Chapter 25: The Heart Is Broken
In the afternoon, Quintes was about to go fishing in the fish pond with his fishing rod to see if he could try his luck and come back to stew.
Endless things haunted him, keeping him busy and idle.
For a while, Miller and Kleist hurriedly came over and said that the furnace machine was broken, and then Yan Xiaoer came to complain that Qian Nian had stolen his things......
He is the only one who manages the huge camp, and it is not a problem for a long time, and he has to find someone to help him manage it together.
Apparently, Quunjes had already had this in mind. But he is familiar with everyone, and if someone is chosen, then other people are likely to behave prejudicedly, and in this way, it is not a problem.
When passing by Yanxi and Elsha's manor on the way, Kunjes still had the idea of whether he could meet Yanxi by chance. In the courtyard, there was only Elsa, who was dragging her chin and drawing on the ground with a small twig.
"Elsa, is Xi there?" Quunjes stood outside the fence, tiptoeing in.
Aisha looked up, she saw that it was Kunjes, and then thought for a while, then shook her head and replied slowly, "I don't know, it seems that I went out at noon, right?" ”
"Do you know where she went?"
Aisha shook her head, she didn't know.
Quinjes suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He left the fence, stood by the gate for a while, and then turned and walked towards the fishpond.
The fishpond is located on a netted tributary of the camp river, near a path leading to the camp's power station. There are a few bare tree trunks planted on the side of the road, and the ground is full of autumn leaves.
The autumn wind is sorrowful (1).
Under the feet, a mouse hides low in fallen leaves. It sniffed here and there, its head lifted nimbly, and soon sprang away and disappeared into the fallen leaves.
Quinjes carried his fishing gear and turned around the fishpond, when he suddenly saw a familiar back. He immediately stopped and poked his head forward.
On the side of the fishing board by the pond, isn't it the Yanxi he is looking for that who is sitting?
"Tide!" Quintes shouted from afar, which made him happy. But Yanxi didn't look back for a long time, and she didn't agree, as if she had poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Quintes walked over quietly, tossing his satchel onto the plank and humming a little tune to make the bait.
Yanxi sat here silent, making Quintes seem to understand something.
"Running here, hee-hee. What's wrong, Shio? Quintes leaned against her, sat down cross-legged, and pulled the rod back.
"Battalion commander......" Yanxi raised her head, the corners of her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
The water of the pond was rippling, and a tree with a crooked neck stretched half of its branches into the river, and there were still ripples on the surface of the water, floating a layer of falling autumn leaves.
"Tell me something." Quintes' calm wooden eyes stared at the river. He threw the rod forward with a slurp, waited for the bait to sink to the bottom, and then chatted while holding the rod so idly.
"Kaiye, he...... I don't understand. Yanxi said it directly. She sighed, her eyes glazed over the white line of Quunjes' toss. The white lines are illuminated by the sun and blend in with the river.
"Kai Ye, what's wrong with him?"
"He murdered me last night and drove me out." Yeon-hee's voice trembled.
"This stinky boy, it's over to see how I teach him!" Kunjes spoke to Yanxi. When he heard this, he was very excited.
Yanxi listened to Kunjes's words, and she suddenly recalled the scene where Kaiye said that he was an outsider or even more ruthless, and she could no longer resist the sadness in her heart.
"He, he also said that I was an outsider, woo woo......"
"This stinky boy, it's really unreasonable!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
Yanxi's tears burst out of her eyes, and she buried her head in her elbow prop up, sobbing quietly.
"Don't cry, why is a big girl crying? Okay, I'll teach him a lesson-huh! By the way, I'll show you something good. Quintes had an idea and changed the subject.
He turned around and rummaged through his satchel on the floor, then pulled out a brand-new piece that looked like an energy elbow watch but wasn't, turned around and handed it to her.
"Whew, this is ......" Yeon-hee choked back her tears as she looked at what he was holding, trying to stop her crying.
"Your original watch is broken, and I haven't been able to fix it." Quintes explained the reason to her first, and then said, "This one, it's called the 'Crystal Energy Drive Meter', and it's the same as the Energy Elbow Meter, and it's for you." ”
Yanxi looked at the watch he was holding, hesitated for a long time, and didn't speak after taking it.
Blue sky, white clouds, clear water.
"Actually, Kai Ye's kid is also pitiful."
I don't know what Quunjes's intentions are when he suddenly speaks like this. Yanxi hides suspicion and restless anger in her heart.
Kai Ye's attitude and appearance of murdering her had deeply pierced her heart, leaving a scar that will never be erased. Even, never want to hear his name again.
"Really?" Yanxi asked in a cold and impatient tone.
"A person who has been deceived so badly in the end has to do everything in his power to protect our camp. He doesn't have any family......"
"Don't talk about him! Pull it down! Yanxi couldn't bear it anymore, her angry voice was hoarse and tearful, and she got up and left in anger.
Leave Quintjes sitting here alone. He opened his mouth half-open, blinking, and was stunned by Yanxi's sudden move.
"I'm sorry, battalion commander. I don't want to hear anything about Kaiye now......" Yanxi said in a hoarse voice. With that, she walked back quickly, never looking back at Quintes again.
Looking at the ripples on the water, Quunjes fell into a brief contemplation. If this matter is not dealt with, I am afraid that it will become more and more troublesome. When the time comes, it will not be a good thing for anyone.
"Damn Kaiye, hey! This group of kids is so unreassuring......"
The rod suddenly wobbles, indicating a fish bite. A fat catfish jumped out of the water with a "plop" and soon dived to the bottom again.
But Quinjes didn't rush to reel in the rod, but watched as the fish broke free of the hook, leaving an alluring ripple in the water.
Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite......
A radar-detected siren sounded in the center of the camp, indicating that an unknown creature had broken into the camp.
People who were tired from being relaxed had to be nervous at this moment. Pick up the guys and go to chase away the unidentified creatures and keep the camp safe.
Quintjes didn't seem to have come to his senses yet, his gaze was as flat as water, and he looked dull. With a deep sigh, the whole world was reduced to ashes.
Kaiye, whose wounds were not yet healed, was the first to rush to the radar room in the center of the city with a limp, and after confirming the general location of the unknown creature, he hurried to a specific location to prepare for the battle.
In an unpopulated part of the camp, walk down a muddy avenue and soon spot the intruder zombies.
Its hideous face, burly body, purple potato-colored skin with bloody tendons jumping, and a blood-colored terrifying big eyeball blinking back and forth on its belly.
It was the same one that attacked Quintes last night, and now it had come to the door.
Kai Ye gasped heavily, he took out the scarlet spar without hesitation, and in front of the monster, buckled the scarlet spar to the energy elbow watch worn on his other arm.
"Change, body."
