ACT235: Reaching an agreement

Sunny days, cabins.

Luo Yu sat at the door, stretched his waist comfortably in the warm sunshine, picked up the blade of the blade of the blade standing next to the stool with his backhand, dipped some water with a rag, and gently wiped the blood stains on the blade, his eyes wandered away, and he was in a trance. After leaving the land, he basically never used a knife again, and now that the island is about to leave the island, the road ahead is unknown, and the preparations that should be made naturally cannot be lazy. Taking out the oil stone that had been soaked for a long time from the basin, Luo Yu bent down, held the saw blade horizontally and stuck it obliquely on the oil stone surface, and moved his arm to do a boring and boring one-way application.

This knife has been with Luo Yu for a long time, and the dense granular notch of the blade has witnessed its brilliant achievements, whether it is a walking corpse or a living person, as long as it is injured by this blade, it will basically not leave a living mouth.

Luo Yu is actually a very nostalgic person, Jiao Ziqian told her many times before, saying that he wanted to change a knife for her, but Luo Yu didn't let him, and every time he said that this knife was easy to use and didn't need to be replaced. Jiao Ziqian knew something about her character, and since Luo Yu didn't want to, he didn't bother to talk anymore, at most occasionally helped her sharpen her knife, oil, and do maintenance.

The blade of the blade was the standard equipment of Song Jiu's former team, at that time, they had no channel to make guns, and the only thing they relied on was the blade in their hands, and Jiao Ziqian happened to be a good hand at sharpening knives and making blades.

On the way to transfer the camp, their team collided head-on with a wave of walking corpses, and during the fight, the watermelon knife used by Song Jiu accidentally broke, and he almost lost his life due to inferior equipment. Since then, Song Jiu has been wondering where to get some more handy guys. Weapons are the foundation of self-preservation, many knives that can be found on the street are unreliable, the appearance is bluffing, and if you really want to fight the walking corpse, it is easy to plant in the quality problem.

Later, they captured a steel processing factory, there was no food or drink in the factory, only mountains of steel, and in the face of various processing raw materials, Jiao Ziqian's heart of mechatronics began to burn. Under Jiao Ziqian's guidance, Song Jiu led people to open the boiler room, exterminate the sealed corpses inside, re-ignite the furnace, and the thick chimney rose again. The whole team was transferred from the mountain camp to the processing plant, the front and rear gates were welded, the top of the water tower was left with a sentry, the female dependents were busy with the trivial life under the leadership of Luo Yu and Mengfan, and the rest of the men entered the workshop and began to process day and night.

The past is always worth recalling, Luo Yu was a little tired, straightened up and rested for a while, his fingertips gently scraped the edge of the Xueliang blade, feeling the rustle of the blade on the skin, and the corners of his mouth curled up and smiled.

At that time, the Song wine team had just improved, and under his leadership, they fought in all directions, and everywhere they went, they never flinched in the face of corpses, even if they paid a heavy price, they did not want to avoid their edge, and they almost existed for the sake of killing. Luo Yu still remembers that Song Jiu didn't like to talk very much at that time, there was always a haze in his eyes, and he always rushed to be the first when he killed, not caring about the life and death of his subordinates, nor caring about his own life, but he loved Xin Mengfan very much. Later, the number of people in the team gradually increased, and the meaning of the team's existence slowly changed from killing to survival.

Luo Yu was not conspicuous when she first joined the team, she herself had a cold personality, she usually didn't talk much, and both men and women kept a certain distance, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to approach. Until a certain breakthrough bloody battle, Luo Yu had already escaped from the encirclement of the walking corpses with the female dependents, but he turned back alone, and single-handedly killed Song Jiu and others trapped in the palace.

Looking back, the steel mill should have been a good opportunity to take advantage of the convenience of the processing plant to build a steel fortress before the walking corpse recovers. However, they didn't do this, to be precise, Song Jiu didn't think about it at all, he always wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers as a camp, and Song Jiu didn't have any nostalgia for this processing plant on the edge of the concrete forest. Therefore, the precious coal was almost exhausted by him and Jiao Ziqian, and the entire processing plant was tossing and turning, except for the participation of all the female dependents, all the consumables of the processing plant were exhausted, but only a few hundred blades of mixed quality were produced.

