Chapter 256: Meeting an "Acquaintance"

"Otherwise, I'll go with you, I'm not worried about you being a girl." Ming Qi lowered his head and said.

He looked a little nervous now, and his words were a little incoherent.

"I'll go find someone, see you if you have a chance, I'm not used to having other people with me, and you don't have safety around me."

"But one more person also has one more pair of eyes, I try not to hold you back, I can also deal with those zombies, I know you are more powerful, I will listen to you whatever you say." Ming Qi seemed to have made up his mind.

"That's it, let's make an agreement, you stay here, develop this place into the safest place, if I don't find a suitable place to find someone, I will come here, I don't feel at ease about the safety factor here, you don't want us to find a place to live between people, right?" I say.

"But...... It's really not safe. Ming Qi's voice was a little low, but he still persisted.

"Then you're going to make this place as safe as you can, okay, I'm going out for a walk now." I smiled at him and left.

There is also a rule in this place, the gate must be locked at 7 o'clock in the evening, if someone goes out, they must come back before 7 o'clock, and if someone does not come back, then the door will not be opened again, which is also for everyone's safety.

Because at this time, it was dark at seven o'clock, and it was also the time when the zombies began to act.

I glanced at the time, it was almost six o'clock, and there was still an hour left.

"I'll come with you, too, and I want to see how the terrain is around." Ming Qi hurriedly said.

I didn't refuse him, and I went out the door.

It was very empty outside, and there was no place to live in the rest of the place, just like the fields of crops in the countryside, and there was no shelter as far as the eye could see.

Although this place is very remote, there are still zombies passing by here occasionally, and there are also some zombie corpses on the side of the road, which seem to be new, and it is estimated that they died here not long ago.

This place is good to say, and it is not good to say that it is not good, this place is too empty, and it is more convenient for zombies to move when the corpse tide hits.

After walking like this for a while, I suddenly saw a figure trembling slightly on the side of the road in the distance, and I couldn't tell whether it was a person or a zombie from here, but what appeared here alone at this time should be a zombie.

My eyes narrowed slightly, and I walked over to the figure.

"There are zombies here!" Ming Qi also found the shadow, and immediately exclaimed, and he hurriedly took out the knife from his pocket.

In the end, he has never killed zombies, and now his hand holding the knife is a little trembling, but think about it, it is better to let him exercise now, if he encounters zombies in the future, he will also have experience.

Soon we walked to the vicinity of the figure, and sure enough, it was a zombie, this zombie was holding a piece of rotten raw meat that had been turned out of nowhere, and was snorting and eating, and the chin from the nose down was gone, only the teeth were exposed, and he was chewing something, and there was no place on his body that was clean, it had been stained and dirty with blood, and there were clothes on his body, but he couldn't tell what color the clothes were before, and after these few days, his clothes were also tattered.

And the upper half of the face was also stained with blood, so I couldn't see the original appearance of the skin clearly, and only a pair of white pupils were exposed.

He should be a lonely zombie, he looks like he's been hungry for a long time, he lets out a roar when he eats, he is here and he is not killed by others, he is also very lucky.

But now...... He's already out of luck.

"Do you dare to kill zombies?" I glanced at Ming Qi next to me.

"Of course I dare! These things look terrifying, but the zombie's brain has degenerated, and there is no way to compare it to a human, and only by destroying his head is enough. Ming Qi spoke one by one.

"Then let me see how you killed it, so I can rest assured when I leave." With that, I took a few steps back and watched him perform.

Hearing me say this, Ming Qi's hand holding the knife tightened again, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it seemed that he was nervous now, but he still moved his pace towards the zombie.

The zombie was eating what was in his hand, and he was eating happily, and he seemed to feel that someone was approaching him, and the speed of eating suddenly slowed down.

Ming Qi slowly walked around the back of the zombie, and soon walked behind the zombie, he raised the knife high, and stabbed the zombie's head fiercely!

But at this time, the zombie who was eating suddenly stopped eating, turned around all of a sudden, and saw a living person behind him, and immediately threw away the meat in his hand, and roared Ming Qi rushed over!

Ming Qi probably didn't expect the zombie to suddenly turn around, his legs suddenly staggered, and he almost sat on the ground, but he still raised the knife, screamed and pounced.

However, this zombie looks much more sensitive than other zombies, and it is also a little smarter, unlike other zombies, who directly use their heads to catch knives, and they dodge it very flexibly!

Seeing this scene was not only Ming Qi, but even I was stunned, I was suddenly a little worried, the zombies have evolved so fast, and they have already been able to avoid in such a short period of time, if all the zombies will dodge, then won't the number of people living here in the future be reduced again?

And the people who survived must also have superior physical strength and reflexes, and ordinary people have no way to compete with these zombies.

When this thought crossed my mind, Ming Qi had already been fighting zombies for a few rounds.

Although zombies are more agile than others, they are still a little weak compared to normal people, after all, zombies are incomplete, which also affects their mobility, and more importantly, this zombie is also missing a right arm, and his walking is a little unbalanced.

Ming Qi is not much better, today is these few rounds, he has already begun to gasp, for a while, no one can touch anyone, but no one can hurt anyone.

