Chapter 16: Mother and Daughter in a Desperate Situation
Hearing Meng Qingqiang's affirmative answer, Chen Lao felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he was not surprised by this answer, but was happy because Meng Qingqiang did not hide it from him. The man-eating monsters in the world are running all over the streets, and it is not so shocking to become inhuman, and Meng Qingqiang's daily performance also shows that his heart is still unchanged as he said, and he is still a father of the Gu family.
Looking at Chen Lao, who looked calm and relieved, Meng Qingqiang also breathed a sigh of relief, although he did not take the initiative to inform Chen Lao and the others about his mutation, but he never thought of concealing it, after a long time, others naturally noticed the difference in him, not to mention Chen Lao, who was old and refined, now that he had said it, he also had a sense of relief.
Since I told Chen Lao, I just told them all, Meng Qingqiang and Chen Lao, when they returned to the house, they found that everyone was waiting for them instead of resting.
Looking at the pair of eyes staring at him, Meng Qingqiang took off his shirt, and then repeated what he had just said to Chen Lao. Looking at the terrible scars and the hideous pitch-black veins on the skin, the atmosphere was silent for a while.
Looking at Meng Qingqiang who was shirtless, Bai Ying sighed, stood up and walked to her husband's side and hugged his arm, and slowly talked about her previous experience and the abnormalities of Meng Qingqiang's body.
After Bai Ying's narration, there was silence again, for the magic of the surviving place, Meng Qingqiang's strength, they actually had some guesses, but they suddenly understood the mystery, but it was still a little difficult to accept, especially Wang Yan on the side, she witnessed the scene where her brother was killed, and she had the strongest hatred for the monster. So at this time, she was the most silent, and the gaze in her eyes kept flickering.
Just as the silence continued, Liu Tiefeng, who was still stunned just now, suddenly burst out laughing.
"I'll just say, Brother Qiang is by no means an ordinary person, no wonder he can deter so many corpses with the power of one person" Everyone has accepted the name "corpse man" given by Meng Qingqiang.
"What kind of monster, I said, Brother Qiang is the same as those supermen or something, that is, the hero in the disaster, except for his combat effectiveness, what is the difference between the others and us, not the same eating and sleeping, this is good, since I know that Brother Qiang is the nemesis of the corpse, my sister and I are not leaving, this is safer than that transit station, Brother Qiang, you will take us to rebuild our home here, I believe you!"
Hearing Liu Tiefeng's words, Meng Qingqiang smiled and said: "That's okay, since everyone is not leaving, then we will be a family in the future, live well in this last world, and build a new home"
The atmosphere was warm for a while, Liu Tiefeng proposed that since he wanted to rebuild his home, he had to rename it, and after discussion, in the end, it was the oldest Chen Lao who made a decision, because it was Meng Qingqiang's family who was here at the beginning, so it will be called "Mengjia Village" in the future. As for Meng Qingqiang's suggestion to nominate himself as the village head, Chen Lao was very strongly opposed, and in the end, Meng Qingqiang was still the village head of Mengjia Village, which in Liu Tiefeng's words, was still the name of the scum.
With a real belonging, after stabilizing people's hearts, everyone felt inexplicably excited, discussing with each other, at this time Bai Ying touched Meng Qingqiang, who was getting dressed, and motioned him to pay attention to Wang Yan, Wang Yan was silent from the discussion just now, and then got up and staggered to his bedroom, Meng Qingqiang nodded, and came to Wang Yan's bedroom after getting dressed and dividing by two.
After a long period of recuperation, Wang Yan's injuries have basically healed, but he is still a little weak. At this time, she was sitting on her bed, staring at her feet with dull eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Miss Wang, what do you want? Can't you accept my identity as a monster, if you're not feeling well, wait until you're better. Big brother will take you to the transit station"
Looking at the tall figure standing in front of him, touching his nose and talking to himself with a little embarrassment, Wang Yan's heart was a mess for a while, she didn't want to leave, the people here took care of themselves like family during this time, like a younger brother and sister Meng Le Xiaoxin Yu Tielan, like the eldest sister Bai Ying, grandfather Chen Lao, and Liu Tiefeng, who has been looking for nothing to say, and finally Meng Qingqiang, who treats corpses fiercely and treats family members carefully and gently, she feels that she has found her family again, but for Meng Qingqiang's sudden announcement of identity, She subconsciously couldn't accept it, she couldn't forget the shadow lying on her brother.
Looking at the tangled Wang Yan, Meng Qingqiang sighed and said, "You are still weak, don't think too much, no matter what, take good care of your body before making plans." With that, he turned and walked to the door.
At this time, Wang Yan, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Brother Qiang, are you really resurrected from the dead?" Is it possible that my brother will also come back from the dead?"
"Well, it's okay, but my situation is special, even if your brother is resurrected, maybe he won't be the same as the original, of course, everything is hard to say, maybe your brother may be the same as me."
Looking at Wang Yan, whose eyes suddenly lit up with the light of hope, Meng Qingqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew the real reason why he came back from the dead, but this couldn't be said to Wang Yan, after all, crossing the parallel universe, possession is still a bit too absurd compared to becoming a monster and retaining the will of a person.