Judging from the current perspective, Song Jiu and Jiao Ziqian are purely wasting resources. It's as if two poor ghosts inadvertently picked up a huge sum of money, and instead of using the money to buy a luxury incense car, they burned the cash and sat around the fire to keep warm.

Since then, this batch of 'expensive' steel knives has become the standard equipment of the team, regardless of men and women, each person has one hand, whether it is killing the walking corpse, chopping melons and vegetables, anyway, everyone has a share, how to use it as much as they like.

……

"What are you thinking?"

Dai Wei's voice sounded in his ears, and Luo Yu was excited, and his thoughts instantly pulled back from his memories.

"You've been staring at this knife for a long time." Dai Wei smiled and asked curiously, "What's the special story of this knife?" ”

"It's not special." Luo Yu exhaled slowly, wiped the water marks on the blade, smiled, got up and said, "I'll tell you when I have time." ”

Dai Wei laughed when he heard this, looked at her back, and said happily: "Are you free now?" ”

"Free." Luo Yu turned his head, smiled softly at him, and said, "But I don't want to tell you today." ”

The two of them were tired of being in the house for a while, and the bell rang from the big kitchen, and the quiet island was lively again.

"By the way, why didn't you go to the meeting?" Dai Wei and Luo Yu walked side by side to the cafeteria, and halfway through, Dai Wei saw that the door was still closed on the stilted building, and Song Wine seemed to be still talking.

"Brother Jiu and Lao Wu are here." Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders, turned his head to see Chef Niangjia, Lu Qian and Acne Girl walking here, and raised his hand to say hello to the two.

Dai Wei let out a low 'oh', looking a little puzzled, but didn't ask anything more.

The five of them walked to the canteen together, half of the collapsed side of the large kitchen had been cleaned up, but it had not been rebuilt, and the long tables outside the door were lined up in two rows, and most of the islanders were already in place, each carrying a rice bowl to serve vegetables and rice, in an orderly manner.

"What about Moe and Megumi?" Luo Yu didn't find the two of them in the crowd, turned his head and asked, "They don't eat?" ”

"Megumi is a little cold, so I'm resting in the house." Cook Niangjia helped a few people take the rice bowl and replied: "Lao Cao and Xiaomeng have gone to the cemetery and haven't come back yet." ”

"Yaoyao, they're not done yet?" Lu Qian glanced at the stilted building, with the same expression on her face as Dai Wei, and muttered, "It's been almost two hours, right?" ”

"Hmm." Luo Yu nodded in response, the exact time was an hour and a half, no one came out during this period, I don't know what the situation was inside.

"Luo Yu, will you go in and see the situation in a while? Waiting for people to panic. Lu Qian squeezed her eyes at her and said slyly, "Investigate the wind." ”

"I'm not going." Luo Yu laughed when he heard this, and quipped: "What's the matter with going in halfway, don't worry, it should be fast." ”

"Sister Qian, didn't you also come into contact with people in power at the beginning? What the hell is going on with those people? Is it reliable? "The acne girl always follows the topic closely, and she can interject in anything even if she doesn't feel interested.

Lucy smiled helplessly, spread her hands and said, "Most of the people I have come into contact with are dead, and I can't say what the specifics are." Halfway through speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said with emotion: "The ones I've seen are not bad, they are all good people." ”

"I heard how many of your friends are in the establishment?" Chef Niangjia is also very curious about this information, in the past, when she was in the riverbank camp, there were also living corpses who had mentioned this organization, but they were all half-aware and couldn't say anything new.

"Uh-huh, two girls." Lu Qian pinched her chopsticks, tilted her head and thought about it, pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know how they are now." ”

"I guess it's better than us, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree." The acne girl rolled her eyes and said with a wicked smile: "Where is it like us, following the ninth master in life and death." ”

The cook Jia Yang knocked her on the wrist and quipped: "Then I'll talk to Jiujiu, and say that you don't want to go with everyone, you want to stay here." ”

"Okay." The acne girl looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a stalk around her neck: "Just let Lao Wu stay with me." ”

Everyone at the same table laughed when they heard this, for the acne girl's hob meat, joking and banning is basically not lethal, compared with others, the acne girl's personal strength may be in the mentality, no matter what she is facing, she doesn't seem to care at all, she should eat, she should drink, although her self-protection ability is worse, but she lives uninhibited and free.

