Chapter 36: Longtan Tiger's Den on
I took off my shirt and wet it with mineral water to help the unconscious Zeng Meimei wipe her face, I sat quietly beside her and watched her, her eyes were closed and her face was pale, her lips were cracked due to long-term dryness, her face was sallow, there was no blood, and on her thin cheeks, two cheekbones protruded there like two hills.
Jiang Yuhan came over and sat next to me, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyang, she's fine, it won't take long for her to wake up......"
I took a sip of the mineral water in my hand and handed it to him.
"Fat brother, am I useless?"
He said thoughtfully, "Do you want to hear the truth?" You're not useless, you're not willing to do anything yourself. You pushed all the ideas that belonged to you to Zeng Meimei......"
I looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
"Yaoyang, you are actually a person with great ambitions and a very careful person. You want to change everyone around you, you want to prove that there is still love and hope in this world, but you don't do anything, you give Zeng Meimei everything you think and do. You always remind her what to do from the side, you always encourage her from the side, you give her the glory of the successful person, but at the same time, you also give her the sadness and invisible pressure behind the brilliance. ”
I suddenly looked at the familiar and strange fat man in front of me in shock, familiar because he was Jiang Yuhan, strange because he actually had a pair of eyes that saw through my heart. I thought that my performance was seamless, but he had already seen it through. So I pretended to be sluggish and asked him with a smirk: "Hehe, fat brother! What are you talking about? ”
He seemed to understand that I was pretending to be stupid, and he continued to himself: "I don't know what you have experienced before, but I know that you have been trying to use Zeng Meimei to make everyone change, and you have never wanted everyone to get close to you, you are not really hurting people, you want everyone to hate you, and you want everyone to forget you quickly." Because your heart isn't here at all, you're going to leave someday, right? ”
I couldn't hide it, but I didn't want him to know too much.
"Fat brother, do you know why? For I saw many dead people, many dead people who had died because of me. I used to want to change them like Zeng Meimei, but it turned out that it was self-inflicted affection and love of comfort that were the fault of Chinese people from ancient times to the present, and finally I gave up on them. They're all dead......"
He asked, "Since you know that there is no cure, why do you encourage Zeng Meimei to do it?" ”
I lowered my head: "I don't know...... Maybe I want to atone for my sins, but today you also saw it, no matter how hard Zeng Meimei tried...... The result? ”
Jiang Yuhan grabbed my shoulder and asked sternly, "Then are you going to give up everyone now?" ”
I didn't have the confidence to be asked by him...
"I ...... I don't know, I'm not in charge. Now the decision lies with Zeng Meimei! She said give up, then we'll leave right away and leave these people to fend for themselves. If she insists, then I will continue to encourage her from the side......"
Jiang Yuhan shook his head and said, "I see, the good guys and the bad guys have let Zeng Meimei do it, what about you...... You can enter and retreat, live freely, and be happy. ”
I was silent, I was speechless, I didn't even dare to look at him.
Jiang Yuhan let go of the hand that was holding me...
Chen Yaoyang...... You have the power but you don't do it...... Your legs are rotten, won't your whole body be rotten? ”
His words poked at the sore spot in my heart, and I was enraged...
"Is my leg rotten because of myself?! Yes? You're a doctor and you can save my life, but can you save my legs?! Now I'm like a doctor, I can change the world, but can I change the root of the problem? ”
He was silent, and then slowly squeaked and replied, "Don't do it...... How do you know you can't? ”
I suddenly felt funny, applauded and said: "Hey, hey~ Hehe, the root of the problem is not brought by you and me, nor by bad people, nor by zombies!" The big guys thought that as long as the zombies were eliminated, the root of the problem would be solved, and we thought that as long as we survived this disaster, the root of the problem would be solved. The root of the problem will not disappear with the destruction of zombies, nor will it disappear by itself because the country is getting stronger, because the people of China have been denying and avoiding the root of the problem from ancient times to the present...... But in fact, every Chinese person knows what the root cause is, that is, they love comfort too much......"
