Volume 2 Looking at the Northeast [59] See the old man again
Xiao Yang was not interested in the dead man's head, he slapped it with a knife, he looked at Nantes under the car, and his eyes were much gentler.
From the bottom of his heart, Nantes's growth speed is very fast, fast beyond his imagination, not afraid of hardship, not admitting defeat, and has a ruthlessness.
"This is probably related to Lao Ma's education and the experience of the end times, but this alone is not enough!" He got out of the jeep with a few quick steps, got to his feet, and knocked the rickety boy to the ground with his knees.
"You just scolded me?" Uncle Xiao domineeringly stuck a knife next to Nantes's ear, and the splash of mud smeared the kid's face.
Nantes's adrenaline effect had just been exerted, and it was just when the pain was terrible, and he was attacked by this madman, and he had no power to resist.
However, he still bowed his head very stubbornly: "Scolded!" It's you who scolds! Fuck your uncle! ”
"Haha, hard bones, it's good, you can rest." Xiao Yang smashed down with a punch and directly knocked Nantes unconscious, maybe Nantes should have fainted, but he just held on to this punch.
Xiao Yang picked up a puddle of mud and threw it into the back seat of the jeep without pity, only then did he find that Nantes still had the broken backpack hooked in his hand.
He shook his head: "This kid really values that bit of belongings, a typical miser." ”
After this battle, he finally decided to take him to Nanliu.
According to his later recollections, he probably always felt that Nantes had shortcomings, so he tried his best to temper it along the way, so that he could become a big prince after seeing Nanliu, and he couldn't scold and have too much consideration.
Nantes made a revisit to the old place in the bumps of the jeep, and if he was awake, he would definitely recall the scenery of Battery Hill, but now Battery Hill is bare and has become a scorched earth.
The fires in the vicinity continued for a week, until a heavy downpour of rain had completely extinguished the embers.
In the evening, the jeep stopped at the entrance of the dungeon, which was the elevator entrance that Liu Dazhi had previously closed with a reinforced concrete cover. Liu Dazhi and the caravan look like each other, they usually don't trade much, and the opportunities to meet each other are even rarer, so he only knows this one entrance.
But after pressing the elevator button from here, there was no response, which made him very shameless, and this was the first time that he couldn't even get in the door.
For this door, Nantes has been a little more than Xiao Yang, he has woken up from a coma, and after a deep hibernation, his body is repairing itself at a terrifying speed.
In just 5 hours, in addition to the cracks in the superficial skin, all the muscle and joint injuries have been stopped and recovered.
"I gave Liu Dazhi a nickname, called Lao Wang Ba, I think it's very appropriate." Nantes lay in the back seat and made a lazy sound, startling Xiao Yang, who was immersed in studying the elevator button.
"This thing seems to be broken...... Xiao Yang was lacking in confidence, he continued to lower his head and fiddle with the stone pillar, as if he was born with a diaphragm on technological things.
"It's not broken, it's just closed from the inside by Liu Dazhi, there are several layers, I remember that this cement cover may be several meters thick, and it can't be opened from the outside." Nantes's voice was a little cold, and he didn't want to give this guy a good look, because there was still a faint pain in his nose.
"Then what is the whole ......" Xiao Yang finally raised his head, looking dazed.
"Are you sure Minami stayed in the dungeon?"
"I'm not sure, he said he was going, he might have changed his mind halfway, or he might have gone another way." Xiao Yang touched his nose again.
"You don't have a communications device? Give us a call? ”
"No, I have a satellite jammer in my car, and I can't get any signal."
"That's no way, let's spend the night on the spot, and wait until dawn."
Nantes lay there not wanting to move at all, and it was a pang of relief to see this self-righteous fellow deflated.
Xiao Yang also returned to the driver's seat, put the seat flat, and lay on his back looking at the starry sky.
It has to be said that since the collapse of the human urban system, it took only three months for the earth to restore the atmospheric ecosystem, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, the stars are bright at night, and the deep night sky is dizzying.
