Chapter 24 Saving others is saving oneself
Yang Xiaoqian smiled stiffly, took out his own Hongjiang, lit one, and threw one to Yu Qian. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Qian learned Yang Xiaoqian's movements decently, but he didn't smoke the cigarette into his lungs, and only dared to spit it out after passing it in his mouth.
"You're snorting."
"It makes no difference." Yu Qian spit out smoke to block his face and make it difficult to see clearly, "Since you have awakened your ability, now we can be regarded as official companions, right?" There are some things we have to make clear. ”
"You say."
Although it was a bit disgusting to say this, Yang Xiaoqian really felt in his heart that as soon as Yu Qian pouted his ass, he knew what shit he was going to pull, and even the answer was already conceived in his mind when he paused.
"You're smart, that's fine, but as far as I know, most smart people don't like to listen to people, especially when it comes to their own lives. And now that you have awakened a strong ability, you ......" Yu Qian didn't finish asking, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
Yang Xiaoqian laughed and said: "Guo Jia is smarter than Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang is smarter than Liu Bei, and I haven't seen them kill the lord and become the boss themselves." Smart people should know their position better, and now I am not suitable to be a leader - of course, you are not suitable, don't be angry Ha I just said that, we are too inexperienced. ”
"But experience can be accumulated, don't worry, I won't think about anything else, now we are a community of interests, I won't be stupid and fight." Yang Xiaoqian extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Why don't you do this, you are the master of the affairs of the awakened, and I am the master of the affairs of ordinary people?" ”
"I'm okay with that, all I need is the Awakened anyway." Yu Qian learned from Yang Xiaoqian to extinguish the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Why do you value those ordinary people so much?" ”
Yang Xiaoqian thought for a while and said, "There are many reasons, such as they can serve us; Some of them may have the expertise we need; They can assist us in our actions...... But at the end of the day, maybe I do have some hero complexes, and it's okay to help others and enjoy being a hero while doing what I can without hindering myself. ”
"Then what if the people you save don't make you happy, and they are dragging you back with you everywhere? Catch and feed the living corpses? Yu Qian laughed playfully.
"Then you need to say, grab it and do it...... Arresting and sinking the river and feeding the zombies is considered an enemy act, and I won't do it. Yang Xiaoqian originally wanted to say that he would be arrested for live experiments, but thinking about Yu Qian's tragic past, he hurriedly changed his words.
"By the way, what are your abilities?" Yu Qian opened his mouth to ask, although it was a little taboo to ask about other people's abilities directly, but only by understanding the abilities of teammates could he cooperate with the battle, and after asking, Yu Qian first explained: "My ability is metal control, you already know, before you asked me why it is easy to block bullets, but it is difficult to control bullets?" Well, my ability to control metal is constrained in two ways, the first is the mass, the more difficult it is for me, and the second is the volume, the smaller the volume I need to focus on, and the more laborious it is, and if the small metal object is still moving fast, it will be more difficult for me to control - I don't understand why. ”
"Because of kinetic energy." Yang Xiaoqian was stunned, and then puzzled, "According to you, the volume of the bullet is not large, and the discharging speed is very fast, how can you block it, and you can block it so much?" ”
Yu Qian smiled: "Because I don't need to care about them, haven't you noticed that every bullet hovers not far from us, if my reaction can really catch up with its discharging speed, why don't I just let them explode?" I've just been putting a barrier around me to repel foreign metals, and it doesn't take much of my energy. ”
"Like a magnetic barrier around you?" Yang Xiaoqian asked in surprise.
"That's right." Yu Qian said proudly, "I accidentally discovered this application a long time ago, and you told me before that I was reminded to use my ability to control the bullet trajectory, some abilities are not necessarily useless, but I didn't find the right way to use them." ”
Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a moment and decided to say his ability, since everyone is open and honest, it would be hypocritical to take it again. "My ability...... I don't know how to say it, but after breaking the chains, I saw a pitch-black giant, a humanoid creature, as if it was carrying me all the way back, and even lifted my dad along the way, don't you see? ”
"I can't see it, I thought your ability was flying or telekinesis." Yu Qian frowned, thinking about Yang Xiaoqian's strange ability.
"It feels a bit like a doppelganger, but its athleticism is very strong, and it can carry two people across such a long distance in such a short time, and its combat effectiveness will not be bad." Yu Qian said.
Yang Xiaoqian agreed: "If others can't see it, then my ability should be said to be strong enough to explode." ”
"Can you command it?" Yu Qian asked again.
Yang Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Yes, it feels like he is an independent life form, but he has no autonomous consciousness." It only takes me a thought and he'll execute it on his own, not me. It's also strange to say, but after the ability was awakened, I naturally learned a lot of information, and I used it like an arm, like instinct. ”
"It's not strange, didn't I tell you before, this ability is a part of people, it is something you are born with, but you can only use it when the will of the planet unlocks your ability."
