Chapter 13: The Two-Faced Man

As soon as September passed, Zhang Jiaming reached the age of 31, and his life was 10 hurdles, but for him, this hurdle was too big.

First of all, when the end came, the virus broke out and lost the whereabouts of his parents, and then he finally stumbled and struggled to survive, playing hide-and-seek with zombies, desperately trying to eat a few bites!

Then he got acquainted with the love of his life, which was supposed to be the end of his single life, and he was supported by a new family, who would have thought that Seong would not know if he was blessed, and the cruelty of the Deng brothers made him see the fierce and violent side of human nature, and his crippled body did not save the lives of his family, which made Zhang Jiaming feel guilty.

Later, Uncle Mutant Blacksmith's step-by-step approach and the group action of evolving zombies forced Zhang Jiaming to a dead end, and he could only choose to take refuge in a small isolated island desolately, and his fate was quite tortuous, and he ushered in the opportunity to change himself, the unknown raindrops and fog changed the direction of human evolution, and also made him completely reborn like a phoenix nirvana, and obtained his first ability --- biological mimicry.

With strong ability, you can take care of the people around you, perhaps, in the last days, it would be a good thing to have an evolutionary like Zhang Jiaming, at least, Zhang Jiaming has no ambition, he just wants to gather human beings, and then live together, develop, and restore the old prosperity!

The first people to be rescued from him were a strange group of Christians! An outlier who lives together in the strange circle of Chinese culture.

From the initial incomprehension, to the later slowly integrated in, Zhang Jiaming has regarded himself as a part of this group of people, at the very least, he can see the good side in this group of people.

But he underestimated the other side of humanity, and in the dock area, he shouldn't let Yu Kaishan and his gang go. The small island has started a new construction, and a large number of hoarded goods cannot be piled up in the open air for the rain to destroy, and Mr. Priest has summed up, since he has not seen the guardian beast come back for many days, he will simply do it himself, and build more warehouses before the autumn and winter rains come.

Zhang Jiaming continued his secret protection work, and usually took the initiative to undertake part of the manual work. In order not to arouse some unnecessary suspicion, he restrained his ability and was busy doing things for everyone like an ordinary person, but unfortunately, this group of people always stayed away from him, even that little Wenwen was protected by several adults, not allowing Zhang Jiaming to get close at will, these are small things, Zhang Jiaming knows his position, he is not a ruler, nor is he a careerist, what he needs is a group of people who can communicate and watch each other.

Soon, October came, the two newly built warehouses made the priest breathe a sigh of relief, most of the goods on the barge have been placed, don't worry about the rainy season, the days are still very calm, the children are babbling in the church hall to learn the church culture, and Zhang Jiaming sat on the landing point of the lighthouse with Da Hei in his arms, Zhang Jiaming's image at the moment has not changed much, his beard is crawling all over his cheeks, coupled with thick hair, Nuo doesn't see that it is all black tones, and the whole person is like a Russian big hairy countryman, coupled with a burly body that is not like words, the status of the underworld characters in the hearts of the cultists is already obvious!

It's a sunny day, a rare good day in October, the girls are busy pulping laundry and bedding in the small river bay in front of them, splashing water and playing with each other from time to time, a few young men are holding grass roots on the riverside, peeking at the girls, they are responsible for grazing the herd that has expanded - the sheep are still 8, but the livestock and poultry have become nearly 100, the priest not only treats people, but also has a hand in animal husbandry, if it is not for the identity of foreigners, Zhang Jiaming also wants to treat him as a talent - Zhang Jiaming still insists on his old opinion in his heart, and his heart will be different if he is not of my race!

To put it bluntly, it was still his previous education that was making trouble, why did you have the old accounts of your ancestor's eight-nation alliance invasion of our Great Celestial Empire that had not yet been settled, and forced our emperor to sign a treaty that humiliated the country.

National self-esteem has always been a pain in Zhang Jiaming's heart, although his own dignity before the end of the world is like a spittoon on in the corner of the corridor, and everyone can spit on it!

To quote the words of some critics and angry youths, guys like Zhang Jiaming are the ones who eat gutter oil and the heart of Zhongnanhai!

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the small island is a peach blossom source in the world, men grazing, women washing, Zhang Jiaming is leisurely!

"Look over there, there's a boat!" Under the warm sunshine, the snake genes on the warm Zhang Jiaming began to move, and the lazy snake originally liked to bask in the sun!