Nantes straightened her tired waist and asked, "I say, are you just sleeping in the wilderness?" Don't go to make a fire? ”
Xiao Yang pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and said without replying: "What? I haven't seen your father yet, so I think I'm a grandfather? Do you still arouse me? ”
Nantes sneered: "I'm afraid of your old arms and legs, I can't stand it all night." ”
"Hmph, Uncle Ben has been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never lit a fire when camping at night!"
"You don't make a fire in the cold winter?"
"Don't give birth! Naturally, there are others to take care of such trivial matters. ”
"Hey, it's a coincidence, so am I, I've been a captain for so many years, and I've never taken care of a fire, so naturally someone else cares about this kind of trivial matter." Nantes continued his words and slammed them back.
Now it's okay, neither of the two people moves, so they hold back to see who can't survive first.
In autumn, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, especially in the northeast, and it can be very cold in the second half of the night. Neither of them was asleep, but one snorted louder than the other.
Xiao Yang also deliberately wrapped his leather trench coat very hard, Nantes was a little miserable, his clothes had long been torn into strips in the previous battle, and he was immoral when he stood up and walked, and now he couldn't keep out the cold.
Finally, the kid couldn't stand it anymore and muttered to get up, but he was a chicken thief, so he deliberately chose to make a fire on the cement cover at the entrance of the elevator in the dungeon.
The ground is dry, there are walls on three sides, and it is a good place to make a fire, but it is far away from the car......
Nantes pulled some charcoal and unburned tree trunks from the ashes nearby, split them with a sword, and crushed the dry parts of the inside into thin strips.
When he did all this, Xiao Yang squinted and peeked, wanting to watch this kid deflated: "This place was first burned by fire, and there was not much wood left, and it rained heavily for two days, and the ground was full of wet mud, can you still light a fire?" ”
But Nantes was stunned, because he had a bullet in his backpack, so he dismantled the warhead, poured out the gunpowder, put it on the broken sticks, and then took out the dreadnought lion lighter, and the dry sticks were immediately lit.
As the flame grew larger, the charcoal was dried and ignited, and it soon became a perfect bonfire.
Nantes deliberately yawned loudly and comfortably, with a rather satisfied expression.
Xiao Yang couldn't lie down here, although the saddle was relatively soft and comfortable, but the car was cold, his jeep didn't even have a roof, neither wind nor cold, and the air conditioning system was also dismantled when it was renovated.
"This horse struggles, it's too good to do things, the air conditioner is good, why dismantle it!" Xiao Yang did it, set the car on fire, and kept it on the edge of the bonfire.
He jumped out of the car, brazenly sat down next to Nantes, and stabbed him in the leg with his elbow: "The boy is good at work, and he can still light a fire." ”
"You're not bad, you're thick-skinned enough." Nantes removed his leg and left him with the back of his head: "Check the firewood again, these are not enough to burn." ”
"I'll just bake it for a while......"
"Damn, why are you so lazy? How can you be so dead and begging for nothing! ”
Xiao Yang sat cross-legged by the fire: "Who died in vain!" You don't see I'm busy, you go and get back quickly, maybe I can stay a little. ”
Nantes then noticed that he was holding a box of canned food for military use, and he didn't know when the cans were produced.
"Na, when you go out, tolerate each other, don't be like a child." Xiao Yang was nagging while opening the can, looking old-fashioned.
Nantes immediately got his cheeky true biography: "Uncle Xiao is mighty, and he still hides canned food, is there anything else?" Take out another one, this one is not enough for the two of us. ”
"Hey, hey, I said, you pick up firewood, don't grab it here, you're delaying me to open the can......"
The two of them soon became entangled and rolled into a ball, but luckily there was no juice in this old-fashioned canned luncheon meat, otherwise the stumble would have run clean up long ago.
Xiao Yang also deliberately let go, and Nantes grabbed to eat one bite at a time, and suddenly Nantes didn't move, with a solemn expression. His eyes unmistakably conveyed the message: "Someone is coming, difficult to deal with." ”
Xiao Yang casually threw the last piece of meat into his mouth, chewing it and wanting to mock his bluff, but suddenly he also froze.