He said, "That'...... Now that the root of the problem has been discovered, it must be changed~"
I patted my rotten leg...
"I used to have this ideal, but my ideal is worthless in this real world, and the ideal has long been like my leg...... Rotten ......"
"Cripple! Oh, Dr. Jiang is also there, that's just right! ”
Zhang Yi and Zhao Xiaoling suddenly came to the rooftop, but what I didn't expect was that Zhou Yuting, Liu Li, and Zhou Yong also came up with him. I said to myself, What is he going to do?
I asked what I thought, but Zhang Yi's answer surprised me...
"Cripple, I brought your wife and your father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiaoling and my baby, just said that the doctor is also there, let's leave tonight!" Get out of here and let those white-eyed wolves fend for themselves! ”
I was surprised, "Damn, you're not serious, are you?" That's more than 300 lives......"
Zhang Yi said again: "Do they take your lives seriously?" If you don't go, tomorrow they're going to push you out as a shield! ”
Zhou Yuting ran over and hugged me, I didn't react for a while and was almost knocked down by her...
"Husband! Woo woo woo ~ I'm so scared! ”
I comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, obediently ......"
Liu Li said: "Yaoyang, you have to think of a way!" ”
Zhou Yong said: "Yaoyang, we are all a family now, you can't leave us and run away by yourself!" ”
Zhao Xiaoling said: "How is Sister Xiaomei? Let's wait until she wakes up before making a decision......"
Zhou Yong said again: "The woman's opinion! What's the use of her waking up, she can't protect herself now! ”
Zhao Xiaoling returned: "Hey! Why are you like this?! Have you forgotten who saved your family? ”
"I didn't say I forgot! But she can't do it now, if she doesn't run away and wait for us to die? ”
"Then I have to wait for people to wake up and take them with me!"
"I didn't say no! You're sick as a woman, aren't you? ”
"Why are you scolding?!"
"What's wrong with scolding you?!"
"Believe it or not, my husband hacked you to death!"
"My son-in-law is not jealous!"
Zhao Xiaoling and Zhou Yong became more and more noisy, Zhang Yi and I were caught in the middle, and finally he spoke first...
"Noisy, noisy! What time is it now, can you stop infighting! ”
Jiang Yuhan looked at me and said, "Yaoyang, now what do you say, you make a decision." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me expectantly, why was it me again? If you choose to escape, it means that more than 300 people in the museum will die, what is the difference between abandoning the students on the rooftop before? Choosing to stay means handing over Zeng Meimei, but she has rescued me from the abyss of death again and again, and we have experienced so many things together, my feelings for her can no longer be said to be friendship or family affection. I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know ......."
Zhang Yi suddenly roared at me: "Cripple! What use do you say?! I can't fight a fight, I can't drive a car, and now I make a decision and twist and pinch like a mother-in-law! What do you think you can do?! ”
"Why are you scolding my husband!"
Zhou Yuting crossed her waist and pointed at Zhang Yi and said loudly: "Do you know how difficult it is to make such a decision? No one wants to be this sinner, why should my husband be this sinner?! He doesn't owe you anything! ”
Zhou Yuting held my face and said, "Husband, don't be afraid. If anyone wants to bully you, Yuting will fight with him. ”
"It's disgusting! Phew! ”
I was a coward who relied on women's protection in Zhang Yi's eyes at this time, and his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at me. But what can I say? I don't want to be a sinner, all I can say is "I don't know"......
Zhang Yi pointed at me and said, "I have never seen a person like you, my sister who protected you has fallen, and now I want my wife to protect me, it's really not a shame!" Why don't you wear women's clothes? ”
Not to be outdone, Zhou Yuting scolded: "Fuck your mother! Which green onion are you?! I know what kind of person my husband is, and you are not allowed to insult him like this! Get lost!! ”
"Forget it, don't worry about your nineteen-year-old hairy girl, coax your husband, he's going to cry......"