Looking at the zombie's empty right arm, a figure suddenly crossed his mind.

The zombie with his right arm missing......

I couldn't help but take a look at the zombie, and suddenly I was a little surprised in my heart, this zombie ...... Could it be Li Zhi......

When Li Zhi went in, he was missing a right arm, but when he was with so many zombies, even if he didn't die, he should still be with those zombies, if this is not Li Zhi, then this is too much of a coincidence......

Li Zhi was much stronger and more agile than ordinary people when he was still a normal person, and it is possible that he has become a zombie and retains a little of his previous habits.

Seeing this scene, I hurriedly ran over and blocked directly in front of Ming Qi.

"You don't have to worry about me, I can solve him myself! Get out of the way! Ming Qi gasped for breath and said to me.

But when I just stood between the two of them, the originally fierce and abnormal zombie suddenly stopped moving, and there was a trace of confusion in the fierce eyes, and the zombie's head moved slightly, as if looking at me.

It was such a small action that made my heart beat wildly.

It's really Li Zhi! This zombie is really him! I didn't expect to see each other again.

I didn't expect him to really become a zombie now...... became the thing he once hated the most, he didn't die in those zombie groups, but he also ended up in such a tragic end.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, I'm going to kill this thing!" Ming Qi is about to come out of my back.

I took a deep breath: "You don't have to worry about this zombie. ”

"How can this work? This kind of thing must be disposed of immediately! Otherwise, it won't be good to wait for him to harm others! Ming Qi said.

"Don't worry about it, he'll leave it to me." I turned around and glanced at Ming Qi coldly: "Didn't you say that you would listen to me before?" Are you going to regret it now? ”

Ming Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then slowly dropped the knife in his hand.

"You can wait for me somewhere else." I say.

There was a trace of struggle in Ming Qi's eyes, but in the end he nodded: "Then be careful yourself, I will watch you not far behind you, if there is anything, you can just call me directly." ”

After finishing speaking, Ming Qi slowly stepped back step by step, and he stood not far behind me, staring at here very vigilantly.

The zombie in front of me still didn't move, just staring at me.

"Li Zhi?" I called out to him tentatively.

But this zombie didn't react anymore, and I didn't know if the zombie could understand Mandarin, so the zombie in front of me looked at me like this for a while, and then suddenly turned around slowly and picked up the rotten piece of raw meat that had just been thrown on the ground.

Slowly stuffed it into his mouth, and now he was eating meat much slower.

Seeing this scene, my excitement just now suddenly calmed down, I thought that the zombies still remembered me, it seems that I thought too much......

I was a little disappointed, but at this moment, the zombie suddenly turned around again, and the piece of carrion that had not been eaten in his hand walked in front of me step by step.

His action made me feel a little strange, and before I could react to what he was trying to do, he had already slowly handed the uneaten piece of carrion in front of me.

The hand clenched slightly.

Is he giving me food? I looked at the zombie in front of me, his white eyes still had a hint of confusion in them, his head slightly bent, and the residue of carrion on his teeth, but his meaning was already obvious.

Now I have determined that he is 100% Li Zhi!

I suddenly felt a little guilty, I didn't protect him well when he was alive, I didn't expect that even if he is now a zombie, he still remembers that I once helped him, and now I have to give me his most precious food......

He probably didn't know that now he was different from us, that the food they saw was not the same as what we ate, and that he and we were in a completely hostile relationship, and there was no way for him to live in the same air......

Even if he still has a trace of human consciousness, I will definitely protect him well, but now that he is gone, he is only giving me food out of reflex......

It won't be long before he probably doesn't know me anymore.

I looked at the piece of rotten meat in his hand, this piece of meat was really a bit miserable, it already smelled of foul smell, I watched quietly I don't know if he could understand what I said, but I don't know how to communicate with him now, or said slowly: "I'm full, you can keep this thing for yourself." ”

After I said this, he slowly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and began to eat in large gulps.

I think I understand......

At this time, Ming Qi didn't know when he had come behind me, he looked at the zombie in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Why is this zombie...... What if they don't attack you? ”

I took a deep breath, and for a moment I didn't know how to answer him.

At this time, the zombie had finished eating the carrion in his hand and was already limping into the distance.

At this time, it was almost dark, looking at the back of the zombies in the distance, I said word by word: "Because he was a policeman when he was alive, he was a good policeman, he has been thinking about others all his life, and he is to prevent these zombies from becoming what they are now......"

Ming Qi was silent.

I looked at the back of the zombie, and soon he disappeared into the night, and now he is gone, and I don't know when we will be able to meet, and I don't know if he will still be alive when we meet next time?

Although he has now become a zombie and is supposed to be destroyed, I suddenly don't want him to die, and I want him to live to the end......

But I won't interfere with anything, seeing this zombie let him go now is already my biggest selfishness.

"Let's go back, it's not too early." When the back of the zombie disappeared from my sight, I cleaned up my emotions and said lightly.

"Hmmm......"

Ming Qi and I returned to the previous place step by step, and when I walked back, I couldn't help but look back, although I didn't see the zombie, but I still felt that he was still looking at me from a distance with that blank gaze.

