Chapter 44: Joy and Sorrow

The scene of the corpse tide during the day could not be driven away in his mind, and with the addition of one more person in the house, Zhang Zifeng couldn't sleep, until the morning light was slightly revealed in the east, and he fell asleep.

But it didn't last long before he was woken up by the noise outside. The mutation of the body has made hearing much more sensitive, and it is not entirely a good thing.

I couldn't help getting up, got dressed and opened the courtyard door, and saw Chu Zhaonan waiting at the door.

His face was completely devoid of yesterday's pride and ease, replaced by an anxious face, seeing Zhang Zifeng hurriedly pull his sleeve, pull towards the sports field, and said, "Come over quickly, I'll wait for you." ”

Zhang Zifeng was a little confused. At this point, the roar of the generator and the anime songs are gone. On the sports field, the bonfire in the middle has been extinguished, and wisps of light smoke waft out.

Almost everyone was there, forming a large circle around the bonfire as they had done last night, and their expressions were quite solemn, which was very different from the joyful atmosphere of last night.

Among them, the woman named Su Qiaoyi was even sobbing quietly, hiding behind Xu Hong timidly.

Zhang Zifeng also noticed a key problem, that is, there was a man sitting next to the ashes in the center, dejected, and seemed to be deliberately surrounded by everyone.

He asked tentatively, "Is something wrong?" ”

Chu Zhaonan nodded and said, "Yes, it's a little tricky. As he spoke, he began to tell the story of the incident.

Last night, while everyone was partying to their heart's content, there was a discordant scene.

The atmosphere of the dance party was very warm, everyone drank more or less, the number of internal urgency increased, and there was an endless stream of people who quietly withdrew to facilitate it.

In this free world, there are toilets everywhere except for the basketball court where you live. The more bold ones are solved on the spot nearby, while the more reserved ones, mainly women, still have to go farther and try to avoid the embarrassment of being seen.

At that time, the dance party had already entered the second half, Zhang Zifeng and the others had already left, Su Qiaoyi was a little dizzy from drinking, and urine came from her lower body. Seeing that the people around her were either drunk or sleeping, she was too embarrassed to disturb anyone, and quietly withdrew from the table to find a place to solve it.

Xu Hong, who was beside her, noticed her actions, didn't think about it deeply, and continued to enjoy the joy of the ball.

This village has been explored, there are no zombies, no other humans, not even a cat or dog animal, what danger can there be when you go to pee?

It turns out that she thinks too simply, and it is often the most terrible kind of her kind.

Some distance away from the playground, the noise gradually faded, and by that time the full moon was about to rise overhead, casting a clear glow over the earth, covering everything with a haze and revealing a large shadow.

Su Qiaoyi felt an inexplicable panic, she was most afraid of quiet and darkness when she was alone, and she regretted coming out alone.

Trembling and unbuttoning his pants, when she wanted to lift it, Su Qiaoyi suddenly found that her shadow on the ground had become two.

Startled, she jerked back and saw the face of a man close at hand.

This man she knows, called Niu Meng, has the same surname as Niu Tiancong but has nothing to do with it, he didn't take the initiative to help anyone when he was in the bungalow, and he didn't do anything evil, he belongs to the silent majority.

During the day, he was part of Cui Shu's search team, going to a neighboring village to collect supplies, and when he returned, he privately gave her a jar of toffee—a rare commodity in the relatively poor countryside.

Like other dedicated men, Su Qiaoyi chose to refuse this kind of small favor in private.

She has been in the position of the stars and the moon before the end of the world, and she knows a truth: all hospitality is not for nothing, and what you think is God's gift has long been marked by fate, and you will have the right to choose only if you refuse to tempt yourself.

If Xiong Xianming knew, he should be gratified, at least Su Qiaoyi still accepted his small gift—I don't know if it was really interesting to him or because he was afraid of his status.

The lewd smile on Niu Meng's face completely explained the purpose of his appearance here, before Su Qiaoyi called out, his hand had already covered her mouth, and the other hand was around his slender waist.

Everything she had experienced in the bungalow suddenly appeared in front of her, and with the smell of wine in her mouth, Su Qiaoyi was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.

For men, she has instinctively developed a stress response and struggles desperately, but the biological differences between men and women make resistance meaningless, and the two arms wrapped around her body do not move at all.

Su Qiaoyi felt that her body was dragged by the man and walked deeper into the alley, gradually moving away from the sports field, and the hope of being rescued became more and more slim.

In the shadow of a high wall, Su Qiaoyi was thrown down roughly, and the man didn't delay for a second, leaned over, tore her clothes, and made a cloth ball to block her mouth by the way, and began to commit violence.