Zhang Yi pulled Zhao Xiaoling downstairs, Jiang Yuhan looked at me and sighed and went downstairs with Zeng Meimei on his back, Zhou Yong said: "Yuting, you have a good chat with Yaoyang, I will go down with your mother first...... Hey~"
……
They are all gone, and only me and Zhou Yuting are left on the huge rooftop, I don't want to talk, she has been trying to open the conversation without saying a word......
"Husband, don't be upset......"
I looked at her and said, "Go down too, I want to be alone for a while." ”
"I don't! I'm your wife, and I'm obligated to be with you when you're sad! ”
Her determined expression made me feel funny, in fact, I have been trying to treat her as Li Huanhuan, but I can't do it, we are already married, if I do this, it will be too unfair to her, I have to force myself to like her...
"Okay, wife, you're so sweet."
Her eyes lit up and she hugged me...
"I love it when you call me that! I'm so happy! ”
"Okay, okay, you're going to strangle me to death."
She suddenly squeaked and said, "I thought about ......."
"Huh? What? ”
"I thought about ......"
I said to myself, "Isn't it?" This girl still has a hobby of field warfare? Although I haven't had that since I got married, but now Zeng Meimei is still unconscious, but I am doing that kind of thing on the rooftop, isn't it heartless?
She said while taking off her pants: "Let's have a baby now, I'm angry with Zhang Yi's bastard, he has a baby, and we will give birth to one!" ”
I hurriedly put on her pants...
"Don't don't, don't don't, we'll talk about the baby later! Let's pass the regeneration ...... tomorrow."
"I don't! Now is it! ”
"You don't listen to your husband anymore, do you? I don't like you anymore! ”
"Hmm~ well......"
In order to coax her downstairs, I held her in my arms and kissed her fiercely for a while, and said a lot of meaty and earthy love words, and she was ready to go downstairs with satisfaction...
"Husband!" She stopped suddenly.
I asked, "Didn't you go downstairs?" What are you doing? ”
She looked at me with a serious expression and asked, "Husband, do you want to be the king here?" ”
I was confused by her question, and I said, "What do you mean?" What do you mean I don't want to be the king here? I don't know what her purpose was in asking that, and I don't know how to answer her. Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, she said to herself: "If Zeng Meimei never wakes up, if Li Jingliang never comes back, if Zhang Yi is kicked out, then no one will restrain you, and you can be the king here." We husband and wife will never have to look at other people's faces again! ”
A few simple words sent chills down my spine, nineteen-year-old she had such a scheming mind, and I have been ignoring this since I got married, and I know why I don't like her anymore, because of the black heart under the princess's skin......
I said, "How can you think like that?" I've warned you before not to try to touch anyone around me! Otherwise, I'll ......."
I didn't say any more, she looked me in the eye and asked, "How else?" Kill me? ”
Zhou Yuting's eyes were very strange, she slowly walked up to me, and I only felt that the air seemed to be frozen at the moment.
"Come on!!!"
She suddenly screamed, startling me.
"Hahahahaha! Hahaha......"
She held her stomach and laughed as if she was about to die, and the tension she had just laughed at once disappeared.
"Hahahaha! Husband, husband, husband, scared you, right? ”
She seemed to see my heart, so she yelled again, and then said, "Just kidding hahahaha...... Okay~ People are so cute, are you willing to kill people? Ah! I won't bully you, Momoda! Bye-bye, go down! ”
It's dark......
In the clear night sky, the moon was like a shy girl, covering her beautiful face with clouds, and the little stars blinked playfully, like countless pearls hanging in the endless night sky. The starry sky is beautiful because it shines brightly in the night, and perhaps, a person's life must be as lonely as the starry sky to be so brilliant......
After quitting smoking for five years, I re-lit it tonight, and the hot feeling in my lungs made me feel very relaxed, and my dizzy head seemed to make me forget all the things I was worried about. There used to be a woman who made me no longer need cigarettes, but now that I am separated from her, cigarettes have become my only medicine......
