CHAPTER XLIII
The room was dark, and only the cold moonlight spilled in through the cracks in the curtains, and it was quiet. Human perception seems to have become more sensitive in this darkness. From time to time, the sound of something falling outside sounded, and if I listened carefully, there were quite a few people moving slowly, the soles of their feet rubbing against the dirt, with a rustling sound.
"You haven't slept yet, have you?" Liu Xin's voice sounded in the room, and the six of them slept in different places.
"No, I can't sleep." Zhang Pengtao sat up, perhaps because he had turned over too many times and was noticed by Liu Xin.
This red brick house has no separate rooms and living rooms, and the entrance is a spacious rectangle, surrounded by walls made of cement beds, which can sleep more than a dozen people together. Because the beds are too large, some even have a lot of sundries, so that the position of men and women sleeping is just separated. Liu Xin sat on the edge of the bed, and directly opposite was Zhang Pengtao who was sitting on the bed.
"Have you figured out what to do tomorrow?" Liu Xin's tone couldn't help but be a little worried, now that he is in Nanzhou Village, he can encounter people who are out of control from time to time, not to mention the crowded airport.
"Not yet, but at least try to keep them safe." When he said this, Zhang Pengtao was actually not too sure, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen tomorrow.
In the empty room, the two stopped talking to the sound of the fat man's snoring. Each of them slowly fell asleep with uneasiness in their hearts.
The sunlight shone into the room through the corner of the curtain, and the fat man on the bed turned over, blocked the glimmer of light with his hands, opened his misty eyes, and his mind paused for two seconds, and then slowly woke up from the sore body of his body.
The door had already been opened, and the noise of chattering in the courtyard began to gradually pull Ouyang Xun up from his sleep. The fat man walked to the door, only to see Zhou Xi Xu Wen laughing with breakfast, and Zhang Pengtao and Liu Xin, who were standing on the side, began to eat with gusto, and today's unpredictable battle started quietly.
The door of the courtyard was opened, and Gu Yitong and Zhong Zhiyuan walked in front of them, they had not seen Tan Shuizhi and Zhou Wenzhen since they came back yesterday.
"I've brought you a few knives, which should come in handy." After speaking, Zhong Zhiyuan put all the blades wrapped in his arms on the ground, and let the six of them choose a handful at will.
Looking at the dazzling array of sharp knives on the ground, Liu Xinguang could already feel it by touching it with his fingertips, and the knife that was sharpened by professional techniques should have also been found from a military aircraft. After a brief breakfast, the six of them began to walk in the direction of the airport. On the way, the fat man kept asking Zhong Zhiyuan Gu Yitong, who saw them off, and wanted to be separated from Tan Shuizhi, but it was obvious from the vague words of the two that they didn't want to reveal it.
"Alright then, you can send it here." Zhang Pengtao hurriedly interrupted the fat man's repeated questioning, after all, this was their own private matter in Nanzhou Village, and if they understood it in this way, they were afraid that they would anger Zhong Zhiyuan, who was already impatient.
Several people stood at the fork to say goodbye, and the straight line paved with cement road was extremely easy.
"Why are you so ignorant?" Zhou Xi complained, holding a curved saber in her hand with a woman's demeanor.
Since returning from exploring the road yesterday, Nanzhou Village has become extremely strange. Although the village is not large and there are not many people, you can still see people moving around from time to time. But since Gu Yitong's appearance, Tan Shuizhi and Zhou Wenzhen have never shown their faces, and they even had to let Zhong Zhiyuan say 'a little busy' to prevaricate when they said goodbye.
But Zhang Pengtao doesn't want to continue to pursue these things, after all, it's just a temporary place to stay, at least now there are weapons to defend themselves, which is already a very fortunate thing, why bother studying the affairs of their own village. It takes three kilometers to get to the airport from this concrete road, and it only takes half an hour to walk, but it is unusually quiet and peaceful.
