Chapter 42: On the Way Back
"Hey, hey, hey? Lao Guo? Pack up our things, let's go back to the stronghold, and that's all for today. ”
Lao Liu used the walkie-talkie to inform Lao Guo that they were closed, then turned around and said to the Zhang brothers: "Okay, pack the food, medicine or something, don't worry about the rest, we have it." ”
The two brothers of the Zhang family did not hesitate, and began to pack up all kinds of seasonings, drinking water, and beer and liquor with two big snake belts.
And the grain Chen Jun looked around, and the staple food was not as much as Chen Jun thought, only a bag of rice, half a bag of white noodles, and a large bag of dried noodles.
But then Zhang Meng took out two pork ribs, which surprised Chen Jun, and he still has this thing to eat, and he doesn't know where he got it.
"Wow! These two fans of pork cost thirty or forty pounds, right? It's also pickled, this thing is rare. ”
Compared with Chen Jun's quietness, Lao Liu Ke didn't have so many scruples, and walked around the ribs twice and praised him.
"I was a pig killer before, I just killed a pig on the day of the rain and didn't wait to sell it, the world is fucking like this, so I keep it at home and eat it, brother, if you two want to eat, I'll cut some for you."
Zhang Meng seemed to be hospitable, and took the initiative to cut some pork for Lao Liu, but the meaning of his words was also clear, Chen Jun and Lao Liu could eat it, but they would not take out all of it, let alone share it with others in the stronghold.
"Hey! This is like me trying to make you pork, and you keep your own things! But don't tell anyone that you have your own food, do you know what I mean? ”
Lao Liu didn't want them to contribute all the food at all, that was unrealistic, and Chen Jun had already set a precedent, and Lao Liu had also made up his mind, until he starved to death in the future, he would never let others share his own materials, if it was really forced to a certain point, the day of the division of the stronghold would not be far away.
"Okay, then it's done, big brother, I don't mean anything else, after all, this thing was left by us before, right?"
"That's the truth, can you hold things? Xiao Chen and I will help you carry some of it, come brother, give it to me, you can help some brother and sister. ”
To tell the truth, Lao Liu is still quite good at being a person, and he seems to be very open when he speaks and does things, maybe this is the skill he has cultivated in the department where he works.
Zhang Liang put his daughter-in-law on his back, Zhang Meng's daughter-in-law hugged the child, Chen Jun took the lead in going out to inspect the circle, nodded to them after there was no danger, and motioned for them to follow.
Several people walked with a trot for five minutes, and finally came to the side of the car, where Lao Guo and the others were already waiting next to the car.
Lao Liu hadn't told them about the newcomer, and he was surprised when he saw four men and two women holding big bags and small wraps behind him, and a child in his arms.
"Come, let me introduce first, this is Lao Guo, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhang, these two are Liangzi and Mengzi, and two younger siblings, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, Lao Guo, I'll get in your car, Liangzi and Mengzi follow Xiao Chen."
After saying that, everyone hurriedly got into the car, and after the fire, they were domineering in front, and the birds of prey were then behind, and quickly drove away from Zhang Xiang, and they did gain a lot today.
The Zhang brothers were still a little restrained after getting into the car, after all, they were talking to Lao Liu just now, and they didn't know much about Xiao Chen, a person who hadn't spoken much.
Chen Jun glanced in the rearview mirror, and after seeing Zhang Liang's daughter-in-law who was trembling uncomfortably in the back seat, he looked ahead again, but reached out to turn the air conditioner and heater to the highest.
"Thanks, buddy, how old are you?"
Zhang Liang thanked Chen Jun gratefully after seeing Chen Jun's movements, and felt that the sturdy man in front of him should be a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Twenty-four this year."
"Yo! Then we are the same age, Mengzi is one year younger than you, what month are you? ”
Zhang Liang didn't believe it, Chen Jun was very strong, sparse stubble, and he looked almost twenty-five or sixteen years old from the physiognomy, and even Zhang Liang felt that Chen Jun was pretending to be tender.......