"Why are you kid smoking again?!"
A female figure wearing a yellow waistcoat of Meituan takeaway slowly walked out of the darkness...
"Smoking is not good for your health and you will get lung cancer, don't you take my words to heart?"
I immediately threw half of my cigarette butt downstairs and said to her with a joking smile, "You care about me!" Don't you want me as a brother? What are you doing here?! ”
The old lady walked up to me and said angrily, "Stinky boy! I'm your own sister, how could I not want you? Tell me what bad things you've done lately? ”
I looked at the familiar face in front of me, and my eyes suddenly heated, and I knew I was crying again, and I knew I was hallucinating again. But now the scene is so real...
I said, "Sister...... Am I useless? I put everything I should have endured on someone else, and let someone else bear the pain of failure for me......"
The elder sister asked, "Brother, do you know what responsibility is?" ”
I sighed and said, "I've tried, but what can I change?" I tried to make them change, I was protecting them, and what did I get? ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Change yourself! Do you do everything just to show others? Do you want to make yourself decadent just because others don't understand? Don't lose your self-confidence and courage because of a failure, what should be yours is yours, and you can't push it off. ”
I can't always find a reasonable explanation to refute her, this woman who has worked for me all her life as a mother and a sister since I was a child, she is like living in my head, and my lies are useless in front of her......
"Sister, why do you think I can ......?"
She interrupted me...
"Because you are a big hero in my sister's heart, a big hero without flowers and cheers. This rotten world needs heroes ......"
"Heroes?"
She smiled, turned around and said, "It's going to be dawn soon, do what you have to do, and my sister should go too......"
"No!! Sister, don't go!! ”
I tried to hug her, but she was gone, leaving me with a vast starry sky.
"Sister! Sister! You don't go! ”
I looked at the starry sky and shouted, and my sister's voice in the starry sky carried a kind of hollowness...
"Yaoyang! My sister has never left you, my sister lives in your heart! Yaoyang! Don't forget, you're your sister's hero! Heroes can't cry, heroes are strong ......"
"I know my sister'!!!"
……
The day dawned, the night gradually dispersed, and the golden sunlight pierced the clouds like an arrow, giving heaven light and vitality.
More than 300 people in the museum had sleepless fatigue on their faces, and they sat or stood, and their eyes never left Zeng Meimei's room. They looked forward to the woman's awakening and generosity......
Buzz!
The roar of the car motor reached everyone's ears through the stadium gate...
"It's coming, it's coming! They're coming! ”
"What should I do?! I don't want to die! ”
A man shouted, "Get that woman out, she's the only way we can live!" ”
The hall was in chaos at the moment, and everyone was boiling as if they had been doused with oil, they wanted to rush to Zeng Meimei's room, but they were afraid of the 95 automatic rifle that Zhang Yi was carrying on his shoulder, Zhang Yi sat cross-legged at the door, with a kind of killing momentum. None of the people dared to rush forward, for the simple reason that they were afraid of shooting their heads......
"Big brother! We beg you, give that woman to them! ”
"Big brother, you are not related to that woman, why do you go against the will of the public and go the other way?"
"Please, big brother!"
A woman took a child of four or five years old and knelt in front of him...
"Big brother, we are all old and young, my husband is gone, I want my daughter to live, please, big brother......"
"Uncle! Please......"
The woman and the child fell to their knees with tears in their eyes, and more than 300 people fell to their knees in a moment, and death was only a door away and they collapsed......
Zhang Yi seemed to be moved, and he said in a somewhat choked voice: "Why? Why don't so many of you dare to resist?! Why would you rather gamble your life than resist?! Never mind...... Never mind...... I'll be the sinner......"
Zhang Yi shook his head weakly, slowly stood up, and put his head on Zeng Meimei's door...
"I'm sorry to be in charge, please forgive me...... I really tried my best......"
