Chapter Ninety-Three: Under the Fatal Bend
The nights close to the mountains are cool, even a little chilly. After smoking two cigarettes in succession, Wang Hai tightened his coat, then took a flashlight at the service hall, and said, "This guy is getting more and more excessive, and he went to the tuba for more than ten minutes." ”
Ye Biao also frowned slightly, the task of being on duty at night is very important, there is no room for sloppiness, and arranging three people is afraid that someone will be difficult to survive the long night, distracted, lazy, dozing off or something. The three of them can at least take care of each other, and they can find out in time if they are attacked, even if they are attacked by other survivors, they will not be wiped out in silence.
Kaifeng is an inert young man, Ye Biao knows this, when searching for supplies in the past, not only did he contribute less, but he would also secretly hide some things. Although Ye Biao turned a blind eye, this time, he felt that if he didn't make it clear, he would really be a little unbearable.
"You watch first, I'll take a look." The good personal cultivation before the end of the day has long been wiped out by the experience of the past few months, Ye Biao is now inexplicably angry in his heart, if he sees Kaifeng dozing in it, he will definitely teach him a lesson.
After Ye Biao got off the bus, he also used a flashlight to shine on the surrounding environment, which was still quiet and terrifying. He didn't stop, but walked quickly into the gas station service hall. It had been abandoned for months and had an unpleasant musty smell. In addition to this, there is an alternative filth. Ye Biao covered his nose and glanced at the situation in the service hall, and found traces of convenience in opening the seal on the ground.
"This guy ......" Ye Biao shook his head, he was originally a more sensitive person, and besides, his perception of the environment was also very comparable. In the evening, he came to the service hall of the gas station, and although the furnishings were messy, the general impression was still there.
After opening the seal, he didn't return to the bus in time, and in such a dark environment, it was impossible to hide somewhere and doze off. You must know that people who are used to being lazy will never wronged themselves. Ye Biao alertly pulled out the steel pipe he carried with him, put his steps to the lightest, and walked back step by step.
There was not a single sound in the service hall of the gas station, and even the sound of the soles of shoes stepping on uneven objects was carefully blocked by him. Stillness represents something terrible hidden in the dark. If Kaifeng was just hiding somewhere, it would never have been possible to not even have a sound.
Finally, Ye Biao found some subtle traces in the narrow aisle. The sand and dust on the ground, dragging an unusual trajectory. The entire aisle was suffocatingly dark, despite the light of a flashlight. Because of the dampness, the walls are dissatisfied with the black and green lines, which feels like being in a horror movie from the 80s of the last century.
"That's not right!" When Ye Biao saw the room at the end, the door that was trembling slightly in the breeze, his mind felt like he had been shocked, and he immediately turned around and ran back.
Wang Hai, who was bored on the top of the bus, saw Ye Biaofeng running out like a wind, flashlight waving in the dark. "Brother Biao, what's wrong! Where is he? Seeing Ye Biao like this, Wang Hai is not a stupid person, and he knows that something must have happened.
Ye Biao didn't answer him, but ran to the side of the bus and slapped the car with a bang. "Wake up, everyone, there's a situation!" After three or four calls in succession, there was movement in the bus.
The first to get off the bus were Wang Ying and Zhang Zhao, and then Guo Rong and others also got out of the car. Everyone had flashlights in their hands and shook their beams around vigilantly.
"What's going on?" Seeing Ye Biao with a pale face, Wang Ying hurriedly asked, in his impression, Ye Biao was a relatively calm person, even after he had fought his way out of the corpses in Wuhe Town, he had never seen Ye Biao have such a look.
After Ye Biao simply said the matter in the shortest sentences, everyone had a general understanding of the situation. The seriousness of the situation is not because a large number of zombies were found, but because a good team member disappeared for no reason. To be able to stay with a group of survivors who have order, in the last days, in the extremely lucky. At least you don't have to worry about being plotted by your own people anytime and anywhere. Compared to those fickle and predatory teams, at least everyone can retain some of the dignity of being a human being before the end of the world. Although many people have not really been exposed to that kind of environment, as people who have been in society for many years, they still know this truth.
Zhang Zhao's team is as weak as ants in the last days, but it is a rare rule. As long as it is a person with a normal brain, there is absolutely no reason to leave quietly. In other words, Kaifeng's disappearance did not leave by himself.
"Will zombies still kidnap people?" Guo Rong, who was still in a state of confusion, muttered for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
Everyone woke up in a commotion, including the sleepy Langchen, who sat in the car, looking at the people outside the car, without much expression. No zombie attacks were found, and most of the people still returned to the car to wait for news, but a few more people were arranged around to be on guard. Zhang Zhao and Wang Ying took four or five people into the service hall of the gas station.
"You see, the marks on the ground seem to have been dragged away." Taking Zhang Zhao and them to the aisle, Ye Biao pointed to the two obvious traces on the ground. Donna squatted on the ground, carefully brushed away the dust with the dagger in her hand, and then dipped her fingers in a tiny bit, like a detective investigating the scene of a crime in a police movie, and sniffed it in front of her nose.
