Volume II: Original Sin Chapter 10: The Visitor
"What's the matter? Is there anything about the gate? ”
I really didn't take this gate that wasn't repaired, and I didn't feel any frustration, but Cao Hua suddenly said this, and I couldn't help but ask curiously.
From the accident on the train to the present, fighting against living corpses, fighting, maneuvering, trying to relocate and garrison supplies, despite the constant difficulties, I think that the handling is relatively smooth.
I was thinking more about the newspaper in the gas station, and as for repairing the gate, it was the icing on the cake, and I did it without a good plan, not to dilute the pile of things in the morning.
Besides, my ability, in terms of combat, individual action, or planning and command group, let alone here, even if it is placed in the army, I don't say one of the best, I can be regarded as one of the best players, just because this gate has not been built for a while, will I be criticized?
Cao Hua kept looking at Sun Hao who was moving the car in the distance, and I could only see his side face.
Hearing my question, he sighed and said:
"This service area is much better than the previous hostel environment, the job I did before, I was very active when I worked, and when I got the money in the end, my old partner had a red face, not to mention the last person who had a different heart and killed someone."
Speaking of this, Cao Hua turned his head to look at me, his back to the sun, and his eyes, which were already a little sunken, looked even deeper.
"Your superiors can order you to stay and rebuild the safe zone, you should think about the severity of the outside, I don't know how long this disaster will last, but everyone can understand one thing in their hearts, that is, the living can become living corpses, but the living corpses can no longer become living people, there will only be more and more living corpses, and there will only be fewer and fewer living people......"
At this moment, Cao Hua's face became more and more tense, and he said seriously:
"When resources are scarce, cohesion is strong, and resources are abundant, but it is easy to cause branches."
The last few sentences, I heard in the clouds, why are there abundant resources, but they are full of branches?
"There are fewer living people, so everyone naturally needs to resist together, but what you said later ......"
I was puzzled.
"Not everyone is content with the status quo, do you think everyone will always be in this service area with respect, waiting for help for an unknown amount of time? Even if they are rescued to a new safe area, it is just a larger service area, and as long as they feel that they cannot return to the previous social mechanism, the first thing they need to do is to make their own calculations. In this world, only people's hearts are dissatisfied, when life becomes mechanical, desires will begin to expand, and they will be restricted by the law before, but now? Under the strict criminal law, there will still be people who are ready to act with a fluke mentality, let alone now? ”
I looked at Cao Hua in a daze.
Now I understand.
This remark shattered the beautiful world in my heart, and in front of Cao Hua, I was more like a child who was not deeply involved in the world.
"Let's do this first, what are you two talking about? Let's go inside and figure out how to get there. ”
Sun Hao and the others had already re-blocked the exit, standing not far away and shouting to the two of us.
I came to my senses, stood up and patted my buttocks, ready to go back.
Cao Hua patted me on the shoulder, stretched out his head and whispered:
"The more Sun Hao looks at it now, the less he looks like a peaceful person, he will enter the house for a while, and he will think about every sentence before speaking."
After speaking, I walked straight to the hall, and I followed quickly, digesting Cao Hua's words vigorously.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw Jin Lan and Sun Kexin standing in front of the window, chatting while looking around.
"Didn't you say that the gate should be repaired? It's all back......"
"Huh? It was all moved before, why is it blocked again? ”
Sun Hao walked past the two of them and said with a smile:
"I have to ask Brother Zang about this."
Sure enough, Cao Hua said it.
The door was not done well because I lacked consideration and experience, but Sun Hao didn't help to find a way at this time, and he sneered at yin and yang.
The gate was built for the convenience of everyone, and his current attitude is completely to watch the excitement.
I felt irritable for a while, but when I thought of Cao's words, I just suppressed the fire, and said with a smile:
"Alas, miscalculation, miscalculation, no success, and then think of another way."
I found a place to sit down, and it was a normal joke for Sun Hao.
Sun Hao didn't speak again, a room of people sitting around with nothing to do, discussing how to build the gate in a few words, at this time Yan Su and Tana walked in.
"Uncle Zang, have you repaired the gate for us?"
As soon as Tana entered the restaurant, she cheerfully ran up to me and asked me.
"Not yet, because Uncle Zang has encountered a lot of difficulties, and it won't be solved for a while, so your Uncle Sun Hao blocked the gate again."
I replied to Tana, and I also said it to everyone in the restaurant, and the reason why I mentioned Sun Hao was to see if he would say something.
"I thought you had already planned it, but it's okay, everyone is idle, just think we're exercising with you for half a day."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
If it had been before, I would have thought it was his humor and joked with me.
But now, after getting along for a while, I can hear the thorn in his words, he actually wants to say that I don't understand, blind command, and others follow blindly and work hard.
I was thinking about how to go back smoothly, when Cao Hua spoke:
"Staff Officer Zang, your perfect image in my heart is now flawed, and you will be deducted points this time, you have to continue to work hard, and strive to make achievements in the construction industry."
Cao Hua's jokes, the atmosphere in the restaurant became relaxed, and I hurriedly followed the conversation:
"It may be that I got stuck in my waist yesterday, I hit some nerves, my brain seems to be going to strike, and I have convulsions all day, what Brother Cao said is, I will review and I will review."
"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, know that mistakes can be corrected is a good comrade, you have worked hard for a long time, you must be hungry, let's start eating first, and find a way together when we are full."