Because a few dozen meters behind him, a dead branch was trampled off, but a faint sound reached his ears like an electric wave.
He straightened up and slowly lowered his body, holding the handle of the "melon chopping" knife with one hand.
Nantes's frozen body slowly moved, and it also collapsed as if it was completely defenseless, but the action was to bend down and pick up a piece of roasted firewood and throw it into the fire.
The light of the fire gradually lit up, illuminating the surrounding space of more than 10 meters, and the wind in the field blew directionlessly, and the flames fell from side to side, making the surrounding space seem to be distorted.
Xiao Yang felt that there was something evil, mutants rarely attacked at night, and even if they attacked humans, they would not make the atmosphere so solemn, those simple-minded and nervous guys would only scream and charge, and rush over to kill.
It would be very awkward for Uncle Xiao to deal with this kind of person who only wanders around the periphery and constantly engages in terrorist offensives. So he simply grabbed the knife and walked out, shouting into the darkness: "Bah! What kind of demons and monsters delay the uncle to sleep, hurry up and come out and die! ”
Nantes chuckled, Xiao Yang's demons and monsters were used quite appropriately, it really wasn't until these two people pinched up, who could win, maybe Uncle Xiao had a better chance of winning.
He picked up a piece of burnt firewood and shook it in front of him: "Long time no see, Captain Liao!" It's me, Nantes! We...... ...... seen before"
Nantes was a little embarrassed, because the person in front of him was Liao Wei, the former captain of the dungeon city management, who had a misunderstanding when he retreated from the beach, and the "volcano" also shot him.
"Yes, remember." Liao Wei walked out of the dark place, but he was very vigilant and bypassed Xiao Yang and walked towards Nante.
Nantes watched him get closer and closer, but she was very nervous, and instead moved closer to Xiao Yang.
The atmosphere was a little weird, Liao Wei occupied the bonfire, and the original two stood on the edge of darkness instead.
"Stinky boy, do you know him?"
"Yes, but there is a misunderstanding."
"If there is a misunderstanding, what are you afraid of, communicate to solve the problem." Xiao Yang put the knife on his shoulder, swaggered over, and took out another can in his hand: "Brother, are you hungry?" Eat, eat. ”
"I'll go! You still have food ......" Nantes's eyes widened, and she involuntarily followed, but she kept half a body behind Xiao Yang, and she looked like she was about to run at any time.
Liao Wei, who was sitting in front of the fire, was covered with fine scales, and all that remained of his clothes was a pair of pants and a tattered scarf tied in a dead knot around his neck. Nantes still likes to wear glasses, maybe myopia, but now he doesn't know where to throw them.
Liao Wei took the canned box, and without using tools, he directly broke the iron sheet on the outside with his hands, but Xiao Yang was stunned, and involuntarily reassessed the opponent's combat power.
Liao Wei may have been so hungry that he swallowed the can in three or two bites, and Nantes didn't even see him chewing. recalled something about him in his mind, and a girl's voice and smile appeared: "Liao Wei, it's a snake, it's poisonous!" ”
He quietly took a step back and asked without words, "You, is your arm okay?" ”
As soon as she said this, Nantes wanted to give herself a big mouth. The other party is obviously acting without hindrance, which means that it is already good, but he wants to mention this pot, isn't this reawakening hatred?
Liao Wei sneered: "Thanks to you, I am not crippled." Sit down, sit down and talk. ”
It's obviously Nantes who started the fire, but now Liao Wei is a master. But don't blame him, this place was originally the sphere of influence of their dungeon.
Xiao Yang sat down with a big grin, and Nantes also sat down, smiling cheekily: "You are really well, I am relieved to see that you are fine." It's not easy for you to get out of the mutant pile and still survive. ”
"Haha, I didn't just kill from the mutant pile, and I escaped from under your noses. Canned food is good, is there anything else? The first sentence is said to the sky, and the latter sentence is said to Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang laughed: "Hero! Hero! I've heard of you, but I didn't expect it to be so strong! ”
He is not a fool, at this time, he took out the canned food, wouldn't it be that the meat bun beat the dog and had no return, so he deliberately avoided this topic.
