Chapter Twenty-Three: Brother Zhen Runs Away

After a frenzied run, Brother Zhen stopped. He gasped and looked back, he couldn't see the figure anymore, but he could still see the spaceship.

He looked around, and it was empty, except for the occasional wind and the sound of dry grass. A sense of horror struck him: "Shouldn't I go back?" ……”

He thought about it, and was going to go back, but a sudden sadness welled up in his heart. After he thought of that incident, the people in the dungeon, regardless of adults and children, ignored him, and a feeling of loneliness arose.

"Why should I go back?" He thought, "Do they care about me? ……”

Of course, his mother still cared about him, following him from time to time and nagging in his ear. However, the counterpart to this nagging is the indifference of others. This indifference hurt him deeply: "Why should I go back there? ”

He dismissed the idea of going back, and began wandering aimlessly until it began to get dark......

He panicked in his heart, and when he looked back, the shadow of the spaceship was long gone. Moreover, he walked around without a direction, and he couldn't figure out whether the spaceship should be in the direction behind him.

It was dark, and he was hungry, but he had nothing on him but the clothes he was wearing. The adults in the dungeon take too good care of them, they have food and drink, and they don't have to worry about it at all. Because they can't get out, and because they feel that humans can't go anywhere except for dungeons, they haven't taught them the skills to survive in the wild. This time, Brother Zhen didn't know what to find to fill his stomach.

Sixteen years old, when the body grows, is particularly prone to hunger. Brother Zhen couldn't find anything to eat, and recalled what he saw on the Internet, where weeds can also be eaten, so he grabbed the dead grass and stuffed it into his mouth. The withered grass was very hard, and he chewed it desperately, but he couldn't chew it or swallow it, so he could only spit it out.

Since he couldn't eat it, he thought he might just run a little longer, maybe he would be lucky enough to come across something he could eat. He ran as far as he could, and for a long time he saw nothing but dead grass. Finally, when it was dark and the road was unfamiliar, and there was no lighting tools, he stepped into a small ditch and fell down at once.

He rubbed his sore feet and neck, and it was fine, but he twisted it. He was tired and hungry, and finally he couldn't help but lie down, holding his stomach in his hands, and bowing on the ground to rest.

He lay with his eyes closed, and seemed to think of nothing, and gradually passed away...... In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice, and when he was nervous, he quickly opened his eyes.

He saw a bonfire burning four or five paces away from him, and a man was sitting on the ground by the fire.

"Is that you?" The flickering light of the fire illuminated the man's face, and he could see who the man was: "Zheng ......"

"It's me!" Zheng Xiaojie said kindly: "Hungry, come and eat something." ”

He twisted his face to the side and ignored her.

"Don't be angry, Brother Zhen!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "Sit down, eat these, and then talk about it after eating, okay?" ”

Brother Zhen looked at what she was holding, it was a piece of artificial meat and some compressed biscuits. He licked his lips and wanted to stick to it, but his stomach growled......

"Why are you following me?" He faltered.

"Let's eat first!" Zheng Xiaojie smiled and stuffed things to him.

Zheng Xiaojie did intentionally follow Brother Zhen, and when Brother Zhen ran away like crazy and everyone else walked towards the cemetery of the Eternal Land, she didn't move. She stood next to the spaceship, kept looking at Brother Zhen who was running farther and farther away, and then slowly walked in the direction he ran away, and no one paid attention to her.

She really lacks a presence. In the past, when she was in the couple's fortress, Yi Ru, Lin Lin and her, she was always the least noticed. After Yi Ru died in battle, she and Lin Lin have been managing their children in the research center of the Academy of Sciences.

With Lin Lin, who has a lively personality, in front of her, she is still not very noticed. Until Sister Zhen took them to attack the Jones, as a result, Sister Zhen, Ji Yutong, and Emily were cloned into little girls by the Jones, and Lin Lin died again. When she returned to the dungeon alone with Sister Zhen and the three people who had been made smaller, someone noticed her a little.

