Chapter 69: The Soldiers Join the Road
My name is Shi Lei, male, 20 years old, birthday is June 24, I live in Building 23, Linghui Street, Gufeng District, Shanfeng City, and I used to be a sophomore in the Computer Department of Shanfeng University of Economics and Business.
Wednesday, February 20, 2013, fine.
In the courtyard of a bungalow, the tips of Tang Dao and Maya each pierced into the ground, standing side by side, just like their owners next to them.
I stood in the middle of the field and looked at Xiao Qi, he was opposite me, and no one spoke.
There was also a person sitting on the steps next to him, it was Di Yan.
After looking at each other for a while, I took a few steps forward, two meters away from Xiao Qi, and then put on a stance.
Xiao Qi stood sideways, his eyes did not fluctuate at all, and seeing that I was ready to attack, he raised his right hand slightly, and at the same time put his left hand behind his back.
I counted silently in my mind for three seconds, and then rushed forward with an arrow and punched Xiao Qi's head. He just shook his head slightly, dodging my punches, and at the same time his right hand was about to go up.
I immediately closed my fist and blocked it with my elbow, followed by a left hand. Xiao Qi stepped forward slightly, dodging his fist while quickly turning his right hand to the side of my body.
I hurriedly parried horizontally, attacking as defense, Xiao Qi took half a step back, avoiding the offensive, I took the opportunity to prepare to kick a kick, but before the leg was half raised, Xiao Qi's two fingers on the right hand blocked the knee, I had no choice but to withdraw my leg and punch again, before the fist wind arrived, Xiao Qi had already stepped forward a little, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were together, and they were on my arm.
A sour feeling of weakness rushed from the point to the top of my head, and I secretly gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and attacked again, using both hands and feet, all to the point. Xiao Qi didn't show any disorder, and he calmly dodged or suppressed my every move with just two fingers.
It didn't take long, and when the speed of my punch began to decrease significantly, Di Yan on the side suddenly shouted, "Stop!" β
Hearing this, I immediately waved my arm to block Xiao Qi's right hand, took a few steps back, and made a crooked fight to stand firm.
Di Yan stood up and said solemnly: "The tenth round of the challenge is over, and Seventh Brother won again with the 'Sunflower Point Acupuncture Hand'!" Shi Lei was defeated again! The first round of challenges was pointed thirty-two times, and this round was scored nine times, which is a slight success! Wangshi Leijun continues to work hard, and strives to be strong, healthy, physical, natural selection, selection of people, strong and powerful, agarwood to save the mother, the mother of the world, obscene and ......"
"Shut up!"
I rubbed my sore arm and gave him a helpless look, then I took out my cigarette and lighter, and opened the note again.
Half a month ago, February 6, residential buildings.
At seven o'clock in the morning, me, Di Yan and Ziqing were all on the sofa in the living room, and they were still asleep. I sat next to me, looking up at the ceiling in a daze, feeling empty in my heart.
From time to time, I played with the knife in my hand for a while, and there was still a little blood on the tip of the knife.
It didn't take long for a knock on the door to pull my mind back and wake up Ziqing and Di Yan, who subconsciously picked up the crossbow at hand and aimed at the door.
"Shi Lei, are you in there, I'm Shi Yao!" The sound came from outside the door, not very loud, but enough for us to hear clearly.
Di Yan looked at me with a puzzled expression, I patted him on the shoulder to signal not to be nervous, and reminded: "Your arrows." β
Di Yan found that his crossbow string was empty, and he was busy looking for arrows everywhere.
I threw the knife in my hand on the table, stood up and walked to the door, and looked out through the cat's eye, there was only one person standing in the corridor, it was Shi Yao, and he was still wearing his own military uniform that had been torn. Opening the door and letting him in, I glanced out at the hallway again and closed the door after making sure there was no one else.
"I came by myself, and they're all in the building next to me." Shi Yao said after seeing my behavior.
"Hmm," I turned and walked back to the couch and asked, "When did you wake up?" β
Shi Yao looked at Di Yan and Ziqing, then walked over quickly, sat on the sofa, and said, "Just now, I heard that they said that there is a person named Shi Lei, so I came over to take a look." With that, he scanned the room again and asked, "Who came back with you?" β
"Just me." I handed Shi Yao a cigarette, then lit one for myself, and threw the lighter to him.
"Old Meng... Meng Qi them. Shi Yao's tone was colder than mine.
I took a puff of my cigarette and said unhurriedly: "I followed the helicopter back to the safety station, and the rescue operation went smoothly, and there were no casualties." β
Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then looked at me faintly and said, "I can't imagine how you came back." β
Ang, I was coerced. I took Meng Qi, threatened them with a gun, killed a civilian, and finally forced the pilot to fly back to me.
This is the truth, but of course you can't tell Shi Yao. I was just about to open my mouth, but Shi Yao asked first: "Those corpses downstairs, you did it." β
"Well, that's right."
Shi Yao was silent for a while, glared at me and said, "Shi Lei, do you think that when the world becomes like this, no one can take care of you!" You give me a reason now why you killed them! If you just kill innocents indiscriminately, I tell you, I will not let you go! β
Hearing this, I smiled lightly, spat out a smoke ring, and said, "Those people almost killed me, is that reason enough?" β
Shi Yao didn't say anything.