Yan Liangyi also followed the round, stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the supermarket with a smile.
"What do you eat? I'll bring it for you. ”
Following the voice, it was Sun Hao who was asking Feng Yuan about them.
"I'll go over and get it."
Feng Yuan followed and stood up.
Yanxu looked at me and said:
"There is rice in the kitchen, I boiled porridge, you ......"
"Hey, there's porridge, help me fill a bowl, I'll help you get what you eat."
Before I could speak, Sun Hao had already walked over and said to Yanxu.
Yan Su was interrupted halfway through his words, lowered his head, and whispered:
"I'll just take it myself."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"You go get what you eat, Yanxu, I'll just bring the pot out."
Cao Hua sat next to me, he saw all this, stood up and walked to the kitchen, and turned around halfway through and shouted to He Yang:
"He Yang, come and get the bowl."
Sun Hao turned around and walked towards the supermarket with some embarrassment.
I simply sat down and waited for Cao Hua and He Yang to be together, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Jin Lan and Sun Kexin, pointing at Yan Xu not far away, whispering something.
These two women, I really don't have a good impression of them at all, say they are a vulnerable group, their words and deeds always make you unable to raise a trace of sympathy, you don't take your own meals, and you will pick and choose after others bring them.
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, Cao Hua and He Yang took out the porridge and put it away, everyone had already come back from the supermarket with food one after another, and I hurriedly beckoned the two of them to go to the supermarket together.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, I saw Feng Yuan and Sun Hao talking quietly in the distance, Feng Yuan saw me coming in, stretched his neck hard, and shouted to me:
"Brother Zang, do you want sausages?"
Sun Hao glanced back at me quickly, not knowing what he was muttering.
The fools could see that they didn't know what to say, but they were not slow to react, and Feng Yuan was slightly better.
I responded:
"No, no, you can take it, I'll see what I eat, and I'll take it myself."
Saying that, I grabbed a bag of mustard, I like to eat mustard...
As soon as I sat down in the dining room, Yanxu helped me put a bowl of porridge in front of me, I hurriedly said thank you, Cao Hua looked at it, grinned and began to joke:
"Why didn't I? In terms of temperament, I don't lose Zhijie. ”
Yan Xu listened to the spoon in his hand and almost didn't fall to the ground, didn't speak, couldn't help but laugh and filled him a bowl, and then sat down to eat his own food.
I saw that Cao Hua was about to ridicule him, and I happened to see Sun Hao on the side, he was looking this way with a displeased face, met my gaze, and instantly pretended to look out of the window, and then lowered his head and tore the sausage package in his hand.
This Sun Hao is so wrong, I have to watch out for him.
Of course, there is Feng Yuan, after all, Sun Shouye's matter has not yet been clarified, and Feng Yuandi is still the most suspicious.
When I went to the supermarket just now, I took a special look at the bar in the lobby, and there were many newspapers on the magazine shelves next to the bar, but now they are long gone.
Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
Silently took a sip of porridge, put down the bowl, habitually glanced out the window, then picked up the bowl and poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth.
Wrong!
I quickly put down the bowl and looked out the window.
There were two figures at the exit, crawling into the courtyard!
The little man who climbed in first had a crossbow in his hand, and the one standing on the roof of the car about to jump down had an axe in his hand, and when I saw this, I stared at the window and said:
"Don't eat yet, someone is coming, they have weapons, women and children go upstairs first, don't come out until it's safe."
Although those two people are obviously not living corpses, they both have weapons in their hands, and Cao Hua has re-sorted out my humanity today, so I have begun to re-examine everyone.
As for this kind of survivable survivor, it must be treated with caution first, and after saying that, I quickly ran upstairs, pinned the pistol to my waist, closed the door and ran down again.
The women and children had already gone upstairs, and the rest of the people were standing in the hall waiting for me.
"Lao Yan, you go out with me, the others stay here, and then go out after confirming that it is safe."
After saying that, I pushed open the door of the hall, and the two people in the yard were looking at the gas station, and when they turned around and saw me standing in the yard, they were startled at first, and the little man hurriedly raised his crossbow at me, Yan Liangyi hurriedly waved his hand and shouted:
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, we're human."
The little man slowly lowered his crossbow, and the two men walked towards us one after the other.
"Yes, yes, this is your base? How many of you are there? ”
The man with the axe had a face full of flesh, and although he grinned, he still didn't feel kindness, but he clearly saw that he was missing a front tooth, no wonder he felt a little leaky when he spoke.
"A dozen survivors on our side, what about you? Just two people? How did you get here? ”
I threw out a barrage of questions, trying to get to know them as much as I could.
"Oh, there are five of us, they are in the car outside, the door is blocked and the car can't drive in, I just went to Hami City, there are too many living corpses in the city, I can't stay at all, don't you want to run to the highway to try your luck."
The little man with the crossbow replied, "The corpses in Hami City were so lightly said by him, I couldn't help but be even more curious about their identities.
The little man had sharp-beaked monkey gills, and it was obvious from the way he held the crossbow that he was very skilled, and it was clear that he did not learn to use the crossbow only after a disaster.
These two people, judging from their faces alone, don't look like any kind of goodness, and it has been nearly a month since the disaster happened, how they wandered around to survive, this is also a question.
As for the feeling of the two of them talking, it was very uncomfortable.
How can I say that feeling?
Naughty?
Fool around?
It doesn't seem to be.