I walked up to him and asked, "Are you calling me?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly pointed at me and scolded: "Stinky cripple! It's up to you, and you want to be the boss too?! ”
I looked at him, turned to everyone, and said, "Don't those madmen want our leader here?" Now I'm the leader! I'm your bet, I'm in charge! ”
The crowd asked, "Why should we believe you?!" ”
"That's right! Have you done anything for everyone, a cripple? ”
I smiled and said, "That's a good question, because I haven't done anything, so I'll do the bet this time." Let me first affirm that I am not for you, I am for Zeng Meimei. ”
They asked, "Are you a half-cripple?" Is your life that valuable? ”
I said: "Whether my life is worth anything depends on you, after I leave with them, at least you are safe today, it depends on whether you can get out of here today, the more you survive, the more my life is worth ......"
I looked back at Zhang Yi and said, "Those crazy people don't know whether it's a man or a woman who is leading our side, so there's no problem with letting me go." Find a way to take everyone away today, go to the countryside, at least there won't be too many zombies, there are crops in the countryside, and you can grow your own food. Over to you...... Zhang Yi ......"
He asked, "If you go to die, will your wife, your father-in-law, and Dr. Jiang agree?" ”
I said, "They are in my room, and now they are tied up by me...... I volunteered......"
I was just about to leave, but he stopped me again...
"Chen Yaoyang, I'm sorry...... I take back what I said last night because I have a wife and children...... I'm sorry...... But if you can run, run away, be a hero, don't be a martyr......"
I looked at him and said, "Hero? I don't deserve those two words yet...... Those JF troops who sacrificed for the people in this disaster, they are the heroes......"
……
More than 300 people in the museum separated from the middle to give me a way of no return, when I watched "Jingwumen" when I was a child, and finally Chen Zhen died generously for the national righteousness, I felt really handsome at that time! But now when I was about to die generously, I knew that Chen Zhen must have 10,000 grass Nima galloping in his heart at that time, and no one was really afraid of death, and my legs were shaking when I was walking now......
Click!
The two men closest to the door slowly opened the iron door, the first thing that caught my eye was an army green off-road vehicle, because of the distance I couldn't see the situation on the left and right sides of the car, but when I walked out of the gymnasium gate, I was shocked by the scene in front of me in a cold sweat, it turned out that there were twenty-one bloodstained army green off-road vehicles outside, and there was a machine gun on the roof of each on the left and right, and the people in the car immediately jumped down as soon as they saw someone come out, I probably took a preliminary look at a total of about seventy or eighty people, All of them were cross-faced, countless machetes shone in the sun, and there were twenty people in the middle who were armed with all 95 automatic rifles. This is almost catching up with the firepower of a platoon, does this formation seem to be here to pick up people? It's like he wants to kill us without leaving a piece of armor behind.
But if they want to attack, why wait for me to come out? So I forcibly suppressed the fear in my heart, and I didn't let them see that my legs were shaking, and I cleared my throat and asked aloud, "Why are you doing such a big formation?" If it's just for scary, that's too exaggerated, right? You're not just here to show off your wealth, are you? Hahaha! ”
A middle-aged strong man wearing black sunglasses and a mustache slowly walked out of the crowd. He looked me up and down and asked, "You're the leader here?" ”
Although I am scared to death in my heart, I know that I have no way out, but I must not lose in terms of momentum...
"Isn't it like?"
He sneered: "It's really not like it, it's like a little ruffian." ”
I didn't rush to answer, and casually lit myself a cigarette. Seeing that I was delayed, he slowly walked up to me. I casually dropped the cigarette butt at his feet, and then I looked at him and chuckled, "Yes! I'm a little ruffian, but now that the world has changed, it's not enough to just put on a posture and scare people with a gun......"
Before I could finish my sentence, he suddenly pulled out a silver pistol from his waist and put it on my head.
He sneered and said, "It's not enough to have a gun, what else do you need?" I'm going to blow your head right now!! ”