Just as he was talking and laughing, Dai Wei, who was sitting opposite, was suddenly stunned, looked behind everyone, and said in a low voice: "They are here." ”

Luo Yu and the others turned their heads when they heard this, and saw Song Jiu and them walking through the mangrove forest and walking towards the saddle vine path, Song Jiu and a young man in military trousers walked in the front, and the rest of the people followed behind, talking as they walked, far away, they couldn't see their expressions.

Lu Qian bit her chopsticks, a little worried between her eyebrows, and muttered, "I'll ask about the situation." With that, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left the table.

Luo Yu originally wanted to go, but seeing that she was one step ahead, he had to dispel his thoughts and continue to bury his head in dealing with food.

"It's good to talk a few more days and get a few more days of sleep." The acne girl sniffed and giggled.

……

Song Jiu and the others did not go to the open-air cafeteria to eat, but went directly to the coast, climbed the gangway, and walked onto the fishing boat they were on in Xiaozhuang.

The young man named Xiao Xu should be the chief engineer, and he led everyone from the deck down to the engine room, introducing the current situation of the ship along the road, until he walked to the position of the oil storage tank, then stopped, clicked the fuel gauge on the side, and said: "After the engine was scrapped, the fuel supply was cut off, and we have been drifting without power behind us, so there is still a lot of fuel left." Saying that, he looked at Song Jiu and said, "Didn't you say that there are technicians on the island?" Take him here, and I'll figure out how to fix the turbine. ”

"There's no need." Song Jiu glanced at the fuel gauge and said, "We have a ship, just bother you to infuse this ship's fuel oil." ”

"The yacht?" A hint of mockery flashed in Xiao Xu's eyes, and he sneered: "It's a long way from here to our island, and if everything is normal, it will take at least four or five days, and the yacht can't have a draft, what if something happens." ”

"You have your own way of dealing with the situation." Song Jiu looked indifferent, glanced at the silent Xiao Zhuang, and sneered back at the other party, "At least we took that yacht through the storm, and we didn't run aground or hit the rocks." ”

Xiao Xu had a little anger on his face, but it was not easy to show it too obviously, so he had to look away and look at the young man surnamed Sun beside him.

"Do as he says." The young man surnamed Sun was expressionless, sent Xiao Xu away with a simple sentence, yawned, and turned around to leave the cabin.

The rest of the people stood still, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

After a long time, Fang Fei raised his head, looked at Xiao Zhuang with a dazed face, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Ah Jin." ”

"Okay." Xiao Zhuang nodded silently, took a few steps, looked back at Song Jiu and Wu Wentao, thought for a while, and said: "You are a friend of Jimbo, then I am willing to treat you as a friend, I know that trust takes time, but I also need space to build trust, I hope you understand." ”

"Each other, each other." Song Jiu pursed his lips, looking at Fang Fei's face, and nodded reluctantly.

"Also, it's better for you to change your attitude, I can understand that it's your personality, but the current situation on the island is tense, and you have to pay attention to everything you say and do." Xiao Zhuang took two steps forward, his face became serious, and he said: "Since you are now the boss here, I hope you can face up to this cooperation, and besides, we are not your enemies." ”

"As you said, we are just cooperating, and my words and deeds only represent me personally, and nothing else has to do with it." Song Jiu scoffed at this, after a long conversation in the stilted building before, he was already very disappointed in the establishment at the moment, if it weren't for the persuasion of Wu Wentao and Song Yao, he really wanted to give up his previous plan and not wade into this troubled water.

Xiao Zhuang stared at him for a long time, and finally swallowed back the words on his lips, shook his head with a wry smile, and said with emotion: "I wonder why Jimbo would be friends with someone like you." ”

"Don't be surprised, Jimbo also said that you and him are friends of life and death." Song Jiu laughed dryly twice, and he didn't suffer at all.

Fang Fei tried to dissuade the two, but Wu Wentao gave him a look, shook his head slightly, and signaled not to pay attention to it.