That Liao Wei is also a good person, and he glanced up at him: "I've seen your face, it's too scary, I'm impressed!" Traveling to the caravan, right? ”
"Then there are no outsiders, brother, I see you dressed like this, is your dungeon in trouble?" Xiao Yang hurriedly hit the snake with a stick, and he was almost self-righteous.
"Huh?" Liao Wei frowned and looked at Nantes.
Nantes hurriedly came out to make up for the introduction he hadn't had time to make: "Uncle Xiao, to put it simply, it was Captain Liao who sent us back to the Dreadnought Regiment, but there were some moths on the road, we didn't make a deal, and we were besieged and killed by more than 100,000 mutants." ”
"Later, we tried to find a way to break through, but Captain Liao was accidentally injured by the people of the Dreadnought Regiment again, and the situation was critical, and we were in a hurry to return to the base for treatment, so we were separated from Captain Liao."
"Oh yes, the closure of the dungeon has nothing to do with Captain Liao, he is also a victim, and it seems that he has not been able to go back yet."
Nantes introduced this experience as briefly as possible, and Xiao Yang realized that he had indeed misunderstood before, and he was bloodied for the dungeon.
"Sure enough, we misunderstood my brother, we came to the dungeon, but we found that the entrance was closed, and it was too late, so we had to camp here. Are you here, passing by? Xiao Yang deliberately said it tactfully, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Liao Wei is obviously unwilling to be abandoned, and has been trying to return to the dungeon.
Liao Wei shook his head: "After you shameless pests left the beach, the mutants chasing after the fire quickly chased them into the shelling ruins. The place was full of carrion, and many mutants and mutated animals were scattered into it to feed, and I had nowhere to run but to jump into the sea. ”
He recounted the life of these days, which was even more sad than that of a wild man, because of the influence of the virus, many animals have become extremely intelligent and strong, hunting often empty-handed, and always being chased and harassed by mutants, with little rest, but he has never given up returning to human society, so he often wanders around here.
This is the night out of the hunt, found the fire, only to hurry over to see, originally thought that the entrance to the dungeon restarted, but I didn't expect it to be just two outsiders who also couldn't enter.
He didn't tell a few words untruthfully, and as soon as the conversation changed, he asked about Nantes: "Didn't you flee back?" Why did you run back again? Haven't worn your tin this time? ”
Nantes smiled bitterly: "I'm also talking about a long story, to sum it up, it's retribution......"
Nantes probably said a few words, it was nothing more than receiving "false information" from Liu Dazhi, and he met Xiao Yang on the way, so the two went together.
When Liao Weizhi heard this, he found that it really had something to do with the previous experience in the dungeon, so he also echoed: "Ah, good and evil are rewarded, what about you?" Xiao Daxia? Why did you come to the dungeon? And with such delicious canned food! ”
Xiao Yang snorted: "We are a traveling caravan, so we are naturally here to do business." ”
Liao Wei's face was full of disbelief, he saw that Nantes was in a trance, and seemed to have something to ask, so he immediately grasped Nantes's psychology: "You buddy is very good at pretending to be stupid, let's have some more canned food, Liu Feifei is still hungry!" ”
Nantes let out an "ah" and stood up suddenly: "She's still alive?" Great, where is she? ”
"Canned, canned!"
"Oh, oh, Xiao Daxia, hurry up, hurry up, turn into a can and come out......" Nantes was so excited that she was a little incoherent, completely unaware of Xiao Yang's ugly face.
"What's going on with Liu Feifei? Liu Dazhi's pearl in the palm of his hand, the famous lady in the Northeast, was also thrown into the wild by you? Xiao Yang couldn't hold a knife on Nantes' neck in front of outsiders, so he had to give him face, went back to the car and took two boxes of canned food, and threw them into Nantes's arms together.
Nantes got the two cans and smiled: "Captain Liao, let's go?" ”
Liao Wei's eyes stared at him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Nantes flipped the can in her hand: "Of course I'm going to see Liu Feifei!" ”