At the moment when he was about to fall asleep, the shouts of the two girls pulled him back to reality from the dream of the peach land, a beautiful carp was straightened, Zhang Jiaming jumped up, and began to use his ability to check, there was indeed a small boat on the river 300 meters away from the island, there were 5 people on the boat, two children and a couple who seemed to be husband and wife, and the remaining one was obviously unable to move and lay on the board.

Putting on a pair of sunglasses, Zhang Jiaming walked down the shallows, ready to meet these people who looked like they were in distress.

In just a few minutes, the boat docked, and the two adults jumped out of the boat with a child in their arms, tired and out of breath, they were obviously running away from something, Zhang Jiaming stopped a few disciples behind him who wanted to help, and walked forward alone.

Three of the four people who disembarked were all yellow-skinned, and the lack of food in the apocalypse did make many survivors live like years, some chose to go crazy and leave their hiding places to rush to loss, and some people survived strongly, just like the people in front of them.

The leading man has a good complexion, obviously he can get more food than women and children, this is the law of survival, men have to go out to find food, women are the hope of the reproduction of the human race, and children, it is a drag!

They can't work for the tribe for a while, it's just a waste of food, so many survivors choose to let their children eat less so that they can squeeze out little food for the men who go out!

The distressed family in front of him is such a typical example, looking at a bearded man with an angry face walking over, so that this relatively thin man can't help but feel even more inferior and rickety.

"We, for a few days, have nothing to eat, pity my children, please, take them in, it doesn't matter if we starve to death, please!" The man didn't dare to speak, but the woman took the first step, her voice was desolate, and she said intermittently, but some subtle plots Zhang Jiaming observed, the woman would secretly observe the man's reaction every time she said a word, as if she was very afraid, the two grades of about 3 years old hugged the woman's thighs tightly, and they also looked at the man with a scared look!

"What's the relationship between the two of you?" Zhang Jiaming pointed at them,

"I am the second uncle of the child, this is my sister-in-law, the eldest brother is on the boat, he got a strange disease a few days ago, you see, this is not unlucky, drink cold water and stuff your teeth! This eldest brother has done a good deed and taken my two nephews in, which is more or less two lives! ”

"Let me see, Zhang Jiaming got on the boat gang, and when he looked at it, the patient's eyes were already dilated, and his whole body was filled with a foul smell, and it seemed that he couldn't live.

"I can't save it, let's deal with it, I think, just throw it into the river, it's a water burial!" Zhang Jiaming left the boat and left a sentence, he himself is not capable of treating diseases and saving people.

Unconsciously, Zhang Jiaming felt a cold chill surging around him, which was a kind of contemptuous gaze.

"Wait, wait". The priest got the news and rushed over with a few men.

"I'll take a look, maybe there will be a saver!" It's really troublesome, medicine is scarce on the island, the priest's humanitarian spirit has flare-up, his current identity has been kept secret, and it is not good to interfere with his approach, Zhang Jiaming had to take out a pack of cigarettes depressedly and watch coldly from the sidelines.

The priest brought all kinds of treatment equipment, most of which Zhang Jiaming helped him get, and after working for a while, Christopher stood up and ordered

"There is still salvation, you guys will move him to the scripture hall immediately! Girls, go get ready for medicine and clean beds, quick! Zhang Jiaming's cold-blooded performance once again allowed himself to be left aside, completely isolated, to be exact, there was still a big black on the side.

The woman and the two children were also taken care of, and the two married women on the side sent hot soup and bread, regardless of the dirty hands, the children grabbed and stuffed them into their mouths, but the woman in distress was very careful, first handed the bread respectfully to her brother-in-law, and then dared to swallow the small half of the bread in her hand, the man obviously disdained these dry breads, pretending to barely cope with a few mouthfuls, and took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and threw the food in his hand into the river, and all this was seen by Zhang Jiaming.

The small scripture hall was busy, the patient was pushed to a large square table in the middle, 8 large mirrors were erected around it--- which is all that can be found on the island, dozens of candles were lit around the mirrors, the priest was very experienced in choosing to operate on the patient, since the conditions were a little simple, he used the soil method, and made a substitute for the shadowless lamp, next to the temporary operating table were two little girls, it could be seen that they often assisted the priest, and were skillfully sterilizing the pliers, tweezers and other instruments one by one, Of course, the disinfectant water and various surgical instruments were also brought by Zhang Jiaming!

