Chapter 41: The Village Chief's Secret
The lights flickered in the room, and the low candle oil condensed into a huge shape on the tabletop. On the wall are several posters of movie and television stars, and a plaque with great ambitions. The whole room was filled with this strange smell.
"You guys are too ruthless, as long as I live, you won't give me a chance." Wu Jinming's tone when he said this sentence kept circling in Zhang Zhao's mind. This is a man who wants to survive, in a desperate situation, he will only speak the words.
At that time, Zhang Zhao thought that the two sides would definitely not be able to avoid conflict, and after Wu Jinming was rejected, even if he didn't mess up, it would make them unhappy. Unexpectedly, Wu Jinming, an old man, cried like a child. He said, I know I have to rely on myself, and I won't drag you down, you come to my house and see, I'm ready.
Zhang Zhao was soft-hearted, so he followed, if Wu Jinming had the ability to fight for a chance to survive, then maybe Zhang Zhao would give him this opportunity.
There was a crackling sound inside and outside, as well as Wu Jinming's broken thoughts, and after about ten minutes, I saw him carrying things into the living room with large bags and small bags. He didn't forget to pour Zhang Zhao a cup of tea, and then turned out the luggage, "Look, my luggage is ready, a change of clothes, food, money, and weapons." He held up a small sharp knife in his hand, triumphant.
In the baggage prepared by Wu Jinming, there was even a change of underwear and socks. Zhang Zhao shook his head secretly, he couldn't remember when and where he last changed his socks. Food and weapons are the two most important things for the last day survivors, and if conditions allow, you should also bring some medicines for daily use. As for the change of clothes, Zhang Zhao never even thought that he would need these.
Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Village Chief, are these things you prepared?" Let me tell you, if we don't have transportation, it is very likely that we will have to walk to the East China Sea Islands, and even if you have the strength to carry it, if you encounter zombies, these things will only become a burden. ”
Wu Jinming also realized his mistake, afraid that his mistake would make Zhang Zhao even more disgusted, he rubbed his hands and said: "Oh, these things are mine, I can't bear to lose them, I think I can bring more with me, maybe I can use it." ”
Zhang Zhao now wants to die, if it weren't for the people in this village, who are quite enthusiastic about them and have no other intentions, he wouldn't care so much. In Wu Jinming's consciousness, he has not fully accepted this cruel world. He stood up and said, "Village Chief, if you don't do this, early tomorrow morning, you go and organize the people who are willing to leave, and we will go together, but the premise is that we are not responsible for protecting your safety, whether it is encountering zombies or other dangers, you have to figure out your own way, do you think it's okay?" Come to us tomorrow if you can. ”
Staying is just a waste of time, Zhang Zhao is not a good person, in this environment where everyone is at risk, there is no more energy to consider everyone he meets.
Wu Jinming originally wanted to follow Zhang Zhao's team by himself, but now it seems that the other party will definitely not agree if this is the case. Now that Zhang Zhao has made it clear that he can organize people in the village to go together, it is at least a glimmer of life. When a crisis comes, human beings will show their selfish side, and forget the truth that there is great power in numbers.
Just as Zhang Zhao wanted to open the door and leave, suddenly there was a clanging sound from upstairs, accompanied by a low and strange voice. The experience along the way made Zhang Zhao immediately alert: "What voice? Is there anyone else upstairs in you? ”
"No, no one, maybe the family cat knocked over something." Wu Jinming's behavior was very unnatural.
The deep voice just now sounded like the roar of a zombie, but with a slight difference, it seemed to come from the throat. Although Zhang Zhao was suspicious, it was not easy to break it, so he went out with a sound.
Seeing Zhang Zhao walking away, Wu Jinming looked a little paralyzed, leaned against the door and slowly slipped to the ground, hiding his face and crying bitterly.
The night was very dark, it had only rained yesterday, and the temperature in the mountains was very low, so Zhang Zhao pulled up his collar and walked to the place where he was staying. When he arrived at the main road in the village, he saw Wu Chengcheng standing at the door of the camp.
"Wu Chengcheng? What are you doing here? Dangerous outside at night. Wu Chengcheng's family is also on this road, only twenty or thirty meters away from here. This not-so-lucky boy, whose family was bitten by zombies that night, survived by sleeping upstairs. In the future, this teenage boy will have to survive on his own.
From the eyes of this young man, he could see a trace of loneliness, and he greeted him and asked, "Uncle, did you see Wu Maomao when you went to the village chief's house?" ”
"Didn't you see it, isn't he the only one in the village chief's family?" Zhang Zhao grabbed him and smiled: "You go home and clean up, see what you have to bring, and go on the road with us tomorrow, and we will go to a safe place." ”
"Wu Maomao is the grandson of the village chief, and he is in the same class as me, and I haven't seen him since the incident that night, and the village chief won't let me go to play with him." Wu Chengcheng didn't seem to hear Zhang Zhao's words, and was still thinking about his classmate Wu Maomao.