As the surrounding trees dwindled, it was replaced by the half-excavated yellow earth. Many excavators and construction equipment have stayed in place, looking at the dust on them, I am afraid that they have been stopped for a long time. In the hot noon, the sun baked the earth like a steamer, and the steaming road continued to bake six people, and the fat man already felt a little dizzy in the sweat.
The distance was getting shorter, and they could already smell some of the oil in the air. Looking at the tarmac surrounded by barbed wire in the distance, a large hole has already been artificially broken in the middle. The six of them breathed a sigh of relief, and it could be regarded as finally reaching their destination under the sun, if they were far away, they were afraid that they would suffer from heat stroke and physical exhaustion.
"Look, there." Ouyang Xun exclaimed, and everyone turned their heads to look behind them, only to see thick black smoke rising in the distance.
This direction is the direction of Nanzhou Village, and the surrounding trees are not in the conditions for burning, only puffs of smoke slowly rise from the dense leaves.
"Someone's cooking is on fire?" The fat man squinted his eyes as much as he could, and it was already difficult to open his eyes in such a dazzling light under the scorching sun.
"Shall we go back and have a look?"
"What do you want?" The fat man hurriedly rejected Xu Wen's words, after all, the half-hour journey was carried by his legs, and if he returned and the fire was extinguished again, wouldn't it be a big loss.
"Don't stand here, let's go to the airport."
After speaking, Zhang Pengtao led a few people to drill through the hole in the barbed wire. What catches your eye is the tall terminal building, and when you look to the side, you can see the five large passenger planes you saw yesterday, docked at the boarding gate intact. While the six were still observing their surroundings, three runaways staggered in their direction. Looking at the tattered clothes on his body, it is likely that he can conclude that it is the crew member.
"What to do, what to do, run." Zhou Xi was holding a sharp blade in his hand, and he was spinning in place in fright.
"Run, run, we've got knives." The fat man pulled out a long knife from his fat waist, which was just the right length to ensure that he could stab the enemy within a meter.
Xu Wenzheng looked at the scene of drawing a knife in front of him, and his closed mouth was hesitant for a long time before he said a sentence: "No wonder you didn't sit down when you were so tired all the way, it turned out to be ......"
said that it was too late, Zhang Pengtao took the dagger in his hand and kicked it with a brisk step, looking at the out-of-control person who fell to the ground and was about to get up, without saying a word, he skillfully turned the knife in his hand in a circle, held the handle of the knife accurately, and stabbed it to the brain. The moment it passed through the brittle bones, blackened blood instantly splashed outward.
"What are you looking for? Come on. Xu Wen instigated the fat man standing aside, and the few people who were still in place were already so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Seeing this, Liu Xin rushed forward to help, pulled over the runaway who was about to approach Zhang Pengtao, and it took less than one-third of her strength to spread her feet, and her slender arms once again threw the runaway who was taller than her to the ground. Zhang Pengtao pulled out the dagger inserted into his head and slammed it into the head of another person who had lost control.
"Wait...... I don't dare, I haven't killed anyone. ”
"You say this as if we had killed it." Zhang Pengtao complained in the distance, and the fat man with the long knife behind him still stood in place and didn't dare to move half a step.
"There's another one." Zhou Xi shouted, and the two people who held down the corpse stood up, only to find that the person who was running slowly was a flight attendant.
The tight short skirt is almost unable to cover the lower half of the body. Clothes contaminated with an unknown liquid are no longer visible in their original color. The thin lips were dripping with blood, and they didn't run fast, but they kept moving in their direction. The six people looked at the scene in front of them, and no one planned to make a move, but put away the sharp blade in their hands and left this place of right and wrong.
The six of them ran under the airliner, just enough to cover the scorching sun overhead. Liu Xin looked at the surroundings, and there were many runaways walking around, but compared to what they met, there was no threat here.
"You should still have the ability to protect yourself." Zhang Pengtao gasped heavily, looked at the people present in a questioning tone, and the weapon in his hand seemed to be as useless as his bare hands.
"I think, it should, it seems, it's okay, right......" Zhou Xi looked dazed, after all, these are living people, although they can only bite if they lose their minds, but they still can't get down and stab them in the head.