The priest put on glasses, asked the assistant on the side to wrap himself in a plastic gown, and then cleaned up the crowd of onlookers out of the small scripture hall, after closing the door, it was quiet inside, a group of people in addition to taking care of the new arrivals, also went away to busy, Zhang Jiaming has lost the fifth cigarette, he was not a regular smoker before the end of the world, he used to work with the leadership colleagues occasionally swallowed clouds and smoke, and then after that trip, in order to recuperate, had to give up this hobby, now his health is better, and he is depressed, Zhang Jiaming moved out his old hobby again.

His performance was naturally seen by the fleeing man, this man was not idle, he looked worried about his eldest brother's condition, as if he wanted to go in immediately to see if his eldest brother was still saved, if it wasn't for a few big men to stop him, it is estimated that he would really rush into the scripture hall.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the prayer hall opened, and the operation lasted at least an hour and a half, and the priest greeted everyone with a smile on his face, rubbing the sweat on his head and flicking the blood on his hands.

It's done? Zhang Jiaming's heart is dark.

"It's okay, don't worry, your big brother is safe." The priest patted the man on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Thank you, thank you for this doctor, you are really in the world, the Guanyin who saves the suffering! Look at my mouth, run the train, hehe, I'll thank you for my sister-in-law and two nephews first, I'll go see my eldest brother. The man was busy thanking him, and from time to time he tried to see the scene in the scripture hall.

"The patient needs to rest, wait three days, I guess he will be able to survive, by the way, I have something I want to ask you." The priest motioned for the man to follow, but the man looked reluctant and followed the priest to the forest on the island.

This incident made the priest raise a notch in Zhang Jiaming's heart! In the place where Zhang Jiaming lives, it is mostly the habitat of some poisonous insects and beasts, many villagers go up the mountain to cut firewood and plant trees during the day, take care of fruit trees or other work, they will always meet these dangerous creatures on a narrow road, and the result is often that the villagers are injured and carried to the township health center for rescue by the village neighbors who heard the sound afterwards. This is also a helpless reality in the border areas of ethnic minorities, compared to the number of people who are bitten to death by snakes in India every year, there are only a lot more people in the southwest frontier who die in the mouths of fierce beasts every year!

Zhang Jiaming heard his uncle and sixth uncle tell the story of fighting wild boars, of course, in order to attract children, the heroic plots of those fathers must be indispensable!

A man who worships God and is compassionate to the heavens and people, with superb surgical skills, but he just ran to this poor and remote land, known as the land of barnyard officials and exiles in the land of the Celestial Empire!

Christopher, how many surprises do you have to look forward to? Zhang Jiaming can be regarded as sure of one thing, this priest is definitely not a simple person, his knowledge is more profound than the sum of all the people here!

For several days, the priest was busy doing all kinds of work for the five new arrivals, including getting them baptized and becoming new believers!

This god stick always doesn't forget to influence the world and promote his own set of Western values! Zhang Jiaming, who was extremely depressed, scolded on the side, and not long after, someone came to inform him that the priest wanted to talk to him alone.

Still in a small forest, the sun is not so bright, a few dark clouds are gathering in the southeast, and there are faint traces of thunder and lightning, perhaps, a big storm is about to sweep here.

The same smile appeared on the priest's face, and he beckoned Zhang Jiaming to approach, and the two walked side by side in the woods.

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I don't know how to say it." After being silent for a while, the priest said with a little hesitation, he was peeking at Zhang Jiaming's reaction,

"We are a group of people of faith, there are many differences from traditional Chinese morality, of course, I do not mean to belittle your Chinese culture, on the contrary, I like your Chinese culture very much, just like now, I can communicate with you in fluent Chinese, and my wife, may the Lord bless her!" The priest paused, drew a cross on his chest, and bowed his head very reverently.

"Also a Chinese! But unfortunately, she died of the plague! ”

"Please mourn." Zhang Jiaming was very knowledgeable, he heard a little taste, but he did not immediately ask his own question, and motioned for the priest to continue.

"I'll get it straight." The priest bowed his head, thinking he was making a difficult decision

"Your thoughts and actions are in conflict with ours! First of all, that day at the docks, we all knew that you were the one who single-handedly avoided a bloody conflict! But your approach is not approved by us! We are not the godfathers of Italy! As a clergyman, I must say that we cannot agree with your approach! Zhang Jiaming bit his lip, but he resisted the urge and continued to wait for the priest's next words.