"What!" Zhang Zhao was shocked, Wu Chengcheng didn't look like he was lying, and he thought of the sound he made at the village chief's house before. In this way, Wu Maomao, the grandson of the village chief, was upstairs, and it is very likely that he was also one of the victims that night.
Wu Chengcheng was startled by Zhang Zhao's exclamation, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”
All this is just Zhang Zhao's conjecture, although it is very likely to be the result of eight or nine inseparable ten, afraid that Wu Chengcheng will be sad Zhang Zhao can only hide it, he stroked Wu Chengcheng's head: "Maybe it's because it's very dangerous outside now, and the village chief doesn't let Wu Maomao come out to play." We'll leave tomorrow and you'll see him. ”
"Is this true?" Wu Chengcheng looked expectant.
"It's true, go back to sleep." Zhang Zhao smiled. Seeing Wu Chengcheng enter the house safely, he entered the house.
"Who was out there just now?" As soon as he entered the door, Guo Rong asked casually, because there was no electricity, he couldn't do anything else, Guo Rong and Lu Yang were playing cards with candles.
"Lie down, Wu Chengcheng didn't know how long he stood outside the door, but you didn't find it?" Zhang Zhao was a little angry, these people were too obsessed with playing cards.
"Why didn't he come in?" Guo Rong stared at the cards in his hand, "A pair of aces." ”
Zhang Zhao didn't want to blame anything, the key was not Wu Chengcheng, but that his own people didn't have any vigilance, if it wasn't Wu Chengcheng outside the door, but other people or zombies, I really don't know what the consequences would be.
Zhang Zhao's temper Guo Rong still knows better, he doesn't speak whenever he has something, he shows all the cards in his hand, and stands up: "Don't play, don't play." Then he sat down next to Zhang Zhao and handed him a cigarette: "What's wrong?" ”
The resources of cigarettes are limited, and it seems that he has won a lot this night, so he smiled and wrapped the scattered pile of cigarettes in a bag. Zhang Zhao felt anxious for a while, and told the village chief about asking him to go out to his house, "Just now Wu Chengcheng said that the village chief still has his grandson at home, but I have stayed in his house for so long, and I haven't seen anyone else. I suspect that it is very likely that his grandson has also become a zombie and is hidden upstairs by Wu Jinming. ”
Hearing this, the people in the house couldn't help but gasp, which means that the village chief Wu Jinming raised zombies in his home. After the tragedy that night, the zombies in the village have been cleaned up, and the zombie corpses have been dug up and burned today. It stands to reason that as long as it is not a passing zombie coming here, this village will not be in danger in a short period of time.
If it is really as Zhang Zhao guessed, the village chief Wu Jinming's family has raised zombies, since everyone is leaving tomorrow, what will happen to this zombie? Wu Jinming will raise Wu Maomao, who has become a zombie, at home, which shows that he loves this grandson very much, will he really leave Wu Maomao and leave by himself?
Donna was lying on the couch in the room, hearing everyone talking, she slowly opened her eyes, she had just taken a nap after a few days of exhaustion. Zhang Zhao probably heard what they discussed, and she said solemnly: "It's better to go to Wu Chengcheng and ask clearly, it's useless for you to guess here." ”
"Yes, go to Wu Chengcheng and ask clearly, Lu Yang, you go and bring Wu Chengcheng, we have to ask the details of the matter." Zhang Zhao said to Lu Yang.
The worst thing to lose just now is Lu Yang, although he doesn't smoke, but for him, winning or losing is not as simple as losing cigarettes, this guy has wanted to prove himself in front of everyone in recent days. When I first met him, he was as timid as a mouse, and he was asked to go out in the middle of the night, and he probably didn't do it to death. And now it has changed a lot, and it has been promised in one bite.
Not long after, Lu Yang came back alone, but he didn't see Wu Chengcheng behind him.
"What about Wu Chengcheng? Asleep? ”
Lu Yang said: "Brother Zhang, I knocked on the door for a while, but no one came to open the door, and then I went in by myself, rummaged inside and outside the house, and didn't see Wu Chengcheng." ”
Wu Chengcheng is not at home? "Not good!" Zhang Zhao jumped up from the stool with a panicked expression: "Wu Chengcheng must have slipped out to find Wu Maomao." ”
Wu Chengcheng and Wu Maomao are not only classmates, but also in the same village, and they have played since childhood. The death of his family in that disaster is undoubtedly the biggest blow to everyone who encounters this kind of thing. In addition to grief, the support that Wu Chengcheng wants most is the support of his good friend Wu Maomao. He hadn't seen Wu Maomao since that night.
Hearing Zhang Zhao say this tonight, the doubts in my heart have become heavier for many days, and children of this age are more curious, so I can't help but go and see what is going on.
