Chapter 42: New Questions
"Bang, bang......"
The firewood in the fire in the dark small room kept bursting, and Liu Lifan, who had barely eaten a bowl of porridge, finally regained some strength. But the spirit recovered, but the physical injuries could not be recovered so quickly, especially the stab through the belly that the iron monkey gave him at the end, even though Liu Fen had already done emergency treatment for him with professional techniques, but at this time his stomach still hurt heartbreakingly as soon as he moved.
And Wang Chao had already woken up from the nightmare, looking at Liu Lifan and the two didn't know what to say, the three of them sat quietly around the fire.
"Huh, Wang Chao, what are you going to do next?"
Liu Lifan tried to let out a long breath slowly, breaking the silence with a low voice.
"Me?" Wang Chao glanced at his left hand and laughed miserably, "Heh, what else can I do now?" ”
"What should I do," Liu Lifan looked at Wang Chao indifferently, "My injuries are much worse than yours, don't be so depressed." ”
"But what else can I do if I'm like this? How can one hand survive in the last days? ”
Liu Lifan glanced at him lightly, "Consider going with us?" ”
"If you're like this, it's not certain whether you'll survive. Besides, even if you recover, can you take me with you? Wang Chao smiled miserably and shook his head.
"I told you not to be so depressed, I was injured since I was a child, and I can wake up this time, God definitely doesn't want me to die. Ahem...... But I'll have to wait a while to leave, and I don't know how long it will take for my injury to heal. ”
Liu Lifan couldn't help coughing heavily, and reached out to get the water cup on the side, but Jian Qiu quickly picked it up and handed it to him.
"What did you do before?"
Liu Lifan took a sip of water gently, the water was still warm, because Jian Qiu had just boiled it for him. But he didn't dare to drink too much now, in his words, for fear of going in from his mouth and coming out of his stomach.
"The truck driver, I've been running for four or five years."
"Old driver?"
"It's okay, in the past few years, I have been making money by pulling goods to support my family."
"Then you can continue to drive from now on."
Liu Lifan smiled lightly and handed the water cup in his hand to Jian Qiu.
"You mean, you're willing to let me go with you?" Wang Chao raised his head in slight surprise and looked into Liu Lifan's eyes.
"Of course, but I'll have to stay here for a while." Liu Lifan nodded lightly indifferently.
"That's okay, although I can't do anything else like this, but I'm still confident that I'm okay with my old job."
Wang Chao seemed to have found the value of his existence in this last world for a while, and confidently raised his head and patted his chest with his right hand.
"Hey, Brother Liu, to be honest, if you can be good, I really want to follow you. When you killed the Iron Monkey last night, you were so powerful, I would have been scared to death if I had changed. ”
Wang Chao looked at Liu Lifan, and the admiration in his eyes was self-evident.
"What," Liu Lifan shook his head modestly, "At that time, I thought that I was infected with corpse poison and was about to become a zombie, so I thought that I wouldn't be able to live anyway, so I might as well kill the iron monkey desperately, who knew that I would not only kill it, but also survive." ”
"But," Liu Lifan turned his head to look at Jian Qiu, "I can't move at all during this time, and our supplies have to rely on you." ”
"No problem, you can rest well, you have been seriously injured twice since you came out to protect me, and you will leave the rest to me."
Jian Qiu nodded firmly, according to Liu Lifan, it would be impossible to act again in a month or two, let alone fight hard in the last days. Fortunately, she found two grocery stores around today, and although there was some danger in the middle, it was generally not very difficult to reach.
In the following days, Liu Lifan had to lie in the small room for more than a week before he could force himself to come out and walk around and bask in the sun. And Jian Qiu took on the survival of the three of them during this time, Liu Lifan didn't say anything, and Wang Chao couldn't help much when searching for supplies, so everything could only rely on herself. Fortunately, the various factories here are closely fitted, and the grocery store can be reached directly from the two factories, a large number of zombies are blocked by iron gates, fences and two heavy trucks, there are only a few zombies along the way, although it is a little tricky at first, but it is not too difficult for Jian Qiu to solve them.
This is close to the suburban boundary, and the grocery store is just to provide some drinks, instant noodles, snacks and other small foods to the workers in these factories on weekdays, and the total storage is not much, but fortunately, Liu Lifan and they are only three people, and everyone has no exercise on weekdays, so it is enough for them to survive here for three or four months.
Liu Lifan couldn't sit still after staying in the small room of the warehouse for more than two weeks, there was nothing to do all day long, and he didn't have to play with his mobile phone, at most, he was playing poker with the three of them who Jian Qiu turned out of the grocery store, fighting landlords, Zakin flowers, and even blackjack, driving the train, and he was tired of panicking after a few days. Anyway, he couldn't sit still, Liu Lifan simply climbed to the top floor of the factory every day to observe the surrounding environment, either to make the next plan precisely, or to look at the rolling mountains in the sky in a daze.
The days passed like this, Liu Lifan and the others didn't make too much noise, and the stupid zombies outside the door didn't have to pay attention to them. And Liu Lifan's health is really good, although the wound is healing slowly, but there is no infection after all, not to mention what big exercise can be done for more than a month, but it can also help Jian Qiu chop furniture, burn fire or something.
In fact, the factory is also very good, there are three of them living in the wide yard and the spacious building, and there are no zombies to trouble them, Jian Qiu also said to Liu Lifan that if it weren't for the fact that the materials would always run out, she would still be happy to live like this, and she didn't want to live the kind of life of being frightened and fleeing every day.
However, more than a month has passed, although their food can last for another two or three months, but another serious problem has been paid attention to by the three of them: in December, the weather is already too cold, when there is sun, it is okay, everyone is still warmer in the yard to bask in the sun, but other weather is too cold, especially in the windy and rainy weather, relying on these two clothes on them is not enough.
"Brother Liu, it's raining again, it's not okay to go on like this, we'll freeze to death sooner or later in a few days."
On this day, the three of them were roasting around the fire in the small room, and Wang Chao rubbed his somewhat cold soles from the outside and said. In fact, he and Liu Lifan felt that it was too aggrieved to live in such a small storage room in such a large factory, so they had to move to the big office upstairs, saying that they wanted to live in a "villa" to feel the feelings, but Jian Qiu strictly forbade the two of them, and made them unhappy. Until today they didn't know how much warmer it was to stay in this small room than upstairs.
"You ask me, there are all factories around here, but they don't produce clothes and quilts, what can I do?"
Liu Lifan rubbed his face and glanced at Wang Chao. After getting along for more than a month, Liu Lifan and Jian Qiu are also relatively familiar with Wang Chao, although they were not all the way before, but in today's world, they take refuge under the same roof, as long as they don't have bad intentions, aren't they still human friends after all? When the day comes when they are about to flee again, who doesn't want to have one more companion for themselves?