Seeing that Zhang Jiaming did not have any bad behavior, the priest let go of his heart and continued

"As you can see, our people here are very kind, they follow the Lord's teachings and are kind to everyone around them. In the days before Heavenly Father sent the apostles, no matter how difficult and difficult it was, we supported each other to live to the moment of redemption. If you claim that the sacred beast was raised by you, then what it does is your kindness to us! We will not forget this, please rest assured! "What should come will still come, Zhang Jiaming sighed in his heart.

"Forgive me for my frivolity, the five new refugees, oh no, my Lord Jesus, they are your children, protected by you!" The priest really made Zhang Jiaming speechless, and he even prayed if he said the wrong thing!

"We've all found that you have a very good opinion of them?"

"Huh?" Zhang Jiaming looked at the priest's eyes suspiciously, and unsurprisingly, the priest threw out the following words,

"We appreciate everything you do, but we don't like conflict or bloodshed in a crowd! Your attitude towards a dying patient is not satisfactory to everyone, and it is very likely that even his family, his brother and his wife, will become disgusted with you! As a clergyman, I want to avoid this eventuality, especially on these difficult days! Mr. Zhang! Listen to me, get out of here for a while, and let the wounds of the wounded heal! I beg you, in the words of you Chinese, to step back and open the sky. Zhang Jiaming was completely speechless, this guy not only has good medical skills, but also reads a good scripture, obviously driving you away, but he said that you don't have a temper at all!

Talent, absolute talent! Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhang Jiaming said loudly: "Mr. Priest, since things have developed as you said, there is no way to do it. Then I'll listen to you, leave here for the time being, Da Hei will let you take care of it, and after a while, I will let Erhei come back to help you. The world is sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, I'm afraid, alas, don't talk about it, I'll just mention one thing, that man is weird! Don't believe him! ”

"Rest assured, as a servant of the Lord, I still have faith in the Lambs of the Lord, and now everyone is fully recovered, of course, thanks to you!" The priest said heartily and bowed to Zhang Jiaming,

"Hey, hey, I'm so embarrassed that you're like this, little things, little things!". This is the end of the conversation, in a dark corner of the grove, another conversation is raging!

"Don't forget, what Boss Wu ordered, your whole family is still in his hands! Honestly do what I say, get it? It was the man who had fled, and he was confronted by the woman with a panicked face

"I listen to you, I listen to you, what do you want me to do?" She agreed with trepidation.

"In a few days, that person will really die, and when the time comes, we will ,,,, like this" The woman hesitated for a moment, but still approached honestly in the man's angry eyes, and after a whisper, the man gasped and pushed the woman to the ground!

If others see it, they will be surprised that there is a scandalous drama of uncle and sister-in-law ** here! That night, Zhang Jiaming said goodbye to the believers, only took away his original kayak and his own firearms, and left all other things to them, the little girl named Wenwen picked a small yellow flower when Zhang Jiaming was about to leave, and sent it to him.

Looking at the little girl's sincere face, Zhang Jiaming suddenly had the urge to cry, what did he silently guard them for?

He remembered the classic scene, when the Great Druid Storm led his troops into the depths of a strange wood, full of burning flames, wailing and fleeing animals, and a huge demon standing in the midst of the skyrocketing fire.

"What have you done to my brother! Demon! ”

"It's me, Illidan, my brother!"

"It's you! What exactly did you do! For the sake of power, you actually chose to become a demon! ”

"That's right, you can't realize what a powerful force this is!"

"So, you sold your soul!"

"Yes, brother, everything is as you expected!"

"You're not my brother! Leave here and never set foot in this pristine forest again! ”

"As you wish, brother,,,, chief." Raging for his brother's depravity, Fury has to choose to drive away his own flesh and blood!

Now, this situation is so similar! The same power of depravity - in the eyes of this group of believers, the underworld is depravity, and it is also a clergyman who drives out his own guardians!

Both Druids and Christianity seem to be peace-loving. Forcibly enduring his feelings, Zhang Jiaming still pretended to be cold, waved his hand, got into the kayak, and left without looking back.

Da Hei stood on the shore, and the dog's spirituality told him that the owner must have suffered some grievances, and it was the only one, where it was in a hurry, as if it was in a hurry, constantly scratching the ground, roaring, hoping to call back Zhang Jiaming!

In the crowd, an unnoticed sneer flashed across the man's face.
