Chapter Ninety-One: The Truth of the Past
Chapter Ninety-One: The Truth That Was
The car was moving at a fast speed, like an arrow off the string. Straight. Insert. Enter this quiet mountain village. In order to prevent possible dangers, Ye Qiang stood on the top of the car before entering the village, and was on guard cautiously.
His caution was clearly superfluous, though. Until the car stopped, Ye Qiang failed to find even a single zombie. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some black blood in some places, he even wondered if he had found a "peach blossom source".
After a simple search, Ye Qiang was sure that there were no zombies around, so he asked everyone in the team to get out of the car and prepare dinner. Perhaps because they stayed in the dim carriage for most of the day, everyone after getting off the train looked quite excited.
"We're resting here today! The ladies prepared dinner, and the men worked a little harder and patrolled the village. With the mentality of being cautious and not making a big mistake, Ye Qiang asked everyone to patrol again. Even if you don't find out the anomalies in the village, you have to make sure that there are no zombies inside.
As soon as Ye Qiang's words came out, many people became dissatisfied. This village seems to be safe, but who knows if a zombie will suddenly pop up. Who wants to take an adventure if they can stay safely. But no one dares to say this idea.
Taking the lead, Ye Qiang was engrossed in looking for the traces of the zombies. To be sure, there must have been zombies in this village, but they all disappeared for some reason. It is precisely because of this that Ye Qiang is quite taboo.
Zombies don't open doors, and people from more than 100 households in a village can't all be outside when the white fog erupts. Moreover, there are still some traces of life in some houses, and Ye Qiang can be sure that at least three days ago, there were still living people in this village.
"What the hell is going on!" The unknown is the biggest horror, Ye Qiang, who originally wanted to train here, dispelled this idea almost instantly. The monster that can make a village of zombies disappear is afraid that it is not weaker than him, and such an opponent is not afraid of being alone, but he is dragging his family now, and this is inevitably more worried.
Time ticked by, and before it was completely dark, the men finally made it all over the village. After making sure that there were no zombies, Ye Qiang decided to stay here for one night and leave immediately tomorrow morning.
After enjoying a delicious dinner, Ye Qiang assigned everyone a vigil task, and then took a pile of firewood to the center of the courtyard. The visions of this village show that there is a tricky existence here, and everyone in the convoy can sleep, but the strongest one cannot.
Ignite the firewood, and the bright light of the fire will illuminate most of the courtyard. Survivors who do not have the habit of going to bed early gather together in twos and threes by the light of the fire. Relying on chatting to arrange the few comfortable times, I don't know who took the lead, I actually took out a playing card and played the landlord. The cards were called to the ground and made a "pop" sound, attracting many onlookers.
Looking at this scene quietly, the corners of Ye Qiang's mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile. He didn't hate this kind of life, and such a comfortable scene could remind him of the days before the disaster, and let his pretended strong heart get a little relaxation.
Don't look at the reasonable and well-founded appearance when he scolded Meng Xiaoqian, but in fact, he also misses his daily life. At that time, he could stay in front of the computer all day and devote himself to the virtual world as he pleased. The benefits brought to him by the live broadcast are enough for him to live most of his life in style, and he doesn't have to think about his future like most high school students. A lot of time can be squandered by him, and he can enjoy the beauty of life to the fullest.
But when the disaster struck, everything changed. He has never even slaughtered a chicken, knocked zombies to death, killed the living, and his hands are stained with blood. The boundaries between good and evil became more and more blurred in his mind, and profit and survival became the first motivation for his actions.
"But go and see?" While Ye Qiang was sitting silently, Lin Qiaoqiao came to his side at some point. It's obviously a bland sentence, but it gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
This is a girl who can't be annoyed, but Ye Qiang has too many questions about her. So Ye Qiang didn't pay attention to her at all, as if he didn't hear it.
Seeing Ye Qiang's performance like this, Lin Qiaoqiao's heart rose a little funny. But then, as if she had thought of something, she restrained the smile on the corner of her mouth. "You have something you want to ask me! Feel...... This kind of desire to stop talking has happened many times! ”
"You...... What is the relationship with Lin Cuicui, why do you deliberately approach me! Finding that there was a sense of honesty in Lin Cuicui's tone, Ye Qiang did not hesitate to say the question in his heart. He had been holding back this question for a long time, he had wanted to ask it since the day Lin Cuicui died, but he had never been able to face it.
And now he feels like he can, or rather, his mindset has changed and he is trying to face it. Today is a good opportunity for him to ask all his questions.
"Is there any reason why you care so much about this? What can I do if I know that I am Lin Cuicui's cousin, and want to make amends to the living? Or guilt! People have been dead for that long, does it work? Lin Qiaoqiao's voice was faintly cold, and her beautiful eyes were full of contempt.
"Since Lin Cuicui is your relative, why did you ...... when you were at school?"
"You want to ask me, why aren't you sad when your relatives die in front of you, why do you deliberately talk to you? Pretend that nothing happened! Looking directly into Ye Qiang's eyes, Lin Qiaoqiao's eyes flashed with anger.
For some reason, Ye Qiang suddenly felt unspeakable pressure. After staggering his gaze for a moment, he couldn't help but turn his head, but Lin Qiaoqiao pulled his collar and forced Ye Qiang to look at her.
The distance between the two was so close that they could feel each other's breath. The faint aroma from the girl's body stimulated Ye Qiang's sense of smell and made people feel charming. For a moment, Ye Qiang seemed to be moved.
"Actually, I've known you for a long time, but you don't know!" One sentence made Ye Qiang's heart tremble slightly, and the superfluous thoughts disappeared in an instant.
"The first time I heard your name was when I was a freshman in high school, and I went to look for my sister that day, only to find that she was fascinated by watching anime. I'm curious as to why the sister of the honor student would focus on this kind of thing to pass the time. During the chat, I learned that my sister was watching anime to discuss the plot with a boy. I've been silently following you ever since! But that kind of attention is limited to taking a second look at it usually, and the real opportunity for me to get close to you is my sister's death! ”
"Lin Cuicui's death!?" After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Ye Qiang's eyes widened, and his intuition told him that there might be a reason behind Lin Cuicui's death that he didn't know.
"You know what? On the way to the office, how many zombies you attract to rush out first! You only know that you rush forward with your head, and how can you ever think about the danger behind you. Hearing this, Ye Qiang's cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, and many questions that he had never thought of came to his heart.
"These hidden dangers are all solved by my sister! At that time, Jiang Chao had obviously turned back, and several of us had a great chance to break out together. But because of you, my sister rushed out directly, and I couldn't pull it. Because of your rashness, my sister took the initiative to slow down and attract the attention of the zombies, and you can survive, it is completely because your sister exchanged her own life for it! ”