"It's not zombie blood, it's human." Donna's tone was unusually calm. In her opinion, it is common for humans to hurt each other in the last days, and if it is the blood of zombies, that is what can move her. After all, a zombie who did not kill the living creature on the spot, but dragged him away, in the current cognition, there is no such situation.
Zhang Zhao still admires Donna's this, no matter what the situation, she can stay organized. No one present could do it, including Wang Ying, who didn't frown when he killed Huang Zi. Others may not know that Zhang Zhao's little heart is beating wildly now. What he worries about every day still happens, and he still has a fluke mentality, thinking that if he encounters such a survivor, he will avoid it. But in reality, there are many things that you want to avoid, but you will take the initiative to come to the door.
"Who exactly got Kaifeng away, and for what purpose, we don't know now, but one thing is for sure, as early as when we arrived here, we were targeted." Wang Ying's face was gloomy and ugly. I had just checked inside and outside the house, and I didn't find any clues other than this passageway.
If it was just a passing survivor with its own team, no matter how many people there were, it would be impossible to capture Kaifeng without alarming the others. Because Zhang Zhao and the others came, they came by car, and the other party didn't know how many people were in the car. There is only one possibility, and that is that the other party has already set their sights on them when they come here. After knowing the number of people on the other side, they did not rush into action, but waited for such a great opportunity.
"Whatever the purpose, it's not going to be good, don't they know that if they capture one of us, it won't take us too long to find out?" Guo Rongdao.
Zhang Zhao's mind was tumbling, and he sighed and said, "Maybe they just want to use this method to make us panic in our hearts." ”
Looking for Kaifeng to no avail, everyone returned to the car, the current situation is really embarrassing, a person is missing now, in the case of difficult to know the life and death of the other party, as the leader of the team, Wang Ying is difficult to say, let everyone go. If you give up like this now, it's hard to guarantee what everyone will think in their hearts, and the common advance and retreat that we said at the beginning will become a handle for those who do good things. And if you don't hit the road right now, you're putting the whole team in danger. The enemy is in the dark and in the open, and there is a great deal of passivity in this matter. No one knows if the people hiding in the dark are a group of hungry survivors or ferocious jackals.
If Kaifeng was attacked by zombies, it would be okay to be killed, but the current situation is missing and his whereabouts are unknown. So the question is, is it to find? Or don't look for it?
"I'll tell you what I think now, everyone is also in the current situation, and the most important question at the moment is whether we stay until we find Kaifeng, or go on the road immediately." Wang Ying asked.
Lao Wang is now sitting next to Zhang Zhao, and when he returned to the car just now, his position has changed, everyone is frightened, and no one cares about the details before. When Wang Ying finished saying this, Zhang Zhao heard Lao Wang sigh in a low voice. This old man, who has experienced a brutal war, certainly knows the importance of his teammates. But is the current world still the original world? Even in the most cruel enemies, some rules and humanity will be preserved. What about the last days? Are there really any rules?
Zhang Zhao probably understood the meaning of Lao Wang's sigh, although Wang Ying was an excellent leader most of the time, he was bold and careful, righteous, full of team spirit, and he could be regarded as selfless, and he could handle many things calmly and clearly. He had almost all the advantages, but he couldn't tell the difference. If his current spirit is placed before the end of the world, it is undoubtedly very good. But now is the end of the world, the human race of the last days, aside from other factors, the most important thing is to live. If someone chooses to die, it can only explain one situation, that is, life is better than death.
Often those good advantages, at some point, will turn into disadvantages. If it is according to Zhang Zhao's idea, regardless of Kaifeng's life or death now, everyone should immediately go on the road, leaving home, a place full of a sense of crisis. But it is precisely because of Wang Ying's democracy that at this time when his eyebrows are burning, he is actually voting. Sometimes, rules can really kill people.
Since it is democratic, there will be different voices, some people say that they want to stay until they find Kaifeng, they want to see people in life, and they want to see corpses in death. As if he wanted to witness what Wang Ying said at the beginning, if he didn't look for it, if something happened to other people in the future, would he be abandoned. It's easy to motivate others with this kind of emotion, and no one can guarantee that they will be successful along the way. In this situation where everyone is at risk, someone puts forward this idea, and someone responds.
Some people feel that they should leave immediately, after all, it is not a wise decision to put dozens of people in danger at the same time. Therefore, the two sides had a heated argument that lasted for more than ten minutes.
Zhang Zhao seemed to hear Guo Rong, who was usually nervous, swearing: ", is he a relative of your family?" This BB has been running for dozens of miles long ago. ”
Wang Ying felt that it would be impossible to continue arguing like this, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, the people who agree to stay and continue to look for it raise their hands to vote." ”
"One, two...... Seven, eight, eight people agreed, then the rest agreed to go. Wang Ying said.
Zhang Zhao frowned, looked at the faint light and shadow swaying in the darkness outside the car window, and said inexplicably: "Damn, I can't leave now if I want to." ”
