?" I want to ......"

Before Li Zihan finished speaking, Wei Tao categorically refused: "Can't!" I don't have time! After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Qiang, who was gloating on the side, "Who asked you to come, who to find, I don't have time." ”

This time it was Zhao Qiang's turn to be dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Wei Tao's guy would come with him, Li Zihan's girl was kicked back by Wei Tao like a ball, and helplessly looked at the begging girl in front of him, Zhao Qiang had no choice but to accept the burden of this master.

"You can rest first, and these things will be talked about tomorrow. It's too late, you should rest" Zhao Qiang couldn't refuse Li Zihan's request, glanced at Wei Tao and said lightly.

Wei Tao finally stopped what he was doing, left the bonfire with his gun, and walked towards the bus blocked at the gate. "This guy is going to vigil again. It's good for everything, it's just too withdrawn. Zhao Qiang muttered, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and then fell asleep with the gun against the railing. The cab of the cash truck has been given to the only woman, Li Zihan, so although the cold wind in December is biting, Zhao Qiang can't go in to escape the cold wind again.

Awakened from the nightmare again, it was already dawn, and only small flames were left in the roaring bonfire. Everyone was still asleep, the previous days had consumed too much of their physical strength, and Wei Tao still stood like a statue in the cold wind.

Zhao Qiang rubbed his face vigorously, let himself wake up quickly, added enough firewood to the bonfire that was about to be extinguished, Zhao Qiang took the gun and walked to Wei Tao in the distance.

patted Wei Tao on the shoulder, and seeing him turn around, Zhao Qiang shook the gun in his hand and said, "I'll come, you go and rest for a while." "There are still a lot of things to do today, and Zhao Qiang doesn't want this iron-clad man to lose his combat effectiveness because he is tired.

Glancing at Zhao Qiang, Wei Tao nodded at him, turned around and walked towards the bonfire without saying anything.

Li Zihan woke up, the heating was on in the car, and the windows were all white. She sat up straight and gently wiped off the moisture on the car window, everyone was still asleep, and Zhao Qiang took Wei Tao's place to stand guard for everyone.

"Are you awake?" Zhao Qiang turned to the bread handed over by Li Zihan and looked at each other with a smile, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" It's still early. ”

"Thank you." Li Zihan's voice was as small as a mosquito.

"What?" Zhao Qiang, who stuffed the bread into his mouth, didn't hear Li Zihan's words clearly.

"Thank you for helping me turn on the heat." Li Zihan blushed and pointed to the cash truck.

Zhao Qiang smiled, glanced at the shy Li Zihan, and said, "Haha, heating?" I didn't drive it, I guess Brother Wei did it. I'll fall asleep when you're gone, and turning on the heating has nothing to do with me. "Wei Tao, that guy is really a sullen type. Zhao Qiang smiled and thought ill-intentionedly, "Brother Wei was keeping vigil all the time last night, and everyone else was still asleep there except him." ”

Looking at Li Zihan, whose face was getting redder and redder, Zhao Qiang hurriedly changed the topic. After taking two bites of the bread in his hand, Zhao Qiang took out the 9mm police revolver that he had been carrying with him but had not used, unloaded the bullet and handed it to Li Zihan, "Don't you want to learn how to use a gun?" ”

Li Zihan nodded and took the pistol. Zhao Qiang recalled everything Li Hao taught him three days ago and the knowledge of firearms he usually learned in magazines and TV, and began to teach Li Zihan after sorting out his thoughts.

The 9mm police revolver is the first police pistol in the history of New China, compared with the Black Star pistol popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the light structure of this pistol is very suitable for girls like Li Zihan to use, and the simple structure also ensures that beginners can quickly master the use of this self-defense weapon. Zhao Qiang originally took one with the idea of giving it to his wife for self-defense, but now he has to give it to Li Zihan, who wants to learn guns.

Hold the gun with both hands and feet apart, with your body facing your target, straighten your hands so that your hands and shoulders form a stable triangle, lean forward slightly, don't tilt your buttocks, and straighten your body! Make a straight line between the gun's illumination, the crosshairs, and your target, yes, see the letter "O" on the car in front of you? That's right, aim, shoot.

Under Zhao Qiang's patient teaching, Li Zihan completed her first shot task. There was a crisp sound after the hammer and the barrel of the gun collided. Although it was an empty gun, Li Zihan, who came into contact with all this for the first time, was a little excited, "Doesn't it look difficult." ”

Zhao Qiang corrected Li Zihan's posture with a smile, "If only it were that simple." Live firing produces a lot of noise and recoil, and if you don't want to be in the middle of the shot, you have to be proficient in every shooting position. What I'm teaching you now is just the basics, and if you can't use it flexibly in the future, you can just wait to become zombie food. ”

Zhao Qiang taught Li Zihan the gun posture from the TV show "Exploration and Discovery", in the United States, where gun control is lax, this posture is usually used by patrol officers and women, although the action is not flexible enough, but it can minimize the damage to the human body caused by the recoil generated during live shooting, and can also ensure sufficient shooting accuracy, and its disadvantage is that this posture requires more time to aim.