Xiao Zhuang was stunned, his eyes became a little playful, and he asked tentatively: "You mean, Jin Bo is unladylike when he meets someone?" ”

"Normal, everyone is blind sometimes." Song Jiu has never been a person who likes to quarrel, today he is really angry in the stilted building, and he can't do it, so he has to sacrifice a rare lip service, seeing that this kid is still going to fight with himself, Song Jiu suddenly felt a little bored, shook his head, and walked straight past him, without looking back.

Wu Wentao and Song Yao glanced at each other, and sighed in unison, while the captain and surveyor were pretending to be dumb the whole time, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Wu Wentao walked to Xiao Zhuang's side, patted him on the shoulder, played a very rare red face, and said earnestly: "We have reached an agreement between us, let's speak with actions and facts, trust can be established, and mustard can be eliminated, right?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Zhuang sighed, and said in his heart that there was finally a reasonable person here, and he was comforted in his heart, and nodded heavily: "You are right." ”

Wu Wentao smiled kindly at him and secretly scolded a fool in his heart.

……

A group of people returned to the coast one after another, Song Jiu took the first step, I don't know where he went, and the rest of the people walked towards the big canteen under the leadership of Fang Fei, Song Yao fell behind, frowning and thinking about something, when he suddenly felt that there was a heat around him, and the afterglow was swept away, but it was the grandson who came over.

Seeing Song Yao's slightly frowning brows, Sun Houji was a little embarrassed, smiled sneeringly, and took the initiative to say, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to say a few words to you." ”

Song Yao didn't squeak, secretly wondering about his intentions, in fact, she originally planned to take the initiative to talk, but she didn't expect the other party to be one step ahead of her.

"Maybe it's my delusion..."Sun Houji touched his nose, slowed down and walked side by side with Song Yao, and said suspiciously: "It seems that you have been observing me since we went to the island?" ”

Song Yao's face did not change, and said lightly: "It's an illusion." ”

"Huh." Sun Houji didn't think it was wrong, looked down at the fine sand under his feet, was silent for a while, and said, "I think you are very familiar, so, have we met?" ”

Song Yao was stunned when she heard this, and immediately stopped, squinting at this tall and thin young man, and was very surprised in her heart: He also thinks I am familiar? Did you really meet him?

"I'm not sure." Song Yao shook her head and said, "I don't have any impression of your name. ”

"So, can you tell me your name?" Sun Jiji also stopped, the doubts in his eyes became thicker, and he said tentatively: "Maybe I have an impression." ”

Song Yao pursed her lips and said softly, "Song Yao." ”

"Song Yao..."Sun Houji's eyelids drooped, repeating two words, as if he had thought of something, turned his head to look at the mangrove forest in the distance, and many fragmented pictures of the past flashed in his eyes.

"Maybe it's a mistake, I'm a public face." Song Yao smiled, Fang Fei and the others had already walked far away, and they were standing in the distance waiting for them.

"Song Yao!" Sun Jiji suddenly gasped, turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at her directly, and said in surprise: "You are Song Yao!?" ”

Song Yao was taken aback by his sudden reaction, frowned slightly, saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, you know me?" ”

"Oh my God, it's you! Fuck, how could I have forgotten about you! Sun Ji's whole person suddenly became excited, and he was suddenly far from the image of the young man who was calm in the city before.

Song Yao became more and more confused when she heard this, and when she saw him laughing and sighing, she couldn't help but feel a little displeased, wondering if this guy was making fun of himself?

"You don't remember me?" Sun Houji's tense expression dissipated, a smile faded on his face, and he pointed to his face in a serious way, and asked, "Don't have any impression at all?" ”

"I... I'm not sure..."Song Yao still didn't remember, although she was very familiar, she didn't seem to be able to match the number with someone she knew.

Sun Jiji smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "It's normal, I don't remember the situation at that time, and I'm normal...... I didn't expect that. ”

"What didn't you expect?" Song Yao frowned and asked.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, I didn't expect you to really wake up!"

"Huh?" Song Yao was stunned, vaguely thinking of something.

"When I separated from Jiang He, you were still unconscious!"