Maybe it's a personality relationship, but after that, her sense of existence gradually faded away. But since letting her take Brother Zhen with her, her sense of existence seems to have regained somewhat. It's a pity that more than two years ago, she no longer dared to take Brother Zhen, and her sense of existence dimmed again. Just like coming to the Eternal Land this time, not to mention the relationship with Shu Yunpeng, she used to be close to Yi Ru like sisters, she should also be concerned, but no one paid attention to her.

She didn't care about this, so she silently followed behind others without saying a word. But when she saw Brother Zhen running away and no one was particularly worried, she was not at ease.

For Brother Zhen, her feelings are very complicated. Brother Zhen took a lot of it with her when she was a child, and watched him grow up from a nursing child. Since she was a child, she has more or less a little bit of mother-to-child warmth, which is why she accepted the task of taking care of Brother Zhen when many people thought it was difficult to take care of Brother Zhen.

It's a pity that something like that happened, which she absolutely can't accept. Anyway, she was one of the first three girls to meet Shu Yunpeng, and she was also one of the first people to have that kind of relationship with him. Brother Zhen is Brother Shu's son, and she should be Brother Shu's woman, a fourteen-year-old child, who actually wants to ...... Could she not avoid him?

However, although she no longer takes care of Brother Zhen, and even deliberately avoids Brother Zhen, she is still a little reluctant in her heart. Especially when she saw that Brother Zhen was discriminated against and no one was willing to pay attention, she still felt distressed inexplicably.

Maybe it's because of this indescribable complicated mood, although she walked away, she was still paying attention to Brother Zhen secretly. It can even be said that she actually cares about him more than his mother, Sister Zhen. She knew him too well to know that the kid was crazy.

He didn't know where he would run, so she quietly followed him.

She looked at Brother Zhen quietly, watched him gobble up everything, and then said, "After eating, we'll go home after a while." ”

"I'm not going back!" Brother Zhen said, "I can live on my own!" ”

"Don't be pushy!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "You see that you have only been running out for half a day, and you are about to starve yourself, how can you live?" ”

"There is no endless road, I always have a way to support myself!"

"Do you know how to get food in the wild?" Zheng Xiaojie asked: "Do you still know how to save yourself in case of danger?" ”

Brother Zhen couldn't answer, he really hadn't learned this.

"Alright, let's go home with me!" Seeing that Brother Zhen was speechless, Zheng Xiaojie took the opportunity to say: "Survival in the wild is a science, you haven't learned it, you won't be able to hold on in a few days!" ”

"Have you studied?"

"Of course I did!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "Your mother taught me." ”

Everything about Zheng Xiaojie can be said to be given by Sister Zhen. She and Lin Lin were both orphans, and Sister Zhen adopted them. In the agglomeration, the living environment is extremely harsh, and it is really difficult to survive without some skills. When they were very young, Sister Zhen taught them survival skills, and she was very strict.

So, even if you live in a dungeon and there is no danger, this habit that you have developed since childhood has not changed. For example, when you go out, you always bring weapons, dry food, water, and a long rope if necessary. I took a spaceship to the Eternal Land, so I didn't need to bring anything, but Zheng Xiaojie still brought it all. The food she gave to Brother Zhen was what she brought with her.

After listening to Zheng Xiaojie's words, Brother Zhen didn't say anything. But when Zheng Xiaojie asked him to go back with her again, he still refused.

"Why are you disobedient, boy?" Seeing that Brother Zhen refused to leave, Zheng Xiaojie was a little anxious: "Do you think it's fun in the wild?" There is no one in this world except in the dungeon, and the wild animals are almost dead, where do you find food? If you don't have anything to eat, you won't be dead in three days! ”

"You make me think again," Brother Zhen said.

"Okay!" Zheng Xiaojie looked at the time, it was almost midnight, and it was indeed not appropriate to rush back so late. So she promised to spend the night by this campfire tonight, and to go back tomorrow when it was dawn: "Go to bed now!" ”

Brother Zhen lay down on the ground and fell asleep. Zheng Xiaojie looked at him for a while, felt that he had fallen asleep, and lay down herself. Although the catastrophe has disappeared, it is still not cold in the wild, so there is no need to worry about getting cold. Soon, she fell asleep.