"Yes." Yang Xiaoqian snorted, unwilling to continue the topic, got up and said: "Let's go, eat something first, I'll summon it when I have the strength, and study and train the use of my ability more, it may take some time, but it's necessary." ”
Yu Qian deeply believes that understanding the use and limitations of one's own abilities is extremely important in battle.
Pushing open the crimson wooden door, Yang Xiaoqian followed Yu Qian and walked down the spiral stairs without hurrying, on the stairs you can see that the whole house has a total of four floors, using the decoration style of a generation of wealthy businessmen along the coast in the nineties, a spiral staircase is located in the center of the surrounding, standing on the stairs and poking out your head can clearly see the living room on the first floor.
"The house is big enough, and the decoration is poor enough." Yang Xiaoqian complained, how can people who own such a real estate not have the money to redecorate it once.
Walking to the living room on the first floor, the fragrance of vegetables wafted from the dining room on the right side of the living room, and a few plates of home-cooked food were placed on the turntable on the large round table.
In the living room, Wang Li sits on the sofa smoking a cigarette, next to a doctor in a white coat with only one shoe, and the TV is on but only rustling and a gray screen.
There was a family of three squatting next to the entrance, shivering like frozen chickens and not daring to raise their heads.
"There's no TV signal either?" Yang Xiaoqian sat next to Wang Li casually and glanced at him, "Yo, the best and the world, good cigarettes, hundreds of packs of tobacco before the price limit, right?" ”
Wang Li politely laughed and handed over a cigarette, he had seen Yang Xiaoqian's superpowers, this kind of capable person was not something he could offend, he was a person who had been in the society for more than ten years, and he didn't let people hack to death on the street early in this eyesight, not to mention that now the zombies in the city are in danger everywhere, and only by following Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian can they save their lives.
"Yes, it's the same with any station, no signal." Wang Li sighed and said, it stands to reason that at this time, an emergency notice should also be issued to warn citizens to stay at home and not go out to wait for rescue, but there is no news on radio, television, or radio, which is not at all like Mayor Liu's style.
Yang Xiaoqian took the cigarette, but waved his hand to block Wang Li's hand stretched out by the lighter, he didn't want to smoke the second one just after smoking one, and wanted to learn his father's common posture at home and pin it behind his ear, but thinking that this action was a little indecent and inconsistent with his style of pursuing style, he still took it down awkwardly, sandwiched between his index finger and middle finger and put it like that.
"Boss Wang, do you believe it now?"
"I believe it." Wang Li had palpitations, fortunately, he took all his eldest wife and little wife to Paradise Island after getting the news of the flu, and fortunately, he didn't have a single tendon to raise the bar with Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian.
"Then let's work together, shall we?" Yang Xiaoqian smiled and said, "I'll explain the situation to you carefully later, I need your cooperation." ”
"Yes, yes." Wang Li nodded again and again.
Yang Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, this Boss Wang is a sensible person, and it is difficult to run Paradise Island without him.
Don't underestimate the ordinary people on this paradise island, maybe they are not very useful in the face of the corpse tide without training, but as long as they are managed well, they can provide the resources needed for the development of the entire base in other aspects: knowledge, manpower, experience, etc.
It can be one person who can help one person, but only another group of people can help one group. In the absence of these ordinary people to build a base, Yang Xiaoqian may be able to be a lonely hero, and he can save a hundred and a thousand people, and then what? Let them run behind their ass and be a fugitive army that attracts the tide of corpses, or leave them behind and let them die and die?
It is still the early stage of the disaster, and after two or three days, the displaced people are unable to sleep at night, and those who are left behind are stranded at home without food.
The city will lose a large number of residents with professional skills, and the education, finance, healthcare, construction, administration, and other systems will completely collapse.
Inevitably, city functions will collapse, with water, electricity, city cleaning, all kinds of communications, public transportation all shut down, and a few rainstorms can keep the water on the streets up to the shins.
Panic and fear can depress the city and turn this steel jungle into a dark forest that eats people.
When the time comes, will you be the medieval man who bakes a fire in front of the fireplace?
In order to achieve the desired goal, in order to save more compatriots, in order to build his own power, in order to ensure the survival of himself and his father, and in order to improve the quality of life on the basis of safety, Yang Xiaoqian needs a miniature city, which can only be expanded with a foundation.
And without those people on Paradise Island, Yang Xiaoqian, a young man who can only talk on paper, can't do anything.
Without these people, what can Yang Xiaoqian and the three of them do? Surviving on an island?
"The last dish." Yang Yan walked out of the kitchen with a plate of good-looking sauce loin, and greeted Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian, "Come and eat, Xiaoqian, you haven't eaten for a day." ”
Originally, he didn't feel anything, but after Yang Yan mentioned this, the empty and sour hunger pain in his stomach immediately rushed up.
"Let's eat first, talk as we eat." Yang Xiaoqian put down his cigarette and called out to Yu Qian, Wang Li, and the doctor who was sitting on the side without saying a word walked to the table.
