Chapter 4 Bitter Whisky
"What do you mean?" Zhang Cheng was a little unclear about He Chuli's words.
He Chuli pointed to his glasses and said, "According to the image I just scanned, Wei Chuxian led the newcomer to find the bar, but because it was dark, it didn't seem to be planning to come back to pick us up." ”
"How is that possible!" Zhang Cheng couldn't believe it, he had always been very optimistic about Wei Chuxian, and even thought that he was the most suitable candidate to replace him as the captain, but he didn't expect Wei Chuxian to directly abandon these veterans, maybe at the beginning, when other newcomers were dissatisfied with letting them find a bar, Wei Chuxian already had this plan, so he would cooperate so much.
"This is the new person you've always wanted to protect! Alright, let's go too! He Chuli walked outside the house and ignored Zhang Cheng.
Looking at Zhang Cheng in a daze, Fu Shuai patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, Brother Zhang Cheng, no matter what, we will support you." Mu Yi and Long Cen next to him also nodded.
Looking up at Fu Shuai and the others, Zhang Cheng showed a bitter smile and walked out of the room.
When he came outside, the scene in front of him reminded Zhang Cheng of the scene of Resident Evil. The whole world was silent, only the breeze occasionally rolled up the newspapers and garbage scattered on the ground, the streets were a mess, there was not a single figure in sight, cars were parked in all directions, some crashed together, some hit light poles, some crashed into shops. The only difference from the city that has been baptized by the biochemical virus is probably that there are many people's clothes scattered on the ground, and after people are swallowed by the shadows, their clothes will be scattered like this, as if to confirm that they once existed.
"Oh my God, the silence of this world is terrible." Mu Yi couldn't help smacking his tongue.
"If you keep complaining here, you'll soon be one of them." Fu Shuai joked on the side, but looking at the gradual darkening of the sky, it is estimated that it will be completely dark in 5 minutes at most.
Following He Chuli along the street, after a while, classical jazz music came from the distance, and a neon sign stood out in this world that was about to be shrouded in darkness, and the on-and-out wine glass pattern seemed to welcome everyone.
"Murong Wei seems to have come out to find us, but it's a pity that the flashlight she was holding is about to run out of power, and her sense of direction is not very good, she is off the street with us, and judging from the speed of dark, it seems that she has no time to return to the bar." When he was about to arrive at the bar, He Chuli suddenly pointed to the right and said.
"What?" When Zhang Cheng heard He Chuli's words, he exclaimed, and regardless of the others' stops, he quickly ran in the direction He Chuli pointed, and it only took a few seconds to run to the next street a hundred meters apart, but at this time the sky was completely dark, Zhang Cheng found that there was a light source not far away that was flickering on and off, Zhang Cheng shouted: "Murong Wei!" ”
"I'm here!" The voice from the light source was crying.
Zhang Cheng rushed over with an arrow step, didn't talk nonsense, picked up Murong Wei and ran in the direction of the bar, when the bar sign appeared in the field of vision, the flashlight in Murong Wei's hand finally exhausted the last bit of electrical energy and went out at once.
At this time, Zhang Cheng found that there were many strange black shadows on the ground and walls around him, and they also made terrifying sounds similar to human ** when they moved, these things should be the so-called "shadows", and Zhang Cheng felt extremely dangerous in his heart - these shadows must not be touched.
Maybe it's because the sun has just set, these shadows haven't spread all over the corners, they just follow behind Zhang Cheng, and the speed is even a little slower, and soon Zhang Cheng crashed into the bar under the response of Fu Shuai and others at the door, if Murong Wei ran to the bar by himself just now, it would definitely be too late.
Seeing Zhang Cheng rushing into the bar with Murong Wei in his arms, Wei Chuxian's expression was obviously a little panicked, but he immediately returned to normal, and hurriedly said: "I just finished explaining to them, in fact, we have just found the bar, but it is already dark, and we are planning to find a few flashlights to answer you." ”
Zhang Cheng put down Murong Wei in his arms, then sneered and said coldly: "Hmph, is it?" ”
"Of course, we're counting on you veterans to keep us alive." When he proposed to give up Zhang Cheng and these veterans just now, the other newcomers were all in favor, only this little girl strongly objected, but because of her young age, no one paid attention to her, and as a result, he took a flashlight to find Zhang Cheng and them, originally Wei Chuxian thought that this little girl would definitely die outside, but he didn't expect her to be rescued by Zhang Cheng, fortunately, Murong Wei did not expose his lies, Wei Chuxian breathed a sigh of relief, and the confident smile returned to his face again, He didn't know that his trick had already been seen through by He Chuli.
Zhang Cheng no longer paid attention to Wei Chuxian, but glanced at the interior of this bar. The decoration of this bar is a bit of a quaint western style, there are all kinds of foreign wines on display on the bar, and clothes are scattered on the seats at the bar and the private seats by the window, it can be seen that when the shadow invades, the business of this bar is very good, a record player in the corner is playing classical jazz music, and there is a billiard table in the center of the room.
Zhang Cheng felt a little thirsty from the rapid running just now, he looked at the bar where the wine was placed, found a bottle of whiskey that looked the most expensive, unscrewed the cork, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, but as soon as the wine was in his mouth, Zhang Cheng spit it out with a "poof". I used to watch movies, when foreigners were thirsty, they used wine to quench their thirst, and the feeling of watching them drink it all was very enjoyable, looking at the array of foreign wine on the bar, it evoked Zhang Cheng's memories, but as soon as this wine was in his mouth, he felt very bitter, a smell of Chinese medicine, and a little choking, and there was no sweet and delicious feeling as imagined at all.
"Ahem! What is this, why is it so unpleasant! Zhang Cheng complained.
"Whiskey needs to be drunk with some ice cubes to be refreshing!" A wine glass with ice cubes was handed to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng looked at Wei Chuxian, who handed over the wine glass, hesitated, but still took the wine glass, although his actions just now made Zhang Cheng very angry, but it can't be denied a person's value because of this one thing, besides, it is indeed He Chuli who wants to abandon the newcomer first, maybe Wei Chuxian will do it because he found this.
Zhang Cheng poured the whiskey in his hand into the wine glass with ice cubes, shook it slightly, took a sip, and shook his head.
(Even if you add ice, you can't hide its bitter nature!) )
