ACT 154: Prelude
acT154: The prelude morning light shimmers through the screen window, and a little bit of light is sprinkled on the side of Song Jiu's face, reflecting a pair of eyes that can't see emotional fluctuations.
Song Jiu woke up in the early hours of the morning, quietly listening to Luo Yu tell what happened before and after, and from time to time he said 'um', without saying more, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing him like this, Luo Yu didn't say anything more, changed his medicine according to Dr. Zhong's instructions, got up and left the dusty guest room.
Wu Wentao is not in serious trouble, the benefits of the living corpse are particularly advantageous in this situation, he slept and got up in good spirits early in the morning; Jin Bo is also okay, like Song Jiu, mainly skin trauma, he rushed to death, trying to run out of the downward passage, but unfortunately the passage collapsed the fastest, avoiding the head-on impact of the air waves, and at the same time, he also buried himself in the ground.
Fortunately, Wu Wentao chose to turn back the same way, if he took a detour and left, whether he could dig out Jin Bo still has to say.
Song Jiu's severed finger palm was injured again, and at the same time as it was swept away by the air waves, the load-bearing tube above his head fell violently, hitting the back of his hand impartially.
According to Dr. Zhong, Song Jiu's hand, even if it is not wasted, will have to leave serious sequelae - unable to make a fist.
The muscles and bones are broken and misaligned, and with his ability and current resources, there is no way to correct the treatment, even if it is left in the past, this kind of injury can only be healed little by little by massage.
Song Jiu didn't care at all, what was one hand compared to Lao Lin and Liu Yan? Regarding Ming Junwei's situation, Luo Yu didn't say much, mainly because she didn't know the specific process, at that time, they risked their lives to stop the walking corpses and help Song Yao delay time, but only Song Yao and Lu Qian left the store.
At that time, the situation was critical, and several people had no time to ask, and when they returned to the temple, the two women did not say a word about what happened in the shop, except for the elusiveness in their eyes, which made people confused.
The roundabout capsized, Yinuo was captured, and more than half of the dead and wounded...... In comparison, Hou Xiong's appearance before death seems insignificant.
The door was pushed open, and the acne girl sneaked into her head, and when she saw Song Jiu's eyes open, she walked in boldly with confidence.
"How does it feel?" The acne girl was holding a bowl of steaming gruel in her hand, which was the food that Chef Niangjia found in the Xiangji Kitchen, I don't know if it was Lao Lin's private collection or Hou Xiong's later finding.
Song Jiushu stretched his brows, pulled the corners of his mouth to say hello, and sat up with one hand on the dry and hard bed.
"Eat something." The acne girl had a little melancholy in her eyes, she couldn't grasp the state of Song Jiu at this time, from the beginning of the two meeting to the present, not long or short two months, at the beginning Song Jiu was a small worker in the chef Niangjia, and it didn't take long to transform and become the dominant one
"Apocalyptic Warlords", and now ...... It seems to be just a mediocre wounded.
"Not hungry." Song Jiu shook his head, it wasn't that he was hypocritical, he really didn't have much appetite, he was more willing to stare at the steaming heat than swallowing the gruel into his stomach, that kind of warmth from the inside out was what he needed most now.
"You have to eat if you're not hungry." The acne girl pushed the bowl in front of him and said, "I know that you are uncomfortable, your body is the capital of the revolution, and you are not a living corpse, your body will collapse." After that, he glanced at Song Jiu, who was already indifferent, and sighed: "If you don't eat, don't eat, I'll help you go to the main hall, everyone is waiting for you." ”
"Wait for me? Do what? Song Jiu's eyes changed, and he said strangely: "Something happened again?" ”
"Everyone is discussing the way back, your sister, Wu Wentao, Jin Bo, there is still one less you." The acne girl shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "If you don't go, they'll come." ”
"I'll go." Song Jiu nodded, put aside the hand that the acne girl came to support, and smiled dryly: "No." ”…… The sky was a little dark in the early morning, and the explosion last night kicked up a cloud of dust, and the flames have not been completely extinguished until now, and for a while in the future, the sky on this side of the ancient city will never be able to return to that clear.