And they are really not big, they both dropped out of school after graduating from high school to start a small business at home, and then their lives stabilized, so they got married early.
"I'm in April, what month are you?"
"Then you are older than me, my birthday on July 30th, then we have to call you Brother Chen."
Chen Jun smiled, his hands were not idle, but there was some surprise in his heart, Lao Liu said that the newcomer brought him, then these two strong men should go out with him to search for supplies in the future, so it is right to have a good relationship with these two brothers.
"Your house is too cold, it is estimated to be seven or eight degrees, my brother and sister don't like this cold, it's still so cold in the house, can you do it?"
"There's no way, I don't dare to burn the fire when it's cold, do you know that it snowed last month? It's too cold to want to make a fire, and after a while that thing runs in from the outside, and then he never dares to light a fire. The key is that I'm too damn rushed this year! How many people have been killed? ”
"Well, according to you, this calamity is all because of you? I can only say that my fate is not good, and I will tell you, at that time, the zombies ran to your house not because you lit the fire, but because they went crazy as soon as it snowed, and there was nothing wrong with the ignition, and those things would not look up to see if your chimney pipe was smoking, and you were freezing for nothing. ”
Such an oolong really made Chen Jun want to laugh from the bottom of his heart, he had never encountered this situation in his two lives, it was so funny.
"Hey, I'm a grass uncle! What the hell is this? Daughter-in-law, are we really white, he is frozen, and his toes are numb when he sleeps in this special cold. ”
"We haven't broken off the fire since we lit it, and we haven't recruited zombies once, so you say you have a lot of ideas?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this, my brain hurts when I talk about this, by the way, Brother Chen, how are the people in our stronghold?"
After Zhang Liang asked this question, the two couples pricked up their ears to listen, people are always full of uneasiness about the unknown life, although the stronghold is full of living people, but they are really afraid that the people inside will not get along.
"How so...... In these days, everyone will be a little selfish, right? Anyway, those people are selfish and selfish, but they won't say that they deliberately yin you or what, and the two younger siblings can rest assured, although there are many women in our stronghold, there will definitely be some small contradictions that men are not good at interfering with, but they will not bully women with men, you can rest assured. ”
Hearing Chen Jun say this, the two women were also relieved, when Lao Liu made an introduction just now, it seemed that these five men were not difficult people to get along with, they were afraid that some women would not get along well, and when the time came, there would be some contradictions so that their men would not be able to get off the stage.
"Okay, the gas station has arrived, Liangzi, you two take the handle, there are oil drums in the back compartment, help me take it down."
The car stopped, Chen Jun tried the oil gun at the gas station, fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to refuel.
"Chen'er! Let's go to the bathroom, you look at the gas tank. ”
Lao Liu said a word, and then walked towards the back of the gas station, Zhang Meng's addiction to smoking was a little big, seeing that they came down to let off steam, after talking to Chen Jun and Zhang Liang, he left the gas station and lit a cigarette and smoked.
"The car is full, Brother Chen, can you just take this bucket?"
"Well, yes, just take this."
Seeing that Zhang Liang was going to the overbearing car to pick up gasoline, and the Raptor fuel tank here was also full, Chen Jun pulled out the oil gun, bent down to unscrew the lid of the oil drum, and showed a weird smile on his face at an angle that others couldn't see......
"Xiaojuan, I want to vomit, I can't stand the smell of gasoline."
Zhang Liang's daughter-in-law felt sick in the car, and hurriedly called Zhang Meng's wife, asking her to help herself, and planned to get out of the car to relieve her breath.
As soon as I got off the bus, I was about to stay away from the gas station, when a zombie suddenly rushed out of the gas station house! exposed his bloody mouth and bit Zhang Liang's daughter-in-law!
There is less than two meters between the two!