In a daze, it seemed that someone was groping on her, and she quickly rolled over on the spot: "Who?" ”

She saw that Brother Zhen was looking at her, and he had her laser gun in his hand.

"Brother Zhen, what are you going to do?" She jumped up, "Why are you holding my gun?" ”

"Aunt Xiaojie," Brother Zhen smiled: "I don't plan to go back anyway, you can go back alone!" You're right, it's okay to run outside alone, it's not okay to be unprepared, just leave this gun to me! …… Oh, and this one, leave it to me, too! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the military dagger stuck in Zheng Xiaojie's calf.

"You're crazy!" Zheng Xiaojie shouted: "I told you so much, you should be a deaf ear?" If you run far away and don't have time to get back to the dungeon, you're going to starve to death, you know? ”

"I won't go back even if I eat grass!" Brother Zhen said: "You can keep the knife, I don't want it!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left. In the morning light, his back really looks a bit like an adult.

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Xiaojie gradually calmed down: "Do you think it's enough to have a gun and a knife?" ”

Hearing this, Brother Zhen stopped: "What else do you want?" ”

"Will you fight?"

"Who wouldn't fight!" Brother Zhen thought it was funny: "Those people in the dungeon are afraid of me!" ”

"Those children are afraid of you, they are all younger than you, what is it to beat them!" Zheng Xiaojie smiled: "Try to fight with me?" ”

"I'm not going to fight you!" Brother Zhen said, "You are a woman! ”

"Yes, I'm a woman, yes!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "If you can't even beat me, do you still want to go out?" …… Come on, I'll let you go if you win! ”

Brother Zhen hesitated, he really didn't want to fight Zheng Xiaojie. Not only because she is a woman, but also because the incident two years ago stimulated him too deeply, and it is inevitable that the fight will touch the other party's body.

"Why don't you do it yet?" Zheng Xiaojie saw that Brother Zhen hesitated, so she took the lead in untying the military dagger on her leg, and then began to undress again. Seeing that Zheng Xiaojie began to undress, Brother Zhen hurriedly shouted: "Don't take off your clothes!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie's hand stopped moving, and she blushed slightly. When it came to fighting, she didn't think about it carefully, but fortunately Brother Zhen called: "That's good, don't take off your clothes, just fight like this, come on!" ”

Brother Zhen was helpless, and he put the laser gun on the ground next to him. Before he could stand up straight, Zheng Xiaojie's fist had already reached his chest, and he was caught off guard. Immediately fell into a big fight. He couldn't help but want to stand up, but Zheng Xiaojie's foot kicked him in the thigh again. rolled on the spot, trying to dodge Zheng Xiaojie's barrage of attacks, but never succeeded......

Although he is very sturdy and half a head taller than Zheng Xiaojie, he has never been trained and does not know how to fight at all. As a result, not only did he not have the strength to fight back, but he also had no ability to parry, so he could only be beaten.

"How?" Seeing that he could only be beaten, Zheng Xiaojie stopped: "No! …… Alright, come back with me! ”

She said, picking up laser guns and sabers on the ground. She didn't expect that Brother Zhen, who was still lying on the ground and grinning in pain, took advantage of her bending down to pick up the gun, and when she was defenseless, she suddenly jumped up, hugged her two legs and pulled back, she fell to the ground all of a sudden, and almost fell to the ground and almost fell to the mud. Before she could react, Brother Zhen suddenly rode onto her back, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and pressed her to the ground.

"You've lost!" Brother Zhen rode on her back and said, "Admit defeat!" ”

"Not counting!" Zheng Xiaojie shouted: "You Laipi! …… Let go of me! ”

"I won't let go!" Brother Zhen grinned, but still pressed her tightly: "I can only release you if you admit defeat!" ”

"Alas!" Zheng Xiaojie was helpless. Although Brother Zhen is only seventeen years old, he already weighs more than 100 pounds. Although he didn't know how to fight, his arm strength was not small, and Zheng Xiaojie was pressed by him and couldn't move: "If there is a mother, there must be a son!" ……”

Sister Zhen is a good hand at surprise attacks, and often uses this to turn defeat into victory.