The dance party on the sports field was still going on, but Su Qiaoyi felt like she was in purgatory every minute.

When Xu Hong sensed that something was wrong and found Su Qiaoyi, she was sitting under the wall with her arms and knees, her head buried deep between her legs.

Straightened his head, revealing a tearful face, and when he saw Xu Hong coming, his crying suddenly became louder.

The eyebrows and eyes were red and swollen, there were blood stains on the corners of the mouth, and the clothes were torn, revealing the bruises on the body, Su Qiaoyi was not only humiliated, but also mixed with violence.

At this time, the perpetrator Niu Meng returned to the sports field at some point and continued to drink and brag as if nothing had happened. Until Xu Hong took Su Qiaoyi to question in public, his first reaction was to deny it, and after he couldn't deny it, he apologized lightly, as if this matter was as ordinary as eating and drinking.

At that time, many people had already rested, and they were all shouted by the angry Xu Hong. She was the representative of the women in the survivors' ranks, and her own men had been insulted, and she couldn't let it be left alone.

At the beginning, I didn't even pay attention to Niu Tiancong, and I was afraid of a mere bull?

Like Zhang Zifeng, who slept until dawn, he actually got the news at the end.

Hearing Chu Zhaonan's brief introduction, Zhang Zifeng's first reaction was: "Damn!" ”

The zombies in the outside world are already vast, and a small group of survivors is still killing each other inside? Infighting is indeed the root of human inferiority.

Sitting down in the middle of the sports field, Zhang Zifeng felt people's emotions, the women gritted their teeth with hatred, and the men also glared angrily.

In this small group, Ren Fei's appearance is of course first-class, but she is the exclusive god Zhang Zifeng, and no one dares to think crookedly; Cheng Sihan, a little Lori, is also not bad, but unfortunately the time to join is still shallow, and it also belongs to Zhang Zifeng's descendants, so she can't move easily.

Among the remaining women, Su Qiaoyi is recognized as a goddess. How many men want to have something to do with her, it's too late to coax, and now that they are being treated like this by Niu Meng, how can they not be angry?

Only then did Zhang Zifeng notice that Xiong Xianming was also sitting here, his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping water. This guy has always gotten up early lately, and as for Ren Fei and Cheng Sihan, they should still be sleeping.

"How many times do you want me to say it, I drank too much last night and did something I shouldn't have done in a daze, here I formally apologize to Qiaoyi, it's me who is wrong, I will definitely behave well in the future." Niu Meng said.

He should have said these words many times, but Zhang Zifeng couldn't hear the sincerity of the apology.

"You talk nonsense!" Xu Hong roared angrily: "If you are really drunk, how can you quietly follow Qiao Yi so far without being detected!" And how do you know to drag people to a remote place and then do it? You were premeditated! ”

Niu Meng spread his hands and said, "I can't help it if you say that." So I just drank too much. ”

Anyway, he just doesn't admit it, and he doesn't even bother to argue, which makes people smell a smell of fearlessness.

Chu Zhaonan glanced at Zhang Zifeng, his eyes full of helplessness. Whether or not the fact of bullying women has been hammered, the main reason is that how to punish Niu Meng is a head-scratching problem.

If it had been a few months ago, this would have been easy to handle. According to the subjective will and the degree of harm done to the woman, it is enough to be locked up in prison for three to ten years, and then fined and compensated the victims.

But now that there is no court or prison, he can't be locked up and someone else to watch.

Fines? Money is now the most useless thing. Everyone is eating a big pot of rice now, and private property is about equal to zero.

Labor reform is actually a seemingly beautiful method, but if you think about it a little deeply, you will find that this road does not work.

Let him work as much as he can, search for supplies, and improve the living standards of the people—isn't that what his search team is doing?

Or make a fire to cook? It is easier to let men do women's work, such punishment is equivalent to no punishment at all, and there is even a suspicion of encouraging men to bully women: anyway, even if you insult women, you just work a little more, why not?

Niu Meng understands these things, and everyone can figure it out, this is the real reason why he is fearless, he can't just kill him with a knife, and the civilized world would not have used such a heavy punishment for rapists in the past.

Niu Meng even disdained in his heart: Isn't it just playing with a woman, is it necessary to make such a big battle?

Now Zhang Zifeng understands what Chu Zhaonan means by "tricky", a bull is actually not that important, but the principle and process of dealing with it are very important.

This is the first time that the survivors have men and women, most of whom are single adults, but it will never be the last. If not handled properly, it is likely to cause a split in the survivors' group.

Chu Zhaonan looked around and said, "The people are almost together, and the process of this matter is basically understood, now everyone will talk about their thoughts." ”