The temple is still the same temple, and the flower beds planted by Lao Lin in the past three years have been destroyed by acid rain, but the potted plants under the porch have not been disturbed, and it can be seen that someone has watered them, and they are still alive and vibrant, and the fragrance is scattered, and the cool air in the early morning smells refreshing.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, everyone was there, Song Yao and a few people were sitting in the middle, as if they were discussing something, and the people on the periphery were also participating, but their interest was not high, and they all looked gloomy and bleak.
Seeing Song Jiu coming in, everyone stopped talking and vacated a futon for him.
"How? Are there any other discomforts other than trauma? Dr. Chung performed his duties as a doctor and inquired about his physical condition as soon as possible.
"It's fine." Song Jiutou smiled gratefully, took the cigarette thrown by Wu Wentao, his eyes swept over everyone, and asked, "What are you discussing?" ”
"Back Road." Song Yao's slender hand gently pressed her forehead, and said in a low voice: "The walking corpse is still active, the temple is not safe, and it can't stay for a long time." ”
"Come with me." Jin Bo was wrapped in a circle of gauze on his head, his lean body was straight, his face was resentful, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This debt must be recovered!" It can be seen that Jimbo is a little emotional, and it is not difficult to understand that after three years of absence, he reunited by chance, and before he even had time to talk about the old days, two loud noises ruined everything.
Song Jiu didn't know him, but Song Yao and the others knew his temperament, after a few years of precipitation, his recklessness did not diminish a little, and his anger became more and more rising.
But what Jin Bo said was right, even moderates like Song Yao and Lu Qian were really angry this time.
Wu Wentao didn't speak, he was smoking silently, he was not as good as Song Jiu now, and there was only one Doctor Zhong left under his hand, a serious commander of the light pole.
Jin Bo didn't have a good impression of him, and under Ming Junwei's mediation, the two didn't care about anyone, but after this time, Jin Bo's attitude towards him changed slightly.
Originally, the young swordsman was a person with clear grievances, Wu Wentao carried him out of the passage, this is a great grace to save his life, there is nothing to say.
"Yinuo has been arrested." Song Yao sighed, relayed what Hou Xiong had last told her, and frowned, "Why did she take Yinuo away." Wu Wentao snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows: "Caroline is LES, there is no special reason, so it seems that Lao Tian is estimated to have been killed." ”
"......" Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Don't hesitate." Jimbo was full of anger, crushed the cigarette butt hard, and said hatefully: "I have people, I have guns, I have boats, isn't it the Gobi Desert?" Damn, what if we just kill back? I can't swallow this breath! This revenge must be avenged! Jimbo's resentful scolding echoed through the hall, and the people around him hung their heads and remained silent.
At the end of the day, only a few people knew about what happened back then, and for non-combatants who survived, the lives were already in the way, and although the casualties were painful, what could it be?
They have already seen the power of the enemy, and if they don't hide, they will go against the current? Is this bloody or dizzy?
Song Yao and Lu Qian exchanged a look, and said in a low voice, "Wait." ”
"What are you waiting for?" Jin Bo's face changed, he became very dazed, and muttered, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?" Why wait? ”
"Wait two more days." Song Yao slowly exhaled and said, "Two days later...... Let's go. After a pause, without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, he continued: "Everyone, things have come to this point, there are some things that must be made clear, the other party's strength is very strong, and in comparison, we really don't have any capital to fight...... Everyone is here today, everyone decides, go and stay as you like, there is no need to force yourself. Song Yao said a little messy, obviously a little absent-minded, but the meaning was very clear, the grievances between Caroline and Caroline, said that the big one was a war between humans and living corpses, and that the small one was a personal grudge, no matter which one it was, judging from the current situation of the team, it was undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone.
In the past, everyone lived around the island, and it was understandable to work together against the outside world, but now if they take the initiative to die, it is not necessary for many people.
Song Yao and the others are on the same path through thick and thin, and they are willing to sacrifice and fight for each other, and others do not have this obligation. Jimbo is still stuck in
"Waiting for two days" did not come back to his senses, Wu Wentao still did not say a word, and the eyes of the rest of the people were focused on Song Jiu, as if they wanted to hear what he meant.
Song Jiu lowered his head and thought about it, sorted out the messy fragments in his mind, brewed it, and said slowly: "Some time ago, I had a chat with Brother Ming......" Everyone stopped whispering when they heard this, and turned their eyes around.