But for the final answer to Wang Yan, it can't be said that he is pure comfort, and Meng Qingqiang has always had some thoughts about the corpse. At present, there are actually two kinds of corpses he has come into contact with, one is infected with the alpha virus and mutates directly, and the other is that the immune person is attacked by the corpse and dies, but the body is not completely destroyed after death for some reason, and still retains the basic mobility and then mutates. A normal corpse, he didn't think much about it. But for the second type of corpse, he calls it a transformed corpse, he himself is a transformed corpse to be precise, but his situation is more special, but in addition to himself, there is a special case, which makes him mind very much, that is, the "acquaintance" he met at the beginning, the guy who can basically be judged from the appearance is also a transformed corpse, at first Meng Qingqiang didn't realize that there was anything special about that "acquaintance", but as he slaughtered more and more corpses, he felt more and more special about the corpse, He still remembers the human expression on his face when he met for the second time, and the magical yellow substance in his brain. After that, it was not that he had never seen a transformed corpse, but there was no one as expressive as the transformed corpse and the kind of substance in his brain, which couldn't help but make Meng Qingqiang guess that not all transformed corpses were like ordinary corpses, and there may be some special individuals who would have the ability to think, and the mysterious substance in the brain didn't know if it was the reason for this change. If things are really as he guessed, maybe Wang Yan's younger brother may really recover his senses, of course he didn't tell her all this, he still needs to find the same special case to prove his conjecture, after all, he can't open his head to prove it, and even if he finds evidence, it can't prove that the restored person is still the same person, and at the same time, the reason or law of the exception must be found. Thinking of this, Meng Qingqiang shook his head, put these thoughts in the back of his mind, and he could study them slowly in the future.
Wang Yan, who recovered the next day, also said that he was going to join Mengjia Village, which made everyone else feel very happy, especially Liu Tiefeng, who had a slight impression of her, was very happy.
All the village celebrities discussed it, for the future development of Mengjia Village, there are three points to do, the first is to continue to collect living resources and the construction of the village, which is mainly led by the village chief to complete, the second, is to improve survival skills, from now on by Chen Lao and Liu Tiefeng to teach everyone the use of weapons, and practice shooting, improve the accuracy. After recovery, Wang Yan taught everyone martial arts and cold weapon fighting skills, and the third is to strengthen the connection with the outside world, with the advent of winter. The corpses disappeared in the wild, while on the contrary, human and animal activity increased dramatically. Maybe there will be other people coming to Mengjia Village in the future, and Mengjia Village should absorb more people in order to expand the number of people in the village. Of course, for the new members who come back in the future, they still need to be observed and tested. Meng Qingqiang also decided to wait for a while and go to the transit station, first, to learn more information about the outside world, and second, to see if he could get some resources or weapons to help.
After deciding on the policy, they first made some signboards with large words on them for Mengjia Village and marked the location. The signs placed on the main traffic routes are poorly made to look post-apocalyptic at first glance, and people who pass through the vicinity from all directions can understand that there is a human survival point here.
Then the field team composed of Meng Qingqiang, Liu Tiefeng, and Wang Yan began to hunt a large number of wild pigs and other animals, while Chen Lao stayed in the village to be responsible for the planting of greenhouses, Bai Ying was responsible for taking care of and educating children, and became a village doctor to study corpses, and Sister Liu was responsible for sundries to help Chen Lao and Bai Ying. Although there are not many people, the emerging Mengjia Village is a thriving scene. In this warm atmosphere, a heavy snow quietly fell, and winter finally came.
Two rows of footprints on a white ground stretched out to a small parking lot booth, which was empty and the only stool inside had been moved outside. The mother hugged her daughter and shivered in the cold night, they were Liu Shumin and Zhang Wanqing, the mother and daughter who escaped from the camp, the two escaped not half a day before they encountered an accident because of the heavy snow, the car crashed on the side of the road and could not drive, they could only walk, and it was precisely because of this accident that they were lucky to escape the fine-eyed fourth who chased behind them. When the fourth child found the crashed car on the side of the road, the mother and son cleverly hid in the green belt on the side to avoid the search of the three, and then fled in the opposite direction, all the way to this sentry box.
Hiding in her mother's arms, Wanqing was awakened by a shock in the middle of the night, she found that her mother was hot and shivering, because of the cold, her mother gave her own clothes, coupled with the death of her father, the repeated blows of escaping the camp, she fell ill, there was very little food in the backpack, and she was basically eaten up on the road, only a bottle of water was left, and after carefully feeding her mother some water, Zhang Wanqing took off her mother and her coat and draped it on her mother. She remembered a street sign on the side of the road that she vaguely saw when she came, and when they stopped to check, they found that there was a name of Mengjia Village on it, and a simple road map, at that time, her mother Shumin was worried that it was the same as the previous camp, and she wanted to go south to the transit station, so she didn't stop, but she didn't expect a car accident to happen soon, and the fourth child from the camp also caught up, and now in her mother's situation, she can only take a risk and go to that Mengjia Village to see if she can get help. The snow outside has stopped, and the moonlight reflects brighter on the ground behind the snow.
She made up her mind to go outside the village and take a sneak peek, and if it was as smoky as the camp, she would see if she could steal some medicine or food. A slender figure dressed in thin clothes walked out of the sentry box and headed for her place of hope, she didn't know what awaited her, but at this moment courage filled her body, and the will to save her mother overwhelmed everything.