"You have to remember that guns are very dangerous, but they can also save your life at critical moments. See this area? That's the insurance, I want you to make sure it's closed during normal times! Zhao Qiang did not relax his teaching to this apprentice at all, as if he was a battle-hardened instructor, even though he had only been in contact with guns for 3 days.

When Zhao Qiang taught Li Zihan to use a pistol, Zhang Yongming also woke up. He curiously came to the two of them who were in the process of teaching and listened to Zhao Qiang's explanation. coughed lightly, reminded the two people who were engrossed, and said, "Xiao Zhao, okay." That's what the instructor taught us when I first learned to shoot. As he spoke, he took out two small discs from the police bag he carried with him and handed them to Li Zihan, "This is a rapid reloading device, I have these two on me, and I will give them to you." ”

"Thank you." Li Zihan nodded, and the two little things turned out.

"No thanks. That thing didn't work for me. "After Zhang Yongming finished speaking, he patted the Type 77 pistol pinned to his waist, although it is not very reasonable in terms of structural design, but the semi-automatic pistol is more suitable for men than the revolver." Don't bother you to practice, hehe, I hope those little things can help you. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yongming found a vacant space on the side and sat down and took over Zhao Qiang's guards.

In the distance, several zombies were wandering aimlessly, and for a while, they hadn't found these people in the yard. But no one can guarantee when these zombies will find out here, and the two who are concentrating on learning guns are likely to neglect the duty of standing guard, which is why Zhang Yongming came over. Lighting a cigarette, Zhang Yongming looked at the two young people with interest, and his eyes glanced at the zombies wandering in the distance from time to time.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is noon.

One by one, everyone gathered together, and the first snow of 2012 began to fall in the sky.

"Xiao Zhao, what are your plans for today?" Zhang Yongming asked.

"I don't know, let's see Brother Wei's plan first." Zhao Qiang said a little embarrassed: "I can't drive, so I can only rely on others to help." ”

Even if he only slept for 3 hours, Wei Tao looked energetic, there was no trace of emotional fluctuations on his cool face, and seeing everyone looking at him, Wei Tao said lightly: "I want to go home first." Xiao Zhao, you can go with me later, and if it goes well, I will also go to your house. ”

"So what should I do?" Li Zihan thought that Wei Tao was ready to leave him.

"What are you going to do?" Wei Tao ignored Li Zihan's question and turned his head to ask the policemen.

Zhang Yongming seemed to have become the head of these policemen, and after glancing at everyone, he said slowly: "We also plan to go to our relatives." After all, they are all family members, and we are worried about their safety. But it's not easy for all of us to get together, do you think we choose a place where we can meet after we are busy with our own things? ”

After listening to Zhang Yongming's words, other policemen also began to echo, Wei Tao nodded and said, "How is the Changsha Special Police Brigade?" Weapons and ammunition are sufficient, and the environment is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Okay!" After soliciting the opinions of his colleagues, Zhang Yongming agreed to this meeting place. In order to survive and fight in the future, adequate supplies and suitable terrain are indispensable and necessary, and the situation of running out of ammunition and food cannot happen again.

After deciding on the meeting place, Wei Tao glanced at Li Zihan who was hiding on the side, "Get in the car." The tone was still cold.

Li Zihan was ignored by Wei Tao, her heart was up and down, for fear that this rock-like cold man would abandon her, she had just established trust in Zhao Wei and the others, Brother Zhao was okay, he had a chubby figure, and he was also kind, but that Wei Tao was cold all day long, so people didn't know what he was thinking. He must be annoyed with me and is going to abandon me, it must be like this.

Seeing that Wei Tao had turned around and walked towards the cash truck, and Li Zihan was still standing in place**, Zhao Qiang stretched out his hand and dragged Li Zihan back, "Why are you stunned?" Why don't you get in the car yet? ”

Li Zihan, who came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Qiang, and then looked at Wei Tao, who had just opened the car door, and asked in confusion: "Are you ready to ignore me?" ”

Zhao Qiang was amused by Li Zihan, Wei Tao asked her to get in the car to prepare to continue to provide protection for this girl within her ability, this little girl didn't know what to think about there, and actually thought that we would leave her alone? Stretching out his hand and rubbing it vigorously on the top of Li Zihan's head, Zhao Qiang said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" Are we those people? While Brother Wei hasn't changed his mind, why don't you hurry up and get in the car? ”

Realizing that he had misunderstood the cold big man, Li Zihan playfully stuck out his tongue and followed Zhao Qiang in small steps to get into the car.

Mr. Zhang and a group of colleagues also boarded the bus used as a barricade and slowly made way for a passage.