I added, "Those people with you should have heard what I said in the bedroom yesterday, so if you don't believe me, you can ask them." β
Shi Yao stared at my face for a while and said, "I only ask you, tell me how those people have hurt you." β
"Do you want to check my account?" I asked rhetorically.
Shi Yao frowned and said, "You just need to answer my questions, don't talk nonsense." β
Di Yan next to him saw that the momentum was not right, and once again tensed his body. Shi Yao didn't reply, and said directly: "I'm on official business now, and unrelated people sit down and don't move." β
Di Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at me and said, "Nima, am I a lying gun?" β
I smiled and said to Shi Yao: "You better go back and think about what to eat for the next meal first, we don't have the official business you said here, so we won't send it if you go slowly." β
Shi Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect me to say this, and then put on a stinky face and said, "Do you think I'm joking with you!" β
"Not really, you're just wasting my time." I said, "Oh yes, I keep a diary every day, and you're wasting my pen and paper." β
"Shi Lei!" Shi Yao stood up immediately, and he didn't care if the lighter and cigarette fell on the ground, he just stood there and glared at me and said, "You'd better answer my question, otherwise you'll ......"
"I think you'd better sit down first." I leaned back on the sofa and didn't move, interrupted Shi Yao's words with a word, and said, "Otherwise, you will have to lie down." β
"Well, he's right." Di Yan next to him answered, and he already held the crossbow with short arrows in his hand.
Shi Yao turned his head to look at Di Yan and said, "Do you know what you're doing, put down your weapon!" β
Di Yan laughed twice, scratched his hair with his other hand and said, "Don't be excited, Brother Bing, let me tell you, you don't have to worry, although I hold a crossbow, I can't pull the trigger. Because I'm a little timid and don't want to see blood...... But," said Di Yan raised his head and said, "That one is not necessarily. β
Hearing this, Shi Yao turned his head to look at the other side again, only to see that the door of one of the bedrooms had been opened, and Xiao Qi was standing there with a Tang knife.
I don't need to look closely to know the situation on both sides, and I have no fear. Looking at Shi Yao, whose face was purple, I said lightly: "Your speed will not be faster than this arrow and that knife, believe me." β
This sentence drew Shi Yao's attention back to me, and looking at his slightly trembling body, it was not difficult to imagine what he had been angry about.
After a short while, he still didn't move, and his eyes were glaring and he didn't make a sound.
I smiled and picked up the cigarette and lighter on the ground, then stood up, put the end of the cigarette filter directly into Shi Yao's mouth, and lit the fire.
I didn't light it for him directly, but held the lighter in front of him. Shi Yao looked at me for a while before slowly bringing the cigarette closer to the lighter and lit the cigarette butt. Seeing this scene, Di Yan next to him put down the crossbow, and Xiao Qi also walked to the window, looking out in a daze.
"Calm down, don't get so angry." I put away the lighter, grabbed Shi Yao's shoulder, 'helped' him to sit down, and said, "If there is anything you can sit down and talk about, why do you have to blow your beard and stare at him." You're right, second lieutenant. β
Shi Yao took the cigarette in his hand and looked at me silently.
I said, "I came back to the processing plant the night before yesterday and was surrounded by a bunch of zombies and injured myself. At that time, a man rode up to me and at first said he wanted to save me, but then he just took my gun and everything. This man is one of the people downstairs. And coincidentally, we almost killed a few of our companions when we were in the suburbs. Can you understand this time? β
Shi Yao didn't say anything when he heard this, but his frowning brows seemed to stretch a little.
I continued: "I don't want to mention the past, let's talk about it, what is the matter with you coming to me, let's hurry up." β
Shi Yao picked up his cigarette at this time, took a puff, and said, "Even so, you ...... Killing is addictive, if you're still young and murderous......"
"All right," I said, "I'm not asking you to sit down so that you can give me a lesson, to get down to business." β
Shi Yao exhaled the smoke, sighed, and sorted out his spirit again before he said: "I came to make sure that you are still in this building, and now you also know about the processing plant, you will go with me to find Xiao Zhang and them later, we will combine the manpower, and then make plans." β
"What are you going to do?"
Shi Yao said: "Search for supplies, organize equipment, and wait for rescue. β
"I'll go..."Di Yan dragged out a long voice and said, "Brother Bing, let me tell you, first, there are very few supplies around here, and if you want to find something to eat, you have to run far; Second, organize the equipment...... Uh, let's sort it out, this one is nothing; Thirdly, wait for rescue? You tell me when the rescue will come, you tell me how to let them know where we are, you tell me that even if the helicopter flies overhead, it will stop to pick us up, and you tell me if there is enough gas to save these people!? β
Shi Yao frowned when he heard this, and just as he was about to speak, I preemptively said, "I can't agree to your proposal." β
"What do you disagree," Shi Yao was angry again, and said, "What do you think is the situation now, you can't agree with it." β
I snorted and said, "A company can't guarantee safety by my side, do you want me to believe in the rescue without news?" β
As soon as these words came out, Shi Yao was immediately stunned, and his annoyed expression quickly appeared on his face. I continued: "I'm not going to wait honestly for help, at least not here, I'll leave later." β
"Leave? Where are you going. Saying that, Shi Yao looked at a few people around him and asked, "If you want to go out to find someone, I can't let you go, it's too chaotic outside now, I'm ...... It is my responsibility to protect these people. His tone wasn't as tough as it used to be.