Cities without sunlight get dark very quickly, and almost as soon as the sky is a little gray, it has already dimmed.

By the time we got back, there were already two people standing at the gate, and they were already planning to close, and the two of us were back inside at the last minute.

The doors were closed, and they were cut off from the outside world.

The people here are all on patrol, listening to the footsteps that pass by from time to time, the people around me are already asleep, but I can't sleep at all.

I suddenly have a little doubt about my approach now, I just went to find Shen Tianqing's relatives, what about after I found it? I also need to fight my way out of the zombies so that I can leave the city safely, and if I succeed, I'll be a hero, and I can leave the city completely. But if you leave, everything that happens here has nothing to do with me, so what's the point?

I'm out, those people in the central base still won't stop raising zombies, and the rest of the people in this city will still live in dire straits, and they will still be isolated from the outside world......

I had never been so indecisive when I was haunted before, except for the people I had been with for a long time, I didn't care about the lives of other people I had met, but now I cared about the lives of strangers who survived here......

But no matter how indecisive I am, I still want to find it, I can't break my promise in front of Shen Tianqing, if possible, I want to rescue all the people here......

Now the city is very dark, the whole world is also silent, before the zombies broke out, I remember I read the weather forecast, said that it will snow for the next few days, but now it will not even snow, the world seems to have changed.

I thought of the person who was able to control the zombies in the first place, and also thought of the agreement between us, is it possible to complete that agreement, and the zombies here will be gone?

But I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill that promise in my life......

What a difficult choice......

I didn't sleep well all night, and the people here woke up early the next morning, although they don't have to go to work now, they don't have to work, but because there are more zombies here, everyone has a short sleep time, and they are afraid that they will miss something.

In the morning, when I was about to leave here, Zheng Gang brought me a small pickle and a bowl of porridge.

Looking at the fresh pickles, it was as if I had returned to the normal world in an instant.

Zheng Gang said, "It seems that you have made up your mind to leave here, but eat breakfast before leaving." We don't have much rice here, it's good to eat it, otherwise someone will always remember, and this little pickle, which we pickled these days, those dishes are no longer enough, pickled into pickles and eaten for a long time, these things are relatively simple, you don't dislike it. ”

I smiled, "How could I be disgusted." ”

"It's good if you don't dislike it, when you first came yesterday yesterday, I felt that you should have lived a rich life before, and your usual food, clothing and housing must be much better than now, and I'm worried that you won't get used to it." Zheng Gang said.

"I'm not that pretentious." After I said a word, I was not polite, and began to eat.

After a night, I was really a little hungry, and this little pickle was also relatively refreshing, and it felt surprisingly good to eat.

But after eating a few bites, I suddenly found that Zheng Gang was staring at me all the time, and I was a little uncomfortable.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" I couldn't eat it either, so I just put it down and looked at him and said.

Zheng Gang was slightly stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Then I will also say directly, how dangerous it is outside, you should know when you come, I don't recommend you to go outside as a woman." Do you have any ideas to stay here? I'm the boss here, and I can cover you. I'm not old now, I don't have a wife or children, and I haven't had a girlfriend before, if you stay, I will definitely treat you well, as long as I am alive here, I will definitely keep you safe, I have never liked a girl so much, but the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others, you were very special and attractive. ”

When I heard him say this, I suddenly wanted to laugh, I touched my face, and suddenly I felt that sometimes it is not a good thing to be good-looking.

"I'm already a mom of a child." I say.

Although that child has not yet been born...... It's still waiting for me to pick it up in the deepest part of hell.

Hearing me say this, Zheng Gang's face was dumbfounded, and he looked at me in disbelief: "How is this possible?" Are you rejecting me? ”

"I'm married, and now the child is a year old, and they're still waiting for me, so you, let's find someone else." I smiled, not wanting to dwell too much on him.

After Zheng Gang heard this, his face suddenly darkened, but he still smiled and said, "That's it......"

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, I won't accept these things for the time being, I'm leaving." I drank the bowl of porridge in a few sips, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Zheng Gang suddenly stopped me, he looked around, and then took out a small bag from behind him: "Here are some food I prepared, you can bring it, now the food is so difficult to find, you can keep it and eat." ”

Looking at what he had prepared, I politely declined.

Food is precious to them, and if I want to get out of here, I can leave at any time, it's much easier for me to find things than they are, and on the road, the less food I can eat, the better, so that I can spend most of my time looking for them.

"By the way, that white and innocent young man is more good at mechanism design, you can ask him if there is anything different, he was brought by the way I met yesterday, I hope he will be helpful to you." I say.

"I see." Zheng Gang didn't say anything more, and just watched me leave.

Ming Qi also looked at me at the door, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he didn't follow me stubbornly anymore.

After saying goodbye to them, I drove away.

I let out a deep breath, where should I start looking now?

And those people in the central base, where can they move to? Is there a safer place?

If I just look for it, I guess I won't be able to find it in a few days, after all, this city has a high population density and a lot of buildings, and ghosts in places where there are zombies don't dare to come out rashly, and it's a bit troublesome to find it with my ability alone.