"It's about how the roundabouts survive, about how to deal with 'them' that are becoming more and more unscrupulous." Song Jiu licked his lips and said softly: "Walking corpses, living corpses, everyone is no stranger, and everyone has a general understanding of those who invaded the roundabout twice and three times...... Revenge or rebellion cannot be done with the strength we have. The faces of the people in the circle changed, Jin Bo frowned, and was about to speak, when Fang Fei on the side pulled his sleeve and signaled to listen to Song Jiu first.
Song Yao and the others were also a little stunned, and they didn't know what Song Jiu wanted to express. Only Luo Yu and the others looked as usual, for them, Song Jiu either didn't say it, since they said it, they must have a plan, at least they won't be untargeted.
"Personally......" Song Jiu's voice was calm and a little cold, swept the faces of a circle of people, and said lightly: "This account must be settled." Jimbo's frown eased and he nodded heavily.
"I don't know as much as you know about those people, Brother Ming told me something, and mentioned one thing. I think if we're talking about revenge, we should consider this path. "Including many people who have nothing to do with themselves, they also pricked up their ears, Song Jiu has a remarkable identity, he is not only Song Yao's younger brother, but also leads a team alone, Ming Junwei is no different from the guardian saint in their eyes, listening to Song Jiu's meaning, what tricks did Ming Junwei teach him a long time ago?
Song Jiu looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and said slowly: "Isn't there still a party in power?" ”
"......" Song Yao and Wu Wentao were stunned, with different expressions, as if they were a little disappointed.
"It just so happens that you are at sea, let's go to your place to rest first, and then go to the authorities to cooperate, with this behemoth no less than that foreign girl as a backing, our chances of winning can be a little more." Song Jiu didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and directly said his thoughts.
This is really not a whim, I talked to him about it last time, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, at that time, the island was full of vitality, as if it was going to rejuvenate the second spring, who would have thought that it would suddenly collapse and sink into the sand.
Jin Bo was particularly disappointed, and thought that Song Yao's younger brother could have some clever plan, but after a long time, he didn't say anything.
"Do the establishment have two things to say now, and besides, they were all driven to the sea back then, and it is estimated that people have long been accustomed to their own small lives, so why should they go out to fight Rca?" Jimbo sneered, shook his head and stopped talking.
"Jiujiu, you may not know much about the situation of these two families." Lucy softened the atmosphere and explained: "RCA is a wolf, the establishment is a tiger, and we are nothing. The reason why we got into troubled waters at the beginning was also by mistake, just like your sister said, we have no capital.
“
"No capital?" Song Jiu raised his eyebrows, and his face had a look of bamboo in his chest. Don't look at his face as usual now, in fact, the resentment and anger in his heart are no less than that of Jin Bolai, Liu Yan and Lao Lin are to him, just as Tong Ming Junwei and Xiao Wei are to Song Yao, Luo Yu and the others know that Song Wine's shortcomings and flaws will be reported, this time Yang Niu made such a big move, how could Song Wine give up?
It's just that the queue around the island has surged these days, and the old and new acquaintances have come together, and it seems that Song Jiu doesn't seem to like to show his face.
In fact, several people who have been in contact with Song wine have their own evaluations of Song wine, such as Wu Wentao, the turmoil in the cave made him know that this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Song Jiu's own mentality has also changed a lot in a short period of time, at first he found his sister and saw the thriving scene around the island, and he did feel a little slack in his heart, but the follow-up series of things came too quickly.
Meeting Hong's mother again evokes an unbearable black past, Mengfan's death shattered the last purity in his heart, and the death of Lao Lin and Liu Yan, the two partners, once again aroused his anger that was about to dissipate.
Then there is Ming Junwei, who was not very convinced at first, and later even got used to obeying orders, and the one-eyed dragon brought Song Jiu could not be expressed in words.
It's like a rookie in the rivers and lakes and a Shaolin sweeping monk drinking and chatting, not talking about martial arts moves, only talking about the wind and snow, intentionally or unintentionally, some things that seem to be insignificant are subtle, and the parties may not feel it.
Therefore, after waking up, Song Jiu did not sink into a huge failure and taste the bitter fruit, since he did not die, he had to do something.
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Song Jiu smiled, and his gaze drifted to Hui Hui, who was sitting behind.
"We have capital that no one can refuse!" Song Yao's eyes were piercing, looking at the auspicious and solemn ancient Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall, and the killing intent was decisive!