What a bad guy, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the demeanor he used to be...... I sighed in my heart and said, "It's not about looking for someone, it's just about leaving here and finding a safe place to recuperate." β
"It's the same to stay here......"
I waved my hand to interrupt Shi Yao's words and said, "I have a reason why I have to leave, I won't stay anywhere around here, you don't need to say more, I won't change my mind." Your responsibility is left to your people, and my people are my responsibility. β
"Shi Lei, you can't be impulsive, you have to think about realistic problems, now it's ...... outside"
I interrupted Shi Yao again and said, "As for putting the manpower together, I think it's good. In this way, I also wanted to invite you to come, you can go back and tell them, you come to join my team, there is only one condition, each of you must remember that I am the captain, you can make suggestions, but you can't go against my decision. β
Without waiting for Shi Yao to speak, Di Yan next to him also began to help me blow the side drum, and said: "I'll tell you, Brother Bing, it's not safe to stay here, we came from the south before, there are a lot of zombies over there, and they have begun to move to this side, if we are surrounded in this building, we don't have to go anywhere." In addition, the food in this neighborhood is getting less and less, and even if we wait for the rescue you mentioned, if they don't come for ten days or eight days, we will be starved to death. Although Shi Lei is younger than you, he is still quite reliable, think about it. β
After he finished speaking, I continued: "If you can join me, everyone is a friend, then there is still a discussion, after all, I am not a pure hegemonist." But if you don't agree, we don't have to talk about it anymore. β
Di Yan and I sang and harmonized, Shi Yao's face was red and white, and after I finished speaking, he stopped talking.
After a while, Shi Yao raised his head as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go back and talk to them." β
I didn't expect Shi Yao to agree so quickly, so I smiled and said, "Then I'm here to wait for good news, but not too long, I'll give you an hour at most." β
Shi Yao glanced at me, then stood up and walked out.
"I'm telling you, you're so unkind!" After Shi Yao went out, Di Yan said to me: "When I said I was going with you yesterday, you worked hard, why did you take the initiative to invite you today?" I'm so sorry I could have helped you just now! Say, are you tempted to see two beautiful girls over there, you kid, a guy with a hidden evil heart......"
"Come on, you." Ziqing, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Just such a poor egg and pervert as you, who wants to take you away, thinking that everyone is like you!" β
"Oh, don't say that, girl, I'm... I'm very gentle in my heart, and I'm also very considerate to girls! β
"Phew! It's disgusting! β
"What the hell is this, you hurt my heart so much! OH my babyοΌ You hurt My Hea
tοΌ β
"Go, don't speak English if you don't speak!"
"Hey, let's not talk about that, have you noticed, Shi Lei, this kid actually laughed a lot just now!"
"I ...... Yes, my God, I just feel so awkward, he actually laughed, it's so scary! β
"Yes, yes, girl, I'll tell you......"
I immediately interrupted the conversation and said, "You two seem to be very idle. β
The two of them looked at me one after another, and then turned their heads at the same timeβ
"This kind of eavesdropping on other people's conversations is the most immoral!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's really unqualified! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a while, Xiaoyu also walked out of the bedroom.
After a few small talks, Xiaoyu got to the point: "Brother Shi, Sister Peng and Xiaohan, what should ......I do?"
I gently stroked Xiaoyu's hair and said, "The most important thing now is that the three of you heal your injuries first." β
Xiaoyu's two hands grabbed my arms tightly and nodded gently.
Now the only people who don't know their whereabouts are Sister Peng and Xiaohan, and I don't know if they are safe or not. But with our current situation, there is no way to go to them...... A smile hangs on the face, and thoughts remain in the heart.
The situation developed a little faster than I expected, and after more than forty minutes, Shi Yao returned, and he also took the four people of the bow girl.
Shi Yao told me that he had already agreed with everyone, and that they all joined my team and agreed to my terms. I looked at the bow girl's complaining face, and secretly wondered how Shi Yao made her sense.
I stood up and stretched my muscles and bones, and said: "I repeat to you again, you are now joining my team, so all actions must be under my command, you can make suggestions, but not against my decision, of course, I will not send you to death, the purpose of this is to let everyone live as united." I don't force it, and if I accept it, I stay. β
Several people did not respond, nor did they move, but the expressions on their faces were different. Let these people who have not met a few times listen to me, a 20-year-old boy, and they will be more or less dissatisfied. But I had to establish that and say, "I need your answer." β
"We accept." The man who was afraid of me before sighed and said, "The second lieutenant told us about this just now, and everyone agreed to come here. β
"Okay," I said, "My name is Shi Lei, and I will be 21 this year, so let's introduce ourselves first." β
