Chapter 39: Searching for Persons in Family Homes
"Gorilla, you're a cow!" Qiao Xin'er raised her thumbs to Wu Dabin and praised it, and she looked like an adult, and patted Wu Dabin's arm with her hand.
"That's, it doesn't depend on who your brother is, in our mess, my brother has always walked sideways, hahaha." Wu Dabin was not ashamed, and boasted to himself.
Fifty meters forward from Penglai Lane, there is the family courtyard of the officers and soldiers of the Pingcheng Army.
The old community in the 90s, counted, is still the house left by Xu Qingyang's father.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, a strong inheritance wind shows the group its sense of age.
The mottled old walls, the rusty gates, and the dusty carport at the top of the staircase undoubtedly tell the thrift and lack of arrogance of the traditional officers and soldiers of the previous generation.
Xu Qingyang grew up in such an environment, the uncle next door is the former commander of a certain military region, the aunt upstairs who retired and played Tai Chi every day is said to be a major general, and even the janitor is said to be a veteran who retired from a certain security department.
Xu Qingyang joined the army when he was 19 years old, starting as a small soldier and working his way up to the commander of an infantry division in the Northern Military Region.
However, even so, when he returned home, he still had to honestly call his father - good chief.
Chief of Staff of the Pingcheng Military Region, Army General, Xu Zhenggang, is his father.
It's just that my father passed away two years ago.
Only Xu Qingyang's wife Fang Yutong and his son Xu Fan remained here.
Building 5, Unit 2, Unit 402 is his home.
Walking through the green belt of the messy family courtyard, Xu Qingyang held a gun expressionlessly and walked quickly.
If he hadn't worried about the group behind him, he would probably have used it to run.
The so-called country, the country is the largest, the family is second, but it is still ranked second, and it is the place where he can never give up.
Wei Guoqiang gently closed the door, looking at the movement, the yard should be relatively safe, and the alley is what he is most worried about.
The mother and son of the little monk Xuanning and Li Aijia were left in the car.
Hyun Ning was fine, lying on the seat and yawning boredly.
Li Aijia's mother and son are still a little afraid, and the previous hurricane made both of them a little unbearable.
This is the second time they have come to Pingcheng, and sure enough, there are still so many people, but this time, people are going to eat people.
……
Go upstairs and be safe all the way.
The doors of several families were still wide open, and the houses were empty, and there was no movement.
2nd, 3rd, 4th floors......
Xu Qingyang took Wei Guoqiang and Wu Dabin all the way to the fifth floor.
Xu Qingyang stood at the door of the house, looking at the old Spring Festival couplets pasted in front of the door, and before leaving, he also told his wife that they would change to a new pair together during the Spring Festival.
His heart was beating faster, it had been eight days, and he didn't know if they were still there.
It was only now, separated by a door, that he regretted it a little, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to put his home in second place all these years.
He pulled out a key from his bosom, and he was used to keeping the key to the house in the pocket of the military uniform inside.
Click......
Squeak......
The door opened, and he gently opened the old security door.
The house was still as clean as it was before he left, and everything was as orderly as usual.
Yes, his wife Fang Yutong has followed him for so many years, and she has long understood his habits, and the placement of the house, just like Xu Qingyang, is orderly and upright.
"Yutong, Xu Fan?" Xu Qingyang walked in step by step and called softly.
He pressed his palms behind him and motioned to lower his gun, for he had a feeling that they were still alive.
Until, he searched every corner of the room, every wardrobe that could hide people, and found no trace of the mother and son.
It's over, if you're not at home, there's a sea of people, where to find it.
He thought that maybe they fled to their parents' home, but their mother's family was far away in Ganzhou, so they shouldn't.
Will you go to which Pingcheng relative's house to visit, the Xu family has a lot of relatives in Pingcheng, all over the city, you can't look for them one by one.
Bai Zong's thoughts, in his heart, he who hadn't shaved for many days, suddenly seemed to be much older.
His wife and children are the last line of defense in his heart, if even they are gone, what is the point of living in this world?
His eyes were red, and he sat down on the floor, rubbing his messy hair.
He thought to himself, how good it would be if he didn't go to Luoxia City at that time?
……
Wei Guoqiang looked at Xu Qingyang's sad appearance, thinking of his family in the south, and choked up for a while.
Men in their thirties, in fact, care more about their families.
When I was young, I thought it was cool to be a soldier, but when I was really old, I realized that I didn't know anything except being a soldier and driving.
So he desperately stayed in the army, just for that meager military salary and to create better conditions for his family.
Now, I don't know if my home is still there, and when I think about it, I feel very difficult.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the few apples on the coffee table that he hadn't eaten yet, but he didn't have any appetite at all.
Xu Qingyang's pain is his Wei Guoqiang's pain.
Until, he suddenly found the note pressed under the fruit bowl.
"Old ~ Xu, old Xu...... Come and see, quick! Wei Guoqiang stammered and took out a note and shouted at Xu Qingyang, who was squatting on the ground.
Xu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up from the ground and ran to the living room, only to find that Wei Guoqiang was holding a note in his hand.
He grabbed the note, only to see three big characters written on the note-Tianque Ancient City.
……
"Chief, what is this Tianque Ancient City? Where is it? Wu Dabin took the note and looked at the slightly scribbled handwriting on it and asked.
"Out of the southeast of the city, more than 30 kilometers away, is an antique scenic spot, there are antique city walls on all sides, it is regarded as a castle to prevent zombie invasion, but it is also an excellent place to go." Xu Qingyang looked at these three words and quickly calmed down.
He knew that this note must have been left for him by his wife and children when they were leaving.
I just don't know if they're there, and if it's safe.
"That's good, sister-in-law, they must have gone there." Wei Guoqiang patted Xu Qingyang's shoulder and comforted.
"I hope so, there is indeed a relative at home who is doing business over there, maybe he will pick them up." Xu Qingyang sighed and replied, but his demeanor was much more relaxed than before.
Since they left a note and resolutely left the house to go there, they must have known that it was safe there, and I just hope that when they go out, there won't be so many zombies in Pingcheng.
……
"Wait for us where you are, we'll be back in an hour." Dustbrook's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Zhang Lin was taken aback by this sound, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
