Chapter 21 Another Guest
The rectangular table in the color of wood was covered with a pale blue patterned tablecloth, and the tableware on the table was of the same color, a large round white porcelain plate with six yellow poached eggs, a rectangular plate with slices of bread neatly stacked, a slightly smaller diamond-shaped plate with sliced ham sausages, a glass of milk in front of each person, and the most attractive thing was a fruit bowl with two bunches of purple grapes hanging from them.
Wang Weigang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, forcibly controlling himself not to look at the table, and was secretly surprised in his heart: since the end of the world, the food has become less and less, even if he is the captain, he has to eat a limited amount now, and each meal is only six or seven points full, which is already much stronger than others, but these people in front of him can eat such a hearty breakfast. No, Xia Yongjia had to go fishing a few days ago, and I couldn't see anyone in the past two days, could it be that Lin Rantong brought these foods? Wang Weigang's two thick black sword eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he forgot to answer Lin Rantong's words.
"Captain Wang?" Lin Rantong shouted again.
Looking at the slightly puzzled look of the woman in front of him, Wang Weigang couldn't help but feel hot on his face, and simply said generously: "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten such a rich breakfast for a long time." β
"Then you eat a little more, you're welcome." Lin Rantong got up and poured him a glass of milk as she spoke, and by the way, she gave him a poached egg clip with chopsticks, and gave the remaining five to others, so that she would have no poached eggs herself, looking at Wang Weigang's unnatural look, Lin Rantong smiled slightly, stopped looking at him, and slowly fed Anran to eat eggs.
"Mom, I'll eat it myself." An Ran shook his head dissatisfied, stretched out his chubby little hand to take the chopsticks, Lin Rantong pinched An Ran's little face, "Good baby, then you have to hold it steady." β
Xia Yongjia saw that Wang Weigang didn't say anything, and said, "Captain Wang, you come today-"
Wang Weigang regained his composure when he heard this, sat up straight and said: "Xiao Xia, I came today to ask you sincerely, do you want to join us, don't worry, as long as you come, you will be the vice captain!" β
Xia Yongjia smiled: "Captain Wang, you know that I don't like this, I like to be free, and besides, I don't have that much abilityββ"
"Xiao Xia," Wang Weigang interrupted Xia Yongjia's words, "I know you think I want to be the boss here, and I want to pull you into the gang to overpower Chen Feng, in fact, I have already seen it by now, what rights, status, those are all floating clouds, what is the most important thing now?" It's food! Don't talk about anything without food. β
Wang Weigang took a sip of milk and continued: "Now our two teams are fighting for food, but the food in this unit is limited, and there will always be a time to finish eating, what should we do then?" Xiao Xia, can you really bear to watch these familiar or unfamiliar colleagues starve to death? Wang Weigang stared at Xia Yongjia's eyes tightly, his expression was extremely sincere.
Xia Yongjia was slightly shocked, and said with some hesitation: "But it's useless for you to look for me, I can't conjure up food." These days, watching the constant disputes and fights between the two teams, Xia Yongjia is hiding far away, he has an idea, he must take Liu Yu to live well, and wait for Lin Rantong to come back, so as to live up to the hopes of his parents and Liu Yuan's entrustment, so he can hide as far as he can from these troubles, but now, when Wang Weigang asked him so sincerely, he finally wavered.
Seeing this, Wang Weigang continued: "I know that you don't have any food, and even if you do, it's not enough for so many people to eat all the time. But you're a supernatural being, I know that there are many magical things about supernatural beings, and if there is a way for us people to live, it is in you! As he spoke, he looked at Lin Rantong and Tang Tang without a trace.
Xia Yongjia smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Captain Wang, don't wear such a high hat for me, I don't have any other skills except for being able to fish more conveniently." β
"Captain Wang, since you know that staying here will run out of food sooner or later, why don't you leave, why don't we go to the Pearl Base together?" Tang Tang said.
Lin Rantong lowered his head and peeled off the skin of the grapes little by little, fed An Ran, and at the same time handed a tissue to Lin Dashan, who had grape juice at the corners of his mouth, without raising his head.
Wang Weigang smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Tang Tang and said, "Miss Tang may not know, my mother is over sixty years old, and she is paralyzed in bed and can't move, so it's impossible for me to leave." Those who stay now are there for a reason, and those who can go have long since left. β
Several people were silent, and only the sound of An Ran and Lin Dashan eating was heard.
"Captain Wang, when Yan Ming persuaded Yongjia yesterday, it wasn't the reason you said." Lin Rantong said softly.
She wanted to see if this Wang Weigang really figured out whether he was thinking about the people who survived or for his own ambitions.
Wang Weigang turned his head to look at Lin Rantong, saw her phoenix eyes slightly raised, looked at him calmly, and said seriously: "You are right, what Yan Ming said yesterday is also one of them." Now we have less than forty people alive here, but we are divided into two teams to kill each other, I have the heart to unite everyone to fight the zombies together, find food, but the ability is not enough to convince the people, so I have to ask you to come. β
"Even so, you will still face a crisis of running out of food in the future?" Tang Tangxin said bluntly.
"Miss Tang is right, but that's a matter for the future, now if we huddle together, don't waste time on fighting, and gather all the food we can search for, I estimate that it will last at least three or four months, not like now, because there are two T1s in Residential Area D, and a single team can't go, and many people are starting to go hungry."
Originally, there were four districts, A was an industrial area, B was inhabited by unit workers, C was inhabited by foreign vendors, and D was mainly inhabited by some farmers. In this, only the farmer's home will put a large amount of grain, but it is in this area that two T1s appeared, which is the news that paid the price of three lives.
Wang Weigang and Chen Feng are mutants, and if they work together, it is possible to eliminate T1, but the two are not convinced by each other, Wang Weigang proposed to cooperate, and Chen Feng thought that Wang Weigang didn't know what trick he was doing, and he was even more jealous of him. So things froze, Area D couldn't go, and there was little food in other areas, so the two teams fought many times to grab food, and the more they fought, the more angry they became.
In this way, Xia Yongjia, an anomaly, has become the key point to solve the problem.
Since he found out that Xia Yongjia is an anomaly, he has been waiting for Xia Yongjia to join their team composed of employees, but he didn't expect to wait for a few days and still see no movement, a few days ago he could still see him go out fishing, but he couldn't even see anyone in the past two days, seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, he finally couldn't hold his breath and came to the door.
Xia Yongjia's expression changed, and after thinking about it for a few minutes, he said: "Captain Wang, in this way, you let me discuss it with Ran Tong and them, and I will definitely give you an answer when I have the result." β
Wang Wei just saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and he didn't want to put pressure on a few people to make the result backfire, he picked up the cup and drank the milk, stood up and stretched out his hand to Xia Yongjia and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news." β
Several people stood up to see off the guests, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door, listening to the sound of "dong dong", several people looked at each other, who could this be?
